The lesson of the war so far is that the mounted infaiitry man would be of more use in the rou li Work of defending Canada than tho British infantryman, who is the chief product of our military schools. There ism) getting away from the truth that crimes. like the atrocities in West Elgin have never gone au - punished. The commission appointed by the Ontario Government will not permit the chief victim of these crimes to be rem esented by counsel. The evi- dence (the burning of the ballots) which should have landed some scoun- drels in the penitentiary has been des- troyed. Accident, or no accident the West Elgin ease has all the diameter- istics of an infamous crime. The GoriT- e Apnea which accepted without pro - r........4 st the profits of that crime bas no reason to resent the determination of the opposition to assert. its rights by any methods which it chooses to adopt. l `. 4. With the relief- a laimbetiey, the capture of eronje's army, and the re- lief of Ladysmith announced yester- day, the operations of the war will cer- tainly be shortened. It is a matter of history that the generals of irregular armies have always had the greatest difficulty in keeping their colomns from melting away under the steady attractions which home oilers to honie loving men. Washington was 4rea.tly troubled by the tendency. of his pat- riots to break away for home. The same disintegreting iefluence will now -- be at work on the soldiers of the Free State, The relief of Kimberley de- stroys the last hope that material profit can come to the Free State from the war. Lord Roberts is careful to respect the properby and personal liberty of the Free State burghers, and the advance of the British army will give the Free State good reason to draw off from the ill -started alli- ance with the Transvaal, and. seek to make its own bargain for peace with the British Empire. a = ee x The British intelligence department estimates the number of Boers liable to service in the Transvaal at 31,314; e_ in the Orange Free State, 22,314; dis- 'se loyal Cape Dutch, 4,000, and foreigners enlistea, 4,000, making a. total of 01,893, from which 1,893 men are deducted for the police. The Boers, it is said, have eighteen old guns of all kinds, 19 cap- tured from the British, and 73 new guns, classified as follows ; Creuot 15-0 guns, 16; 3.7 -inch, 21 • 7.5 -inch, 32, and 4.7 -inch howitzers, 4-'. Against this British have sent out mountain guns, 12; horse artillery, 54 ; field artillery, 234; five -inch howitizers, 36; naval guns, mostly 4-7 inch, 38 ; heavy seige train guns, 36. The British forces prior to the war consisted of 9,000 men, 7,600 unmounted, and 2 000 mounted. On the date of the ultima- tum, October 9, they had increased to 12,000 unmounted and 3,400 mountecea total of 16,000. On January 7 they were 83,000 unmounted and 19,800 • mounted. On February 28 they will consist 37,000 mounted men and 142,800 • unmounted. Amob of negro soldiers attempted o release two comrades from the El . Paso, Texas, police station by force of at•ros. AS a result One policeman and ane soldier were killed.

French, with a force of artillery, env- telry and mounted. infantry, reaehed the long -beleaguered city Thursday night Gen. French had. several engage- ments on his march across the Met and Modder rivers, while advancing to Kimberley, but the British suffered only slight casualties. Several Boer gene near Chieveley have been disabled by the British. Ladysmith ordeal) is subsisting on horse and rattle flesh, but the health of the men is generally improved. General Wench now holds both the Madder and Ritt rivers, between the Boers at ,Magersfontein and their base at Bloomfontein. Throughtiut the March the Free State farms were re- spected, but their owners almost in- variably fled, taking their effects. The health of the troops is excellent, but sickness is prevalent among the horses and a plentiful supply of re- mounts will be required. The details of the advance of the mounted force under Gen. French are encouraging so far as they go. These details are few, but they strongly indi- cate that the Boers were surprised by the rapid motions of the cavalry divi- sion. The proof of this surprise is af- forded by the large number of cattle and sheep captured in the Boer camps at the drifts over tbe Modder river. The withdra•wal of the Boers from al- most any position under artillery fire would not necessarily prove that they were surprised. But cattle and sheep are the breath of life to Cronje's army, and the movement, which drives the Boers away from aS large number of cattle and over 2,000 sheep, must be something in the nature of a surprise. French at Kimberly with a force of cavalry,artillery and mounted infantry not less than 10,000 strong, can domin- ate all the roads leading from Magers- fontein which are not commanded by Roberts at Jacobsdal. The Boers are now in the position of a besieged gar- rison at Magersfortein. Kimberley relieved, and the British in command of all the roads, the Boer army is likely to soon run short of supplies and be starved into a choice between surrend- er and attacking Lord Roberts upon ground of his own choosing. The heroic resistance of.. White and his brave garrison has lifted Lady- smith out of its true proportion to the fortunes of the campaign. The senti- ment which refuses to abandon the garrison in Ladysmith has made that town the centre of British interest and. British sympathies. Kimberley is in the material sense far more important than Ladysmith. The hope of adding Kimberly to the territories of the Free State bus been the prize which was ' dangled in front of the burghers of the Free State to lure them Into an alli- ance with the Transvaal. The relief of ICirciberly destrOy that hope and remove the powerful, though sor- did, inoti-ve which induced the Boers of the Free State to become partners with their kinsmen in the Traiisvaal. LIIDYSMITli RELIEVED! London, Feb 21.—The Queen this morning received news that Lady- smith bad been relieved. The am nouricenient was received. with im- mense entieusiaein and shouts of "Bra- vo, Buller," The news has not been confirmed, but is probably correct. The Queen has promoted • Gen French to be major -general.

Hon Mr Sifton goes to Englaml an March 10th, to consult a specialist for an affection of the ear, from which he has been suffering for years. A senior judge for Ontario county has been deckled upon by the Govern- ment. He will be Neil McClrimmon, of Toronto, formerly of St Thomas. .A, Winnipeg dispatch says:—The usual settlers' spring excursions from the east will commenre on March 6, and run every week during March and April. Alas and the West Elgin ballots which were to have been the subject of criminal proceedings, degenerated into the subject of an a,ccidental con- flagration. The lecture given by J II Aiken, in Mitchell, was a failure, and not a suc- cess as reported in last week's paper. It was not conducted by Mr. Ram, and the Advocate's vietvs of the affair seem to have been correct. Geo. E. Tuckettpresident of Tuckett & Sons Tobacco Company and former Mayor of Hamilton, died on Monday morning. Deceased a week ago took ill while preparing to go to Toronto to attend a meeting of the directors of the Traders' Bank, and pneumonia de- veloped. Juclees Osier and Ferguson, have handed out written judgment along the line of their statement in court last week, declining to remit the fines iniposed on the bribers and the bribed in South Ontario election cases. The judges agree that the penalty is not to be reduced to enable persons found guilty to escape punishment. Quite a number of those who accepted bribes must now go to jail, as they are utter- ly unable to raise the $200 fine. Bugler Dunn, the 15 -year-old mem- ber of the ist Royal Dublin Fusiliers, who was the first to cross the Tugela River, and who was shot in the right arm while running with the soldiers and, sounding the advance, saw the Queen as Osborne yesterday. Her Majesty presented hirn with a hand- some silver -mounted bugle, suitably inscribed. The Queen gave the lad a motherlywelcome, and expressed her hopes that he would have a successful career in the army. Greenway has so tied up the Liberal party that there is no hope of carrying a single bye election in the provincial contests so long as he is leader. This is a truth which will be verified by fu- ture events, just the same the case of South Winnipeg and Emerson. Sincere men among the Liberals de- plore the .situation, but are almost helpless me to date, as the machinery for calling a convention is still con- trolled by the rraiehine. The eastern press is sadly astray and misleads the public on the situation here. • The establishment of a$500,000 fac- tory for the manufacture of beet root sugar in Canada, it is said, will shortly be undertaken by American capital- ists, who are working in the interests of an Ottawa syndicate. The factory will be located in Ontario. and will, it is fetid, be capable of handling daily 500 tons of beets. • It is said that it will be necessary to pay $250,000 out every season to the farmers to be used for the purpose of feeding the cattle. The Government is to • be asked to place - a bounty on the production of beet sugar in Canada, mad this the promoters o compa,ny c aim eve ensure the ests,blishmeet in Canada of a great many other factories for mak- ing heet sugar. • Huron oia Boys.

He Would have no idea that as silver -streaked heads bent over those Stanley peas thoughts were run- ning away back to the time when those same heads, then young and towsy and borne by bare feet, used to follow tiny. hands up the old russet, tree that stood lie the corner where liiae fence separated the orchard, from the inarrow-fat pea patch, oot of which those same skin -bare feet and titly bands were often chased by the neighbor's enterprising collie. But the raisins from Ashfield, from the far nor -east coiner of the county away up there where centuries ago Lake Huron dashed her waves against the breakers, with Clinton Ice cream and Ushoroe eoffee, would have sur- prised the redskins.

PATitUrrio TOASTS The tonst list was in iceeping with the spirit of patriotism that is being _felt all over the Dominion. **The Army, Navy and Volunteers," proposed by Mr D Weisiniller and re- sponded to by Dr J E Elliott, was re- ceived amid loud cheers and the pay- img "The British Grenadiers," Mr. eismiller spoke of the greatness of the British Empire, of its power, and its great grip of the secrets of coloniz- ation. The success that in the past has attended her ventures in that di- rection should, he thought, justify her in the stand she has taken in defend- ing the Uitlanders of the Transvaal. Mr. Elliott reviewed the war history of Canada, dwelling upon the valor of her solcliers and volunteers, and con- cluding by expressing the wish that, if neededa10,000 meix be sent to South Africa instead of 2000. Perhaps the moment of the evening that, will remain longest in the memory of the "Old Boys" was reached when Mr. 3. S. Willis:en, as President, sub- mitted for honorary membership of the association, the name of Lieut.- Ool. Otter, who, as every inhabitant of Huron is proud to know, was born in the Townihip of Stanley, a few miles south ot the town of Clinton. Mr. Willison spoke humorously of his own early days of difficulty on a Hu- ron farm, and seriously of the advan- tages of an early country training over that obtained within the hurry and cramping influences of a city. The references to the war and Col. Otter's share in it were the occasion of the greatest of enthusiasm of the evening, Following, the Hon. A. M. Ross, who sat in the place of honoral the Presi- dent's right, was nominated by Mr. G A. Smith for the Honontry Presidency and accepted in a speech replete with anecdotes of the early thirties in the Huron tract, among which, of course, the mune of Tiger, Dunlop rec.eived frequent mention.
