OUR GOMMERGIflL LETTER. MO.NTRKAL, Sept. 15.

Although there have been no radical changes in trade during the past week gen- eral business is still on tho mend. All the leading merchants arc speaking in u most encouraging manner of the outlook, in fact every v7êcn R>=-ntiment is more hopeful. Glowing reports on the Maiii^’i'^* cfop still being received, and with news of steadily advancing prices—for wheat tlicro is a feeling that this alone will play an im- mense part in the immediate future. Of course the Ontario farmers are still faring well and prices on their wheat sliow a relative appreciation with the Blanitoba article. The export demand for thi^ cereal of late has been excellent, but what is of equal importance is the fact that full prices are being received. It is also be- coming apparent that this demand is by no means only temporary. That it will last there seems little question. Canada with her (50,000,000 bushels of wheat figures largely in all the estimates made of Ameri- ca’s available supply, and it is a settled thing that a large share of the crop will be called upon to assist in filling up the European deficiency. Canadian flour is also meeting with great demand, and prices here are fairly well maintained. Export sales during tho past week have been made to Liverpool, London and Glasgow, with enquiries from the latter port especially urgent. A lot of this business has been done by W. W. Ogilvie and the Lake of tho Woods Milling Co., but the Ontario people are right in the field and a good deal of business for Europe has been done direct with the mills.

The wheat markets this week have all been very strong. The sentiment in Chi- cago has been mostly bullish and December- wheat has been quoted at fi'iic, showing that it is still pretty near the dollar mark again. Up in the Manitoba country mark- ets as high as 8üc has been paid for No. 1 hard wheat, while the same grade Owen Sound has been quoted at §1.07 to §1.0-S, Ontario red winter wheat is quoted on the basis of K8c, west and new white is placed Ic or so higher.

Tlie supply of money in the country still continues very large, and the banks are carrying more than they can possibly let out at a decent rate of interest. Public de- posits in all Canadian banks are still some- thing over §200,000,000 and a large share of this is not even bearing interest. This speaks well for tlio future and shows that when the reliable enterprise.s and invest- ments spring up they can certainly be well supported. The rate of interest at the banks and Government savings depart- ments is 3 per cent and call loans are being let out to stock brokers and others at 3Aper

There is a fair amount of activity in the grain market at present and prices appear to bo pretty well maintained all round. Local exporters have been doing a great deal in wheat, but peas and oats bave also been handled quite liberally both locally and for shipment. On the other sideCana- dian peas have been steadily advancing, in fact quotation^ witliin a comparatively short period went up from 4s 8d to 5s. Old peas hero have changed hands at 59c to 00c, but new crop maybe had at lAc to 2c a bushel less. Oats have held firm. Sales of No 2 have been made in store at 29c to 29^0, and a fair business has been done on that basis. The general range of values is about as follows :

No. 2 oats 29 to 29,-tc Peas, old 59 to OOo Peas, new 57 to 58c Feed barley 33 tolllo Rye 53i to 5-")c

Both barley and rye liavc held firm but iho volume of business has not amounted to much.

The demand for both Manitoba and On- tario flour from the other side keeps up at a good clip and shippers say they are get- ting very satisfactory prices. In a local way there is not so much doing. Dealers as a rule are pretty well stocked up at the high prices and for this reason aro not dis- posed to take any more, believing that while prices in the near future may pos- sibly go little, there is a very slim chance of tliem going any higher. Prices range as followi^.:—Spring wheat patents §5.75 to §5.90, strong bakers best brands §5.40 to §5.50, winter patents §5 to §5.25, straight rollers §1.70 to §4.90.

The demand for meal is slow at present and rolled oats are unchanged at §3.30 in barrels and §1.(50 in sacks.

P>ran and shorts aro inactive and prices holil just about tbe same. Ontario bran is quoted at §10 in bulk and Manitoba at §11 to §11.50. Shorts range about in propor-

Thc market fails to show much change either one way or the other. No 1 is quoted at §11,50 to §12 and No 2 at §9 50 to §10.50.

CHEKSK

Tho cheese market has been rather tamo this week and business in the country has also been very quiet. Holders in spite of this, however, are all very strong in tlicir views and some are persistently taking lOc, although the ruling price is still a little away from that figure. Here is a fair range of local values : l*’inest Ontario cheese 9;c to O^c Finest Townships cheese 94c to Finest (Quebec cheese 9:-:c to 9.1c

The demand for butter does not amount to a great deal at present but there is still (juite a lot going forward on old business. In a local way tho enquiry is also rather

]''iiiest creamery 19^ to 20c Seconds 00 to 184 Dairy butter 124 to 13c

Tho market is fairly active and good fresh eggs are realizing I'Jc to 17c. In an export way trade is just fair, but tlicro seems to be more or less demand all the

Cable advices were firmer this week and Ganadian cattle sold at quite an advance. Ldcaily the trade has not shown any great improvement. Exporters are buying free- ly in Ontario, and a lot of the stock is go-

ing by way of Boston owing to the cheaper freight rates. At the East End Abattoir there was not a groat deal done especially in]oxport way, as tho quantity of suitable stock was very small. Sales were made at 34c to -Ic for good, 2:1 for fair and 2o to 24c for common. Sales of sheep were made at 3c to 3)0 and lambs realized all tho way from §2.75 to §3.50.

G. E. CONVENTION.

Tho third annual convention of tho Glen- garry Union of Christian Endeavor, was held at Vankleek Hill, in the Presbyterian church, on tho 9th and lOtli of this month. The attomhince was very large, especially at tho evening mootings, when numbers had to turn away a.s every available space was occupied, doors and windows were wide open and outside each stood a crowd eagerly scekin,g to catch as much of the service going on inside as possible, and some were disappointed and had to return home. The church was beautifully decor- ated with flowers C. E. mottoes, flags, ban- ners, etc., and reflected great credit on the young people who had charge of this de- partment.

The pleasures of the convention began when'we boarded tlio train and met old friends and fellow delegates from other points. A long detention at Glen Robert- son gave an opportunity for holding an En- deavor meeting that was much appreeiat-

The Rev. Mrasrs. McLeod, Simpson and Cameron gave the delegates a cordial we) come, the response to which was given by the Rev. Mr. Graham, of Lancaster, and Mr.John Munro,B.A., of Maxville.

The reports of the SanFrancisco conven- tion given by the Rev. Messrs. McLaren and Cormack were very interesting, and furnished several helpful .points.'for-work-

Ucv. Mr. Russell, of Lunenburg, gaVe an earnest address on ’'Out' which is “A fuller view , of Jçsua.CItfist will melt oiir hearts, exalt our ideals, ôüer- gize all our powers and-purify owr’îfvés.”

Short addresses wero given on the differ- ent committees by Rev. Mr. Hastie, Rev. Mr. Charles, Miss Jennie Foulds, Miss Ina McNaughton, Mr. J. R. Simpson and Miss Lizzie ÀIcDonald, after which Dr. Alguire gave a very practical address on “Personal Dealing.”

Rev. Mr. Crummie gave an interesting account of work in Japan, and was follow- ed by lifr. T. A. Munro, of Montreal, on “Christian Citizenship.”

Rev. Mr. Mowat, of Montreal, addressed the convention on the importance of taking our religion into all our work. Rev. Dr. McTavish.of Toronto, gave two grand ad- dresses, ono on “Deepening of Spiritual Life.” and the other on “Deepening of Mis- sionary Interest,” and “Individual Respon- sibility for the Conversion of the World” was presented by Rev. Mr Givin, and “Junior Work” by Mrs. I. B. Ostrom.

Between the addresses some of our most beautiful hymns wero enthusiastically sung. A solo was given by Miss McKinnon and one also by Miss Burton, and a quartette by four of tho Maxville Endeavorers. The sunrise prayer meeting was conducted by Rev. Mr. Miller, of South Finch, and the “I’raise and Prayer” services were led by Rev. I\Ir. McKinnon, of Dalhousio Mills, lUr. A. Craig and Miss SIcDougall. One of the most impressive things was the ad- dress of the president, Mr. J. J. Wightman, of Maxville, it thrilled to every heart and will not soon be forgotten by any who hoard it.

A beautiful banner had been promised to the society that would give tho largest amount to missions in proportion to its membership. This was won by the Maxville Presbyterian Society of C. E., wliich with a membership of 37 raised §154 and all voluntarily given. The consecra- tion service was very solemn.

The executive officers of the Glengarry Union for the ensuing year are as follows ; Pres, Mr A C McArthur, Martintown ; 1st Vice-Pres, Miss F McLennan ; 2nd Vicc-Pres, Miss Hamilton ; Cor Sec, Miss Janet McLennan, Apple Ilill ; Rec Sec, Miss K Meinnes, Vankleek Hill ; Treas, Mr W J Simpson, Alexandria ; Supt Junior Work, Mrs I B Ostrom, Alexandria ; Ex- ecutive, Rev Messrs Russel, Simpson and McKinnon.

Registered delegates 14(5. Hospitality unbounded. Reports very encouraging.

PReSB'CTERY OF GLENGARRY.

The regular meeting of this presbytery was held in Lancaster on the 14th instant. Rev A Russell, the moderator, in the chair. In regard to the resignation of Rev J Matheson tendered last July, Rev J Hastie reported having duly cited the congrega- tions of Burns and Ileplezibale churches. Messrs J McIntyre, D Ross, II McGregor, J A Fre.ser and F D McLennan, as com- missioners from the two churches, were heard after Mr Matheson had given his reasons for resigning. After hearing ail these persons, Dr McNish moved, seconded by Rev D D McLennan, “That the resig- nation Ho on the table and that a com- mittee of presbytery, consisting of Revs D D McLennan, J Hastie and Dr McNish, be appointed to confer with the office bearers of his congregation at an early date, to seek to arrange the real or imaginary diffi- culties that exist between Mr Matheson and the congregation, and report at next regulaf meeting of presbytery in Decem- ber.” This was carried unanimously.

Rev N T C McKay tendered his 'resigna- tion of Summerstown congregation. Rev J S Burnet was appointed to cite the people of Summerstown to offer for their interests at tho December meeting of pres- bytery. An interesting discussion then arose over the last statistical report of the general nssemblyfrom which itwas evident that a great proportion of our families and church members coma far short in the duty of regular and liberal support of the church and its various missions, a small number regularly bearing the bulk of the financial burdens. As the outcome of this discussion the committee on Systematic Giving was directed to prepare a state- ment oil tl'.is line to be submitted in De- cember. The committee on Missionary Mectir.gs was empowered to make arrange- ments with Rev R F McKay and others to visit all congregations within the bounds early in October. The following resolu- tion was heartily adopted, viz:—“The Rresbytery of Glengarry having agreed to the translation of Rev TA Mitchell, desires to place on record its appreciation of hia faithful work in Avonmore, when he was inducted there 4 years ago, the congrega- tion w.is in debt and was receiving aid from the .’VugmeutationFund. He leaves it free from debt ami self sustaining. His rela- tions with his brethren in the presbytery have ever been of tlie most cordial charac- ter, and thr-ir best wishes and prayers go wiili him to his present field of labor.”

'J'hii treaKurer, Rev D MacLaren, men- tioned that 11 congregations had failed to pay anything into ihc Presbytery Fund during iS9tl-97, and yet iheassossinent bad been only throe cents per family. The

I committee was directed to issue a tabulat- I ed assessinunt for each congregation with

tho amounts named that arc asked for tbo various mission schemes.

A report of the W F M S was read to presbytery and the clerk was directed to acknowledge tlie same in cordial terms. Next regular meeting will be held in Max- ville on the 11th December at 11 a.m.

Trade at one of the directors’ luncheons

“I predict that at tlie close of this cen-

tury we are to have three years of such

prosperity as the oldest of those hero pre-

The find of gold in the Michipicoten

country has created quite a stir through-

out this province. The Commissioner of

Crown lands has not been slow to sec the

value to Ontario as well as to the whole of

Canada of this new opening for enterprise,

and one of his first steps 1ms been to des-

patch a scientist to make a careful survey

of the whole region with a view of giving

trustworthy information to the public at

Speaking at the French Canadian celeb-

ration at Salem, Mass., Sir Adolphe Cliap-

leau, Lieut.-Governor of Quebec, announc-

ed his intention of re-entering politics.

The following is an extract from his

speech :

“I have had very well defined opinions

and have often given a hundred blows in

exchange for one ; sometimes, perhaps, 1

have been too violent and also unjust, but

I have never gone to my back door, nor to

my neighbor’s house to tell my opinion so

that all might hear it, and I liave alwavs

bowed in the presence of talent. When the

illustrious leader of the Liberal party ■

brought us from England the last of our

great political liberties, Canada’s right to

make her own commercial treaties, a right

which he had won with his diplomacy and

his eloquence, I was the first to applaud

him, because he had worked well for his

country, and the principles that I have

practised in the past, 1 shall again again

practice in the future, for, I declare to you,

I shall return, and before long, into the

arena of politics.”

With tlm of a Conservative con- vention, in the Alexander Hall here this week, and the consequent placing in the field of Mr. D. R. McDonald as the party’s standard bearer in the approaching local elections, wc may justly pat it tliat the first gun lias been fired and the fight is practically on. The selection of Mr. Mc- Donald, to lead the forlorn hope in this county causes us no surprise, as Tuesday’s proceedings were merely for the purpose of ratifying a selection that had been made months ago by the local leaders, a selec- tion that meant the shelving of other aspirants who had longed for the position and time and again openly vaunted their capability of carrying the constituency liands down. How the deal was consu- mated : how the disappointed ones were so cajoled by Maclcnnan, McMillan, et al tliat they graciously swallowed their as- pirations, and in a twinkling of an eye learned to smile benignly on their more lucky competitor—is not our concern. The choice has been made and for the future it is Mr. McDonald who will receive our at- tention. In holding their convention at a time when the date of the elections is in- definite, and the placing of Mr. McDonald ill the field, the Conservative Association were no doubt actuated by the fact that their candidate, though fairly well known in his own township, Charlottenburgh, was practically unknown in the other sections of the county, and therefore to stand a ghost of a chance would require all the political advertising and booming that could be secured for him. Mr. McDonald is a good fellow, is already making his mark in the world as a rising young con- tractor,hut as a politician has done little or nothing outside of travelling concession roads expatiating on the merits of his political chief, K. It. McLennan M.B. The task he is undertaking, namely, wresting Glengarry from the Liberal government, is a herculean one, and eveiuually bound to be unsuccessful, for many reasons. The electors of Glengarry do not take kindly to pca-mit politics, to appeals to religious per- judices, to men continually dealing in generalities but unable to make one distinct charge against a government that has ruled for over a quarter of a century. They fully realize that the Province of Ontario is being well and economically governed, that times are good, that the government is carefully guarding the public treasury, that Mr. Whitney and his followers have a» yet advanced no theories or given no assurances that if a change is made, the new men will prove even moderately efficient as administrators. As intelligent men, electors holding paramount over all the welfare of their province they recognise that a change of leadership from Hardy to Whitney and the accepting of the con- sequences that naturally would follow, means the taking of the governmental reins from a ministry that has most efficiently administered and has most carefully husbanded the resources of the Province and the handing over of the same to untried, unskilled, incompetent men who even in this the eleventh hour, before a general clcciion, are groping about in the dark searching vainly for a policy with which to endeavor to win office. For these reasons and many others, wc repeat, Mr. McDon- ald’s task has like that of his leader, Mr. Whitney, the character of a forlorn hoje.

FUQ]'ISCIAL ISSVFS

Ontario is a province specially fortunate in the administration of its public affairs, and the people have the too rare gift of appreciating their good fortune. For a (piarter of a century there has been a Ministry in close touch with all the ener- gies wlîich have made for steady, healthy and continuous development, and nothing has occurred to mar a reputation for per- fect honesty, economy and foresight in the discharge of public duties. As the expan- sion of the province has created public needs they have been efficiently supplied, and where new districts capable of develop- ment have remained backward, needed aids and stimulants have been given. All assistance lias been given with a view to peopling the backward districts with a self- supporting population. Roads and bridges Iiave been built, drainage encouraged, effec- tive agricultural methods promoted, all in such a way that results have more than justified expenditures. In discharging the duties which have fallen to tlie Ministry in the more advanced development of the Trovince there has been the same care in securing efficiency with economy. Asy- lums for the insane and institutions for the education of tho.blind and deaf rautos have been established in accordance with grosving needs, and an educational system has been built up wliich is regarded as a model by leading cducationaiists both on tliis continent and in Europe. Ail this has been accomplished with a comparatively slow increase in the salary list, and the employees, somelinics spoken of as an “ army of office holders,” arc all giving

abundant value for the remuneration they receive. That businesslike feature of the administration has been a leading element in its continuous success. As a rule the Ontario Government employee has plenty of useful work to do, is thoroughly capable in the position in whicli he is placed and faithfully discharges his duty. At a time like the present, when onr national posi- tion is a theme of absorbing interest, wo are apt to lose interest in ijuestions of Provincial administration. This tendency is in a measure encouraged by the implicit confidence of the general public in the honesty of the Ministry and the general approval of its methods and achievements. This is not an unhealthy indifference such as has tempted Governments into question- able ways, but a fair appreciation of duty well done, with an assurance of confidence as long as it is deserved. Even the party Opposition, discharging as it docs the duty of criticizing the Tdioistry, can find no serious cause of complaint. In the cam- paign which lias been c^iened the one definite charge of policy demanded by the Opposition in the release of Toronto Uni- versity from Government control. They claim that it should be turned over to the graduates to manage as they may see lit. At present the graduates have a large measure of control, but the power of the province is, if necessary, supreme.

Before a change is made the possible re- sults should be carefully weighed. It is claimed, and with considerable force, that wealthy graduates would be more willing to make contributions if the University were free from Governmental control. That is no doubt true to a certain extent. Were the University handed over to the graduates many who now make no contri- butions could be induced to subscribe. But the financial aspect of the question is by no means the most important. Control and direction by the graduates has been found in many American Universities to mean control by a few wealthy patrons. That experience has not been repeated m Canada, but Vno class issues and the ques- tioning of economic beliefs which have led to millionaire rule in the United States are of more tardy development here. Prof. Bemis of Chicago University was told by President Harper that they must consider the source of their revenue. In that slight clash, slight on account of the weakening of the vanquished, the Standard Oil magnate was able to suppress economic inquiry. With the questioning of econimic beliefs the difficulties of professors in political science must increase. If they open up th“ minds of the students to independent in- quiry they will offend the wealthy patrons, and if they fail they will offend the stu- dents. There is an unhealthy fear, almost a terror, of the free economic inquiry in the United States which will in time be- come quite marked in Canada. Then the cviLof control by wealthy patrons, or by any single class having social affinities and leanings on one side of the growing class antagonisms, will be felt. When there are no debatable problems in the air and no terror of an independent search for truth, almost any management of a University can be successful. Then the system which promises the most liberal subscriptions and the widest and most sympathetic interest naturally commends itself. But many thoughtful Americans are realizing that it was a mistake to allow Ihe leading institutions of learning to pass from the control of the whole people to the control of a single class. It is a common fault for an Opposition to attribute all the defects in a Governmental institution to the Ministry of the day. All human in- stitutions are imperfect, and many, if not all,the defects of TorontoUniversity are re- produced in other Universities not under Governmental control. Some day the value of a popular voice or the possibility of a popular voice in the management may be made apparent. The coiïtrol of educa- tion is one of many important functions devolving on the Provincial Legislatures. They decide also all questions of property and civil rights, and determine the sphere and scope of municipality authority. The Government of Ontario has in addition vast resources to administer in the public interest. These considerations should be sufficient to fix attention on Provincial issues, for in them the real interests of the people are more materially affected.—The

Tho majority of now-eoincrs ivill remain at Juneau until spring. An effort will be made next year to turn the lido rf travi l by way of Sitka, going from -there to Yakoutal and Disenchantment Bay, and up the White River, the distance uejng only about 425 miles from Sitka to Daw- son, as against 700 miles from Junéau over the present trail.

A VALUABLE MURILLO

Found in a l>euU-r's Str>ro in Copoiilinjfcn—•

Stolon During T'rfînrli Invasion of S|»iln.

London, Sept. 13.—Tho discovery of a valuable Murillo is reported from Gopen- hagen, Dubois de la Rue, a French con- noisseur, found it in a dealer's poss(‘ssion, and has no doubt of its genuineness. He estimates its value at 812(),000. The owner, however, fixes the jirice^ at 8325,- 000. It is believed that tho picture was painted by Murillo for the Je.«uic monas- tery of San Ignacio do Loyola, in San Sebastian. The middle portion is well preserved, and is distinguished l;y the freshness and warmth of tho colors. The upper part, apparently, lias bi’cn some- what unskilfully restored. It is thought that it was removed from the monastei*y during the French invasion. Subscciuent- ly it was taken to England. It was .sold to a Norw(*gian by an Englishman, on condition that it should not b* olTer(>d for sale. 'I’his seems to indicate that it was stolen. It jirobably came to Denmark about 1820.

Saiilt Ste. Marie, Mich , Sept. 13.— Two gentlemen now here, who will go to Michipicoten on the steamer, are J. B. Bishop, of New York, an.l L. White, of Quebec. Bishop is one of the most wide- ly known promoters in tho United State.s. It was he who promoted the Bell Tele- phone Co. stock when in its infancy, the White Sewing Machine Co., and monj recently was the promoter of two com- panies formed to develop Klondike claims. Mr. White is a capitalist of Que- bec. Tho two gentlemen will endeavor to secure a portion of one of tin* promis ing claims at Lake Wawa, and sink a shaft for tho purpose of asc«*rtaining liow tho quartz pans out at a dejitii. Neces- sary implements and a gang of men will be taken np for the work, which, it is thought, will require aliout three weeks’ time and wiU necessitate an investment of something like 8.5.990. If they strike pay rock it will indicate, positively that there is plenty in the region at other points. Several parties will go up on the next boat.

Tory journals arc dcliglitfully prolific l-frindü^é^j^tb'c, in the fake story Une,

' Wr. /vlleged dissensions among the ininion Cabinet Mi.iisters is one noî7 iig plentifully dished up ns a thought

id for the faithful. They have had such thorough surfeit of real dissensions

imong their own party leaders that an im- Liimry tale of bickering going on in the

liberal Cabinet is heartily relished, and a ilcasing diversion from the long continued ftuitemplation of tlieir own internal war-

,rc. Fabrications such as this, however, in never have much weight even with the ore simple minded and too credulous tory,

irone as he is to accept the fictions of his ress. A little thoughtful consideration : file matter ought to convinco liiin that Ills story, like many another from that ourci'’, is merely the work of the fable-

inak ^r. There are not many of the Minis- ters in Ottawa at the present time, and ); .;rc have been few liere since the holiday -ason opened. Some are absent on the

:sual vacation trip while others again arc [uvay on business missions. The pleasing lastimo, therefore, of snarling at one an- )ther, according to the Tory fictiunists, Imist bo indulged in across miles of land or «ca. The contemplated’resignation of Sir Oliver Mowat from the Cabinet in order to as-jume the higher dignity and office of Liout-Governor of the province of Ontario, will no doubt afford the torj' press with material to construct another dissension talc. Sir Oliver Mowat’a retirement from active politics in the Federal arena has

'always been a well understood matter in political circles, and his elevation to the

«ubernatori.al chair of the province he has

f 80 long and so faithfully served, will receive ; unanimous approval. It is such a position IwlUch, while filling it, will not detract from f his usefulness, but will stiT afford him I opportunities of rendering his valuable ' assistance in the upbuilding of the country.

The fable-worker is already getting I in his work upon the subject of ^ir Oliver’s withdra\\al from the f liberal Cabinet. It has been said that Sir ^Oliver is now making his retirement from the Ministry contingent upon the lion. David Mills being given the portfolio of iiistice. Such a condition would be rather liciatori;il, to say the least, and it would be quite unnecessary to attach such a pro-

iso to the resignation of the present Min- Tutor of Justice. The selection of the Hon.

I^Mr. Mills by the Premier as the successor to the present incumbent of the Justice '].)cparlment, would be appreciated by the general public. He is recognized as a lead- ing mind in legal circles, and a man of wide knowledge and experience and one ihoroughly trusted for his integrity. It is a fake story that hardly needs denial since it carries its own reputation on the face of >it.

Between the stories of cabinet dissen' bions and the travels of Cabinet Ministers tile Tory press manages to work itself up to a fine fume, and it makes funny read-

ing indeed when viewed in the light wliich a little reflection lends in looking backward over tlic record of the past eighteen years

i ill this respect. These papers would have mis infer that Tory ministers never travelled i in the days of their long lease of power. ^ It has been stated that one of these Tory ^cconomizerR besides being very much upon the road,in a moment of thriftiness actual- ly brought home in Ins palace car Ins Lvinter stock of potatoes. The junketing H ministers of the late regime are matters Bf notoriety and were carried to such an Vxt.cnt as eventually to amount to a scand- U. They travelled early and lato, but bince their travelling days, at the country’s expense, are done, they exhibit great

uixictY to shift the stigma that attached j 0 them upon Inberal Ministers’ shoulders. fut tlie game will not work. Liberals

ay be trusted to economize the public expenditure, even as they do the short 'iine they allow themselves for the ncces-

ry period of rest. ►Iv. Foster’s prediction that the expendi- Ç for the past fiscal year would create a

■it of not less than S‘2,000,000, has again fS\'ed him a poor prophet. Although lig

-repared the estimates for the past vear and should bo in a position to know whereof ho speaks, he evidently misundef- «tands the situation. It is the Liberal

iparty which has charge of the public ex- [cheijuer and supervises the spending of the public moneys. Had Mr. Foster’s party remained in power it is pointed out that tl-ie financial returns would have revealed Ihreo and a half millions of a deficit on die ;>Och of Juno last. The returns of the revenue and expenditure of Canada for the past fiscal year has recently been handed down, and they sliow that instead of the sum predicted by Mr. Foster there is only -the small deficit of $-32J,7d‘J upon consoli- dated revenue account. This showing is hertainly a most satisfactory one and at- Icsts the economy of tlie present govern- ment in endeavoring to retrench on the public expeudituves. -

American whisky distillers evidently akc little stock in the prohibition senti- Aent of Canada. They are preparing to ■port their goods to Canada. Heretofore Ibro was no money to be made out of janadian trade since tlio American dealer

IS obliged to pay an excise duty on his pior.s as well as the Canadian import tax, ss making a successful competition with hadian product in whiskies impossible. Icntlya cliange in tho U. S. revenue i- revenues the excise duty on that class

HINTS ON PLOWING.

^rransement of FieUls With Koferenro to l,.outj FurrowH.

Tho arrangement of fields and their >izo and shape have much to do witli •use and rapidity of getting in crops, ami soinctimc.s tho saving of a few honr.s’ work make.s a week’s difference In the time of finishing plowing and

tlio sowing of a field. It is .strange that inoro attention is not given to tho ar- rang- :::r;it of fields with reference to Ion'-f-.-.'-rows and to similarity of soil. A sfimire acre plowed with a 15 inch fnrmw requires 84 rounds and 836 turns, v. hilo the same area in tho form of a priiMllflcgram, 2 rods by 80, requires only 13 rounds and 52 turns. It is .safe to .«ay that in tho one form it will take tv.ice the time to plow that it docs in tlie other, to say notliing of tlio serious trampling which the square piece will be subject to. Those figures were origi- nally given in Tlio Country Gentleracm by a writer who said:

ITicro arc two farms in my own town o:i wliicli fences between tho fields havo been removed, vet cultivation is con- tinued as formerly, eacli field by itself, alrhnu<:h in one case tho furrows might bo tripl' d i:i length by plowing clear across Iho farm. On another farm, four five acre fields have been thrown into o:;o, r.uiking a field 80 by 32 rods in size. Tins tii'id plowed as often tlio short w::y : s tin- long one ami wJv;i; mowed is generally cut in plats of four or five arve.s .aToss the. field. To mow this field wiili :'.four foot swath, it would require 13:3 n un 's and 528 turns, l'o mow it in fivo S' paratc pii'cos would require 4121.^ v.-mmis and 1,(kiiO turns.

GUNGARRIANS ABROAD.

The following is an extract from a letter received at this office from a subscriber formerly a risident of Glengarry, bat now of South McLeod, Alberta, N.W.T. :

“ This is a new town called South Mc- Leod, and is situated about two miles from the old town. At present everytliing indi- cates that tho town will liavc a very rapid growth. There are two boarc-ling houses here. There are also offices and machine shops, the latter employing 120 liP.nds and still building. Every train that comes in brings a large force of men. The road is graded to Lethbridge,a distance of .33 miles. The old town suffered from fire lately. Two buildings went up in smoke, The loss was estimated at $S,0U0 with no insurance, Among the number of Glengarrians here wo notice :—Messrs. M. W. Stewart, Mal- colm Campbell and Kenneth Fraser, of Dunvegan ; John D. Gillis, N. A. TMcCrim- mon. Messrs. Diincau and Dan Morrison passed through town on their way to Fin- cher Creek, C.N.F. A jolly time was spent ill camp on Thursday night last. Scotch dancing was indulged in and we. had the jileasnre of listening to mimbor of good old Gaelic songs. All the Glengarrians here arc apparently in the full enjoyment of health and prosperity.”

A BARN CAR.

It I.lgliten* Farm Labor by Carrylnf* En- flflacc or Manure.

Tho help problem among farmers is today one of the most .serious with which they have to contend, and any device that tends to lessen or save la- bor will or should be hailed with de- light as a boon of no little vaine. Tho accomp.inying illustration is presented in the hope that some one may bo as- sisted in lightening the farm labors by the xisc of this ensilage or manure car- rier. It was formerly illustrated in Farm, Field and Fireside and described as follows by a New York correspond- ent, who writes that he had seen it in practical operation on a dairy farm as an ensilage carrier and in a stable as a manuro carrier:

G G G is a track of iron such as is used for barn doors, and F a car for carrying the nmuuro or ensihage. Fas- ten the track scc\irely to the celling either ahead or behind the cows, accord- ing as it is desired for use in feeding or in stable cleaning, running it the whole length or clear around th(î'stable as is most convenient, tho carrier being so constructed that tho wheels will turn on a curve in tho track.

Four carrier wheels aro boltcil fn pair.s to tho block.®, A A, and hung to the track, the blocks running clo.se to 1 ho track to prevent the wheels jumping off.

These blocks aro bolted to a heavy Bcantling, B B, under them, to connect

A M-VNl'IlM ( AKi:iKi:. them a .«ingle bolt only being used in each blocl:, thus allowing the wlieols to turn tho curve in tho track as referred to above.

D is a crc.ssbar above the car and to which the car F is hung by rod.s, H II, tlie lower ends of the rods hooking into staples near the bottom of tho car. There may be a rod from the crossbar D to the backend of the car to steady it until ready to dump, which ca*,j be done easily by simply unhooking this rod. 0 i.s a heavy swivel connecting the timber between tho two pair.® of wheels and the crossbar D.

By the liandles at tho forward end of the car it can bo easily moved in cither direction upon tho track, even wlieu fully loaded, tlie car holding about one- fourtli of a wagou Jo:ul.

Winter Grain Seeding.

August is the mouth when the farmer in all tho winter wheat sections of the country is bu.sy in preparing tho seed bed for winter grain. Ryo is loss in- jured by lack o^ preparation of the seed bed than is wheat. The chief object for both grains is to make a .shallow seed bed able to hold as much moisture as is needed to germinate tho seed grain, but at the same time havo a firm and dry bortoni for the seed bed, which the grain roots shall not be able to penetrate, fiariy plowing and abundant use of the roller will secure these conditions. If p ihlo slightly harrow the surface soil ami then roll it down after each rain. Tms may seem to the inexperienced to make tho .surface too liard for a good seed bed, but so that tho wheat will germinate and catch hold with its roots of the surface soil tho seed bed cannot be too hard.—American Cultivator.

Kow York’s H»y Crop.

Here is what the New York Sun says about the state’s hay crop:

The New York hay crop is larger than that of any other state in tho tJnion, hut this yea** the recent heavy rains damaged part of it. New York state hay always has the commercial advantage of access to market. The value of tho New York hay crop is $50,000,000 a year, and what is called “New York state hay” is placed on the same commercial plane as Kentucky whi.sky, Maryland tobacco and Ver- mont maple .sugar. Maine and Vermont are liay states to a con.siderable extent, while Connecticut and New Jersey yield but little.

Strawberries of Merit.

Nearly 200 varieties of strawberries havo boon tested at the station at Am- herst, Mass. The following are report- ed to bo of greatest merit: Beverly, Bubach, Brandywine, Enhance, Golden Defiance, Greenville, Haverland, Lead- er, Lovett and Parker Earle. Tho ten most proiiii.sing varieties of those le.s.s generally grown were Arrow, Glen Mary, (laiidy Belle, Howard’s No. 14, Luther, Marston, Pacific, Princess, Rio &ad Splendid.

News an<l Notes.

Couipurod with last year, there is a decided roclucTiou in the potato supply.

A big shortage is indicated in the corn crop of 1897.

Tho oat crop is a moderate one, but of fair quality.

Returns indicate a heavy yield of winter wheat.

Most grow’crs agree tliat levcd culture of potatoes briug.s the largest crops.

Professor J. C. Artliur of the Indiana station has found that a solution of formalin gives on tho whole better re- sults than tho corrosive sublimate in preventing potato .scab.

Rural New Yorker suy.s: “Don’t dig tho potatoes until the viiM’.s are entirely dead. The tubers grow while there is a spark of life in the Yine.s.’’

Tho agricultural department, after long experiments with lawn grasses, dcclare.s that creeping bent is the finest lawn grass know’n.

The government crop reports show the apple promise as extremely low save in the far west and on the Pacific coast.

NORTH WEST CREAMERIES The copy of The Farmers’ Advocate for

Superintendent of Government Sta- tions in the North West Territory, but who was for many years superintendent for the Allan Grove Combination in tl'.is county. Mr. Kmsella gives a description of the in- dustry and the points at which creameries are carried on. He also describes the con- struction of the creameries an<l states the cost of each building to be from $1000 to $1800 and of plants to be about $1000. Mr. Kinsella speaks liighly of the crop prospects in the North West.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT On Sunday evening as Mr. Ed. I\IcKin-

non of Vankleek Hill was wheeling through town, on his way returning homo from Stanley Island, lie met with a painful accident, as a result of which he sustained

. a fracture of the' right arm immediately above the elbow. As he was passing Mr. John Mchlillan’s store the wheel got into a rut and Mr. McKinnon was precipitated with such force as to cause the fracture. Although the pain was intense, he did not think the bone had been fractured until he reached Dr. McLonnan’s oOico, where the arm was set by Drs. McLennan and A. L. Macdonald. Mr. I\IcKinnon re- turned to Vankleek Hill the following morning.

MISS HATTIE MePHADDEN We deeply regret this week to announce

the untimely death, which occurred on Friday last, the 10th inst., of Miss Hattie MePhadden, daughter of the late Charles JlcPhadden, Esq., of Martintown, The deceased lady had been suffering for some time from that dread disease consumption and although her sufferings were great they were borne with remarkable patience and fortitude. Besides her mother, three sisters and one brother are left to mourn her early death. Among lier friends and associates lier kind and amiable disposition and her sterling Cliristian character had won for her a warm place in their hearts, and among them her loss will be keenly felt. Tlie funeral took place to St. An- drews cemetery, Martintown, on Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev, P, F. Langill, pastor of the congregation. The pall-bearcrs were:—Messrs. Harlow Smith, Harry Smith, Geo. Burwash, Dr. D. Mc- Lennan, Dr. C. Conroy, of Denver, Col., and Andrew McCallum. We extend to the bereaved relatives our deepest sympathy in their hour of trial.

CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION

The groat convention of the Glengarry Conservatives called for Tuesday last for the purpose of nominating a standard bearer in the next provincial elections, was held in Alexander Hall and could not by any means be called an unqualified success. I\Iany sections of the county were entirely unrepresented and no section sent in a large deputation. In fact the total atten- dance was less than 100 including a num- ber from the town and a good few who were not voters. It was generally sup- posed prior to the convention that a num- ber of names would come before the con- vention but only those of two were brought up. namely, Messrs. Donald R. McDonald, of WilHamstown, and Capt. D. M, Robert- son, of Toronto. The latter, however,with- drew his name and Mr. McDonald’s nomi- nation was made unanimous. A number of resolutions were then carried, expressing confidence in Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Whitney and censuring the Ontario government for wasting natural resources of the province, etc. A resolution was also passed expressing appreciation of Lt. Col. McLennan’s course in parliament in his efforts to secure the reformatory and con- demning the Dominion Government for stoppage of work on the same. Also one pledging the convention to support the choice of the majority. After a brief speecli by Lt, Col. R. R. McLennan, M.P., and the election of the old officers for the ensuing year the meeting broke up.

THE COUNTY OF PRESCOTT FAIR

“An unqualified success.” Such was tlie remark passed by many who had the the pleasure of attending the great county of Prescott Fair this week at Vankleek Hili. We use the word “great” advisedly for the reason that the F air was in every sense of the word greater than ever.The at- tendance on Wednesday alone was a record breaker, over 3,.^00 people passing through the wicket. The membership since last year has been increased by some four hundred. The total exhibits were far in excess of last year and the display of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, has never been equalled in Eastern On- tario outside of Ottawa. The numerous attractions such as horse races, acrobatic feats, step dancing, singing, etc., fur- nished for the amusement of young and old were “up-to-date” in every particular. Barret’s band of Ottawa, during the after- noon rendered a fine programme of music. The bicycle parade gotten up by the bicy- cle club at tlie “Hill” reflects great credit on the young men that took part. Their costumes wore good and their wheels very prettily decorated. In the evening the annual directors’ dinner took place, some fifty guests sitting down to what proved a most sumptuous repast. The after dinner speeches were well up to the average and the happy references made to the success of the fair, a fact mainly due to the untir- ing efforts of the president Mr. Abbot •Jolmson and the obliging secretary, I^Ir. ]’’rcd W, Thistletiiwaite, must have pleased tiiesc gentlemen and their brother directors.

BETTER THAN GOLD

IS THE RARE TREASURE OF PERFECT

HEALTH.

A Nova Scotia Lady Says “ I Consid»

er Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a Prico-

less Boon to Suffering I-luman-

ity.”

From the Amherst, N.S-, Sentinel.

The rugged and the strong do not ap- preciate to its full extent the blessing of perfect health. It is only those who have passed through a trying illness, who feel that health is a treasure to be prized more than silver or gold. Among those who have experienced the truth of this is Miss Sabra Rector, of West River Hebert, N.S. This lady has passed through a trying and wearisome illness, from which happily relief was found through the medium of a medicine that has brought health and strength to thousands of others, and whose medicinal virtues will work equally good results in all cases where it is given a fair trial. Jliss Rector says :—“ I feel it is my duty to recommend Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills, as they have done wonders for me.

About two years ago I became very ill with a complication of diseases. I was suffering with indigestion, biliousness and the resulting nervous disorders, such as sick headache, loss of appetite, and flashes of heat and cold. I began doctoring, and although I had the best of care I seemed to grow worse every day. I slept but little and when lying down would grow so hot and suffer from a sensation of smothering that I would find it necessary to arise. Then the other extreme would come and I would shiver with cold. Time wore on and there was no improvement in my condition. I was not able to do any work about the house and even the exertion of moving about would tiro me out. If I attempted to walk any distance or hurried in tlie least I would gasp for breath and could scarcely speak I had a very poor appetite, and what food I ate did not seem to agreo with mo or furnish needed nourishment, and I also suffered with a severe pain in my side and back. During this time I tried many remedies, but they gave me no relief what ever. I had become so weak and niy system was so run down that life was a burden to me. At this stage my attention was directed to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I determined to give them a trial. After using four boxes I felt so much better that liope aud encouragement came to me once more. I continued the use of the Pink Pills and found myself steadily gain- ing health and strength. By the time I had used four boxes more I had fully re- gained health and strength and T am not only able to do ray fuU'sbare of household work, but also attend to my Sabbath school class and other church duties. I look upon Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a priceless boon to suffering humanity.”

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily re- store the rich glow of liealth to pale and sallow cheeks. Sold by all dealers, or sent by mail postpaid, at 50c a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. William»’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
