It did not occur, as the press reports at first indicated, at London and Strat ford. The facts are presented by the Stratford Beacon thus : " "Messrs Farrow & Grioun, the pro- mistors of the hotel in Stratford the men stayed, and against which they secured a convietion, say that they got the liquor by pleading illness. . The same story is told by the hotel-keepers of Sebringville who were fined Mr. Hanna should have these charges investigated and if proved well found. wd the detectives should be dismissed. § The public dempail an #nforcement of the law, but not by lying. Such meth- odd ave as injurious to the morals of 'the community as are infractions of the license law." The wonder is that the evidence of men who act like this should be re i evived, The defence was not as spir- {ited as it might have been, Scandal In Manitoba. The Manitoba legislature has been opened, and ere the members sat fair ly in their seats a scandal was ex: posed. During the session the Roblin gov- ernment sold at a private sale, . and to a minor official in its service, to the janitor of the old eourt house, 6,500 acres of swamp land in township 17, for $2.40 per acre. The land was covered with some of the best timber «poplar. spruce, balsam, birch, tam- arae, ook and elm. The whole was re-sold subsequently to the Anglia Land and Lumber company, less 400 acres, for $200,000, - The government had reports from surveyors respeoting the land so that Jit knew what it was doing 'when it | disposed of the estate. The purchaser had not the money to buy the land and timber. He is a handy man to have around, like some of the elerks in the employment of the New York insurance companies in whose names transactions to the ex tent of thousands of dollars were car vied on, Some one's man Friday, doing the work he is asked to-do. Who is the beneficiary by this scandalous deal ? Sentiment In Politcs. A. KE. Kemp, MP. of Toronto, likes to hear himself talking snd * the more he talks the loss he says," at least of words that are mprossive. At a meeting in Toronto, at which (ol. Denison also spoke, and at which the 'defeat of the imperial con servatives was discussed, Mr. Kemp pointed out thatt Canada could pet along without the preference whith seemed to be imperiled, The object of it, in his opinion, was to "bring the empire closer together" and strengthen its bonds, A sort of sentimental arrangement ! So it would appear from the remarks of Mr. Kemp. Was that the aim originally ? What about the quid pro quo on which dear Sir Charles Tup per used to dilate so eloquently ? Was not Mr. what annoyed at Kemp's pay some the preference olive: of by the Canadian government, and did not its leaders demand a business arrangement hy for which tf + wonkd he no preference but a general exchange of trade on purely commercial lines ¥ Building the @npire and drawing its members together! This is a new ide so far as Nr. Kemp md his political friends are concerned. They were not guile so sentimental a while ago, 0 Sensitive To Some Natters. The people wore wamed hy Me.

The Whitney party, when in opposi- tion, tired themselves and the people as they talked on the school book question, "A practical revolution is needed in the department of eduea- tion," said Mr. Whitney at Charles ton, in September, 1901, "and unless am very much mistaken the appoint- ment of a superintendent of education will become uhsolutely necessary." This sally, uttersd in apparent sin-_ cerity, preceded a discussion of the cost of school books, and it is re markahle only because the sentiment or suggestion has been completely for- gotten. v A superintendent the dangers that of education the fice of minister is filled by a wooden man, by Dr. Pyne, who is being .un- mercifully eriticized because of his unfitness, his indifference, his deadness.

Ross had contemplated education in a |! comprehearisive way --the public school, |! tem which was as complete as apy- thing like it that the world possess Mr. Whitney figured that about 93 or better "edwpntion that the public schools affordids and he was goingsto delay, that this thing was ended. 4 "There it not," said Mr. Whitney, in Toronto, in September, "1901, in the "a pupil public' school who does not have to fritter away a certain amount of his time in subjects an advanta geous knowledge of which must be got in some higher institution than the public school, while this poor child can never get there" to his own opinion, working and looking for "a radical vevolution."" Mr, Ross' com- tinuation meant to supply Mr. Whitney was, according classes were, he thought, the want which he discussed, but he took no stock in them. In 1805 Mr. Whitney moved in the legislature for publie school a remodelling of the system, and he moved also that it should be widened so as 'to afford to the children of the agri Wl & poprilat creased oppor tunity of obtaining higher education in the public schools." In 1808 Mr repeated Whitney, in essence, this motion, but he added a demand for the advisory or consul tative committee, and for public schasl books, Ever cheaper and always Mr. WH» seemed to be in a hurry about the in: troduction of these reforms.

MILLIONS OF HERRINGS. Enormous Catch by East Coast Fishing Fleets. The east coast of England herring fishing is almost completed, At Yar: month and Lowstoft the total land ings have heen 67,000 lasts, or some 284,400,000 fish, Yarmonth's catch is 10,000 lasts ahead of that of her neighbor. . The late Frank Buckland made an interesting calculation of mous value of the nopulation, based on Dr. Lethby's chemical analysis of the fish. Com pared with beef, the herring was found to contain 419 grains more of carbon but thirty-two grains less of nitros gen, so that while the herring is infer jor to beef as a heat producer, it is much richer as a flesh former. J Taking Buckland's method of reck oning--three fresh herrings to one pound and eight pounds to the stone, and an average bullock at sixty such stones--the Yarmonth and Lowestoft catch equals a herd of bullocks num bering over 600,000, This enormous catch is taken in the short period of some three month. The combined catch of Yarmouth and Lowestoft, if put into railway trucks, would require no fewer than 16,549 trucks, and the weight would be equal to 130,524 tons. As to the value of the catch, it is a dificult matter to form an estimate. Taking the average price at £8 a last, i would realize a sum of £336,000, the enor herring to the -------- Packer's tar soap ix sold son's Red Cross drug store.
