FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1894.
The English government has prom-
ised to consider the question of re-
admitting Canadian cattle into Eng-
land. The enquiry will take place as
soon as bulk cattle begin to arrive at
Liverpool.
The action of the Ontario Legislature,
in leaving newspapers at the mercy of
unprincipled lawyers, is anything but
satisfactory. The libel law never will
be right until. it is amended as desired
by the newspapers.
(lb/Mallon is net 1 verytbing
Under the above heading the Toron-
to Telegram discusses the proposition
to replace the lawyers in parliament
by farmers, and reasons that a man's
occupation should not be the test of
his fitness for public life. If he has
not ability, no matter what his occu-
pation, he should not be chosen, 'and
the Telegram concludes with these
words:—
"If no one whose occupation is not
farming is fit to be in Parliament no
Government of fanners, in the true
meaning of the word, can be formed.
A Patron cannot hold plough handles
and a portfolio at the some time.
When he becomes a minister he ceases
tobea farmer,according to the Patron's
rendering of the word farmer. He is
out of farming and into politics. A
politician by occupation, the fact that
he was a farmer can be no recommend-
ation, for many of the lawyers whom
the Patrons denounce were farmers
once."
The Patrons claim that one object
they have in view in nominating can-
didates for the Legislature, is to secure
legislation that will be of advantage to
themselves. What enactment can the
Ontario Legislature pass, that would
be of benefit to a farmer, other than
what has already been passed?
Hon. Mr Fraser has been one of the
best speakers in Canada, and the
failure of his strength and voice while
endeavoring to address the House the
other day, was pathetic indeed. A
man of marked and recognized ability,
consumption has unfor tunately stopped
a" career that has been useful and
honorable.
savings of yeare of bard pioneering, and, ft
is not probable that a single voice will be -
raised against the- grant.
In the Local Legislature the bill to
secure the punishment of persons guil-
ty ot personation at elections was
amended by the addition of a clause
making the offence punishable by im-
prisonment as well as by fine.
Mr Mulock has introduced a bill to
fix the salary of the Governor-Gener-
al. He dwelt upon what he termed
the excessive cost of the office, which
has been $114,000 a year since confed-
eration. The bill provides for a re-
duction ot the Governor -General's
salary by one half, or a reduction to
$00of, to the takeeffect
incumbent's expira-
tion on the erm
of office.
Borne of those N. P. organs that are so
caricas to know what the Liberals will do
by way of reforming the tariff when they
go into office after next election, are respect-
fully informed that the favoritism will go.
Liberals believed in fair play to all. When
an article ie made tree of duty it will be
equally free to all the people, not for e
chosen few, as under Mr Foster's tarifft
Law should be founded in jaetioe and equi-
ty.—Hamilton Times.
Hon C. E. Fraser appears to have charg-
ed the Province 'but $350 fur his entire
travelling expenses last year. This may
be extravagant, butif it is what then shall
we say of the action of Hon. John Coatigan
in charging the country $120 for cab hire
alone and of Hon T. Mayne Daly in draw
ing upon the public treasury to the extent
of $273 for the same purpose? This ie one
case wherein it seems as if the Provincial
Ministry would be justified in defending
themselves by comparison with Ottawa.—
Toronto News.
To Trade with Canada.
W. D. Washburn, an American Senator,
speaking in Congress the other day said:—
"The laws of nature and the laws of trade
require Canada to come to the markets of
the United Suttee to purchase what she re-
quires and to sell what she has to dispose
of, and in spite of the tremendous influence
exercised by the officials and oommeroial
organs of England, in spite of the enorm-
ous amount of English capital invested in
the Dominion, in apite of restraint
that is placed upon the people by the Gov-
ernment, and in spite of the heavy duties
they levy upon our products, nearly half of
their trade is with us. Their exporte us-
ually reach the sum of $100,000,000. Of
this Great Britain takes about one-half,
the United States about 40 per cent, the
West Indies 8 per cent and the balance is
divided between other counties in Europe.
There is no question, he said, th t England
will consent to any ooinmerctal arrange-
ment that may be negotiated by the Uni-
ted States and Canada, although she will
do it reluctantly, as she did in the West
Indies. He closed by strongly recommend-
ing a commercial arrangement with
Canada.
The Toronto News starts a rumor
and then contradicts it to the 'effect;'
that Peter Ryan, registrar of Toronto,
will succeed the Hon. C. F. Fraser in
the Ontario Cabinet. We venture the
prodiction that if a co -religionist of Mr
Fraser is appointed that man will be
Mr Hartry, of Kingston; if not, it will
be Mr W. D. Balfour, of Amherst -
burg.
Dr. Mallory, Registrar of East Nor-
thumberland, according to his own
evidence before the Public Accounts
Committee, is hardly complying with
the registration act, for in addition to
his duties as Registrar the doctor
managed a drug store, kept up an in-
terest in a newspaper and earned $1500
in his medical practice. Mr Mallory
should be either Registrar or Doctor,
but he should not be both.
The Liberals have been trying their
best to have witnesses before the Pub-
lic Accounts Committee at Ottawa ex-
amined under oath, but members of
. the Government strenuously opposed
it. The Liberals have fought the )nat-
ter every day, and on Tuesday they
succeeded in their contention, but not
until a couple of Conservative mem-
bers strongly denounced the action- of
the Government in its opposition.
A Free Trade Senator.
Senator C. A. Boulton, of Manitoba, who
is a Conservative, addressed a large and
representative gathering of the various
trade unions in the city at Labor Hall,
Ottawa, on Saturday evening, upon the ef-
fect that free trade would have upon labor.
He said at the outset that the throwing
open of the markets of Canada to the com-
petition of the world would not reduce the
employment of the laboring man, but on
the other hand would greatly increase it in
the production of all our natural products.
There was no probability of .anyseduction
in wages, and the competition in supplying
the workman with the necesaries of life
would increase the value his of wages 25per
cent., and the effect of that would increase
the purchasing power of the masses of the
people and consequently increase the de-
mand for employment among those who are
able and willing to work. In the three
countries Belgium, Holland and England,
which worked under what was called a free
trade policy, the customs duty bore but a
small proportion of the revenue. In the
case of Belgium it bore 8 per cent, Holland,
4 per cent and England 20 per cent. While
in Canada with proteotive features they
were 60 per cent of the revenue, and in the
'United States. =the same. The—effect of
the protective features was to draw from
latter a double or triple taxation, a portion
only of which went to the revenue and the
remainder to the protected classes. This
taxation upon labor restricted the opera-
tions and confined its protective power to
the 5,000,000 people who reside in Canada.
The release of the labor of the country from
taxation would increase its power to pro-
duce economically and find sale fon the pro-
duct of its labor in the markets which
would greatly enhance the wealth of the
country and its domestic trade. •
Discussing the proposal to compel
Catholics to use the ballot in school
elections and the boast of Mr Meredith
that he could have had office long ago
Sir Oliver Mowat said that he did not
know what the honorable gentleman
could do that:he had not already:tried
in order to gain power and place. He
had adobted every policy and princi.
ple in sight; changed so often, in fact,
that even his own supporters did not
know where he was.
As is generally known, Sir Oliver Mowat
is being opposed in his old constituency of
South Oxford by a Patron candidate.
Hon. Mr. Dryden and Mr. Awrey visited
the constituency recently, and addressed
several meetings in the interests of the
Veteran Premier. We notice that at the
meeting held at Innerkip, a Mr. Mitchell
was the chairman. The gentleman made
a stirring address in defence of Mr. Mo-
wat. He is reported as saying : "He him-
self was a Patron of Industry, and he was
proud of it. But he would not for the sake
of the organization nor at the diotation of
its president, forfeit his individual right of
judgment and of franchise. Ho would vote
for whom he chose, and that was for] the
Mowat administration, which he character-
ized as the most pure and economical one
whioh watches over the affairs of any pro•
vince or state."
GUARI:04 AGAINST BURGLARS MAS
BECOME A FINE SRT.
ascent Improvements made in the Con-
struotlon of Vaults and Their Doors—
Boxglare Become Inventive and so. the
World Wags and the Noon Smiles On,
The moat vulnerable part of a vault now
la the edge•gf the door. It is almost im-
possible to obtain an absolutely tight joint,
ORO which will be impervious to liquid ex-
plosivea. The old method of attack was
by powder blowa into the crack of the
vault door. As the construction of these
doors became more perfect this was made
impracticable, Then, the burglar turned
his attention to other explosives and to-
day he uses nitro-glycerine. Nitro-glycer-
ine when warm runs as freely as water. If
the crank of a door is not absolutely tight
the nitro-glycerine will find some small
lodging place in it. When exploded it rips
off the door, tears off its outer layers or
opens a space where a larger charge of
explosives can be used. If the joint is too
well fitted to permit the use sof-nitros-
glycerine and the vault is in an isolated
plane where powerful explosives can be
,used, dynamite is laid against a weak spot
and well tamped. Its explosion either
makes an opening or weakens the walls or
door so that tools or other explosives can
be ween to advantage. With a guarantee
of comparative freedom for operation s
set of burglars can anter a modern vault
in one to eight hours. The shortest pro-
cess is usually by the nee of explosives,
and it has been found that the high ex
plosives are singularly local in effect and
produce very little sound, Hammer and
sledge are . often need, though burglars
prefer boring, with the use of a blow pipe
to draw the temper of the steel attacked.
But the modern construction renders this
sometimes extremely diffioult because of
the high conductivity of iron and the close
contact of the cold steel adjacent. Burg-
lars seldom attempt to make holes of more
than an inch in diameter, and the heat
from the small flame which can be intro-
duced through such a hole is quickly dis-
sipated. Sometimes the burglar bore
through the soft metal and breaks the in-
tervening sheets of hard metal with the
blows of a hammer, removing the metal
piecemeal It is estimated that an expert
with finely tempered tools will work
through an inch of a vault wall in an
hour. It sometimes happens, though, that
an inexpert burglar abandons a job after
penetrating the outer layer of steel be-
cause his poorly tempered tools were all
dulled in the attempt.
SCENE IN THE LORDS.
The House of Lords was startled Friday
night by a acene,quite unparalleled in its
history. The House was suddenly, amazed
by the spectacle of the noble peer standing
with a pistol) levelled at the head of Lcrd
Salisbury. This dramatic situation was
the climax of a queer speech by Lord
Stanley, Canada's ex -Governor General,
who was advocating the bill to restrict the
sale of firearms. No dealer was to sell
a pistol except to the holder of a game
license, and married women were to be de-
barred from having the license under any
conditions, husbands being outside the de-
finition of fair play within the meaning of
the bill. As Lord Stanley gravely explain-
ed the provision of this bill the House
What a pity that br•ieht, clever men roared with laughter, and there was not
will destroy their own usefulness by
their hhbits. An English telegram
says ;that only private pressure has
prevented the Paddington electors
from holding a meeting to express
their opinion of their representative,
Lord Randolph Churchill. At least it
is certain that be will not be elected
again. Papers there speak guardedly
.of Churchill's altered demeanor, but
the fact is, he keeps drunk now practi-
cally all the while, and has become
both physically and mentally a wreck,
and is a nuisance in the House.
MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
To the Editorof the Clinton New Era.
We notice that the council of Mitchell
has appropriated one hundred dollars for
tree planting. Our citizens have done the
tree planting themselves, and it is the duty
of our council to see that the trees are kept
in order, so that there may be something
like regularity in pruning, and have them
at or near regular distances apart. A not-
ice has been issued by the Board of Health
to clean up our cellars, yards, etc., and to
see that oar drains to the sewers are open.
As we have no sewers proper, and the
water courses are made into sewers, and
many run their cellar drains into the water
courses, are not the cellar drains liable to
conduct bad smells into the dwellings, be-
cause very few have traps ate, the drains
from their cellars; would it not be better to
close up the cellar drain in the Bummer
time, those who run their kitchen water
into the cellar drain, and if it is not trap•
ped, they had better throw the water on
the gardens, than have the sewer gas come
into the kitchen. Many of our citizens are
busy cleaning up their lots; we hope that
all will attend to it, as nothing will im•
prove the loos of our town more. The
Inspector m- I. remove those lamp posts,
in a short e, with a man and a dray.
We notice atsome youths have air guns,
and the is a heavy tine for having them
in the possession, Parties-s;llowing plum
trees with the black knot to stand are liable
to a fine of five dollars. It would improve
the entrance to the town hall and landing
if the scribbling was painted over and the
habit stopped. W. C. SEARLE.
a dry eye either on the Ministerial or the
Opposition side. The beauty of the Mesa -
tion was that the nohle Lord was in dead
earnest throughout. He produced two small
boys as dreadful examples of the present
laxity. One had recently shot the other
seriously. Then Lord Stanley produced
deadly weapons from various pockets, and
finally a murmur of surprise caused Lord
Salisbury to look up from the letter he was
reading, when he found himself confronting
the barrel of a pistol with 'a finger on the
trigger. The leader of the Opposition
shrank back and exolaimed harrmdly to
the excited epeakor, "Keep the point down-
ward." Lord Stanley obligingly lowered
the weapon and handed it to the Prime
Minister.
Mr Joseph Stratford, President of
the Brant County Patrons of Industry,
took the platform the other day in the
interest of Hon. Mr Hardy, and in the
course of his address said :—That while
he advocated strongly that Patrons
and farmers should have full represen-
tation in the legislative hulls of this
country, he was very clear in his con-
victions that there was no necessity to
ever attempt to overthrow the Ontario
Government, or many of the able men
who occupied positions as Cabinet
Ministers, and he asked all good Pat-
rons and farmers in his own county
not to be misled by a few, agitators,
who were again stirring this thing up,
and who really had not•the farmers'
honest interests at heart, and who had
done little or nothing for the great
cause, or for the farmers' company at
Brantford that he had the honor of
representing as President.

These Instltntions Were In Existence
500 Years Before Christ,
The first real hospital was one situated
at Epidaurus, and dedicated to 2Esonlapias.
This hospital was in full working order
500 years before Christ. It consisted
not only of a general hospital, but of two
apeoial hospitals in addition. The Temple
proper contained accommodation for ordin-
ary or saute oases, and also a hydropithio
establishment. In separate buildings
were a lying-in hospital and a chronic
hospital, and to the latter the aged and in-
firm, and those believed to be in artio:lo
mortis, were admitted: The priests of
Saturn in Egypt treated people for lunacy
1,500 years before Christ. Thralast fact is
important, becanee we find that under
them lunacy wasconsidered as a disease
not to be repressed, but as one to be over-
come by kindness and skilled treatment;
and the temples of Saturn combined muoh
that is now to be met in many of our best
lunatic asylum's. These hospitals and
asylums were founded on the pay prinoi•
ple, for no one who resorted to them had
so little self-respect as to desire to obtain
tree medical relief, and all took care to
compensate those at whose hands they re-
ceived treatment and benefit.
There were home hospitals at Rome 250
years before Christ, called Tabernnl Medi-
cos, which at first only contained consult-
ing rooms, where the physicians used to
see out-patients on payment. After ex-
perience ft wee found that there were
many cases that could be better treated if
they were constantly under observation.
So rooms were built for the reception of
inpatients as annexes to the Tabernas,
where paying patients were admitted and
treated successfully. This is a very inter-
esting point, because these Taberme in -
