We Anal call your etteutien to emu point only in ibis article, the $ehool question. Once edu- cation In Ontario WI:' eefrom Now it is not. Once it was possible to purchatm school books at something like their iutrinsie vallie. NOW it is not. A candidate the other day, (wbo knows whereof he speaks, for he has been a school inspectur) held up on cora- pariseu two books before a gathering of electors in Oatario and gave some illus. tautens which all thoughtful electors s should cousider. One bort was a cur- rent novel and the other a fourth rend- er used in the public schools, The novel was better hound, better printed and in every way a book or greater in- trinsic value than the reader. Yet how did they compare in price? The ;lord leas twenty-one (-vile, the school' book. forty fire. The novel had an uncertain market depending upon public popu larity aed its sale would last only for a year at most, which the schoel book has an absolute market and can have no rival among over two millions of pee. ple where children are obliged by law to go to school. and obliged by law to use this expensive book, not daring to substitute auother, This is the very principle, only more intensified, the violation of which caused the awful civil war ire England, overthrowing the monarchy and killing the King some two hundred and fifty years ago. King Charles .1. and his ministers demanded excessive subsidies, but demanded them for the very life of the state against a foreign foe, while Mr. Geo. Washing - ton Ross demands a subsidy of over 1000/0 above what a publication proves to be a legitimate profit; first for the honor of his crown as Minister of Edu- cation, and Second to father the para- sites which his abuse of responsible government has gathered about the de- • partment, miscalled education Elec- tors of Huron, will you vote for Mr. Mc- Lean and school book robbery, or Mr. Either and educatiooal economy?

The machinery has all been placed 10 order for preservation during non.us- age, and the engine hari beau aliment - led. As far as present indications go4 the factory is likely to remain closed, aud some 70 hands in all will be thrown ou t of employment. This is another black eye for Brantford at the heeds of Reformers, Inclutilug:Fenatore and members of the Legielative Couecils, whieh exist in ennui of the provinces, we have in all 719 members of Parliament, or about one member to everv 7.000 of our pop. elation. These members draw every year as sessional allowances 031,140, besides mileage, which probable. am- oauts to utterly, if vot quite $100,000 more. The Cabinet ministers who draw .salaries number in all fifty, and receive yearly $217,300. If Great 13rit- aitt and Ireland had proportionately as many members of Parliament would uumber about 5,752 and tbe TJuited States Were proportionately governed, their Cabinet Miaisters and State offic- ers would number 756 and their sena. torsattd Representatives over $10,000. DOHERTY BAY GO TO LONDON. Provided terms can be arrived at the chances aro that the Doherty Orgau Company will move to London. The works were deetroyed by fire a few days ago at Clinton, and although the Town Council bave offered the firm a loan of $25,000 for twenty years with- out interest un conditiou of their re building, the firm have not accepted. It is uuderstood, instead, that they would greatly prefer removing to a more central location, such as is Lon. don. Mr. John F. Sherlock a repro, septative of the firm who resides in Londtn, says that the firm will rebuild somewhere at once, and on an exten- sive scale. At the time of the fire nearly 500 orders for organs remained unfilled. The firm employed 150 men and last year paid out in wages $50.- 000, The output is about 400 organs per month. Mr. Sherlock says that should the firm decide to move to Lon don they- would require about live acres of ground. VITAL STATISTICS. The report of births, marriages and deaths for the Province of Ontario, foi,4 1896, have just been issued. This re- port is always a year behind, due to the difficulty of getting returns, yet it contains some interesting facts. The following statements pertaining. to Huron are taken from its pages; bear in mind they all relate to 1896: -Popu- lation, 70,253;.births, 1,824, being an increase of 1116 over tlae previous year; marriages, 361; a decrease of 42; deaths 587, an increase of 54. The average death rate for ten years, per 1000 of po- pulation was 79; this is as low a 'death rate as occurs in any country in Ou tario, and much lower tban some oth- ers, thus showing that Huron is fairly healthy. Of the deaths pneumonia., phthises and old age carry off more than any other cense.OE the births, 153 occur in June, this being, the larg est number in any month, February being the smallest, with 73; 10 pair of twins were born; 685 maks and 639 fe- males were the sexes,refuting the idea that more girls than boys are born. The largest number of marriages took place in March, there being 40, while Je nuary„Tane, October, Novem her and December, each leturn 37.
