There are as rimy pure minued men on the Minister- tal aide tsf the House as on the other ; bet they are not going to weaken in allegience simply because certain forms cerruption have been brought to light while a Censervative Government is in power. They see that the Govermnent has not in any way been guilty, nor in the lent degree has it countenanced the znethods by which a few men have en- riched themselves at the public expense. For this reason the party strength will mit he impaired by any course which the Liberals may take between now and the end of the session. While being per- fectly innocent of any blame for the cor- ruption which has been exposed, the Government is determined to institute 4. Morin an ▪ mete out retribution; and thet is all the Liberals could dn. But is it not a fact that stealin,g.has to some extent lost its hideousness in the eyes of many decent people ? The hard- ier, the swindler, and the cheeky thief have rather become objects of curiosity than of loathing and contempt, as they should be. The boodler is voted a smart fellow, the swindler mayliap divides his spoil with his lawyer and the detectives, who hold the evidence against him, and escapes,while the common thief is taken by the hand and encouraged by men who are themselves honest. Boociling, or rather thieveng, is on the increase, a fact which is due wholly to the coun- tenance shown thein by society. Let a thief be treated with the consideration hilds tespect due honest men alone, and thieves will multiply. If there is to be no punishment/ no ostracism of thieves on the pare of soaleky, IF the thief is to be taken by, the hand by honest men and made their associate, without any feeling that they are degrading themselves, old fashioned honesty must become a thing of the past. Exposure of pilfering, swindling, leJodling, robbing, or what ever it may be,no longer shock the moral Renee of the community. In many of our towns, men who deserve to be in the penitent- iary and. are utterly without principles, walk about with heads erect. They show no signs of shame. Honest people do not avoid but often seek their com- pany. What wonder then that the only thine some men fear is imprisonment. If'ss. thief be caught and serve a term in jail, he loses caste. If the thief be not prosecuted, though well known to be a thief, he appears to suffer nothing in public estimation, though why a punish- ed scoundrel is any better company than . an unpunished one it would be herd to tell. For the sake of honesty it is a good thing that these exposures of stealing have been -made. They may rouse peo- ple to a sense of their duty to themselves. It may separate honest men fromthieves. Honesty must be vindicated no matter whose party ex is gored. If thieving is necessary to keep either the Liberal or the Conservative party in power, then both should go. We cannot afford to bring up the present generation in an atmosphere of moral pollution. Down with thieves, both public and private. t t t Canada atill Ike behind in the manu- facture of butter for the European mar- ket. Last year the export of cheese aumunted to $0.000,000, while that of the butter reached only 8330,131. This despafry should not be so great, if our farmers availeti themselves of the ad. vantages brought to their doors. In no ountry have more pains been taken to put the agricultural classes in the way of proper dairying than in Canada, and it is Intel time that our butter -makers be- gan to give practical evidence that_they have gained something by the precepts and example that have been lavished upon them. * ** failure of the enumerators,is eliminated, it may be regarded, as approximately true that 2,250,000 families of the 12,- 500,000 families of the United States oc- cupy and own incurnbered farms and homes, and that 10,250,000 families oc- cupy farms and homes that are neither hired nor owned tree. The proportions of hired. and owned -free homes and farms will be known when the popula- tion dielsion completes the count of the returns pertaining to them. The pre- liminary resulte indicate that the average •debt for a farm in Iowa is $1,288; home, $719; average for farna and home, $1,- 140. If these averages timid good for the Union the incumbrance on the farms and. homes of the United States occupied by owners is about $2,563,000,000. e 1. ÷ The Ontario farmers increased their ive stock property last year by 18,832 horses, 84,103 horned cattle, 334,056 sheep and 15,757 hogs, and the cut of stool by 800,000 pounds.

For 0 information of the uninitiated we may say that "Primary" means 3rd class certificate as formerly used; "Junior Leav- ing" 2nd class, and "Senior Leaving" lst classh. Te papers fer the third class examine. tion were exceedingly difficult this year,and it is surprising that so many passed. No one need be surprised if Mercier is ub dead politically six months hence as Parnell is now. The Quebec Premier has made use of his Papal deeeratione as a bait with which to Catet votes and the cloak of a Tinight of St. Gregory has been used to cover his plundering of the treasury of the Province. This has been done so openly that the Catholic clergy have been forced to withdraw their countenance from the Roman count. So far, Mr. Mercier has succeeded in keep- ing himself in favor of Rome, but he cannot long do this if the clergy of his own province array themselves against him. Withoub the Pope's assistance, and loaded down with the Baie des Chaleurs scandal. the fall of this political adventurer would be more rapid than his rise. * * The 1. S. prese has set itself to dis- parage Manitoba and the North-west Territories. The Milling World, of Buffalo. is very fond of trying to grind Manitoba to powder, In its last num- ber is a sayage attack upon some one who stated that Manitoba would yield 25,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. It goes so far as to say ,that, when that happens, "the Canuck sky will rain plum pudding and fricassed chicken." Replying to the envious remarks of that paper, the Journal of Commerce con- tends that one valley in the N. W. con- tains over 300,000,000 of fertile acres. If they were developed by culture that one valley could grow more wheat than the whole product ot the States. The Miller calls Canada "frosty." That is as unwise as it is unkind, for the epithet will hurt his brethren iii Dakota and Minnesota, which are fully as "frosty" as Canada. * * * The count of the farm.honie transcript made in accordance with the mortgage collections elause of the United States Census Act has' been cornpleted by the Census Office.

The clothing was stamped with the name of James Shaw, La Grange, Cook County, and in the trunk was found a letter to the same address from his sister at Manitou Springs, Col. It was dated last December, and advised him, as the eldest member ol the family, to go on a visit to their mother in Prince Edward Island.

HAMBuEG, Conn., Aug. 24.—Several years ago a, man named Kildeer Hufl came to this place from no one knows where and made his place of abode a rude hat onlhotato Hill. He was eccentric and he led a solitary life. He pretended to be deaf and dumb, but boys who tantalized hiln say that he could swear very fluently. He was apparently hump- backed, and on account of his deformity he was an object of pity to the townspeople. Last Friday he was found deadby the road. side near his hut. The villagers were sur- prised by the discovery that the demi mats was a humpback no more.
