cover the whole ease, they were
perhaps the most successful. One
argument was that of the G cent
duty, only 3 ought to be counted as
telling in favor of the industry. Two
cents were debited' to the National
Policy, which increases the cost of
working the oil deposits. There was
an apparent frankness about the

NEWSPAPERS AND POSTAGE.
For the past twenty year, or
thereabouts the newspapers of Can-
ada have enjoyed free transmission
through the mails, under the theory
that as desseininators of information
and vehicles of useful knowledge
the State was under an obligation to
them. That theory, every newsE &per
man will candidly admit is thcrough•
ly sound. But abuses have arisen
under the well meant law, and ad-
vertising sheets and novels and vara
ous kinds ()Muck manage to get
through the wails along with the
real and reputable newspapers of.
the country. It is after all a ques-
tion whether the reimposition of the
postage rate would not be indirectly
in the interests df the bona fide press
of the country. The postage bill of
some of the newspapers would not
reach a large sum but it would prove
a dampener on the counterfeit con-
cerns that swarm the mail bags, and
and also discourage the senseless
nutiplieation papers with no mission
to discharge. Formerly there was
a postage rate on newspapers of one
lc per lb., but matters having long
been adjusted to other conditions, it I The friends of Mr. Will Campbell' 'Wool

CATTLE SHIPPING.
The cattle dealers of Buffalo and
vicinity are jubilant over the quaran
tine of Canadian cattle which went
into effect Feb. 1. The act passed
a year ago, requiring all importation
of cattle to be held in quarantine 90
days, proved detrimental to the live
stock interest of Buffalo. Canadian
consignments became very few. A
member of the firm of, Waltz, Thighs
Swope & 13ensted, said: Last Monday
we received 40 cars of hfirned cattle
from Canada, the largest shipment
that has been received here under
the new law. The major part of
this shipment was fer stocking puts
poses and.20 cars have been .shipped
west, to Ohio, something never
before heard of. All this goes to
show that the stock market of the
United States is at present very low.
'American breeders have told me if
they could secure cattle Cloy could
fatten them with but little expense
as they have now on band thousands
or bushels of corn going to waste for
the want of cattle to feed. At the
East Buffalo yards business is brisk
as buyers are coming here froth all
partsof the 'country and the .rise
regulations will not only pro ve a
benefit to the shipping and consigners
bat to the consumers as well."
VICTORY.
The bye•eleetions in Ontario
on Thursday of last week resulted in
a victory for the Government in
North Ontario and South Brant,
while East Simeoe re-elected Mr,
Bennett the Conservative candidate,
The Usual outcry is being raised by
the vanquished, charging the -victor -
Nets party with bribery, intimidation
personation and all the rest of the
chfdrges known to the caelndar of
political crime. Like the steam from
a locomotive in a surcharged atmos-
phere, these aecusatisns of corruption
usually vanish quite, being, after all,
nothing more than yap lar. - In the
case of South Brant, there does hoar
ever seem to be a little more than
ordinary, in the charges. A charge
of personation has been entered
against n. London "character" who
was arrested in Brantford •while
attempting to pursue his nefarious
game and being allowed out on bail,
failed to appear when called to
answer the charge, a feet that would
seem to indicate that the charges
against him ere not unfounded.
It is by no means in a spirit of
boasting nor frotn any feeling of
undue assurance in the integrity of
all those who may have worked for
Mr. Henry in the South Brant
election, that we say we hope every
charge of corruption in whatever
form is fully ventilated and that
those guilty of wrottg•doing are
severely punished. It hatters not
what our political views maybe, if
we prize the power brat i�=eited in
us through ttrfranehise, if we prize
our country's Welfare and would save
it from sinking further iinto'the pit of
political ehlcanery, it' we believe in
the election of oar legislators by the
will of the people, rather than by
the trickery of a few heelers, then
in the middle of it, by which means
many more schools will be able to I
take advantage of it. Mental
arithmetic is also being put on as an
examination " subject and more
emphasis will in future bo laid upon
the three R's. The committee be-
lieve thee they have succeeded in
forming one. of the best curriculums
for these examinations to be found
in the province. It will be issued
in pamphlet form and given in a

Mr. George Wrigley has retired
troth his position of acting grand
secretary of the Patrons of Industry,
a position which was practically
that of organizer for the party,
Until recently Me. Wrigley was the
editor of the Canada Farmers' Sun,
the patron organ.. He retired from
the editorship to become secretary
when Mr. Leitch, of Strathroy, was
expelled from the prty. The vacant
position in all probability, will not
be filled until the general meeting
of the association, which takes place
in Fehuary.
