NOTES AND COMMENTS
It is once more reported that the two
Houses of Congress may settle the dis-
pute over the coal tariff by a comprom-
ise under which Canadian coal will be
allowed to enter the United States free
of duty provided Canada will recip-
rocate.

Wheat harvesting in Manitoba has
well commenced. There is every reason
to believe that the entire crop will be
saved without damage by frost. In
Ontario also harvest prospects are good.
The outlook for a brisk fall trade is
exceedingly encouraging.

One-third of the seats in the new
Legislature have been protested- An
election by the people is no longer an
assurance of a seat in the House. It is
often but the beginning of a more ex-
pensive and prolonged contest in the
courts.

During the nine months ending 30th
of June last not quite 8,000 Canadians
armed the lines for the purpose of tak-
ing up their residence in the United
States. This is less by about 35,000
than the number recorded a couple of
years ago tor a like period. In a short
tune the exodus of Americans from the
Western States to our Northwestern
Territories will exceed the removals of
people from Old Canada to the Re -
pubic.

The California dried apricot crop this
year will reach the enormous total of
12,000 tons, or nearly double that of
any previous season. This is clue largely
to the failure of growers to ship any
fresh fruit east because of the railroad
blockade. California dealers are hold-
ing for ten cents a pound, but the East-
ern offers don't exceed seven cents.
The dried peach crop will also be much

"The muil
nicipel conneile both ha Ham -
ton and Peterboro celled thia year fog a
reduction in the number of licenses. In
the former case it was ordered that twenty
nine be cut off and M the latter that five
be given notice to quit. The local boards
of license commissioners, withwhom rested
the selection of the victims for the official
axe did not make the redaction called for
on May 1st, the end of the license year,
but postponed action for three months.
The consequence was that in Hamilton
twenty-nine hotel keepers were deprived
of their means of livelihood on less than a
week's notice, and in Teterboro five un-
fortunates were given six hours in which
to arrange for another calling. The com-
missioners knew nearly six months ago
that a certain number of licenses -Must be
refused this year. Why, then, did they
not give at least three menthe notice to
those who were to suffer in the interests
of temperance? The answer is simple and
direct : The Province was in the throes
of a general election in May, and, bad the
commissioners acted then, the Hon. J. M.
Gibson in Hamilton and Mr. Stratton in
Peterboro would have been deprived of
the assistance in the contest of the men
who were now cad aside. It is even said
by the Herald that some of those who have
lost their licenses in Hamilton were given
a distinct promise of renewal in return for
their support of a Minister and that now,
after havingfulfilled their part of the
contract, the other party refutes to make
good,his. It is time to and thia hypocrisy.
It is time to dissever the seared cause of
temperance from party polities. Isis time
to take from the Government of the day
a means of corruption more potent even
than fee -paid offices. And the only way
in which this can he done is by giving the
power of issuing of licenses to the muni-
cipal authorities- authorities that are
directly responsible to public opinion and
whit& can be called to account every year.'

The week following the election, Mr.
McLean, no doubt, chagrined at the
meagreness of his majority, in an article
in the Expositor, jumped upon the Con-
servative press of the riding, and with
fire in his eye, deliberately accused us
of lying about him. He even stated
that he had. brought the Seaforth Sun
to his marrow bones and would yet
call upon the others to prove their lies.
THE TImEs anxious to make reparation
asked Mr. McLean to specify the
1893 was $1,600,000. The value of like
articles brought a'n from Great Britain
was only $511,000. It is reasonable to
suppose that one American settler brings
more goods with him than one British-
er. But, after allowance is Made for
this, it would seem as it we are now
getting about as many immigrants from
over the border as we do from the
Mother Country.

It is claimed as a reason why Canada
should hesitate to annex Newfoundland,
that the colony has an indebtedness of
$6,000,000. This, however, is not a
serious odstacle when the attendant
circumstances are considered. The Pro-
vincial debt" of Newfoundland includes
obligations that in Ontario rest wholly
on the municipalities. But there is one
great obstacle in the way of admitting
the big island to the Confederation.
That is found in the rights which the
French possess on a portion of thecoast-
line. Until those rights have been
abolished Newfoundland had better be
allowed to stay out in the fog.

DASTARDLY INCENDIARISM.
A Colored Girl and an Infant Cremated
in a Burning Building.
CHATHAM, Out; Aug. 6. -Yesterday the
house of John Curtis, colored, corner of
Taylor avenue and the second concession
road, Chatham township, was found to be
on fire and before help could be secured
the house was reduced to ashes. A girl
named Lizzie Gaut, aged 13, and the in-
fant child of Mrs. Thompson, who was re-
siding with the Curtis family, were burned
to death.
About 4 o'clock members of the family
got up to put some stray cows out of the
garden and at that time everything was
right. About 6 o'clock Mrs. Munson, of
Detroit, daughter of Mr. Curtis, was
awakened by the smoke and discovered a
large bundle of straw in the room ablaze,
as though it had been pushed in through
the open window. She raised the alarm
mid attempted to save Lizzie Gant, but the
latter fell back into the flames and perish-
ed. The other members of the household

three weeks ago, that the Ontario Govern-
ment bad robbed the municipalities of
their due share of the licenae fund and
that they now only get in the proportion
of one dollar to three that they received
under the old act previous to 1875, and
that those who voted for McLean at the
recent election, yoted approval of that
"robbery"."
As to the packing of the convention,
he has nob denied it, and even used this
report, as was circulated by his own
party, to show his superior influeuce,and
onthat account claimed to be the proper
man to send to parliament As to the
licensing question, that is a matter in
dispute since he charged us with lying,
and even while we have proved our
charges against the government, we
cannot see wherein the discussion affects
Mr. McLean personally. He said we
had lied about himseli, and to be honor-
able, instead of acting the "snake," he
should specify the lies. Having possibly
forgotten some of our charges, we might
ask him again if he did not intercede
with certain patrons, whose political
.proclivities are very strong, to disrupr
the patron convention, assembled for
the purpose of bringing out a candidate?
Having boastingly charged us with lying
about him we again ask him to to specify

Judge Woods, of Perth in tendering
his resignation as a member of the
Stratford Collegiate Institute Board,
gives utterance to some thoughts on the
value of our hieher education which
should be everywhere read and consid-
ered. Complaint had arisen regarding
the cost of keeping up the Instatute,and
his honor pointed out that if this was to
be reduced some new plen must b

resort to fees to make the school eelf-

council he says :----
"The talk about the poo; being op-
pressed Is, in my opinion, pure nonsense,
if not worse. Unfortunately, we have few,

Disastrous Conflagration in Alton.
ALTON, Ont., Aug. 5.-A disastrous fire,
which at one time threatened to wipe out
the business portion • of this village, oc-
curred yesterday. The fire originated in
the blacksmith shop of Boggs & Rowcliffe,
carriage works. The alarm was rung and
the citizens turned out en masse, but as
there was a strong west wind blowing, it
was impossible to check the flames. The
whole structure was soon wrapped in
flames and spread rapidly to the adjacent
buildings, The carriage works of Barber
& Bro. was the next to fall, and the heat
from the two large buildings was so exces-
sive that the residence of Mt Samuel
Barber close by was left to its fate. Next
in line was the stable buildingsof Dr.
Algie which followed suit. The outbuild-
ings of the brick block known as the Algie
block were next in order. Nothing stood
between a whole street of wooden build-
ing and the fire but the said block and.
three or four hundred men and women
united spontaneously to defend it, and
succeeded after two hours hard fighting in
mastering the flames. The total loss will
reach about $3,000, only partially covered
by insurance. The two carriage shops
and Mr. Barber's residence are insured in
the Waterloo and aVellington Mutuals, and
Dr. Algie's property in the Gore. The
damage to the Algie block is not serious,
but the general opinion is that the iron-
clad shutters of that building not only
saved itself but the greater part of the
village from total destruction.

THE CHEESE INDUSTRY.
Its Great Growth in Canada and Its Pub-
lic Recognition.
There is no more siguilivane indication
of the extent of the tr n a ion from
wheat -growing to mixed terming, which
has so greatly contributed to the prosperity
of Ontario farmers than is afforded by the
phenomenal development of the cheese in-
dustry. It is barely a generation since the
first co-operative cheese factories were
started in this province. The great de-
velopment in cheese -manufacture is almost
entirely due to the factory system. In
1864 the two first cheese factortes of On:
eerie were worked near Norwich by Har-
vey Farrington and Andrew Smith. The
Farrington factory was the more extensive
and provided tt market for the milk of from
.3.30,to 140 cows. Harvey Farrington was
subsequently concerned in the establish-
ment of other factories in the province and
is fairly entitled to be regarded as the
pioneer of the system. In 1861 the
quantity of cheese made in the province
was 3,000,000 pounds. After the estab-
lishment of co -Operative factories each de-
cade showed a wonderful increase in the
production. In 1871 it was 16,000,000
poundsi
., in 1881 50,000,000, and n 1891,
82,000,000, a record of phenomenal and at
the same time steady grpwth never ap-
proached by any other Canadian industry.
This great change in the dairying industry
had unquestionably been greatly stimulat-
ed by the foundation of the Dairy Associ-
ation in 1867, since divided into the East-
ern and Western Dairymen's Associ-
ations.
With the marked improvement from year
to year in the quality of Canadian cheese
has sprung up an increasing demand for
this important article of consumption in
Great Britain. The abundance of the sup-
ply has in turn stimulated the demand and
as cheese has been exported in increasing
volume to England the consumption has
been greatly augmented. In 1866 the
population of Great Britain consumed
three pounds of cheese per head yearly. In
1891 the consumption had risen to six
pounds per head. The exportation of
Canadian cheese is almost entirely to the
United Kingdom and it is noteworthy that
as the Canadian export has increased the
shipments from the United States have fan news yet received is that regardipg ithe
len off. The Americans in 1832 shipped Emperor's"' rebuke of Li Hung Chang.
121,904,755 pounds to Great Britain -in Great doubt of the truth of this report is
1891 this had fallen to 71,104,253 pounds.
The total Canadian export of cheese has
increased from 974,735 pounds, valued at
$123,494 in 1866, to 118,270,052 pounds of
the value of $11,652,412 in 1892. • Of the
total shipment 117,703,193 pounds went to
the United Kingdom. According to the
British returns for 1892, more cheese was
imported into England from Canada than
from any other country.. The Dominion
supplied 40 per cent, of the total -British
import of cheese -the United States, the
next largest exporter, supplying 36 per
cent, for all foreigners in her borders. But all

cluding the British, will find much diffi-
culty in enforcing strict laws of neutrality.
It is virtually nectssary for China to pro-
vide herself with immense quantities of
war material, audit is already known that
she is willing to Day fabulous prices. It
is a fact she is busily intriguing in England,
Germany, Belgium and Italy for the pur-
chase of ships and ammunition and to en-
gage men. It is an almost open secret in
certain circles in London that she is mak-
ing tireless efforts to assemble a fleet in a
certain continental port from which it
could soon be despatched by an indirect
route to the seat of war. The name oa a
certain well-known ex -officer of the British
navy is whiapered about as commander of
the expedition. ait is argued ,that the fine
man-of-war Alaska, on which the Thames
Iron Company is putting the finishing
touches, can still be secured without vio-
the neutrality laws. The vessel was built
for a South American Republic which is too
Poor to complete the contract. It is also
believed China is offering enormous bribes
to certain South American States for the
purchase of warships not needed just now
by the present owners.

China and Japan must be carefully weighed
before its credibility can be estimated.
Even official announcements are open to
suspicion, especially those from Chinese
sources: The most important and obarnous
expressed in London, but its source makes
it entitled to more credence than anything
yet received from China. The correspon-
dent of the • Central News in 'lien-Tsin,
who has sent three despatches on the sub-
ject, is not only one of the most influential
foreigners in China, but also the clone per-
sonal friend of the great Viceroy whose
disgrace he describes. If the deprivation
of the highest honor, the order of the Yel-
low Jacket, meant that the veteran states-
man was deposed from power, it would
bode ill for China in the coming war and
says it implies merely a rebuke intended to
stimulate the Prime Minister to greater
efforts against the enemy. , Be suffered a
similar indignity twenty years ago, but
speedily regained his lost influence and
still greater power. The principal fear is,
perhaps that the young Emperor, who is
