Money is now plentiful. Many aro seeking investment. This is not more hazardous than mining and if stook in it were placed on the market it might eolnunand a large and ready sale. What TTE HERALD finds most fault with is the way in which the public money has been spent there in the past and the. suppose tion. that the $5,000 to be granted at the present session would likely be disposed of in the same useless way. We devote considerable space this week to an article from the Toronto News, re the city of St. Joseph. We would not have given it as much attention as our brother of the quill has done, as we diel not consider the subject worthy of the time spent in writing it, but as it was ready to put in type and there seemed to be a general desire on the part of a great many to see it we decided to transfer it to our columns as it appeared in our con- temporary. We have no desire to stop the granting of money by the Government to any reasonable pro- ject in South Huron but we do of course object to see good money wasted. Bad Mr. Cantin put up a saw mill, say at a cost of two or three thousand dollars and started up in a modest way, and received aid fr•nn Ottawa to help hint out, none 'would have been more glad than THE HERALD. This would have been a feasable, popular and paying industry and might in a few years have called quite a popula- tion to St. Joseph, and other indus- tries such:as flour mills or others could have been added as occasion required, or as capital became available. The market for lumber is extensive and prices for some years have been firm, so that little loss could have resulted, but more likely a fair return on the invest- ment received. THE HERALD has no desire to handicap or injure either Mr. Cantin or the Company which has the work in hand, nor would it appose the granting of another $5,000 if it was assured that the money would be put to practical use. • If the company interested are composed of men of large Ineans, and will spend it to accomplish the end aimed at, we will be with them in every possible way. There must, however, be capital a i THE HERALD believes that little less than $50,000 would builds piers of any great use as a a suitable place of refuge for vessels of any considerable size, or that wotild stand the strains of Lake Huron's billows when arous- ed by the fierce winds of the fall months and it might require two or three times that amount. The building of such piers is not an impossibility., Money will do al- most anything if there is enough of it and competent and practical men engaged in expending it. Without it is simply throwing money away to attempt such a thing either at St. Joseph or any other place similarly situated, Nothing would please THE HERAL» better than to see a lake shipping port so close to Zurich as St.' Joseph, but the• result of the ex- penditure to this end so far has convinced us that aside from the work given to those employed—the money was spent to no purpose. If there is a strong eoinpany form- ed to prosecute the work, however, and who have confidence that it is practical Thin HERALD will be the last to throve any obstacle in its way, but will as we said before, be only too willing to help it along in any way that it can, These are days of big undertakings and a company with a capitalization of a few millions could work wonders here as it could any whore else, 'There have been many companies formed for mining and other pro- jects, which have brought no great gain, bat rather losses to the stock -holders and the organization of such as company could do no worse if it did not do better, .in this ease. Thera aro met who see The Court for the investigation into the Gamey charges, came to an abrupt ad- journment on Monday morning, owing to the non-appearance of Mr. Gamey, the prosecutor in the case. Mr. Blake, his senior counsel, admitted that he was in the dark as to his whereabouts, or future inten- tions ; and so seriously did he look upon his absence that he placed himself in the hands of the Court, as to ,whether he should withdraw or not. The Court decid- ed however, that he should not do so,as the trial was not a private one, as much as it was in the interest of the whole people of Ontario. With this view the chief counsel for the defence coincided, and the Court adjourned until Thursday rimming to give Mr. gamey a chanee to put in appearance and to allow all parties interested to pay a last tribute of respect to the late Lieuten- ant -Governor, by =attending his funeral— Mr. Gamey, it seams, went to Buffalo, eith- er for a rest or iu search of a witness—so his friends report. The fact that be 19ft town without infirming his Counsel, and took his baggage with hint, gave rise to many sensational reports. He has, how- ever, retnrned to Toronto, bud doubtless was on hared at the opening of the Court on Thursday, As to the outcome of the investigation, THE HERALD can Yet form no opinion, as the evidence for the prose- cution is not yet closed, and, of course, no evidence for the defence can be called un. til that is announced. Interest in diocese seems to be visibly on the wane through- out the Province` - - Sir Oliver Mowat, Lieutenant --Governor of the Province, succumbed to the injuries received, as annouced by us in last issue. The venerable statesman had reached a good old age, being in the neighborhood of 83 years. He was accorded u state funeral —which was well deserved—the interment taking place on Wednesday. Mr. Mortimer Clark, K. U., has been appointed Lieut. -Governor of Ontario as successor to Sir Oliver Mowat, deceased.. Mr. Clark's appointment is a surprise to most persons, as he is hardly known in politics. He will, however, be all the more acceptable on that account. It pays to be moderate impolitical matters sometimes. EVANGELICAL CNEERENCEI HELD AT DASHwOOD LAST WEER.

(From The Toronto News) 'Rare the story of the ",city" of St. Joseph, with its mysterious pal- ace hotel, its mythical factories, its 2,000 city.building lots, its ;lowing but still nebulous future and its government -built harbor, print- ed in a magazine of current fiction, it would be generally considered as a clever and' playful bit of fancy, well imagined by sone ingenious literar y Manc,iiausen. But as an abtual story from real life, happen- ing in an age *ben sane business Inen are not apt to indulge in such expensive Quixotic schemes, and when governments are not suppos- ed to throw away public money in abbetting there, it would be laugh- ed at by all sensible non as a pipe dream. Yet this mysterious folly of Huron County is no pleasant tale of fiction. It is real. And the fact that it is real furnishes rich mater - for students of queer phases of hu- man nature, and of the ridiculous in modern Canadian polities. About thirty miles down the shore of Lake Huron, from Goder- icb, and ten miles due west from the town of Hensall, there juts out from a straight strip of unprotected weather-beaten coast, a forlorn piece of crib work, some twenty feet long. Further out, and a rocs or so to the south, there are the re- mains of another crib, over which the waves dash. Strown•along the shore for some hundreds of Yards the timbers, some of which were washed from similar cribs, by the unopposed onslaught of Huron's white -capped • rollers, and others prepared for the continuation of the work. Practically that is all that is left for the naked eye to see as the result of a government expen- clittgre of $10,000, in a mad attempt to build a harbor where nature in- tended no harbor, and where the people of Huron asked for no harbor and needed none. ME TOWN 05' ST. JOSEPU. On a. bluff above the narrow strip of sand forming the beach, there lies the almost deserted and won- derfully ridiculous town, or city of St, Joseph. At present the 'city comprises a bare, unfinished hotel about the size of the Walker Haase, Toronto, a half amen vacant and partially finished storos,severaal city like residences, it post office, ti building dignified, by the name of an organ pipe factory, a small frame hotel, togetber with building sites for factories, stores and residences ad libitum. A. News representativo visited this forlorn and ahnost pathetic spot on the llth instant, and the title that was told him by residents in the vicinity beggayrs much that is told by modern romancers. OA.NTti, THE PROMOTER, The designer of this Ontario 'cas- tle sieur'1\1*,M. ` i one MOn Ie tie in Spain s Cantin. This Monsieur Cantin, who is still a comparatively young man, was born of Prelich-Grenadian parents, within about a quarter of a mile of the present city of St. Joseph, then known, and still ap- pearing on the maps, as Johnson's Mills. At that time the place con• silted of a, post office and a saw mill. Both are there still. After he grew up to young manhood Can - tin became for a time a cattle deal- er on a small scale, and as such did business with a. neighboring well- to-do Scotch farrier named. James Campbell. Sometime afterwards Cantin moved to larger spheres of enterprize: Rumour says he inter- ested capitalists in another part of the country in a scheme for making cement, and the financial returns to himself were good. Six or seven years ago he returned',to his native placejwitli considerably larger ideas of money and how it was to be made. He conceived the idea of turning Johnson's mills into a flourishing city, with factories, street car lines, and big dividends all complete. (,IUALIPIOATIONS LAOEING. Now, Johnson's Mills have ap- parently no qualification for any such destiny. It has no natural harbor of any kind, 'it is not the centre of any rich or populous agri- cultural district, and it is ten miles from the nearest ralway line. 'But Cantin' was a good talker and had unlimited optrnistrt in projecting the Scheele. Be approached Camp- bell with his project, told him of fortunes to be shade by the build- ing lots to be sold, etc, Anda, strange to say, this hardheaded, old Scotchtnan fell in with the scheme. He had confidencein Can - tin and advanced a few thousands. A civil engineer and arohitec was engaged, The city was surveyed into building lots, factories and res- idences, and 0 palace hotel were built (on paper) and everything was completed but the actual buildings. A street ear lino was even pictured on the plan, with a car runiting past the hotel entrance. The erection of the hotel and of a factory where hair curlers or simi- larly useful articles was to be made was begun. Things went on with a great rush, Newspaper write-ups were secttrod, and the public became interested. But presently Campbell got restless and funds were not forth-coming.— Straightway new capitalists were brought on the scene by Contin dug up from nobody knows where, but always suave, well-dressed and •'t tniilionarires." Carnpbell, who had already sunk thott,sands in the scheme, was persuaded that the profits would eventually begin to appear. He could have his money back, of course, if he -wanted But --- But ho might as well stay in the scheme and share the profits, So he stayed and advanced more mon- ey, So the city progressed, by fits and starts, Various factories wore projected and occasionally they ao,,, tually started operations for a few days, A hammer factory was plan lied and1 started, But the walls of the building was, so report has it, only eight inches thick, and before the throbbing machinery was putt
