Mr. Fitzpatrick said he was {not given any notice of Mr. Porter's desire for y discussion of the 'case, but he quoted from memory the proceed- ings he had taken to bring the offend: fers to justice. He had first sént the in- spector of police to make an enquiry, He followed this by sending the com- missioner of police too. He engaged counsel. Mr. Porter had been called Jon, but was ' non-communicative. 'He said little and referred the crown's |officers to his solicitor in Toronto. . Mr. Porter's excuse for this. was that he had a criminal libel suit on at the time, and Mr. Fitzpatrick's re ply was that it was more important | to get the conspirators arrested and {into jail. "T have always been at a loss to understand," said Mr. Pitz patrick, Ywhy he was so vigorois in his prosecution for criminal libel and $0 dilatory in presenting those con- nected with the fraud." The escape of Shibley and Lott was 1 to besregretted, but the minister of justice made it clear that he and the government were not to blame. Mr. Porter did not make much out of the case, He got, however, what he seems to have wanted--some newspaper no- tice. But for this episode we might have forgotten that he was a member of parliament. ------ The Scheme Disapproved.

"In a few words the scheme in to raise the water in Lake Erie, by damming it, but it has been confessed that hitherto the data did not show what the cffect would be in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence channels. This information is being collected and it was hoped to show by it that the Lake Erie dam would not interfere with the navigation of the waters between it and the ocean, The position of the city of Mon- treal was set forth hy Mr. Gear, who said that the board of trade felt that the Lake Erie scheme meant a serious interference with navigation along the whole canal system * and the river St. Lawrence. To his mind the dam referred to in Lake Frie would affect. the water level and render the expenditure in dredging in the river and eanals a waste of money. The work would have to be done over again, The attitude of the shipping federa- tion was expressed by Mr. Allan, of the Allan line of steamships, who said the navigation of the St. Law- rence was a question of inches, not feet, and he protested against any ox- If you knew how insistent we have to be to got the kind of that we kiow gives greatest it and burns slowest.

Much had been done to ake the river navigable by boats of heavier draught, but much more had to be done so that trade might find an out- let by the nearest route between Ame: rica and Europe. Gther Canadians expressed themselves in a similar way. Col. Frost, of Washington, referred to his opinion which had been ex- pressed to the effect that the Lake Erie dam would damage the St. Lawrence route, and in doing so fulfil the mission of its projectors. Such a thought had not been enter- tained by any seriously disposed per son. 'The St. Lawrence river belong- ed to the United States as well as Canada, aiid nothing would be done about the Lake Erie canal unless it had the approval of both countries.

These conclusions are impressive. While Laurier lives there is no hope of a change in public sentiment. Why? He has the confidence of the people. They recognize hinv as a great lea er, as one possessed of the wisdom, sagacity and prudence which his office demands. They see, too, that he does not hold first place in the people's | affections by the tricks of the politi- cian. He can disapprove of some things, meant to irritate or excite his countrymen, and not lose in the re spect or popularity of the people. fn this respect he differs from other would-be leaders.

Washington, July 13.~In the post office department's crusade against im- purity in the mails, attention has heen directed to questionable souvenir pos- tal cards. Daily the officers of the general superintendent of the city and rural fee delivery are in receipt of scores of these cards having a ten- dency toward the immoral, obscene or profane, They are sent in by arguas- eyed mail carriers, post clerks or post- masters all over the country in con- formity with the instructions of the postmaster general that such missives mus not. be delivered to the persons addressed.

Cris well, editor and publisher of the New Yorker, a weekly publication, was ar- rested on a charge of eriminal libel, made by Congressman Joseph L. Rhi- noch of Kentucky The paver published that Rhinoch (introduced at Cincin- nati to Miss Roosgvelt) had been in- dicted by the Campbell County, Ky., grand jury on the charge of snatching a roll of $50 from an old farmer at the Alexandria fair. Criswell says the information in the article had been sent to him by 'a correspondent in Cincinnati, whom he had known for twenty vears. He asked for an ad- journment, so that he could get a copy of the alleged indictment and wet his correspondent here from Cali- fornia. 2 Congressman Rhinoch said he be lieved that the article had been inspir- ed through polities. He said he had never heen indicted and that Mr. Longworth was a man of good repu- tation and standing. Although he dis- liked notoriety, he said he had made up his mind'to prosecute, Well Laid-Out Poultry House.

WAS ENJOYED ON THE RIV-|c BUMPITY BUMP! Bumptions Bump is Being Bumped . FP. Turner. Brooklyn, in Rochester, Post Express. news despatches say that De- puty Collector of Oustoms Duane Bump at Charlotte ordered the British flag to be taken down from the Brit- ish ship Acacia of Ki on, threaten. ed to-board the ship himself and haul down the colors, and when the captain dared him to touch the flag he retali- ated by refusing to issue clearance pa pers while the was flying. If this story is true Mr. Bump is clearly unfitted to hold responsible federal office, Surely a child would know that an American ship is virtu- ally American soil and a British ship or any other has the same argument. When I showed the account of the de- puty collector's act to a well known naval officer in navy yard here, he said it seemed impossible that such an outrage could have happened. "I won- der what we would say," Le added, "'if an American ship was ordered to strike Old Glory by an official in a strange port. It would be almost an act of war, unless a government apo- 1 were forthcoming." a case at this date such pre- judice is foolish. Our country has been built up by so many millions from all countries and July Fourth is the an- niversary of the founding of a great nation. The quarrel of the British col- onists. with the German king of Eng- land over unjust taxation surely was & great blessing und one that should leave no trace of bitterness on our part at this late date. Our quarrel was with George I11., not with the British people who so soon after we had led the way, peaceably obtained what we to fight for--no taxation without representation. The colonists fought actively for thie very principle for which their fathers and cousins and brothers in England had long been contending and soon after cnjoved. So of course they revere Washington in Great Britain as one of the dozen great pioneers. that achieved liberty for the English speaking people. Tt is surely very foolish when we are near ing a hundred millions to look back and feel 'bitterness for the struggle which made us what we are to-dav. We should read Cobbett and Franklin and take a lesson from their pages written when we were young and fee- ble. But to demand that the British flag be taken from a British vessel on our great national holidav is an in- sane act beyond - belief. What about the French flag? Washington was fighting that just before to save the colonies from their grasp. How soon we forgave and forgot and welcomed them as allies ! SPORT REVIEW.

The best results in wool growing are had by feeding a mixture of wheat bran four parts, linseed meal one part and oats one part. This mixture is always safe for ewes and lambs. -p Timothy hay is the curse of sheep. Don't feed it if possible to avoid it. When dover hay is fed, one quart a day of the mixture is a liberal ra- tion for ewes, and half of this quanti- ty for lambs. Red top is excellent for sheep. but it must not be too drv or woody.

Improving Gullies. On many farms are pronounced gul- lies or rums, which not only injure the appearance of fields. Hut increase the labor of working the farm. Many of these have a small stream of water running down through the centre. To improve such conditions, old stone walls should be filled into the bot- toms of the runs for drainage, and shoulders of the hanks nlonghed down upon the stones. Treated in this way, runs that formerly reqnired machinery with a result, too, that where only swale grass would grow, good hay can now be grown. If stone walls are not waiting to be cleared awav, a tile drain can be laid through the centre of the run, and . the hanks plonghed down to cover it deeply.
