tatAmAT progress bee been made along
the line of the Good Roads movement as
muoh ran tbat 20%0 the townships'in On-
tario have abglished the old fashioned
Statute Labor style of spoiling the roads
and it is intimated that encase
'vote on the question next Jannary. Tn
many looalitiea the dienesion of this im•
portantentaeot has caused the adoption
of more modern motbode ltt roadmaking.
Narrower highways, graded up and wall
orowped, with the aides of the road
trimmed off to allow eurfaoe water to get
away are among the primary essentials
in thie muoh to be desired work.
Ma. Onatineaotits, the Colonial Seore•
tory, is no doubt a very °lever man and
an able statesman, but he slipped a oog
in a speech he made at Giaegow, Soot.
Jend, when he roundly abused tbe Irish
members of Parliament. The sone of
Erin may be stalwart kickers, and we
guess they are, but there ie a way of
dealing withthem muoh more likely to
produce good resuits than the vitrupera•
rive style of Mr. Chamberlain on a pnblio
platform. He thinks 80 Irish represent-
ativee should be etrnok off, bat if a few
of them get after him he may be struck
off too.
Tome are thirteen vaoan '
mea in eon•
etitnenoies belonging to the Dominion
Parliament and bye eleotions•will be held
to fill these in the near future so ae to
have them represented at the next see-
elon of the House. The political com-
plexion of the former members were 8
Liberals and 5 Conservatives and the
probabilities are the Government will be
more likely to gain than lose supporters
in the coming 000taste ae the bye elec.
tions malty add to the ministerial aide
of a Government. The following are the
oonetituenciee : West Queen's, York,
Lieger, Kingston, L'Ielet, Beaaoe, West
Durham, West Hastings, Addington,
Laval, West York, St. James' division,
Montreal, and either Terreboone or
Maisonneuve.
Sonteen ue tbe city papers poke a little
fun at rural journalism over what they
are pleased to call trivial notices such ae
the ahronioling of small improvemeote,tbe
doming and going of people, &c,, but if
tbeee things are not outdone by some of
the social items in our oity contempor-
aries we'll agree to eat the canoe towel on
Thanksgiving Day. We read not long
ago that a certain lady in Toronto enter-
tained company. That was sensible
enough bat when it oame to telling the
etyle of dress ebe had on, the kind of
dishes on the table, who poured the tea,
, we just had to smile. There it was
right in oold print and by the newspaper
that made fan because we said a man
had built a woodshed at bis house.
Yon oity fault finders would shed a more

THE gems of politics is an odd one and

he may be the game man all the while

with the Stratford Beaoon, that open

formation as to the necessity of snob a

no less than 80 casee of smallpox in the

proper drainage, good water, ventilation,

CANADIAN STORE CATTLE
IN BRITAIN.
When Hon. Sydney Fisher, Dominion
Minister of Agriculture, was in Great
Britain last Summer he made strong
representations to the President of the
Board of Agriculture in regard to the im-
portation of store cattle from Canada,
asking that in this matter Canada be
treated in the same way as Ireland as an
integral part of the British Empire and
not as a foreign country. He also ad-
dressed a number of meetings of farmers
and others interested in this trade, and
since bis return the agitation bas been
kept up in the Old Land. The Scotch
farmers want Canadian cattle and have
exerted every influence to have the pres-
ent law of restriction repealed but with.
out success. The British stook breeders
demand protection against Canada, al-
though they are more than willing to
welcome Canadian buyers of pure bred
stook who pay big prices for the best
animals. That the policy of protection
will be continued as long as the Right
Hon. R. W. Hanbury is President of the
Board of Agriculture is shown by the
following from the Edinburgh Evening
Despatch of Oot. 9th : "The Right Hon.
R. W. Hanbury, M. P., President of the
Board of Agriculture, was in Edinburgh
to -day. In the forenoon he received in
the City Chambers a deputation repre-
eeuting all parts of Scotland in favor of
the removal of the restrictions on the im-
portation of Canadian cattle. Mr. Han•
bury on tbis occasion was accompanied
by Sir Jacob Wilson. The deputation,,
which was a very large one, included
Bailie Brechin, Glasgow; W. Smith,
Balzeordie, Brechin •, W. 1?'. Bell, Lath-
rie Bank; A. Hntokeeon, Beechwood,
Perth ; Nathaniel Dunlop, Clyde Trust ;
Henry D. M'Orombie and Mr. Milton, of
Kemnay. The ease for the deputation
was stated by Mr. Bailie, Brechin, who
commented upon the oareful examination
made of all Canadian store cattle landed
in Glasgow, andupon the fact they had
not bad a single case of plenro. They
thought the time had now arrived when
these restrictions should be removed, for
if the farmer a er ware to be remunerated for
his trouble, outlay and care it was to be
from the feeding of Canadian cattle.
Free trade should be allowed in cattle as
in many other things. Wm. Smith said
that all they naked was the right possess-
ed by every tradesman in Scotland save
themselves—tbe right to buy their raw
material cheapest and best. If, he said,
the three great industries of Edinburgh
were compelled to buy their raw material
in the United Kingdom alone, the
breweries would soon be out of existenoe,
Scottish whiskey would be made in
Germany, and the flour industry would
be practically annihilated. Canadian
cattle, he olaimed, were the soundest and
healtiest that passed through the farmers'
hands. W. F. Bell claimed that if
disease once existed in Canada there bad
been no trace of it for years. A. Hutch.
°son, N. Dunlop, D. M'Crombie and John
Mitchell, Newburgh, also spoke in sup.
port of the plea of the deputation, all
eager to show that Canadian store tattle
were absolutely free from disease.
ata, ZANHnia DECLINES TO YIELD.
Mr. Banbury, in replying to the dept)•
tation, pointed out that this matter was
provided for by an sot of Parliament
passed so recently as 1896, and he belies,
ed there would be a distinct majority in
the House of Commons who would make
it imposeible for any Government to pass
a memento repealing the Act. He point-
ed out that 1t applied to live animals'
from all over the world, and Canada was'.
on exactly the same footing as any other
country. Any alteration, therefore,
must affect every other 00untry that
could supply them with store cattle.
Then there was the perfectly insuperable
difficulty that they Could not reverse
their treaties at a moment's notice, He
thought he wee telling what in the end
was the best course for farmers, and cee-
tieioaid that the far as he at Watt concerned

the late Dr. Maokintoeh took a great
interest in all kinds of athletite, bath
local and nationel, and in the -sixties and
seventiea he was foremost in originating
sports which used to he held in Crowe
Hall Park ; and. in throwingjheavy weights
he always eeoured the first place. He
was a mon of fine physique, and when he
donned his Highland dress in the days
long since gone by to attend a local dance
he was a picturesque personality and a
typianl Soot. It was thought by some of
his friends that he injured himself by
hie' great exertions in weight•throwiug,
but this he never believed. He was also
the means of introducing the lute Captain
Webb, of Niagara fame, to a Downham
Market audience, and entertained him in
his house in High street. A portrait of
the late captain having a prbminent plana

notwithstanding all that has been said d of
hie interest in athletioe, his forte was

valuable quantity of apeoimene of all
branches of thateoienoe. Hie arrange.
ment of them in hie epaoioue hall is
unique, and the mechanical oontrivanoee
10 whioh they are planed are evidenoe of
hie manipulative skill. He was undoabt.
edly a clever arohiteot,i and his skill at
the lathe was second to none in the neigh-
borhood. He was a keen lover of a good
game of draughts, and the "whites and
bladka," witb which he and his Mende
played were perfect pieces of turning skill,
their graduated circles being moat exact
from: the centre and each other. He left
instructions that the shell in which he
should be plaoed ehould be made of pitoh
pine, and the oolflnof polished panelled
