BALL, PROPRIETOR. • ; &ataxia' Rata -Goldwin Smith, in the Toronto Sun, says : "The Jackson affair is vile: that one man only on the ministerial side should have been found to refuse connivance is deplorable ; the electors of Ontario would show themselves • utterly unworthy of the franchise if they failed to condemn any govern- ment which clung to power by such means." -The nomination of candidates for public office by a. direct vote of the people is becoming a leading issue in some of the States of the Middle West. This is the question that has split the Republican party in Wisconsin, the La Follette faction championing direct nominations and the "stalwart" fac- tion opposing them. In Michigan this is the leading issue of the campaign. --After combatting innumerable difficulties on a march lasting eight months through an unknown and hos- tile country, the British expedition under General MacDonald, escorting the mission of Colonel Younghusband, entered the sacred city of Lassa, the capital of Tibet, at noon on August • 3rd, without resistance. The Dalai Lama had fled to a monastery eight- een miles distant. It is reported that he has shut himself up in strict seclu- sion, refusing to see even the highest State officers, and declaring that he will remain secluded for three years. by 471 tons than 113 1002, and the out- put of nickel was greater by 1,053 tons, the prodnetion of 6,008 tons Wing greater than for toy previous year.

Smith, of the Michigan Agricultural College, after five years of investigation of the milk question, publishes the following con - elusions : --1. A cow yields as much rieh milk as a heifer as she willa�as a mature cow. 2, The milk is as rich in the first naoutla of the period of laeta= Hon as it will be later, except, perhaps, during the last few weeks of the milk flow, when the coax is rapidly drying off. 3. There is little difference in sea- sons as to the quality of the milk.. 'While the cows are at pasture the milk is neither richer nor poorer, on the average, than the milk yielded when the cows are on winter feed. 4. The milk of a fair-sized dairy herd varies little in composition from day to day, and radical variations in this respect should be viewed with sus- picion. DV- -Hon. L. P. Pelletier, M. P. P., the Conservative organizer for Quebec, a few weeks ago made a speech in which he placed the political issues of the day above the appeal to his compatri- ots to support one of their own race. For this he was severely castigated by several French newspapers in Quebec, being designated as a traitor to his race, ete. Mr. Pelletier has evidently accepted the challenge, for in a letter to Le Nationaliste, the Sunday organ of Mr. Botnessa's National League, he says -"I profit by the opportunity to tell you that it is my right to ask the electors of this country to judge wren according to their merit, rather than according to their nationality. Your reproach me for having done so. Let ore tell you that as long as I am in 'politics I will continue to do the same thing; and I will try by all means possible to prevent the Liberal party remaining in power by trying to make the electors forget the merits of politi- cal questions by appeals to the na- tionality, the race and the religion to which the Premier belongs." -The prize list of the Ontario Pro- . vincial Winter Fair, which will be held at Guelph front December 5th to 9th, 1004. has just been received. Af- ter a careful review of the rules and regulations as embodied in the prize list, we notice that the only important change is with reference to the Dairy Test. In former years the test was started on Monday of the week of the Show and ended on Wednesday. This necessitated the closing of the Dairy Department to the public until the Fair was half over and owing to the large amount of clerical work involv- ed, the results of the test would not be posted earlier thau Friday. The lfanagement has acted in the interest of both exhibitors and visitors by hav- ing the test begin on Saturday and end on Monday. Visitors will now have access to the Dairy department during the full term of the Show, and the complete results of the test can be posted not later than Wednesday. Arrangements are now being wade to have individual results posted in front of each cow, so that complete informa- tion will be available to visitors at the time they are examining the compet- ing animals. A substantial increase has been made in the amount of the prizes, the offerings for regular and . special prizes making a total value of W52.50. -Says the Mail -Empire: One of the biggest of the deals of the recent ses- sion is the purchase by the Govern- ment of the Canada Eastern Railway for 1)0,000. Two elections have been carried for the Government lay the owners of this railway on the promise that it should be purchased and in- corporated into the Intercolonial. The country now gets a property that is run down and that earns nothing, and $SO0,000 is added to the public debt. It will be observed that when • Ottawa sells anytlfing it sells it at a • low figure; but when it buys it pays the tip-top price. • -A German periodical is authority for the following: The amount of salt. in the sea water of the globe, if ex- tracted, would be greater in mass than the land so far as it appears above the surface. The seas cover t3 per cent ccf the earths surface, estimated at 9.260,000 tGernaan:i square miles. The percentage of ehlornatrium in the sea is the same at all depths. Assuming that the average depth of the sea is a. half •Gernnanl mile, there are then 3.400,000 eubie miles of sea water.

All the members were present. A letter from W Proudfoot Esq, K. C. was react, relating to action being taken by the towalship of Ashfield to compel the county to assume it share fo the damage caused by washout at Port Albert. Moved by C'aaltelon :uu1 Ferguson --that 111 the event a writ is issued by the Township of Ashfield against this county, for loss sustained by washout at Port Albert last spring, that we retain the services of Messrs. Diekialson & Garraw to defend this county against such action. Carried. Moved by Messrs. Spackman and Connelly -that Mr. Kerr be appointed to interview The Hunter Bridge Co. of Kincardine, regarding their bridge contracts with this comity. Carried. Messrs, Glachuan and Partner wait- ed on the council to support claim of Mr. Bartner for loss of horse through defective. bridge. The • matter was finally settled by paying Mr, Bartner $275 in full of claim. Moved by Mr. Kerr seconded by Mr. ('antelon-that tenders asked for in the rebuilding of Zetland bridge with steel superstructure with concrete abutments, be opened by the road and bridge conunittee and contract let on condition that satisfactory offers are tirade and proper securities presented. The work to be done this fall if pos- sible. Carried. Moved by Mr. McNaughton second- ed. by Mr. Spacknomathat the tenders for Black Creek bridge be opened by the road and bridge committee and contract let for construction as soon as possible. Carried, Moved by Mr. Miller seconded by Mr. Connelly, that the contractor ten- dering for the concrete abutments that are now being tendered for in this county, said contractor or con- tractors furnish security by marked cheque to the amount of 10% of the contract price. Carried. Moved by Mr. Connelly seconded by Mr. Spackman, that this council em- ploy Mr. Patterson to assist Mr. Ansley in the performance of his work for the balance of this season, and that he be paid $2.00 per day and expenses as assistant commissioner, when employed by Mr. Ansley. Carried. The House of Refuge committee met to consider the case of John Fos- ter, of Clinton, who wants to be re- ceived into the House of refuge. His application is signed, but since the completion of the application his fin- ancial position shows that he has means of support, and therefore the committee has instructed Mr. French not to admit this party. We advise that A. C. Chrystal be asked by the clerk to inspect the -boiler at the House of Refuge, and if necessary re- pair it. Council adjourned. • That excellent, farmer's paper, "The Weekly Sun," is not political but looks . at things from an independent stand- point. If it has any political leanings, we should say that it leaned to the Liberal side. Yet this is what it has to say in three paragraphs "The Customs taxes collected by the Dominion Government in 1903 amounted to $37,000,Qt10. That was only two and one-half millions less than the Customs taxation of the United States in I861. And in '61 the _ population of the Republic was over five tures the population of the Can- ' ada of to -day." "The improved financial position of Canada is largely due to the increase in our exports of bacon and cheese. The value of the exports of bacon and • hams increased front less than four and one-half millions in '96 to nearly $16,000,000 in 1903. Cheese exports increased in the same time from less than $14,000,000 to $24,712,000. Here ' was an inerease in these two items in eight years of over $22,000,000. But in the same period the Customs and excise taxation was increased by $21,- 000,000. Within $1,000,000 of all the added income obtained from our two chief farm products was taken to meet the additional burden of taxation." "In the closing days of the session, Icon. Mr. Fielding defended the error - mous increase in taxation rind expen- (More which has taken place under the Laurier administration, on the II ground that the country is more pros - perms now than it was when the in Government attained power.
