"Asour a dozen printers will begin work on the voters' list in the Govern- ment office at Ottawa in a day or two. It ie expected that six months later the force will bo increased to 80." This item will require a little sugar to make it pal. atible for a number of our journalistic brethren of the Coneervalivo side of poli. tics who lined their pookets nicely from the "fat" prides paid for the printing of the Dominion voters' list. Teo splendid victory in Westmoreland County, Now Brunswick, where the Soott Act was sustained by an increased vote of twelve hundred and thirty-three over that east for the passage of the Act about three three years ago, is a very strong argument as to what the people think on this important subject in that section. The temperance people may appear care. less at times in advocating necessary leg- islatiou, ate. for the suppression of the liquor traffic but they generally "get there" when it comes to the ballot box and the first victory for repealing the Canada Temperance Act has yet to be reported. On Thursday of next week the electors of Halton speak once more on this srme question. The temperance people are quite sanguine et enecesa and the constituency is well organized. Ix this week's issue of Canada's hum- orous weekly known as Grip the editor in his comments on cartoon. speaks as fol- lows of the sugar monopoly "The Canadian newspapers have had a good deal to say of late about the doings of "trusts" end "combines" in the land of Uncle lam. Scathing paragraphs on these "bloated grabbers" find their way avec into the columns of the Empire. This kindly interest in the well-being of our neighbors is commendable, but the adage of the mote and the beam might very aptly be quoted to us. We hear comparatively little about the same form of evil which flourishes in Canada. There is at least one ''oombiue"—that which controls the sugar business—which de- serves immediate attention, not merely of the press, but of the Government. The fact is pretty generally known that con- sumes a•f sugar in this Dominion are be - in: regularly robbed of at least 11 cents per pound on a prime necessary of life, t y v;ttue of a combination of the few re. fietaiie, ,Dade possible by the tariff o11 this commodity. Although employing fewer men and paying les- wages, in pro- pnrtiou to capital invested, than any oth- er form of industry in the country, ex. aeptiug, perhaps, whisky making, the monopolistic sugar -refiners are piling up prnfi's far in advance of any other man. ufacturers. They are, in fact, stealing about 32,000,000 per year from the peo- ple ; end it is high time the process was stopped. There is no reason why Pro- tectionists should not join with low -tar- iff men to bring about this result, as the Protective theory does not necessarily eoitemplate the abetting of pocket -pink. ing. \Ve trust Sir John' will take vigor. ous action to abate this evil at the com- ing session. Tau Globo of Wednesday says; The murder is out this maruing. The Fis'teries Treaty may be fairly described as one for enabling American fishermen to do what they please in Canadian wat- ers. Every Canadian eontention has - :.-becn enerendeeed. The delimitation of --bays sot forth in Article 3 plainly opens to tt a Americans all indentation of ten miles wide at the entrance. But that is not al. The reservation of bays less the ten miles wide at the mouth is, in our opinion, rendered illusory' by Article 0. It is c1u•inuedy worded. it professes to oxclnde from the "common waters any seek bey as cannot be reached without pasein;; within three tniles of the shore. Inferentially it opens all interior bays that can bo entered by a course more than three miles from shorn. That is to say, an interior bay whose mouth is over six miles will be open to United Statee fishermen. What else can be the inten. ti"n of the article ? Tt wonld he entire- ly sure.duous if Article 3 were really mount to close bays of lees than ten milee wide at the entrance. What neo to with- hold from ";ommon waters" interior bays not to be reached "without passing within three miles" of shore, if all inter• , for bays ten milee at the mouth were ex - eluded from "common waters 7" Law. yens may see differently, but so far as we oan now perceive the rich fisheries of all bays more than six miles at the mouth have been surrendered. More than the "touch -and -trade privilege"'bas been conceded. American fishermen are practically relieved of all necessity to report, make entry and clear. They are to have free licenses on demand to any supplies whenever they allege themselves on the homeward voyage. Tn fact they are to enjoy for nothing all the privileg- es imaginable. Some few are not ex• pressly surrendered, but Messrs. Thonnp- son and Foster proved conclusively, in published eorrospondonoe, that tho whole navy of Great Britain could not prevent Arnernosns fishing et their pleasure if they were aliotved to come and ge end hover and trade in the - ninnor permitted • Tine Dominion Parliament met on Tlutraday of this week. '.Cho session will be an important nue, and not the least quesliott for ennsiderntinn will be the work of the ]fishery commission et Washington. Barons from the Northwest ranches say that cattle and sheep have wintered well. On the other side of the line, in Montana the seinen was not so favorable but etill the spring drive promises to be large, The reports front our own Donn. try show that the spring will be prosper. oils if no disaster intervenes between now and then, and that the cattlemen at the wee t, who have bad severe experiences will be encouraged to hear their reverses hopefully. Perth County Notes. Stratford expects a solid and extensive building boom the coming season. Rev. J. Ferguson has been invited back to Atwood onauit for another year, Eli Perkins, the humorist, will visit Stratford on March 16118, and lecture on "The Philosophy of Wit and Humor." Most of the farmers in the vicinity of Stratfod are assisting the Salvation Army in preparing for the erection of a new barracks in that city, Juo. Wilson, of Atwood, had rather an unpleasant bath in the 11)aitland the other day while watering horses. The water was about seven feet deep. Mrs. John Buchan, mother of the late Principal Buchan, of Upper Canada Col- lege, died iu Stratford on the 14th in her 69th year. Her husband survives her. Negotiations between Maxwell ib Sons, of Paris, and the corporotion of Stmt.ford, looking to the removal of that firm's works to the latter place have been drop- ped. The Mitchell Advertiser says:—Great complaint is made over delay in register- ing and returning papers from the regis- try office for the South Riding of this county. The district medal was played for on Friday at Woodstock by the Stratford and Embro curling clubs, two rinks it side, the former winning it by 22 points. Score, 48 to 26. A few weeks ago John Clark and Thos. Gordon, of St. Marys, bought a twenty. five aent tioket each for the Woodstock Mazar. On Saturday they both received official notice of their luck. The former will in due course reoeive 340 in gold and the latter a fine gold watch, The Methodists of the Waterloo Street church in Stratford have got out plans for the proposed addition to their church. The addition, it is expected, will cost in the vicinity of $3,000. The Baptists will also erect a fine 310,000 structure on the corner of Ontario and Nile streets, The Waterloo Street Methodistchurch, Stratford, had a narrow escape from de- struction by fire on Sunday. A blaze which originated in some hot ashes de- posited in barrels in a back building at- tached to the basement of the church having been discovered and extinguished in the nick of time. Editors Race and Davis, respectively of the Mitchell Reoorder and Advocate, after years of strained relations, have grappled in the courts, and Mr. Race is 11088 on bail under commitment for trial at the next assizes et Stratford for libell- ing Davis, at least so it is alleged. The straw that broke the camel's back seems to have been a dispute over a printing job. Ten pupils from Perth attended the rh•af and dumb institution at Belleville last year. These were : Margaret Fuller, Mitchell; Margaret Kennedy, Mitchell; Claudia C. Moore, Sebringville; Thos. MoLaren, St. Marys; Charlotte Rios, Fullerton ; John Traohsel, Shakespeare ; Barbara Wolf, Gowsnston ; Arthur 0, Fuller, Stratford ; Hugh A. Pringle, Staffs ; Lily Cumming, Stratford. The North Perth Liberal -Conservative Association held fts annual meeting at Ivfilvsrton on Thursday. The following officers were elected :—S. S. Fuller, of Stratford, President ; D. D. Campbell, of Listowel, let Vioe.President ; John Zoe - ger, of Newton, 2nd Vice -President ; F. W. Gearing, of Stratford, Secretary. Treasurer. Exaoutive committees were also appointed for the various neu„ioipal- ities in the riding. A resolution denunc- iatory of Commercial Union was passed. Mitchell was greatly excited the other day when it was learned that John Wat. son, of Hibbert, and his brother Henry, of Logan, had assigned to the Sheriff. They were both considered to be fairly well-to-do, the former being owner of 425 acres of good land, the latter of 100. It seems, however, that they were carry- ing heavy debts, and that the interest they were paying was enough to swamp omen in far better circumstances. The liabilities aro placed at 320,000-314,000 of which is on notes. One of the bills before the Ontario Legislature is at the instance of the county of Perth, in regard to the old court -house site. In 1851 the late Col. McCullough granted certain lots in Stmt. ford on condition that the eonrthollae and jail should be erected thereon. A„ doubt has now being raised as to whether the lands upon which the old county buildings stood are legally vested in the corporation, and whether they do not re. verb to theheira of the McCullough eetate, the purpose for which they were granted not being continued. The Stratford L'eacou insists that a "hood inspector" has become a necessity becauseof the amount of rascality that takes place on the Stratford market. Says The Beacon on this subject: The rate at which wood is sold by the "load" brings the price at from five to six. dollars a cord. The average load is from £10 to 100feet, and for this from $8,75 to 34,00 a cord is colleotod. Bot this is not all. A person with the aid of a rule may get an approximate idea of the quantity, but In many oases the loads aro faced with good freeh wood, while the inside is filled with wood i11 an advanced stage of decay. To sell "dozy" beech for good wood, for instance, is a clear fraud, as it is almost useless for fuel.
