I Fur another parliamentary term, the people have decided who shall be their rulers. Eleotions are not always satis- faotory, perhaps it would be more ac- curate to say that they never are. The losing side always feels that it would have been wiser if More had support- ed their candidates, consequently the element of satisfaction, so far as they t1inton` Ewvkkn FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1890. The Americau Trunk Lines, through the Central Tratlic Association, appears to be determined to fight the Canadian Pacific for the Chicago traffic until that corporation has been sufficiently humbled to make it quite willing to obey the mandates of the Association. The rates, on westbound grain have been reduced by ten percent, as one very decided step in that direction. The effects of this reduction on the traffic, and of the further reductions which are sure to follow if this fails, will help to determine what percent- age of freight will at the close of the war be permitted to the Canadian Pa- cific. The Interstate Commerce Act, by forbidding pooling, was expected to put an end to these rate wars, and also to the division of traffic, upon a basis that prevents the natural advan- tages of ono route over another from Laving their due effect, but strong as the law is, it has failed in this. The American trunk roads have made the cut in rates at a time when it will in- juriously affect the lake shipping in- terest more than it will the railways themselves. The war promises to be a prolonged one, for as long as they do not get too much freight to carry at a oss the railways can "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." The Australian Penny Post, referr- ing to Henry George's lectures and de- bates at the antipodes, says: Just now, as might naturally be expected, Mr George and the principles he has come to expound are subjected to a conver- gent fire of criticism; but there is ab- solutely nothing new advanced—no- thing that was not foreseen abd an- swered in "Progress and Poverty." The central contentions areuntouched. Where the scientific attack of the Duke f.. of Argyll and the ponderous onslaught of the British economists left the cita- del unharmed, it is not very probable that the pea -squirts of Mr Dibbs or the windy elaborations of Mr Copeland will have much effect. Ten years of ie criticism, such as no volume ever un- .,1?erwent before—ten years of analysis at the hands of men of keenly analytic mind, prompted by all the force of ry professional jealousy, or impelled by the stimulus of personal interest— : have practically decided the question that "Progress and Poverty" is unan- swerable. What Henry George has done has been to carry into economies the same spirit of analysis that Bacon ..carried into philosophy and Newton into astronomy. Fi. 4- ,r; The United States Census has been fairly begun, and if it can be carried through on the lines laid down by them it will be the most eleborate and min- ute measuring of the nation ever under- taken. From a Canadian standpoint, 'perhaps the most important feature of this census is, that for the first time a distinction is to be made between Can- adians British and of ]frenob descent in the Republic and the nature of the Movement of people from the provinces to the States,' will, therefore, be fully elucidated. Tho people are inclined to rebel against the information asked for in regard to their family relations their illness, diseases and states of health, and their indebtedness, when secured by their farms and dwelling. Such statistics, if people could be per- suaded to give them willingly and ac- curately, would be of great use, but they will not be given correctly and partial returns will only be mislead- ing. are concerned, is absent. Of course the victors iu a contest feel pleased at i their success. It is just as natural that they should as that the others should feel disappointed. But the fact that is revealed by the state of the polis, whether pleasing or displeasing, must be accepted. It is a principle of con- stitutional government that the major- ity must rule. That majority may have been improperly obtained, or in- fluenced by uufair methods, or may eveu be a free expression of public sentiment, but in any case, as the majority their judgment must be ex. pected. The Barley Duty. The Kingston correspondent of the Emipre, speaking of the Americau duty on barley, says:— "•The imposing of this proposed duty upon barley means a lose of between seven and eight million dollars to the importers and business men of this city." if it means a loss like that to one city, and we suppose the estimate in- cludes cost of handling, • freight, &c; what will be the loss to country as a whole? ews.

Mre James Hall, of Morris, has a duck about a year-old that has already laid 60 eggs and she is still doing busi- ness at the ofd stand. Justice Rose has delivered a verdict in the case of Stephen vs McGillivray in the matter of the Grand Bend cut, deciding against Stephen township with costs. Mr John Delbridge, of Winchelsea, delivered a beef cow in Exeter on Mon- day last, which weighed 1,925 pounds. This is not a small weight and Mr Delbridge would like to know who can beat it. Mr M. Parkinson, lately teacher of Ryerson School, Toronto, and formerly of the Parkhill High School staff, was promoted by the Toronto Board of Education to be principal of one of the city Public Schools. Mr Parkinson is son of Mr Parkinson,formerly of Exeter. There died at Asheville, N. C., on Saturday, March 29th, Mrs Rebecca Clegg, relict of Jas. Clegg. Deceased was born in Kent county, Ont., March 20th, 1819. She was among the earl- iest settlers of Huron, and for many years was a resident of Goderich. Tidings have been received of the death of Frederick Weise, a brother of Mrs H. 'Lochner and John Weise, of Colborne township. Deceased for some years was a resident of Montana and was well known about this section, where he resided 15 years ago. Ile was a widower and was in his 45th year. Mr Samuel Thoel, of the township of Morris, met with an accident on Thurs. day, by which he lost his life. He was drawing out manure and while on the way to the field he fell off the load among the horses feet and was tramp- led or kicked to death. He was found abcut noon dead, and it is supposed that he lay there most of the forenoon. The two sons of Mr Geo. Smith, of the London Road, near Brucefield, Duncan and William, were boating on the river at Bayfield, on the 24th, when the boat upset, throwing the lads into the water. They would certainly have been drowned had it not been for a gentleman who came to their rescue, and saved them from a watery grave. It is our painful duty to record the death of Mrs Quant, wife of Mr Quant, of Dashwood, which took place on the 24th of May, Mrs Quant has been a severe sufferer for many years, and was confined to her bed for several months before death relieved her of her pain. She was a lady beloved by all, and leaves behind her her aged partner in life and a grown up family. Whilst making bents in Messrs Verity & Sons' foundry, • Exeter, ono day last week, Mr Wm. Verity met with an accident which might have cost'him his life. Two men were wielding sledge -hammers while Mr Verity held the object; and one of the hammers gliding off the anvil, struck Mr V. on the breast. Had he received the blow a little lower, he would pro- bably have been fatally injured. After being nearly forty years out in the cold the Democrats of Rhode Island have at last secured control of the state government. The constitu- tion requires that no candidate for the governorship or any other state office -"'Can be elected by popular yote unless be polls a majority of the totsl vote east, and +hat in the event of no cnn • didate obtaining such a majority the state officials shall be chosen by the legislature. At the recent state elec- tion the Democratio ticket led the poll, but as there were three tickets in the field, nobody had a majority. The D emocrate, however, secured a major. ity in the legislature and have elected to the governorship and other offices the men whose names were on their ticket at the state election. Tho new governor is John W. Davis. The dis- ability hitherto imposed by the con- stitution upon foreign born residents of the state bas been removed and the Democrats expect to inorease their !strength. The new legisla.ure will 'shortly elect a member of the United Pates senate to succeed Nelson Wald- rieb, a Republican, whose term will soon be expired, and it is confidently expected that two years hence Rhode Island's four votes will be cast for the Dgmooratio candidate for the Presi. annoy.

The Government have sent Mr Wil- mot, superintendent of fish hatcheries, to Newfoundlan d to study lobster cul• ture, as the department intend intro- ducing lobster culture in the Mari- time Provinces. Mrs Nicholas Norrish, living in Guelph, met with a painful accident the other afternoon. She was standing on a chair fixing some window curtains, and in getting down slipped and fell to the floor, breaking her right leg just below the knee joint. She was remov• ed to the hospital, where the bone, which got a rather awkward break, was set. An uncontrollable appetite for strong drink led to the death of O. T. Longer - quiet, a merchant of Gowie, Iowa. Longerquist was an habitual drunkard, and all the saloon men refused to sell him liquor. He bought some lemon extract at a grocery store and drank it straight as a substitute for whisky. The stuff drove him crazy and he com- mitted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. What will probably result in a mur- der happened in the Brooker settlement Wednesday night. Two farmers named Jones and Speechley got into an alter- cation about a cow, and when Jones started to take the animal off Speech- ley's farm he was set upon by the Tat- ter's wife and son, who used a pitch- fork. Jones' body and head is frights; fully cut,and his physicians have grave doubts of his recovery. . The price of hay has taken a jump in Manitoba that has almost knocked stock owners breathless. The price is now $22 50 a ton, or $1 15 per hund- red in small lots. The supply is ex- tremely limited and it is reported that one dealer has sent to Iowa for a few car loads. Some dealers were import- ing from Minnesota, but the dealers there now refuse to complete their con - traces at the old prices. The 24th anniversary of the fight at Ridgeway, in which a noble band of Canadian volunteers withstood the at- tempt of a• horde of Fenians to obtain a foothold in the land; was celebrated Monday at Toronto at the Queen's Park monument to the men who fell. The commemoration took the form of the decoration of the monument with flow- ers, wreaths and crosses, and the de- livering of addresses on the occasion by officers and men who took a prominent share in the events of the time. Speaking of the tariff war on which Canada and the United States have en- tered, the Toronto Monetary Times says : "Our Government, in the exer- cise of its wisdom, has oast the first stone, and a hail of stones each bigger than the other may be expected in return." The Canadian farmer has already begun to feel how it works in the egg business. No doubt he will thank the Ottawa Tory gang for their bungling. Benjamin Baumann, aged 6, while feeding a pet canary at his home in NewYork fell from the top ofla steplad- der out of a third storey window, and was impaled on an iron picket of the fence in front of the area way. The iron ran through his arm close to the shoulder, and the weight of his body tore the mangled member from its place and left it hanging and quivering and blending from the picket. The boy was picked up unconscious, and is not expected to live. The Canada Cotton Company's mills at Cornwall have been idle for over a month,and the manager reports that no orders are coming in and he cannot say when work willibe resumed. No doubt, remarks the Ottawa Free Press, the mill has been closed by order of the combine, for the purpose of restricting production, destroying competition and keeping up prices. Meanwhile hundreds of operatives are without employment. The excuse that there is no market for cotton in Canada could not bo offered if we had unrestricted reciprocity, and our manufacturers had access to the markets of the continent. The annual meeting of the Druggists' Association of the counties of Huron, Bruce and Grey was held in Wingham Amongst those in attendance were noticed; DeWitt II.

After concluding the business, the association adjourned to meet in Wingham on a date to be named.

Sterling, grasping the situation, told the lovers to grasp hands and run for Indiana, as the lic- ense was not good in Ohio. The three scrambled over fences. Crossing the line the squire stumbled and fell, but had just sufficient breath to pronounce the words as the angry father galloped up, too late. A large crowd witnessed the race and cheered the bridal couple. The father left without bestowing his blessing. On Saturday a young girl named Fleury, aged 18 years, employed by Mr Pickard, who works with Mr Dup- leseie, tanner, Levis, met a painful and severe accident. It appears that the young girl in questioa entered the tan- nery where a large vat containing boil- ing water for the purpose of tanning leather was in its usual position. She tried to pass the vat, which was sunk into the ground, and in the act of doing so lost her footing and fell into the water. Her screams soon brought the workmen, but when she was rescue l from her perilous position she swooned.

The Quebec Court of Review ren- dered an interesting judgment Saturday in the $20,000 action of damages taken by J. II. Noyes against Le Monde, ou the ground of libellous articles publish- ed daring an electoral campaign in which Noyes was a candidate. The libels consisted of terming hits an Or- angeman and Freemason. Chief Jus- tice Sir Francis Johnson, in rendering the judgment held that the statement of being a Freemason brought against the plaintiff was a true and justifiable one. On the other hand, the charge of being an Orangeman was false, and by publishing it the defendants incurred a direct liability. The court held, how- ever, that no substantial damages had been proved, and the defendant was consequently liable for nothing more than a violation of the law in publish- ing a false statement. For these reas- ons the judgment of the Superior Court granting $500 damages would be reduced by $100 with costs.

The picture is 24x36, and shows a beautiful landscape. In the foreground are the potraits of nine celebrated draught horses. The ownership and the particulars of each horse is concisely given. The picture itself is a very fine original engraving, and is the beet thing of the kind ever issued in America. The best ani- mal artist in the Dominion spent the greater part of six months engraving it. The excellence of the work has certainly proved his ability to be very good. Pictures are offered for Bale at prices varying from $7.00 to $10.00, which do not compare with this in artistic finieh,or any particular. The portrait of each horse is true and life- like. A11 the experts who have ex- amined it pronounced it a master. piece. Mr Weld has had this work engraved to be used entirely as a sub- scription prize. He has generoualy put it within the reach of every farm- er in Canada. Those who wish to ob- tain copies in frames, by sending five new subscribers, at $1 00 each, will receive by express one copy in a handsome frame, either gilt, cherry, antique oak or ash.
