• Revising the Voters' Lists.
The Renising officers for the ridings
of South Huron and North Middleeex,
have completed their first revision of
the voters lists, which, in accordance
with the ace, have been posted in the
varioua postofficee throughout the
Ridings, in niueimpal buildings, and in
the einem. Copies of the old lists of
1891, also lists containing the names of
Persons who have been added from the
assessment rolls and by declaration, and
the names of persons removed, have
been sent out. The members of com-
mittees ahould without delay compare
the list of "names to be removed" with
the original list so as to see whether the
names of any persons yet remain on the
original list which should not be there,
and also to examine the list entitled
"names to be added," with the view of
learning if the names of persons proper-
ly qualified to appear thereon have been
entered, or if any names have been
omitted, which are entitled to be put on
this list. After a thertugh revision of
these lists all the committees in each
municipality should meet together at
any early date to compare note, mak-
ing up a list of those whom they con -
eider should be removed as not being
qualified, also a list of those who may
have been omitted or who have failed
to make their declaration, but who are
qualified to vote. These lists have to
be sent to the Judge a clear two wteeers
before the time for holdiesefica final
courts, and copies haveesalso to be sent
_a fortnight bee to the parties
to whoern-55ctions are made. It
ratenetedirso be borne in mind that all
ledersons not already on the lists, and
and. who are desirous of having their
names put on, must appear personally
at these courts and satisfy the Judge
of their right to be put on as voters.
It will:thus be seen that the work of
revision in connection with these lista is
a very important one. Every person
should, therefore, feel it to be his
special duty to be vigilant and energetic
during the next few weeks for on the
lists now being prepared the next gen-
eral election will be fought.

Russia and Britain have more' antago-
nistic interests than any other two
in Europe, Both are reaching out
after the territories lying along the
northern frontier of India; each fears
to trust the other in the Dardanelles,
and both are competitors for trade and
dominion in the Pacific. Ie is posaible
that these powers may adjust their
rival claims and become friends, but it
is rauch more probable that the talk
of an Anglo -Russian alliance is merely
intended to scarce Germany and France
into the adoption of a less aggeessive
course in Africa, where the great
odonizer is endeavoring to build up a
third colonial empire, and is hampered
in so doing by French and German in-
fluence.

Elousekeepers grumble on account of
the high price of bread, as compared
with the low price of wheat and flour.
Good our, wholesale, can be bought
for 81.50 per 100 pounds, and 100
pounds of flour will make, say, 130
pounds of bread, which at five -cents a
two -pound loaf, comes to $8.55, or a
profit of 116 per cent. But President
C4ompers, of the American Federation

The tariff in Canada is the backbone
of the commercial • system. No one
knows whore the Opposition stand on
this yital issue. They have fluctuated
from one thing to another as follows :
1882 -Revenue Tariff,
1886 -Sufficient Protection.
1887 -Commercial Union.
1888-Unrestrictecl Remprocity,
1891 -Take Down the Duties.
1893 -Low Tariff and Reciproeity.

There can be no Dominion general
election before June if they are to be
as they unquestionably will be, held
on the revised voters' lists. The statute
fixes Feb. 28 as the last day for sending
the finally revised lists to the Clerk of
the Crown in Chancery. Re then for-
wards them to the Queen's printer to be
set up in type. This will take several
weeks at least. The setting no of
names in type -French names, German
names, e Scandinavian, English, Irish,
and Scotch names -is a slow job, Then
the Queen's printer must send every
revising barrister a copy of the printed
lists for correction of errors. This en-
sures considerable delay, especially as
some of the lists w111 take two weeks
going and coming in the mails, so that
experience eustifies the clerk of the
Crown in Chancery in saying that three
months will elapse between final revis-
ion and ready for use.

It is not improbable that the Legis-
lature may not meet till some, or all, of
the protested elections are decided.
The court has only given eotic e of one
election trial, and that is ior December
17. Usually thirty days elapses from
the date of the Judge's giving notice
and for the trial as fined. This will
bring the election trials on about the
last of December Or first of January.
The hearings will occupy about two
weeks or perhaps more. Thus it
will be nearly February before all are
completed. Eight days are allowed
after gazetting the Ending of the court
for the lodging of an appeal. On ex-
piry of these eight days the writs are
usutlly issued, and thirty days there-
after an election takes place. After the
smoke has cleared away the House will
assemble, which would not be until the
middle of March or perhaps, the begin-
ning of April.

Some of the most recent United
States statistics are instructive. From
No. 3 series, 1894-95, Summary State-
ment of the imperts and exports of the
United States, the following facts with
regard to the cattle trade are shown :
For year ending June 30th, 1894, num-
ber of cattle exported, 359,278 ; 'mute,
833,461,992 '• of which 02,345,235
went to Great Britain ; quantity of freeli
beef exported, 193,891,824 pounds ;
liable, $16,700,163 ; of which $16,659,-
814 went to Great Britain. For nine
months ending September 30, 1894
number of sheep exported, 162,891 ;
value, $1.,038,053 ; of which $79,988
went to Great Britain and $120,652 to
British North Amenca• If the 'United
States had to find a market in Great
13ritain for about fifty million dollars'
worth of cattle and sheep, it ie very
evident that Canada sheltid devote its
best energies towards improving and
cheapening its transportation connec-
tions with the 'United Kingdom, in-
stead of wasting them in useless efforts
to obtain free access to the United
States markets, where there is so large
a surplus for export, When the St.
Lawrence canal enlargements are com-
pleted, handy, moderate capacity pro-
pellers will be able to reach our lake
ports and receive our beef and mutton
and pork in cold storage for direct ship.

TORONTO BOODLING INQUIRY.

S5,000 for Ilis Vote.
TORONTO, Nov. 28. -The inquiry into
municipal contracts was resumed yester-
day before County Judge McDougall. The
most important evidence elicited was that
from ex-Ald. J. E. Verret, who, it will be
remembered, was declared by Contractor
Guelich, of Detroit, to have approached
him in Headquarters saloon a few hours
before the council was going to vote on
the paving contract for which Guelich
was tendering, and told Guelich that Ms
contract could only go through if Guelich
paid over 315,000.
Mr. Verral absolutely denied the truth
of this statement, bpt declared, on the con-
trary, that on the day of the vote ex-Ald.
Harry Piper 'met him in Evans' saloon,
near the city hall, and showed him a letter
signed by Gen. Robertson, a partner of
Guelich in Detroit, which virtually pro-
• mised him 35,000 for his vote in the coun-
cil. The words of the letter, so far as he
could recollect, on the subject were: "All
'Verral has been our friend throughout,
and if the contract passes the council all'
right he is to receive 35,000."
Ex-Ald. Stewart, who resigned his seat
in the council a week or two ago on ac-
count of statements in Judge McDougall's
interim report, announces his intention of
running for the council again at the im-
pending municipal elections.
MR. BLAKE'S PLANS.
That He is Soon to Retire from British
Politics is Incorrect.
LONDON, Nov. 28. -The cable sent to the
New York papers, stating that Hon. Ed-
ward Blake would retire from British
politics after the uext general election, is
quite incorrect. Mr. Blake's plans, ac-
cording to his utterances at South Long-
ford ten days ago, were cabled last
week. This cable stated that Mr. Blake
then said that he would stand for the new
Parliament if he again was nominated for
Longford. Howeyer, next session he
wished more freedom to visit his family in
Canada. There ie no question of retire-
ment at present.
Western Grain Dealers Boycott the East.
Wienteree, Nov. 28. -As a result of the
recent controversy between the western
and eastern grain dealers regarding the
mixing of wheat in transit the western
- dealers have decided to boycott the eastern
men altogether. Several orders received
yesterday from Toronto and Montreal
buyers were ignored. Henceforth all
grain shipped from here will go to New
York direct instead of via Toronto or
Moutreal. A member of the Winnipeg
grain exchange states that hitherto west-
ern shippers have been fleeced unmerci-
fully by eastern buyers in various ways.
Consignments of grain would be refused
for trivial reasons or no reasons at all.
A Hamilton Woman Poisoned.
HAMILTON, Nov. 28. -Mrs. Charles Pla-

and she may die. The stuff was used by
Mr. Plater in his business and whether
Mrs. Plater took it with suicidal intent
cannot be stated. • ter domestic relations

ZngUsl Interest'resented to Lovell

LONDIne, Nov. 27. -Lord Ripon, colonial
secretary, received yesterday a deputation
from the chamber of coramerce and the
alliedsection known as the Society of
Anthers, the Copyright Associatiou and
the Print Sellers' .Association.
Sir Albert Kays Rollit, President of the
assoeiated chambers of commerce, intro-
duced the deputation- and stated its busi-
ness. After denying that he Was hostile
to Canadiau interests in general be opened
in the deputation's behalf a rather laot
attack or Canada's attitude to the copy-
right question. He might talk strongly,
he said, because he felt strongly. He
knew that in the copyright; question Cana-
da violated the established principles on
Which the copyright law of the empire
had rested hitherto. If the constitution
in question should be passed it would cre-
ate a precedent -Mime effect would be
almost unlimite:l.
Mr. Underdown, Q,C., described Sir
John Thompson's demands in the matter

which the colonies had agreed prior to its
adoption might also oomplain, in view of
the 2,000,000 French-speaking Ca,nadians.
Walter Besant said: The question is 0
most serious one for authors. The Ameri-
can Act has already borne great fruits for
American authors, who have shown in-
creased vitality and strength since they
have been able to compete on fair terms
with English writers. Moreover, when
the, new conditions become thoroughly
established the English authors will find
their best audience in the United States.
However, if Canada passes a separate AM,
the old, miserable game of cheap reprints,
yieing with others,will begin again,
The American Act will be torn to
pieces and piracy will be resumed. Then
American authors will be compelled to
fall back on the unfair conditions preced-
ing 1891. Worse still, all the old bitter-
ness will °erne back and the reprisals will
be reyivee." .
Lord Ripon said he intended to discuss
the matter fully with Sir John Thompson,
the Canadian Premier, at his first oppor-
tunity, but he was anxious to learn first
the opinion Of .euch lacetiee-e 'he, lead thee
..leeeneteeeesete-i•eceiving. The desires of one
of the great colonies were entitled to his
most serious consideration. On the other
hand, the interests represented by the de-
putation could not be slighted. He pro-
mised the whole subject his most careful
attention.
WANT THE P. P. A. SUPPRESSED.
The Quebec Legislature to be Petitioned
to This Effect.
MONTREAL, Nov, 28. -The Quebec Legis-
lature is to be asked to suppress the Pro'.
testant Protective Association and the
numerous leagues and alliances of a simi-
lar nature in the province of Quebec.
A movement which has the authorizes
tion of the high clerical authorities in the
Roman Catholic church has been inaugur-
ated in Montreal with this object in view,
and a lively agitation is likely to result.
Petitions are now being signed here and
will be forwarded to the Legislature now
in session. The petitions set forth that
such societies as the P. P. A. are danger-
ous to the public' peace and harmony, that
they arrogate to themselves the preroga-
tive of the Legislature and sow discord and
hatred between the different sections of
the community. Their suppression is
therefore asked.
CHILDREN FATALLY BURNED.
Sad Circumstances Attending a Sunnidale
Township Fire,
NEW Low= Ont., Nov. 27. -The dwell-
ing house of Mr. Jas. Scott, Sutmidale
township, was burned to the ground. Mr.
and Mrs. Scott left the house to look after
the farm stock in a beim 150 yards from
the dwelling. They were absent about'
twenty minutes when they discovered the
dwelling on fire. Mr. Scott rushed into
the burning building and carried out his
two children, aged 1 and 2 years. Both
v -ere badly burned and died next morning.
hire is supposed to have been caused by a
lamp exploding or being upset by the
children, as the lamp was left burning
low and the children in bed when Mr. and
