FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 21 1901
The aged poor take refuge in the
poor house, and the aged rich go to
the senate.
Every farm should in reality be
a factory, and the chief end and
aim of every farmer should be to
work the produce of the farm into
perfectly finished products before
seeking a market. Butter, eggs,
wool and meat are finished pro-
ducts. Farms run upon this
s 3heduie will never run down or
grow weak in fertility.
It is a very easy matter to raise
a laugh at the expense of the coun-
try newspaper ; but just transplant
a city journalist to some small
town and set to work as editor-in-
chief, proprietor, business manager
book keeper, reporter, proof reader,
advertisement solicitor, compositor
and devil on the Slabtown Slasher,
and see how soon the laugh will be
on the other side of the fence.
The death rate of Ontario was
very low last year, according to a
table compiled by the provincial
health. office. There were all told,
25,241 deaths, or an average of 11.5
per thousand. Following are the
total deaths during the year from
contagious diseases :—Scarlatina,
131 ; diptheria, 121; typhoid. fever,
535: and tuberculosis, 2,346. Sep-
tember had the largest number of
deaths, reaching 2,4C0.
With the late Queen the House
of Guelph or Hanover ceases to
occupythe throne of Great Britain,
which has been in its possession
since 1714. The new dynasty. will
be called after the late Prince Con-
sort and will be the House of
Whetton of Saxe Cobourg, The
House of Normandy occupied the
throne from 1066 to 1154 ; the House
of Plantagenet, 1154-1399 ; the
House of York, 1461-1455 ; the
House of Tuder, 1455-1603 ; the
House of Stuart, 1603-1714 ; and the
House of Hanover, 1741-1901.
For heating and lighting purpos-
es in Essex county the gas supply,
under proper supervision, would
doubtless have lasted a century, or
perhaps forever. Instead of a per-
manent industry, therefore, the
greed of the few people has des-
troyed it and made the enterprise
only a temporary one. What
should have been permanent benefit
though a limited one to all the
people, has proven to be only a
temporary means of aggrandise-
ment to a few. Public ownership
is surely better than private blun-
dering.—Citizen and Country.
There is considerable interest in
the outcome of the tariff difficulties
between the United States and
Russia. The advocates of a change
in the British fiscal system hope to
find in them some support of their
contentions that retaliatory duties
should be imposed on countries
taxing British products, The St.
James' Gazette says :—"Some Am-
ericans, including Secretary Gage,
appear to think the United States
have the monopoly of the protec-
tion policy, but they have been
sharply reminded by Russia that
two can play at the game of hos-
tile tariffs. As the import of
Russian sugar is a trifle compared
with the exports to Russia, the
present game of retaliation is one
in which Russia holds the best
cards. Therefore she will win the
inost tricks."
Farmers who have hogs fit for
the market at present should feel
well satisfied with the prices ruling.
Por some time past the market has
has been good, but within the past
few days the prices on Toronto
Stock market has become firm at
$6.25 and over per hundred for
prime lots. A member of the Wil-
liam. Davis Company, cf Toronto,
claims that the ruling prices are
higher than the conditions war-
rant. He says dressed meats, such
as bacon hates, are in large demand
on the British market, where the
prices for such commodities fluc-
tuate a great deal. At present the
price of Wiltshire bacon is very
high in,England, and as the packers
and exporters are getting more for
heir goods they are paying higher
es for the hogs to the farmers,
As to tie supply of hogs in Canada,
he says there aro a great many
hogs in the country, but there are
more packers to buy them, and the
affect of competition is felt. This
gentlemen disclaims any knowledge
of the tunalgamation of packers.
The promoters of the village of
St. Joseph have several times made
an effort to secure railway com-
Innnication, but so far have met
with indifferent success. We in
this village have repeatedly made
attempts in the same direction, and
we think if this western country
was properly stirred up that com-
munication could be got. There is
a company at London with' a char-
ter ready to build a road if the
townships, towns and villages along
the proposed route will give some
assistance, and with the usual gov-
ernment grant we see no difficulty
in having a railway from London
to Goderich an accomplished fact.
This territory is suffering for want
of better shipping facility. The
best evidence of the success of a
railway through this section is the
fact that the L. H. & B. branch of
the Grand Trunk is said to be the
best paying line of their section,
and this western section furnishes
fully three-fourths of the traffic.
We can see no reason why a rail-
way, even if it had to be built by
private funds, would not yield a
good per cent. on the capital invest-
ed. We would like to see our con-
temporaries at Godorich take up
this matter, as another line of rail-
way into the county town would be
a great boom to them and a great
stimulus to all this western country.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Nearly 100 gentlemen from all
parts of the Province, who are in-
terested in the beet sugar industry
met in Toronto on Eeb. 6th. The
object of the meeting was to dis-
cuss the desirability of seeking as-
sistance from the Provincial and
Dominion Governments to encour-
age the industry. It was agreed
that the annual consumption of
sugar in Canada at present is about
300,000,000 pounds, every dollar's
worth being imported from foreign
countries. Independent experi-
ments made last year, and in for-
mer years, as well as experiments
made under the supervision of the
Ontario Government at Welland,
Newmarket and Aylmer, and a test
made by the Dominion Government
proved beyond a doubt that the soil
and climate of avery large portion
of Ontario is fully adapted to the
production of sugar beets of both
quantity and quality, equal to if
not exceeding that of any other
place on earth. The association
wants to encourage manufacturers
to start establishments, to create a
market for the sugar beet, and they
point out that the production of the
sugar beet is by long odds the most
profitable investment the farmer
can have. The experiments last
year proved that. after all expenses
has been deducted, allowing the
farmer $1 a day for his own work
and $;2.50 a day for the work of his
team, there was a net profit in sugar
beets of from $50 t $90 an acre,
which was away ahead of the value
of any other crop. Several towns
are already negotiating with capi-
talists, who, it is said, have from
half a million to a million dollars
to invest in the establishment of
the industry, providing the Gov-
ernment will assist with a bounty
to tide over the losses which will
necessarily arise. After from three
to five years the bounty would not
be required, as it is confidently ex-
pected that the industry will be well
able to stand on its own bottom and
its own merits by that bine. A
deputation will wait upon the On-
tario Government to ask for a
bounty of about %e a pounce, with
a time limit of $100,000. to run out
within five years. It is thought
that the industry, once established,
will soon become very important.

FATAL MINE DISASTER.
Sixtyyono Persons Filled.
At Union B.C., on Saturday a ter-
rible disaster occurred at Mine No.
6, Cumberland mines, by which 61
miners are supposed to have lost
their lives. The accident was caus-
ed by an explosion of gas, and fire
immediately broke out and was rag-
ing fiercely for a long time. The
mine was ordered to be flooded, and
as it will take some time to pump
out the water no hopes whatever
can bo entertained that any of the
men have escaped death.

HOUSE OF REFUGE,
The County Council Committee,
which are to look after matters in
connection with the House of Re !-
uge, met in the Council Chamber
here on Tuesday, with Thos. Hayes
chairman, W. H. Kerr, W. Lane
and Inspector W. Cole present ; Jas.
Connolly no doubt being absent on
account' of the impassable roads.
The committee visited the house,
and the improvements which the
Inspector recommended were
thought necessary, viz., the pur-
chase of two cows (to be bought by
Messrs. Connolly and French), the
building of a fence, and the erection
of another outside building.—New

An Orangeville policeman arrest-
ed a sleep walker a few nights ago
who had wandered away front home
in his night clothes "Sure you
are not going to lock me up," said
the sleep walker. "I can't be held
responsible for the position you
found me in, I am a somnanbulist."
"It don't make any difference what
church you are a member of," said
the officer. "Yon cant walk the

King Leopold of Belgium has
been fined 500 frances for violating
one of his own laws by driving his
automobile at a higher rate of speed
than permitted by statute. When
arrested near .Brussels the King
was so effectually disguised by his
greatcoat and leather goggles that
the officer did not recognize him.
When his Majesty removed his rid-
ing "specs" and unbuttoned his
coat, revealing his famous beard,
the consternation of the policeman
may be imagined. The officer had
presence of mind enough to do his
full duty, and was commended for
his act.
Wu -Ting -fang, the Chinese Min-
ister at Washington, did not show
the nice diplomatic tact for which
he is distinguished in his reply to
the Genesee Society's invitation to
be present at a dinner in General
Otis' honour. The Minister declin-
ed the invitation, and so far from
dissembling his real reason,frankly
spoke it out. It was, he said, that
ho disapproved certain features of
General Otis, military administra-
tion in the Philippines—especially
the military governor's exclusion
of Chinese from the islands, Such
bluntness on the part of the accred, -
iced representative of a foreign
powc r was very indiscreet, and
may cost Minister Wu some of the
popularity he had earned in the
American oapital.—Mail Empire.
The oampaai ii -W ich has been
persistently kept up for procuring
the pardon of Mrs. Maybrick is as
likely to produce an opposite effect
to that at which it aims is not, If
the unfortunate women were to be
released now, the impression creat-
ed on the public mind would be
that all that was necessary for a
prisoner to secure a pardon was to
have enough influential friends out-
side to keep up an unintermitting
agitation. Such an idea would be
inconsistent with a belief in the
strict impartiality of British jus-
tice.
AN HONORABLE MEDICINE
That appeals to the best judg-
ment of the best people is Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, the
greatest prescription of Dr. A. W,
Chase, the famous Recipe Book
author. Acting directly and spec-
ifically on the liver and bowels,
this popular family medicine
thoroughly cures liver complaint,
biliousness, kidney disease, consti-
pation and the accompanying pains
and aches. Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills act promptly, pleasant-
ly and naturally. One pill a dose,
25 cents a box.
Texas, which has come to the
front in cotton,.grain and cattle, is
now rejoicing in a strike of oil. A
month ago a "gusher"at Beaumont
began spouting crude oil 200 feet
into the air at the rate of 25,000
barrels a day. The oil is said to be
fit for fuel, not for illuminating.
Some trust will probably get hold
of it, but even this will not deprive
the people of all the benefit of the
bounty of Providence. The census
of 1900 showed that a large propor-
tion of the increase of population
in the decate had been in the south.
It is possible that a solution of the
negro question may come by k flow
of white population into the south-
Stktes, and by their industrial
growth.
