EDITORIAL; NOTES.
IN 1860 Cauada exported. '124,320
lbs. of cheese an. the United States
15,515,73a. In 1870 the -exports
were Sie427,782 and 57,.2e6,327. in
1880 there were 40,3„08,C78 and 127,-
553,907. Canada kept overtaking
her rival until in 1.8AS her exports
Ra173,1a7 p eerie and those of
1.7 Ill!••ei I Stares were SA,( )08,4:58. Next
(Aulittla Nrils ahead, the hist
fignaa being nearly revereed. In
leej the exports or Canada were
eenede, .valued a t $13,-
407.470 n, I thost it. United States
81-A4023 valnea at $7,624,048.
These figure:4 ai . contained' in a
Dominion pamphlet on the produc-
tions of the (alley and .nuteket there-
for. Practically all •aur exports of
cheese goes to Great Britain, and
nearly 59 per cent of the British
importis of Canadian cheese.
Compared with these achievements
the 1 ' . • •„ of the Cimadianb
•
trade is not very satisfactoree but
the export, small as It 'is, 'is nearly
equal to that of 'the United States.
In 181)3 it was 7.036 013 pounds,
• valued at $1,29ta814. Great Britain
imports 244,497,008 pountleeof butter
for which she pays i,,a8,330,591.
The quantity is rather less than that
of elt1clouble.
Canada ought to aim for a'5•000,000
worth of that trade, :and -then see
how much better -she •can • do. The
little kingdom of Denmark senile: into
that market 96,715,584 pounds of
butter valued at $23,597,177.

GLIMMER THE TOTIoNTO EVENING
isZEWS. — Thai action which was
brought n the geeett's Bench Divi-
sion by .11r. Harry Guiumer, of
Gttelph, publisher of the Fle,rald„
against the Toronto Elvealing. .News
Printinz Company., as tried :before
His Lordship Mr. Justice Rdbertson
,and a jury on Therseley and laaiday,
eat Guelph. The particulars or the
acme are that in au iesue of the 'Tor-
onto Evening News the 'defendants
pellished the following article:
"FAT JOBS FOR erneererts.”
How the Orders are used by some
members to make money.
:Considerable interest was aroused
last summer regarding the contract
foleprinting the Forester which was
alleged to have been awarded at ia
prism very greatly in excess of rates
offeved in Guelph and othertities."
The plaintiff, who had the contract
of 16inting for the High Court Cana-
dian Order of Foresters, claimed that
the meaning of the article published
by the defendants was that the
defendants referred to the plaintiffets
the gentleman who holds the contract
for priming The Fore-aer and the
organ of the Chosen Friends, toldby
the use elf the words "fat jubs for
printers' ;and "how the Orders are
.used by :some members to make
money," tale defendants intended. the
amb1ic to infer that the plaintiff had
wrongly used his position to obtain
by improper means corrupt contracts
for printing and without giving
:adequate vake in return, and mean -
Ng that the plaintiff was an mt-
worthy member of the Order to
,whieli he belonged, and referred to
bis being represented by The Foe -
ester and the organ of the Chosen
Friends, and that such article tended
to bring him info disrepute among
bis assoeiates and brothers in these
Orders.
Mr. Gummer immediately served a
notice that he claimed thearticle was
libelous and asked them to retraet
what they had said, hut The News
pRitt nt attention to it and refused to
pologiw. Mr. Gununer then com-
enced an action against them for
Vages and the defendants still re -
to apologise hut maintained
he article WAS true.
'his position the action came
''lie
and upon the plaintiff
article, the definalants
justify what they said,
e . •
s •
but although they called several
witnesses with the object of sub-
stantiating their chargee, all of' them
foiled, to prove any basis of impute-
- tion against Mr. Glummer, and 011
cross-examination aamitted that Mr.
Utuuiner had not been. guilty of any
improper act, in any way, in eonnee-
tion with Ids dealiuge with the some -
thee Mr. Gmemee then (1110(1 the
officers of the societie:: who line nnd
all denied the imputation.: contained
in the artiele and said that there was
nothing whatever in them The case.
then went to the jury. Mr. Nesbitt,
on opening the ease to the jnry and
explainilits to them the nature. et it
on Thursday, stated that if the de-
fendant would retract the ertiele,
•apologize and pay the tosts, that .11r.
Gummee woula abandon the action,
as he was not looking for maney, but
to get at the persons who weie, using
I the columns of the Ntays to defame
I him. The defendante, however, de-
! elined to :wept this proposition and
linsieted On their defame going on.
After the examination of a large
numbee uf witnesses, alr. Wellace
I Nesbitt, of Toronee who, with Mr.
IT. P. Caine% of Guelph, appeared for
the plaintiff, addressed thejury. At
I the outset, he explained the law on
the ease. In such actions the jury
were to deckle syn both the law and
the fact, a prsetice that had origin-
ated by the gifted Fox .over a hun-
dred years ago. The leading Eng-
lish authority had clearly shown that
lin eases of libel it was immaterial
what meaning the author intended
I to convey; what the .jury had to
'connect themselves with, •Nilas the
meaning the ordinary reader would
take out of the weeds, What that
I meaning was witness after Witness
had shown. Even a witness for the
, defence, Thornton, admitted that the
•, article insinuated at corruption on
• the part of the plaintiff. J. Howard
Hunter, registrar .of friendlyeocietle.s,
a man whose slaty it was; to sit in
solemn indgment itt all matters per-
taining to their welfare, testified that
the News article lesinaated wrong-
doing, and were his attention called
to it officially by a member, and it
was not contradicted, he wotild :feel
it his duty to investigate the •charge.
The defendants, When :called upon to
do so, refused to retract their state-
ment. They wouldt not give the
-.author's eatne, but it was selfeeeident
they allowed their paper to be used
by some secret •enenay of' the plaintiff
to vent his malice. Since they had
accepted the responsibility they
should be made•sweat for it. ." We
• have been following this lie everSince
I 1892," said the eloquent counsel, "bat
this is the first time we have met it
face to face to say it down." Mr.
• Nesbitt then went en to analyze the
tweak efforts of the defence to make
I out that Honest John Neel:nuts and
Mr. Elliott, of Winglume Mr. Brittoa,
, of Gananoque, Mr.: White, of Brant -
fora, Mr. Jameson, of Peterborough,
Mr. Henderson, of Whitechurch, a•nd
the other members of the Executive
were in a ring to give corrupt con-
tracts. Not one tittle of evidence
had been addueed itt jestification of
the innuendo in the Now6 article.
Closing, lie called on the jury to vin-
dicate the plaintiff s character. The
gaintiff did not come into court for
money, but since. the defendants had
libelled him and sought to justify the
eshel, they should be made pay sub-
stantially for the wrong they had,
dam.
THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. ,
Hid Lordship explained that it was
not necessary for the plaintiff, in a
case of written libel, to prove specific
damages through the publication of
the aitiele. He dwelt on the power
of the press for good or evil, and
said that if in the performance of
what. it considered a duty in expos-
ing an alleged wrong, a newspaper
e,ommitted a wrong itself, it should
pay the consequences. He expressed
the opinion that Edward 'Tow° was
at the bottom of the whole trouble
and had. got the News into this
scrape. He asked the jurymen to
take the article complained of to
their room, read it carefully, and if
it impressed them that the defendants
imputed to the plaintiff corrupt acts,
which the evidence had not justified,
then they were to return a verdict
for the plaintiff.
After about forty minutes deliber-i
ation, the jury came 11) with a ver-
dict for plaintiff for $200 and costs.
The Wile of thiS. cause celebre must ,
be gratifying to the members, of the
Canadian Order of Foresters, who
are justly proud of the straight -1
forward and upright course of the
officers and executive of the High
Court. The great good the (Wei' is
aecomplishing,cannot be carried on
unless baselese attacks en the integ-
rity of officials 410 promptly ehalleug-
ed, and, as is this case, promptly
disproved.
