There is no doubt but the grain yields well, but swill the Times state how much per bushel it weighed. A. telegram says that "Canadian eggs are selling freely in London, Eng;, at 7s to7s, 6d. per 125 eggs, that is at the rate • .Qf 15e or 10o per dozen." An eggs are quoted in Clinton at the same price' will some of the restrictionist papers tell ns where the profit will Dome in when eggs are ezported to England. -----•-+•a• The Hamilton. Spectator has discon- tinued! its morning edition, and dropped the price of its evening one to a Dent. Pia,tical newspaper men will at once recognize this as one of the evi- dences of the great ph oiperity that the Spectator continually boasts the country is experiencing. The Government has issued orders planing restrictions on Birchall, and stating that no manuscript, whatever, be allowed to pass from the prisoner and outsiders. This should have been done before. The idea of a man, dead already in ;the eyes of the law being t. allowed as much liberty, as ho was, is simply preposterous. This appears to be a hard year with newspaper men. Within a couple of months three newspapers have been put in the hands of assignees, the Brantford Telegram, Dundas Standard and St Catharines Star, and all of them were Conservative. This is hard 1 uck in any ease, and the proprietors are to be pitied. -.04-4•4144 The London Free Press thinks that "Next year we shall probably begin to export two -rowed barley to the British market." • Wi11 the Free Press tell its readers why we won't export two -rowed barley this ? Will it also state in how many instances the seed sold by the Depart- . ment has grown a grain that meets the Epglish standard ? Because nickel abounds in parts of Ontario, and is likely to be much used by American manufacturers, some of the papers have been advocating that the Government put an export duty on it. What Dr Bell, of the Dominion Geological survey, (and likely to be a Conservative) thinks concerning this proposition, must be complimentary to these editors, for he says that "whoever made this suggestion was, so far as this question was concerned, simply an idiot." The Goderich Star, commenting on the rebuke adminstered to Lawyer Blackstock by Judge McMahon, says:— "There are not a few of the legal frater- nity who are too big for their clothes as it were, even for the ample folds of a lawyer's gown, and they bully and snarl at witnesses in a manner that they would never dare outside of a court room." Our totem, has evidently been at- tending Division Court lately, and based its opinion en what it heard there, +w.di.o---- Farmers, who !want to better their condition—ani they all do—cannot do 't in any eerier or more certain way than by following the advice of Mr John Charlton, who, in an address at the village of Enterprise, the other day, said :— "Hitherto the majority of the farmers in the county of Addington had voted for the supporter of SiriJohn. He would tell them of a better mkrf to vote for, one who would look more closely after their interests, would sympathize with them in trouble and would not tell them that because they did not ride in a lumber waggon, be - 'hind a team of oxen, they were living too high. That person for whom he advised each farmer present to vote at the next election was the farmer him - ,self." At the Sunday School convention held at Brantford last week, Rev Dr. Potts, an earnest conservative, paid a high tribute to Mr Mowat as a chris- tian statesman. Referring to Mr Mow- et's address at Woodstock on Christian - t y, Dr Potts said he hoped if the time ever came when Mr Mowat ceased to be premier of Ontario that the Knox College :,eople would make him a pro- fessor of theology! If they did not lie .evit9 gore the Methodist church world make him a local preacher. The Hon. G-. W. Ross, he said, had addressed the Convention, and he thought that gentle- man in his noble position could not ° lend hie talents to a better cause, but when he read that article on Christian. ity by the AttorneyGeneral of Ontario, lie ttaw in its clearness of thought; ho I Bags in it ability and genius, but be - bind all this he saw the gleanings of b pure dhristian heart. ' "And, Con- aervative as I am," said Or. Potts, "1 elt like drying out, 'Thank God that the")inti. Oliver Mowat it Premier of It in a 4 tuiat at the next aeseiort of I?arliamant,"a measure will be introduc- ed reducing letter postage to 2 cents, Thin will be a move in the right direc- tion. Certain politic:sue are forever boaet- ing of their loyalty to Great Britain but they conveniently forget that they are levying a duty of about 50 per cent on British ironware. The proposed "vigorous foreign trade polioy" of the Dominion governmen t, is simply a means to divert attention from its failure to develop the promised "home market" and will result just as unsuc- cessfully. An A.menioan paper states that three- eighths of the entire population of De- troit are Canadians, and many of them office holders. Give a Canadian an even chance, and he will compete with an American every time, whether it le for a public position or trade. Messrs Frost, of Smith's Falls, Cos - sit, Brookville, Watson, of Ayr, Harris, of Brantford, and Miller, of Morris - burg, and many others who could be named, have declared in favor of unre- stricted reciprocity with the United States, and say they are not afraid to face competition with American imple- ment mannfaoturers on oven terms. This is the true Canadian spirit. Give them an open market and Canadian implements can face the world. ta • • What other Papers Say. MOC'H TO ANSWER FOR. Important as are the issues involved in the question of reciprocity, let it never be forgotten that the term im- plies an agreement between two parties, and that Canada can only be one of these parties. It is highly desirable that the advantages of freer trade rola• tions with the States should be thor- oughly understood, but it will not be safe for the Liberal party to make the teaching of this lesson their one mission in life. That is the position the Con- servative press i endeavoring to place the Liberals in. By a constant fuellede against reciprocity, they are attempting to divert attention from their thousand and one sins of omission and commis- sion. These should not be lost sight of. —St. Thomas Journal. WOULD DEA VAST IMPROVEMENT. It cannot be doubted that straight• out Free Trade would be money in the pockets of the consumers of Canada, for it would vastly cheapen living, and we verily believe it would at the same time prove a benefit to all legitimate manufactures in the country. Of course we would have to resort to direct taxa- tion for revenue—and that, we are aware, is tantamount to suicide in the opinion of the superstitious. It is high time the superstition were banished, and nothing apparently will kill it but a practical demonstration of the advan- tage of knowing precisely how much taxes we aro paying.—Toronto Grip. CRIME AND ITS CAUSES. The bulk of opinion of those having charge of prisoners, judging from the evidence laid before the prison commis- sion, attributes crime mainly to intem- perance and poverty. These may be among the causes, but they are as cer- tainly among the effects. One sheriff who gave evidence came nearer the truth in the estimation of many who have studied the subject, when he put hereditary and association among the pauses. The conditions of life to -day tend towards crime, inasmuch as they apparently make ease and pleasure the great desideratum. Honest toil is no longer held in the esteem it was.—To- ronto News. A POINTER FOR FAR?[ERS Canadian barley shipped toltheUnited States before the McKinley bill wentin- to operation is sow selling in Buffalo for eighty five and ninety Dents per bushel. In Toronto barley is selling for from fifty two to sixty cents per bushel. The American duty on barley is thirty cents per bushel. It is easy to calcul- ate from these figures who pays the duty on barley. Barley can be shipped from any part of Ontario to Buffalo for almost the same freight as to Toronto. Hence, unrestricted reciprocity would be worth just 30 cents per bushel to those who raise barley.—Ottawa Free Press. Conservative Opinion. FROM INTERVIEWS WITH FARMERS, PUB- LISHED IN THE OLO0E. Mr Going, of Wolfe island, is a Con- servative in polities, but finds reason in present conditions to doubt the ad- visability of restriction for the future. He says : --"No man can live on Wolfe Island and not see that the McKinley tariff has done us a great deal of harm. No man can live there and not see that in some respects at least, if not in all, we should be better off if we had free trade with the United States." Mr Halliday and Mr Joslin are among the solid men of the Island. They are sound Conservatives. "Nobody needs to tell us that the McKinley tariff is going to do us harm," said Mr Joslin; "we know that already. We got 73 to 75 cents for our barley a while ago, those of us who were ready to deliver, and those who weren't are now offered about 52 cents. The increase in the duty is the falling off in the price to us, and even if there is an improvement in the market the middlemen will get the benefit of it. I got my barley away at 72 cents, but my son didn't have his threshed and he can't sell at better, so far, than 52 cents. About 150 head of horses were taken over from the island to the American side before the 6th, and now you can't sell a horse better than about $15 less than the old price. You can't eels hay at all just now, be- cause the presses are not working. The men who run them are waiting to see how things turn out. Farms are not worth near as much now as they were ten years ago. I believe that our whole township of Wolfe Island would not sell for the mortgages on it. We are strug- gling on and hoping for better times to Dome. And the way to bring the good times is to give us reoipromai trade with the United States. We are tired of being bled for the benefit of other people." Mr Robert Bullis, another Wolfe Is- land farmer, said : --1 have followed farming for a living, and have until re- cently been a Conservative and a firm supporterlof that party. I have,l•,owevar withdrawn my support, being taught by bitter experience that the policy of protection is injurious to the best in- terests of the country, and that to the farming community in particular it has been most disastrous in its effects. -- Protection is to Canada what landlord- ism is to Ireland, the beggary of the many for the benefit of the few. 'There tett be but t'lio opiiliop,•of the 344lt)loy 1 Bill, and that is that it is ruinous to' Canada, the only silver lining to the cloud being that fife `enormity of. the loss may awali'.on the Canadian fitrmer. to a sense of his duty, and that with this awakened sense of duty Sir John will have on hie next appeal to the country to adopt free trade as his plat- form, or make way fox those who will. Popular opinion is decidedly in favor of the closest trade relations with the United States, and I further believe that if men had the courage of their convictions such a ory would go up in favor of annexation as would surprise the party leaders. To my mind this is the inevitable destiny of Carada, the natural outgrowth of our proteotive system and a coneummation to be de- votedly hoped for. I would hold up to -morrow both hands in favor of it.— This I find to be the opinion held by nearly all my neighbors. ' Notes about Birchall. Detective Bluett, who was employed to work up Birohail's defence, bas sent the prisoner a lone and earnest tele- gram, in which he beseeches him to prepare to meet his Maker by making a clean breast Of his crime. Such a re- , quest coming from such a source may be considered as very significant. Bir- chall appeared to wax very indignant on the receipt of the despatch. It is reported that Birchall has given up hope of a commatatldn. That does net prevent him, however, from appear- ing to enjoy life very well. It is re- ported that the Crown contemplates an investigation as to the manner in which Birchall got "Tho Colonel" letter smug- gled out of the gaol. Mrs Birchall re• ceived a day or two ago another alleged confession, this time from,a lady in the States, who said she had shot Benwell. To judge from the style of the letter it was evidently sent by a lunatic. It was genuine, however. An effort is being made by the boom- ers to turn Benwell's boots found on him to account, the theory being that they were not Benwell's. The defence examined into this matter in the most thorough manner. The boots were Benwell's beyond a doubt. They were of English make and corresponded in size with those in his trunks. Birchall said in one of his letters that he told Benwell that morning to put on heavy boots because the roads would be bad, and Benwell seems to have put on the heaviest and oldest pair he had in his outfit. Ono exceptional fool, who signed himself "O. K.," and asks Mr Black- stock to reply to his offer through a New York paper, agrees for $1,000 to come to Canada, and after making himself conversant with the Swamp of Death and its environments, to confess to having fired the fatal shots at Ben - well. He goes on to state that his life is a burden to him, that his mother and sisters are in poor circumstances, and that ho would be satisfied to risk himself in Birchall's position to see his relatives lifted from the abject poverty in which they are now living. A Woodstock telegram says:—All this talk about the tido of public opin- ion here turning in Birchall's favor is humbug. Sensational newspaper cor- respondents are working their imagina- tions over -time, and sending out large returns. Everybody hero continues to believe Birchall guilty and continues to believe he will be hanged. There is absolutely no hope of a reprieve and Birchall knows it. The evidence at the trial was clear and convincing to both judge and jury. It showed plain- ly that Birchall was the perpetrator of a murder calmly premeditated for days if not for weeks. It will be impossible for the Minister of Justice to go behind - that. No new evidence has come to light. What then can he act on? Not on a petition signed by a few thousands of people whose only knowledge of the 3ase is through newspaper reports. Birchall is being boomed with an ob- ject, but it won't effect the prospective tragedy which will take place early in the morning on Nov. 14 all the same. The following letter was received by the Minister of Justice. MONTREAL, Oct. 31. HoN. Sim, --Should Mrs Birchall press the petitions there is this to remember, namely, that she crossed with Banwell, Pelly and her husband on the boat from England, Birchall's farm must have been alluded to by the young men, and the fact that ,they were to buy it, yet Mrs Birchall never told them that her husband had no farm or money but what he could fleece people out of. She passed as Lady Somerset in Woodstock. After her husband was placed in goal we read that on her first she met him coldly, not even embracing him or shaking hands. What is the reason ? Her husband evidently threatens her if she does not lend her fascinating ways to save his neck that his post- mortem confession will appear, and her participation in his rogueries and possibly this murder will be shown up Yours with respect. (Sgd.) W. STREET. The inspector of prisons evidently thinks that the publicaare hearing too much about Birchall's gaol life and has decided, as far as he can, to put a stop to it. He was in Woodstock on Satur- day and left strict orders with the gaol- er, in consequence of which Mr Cameron declares that not only will no reporter be allowed to see the prisoner, but not one of them will be allowed to even en- ter the gaol. Not only that, but the gaoler is forbidden to allow any manu- script to pass from Birchall to the papers, and in this prohibition is in- cluded such part of the autobiography as has not yet reached the hands of his Toronto publishers. It is known that the publishers are not in possession of all the manuscript, so that it looks as if they may have some difficulty in ge''tting the autobiography completed. Another significant order given by the inspector is that hereafterkll Birchall's mail matter shall pass through the hands of the Crown attorney, Mr Ball, Q.C., instead of through the hands of Mr Cameron, the gaoler, as has been the case hitherto. The prisoner continues to enjoy himself. He retires about five o'clock every morning and sleeps until noon. Then he rises, dresses himself with groat Dare, takes a turn up and down the corridor to increase his circulation, drinks a glass of water, and about one o'clock partakes of bis breakfast The meal consists of some oatmeal. porridge, followed by sausages, canned salmon or chicken, potatoes and a cup of coffee. He then takes a few turns up and down the corridor, lights edger and reads the Mail and other daily papers. Them his correspondence is handed to him by Jailer Cameron, who first examines it to see that everything is all right. Birchall spends an hour or so over the correspondence, which is very volulnihous, and has many a hearty laugh over the ravings of some cranks who are constantly writing to him. At six o'clock he dines on some beefsteak or pork-chop,omelet or poach- ed eggs,with vegetables, tea, and dessert of canned fruit, principally peaches, of which he is very fond. He then smokes another cigar, chats with the guard and Turnkey Forbes until about 10 o'clock, when ho begins work on his biography, and works all night. �Q��,1Ilt�ily. A Mgl;IMcllol Y 4R.—It be. comes mu palest ditty this weak to cbrouiele one of the saddest events that ever occurred in Chit vicinity. Mr Jaynes Calder, a comparatively %ouog rutin, aged 61,who lived on the 3rd cunceesiou ut this towpsbip, end. ed this life, Inst week, by hanging himself. 'vir Calder was a bachelor, and lived alone during the past few years, slice the death of his sister, who kept house for him previous to her death. It seems that Monday of last week was the last time Mr Calder was conversing with any one, and on that day be was in Soafortb, and bad tea with his brother, who lives there, and while there he appeared as happy and cheerful as on ordinary occasions, On the following day he was seen plowing on hie own farm, and stab- ling his horses in the evening. On Wednesday morning he was seen by some of the neighbors, going to his barn, but on that evening his light was missed, as also on the following eveniog, and on Friday morning his nearest neighbor, seeing his cattle and horses out in the storm, and sup- posiug him to be away, went over and tied in the horses. At noon of the same day, the same neighbor sad his little son went over to feed the horses, and the boy, being sent up into the mow for bay, discovered the unfortunate man suspended from a rafter in the barn. As Mr Calder was in very comfortable circutnetan- ces, very steady, cheerful, industrious and apparently happy and contented at all times, the cause Allis rash act will always remain a mystery. His death has cast a gloom over the com- munity, and the symyatliy of all go out to his two brothers, Andrew, in Seaforth, and Robert, of Winthrop, who survive him. Iiippen, NOTES.—The Royal Revivalists are having good meetings here,and we hope to see a strong council organized. Mr Henry and Mise Ivison are visiting friends in Toronto, Peterboro and other eastern points. Miss L. Whiteman is home again. Mrs R. K. McAllister and daughter are home. • News Notes Around The County Mr John Hanna is in the field for the Reeveship of Wingham for 1891. Mr Geo.

Knechtel, Brussels, had the mis- fortune to have one of the bones in his left arm broken, last week, by a kick from one of his horses with which he was working on his farm. Jno. Grafton, of Wroxeter, was fined $25 and costs for selling liquor to a per- son when he was warmed not to. He has appealed against the decision. The case will come off at Goderich. The rector of St George's church, Goderich, recently asked for a special collection, the proceeds to go toward reducing the mortgage debt on the church, and Sunday last the congrega- tion responded to the request by con- tributing some $275. Probably the oldest Orangeman in the county of Huron to -day is Mr Dan. Dunlop, of the 2nd con. of t a township of Howick. He was born in the county of Derry, Ireland, and join lodge No. 737, Ireland, in the year 1 5, and has labored in the interests of-slodge'for the past sixty-four years. Eliza Spahn, the German woman sent up from Exeter, on a charge of threatening to burn the mill of John Sweitzer, was brought before Judge Toms on Wednesday last. Theprison- er pleaded not guilty, and as the indict- ment stood the Crown Attorney an- nounced that he had no evidence to offer, so the woman was discharged. A child about three years of age, daughter of Mr A Murray, of Wingham, met with a very severe accident on Sat- urday afternoon last. She was playing with other children on the roof of a play house, when the roof full in, and the little ones were precipitated to the ground, some lumber falling on them. Both bones of one of her legs were broken. Master Stewart Straiton, of Goderich, who strayed away last week, was re- turned to his parents on Sunday morn- ing, having been found wandering along the road between Clinton and Seaforth. He says he was induced by threats from a band of gypsies to accompany thorn, and taking an opportunity to es- cape at night, when near Clinton and started to walk home, but got on the wrong road. Ee was discovered by Mr James Elliott, of Goderich township, who broyght him to his parents. William Barrie,a well-to-do farmer of the township of Morris, lost his •two valuable bank barns last Tuesday, also a buggy and some other implements. Mr Barrie had entered the barn, and hung his lantern on a beam and im- mediately set about feeding, or arrang- ments to do so, in the lower part of the baro, and when he got through and came up -stairs the upper part of the barn and contents were in flames. Nothing could be saved, owing to the combustible nature of the contents. The whole structure was built on a heavy stone foundation. Lose on buildings $2,000, and on crop probably 91,500, with an insurance of 91,500.

At south St. Paul, Friday, George Robarge, in a quarrel over some prop- erly, shot Benjamin Rogers dead, badly wounded his son, and then went to his own barn and blew the top off his head, pulling the trigger of the shotgun with his toe. Robarge was an anarchist. Some time ago Collector of Taxes Cribbs skipped out leaving the town- ship of Amable in the lurch to the extent of some $2,000. The council then brought an action against Cribbs' son, on the ground that the property had been made over to him with fraudulent intent. But the council failed to make out its case, and the township has been saddled with the expense of the court. Harry Crout,city bill poster,Stratford died very suddenly at his residence Weinesday evening. He went to bed early saying that he did • not feel well but about 11 o'clock he sprang out of bed and, seizing the bedpost, exclaimed "That man has done it. Send for a doctor; I am going to die." He was assisted into bed and died in a few minutes. It appears that he got into a dispute over a drain last summer and was severely beaten. Since then he had complained of pains in his side. and his wife is of the opinion that the injuries he received hastened his death. Canada's Farm Wealth; Mr John Charlton, M. P., speaking at Prescott, made some telling points in favor of unrestricted reciprocity. He proved by the aid of Dominion Government statistics that notwith- standing the tax wall that has existed between Canada and the States, the trade between us and our neighbors was last year greater than that between Canada and Britian.
