As was to be expected, there h been quite a lively debate in t Bonse of ComnionS on the census' turns just laid on the table of .parli ment. Those returns were sotnewh dissappointing eo both sides of t House, but various reasons are giv for the apparently small increase our population during the last decad Naturally enough, Sit. Richard Cai a -right assumed Ms usually pessimist role, and labored. hard to make it a pear that the census returns gave ev dance of stagnation and decline, an thairged the government policy—mot especially the N. P.—with being th cause of the apparently slow growth our population. It is quite milieus ary to trouble our readers with ti :figures and arguments adduced b knight errant for South Oxfurd; b , %muse the public in general are no Dretty familiar with the doleful ta.1 of exodus and decline with which Si Richard has been harrangaing th country ever since he lost the office o Finance Minister.. His meurnful wait info are only the result of disappoint anent and of a malignant'spirit of eny at the prosperous condition of sCanad wilder Conservative rule; and therefor OCT people take little stock in sue false and distorted views of the wan try's condition. The able reply of th Hon. Me. Foster, Minister of Finance was all that could be desired as eom pletely demolishing the house of card 'inailt up by,Mr. Cartwright; and it as signed the true reasons why the cen sue returns do not give to Canada larger increase of population. First o all, other countries—including Grca Britain and the United States, the on a free country and the other a high]t productive country—have experience the same disappointment with eursel ves. Causes exist beyond anymer government policy for the slow increas of population. The National polies ean hardly be saicl to account for the depletion of population in farming dis Wets, and the increase of urban popu Wien, when the very same phenomena are observable in free trade countries But the real answer to Sir Richard, lanacions arguments as to an exodu af our people to the United States, is to be found in the fact that many have gone from this country which has a protective tariff of 80 per cent to a to-untry where there is a protective serif( of Gaper cent! Surely, the Nat- ional Policy cannot be held answerable for such a condition of things. The truth is, if the United States were a free trade country,—such an argu- ment as that Canada's fiscal policy was accountable for the small increase of our population might hold . good. But no! there are other causes to -which we must look for the apparently slow growth of our population; one is, The great inducement held out to our -sonng people by a powerful neighbor to the South of as; another cause for the disparity in the census of 1891 from that of 1881, is the different met- hods pursued in enumerating the pop- ulation. In the previous census all absentee 8 were counted, who were Ca- nadians by birch or by adoption; arhereasin the census for 1891 none were included but actual residents. But perhaps the most weighty reason to be adduced for the disparity in the census of the last decade, is to be found in the persistent slanders on our nun - 'try in which certain politicians and tbe'r myrmidon .seribblers have indul- ge& for the last ten or twelve years. Is it any wonderthat intending ern" - grants from the United Kingdom or Europe, re4ding the doleful accounts Andustrionsly circulated by the Globe ,and other newspapers, and by pamph- Ieteers of the Goldwin Shaith type, in regard to our country, should be de- terred from seeking a home itt our reidst? But fer what the National poi. icy has done in giving employment to thousands of our artisans, 'despite the pereistent efforts made in running ll'aow1,1, the country to serve a political purpose, eve should not have reached our present degree of prosperity or resented as good a showing to the 7yarld as we now do. It is matter for tokfratUlation by our people that Can, atin today occupies a most enviable po- grition, inthat she hasl'opened up a rlch torlitory in the great North Vtrost -which is fitted to be the nome of mill. ns of the worl(l's inhabitants, with a ans continental highway that, con Alects the two hemispheres by rapid and easy communication; a country of. illimitable territory possessing internal resoUrces—mineral, agricultural, and industrial—which need only to be utt lized to make Canada one of the most attractive fields for immigration in the known world. TRE PREMIER'S P94.101r. The attitude of the :present goverl. meat, in regard to the irregularities on the part of certain efficials which have lately been brought to light, is such as to inspire public cOnddenee the Premier's policy. Much .aclo hes been made by the Opposition about certain eaSeS iti whic1i subordinates and elerks in different publie. depart. meats of the Civil Seryiee.have Violet. ed the rules laid down by parliament, —although in nearly every case the wrongedolug compleined of consisted in doing extra work for extra pay, and that 04 times when the public ser- vice was overcrowded with work a an exceptioual character. Those mem- bers of the Opposition who, ih their haste to fasten a charge of criminality on the government, have created such a howl about "Tory corruption," forget that the same irregularities went on unchallenged during the MacKenzie regime; and they conveniently forget the numerous cases of corruption and yiolation of parliamentary rule that occurred during the same period, in which prominent Grit members (in- cludiug Speaker ektiglin and others) subjected themselves to legal disci pline. But, of course, two wrongs can never make a right; and we merely refer to such eases to show that they are by no means eonfined to "wieked Tories" Now, however, that the del- inquencies in the Civil Service have been unearthed, it is matter for public satisfaction that the Premier and the Miaisteriof Justice have both exprees7 ed their determination to deal out ey- enehanded justice with all perpretators of irregularity in the public Service, and to promptly punish the offenders without regard to position or party. The Hon, Mr. Abbott has in recent public deliverances in the Senate giv- en forth no uncertain sound; and it is only the other day, at tl caucus of Con- servative members held in Ottawa, that the Premier's policy in respect to Ciyil Service delinquents was emphat_ ically endorsed by his followers. Sev_ eral dismissals from the seryice have already taken place, and the public may now feel assured that the Augeare stable will be thoroughly cleansed, and that under the new proposal made by the Premier for appointing a Royal Commission or a paid Inspector to exx amine the books and papers of the sev- eral -departments, at any and at all times, such a watchful supervision. of the public service will thus be guaran teed. as shall contribute to official pur- ity and honest administration. Several British journals have expressed thern. selves in a very different spirit from some of our leading Canadian news- papers, particularly in the of the Hon Mr. Langevin, in which the London Daily News (for exaMple) remarks as follows: "His resignation was not in, anyway intended or could hardly be construed as an admission Of guilt. On the contrary it was accompanied by a protestation of innocence aS full; clear and emphatic as could be desired." The case of the Minister of Publie Works is still sub judice, and therefore it would be impolitic andunjust to pronounce judgment before a decisioa is reached by the House Of Commons Stephen Council.

Faourv, Clerk, Lizzie Taylor Charged. with Mansli augh ter, Alice and Lizzie Taylor, mother and daughter, of Mooreville, are at present, serving three months' terms in jail for their part in the stealing of some ,goods from a relative, Miss Battin, at her home. Lizzie, the, daughter, at the :time of her arrest had in her care her illegitimate child., which subsequently died in jail. A. coroner's jury was ac. cordingl,y called to examine into the circumstances of the "case, and they found that the child died from natural causes, but that its death was hastened through the Action of Constable Fadden, the official who arrested the ewo women n tho larceny ea8011be- ing stated that he had not allowed the mother time to properly clothe the infant. With thi,. information in his posseSsion High QenStable Schram the ease before Judge Eiliot at the ad - jimmied Session's Saturday, and at Crown Attoney Mitchinson't.. requeet the inquiry was adjourned until' the next General Sessions.

He said that when the child was brotigtit to the jail, where it died, it Was in a emaciated condition, and .consideeing the way it has been fed and clothed, as told to him, the result Of death was only what Might :have been expected. Miss Annie Baffin, of Usborne,a cou- sin of the prisooer,said that Taylor girl told her she "would not feed it Overt if the little devil died." The prisoner also told witness she had fed the child with buttermilk, black strap and wa ter, • Constable McFadden testified that he had given the girl three quarters of an hour to clothe theichild and get ready to conic to the:pay when he arrested her on the charge of larceny. Squire Smyth sent the prisoner for trial. 001131111111i0ati011. London, Aug: 22nd4 1891. To THE EDITOR' EXETER: ADVOCATE. DuAll note in to day s London Free Press an article by the rintCS, Exeter, is quoted as saying:, "No less than two Steen' Fire Engine ' Agents were trying to sell the town a steamer." Quite correct, .but 1 was not aware the Toren was short in its water supply. For Class E and D of the underwritees standard of water supply other- than. waterworks orr uniting stream he. Their must be provided tanks of not less than 5000 gallons capacity and not more thau 500 feet apart. Knowthes, the town to he in Class E, 1 took it for granted the supply was all right and the same standard applies to D. I think in these modem days, modern applis anus should be the order of the day,, but the great item in a system of lire protectioa is to h(eat the rate. of Insur- anee teduced and if this can be done in Exeter free, I think the Merchants and Council would only beStanding in their own light by not getting a Steamer and a letter higher in classification. It is true a Hook and Ladder is a very useful appliance la a Fire Department where high buildings are ,on Inc but for low buildings they are not needed, and the underwriters do not require it in Class E. As it iS not considered nee- essaey, and so little is it thought of by that body, theyalo not even make a standard of it. Their Whole aim is how quick can, you get to work and how much water can you throw when you do. Clause.8 saysof a steam fire en gine; it must be. capable , Of th)cit.ot,49 not less than -300 gallons per minute; and be able to throw d distance of 156 feet through a nozzle *inches in dia- meter using 500 fret of Standard hose, and that 1000 feet ef 2 inch luMe mast be leeptrthis is 500 feet mOre than re <faired for a hand engiue. I know that your Firemen are "brave and haedwork- ing lot of men. But you flutist admit that a hand engine is no where with a steamer in capacity or ease of handlin.,. and it is ridiculous to say that R steamer or waterworks could not have done better. JIISC imagine a steamer pour- ing four streams on your late, fire, two men at each nozzle and only one to op- erate the engine. But 1 hat is not the point, all these ai.e geed in theie plrlees andthe, hand engine has had' Rs day like the stage coach, $.$ aticl eentS is the point. Get trA0 class D. liko Myth, Clinton, Forest, etc., Arid' reduce your premiums for insurance and the red tie - tion will more than buy the machine, Bret, Times just take Tariff E.. rind D. and compare, and then get the amt. of Insurance the Carling's, or any of your large merchants are carrying, and you will soon see where ;Ile rule comes in. You Must have a Hook and Ladder Truck to getinto class,D. but rernetn ber there is no standard and most small places get their own local cani age builder to make them one at a cost usually less than 75 dollars,and its pol- icy to kt-:,e,p all the money you can in the town. Not only for H. and L. Truck but insurance preinitims as Well steamer and hose too if you can. Prac- tically you have, all the D. requirements except a steamer, and by reading, my proposal submitted to year council you will see, getting a steamer is no very hard matter after all, and the amount to _maintain is little more than a hand engine unless you go into clasS 0, where permaimnt pail engineer must be kept, Investigate 13ro.
