"Blue Book Literature
•
Many of the reports issued render
- authority of the Government, and
.mown as "Blue Book Literature," are
:far from interesting to the average
Treader, but there are some that are of
iinterest. among which is the Auditor -
'General's report, which has just been
distributed for 1896. The volume has,
for some years past, been the bulkiest
of all the blue books, but this year it is
larger than ever. As usual, there is
some interesting correspondence be-
tween Mr J. L. McDougall, the audi-
tor, and the departments, and the
Treasury Board.
The last expense bill in connection
'with the general election is as follows,
by provinces, there being $214,786
claimed, and $191,219 allowed:—

The amount of deposits forfeitedwas
0,000. The amount expended on bye-
-elections before the general elections..
was $8,025.
On November 4 Mr McDougall writes
the Militia Department, asking what
steps have been taken to recover the
sum of $1,688 on the expenses of the
militia going to Low Township. This
was the township which recused to pay
„E.'S taxers, and the militia was sent out.
To this, Col. Panet, the Deputy Minis-
ter, replies that steps will be taken at
an early date to cause the Govern-
ment to be recouped for this expendi-
ture.
Mr McDougall points out in this con-
nection that the law provides that the
commanding officer shall at once, in
his Q,wn name, proceed against the
municipality for the recovery of suchh
allowances and transport, and on re-
ceipt of the sum shall pay it over to
Her Majesty.
The
Auditor in his reportort
calls at-
tention to Senator Adams having
drawn mileage and part indemnity
t
Y
from both Senate and the House of
Commons for the first session of 1896.
Mr Adams' account with the Senate
was $992 for indemnity, being only one
;day absent, and with the Senate being
Bei -en days in attendance $70. He
drew double mileage, $1.40 from the
'Commons and $140 from the Senate.

Jf anything prevents Mr. Laurier
visiting England iu June, the jubilee
will be deprived of one who would be
its most distinguished colontal-tigures,
The only re',tiprocity between Canada
and the United States that seems pos-
sible at present is a reciprocity of tar-
iffs, though Canada will not cut her
own throat by imitating so foolish a
measure as the Dingley bill.
The fact that four members of the
United States Cabinet, including the
President, started life as country school,
teachers, is a tribute to that noble pro-
fession. The Ministers, however, have
yet much to learn in the school of gov-
ernment, of which experience is the
only teacher.
Writing to the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal Ex-Eresident Iiarriston hints that
a President's pay ($50,000 a year) is so
meagre that he can save nothing. Poor
fellows! Still we haven't heard of any
of them leaving the White House for
tale poor -house.
'All reforms, including tariff reform,
create a certain amount of disturbance
until they are effected. Eor instance,
the American civil war created a great
commotion, but did the result not jus-
tify it? Canadian business interests
may be slightly disturbed by tariff un-
certainty, but it is for ultimate benetit.
The Toronto Junction School Board
has very properly refused permission
to Rev. Mr Ingles to give religious in-
struction to pupils in the schools dur-
ing school hours, holding that it would
seriously interfere witn the regular
working of the schools, The common
idea that the teaching of religion must
be done only in the Public schools and
during school. hours ought to be dis-
courTged. It is a mischief breeding
one, and in a good many cases masjt:s
an ulterior purpose. The really good
work of inculcating morals, cultivat-
ing a kindly disposition and making
the pupils honest, manly men and wo-
manly women is done by the patient,
hardworking teachers who get too lit-
tle credit for their efforts. By example
and precept—a hint here, an inference
there; a word of approval or of kindly
censure—the teachers do well and with
out display more than could all the the
preachers though they were backed by
state compulsion and state text hooks
of theology. Let well enough alone;
much of the outcry for religious teach-
ing is pure cant.
We are told thal Canada is under no
obligation to Britain for admitting het
products free of duty, as Britain does
the same to the United States and oth-
er countries, therefore there is no rea-
son why. Canada should reduce her
duties on British goods. Our main
idea in advocating the reduction of
Canadian duties on British goods is
not, we confess, to benefit Britain, or
to repay a debt we owe her, but to
benefit Canada. First, we think it will
be advantageous to Canadians to get
the British goods for use at lower pric-
es. Secondly, the cheapening of Brit-
ish goods by the reduction of duty will
tend to cheapen goods of Canadian
production, thus enlarging thedemand,
increasing the output and providing
more employment for our own people.
Thirdly, the more we buy from Britain
the more Britain will buy from us, thus
affording the market for those com-
modities of which we produce a sur-
plus. Senator Cox torched upon this
last idea in moving the Address. He
said:
Our exports to Great Britain now ex-
ceed those to the united States by
twenty-one million and in fact exceed
our export to the United States and all
other countries together, and as we
must find the chief 'market for our ex-
ports in the old ltnd, so under a freer
tariff we must increase dur imports
froin England, and in thus improving
return cargoes the tendency will be to
reduce the rates of transportation as
well as to cheapen supplies to the mas-
ses of our people. I congratulate the
this important crisis
country that at p
this matter is in the bands of a Govern-
ment who will deal with it in a broad
and statesmanlike manner.
A RESPECTED OLD PRINTER GONE, --
The St. Catharines Star of Thursday
says:—E. S. Leavenworth died in Solon,
Ohio, this morning.He w ,
nt to Ohio in
October last to visit hisson, E. J., who is
now residing in that town, and intended to
return shortly. About a month ago he be-
gan to fail, and from that time till his
death this morning he has been gradually
sinking. Mr Leavenworth was a young
man for his age, as his early life was very
active, and he continued to find employ-
ment until a abort tune ago. He was 73
years of age, and was born in New Yolk
State, being the eldest son of the late Hi-
ram
b who foundedthe Journ-
al Leavenworth,
in 1826. Deceased learned the printing
business, and after his father disposed of
the Journal in the early '40's to Mr Thorpe
Holmes, he worked on the Toronto Globe,
subsequently going into the job printing
business, which he carried on for several
years. About twelve years ago hie son E.
J. and himself became proprietors of the
News, but the old gentleman's time in late
years has been chiefly devoted to fruit
onducted the New
hisson e
culture. While o ,p
and ran a peach wentto Georgia, a or-

ago. Although he was in comfortable oir-
onmstanees be never wanted to be idle.
Last fall he sold his household effects, an i
hie daughter, Mrs Grattan, who lived with
him, went to Clinton to stay with her
sister, while he went to Solon to visit his
son, and the telegram announcing his death
him
reports
the from
was not a surprise,
during the past month being anything but
encouraging. He leaves one son, E. J.,
and four daughters, Mrs Robert Holmes,
of Clinton; Mrs Chauncey Reece, of Wood-
stock; Mrs Grattan, of Clinton, and Mies
Carrie Leavenworth. He was a life-long
Baptist, and a trustee of the Queen Street
church in this city. He was a successful
printer and businese man. The news of
his death will cause sincere regret in the
community.

Pen S1(eteh of An Huronian,
Valentine Ratz, M. P.
The clever Obtawa oorrespondent of the
London Advertiser says:
"Among the younger generationofM.P'e,
none stands higher with his feliowe than
Mr. Valentine Ratz, the popular represen-
tative for North Middlesex. Mr. Raiz is a
native Canadian, and a level-headed busi-
ness man, who thoroughly oomprehends
the needs of his constituents. His grand-
parents Dame from Germany in 1827, and
were among the picneer settlers—hardy
natives of the fatherland—who brought the
township of Woolwich, Ont., from a pri-
meval condition into a fertile district, peo-
ple3 by a progressive race. The father of
the M.P., though he became a respected
oitizen of Canada, started life without a
recognized birth -plane. He was born on
the stormy Atlantic, while the family were
en route to this country. On arrival there
the grandfather of the subject of this sketch
built the first blacksmith's shop construct-
ed in the township of Woolwich,on the site
of what is now the flourishing town of
Waterloo, and he also successfully formed a
seo•ion of land. In due time the father of
the future M. P. moved over into Wilmot,
where he carried on a lumbering business
for a number of years. Here Valentine
Ratz, now M. P., was born in 1848 He
was educated at the public schools. Though
the language taught was exclusively English
be bad home training in the German
tongue. He learned the lumbering business
with his father, and in 1876 moved to the
township of Stephen, Huron County. In
his new home Mr. Ratz entered into the
work of farming, in which business he has
continued to be successfully engaged. He
is also connected with the South River
Lumber Company of Parry Sound. The
talents ot Mr. Ratz were very soon recog-
nized by his new neighbors, and in 1879 he
was prevailed upon to present himself as a
candidate for the township council of Ste-
phen. He was returned. In thefollowing
year lie was elected as deputy reeve of the
township. He served one year in this ca-
papity ;and in 1881 was returned by• aeola-
mation as reeve. For fifteen years he was
chosen without opposition as head of the
township rulers. In 1886 he was elected as
warden of ttnron County. , This his politi•
cal friends decided that this faithful non
partisan edministration of municipal af-
fairs proved his ability to go up higher with
credit to himself and benefit to the com-
munity, and they nominated him as the
Liberal candidate for the representation of
North Middlesex in the House of Commons.
Though the riding Was gerrymandered by
the late Government to prevent the elec-
tion of a Liberal, the previous Consr-'-a-
tive majority was wiped out, and Mr Ratz
was duly elected. In 1873 Mr. Ratz was
happily married to Mise Mary Yeager,
daughter of Conrad Yeager of New Hain -
burg. ' Today their domestic felinity is in-
creased by the presence of . five children—
two sons and three daughters.

DEATH.—There died on Tuesday af-
ternoon Mr Jas. Colloton, who for the
past, 24 years has been a mach respect-

land, and came to Canada when 21
years of age, settling in the Gore of
Toronto, where he carried on the car-
riage business. 28 years ago he re-
moved to East, Wawanosh, and after
four years moved to Bls th. He died
at the age of 77 years, and was the
father ot nine children, 3 sons and 6
daughters.
LEFT TOWN.—Mr J. McGee and fam-
ily left, Blyth last week for their new
home in Bayfield. He was ,a resident
of this place for 18 years, and in him
we lose a public spirited citizen, and
one who took a prominent part in pub-
lic affairs. For several years he was a
member of the municipal council.
FIRE.—On Friday evening Mr Jas.
Nesbitt threw a burned stick of wood
outside in the snow on his veranda; a
few minutes later he was surprised
when a messenger informed him that
his house was on tire. The flames
were soon extinguished, hut not before
kfair•-sized hole had been burned in
the veranda.
Hullett
DEATH OF MRS. ALEX. BARR.—An-
other old and much respected resident
of this township' passed-- to the great
beyond on Friday last at one p.m., in
the person of Mrs Jane Ford Barr.
Deceased had been ailing for the past
three years from paralysis of the nerves
and for the past two or three months
was helpless. Her death was a quiet
and peaceful one and without any pain
whatever. Mrs Barr was born in Tra-
falgar township, Huron county in 1827
and was married in 1852 at her home
in Trafalgar to her now bereaved bus•
band, who, three years previous had
come to Canada fr on County yro

.years: coneiig to this township five
years after her marriage. Mrs Barr
was a good christian women, being a
member of the Presbyterian church
for over 40 years, and while she was a
resident of this township she was R
constant worshipper at the Presbyter -
church in Londeshoro. Her funeral

ded by sorrowing relatives and friends,

POLITICAL NEWS.
The amount'expended by the Govern-
ment for the suppresion of hog cholera in
Essex and adjoining counties in recent

find out right off whether these Stairs lead
up td office or down into the cellar."
