I3,y an act passed last year the ouneils of every municipality are re- jpuirel to have prepared by the 10th of December a detailed statement of 111e year's expenditure for publication land cireulation amongst the rate- ll?Lyer:. This appears to be legislation in the right direction. Ratepayers ought to have the record of their muni• eirei repree.entatives given, thein before they are called on to reappoint thein or ehoose successors. The die- connected, verbal statements made on nomination day give the voters glad in- t.,.11igeFlt basis ou which to forth a ctrrect judgment. The most intelli• ;:;e:it and anxious voter can't connect these frequently" suppressed in: ':occa- siouailu distorted facts so as to salvo "a correct knowledge of the municipali tilt's' standing or obligations. If.pub- ]i,sbed statements are to be given the proper time to do it is before the election, instead of after. We believe our legislators did an exceedingly, op- portune and praiseworthy deed is requiring that these published state: talents be made at so early at trate. market i;7 l:i elms , .,i l.nlitation of elieer,e. r Gladstone gays that the spoalaers of the English Ian: a:go' have increased front 15 inilli;l.i to 101 million in the ?r•st l).un('lred, roars ; that they will number 180 million by 1,910 and S40 by the year 2,000. Ix France, taxpayers are es,este l for income tap: seeordiug to the number of their children. The more rhildrcn a man bas the less is the percentage Of his tax. If lie has children enougli he pays nothing at all. A Winnipeg jury disregarded the judge's instruction and brought in a verdict of live thousand dollars against the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany, in favor of the"avidow and oliild- dreu of an employee who brd lost his life by eatehing his foot in a frog, PORK PACKERS' ASSOOL1TION. At a meeting; hi Toronto last week a pork packers' association was formed and ideas exchanged on the subject, of "ho; marketing." The feeling was that there was going to be a great tltlantity.ef dressed hogs for the,' win- ter packing, and that such hogs would be marketed late on account of the abundance of food in the country. `It p➢stated that the farmers were holding them back for feeding purposes as the weather had been ,warn} and favorable to feeding. The members displayed a strong inclination not to -acivate:me packing operations until the price settle to about 6 or G cents, as their previous experience in this respect had resulted in. no profit and likely a material loss. The neem. leers also took into consideration the large amount of adulterated American hard that hags been flooding this country lately. It was stated that, this imported ental was apt to compete with. aauadian manufactured lard and had depreciated the price of the latter. ft was alsosaid that the American lard wais adulterated with cotton seed oil and other•in gredients.
