A county contemporary, a reform organ, is,excessively annoyed be- cause THE Times in a recent article stated that the Mowat Government had -for many years past been systematically robbing • the municipalities of the province • of moneys under the cunning pre- tence., of reforming the liquor • license law. Our critic goes out • of his way to state that the offend- ing article was not written by the editor of the TINES, but by some "budding politician whose head is too big for his brains," Other epithets are freely burled at a supposed writer, showing quite clearly that the critic attributes the authorship to some individual towards whom he entertains a • strong personal antipathy grow- ing probably out of the recent election. However, what the • article contained rather than who wrote it, is what concerns the people who pay taxes. Me. McLean 711aims that the 2.rticle contained no proof that Sr Oliver Mowat hes broken faith in the matter of the license questien. ,kto proof was adduced because none was necessary. Every person whose memory reaches back to the time when the licens- ing power was taken from muni- cipal councils remembers well that Sir Oliver promised that one Conservative would be placed on every Board of Commissioners. It is almost certain that there is not a Conservative on any one of the license boards in the whole pro- vince. If that is not "breaking faith" the TIMES does not under- stand riwhat "breaking faith" means, eareful audy of thej following figures will convince the intelli- gent taxpayer that he has ben, most unfairly dealt with by the Mowat Oeiverneiente But before going into the figures let It be noted that when municipal govern- ment was given Upper Canada the councils were given control of the , funds raised from licenses in order that they might have revenues - with which to carry on municipal government, build bridges, roads, &c., without resortfito heavy taxation. In 1876-77 from 3938 licenses granted the revenue was $439,457 96. Of this the municipal councils were allowed to retain kir expendi- ture for roads, bridges, etc., the sum of $281,243.5,8. In 1892-93 from 3413 licenses the revenue was $664,169, �r$124,712 more than in 1876.77, Of this vast increase the municipalities were banded back $289,996 as against $28i, - In 1876-77, apaltry $8,000 in- crease. Had the municipal councils been treated fairly they would have been given the entire increase, ehich, in ten years, as these figures show, would have been one and a quarter million dollars. Had they received that armee it, the tax payers would have to pay one a quarter million dollars less than they have paid to the municipal tax gatherers. In these days when wheat is sating at fifty cents a bushel, this would have materially lessened the -alert-lens of the local tax payers, who, no doubt, whenever they look at their heavy tax bills, de- nounce their municipal councila • for extravagance, losing sight of the fact that the 'councils are come pelted to increase taxation because the moneys Whicji should be banded over to them for municipal purposes are misappropriated and spent by the provincial govern. • tient. Anyone but a thick and thin supporter of the provincial government will admit that these are startling fienres, and that they reveal a state of affairs which de. nnaud a remedy. When Sandheld Macdonald left power in x872 the expenditure of his government was a trifle °Vey one million and three quarters. In r892. under Sir Oliver, it had risen to a trine Over four million dollars. • In spite of thi,i huge aid lolly alarming in- crease the Mowat Government boasts that it has not had to n- eed to direct taxation, But the rA'.e ayarwillnot OTES .AND comMBNTs "Free Trade" is to be the cry of the Liberal party at the next election, yet the Tiser ends fault with the govern - mast when they effect a treaty with Franca which lessens the dui, on several articles. An incident deserving of notice in connection with the acceptance of the French treaty ,by the Dominion Par- liament is that the French members voted almost in a body for it, simply as a means of showing hbw strongly tinged with Frenchiam they are. Mis axlx x There are 46, or say. 47 members elected to support Mr. Mowat. There is but half the house if 47, and one less than half if 46. There are 27 straight Conservatives and 17 or 18 Patrons of Industry. Mr. Mowat, it is clear, cannot rale the House by means of a straight Liberal vote.

They will, in addition :es, this, if need be, send a con- tribution of $10,000 in cash, if this is a fair specimen ofJapanese ity to native land the Mongoliatse have a mighty hard summer's work before them. x x x In the new Ontario Legislature the professions will be represented as tollows : Farmers Lawyers Merchants Doctors Lumbermen Journalists 43 18 9 6 5 ' Cattle drover, miner, marble worker, banker, foundryman, tanner, one each. xx x The municipal debt in Ontario cities emanated, in 1890, to nearly $71 per capita. The taxation in townships in the Prolific° bowed from .$$,694,000 in '81 to $4,599,000 in '92. In the nine period the levy in towns and villages ;lumped im from $1,336,000 to $2,452,- 000, while in cities it advanced from $2,144,000 to $4,757,000. We are striking a pretty lively pace in the patter of mem textitIon. x 3 X The Waterloo Star (Lib.) is vigorous- ly protesting against the proposition that the Frenchin Ontario shall be represented in the Cabinet ef the Pro- vince. The Star iff emphatieally right; and in accord with oursentiments. We made a huge mistake in acknowledging the principle of sectarian representation in tb e Provincial Government. Instead of aggravating that mistake by giving recognition to racial claims also, we should rather -retrieve the error already committed and except Mr. Meredith's declaration that race or religion shbuld neither be a passport to, nor a bar from, public office. x x x It is folly to contend that the selling price of property is a safe basis for the assessment of property. Selling prices fluctuate, and in real estate the relation between price and value is not always intimate. Often the selling price of property is determined by the number of fools who may be chasing real estate at the given time. The more fools the higher the assessment, but the fact that somebody offers to take land at a dertam figure and pay for it with promises proves nothing more than that some one is more sanguine than sen- sible. Property is worth more than the rental which a poor shanty on a , good lot will bring. Property is not woeth a cent morn than it will yield when utilized to the best advantage and land should be assessed in proportion to the returns which it will yield when rightly used. x A protest against the election of Mir M. Y. McLean who was returned by a very smell majority as member for Soath Huron at the last general elect. ion, was yesterday lodged. at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Serious charges of bribery and corruption are made in the petition. The compilation of evidencs has been proceeded with quietly and imostentationely, but it is reported that a large number of instances in which time electors were bribed or spirited away by agents of Mr. McLean to pre- vent their voting for Mr. Weismiller have been discovered. It is also alleged that there is good evidence that voters were bribed by direct • payment of money by leading agents of the Liberal candidate, while scores of supporters of Mr. IVIcLean, who had no right to vote, will be accused of swallowing the oath, and illegally voting. Some deputy Returning Officers even refused to ad- minister the oath when asked to do so. Since the protest Was resolved on, Other instances of corruption, bribery and in. timidetion on the part of Mr. McLean's friends are etated to have come to light, and no doubt additional evidence wilt yet be forthcoming. The old habit of one constituency sawing off With another will not be fellowed as regards South Huron, the petiti000r, we under- stand, having guarded against this in the petition.

Conerwann, Ont., July 28.—While two Fort Covington boys were fishing at the head of Plum Island, at the mouth of the Salmon river, they discovered what looked like a htunan body in the rushes a short distance from the shore. They immedi- ately went to Dundee and told what they had seen. A coroner from Huntingdon was sent for and went to the place indb cated and found the body. It was brought ashore and it was found that the eyes, nose and part of the face were gone. The hands and feet were mutilated, but other. wise the body was in a good state of pre- servation. The corpse was dressed in black and around the neck was a bedcord, which was rotted away. The coroner did not consider an inquest necessary, but sug. gested that word be sent to the relatiees of the late P. Purcell of Fairfield, as in his opinion the body ivas his, Subsecie„ently some of the Purcell film* cae or and from the clothes and the fact that a piece was torn from tle skirt of the coat they tlang-fit that their long -lost felation had been discovered. ''r"letal Ma Purcell died in Nova Scotia en My 1, 1891. His corpse was enibsilnied SY a Halifax undertaker and brought to Feir. field for interment, the funeral ttiking place at Flanwean's Point on May 6. On the night of May 14 the grave was opened and the body removed. It was originally thought that the body was anchored in deep water in the river, but it could not be found though dragged and dived for by an expert. Should this have been the case and the body discovered on nun Island be that of Mr. Purcell it has lain at the bottom of the St. Lawrence these three years and only been releasee by the rotting of the cord which held it down. WELLMAN IS HEARD FROM But the Authenticity of the News is Doubted in London. DOM:row, July 30.—Carl•Siewes, the Nor- wegian Arctic enthusiast received a tele- gram from the captain of the Erling, a Norwegian sealer which arrived at the Island of Tromsoe, Finmark, Norway. The captain • said that near Amsterdam island in latitude 84 N. and longtitude 9, the Erliug spoke to the Ragnvald Jan, the steamer conveying the Wellman party to the edge of the pack ice.. The Ragnvald Jarl signalled: 'Please report nearest' touching place, All well on board Raga. vgd Jan, and full of hope." The Rags - veld Jul, the captain of the,.

These treaties aid net prevent deffee- ential trade relations beiwrbaccorded by Great Britain favor of the colonies, whereby the colonies would be given ex- clusive couimeeciel privilegee of entry on British markets, but they au prevent differential treatment of tariff questions by the colonies of Great Britain in favor of the mother land.

Nevertheless the colonial office had brought pressure to bear upon the Board of A.gri- oultere to get these restrictions removed. The Colonial Under Secretary had even in- sinuated that Canadian cattle had not been affected with the pleuro -pneumonia.
