Good Financing. --- Hon. Geo. E. Foster, finance minis- ter,in delivering his budget speech, again gave practical evidence of his fit- ness for that high and honorable posit- ion. There were some doubts, even among his warmest friends, regarding Lis physical fitness for the post of leader in the Commons. There were no doubts re the mental qualities; but ill health has more or less been a com- rade of the capable finance minister during recent months. It is cause for great gratification to all to learn of Mr. Foster's complete restoration to good health, and of his great success in the Budget speech, Never before did he equal this effort. Never were the facts relating to the national finances and trade more clearly and intelligently placed before the public. Never were the preachers of Blue Ruin, the oppos- ition leaders, so non-plussed, so help- less to make intelligent criticism. - • Tbe Latest News Mr. Alex.

The mat re- ductions in the tariff especially on sugar and other articles of consumption among the middle and poorer classes, have left millions in the people's pocket during these hat two years of depres- sion. With the marked and certain return of prosperity the people are now better able to meet the expenditures.

P., for South Huron, said in Parliament lately that "the Wilson Bill had done more for Canada than all that the Tory Govern- ment has done in seventeen years." Apropos of this, the Sarnia Canadian ot May 15th had the following : -"Wheat in Port Huron market on Wednesday last Was 65c a bushel; in Sarnia, 75 to 84, The Liberals are respectfully asked to figure out of this comparison the advantage which the Oanadien farmer would derive from the throwing down of the tariff well between the Canadian producer and the market of sixty x x Wheat made a rapid advance in this market, for $1.35 to $1.50 per eental, or a rise of 15 cents per cental. It is well knowu that wheat stooks have been and are scarce in this district and also through the Province, and about 40,000 to 50,000 bushels of American wheat have been imported for account of Ontario millers, and mure, it is ex- pected, will be brought in between now and the new crop, owing to theshorta.ge in the home supplies. Ivo doubt $1,50 per cental, or 90 cents per bushel, is as high or higher than any market on the continent on this account, yet wheat is excited and higher all over. x x x Farmers are washing their sheep and preparing the wool for market. Some do not bother washing the wool, think- ing that they make nearly as much by taking the lower price for the greater weight. Those who advocate washing say it is good for the shetp, aside from the higher price it ensures for the wool. An intelligent farmer further assured us recently that wool washed on the sheep was stronger and better than wool washed after being clipped, and his reason for this belief is that during the few days allowed for drying after the sheep have been -washed, a certain amount of strength and life goes back into the wool that is entirely lost by the other m-ethod. x x x 13-1-tivay of defending the resignation of,.Mr. Wood as the retresentative in the Ontario Legislature for Brant, and his appointment to the vacant registr- arship in that county, the 13rantforcl,_ Expositor says :-"Some of our readers may share the Expositor's views in re- gard to the unevisdom of appointing members of parliament to public office, but there are none but are free to con- fess that Mr. Wood will make one of the best registrars Ontario has ever had,and that so long as an objectionable practice is continued, no man is more deserving of any expression of good will his party can give him, or is less likely to have been swayed by others than the late member for North Brant." For so able and so conscientious a man as the editor of the Expositor, this is a desperately weak apology for a political act that he in his inner conscience can- not approve. But it is the best that he or anybody else can do in the matter. Just think of the plea that Mr. Wood will make one of the best registrars Ontario has ever had. What does that amount to ? Bridget cnce said to her mistress. "Sure ma'am, this is the best baby ye ever had ; he'll sit in his chair the whole day long and never a word out of him so long as ye feed him all he wants." The qualification of a good registrar is little if anything more than to sit in the position and take in - fees, while some Bridget does the work. What has Mr. Wood ever sacrificed in his political life and relations to make him so deserving of the good will of his party? He never had to fight for the representation of his constituency. It was always a safe seat and a sure thing for him without much effort or expense. But it ia the way things go in this pro- vince.

Fourteen thousand three hundred and sixty three patients were last year treated in hospitals receiving aid from the Ontario Government, and the average cost of treatment was nearly ninety-four centsper day. The project of bridging the Detroit River at Windsor received the assent of the Dominion railway committee on Thursday. Before the work can be undertaken the Washington authorities must give their assent.

Cattle shippers in Montreal say that there have been a large increase in number of lump -jaw cattle, which have been stopped on their way to England.

The first Manitoba crop report for the season will be issued on June 1. It will show that the increased acre- age this year is xnuch larger than the average increase of past years. In fact farmers in some parts of the Province will find a difficulty in harvesting the grain if the crop is large.

The Manitoba School question, at one time threatened open disrup- tion between the two raves, is vir- tually settled. It is stated on reli- able authority that the settlement ts in the main due to the good offices of Lord. Aberdeen, between whom, Sir A. P. Caron (Postmaster -Gener- al,) Monsigneur Langevin (Archbis- hop of St Boniface), and, Monsigneur Duhamel, of Ottawa, a meeting was held last week. On this occasion preliminaries were settled and this will no doubt be approved of at an- other meeting, next week, at which Premier Greenway and Attorney - General Sifton, of Manitoba, will be present. As a result the Manitoba Govern- ment will put certain amendments to the school law at the next session of its Legislature, on June 13. These amendments will provide that the. Government retains control of the inspeetion of the schools and. its ex- penditure, but at the same time a Catholic school system will be inaug- urated, providing Catholic schools with the same curriculum as the Public schools, but with the addition of half an hour's Catholic religious instruction. Three men will be sel- ected. by the clergy to form a Catho- lic school board. The remedial order will be withdrawn. Ottawa, May 21. -Sir Adolphe Caron was asked to -day as to the trtith of a story published that he was negotiating between Lord Aber- deen and Archbishop Langevin and Archbishop Duna:mei, of Ottawa, with a view of settling the school difficulty. He replied that there was nothing in it. It was a pure invention. Archbishop Langevin denied when last in Ottawa having given rise to the report. The vacency caused by the death of Judge Toms has given rise to some talk as to who will likely be his successor, but a recent act of parliament makes it possible that no successor may ;be ap- pointed, The act in question provides.: "No Junior Judge shall be appointed in any district, county, or union of counties, unless the population ehall exceed 80,000." As the population of Huron is not as large as this, it may happen that the place shall remain vacant. If Judge Doyle goes up to the Senior Judgeship then no junior judge would be appoint- ed. But the work may be greater than one judge can discharge, and Judge Doyle may stay in his present position. In this eyent the Dominion Goveia- meat would be called upon to appoint a Senior judge. Among the names that have been mentioned for this pos- ition are those of Messrs. E. Champion, Goderich, and Mr. Dickinson, Wing - ham. Always avoid harsh purgative pills:.

Carter'e Little Liver — ----- - Earthquakes in Italy, • -- — The population of Florence was thrown into a state of panic on Sat- urday night by a series of earth- quakes that did much damage. People who were in their houses when the first shock came ran terror stricken into the streets, and their wild cries could be heard. every- where. The shocks were so violent that houses swayed like ships in a seaway, and in a number of cases roofs tell in, injuring persons who had not sought safety in flight. The -wildest scenes were at the the- aters, where perforthances were go- ing on as usual. The first shock caused those in the audience to look wonderingly at each other. Then the earth swayed, amid shouts of "Earthquake!" the crowd made wild rushes for the exits. Mad with ter- ror, no respect .was shown for the women, weak or aged, and in the rush. naany were badly hurt. Upon reaching the streets the crowds from the theaters met those who,fled.from their dwellings, and the excitement that ensued made the confusion worse confounded. At Grassina, suburb of Florence, the shocks were very -Violent, The extent of the earth 'movement may be judged from the fa that that a loaded omnibus was overturned. Twelve residents of Grassina, were hurt. A number of persons refused. to re-enter their houses during the night. They re- mained on the streets until after daylight next morning. Many of them took shelter in vehicles. After the first severe shocks there were repeated lighter ones. The seismic disturbances were felt at Lucca, Pontedera and generally ,throughout Tuscandy. The centre of the movement was at Florence, -where for many years nothing simil- ar has occurred. Around Florence' a number of houses were destroyed and four per- sons killed. At the time of sending this despatch full details are wanting but it is believed that there has been a considerable number of lives lost. As forther reports of the earth- quake come to hand, the extent of the disaster widens. At Lappagi, a village near Grassina, no less than 40 houses were thrown froin their fortifications and completely wreck- ed. An investigation was made Sunday by the municipal authorities of -Florence, who estinaated that 3, 000 houses were damaged. Shocks were felt at Seina, Pisa, Pilacentia and Bolognia concurrent with those in this city. brother's removal. 13tit utore than this, the Crown, is endeavoring to show that Harry Hymns made a pro- position to his future wife's solicitor that certain moneys belonging to Miss Wells, the beneficiary of young Wells' insurance policy, should be invested through Harry Hyams, and that in fact those moneys should be banded over to him. Thus, then, if the CPONVII'S theory is true, there was at once established a sufficient motive for the removal of young Wells. Further, it is not denied that the Hyams largely influenced young Wells to place this large amount of naoney upon his life, although appar- ently they were not going to benefit by it, only indirectly, through the marriage with the beneficiary of the $30,000 life policy. .In regard to Wells' death it may be stated that on the :16t1i January, 1893, he was found dead in the ware- house on Colborne street, Toronto, rented. by the prisoners. The account given by the. -I-Iyams of the death was that a heavy weight attached to a hook in the elevator shaft had come off and dropped on to the de- ceased and crushed his skull. This was accepted as the true cause of death, poad the insurance money was duly paid to the deceased man's sis- ter, .And considerably over a year elapsed before there was any suspic- ion of foul play, and we find now the Hyams only placed on trial for the murder two years and four months after youngWells' death. It appears a man named 33. D. Humphrey sus- pected all along, or had some posit- ive knowledge that the Hyams in some way were connected with their brother-in-law's death. Then one Sullivan had borrowed money from the Hyams and the latter were pressing for the return of it, and. Sullivan threatened to go to Hum- phrey and open out on the Hyams. From these whisperings the Crown got hold of the 'suspicions, and atter a searching investigation by detect- ives on the quiet, they got hold of a sufficient clew after two years to have the Hyams arrested for the murder of Wells. It has been shown in evidence that spots resembling blood were seen on one of the prison- er's trousers on the day of -Wells' death by a cabman in Toronto. A servant of the Hyams' also testifies to washing blood stains out of one of the prisoner's trousers and sending them to be re -dyed. In further evidencelit is attested that it was imo possible for the weight to get off when the elevator was either going up or down, and if the weight came off some one removed it for a pur- pose. These are some of the princip- al points which the Crown has offere d in circumstantial evidence Inc the murder theory. Theevidence for the Crown is all in, and that for the defence is being presented. The Wells' Murder -Trial. The Hyams trial, now in progress in Toronto, is one of the most not- able in the annals of crime in this country, if the Crown hypothesis is right, that Wells, the deceased,came to his death at the hands of the Hyams. On general principles the crane (if it was a crime) was similar to the Hendershott tragedy, near Ste. Thomas, but the former was planned with greater cunning and executed with more consummate skill. The Hendershott and Welter plot to in- sure the younger Hendershott, pay for the policies and. take the benefic- iaries out an favor of one of them- selves, was of itself very suspicious. But the manner of getting rid of their victim showed neither ability not ingenuity, and. as a consequence they were easily detected. The Hyams have played a rnuch more skilful game, if they are really the murderers of young Wells. The policies were not taken out in favor of either of the prisoners, nor did they pay the premiums on young Wells' policies'but he paid theui himself • and his sister was the bene- ficiary. ' Now, as far as this is con- cerned, there appears to be no appar- entmotiveVor theHyams committing the crime. But, on the theory of the Crown, they appear to have been far-seeing, for at the thne; or about the time that the prisoners induced young Wells to place this heavy in- surance on his life, one of theoa was paying his addresses to the deceas- ed's sister, and there was every chance that Hyams' suit would be accepted, and that Miss Wells would. become Mrs. Hyams'and this mar- riage actually followed the death of young Wells, and the curious relat- ionships thus established have furn- ished the most highly -wrought scenes in the tragedy. By marriage, it is contended, Hyenas expected to enjoy the Wilts of his `wife's There should be some restriction on the cutting of small timber on the Crown lands of Ontario. At present many lumberman slash down everything that comes in their way, some Ameri- can operatives even going so far as to cut young pines for shipment to the States for bean poles. This shameful waste of material that will increase enormously in value if left to reach maturity ought to be stopped. 11 the Mowat Goveroment is not prepared to adopt a policy for re -afforesting Ontario it should at least prevent the prema- ture consumption of timber already in existence. -News.

It has been a great health restorer to me and I do swear be it, 1 atn a different. man to what I was ten years ago when it was expected 1 would be in the asylum, but now I am in perfect robust health and A It was the 13. B. B. that did it. I Elam ed for five or six years from conetipation, emnetimes so severely that I went out of my mind. I tried various dootors, both in the country apd in the city, and took, medicines too numerous to name, but )e , everything failed to have the desired ef- feet. When I used Burdock Blood Bit- ten, however, it succeeded beyond" expea. tations requiring only two bottles to mire me. To make it atilt more certain that B. B. B. is the real aura for Constipation, I may say that some two years after.. ward I felt the symptoms returning and I took one bottle more, and from that time to this present day, (oyer eight years) I have never had any return of the disease. I never knew any medicine to work soe well. It does not seem to be a mere re- y liever but a sure and certain oure, as I can .certify to, for hundreds of dollars' worth of medicine and: advice failed to do me 4 any good, but three dollars worth of B. B. B. made a permanent cure that has given me years of health and comfort. Yours truly. 1 Toronto. C. L. KILMER.
