The Exeter Advocate, 1894-5-10, Page 4THE thab butter had brought from 24 to• 27 cents per pound in Montreal, less the zeta-oo.iAte. freight and commission. The winter SANDERS & OYER, Trop, stations alonelead yielded to the farms rug community upwards of $100,000,,-- T.i (JRS'DAY, 1VIAY. lOtu, 1$94, and this sura toall appearances would reach in 1894-95 over C$250,000. As an illustration of the advantage to be derived from dairying, Mr. Robertson stated that the freight charges on a tub of butter and a bushel of wheat from Montreal to Liverpool were the same, while the wheat bought 60 cents and a tub of butter sold for from $12 to $151 Arrangements have been made for Prof, Robertson to visit Manitoba and the N. W. in June, and confer with the Western farmers in regard to dairy- ing and mixed farming. It is also ar- ranged that the Governor General, who is to take up summer quarters near Halifax, N. S., has consented to address three farmers' ponies in the Maritine Provinces -and with His Excellency's well-known popularity, such visits will go far towards making Canada better known among the people aid farmers of the Motherland. THE NORTH—WEST SCHOOLS. A most important statement was made last week by the Premier, Sir John Thompson, on Mr, Tarte's motion ffor bringing down all the papers and correspondence touching the Manitoba school's, and the ordinances adopted by the. Legislature of the N. W. Territories egarding education, In the course of n heur's speech the Premier demon- ots'ated very clearly the constitutional etandi taken by the government on this vexed question which has caused so inate irritation throughout the Doinin- ' on. A good deal of political capital was sought to be made by the French :members of the Opposition, inasmuch tee they tried to make it appear that the use of the French language in the Horth•Wes.t Schools had been inter- fered with. Strange to say, not one aetitioner had made this a matter of complaint; and those members of Par Lament who represent the North-West Territories, and who have a right to ;speak for their constituencies, asserted that not only did no grievances exist but that no complaint was ever heard of until the matter was aired by cer- tain members in the House of Com kions, So far as Manitoba was concern- ed, the government did not feel justi- f:ed in recommending a disallowance of the Act passed by the Proyince,— bnut allowed the matter to be decided y the courts of law. The first decision, as to the competency of the Legislature Atte-Manitoba to pass such an Act, was adverse to the R. C. minority; and then when, after petition by them, asking for remedial legislation, the Cabinet at Ottawa decided not to interfere but to lay the whole case before the Su- • reme Court of Canada, a majority of the judges of that court decided ad- versely to the minority; and now that minority had decided to appeal to the Privy Council in England. Thus the Matter stands at present. The Premier stated that the members of Cabinet were entirely agreed,on the conclusions arrived at by the government; and farther he showed conclusively, to the satisfaction of the leader of the Oppo eition himself, that the Premier had neyer promised the R. C. minority to give them remedial legislation. Nu. such promise had nes-er been made either expressly or by implication. We think that no unbiassed person will now pretend that Sir John Thompson acted in any manner unfairly or in a way calculated to compromise the in tirests of Protestantism. Curiously nough Sir John has been attacked by extremists on both sides -by his co - religionists in Quebec who charge him with sacrificing the interests of the Catholic religion; and by hot headed Protestants in Ontario who with less reason than the people of Quebec found fault with his administration, as if favoring Roman Catholics. From all that has transpired, we can hardly ex- pect that any future Canadian Premier will more ably or impartially discharge the delicate and responsible duties that devolve on the First Minister. .PROF. .i OI3ERTSON AND THE FARMERS. Prof. Robertson, Dominion dairy Commissioner, has announced through the columns of the Toronto Empire a plan by which the government and the President of the C. P. R., Mr. Van Horne, are to encourage a large dairy- ing industry in Manitoba and the North-West. The farmers in these Western Countries have hitherto main- mainly depended on grain "grossing. but:with the sanction of the Depart- ment of Agriculture the 0, P R. is about to erect . creameries all along, their line at convenient distances, with a view to encourage our 'Western &eine ere; to, go, extensively into:elairying arid' mixed farming. It seems' .kom Prof Robertson's report, that the Island of • Prince Edward has lately de'elopcd cheese factories at the' .suggestion of the dairy commissioner with good :ref sults, Two years; ago the Dominion government built one cheese factory • there, and now the Island farmers have this year no less than seventeen face toeres in operation, So far as Ontario • Arnaers, are concerned, great advances have been made within a short period • both in cheese factories and creameries Now through the advice of Prof.. Rob- ertson;wt tef?1airyinff; station have freesx established and thus the govern. *rent had interested gar farmers in winter butter making, The same 7$tri alegs that were used in summer for cheese factories, eve utilized in win - tee as creameries --and Such has Geon News of the Week in Brief.

The Festive Shoddy Peddlers. The chief of police at ,Goderich has received •a communication from James Davis, chief constable at Blyth, Huron Co., asking him to be on the lookout for a man named J. J. Bear, who is wanted there on a charge of selling goods un- der false pretences: `It appears, from a circular which at companied the let- ter, that Bear represented himself as agent' for a lrm named. Shepard How. and & Co., of England, which had branch offices in Toronto and Winni- peg. This firm is supposed to menu facture woolen goods and sell direct to consumers at less than half the cost which retailers charge. He also car ried for baits samples of to ts, sugars, boots and shoes, ecc., for which he took orders, and to every customer repre- seated that their orders could at any time be duplicated at the same rates: When the goods turned up they were invariably cheap shoddy articles that would be dear at any Flee, and the purchasers found they had no one to. whom they could appeal, for while the circulars gave the style of the firm they did not state. Clearly where the firm was located. Bear was acting in con,juntiou with a resident in Stray• ford and the two succeeded in victim. izing a large number of residents of Huron county, after which they both vauished. The matter was reported to the police, with the result that an order was issued for the arrest of Bear. Farmers and others have been repeat- edly warned through the press to give such characters a cool reception, but in spite of all warnings they continue to purchase from pedlars who grow rich on the spoils of their victims. Farriers will find it to their interest to patronize city merchants who have their reputa- tions to uphold and who may be de- pended upon to give value to their customers.

L Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: "Gentlemen—I am glad to say that Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills have done me 'a great deal of good.

I went from here to St. John, N. 13., in my packet schooner, and was so helpless and in such suffering that 1 could not get out of the cabin. The captain of another schooner came on board to see me, and wanted mo to get Hood's Sarsaparilla; he said it had Sarsapar111a cured him when he was so bad that his wife bad to feed him. I s ant to Boston for two bot- tles, which did for me all I had been told 1•Iood's Sarsaparilla would do. I gained rapidly and when I had taken the two bottles I was able to work.
