The Toronto correspondent of The Loudon Free Press says that the Ontario Government is oonsideriag the question of malting a clean sweep of officials ap- pointed shortly before the geueral elec- tion, including Mr. Hill and Mr, Rich- ardson, former members. of West and East York, says the Toronto News. 1)emauds for positions, it is said, were so numerous that the Government de- layed action, but the axe is shortly to fall. Registrars, Divisiou Court Clerks, and other officials will be dismissed, and THURSDAY, MAY. 25, 1905. their places taken by Conservatives. Iu Northern Ontario practically all the present officials will go. The item has at least this much foun- dation, that the pressure on the Goveru- ineut for offices, the hunger from their thirty-four years fasting is something appalling. There is, however, no excuse for yielding. The victory of last Janu- ary was not won by party workers. It was a spontaneous popular movement, in which many Liberals joined. It is quite certain that no such overwhelming vic- tory would have been achieved if the in- dependent voters had supposed that they were striking at electoral fraud only to introduce the vicious spoils system. In several things the Whituey Government aro doing well, as in forcing the holders of liquor licenses to live up to the law, in cutting off the Juuctiou pool room, and in insisting on strong Provincial con- trol of water powers. If it surrenders to the speilsman it will discredit itself with Liberals and independents, and lessen its owu ability to do strong and straightfor- ward things. • Even the poor excuse of a bad ex- ample cannot be pleaded in this ease. The spoils system has never been a- dopted in Canada. The Laurier Gov- ernment has been particularly forbear- ing in this respect. Its followers are now threatening reprisals iu case 14b- eral office -holders are unfairly dealt with by the Ontario Government, and this is natural and inevitable. A whole- sale dismissal of Oonservative officials at Ottawa will be the appropriate ans- wer to a wholesale dismissal of Liberal officials at Toronto. It is true that two wrongs do not make a right, but some little allowance must be made for the old Adam that is in all of us and if the Conservatives choose to issue a declaration of war, they must take the consequences NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is understood W. W. B. McIlies. ex -M P., will be appointed to the vacant commissionership of the Yukon. Secretary Spence, of the Dominion Alliance, has issued a call for a national prohibition convention, to bo held in the Labor Temple, Toronto, on Thursday, Juno 22nd. Lord Alverston is at the head of a company. iu which several Toronto cap- italists are iuterested, which has been formed for extracting alcohol from saw- dust. Whereat the Toronto Star re- marks that "it will be remembered that his Lordship squeezed two islands out of ns not so very long ago." i There will be no birthday honors on the 24th of May. According to a cable from the Colonial Secretary, the honor list each year hereafter will be published on the day observed as the King's birth- day in the Old Country. This anniver- sary is usually set for the last week iu Jane. Hon. Chas. S. Hyman, M P , for Lon- don, was on Saturday last appoiuted Minister of Public Works by the Domin- ion Cabinet, and was sworu in at Toron- to on Monday morning, by His Excel- lency the Earl Grey. This will necessi- tate a bye-electiou in London, which will be held on Tuesday, June 13th, with nominations a week earlier. The Con- servatives will meet on Friday to nom- inate a candidate to oppose Mr. Hyman. It is probable that Wm. Gray, the for- mer candidate, Will be nominated. The North Oxford election will be held on the same date. • Arrangements have been completed by which a tunnel will be built under the Detroit River connecting Detroit to Windsor. The tunnel will be controlled by the Michigan Central, but arrangements have been made whereby the Grand trank and other lines may use it by paying a yearly rental. The work will begin within three mouths. There will be two tubes, about twenty-five feet apart, and trains will run in only one direction in either tunnel. Work will be carried on en- tirely from the Canadian end. Nothing will be disturbed on the Detroit side an. til the tunnel is complete and ready to be connected to the terininal. Powerful electric locomotives will be used in the tunnels. Two and a half years will bo required for the work, and the cost will be seven million, five hundred thou- 6lind dollars. t EAST HURON LIBERALS. The annual meeting of the East Huron Liberal Association, for Dominion and Provincial Ridings, will be held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Tuesday, May 30th, commencing at 1.30 p.m. In ad- dition to the presentation of reports and the election of office bearers other mat- ters of business will come up for discus- sion that should be of interest to every Liberal. The municipalities included in East Huron are Howick, Turnberry, Wroxeter, Wingham, East Wawauosh, Morris, Blyth, BrnsseIs, Grey, McKillop and Hallett from which large delegates should be sent, R. N. Duff, Blnevale, is the President, and W. a. Kerr, Brus- sels, Secretary, if any farther informa- tion is desired before date of meeting. .yens When the nerves are weak everything goes wrong.

THE CROP OUTLOOK. Tho outlook for the grain crop in Ont- tario is most promising, according to a report issued by the Department of Ag- riculture, based on conditions prevailing on May 10th. Live stock also is report- ed to be doing well, and altogether, the prospects are that the present year will be a prosperous one for Ontario farmers. Fall wheat, it is stated, was sown under favorable conditions, and there has been considerably less winter -killing this year than last, The cold winds in April were very trying to exposed fields, but the crop has picked up wonderfully since. The disappearance of the Hessian fly is one of the most gratifying features. The rye crop is reported to be in good condition, and the present indications are that there will be a full crop of clover. The general report is that new fields are particularly strong, the catch last year having been most successful. Vegetation in field and forest was hardly as far advanced as usual on May 10th, on account of April being a back- ward month. There has been a rapid growth of blade and leaf in May, how- ever. A considerable number of palm trees have been winter -killed and some peach and other fruit trees, bat not nearly as many as last year. Apples are not like- ly to be a heavy crop. Much damage to yonng fruit trees is being done by field mice, which infest every county. 'i'IlE `VINGlIAM TINES, MAY 25, 1905, EARL GREY Canada's New Governor. -General Earl Grey, the brother of Lady Minto, does not come to Canada as a stranger, for he has been a frequent visitor at Ottawa during Lord Minto's regime. He was born in 1851 of an old Northumberland family living at Howick since the sixteenth century. His grandfather, the second Earl Grey, was the Whig Prime Minister who carried through the Reform Bill in 1831. Alfred Henry George Grey, the new Governor-General, does not need to fall back upon a family tree for a record, as he has made his own name secure. He was educated at Harrow, Trinity College and Cambridge, taking high degrees in history and law, and at an early age entered politics, being for six years a member of Parliament. In 1894, while he was making an ex- tensive tour of South Africa, word came to him of the death of his uncle, to whose title and estates he succeeded. Earl Grey was a close friend of Cecil Rhodes, and was the one man who knew how to manage him; and on more than one occasion when the Colossus of South Africa threatened to cut loose from the mother country and make Rhodesia an independent republic, the gentle firmness and influence of Earl Grey made the threat fade into thin air. He is one of the executors of Rhodes' will, and has an influential voice in the Rhodes scholarships. After the Jameson raid in 1896, he succeeded to the administration o$ Rhodesia, and here his strength of mind and purpose, his knowledge of mea and methods, his tact, diplomacy and personal magnetism enabled him to ride bravely over many obstacles. He has the courage to take the initiative whenever it seems right to branch out into new lines of effort, and is a strong lover of humanity. On his large estates he has successfully carried out his ideas of cooperative partnership; he is the organizer of the Public House Trust Company, which takes over and manages the saloons of England in. the public interest. At a labor meeting in Scotland a few years ago he stated his belief that the gigantic trusts of the United States could be checked only by a cooperative plan, limiting the interest to five per cent. and prohibiting the sale of shares in the open market. Earl Grey has clear-cut features, dark eyes, a slight patch of hair, mak- ing an oasis in the desert of his baldness, a military bearing and a quick, eneis getic, decisive manner. His family consists of his wife, his son, Viscount Howick, and his three daughters, Lady Victoria Grenfell, Lady Sybil Grey and Lady Evelyn Alice Grey. Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year 1901, by W. C. Mack, at the Department of Agriculture. note. by Austell fi Soaa, London AU classes of live stock have come through the 'winter well. Cattle are de- scribed as lean, but hearty. Horses likewise. They are now picking up on grass after a somewhat slim fare through the winter. Ewes have been prolific and lambs are remarkably strong. Swine do not seem to be as plentiful as usual. Scarcity of straw and corn were a drawback in feeding last winter, The abundauce of hay partially made up for it, and oats and wheat were largely fed. As a result supplies are rather short, and - - , more farmers aro grazing their own ! stock than in former years.

CARE OF A STRAWBERRY PLANTATION. ed out before the fruit sets. Fruiting the first season weakous the, plant and reduces the crop for the succeeding year. The first runners should be permitted to grow, as the eariier the runners root. the stronger the plant will be. An average of eight or ten plants from each one set should give a row sufficiently thick for a good yield of fruit. Late formed run- ners should be cut off because they form plants too weak to be of any value, and they also draw nourishment from the plants already formed. Mulching is of first importance in strawberry culture. As soon as the ground becomes frozeu fairly hard In the fall, the plants should be covered with a mulch of strawy manure or marsh hay. This will protect the ground from the alternate freezing and thawing which heaves the plants out of the soil, break- ing their roots and causing reduced yields. Then about the middle of April, preferably on a cloudy day, the mulch should be raked off the rows into the paths between. As the fruiting season approaches, more mulch should be put between the rows, to assist in holding the moisture and to keep the sand off the berries and the pickers. It is seldom advisable to harvest more than ono crop from a plantation,but if one desires to take a crop the second year, the old rows should be narrowed down to about six inches, the weeds and many of the old plants taken out, and just enough old plants left to Start a new stand. Keep the ground well cultivated to encourage the formation of new run- ners, the plants will bear the next sea- son's crop. Then mulch again the fall the same as the previous year. (by H. 8. Peart.) May its the best month for planting strawberries. .As soon as possible after setting, the ground should be cultivated to a depth of about two fiches in order to loosen up the coil. Cultivation should O. C.

Statistics recently compiled in France show that that count' y is a land of what political economists call "small men". This term refers, of course, to the hold- ings.of the individual, which are more evenly diffused in France than in any other civilized country. Iu support of this statement it is shown by statistics that France has fewer than 20,000 per- sons who have property valued at 1,000,- 000 francs ($193,000) or more. About 14,000 of these have fortunes of from $193,000 to $380,000; of the remainiag 6.000 only about 100 have from $2,000,- 000 to $10,000 each, while in all France there are not more than ten persons whose property is valued at $19,000,000 or over. These figures are reliable, since they are based ou current tax returns, and in France taxation is thorough and searching. CENTRAL • STRATFORD. ONT.
