hood lodge in this city, with Joseph
Compton, W. M., iu the char, ma report
was submitted from a committee ap•
pointed to inquire into the usefulness
and working or the order. Thi, report
affirmed that, wi'h regard to the work-
ing—one ed its. -arrowed principles, the
order was nothing better than a living
corpse. Orangeiem, it said is absolutely
rotten and impotent for good under the
present regime. A call is made to all
true members of the order to cast out
political schemers and traitors from their
fold.
Now inquiry elicits the fact that
there is no such Orange lodge in
Toronto as Loyal Orange Brother-
hood lodge. There is an associa-
tion of perhaps twenty men—a
-number of them expelled Orange-
men. These men are hostile to the
Orange body, and would be
dangerous if there were enough of
them. Joseph Compton is a Grit ;
and the Orange Sentinel says he
was expelled from the Orange body.
It may be supposed that men such
as he are hardly those who are best
capable of judging whether the real
Orange body is or is not "better
than a living corpse." The fact that
another of the signers of the report
in question is a man who receives
$3,000 or $4,000 a ;year from the

that I think the above is just a little
too much of a puff as I have aright to
know a little about the above myself.
Now, sir, there were several N. C. O.

were just as smart and soldier like as
the above and just as well fitted for
the position and in many if not all
points better drilled in every respect.

HURON CENTRAL NOTES.
Every boy in town owning a horse
should take part in the Great Horse
parade in the morning. The livery
men are making low rates so that
every available horse may be in line.
o not forget that a saddle is not
ecessary as the competition rules
llow bareback as well as saddle rid•
ng. The Townships are likely to
ake a good horse display and the
own must not be behind.
The flower display promises to be
n excellent one thie year and lovers
of floriculture will see something to
nthuse them. Mr. Cottle and Mr.
(unningliame, our green house men,
are both going in for big exhibits
p.nd these will be worth seeing, The
two fountains will be beautifully
trimmed out with plants and this
part of the Exhibition will show
great artistic taste.
Just a word with our township
boys. There is to be a contest on
Tuesday in horseflesh. Five town-
ships and the town are in the corn.
petition. Each township will win
glory by a fine display and a large
number. Do not say because your
horse is not so big or perhaps so
stylish as your neighbors that you
won't go. Keep your township
ahead in number if nothing else.
There aro also valuable prizes at
stake and you want to be in the
sweepstake race. Every competitor
gets a free pass for the day. Now,
Boys, clean up your horses and be
promptly on hand on Tuesday mor.

— Accepting the largest estimate of
produntiun at home and abroad, and evert
aweutring that the Uuitel States and
Canada can export 235,000,000 bushels,
the American Agriculturist still tii,rls a
deficit in the world's food supply of at
least 200,000,000 bushels of wheat and
rye, with a possibility of the shortage,
lacing twice as great. Added to this is the
almost total failure of the potato crop in
Ireland, an 1 a serious curtailment in
the yield r f potatoes on the continent.
—Finding that the English (lovern•
meat is eagerly cisposed to make the
position of the Dardanelles matter a
weapon of offense, Russia has suddenly
changed her diplomacy. M. Nelidcff,

White, the English Ambaaeador to
Turkey, that the alleged occupation at
Sigri, on the island of Mitylenv, by a
British force, does not in sry way con-
cern Russia, and Count Von S•;ouvaloff,
Russian Ambassador at Berlin, has ex-
plained to Chaucellor Von Caprivi that
Ruosia disclaims any special privilege
in the passage of the Dardanelles.
CANADIAN ENTERL'RIGE.
Your readers doubtless remember the
publication in a recent issue of the News•
RECORD of a clipping from the Chicago
Daily Sews about the Canadian Use and
Fuel Company of Chicago, to the effect
that it had been incorporated with a
capital of $5,000,000, was backed entire
ly by Canadian money and that their in-
tention was to erect plants in both the
United States and Canada fir the
manufacture of gas by the T. U. Hall
electric process. The Incorporators were
Thurston U. Hall, Loftus E. Dane.y,
"Pres and Sucy" of the Chicago Smoke-
less Fuel and Gas Co., T. N. Dancey,
Philin Holt, Ilan. M. C. Cameron and
Sir Richard Cartwright. The Toronto
World thought the interest taken in this
financial investment in a foreign country
by our pu5lic men, sufficiently great that
it procured, and in a recent issue publish-
ed, a revised and detailed account of this
gas scheme in which our Sir Richard and
Hon M. C. seem to he so interested. It
