FIFTY TON'S OF DRIED APPLES.
The question was asked in the Lgin-
don Free Press some weeks ago what
are Ontario farmers doing to forward
the trade in dried fruit. The answers
that came in from several quarters
showed that a great deal was being
done, and that our farmers and orch-
ardists were fully alive to the iu.port-
anee of this branch of economy. Now
we read in an exchange that "Mr. J. C.
Oppenheiser, of Walkerton, used over
12,000 bushels of apples this season.
These were culls, and otherwise would
have been a dead loss on the farmers'
hands. When dried there were over
59 tons."
DOMINION' FLVAVCES.
The fluanciaal returns of the month
of December show, when compared
with the same month in the previous
year, something to the good. Com-
pared with the year 1893, the improve-
ment, $79,241, is not large. Sill it
shows an upward trend, the import-
ance of which is enhanced by a corres-
ponding reduction in expenditure of
$121,95) for the month, equivalent to a
• betterthent of $201,191. The revenue
-
pillearefanbffeavas $2,794,431, compared
with $2,71115,182, tiering the correspond-
ing month of the previous fiscal year.
The expenditures were $2,079,379 and
$2,201,329 for the respective periods.
• For the six months, ended Dec. 31, the
revenue amounted to $10,309,488, or
$1,916,223 less than was collected dur-
ing the first half of precedingfiscal
year, while the expenditure, 14,129,-
418. was within about a quarter of a
million of expenditure for the corres-
ponding period of 1893. Deducting the
ordinary expenditure from the reven-
ues there remains a surplus of $2,270,-
008, as a result of the fiscal operations
of first six months of the fiscal year
1894-5. This considerably more than
covers the capital account expendi-
ture of $2,085,209 during the same
period. During the first half of the
previous year the expenditure on capi-
tal account amounted to $2,783,001.
There was a decrease of $300 for excise
duties during December.
CU.RRBN7' TOI'1C.',.
According to the London (Eng.)
Board of Trade returns for 1894,
British imports fresh Canada increased
during the year £189,000 or nearly 5 per
cent., as compared with 1893. The
increases include sheep, £230.000;
cheese, £100,000 ; eggs £17M00 ; fish,
£290,010), and wood, £3.50,000. The
decreases include Nutter, £100,000;
wheat, £270,000, and metals, £4,000.

Special letters of naturalization are
granted tr, foreign residents of seven

Whether it is the result of the excell-
ent orgaunizantion of the temperance
.forces in Ontario and a consequent im-
provement in public sentiment, or an
increase in the consumption of less in-
toxicating beverages, the Kanner Pro-
) of the Dominion is getting sober-
er'every year. in 1881 the committals
for drunkenness were 1 to 400, and in
1891, they were reduced to 1 in 900. in
Quebec there has Leen as great a
change in the other direction, the fig-
ures for 1() years ago showing that one
in every 800 of the population were
committed for drunkenness; and those
for 1894 an increase to one in every 339.
The retrogression in Quebec is probably
dire to the illicit whisky trade in the
lower Province.
The capital destroyed in Toronto in
the two big fires represented hu earn-
ing power of at least $00,000 a year.
The earnings even of one year would
buy a good many fire engines and give
the Queen City much better tire pro-
tection. The underwriters threaten
an advance in insurance rates.
Tho reading of the speeches of Dal-
ton McCarthy since his defection from
the conservative ranks are scarcely
pleasant reading for Dither friend or
foe. Mr. McCarthy, to put it mildly,
has weakened very much in thought
and expression, or he is grievously re-
ported. If the first. future years look
very ominous for the formerly clever
gentleman.
In 1892, three worsen wt;re elected to
membership on the Toronto Board of
Public School Trustees. In 1893, one
was defeated, when she stood for re-
election. This year another one failed
and there is only one left. It looks as
though Toronto is willing to dispense
with female school trustees. Two
women offered themselves for election
this year and hath were ungallantly re-
jected.
The new Quebec libel law has passed
the Quebec L'egislat ure, and while it is
a step toward affording publishers
some protection, it is not a commend-
able Measure. It is modeled after the
Ontario law, but the lines are not
drawn closely and there' are loopholes
through which a malicious prosecutor
may escape. For instance, the section
which provides that a defendant may
demand security for costs from pet sons
taking actions for libel against his
.paper, requires the plaintiffs to give
security in an amount not to exceed
$50 at the discretion of the judge.
There is no safeguard in that against
actions of a trivial nature. In the case
of actions involving acriminal charge,
no security for costs can he demanded,
expect under exceptional circum-
stances. It is a step forward,
however, and gives Quebec newspapers
a trifle more protection than has hith-
erto been vouchsafed them under the
law.

A few extracts from Mr. McCarthy's
speeches and letters since he left the
Conservative party may or may not
show where that gentleman now
stands. But here they are, and the
reader is at liberty to make the hest of
them:
At Stayner, after the death of Sir
John Macdonold:
It is not so much a question of policy
that has driven me ant of the ranks.
Itis the first time since I have been in
public life that I have been ignored in
the formation Of it new government.
If 1 cannot be taken into the confidence
of the councils of my party, it is time
for me to assert my independence. In
the same speech he said :
I amt a national policy man, and if we
could settle this Manitoba question,
we could still afford to spread out upon
trade matters while adhering to the
National Policy in all its integrity.
Then he wrote this to the North
Si►ncoe Conservative association:
'I think I made it plain, at least I
tried t� do so, that my reason for sep-
arating myself from the ministerial
party was due to the fact that I had
been attacked' by the government
organ, the Empire, which attack I
thought must have been inspired by
the administration or if not so inspir-
ed had not been denied or repudiated,
and therefore I had no other alterna-
tive than that of holding the govern-
ment responsible for it.
A few days ago he said of his sev-
erance with the °onset vative party
that " it wars lint a quarrel of men; but
a quarrel of measures," and he pro-
ceeded to thump the National Policy
soundly.
Queer man, McCarthy.

SECOND ANNUAL BANQUET OF LIVER-
POOL LODGE, S. 0. E.
This event was celebrated by the
brethren of Liverpool Lodge, God-
erich, last evening, to mark the install-
ation of the new officers for 1895.
Saurlts Bros., of the Union Hotel, were
the hosts and well did they prepare for
the comfort and convenience of their
guests. About 50 gentlemen sat down
to a hill of fare that has not been ex-
celled at a gathering of this kind,
chief among the substaantials and deli-
cacies provided heiog the national
dishes of roast beef and plum padding.
President Warrington headed the
table, vice-president Dytnock at the op-
posite end. D. D. Thomas Jackson, of
Clinton, who had perforated the instal-
lation, was seated on the chairman's
right, and in response to the toast, of
the Supreme Grand Lodge, expressed
his satisfaction at the progress theso-
ciety was making throughout thDo-
minion, the lodges in Huron being' all
in , a sound position financially and
numerically. The toast list opened
with "The Queen," loyally honored
with a verse of -the National anthem,
and a few words from Bro. Wm,
Wakefield.
"The Army and Navy" brought out
at stirring review from President War-
rington of famous achievements by
British forces during the present cen-
tury, including some of the thrilling
scenes in the Zulu war, of which Bro.
Warrington wits a witness.
Bro. Dymock very fitly followed this
with "Balaclava," sung in excellent
style.
"Old England" was responded to by
D. McGillicuddy in so enthusiastic and
fervent a strain ars to :almost suggest
that he was no longer an apostle o f
annexation.
Jolly Bro. Lanham gave his old stand
by, "The Farmer's Boy," with chorus.
