Tbeir friendship, whether sincere or nob, was no good tu Canada, and this country should simply go her cwn way and allow the Michigan lumbermen to use their influence with the Washing- ton Government for all it is worth. A writer from the Yukon to Scrib- ner's Magazine, says— "The Canadian 'Government sends as inspectors to collect royalties the keeper of a livery stable and the captain of a whaler, whose fitness is their political pull. Most of the civil officials, as far as I could learn, were amassing fortunes at the expense of the honest prospector. Nobody wants any official to be con- de.nmed withont investigation, on the strengthor weakness of testimony like the foregoing. Everybody should want Canada and Canadian officials to be vindicated by an enquiry which can supply the only effective and final an- swer to these general statements which have gone before the reading public of the Anglo-Saxon world as evidence of rascality in the Yukon. By allowing officials to stake out claims the Minister of the Interior invited attack, and by adding the duties of investigator to Mr. Ogilyie's other la- bours he did nothing to enable Canada to meet her accusers with proof that innoceaace had been vindicated or that guilt had been punished. Almost every English and American writer who has gone into the Yukon has made statements tending to disgrace Canada in the eyes of world. Mr. Bergeron, a Quebec member, in the House, on the 10th inst., referred to irregularities in the plebiscite vot- • ing, and in reply to an interruption by Sir Wilfrid Lanrier, said that if the Premier would order a thorough in- vestigation into the matter he would undertake within three days to place ' before him details to justify the alle- gation that had beeh made even by Liberal newspapers in that province, that the -Voting had been carried on for a week in that proyince after the tine appointed for closing the polls. The Dominion Alliance of Montreal, when they asked an investigation in- to those irregularities, bad been begg- hy Mr. Fisher- to consent to a Gov- ertietent enquiry, hat they refused, as they did not want a political, but thortarg,h, invtigation..

Charles Tapper in his speech on Mr, E. F. Clarke's amendment, plaoea the governmenb, as well as M. Sinai.), e vex e unfavorable position before the couritey, that is if the government refuses the requelt to appoint an in- dependent commiesion to investigate the elearges of misconduet and cor- ruption in the Yukora by officials of the governreent, and allew M. Ogilvie, a subordinate and relatiye of M. Sifton, to make the enquiry. Fol. lowing are a few extracts frona the speech.— 'When the senior member for Pie- tou received a visit from a gentleman who represented one of the largest financial institutions in London, ited was told by that gentleman that when he went to see the executive head of of the Yukon, Mayor Walsh was so intoxicated that he did not know what he was doing, he was bound to bring the enatter before the House. We breye placed before this House from a score of thoroughly indepen- dent sources that which demonstrates the absolute necessity for an impartial investigation into these charges. To say That Mr. Sifton occupies such a position that the Government Can- not afford to have his conduct investi- gated by anybody but a relative or connection of his own, is a proposition that only required to be stated to re- veal its utter absurdity. I believe a judicial investigation will have the result of driving the Minister of the Interior out of his seat and into private life. „ •• Mr. Wade' s whole course in the Yukon country has been a most scan- dalous course of misconduct and cor- ruption, and if an -independent judicial tri burial is given, that would be proved up to the hilt. If the object of Mr. Sifton had been to exploit the Yukon country for him- self and his friends, or for party pur- poses, he could not have taken more effective means than:he did. The imposition of a ten per cent. royalty has practically stopped. the whole development of the Canadian Yukon. The Government must in defence of the country, of themselves, and of their own honor appoint a judicial commission, or they will tind that the intelligent people will strike down the men who are unwilling to have their acts submitted to such a tribunal, because they know it would involve them in disapproval and discomfort.

The auction sale of the Savage pro- perty , on thelth con. of Grey, drew a large crowd on Monday .of this week. The I00 -acre homestead Ives sold to W.

Sir Hibbert Tupper stoutly denies a despatch received here from Ottawa that he was rebiring from Federal poli- tics t45 establish himself as the leader of a Conservative Government in British Columbia. He Mr that there is not a word of truth in it. Many of the fruit growers around Leamington are using the tobacco stalks and stems as a fertilizer for their peach orchards. It is said that refuse from tobacco is not; only a first-class fert,ilizer, but that ib will kill fungi, borers and all pests thatpray on peach orchards. Last Thursday evening a large por- tion of of the mill dam at Carlmgford was swept away by the ice and • rush of the water. Mr. Knott estimated the damage at about $500. The com- munity sympathize with him in the considerable loss and inconvenience which he has sustained. The Ontario Attorney- General's Department has been informed of counterfeiting operations in the dis- tricts of Wyandotte and Morse, in the County of Essex, The counterfeiting is of fifty -cent pieces. The counter- feiting is excellently done, the milling on the edges being perfect, and the col - oris good. The piece is part silver, and is a bit heavier than the genuine coin. Inspection of the fruit trees in Kings -- -pine district shows that fully 90 per cent of the peach trees were killed by frost. Only small trees that were well banked survive. In many large peach orchards not a single live peach tree remains. It is the biggest disaster the peach growers of Essex county have ever known. The loss will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. People have wondered how it was that so few circuses visited Canada during the past three or four summers. The reason is that the United States Government exacted a return duty on the circus 'clients This duty was so stiff that few shows could afford to leave the country andreturn again. It is it poor show that is not worth a couple hundred thousand dollars. This would mean a duty of about $70,000 to be paid on re-entering the country. This duty has been entirely removed so that the corning season will no, doubt be prolific of circuses. Judge Robertson gave his decision in •the application on behalf of the Crown for a, change of venue in the Ponton case. He said that while he was satisfied that a fair jury could be found in Napanee, yet in view of the evidence put in of disturbances occurr- ing at the last trial, and of the circum- stances generally, he was convinced the ends of justice could be better served by having the trial elsewhere. As the counsel could not agree on any place if the venue were changed, be had consulted with eight of his brother judges, and all but one of them had recommended Toronto. He therefore granted a change of venue, and decid- ed that the tvial shall he held in To- ronto. The revised edition of Rand, Mc- Nally & C's atlas published "By the autlierity of the Minister of the Interior," in Chicago has mule its appearance, and it very little, if any, better than the first edition of two hundred thousand, which had to- be destroyed, It is true that an attempt )111,14 been merle to correeb sortie of the Juni ly ridiculous errors which appear in the first edition, but there are still enough sins of ornissioe and commis- sion to make ib Unreliahle, and of little %/able. As an instance Ottawa, which appeared in the first edition as the capital of Ontario, is replaced by Toronto, but thereby gets clopped til- togetbertand does not appear at all on the list of Canadian cities.

He was a brother of Dr. Edgar Macklin, of London• and formerly resided in Lucart. John Cunningham, an old man with long hair and neglected beard, arrived itt Windsor, Monday morning in a prairie schooner from North Dakota. He is a Canadian who left for the west during the war, crossing the border at Port Huron the day the news was re- ceived that President Lincolnwas shot. He farmed, drove stages in nearly all the Western States, and took up a, claim in North Dakota, Somebody jumped his claim, he says, and he had to light out. He left on Oct. 1 and ina.cle for Oklahama, but got discouraged at the prospects there, and put back for his old home in Lu - can, Ont. He has been on the road ever since, sleeping in his wagon with only two old thread -bare blankets and a ragged overcoat for bedding. • A sad calamity took place Saturday morning when George Saunders, who resides about five miles from leorrie, cn the twelfth concession of Howick, committed suicidellby drowning himself in the north branch of the River Mait- land, which is situated about eight rods from his farm. It is believed that he has been temporarily insane for some time. The body has been found. 0.wing to the increase of black knot among the plum and eherry trees the Brant council has seen to try and exterminate it. Two Inspectors are be appointed, whose duties it will be to enforce the law and see that all black knot is cut out and In -in -zed. A Brant County paper says it is to be hoped that everyone will at once des- troy all knot found upon their trees, thereby giving the inspectors no oc- casion to resort to the law. The sur- rounding townshhips cannot do better than to follow the example of 13rant in this matter, and, ' thus banish the disease from the country. The same good advice applies with equal force to Huron county and all parts of the province. WPM'S Irif1tie HAS MADE Paine* Celery 'Compound The Great Horne Medicine.

His family con- sists of two estimable daughters, the eldest being seventeen years of age. To a correspondent of the Brockville Recorder who recently called at Mr. Sinith's, Miss Minnie E.

I became pale and languid, and if I undertook to do any -work about the house, would easily become terribly fatigued.

All -this is due to the efficacy of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and I would advise any other young girl troubled as I was to use them, and, they will certainly cure if the directions are followed.
