• A !Blast From The North,
Dear Expositor,—I (notice the men
from the eolith ,are discussing the
horse questien, through your col-
umns. I know both Mr. Berry and
Mr. Selene and their Wines and I
con say that their horses ere a
credit to their owners. ,Ari theft are
. quite a number of good .laorees in
this eounty and in the neighboring
county of Perth ,and beip,g in the
benne business myself, I *Fluid sug-
gest that as the South Rieung Show
is to. be held in Seafortle 'this 'fall,
the ,awnets of draught horses cern-
bine and give ten &ottani each. for
prizes to be .offeree for the best! five
or ten - colts from any dr tight stal-
lion. This would be a good thing
for all ooncerned in hors 9 'breeding
and would 'help the show pry much.
It we Id alsohave a good effect in
stenvi g the people •wh have thte
'good breeding stallions.
pi I believe in a farmer br eding the
'horsesthat bring the most money in
the rnarket end that is a Clydesdale
that is short coupled, With heileY
bienle . pd good feet and tytth a good
disposition. A bad tempered horse
is no ,a good' horse to breed frona.
My reasons for giving Mae Clydes-
dales the • preferenoe i that they

famous stallion "Gatley Gold"
from Mr. John Kerr, of Red Hall,

Last year I toffereel a prize of
tee dollars for the best five colts

than - five to compete. The society
not getting the requisite number to•

George Dale, -one of the directors,
wanted botput if this way : From any
/registered horse, NOW1 sir, the colts
shown would'be a. mixture of breeds,

think, theretore, that he Centeneimi
of Mr. ;Dale was injudicious, that is
to commend thee teei colts slaciwn,
must be from a refistered horse,
when the motbers optic colts would
not be iregistered also. It would,a1-
8o, prohibit a large number who
have geed colts from exhibiting, it
registration was required. A man
of Mr. Dale'e size sruld know bet-
ter. Wber ever saw i advertised in a
prize list requiring colts from a
registered stallion ;when the colts
were mot called for ireeisttation al -
std. If pedigrees :are called for they
certainly ',should be required in the
animals exhibited.
e Tin conclusion, I eppe all the owe -
ens will join in the contest for the
Family Prize. It Will be a great
boon to the stock peelers as well as
to the show.. Let competent judges
decide ' welchare the best stock

*An interesting discussion • took
place on the cliscrimmation In rail-
way rates 'en the railways in -west-
ern Ontario. It came up in con-
nection with fa motion to adopt the
report elf the Agricultunal Commit-
tee containing the evidence raf Mr.
Gordon, of Eaet Kent, in which dis-
crimination in :rates. was charged.
In tbe tauree of the dismission Mr.
A. F. MacLaren, of North Perth,gave
instances of discrimination in the
nates of 'cheese and cement. He told
the House ehat freights were 7 cantles
per hundredweight higher an- the
lines north of tbe Grand Trunk main
line than the rates charged 60 or 70
miles south of these points. It was
decided to have the report reprinted
and a copy sent to the Railway
Commission, which body, the Minis-
ter of Railways said, has power to
deal with the subject.
The Minister of Agriculture hes
• introduced and will carry through a
bill to nationalize the live stook
records .of Canada. This is a bill
to -give the Minister of Agriculture
the necessary authority to supervise
the recerds and pieces theeseal of his
department upon them. One of the
results will rbe td secure recognition
of Canadian pedigrees by the cus-
toms officials 'of tee United States,
who are empowered to admit thor-
oughbred :animals into that coun-
try Auty free.
Another bill `af considerable in-
terest, which was brought up dur-
ing the 'week, was that to amend the
Criminal Code, 1892, with respect to
appeals from certain summary con-
victions, and which gave rise to a
leegthy discussion upon another sub-
ject, which was attached to it by
an amendment introduced to the ef-
fect that a race course of an in-
corporated Dissociation shall not be
deemed a common betting house, by
reason ote any betting which is car-
ried on (during the Actual progress
of ra. race 'meeting or by reason of
any reporting 'or registering of such
bets. The mover ot this amendment
said that he believed it had been
the intention of the Act to exempt
race courses. This had been done in
England during the present session
by express terms in the Act. This.a-
mendment was vehemently-opposedby
several members on both sides. They
held that there was already enough
gambling in Canada, and that they
should not widen the scope ot the
taw, ,sd las to legalize other kinds. A
vote was taken in committee, and re-
sulted in rthe passage af the a.mend-
ment by 64 to 34. The bill has yet to
come up for a. third reading, and the
objectionable amendment rwill likely
be the muse txf a division, in which
the votes will be recorded.

There is nothing new or definite
from the seat of war. The Russian
fleet or at least a portion of it is
still cruising about in the waters
:off tbe Cooler. China coast and what-
ever the !object may be teem does
net acem to be any great hurry to
'try and meet the enemy. The Jap-
anese fleet under the celebrated
Togo, is -supposed to be some where
off the coast of Formosa, waiting
until the Russian fleet oomes for-
ward when ;he is prepared to give
them a warm reception. put neith-
er commander seems to be in a hurry
te meet ;the other. It is said there
has been another land engagement
on a :small scale during' the pest
week. The Russian troops attacked
a. sectien a the Japanese army, but
were iriven back with great loss,
three hundred 'Russian eoldiers hav-
ing been found deed on the field
after the engagement. In Russia
things are still in a very ,unsettled
Oendition and the common people are
kept in subjection only through, fear
of the military forces which are
used most unsparingly and otamp
out • insipient insurrections without
mercy. On May day a woirkmen's
proceesion was attacked by Russian
ealdiers and over three hundred mas-
sacred in cold blood witb shot and
bayonet. Suspected pereanewbeteer
male ex female, are tortured in the
most inhuman manner and Kitten on
the moot unreliable and meagre ev-
idence. By sucb means the limp of
insurrection • are kept smouldering
and ara prevented from breaking
out, but this sort of &eye -prism
cannot prove effective for very_ long.
