The Premier brought down tines haying caught cold while wattle, a bill the other day which should have for a funeral to start. been burned by the common hanenian e rather than introduce it into any°Brit- ish Legislature. He stated to this House that this was. a bill to enable municipal corporations to maketcOn- tracts with people who wished to•com- meuce certain industries. I do not be- lieve that, apart from the Ministers, ten members could be found to support it. It provided in effect that corpora- tions—electric light, telephone, street , railway, and similar companies—ceuld be exempted from municipal taXatiob, time after time and three years at . a time, by membeis of Municipal Coun- oils, without consulting the people. In - other words, the men in the townships or villages who happened to fill the po- sitions of manicipal councillors for one year might for three years take away from their constituents the right ef taxation on these corporations. ,I say this: that the Government of this pro- vince represented to the corporations that this bill was being introduced in their interests and as a relief from' the new assessment law introduced. The corporations, they refuse to accept it as a measure of relief, and said they asked for nothing of the kind. Any hon. gentleman in my position would be the reverse of wise were he to make the statements I have made without knowing whereof he spoke. I am con- tent with them just now, and in the future perhaps. I will enlarge upon these statetnen ts." You say this is sie-one' language and so it iseuid he who is nott well acquaint- ed with the facts and the men say that it was uttered in the heat of debate. There is only one answer to such a per- son. Not one member of the Govern- ment dare make reply. The Sugar Beet Question. To trim EurrOlt Atevoe-Altie it is of vital importance that the f farmers of the Counties of Huron and S Middlesex take action at once to se- cure the best seed available and make t a thorough test of abeut one eight of an acre of sugar beets for 'sugar p10 -- poses, and see to it that they get all the information that is possible on their culture in order to secure as high a percentage of sugar as our deep rich soil of Western Ontario is °enable of producing. ibis a well-known fact tiaat we have no "plungers" in Canada, that is willing to invest half a million dollars in an enterprise that they are not eertain we cap produce the raw rnaterial in pitying quality and quan- tity, to warrant 'such a step and for that and other eeasons we should go aboo t it in the usual way to work oar way inch by inch, and if the faralOVS are sceptical, indifferent or negligent to make a test this , summer it will only set Os back another year. This we should known that if we commeuce at once it will be doing well if the fac- tory is in operation for ,next year's ceop, as every one knows who has had any experience In floating stock that half a million dollars is not picked up in a few days. In a lengthy interview with Mayor Rumble,* of the city of London, a few days since on the sub- ject, he said that the government had completed arrangements for a satis- factory bonus to bide it over its intro- duetry year as it is a well-known fact that a great many people are afraid to open their sails to an untried breeze, but we will have to make the plunge as it is no use for little Ontario to rub up against the great West in wheat or cattle. It would therefor be better for us to cater to their wants than run up against them as competitors. Mayor Rumble also said it remained with the farmers to take the initial step and arrangements would be made at the leading fall fairs to award handsome prizes for the highest percentage of sugar; therefore 1 see no good reason why suchen enterprise could eot be made a success in a town like Exeter, surrounded as it is by one of the besb. agvicultural districts in Canada. True it is that to make manufacturing in- dustries pay they must be surrOunded by population, but where the eaw material is prodnced from the land, I think it is a mistake to be bentred in the midst of a great city. I would like to hear the views of other farmers on the subject and the Editor of the ADVOCATE has kindly consented to give space to any suggestions that will help to develop this great enter- prise. Yours Truly, S. M. SANDERS. * HURONS POPULATION. County Clerk Lane has totalled the population of the cortnty from the as- sessment rolls, of which he has just re- ceived:the list for 1900, and that our readers may see the changes one year makes we have given the population for 1899. It will be seen that towns and villages have lost 19,and townships 807, too great a loss for the fine old aguicultural comity of Huron.

Comber, April 3.—The M.C.R. offici- als here were notified this evening that the body of a rnan was lying beside the track about oue and a half miles east of the village. The section men, ac- companiedby Coroner MeNevin left at once for the scene. The body- Ivirs identified as thet of Fred Palmerston, a young Englishman, who has made his home around Tilbury for some' time. The youngman had deliberate- ly committed suicide by cutting his throat with his jackknife, the imple- ment of destruction being clinched in his hand when the body was found. It is not known whether the youtig man has any relatives in this country or not. The retnains were brought to the village and hantled OVer to the under- taker. It is not likely an inquest will be held. WITH 'A TACK -KNIFE.' APRIL SHOWERS Wash away the filth and waste that have accunnriulatecl during winter.

DEAR SIR.—Pei.nait me to reply to the charges made by. McCann against me arid. Mr. F. F. Downing, of Lucetn, in theheef seit 'case that canie mip be- fore Squire E.B. Smith, of Ailsa Craig on Saturday lac After hearing all the evidence that spite and venom could produce the case was dismissed before hearing the defendant's side of the case. None of the witnesses' sworn, saw the steer after March 26th and the animal was only noticed to be off its feed the day before Tennant gave med- icine for it; also on Thursday 21, and that was the last medicine it got,- only a dose of salts. Mr. Downey and Mr. d a rry Stanley, prominent farmers and cattlemen, saw it on Friday the I 22nd and said they could not have told it was sick if 1 had not told them. There was no talk of either buying or selling the steer that day, but on the following Monday I sold the ,steer to Downing. I was not in Ltleall, nor did I see Tennant after I saw him on Thursday, Mach 21, until the follow- ing week and when we find men like McCann, that would swear, or offer to swear,the animal was not on itsfeet for ten days beforai it was killed and when sworn say he never saw it during that time but once, what wouldhe not swear. The -only witness eor the de- fence called was Dr. Hutchinson, the health officer, of London, who svvore that after -hearing all the evidence ad- duced on the case and after seeing it analysed as he did, he mould have no hesitation in buying itlor his own and family use and would consider the meat fit to lie sold on the market. — W ILBERT flEVINGTON Mooresville, April 8th. Drysdale: Mr. Angus Murray Met with an , accident one day last week while engaged threshing clover with Henry. Talbot at My. Peter Durand's. Mr. Murray was coming down from the mow, his foot slipped and he fell to the floor, landing on his shoulder. Medical aid was summoned and found that Mr.Murray's collar bone bed been broken. This is the second time that Mr. Murray has had his collar bone broken, and much sympathy is felt for him.—A very sad accident took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs Edward Etue the other day when their eldest child. Berth?, was scalded to death. It appears thafeMr.Etue had just taken a pail of boiling water from the stove when the child not noticing the water had backed into it and received a se- vere scald which resulted in its death. The child was just in his third year. The bereaved parents have the sympa- thy of the whole community. "Good atirzset ..11a$ No Price."
