The Toronto News pertinently says ; "The government has allowed the free importation of raw materials entering into articles intended for export, in or- der to aid the manufacturers. Will it '^ now accept the American offer of reci- procity in agricultural implements, salt and coal oil, as a means of benefitting the consumer?" Our Patron friends, who advocate the election of such officials as sheriffs, registrars, &c., should study the Amer- ican elections of the last few days, and ' they would, possibly, learn a lesson that would give fresh material for thought.' The system is anything but the success its advocates expected in the States, and there is no reason to hope it would be?any; more successful here. Political, The crest against J, 1.

Canada ought to cultivate a simplicity and ineapenarvenesa of .government which its otherwise excellent system now lacks. It is not statesmanship, and it is not per- manently good politics, to borrow largely and spend lavishly. --Toronto Telegram.

A POINT TO REMEMBER. -If a man rents a house or store, signing the or- dinary form of lease, and during his tenancy erects shelving, counters, gas fixtures, etc., which become attached to the premises, Chancellor Boyd de- cided the ether day that these, at the expiration of the tenant's lease, become the property of the landlord. HERE'S AN OPENING. -One of the latest "reforms" is to have two or more lady members on the directorate of agricultural societies, The Whitby Chronicle says that side by side with this fad "there is growing up a weak- ness for baby shows, a department of agriculture which badly needs encour- agement, and the duty of looking after this class of exhibits will no doubt be allotted to the lady members of the hoard." What do the managers of the Huron Central think of this advarra? REMEMBER THIS. - A well-known barrister gives the following as the rights on the public highways in towns and cities : The streets belong • to teams, and vehicles and pedestrians have no more business upon them than teams would have upon the sidewalk. The crossings at the street corners be- long to pedestrians, who have right of way there by law and against teams. Many drivers ignore the law and dash over the crossings, endangering the lives ofthe pedestrians, without vio- lating the law. No vehicle or horse can, within the law, be driven rapidly over the crossing, nor can the driver obstruct the crossing. ...,sal hat.„- rhattelle Avillbe.Ae-.: fended on the Plea of insanity; should ld he escape the gallows on this plea, the people would be justified in taking the law in their own hands. There have been about fourteen murders com- mitted in Canada during the past year, and not a solitary execution has taken place, although the crime has been brought home to the guilty one. This is not a desirable state of affairs. Thi UnitedStates elections, Tuesday, Went Republican by large majorities. One of the most significant events of the election was the defeat of the Tam- many element in New York, where its baneful influence has been exercised for years. That the result of the elec- tion will have an, effect upon the tariff is certain, but that anything like the McKinley bill will ever be re-enacted, is hardly considered probable. The Czar of Russia, who has just died, may have had some redeeming traits of character', but we fail to see them. Any man guilty of the rank atrocities that he was responsible for in the Siberian exile system, is not Worthy, in ouropinion, of the slightest eulogy. In many of the cases of ban- ishment, his conduct was as inhuman, heartless and atrocious as any savage could be guilty of. Let anyone read Kennan's Siberian letters and they would reach the same conclusion as the American people did, namely that the nations of the world, in the inter- ests of humanity, should unitedly de• mend of Russia the abolition of the infamous Siberian penal system. A Patron Proclamation. All rumors, reports and statements that the Patrons of Industry have or will permit any alliance or affiliation with the McCarthyites should be set at rest by a proclamation by Grand President Malory. It concludes as fob, Judging by the press reports, the people of the northwest ire bound to build the Hudson Bay Railroad, and the probabilities are that the people of Canada will be asked to assist in the undertaking. There are a good many people who have carefully studied the matter, and have long since come to the conclusion that it will be impossible to make such a road a commercial suc- cess. The natural and seemingly in- surmountable difficulties are such that it would be operated only part of the year, and notwithstanding the fact that it would bring the northwest as near to Liverpool as Montreal is, thee does not seem to be any possibility of the west supplying, for years to come, sufficient traffic to keep it running. - Among practical railroad men it is re- garded much the same as a North Pole expedition --• purely speculative, with very little behind it. But it is impos- sible to convince the northwest people of this. They look upon it as a sort of iionariza, that would bring untold pros - verity.

An /excellent program of Scotch songs, readings a d recitations will be rendered. Scotch refreshments The Misses Hall, of Guelph, farewell - ed Sunday evening, after conducting a very successful series of evangelis- tic meetings of three week duration in the Atwood Methodist church. Up- wards of one hundred people have professed conversion as a result of the meetings. A pi ivate note from Rev. J. W. Shilton, Walkerton, says: -"All goes well with us, have had good meetings, being assisted byour mutual friend, Ranton, over 70 joined us on trial l and though most are young, yetY w ll be of advantage to us. Ain pleased with the news the NEW ERA contains, it is like a great big letter every week to us. • The new Methodist church at Kin - burn, opened'yesterday, is one of the prettiest country churches in the coun- ty; it is built of brick, with basement and class -room below, and a very com- fortahle audience room above; the choir -loft is behind the speaking plat- form, while the' seats are arranged in semi -circle form, slightly raised at the rear and the windows of colored glass; the church is heated" by furnace. Ex- ternally the building seeps to he larg- er than it really is; there is, however, ample accommodation for all purposes, and the congregation and pastor, Mr Fair, are to be congratulated on hav- ing so handsome and comfortable a place of worship, Commodious stab- ling has also been provided. The sacramental services of Ratten- bury St. church were held on Sunday last. The attendance at the love feast was larger thau usual, and great inter- estwas shown in this exercise. Sacra- meht was administered at the close of the morning service, the communi- cants, for the first time in the history of the church, remaining seated. This innovation was found to be a decided improvement, and will be observed hereafter. At the meeting of the offici- al board, on Tuesday evening, the finances showed a small surplus, with all claims fully met -a very encourag- ing state of affairs. The following were elected stewards: - Messrs F. Hodgens, W. Cantelon, W. Doherty, H. B. Chant, A. T. Cooper, H. Stevens ffir V:' -R:- Lin -They meriabess-efry the Sunday Scher onimittee elected were Messrs Fowler, urner, Jackson, J. Stephenson and Young. The Quar terly services of Ontario St. Methodist church were held in this church last Sabbath. There was an unusualy large attendance at the love - feast at 10 o'clock, and the meeting was one of great spiritual power. The time was fully occupied by those who were anxious to, witness for Christ, frequently two or three rising at once to speak. The public services both morning and evening, were largely at- tended, especially in the evening when the church was crowded. • The sermons by the pastor were eminently s iritital and were very much appreciated. The evening sermon especially was one of Mr Srnyth's hest efforts the subject be- ing "Jacob's wrestling and victory," it was a sermon' that will not soon he forgotten On Monday evening the Official board met and there was a very pleasant meeting; the business being all transacted in a little over an hour; the following , were elected as the Stewards for the year: -J. Gihbing's, Recording Steward; W. Tiplady, R. Stoneham, J. Taylor, W. Elcoat, T. Townsend and J.

We are glad of the sup- port of all classes and races and creeds. We have stated time after tide that by our principles we stand or.fall. Our platform is so broad that all may stand upon it, and our movementti8 a rising of the masses to accomplish by consti- tutional means that which partizan has failed to perform. We invite all independent electors to come to our assistance. We do not desire that any Government shall be overthrown, but we insist that the interests of the great majority of the people shall not in the future be sacrificed on behalf of the few, and to this end we strive to unite many who have been kept apart for party gain so that we may be able to strengthen the hands of any Govern- ment or power that w,ill honestly en- deavorto make all classes of our citizens equal before the law. I cannot close this letter without proving to the electorate of Canada that I speak for the order, by quoting a resolution passed unanimously at the recent session of the Grand Board of Patrons of Industry. It is as follows: Resolved that the Grand President prepare and have published an article repudiating any connection with Con- servatism, Liberalism, McCarthyism, P.P.A.-ism or any other organization affecting the political or religious standing of the masses, and attempt- ing to take independent political ac- tion." The highest court in our order hav- ing thus declared itself unanimous, reaffirming principles that had already been otherwise pronounced, I hope there will be hereafter no misapprehen- sion as to the intention of Patrons to maintain the most perfect degree of independence and refrain from form- ing any coalition with any existing party, faction or body that may be acting either from _political or religious motives.

Andrew's church at Pickering, and St. John's church, Brougham. The ceremony took place at Pickering. Some anxiety is felt in Winnipeg as to the safety of Explorer Tyrrell and his amateur companion, Mr Ferguson of the Governor -General's staff. The last heard from them was when they had reached the head of Reindeer Lake. Two attempts were made on Sunday, near Belle River, to wreck trains on the Grand Trunk, but fortunately the ob- structions were seen and the trains slowed up in time to avert disaster. On was a freight and the other an express. The store of Eber Cutler, at Ridgeway, Ont., was burglarized on Sunday night, and a few cents secured from the till. The safe withstood all the efforts of the rob- bers, -who fitted themselves out with new clothing and stole some cutlery. '';Humphrey Johnson, aged 65 years, shot his wife through the head, killing her in- stantly, at Collingwood, a suburb of Cleve- land, Ohio. He then ran into the house and sent a bullet into his own bead. His death occurred a few seconds later. Jeal- ously is said to have prompted the tragedy. Muriel Wilson, aged 9, was playing in the' rear of the house of her grandfather, Geo. Hambly, at Swansea, Toronto, when a board which had been torn from the roof of the building, by the high wind, struck her on the head, crashing her skull. She only lived six hours. The action of Sir John Thompson, in deciding to allow the law to take its course in the case of Truskey, is highly commend- able. Trnskey's orime was one of the most deliberate murders of which there is record in Ontario, and to allow the criminal to escape on a plea of insanity would be an outrage on justice. Parker Ferrier, of Toronto, a lad of eight, a few weeks ago E'^t a small wound in his frotu the tare' f a nail in his shoe: Symptoms of 'Tu ti"ibv6 -catfse'd"'is friends of the lad to send him to the hos- pital. He was subsequently discharged, the danger being believed to be over. It, however, developed anew, and the lad died last Saturday night. Mrs Robert Hall, of Blenheim, died at Detroit the other day, where she had been -on a visit to her daughter, Mrs Hoag, who had been ill. When Mrs Hall left Blenheim she was in the best of health, but her use- ful life was suddenly cut off by the buret- ing of a blood vessel, during an epileptic attack. A harrdeome..elapping ooagolefrom Chicago were arrested in Londen,Ont„ Wednesday, Horses are very oheap in Oregon just now. A, herd of eight hundred bead, juet off the range, were sold at an averagu arum of $5 each recently, and a few days age, at a gale of finestook near Portland, asplendid wambo4 team of sorreit mares were sold for 640, and a big bay horse brought ouly $22,50. IJalf a dozen years ago sash horses would have sold readily for 6100 to 6150 eaoh. The present low price of wheat has led to the suggestion that the British Govern- ment should establish public granaries and fill them with suoh a supply of grain as would provide for any period of scarcity. It is contended that as Great Britain is de- pendent on the outside world for her food supplies, a reservoir of food is as essential a part of the national defence as au effi- cient navy. The Webling Sisters. The Stratford Herald says: - The entertainment by the Webiing sis- ters, unlike those by many highly ad- vertised novelties, fully deserved the econium sof praise with which their company was heralded. The Misses Weblings are three pretty, charming young ladies of wonderful talent in the line of high-class entertainment. The scene from Shakesphere's 'laming of the Shrew" was capital, as Was also an April Jest," in which the characters were most aptly taken. The naive ways of petite Miss Lucy quite capti- vated the audience, while the stately Miss Peggy made an excellent inter- preter of masculine character, and the tair Miss Rosalind in her parts also ex- celled. The skirt dancing by Misses Rosalind and Lucy was an entrancing treat to the audience, as was also the Irish jig and the Highland Sword Dance by the same two respectively, dressed in national attire, in connec- tion with the patriotic scene with which the entertainment closed, An air of refinement prevaded the whole proceeding and added greatly to their pleasurableness. They are at the town hall Clinton to -night Bloodhounds for thief -catching are used with much success and speotaoular effect in several Southern and Western States, and Bets of the animals are permanently added to the Sheriff's outfit in some counties of Kentucky and Missouri. A pair of hounds in Hardin county, Kentucky, were set on the trail of a thief one afternoon recently, and, after following it five miles; ran into a house, upstairs, and into a bed in which the thief, his wife and two children were asleep. The Toronto Globe well says: "There is no man in the Liberal party of greater ability than the member for South Ox- ford (Sir Richard Cartwright) no one that has sacrificed more, perhaps no one who has sacrificed as much, in the parby'e ser- vice, and it would be preposterous to as- sume that the Liberals are ungrateful, or do not recognize that to lis other man do they owe more loyalty and gratitude for his estimable services in the cause of good Government in Canada." The American Agriculturist gives details of an experiment as to the relaiiyeavalnes of corn and wheat in feeding hogs. The ex- periment was on a large scale, 10,000 bash of Dorn and en equal amount of wheat be- ing used. The cost of each food was sub- stantially the same. The hogs fed on oorn gained 14 lbs in a given time, and those fed on wheat 17 lbs. The managers in charge of the experiment said wheat yield- ed, under the worst conditions, at least 10 per cent better than corn, and in many cases the result was 25 per cent better, A writer in the Canada Farmers' Sun says: -"The net Dominion debt is now $250,000,000, and the net Provincial debts $20,000,000-$270,000,000 in all. Assum- ing the population to be 5,000,000 -it was only 4,830,000 in 1891 -we owe on Domin- ion and Provincial account $54 per head. In the United States the net Federal debt in July, 1893, on an estimated popls a ion of 66,800,000, was $12.55 per head. The net debts of the individual States amount to $3.50 per head on Federal and State ac- count against our $54." The lowest depth of infamy to which it is possible for a pollee force to sink was surely revealed on Saturday before the Lexow committee, when testimony and corroborative evidence were given proving that the police of New York city black- mailed the abortionists and "protr°red' them as they protected the houses of pros: titution, the gambling dens, the green goods men, and the rest of the criminal and vicious classes of the city who paid tribute to them. What a wrongly appointed, badly officered police force becomes under corrupt organizations suoh as sometimes control the committees of oity councils is shown by the investigation into the workings of The.. Symbol of the New York police system. It must be remembered that the Lexow committee is a legislative committee, composed of senat- Good Wishes ors of the State of New York, and is quite independent of the New York aldermen and civic organizations. The senators who form the committee are not working to, saye the reputation of the force, but to get r at the truth concerning it. Hence the 4 revelations.

Spence, employed at the shingle mill of Craig & Co., Dundee street, Toron- to, was killed while attempting to adjust a belt in the mill Monday afternoon. The belt running from the main shaft to the machine of which Spence had charge slip- 1'ed from the pulley, and Spence attempted by means of a stout stick to replace it while the machinery was in rapid motion. The stick became entangled in the running belt, and, being jerked violently from Spence's hands, passed over the pulley and was thrown back again with terrific force, striking Spence fairly on the cheat over the left lung, crushing the ribs. Spence died in a few minutes, the result of internal hemorrhage. He was 39 years old, and leaves a wife and seven children. Alva Lincoln Hill, aged 82, and Mrs F. G.

George Wensworth answered in the negative, and pointed ont his comrade, Thomas Lawra- son, as a Justine of the Peace, who could perform the ceremony. The couple were then married by Lawrason at the hotel, in the presence of 25 witnesses, who showered them with rice as they took the train east on a bridal tour. The jokers filled out the marriage certificate, which the Michigan - dere signed. Lawrason is s oigar maker and was not antborized legally to bind matches.
