According to the provisions of the Vagrancy Act of the Dominion every idle person, tramp or vagrant, who asks alms or kegs, is liable on summ- ary conviction, before the justices of the peace to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labor. In England a man found begging is apprehended at once and sent Ito break stenos. We have:just as strict a law in Canada, but it is seldom pntin force. The case of Chattelle, the Listowel fiend, should stimulate the authorities to put our Canadian Vagrancy Act into opera- tion, and every man found bogging should be run into jail and made to earn his living by labor. If a few tramps were promptly arrested, im- prisoned and put to work, it would oon put a stop to this vagabond life, Plenty of men, while they can get enoua1i to' eat and drink by begging, will snake no effort to do any honest labor. In most cases the tramp can ••get work, but he is too idle to u1:tle any exertion. This roan Chat Ile, re- cording to his own evidence arid that of others, could get work anywhere as he was a first class laborer, but he elected to lead an idle, dissolute life by stealing, begging nd murder. Give these tramps a wide berth and arrest every. ,one of them found begging or who has not any visible means of sub- sistence. • THE NEW LEADER A7' LONDON. Mr. Marter, the new leader of the Ontario Conservative party, addressed the electors in London last Thursday. night on behalf of Mayor Essery. There was a grand rally and the new leader was quite frequently, cheered as he criticised the extravagant Govern- ment expenditures and declared him- self a prohibitionist. We give a short extract from 11Ir. Marter'saddress re- ferring to the strength of the Reform party in Ontario :- Much has been said since my selec- tion for the office of leader of the con- servative party in the Province regard- ing the few whom I have the privilege and pleasure of leading. I think it ill becomes those who speak in this way to talk in such a planner, because if they would only count up their own numbers they would find upon com- paring the strength of the two parties to -day that we have returned from the battle stronger than our opponents. We lost fewer than they did in the fight: We are to -day, I repeat, stron- ger than are the Reformers, and they should not, I think, try not pass any edium upon the Conservatives because of thesmallness of:our numbers. Look- ing into this question, we find that last year out of a House composed of 92 members, the Government had 58, the Opposition 32, and there were two Independent. The present House is composed of 95, the Liberal members numbering 47. They lost 11 in that fight, whilst the Opposi- tion who number 28 lost only four. The Patrons of Industry are re- presented by 17 members in the. present House, and there are three Independents, thus making the total of 95. Yon will see that the Govern- ment, loss was 19 per cent., while our loss was only 12 per cent. So, I think, sir, we can say, after looking at these figures, that if we did not succeed, we at least did better than the party which has held power for the past 20 years in this Province. We are stronger to -day than they iue, making a comparison of the numbers in the last 'Legislature and the numbers to' day, Now take it in another light. In the last election the Conservatives polled 107,218 votes ; the Patrons and Independents polled 98,021 votes, mak- ing a total of 205,2.39 votes against the Government. \Vhat number of votes did the Government poll ? They polled 153,613. So that to -clay they are in a minority of the popular vete of this Province of no less . than 51,626. (Cheers.] And yet, sir, notwithstanding that they are in the minority of 51,626 votes, they have the hardihood to cling to power, to hold their places, and. to say, "We are the Government," when they have not got either a majority of representa- tives of the people nor a majority of the votes in the country. I say it is a had day for any country when the Government will cling to power under such circumstances, and I am satisfied of this much, that never shall I, nor any gentleman .who may have the honor of leading the Conservative party in. the. Province of Ontario, re- tain office under such circumstances. We world feel -at once that, having lost the confidence of the people, it was our duty to resign, and make way for those in whom the people had placed their trust. [Cheers.] Now, sir, take the position of Mr. Harty in the city of Kingston. Only three years ago Mr. Harty won that constituency by a majority of 764. In June last he was defeated. True, the majority was only one, but, having wiped out the maj- ority which he had secured in 1891 of 764, would any porson in this Province want a more signal defeat than Mr. Harty met within the city of King- ston ? Yet, what is his position ? He is still retaining the office of Com- missioner of Public Works. He went through the form of re- signing, we are told. He hand- ed his resignation to the Attorney - General. But Sir Oliver Mowat says : —"He is of so much use to us, it is so necessary to have a gentleman of the particular persuasion of Mr. Harty in the Cabinet, that we must keep him in power, even although the people of his own ,city say they have no confi- dence in him." 1 say to you that it, is a pity that such a course has been fol- lowed, arid I am sorry to think that the great Reform party have fallen so low as to retain Mr. Harty in a posi- tion which he occupies, when he does not possess the confidence of those who know hien hest. [Cheers.] CrIgnENT MI:1 , When our town cotenl. advocates and threatens lynch la'iv, its editor advocates all that is contrary to the laws of God and man. One murder would not be avenged in committing another. Law is law and British law must be respected. Grey, Huron, Bruce and Simcoe are the great wool producing counties of the pro ince. The output of these four districts was nearly one-fourth that of all Ontario in 1893 and amounted to 240,000 fleeces. Twenty four out of the 29 members elected to the North-west Legislature last week are Liberal -Conservatives in federal politics. Encouraged by Mr Laurier's visit the Liberals endeavored to bring out candidates of their politi- cal persuasion, hut their success is writ in the figures above. Woodstock Times :—"Mr. John Charlton, M. P., called a meeting of his constituents one evening last week, at Simcoe, and only twenty-five voters attended. The American lumber mill man has trade his constituents in North Not folk tired, just as Sir Richerd Cartwright, the would -to American Senator, has done in South Oxford." The Toronto Globe says "It looks like a moral victory for the Demo- crats," in referring to the elections in the States last week. Yes, and.a great victory for the sixty per cent. protect- ionists. In Canadian politics the Globe characterizes a seventeen per cent. tariff the worst kind of robbery and the success of the Conservative party a victory for the Grits ! If Clinton receives arfything like justice from Mr. J. T. Garrow, M. P. P., and the Ontario Government, the Town will receive at least $30,( ) of the Stavely Estate money' for some charitable institution to be maintained by the Ontario Government. Clinton must not be saddled with any expen- sive "luxury" at the after expense of the taxpayers of Clinton or Huron alone. Monday's despatches from Toronto, contain the following :—"Applications for the discontinuing of the protests against Mr. A •Miscamphell, Conserva- tive meniher of East Sinicoe, and against Mr. Garrow, Liberal member for \Vest Huron, have been lodged. The East Toronto petition has also been withdrawn. There were forty- one protests lodged, of which eleven were cross -petitions. There are now but twenty straight petitions to go to the courts The export of horses from Montreal to Great Britain from the beginning of navigation to the end of October reached the total of 5,095. There is a fair Market in England, and much greater advantage. could be taken of it by Canadians than in the past. But before the British market for horses is of greater value to Canada our people must breed horses that the English want. So long as theyo on raising mongrels, they need not look either to England or the United States for profits. When we have better horses they will fled a market. Commenting on the result of the elections the New York •Tribune (Republican) says:—"The overthrow of the free -trade Democracy may have to be followed by a struggle, incl if so by a victory, in the Presidential election cf 1593, before the evil work ot..the last year c'an be undone. Brit it brings at least this glad assurance, that the further progress toward free trade, which the party has promised will not he made. One tis of a Democratic tariff has been enough, and the people have made it clear that they will have no more." It seems that the last; has not yet been heard of the mammoth Canadian cheese, which was one of the notable sights at the World's Fair. A piece of the big cheese was held over by Mr. Jubal Webb, of London, England, who bought it when the World's Fair was ended. and was exhibited by him at the great dairy show in London last month. Among other things said in its praise, the English Live Stock Jour- nal has the following :—"It is now more than- two years since the cheese was made,' :and it has kept good in an extraordinary manner, considering that it passed through those months of tropical heat in the Chicago fair, and ran the gauntlet of arctic cold in a Canadian winter. The cheese is sharp to the tongue, but it is sound and of good quality, while in its youth the flavor must have been of a high order of nierit." The Bruce Herald expresses its ab- horrence of the sickly .sentimentality that is called into existence by such crimes as that lately perpetrated in Listowel. Few of the thousands who flocked to Listowel to view the scene of the murder of Jessie Keith came away without some moment() of the ghastly affair. It is said that some of the people even carried away the earth over which the murdered girl was dragged. And the other clay in Toron- to at the sale of the Westwood house- hold effects the same morbid state was displayed, and the grounds and prem- ises were ransacked to bring forth something that would recall the mysterious affair. Then the se i- inent that is showered on our w est criminals is surely indicative of a ow standard t a f intelligence and w .ak t moral nature. No sooner isa murderer convicted of the crime which fills the whole country with horror, and wrecks the life and happiness of the murdered victim's family and home, than this false pity for the murderer begins to betray itself. The Herald properly re- marks that the great need of the day is the repression of this miserable senti- Sir Richard Ca: twright is hunting rllentality, and a speedy trial and a for votes in the party convention just short shrift for every convicted mor - now. derer. Saving the life of convicted Murderers is misplaced mercy, a violence to ljustice, and a wrong to society. Woodstogk "t3entinei-Review :—“An excellent suggestion is made by the Dundas Banner in its discussion of the verdiet in the Hartley murder case. In Scotland a jury may return a verdict of "not proven." This cannot he done in this country. The accused must be d>ise1ared either guilty or innocent. In such a case as the Brant- ford trial a verdict of "not proven" would have seemed much nearer justice than the one rendered. The catch are usually right. This feature of their jurisprudence looks like an improvement on our system." The well-known writer in the Empire, "Faith Fenton," says :—I had the pleasure of a little chat with Mr. Sutherland, the genial Opposition whip, on the westbound train last week. He was just returning home from his North-west tour with Hon. Mr. Laurier. They had an enjoyable trip, he said, saw much, were hospit- ably entertained, had fine weather all the way, and held an uninterrupted series of successful meetings. British Columbia is in good condition, he averred, and the mountain scenery is all that is claimed for it in magnifi- cence. "How about the people?" I enquired. "The people: well they quite disagree with the Government policy, yet vote Conservative every I time. Queer, isn't it ?" "Yes," said, "It doesn't look as though the disagree- ment wasvery serious." They vote Conservative because they can do worse, and will continue on the side of progressive government. The American Elections. When Grover Cleveland was set up as candidate for a second terns of the presidency the Democrats_"•constructed a platform whioh leaned toward free trade. At the time it was looked upon as a party cry for use during the elec- tion. But it subsequently became evi- dent that •the Democrats intended to reduce the tariff. Then trouble cern- menced. Factories were shut down, lnines closed up, banks failed, and in- tlustry of all sorts was paralyzed;'rner were thrown out of worn by hundred - of thousands, starvation stared mill- ions in the face, and the whole Unites' States fell into a condition the like of which it never saw before. The Demo- crats went on with their.tariff revision and finally evolved a bill which vas ac- cepted. The new bill, although cutt- ing down the old tariff rates to a con- siderable extent, provided for a tariff higher than that of Canada. Then the Canadians saw an amusing thing. They saw Canadian 'free traders re- joicing over the -new American tariff, and declaring it to he "a step in the direction of free trade," and at the same tine ferociously denouncing the milder tariff of Canada. The settle: went of the tariff question in the Unit- ed States revived business to a slight extent—manufacturers and merchants then knew the extent ol'the harm done and proceeded to make the best of it. But the people were not satisfied. Tuesday's elections decided the pond-. cal complexion of the next house of representatives, and decided it in favor of the }sigh tariff party. The move- ment against tariff tinkering cove:•ed the whole country from Maine to Ore- gon and from the Canadian • border t:a the Gulf of Mexico. It V. -as a tremend- ous uprising of people avh.t had had a brief experience of the blessings inci- dent to "a step in the direction of free t'•ade," and that step was condemned le, overwhelming mrjoricies. The people of the United States declared on Tuesday that they would have no feee trade, nor anything approaching free Made. Two years of hard tunes was quite enough tea satisfy theta that it was to the interest of the United States to maintatn a protective tariff and they swept the Democratic tariff tinkerers out of existence. While the main circus exhibition was in progress there were also some side shows. -In New York state Hill a Demo( - 3 machine politician, sharp, shrewd and unscrupulous, and repte- sentinn .sue Tamnrany.eleme it, was op - hosed `by Morton, Republican. To aid the election of Hill, and •to whip the Irish into line, a tremendous out- cry against the A. P. A. was main- tained by Hill .journals and orators throughout the campaign. The outcry had the expected effect. But the rev- elation of Tammany boodling in New York drove good Democrats into the Republican lines, and the result was that the Tammany party was downed —itis to be hoped never to rise again. The downfall of Tammany was one of the great resu.ts of the most corrupt election machine in the world and not only in the city of New York but throughout the entire United States good men will rejoice at its downfall, for Tammany has more than once made the President of the United States. People Who Succeed ARE THEY WHO LIBERALLY PATRONIZE THE NEWSPAPER. Some men have succeeded in busi- ness without advertising. Men have fallen from high buildings and escaped death, but the chances of such ven- tures are too much against immunity from serious injury to make the amuse- ment popular. People prefer—and wisely—the side of the general rule. Take the great firms of the world's cities and study their methods, You will find they are liberal, judicious and persistent.advertisers. Take the successful men of your own city or town. Are they not those who obtain something good, and then use the newspaper to get the ear of the public ? A man does not light a candle and put it under a bushel. ' If he has goods that are worth examination the wise merchant invites the public to come and visit his establishment and buy lois wales. Nowadays the seller cannot afford to sit, clown and await develop- ments. He must hustle while he waits, or spiders will weave webs edown his shelves, moth and rust will corrupt his goods, and they will remain with him as "nominal assets" and landmarks in the history of out-of-date fashions and styles. Just a word or two about some of the pushing men of the time—men who have reason to know the worth of the' newspaper as a means 'of making busi- ness. Mr. G. T. Fulford, of Pink Pills fame, whose name is ahousehold word, spends , over $590,089 a year in news- paper advertising, It pays. Scott & Browne of Philadelphia, spend about $1,000,000 a year in news" paper advertising. They are annually increasing their advertising and their business. Mr. J. C. Ayer left $15,000,000 and testifled that he owed his fortune to advertising. Wells, Richardson & Co. pay $600,- 000 a year for advertising their goods. They find it a profitable investment. But why individualize? The great merchants and. manufacturers the world over are a unit in advertising by profession ani practice. The good newspaper's advertising columns are the register of the business men of its city. According to their tracle merits they find prominence there. Even the non-entel;prising get into the paper sometimes, for in due mime =such men's stocks fall into the hands of leen of modern methods, and the sher- iff does what might have saved thein had they been wiser in time—tells the readers of the newspaper that he has goods to sell. • Stanley Two young men, from the neighbor- • hood of Blake, Came to Varna, two girls to keep awake ; They chatted long, the time went fast; John never came, they stood aghast; The rain came on before it's time, They wandered up and down .And hills did these young leen climb Before they reached their homes.
