An unsucce'asful attempt has recently been made hy tise Opposition lanVise Legisiature, aided by the 'Tory party press, te, dispar- age tise Miniâien cf Agriculture, Hon. Mr. Dryden, on accouait cf the appearance cf tuberculoisis la tise dairy herd at tise Agricultunal Cuilege. Regrettable as tise outbrcalt doubtiese le, it iîe te be deplored that a dcmestic incident cf this kind shicnid be dragged into the as-ena of poli- tics and made ,the basis uf au oaslaught upoeu Mr. Dryden and bis efficientiy ma- agd departmieat. But on the eve of a politicai cuntest, ne, incident about whicis popuilar discussion mnay be aroused seerus tco trîvai te be subvented te party enas. Matters that at otiser tîmes would excite ncý crîticier are tisen eeized upon and made te do service as party anununition for thse tinse being ; tla sus, with the case ln peint.

In their discussion of the matter la thse lIeuse, Mr. Dryden's opponenite have en- deavored te malte thse foliu-wiag points%, baseS upon a stat&emeut supbied thein by the recenitly dismissed farm foremnan at thaecoilege: (1) That Lin Decemben l192 Mr. Dryden purchasel two diseased Guernsey cens lan(Great Britain, anS tisat, upen their arrivai, 'ie permiitteti thein te mingle witli thecae herd, la spite cf the faet thut ea he en warned t1hat they wene diseased.

(5) 'Tisatlhe aiiowed four caiv,ýs te be offered at the annunal sale of stock, knowing tiem te be iseased.

In Minnesota a constitution- ai amiendraeit authcrizing tise taxation et luheritances is te be subiitted ýte the peo- pie next ye ar. We exempt 981 estates eut of every 1,000, judgang freim the resuits la 1893, and thse scale, cf duties whieh we in ecd case exact is very moderate. Our receipts la 1893, amoon.ting te, as I have said, $45,507, were pald by 27 estates, tefi et whicis were tise estates ef persons re- sident la the County cf York. Two es- tites, une in Ottama 2and une ini Torunto, takenii together, paied duty te the amount cf $29227, wh'ichis l more than une-half uf cur total receipts for the year.
