The cry that is frequently raised about the salaries paid to cabinet min• isters and judges being too large, has its refutation in the much larger al- lowances made to men occupying po- sitions of trust in financial institutions. '."Take for instance the case of Oronhya- tekha, the head of the Independent (' Other of Foresters. He receives a year- ly salary of $10,000, and a few days ago was voted $3,000 as a gratuity for work ;, in connection with the erection of the r,<s. temple in Toronto. The secretary re- '.i:;r, calves $6,000 and the other officers are paid on a scale equal to that of a pro - %j; .vincial cabinet minister. The people out of whose pockets these salaries come are the same as constitute the large body of voters. How is it then, that these people are willing to pay ! = such large sums for work it connect - ',ion with an insurance society, while grudgine. half the amount to the inen who direct the work of a Province -or a Dominion. Premier Laurier re- .ceives $8,000 per annum, and is expect- , ed to pay out of that numerous sums `;icor public and charitable grants and entertaining, while the late Hon. C. F. Fraser, who superit.tended the erection ". of the Ontario 1 ornament buildings in addition to his regular duties. and built what are believed to be the best public buildings in the world for the money, had to get along on $4,000 per annum, and never got a grant of a cent 'from the rich province of Ontario for the bard work he performed ,in con= vection therewith, which cost him his life. It is no wonder that some of the • best men in the country cannot he in- tiueed to enter public life where the re- .'"; wards are so meagre, while much bet- ter fields are open to them in the finan- cial world. It is said that Sir William n Horne, President of the C. P. R., a salary of $100,000 per annum, /Lind we know from a recent publication '."that Mr Hays, manager of the G.T.R„ "receives $45,000 per annum. How do "these salaries compare with those af •:Cabinet ministers—the average of "which for the Dominion is $7,000, and for the Province $4,000 ? And will to body contend that Mr Van Horne, Mr Rhys, and Dr. Oronhyatekha work harder, or occupy positions of greater responsibility, than does Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr Hardy, or any of the judges of the Superior Courts P In borne respects British Columbia is the premier province. It has had 13 premiers since 1871. Sir James Grout, just back from Eng land, confirms the view that the capi- talists of Great Britain are beginning to recognize the value of Canada as a field for investment. Mr C. C. James, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, says that one of the surest evidences of growing prosperity among the farmers is the number of new barns going up through the coun- try. The modern barn is not the shed of former days—it costs money. Let us be thankful for the ne lv barns, as well as the new factories. If the farm- ers were not in a position to build barns, the manufacturers would be un- able to build factories. r 1> Growing demand for young lambs Lambs for mutton seem to be grow- ing in favor in the great markets of the world. There seems to be a demand for all kinds of Lambs. Some markets prefer very young lambs, others the light lambs, and still others like the very heavy lamps. In cater ing for the trade the producers should endeavor to supply the trade with the kind of lambs the market demands, In the United States some buyers will not take heavy lambs, for the reason that when dress- ed they had too much the appearance of old sheep. Young lambs and light lambs are always in demand,and there there seems to pea good opportunity to developa market of this kind. There is a good money in raising money for the Easter or early market. This can be done without any great difficulty if preparations are made for it. To produce early Iambs early -matur- ing breeds should be kept, such as Dor- sets, Soffolks, or Hampshires. The lambs from these should not be kept 1 ill they are eight or ten months old if a heavy lamb is not required. The great advantage of early -maturing lambs is that they can be sold tor the early market, or can be kept later and soln as heavy lambs. The consensus of opinion among many American breeder s is that it pays better to sell Iambs young than to raise them and sell tLem as fat sheep.—Farming. The British Government are thinking Of taking control of the telephoneservice 'of the United $ingdom. The telegraph kysterh' which was one time in private Miihids, Was long ago nationalized and Is now incorporated with the postoffice, Whits. wile also a private enterprise in •bl$•e early days. This form of socialism 0 had the beat results and some day may fie extended to the railways. In t $'case Of the telegraphs, the Govern- nte*/;liiiyo not only lowered the rates, ha they t;erivcd a handsome profit yearly. halite telephone would seem to wee cog' opportunities. Crisp County Clippings Miss Hamilton succeeds Miss Stevens in Blyth school. The West Wawanosh Fire Insurance Co. has been very fortunate during the recent electrical storms, not having lost one barn. Duncan Richardson's barn on the 4th con. of Grey, was destroyed by fire on Friday last, with a threshing machine, the season's crop and a span of horses. During the lacrosse match at Toron- to on Saturday, Wm. Brierley, one of the Seaforth players, was so unfortun- ate as to have one of the bones in his arm broken. Mr Harry McIntosh a few days ago threshed on the farm of the late Lucas Ross, McKillop, the peas from 16 acres of land, making 55 loads, from 3.15 to 8 o'clock, and stopped for supper. Master Percy, the eight-year-old son of J. Smith, of the G. T.R., Wingham, is suffering from a broken arm. On Tuesday he was amusing hitnself by walking on stilts, and in doing so fell, breaking his arm below the elbow. J,Danbylan old resident of Egmond- ville, died in Hamilton on Wednesday of last week. He had reached the age of 78 years. He was engaged in a wa- gon -making business in Egmondwille for many years and left here 10 or 12 yearsago. The Plebiscite Campaign Mark your ballot thus The Prohibition Plebiscite. Rev. W. McDonagh's Arguments in its Favor—the License Sys. tem a Monstrous Thing— Some Statistics. On Sunday last the pulpit of the Cen- tral Methodist church, Stratford, was supplied by Rev. Wm. McDonagh,who availed himself of an opportunity at the evenine service to offer some remarks on the liquor traffic and the prohibition plebiscite to he taken on September 29, The ground on which he based his dis- course was in assuming the negative side of arguments advanced by the op- ponents of prohibition. In the first place he showed that the Bible de- nounces the excessive use of spirituous liquors as a sin, and that sin of every description is prohibited. The law of God doesn't say that it is a crime to drink liquor. By that law naevi( is imputed as a crime. It is the law of the land that designates what is or is not a crime. Hence the man who says that the prohibitionist of the liquor traffic calls that a crime which God does not, talks foolishly. The Bible plainly says drinking is sinful, but that is not why the temperance people .ask for prohibition. It is because it blights and curses satiety. To regulate and restrict an e• it by law tor purposes of revenue is a no,nstrnua thing; it is the legislation of evil for gain,and t he Gov- ernment that toleratessuch a thing per- petrates a base usurpation of power. No nation outside of Christendom tol- erates the drinking habit by license. The Buddhists and Mohammedans knows nothing of such a system. The day when Christian nations shall cease to tolerate a law to regulate crime will come, and in the face of the very em- phatic vote in favor of prohibition re- cently taken in Ontario, the reverend gentlemen expressed surprise that any public print could be found having enough audacity to characterize the prohibition agitation as a 'fad. The editor who thus adds insult to injurj must indeed be a hired emissary of the liquor men. Ths friends of prohibition do not seek the supptession of the liquor traf- fic because alcohol is a poison, hilt he- cause of the evil and injurious effect it has on society. Murder is prohibited by law; suicide is not, and can not be. A man can throw his own money into Victoria Lake, hut he is prohibited from taking another roan's money and using it in a similar manner. In our towns and cities we have what is known as fire limits, and no man is permitted to construct a, building of inflammable material and thus menace the public interest. A man may think what he pleases about his neighbor's character with perfect impunity, but the mom- ent be gives expression to derogatory thoughts that 'moment he leaves him- selj amenable to the law of the land. Again, the liquor men say that pro- hibition will interfere with personal liberty, in that it dictates what a man may or may noteat or drink. 'I his Mr McDonagh characterized as utterly false premises. Prohibition of the li- quor traffic will not prevent a man from drinking what he likes in his own home. The prohibitionists seek to des• troy the traffic, not the liberty of the individual. In every othIn respect ex- cept that of dealing out liquor, the law protects the interests of thecmtnfnunity No man is permitted to destroy his old house by fire in case he wishes to re- build, though that would he the easiest way of getting rid of the old structure. His neighbor a interests must he pro- tected. Disease invades the commun- ity, and the victim is quarantined. Here is a straight illustration of inter- ference with personal liberty, yet here is not one to question the right of the community to protect its own interests in this respect. Other in- stances were also quoted by t he rever- end gentlemen, showing that laws have been enacted against the practise of every act calculated to bring evil upon a community, and all the prohib- itionists want is to have the liquortraf- fic declared eqnally criminal because of its pernicious effect on society. Touching briefly on the question ot revenue, the speaker declared it absurd to argue that the brewers and retailers were contributing an immense amount to the revenue of the county y. In the first place the revenue which went into the treasury was only one-flfth of the total amount spent in liquor, and, sec- ondly, it was the consumer wb.t lurid it. During the past year ,$10,048),000' was paid for liquor in Canada alone. Of this vastlm the Government re- ceived $8,000and the liquor men pocketed $32,000,000, a net profit on the capital invested of about 360 per cent. No wonder Hon. Geo. E.Fisher has de. clared that if he had all the money spent for liquor in the Dominion since Confederation he could wipe nut the debt of the country and have a snug sum left for other purposes. Mr McDonagh closed by referring to the lamentable position of the drunk- ard, his ruined horse, body and soul, and declared that the liquor habit de- stroyed a larger number of lives than war and pestilence combined. In view of all the facts he maintained it to be the duty of every person who desired to do the right thing to vote for the coming plebiscite. Mr T. M. Humble, Toronto, who has just returned from a business trip in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, expresses the conviction that the vote that will be cast in favor of prohibition in the Ft each province will surprise the advocates of that measure, as well as the liquor interests. He states as the retail'. of his investigation that the sentiment in favor of prohibition is much stronger than the people of On- tario have any idea of. This is due to the fact that the church has made no definite pronuuncementagainst prohib- ition, a tact which the workers on that side have made the most of all over the province, The crganization of the temperance forces is also much more thorough than in Ontario, and the en- thusiasn of those engaged in the cam- paign is also more marked. Among the French people the question has ne- verassumed a political aspect, so that those who are on the side of prohibi- tion have no party considerations to weigh in marking their ballots. As for the Maritime Provinces. the senti• relent is so strong there that even the Scott Act is acceptable to the people. There was a quiet wedding on Pat- rick street. Wingham, on Tuesday ev- ening, the contracting parties being Mrs Bessie Smyth and Conductor Ire- land, of the L. H. & B. Only a few guests were present, but the many friends of t he bride andigroom will wish then long life and match happiness. Mr R. J. Richardson, B.A., Stanley. has been awarded a fellowship in phi'. osophy, of $400, at Clark University, Mass., for the coming year, beginning Oct. 1st. This fellowship was awarded as the result of testimonials from the professors in Totonto University,as to the excellence of Mr Richardson's work while a student at that institution of learning. The fellowship entails no work for the Uni versity upon the recip- ient, but is awarded solely for the pur- pose of assisting the holder to study at Clark University. The many friends of Mr John Collie, Bhlevale, were sadly surprised to hear of his sudden death on Thursday morn- iug of last week. Mr Collie had been in poor health for more than a year but had nodangerous malady. On Wed- nesday he took ronoestion of the brain and slept away, dying without a strug- gle next morning. Mr Collie was born in Murrayshire,Scotland, nearly sixty- fiveoyears ago. He came to this coun- try in 1856 and settled in Woodstock. He entered the service of the G.N.R at Beachville in 1868 and had been con- nected with railway service for over 30 years when failing health compelled him so resign his position as agent at Blnevale last December, which posi- tion he had held during the past twen- ty-one years. Many of our readers will (earn with feelings of the sincerest sorrow of the death of Mrs Wm. Taylor, of con. 9, Morris, on Friday, Sept. 2, Mrs Tay- lor was 41 years of age; her maiden name was Annie Jamieson; she was a step daughter of Mr John McMillan, M. P. She was born at Roxboro, in McKillop, where her patents first sett- led when they came to Canada. She was married to Mr Taylor in 1880; they then resided in Hallett; five years later they removed to the township of Mor- ris, where they have resided ever since. She leaves a family of two sons and two daughters, and her husband, to monrn the loss of a kind mother and a loving wife. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and respected b was loved andy all who en- joyed her acquaintance. Children Cry for CASTO R IA. Twenty Stories of Mark Twain. Mark Twain is the next famous per- son to be "anecdotalized" by the Lad- ies' Home Journal, and the humorist's closest friends have sent to the maga- zine for its next number some twenty odd stories about him, none of which have ever been printed. They are, of course, of the droll sort, but not more funny than the "snap -shot" pictures of Mark which his friends have also loaned the magazine. These, too,have never been printed. THE SPY. A spy is a person sent into an enemy's camp to inspect his works, ascertain his strength and report on his movements, By the laws of war among civilized na- tions a spy is subject to capital punish- ment. A state of war must exist before any person can be executed as a spy, and he must, in the first place, be naught inside the enemy's linos. To be treated as a spy it must bo shown that at the time of capture he was in dress other than the adopted military uniform of his country. A soldier caught within the enemy's lines wearing his rightful uniform can only bo held as a prisoner of war. Not every person passing secretly through the enemy's lines need necessarily be a spy. When captured, if the prisoner can show that his errand in getting through was of a personal nature, ho can only be held as a prisoner of war. Trading with the enemy or attempting to enter his camp with letters of a personal nature dons not constitute spying. To be treated as a spy it must be clearly shown that the object of the accused per- son was to gain information for the enemy which it would be to their advantage to know.—Pearson's Weekly. DAINTY TRIFLES. The watch pendent from a brooch of corresponding design shows no sign of waning favor. An attractive flexible bracelet noted consists of seven moonstones set in gold and linked with heavy chain. The collarless bodice—the very last fan- cy in day dress for summer—of course means an extended use of necklaces of ev- ery kind and quality. The tall vase remains the flower holder of the season. A popular form is white or tinted glass simply waved or fluted, Hand- somer ones are richly Cut. The harness belt has by no means disap- peared, and one in white leather with a silver built buckle gives just the correct touch to the fashionable "all white" sum- mer coeturne. One of the new wrinkled belts Is provid- ed with pretty clasps in shaded silver. These are not more than an inch in width, and they therefore draw the wide ribbon down into the narrow band that so well accentuates a trim waist.—Jewelers'' Cir- cular. SANTIAGO DE CUBA.

A Mark your ballot thus The Prohibition Plebiscite. Rev. W. McDonagh's Arguments in its Favor—the License Sys. tem a Monstrous Thing— Some Statistics. On Sunday last the pulpit of the Cen- tral Methodist church, Stratford, was supplied by Rev. Wm. McDonagh,who availed himself of an opportunity at the evenine service to offer some remarks on the liquor traffic and the prohibition plebiscite to he taken on September 29, The ground on which he based his dis- course was in assuming the negative side of arguments advanced by the op- ponents of prohibition. In the first place he showed that the Bible de- nounces the excessive use of spirituous liquors as a sin, and that sin of every description is prohibited. The law of God doesn't say that it is a crime to drink liquor. By that law naevi( is imputed as a crime. It is the law of the land that designates what is or is not a crime. Hence the man who says that the prohibitionist of the liquor traffic calls that a crime which God does not, talks foolishly. The Bible plainly says drinking is sinful, but that is not why the temperance people .ask for prohibition. It is because it blights and curses satiety. To regulate and restrict an e• it by law tor purposes of revenue is a no,nstrnua thing; it is the legislation of evil for gain,and t he Gov- ernment that toleratessuch a thing per- petrates a base usurpation of power. No nation outside of Christendom tol- erates the drinking habit by license. The Buddhists and Mohammedans knows nothing of such a system. The day when Christian nations shall cease to tolerate a law to regulate crime will come, and in the face of the very em- phatic vote in favor of prohibition re- cently taken in Ontario, the reverend gentlemen expressed surprise that any public print could be found having enough audacity to characterize the prohibition agitation as a 'fad. The editor who thus adds insult to injurj must indeed be a hired emissary of the liquor men. Ths friends of prohibition do not seek the supptession of the liquor traf- fic because alcohol is a poison, hilt he- cause of the evil and injurious effect it has on society. Murder is prohibited by law; suicide is not, and can not be. A man can throw his own money into Victoria Lake, hut he is prohibited from taking another roan's money and using it in a similar manner. In our towns and cities we have what is known as fire limits, and no man is permitted to construct a, building of inflammable material and thus menace the public interest. A man may think what he pleases about his neighbor's character with perfect impunity, but the mom- ent be gives expression to derogatory thoughts that 'moment he leaves him- selj amenable to the law of the land. Again, the liquor men say that pro- hibition will interfere with personal liberty, in that it dictates what a man may or may noteat or drink. 'I his Mr McDonagh characterized as utterly false premises. Prohibition of the li- quor traffic will not prevent a man from drinking what he likes in his own home. The prohibitionists seek to des• troy the traffic, not the liberty of the individual. In every othIn respect ex- cept that of dealing out liquor, the law protects the interests of thecmtnfnunity No man is permitted to destroy his old house by fire in case he wishes to re- build, though that would he the easiest way of getting rid of the old structure. His neighbor a interests must he pro- tected. Disease invades the commun- ity, and the victim is quarantined. Here is a straight illustration of inter- ference with personal liberty, yet here is not one to question the right of the community to protect its own interests in this respect. Other in- stances were also quoted by t he rever- end gentlemen, showing that laws have been enacted against the practise of every act calculated to bring evil upon a community, and all the prohib- itionists want is to have the liquortraf- fic declared eqnally criminal because of its pernicious effect on society. Touching briefly on the question ot revenue, the speaker declared it absurd to argue that the brewers and retailers were contributing an immense amount to the revenue of the county y. In the first place the revenue which went into the treasury was only one-flfth of the total amount spent in liquor, and, sec- ondly, it was the consumer wb.t lurid it. During the past year ,$10,048),000' was paid for liquor in Canada alone. Of this vastlm the Government re- ceived $8,000and the liquor men pocketed $32,000,000, a net profit on the capital invested of about 360 per cent. No wonder Hon. Geo. E.Fisher has de. clared that if he had all the money spent for liquor in the Dominion since Confederation he could wipe nut the debt of the country and have a snug sum left for other purposes. Mr McDonagh closed by referring to the lamentable position of the drunk- ard, his ruined horse, body and soul, and declared that the liquor habit de- stroyed a larger number of lives than war and pestilence combined. In view of all the facts he maintained it to be the duty of every person who desired to do the right thing to vote for the coming plebiscite. Mr T. M. Humble, Toronto, who has just returned from a business trip in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, expresses the conviction that the vote that will be cast in favor of prohibition in the Ft each province will surprise the advocates of that measure, as well as the liquor interests. He states as the retail'. of his investigation that the sentiment in favor of prohibition is much stronger than the people of On- tario have any idea of. This is due to the fact that the church has made no definite pronuuncementagainst prohib- ition, a tact which the workers on that side have made the most of all over the province, The crganization of the temperance forces is also much more thorough than in Ontario, and the en- thusiasn of those engaged in the cam- paign is also more marked. Among the French people the question has ne- verassumed a political aspect, so that those who are on the side of prohibi- tion have no party considerations to weigh in marking their ballots. As for the Maritime Provinces. the senti• relent is so strong there that even the Scott Act is acceptable to the people. There was a quiet wedding on Pat- rick street. Wingham, on Tuesday ev- ening, the contracting parties being Mrs Bessie Smyth and Conductor Ire- land, of the L. H. & B. Only a few guests were present, but the many friends of t he bride andigroom will wish then long life and match happiness. Mr R. J. Richardson, B.A., Stanley. has been awarded a fellowship in phi'. osophy, of $400, at Clark University, Mass., for the coming year, beginning Oct. 1st. This fellowship was awarded as the result of testimonials from the professors in Totonto University,as to the excellence of Mr Richardson's work while a student at that institution of learning. The fellowship entails no work for the Uni versity upon the recip- ient, but is awarded solely for the pur- pose of assisting the holder to study at Clark University. The many friends of Mr John Collie, Bhlevale, were sadly surprised to hear of his sudden death on Thursday morn- iug of last week. Mr Collie had been in poor health for more than a year but had nodangerous malady. On Wed- nesday he took ronoestion of the brain and slept away, dying without a strug- gle next morning. Mr Collie was born in Murrayshire,Scotland, nearly sixty- fiveoyears ago. He came to this coun- try in 1856 and settled in Woodstock. He entered the service of the G.N.R at Beachville in 1868 and had been con- nected with railway service for over 30 years when failing health compelled him so resign his position as agent at Blnevale last December, which posi- tion he had held during the past twen- ty-one years. Many of our readers will (earn with feelings of the sincerest sorrow of the death of Mrs Wm. Taylor, of con. 9, Morris, on Friday, Sept. 2, Mrs Tay- lor was 41 years of age; her maiden name was Annie Jamieson; she was a step daughter of Mr John McMillan, M. P. She was born at Roxboro, in McKillop, where her patents first sett- led when they came to Canada. She was married to Mr Taylor in 1880; they then resided in Hallett; five years later they removed to the township of Mor- ris, where they have resided ever since. She leaves a family of two sons and two daughters, and her husband, to monrn the loss of a kind mother and a loving wife. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and respected b was loved andy all who en- joyed her acquaintance. Children Cry for CASTO R IA. Twenty Stories of Mark Twain. Mark Twain is the next famous per- son to be "anecdotalized" by the Lad- ies' Home Journal, and the humorist's closest friends have sent to the maga- zine for its next number some twenty odd stories about him, none of which have ever been printed. They are, of course, of the droll sort, but not more funny than the "snap -shot" pictures of Mark which his friends have also loaned the magazine. These, too,have never been printed. THE SPY. A spy is a person sent into an enemy's camp to inspect his works, ascertain his strength and report on his movements, By the laws of war among civilized na- tions a spy is subject to capital punish- ment. A state of war must exist before any person can be executed as a spy, and he must, in the first place, be naught inside the enemy's linos. To be treated as a spy it must bo shown that at the time of capture he was in dress other than the adopted military uniform of his country. A soldier caught within the enemy's lines wearing his rightful uniform can only bo held as a prisoner of war. Not every person passing secretly through the enemy's lines need necessarily be a spy. When captured, if the prisoner can show that his errand in getting through was of a personal nature, ho can only be held as a prisoner of war. Trading with the enemy or attempting to enter his camp with letters of a personal nature dons not constitute spying. To be treated as a spy it must be clearly shown that the object of the accused per- son was to gain information for the enemy which it would be to their advantage to know.—Pearson's Weekly. DAINTY TRIFLES. The watch pendent from a brooch of corresponding design shows no sign of waning favor. An attractive flexible bracelet noted consists of seven moonstones set in gold and linked with heavy chain. The collarless bodice—the very last fan- cy in day dress for summer—of course means an extended use of necklaces of ev- ery kind and quality. The tall vase remains the flower holder of the season. A popular form is white or tinted glass simply waved or fluted, Hand- somer ones are richly Cut. The harness belt has by no means disap- peared, and one in white leather with a silver built buckle gives just the correct touch to the fashionable "all white" sum- mer coeturne. One of the new wrinkled belts Is provid- ed with pretty clasps in shaded silver. These are not more than an inch in width, and they therefore draw the wide ribbon down into the narrow band that so well accentuates a trim waist.—Jewelers'' Cir- cular. SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
