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. =mese °EMCEE'S FINAL COURTS..

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. x et 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 •,a Labor, says there is a profit of T50 per cent. on bread at the present price. Speaking lately in New York on the • exiiiting high price of the product, as compared With the cheapness of flour, Xie said: "I know that a loaf of bread Which aote costs flee tents at the groceries can be made and sold to a re- tailer at tete and one ono -eighth cents • and still leave a big profit for the baker.

X X x Although the expenditure of the Quebee Government has been cut down by nearly half a million. dollars in two years, the annual deficit is still in the neighborhood of a million and a quarter. Nothing but the most vigorous prun- ing can save the sister Province from Utter bankruptcy. x x x 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. 1894 -Freedom of Trade.

A h an dful of I asteroble inchurches ; the mass simply make it a day for squirrel -shooting, or for dreary loitering about the streets, The proper thing to do would be to choose some Sunday in November for Thanksgiving Day - the Government simply recommending the date. The suggestion would be generally followed and the Sabbath thanksgiving services would be largely attended." x x x After the bye -elections the Mowat Government will occupy a position which though not entirely comfortable to its merabers tvnill„3-gt-neets'eeeIa'eal from standpoint.

There was a danger that Ontario's advantages would be so many dice to be thrown by the two parties in a raffle for the Patron vote. That daeger exists no longer. The Government is weak enough to gladly accept the suggestions of agricul- tural wisdom, and strong enough to laugh to laugh at the commands of agricultural folly. x 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. x x 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. x x x 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. merit • to European ports.

The lifeless body of Mr. LaBonte, dent- ist, was found at the foot of the stairs lead- ing up to his rooms in Three Rivers on Saturday. He had evidently been killed by falling down the long flight in the night.

TORONTO BOODLING INQUIRY. nr,x-e. ee n easees ‘Sitrra/asFaa-P„romlsed.,, 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- ter, of Crooks street, yesterday drank a compound mixture containing a quantity of arsenic and although Dr. Philp was called immediately and prevented the wo- man's death, her condition is still critical 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 are all that could be desired and no reason .an be assigned for the woman's rash act. She lives happily with her husband and has a family of small children. The Premier's Movements.

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.

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.

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.
