It was sweet and almost as heed as granite, NO Cannons Lnrunrr. There is not likely to be any changes in the game laws as a result of the opinions of the sportsmen of the pro- vince. Some time ago the Game Warden sent out to all the deer hunters a pamphlet asking their opinions re- garding the protection of deer. Those in the east of the province were almost sold in the belief that deer should be shot in the water, while the west and north were just as strong in the ex- pression of their opinion that no deer should be killed in the water. The Game Department also believes that deer should not be killed in the water and the law will in all probability* stand. A few recommendations were made for the extension of the season, and the number of deer takan, but they were not sufficient to warrant any change. ** NEWSPAPER POSTAGE. The Fostoftice Department has sent to all newspapers in Canada a copy of the new Postage Act, which provides for the re -imposition of postage on newspapers sent from offices of pub- lication in Canada addressed to regular subscribers, with the exception of pa- pers published not more frequently than once a week and addressed to places not more than 20 miles distant from the place of publication or in- cluded within a circular area of a diameter not exceeding 40 miles. The rate of postage on newspapers on com- ing uniler the jurisdiction of the act is one quarter of a cent per pound from Jan. 1 to June 30 next, and ode -half cent perpound a hereafter. The t Department is also asking particulars regarding circulation, etc., from each newspaper. Railway men are wondering what it is that keeps railway rates in Ontario from being : restored. The restored. rates tote Pacific coast have gone oe 4 g into effect but no announcement has been made regarding local rates. The general impression is thatthere is a bitch in the negotiations between the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk for a renewal of the North Bay agree- men.t. It was the Canadian Pacific that eat local rates, the object being to injure the.revenueof the Grand Trunk. in Ontario,on account ofthe part taken'. by the latter road in the Pacific road war, and it was naturally expected that with the settlement of the original trouble the Canadian Pacific would withdraw its cut rate tariff to local points, There is an idea, however, that the Canadian Pacific is holding' back on the restoration of local rates until the Grand Trunk comes to its terms on the North Bay agreement. When this is arranged satisfactorily local rates will be restored, The tra- velling public, however, hope that tbe hitch ntay not become unhitched for some time as they are quite satisfied with the rates.

The acquittal of the actor 'Emerson, at London, on the charge of murder, the local papers informs us was receiv- ed with cheering inside the court house, and gave rise to a popular demonstra- tion in favor of the accused when he appeared a free man on the public streets of the city, says the Sarnsa Ob- server. There was certainly through- out the country, as well as in London, a strong feeling of sympathy for Emer- son, caused chiefly.tby the pitiable con- dition of his wife and child, left des- titute in a strange land, among a strange people, with their protector in jail and stauding in the awful shadow of the gallows. The jury took a merci- ful view of his crime and acquitted him, and there is no disposition through- out the land to find fault with their verdict; but it shocks the general sen- timent of the community to hear that eitizens of London are inclined to make a hero of the man, and that, trading upon the notoriety he has attained, a benefit performance is to be given for him in the London opera house. When these kindly intentioned citizens get oyer their emotional hysteria than will probably come to the same conclusion as those outside the area of disturbance have arrived at, that there was nothing in connection with the deplorable deed for which Emerson was tried and ac- quitted that glorifies the act, or justifies the conferring of honors or benefits up• on the man upon its achievement, and hat the less public attentton is called to it the better judgment will be dis• flayed by and towards all concerned, Around About Us.

London, Sept. 29.—The morning Post, in an editorial today says :—The, prohibition movement in Canada, in- stituated by the Laurier Government, is more in the way of a redemption of an election pledge than anything else. The idea that any serious condi- tion is involved i nvo red n the e mat ter may be left out of the account.
