FRIDAY. AUGUST 7, :.891,
;tfDYTORIAL NOTES.
CONTRARY to all expectation, Rev
0 H Spurgeon is recovering from his
recent serious illness.
Tnu Dublin Freenrans Journal has
repudiated Parnell,so also have Messrs
O'Brien and Dillon,and it seems likely
that the days of the "uncrowned king"
politically are numbered.
IN TEE matter of .controverted elec.
inions the law is amended se as to have
petitions tried before two judges in-
stead of one, Hereafter a candidate
will not bo liable for corrupt acts of
bis agents committed against bis ex-
press orders, and where tha candidate
also took reasonable means for preven
ting the conn iagion of corrupt praee
tices.
BY a special amendment to the Do-
minion Frauehise Act passed by Par-
liameut last week, and assented to by
the Deputy -Governor on Friday, the
tints for the revising officers to receive
the declarations of those who have
the right to vote bas been extended
for two weeks, That is to say, dec-
larations of voters must now be in the
hands of the revising officers on or
before August 14.
Trrn crop reports from different
parts of the country promisea plenti-
ful yield,and consequently an unusual-
ly prosperous fall trade is looked for-
ward to, Manitoba and the Northwest
will yield millions of bushels more
• than last year, as over 250,000 more
acres are under, cultivation than last
year, and jig this 'Province the pros•
pects are bright especially in livestock.
Consequently the people may look
forward to a busy and profitable season
after the harvest,
WiIEN the Legislature holds its
ixext session • Ontario will • have been
twenty years under Liberal Govern -
anent. The Globe remarks that money
1 bas been freely spent upon education,
upon charity, upon the care of the af-
flitted in mind, body and estate, upon
various public purposes ; yet there is
a large surplus in the treasury. " The
departments have not been a happy
hunting ground for boodlers. New
legislature buildings, solid, substantia.]
and in every way worthy of the Prove
ince, are nearly completed. No con-
tractor in that building has ever prose
vided a dollar of election boodle, coinponsating himself by adding thousands
of dojos to tae amount of his tender.
No member of parliament has invested
the office of the Minister of Public
Works, worming out the details of
tenders,azr4 sending them to his friends.
It is vain that one tries to imagine
eh thingsgoing on under the eye of

in the sale, and in which case it shall

by the amendment that the alcohol
shall be removed from the premises.
The amendment is only a restoration
of the restrictions of 1878, which were
amended by the 1888. amendment.
Teh8 budget debate ended.on Tues-
day morning and resulted in a defeat
of Sir Diehard Cartwright's amend-
ment by 114 to 88. That the policy
of reciprocity with the United States
is a popular one and meets with a•
diminishing opposition is shown not
only by the results of the last general
election but by the following table
setting forth 'the divisions in the
House of Commons on this question

Ma McKay, M P, of Hamilton,
presented to the Dominion Pullet-
ment,
arlletmeat, on Monday, a petition from Mr
John B Buckingham, past high chief
ranger of the Ancient Order of For.
esters,of Hamilton. The petition sets
forth that many persona are now - en-
gaged, especially hi this Province,
organizing .associations purporting to
be benevolent, charitable, etc., when
they are indeed of a very questionable
character. Their agents or officers
wind up the affairs of the associa-
tion by leaving the country, or in some
other way detrauding the members by
their beguiling language or high-
sounding titles, thereby bringing
respeetable and solvent societies into
contempt with the general public,
Under ` theBenevolent and Other
Societies Act for Ontario of 1877, the
method to become a body corporate is

petitioner the time has therefore

existing state of affairs by legis.

were aroused by the fire alarm and.
their attention called to a fire in the
south end of the village which resulted
in the total loss of John Thompson's

There was a large quantity of tow
