departed this life for her eternal homo, after a long and protracted illness which was borne with Christian resignation and fortitude, despite wliat the best medi- cal skill could do to check that most insid- ious disease, consumption. Wo will not expatiate on tho many virtues of the dis- eased but merely state that she was a woman whom to know’, was to esteem very highly and her early death is a deep blank to >îcCrimmon at large and particu- larly to lior co-partner in life and a serious removal from a sphere of usefuhios.s she was so well fitted to occupy.

There is nothing in life sadder than to see a strong man stricken with paralysis. Alive, yet dead to the duties and activities that belong to life, the paralytic, until a comparatively recent period, was doomed to ijass the remainder of his days in a hopeless and helpless condition. But since the discovery of that wonderful medicine given to the world under tho name of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, those stricken with this formerly incurable disease have now the means of Vegaining health, strength and activity. Hundreds in various parts of the country who were holpless,bed-ridclen invalids have been restored to health by this incomparable medicine. Among those who have been thus fortunately restored to activity is Mr. Allan J. McDonald, a well- known resident of Nine Mile Creek, P.E.I. Mr. McDonald says :—“In the fall of 1893 I injured my back, and during the year succeeding suffered great pain. I had no less than four physicians attending me at different times, but without any benefit. Before the end of the year I was forced to give up all active work and was rapidly falling into a condition of utter helpless- ness. On two occasions tho doctors encased me in plaster of paris, but it did no good. My limbs kept getting weaker and weaker, with a twitching motion and I dragged my feet when I tried to walk. Finally I lost all power of locomotion and absolutely all power of feeling from tho waist downwards, and I was as helpless as a piece of wood. In this half dead and half alive condition I laid m bed for eleven months not able to help myself in the least. Physically I did nob suffer much, but mentally the agony of those long weary months cannot be described. I was at last told by the doctors that there was no hope for me, and that I was doomed to pass the remain- der of my days a helpless, half lifeless piece of humanity. Providentially soon after this I read of a case similar to mine cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It gave me new hope and iny friends got me a supply of the pills. After the use of a few boxes I found that life was slowly returning to my limbs. I continued using the pills gradually getting stronger and stronger, until now, after the use of thirty-two boxes I am able to walk about smartly and can do light work, and I feel that I am gaining new strength every day Words cannot express the thankfulness I feel at again being able to go about actively after passing through that terrible ordeal, and I sincerely hope that my experience may be tbe means of bringing back hope and health to some other sufferer.”

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills strike at the root of tho disease, driving it from tbe system and restoring tho patient to health and strength. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheu- matism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these are superior to all other treat- ment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a buiden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excess, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.

Sold by all dealers or sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 82.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady, N. Y. Beware of imitations and substitutes alleged to bo “just as good.”

GHANGES IN THE SCHOOL LAW.

At the last session of the Provincial Legislature, very important changes were made in the school law. Below we give the following circular which has been sent by tbe Minister of Education to county and township councillors, containing ref- erence to the most important changes made. Our rural school trustees should pay particular attention to section No 7 of the said circular. It will bo observed that hereafter there will be no municipal school grant, instead of that the township council must levy $50 for every school, which, with the $100 grant, will now amount to $150. Trustees when sending in their requisition to the township council for the school levy in August, must remember that if their school has been iu operation during the whole year, they will receive $150.

School authorities should clip this circu- lar from our columns and keep it for ref- erence, until they get their copy of tbe Amended Sohool Act, which will not be till 1807. CIi:CCI.AU TO COUNTY AND TOWNSllII’ COCNCIL-

GK.NTLKMEN,—I have the honor to call your attention to some amendments made to the Public and High Schools Acts dur- ing the last session of the Legislative As- sembly.

(1) Provision is made for “Continuation Classes” in Public Schools situated in a municipality in which no High School has been established. The object of these classes is to enable pupils who have passed tho entrance examination to a High School or who have finished a Public School course, to continue their studies as far at least as the second form of the High School. Boards of Trustees are at liberty to collect reasonable fees from pupils who have passed the Public School leaving ex- arrjinalion ; pupils who have passed the entrance examination only are to be

admitted free. The trustees shall appoint for such classes a teacher with tlio cjnalifi- cation of an assistant in the High .School, unless the teacher in charge is rcqiorted by the Inspector as fully qualified to give the necessary instruction. 'The County Coun- cil may aid such schools by a grant equal to tho Legislative grant, or such further sum as it may deem expedient. Tho Minister of Education is authorized to pay for the maintenance of each pupil the average amount paid for High School pupils. (Section 8.)

(2) In all elections for Rural School Trustees, a farmer’s son, qualified to vote at a municipal election, is qualified to vote for a school trustee or may be elected as a school trustee. (Section 9 and 12.)

(3) Boards of school trustees are required to hold their first meeting for the organiza- tion of tho board on the Wednesday fol- lowing the annual meeting, at the hour of four o’clock in the afternoon, and at the school house. (Section 10.)

(4) Walls or fences for the enclosure of tho school premises shall be erected and maintained by the Board of trustees at the expense of the school section. (Section 34.)

(5) A petition for tho formation of union sections will bo legal if signed by five rate- payers of the municipality asking for the appointment of an arbitrator to consider the formation of a union section. Hereto- fore every such petition required the signa- ture of five ratepayers from each of the municipalities concerned in the formation of a union school section. The award of the arbitrators declaring that no change should be made in the boundaries of union sections, or that no union section should be formed, although petitioned for, is binding for five years unless appealed against. (Section 43.)

(6) Assessors are required to report with regard to the equalization of union school sections on or before the 1st day of June instead of the 1st of July, as in the old Act. (Section 51.)

(7) The grant heretofore made by County Cuncils as the e(iuivalent of the Govern- ment grant is dispensed with. The origin- al intention of this grant was that it should be levied by uniform rate over tho whole county. In practice, however, it was found in almost every case to be levied on the township, and thus as a matter of fact was a townshiprather than a county grant. Under the now act, township councils aro authorized to levy tho sum of $.50 for each school, in addition to the sum of $100 which they were authorized to raise under tho act of 1891. As the sum formerly levied by tbo county amounted to over $30 per school, tho increased contribution made by the towmship is loss than $20 in excess of what it formerly was. As the law now stands, every township council will be re- quired to raise $150 for every school in the township. In the case of schools with an assistant teacher $100 additional is requir- ed for such teacher. The advantages of the change are briefly these : («) Tho routine of collecting the grant througli tho county from townships, which was merely a matter of book-keeping,is dispensed with. (5) The inecjuality which exists in tlio township with regard to the rates to be levied for tho maintenance of schools will be reduced and the smaller sections, which for local or other reasons could not be en- larged, will be aided, (c) Township coun- cils will be to a great extent relieved of the disagreeable duty of altering school boun- daries with a view to meet the complaints of taxpayers, (d) The loss to a school section by rendering useless school houses that might have to be abandoned by the change of school boundaries will be obviat- ed. (c) Small school sections that were heretofore open for six months only will be able to keep open during the whole year. (Section 66.)

(8) Municipal councils may issue school debentures for amounts less than $100 if deemed e.xpedient. (Section 70.)

(9) Any by-law exempting any portion of the rateable property of a municipality from taxation, in whole or in part, will not apply to exemptions from school rates. (Section 73.)

(10) County Boards of Examiners are to be appointed annually. (Section 79.)

(11) Easter holidays in rur.al schools are extended four days It is tho intention to hold tho teachers’ institutes during the summer holidays in order to prevent any interruption to the ordinary working of the school. The holidays given at Easter will therefore be made up by dispensing with the teachers’ meetings during tho school term. (Section 89.)

IIKJH RCIIOOn AMKNDSmXTS.

(1) Pupils from any high school district in the county shall be considered county pupils unless they attend the high school of the district in which they reside. (Sec- tion 2. sub section 5.)

(2) The trustees of a public and a high school may unite to form a board of educa- tion for the joint management of the public and high schools of the municipality for which they are respectively trustees. (Section 3.)

(3) The trustees of any high school may limit the optional subjects to be taken in such high school, provided always that any course required for matriculation in the university is taken. (Section 9.)

(4) Where county pupils pay a high school fee, the amount of such fees, if advantage is taken of section 31 oi the Act, is to be deducted from Hie whole amount for which the county is liable for maintenance. This was the in- tention of the High Schools Act of 1891,bat not being clearly expressed, some counties were required to pay for the maintenance of county pupils without being credited with the fees paid by county pupils. (Sec- tion 31, sub-section 2.)

(Ô) County councils may pay for the maintenance of pupils attending a high school in an adjoining county where the high school district is contiguous, at the same rate as for county pupils. (Section 31, sub-section 7.)

(6) Any grant given by county councils in addition to tbe amount for which the county is liable for the maintenance of county pupils shall be in proportion to the liability of the council, that is to say, this liability may be doubled or trebled, but specific sums regardless of such liability cannot be made. This provision of the new law does not come into force until after the 31st of December of the present year. In this provision high schools men- tion*ed in sections 31 (6) and 31 (6) are in- cluded. (Section 35.)

I have omitted several minor amend- ments to the act which were not deemed of sufficient importance to bring before you iu this formal way. I may add that tho amendments made have met with the general approval of the Legislature and will, I trust, contribute to the farther im- provement of our public and high schools. In order to prevent capricious changes in the school law, only amendments that are absolutely necessary are made except at intervals of five years. It is hoped that the Public and High Schools Act of 1896 will continue in their present form of the same length of time. Where so many are concerned in the successful administration of the law, it is found by experience that better results are obtained by a thorough revision at longer intervals than by minor changes every year.

It.should be borne in mind that Tupper

tOB the sole credit for every good«ct and 5ty enterprise within the bounds of

O^a except during Mackenzie’s regime, ^^at the Tornado exaggerator, is of ^ià^înion that nothing but ill occured in

tàotive hustling workers of the Domin- , Liberals predominate ; yet, Sir

ornado” Tupper claims that the sredit all work done and all enterprise dis-

iyed, is due to him and his supporters.

r’or thirty years, Sir Chas. Tupper has

outrageously extravagant in his pro- »ies of Canada’s progress; yet in his last ^lic utterance, he says ; I have no hesi-

jljOii in saying our most sanguine expect- :xD8 have already been more than realiz-

Which statement is quite on a par ih his Others.

U the beginning of this last parliament

I opposition were frequently reminded, |the Fosters, Tuppers and Haggarts, jt they were in the cold shades of opposit- !i; before parliament ended, the same generous fellows were whining to Laur- for supplies enough to last for a year; Laurier, as might be expected, took

ou his country and said “Nay !”

Parliament sitting ; government passes [order in council, appropriating $1,500,- kOO for the purchase of arms ; Liberals \ “you acted unconstitutionally in not

■'mg parliament.” Tories admit the

' Dr. Montague with the loudest s could produce, shouted :

vm our volunteers in a disloyal Grits raised

a great howl,” this is loyalty.

Here is the Conservative battle cry in some western constituencies : “I am just as much opposed to the Remedial Bill as you are, but if you don’t vote for the government you will be voting for I.aurier, who is a G: it and a Catholic, ami he will

pass a stronger remedial measure than the present government will.” IVIr. Laurier is not only a Grit and a Catholic, he is also an honest man.—Canadian Freeman.

Sir Charles Tupper in his Winnipeg speech talked much about cold storage and in bis cunning way endeavored to make

the unthinking farmer believe that the government have completed its arrange- ment for the establishment of a cold storage system throughout the country, and that some arc already in oper.ation. The great

stretcher is at it again as tlie truth is there is not a cold storage depot in the whole Dominion to-day nor lias any arrangement for their establishment been made.

Hon. Ilugli John JIcDonald at Winnipeg announced that when Premier Tupper then Dr. Tapper was invited to enter redora^ politics by the late Sir John A. Macdonald, the young doctor did so at a gc'^at personal

sacrifice to himself. Too thin Hugh John, facta speak stronger tlian words, Dr. Tupper was a poor man, Sir Charles

Tupper Premier, ox-IIigh Commissioner, Cliief of political cracksmen, Master mind and great Stretcher is to-day a multi- millionaire. Did not the N. P. make THKM rich ?

Tapper promises to hand over $2,500,000 to the Hudson Bay Ry. which would never pay for its axle-grease ; the Chignecto Ship Railway will cost $2,300,000 00 and like its twin brother enterprise will give no return for the money invested; in a day or two Tupper and his supporters will begin to speak and the country will ring with

just such promises as the foregoing; if you want additional mortgages put upon you

and yout children, if you want Canada’s till stripped of every cont, vote for Tup- per; if decency and honesty arc wanted Tupper must be turned down.

In 1801 the general elections were fought on old moth eaten voters’ lists and the pending one will be contested on thr. lists

of 1804, the time of the last revision. Here in Glengarry Iinndreds of young men who since the last revision of the lists, have reached the age of 21 years, arc

deprived of the sacred right of voting. Were this obnoxious Franchise Act, that since its birth is tainted with Tory iniquity, abolished and the provincial system adopt-

ed, these young men would have an opportunity of voting to “turn the rascals out.” This iniquitous law will bo repealed by Mr. Laurier the first opportunity

afforded him.

It is announced that when tlie Liberals get into power the resignation of a number of chief civil servants will be asked for, while a number of minor oflicials will bo

unceremoniously bounced. The gang is hungry and the loaves and fishes must be given to its members.—Montreal Gazette

If the “gang” is any hungrier than the

recent Conservative gang in Parliament which has gobbled over thirty paid offices since 18Ü1 and has probab[y a dozen yet to get, it is a very bad gang, indeed. And if the “chief civil servants” who may be

asked to resign consist of ûI.P.’s appointed to office since last session of Parliament, the request will be eminently satisfactory to

the general public.—Ottawa Journal Cons.

La Vrcific, supposed to be Hon. Mr. Chap- leau’s organ, concludes an article on the political situation as follows : “Is it wise to sacrifice our best men to allies \vho have so persistently deceived us in the past, and can it be believed that Chapleau and Angers will be in a hurry to constitute themselves the step ladder by which these men should reach power ? It seems to us

that there is a limit to all this deception, and that to again trust these fanatics would be to throw oneself in the fire with the hope of retaining no scar. Before

leaving power Sir Mackenzie Bowell made a host of appointments, and, as usual, the French Canadians only secured one in eight. Decidedly, if we lose our present

representatives we will have the consolation of know’ing that we cannot bo treated worse in the future than in the past.” —Canadian Freeman.

 hMinOW il/LYDED ^OJJrlGA^\

That brilliant statesman, Geo. Taylor, M.P., assisted the Hon. John F. Wood, in making a brutal attack on Dalton Mc- Carthy at Brockvillc the other day.

Mr. Taylor, who, as every one knows, is of a narrow and bigoted disposition, was particularly bitter against Mr. McCarthy because the latter allows a step-daughter to take her children to a Roman Catholic church. The Globe neatly rounds up the ill-bred whip of the Conservative party by asking a few questions, the gist of which is contained in the following—“ Would Mr, McCarthy be right in forbidding the children to go to the church their mother prefers and in which they w'ore bred ? also, should he turn them out if they refuse to do us he orders them in religious matters ?

Things have come to a pretty pass when men of tlio Geo. Taylor stamp can lind a constituency willing to elect them ; but what must one think of a party that would promote such a man to a position of honor and trust ? No one with a spark of decen- cy will assail the home life of a public man even though he be a political opponent, such filthy politics may be agreeable to a Conservative Whip, but wc are of the opinion that Canada is a distinct loser by such blackguardism.

CO-OVKIiATJOy

The coming general election is going to be a hot one and much depends upon tiie result. If Tupper and the family com- pact are returned to power the boodle

brigade, the combinestor and monopolist will continue to feast at the expense of tlie farmer and artisan. If the Liberal party arc return» d to power tbe very fact that Laurier and Mowat will be found com- manding the ship of state will ensure the introduction of a regime at Ottawa, that will hold paramount above all,the interests of tlio masses befoi'e these of the classes. There is no question but that the nien wlio have made their “ i ile ” out of Pro- tection arc going to fight to the death the introduction of a Tariff for Revenue policy and that they and Ih.c men who have legislated for years in th.eir favor may be driven out of power it is r eccssary that the supporter of Tariff Reform, be he Grit or Patron join bancs in this campaign and figlit shoulder to shoulder in the common cause. The Ottawa goverim-.ent, in Mr. R. R. Maclcnnan, onr late representative, had a follower upon whose support they could always rely, and the cotton kings and sugar barons a warm friend. If Mr. IMaclennan is re-elected he will return to Ottawa prepared to continue to advocate tbe claims of these millionaire protection- ists. The NKWS, since its inception, es- poused the cause of the farmer and laborer in preference to that of diau'.ond bedecked, fed at the public crib gentry, nnd will con- tinue to do so, knoA'ing full well that the agriculturists and labcring classes have for years borne the brunt of taxation that class legislation might bo continued and a few men become rich at the expense of tlio manv. All this is known to our read- ers and that being the case we would warn onr friends, now that we are going into battle to unite forces and thus make sure of a victory for Tariff Reform.

117/1' SUOi'LT) MAJOR McLKNNAN J!E

ELECTEJJ ?

These are tlie days of manifestos, as

might bo expected when wc consider that the general elections of 189G will be a thing of the past inside of five short weeks. The electorate heard first from lion. Wilfrid Laurier, the gifted Leader of the Liberal

party, in Sohmer Park, Montreal, the evening after the close of the receot session, tnat gentleman, in plain unmistakable language gave a clear insight into the planks which go to make up the platform upon which he and his party stand and ask for the endorsation of the people generally. Last week Sir Charles Tupper,

the fifth leader and premier we have had selected from th.c Tories to rule the des-

tinies of this Dominion inside of six years, issued his manifesto, the chie^characteris- ticB of whicli were its great length, its

want of that true ring of coatidence which was invariably discernible in the manifestos that in days gone by were issued by the late Sir John A. Macdonald, the reiterations of that threadbare cry that Canada and Canadians arc to da,y enjoying untold prosperity, the false boast that the National Policy, not the natural push and enterprise of our people, has built up Canada and brought her to tbe fore when compared witii other countries, not forgetting to credit his “Master Mind” with having not merely given birth to the scheme but tlmougli careful nourishment and stimulus brought his political child to maturity in a healthy and thriving condition from his point of view. Lastly the electorate of Glengarry are honored with a manifesto, which we have no doubt, despite the fact that it appeared simultaneously in the columns of the GUnrjarriau and Cornwall Standard, first saw the light of day in R. R. BIcLcnnan’s stone office, owdiig its existence to the magnetic pen of one of those paid writers who arc brought into requisition by Glengarry’s “Master Mind” as soon as a general election is on the tapis. Tlie article, beg pardon, the mani- festo was published by our contemporary last week and until we had read same, we must confess tliat we had not the faintest conception of Dir. DIcLennan’s great worth to this country and further more after carefully w'ading through it from start to finish w'e were reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the Conservative party in selecting Sir Charles Tupper to succeed Sir Mackenzie Bowell as Premier had, in the face of the convincing proofs compiled and DOW' given to the public for the first time, made a political move that meant disaster, DtcLonnau not Tupper being the one rightly fitted for the honorable position. The manifesto is dubbed “Why sliould Major McLennan be re-elected,” and takes up two and one half columns of space in the GlemjarrUin. It is chiefly noted for the frequency of the repetion of that convincing word in an argument- -“because.” There are indeed a number of “becauses” ad- vanced, in that retiring, modest way the writer knows so well how to employ. Here are some of them, the “he” in every case to be credited to Mr. McLennan. “He has won the esteem and favor of both sides of tlie House.” How did you work e’m Rory ? “He has delivered some very able speeches.” Yes when reduced to paper. “He has great influence with the government.” You should have brought it into play in time to have had that “wing” built. “His great friend was Sir John Tliompson.” True Sir John was peculiar in some things. “Sir Mackenzie Bowell offered him a seat in the cabinet.” So it was rumored, and it is to be regretted that our “Almost Honorable” was not given a place among the “nest of traitors.” “In six years he had a bill passed and two others would have passed had things been different.” This working over time must liavo proved a great strain upon your nerves Major. “He served on important committees.” Well it is to bo hoped you intended doing something for your annual indemnity and mileage.

He is personally entitled to the credit of the reduction of the duty on coal oil.” No, really, well what were those blooming Grits howling about anyway ?

“ He was also instrumental in having the duty on binder twine reduced one half.” If Foster sees that in print he will have you “ read out of the party ” by the great stretolier.

“ Ho lias had fishways constructed.” That they are of any eartlily use is yet to bo proven.

“Ho constantly c;ontributcd to church, schools, charities and sport,” so you did, but you arc having your “ generosity ” written up so often that the shine is being taken out of it. “ He endeavored to have the veterans of ’37 recognized ” but failed. “ He obtiiined $5,000 for the River Beau- dette dniiuage ” for fear the grant made by the M»)wat government might “ spoil some voles on the truly loyal party. “ He secured the Reformatory.” Tlio $1,000,000 has dwindled to $05,000 and the doubting Tliomascs are still doubting. Give us some more in a second instalment, itmakes amusing reading on a hot day and Foster’s speech on the school <jucstion is no patcl to it as a piece of campain literature.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS Toronto, May 0.

TJioie was a larg»' attcmhmcc of people at the Western Cattle Yards today. TJiere was much liveliness in the export cattle Hn«', but it i.s n»)t expecti'd to last. To-day's vim was caused liy a demand for cattle to go to Brdginm and France. Trade in butchers’ cattle was anything but good. I’ric»‘S wore off about He fnun last Friday’s liighest figure. Hogs were .steady, in spite of heavy offerings. Many months have (‘lapsed since the ptma were so full of cattle as they wore to-day. All told there were 99 carloads of stuff on the market, 83 of which came in to- day. Tliesc included 103 sheep nnd lamb.s, 3.200 hogs,202 calves nnd 20 cow.s. Buying of Stockers ami feeders was fairly active and prices in that line were firm.

Export Cattle—A couple of carloads of picked cattle sold for 4Hc per lb, but these cannot l>c tak»m as any criterion for there are few cattle like them in the country. Most of the deals for choice cat tie were made in the region of 4c per lb. Some of the best butchers’ cattle were taken as exiiortcrs at about 3,Hc per lb. Some sales wore: One car load cattle, 1.200 lbs average, 4c per lb; 40 cattle, 1,300 lbs average, $4.20 per cwt; 22 cattle 1,200 lbs average, 4Hc per lli; ten cattle, 1,200 lbs averag»', 3-%c per lb; 18 cattle, 1,1.50 lbs .‘ivoragc, $4,15 per cwt; ouc car load cattle, 1,220 lbs average,

11^; oiic car load cattle, 1,390 lbs average, exceptionally fine, $.40 per cwt; two car loads cattle, 1,200 lbs average, 4c per lb.

Butchers’ Cattle—This market was a little weaker. Too many cattle off(‘n*d and low prices ruled. Mostly the top figure wa.s per lb, one or two picked touching .$3.30 per cwt. Some very poor stcor.s nnd rough cows sold as low ns 2 and 2Ho per lb. Tlie ruling figures for loads of good cattle were from 2 H to 3c per lb. Heavy offerings and the warm weather were the main factors toward depressing trade, Butchers are going more in for veal and lamb. There is no money in raising butchers’ cattle now. Some sales to-day wore; One car load, 1,015 lbs average, 3Hc per lb; 5 good cattle, 5,400 lbs weight, 3Hc per lb; one car load cattlC; 1,000 lbs average, 3c per lb; one car load cattle, 1,100 lbs average, $3.30 per cwt; one car load cattle, 1,000 lbs average, $2.90 per ^vt; one car load cattle, 1,090 lbs average, $3.25 per cwt; 7 cattle, bought for shippers, 1,150 lbs average, per lb; 23 cattle, 950 lbs average, $2.75 i>er cwt; 20 cattle, 1,075 lbs average, $33 each; 5 cattle, 1,000 lbs average, $2.85 per cwt.

Stockers and Feeders—There was a steady trade in this Ijnc. Good feeders fetch 3 to 3Mc. per lb. Light Stockers arc quiet at 2H to 2%c per lb.; choice half fat feeders arc wanted.

Sheep and Lambs—Yearlings were steady, soiling at from 4H to 5)^c per lb. Not many came in. Bheep arc dull at 3 to 3c H per lb. Not many spring lambs arc offering and not many are wanted unless very choice. These rule at alxjut $3 to $4.50 per hca<l.

Calves—Offerings were heavy. Too many of the calves were of inferior quality. Price's ruled from $2 for poor ones up to $4.50 for choice, or ix*rhaps $5 per head for one or two fancy veals.

Milch Cows and Springers—One gootl milcher sold to-day for $36. Hvery ono sold before the close, and the feeling was slightly firmer. Prices, were good, ruling from $20 to $40 perlicjul. Early springers are in demand. Good ones will fetch top prices.

Hogs—As one dealer said to-day: “It was h)gs, hogs, nothing but hogs.’* Yes- terday there cam»; in 1,400 head and to- day thciv arriv(Ml 1,800 head, but In spite of these heaving offerings the market licld firm. Choice selcxîtlons of bacon hogs sold for 4e per lb, weighed off the cars. Otlier kinds ruled as quoted in Üto tabulation a])ponded. Prospects Me for lower prices for thick fat hogs.

BREAUSTUFFS. Wheat—The offerings are fair and the

market is weak and lower. Cars of rod were offered to-day at 73o high freights west and the best bid was 72c. Red and white are offering on the Northern at 75c. Manitoba wheat is quiet. No. 1 hard is quoted at 64c afloat Fort Wlllljim May. Cars of No. 1 Jiard sold Toronto and west to-day at 75c and No. 1 northern at 74c.

Flour—There is a little better demand reported by some millers, but at low prices. Cars of straic;ht roller arc quoted at $3.50 Toronto freights.

Millfced—Is dull. Cars of shorts are quoted west at $11 to $12 and bran $10.60 to $10.75.

Barley—Is dull. Cars of feed are offer- ing outside at 28c. No. 1 is qu»?tcd out-, side at 39c and No. 2 at 34c.

Salt for Fowls.

Wo liave referred to tlie juatter of fur- nishing .«!ult for fowls in these colun>ns once or twice, and expressed our ()cliof tJiat the modérât»; use of this condiment is benoflcial. Now w»; find that by ex- periment in th»! New York Experiment station it has hc»;n demonstrated that the use of salt at the nvte of one ounce to 10 liens each day is Ix-iioflcial, and at the trials the liens that were fed salt pro- duced moi'c eggs than tho.se that were fed without salting their food. It has been onr practice to salt all soft feed given to our poultry, at about the rate food for liimiau use Is salted.

OUR OTTAWA LETTER. Ottawa, May 11th.

How many of the l,:i5;},735 whose names appear on the voter’s list fully realize the grave responsibility that now rests upon them. In six weeks they will be asked to determine whether for another five years (ho same system of corrupt and dishonest government shall prevail, whether high taxation and criminal squandering of your hard earned wages and savings shall con- tinue or whether they shall be invested in the handsof such men as Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Oliver Mowatt, Sir Richard Cartwright, David Mills, L. H. Davies, Dr. Borden, A. G. Blair, and W. S. Fielding, the adminis- tration of your affairs. You have already been told that the success of Mr. Laurier at the poll means the entry of Sir Oliver Mowat to his cabinet. To day I learn that Mr. Lanrier’s success means the acceptance of a position in his cabinet by Premier Blair, of New Brunswick, and Premier Fielding, of Nova Scotia.

fAMII.Y COMPACT.

For a monjcnt let us look at the condi- tion in which we find the Tor'ÿ camp with Sir Clms Tupper and his political allies struggling for another lease of power. How suggestive “power.” But what is the first thing that strikes the average elector? Is it the great strength of the personnel of the new cabinet ? I should say not. Docs it not impress those of you who are able to recall the days of the “family compact” and the desperate efforts it required by the ancestors of those who are now fighting to free the country of the vicious and corrupt form of governnment that has prevailed for the past 18 years, of how dangerously close we are approaching government by “family compact” once more. Behold the Tupper trinity, a strong combination, Tupper the elder, Tupper the younger and relative Dickey in one government.

A miOKKN ANl> SIIATTKUKn I’AUTY.

If we base our conclusions on the axiom that in unity alone there is strength wo must have reached the opinion that discord and dissension have been doing their work well among the Tory ranks during the past five years. A year ago we saw Sir Chas Hibbeit Tupper retire from the cabinet and after sulking for a few days return to the fold. In July last we saw Caron, Ouimet and Angers go out and two of them return. In January last we saw seven of them strike and six of them came back, a game of political “hide and go seek.” Sir Chas Hibbert remained hidden then for niodesty’s sake (he has not as much mo- desty now) that his father Sir Chas might go in. That record in itself of ministerial squabbling should have been sufficient to wreck any government, but on the theory that the devil is good to bis own they were permitted live and the work of disinte- gration went on. In forming his cabinet Sir Chas after deposing Sir Mackenzie, sent Caron, Ouimet and Daly adrift, the three men who bad stood by Sir Mackenzie and rewarded Angers who tried to wreclc Sir Mackenzie’s government by taking him into his ministry. That is only as regards disaffection within the executive. How do we find it among the rank and file ? Dur- ing the past season wo saw Sir Chas Tup- per reading such life long Tories as McNeil, Weldon, Sproule and Clark Wallace out of the party..because they would not digest and swear to all he told the House. For tl^is he branded them tractors. A mo^*e Impolitic move was never attempted jn the House of Commons and thefo were not few to say that imbecility mfght prove pven more dangerous trait to combat thi^n corruption. Rut whi^t is this we road about the exrmayor of Cornwall ? Mr. JVIulhern,\vho on retiring a day or so ago as president of the Conservative Association gaid ; “ïhe IJoii. Wilfrid biaurier has de- clared openly for the adjustment of the tariff upon wise and conservative lines, and not with the view of destroying the indus- tries of the country, and I believe that the common sense of the people is strongly in favor of a purer and more economical ad- ministration in the expenditure of the people’s money.” Mr. J. A. Chipman, a prominent merchant of Halifax, has al- ways taken a leading part in supporting the Conservative party. In announcing hischangeof heart at apolitical meeting recently held in that city, said ho. had for some time been gradually coming to the conclusion that the so.called Rational J'oUcy was being being niade a tool of the combines, used to enrich the few at the ex- pense of the masses, and he had therefore concluded at last to follow Mr. Laurier, “a noble and honest patriot.” It is true of Canada us it is true of the United States,” he said, “that a man who forsakes his party is a marked man. This is un- like Great Britain where, when a govern- ment does not do right, the people turn them out. Here, however, a man seems to be under an obligation to adhere to party— to support it in its corruption.” We are hearing such stories from converts every day. There are many life long Conserva- tives who have only been waiting an op- portunity to repudiate the leaders by tyhoRI they have been deceived.

SIAXlKKS'^q.

You have read befqre this tbo manifesto Sir Clms has issued tp the eleçtorate of Canada in appealing to you for a renewal of your confidence. He starts out by say- ing : “It is not my purpose to present at length reasons which would guide you to a hearty support of the Liberal-Conservative cause in this “national crisis.” Sir Chas has had the honestyto admit that there is a "national crisis,” but be does not tell you of the “national calamity” that would follow should }ou once again invest himself and his colleagues with power to apply the remedies. That national crisis is the re- suU of an increase from $140,000,000 to $203,000,000 in our national debt;*of in- creased taxation and of the various system of boodling and corruption that has mark- ed every move of government at Ottawa during the past 18 years. The sinner on the cross repented but v/c still find Sii’ Chas up to his old tricks although he knows he is on his political death bed. Upon his being appointed premier, thp Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, cabled Sir Chas his oongratulutions. The wil}' old saint took advantage of it to turn that cablegram to political account and from one end of the other the government and the press pro- duced it as an evidence that Mr. Chamber- lain endorsed the Conservative party and that consequently in event of Sir Chas re- turn to power he could be in a better posi- tion to negotiate with British government than Mr. Laurier. Sir Chas’ game has been exposed for Mr. Chamberlan has cabled that bis congratulations were only personal. The ruling passion witl> Sir Chas is strong in political death. Is it a wonder therefore that the Toronto Mail should have called him the prince of poli- tical cracksmen. This was in 18R1. ^t would now be interesting to hear from tl^e Mail how they can support such a man as they have painted Sir Chas.

ÏIONE8T MICHAEL.

Over two hundred years ago there lived in Holland a little boy called Michael. His parents were poor and they were anxious that he should learn^a trade, but Michael made up his mind that he would be a sailor, and nothing tdse would do. It nded thit hii par cuts complied with liis wishes, and his father obtained for him a place on a ship that was going to sail to Morocco, on the northern shore of Africa. The ship belong'd to a merchant, who was in the habit of taking clothes to that country, which ho sold to the nalivtis.

He used to go on the ship himself, and thus had every opportunity of finding out, the nature of his new boy, and it was not long until he saw that he was a trust- worthy boy. It was not altogether that lie was fiuick to learn his dutie?, but wlmt was much better, he was a boy who could be trusted. 'Whatever he );a;l to do, he did it with all his power, whether any person was seeing him or not. “This is the boy I want” said the merchant, and Michael was continually rising. Ho was industrious, patient and honorable as well as attentive to every one, and they gave him that praise.

One day, at last, the inc-rchant became ill, and was unable to go to the ship which was laden with its cargo and ready to start on its voyage to iMorocco. Wlmt would ho do? He only knew but one person, in whom he could trust the ship and its cargo. He sent for Michael, and told him that ho must go instead of his master. Michael wms young and the burclan great, but it was his duty to do what he was asked, and i^e did Got turn his back to it. The sliip left and Michael in possession, and at tlio end of a few days, he might be seen on a fine morning, spreading his clothes in the market of the city of Morocco.

That city was ruled by a King or head man whom the people called Iky. He was a very proud man, without compassion, and thinking a great deal of himself—he had power to put in force anything ho wished, and no man dared to say that it was wrong. On this morning he came out to the market, and after looking over the c'othes which were under Michael’s charge, he selected a piece which pleased him and asked the price. Michael told him. The Bey offered him half the sum. “I Avill not take it” said Michael, “I am not asking for the cloth, but what it is worth, my master expects to get that price for it, and I am only his servant. It is not possible for me to take a lower price.” The face lit up with anger, those who were near tl em shuddered, as they knew that it was certain death, to anyone who would object to the wishes of the ruler. ‘*I will give you till to-morrow morrfing, till you decide what to do,” said lie, and then walked

It is swung against a stationary limber and hooked to ir, tlius giving the teamster a solid phvee to rest the neck of caeii can while

cm])tying it. It saves tho cans from getting bruised also. A stiff iron hoop is Listened to the top bar of the erano and the funnt'l head sets in it. Wlicre the funnel tube pa.sss's the crane .standard a strong leatlier stra]) is jiasscd over it and buttoned on to a screen, thus binding it firmly.

starting a Crramcry,

In conunon witli all other eiitcrpriso.s in whicli groups of men are interested tlio starting* of a creamery requires ti careful consideration of all the elements that etitcr into its success. Few other ontoiqirisos are subject to more drawbacks than creameries. One. of the most materi- al gcows out of conditions e.stocnicd to be one of tlic clioiccst of tlie good fortunes that falls to farmers, namely, independ- ence. In an ago wlu'ii the necessities of co-operation are creating mental tra.its in other dusses that adapt them for har- monious action, it is necessary that isolated farmers ac<iuiro tlie art of unit- ing their resources whenever it can bo dono to material advantage.

Creameries start in eonmmnities where private dairying has prevailed to date and whore encli farmer lias liad absolute control of liis (;ows and tlieir products. Nothing lias been known-of outside direc- tion nr advice claimed as a right in re- lation to tho feedin,g of liis cows and tho care of tlieir milk ami cream. A natural resentment, of such advico or direction is sure to follow wlicn it is offered. Creameries can not really do their best when an inspector or otlier ollicer lias not acknowledged riglit to take necessary means to bring tho standard of every patron up to well recognized essentials of good blitter ]iroduetion. In many com- munities an incul)ating periotl in whicli conferences have made essentials familiar and acknowledged is a hel])ful prelimin- ary to creamery organization. There arc coinniunities where tho jircss has made plain tlic coiulitions of creamery success or tho grange has broadoiK'd men ami women so that tho way for co-opei\.tion has been made casj".

Among other recognized causes of failure tlio most prominent is the con- struction of creameries wliero cow.s can not lie commanded for various reasons not sufilcieutly widglied before t e enter- pri.se was inaugurated. About 300 cows arc regarded as essential to succe.ss, al- though the same principle that governs new railroad enterprises in pushing into new territory where the freight in view is not adequate to maintain railniad service justifies starting ercanicries on a less number. It is at this point that the valium of a clear-Jieaded canvasser conics in. He sliould be a mau al)le to dis- criminate between the good wishes of farmers that can not bo realized upon that often take the sluqic of loose promises aud the guartlcd pledges of those who will ultimately furnish more cows than they will iiromise.

Creameries well managed generally develop tho business until double the cows servo them tliau a canvasser can get squarely pledged in writing. But here comes in again the individual fac- tor, the importance of a good butter maker and of good business mauagement. lucompetency is always dear and clear- sighted cnergj’ is seldom ovorixaid. A creamery just starting must liavc good men, yet it is at a time that the patrons seem less able lo afford it. Tlic first cost before sales can be made aud the limited quantity of milk deliviu’cd at the start makes the pound cost of manufacture so great that a disposition to economize at a fatal spot is induced. At this point good judgment and a liberal policy bave their highest reward.

Tho building sliould be built by home builder.?, or not by sjK'culative agents that go about organizing creamery asso- ciations for the purpose of securing the contract for constructing and furnishing them. Tho.se men build poorly and in- completely, aud at exorbitant i-ates. Where §2,000 to $2,500 will answer they often sccm*c $3,500 to $4,000.

In organizing a creamery have it dis- tinctly understood that it is'to be con- ducted on tho Babcock test system. This will lead patrons to secure good cows and after securing them to brciKl for successors, the very basis of enduring success in this business.

Every patron of a creamery should make the business of milk production a study and not regard it as one of the mere incidents of farming that may drift along in a “happy go lucky” style, from which thei’C should bo thankfully taken whatever falls into our lap. Cow keeping as an incident of farming is seldom suc- cessful through rhe failure to give con- stant attentiou ami critical study of the conditions essential to success. This attentiou begins with the selection of the cow and Includes cvciy operation. Creamery management should include the cncouragomciic of patrons read widely, to visit dairy lierd.s where sucooss is conspicuous, and to form fanners’ clubs or confereuce.s wliere the question.s of milk production are given prominence.

lîreetls Kumiiii,*? Tog:ctlu*r. After eggs have been secured for batch-

ing, and incubation ceases, the IK'JLS can be allowed to run together, as they will entail more work if kept in separate in- closiu’cs. It would also Ixi an advantage to di.«pose of the males, as the hen.s will lay as many eggs without their piv.senco as with them. .Just as soon as the hatch- ing of chicks ceases then tho usefulness of the male ends. It is cheaper and more convenient to allow tlie hens full liberty than to incur tho expense of fences to keep the bixieds apart.

A meeting of the Dominion Cabinet was held in Ottawa on Tuesday for the purpose of changing the returning officers in the county of Soulangcs. It appears there are two persons in the county bearing the same name one a Reformer the otlier a Conservative, the latter af whom was appointed returning officer for the coming elections while the writ was sent to the Re- former in error. The Conservative nominee on hearing this refused to run unless the

, change was made. Evidently the Conser- vative candidate fears to have an indepen- dent man for returning officer.

FREE E NTERTAIN ME NX. Tho free entertainment given in the

During the evening Mr. D. Davidson, manager of the company, illus- trated the working of the new electric lire bringing out its merits to best advantage.

MEETING OF SYNOD.

The Presbyterian Synod of Montreal and Ottawa met in annual session in Erskino Church, Montreal, on Tuesday evening the 12th inst., the Rev. Jas. Cor- mack, B.A., of Maxville, tlie retiring mo- derator,in the chair. The reverend gentle- man preached the annual sermon after the opening devotional exercises in his usual eloquent and masterly style. After the conclusion of the sermon, Rev. Jas. Fleck, pastor of Knox Church, Montreal, was unanimously elected to tlie position of moderator of the synod for the coming year. The attendance of delegates from the synod, comprising tho Presbyteries of Glengarry, Brockvilic, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec was fairly large.

MRS. KATE ÛIcDONALD. On Monday morning there passed away

an old and respected resident of this village, in the person of Kate JIcDonald, relict of the late Donald R. McDonald, at the resi- dence of her son-in-law, Mr. A. D. Mc- Dougall, Main St., south. Mrs. McDonald had been suffering greatly from cancer for the past 7 months so chat death came as a relief though her illness %vas borne with Christian fortitude and resignation. She leaves a family of three sons two of whom, Angus and John, are in West Superior and one, Sandy, at home and two daughters. Miss Christy McDonald and Mrs. C. D. McDougall,to mourn her loss. The funeral to St. Finnan’s Cemetery, on Wednesday morning, was attended by a large number of friends and relatives to whom we ex- tend our sincerest sympathy.

MRS. N. D. McLEOD. It will be with feelings of the deepest re-

gret that the many friends of Mr. Norman D. McLeod, postmaster at McCrimmon, will learn of tho death of the wife of that gentleman, Joan McRae, on Friday last after a lingering illness of some 18 months’ duration, at the age of 35 years. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. Finlay McRae, of Dunvegan, and leaves a husband and one •little daughter to mourn her untimely death. Mrs. McLeod will be missed by a largo circle of friends in whose hearts her many amiable qualities bad won her a fore- most place. The funeral on Saturday to the Free Church Cemetery, Kirk Hill, was attended by a large number of frieiuls and relatives, the funeral services being con- duted by Rev. Mr. McLean, of Kirk Hill, assisted by Rev. Mr. Leitch, of Vankleek Hill. We extend our sincerest sympathy to the bereaved husband and relatives in their affliction. HAVE THE STREETS LEVELLED.

Along the course of the water pipes, now that the frost is out of the ground nnd as tho latter dries up, we notice that the earth is settling in many places, giving our streets a very uneven appearance and mak- ing driving rather unpleasant. Wo also notice that some of the shut off gates par- ticularly the one on the corner of Ottawa and Kenyon streets, near Mr. IR'ay’s car- riage shop, arc to be seen quite o distance aboveground. This condition of things is a source of danger to those driving along the streets and allows a chance of the gates being broken. Wo understand that Mos.srs. Garson & Purser, according to their contract, have to see to the levelling of the streets and the covering of shut off gates and notwithstanding tho fact that our council have written them several times have as yet signified no intention of completing tho work. We trust that the matter will be attended to as soon as pos-

A DASTARDLY ACT.-^ The many friends of Mr. Angus McDon-

ald, the jovial proprietor of the Brown House, Sandfield’s Corners, will be much shocked to learn that on Monday evening last, after having spent the greater part of the afternoon in Alexandria when about to enter bis house after returning homo he was set upon by some party or parties un- known who undertook to do him up in a most cowardly and brutal manner. Mr. McDonald was very severely handled by bis assailants who used some blunt in- struments that knocked their victim un- conscious. It is supposed that robbery was their object but they were evidently frightened by passers by as no money was missing. After being insensible for some two hours Mr. McDonald came too suffici- ently as to be able to crawl to the house and call for assistance. The members of the family at once removed himto his room' and Dr. A. L. Macdonald, of this place, was sont for and everything possible was done to relieve his sufferings. We under- stand that Mr. McDonald sustained several severe cuts about the head and face which necessitated stitching and he will probably be confined to his room for several days. He is unable to give any description of his assailants, but trust that no effort will be left undone to get at the bottom of what was undoubtedly one of the most dastardly acts ever perpetrated in this county.

HAWJŒSBüRY’S BIG FIRE. \ A destructive fire involving a loss of over

sixty thousand dollars, started in the Ilawkesbary Lumber Co.’s mills, on ]\Ton- day the llth inst., just before the blowing of tho noon whistle, the cause being the heating of a journal or bearing beneath tho picket or lath mill, which is situated north of the other 5 mills.Ina short timethonorth picket mill was wrapped in flames and soon the fire reached mill No. 5, which was also destroyed. The 900 men employed in tiie mills made a gallant fight to save mill No, 4, the largest and best of the six,and tlio^igli they were at one time almost successful the flames made sufficient headway to over- come their efforts, and this mill also was

The fire was com- pletely under control at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. The destroyed mills will be re- built at an early date, until which time about 800 men will be thrown out of em- ployment. The three mills saved will run double watch during tho remainder of tlic season,

DONALD MCLENNAN (MILUER)

Once more wc are called upon to chroni- cle the dsatl) at the age of 07 years of one of Glengarry’s foremost citizens the late I\lr, Donald McLennan, miller, of Munro’s .Mills, which sad event occurred on Saturday night, the 9th May, after suffering for some time from cancer of the stomach, a disease winch only recently become so serious as to alarm his friends. Deceased ivas a son of tho late Kenneth McLennan, lumber merchant of the first concession of Kenyon, and leaves a wife, three brothers and two sisters to mourn his loss. Mr. McLennan spent the early part of his life on his farm, lot 31-lst Kenyon, but some few years ago he sold his property and purchased the mills known as Munro’s Mills comprising a saw mill, a shingle mill, a grist mill and an oat mill, where he did business up to the time of his death. Mr. McLennan was a good neigh- bor, was over willing to make a personal sacrifice to accommodate anyone in need and his kindly disposition will not soon be forgotten by his many friends. He was a membor of the Presbyterian Church and in politics was a consistent Reformer. The funeral to the North Branch cemetery, Martintown, was at- tended by a large number of friends and relatives from all parts of the county, the services being conducted by Rev. D, D. McLennan, of Apple Hill, assisted by Itev, J. Matheson, of Martintown. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to tho bereaved relatives,

MRS. RANALD McDONELL. Death in the bright flush of early man-

hood or womanhood is appalling, A ter- rible thing, for then liope beats high in the youtliful bosom, and lifework is but com- mencing. To him or her, however, who has reached the wintry era of existence, who can look back upon deeds nobly done and triumphs gloriously achieved, death is only a welcome visitor come to usher the sinless soul into an eternity of happiness and joy. Such was it to Mrs. Ranald Mc- Doncll, of 32 in the 4th Lochiel, when on Saturday last, tho 9th inst,, it summoned her to shako off this mortal coil. For Mrs. McDonell herself, no regret can be felt, be- cause she has gone to a better home, but for her family and for her other relatives, both near and distant, our sympathy is cordial ; through her demise her relations have lost a considerate and generous friend, and her family, we will not qualify it, a mother. Sweet was her disposition, unselfish her affection and noble indeed was her great generous heart. A smile for the prosperous, a tear for the unfortunate, a kind rebuke for the erring, gentle sympathy for those whom sorrow touched and kind- ness for all ; can we wonder that she held the place she did in the affections of those she knew ? Nine years intervened between her death and that of her lamented hus- band. She has gone to rejoin him ; we arc loft to mourn ; we miss her presence ; we look upon the places where she was wont to bo and see her not, and our hearts are sad in consequence. But amidst all the

■ gloom there appears the light of her splen- did example, her stern and unchangeable virtue and some of the sadness is thereby lifted from our ronls. What need to say more ? She was all that a mother and a woman should be, and this is the best tri- bute of praise that a pen may pay. De- ceased, at the time of death, was aged 75 years and 5 months. Ihe funeral which took place on Monday to St. Alexander Church, Lochiel, was a large one notwith- stanaing the busy season of the year. The pall-bearcrs were :—Messrs. John D. Mc- Donell, Hugh J. McDonell, Allan Weir, Hugh Weir, John Weir and John A. Mc- Kinnon. May she rest in peace.

COUNCIL MEETING. ,/ Th® adjourned meeting of our village

council took place in the council chamber on Tuesday evening, the I2th inst., with Reeve McArthur in the chair and all the councillors p**cscnt. A motion was passed appointing the following pound keepers : for division No. 1, Mr. M. A. A. McRae ; for division No. 2, Messrs, J. W. Irvcn and A, L. Mackay. The following accounts wore next considered and passed viz :

J. F. Sauve, carting ,..$2.90 J. W. Irven, trees $4.00

S.Fisher. Montreal, chemicals $1.00 Mr. Duncan II. Macdonald was appoint-

ed constable for the southern portion of our town.

Tho accepting of the standpipe before paying in the balance of contract price for the construction of same was considered- The Reeve and Councillor McGillivray had found that the standpipe leaked, but very little, but it was thought that the engineer, Mr. Alexander Rotter, 'should accept the work from contractors before the munici- pality would do so, so that no step was taken in tho matter for tho present, A deputation consisting of Messrs, Senator McMillan, J. Ï. Schell, H. R. BJacdonald, Angus McDonald, Ins. Agt., and K. A. Hodgson next presented a petition asking the council to consider the advisability o£ the granting by tho municipality of a bonus of not less than $10,000 to a pro- posed factory for the manufacture of boots and shoes and to employ not fewer than 100 hands. Tho petition also set forth the many advantages to be derived by the municipality from the institution of such an industry in our town. How tho em- ployment of upwards of 100 wage earners would necessarily increase the amount of money spent in the town and thus increase its prosperity and although the taxes might bo slightly increased how the facilities for their payment would also be greater. Senator Mc^Iillan as one of tho petitioners Ihonght little more could be said than was expressed in the petition. If any memborof the council wished to ask any question lie would be pleased to answer. Reeve McArthur thought that before presenting a petition the company should organize and a certain amount of capital be subscribed, when tlie council might consid- er the advisability of granting a bonus. With regard to taking stock the reeve did not know whc-lher tho statutes permitted a numicipalitv to take such a step but would ascertain if this were the case. Mr. J. T. Schell said tliat the deh'gation waiting on the council were appointed by a meeting of citizens to consider the propriety of organ- izing a joint stock company for the manu- facture of boots and shoes, the deputation appeared merely as a comniitttee of

citizens. The question for tlie council to consiiler was if it would be ndsisablc to grant a bonus to call a public meeting and have the matter discussed by citizens. Tlie members of the council promised to give tlie petition their consideration. A numerously signed petition headed by Rt. Rev. Bishop Macdonell and Rev. D. Mc- Laren was then presented by Mr. Angus McDonald, Ins. Agt., asking the council to pass a by Jaw placing a license fee of $50 on each person selling or keeping in stock cigarettes, and to impose a fine of not loss than $10 upon any one found guilty of violating tho law. The petition was also allowed to stand over until next meeting. It was decided to order one new hydrant and to sec that repairs wore necessary on the hydrant that leaks at the corner of Bishop and St. Paul streets, also one or two hydrants at the station. The meeting then adjourned till Tuesday evening the 19th inst.

At a public meeting of the ratepayers of the village of Alexandria, called by the Reeve of the municipality, held at tlie Queen’s Hall, on the night of the Gth inst., for tho purpose of discussing the question of establishing a boot and shoo factory in said village, and after hearing the views of many gentlemen present on the subject, it was resolved that a committee composed of Senator BIcMitlan, J.

effect on the business of the town and con- sequent circulation of money, rendering it an extremely difficult task for many to make ends meet, besides depopulating the place of at least a dozen families.

That nearly every town and village in Ontario and Quebec in which an enterprise such as the proposed shoo factory is intend- ed to be, have given large bonuses in order to encourage the establishment thereof, in such towns and villages and secure to themselves the incalculable advantage that the employment of such labour will give

That the bonusing of and thereby the encouraging of the proposed shoe factory with the capacity named and number of hands employed will bo of great benefit to Alexandria, as it means at moderate calculations the payment of wages to the employees of between thirty and forty thousand dollars per year, tho greater part of which must be spent in Alexandria.

That tho advantages pecuniarly and otherwise which other towns and villages have secured by bonusing will be equally shared in by this village and that tlie burden of taxation under which Ave are now liable

will in consequence of the reason set forth be lessened and not increased.

Therefore the above committee humbly ask that your humble body 'will receive favorably our petition and consider the advisability of submitting a by-law to the people comprising this mnnicipality for a sum not less ten (10) thousand dollars to be granted ns a bonus to a company which may establish a shoe factory as above set forth with the necessary conditions for tho fulfillment of their engagement, on tlio part of the company and your committee a.s in duty bound will ever pray.
