S. from this country, has been rescinded, R5a consequence of the action of the Minister of Agriculture at ottawa put- ting into force the same regulation as egainst sheep and swine entering the Dominion from other countries. The effect of Secretary Rusk's action was t cripple in a great measure the Canadian trade in lambs with the United States, as the delay of fifteen days in marketing the lamps, the care, the feed, the loss of flesh in pens' would run up the exit so high that the quarantine would hare the same effect as a prohibitory duty. The question of the quarantine created little disturbance in °female when it was d6. covered that if we could not market our young fatlings in the United Seates, there was an alternative market in Eng land for mature mutton, and one of the best services which the Onterio Model Farm authorities ever did in return for the large support they receive from the public was in the shipment of :one hun- dred sheep to Liverpool, which were sold out at satisfactory prices. While the former action of Secy. Rusk would diot affect us materially, yet it was felt to be not unreasonable that the queran- tine laws of this country regarding sheep and swine should be assimilated to those of the United States for the protection of our flocks and herds, no less than as a preservative of a lucrative trade in lambs. ity charges "telegraph wires, telephone wires and wire fences" with being the cause of the unusual drought which this province has experiences' this spring and summer. He argues that thunderstorms being caused by electricity isolated in a cloud, and the wires in question being conductors of the subtle fluid, the clouds cannot pass over them without being robbed of their electricity which means that they. shall 'either collapse or dis- perse. Says he, "So long as the cloud it permitted to retain its electric energy, , so long will it run on the air current over the dry country, and water the parched ground beneath. Two agents only willdeplete it of its force, lightning, which causes .the electricity to escape, and, a conductor.The former' will act only when it is too powerful; but let the cloucl pass over a single eleetric wire and in a few minutes it will. either collapse or disperse it." Prof Wiggnis does not explain, however, how it happened' that about forty years ago, before the 'coun- try was netted over with "telegraph wires .telephone wires, and wire fences," If the testimony ot the witness Mur- phy were to find corroboration it would be hard to exonerate the Minister of Public Works from the charge of par- ticipationin the grave scandals advanced by Mr Tarte. , But assurance is given that the evidence in question is not to be relied on. It is monstrous to ask the people of Canada to believe without corroborative facts to sustain the asser- tion, that Sir Hector Langevinharbored this man in his house as the dispenser of stolen boodle. Sir Hector himself gives a positive denial of Murphy's state meat, and promises that when his op- portunity comes he will be able to clear himself. Even the Toronto Globe, which has relentlessly hounded the Minister on the strength of the Tarte charges, discredits the statement of Murphy, after giving it the fullest prominence, when it says It would be unfair to regard it as conclusive of Sir Hector's guilt. He and his witnesses have still to be examined, and they may succeed in putting a different face upon the matter. This is precisely what Sir Hec- tor pledges himself to do. He will deny, if we are rightly informed. that this man Murphy was ever it his house, or that he over gave him the sum of money stated, or any other moneys the month of May was quite ELS.Ciry *8 wrongfully.
