Several others were ordered to prison for chart. er terms varying from ten to three months.. Missal) by the Toronto World, whose editor is a Conservative M, P., quite a number of newspapers are asking to have the Conservative party put In better fighting shape by deposing Sir Charles Tupper from the leadership. It is a little remarkable how quickly some people's opiuione undergo a complete right -about-face. Only a 'little better than a month ago when Liberal news. papers nnd speakers asserted that Sir Charles was not the man to have at the head of a Government, they were oalled nasty names and told that their judgment and opinions were badly off color, but after the 23rd of June not a few of the supporters of Sir Charles made bold to say that he did the mischief, the day being lost by too much Tupperism, It ie Said the old gentleman will save his friends (?) the trouble of throwing him overboard by quietly retiring. AT St. John Quebec, last Saturday, Hop. Wilfrid Laurier thus delivered him. self on the much vexed Manitoba School Question :—"In your beautiful address you speak about the Manitoba School Question. I thank you for having drawn my attention to the question which has embittered uublic opinion for the past six years. The Conservative party dur- ing the six years did nothing towards the settling of the question, and, although I have not been in power a fortnight the Tory press ie crying out, "Why do you not settle the school question ?" Bot I only want six months is which to settle the question, and, if I am not mistaken, before that time is over the question will be settled without exoiting the prejudices of anybody end rendering justice to whom justioe is due. (Applause.) It is not by using violence that we will manage to settle that question. I have deolared in the House, in the Province of Ontario and in the Province of Quebec that the only manner by which the question could be settled was by means of nonoil. iation, and I believe that further events will ebow I was right. I am now in the presence of the responsibility of my word, which I gave to the electorate before the 23rd of June, and the time has come to keep my word. I accept the responsibil- ity, and I hope that before six months I will have the pleasure of Baying to the people, "I have kept that word which I gave you ; here is the settlement of the question." (Applause.)" Tone is a little civil war on hand in the North-Western portion of Essex County over the refusal to do away with the ancient toll gate system on one of the main roads leading to Windsor. The road is operated under an act of Parlia- ment, called the Joint Stook Road Com- panies' Act. The Government grants a company the right to erect a toll gate on every five miles of road which it keeps in repair. The roads are ander control of Government inspeotora. No less than four or five toll houses have been burned, threatening letters written and other steps taken that rather indicate a law. leseness that should not be permitted to go unchecked. We don't approve of the toll road system that is now only exist- ent in a comparatively few Counties in the Provinoe, but at the same time there is a proper legal or commercial oouree 'open that will prove more successful and honorable than that followed by the vigilance committee, who will probably have time to regret their taking a hand in the incendiarism if the investigation now in progress reveals who the indi- viduals are. Canada has no room for anarchists or kla-klux-klaniem, and the midnight torch is a dangerous thing to fool with. Tins week the cruel Newe-Reoord Edi. tor, who was the Returning Officer for West Huron, on June 23rd, gives Editor Neelin, of the Seaforth Sun, a journalistic spanking because the latter said what be thought about Sir Charles Tupper. If the dog days were not hero we would not attempt to excuse the News -Record for the "dander" exhibited in the following epistle :--"The Seaforth Sun, a profess- edly Conservative paper, is showing the "cloven hoof." Never in the history of Canadian journalism—we mean respect. ablejournalism—has a party or any other paper stooped to such depths as that paper in denouncing the great and honored leader of a great party. For fifteen years or more the Sun hap liypo- aritioally-without circulation, withost influence—supported the Conservative party. It has during that time been as nnprinoipled in.its denunciation of the Reform party as it is to -day of the Con- servative party, like a "jack in the box," ready to jump when the airing is pulled. To say "that the Conservatives of Canada have become heartily side of the Tupper dynasty," to say of our honored and telt. sacrificing Indere that "the Tappers have lined their pockets well at the ex. penes of Canada," that "politics made Tupper a millionaire years ago," 10 abase slander on the epeitle55 pbaraoter of pun of this country's leading aid meet hoe- ored eltieens, It is more—the charge IS e foul libel Qu the great Ceneervirtive party of this Dominion and a reproeeh bo gvary member of that party. What is alt tlis reason for this 7 There cannot be any legitimate reason. ` Per Settee the Sun newspaper bee been a drag on the party and a ftnanoial lose to lie support. ere, It's editor, like the grave yard ghoul;, has preyed upon everything within reach. If fair tneans fail, foul means would not prevent capturing even a Oprps°. Under Tory rule sense of the abort -sighted Conservatives were foolish enough -•-through N, Clark Wallaos and others—to ornate a Port of Eubry at Sea- forth—an ofiioe pot required—and the Sun man scoured the plum; Of course he desires to hold ib, And in order to do so he is willing to, and has come cub openly and betrayed hie Mende, Thie ie no worse than what people have read of from time immemorial. Judas betrayed Christ, but our Saviour was not ignorant Of the fast. The News -Record feels sore at heart for our wayward confrere, bub hie sine have and will continue to find him out. The Sun cannot serve God and Mammon without exposure, The Sun is witbouta peer." YQu naughty Sun map, why did you not ask the consent of the Record before expressing your opinion? Juet now we don't remember ever notio- ing where .the Reoord called the Sun to order for his "unprincipled denunciation of the Reform party" and on the princi- ple that the receiver is se bad as the thief we advise the Record editor to get a barrel of ashes and ten yards of sack oloth and repent of his sins of omission as well as commission. While in the rectifying business wo beg leave to Bug. gest that the Toronto World, Stratford Herald, St, Mary's Journal and other leading Conservative newspapers that have spoken should also be made to apologise for what they said about Sir Charles.

Snyder & Becker, Eawkesville, who have been boring for water at Mitchell, streak a flow Friday at the depth of only forty feet. An ordinary well was sunk 24 feet, and only 16 feat was bored. The well filled up rapidly, and there is evi- dance of a strong flow. The boring was undertaken by the town council to relieve the water famine. People naturally felt greatly relieved with the success of the boring, but it is hardly expected that enough water would be got from the one well to supply the town. The good work will be continued.

Touoxro, Ont., July 28,—Trade was a little brisker at the Western oattle yards to -day, although it cannot be said that prices were much improved from last Fri- day. There was perhaps a little more active demand for butchers' cattle for Montreal, about 15 oar loads going to that market. Several dealers were bay- ing export oattle at the low prices going, which gave the market a alightly steadier tone. Offerings were not heavy to -day - 08 carloads, including three loads which arrived Sunday. The offerings included 1,880 sheep and lambs, 650 bogs, 52 calves and about a dozen miloh oowe. Export cattle sales were made to -day at from $8 25 to 03 60 per ewe, mostly, only one carload going to 90 65 per osvt. Sheep and lambs—Export sbeep are in fair de• mend at from 30 to 3io per pound, and 29a per pound for rams. Butchers' sheep are quiet at 290 to 290 per pound. Lambs were in large supply and off some- what in price, selling at from 92 26 to $3 25 per head, or about 4o per pound for good ones. Calves—There were a lot of calves in to -day, but all sold. Prions ruled steady, at from $2 to $4 per bead for common to medium, and 95 to $6 per bead for good to choice veal$. The lat- ter figure was eeldom paid. Good calves are wanted. Miloh oowe and springers— These were Belling a little bit better to- day, at from 920 to $30 per bead for the general run. A couple of extra fanny cows sold at 985 each. Good cows are wanted. Hoge—Offerings were light, and the market held its own. Choice selections of springers sold for 490 per pound, weighed off the ears ; other kinds are quiet. The London, Eng., Morning Post says "The extensive ehipmente of Canadian horses bo this country have for some time past seriously hampered the markets for the produce of British studs. Por light street work the cheap imported animals appear to answer fairly well, and withstand the exigencies of the climate much better then was expeoted. Accord- ing to the Canadian Gazette the London General Omnibus Company have entered into a contract for the delivery of 5,000 Canadian 'horses to be used in their 'buses on the London streets ab the aver- age price of £40 per head, the contract extending over five years. Tbie extensive order may be accepted as high testimony to the utility of the Canadian horses, and, in consequence, will give rise to no little anxiety among horse breeders in this country."
