Whatever the cause may be, whether the people a Ontario have more umiley Or less sense than they had in other days, the effect, or rather the fact, is that Osgoode Hall is beginningto take on the characteristics of a deserted lege. Two years ago an average of fourteen writs were issued daily at osgoodelHall. Now the average %be- tween four and six writs per day. The litigation to -day is practically not more than half thelitigation two years ago. People are beginuing, to learn that ten litigants are impoverished for every suitor who is enriched at Osgoode Hall, There is an ever grow- ing tendency tosettle disputes without an appeal to the courts.

The fernier as well as the manufac- turer suffers from the injustiee of the Orand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific Railway. What could be more unjust than the system under which s'imeri- can corn is hauled from Nebraska to Halifax for nine cents per hundred, while the rate for Canadian corn fvom Kent county to Halifax is eighteen cents per hundred I' There is no leek •of proof as to the real i t y of t he grievance which afflicts Canadian prodeeers, n- dustrial and Agricultural. The enor- mous difference in freight rates upon iron in favor of Pennsylvania and against Ontario was referred to the other day. Pablic opinion in Canada will not condemn Manager Hays even if he would carry regard forpublic safety to such an extent as to make total ab- stinence a condition of employment as engine man or train man on the Grand Trunk Railway. No one who has travelled recently on the Grand Trunk can deny that the service has been im- proved. General Manager Hays is entitledto credit for this improvement. There have been instances on the Grand Trunk and other railways whereliveshave been saerificed throegh dranken engineer or a drunken con- ductor. That being the case, who can blame Mr. Hays for insisting that the lives of passengers shall be protected hysom ething more substantial than the fine line which marks the difference between the man who has got enough and the man who takes too muchliquor's As for the crowding out of Canadians, it is to be sincerely hoped that General ' Manager Hays will realize that such a policy is unnecessary and improper. As an American, Mr. Hays knows what a howl there would be in the United States if an English manager were to freeze out Auieriean citizens and fill their places with Englishmen. Canadians are sensible enough to un- derstand that Mr. Hays must have some liberty of choice. His reputation as a railway man is at stake, and he trout be surrounded by men who will willingly and intelligently carry out bis orders. Beyond that Mr. Hays should not go, and it will pay neither him nor the Grand Trunk Railway to go in for the Wholesale displacement of Canadians by Americans. . _ . . A Pa,ssaclena, Cal., dispatch says: • Forest fires are raging on the moun- tains. A strip twenty miles long and from. two to five miles wide had /seen burned out. A huge fire is now burn- ing in, San Gabriel canon. The Ontario Government has insti- tuted a change in the prison system of the Province. The Mercer and Pene- tanguishene reformatories • will be brought diaeetly under the control of the Ontario inspector, and in future Mr. James Noxon, inspector of the Central prison, will have a close su- pervision over these institutions and be known as inspector of prisons. At Dent, a village three miles south- west of Merlin,Satuthay night, Peters' mill was blown up by a boiler ex- plosion, and Solomon Gray, a mill as- sistant, was killed, and the proprietor, George Peters, was badly injured. The 'building was completely wrecked. Gray was found 25 yards from the mill terribly mangled, but stillalive. Peters will recover. The two men were work- ing together in the mill, and it is supposed that they allowed the water in the boiler to run too low. Gray leaves a wife and three children. • Dr. Bryce, secretary of the provin- • cial Board of Health, bas examined the water supply of Woodstock, and itrids it pure.

Mr. Frederick Parker, formerly of Toronto, has been fatally shot at Cache Bay, a lumbering village about 30 milesfrom Sturgeon Falls. He was about 40 years of.age and unmarried. No particulars are given. John Forrest, a well known fanner, of North Oxford, died suddenly at his home on Tuesday. He was around do- ing his work as usual in the morning, bat at noon was taken suddenly ill, and passed away at 7 o'clock. ,A middle-aged Englishman, named Wm. Nicholson, immarried, mid em- ployed on the T. H. and B., spur line at Hamilton, was fatally injured on Thursday evening by being hit on the side by the big scoop of the steam shovel. Milburn, sen., of Peabody, Sul- livan Township, Grey county, was one of Stephenson's first assistants, and helped to build the first engine in Great Britain This engine was named "The Rocket," and ran between Bir- mingham and Liverpool.

R. liner "Atha- basca," says : "I used Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder for cold in the head. It is very effective, easy to apply, mild and pleasant. For catarrh it has no equal.

Wet feet do not directly make the germs of consumption appear in the lungs; but they do cause coughs and colds and inflam- mation of the throat and lungs; weaken the whole system. In this condition the germs of consumption find just the soil in which to work.

D AU Depends en Wind Action the Other Employee of the Road Take-.& Confer. euee at elontreal To -Day Will Likely Settle the Matter One Way or the Other -Fregght Baying at Winntpeg Tait Goes to New York. It was rumored last night that the C. P. R. strike was over, an agreement ,having been come to at Montreal be- tween the railway and the men to sub- mit the difficulty t� arbitration. The story, however, was not confirmed. Supt. Leonard in the evening tele- phoned from Montreal to Asst. Supt. Williams at Toronto that the outlook was brighter than ever as far as the road was concerned, and, that the trouble was practically over. Only an hour later a. striker stated that the prospects for the men were never better. Thus it is seen that the two parties to the difileulty look a.t the situation from very different standpoints. Both the corporation and their employes seem assured of victory. The men who are out are evidently depending on some card they have yet to play. In reply to a question yes- terday as to Wilt ther they thought the conductors, engineers, firemen and train, men would go on strike, if called upon, a striker observed : "We know that if necessity arises we have them. Is that positive enough?" The 0. & Q. division is in good work- ing order, but the blockade continues between North Bay and Winnipeg. Twenty "scabs" who were sent west from North Bay have all returned, having been driven from their posts by the inhabitants.

The Canadian Pacific people are so well satisfied with the situation that Mr. Tait will leave to -morrow night for New York to attend the American Railway Association meeting.

As a mat- ter of fact, however, the impartial ob- server cannot help seeing that the strikers are gradually losing- ground, and even those who favor the cause of the telegraphers T redict that they will lose the battle Ninless the other trainmen by a sympathetic strike come to their assistance. This is, no doubt, what the strike leaders are counting on. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company is now‘not only moving passenger trains, but is able to ease the pressure off a little by moving occasional freight trains. Tele- graphic communication has been re- stored with several more points, which ineans that operators must be at work. The restoration of communication is siding the grain men to straighten their counties grain trade, and, while things generally are still in a mud- dle, the situation is not so serious. Everything depends on the conference at Montreal to -morrow. If the train- men go out the chances are all in favor of the strikers winning, but if the company can induce the men on the other departments of the service to remain at their posts the telegraph- ers will be likely to lose the day. Such a forecast may not be correct, but it is aceording to the best judgment of impartial observettion of the situa- tion. Dxtorz 2'Hn ',SCABS."
