TURN OCT THE BUODLERS.
The, independent stand taken by
the Toronto 'Globe against the gangs
of boocIlers at Ottawa and Quebec
should commend it to every right
thinking man in the Province.

one and all with the utmost severity,
,and whether the offender is a Quebec
Grit or a Dominion Tory, the Globe
handles him without gloves. ' As
might be e*pected, many of the
101,,1it't r;l.or..,l rnra
with the action of the Globe in calling
upon the Hon. Mr. Mercier and the
other members of his Cabinet who
have been charged with appropriating
public funds, to come before the
Se -- to committee and clear themselves
of the charges against them. In this,
however, the Globe is right. It makes
but little difference to the honest,
hardworking electors of thiscountry
who the thief is, or whether he be
Conservative or Reform, so long as
their money , has been stolen. But
what a glaring contrast there is
between the course pursued by the
Globe and that of its neighbor, the
Toronto Empire. While the former
has condemned in the strongest lan-
guage possible the Reform Quebec
boodlers, the Empire is, doing every-
thing it_can to. blacken the characters
of the men who are trying to unearth
' the scandals ,in the Public. Works,
the Public Accounts and other de -
departments, while the boodlers them-
, selves are allowed to pass without a
single ' word of ,condemnation . in its
columns.

TUI) MANY FENCES. •
The average farmer has too many
fields upon his estate orcertainly too
many "snalte" fences. From the land
thus needlessly occupied he usually
gets no crop, unless it be of brambles
and weeds which inflict upon him a
double We have _._..observed...on
some 50 -acre farms more than one acre
of good land unnecessarily taken up
with fences and yet the owners com-
plaining because they had 'not enough
land. The fact of the matter was that
they were not more than halfworking
what they had. After going over
some 40 farms this year entered for
prizes offered by the Ontario Agricul-
turaland Arts Association, one of the
judges said to, the writer that very few
of them were at - all entitled ' to the
appellation "prize farms." In some
cases capital was no doubt needed, but
the great trouble with almost all was
the lack of. what is called _"intensive"
farming. In consequence of their
loose methods the majority of thosre 40
farmers, he felt sure, were not making
one-half the profit 'of which their
farms were capable. What we have
.said about fences and weeds indicates
•that•the view or our information has a
,.good deal of foundation in fact,—Ex,
WHEN Canadian cattle' are landed at
British ports in good conditioi, they
will command the Highest prices. But
after being carried a thousand miles or
so by rail, huddled in close cars, and
then being bundled on board steamers
,to go several more thousands of miles
.UEder' unfavorable conditions, they.
cannot' he expected to be in very good
trim. Many,' persons travelling the
same distance with all the comforts
about them are broken up at the end
I of the journey, and poor beastscannot
be expected to make a better showing.
Shippers willfind that it will pay to
turn the cattle into the field for a few
weeks' rest after coming off the trains
and before sending them aboard ship.
Ontario Department of Agriculture
can be relied upon, then the farmers of
this province will receive for the
wheat, oats and peas which they, have
thin year raised in excess of the crop
of 1890, over sixteen million dollars.
Ater allowing for the shortage in hay.
and barley thfarmers • will still be
e'
fourteen million dollars better off now
than they were then, even on the basis
'13f -last year's prices.
THE old fashioned theory of summer
fallowing is being pretty generally dis-
cussed throughput the province just
now and seems in a fair way of being
how this will strike the old-time far-
mers and hard-shells. Prof. Shaw of
the Agricultural College says there are
fully $2,000,000 annually wasted in
this way. He says better sew Rye or
tuckwheat and nL.nah Thom under
These fancy professors come high and
must be had, But sometimes the.plain,
honest, practical, prodding farmer, can
discount them a long, way.
To •iHE Premier of Great Britain
belong great and peculiar ' powers.
Though the Sovereign is supposed to
be the head of the Church, the Premier
is practically the head. He fills the.
archbishoprics and deaneries, and the
32 bishops of the church, 24 of whom
have seats in the House of Peers, are
appointed on the Prime Minister's
advice.. The. salaries of .these church
dignitaries range from $75,000 per
annum (for the Archbishop of Canter-
bury) to $10,000 (for the Bishop of.
Sudor and Man,) The lord chancellor-
ship, worth $50,000 a year, is one of
the treasures. -within--the gift of tie
Premier. Then there are three lords
of appeal, having $30,000 a year each;
there is the lord chief justiceship at
$40,000, and many high judgeships at
$25,900, not to speak of knia gkee ls,_
baronetcies and orders of the garter.
The Premier appoints the Viceroy of
India, the Lord.Lieutenant of Ireland,
and the colonial governors. Members
of the Cabinet have $25,000 a year
each, and besides these there are over
30 positions in the Ministry at from
$7,000 upward. On the whole the
Prime Minister may be said to head a
long procession of titles and pounds
sterling.
WHEN THE BAGPIPES HAD NO
CHARMS.
An amusing episode recorded of the
Peninsula War seems to prove that
even the charms -of our beautiful nation-
al bagpipes fail to soothe savage breasts.
It happened that while one of the
Highland regiments was marching
across a desolate part of Spain, one of
the pipers for some inexplicable reason
found himself separated from his com-
rades. .. Halting on a lonely . plain, he
sat down to eat his breakfast, when, to
his horror, he saw wolves approaching.
When they came very near he flung
them all the food he had with him,
fully conscious, however, that this
meagre meal would not stay their
advances fpr many seconds. With the
calmness of desperation he then said :
"As ye've had the meat ye'll ha'e the
music," and he began to "blow up his
chanter." No sooner did his unwel-
come guests hear the first "skirl" of
the pipes than they turned in wild
terror and fled as fast as their long
leg:}.would carry theist. "Db'il ha'e
ye !" said the piper, " had f thocht ye
were sae fond o' the music ye wad ha'e
gotten it afore meat instead o' after."
Then hungrily he went his way, not
forgetting from time to time to blow a
blast so wild and shrill as might
effectually scare any prowling foes,—
Temple Bar.
— By Sir John • Thompson's new
criminal court bill any one who "wil-
fully destroys or damages the whole or
any part of any tree, sapling or ahrnb
(the injury done being to the amount
of twenty-five cents at least), shall be
liable to a fine, of $5 or one month's
imprisonment, with or without hard
labor ; and upon a second conviction
to $20 fine or three month's imprison -
went, with hard Tabor ; while a third
entails two years' imprisonment,"
