Tx Toronto on Friday Justice Fergu- son, of the chancery court, heard argu- ment upon the questions submitted by the provineiai government with respect to the proper interpretation of curtain clauses of the School Act, The attorney general and minister of education hold that as the law stands every ratepayer in Ontario is, prima facie, a supporter of the public schools, and that no one can be rated as a supporter of sap orate schools unless he or she gives notice to the assessor 0f a deeire to be so rated. Opponents of the government contend that every Roman Catholic ratepayer Meet, as the tan• stands, bo assessed as a sup;or.er of separate schools. Charles Moss, Q. C., argnedthe ease in snpport of the go'ernnlout's view, and D. A. Sul- livan, Q. C. contra. Judgment was re. served. We are of the opinion that the sooner the farmers adopt the plan suggested by by J. C. Hay at the Farmers' Institute last Saturday, viz, : To sell their grain out and out to the miller and let it be graded according to quality, and' then make their purchase of flour, E'torts, bran er chop at wholesale tate, the better it will be for both buyer and Beller. There should be a distinction between good and poor grain, and this is one way of arriving at a satisfactory solution. The same rule could be worked in eon. neotion with the butter business to the pleasure and profit of the merchant and his customers. The old style of trading or bartering one commodity for another has about ran its race and a new order of things will shortly take its place. Casio is the new rule that should be adopted in all lines of trade. This, with "pay as you go," would go a lone dis- tance in putting a better face on the present depressed state of trade. Tonoero the good, the home of law and order, is fast making a reputation for itself. A few days ago Arohbishop Walsh was stoned in the streets by a mug of roughs, while on his way from the railway station to St Micheal's cath- edral. One of the stone throwers named Wm. Mackintosh was captnred and con- demned by the police magistrate to pay a fine of fifty dollars or go to gaol for a month. Not having fifty dollars he went to prison. Then a subscription was started to pay his fine. The necessary sum was raised on Friday, and on that evening Mackintosh was not ouly releas• ed but made the hero of a demonstration and a "triumphal procession" through the streets, in which were carried trans- parencies bearing such offensive phrases ae : "No Walsh Rule Here," "No Popery," "Boys do Your Duty," "We Worship Jehovah the God of Christiana, not the Pancake God of Rome." A nice exhibition truly, in the city which is popularly believed to be the home of. brotherly love, and a place where men are supposed never to give and to be slow to take offence ! One of the par- ticipants of Friday night's demonstration has since been arrested and fined. The Toronto Telegram says that the whole demonstration was an inexpensive meth- od of expressing contempt for the law ; and the public feeling toward it was one of regret that the police could nob seize the insulting transparencies and disperse the gang.—Ottawa Free Press. Tazicelebrated Cronin case which has been before the Court at Chicago for some time has come to an end. It may not be generally known yet it is neverthe- less true that in the State of Illinois juries not only yass judgment upon the guilt or innocence of prisoners tried be- fore them, but they also fix the punish- ment of those found guilty. In moor. dance with this system the Chicago jury eeleoted to try the men accused of mur- dering Dr. Cronin, alter forty-eight hours deliberation, found Burke, Cough- lin and O'Sullivan guilty of murder and fixed their punishment at imprisonment for life. Kanze they found to be an ac- cessory, and sentenced him to three years confinement, while John F. Beggs, the lawyer, chief guardian of the fattens Camp 20 of the Clan•na.Gael, wee acquit. ted. There is little doubt that the And. ing of the jury is what the prosecuting attorney calls "a compromise verdict," but even regarded as such it appears strangely illogical. The murder of Dr, Cronin teas an atrocious crime, and if Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Burke com- witted that murder, as the jury soy they did, they certainly merited the most gevare penalty known to tho law. It is possible that while the jury regarded the evidence as conclusive of guilty know. ledge, or complicityin the murder on the putt of the three, they were not satisfied thee the priemers Were them wci'o the 11en.ahe aetluelty dealt rhe )iin'denone • blows, A motion Ione been matte for a new trial on behalf of the eonvietod prisoners, so that proceedings in the case are likely to be prolonged for months or perhaps for years. Even if the • senteuee delivered Monday is ultimately sustained by the cour't's the prisoners will stand an excellent champ of s00nring a commutation when l•alitieal mallets become warm, There would not have been it big mistake made if the whole of Camp 20 had beeu sect to the gallows. They are a bad gang and Chicago would • be well rid of them, - Tile charge of the Judge and the pre- sentment of the Grand Jury at the County Court has re -opened the county ' poor, house question, and it is to be hoped that the matter will not again be allowed l drop until the object aimed at is attain • - ed. It is little abort of It disgrace that the poor in this county are not letter looked after than they are. Farmed out or sent to jail, their lot is certainly u0t a happy one. When they are farmed out the persons taking thein do so on ',menet of the little that ie to be made out of their keep, and anything the indigent does not get will be so mnoh sa' ed. Tbere is little danger of any superabun• dance of comfort being meted out to the poor under that system. In jail the poor are doubtless better treated, but then there is the undesirable fact always before them that then are under arrest, ud are housed with criminals. This should not be the case. Poverty is not a crime, if it is inconvenient, and itis burden enough to be poor without having any further burden of misery or discom• torture added to the victim's load. The cost to this county of thie miserable system of !seeping the unfortunate whom the Savior bas said we will have with us always may be safely estimated ab $5,- 000. Private charities add easily anoth- er thousand and the keeping of indigents in the jail will Dome up to a thousand more. Poor.houses now exist in Elgin, Waterloo, York, Llneoln, Middlesex, Norfolk, Wellington, Welland and Brant. On an average the natal cost of the land and buildings in these counties is $16,670. The average cost of maintaining a poor person in happiness and comfort in one of these places is $58 including managing expenses. The number of poor in thls county could therefore be thus comfort- ably maintained for at most $6,000. It is evident tilat upon both economic and charitable grounds a poor house should be oonstruotsd at once, and it would be well to have the question brought up and discussed at the coming nomination meetings throughout the conuty.

Newmarket is going to pass a hy.law that all children under 12 years of age shall be at home after 9 p. in. Well, they ought to be at home before that time ; also children much older, and it is the duty of parent; to see that they are there, Rev. Dr. Rain.ford, formerly of To- ronto, was fined $25 and costs at South• ampton, LougTeland, Tuesday, for shoot- ing a quail in October. The rev. gentle. man made no defence, and after paying the fine said that he had not shot the bird over which the case arose, but had killed another one. Mr. Clarkson, lignidator for the Polson Company, asks the town of Owen Sound to assist in reconstructing the company.

Johnson to McKay, since as- suming ownership of the Leamington Post, have purchased Williams Bros.' plant with which was formerly printed the deceased Tribune. Another instance of the folly of trying to publish an op- position sheet in a town where a good paper is already established. At the regnlar meeting of the county council of Oxford, the special committee on the House of Refuge "were of the opinion that the time had arrived when the county should establish and maintain a House of Refuge and Indnetrial Farm, and recommended that the clerk adver- tise in the rascal way for offers for suit- able parcels of land." The report failed to meet the approval of the council by 16 to 18, but was laid over till the January meeting by a small majority. i3lvth. The Conservatives of this village are organizing.

Daldrou, We, the member's 0f Refneo Lodge, I. 0.G.T., feel then we cannot let this op- portunity pass without conveying to yon and your friends, our heartfelt sympathy in your sad bereavement, by the death of your affectionate mother. It has been the will of Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom to take her to Himself, and al- though the words of your hind mother may have caned to be heard any longer on earth, be encouraged by the comfort- ing words that are recorded in the Book of Life, by Him who has promised to bo a father to the fatherless and a friend to the widow. You, dear brother, have lost your best earthly friend, but we rejoice to know bhab she died fully trllating in the Saviour. We assure you of our deep regret at this dispensation of God's poor. idence and hope and trust that you may so live that you may partake of that glad re -union, where there shall be no more sorrow, no more grief ; for God shall wipe away all tears.
