Lieteet lacfnisse,-We have before us the report of the Inepeotor of Liquor Licenses for tne year 1899.1900 as issued by the Ontario Legielatnre. From this report We glean the following particulars: - The number of hotel heenses, issuedin Huron county in 1874 was 150, in 1899 the number had dropped to 84; No. of flop hoenses in 1874, 38; No. in 1899, 6, From West Huron the government received as its share of fees, fines, &o,, the aum of $2544.- 20 and from Emit Huron $873.68, The ex- penditure for West Huron riding, including office rent, paatage and stationery, print- ing, advertising, witness and deteotive fees etc., amounted to only $58.87 and in East Eluron the expense in that line WAS only 060.02. . To CONTROL THE SALT OUTPUT. -. Another big combine has been for med aud this time is the formation of the Canadian Salt Company, whose app- lication for incorporation appesre rn the Canada Gazette, is one of the pre- liminary steps in a rnOvernent to con- trol the salt output of Vaned% For smile time past it hair been known that wine such movement was under way, and it has progressed to the extent that options have already been ob- tained on a number of wells. The salt industry is carried on at Windsor (where the Canadian Pacific works are lbcated), Wingham, Clinton. Hen- sel!, Seafoath, Brussels, Exeter, Court. wright and Mottretovrn. At one titne the bueinese throve exceedingly, but since the Canadian Pacific Railway commenced business its unlimited capi- tal and modern plant gave it a decid- ed advantage oyer all other competi- tors in Ontario. Of late the industry has languished, and there has been much cutting of prices amongst those engaged in it. Those identified with the new company are Sir William Van Rothe, Messrs. R. B. Angus, II. V. Meredith, Montreal; G. R. R. Cock - barn, Toronto, and D. Bissell, Buffalo. The new -company Will have a capital of 118,000 000 and the consolidation car- ries with it the actual purchase of all the property on which salt mines are located. The minning properties are In good shape, but additional machin- ery will be supplied to meet the de- mand for salt for export, salt eells wholesale in Cenads, for 87 .cents a barrel Of 280 pounds, While the same amount of eat hair $1,10 in the Malted States, "Is t the purpose Of the consolidated company to raiee the price of gait in Canada r coked a re- porter of a promoter of the company, "It is not," was the pOsitive reply. ..Salt will go no higher than it is at present."

The vicissitudes of life find a striking llustration in the person of Mr.Josepli 'Royal. A few years ago he was a pet of parliament, representing a Quebec constituency. From parliament he stepped up to the pcsition of Lieuten- ant -Governor of the Northwestaer- ritories, and those who remember the rebellion there will find that his natne figured prominently in connection therewith. To -day, his party out of power, he is simply a reporter in the Press Gallery, and earns his daily bread as any writer would in btrjlrjng contrast to the time when he enjoyed a competence that ,should have put him beyond want. We haven't noticed that any of the Opposition papers haw charged Sen. atom Mellagh and Landerkin (two recent appointees)°with paying $10,000, or any other sum, for their Senatorial seate. This must be an oversight on their roads, in view of the, slanders that have been circulated by a disap- pointed: Would -be -senator. by are not disclosing any secret, however, .when we say that neither of the gen- tlemen could possibly pay any such sum, if they desired to, for the reason that the fortunes of political war have •unfortunately left them in financial rued, but we are disclosing a secret when we say that neither of them knew anything of the intention to appoint them, until they were notified of their good fortune. , Mr Borden, the Opposition leader, is broader than his predecessor, and has announced his position in reference to religion and national matters in a man - net that does him credit. He frankly stated that so long as he occupied the position of leader of his party, no race or creed question would be interjected into polities. We will do him the cred- it of saying that we think his decision Is the result of conviction as much as experience. He certeinly is not a bigot, and is intelligent enough to know that these questions' have been the bane of politico, and it he can in- duce his own political supporters to follow his example in this respect, his leadership will not have been in vain, Mr Borden should take two or three of his own supporters by the ear, and quietly, but firmly, impart his Own views to them.
