ESTABLISHED 1572 THE WINO iiAM TIMES. 15.B ELLIOTT, PIIBLIMIER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 1904. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Increases juriethction for Division Courts and larger fees for the clerks were asked by resolution at the annual meeting of the Divisiou Court Clerks' Association of Ontario, at the annual meeting, held in Toronto last week. The request to increased jurisdiction includ- es and an extension from $200 to $$100 in the case of signed documents, from $100 to $300 in open accounts, and from $G0 to $150 in torts. The Toronto World in discussing the approach of the election, says that in Ontario the redistribution is said to be worth ten seats " to the Liberals, It says: "Two cautious party men got to- gether the other day. The Conservative claimed a majority of 12, while the Lib- eral contended that the parties would pull out even in Ontario." If the Tories are to have no more than 12 majority in Ontario how can they hope to win? And if the Liberals go to work in earnest they should have a majority in Ontario, and bring it into line with the other Provinces. ---Hamilton Times. SHEEP IN DEMAND. The improved demand for breeding Sheep that has sprung up iu the last few months, as the result of rising prices for wool and mutton, and that promises to continue for some time. is a welcome condition, as a relief front the indiffer- ence prevailing in this country in the past few years iu regard to this useful and generally profitable class of farm stook. The men who have taken an in- terest and pride in their flocks and have given them reasonable care, are unanim- ously of the opinion that no other Wass of stook they have handled has paid,them so well, taking the average of years and the ups and downs of the times to which all sorts of stook are -subject, No other class of stook.regniree so little labor in their care and attention the year around as sheep. The price of wool it is true, has been very low for some years, but it is a crop that no :other class of stock yields and even at present prices, will nearly if not quite pay the cost of the animal's winter board. Wool, like other commodities, has its ups and downs in the market, and the prospect for good prices is now improving, and likely to continue to do so for some time. If the prices for sheep go up, as they are doing and are likely to do, farmers who have neglected and despised them will doubt- less soon be tumbling over each other to get them consistently with theirold-time habit of baying when the stock is high, and selling out when it is low. There are few farms in all of eastern Canada on which a small flock of sheep may not bo profitably kept, and those who con- template establishing one will do well to make their purchases early this fall, as United States buyers are already scour- ing the country for all they eau secure, and a better selection may be obtained now than will be possible later on. Those who have surplus stock to dispose of will do well to take good care of them giving them the run of fresh pastures, and keeping them clean, well trimmed and free from burs, so that they may show to hest advantage and attract buy- ers, when it will be only necessary to let it be known that they have them for sale in order to secure ready purchasers. - (September 1st "Farmer's Advocate and Home Magazine.") The North Bruce Liberal convention was held at Port Elgin ou .Friday and nominated Mr. J. E, Campbell of Hep- worth for the House of Commons. Every municipality iu the coustitueney was largely represented, and a keen interest was taken in the proceedings. The con- test was between Mr. Campbell and Mr. John Tolmie, M. P., the vote of the del- egates standing 83 to 79 in favor of the former. Resolutions were passed ap- proving of the legislative and administra- tive policy of the Liberal Governments NI by Sir. Wilfred Laurier and Wm. Geo. W. Ross. The new riding of North Bruce extends from Kincardine to To- bermoray, and will be the scene of a keen contest when the election comes on. The Conservatives meet at Tara on October 4th to select their standard-bearer. The signs of the times all point to an early dissolution of the Dominion Par- liament. It is not unlikely that the elections will take place early in Nov- ember. But come when they may the result is not difficult to forecast -the Laurier Government will be returned by a majority at least equal to that it has in the present parliament. The reports from all the provinces show the Liberal strength increasing and confident expres- sions of opinion of gains of seats. The removal of the gerrymander in Ontario will restore to the Liberal column many constituencies "lost awhile" through its iniquitous carving up of the counties. - Stratford Beacon. WESTERN PROSPERITY. It is estunated by accepted authority that the average yield of wheat through- out the Canadian Northwest is some- thing over fourteen bushels to the acre. Considerable damage has been sustained from rust, were it not for this the crop this year would have reached the enor- mous total of 67,000,000 bushels. As it is not less than 50,000,000 of bushels will be harvested. The crop of 1903 was 53,000,000 bushels. Wheat in the North- west lastyear sold at G0c a bushel, realiz- ing $31,800,000. This year's crop, al- though 8,000,000 bushels short of last year, 18 selling 85o, which will produce $42,500,000, or $10,700,000 more than last year. Thus we find that fourteen bushels to the acre with wheat hovering around the dollar mark is better than twenty- five bushels some other years. It is estimated that there will be more money paid out for this season's crop in western Canada than for any crop in the coun- try's history.

T .e priza list of the Ontario Provin. olal Winter Fair, which will'be held at Guelph from Delete tar 5th to 9.11, 1904. has just It, on receive 1. After a careful review of the i ules and regulations as enutit d ed in the priza net, we Itotice that the only ieupnrtnut change is with refer- Fmr. s to the Daisy Test. Ia former years the test started on Monday of the week of the Suuw and ended on Wednesday. This nr, essit tsd the closing of the Dairy fa .pare want to the public until the Fair wet; heli over and owiug to the large amouut4 of glarical work involved, the results of the t* st could not bo post- ed tattier thou Fririay. The Manage - meet il:ts wonted iu the iuterest of both exhibitors and visitors by hatiug the test begin on Saturday and end on Mon- day. Visitors will now have access to the Dairy Department during the full time of the show, and the complete re- sults of the test can be posted not later than Wednesday. Arrangements are be- ing made to have individual results posh ed in front of each cow, so that complete information will he available to visitors at the time they are exruliuing the com- peting animals. A substantial increase has been male in tlio atnonnt of the prizes, the offering fur regul.tr and special prizes utektug a total value of $8252 50. This amount is apportioned to the different departments as follows: - Beef Cattle, $1922 00; Dairy Cattle, $12.10 00; Sheep, :1552.00; Swine and Bacon Hogs, $1520 00; Poultry, $1417.50; Pet Stock and Dressed Poultry, $565.00; Total aronut of prizes, $$'3252.50. • It will be seen from the above figures that exhibitors who succeed iu showing win- ning stock, will have ample reward for their efforts iu direct,oash returus. Be sides this, exhibits n4 the Winter Fair have attained a standard for quality which gives to exhibitors the maximum amount of advertising • value. Those who intend entering should now be giv- ing particular atteutiou to the fitting of their animals. Analyzing a Cry. A Bystander, iu Weekly Sun. It is wonderful • how much may be done by the persistent repetition of a phrase. Once more the cry is raised for an increase of protection 0 "Canadian industries." What true Cauadian would not wish to protect Canadian industries to the utmost' of his power? But are not all useful occupations indus- tries, those the of farmer,the storekeeper, the staffs of our banks and financial institutions, of the different professions, of the artisan in all lines,and of the day - laborer, industries, as well as the occu- pation of the manufaeturer? Is pro- tection afforded to all these indus- tries by making them pay the mann- facturer an extra price for his goods? Do they gain anything by keeping alive at their cost any trade which proclaims itself unprofitable by calling on the tax- payer for support? When the protec- tionist is compelled to look not only to the interest of the producer, but to that of the consumer, his case falls to the ground. At least he would hardly be bold enough to maintain that the con- sumer is protected by being taxed. Absolute free trade, we know, is at present out of the question. We most have a tariff for revenue. What we want is that is shall be for the public necessities ouly, not for the private gain of particular firms. Nor should we ever desire to deal inconsiderately with any vested interests, formed under the exist- ing system, unfair to the community at large as that system may have been. We only ask that the vested interests shall not be permitted to exercise a back- stairs influence over the policy of the Government. We have now come to the point of choosing for our future legislation one of the two principles, protectionism or free trade. It is a critical moment in the history of Cana- dian commerce. We cannot afford to bo misled by phrases which present the profit of the few as the interest of the people at large. LISTEN TO OTHERS. The man who prides himself on doing what he thinks best regardless of the views of other people is usually a bump- tious ass who makes lots of trouble for himself as well as for others. "I do not care what people think of me so long as I know I'm'right," said one of this kid- ney recently from the platform of a re- ligions meeting. Just the man whose wife and employees do not take any stook in him may be able to out talk and out sing the highest seraph, but this re- ligion is not worth a five Cent piece with a hole in it. A look in a glass now and then is good for a fellow. it keeps down pride. Give a good deal of attention to what people think of you. Above every thing don't be one Of those fools with orbits of their own who go shooting through spate, and finally Shoot off into space and no more is heard of thein, Dont be above taking counsel, and whet► you get people interested enough in your affairs to give you advice make good use of your privilege. "He that harkeneth unto counsel is wire."-t+Solomon" in The Clanodian Painter and 8 HOW TO GROW OLD. Far from the Storms that are lashing the ogean; Nearer oagh day to the blessed home- light ; Far from the waves that are wild with oomutotiou; Under full sail, and the harbor in sight; Growing old cheerfully, Cheerful and bright; Past all the winds that are adverse and ohilliug: Past all the islands that hired thee to rest: Past all the currents that lured thee, un- willing. Far from the course to the land of the bleat. Growing old peacefully, Peaceful!y and bleat. Never a feeling ot tiovy or sorrow When the bright faces 01 children are seen; Never a year from; the yoang wouldst thou borrow; Thou dost remember what lieth between Growing old willingly, Thankful, serene. Eyes that grow dint to the earth and its glory, Have a sweet recompense youth cannot know; Ears that grow dull to the world andiits story Drink in the songs that from paradise flow, Growing old graciously- , Christian -like grow. -Bible Student. TWIN VICES. Waste and laziness run hand in hand and when you get a strong combination of both you have a rascal. The man who dons not do his stint in the world, and who adds to this crime the waste of the products of others' industry should be made to smart. There are some men 8o lazy and so mean that if it were not for the fear of death they would not work their jaws to masticate their food. These are the drones in the hive that ought to be chased from the hive and left to an honest day's work or starve. It was cattle of this description that the wise man referred to when ho said "The slothful mau roasteth not that which he took in hunting." He says also, "The substance of a diligent mau is precious." To the diligent, progressive, alert man everything is precious. He gathers the moments, the opportunities, and even the mistakes and waste of others and tarns all to advantage. It is known that a Hebrew will grow rich upon the scrap pile. The successful tman is the one who counts nothing as worthless. - Painter and Decorator. No Moro Operations. The day of operations for piles is past for all who kuow of the efficacy of Dr. Chase's (Nutmeat as a cure for this hor- rible ailment. Is doesn't matter what form of piles you have, so long as you use Dr. Chase's Ointment carefully and plentifully, it will soon bring relief and care. Ask your friends and neighbors what they know about this preparation. Manufacturing in Canada. Mr. Geo. R. Drummond, late presi- dent of the Canadian Manufacturers, speaking at the annual meeting in Mon- treal said in part as follows: -Taking stook of the Canadian manufacturing indnstries, the President estimated that not less than $520,000,000 of capital is invested in manufacturing in Canada as compared with $159,000,000 in 1889, He quoted the census returns for 1801 to show that the total production of 14,650 factories, employing five hands and over, was $481,053,375, to produce which 344,095 workpeople and clerks were employed at an annual wage of $113,283,- 146. The raw material consumed in the production of these finished goods was valued at $266,527,858, leaving a net profit to the country of $214,525,517. In estimating these figures only factories employing five hands or over were in- cluded in the census statistics, so that it is not correct to measure our advance by companion with the figures of the 1891 census, which only credited ns with a less number of factories by 585 than we have in the census, of ten years later. In making a comparison of the re- lative importance of the manufacturing industries, the President incidentally quoted the census statistics to show that of the 75,968 -manufacturing establish- ment producing $476,258,886 reported in 1891, no lege than 61,903 employed loss than five hands, and pronged only $107,- 562,163, and a computation on the same basis would give a total production for 1901 of $621,424,750, exceeding in valve by nearly *110,000,000 the combined pro. duction of oar agricultural, dairying, mineral, forest and fishery industries. The wages paid id industrial pursuits amounted to $115,888,146, as against $24,228,516 for agrioultural work, ex - elusive of the' wages earned by the farmers. FACTS ABOUT CANADA'S POPULATION. Canada's population by its first census of 1665 was 3,251. Canada's population in 1763 was 70,000. Canada's populatiou at Confederation 3 1.2 millions. Canada's population 1901, 5,371,315. Cepada's population to -day, estima- ted, nearly 6 millions. Canada began the 20th century with the same number of people as the United States began the 19th. Canada has 40 countries and nationa- lities represented in her population. Canada has 132,101 more males than females. Canada is adding to its population a number equal to the population of Torouto. Canada has more than one-half of the white population of all Britain's colonies. Canada's population on this basis of increase will be 17 millions at the end of the 20th century. Canada has enfranchised 25 per cent. of her population. Canada bas 87 pgr Dent. of Canadian born people, viz., 4,671,815. Canada has 8 per cent. of.British born people, viz., 405,883. Canada has therefore 95 per cent. of British subjects, viz., 5,077,698. Canada has only 5 per cent. of foreign born population, viz , 293,617. 55 per cent. of Canada's foreignborn population are naturalized citizens. Canada's population is 74 per cent. rural, and 26 per cent. urban. Canada has 61 centres of 5.000 popula- tion and over. Canada's centre of population is near Ottawa. Canada's population west of Lake Superior was, 50 years ago, 8,000. Canada's population west of Lake Superior to -day, nearly 700,000. Canada's population west of Lake Superior is 75 per cent. British and Canadian born; 25 per cent. foreign born. Canada's West is being built up by Ontario's sons. In 1901, 121,451 Ontario -born dwellers had moved West. One out of every 3 1-2 enrolled in the census is of French descent. 1,649,361 out of 5,371,375 are of French descent. Quebec Province is the home of 1,322,- 115 of French descent.

During the directoire alarie de' Medi- ci's palace became the center of gov- ernment and Barras reigned there un- der the inspiration of Mme, Tallien. It was she who organized all the fetes and ceremonies which enlivened Paris after the Terror. In 1706 the beautiful Spaniard was twenty-three and had al- ready had an eventful past. The daugh- ter of a financier named Cabarrus, she bad. married at the age of sixteen the, Marquis de Fontenny, been divorced from him in 1793 and bad remarried, a few months after, Tallien, the conven- tionnel. Arrestedo2 May ....,0,1 s 94, she was im- prisoned in Les Carmes, and it was from here that she wrote the stinging epistles to her husband which induced that wavering spirit to dare all in the attempt to set her free. Armed with. a dagger in case of failure and all the courage he could muster, Tallien on the famous 9th Thermidor attacked Robespierre in a debate which brought about the fall of the "sea green mon- ster." The reign of terror came to an end, the prisons disgorged their victims, and Mme. Tallien received from the people the title of Notre Dame de Thermidor. The world was at her. feet, and she daz- zled it by her beauty and her charm, her lovers and her luxury. Even wom- en forgot to be jealous and acknowledg- ed what all men proclaimed. The foI- lowing description is from the pen of one of her own sex, Mme. de Chaste - nay: ti:• ".lime. Tallien came every day to visit Barras. I do not think it possible to be, lovelier than this woman was then. I shall always sec her like a fairy queen among the rest, her beau- tiful black hair coiled simply on her head without any ornament, round her neck a single string of Large pearls. Site wore a white underdress and tunic of ink crepe, and, sitting on the, ground playing with a child of three, the son of one of Barras' friends, they made a group which no classic sculp- ture could surpass." Barras tells us with gre: naivete, in his memoirs, that the "Lille Corsican" only turned his attention to Josephine Beauharnais after a fruitless attempt to obtain favor with Mme. Tallien and that this lady had treated him with great disdain, telling him "she could do better for herself." This account of the affair coming front any other quar- ter would be more credible. A considerable event was now to take place at the Luxembourg -name*, the reception given to General Bona- parte after the campaign of Italy. For this ceremony (Dec. 10, 1797) the court- yard of the palace was transformed into a sort of temple, and an altar to la Petrie erected in the grand entrance hall. The five directors, with Barras at their head, attired themselves as Romans, while Taileyrand, the min- ister of foreign affairs, was prepared with an elaborate harangue. The scene was made additionally brilliant by the presence of many la- dies, whose splendid jewels and rich dresses did honor to the occasion, awhile their eager faces and murmured admiration betrayed their interest in the young hero. Among these groups not the least noticeable were Mme. de Steel and lime. Recamier-"Wit and Beauty," as Napoleon himself named them. Alone of nil the assembly the future emperor had assumed no imposing cos- tume. IIis uniform, that of a general of the Revolution, suggested a character of republican simplicity, while his pal- lor, his gravity and quiet demeanor seemed to deprecate the ceremony of which he was the object. The tone of his speech was equally modest, his theme the pride he felt in his country's scientific conquests and her progress in the paths of peace. Surely no government could suspect a rival in so well disposed a young man. Two years later the coup d'etat of Brumaire drove Barras from the Luxembourg, and the first assembly, which in France has borne the title of senate, began its sittings in the palace. -Hon, Mrs. E.
