It is not a local question, but yet a question . of what the Hydro-Eleetric Commission means by desiring a monopoly of the power and light business with certain municipali- ties. Take Hamilton for instance. That city being the headquatiers of the Cataract Power company}a local interest, con {ract was suggested for five years and the council of last year authorized it.

THE BOYS AS DECOYS, © One "hopes: that the explanation handed out by the Toronto World, in defence of the government and its li- cense department, is not official. It will be remembered that a special in- spector went to Madoc, and secured a youth as a compsuion and means of inviting violations of the law. The vouth got the liquor, when he asked for it, and the presumption is that he drank some of it. It was this experience that led to the expressed indignation of Judge Fraleck, for for which hé had occasion to cross letters with the attorney-general. Now, according to the World, the parents of the young man (only sev- enteen), complained to the provincial secretary's department that he was being supplied with liquor by the licensed hotel keepers and was drink- ing to excess, and the inspector was sent to Madoc to investigate. With the parents' consent the lad is said" to have accompanied the in- spector on his rounds, and ordered the liquor, and both the boy and his par- ents are alleged to be "well satisfied with the results.' The explanation is given for what it is worth. The neces- sities of the hour may suggest certain expedients to the special agents of the license department. No circumstances can justify, how- aver, the employment or use of minors as agents, aids or decoys in securing evidence against license holders.

In rendering judgment, the police magistrate took into consideration not only the youth] of the offender, but also the rights of the general public to the water- ways of the land, and found him guil- ty of negligence, and that such ne- glect a risk to human life. I'he penalty for such offence provided by the statute $50 or six months in jail, with or without hard labor, but the magistrate allowed the defendant to go on suspended sentence, with a warning; ' The home of Mr. and Mrs. John Fodey, of Warburton, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, on Monday, when their only daughter, Alice Cecilia Fodey, was united 'in marriage to Robert M.

A second edition of the interesting little book, "Recollections Of the Was Of 1812," by Dr. William Dunlop, has lieen issued by the Historical Publish ing company, of Toronto. A biogra phical sketch of the author, written, hy Dr. A. H. U. Colquhoun, declares that, though numerous official docu- ments throw the elear light of histori- cal fact upon the war, there exists no account that pictures the campaign with the freshness and vigor of Dr. Dunlop's sketch. Jo relates with un common spirit the desperate circum- stances under which a mere handful of French-Canadian and Loyalist colo nists emcrged from their primitive vil- lages and log cabins and with Spartan hardihood drove back the invade again and again and captured large areas of his territory. For a time Dr. Dunlop was principal medical officer with the British forces defending Lower Canada, amoung hie services being the care of the wounded at the battle 'of Chrysler's Farm, He also saw service on the Niagara fron- ter. Incidental comparisons are drawn between British regulars, De Watteville's foreign recaits and Cana dian militia, in respect to camp habits, wooderaft and gastronomic lore.
