Mr.Dalton McCarthy has to a certain
extent broken away from the Conser-
vative party, and there has been a very
lively passage -at -arms between himself
and the' Empire. He states plainly that
if the government cannot read the
signs of the times and see that the
country is demanding tariff reform, it
is wijfully blind to its own interests,
and he will not support it. Of course
it does not follow that he will. support
the Liberltls.
An American predicts that within a
few years there will be commercial
union or a common tariff between allSt
the countries of the American contin-
e. And we believe that the predic-
tion will be verified, notwithstanding
the present attitude of some countries,
,for people are growing more and more
into the only correct idea of the com-
mon brotherhood of man, and to real-
ize that trade restrictions are barriers
which sooner or later must be removed

would follow a policy whish would
make the people to the south of them
the best of neighbors, 'bat,' added he.
'please God they shall never be any-
thing else but neighbors.' What was
that policy to be? It would be well to
wait and see what the new Govern-
ment across the line would do, though
they did not, of course, need to look
elsewhere for a policy. The policy of
the future might be reciprocity with
the United States, but if it was it must
be upon better terms than were offered
tg himself and his colleagues eleven
months ago, when they were asked tb
forget the ties of empire and adopt a
discredited McKinleyism, which the
States themselves were about to cast
off. He had been asked whether he
considered the National Policy perfec-
tion. He replied unhesitatingly 'No.'
He knew no tariff system which was
perfection, and with the assistance of
such bodies as the one he was address-
ing, the Government was prepared to
adopt the quotation on the toast card,
and lop the mouldering branches away.

THE TORONTO BANQUET.
The full reports of the speeches de-
livered at the Toronto Board of Trade
banquet, as presented in the Toronto
morning papers, well repay perusal.
The Governor-General and the Lieu-
tenant -Governor spoke pleasantly, re-
membering the limitations of their
offices. Premier Thompson assured
the country of his belief in his own
ability to deal with the issues before
him. His declaration of intefition to
respect the constitution in dealing with
the Manitoba question may be inter-
preted to mean that he will not inter-
fere with the Provincial law by which
the Government support has beenwith-
drawn from the Separate Schools in
that Province. Sir Oliver Mowat
talked principally a ainst annexation.
Hon. George E. Foster argued that
Canada is highly prosperous, and de-
scribed the construction of railways
and canals as equivalent to the removal
of restrictions upon trade. Mr Van 1>.
Horne also spoke of the cheapening of his m,uries.

On Friday night a destructive fire
originated in the waggon shop of Mr
Geo. Lumley, and before the fierce ele-
ments could be controlled, the black-
smith shop in connection was burned,

there was no insurance.

turned from England, with his mind

mer or autumn apples to the English
market again. The apple business, he
says, will never be the success it was
in England until our farmers cut down
two-thirds of their early fruit trees
and pay ore attention to the winter
fruit.
Commenting on the speeches at the
Toronto Board of Trade banquet last
Thursday the
the Mail said:
"Possibly the most delicately con-
structed speech, and the most humor-
ous of the evening, was that of Mr
Leerier, who is eloquent even in Eng-
lish, which is not his native tongue."
The World said: "Scarce a sentence
fell from his lips during the whole dis-
course that was not the signal for ap-
plause, which: shook the building."
Said Mr Mowat, at the Toronto
banquet last Thursday evening: "Dur-
ing all the time I have been in public
life there has beenlbutoneannexationist
in the Ontario Legislature, and he was
nota Liberal "
In some respects E. N. Orme, of
Clifton, Ont., is a lucky man. About
four years ago he came to this country
with $25,000 and the intention of go-
ing into farming. He fell a prey to
Montreal sharks, and was robbed of
his money. In 1888 he came to Nia-
gara Falls, and secured work at $1.25
a day. In the spring of 1890 his wife
died, andleft him with several small
children to care for. A little later an
uncle died and left him $40,000. He
remarried, and resigned his position on
the strength of his bequest. Last week
he received word that a sister had died'
in London, and that she had devised to
him a legacy amounting to $30,000.
Canada's wheat product is receiving
a good deal of attention in the British
markets at present. Comparisons
made with Western. Americaproducts
as against Manitoba wheat are in fav-
or of the latter. To this end, Dunlop
of Dublin, have • issued a report which
states that while Duluth and other
spring wheats are disappointing, Man-
itoba comes to the front this season.
Manitoba's No. 2 hard wheat has be-
come popular in the English and Scotch
markets. Manitoba's No. 1 and 2 hard
find a ready sale. Prices are as follows
quoting from London transactions: -
Manitoba No 1 hard sold at 30 shillings,
c.i.f. No. 2 winter, 28 shillings.

Some time ago Mr. W..J Deff, of ,Beep • -HOUSE AND
forth became a member of; or a shbscriber
to what was known as The Home Know-
ledge Association. The membership fee
was $12 and among other things the mem-
bers were promised that they could pur-
chase Stationery, Books, &c. , from the As-
sooiation for thirty per cent. below regular
retail prices. Mr. Duff gave bis note for the
membership fee. Finding that the Associ-
ation were unable or unwilling to carry out
their promises, he refused to pay the note
on the grounds that he badnot received val-
ue for it. The Association brought a snit
in the Division Court to reoover tbeamount.
Mr. Duff set up the defence that the Associ-
ation, not being legallyincorporated,are not
entitled to sue in this county. The mat-
ter has been finally decided by Judge Doyle,
who sustains the point 'and gives judgment
for the defendaLt.
Mr John Pepper has lived alone on
his farm a short distance north of Mit-
chell, in Logan, for some time. For
years the old man has been quite help-
less, and could only get about with the
help of crutches. On Monday his son
William, who also resides in Logan,
called upon. him and left him several
days' provisions as well as fuel handy
by his stove. Imagine his son's sur-
prise when he called on his father again
on Wednesday to find him on the floor.

just breathing his last. It is supposed
that the old man had fallen out of bed,
for nothing had been touched that the
son had left on his last visit. The de-
ceased was lying on his face and his
hands; his knees and face were consid-
erably contused from his continued
and fruitless efforts to raise himself up.
When found he was considerably frost-
bitten and quite stiff though still faint-

J. II. McLaren, 25 years of age, has
arrived at Quincy, Ill., from St. Paul,
having made the entire trip on a pair
of skates. He was in need of employ-
ment, and not being able to find work
in St. Paul concluded that he would go
to St. Louis. His worldly effects con-
sisted of a $5 bill and a pair of skates,
and as the money would not carry him
very far in a Pullman car he conclud-
ed that he would make the journey bn
his skates. He left St. Paul at 9 o'clock
on the morning of Dec. 21, and- made
the 568 miles in a little less than seven
days. The skating was very rough
from St. Paul to Dubuque, but he
found it smoother from Dubuque to
Quincy. 'He started at daylight every
morning and kept going all day, seek-
ing lodging at farm houses on the
river at night. He had some rough
experience, and one or twice he had to
skate several hours after dark before
discovering a friendly light. When he
arrived he was tired, cold, hungry and
flat broken. He has postponed hie
