It was not the B | conoaption of the government, as the | conservative papers and speakers have alleged, (but emanated from the mem- bers of the house, without party dis- tinction, and passed without full con- sideration. Said Mr. Ficlding at a meeting in Sarnia : "There was one thing certain, the conservative party could mot attack the liberal party on that jssuc. He would not discuss the wibdom of the affair. The Lill had been passed by | J both partick after a wutual under- standing, by an almost: unanimous vote. It was preposterous for one party to make that question an issue against the other party. "One mistake had been wade, and that was that the bill had been pass- | in the last week 'of the session, a very | long and hard "session, and it had not heen. thoroughly discussed. There were some questions that got' out of the eabinet's or prime minister's bands, and that question was one of them, The members took it upon ; and asstimed the responsibility, The government could have refused the de- yond, but it was very diffiouk cto ny tho request of the members of the whole house," 4 The fact that there wos a demand Arony both sides of the house for larg- er compensation, for loss of time and labour and expehise, does not popular- ize the movement. The people are not satisfied, and the promise is that the act will be revised and amended in sovoral particulars at the next ses sion, The byeclections went yesterday as and. so gave a dinner, the colours of at rate per lus for casval advertise h Society is in a very disturbed state dn.

'It was understood that the inner circle of New York, those who were qualified by a text peculiar in its char- acter and quality, was composed of 400. Some years ago Mr. McAllister had devoted his leisure hours to' a i Now, however, there is a. new set- ting to this great question, and Mrs, Astor has undertaken, from her exalt ed station, to determine who are worthy of being counted good enough for contact with a prince. The first thought was that the size of the house and its"equipment had something to do with the seventy- nine .and their fortunes. But the Astor mansion is a big one, one "of the largest in New York, and it has, as a contemporary pointed out, all the dishes and knives and forks and things that one desired, and that the party could have been: very much en- larged had this been wanted.

The Woodstock Sentinel-Review has this to say about the council, and every line of it has an application to the situation in Kingston: "The first duty of the people will be to select a. capable man for mayor, and then furnish him with a public: spirited and energetic council. It is highly desirable that as many men as possible, capable of representing the city as a whole, be chosen for the council board. Heretofore there has been much complaint that too many members of the council were unable to see beyond the wards they repre- sented or the committees of which they were members, "Mf the truth were known it would probably be found that much of the inefliciency chargeable to the councils of the past, was due to miserable lit- tle jealousies within the council jt s tatives of wards were too, apt to think only of their wards; members of committees. were too apt to think only of their committees. "The question, too, often, has been, how will this or that affect a particu- lar watd or a particular committee ? not how will it effect the city as a whole ? Much time and energy and even money have been sacrificed to rivalry. between committees from which no.good. outcome was possible. "What the city needs just now is a council composed of men, everyone of whom will regard himself asa Fepre=1 sentative of | the city as a whole, in whatever ward he may live and on whatever committee he may serve. This does not_mean that the smaller interests should be. ~ neelectsd, but that all questions "should he dealt with according to their relative va- ue," 3 It may be possible to get such com- mitteos while the ward system is in vogue, but it is doubMul.

Only in one place, Galt. is this plan of re presenting thy people, clected by the city, instead of by wards, unpopul- ar, and the grievance in 'Galt is the result of limiting its dldermen to so committees cannot be formed without some difficulty. Perhaps there is more desire for a suffering. idea of going into opposition, when he sees the life Borden and 'Billy Mac- lean have to lead.

In the great producing sections of the middle and central gan, the crop is placed by this au- thority somewhat less than 9,000,000 barrels, against 20,000,000 barrels one last named for two or three years. Mountain wrritory to the Pacific const has harvested a generally good crop of apples. Prices to growers in the important western counties of New York are very largely $2.50 ta £3 per barrel, with somo returns a little above and below that range. Why U. S. Hogs Are Cheap.
