Ti Pon believes that the Dominion Government should dispose of their private railway cars and allow the mem- bers of the Cabinet to travel in first-class cars on regular trains. The ooach of to. day is good enough for anybody and for those who want better the parlor car is at their command on the main lima. praotioal, every day work this Do- minion wants and what it should receive. Some of the Opposition journals are Oak. ing great pleasure out of the fent that these private cars are used, and are toma. hawking the Grits on account of this. The telesoopia vision of some of these editors is wonderfully acute since the 23rd of lest Zane. ALL Casirsarm, the Provincial Road CoMmissiouer, is doing a good work in Ontario and in the years to come his services will be more highly appreciated even than now at the almost initial stage of the good roads movement. This week Mr. Campbell is delivering addresses in Bruce County and preparing plans of roadways, drainage, &o., for presentation to the various municipalities interested, showing the best way to carry out the theory advanced. The Provincial Gov. eminent cid a wise act when such a man was secured, as the important department he hoe charge of touches more ratepayers diet/Y than any other in the program. Few municipalities can throw stones at their neighbors on the question of good roads. Let the good work go on. WE believe the Senate costs infinitel more than it is worth to this countr and largely so because the seats are oft filled by men unqualified for the highs Chambers both as to age and practical ex perience. Many of them have beea tira servers of the most finished type. If th y Senate is to bo re -organized rather than abolished then we think the appointments made this week of Hon, David Mills, of London, and Geo. A. Cox, of Toronto, are the very kind that will benefit the country and make the Senate of use, Mr. Mills is a brilliant lawyer, in the prime of life, and with a long experience in political affairs. Mr. Cox is a shrewd business man who stands in the front rank as a financier, The new men will vote against maintaining the unlicensed bar in the Senate Chamber, we sincerely hope. Perth COUnty. Dr. Robertson, of Stratford, is making arrangements for locating at Wallaceburg. Ted Merryfield was before Police Mag- istrate Flagg at Mitchell the other day, charged by John Goetz, of Elioe, with obtaining money under false pretences. The =ergo was established, and Merry - field was sent down for three months in the county jail. A strange man was run over and killed et Shakespeare on Monday' evening by the mixed train going east. He was anti. Byrne, of Stratford. He bit home Mon- day evening between six and seven o'clock intending to go to Toronto, where work bad been procured for him by an employ- ment agency. The mangled body was found on the break after the evening train for the east had left Shakespeare. Life was extinct, and death was apparently instantaneoue, No railroad ticket was, found on the body, and the ticket clerk at Stratford bas no resolleation of selling him one, and the sopposition is that he was helping himself to a ride. As de- ceased was very short-sighted 11 38 sup- posed that in taking the train at Shakes. peen) he missed his footing and fell un- der the oars. Coroner Rankin visited the swine during the night and decided an inquest was unnecessary. Byrne was about 30 years of age and lived at Stoat - ford 01 011 his parents. • Ca Radian Ne Sir Merle's and Lady Tupper left for England on board the steamship Ntuni- dian, which sailed from Quebec on Sat- urday night. Alfred Lamb was working under a car on a switch at Stratford when a shunted car struck it. The result was the shock- ing death of Mr. Lamb. The body of Michael Dundort was found at Hamilton lying on the street in a pool of blood. It is believed he nerdy, ed his injuries in an =cadent, Dr. Milne, of Viotoria, B.

Harry Songer dad Thomas Mallon were in the bush near Brookville with a revolver Sunday night. Songer was reloading the weapon, when it went off the ballet striking Mallon in the side and piercing both lungs. Mallon is now in St. Vinnent de Pani Hospital and Songer is detained at police headquarters await. ing developments. Edward A.

Imams, Eng., Nov. 10.—The Mark Lanei Express n the course of a long article on the orops, says :—"The de Delaney in India is now known to be very serious, bat it is not likely that any large wheat imports will occur. Al- though priecs only range from 26s to 36s per quarter the extreme poverty of the Indian populace renders anything over 30s almost prolaibitoryl and las to 26s is the usual range. Owing to the failure in India and Australia a deficiency of 2,033,600 quarters has been created in Groat Britain's usual supply, which must bo made 05 from other sources,_ and is a changethe situation which itself is sufficient to uphold the recent rise. The quantities of wheat in passage to the United Kingdom on Nov. 7th were 2,401,000 quarters, of which Russian wheat. amounts' so 400,000 quarters, North American, 900,000, South Ameri- can, 100,000, Californian, 1,220,000, and elsewhere, 26,000 quarters. The spring corn trade has been dull for maize, the supply of which is larger than a good retail demand can easily tuesirnilate, while the largo new crop in America discourages any idea of speculative per. chases for a rise in 1807." Tonoicro, Nov. 10.—The Toronto cattle market to -day so far AS receipts were concerned was one of the most remark- able on record for seven years. There were only 20 cars on the boards, which included 851 sheep and lambs, 1,650 hogs and half a dozen calves, In the absence of large offerings the market wee quiet and prices were not good. Montreal men were looking for 501110 cattle, but they could not get any of a kind to suittbem, them. Only' about 1 car of butcher's cattle 'were taken for Montreal. Cables firm.
