It is one year age last Wednesday since Pretoria was captured by General Roberts. It was then expected that the war would be ended and the Boers thoroughly subdued in a very few months, and soma, more Sanguine, thought the end would be reached in a few weeke. But the end is net yet. The latest news it not of a very encouraging nature. It slimes that the Boer forces still pOaSelf3 much vitality and are still powerful for evil. A force two thousand strong, a few days ago, attacked a detatchment of the British army and a hard battle ensued, two British gunt being captured and several officers and men killed and wounded. The Boere, however, were finally defeated and the guns retaken. Since then, in Cape Colony, another serious attack has been made ind the Boerli have oaritured a town named Jamestown, the British forces de• fending the place having been forced to surretacler, and at last aecounte the Boers still held the town, and had also possession of a liberal supply of amunition and other stores abandoned by the British. Thean are the two moat formidable victories thet have been credited to the Boers for ..everal months, but these are sufficient t s stem thet there is vitality in the enemy+ k .11, and that Lord Kitehener has yet plenty of work to keep him on the alert, and that the end does not oppear to be much nearer than it was a year ago; Although the British forces are numerous, a very large force is rendered unavailing for fighting purposee account cif so many being occupied in pro• tooting ' the railway and other sources of communication. Not Good Advice. It is not often we feel celled upon to differ from the opinions expressed by our very able conternporatsy, the Toronto Globe. We fear, however, that in the following extract, which we take from ite editorial columns of a few days ago, it has permitted its generous insbinets to get the better of its usual good judgment. It says : "Some of the paper] are vigorously at- tacking the Government, as well as membera on both sides of the House at Ottawa, for increasing the seseiional indemnity from $1,000 to $1,500. We doubt if the campaign will:make much impression on the -country. The truth, is that the indemnity ought to have been increased long ago. Probably no man who has sat in Parliament during the past twelve or fifteen years held any other opinion, and -it was only the rich few who could be at all comfortable as representa- tives of the people. To go to Ottawa, to go into politics, has been to select a genteel path to beggary, and most of us know men of good habits who have been practically ruined by that necessary attention to public ditties that one must give who repreaents an important on stituency. We do not think that the seats in the Canadian Parliament should be reserved only for rich men, and the British idea of gratuitous public service is neither desirable nor possible in a demo. cratio community like Canada. It is not so easy to make out a case for the Senate, whose members have no election contests to fight and no constituencies to manage. But it would not be quite possible to diecrimin- ate between Senators and Commoners, and so, as we have said, if Parliament had had just a little more courage we should hnve bad the indemnity increased long ago. " The salaries of High Court Judges and of the Federal Premier ought also to be increased, and one of these days Parliameat will have courage enough to do what knows aught to be done. It is quite true that we have too many inferior court judges but that is no excuse for underpaying tilt:: High Court Judges. We have been wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars in unneces- eery subsidies and unprodhotive public works, while we refuge to spend the few thousands necessery to a proper support of the judiciary and the First Minister, and -reluctantly fix the sessional indemnity at a very moderate amount. And the remark• able thing is that every now and then we grow violent over very innocent and most necessary outlays, and Peet as vehement in defence of much greater expenditures that are far harder to justify." Lazo far as the increased indemnity to Senators and members of the House of Com. mons is concerned, that is a thing of the petit, and there is not much to be gained by crying over spilled milk. But we feel con- vinced that the G -lobe does not voice the sentiments 0 the people of this Province on thiq gnestion, and if au olecti(na v.ein tO take place at the present time that would be made very evident. The inerean can not be justified on any grounds Every member of the House knew what the in- demnity was before he accepted the position, and if it were not large enough to shield him from loss or to remunerate him for his services, he should have declined the posi- tion. Having accepted the position on the existing conditions, he had no right to change those conditions and make them more favorable to himself. There was no compulsion requiring him to make the sac- rifice. Had the Government announced before the dissolution that they intended to inmate) the indemnity, and had they been returned on that understanding, the increase would have been quite proper. But when nothing of the kind was then proposed and every member of the House accepted the position knowing what the remuneration was, they, by implication at least, entered Into a. contract with the pepple to perform the duties of represen.mtive for a certain consideration. But when they got matters so they could be independent, for a time, of those to whom they are reaponsible, they violated that contract 'by increasing their pay one-half, In doing this they ooximiteed an act for which there it no justification;, It is simply a steal, and the fact that both parties uuited to perpetrate the steal makes it all the more repreli nsible. But this atnelgamation does not re ieve the Govern- ment, trom responsiiiility. They are en- trusted with the guardian hip of the publio 1 treaeury, and as such it is their duty to protect it from unauthorired radon of this nature, In aceeedirg Le the clamor of their supporters, the Governm ut made a very great tactical mistake, an although much may beforgotten in five ears, it will take much good conduct between this' and the next general election to '' ipe this one act from the minds of the peo le. With regard to the sala lea of the Superior CourL Judges, that, is matter which is still in the future, and ,o n be prevented if the people but protest st ongly enough. It may be thiat much mone is spent, as the Globe says, uselessly and for which the coun- try gets little or no benefit, But this is no good reason svhy other unjustifiable expen- ditures ahould be medes 'We understand that the judges of the guperior Courts re - i ceive salaries varying from five to seven thousand dollars a year ; that after, fifteen years' service, or if _they become incapioitat- ed for duty from rny cause during that time, they receive! a retiring allowance equal to two•thirds of their !salary for the remainder of their lives. This' being the case, it does seem to ue that this is fair re- muneration, and that they are not eubjeots for very much sympathy. If they oan not get through the world comfortably on Such an alloWance, and leave a 'considerable nest egg behind them, there mhst be sinneti irg wrong. There is not one businese or pr fee- sional man in a thousand who is so well provided for or who condo SO well for him- self, Their duties are nnt nearlYS so honer- ous, exacting or wearing as are the du• ties of threo•fourthe of the business en - men of the country. This • is proven by the fact that a very large major- ity of them live to a very considerable age, Why then should the,- country provide for these men so much more bountifully thau they could have proVided for themselves had they been left to hoe their own row in- stead of having been taken under the protect- ing wing of a bountiful, generous Country ? Or why should they be placed on a higher pecuniary plane thin thousands of men just as good and just as able as they are, in other walke of life ? It is simply nonsense - . to plead that we can not get good men for these positions enlelss we pay higher salaries. Such a contention ie not, certainly, compli- mentary to the Bench as it now exista. Did any person ever hear of a position of this kind going begging,? Are thvre not hun lreds of epplicante for every yakiney ? Aud have not some of the brightest and beat men of our land accepted theseJpcisitions at the present remuneration, and gled to got them, as well they may have been? - All this being true, therefore, why in the n me of all that is sane, should we increaae the pay ? There is even less excuse fel. incr ris- ing the pay of the judges than there was for increasing the pay of members of Pa lia- ment, and it ia ill-advised from every stand- point to urge it upon blue Government; . nd it is doubly illdidvised for BO influenti 1 a friend and adviser as the Globe to do so.

All that ia required to secure its intro uc- tion is a similar reduction in rates. telephone would be as useful, if not m re useful, on the farms as in the towns and H. lages. Mr. Borden, the new leader of the C servative party in the Dominion Parlia nt, has been showing himself to.a,portion of he people of Oatario, and last week held m et- ings and delivered addreitees at Toronto nd other points. The Toronto meeting as held in Massey Hall, and was addressed Mr. Borden, his assistant, Mr. Monk, lea of the Quebec Conservatiee continge and Mr, J. P. Whitney, leader the Conservative party in the L islature. ,The attendance was not ve large, and the enthusiasm did not rea fever heist, but there is nothing very exc ing in politics just now and it is not ea working up enthusiasni:' _Judging from porta the Conservative leader made a ve favorable impression on those who hea him. He is a quiet, logical speaker, who more calculated to effeet the intellect rath than.raise the enthusiasm of hie audieno er t, of g• t• 037- 1 18 • This is his first visit to Ontario a.ndave hope he will take with him favors)) e impressions of the kanner Province of the Dominion. It has been remarked by some of the papers that the big glees of the ponservative party seemed to hold aloof from their leader dur- ing his visit, and that he was attended only by a few of the local lights w ere he appear- ed. This is being contrasted ibh the atten- tions formerly paid Sir John acdonald by those high in the counsels f the party. When he used to take his t were through the Province he was always urrounded by the very elite of the party, w o trod on each °thee in their zeal and anxi ty to do him honor. Butthese critioe eh uld remember that times iehange and cirou stances also. Sir John used to have the istribution of the loaves and the fiehes, nd they were neither few nor small. r. ,Borden, the present leader, has no favors of this nature to dispose of. This makes a difference. Dr. Stewart, of Palmereto , was selected by the Liberals of West Wel ington at their cenvention at Drayton on I' riday last as their candidate for the Le islature. Mr. Jaines MoEwing, an old Tu keremith boy, was a _close second. This onstituency is 0 now represented by Mr. Tuo er, formerly a Patron, but now a staunch a pporter of Mr. Whitney. It ivied to be a strong Liberal constituency, but became emoralized by Pateonism and subsequent di sensions among the local Liberals have beeri reeponsible for its lapee into the Conservati e lines. It is to be hoped, therefore, that better counsele will prevail ; that the Liber la will re•unite their forces under Dr. Ste art and elect him -as a supporter of the Ro a Government. Such a fine constituency as est Welling- tonshould have a more credit ble representa- tive in the Legislature than r. Tucker, *he has not a single qualifioatio to rerminend him for the position. ----- A great deal of •interest i taken in.the Doukhoborisettled in the Canadian North- west, and the progress being made by that peculiar people. The Doukhobors of the village of Vosneseinie, Ass niboia, through one of :their number, have f rwarded to the Interior Depertment a lett r of thanks to the Society of Friends for the assistance they have rendered the settl. re. The letter contains this significant entence which serves to illustrate the pr gross they are making : " Our request is this, that you would not tend ue anythi g else;beeause we are now not in need of -a ybhing. Be at rest, as 'we have already eased the first now possessed of the necess ries of life, and trials and difficulties of sett rent. We are are capable -of canning fer ou selves our daily bread. The fermation of a salt ombine, with a capital etock of $8,000,000, to control the output of -salt in Canada, eh uld te a signal for the ;abolition of the CURGOMS duty on salt, which is five -cents per 100 pounds on selt in bulk and seven and a half cents on salt in bags, barrels or other packages. The revenue from imported salt in 1900 amounted to less than $7,000, so that need not be taken into account at all. This com- bine is controlled by the C. P. R., several of their leading officers being at the head of it. This, like the various other trusts which have recently been tormed in this country, will bear -very close watching on the part of the authorities. They are all alike danger- ous, being fprmed for the one purpose of fleecing the masses if they get an opportnn- ity and gaining power to do so as rapidly as possible. They now control to a very large extent the legislatures and parliaments of the United States, and they are shaping in the very same dikeotion in Canada. Eter- nal vigilenee, therefore, on the part of the people, is the price of liberty. A special to the Mail and Empire says that " if the views of the Colonial Secretary preyed Judici the reconstruction of the 1 Committee of the Privy Couno I will be of a radical char- acter. 14 present Canada is represented on the committee for purposes of Domin- ion appeals by the Chief. Justice of the Su- preme Court. But if Mr. Chamberlain's propoaal is carried out, our reprasentative will be a full-fledged lord, with a seat for life in the House of Peers of the realm and holding office as a member of the Judicial Committee for seven years, at a salary of $30,000 a year paid by the Imperial Gov- ernment." NNie hope the people of Canada will not take kindly to Mr. Chamberlain's proposition. We can get along very well without dukes and lords in this country. The only benefit that would. result froth the proposed scheme would be a large salary for some of our leading men who do not need it, and ultimately expense for the people gen- erally to bear. It le better to leave well enough alone. - The Goderich Star says : " THE SEA - FORTH EXPOSITOR declares the Star traduces Hugger Preston when it says " he has noth• ing to lose in the, way of reputation," and asks for a bill of particulars to establish the charge. Well, it ' was brought out in evi• denoe recently that someone who knew him pretty well eaid he would not believe Pres- ston on oath, and S. H. Blake, K. C., who also knows the erstwhile machine hugger, decliped to accept his evidence in defence of the Government against the Cook ohargee. Seems to us such a reputation does not rank very high." If the Star oan not put up a better defense than this for ite misconduct, it might better have held its peace. That "someone said to someone else at some time " is mighty poor evidence on which to condemn any person and the Sbar should be ashatned of it. It is not true that Mr. S. H. Blake declined to -accept Mr. Preston's evidence in the Cook investigation or at any other time. Mr. Preston gave his evidence and it was published the same as the evi- dence of other witnesses. • But even if Mr. Blake had done eo, that would not have been sufficient to justify the Star in ito ac- cusations. We again ask the Star to state anything that has been proven against Mr. Preston that would justify it in characteriz• ing hitneie " characterless." Stop generalia- ing, Mr. Star, and come down to -plain facts, or admit, like a little man, tbat you have allowod your political prejudices to run away with your sense of Justice and truth, thus leading you to libel a fellow man, whose reputation and standing, so far as you know, are as good as your own, and whose good name is, no doubt, as dear to him as yours is to you.

OBITUARY, —We regret this week to have to chronicle the death of Agnes Hoggarth, wife of George E. Case, of the London road, Hay, which sad event occurred at her home on Sabbath lest, in the 30th year of her age. Mrs. Case had been in ill health for the past year, and although all that medical skill and loving hearts could do and devise was done, she gradually became weaker and weaker, until her spirit winged its flight to its im- mortal giver and home. Mrs. Case was very happily married between three and four years ago, and was in the enjoyment of all that a beautiful and comfortable home could afford, but truly illness is no respector of persond and surroundings, and during the past year the &ceased was called upon to pass through a .nost trying and distressing illness, which she bore with Chriatian grace and fortitude. Mrs. Case was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs, B. Elogarth, of this village, who, together with the sorrow- ing husband and little daughter, feei the sad bereavement most keenly. She was very highly respected for her many excel- lent qualities. The funeral, to the Exeter cemetery, on Tuesday afternoon last, was very largely attended, certifying to the re- spect and eympathy felt for the bereaved friends. Loner, BRIEFS.— Rev.

Cancer of the liver was the ail- ment and despite all that physicians and kind friends could do, the end soon came to one who had scarcely ever known what sick- ness was, Mr. McDonald , wan born in Argyleehire, Scotland, and along with his parents and brothers and slitters left the land of the heather for Canada, in 1847. A short residence in Elgin county preceded their locating ou the 8th line of Morris, where the homested was eeoured and is still in the family. Mr. McDonald settled in Grey township 42 or 43 years ago and took up 200 acres of laud on the 2nd conceseion, from the crown, and 25 acres were purchased later. Here, with his family, he resided up to his decease, transforming it into well tilled fields and comfortable surroundings.

For many e ears he faithfully dis- charged the duties of elder in the Presby- terian church at Molesworth and in the hour of death found sweet peace in the religion he professed. He was not an office seeker but filled positions_ as tax collector, school trustee, etc., with acoeptance. politica Mr. McDonald was a pronounced Liberal.
