Mr. Hevd's officiai majority in South Brant is8§81. Mr Fauvel, Liberal M. P., for Bona- venture, Que., is dead. Oxford county Councfl voted $500 to the India relief fund. The Dominion Government has cap- lured four seats from the Conservative Opposition since June 23, representing eight votes on a division in th e flouse. Good beginning. Some otherwise good citizens do in ~ lities what tliey woud neyer do in uùsiness,saysKnoxonian. Canada will neyer amount to mucli as a nation un- tii lier people adopt the same code of honor in plities as in social and business circles. There must not be two stand- ards of right and wrong in this young country. Mr.Laurier and his Government have done more for farmers since coming into power last June than their pre- decessors did the last five years. Thle Iast good stroke of business was the removal of the quarantine for cattie between Canada and the Unitecd States. Our cattie mav now be shipi ýd, to the Àmerican markets or through to Amer- ican ports for export witliout the delay of 90 days. STANIN'G 0F TUE PARTIES.

COUNTRY PUBLISHIERS. When the Press Association adjourn- cd la Toronto on Friday a meeting of publishers of country 'veekles was lield to consider the advisabilitv of forming a section te be composed ëxclusively of editors and publisliers of weekly news- papers, The impression was conveyed to thc association that those interested la thc daily press occupy se mudli of the time and attention of thc annual meet- ings that mach greater advantagc would corne to the country newspaper mca if tliey were privileged te meet as a distinct section, because the intcrests of the two classes of publishers are se very different la many respects. The desire of thc promoters is not te witli- dra'w from the Canadian Press Associ- ation but te be allowed to organize as a section of it 'itli autliority te conduet thleir meetigs la accordance 'vitli their owa specal interests as printers and puhsir.
