Timms are commencing to warm up
in connection with the forthcoming elver
tions in the United States, While our
American cousins pride themselves on
their freedom. &o., we have no desire to
have ructions in Canada such as neually
go along with ninny of their election con-
tests. Politics may bo bad enough here
but they are infinitely worse on the
other be of the line.
Time tax co'lector will soon commence
his rounds and it would be well for the
ratepayers to nndefetand at the outset
that all taxes must be paid on or before
December 16th instead of February and
March, as was the case with some last
year. A new law comes into force this
year whereby a full and complete state-
ment has to be presented to the electors
on nomination day. Bear the above in
rnind and get your money ready for
Collector !less.
Barnum received by Bradstreet'e com-
mercial agency show that the number of
failures in the Dominion during the first
three-quarters of 1888 was 1,274, oom.
pared with 946 in the same period of 1887.
This increase of about thirty per cent. in
failures is rather startling. The liabilit-
ies of those who failed in 1888 amounted
to $12,441,889, as against $11,083,466 last
year. How comes it that under the
beneficent trade restriction and high tax-
ation policy the number of bankruptcies
is so rapidly increasing?
Oxen more the government of Ontario
have to go into the aourte to defend the
property of the province from spoliation
at the hands of the Dominion ministry
and their followers. For the purpose of
rewarding Quebec's own patriot M.P.,
Honore Robillard, the Dominion gov-
ernment some time ago set up a claim to
the ownership over a large tract of land
in the Georgian Bay district ender the
pretense that it was an Indian reserve.
The Ontario government of oeurse denied
the right of the federal authorities to
seize the timber limits of the province
by calling them Indian reserves, but
meantime the Dominion government had
issued to mfr. Robillard a license to cut
timber on the laud, a portion of which is
in the township of Graham, and it is
understood that he has di -posed of his
interest in the license for $15,000. Now
the provincial government have to fight
for their rights in the courts, and it may
take years before the question is settled
and the intruders repelled. Heavy legal
expenses will have to be incurred in
carrying on the suit, and the people of
Ontario will have not only to pay the
costs incurred in uphoiding the rights of
the province but also the lion's share of
the fees paid to those Tory lawyers who
have been engaged by the federal govern-
ment to argue in the defence of the at-
tempted spoliation. The ultra -loyal fed.
eral ministers prove themselves true pol-
itical heirs of the Tories who stoned the
Governor-General in 1849, by refusing to
acdept the decision of Her Majesty in the
boundary case, and by endeavoring to
parcel up the valuable timber lands of
this province among their boodle follow-
ers.—Ottawa Free Press.

COMMUNICATION.
'retie, 111EL41.It.UNll N•OT4T.2 VCltLf('.
Pe the Editor of Tlm Pow',
klui.-•-with your permission I will re.
ply to that letter written by 0. E. Den.
sterwelle, Notary I'ttlio, N. W. T., and
lumbermtrchaml of lheeraine, pub'ishcd
in your issue of the 21st of September.
First let me describe this individual.
When he speaks his voles sounds like a
btlek,saw coming ageinet an iron pin.
His nelghbors told me that when he
conte there a few years ego, he was a
good-for-nothing going around with the
seat out of his breeches, and all he had
was an old yoke of oxen that he sold to
Mr. Noble, an ex -policeman, for $75,
/then he got word his mother had died
in England, and he started home to get
the few paunch; she had left. When he
returned he tried to apo the English dude
and made himself a laughing stock for all
whoever seen him in the Northwest Terri.
tory. They say in a few years more Itis
few dollars will be spent and the base-
ment of his pants out again. Observe
his vanity in signing Notary Public after
his name to a newspaper communication.
No one but some silly creature would
sign his name officially to anything but
an official document, and to make an
empty sound he tells us that he is a lum-
ber merchant in Deloraioe. When I was
in Deloraine I only saw two fellows that
called themselves lumber merchants, and
they took me to see their lumber yards.
Each ked about as much lumber as a
span of horses would draw upon a wagon,
of little bits of pieces dressed on ono side,
and a few bits of studding. 'Mr. Dun-
sterwelle's Inmber yard I neither saw nor
heard tell of by any ono there. As for
sidewalks made of plank, there are only a
few yards in one place, and in another
place a few yards made of prairie soda
across the end of a pond hole, and a few
houses have a platform in front of them
that do not belong to the public. This
fellow says that he can very well see why
Mr. A. is backing up Mr. Farrow, ex-M.P.
Bryron sass that "& pig could see the
wind." This lumber merchant also says:
"Mr. A. no doubt remembers the affair in
Huron when ho was pelted with mud and
rotten eggs, when his friend Farrow took
his part and assisted him out of the
storming." Mr. Farrow and I both know
that such an affair never took place with
he and I in Huron, or elsewhere. I once
heard that Mr. Farrow and another man
had a law suit in Wingham. The trial
took place at night and Mr. Farrow's
friends, under Dover of the night, threw
some rotten eggs at this man that he had
the lawsuit with, but this Notary Public
and lumber merchant is only the dupe of
an aspiring knave who lives near to him
who came there from Wingham. and
could just as well as not have told the
truth to this simple fellow, about this
Farrow affair. Perhaps John Young, of
the N.W .T., is justified in saying "when
a known greeny comes along nothing
delights a native more than to Book it to
him." I think that Mr. Dunsterwelle,
Notary Public, N.W.T., Crozdon farms,
Sutter P.O., Ana., got it "socked" to him
when he was made believe that I left Mr.
bloCutoheon's broncho 36 miles away on
the prairie, and that I paid $2 per day
for the use of it. This will be amusing
to Mr. McCutohoon when he hears how
the "lumber merchant" got "stuffed."
This Notary Public has got his story
about Mr. Folds a little mixed up, but I
will now 3orreot him. Mr. Folds had
broken ten acres of land for a man that
had cleared out and did not pay him
(Folds) for the breaking, and he asked me
if I applied for this land and got it would
I pay flim for the breaking. I said I
would, but when I went to the land office
I was told by the agent that the Govern-
ment had to be paid for all the improve-
ments done upon oanoelledland. This is
the information I got in the land office
without asking for whish no doubt Mr.
Young referred to in his letter published
the 21st of September. This Croydon
farm man says, "that he had the pleasure
of meeting me one day at Oarnduff and
that I seemed satisfied with the country,
considered it second to none, never dream-
ed of seeing so many settlers so far from
a railroad, &o. One has to use a little
irony sometimes in answer to simpletons
whether they understand it or not. He
says, "I most have gone out of my sena-
es." If so, that is where the Croydon
fanner will never go, because he has none
to go out of. Had he any sense he would
not have talked about North Bay and
Port Arthur as be has clone. What I did
say in my first letter was, when I left
Port Arthur I supposed I was in the dis-
puted territory. He says, "that I must
have got a siakener of the country when I
had to pay more to go home by railroad
than when I came out," and adds, "this,
in his opinion, takes the cake." Now
sir it a evident from this statement that
this fellow travels more at the expense of
the Canadian taxpayer than his own on
his way to and from England.
