OTES AIM COMMENTS
The Liberate have captured Lanark
from. the Conservatives ; but a,s Mr.
Wrigley, a prominent Patron, has
pointed out, they would be
better without it. More could have
been gained by conciliating the Petrone
than has been gained by Adding another
vote to a parliamentary majority- already
large enough. -

In North Bruce, where two Liberals
Were in the Eold. the Conservatives
could easily have elected their man had
they held together. In Lanark, a hope
lenily Conservative riding, the Liberals
----did keep their ranks closed and they
did 'Win egeinst a divided enemy. Does
this indieatie that the Liberals will enter
the coming 'Cbett4e. st with forces better
disciplined then thit of their oppon-
ents ?

Hard times are, made harder by the
unnecessary economies cif people who
have no need to retrench. But re-
trenehment is the fashion. People who
have extremely good cause to reduce
expenses give up housekeeping or get
along with fewer servants. Economy
is contagious. A few economize from
neceesity, and many fall into line from
choice, or from fear of adversity, which
will welter strike their hoaseholds,

It is expected that at the coming ses-
sion of Parliament a bill will be intro-
duced by the Government respecting
irrigation matters in Manitoba and the
Northwest Tearitories, having for its
object the providing of means whereby
irrigation companies can obtain neces-
sary powers without having to come to
Parliament for them. Sincelast session
Hon. Kr. Daly has been giving the sub-
ject considerable attention, and, it is
hoped that a good workable bill will
result from the reports and valuable in-
formation which have been received at
the Deparements

The Patrons of Industry in North
Oxford will nob be behind their brother
tillers of the Bonin other counties when
election day comes around., On March
3 they will meet here and nominate a
candidate to contest the North Riding
against Sir Oliver Mowat, barrister of
Toronto. When Sir Oliver gets through
the next election in Noxth Oxford "he
will know he has been to a race." The
gentlemen who are favorably' mentioned
its prospective candidates are Dr. R.
Ross, of Embro, Ed. Caister, of' Tavis-
tock, President of Oxford Patrons • Ex -
warden E. L. Sutherland, of West
Zona, Reeve Henderson of illanford,
E. J. Person and C. Horsman, of East
Nissouri. When the farmers unite on
a candidate, and there seems but little
doubt that they will, his election Is
enured Their candidate will secure
majorities in the townships and a big
vote in the towns and nillages.—Wood-

' Mr. Meredith's speech in the Ontario -
Legislature in reply to the mover and
seconder of the address- was not only a
deoleretion that he will continue as -
lender of the Conservative forma in On-
tario, but it stated very fully the policy
Which he Will lay before the people in
the coming elections. This policy may
be very briefly summar'neci. Mr. Mer-
edith will not go to the extreme length
of declaring thate,:lCatholics shall be
denied the rigbt to private employment
or public office he will not even ad-
vocate the abolition of Separate Schools;
but he will insist on equal rights to all
and the restoration of the Schools of the
minority to the place occupied at Con-
federation, wieh the ballot added. He
has, apparently, decided to let Prohib-
ition remain in abeyance, pending the
decision of the &nide, and meantime to
insist upon a fair and, well-coneidered
license law. He will ale° demand No
further sale of timber without the con -
lent of the Legislature ; the adoption of
a policy for the eneouragenient of
mining ; biennial seseiene and a reduct-
ion in the number of Ministers, and the
curtailment of the cost of gonernnaent
generally.

A majority of the judges of the Su-
preme Court have decided that theleed,
eral Government has not the right to
restore Separate Schools in Manitoba.
The Privy Commit, if the case goes so
tar, is almost certain to sustain that
decision, The national eyetern of Man-

Referring to the Ontario Government
the Patrons of Industry say it is not so
much the fee ystem that is objected to.
The objection is to the enormous emol-
uments that are received under it. It
is all right that'thoee who use the ser-
vices of registrars or sheriffs should pay
for these services in the form of fees.
But these fees should form part of rhe
public revenues, just as the sums receiv-
ed for limuor licenses do now, and the
registrars and sheriffs ought to be paid
by salary, as are the license inspectors.
Under this plan the scandal of paying
Register Dickson $3.000, Sheriff W iddi-
field $4,000 and Sheriff Gibbons $3,000 a
year, for merely nominal services, would
be put an end to, and every reasonable
man would. be satisfied.
Money in Hogs.
Professor Robertson, of the Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa, recently read a
paper before the Central Farmer's Insti-
tute, Toronto, on "Experiments on Hog
Feeding." The Professor's idea is that
the farms of Ontario and Quebec: should
maintain a hog for every acre of cultivated
land. The demand for hog products
apparently grows the more it is catered to.
Millions upon millions of dollars are an-
nually poured into the Unieed States as
the price of its exports of hogs in various
shapes. The exports of Canada are also
considerable, haying amounted to $1,100,-
000 in 1891-2. There is no doubt that the
quantity could be largely increased were
greeter attention given to this branch of
rural industry. Prof. Robertson's address
went to show this,
and, in addition, to
establish how existing conditions in grain
markets and the spread of the deiry in-
dustry tend to make a new departure, or
rather enlarged efforts, on old lines, both
practical and profitable. Prof. Robertson
asserted that when hoes were fed on wheat
Li was found that for every bushel of such
wheat there was a gain of 9.1 pounds in
the live weight. But, taking a better
breed of animals and at a better age for
making flesh, the gain was 15.46 lbs. per
bushel of frozen wheat. Taking the year
through, swine could be sold at fiye cents
a pound ; and at that price, allovving even
for shrinkage, the frozen wheat, by being
used fos feed, was in one case made to real-
ize a trifle Over.45 cents, audio the other
case a fraction aver 73 cents per bushel.
The bacon from mixed grains, and from
wheat particularly, was of a ?ouch superior
quality than that fromsta.rohy foods alone.
He said also that experiments made at
Ottawa pointed to ;the 'fact that the
marketing of swine at weights varying
from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs., live weight,
would give a very much larger profit to the
farmers than other weights, .
The experience of packers is that hogs
from 100 pounds to 160 pounds dressed
weight, are the weights most in demand
fur the export trade.
Prof. Robertson showed that cross -bred
swine gave a larger gain per pound feed
(mourned than any of the thoroughbreds
that had been tried at Ottawa. That,
however, did not imply that they should
not have thoroughbreds; it implied. the
need of them lor introducing thoroughly
good blood into the different animals, In
feeding six pens of swine of different
breeds he bad xeceived a valuable piece of
information accidentally. In sorting these
pens he selected a large pen of "runts"
that did not seem to have much chance to
gain. - They were ted on skimmed milk
(about one half), waste of the farm and a
little bread. After ten weeks they had
gained one half more than the best pen of
the others, which were fed on grain. He
knew of nothing which was equal as a
substitute for skimmed milk or butter
milk to carry pins from the weaning stage
to about 75 pottnae or 80 pounds weight.
The creamertee that are being eataleliebed
in so many sections produce these in large
quantities. Dairyiug and hog raising cat
be made to work together much tothe
advantage of those directly concerned,
But it was largely as Affording a profit -
able means of marketing oats, peat, barley,
and even wheat, that the most general
raiding of hogs was urged. In what he
seed in this reapect, Rrof. Robertson's ex-
perience has been bourne out by that of
others, "

TORONTO, Feb. 20. --Thea Speaker took
the chair at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The following bills were introduced and
read a first time: Mr. Tait—To amend
the municipal act. Dr. Gilmour—To ex-
empt homesteads, Dr. Gilmour — To
abolish personal covenants in mortgage.
Mr. Whitney—Respecting witness fees,
Mr. Meredith—I waled like to ask the
leader of the Government when we may
expect any of the bills mentioned in the
speech from the throne?
Sir Oliver Mowat—Next week, some of
them.
Mr, Meredith enquired what had become
of a return asked sor by Mr. llarter some
two seesions ago regarding the number of
commissioners appointed by the Govern-
ment and the expenses connected there-
with, and which had not yet been laid
upon the table. There was no reason
why there sheruld be any delay in bringing
down the return. •
Mr. Gibson replied that it was being
prepared, arid if the members only had a
little patience it would be down shortly.
Dr. Ryerson gives notice of a bill to
abolish all exemptions on church property.
Dr. Ryerson gives notice of a bill to
amend the Public School act, so as to pro-
• vide for the amalgamation of the high
echools and public schools. It proposed
that all property in the possession of the
High School Board shall pass under the
,control of the Public School Board, and
-that after 1st January, 1895, all teachers
nmployed at the high school shall be
placed under the Public School Board.
Hon. Mr. Gibson laid on the table the
annual report of trustees of Upper Canada
College. The statement of the bursar is the
same, sets forth: " The trustees regret
that the financial etatement of the college
isnot as satisfactory as they would desire.
The receipts for the year 1892-3 show a de-
crease of 38,305.95 as compared with the
year 1891-2. The entire revenue of the
college in 1891-2 was 346,253.20, and in
1892-3 337,977.25. In our report of last
year we were able to make the gratifying
announcement that the college, out of its
own resources, and without eteny, endow-
ment or publio aid whatever, showed a
surplus of 34,000 over and above expendi-
ture. This year we regret to announce a
deficit of $7,681.15, arising mainly from
the reduced attendance of boys in resi-
dence, the number of 1891-2 being 165,
and in 1892-3, 138. The reduotibn in at-
tendance, in the opinion of your board,
was owing to several causes! First, the
financial depression which prevailed
throughout the province ; secondly,
the increase in the number and effi-
ciency of the high schools and collegiate
institutes of the province during the last
few years; thirdly, the establishment of a
number of additional residential schools
for boys; fourthly, the opening of two
large collegiate Institutes in Toronto,
where formerly there was but one. In
view of the redueed atten lance, your
beard has very carefully considered hew
beat to maintain the financial standing of
the college. Two courses were open: one
to secure, if possible, an increased attend-
ance, and the other to effect a substantial
reduction in the expenditure. So long as
the financial depression lasts your board is
of the opinion that the attendance et the
college can not be very largely increased.
Care, however, has been taken to place its
advantages as -a residential school before'
the country, both by circular and by ad-
vertieement. Should the attendance of
the first two terms of the present academic
year continue, the college will have an
assured become of $34,000, and tarffig the
expenditure of the first six months of the
financial year as •a basis the total eX-
rienditure for the whole yeer should not
exceed $33,000.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT -
The Terrible Death Which. Came to a
Young Alan in St. Catharines.
ST, CATHARINES, Feb. 19.—A terrible
accident occurred at the McKinnon's hard-
ware factory on Saturday morning from
which Thomas Feeney, a lad of about 11
years of age, was so badly injured that he
died a few hours afterwards.
The unfortunate lad was: minding the
japan oven and, tvithoot any warning, it
exploded. The oven requires to be
watched closely or the gas will generate
quickly and explode, as was the case sev-
eral years ago when -a young man named
Copeland lost his life by the same means.
The building in which was the japan oven
is only lightly constructed and the force of
the explosion was so great that the room
was almost completely wrecked, The roof
and,a portion of the walls, which are only
the thickness of a brick, were blown out.
Young Feeney was badly mangled by the
explosion. His side was torn open and
his liver was disrupted. • He was taken to
his home, where he died soon after.
The deceased -leas a son of Mr. Thomas
Feeney, of Vine street. He was a quiet
young man, and his sad end causes a dew
e
iegret in the city.

It seems that after the man's escape a
description of him was wired 411 over the
country. Aid.-FenWiek, who runs a
jewelry store with a restaurant in the
rear, is also the Manager of the 0. P. R.

telegram was received from ruffalce The
man presented himself at the restaurant on
Saturday night to get something to eat,
The alderman spotted him as the man
wanted in Buffalo. '
AS BOOn as the man had eaten part of
the oysters he got up and inquired when
the next Grand Trunk trait left for Hamil-
ton -and was told about e o'clock. He said
this was not a very pleasant night to wait
outside, Fenwick told him he could, go
over to the Grand Trunk waiting rooms
where he would find them very comfort-
able, and directed him there. As soon as
the man left the place Feliveck who is a
county constable, placed two men to watch
Hartle in the waiting morn and went for
Detective Griffin. s
Upon the arrival of the two mein at the
station Detective Griffin commanded Har-
ris to' stand up, that he was an offieer of
the law and wanted him. eiaries stood
up, and as he did. so lowered 'his right arm
to his overcoat pocket, when Griffin struck
his arm upwards, and said, "Hold both
hands above your head, sir, or I will
shoot." Theinian obeyed, and Griffin van
his left hand into his right side overcoat
pocket and pulled a long, glistening re-
volver, the one with which Harris held
a room full of Yankee officers at bay until
he made his escape. '
While Griffin held his revolver in full
cock, ready for action, Fenwick clapped
the handcuffs on Harris and they inarched
their man to the lpekup. '

A' DOCTOR'S VIEW;
One of the most noted phyeicians of
modern timeielays :—"When the system
is surcharged with bile apd the liver
needs a powerful stimulus: to excite it
to duty, then it is that we use powerful
cathartics to obtain the necessary :relief,
often attended, however, with prostrating
effeote, and he might also add, often caus-
ing by their re -action worse constipation
end billiousness than before," Now this
ta not the case with Eseljay's 1,-ivet- Lozen-
ges They do not prostrate nor re -act.
They act gently yet powerfully. Those
eoubled with chronic: constipation or a
Milieus habit 'that has lasted for years
must continue teoir use for some time ;
but they will do their work mad germane
ently cure those thus 'afflicted.

The Swine and the Flower.

And then he seemed to grunt, in accents
. rude,
"Huh I Be not proud, for in this fat of
mine,
Behold the source of riehnese for your
food I"
I fled, and saw a field that seemed, at first,
One giant mats of roses Pure and white,
With dewy buds' mid dark green foliage
nursed,
And as I lingered o'er this lovely sight,
Tie semmeebreeze, that cooled that south -
ere scene
Whispered, "Behold the source of Cot-
