aire full ot order and that tfee demand upon them 1 are increasing while they have not nn naturally conelodeti that they are a long way from the limit which they aredestined to touch wholesalers and middlemen appear to think that they are only now en tering upon the realisation ot the immense trade that is opening up in front ot them while retailer are at their- wits end to met the demand thataro made upon them not oav4 for special lines but for the eutire list iu which thenar accustomed todeal consumers are confident tljat the day of bettor times has dawned and no longer are they disposed to purchase in a niggardly manner but seem to be ready to go with a full bead of steam when we make these remarks weare not we are happy to say applying them to the dominion of canada alone for the

boldly with being so con siderate for a fellowprohibitionist when be gets into an awkard scrape there is one thing certain however this journal cannot be charged with maliciously mis representing the case in the endeavor to injure a public officer who was in ho sense 1 any more responsible for the unfortunate occurrence previously referred to than the young man who was wounded this can not be said of our maligning cotem even our esteemed contemporary the georgetown herald finds it to be wisdom to end a controversy in its columns when it partakes of little else than senseless bickerings and illogical statements edifying only to the writers themselves this it did last week in reference to a controversy which hss been running for some months as follows i thus endeth a controversy which has done no good we commend the editor of the herald for acting thus wisely and well promise him that if any of the closed out correspondents come to the fbekpbbss with their rejected com- municatiens attacking the heralds editor and perhaps containing annoying uncalled- for and insulting personalities and innuen does directed t those who deign te differ with uhem in their opinions upon they matter at issue that the tbjos press will not stultify itself by admitting the trash to its columns the case against johu duff erin fat violation of bylaw 145 was heard before reeve storey last friday

part in the burialj wm smith sworn i dug the grave for donald duffsbody beside the grave ot john duffs son jn the old cemetery i charged the digging of the grave to mr john duff johnduff the defendant then said i admit ordering my brother to be buried in the graveyard at aotoin as stated by the witnesses and hold myself alone responsi ble for the lact j the magistrate theii asked mr duff if he had anything further to say in the case mr duff said he hail hoard from report that the new cemetery was in dispute yet and was not aware that a bylaw bad been passed closingthe old one he desired to bury his brother were his son was buried no one told him it was unlawful and there fore he did not know he was breaking the law mr storey said he was pleased and im pressed with the honest and frank demean or of mr puff and although it was a well- understood principle that violators of the law could not plead ignorance in justifica tion yet it was the justices duty to take cognizance of any mitigating circumstances connected therewith it seemed strange to him though that persons officiating nt the funeral should not have told mr duff he was breaking the law it was very far from- the councils desire to levy penalties all they required waa due respect for muni cipal authority it must be borne m mind that tho coun cil at the request ofithe citizens had passed a bylaw to purchsma new cemetery and that thsibylaw wasrratified by a respect able majority taw then exercised the right they possessed close the old ceme tery in the interesjof the public health since then the right ju the municipality to what is known is this six acres has been disputed by a person having no regard or respect for the peoples wishes they had done all they could as a council they had treated every person with the utmost consideration kindness and courtesy and yet they were met the most obstinate and unseemly oppwftou it should be re membered however that this opposition though directed against tho council per- sonally is- likewise intended to frustrate the interests of every citizen who voted for the cemetery bylaw proceeding the magistrate said he hoped that not only mr duff but others would re move the bodies recently buried in the old cemetery and save him the disagreeable duty of fining him and them fie would reserve judgment for one week and would then give his decision should he feel it hib duty to impose a penalty he would rec ommend the council to remit the fine upon removal of the body within a reasonable time he should feel sorry to fine him yet he had to remember the duty he owed to the people he represented itt bom 2 men hurrop 3 0 5 n norrish 51 joh 2 aud uio tottyylnjv beaty mrtft i mrs jas deforest atlllcs ml pinny vauflwn a c monah ma juo stewart l hollingretn e hi uter joln
