In the County Council imagings that
Mr. Mowat will curtail the patronage in
his hands by putting registrars, eheriffe

allowing thele to derive their income
from fess, it will find itself mistaken.
But it is a step in the right direction to

County Councils follow suit it may bring

has run up into thousands of dollars a

MANY of the good people of Canada
are vory virtuously indignant just now
at the exposures of corruption which
havo been made at Ottawa and Quebec.
Do not these people think they are
themselves largely to blame for the con-
ditions which have prevailed ? Every
candidate for Parliament is considered
legitimate game to be plucked by the
electors. Not only the needy but the
rich are eager to skin him alive if they
can get at him. They appear to have
almost forgotten that the exercise of the
right of franchise is a duty they owe
themselves as citizens of the state. The
consequence is that the candidate, being
human, and not wishing to be beaten,
and nob caring to be scored by his party
friends for failure to do everything pos-
sible to wit the fight for them, begins to
look around for money to spend against
the "free and independent" voters.
Such pressure will make the very best
of men yield. Corruption follows, en-
gagements are entered into which candi-
dates find themselves unable to fill out
of their own means, and if he be of the
party in power, ten chances to one he
will be forced against his better judgment
to accept money which he must feel has
come from a questionable source, may
be percentage on a Government con-
tract. The people are more to bo
blamed than the politicians for the
corruption.
The late report of the Bureau of Industry,
shows the yield of grain in On•
tario this year is extraordinary large, as
to be the case ;
was generally supposed ,
fall wheat averages from 25 to 30 bushels
per acre in many sections, and weighs
irom 60 to 65 pounds per bushel. Spring
wheat and oats are also far above the
average. The total yield of grains and
roots is estimated thus :-Fall wheat,
21,872,488 bushels ; spring wheat, 10,-
711,538; barley, 16,141,904; oats, 75,-
009,542; rye, 1,184,630; peas, 18,323,-
489; corn, (in the ear) 16,288,659; buck-
wheat, 2,608,142; beans, 769,600; pota-
toes, 24,055,866; mangol wurtzel, 11,-
779,448; carrots, 3,814,016; turnips,
68,863,452.;. hay and clover, 2,392,769
tons. The crop of wheat, spring and
fall, is estimated at 32,584,027 bushels
-nearly half as much again as the crops
of 1890. The oat crop exceeds the light
one of last year by..more than 22,000,000
bushels, while the average per acre is
the highest in ten years. The root crops
are enormous, but the potatoes are much
damaged by rot. The acreage of barley
sown is 148,200 acres less than last year,
yet the crop is. 541,787 bushels larger,
owing to the great yield of 29.2 bushels
per acre. The acreage sown in fall wheat
this fall is 15 per cent greater than that
sown in the fall of 1890, but the pros-
pects of yield are hardly as good as they
were last year. There is an increase in
the numberof nearly all kinds of live
stock in possession of farmers, especially
The Hamilton Herald announces as a
fact that Mr. Meredith is to enter the
Dominion Cabinet, and has handed over
hie law briefs to Mr. Dalton McCarthy's
firm preparatory to accepting off eo. No
appointment to the cabinet could give
greater satisfaction in Western Ontario
than that of Mr. Meredith.
The October bank statement shows
that Canada is a pretty prosperous coun-
try after all, and that the times are not
nearly so hard, as some make them out
to be. The increased demand for money
is not accompaned with higher rates of
interest, and in this respeetthe elasticity
of the Canadian currency system is ap-
parent. Since the first of August the
note circulation of the banks has increas-
ed 56,600,000,naw aggregating $37,182,-
000, as against $37,012,000 at the cor-
responding date of 1887, the previous
highest circulation.
Tuescientists say that the direct cause
of low water in the lakes and rivers, is
deficiency of supply from rainfall. We
have had a succession of several dry
seasons, that is, of years in which the
rainfall on our lake plateau has been
very light, andthe common conclusion
is that the country is becoming perman-
ently drier: A few cold winters follow,

notion that our ellnlate is becoming

The policy of the Government in as-
sisting emigrants from Britain to this
country, in most cases, works injury to
Canada. It encourages the pauper
element, who, when they are here,
prove to be as useless as they were in
England. We have had several demon-
strations of this in Exeter, to the detri-
ment of the town and chagrin its people.
Several families were brought out, by
the Government paying half the passage,
and for neatly two years several have,
for the greater part of the time, been on
the charity list of the town ; and it was
only this week that the town council
purchased a ticket for the transportation
of ono of them back to England. Desir-
able emigrants are those who have suffi-
cient money to pay their own passage -
those who have to be assisted will al-
ways be a burden to this country.

We are again reminded of our mortal-
ity by the death of Mrs.Samuel Gunning
on Monday evening, 16th inst., at the
comparatively early age of 41 years, 11
months and 17 days. Her death was
not unexpected as she had forsome time
patiently suffered from that dread dis-
ease, consumption, and had lately been
failing rapidly. She was very highly
respected be a wide circle of friends and
acquaintances, having, previous to her
marriage, taught school in this section
and also in No. 7, Usborne, (Zion.)
Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Gunning

hibition to the 3rd Division Uourt in the
county of Perth. The summons was en-
dorsed "To right of way to draw gravel as
per agreement for 1890, $9 " The learned
Chief Justice was of opinion that the claim
was one for compensation for the right of
way, and that tbe plaintiffs only remedy
was under arbitration clauses of the Mani-
oipsl Act, which, he thought, excluded the
jurisdiction of the Division Court. Ayles-
worth, Q. 0., and Mosorip (St. Marys), for
the defendants, supported the order for
prohibition. The court held that the title
to land did not come in question and that
it was not a naso foreompeusation for gravel
taken under a by-law or agreement, and
that there was no ground upon which the
decision of the judge in the Division Court
could be reviewed. Appeal allowed without
costs.

J. P. CLARKE.
We are thankful to our many custom-
ers who have so tong given us their pat-
ronage, and stood by us those fifteen
years past. During so many changes
and astounding bargains and induce-
ments held out as attractions, we have
it say that we still hold your confidence
and support. We feel that it is a guar-
antee that our past dealings with you
have been of such a character este merit
your approval. Our aim has been to
place before the public, or customer,.
such articles as are needed, at the lowest
possible price, thereby commanding their
respect.
I ani frequently asked er Why are
you advertising, Clarke t" you havn't
done so for some years ! My reply is
that it appears to bca necessity in these
days, that people regard those who ad-
vertise as being the only persons doing
business and who can be depended on.
We don't se believe, yet we are willing
to say, that no commodity advertised by
us, ,hall be seherwiee than we request
to be printed.
