`i"HE :1:10ERAt- CONVENTION.
Tho Renouncement that, Premier Rosa
had avoided to galla convention of the
Liberals• of,Ogtaeio we believe will re-
oeive the hearty eudoesation of the party
Its a whole. If the Premier has in con.
texaplation some new policy it is a wise
MAIM for him to ask for the opinions of
his followers. Such a convention as has
been called for the 23rdiust., at Toronto,
ehquld materially streugthen the party
and thoroughly tamiliarize the dele-
gates froimthe different constituencies
with any new' platform that may be
adopted, The course decided upon by
Mr. Rosa is in keepiug with his energetic
efforts to give the province the best pos-
sible legisletton, Public opinion will be
well represented at the coming conven-
tion, which should be of great ,assist-
ance to the leader. While the Ross
Goverumeut, and particularly the leader
'himself, has been bitterly assailed, the
attacks have been made by a desperate
Opposition; but realizing the folly of
attemptiug to criticize the faithful and
honest administration, the Oppositiou
has raised the or of corrupt, conduct et
elections, on which it recite iv; case. In
this respect the Globe says: "No Liber•
al will deny the gravity of each a, charge.
There eau be nothing in government of
greater impQrtanoe than that the votes
of the electors shall be recorded as they
are cast, and cast freely and uupurchas-
ed. That is good Liberal duotrine, and
every piece of legislation on the statute
books of the Peovince with this end in
view has bean pat there by Liberal Gov-
ernments. That legislation has been
immensely influential iu forming a sound
public opinion on the heinousness of
electoral corruption in all its forms, and
in making the public conscience sensi-
tive'as to such matters. It is not true
that there is any degeneration in this re-
spect. The standard is coustantly rising.
Acts that to -day meet with general re-
probation would, not so many years ago,
have been regarded as smart pieces of
electioneering. It would be doing a bad
service to public life to palliate recent
wrong doing; it is equally bad to stifle
the spirit of progress by pretending that
all our efforts to purify the methods by
which our Legislatures are chosen have
been futile.
Still more unjust is the Opposition
attempt to hold the Government respon-
sible for whatever ocenrs in a constitu-
ency. The Government has furnished
the most ample means of discovering
and punishing wrongdoing. These
means have been freely availed of, and
never has the lesson been more impres-
sively conveyed' that dishonesty in elec-
tions will be ruthlessly repressed than
in the past year or two. When official
wrongdoing was rampant in Ottawa the
Liberal Opposition did not call for the
punishment of Ministers for offences
with which they. were connected re-
motely or not at all. It traced them
right to their doors and compelled a
hostile Parliament to acknowledge their
malfeasance and suffer the consequences.
If the laws against electoral misdeeds
can be improved they should be improv-
ed; but it is not right to say that no pro-
gress has been made in securing pure
elections, nor is it just to hold the Ad-
Inintstration responsible for occurrences
for which it has never been shown to
have had any responsibility. A conven-
tion will have a teadeucy to clear the
air and define the attitude of the Liberal
party on those questions of the day
Which. ate pressing for solution."

The Fruit Division. Ottawa, issues
the following witruiug; Last winter
thousands of fruit trees were girdled
and killed by mice, and elle same thing
will doubtless happen again the coming
winter unless orohard'tsts take precau-
tions to prevMztit. Woe are not usually
very troublesome in orchards where
Own .cultivation is practised and, rub-
bish is not allowed to accumulate as a
shelter for them, but the orchardist
will find it necessary to provide some
sort of protection, if he wishes to be
fairly sure of bringing his young trees
aately through the wiuter,
The mice burrow along the ground
under the suow in search of food, and as
soon as they come to a young tree start
to gnaw it. Wooden veneer is probably
the most satisfactory protection against
them, and it has the additional merit of
being a good preventive of sunscald.
The veneer is wrapped loosely .around
the trunk and tied; end an sir space is
left between it and the tree. These ven-
eers cost from $3.75 to $5.00 per thou.
sand. Ordinary building paper, which
costs a mere trifle, is also a first rate pro.
tection, but it is not of much valve as a
preventive of sunscald. Tar paper is
also effective, but as trees have been in-
jured by its use, it is better to be on the
safe side and use something else. Iu
any case the lower end of the
paper should be banked with
earths, so that the mice cannot readily
get under it to the tree. A mound of
earth about a foot high around the base
of the tree will often turn them, and
even snow tramped about the tree has
proved effectual, but these are not ■o
trustworthy as the veueers or the build-
inu paper.
The Fruit Division also poiuts out that
this plague of mice is largely due to the
common practice of destroying every
owl and hawk that can possibly be shot
or trapped. It is a great mistake to do
this. All varieties of owls and hawks
are great mousers, indeed mice consti-
tute the chief item in the bill -of -fare of
most species. At least ten varieties of
owls are classed as residents of Canada.
and of these only the Great -horned Owl
is a menace to the farmer's poultry yard.
Of a dozen species of hawks commonly
found in Canada, only three are classed
as chicken hawks. viz., the Sharp -skin-
ned Hawk, the Goshawk and Cooper's
Hawk. The four varieties usually
known as "hen hawks" scarcely ever
visit poultry yards, and an occasional
depredation is far more than , counter•
balanced by their services as destroy-
ers of mice, rats. squirrels and other en-
emies of the farmer.

The Hon, N. A. Belconrt received
6,277 votes as against 4,806 for his op-
ponent, Mr. Birkett, the late member,

strongest Conservative candidate avail-
able. Mr. Belcourt's majority over the
French Conservative candidate was 1.749,
Mr. Robert Stewart, the other Liberal
candidate defeated .Mr. Birkett by the
handsome majority of 1,050. Here was

Canada, and it was here that campaign

out, it is said forty thousand people to

made an issue at the polls as to wbether

Lava Stock Markets.
Toronto, Nov. 15 -There is practically
no change in local conditions at the city
cattle market since last week. The
butcher tradeis uone too brisk, only the
choicest cattle finding a market that is
at all active. "There seems to be too
many of these unfinished cattle coming
in," said one dealer, who brought in sev-
eral loads, making gond prices for the
good butcher cattle, but, as he expressed
it, having to "give the rough cattle
away." These rough cattle' have, in
fact, been the drag on the market for
some weeks past. It was thought that
the supply would soon ran out, but,
there seems to be any number of them
still to Dome. The reason generally
given is the unusually cool, wet sum-
mer, which left the cattle on grass
poorly developed and unfinished. There
was a heavy run to -day, but the larger
portion of offerings of cattle were of
the class already referred to. Business
was fair for the first couple of hours,
but by that time the best of the cattle
had been picked out, and after that
business was very slow and draggy.
Export -There were but one or two
good loads of export cattle offering.
These sold at $4 to $4.80; light* export
sold at $3.90 to $4.50.
Butchers -Trade all right for the
best butcher cattle, picked going at
from $4.30 to $4.60; good loads at
$3.85 to. $5; medium, $3 to $3.50;
rough canners, $1.50 to $1.60.
Stockers -There is enquiry for good
stockers and there will likely be for the
next week or two, as farmers are get-
ting through their fall work and have
time to come to market. The rough
common stockers are 'not wanted.
Prices are steady at $3 to 3.75, accord-
ing to quality.
Sheep and Lambs --The market is
steady to 5c firmer. Prospects steady.
Hogs -The market is rather weak,
but there was not a heavy ran, and
prices were unchanged from last
week's quotations. . Selects, $4.80;
common $4.60.
The day's run was 110 cars, with
1,730 head of cattle, 2,174 sheep and
lambs, 900 hogs and 76 calves.
The following are the quotations:
