DEIIORN ING OF CATTLE.
THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT IT
BE ALLOWED.
Tho report of the Ont trio commie•
810n on the dehorning of cattle, which
has just been issued in book form,
makes a volume of 130 pages and giv,es
in concise, form all the available in-
formation on the subject, together with
the ev idence heard before the commis°
sion and the finding of the commission -
era. The book is particularly useful
in that it id likely to prove the text
book for thio continent on cattle de -
horning, no other publication yet iseu-
ed covering the same ground.
The commission held about 30 meet-
ings, chiefly at Toronto, London, Tilson-
burg, Ingersoll and Ottawa.
In the examination of Witnesses the
commissioners sought to ascertain
"what commercial advantage accrued
from the operation ; what were the
humane considerations as shown by
the conduct of the animals towards
each other before and after the opera-
tion ; the amount of pain inflicted by
the operation as judged by the anatomy
of the part, the actions of the animal
during and following the operation,
and the probable duration of the suffer-
ing ; the effect upon the general condi
tion as- evidenced fn_th.e...flow of milk,
lose of appetite or weight or undue rise
of temperature; the possibility of fraud
as to age when the horns were removed;
the • extent to which oknobbing or
fibbing the horns was serviceable as a
preventive of goring; the best age, the
proper season and the most suitable in-
struments for the operation if it should
be permitted ; the relative advantage of
taking the horns off when developed,
preventing their growth by meant; of
caustic at two weeks old, or cutting but
the embryo horn at the age of a month
or six weeks."
Evidence waa received from repro
sentativee of all the interests affected
by the practice, including general
farmers, dairymen, drovers, exporters,
wholesale and retail butchers, cattle
market attendants, tanners, hide mer-
chants, veterinary surgeons, med•cal
practitioners and members of humane
societies—about 100 in all.
Of the farmers examined, nearly 70 in
number, all who had either performed
or seen the operation performed, with
three "or four exceptions, were strongly
in favor of it, the majority stating that
they were prejudiced against it on the
grounds of cruelty until they gained a
practical" knowledge of it. Of the
farmers opposed to the practice not
more than three •or four had ever seen
the operation performed, but they
thought it .cruel and unnecessary.
Evidence as to the loss caused by ani-
mals using their horns upon each other
was given by cattle buyers and others
in frequent attendance at the cattle
marlcet, and also by butchers and tan-
ners. Among veterinary surgeons 'e
eoneiderable conflict of opiniou was
found to exist. As in the case of the
farmers those who had seen the opera=
tion and observed its effects were in
favor of it, while those who had not
seen it were opposed to it.
In addition to the evidence as to the
amount of pain involved in the opera-
tion, much evidence was received as to
the commercial advantages' accruing
from the operation, and emphasising
the point that a great deal of suffering
is prevented by the removal of the
horns.
The report in ite various chapters
gives information along the following
lines :—Origin of the practice in Ont-
ario and the circumstances leading to
the appointment of the oommission ;
anatomy of the horn ; reasons for the
practice, such as quietness, more easily
handled and lees dangerous; less liable
to suffering and extent to which the
value is increased by the practice ; the
amount of suffering and the practice
from a humane aspect ; the suggested

"All the evidence goes to show that
the possession of horns by cattle, in
addition to causing a great and pro-
longed suffer tng, means a loss • iu
the aggregate of hundreds and thous
ands of dollars to the farmers of thie
country. The dairying and cattle ex-
porting industries are two of the most
irnportant in Outario, and anything
materially affecting them must affect
more or less all classes and interests in
the province. Tho total number of
cattle owned in Ontario last year, as
cording to the bureau of industries was
1,978,815. Of this number 773,234
were mulch cows ; 359,318 were store
cattle over two years, and 839,547
young and other cattle. The exports
of cattle frorn Canada into great Bri-
tain wero 108,289, and the value was
$8,623,202. As the large proportion
of this trade goes from Ontario it will
readily be seen that if the statements
of witnesses are correct—that deborn-
ing increases the value $5 per head—
there would be®a total increased value
for export cattle from Ontario of near-
ly $500,000 per year.
"The report of the Ontario depart
ment of agriculture states that last year
-(1891);, there }veru in operation 838
cheese factories, with 45,066' patron.
The supply of milk was 855,453,574
pounds from 296,196 cows, - and 61,-
929,042 pounds of cheese manufactured
was sold for $7,656,484. The progress
being madeby this industry is shown in
the fact that the total output was 13,•
000,000 pounds higher than the aver-
age for the previous nine years.
The commission recommended as
follows :—
"(1) That the praetice of deborning
be permitted whore performed with
reasonable skill, with proper appliances
and with due regard to the avoidance
of unnecessary suffering, and that the
Ontario government should bring to
the attention of the Dominion
Government the desirability of
amending the law relating to cruelty to
animals, so as to give effect to this re-
commendation.
"(3) That tho Ontario Government
should direct the management of the
Ontario experimental farm to experi•
went with chemicals on the horns of
young calves, and also cutting out the
embryo horn, with a view to ascertain•
ing whether these methods are more
desirable than sawing off the horns
when they have attained their full
gro nth."
GOLDWIN SMITH AND
LOYAL TJLSTER.
How can Mr. Goldwin Smith have
the hardi hood to write each words sa
the following in a recent issue of thel
Times 2 If the reader will substitute
the word Canada for Ulster, he wil
see that in this Dominion the annexa
tion ist professor is striving to do what
he affects to condemn in Ireland.
"Is it not the highest and most vital
right of the Ulster minority to be part
of a great nation 1 How will you
guarantee toit that right when you
have torn it frorn the nation to which
it clings, and left it tacked on ae an
alien appendage to a nationality hostile
in character, and the offspring of a
secesaion in which Ulster has no
part 1"
This man seems to have neither con-
science nor consistency.
—At a recent auction sale of land,
43 acres neer Belmont, the farm was
bought at $10,000. This has no ap-
pearance of land going down.
—A fatal case has been recently re•
ported in South Sitncoe in which a boy
of eight fell into a comatose condition
after eating two nutmegs, and died
within twelve hours.
THE DOMINION PRE tf 1ER.
SIR JOHN '1'tIOMPSON'S HISTORY.
Sir John Thompson was horn in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Noeember 10
1844. Hie father, John Sparrow
Thompson, was a native of Waterford,
Ireland, who, after comiug to Canada,
was for a time queen's printer, and sub-
sequently superintendent of the money
order system of Nova Scotia. The bap•
Hemel name of the new premier waa
John Sparrow David, but the middle
names are now rarely used, either by
himself or the writers who so fregireut
ly refer to him. Sir John received
his early education at the common
school and the French academy in
Halifax. He was called to the bar of
Nova Scotia in July, 1865, and appoint
ed a green's conn -eller in May, 1879.•
In 1870, when 26 years of ago, h'.+ bier-
ried Miss Annie E Affleck: Ile was'
very -successful in his legal career, and
was counsel on behalf of the .United
States government, aetieg with the
American lawyers before the fi•hery
commission sitting at \\Taahington un-
der the Washington treaty. From an
early age he interested himself in poli-
tics, and in 1878 he was appointed a
member of the executive council and
attorney -general of Nova •Scotia, enc
ceedino to the office of premier and
attorney.general in 1883. This office
he only held two mouths, when he
accepted an appointment as a judge of
.the supreme court of Nova Scotia.
His entrance into the larger field of
Dominion politics took place in 1885,
when he was called upon to accept the
position of minister of justice and
attorney -general of Canada, which
office he has held until his present ap-
pointment as premier. .I•n -August,
1888, he was created K. C. M. G. for
services in conreection with the nego-
tiation of a fishery treaty.

CRANE'S CAREER OF CRIME.
WHY DUN'S CHIEF CLERK AT DETROIT
SKIPPED.
LYNCHING Too GOOD FOR THE
SCOUNDREL.
'rhe cause of the disappearance of
Edwin Crane, chief clerk for Dun's
mercantile agency, Detroit, is now ex•
plained. Crane was born in Northamp-
tou, Eng., 31 years -ago. -IT•e was a
wild boy and narrowly escaped a pri-
son several Aimee before be was 20
years old. His treatment of his poor
old mother at this time was simply
scandalous. Being a clover musician
and dabbling somewhat •in amateur
theatricals, Crane met and fell in lova,
or said he did, with Agnes Burditt, an
amateur actress, whose home was ,in
Leeds, but who was visiting in North-
ampton. She was young, scarcely 19,
and fell en easy victim to Crane's wiles.
He rained her under the promise of
marriage. The wedding day was set
and arrived, as did the hour, but no
bridegroom came.
An investigation proved that Crane
had robbed his mother of every cent ni
ready cash which she had and fled to
parte unknown. Fleeing to Liverpool,
Crane embarked for America' with the
funds stolen from hie mother. On the
voyage over Ciane again, by his musical
abilities, became acquainted with
George Fornette, the son of Mr,
Fornette, the then inspector of customs
at Montreal. The two became fast
friends, young Fornetto prevailing up-.
on Crane to accompany him to Mon-
treal, where he promised to prevail
upon his father to appoint him to a
clerkship in the custom house. Ari iv
ing in -Montreal it was found that there
were no vacancies in the custom house
at that time, but that there would be
inside of a year. Young Fornette then
secured a position for Crane in Mit•
choll & Son's foundry, corner of Craig
and St. Peter streets, as checking clerk.
Ere math months had passed Crane
was all the rage in Montreal. His
voice caught the town, and he moved
in the most select circles. Ile
met one evening a pretty, black-
eyed little French girl, Emilie
Lafevre. Her mother kept a milli-
nery store on St. Catherine street.
The girl, of lowly birth, thought she
was made up in musical circles, posses-
sing as she did, a soprano voice of re-
markable strength and sweetness.
Crane, with his old escapade still fresh
in mind, started in with another. He
woad and, won the French girl. As
with Agnes Burditt, so it was with
Emilie Lafevre. He ruined her.
Again waa set a day far his marriage,
thio time to Mies Lafevre. A few
weeks previous to the time set for the
wedding be began borrowing money,
and preparing to floe. As he then
owed about everyone in town, he
found money a scarce article. Mrs.
Lafevre, who was a widow, as is cus-
tomary with the French people, had
for months been saving up for ber
daughtet's dowry. She should not go
to her hu eband empty handed: if the
dowry was small, she should havesome-
thing. Crane knew of this. One
night, while visiting Miss Lafavre, he
stole the money from a fruit jar in the'
parlor, where it was kept, while Miss
Lafevre was out of the room, The
next day wee their weddix day.
When the hour for the ceremony ar-
rived Crane was miles on his way to-
wards
Detroit. Threa months later a
child was born -to -Miss-Lafevre: The-`”.
day Crane flew hie appointment to a '
clerkship in the custom office was sign-
ed ere it was known that he had depart.
ed, It was intended as a wedding gift
from his friend, Mr. Fornette, the in•
epector of customs.
Crane arrived in Detroit 10 years ago
and slept in n seat at the depot. Fred.
Minch,ener, son of George Minchener, >'
manager, of Dunn's mercantile agency,
heard Crane sing; listened to his'!
plausible story, and finally took him
in hand, prevailing upon his father to
give Crane a clerkship. His voice
got him into society and he mar•
rigid a banker's daughter. About this
time Emilie Lafevre, the poor little
French girl ho bad deserted in Montreal
in some manner learned that Crane
was in Detroit. The man's sins seem-
ed to find him out. She began writ.
ing him, at last becoming so persistent
and threatening to come to Detroit if,
he did not send money to help care
for her child, that Crane became alarm:
ed, and telling his troubles to several
peo Ile there asked their advice. They
with one accord, advised him to
do the honorable thing by sending her
money. This he did for three years.
Tiring of it at last he wrote Miss
Lafevre that he was to start for San
Francisco that day and she would hear
from him no more. And she never
did, as far as known. A year ago
both mother and child were alive and no
d,ubt aro to -day. Peace and happiness
wore not for Mr. Crane, however.
Mrs. Burditt, after years of enquiry,
discovered his whereabouts. She
wrote that their son was now a boy in
school and she needed money to aid
in his education. He refused to send
it, so she came on there. She mot
Crane in a room in the Franklin House.
Ho tried to bluff her, and she ebot
at him and milaed. She swooned, and
Crane, after paying the clerk to keep
quiets left. The next day he dinar -
ed with $600 of Homer Wa It's-
money,$1,200 from several societt a of
which he was treasurer, and, it is alleged
some of Dun's money. The clerk told
hie story to -day. Crane, it has been
discovered, bought a ticket for Liver-
pool in New York. His mother is
Mrs. E. E. Cooper, she having remar-
ried after the death of Crane's father.
She lives at Walworth, eoutliueast,a sub=
rub of London. In a letter received hero
from her addressed to Crane, which
was opened by his wife, , the mother
complained bitterly of his treatment of
her and begged him to send her nosey,- ;
if over so little. Hie wifo in Detroit
is heart broken.
