DON'T'DE'G1lAD1; THE STA NDA 111 The evil results of lowering the standard of excellence whether in the moral or material line have afforded )natter for homilies in all ages and in all times. Tho following report from -the London Free Press shows how a former citizen of Clinton, Mr. Mooney, lost quite a sum of money owing to the alleged degra- dation of the pedigrees allowed to be 'registered iu a Canadian stud book.' It will bo understood that properly pedigreed and registered animate, •to be used for breeding purposes, are , admitted free into the United States - and Canada. - The Department of Agriculture at S. Tasbiegto"n refuses to recognize a Canadian stud book ; and. certain mares said to have been registered therein were bought byMr. Mooney for an American breeder who refuat ed to accept them 'unless they were allowed to come into the United States free of duty under the pro- vision of the tariff law relative to thoro'bred animals. Since the passage of the McKin- ley hill the Washington authorities, at the instance of American farmers and breeders, have put a stricter in- terpretation on. what is meant by registered animals for breeding pur- poses. They allege that for many years-' predioue,"'liq colTusian fiii? •tween American 'buyers and Cana- dian sellers, pedigrees were manu- factured merely for the- purpose of getting inferior bred animals into the country. That latterly certain stud books were gotten up -in Can- ada for the purpose of legitimising these inferior or mongrel' bred horses. Tho following is the report of the.caiae referred to, which was tried at the Middlesex Assizes held in London last week : John Mooney, a well-known Western Ontario horse buyer, suns Uriah Shipman, of Detroit, the big goal dealer, for commission and damages on a purchase of horses which Mr- Shipman refused to se, eep't� The defendant -runs a -tock farm as a Little expensive amuse- went—so he told the 'Court= -and having purchased what he consider- ed a prize young Percheron stallion of three yeara• wanted to get ten or fifteen two-year-old fillies to, breed from. He bad a talk with Mooney, who said she was attending fairs in Ontario, and could link ehint slime pretty good Clydesdales or Perch - prone of the Port required, and agreed to do it at a commission of $10 per head, The dispute is as to whether Mooney agreed to get the animals delivered free of duty or -not. Shipman Says that agreement was made and Mooney denies it. However, the -horses were bought, pronoueed all right by a veterinare. surgeon sent by Mr. Shipman to examine them, and thea Mooney took the shipment to Detroit. But the American Government will only recognize two of the Stud Boobs published in Canada, and these fillies happened to be registered in Mae published 'lit Godericli,.that ivas nbt -recognized. Mooney, and a Detroit eusttirti broker named .Alli., ten, went to the collector there, who told thea) hots the ease.-hrtopd, and then .they telegraphed to the Department of Agriculture at \Vash- ington, but the reply wiis unfavor- able, and tate horses hail either to pay the 30 per cent. duty or stay unt. Mr. Shipman refused to take them on those terms, and hence the suit. Verdict for defendant. Commenting on the result of this trial the F'-ee Press saya : 9L a� The rejectioti by the Department of Agriculturel at Washington, of all but two Canadian -stud books leaves a grhat number,of our -horses; that would -otherwise go free, liable to the United States tax of; $30 a head, or 30 per cent, ad valorem. The same may be said with regard to herd books for cattle flock books for sheep and swine registration. None of these animals are allowed on the free list unless they are the progeny of animals registered in either of the reeoguized books in Canada or the United States or England. If the American author- ities recognized every stud and herd book as a standard and the progeny of-suolr animals as therein entered, they would have but a poor guaran. tee for purity of stock ; and they might as well take down their tariff harriers at once. The case of Mooney vs. Shipman that 'waa de- cided in this city slaorates r,leiatly ,that the custom authorities on the Ameri- can side will not allow any animal to -pass for breeding :purposes, no matter how well bred, unless trac- ing registration to soave recognized source. This is what our farmers and stock area should look to, and see that their stock is properly con- nected. In the case referred to Mr. Mooney lost the sale of a whole batch of horses, although strictly for breeding purposes, because their re- gistration was traced to a wrong source, and the custom officials would not admit them without pay- ing 30 per cent. duty. The Wash- ington authorities recognize. no• doubt till Atnerican"registratinns; • and the standard•English stud, herd and flock booke are accepted„and two Canadian stud books. Cana• dian breeders can hardly expect any greater latitude, and they should govern themselves accordingly, and breed only from animals that will pass muster. To facilitate a more general interchange of good stock between the two countries, and do away with a good stock of live red- tapeism,it might be advisable to have internationalregjstration,if tlreprom- inent breeders of the two countries could make definite and satisfactory arrangements. PRACTICAL PROOF. At the Assizes bald in Hamilton last week before Judge McMahon, Alfred Green sueethe Incline Rail• way -Co. for $1.500 damages, for in- juries sttstained through a defective derrick while` plaintiff was in the em- ploy of the company: - Green was the firat witness, and after giving his evidence lie was put through -a Iong and minute cross- examination by Mr. Carscallon. Shortly after stoma tnosii sensation- al incident occurred, which deeply impressed and shocked the court. Green has been _a big, bronzed, stalwart young man, but he is now almost a wreck physically. Re said in the course of hie examina- tion that sine° the aceidont wben- evot he shuts his eyes .he becomes dizzy and falls down. The defense had an idea that Green was ahem - ming, and Mr, Carscallen, with the judge's consent, decided to test the man in the preeence of the jury, Green had said. that when he shut his eyes that Usually in thirty seconds or leas he would become so dizzy that he would fall to the ground. Mr. Carecallen drew a stop watch on him and proceeded to try the experitietrt. "Hold on," said Mr. Washing. ton "let my client got down out of the witnessjbox or ho may fall to, the floor and-hurt'himself." . A.ccot.dingly the judge directed Greon to go down on the floor in frout of the jury. Amid a pro- found silence in the court room the judge told Green to step back three paces, then walk forward three paces, stop and then,closo his oyes. The judge meanwhile left the bench and stood at the top of the steps near the witness box looking down at the man. - Every eye in the court was fast. (Mad on1Groeu-as iso came deliber- ately forward, stopped and abut his eyoe. In a mothont be _changed color, reeled back and, clutching. the rail- of the witness stand, swung -round and fell in a heap on the steps at Judge MacMahon'e feet. Instantly all was confusion. Tho scone was too teal to doubt the genuine character of the man's affliction. The judge directed the windows to be opened. Dr. Leslie and Dr. Husband, who, were in court, cemp forward, and • several constables. carried the man from the court -room. Everybody was deep• ly impressed, for the. steno was quite tragic while it lasted, and deep sympathy was expressed for the sufferer. After being out- for two hours the jury brought in . a verdict for $1,500 the full amount claimed. EDITOIIIAL NOTES. -Congressman - Springer, _chair- man of the committee on Ways and Means, is preparing three tariff bills which he intends to submit to the committee at an early meeting after the reassembling of Congress. Those bills propose to place lumber, salt and wool upon the freo list. The Congressmen from Michigan, particularly the member of the com- mittee, Mr. Whiting, who is a large manufacturer, will probably be ..amataed,.at..-tlte,suggestions. thet- swif t- should go on the free list. The present price of salt in Michigan' is 57 cehts a barrel, and without the cost of the barrel, is 35 cents. The farmers therefore can scarcely com- plain that they are very much op- pressed, by the coat of a barrel of salt, and there is no overwhelming desire anywhere fora reduction of the salt • We commenced on MONDAY, JANUARY 11, To offer our complete stock of - ERL/N DOLS 4 and 8 Fold at 5c. an Ounce, or 80e. per lb.—Regular, 122c. and $1.00. -o — Our stock is larger than necessary.

Brutus Wiman, of New York, who, it is alleged, furnished con- siderable of the Grit ' boodle that was used by the unroatrictedArecipro- city annexationist° at the last gen- eral elections in Canada, not wisely but too well, is out in favor of Mercier and hisboodling in Que- bec. It is earnestly desired by all who wish that the politics of this country shall not descend to those of New York, that Wiman's aid to Mercier may result as disastrously to his Quebec friends and alliea as it'did throughout the Dominion at the last general elections.
