NOTES AND COMMENTS.
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.

Figures were published t he other day
showing how the Canadian railways
in their freight rates discriminate
against the Canadian manufacturer.
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.

OF DR. AGNEW'S CATARRHAL
POWDER FOR CATARRH AND
COLE THE HEAD HE
SAYS IT IS PEERLESS.
Mr. John McEdwards, the genial
purser of the 0. P. 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. I have tested nearly every
catarrh cure inade, and found none to
compare with it: I recommend it

consumption. Wet feet do
not directly make the germs
of consumption appear in the
lungs; but they do cause
coughs and colds and inflam-

weaken the whole system. In
this condition the germs of
consumption find just the soil
in which to work.

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 force of
constables who were sent noeth from
Montreal and Toronto are evidently
not doing, effective work. A fresh
batch of police and op:Tators was d:,-
spatched to North Day yesterday.

can be no doubt that the operators
are in desperate straits, and 1£ they
do not get help within the next 24
hours it will be all up with them. 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. In the
strikers' camp they declare the situa-
tion is still unchanged, yet they com-
plain that they have not had a fair
show from the public. Mr. Pierson
has left the city and Mr. Powell can-
not be seen, although it is believed he
is in the city.

the Operators sena
Winnipeg, Oct. 5. -(Special.) -The
leaders of the telegraphersstrike at
this point profess to be quite as con-
fident of winning as ever. 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.
