UTTER AND TO ARGUE, - --- PREELY ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE WE PRIZE ABOVE ALL OTHER LIBERTIES Lucknow, April 1st, 1892. A GOOD BILL. The season for manufacturing cheese at the factories will soon commence, and in order to protect the honest patrons and others from frauds, Mr. H. P. O'Connor, the able representative of South Bruce has introduced a bill in the Ontario Legislature, that should wrove of great benifit to the country. An act waspassed some time ago by the Legislature, making it a serious crime to send diluted or inferior milk to factories, but by a recent decision of the courts, a patron could not be prosecuted unless it was shown that • he was actually personally aware that the milk was "doctored." This decis- ion completely distroyed the usefulness of the law; for the the wife or any member of the family could supply the water and the owner or head of the house could 'not be prosecuted because he himself did not commit the ,act although he may have profited knancially by the fraud. Mr., O'Con- nor's arnendments.fully cover all the weak points in the old law and should • be adopted. Clause six of the bill says: "Any person charged under the first three sections of this Act it shall be sufficient in the absence of other • -evidence on which to found a convic- tion to show that such milk so sent, supplied or brought to a butter or -cheese manufactory to be mannfactur ed into butter or cheese is substantially inferior in quality to pure milk, pro- vided that the test is made by means •of a- lactometer or cream gauge or some other proper adequate test, and is made by a competent person; and , no person shall escape the penalty •provided for the violation of this Act, (in case the milk is proved to have been deteziorated or inferior so pure znilk) by 'showing that he had no personal knowledge of the inferior qtytlity or deterioration of said %gin" 111•••••111r REFORM CONVENTION. The London Adtkrtiser makes the suggestion that a general meeting ot the Reformers of the Province should be het(' at some- time in the near future. The idea of holding a meeting -of this kind is a wise one and we believe would accomplish a great deal •of good. it would afford the repres- . sentatives from the different parts of of the county an opportunity to meet *together and discuss the trade question and other leading issues with the leaders of the party. We believe the people should be taken into their confidence and given an opportunity of .expressing their appro val or disapproval of any portion of the general policy of the Liberal party. Both in the United States and Great Britain this course is adopted by the leading. poli- tical parties, and it is ,at these, repre- sentative gatherings of the people that the platform of the party is agreed upon. THE attention of Public school teachers is called to the following change in the subjects required foar entrance examinations. The exam- ination in poetical literature will be based partly on prescribed selections from the authorized reader and partly on the reniaining lessons of that reader. in addition to selections especially prescribed for memorization, the can - date will be expected to have mernor- , ized passges of -special beauty from the other lesson of the Fourth Reader. At the examination in composition, the candidat,e will be expected simply to write a letter and a narrative -of discription, each being of about 30 lines in length. In writing and draw- ing, candidates will submit their copy books, showing their work in writing for at least three months, and drawing BLAKE FOR WEST BRUCE There is a call for the Hon. Edward Blake to re-enter public life as an inde- pendent Liberal. The honorable 'gen- tleman is both able and honest, and by his presence at Ottawa these days he could do a great deal to re-establish right government in the land. A .cor-respon- dent has asked the Lucknow SENTINEL whether the honorable gentleman could not be seated.for West Bruce. The SENTINEL, while not pretending to speak for the whole riding, unhesitat- ingly answer "Yes." West Bruce is a riding constituted, under the infamous Gerrymander of 1882, to hivethe Lib- erals, and there is no reason to doubt that if a vacancy - were created Mr. Blake would either be returned unop- posed or by a majority enormously large. What say the M. P. for the riding and the local Liberal associat- ions?—London Advertiser. HOUSE OF REFUGE • Contrary to customs, says the Sea - forth Expositor, "the grand jury at the re3ent assizes in this County, did not recommend in their presentment the erection of a House of Refuge. they did the next best thieg, however, or perhaps a better thing. While deplor- ing the necessity of incarcerating the poor as criminals in the gaol and the heartlesness of such a proceeding, they recommended that a vote be taken in each municipality at the time of the municipal elections to determine whether or not a majority of the people are in favor of the establishment,of such an institution. This is a very good suggestion and should be acted upon, but who it is that has the author- ity to order such a vote we do not know. However, that is a matter which, we presume, can be u1tin3ately determined. Such a vote would afford an opportunity of having the question thoroughly discussed before the people, both by those in favor of the scheme and those against it. We believe that if thefacts were intelligently laid before the people of this county, and the vote could be taken squarely on that issue and Uninfluenced by any other consid- eration, that a large majority of the people of the county would•declare for a House of Refuge." .0 HON. Mr. DeBoucherville is a living exemplifications- of the necessity of curtailing the number of legislative bodies in Canada, He is Promier of Quebec, member of the Legislative Council of the Province and a Domin- ion senator. When one man can fill all these offices without working over- time, it is safe to say the number of offices is greater than need be. MR. DACE, of Kincardine, offers an amendment in the Ontario Legislature to the Building Society's Act, that will be of great benefit to borrowers of nioney from these societies. He. asks that clause 66 of that act be amended by striking out all the •werds after the words "but all borrowers from the society" in the seventh line of said section and in lieu thereof inserting the following wprdi: "But no such bon ower from the society who is not a subscriber to the stock, or a member of thesociety, shall be subje2t to the rules thereof un- less the 'mOrtgage or other security given by the borrower, expressly pro- vides in writing that . the rules of the society shall fo-ra part of the contract or obligation entered into by the borrow-, er and in such case the said rules shall be printed or written in the said mort- g-ige or other security. This will enable the borrowers to -know just ex- actly what obligations he will lapse to meet. Colorado Spring Wheat.

The Money we are spending now among our subscnbers will soon come back to us in increased cir- culation and advertisements.

Their work is among the finest made, and we guarantee you an artistic Portrait and a perfect likeness to the onginal.
