that official is now exonerated and
retains his position --tried, as he was,

against him. It will be in order
for the Post and othor partisan
Grits to make the most of tho
Situation and falsely make charges
against, other faithful public officers to
sec•itre little plums for partisan Grits.
If the editor of the Post would pay
mot E, attention to the shortcomings of
Grit officials in his own section he
would find plenty of material to work
on. Mr. Farrow has come out with
clean skirts and we are glad to know
it, but at the sanie time we very much
regret that those from whom justice
might be exppected have been guilt of
wilfully seefang' the blood of their
worthy neighbors. Such being the
case, what will the borrfd Tories he

UA NADA'$ PUBLIC DEB 7'

The financial record of the tir•st six
inonthsof tho Laurier Administration is
now Made public. The tigw•es publish-
ed in Saturday's Canada Gazette show
the receipts and paytalents that pass-
ed through the books of the Finaruce
Dep:Lrtuteut up till December 31st.
They are necessarily incomplete, but
yyet for purpusesof comparison with the
figures fru• the corresponding period of
Last year they are valuable. The re-
venue for the past six months hits
amounted to $17,452,8.17, which is $169,-
458 short of Lite revenue for the past
six Mouths of the previous year. The
sources of revenue for the half year, as
compared with the corresponding holt
year of 1895-6, were its follows: -
1895. 1896.
Customs .... $9,672,725 22 $9,389,185 25
Excise ...... 4,108,592 45 4,138,U36 98

Total .... $17,6'21,804 34 $17,452,847 72
The revenue for the last month of
the half year showed art improvement
of $50,212, as the receipts for Decem-
ber, 1895, were $2,607,,722_while _those
for December, 1800, were $2,717,934.
While the revenue has decreased the
expenditure has heen increased. For
December, 1896, the Government spent
$2,1112,00.1, whereas its predecessors re-
quired in December, 1890, to administer
the public affairs the slim of $1,910,-
530, or $95,:111 less than the outlay for
last month. This disparity is not
confined to tiny particular month,but• it
spread over the Liberals' experience ill
office. Consequently the returns show
that while the late Government spent
$13,5:35,031 in the first six utouths Of
last. fiscal year, the present Adminis-
tration has expended $11,061,406 in the
first half of the current fiscal year on
consolidated fund.
The Outlay on capital account hits so
far kept within the mark, becauso
some of the works wort" atan ti
stn ds 11
during the early part of the Liberal
regime. Nevertheless the Liberals
spent $1,979.3:36 in the half year, as
compared with $2,148,172 spent by the
Conservatives in the first half of last
year. During the month of December
the Government spent on capital ae-
count $397,881, as compared with an
expenditure of $304,132 in December,
1895, The natural result is an indrease
in the public debt. The net debt on
December 31st was $9256,667,475, and
the debt when the present Govern-
ment. took office was $250,425,310,
The fiugres show the following to
be the financial record of the present
Governinent:-Debt increased by $6,-
242,162, expenditure increased by $526,-
375, revenuediminished by $169,458.

0. K. Frnser, lawyer, of Brockville,
has been appointed member of the
penitentiary commission now sittilIb
at Kingston, Ont. He, is brothel, of
the late Commissioner of Public Wol ks
in Ontario and a prominent Roman
Catholic. It is currently reported that
the appointment was made because of
strong protests of the Rornan Catho-
lics who have felt th•tt whatever
trouble had occurred in the penitenti-
ary was due to firiction between those
of opposite religions. The Catholic
papers and people have been urging
that their interests be protected,

Belleville, Jan. 0.--(8pecial,)-Lieut.-
Col. Lazier, the commissioner appuitlt-
ed by the Dominion Government to in-
quire into the charges of offensive
partisanship against Mr. Tbowas
Furrow, the pustrnaster at Brussels,
has cumpleted his report upon the evi-
dunee. the finding is altogether in
Mr. folk rruW's favol-, as it exouorates 111111
upon every one of the ten charges pro-
ferred agiticst him. It is as follows:--
As to the first complaint, 1 find that
they said Thowas Farrow did, during.
the las; general election campaign fur
the election of ruewbers to the House
of Commons, while 'IV
"19
at a meet-
ing held at the tomo Hall, in the
'1'uwushipp of Morris, ask one questiun
of a'spealcer, speaking in the interest
cif Dr. McDonald, the reform candidal e.
That this was the only interruption, if
iuter'rnptiun it could be called, mime
by hint at this or any other uleetillg,
and was not clone In an offensive
manner.
SPOKE A'1' CONSERVATIVE MEETINGS.
As to the second, third and fourth
complaints, I find that the said
Thoruas Farrow did sneak at public
meetings held in the interest of the
Conservative candidate during the
said electoral campaign, in tho village
of Walton and Brussels. I also find
that oil both occasions he consented to
do so on the nights of the meetings, at
the urgent solicitations of Mr. Dieki• i -
son, tho Consei vative candidate, with-
out any previous intention of speakin .
That at the Walton meeting, Mei•.
Dickinson being' ill,-aud at the Brussels
meeting, Sir James Grant, who
was billed to speak, not attending,
were the. reasons given for his coin -
Vance with the requests to speak.
further tied that his speeches on
both occasions, although in the in-
terest of the Conservative candidate,
were not violent or offensive partisan
speeches.
As to the fifth complaint., I find that
the said Thomas Farrow was not a re-
gular attendant at the vitriolIs political
conventions, caucuses and conlmittee-
rooms of the Conservative party iu tho
said village of Brussels, The (+'idence
establishes the fact that lie was twice
dmring the said campaign inside the
said committe-rooms, but took no part
in the meetings or thu work of the
committee.
As to the sixth complaint I find that
the said Thomas Farrow, during the
said electoral campaign, did not per-
sonally canvas for votes in the said
village of Brussels or elsewhere in the
interest of the Contervative candi-
date.
As to the seventh complaint. This
is a reiteration to some extent of the
second, third and f.)urth complaints,
So far as it is not, I find that the said
rhunlas Farrow did not in his speeches
from the platform nor upon the streets
of the village of Brussels say anything
against t lie personal or political char-
acter of Dr. McDonald the Reform. can-
didate,
As to the eighth complaint, I find
that the said Thomas Farrow did not
attend the annual convention of the
Conservative panty for the East Rid-
ing of Huron held in the Village of
Gorrie on ur about the 11th day of
Maylast.
As to the 9th complaint, I find that
the said Thomas Farrow did not take
part in a meeting called by the local
Conservative Association, at the said
Village of Brussels, in the month of
August last for the purpose of arrang-
ing and preparing appeals against the
Reforni local voters' lists, or for any
purpose. Nor did he attend during
-.the niont11 of-jul-y last, er rat xny tune.,, -
a. meeting of the local Conservatives
to consider the advisabiity of proceed-
ing with a protest against the elec-
tion of Dr. NlcDon4ld, the Reform
member.
NOT PROVEN.
As to the teeth complaint. No ev-
idence was giyen before me to estab-
lish the fact "that the said Thomas
Fau•row has (luring each ain(1 every cam-
paign since he assumed the duties of
postmaster been an active political
partisan and a regular attendant upon
the various conventions, caucuses and
Political gatherings, speaking in the
interest of the Conservative party,"
except, first, that he attended a
convention of the Conservative
party in the fall of 1894, call-
ed for the purpose of bringing out a
4
candidate to contest the riding in the
interest t o f the (,tins . ert•
ativeart his
P v, s
reason for attending, as sworn to by
himself, being 1,hat he understood his
name was to be brought forward as it
candidate, and that lie attended to put
his foot down upon it at once; that his
name was proposed, rand that he at
o
once declined the nmination, and
there is no evidence that he took an
farther part in the proceedings, And,
second, that he acted as scrutineer or
agent of the Conservative candidate in
the McDonald -Holmes election of 1891.
The testimony of the witnesses upon
this complaint being so contradictory,
I find, as a tnatter of evidence, that, it,
hits not been proven.
At the request of the said Thomas
Farrow, I find, and it was conceded by
the complainants, that lie hati b,•e.n it
capable and efficient postinastop,at.ten-
tive to his duties and obliging and
courteous in thedia;charge of them.
Tho- newspapers received from Brit-
ain by the list snail clearly indicate
that interest in Canada, and Canadian
•ttiuir•s is inerpasing in ti -e old Land.
We notice also with great plaasure
that the Dnily Mail, one of London's
brightest daily journals, has it, special
correspondent, touring in Canada at
present, and his series. of excellent let-
ters are most interesting reading. He
has given great attention also to New-
foundland, and in an able communica-
tion deals with the French shore ques-
tion, pointing out the evils and sug-
gestinga reinedy. The enterprise of
the Daily Mall is alr•e'ady'beinning to
repay the owners, for we learn tha,t
its Christmas issue exceeded half it
million copies, and its regular daily
sale is rapidly approaching three him-
dred thousand copies. It must be of
immense benefit to Canado to be fully
represented in its columns.

ing Ashfield had their man in the

would be the same all along the line.
But ye gods and little fishes, there
was a murmur up the side road and
down the concessions when the tele-
gram came that the people's Hugh

town and many swore by the toenails
of Moses there would be spots on the
face of the moon before their candi-
date would be "side tracked" at the
next election. However, there is one
consolation : We have two gentle-

The body was afterwards removed to

Coroner Stephen was notified, but de-
cided not to hold an inquest. A letter
found to -day under a pillow in the To-
ronto House, where she had been
stopping, proved the deceased to be
Miss Jennie Grey, of Midland. In the
note which was addressed to "Sadie"
she said: -"If you do not see me alive
again you will find $2 dollars in my
pocket, which you can send to cry
mother to tiny a pair of hoots or a
