THIMSDA.Y, APRIL 1.3th, 1899 NOTES AND COMMENTS, Loudon people are surely slow to be convinced. Thatcitywill soonbelooked upon as a desirable spot for criminals to receive their trial. Emerson, who shot the theater Manager was made a hero and naartyr by London citizens. Now Mariam Brown, the peg -leg tramp, who has been convicted for the mime of shooting policeman Toohey, is held up as a subject for pity, and a petition is being circulated. for his re- prieve. -I- e Tho late Registrar of Huron County passed to his eternal reward some months ago. The (ace has since been in charge of assistants who receive a yearly salary of a few hnnclred don r WS: ThSre ie as yet no intimation of an appointment to Ali tile vacancy. The question a.rises : If the office can be ran for nearly half a year by salaried clerks, why appoint a Registrar at a salary of several thons- ancl dollars ? + + + The Postmaster-GeneraI has been uded by the Prime Minister for his assistance in procuring penny postage ross the ocean. It was supposed that the credit of this measure was due to Mr. Ilenneker Heaton, who has for ao many years striven by speeches, pamphlets, letters to the newspapers and articles in the leading magazines to bring it about,but Sir Wilfrid would have us believe it was Mr. Mulock whose sudden and powerful endeavors overcame at one swoop the inertia of an empire in this matter. While we ppreciate the penny postage, Mrs Mulock would fill a want in this see - time if he were to re-establish the mail 'route between Exeter and Dashwood, taken off when the Postmaster Gen- eral commenced his policy of economy. ▪ x x ,•One of the grounds upon which the Liberals of South Perth base their protest against the election of Nelson 1onteith, is the issuance of the writ tiring the sessions of the Legislature, contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided; at the same time they claim the seat for Mr. Stock. There is a good deal of inconsistency this. One funny thing is, the Lib- er-glealLadall to do with issuing the writ, and shrink' hane gone about the 'Ssatter according to laiv."• If they are noran t of their own laws it is time hey stepped down and out. The ,rion- ervatives should not be put to annoy- tnce and expense for such foolish er- pre.. Another amusing phase of the oaern‘ent is that they claim a seat for fr. Stock in connection with an elec- *on that was held contrary to law, hua holding that Mr. Stock is eligible o occupy • a boneh which it is illegal r Mr. Monteith to hold. The man- ers are somewhat muddled. •• • x + The Hamilton Spectator is after other goveranient official with a arp stick -Mr. Orr, the Ontario sup- antendene of spraying. Inasmuch Mr. Orr and his work are somewhat mem ia Huron, the merits of the ' eee's criticism are of interest here. ?.rtving aside our con temporary's arg out that Mr. Orr's office is a useless as be isnot teaching fruit grow- nything but what they already full well -a point that nia,ny up Way will ageee with. --the pay- s credited to Mr. Orr in the •pub - counts for 1808 certainly are open uestion, and warrant, the enquiry de in the Legielature. As erin tendent of spraying he received ,or $5 a day for 107 days work - la is the rate, accordieg to the ter of,Agricultore, at which Mr. ie employed.

Me Mr. Or drew $442 for travelling ex^ Douses, and 012 for postage. Isn't that pretty steep? Row many town- ship or county connelle wonicl swallow senle a dose.as that from one of their officials? Who is so simple as to be- lieve that Orr worked every day from Monday to Satonday the whole 52 weeks of the year, spraying fruit twee and huntiug for SRO joss Scale ? The thing is an outrage on its fac-e, and with a proper system of auditing the pablic aecounts of this province no such apparent ateal would be attempt- ed or allowed. NOTES An order -in -council has been issued to nursery mein under date April 5th, that their stock shall be fumigated under the provisions of the recent act of the Legislature before being offer- ed for sale, The effect is to put this industry to great inconvenience in the height, of the spring trade. But as the object is to stamp out the San Jose Scale, all are interested in any reason- able measure to that end. Bradstreet's report of business fail- ures for the first quarter, 1898 and 1899 says :--- Canadian failures statistics point to the enjoyment of favorable business conditions by the business men of the Dominion, the total her of failures for the quarter being only 399, and the liabilities only $2,- 970,220, a *tilling off of 23 per cent. •in number and of as per cent. in liabili- ties involved from a year ago, while as compared with 1890 the -number of failures and the liabilities involved are • only about one-half as large. In 1800 Canada imported one and a half million dollars' worth of hog pro- ducts anclaexported about one-third of that amount. Last year the imports were less than a million, and the ex- ports over $S,000,000, being but a half million under the exports of cattle. There is a tendency all over the country to multiply pork packing houses. Bye and bye, the exports of hog products are expected to far ex- ceed those of cattle. The market for properly cured bacon and hams is prac- tically unlimited, It is a great and growing industry, "Tit for tat" is a good axiom in many cases, and it is one which the Conservatives of South Perth intend to apply with some force to their friends of the Liberal machine in that riding and at Toronto. At a meeting of the South. Perth Conservatives' eX.ecutive held in Stratford, it was de- cided to at once enter a connter peti- tion against Mr. Stock. Plenty of funds for the vigorous pushing of the protest have been subscribed, and strong evidence of bribery, etc., has been secured. In fact, the evidence is unusually strong, as a gang of strang- ers who manipulated the Goverzinaent cash made their headquarters in Mit- chell. The extent of the development which has taken place in hog raising in On- tario is shown by the market returns for the first three months of the pre- sent year, says a Toronto despatch. The total receipts for the first quarter will aggregate about 57,000 as compar- ed with 26,807 for the same period last year. This is an increase of consider- ably over 100 per cent. The receipts for January and February were nearly treble the receipts for the same months last year. Partly, apparently, as a re- sult of the low prices in those months the receipts for last month will only he a little over 1,000 above the ship- ments for the same month last year. It is probable, too, that the falling off is in part due to clearing out of avail- able supplies. Chatham Planet : A visitor to Chat- ham this week was J. 0, Johnston of Dawson City. He left Dawson six weeks ago for a trip to the east, and while in this vicinity dropped off here for a clay or two to see Mr. Trudell and one or two other old friends. In adult, with The Planet, Mr. John- ston said the allegations against the officials in the Klondike were true enough. "Then the miners actually had to bribe them to get their letters or get anything else done ?" queried The Planet. • "Every time." "And the charges made are not ex- ag,geratecl ?" "Not in the least. Everybody there knows, but we got used to a great deal and got so we didn't :mind it much, but you can't go too far in talking about official rottenness in the Yukon. They can't make any mistake about it." This is how the relatives of Dr. Mc- Donald, member for East Huron, fare at the public crib: -The .Auditor -Gen- eral's report, just distributed, contains this item; -"J. R. VcDonald. surgeon, May 10th to Nov. 13th, 1897, at $100 per month, 5611.07." The recipient of this sum froni the treastry is a son of the:menober for East -Huron. Again, the worthy member secured for his son-in-law, Dr. Horsey, the job of con- veying Li flung, Chang across the con- tinent, the grant for which was $3,000, " and no questions asked;" and again, in the auditor's report, appears the name of the firm of Canon & Sadler, of which this same zealane Liberal son-iralaw is a member, in connection with a dredging contract at Owen Sound, on which they drew the sum of 513,630 during the year. It is astonishing how some men can accumulate so mucb money in a short life time. Hugh Ryan, the well known contractor., who died in Toronto in February last, and: who cornasenced life a poor boy, leaves an estate of ne.arly two million dollars. The she - dale filed for probate shows his estate in the province of Ontario to atriourit to $835,322,00, ft, is inveritoried as follows Book debts and notes, 562,- 800.25; inaneye secered by mortgage, $270,128,03 ; life insuteence, $7, 1.25 ; bank stocks arid ether stocks in Ont- ario, $282,860 ; cash in bank, $154,- 388.46 freehold, $21,000 ; real estate, $27,202, Besides his Oatario estate he had property and investrneate in Mani- toba and the United States to nearly as large an amount as in Ontario. The estate will have to Pay betWeen $60,- 000 and $80,000 in $11CODSSIOD dutiee to the Ontario treaury.

What do temperance Liberals, includ- ing R. Holmes, M. P., prohibitionist, think of this ?--Goderieh Stan The following from the St. Gather- ines Daily Standard has reference to a former well-known resident of Exeter: "The Standard is pleased to know of the formation of a new drug company, known as the .Naumar Medical Co., with head office for Ontario ab St. CatherineS, of which we find Theo. Sweet,one of our enterprising and well known druggists, is one of the leading members.

The annual meetieg of the Canad- ian Lacrosse Association was held in Toronto last week. Mr. R. E. Jack- son, of Seaforth, was candidate for the presidency, but although he had the support of the leading terms in the association, the majority of the teams voted in favor of Mr. Stark, of Stouff- ville, the other candidate. The case of George Wells, of South Easthope, against Samuel and George Gray, Wm. Brown and Michael Carr- oll, of Mitchell, which was adjourned, has been dismissed by Police Magis- trate O'Lo.ane as no evidencewas offer- ed to support the charge, the parties having come to an amicable arrange- ment. The trouble arose out of a horse deal in which Mr. Wells claimed he was defrauded. On Sunday, April 2nd, at the resi- d born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1821, dence of his daughter, Mrs. J -ohnPeck, Mr. John Rouatt departed this nee, at the age of 78years.
