election in Russell will make the govern.
merit's majority eight, which, he adds,
"is enough." 13y the end of the session
it will be much larger rend more than
enough. History will repeat itself.

The Toronto World and Mr. St, John
are 0i11 trying their best to injure the
hog raising and pork.packing industry in
Ontario. The business hi one of the
most profitable industries in Canada, and
it has brought millions of dollars itlto the
country in the last few years, and it is
capable of vast expansion. But farmers
and pork -packers inform no that, as a
consequence of the foolish and incendiary
agitation on the subject of the Humber
piggery, the business has been injured in
Canada, and the inquiry for Canadian
pork in Grant Britain may be very niuch
onrtailed. The conduct of Mr. St. John
and his political associates in this con-
nection deserves the severest reprobation.
They knew that when hog cholera broke
out at the Humber over two years ago,
Dr. Smith, a Conservative Domiuiou
official, took the case in ebarge, and dis.
posed of the hogs exactly as he had dis-
posed of animals ander similar conditions)
in Elgin, Tient and Essex counties. In-
deed, not until eighteen months after the
event, and until the last session of the
Legislature, did Sir, St. John raise the
oratory which, repeated on the stamp, has
done so much harm to the hog industry
of the country. This warfare did not
close with Ur. St. John's defeat at the
polls. Fat hogs were in due course killed
at the Humber piggery this month and
immediately the old outcry was revived
that they were diseased. It is true that
once half a dozen expels veterinaries ex.
amined the animals and gave emphatic
contradiction to the story, but before
that was possible the rascally statement
had been telegraphed far and wide. The
Opposition politicians who have pinned
their hopes for success on warfare cal.
eninted to bring great loss to the farm-
ing oommuniby cannot be too strongly
condemned.

Meetings of Grand Lodge and Grand
Black Preceptor,.
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Coterie
West met at Palmerston on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week. At Tuesday's
sessions, after the Grand Master's ad-
dress, William Lee, of Toronto, Grand
Secretary presented his report. He com-
plained of the number of county lodge
officers who failed to make returns at the
proper time. The year's work showed a
substantial increase of membership, the
initiations being 1,260 ; joined on certifi-
cate, 428 ; reinstated, 210 ; or a total of
1,913 members added to the roll. The
losses were : By expulsion, 50, and
deaths, 163, making the total losses 213,
showing a net gain of 1,700. Three new
lodges have been opened during the
Grand Lodge year.
The Grand Treasurer, E. F. Clarke,
M. P., for West Toronto, reported that at
the last meeting of the Grand Lodge the
per capita tax was lowered from 10 cents
to 5 cents per member, reducing the rev-
enue
evenue by one half, without any reduction
in expenditure. The income and ex.
penditure for the year was : Income—

council, postage, stn., 39 203.70 ; balance
in hand, 81,486.60 ; total, 33,690.38.
There was a publio meeting in the
evening in the town hall, followed by a
banquet.
On Wednesday, after a short discus-
sion, 350 was voted to the True Blue Or-
phanage scheme. The orphanage was al-
so recommended to the sympathy of the
members which means that r
w every lodge
g
willgive 'rants to the scheme and thus
raise very large sum. At 'the unveil.
mous request of the members in Tient
and Ivlaskoka the order in these counties
will in flame be divided into two county
lodges, to be known respeotively as North
and South Kent and North and South
Muskoka,

,4 Trip to the Capital.
Wednesday morning, Marult 0511, the
Editor of this family journal took the
train at Brussels for Toronto, en route to
Ottawa, where the annual tweeting of the
Canadian Press Association was convened
ou Thursday and Friday, We had as a
seat mate and travelling companion a
well known resident of Brussels, in the
person of B. Gerry, who was going to the
Provincial Capital to attend the Conserv•
alive gathering in the Mail building,
whose bnsiuess was the consideration of
what was to be done with the naughty
Grits. On the train we also met the
Misses Hall, lady evangelists, of Guelph,
who were also going to the city, to con.
duet revival services. There was a big
crowd on bond, owing, no doubt, to the
cut rates, and seats were ab a premium.
After dinner we attended to some busi.
nese matters and then, in company with
H. P. Moore, Editor of the Aotou Free
Press, hied to the Globe office and sate
evening
that institntton tarnnig out its of g
daily edition, a very interesting sight.
The Methodist Book Room was our next
call. This is a great and growing book
concern and does a very large trade. The
balance of the evening up to train time
was very enjoyably spent in the company
of Dr. G. L. Ball, formerly of Brussels,
with whom we reviewed old scenes.
Shortly after 0 p. m. we boarded the C.
P. R. sleeper "Nestoria" and found as
ottr party bound for Ottawa R.
Holmes, Clinton New Era ; D. McGilli•
cuddy, Goderich Signal ; W. D. McLean,
Seaforth Expositor ; E. E. Shepherd and
Joe Clark, of Saturday Night ; H. J,
Pettypiece, M. P. P., Forest Free Press ;
A. Pattallo, DI. P. P., Woodstock Sentin-
el -Review ; Registrar Pattullo, of the
same town ; the well known Peter Ryan,
of Toronto ; Editor Moore, of Acton ;
Jackson, of Newmarket, and several
others. We bunked along with Mayor
Holmes on the top shelf and got full
benefit of the jolting.
6 a. m. Thursday saw our train steam
into Ottawa and after performing the
necessary ablutions we left our coach
about 7 and soon found comfortable
quarters at the Windsor Hotel during our
easy ill the Capital. The Press Associ-
ation's meetings were held in the Railway
Committee 1800m, in the Parliament
Buildings, where over 60 representatives
of the Press in Ontario and Quebec were
assembled, Major McLean, of Montreal,
presiding, This was the 40th annual
meeting. Au interesting program was
presented, one of the best papers being
read by Frank A. Monsey, of the well
known Munsey Magazine, New York ;
Jno. Ring, Q. C., dealt ably with "The
Newspaper and the Courts," having
special reference to the libel law of this
country. In the afternoon Nord and
Lady Aberdeen honored the Association
with a call, both addressing the news..
paper men. Her Excellency spoke on "a
theme near to her heart," site said, viz.,
"The Victorian Order of Nurses."
The following officers were elected by
acclamation :—President, Robt, Holmes,
Clinton ; 1st Vice -President, W. S. Ding•
man, Stratford ; 9nd Vice -President, J.
S. Willison, Toronto ; Secretary -Treasur-
er, Sohn A. Cooper, Toronto ; Assistant -
Secretary, C. A. Matbhows, Toronto.
Auditors :—A. S. Foerster, Oakville, and
J. O'Beirne, Stratford. The eleotion of
the members of the Council resulted in a
tie between Mr. Colquhoun and A. G. F.
MaoDonald, of the Alexandria News, and
the President gave his casting vote in
favor of Mr. MacDonald. The other
members elected to the Council were :
W. Ireland, The Star, Parry Sound ;
Dan. McGillicuddy, Goderioh Signal ;
J. T. Clarke, Saturday Night, Toronto ;
L. J. Tarte, La Petrie, Montreal.
On concluding the business of the
afternoon the association adjourned to
the Speaker's Chambers,were they
were
the guests of the Speaker and Mrs. Edgar
at tea. Instead of spending much time
over the tea cup we went bo the House of
Commons and heard Hon. G. E. Foster
debate the Youkon railway for an hour
before supper time.
Thursday evening the annual Press
Bangnet was held at the Russell House
and was largely attended, the notables
Present being Lord Aberdeen, Hon. J. I.
Tarte ; Mr. Dlnnsey and Dir. Gibson, of
Now York ; IIon. Dr. Borden, Lieut. -
Col. Denison, Dr. Drummond and others.

Friday forenoon was devoted to the

among other interesting matters brought
forward was an invitation from Bro. Ire-

Advertising Ageing, in New York, gave a
very practical address on "Advertising,"
being an outline he had worked out in
connection with his business.
In the afternoon a goodly number of
the visitors spent an enjoyable half hour
in the Fisheries' Exhibit and then tools
the street oars to Hull, where the mam•
moth establishment cf 1e. B. Eddy was
visited. We were shown through the
paper mill ; the match factory ; paper
bag manufactory ; and the fibrewars
factory, all of which proved very interest-
ing. About 1,000 hands are employed by
Mr. Eddy, ranging from the little tot 6 or
6 years old, boxing matches, to the gray
haired employee. An hour or so was oo.
copied iu the House of Commons before
the supper hour was chimed. Fri-
day evening we went out in full force to
Rideau Hall, to accept the kind invitee
tion of Lord and Lady Aberdeen. Two
electric oars were placed at our disposal
in conveying our party to and from the
reception, which was a most eujoyoble
one, and the following from the facile pen
of the brilliant young lady editor of the
Journal's society column, gives her opinion
regarding it :—"The long procession of
those who influence publio opinion to so
great a degree, in whose honor the re.
oeption was given, were presented to
their Excellencies, and then, being in•
tredueed to some Ottawa belle, went into
the drawing room and heard Master Guy
Mainguy carol his sweetest lays, or the
delightful music of Mrs. Jas. Morris, or
stood entranced as M. du Domaine, the
violin wizard, wove his spells of melody.
If it bad not been for the desire to listen
to the splendid program, it would have
been hard not to sigh for a waltz—there
being so many brew looking thiels who
in the busy world take notes of every-
thing that is going on. Yet no one seem-
ed to be in awe of them, nor of their
powers of dashing the whole scene off
with a few strokes of the ready pen if
they wished, Like editors in the days of
Ring Solomon, editors—those wonderful
beings—were "nothing accounted of,"
they were as plentiful as blackberries on
o bramble hedge in August. As for the
names of all these clever and interesting
men, they aro written in previous issues
of the Journal. Their Excellencies, as is
their wont, were a kind and thougfnl
hoot and hostess, and expected their staff
to see that the members of the Canadian
Press Association, who were the special
guests of the evening, were introduced to
a sufficient number of people, and proper-
ly looked after, as they were." mite a
large number of the two storey guests
wore one storey tors dresses and those who
had ren short of material to finish out

looked happy, from the worthy host and

trains that swept the velvety carpets of 1
