Unreliable Witnesses. The soméwhnt indefinablo Manufac- turcrs and Industrial Association of Montreal have of late been forwarding a list of questions to postmasters in On- tario, as to the effect-the N. P. has had in starting new industries or enlarging those previously in‘cxistencc. As the N. l’. is the pet of the Dominion Gov- ernment, which trusts to it to secure it in office, the postmastcrs, being the Government's paid servants, are natu- ntlly expected to give favourable rc- plics. and these are to be used to retain the Government in power and the afore said association in the right to extract unjust profits from the rest of the com- munity. The adoption ofsuch a course by the association must strike the pub« lic as a piece of insane impcrtiucncc. What right hztvc they to call upon the servants of the public to justify the rub- bery that the N. P. allows them to per- pctratc with impunity? And why do they ml: postmasters, instead of the News and mayors of the several muni- cipalities '? Just because they know that the officials applied to dare not give an unfavourable answer. as to do so would incur the wrath of tho Govern- ment and probably their own dismissal. , To put such questions to the postmast- crs l5 cowardly, mean and disingenuous. lftruth were their objcct, that. was not the but quarter to find it, nor was the information got by such moans adapted to gain credence with the public. The dodge “as too palpable to deceive any but the tno~t cn‘dulou‘, while it was gave to furnish ju~t such evidence as ‘ mind the association; but the pusition oi the witnesses renders it worthless. We would seriously advise the assimia- lion in recall their series ofquestious fnnu such witnesses as the postmaster: and send them, as already hinted, to all the routes and mayors in the Do- minion, and lvt them publish, not one. but. the whole of thfl’r rcplic‘. The public will then have scum knowledge on the matter of the Trent Valley Can- in which he gives very satisfactory Gide. in" town: its construction. Every means likely to further the desired end should be resorted to, and no man should - "q â€" , - --~\r of whose independence of the Govern-, went there can be no question, be their evidence what it may. The Govern- ment ought in its own interests to repu- diate the whole affair, and rely on the information obtained by its travellinz agent, Sir S. L. Tilley, who has gone the rounds of the Dominion in quest of the information the Montreal folks are seeking. Do the latter not believe him 2’ ' Trent Valley Canal. We are pleased to be able to state that the Rev. W. Logan has received a letter from Hector Cameron, qu., M. l’., in answer to one addressed to him reasons for his absence from the sever- al meeting: called in Peterborough for devising measures for urging the scheme on the Government and keeping it be- fore the country. The letter, which is intended for publicationâ€"and we hope all the papers that have copied Mr. Logan’s letter will also copy itâ€"cou- cludes thus: “ I am glad of the op- portunity thus afforded me publicly to state that I am a firm believer in the advantages, feasibility and ultimate success of the Trent Valley Navigation Scheme, and that I have never had any faith in the practicability or possible construction of the Ontario Ship Canal by way of Toronto, the cost ofwhich (even if it could be made) is in my opinion prohibitory. I wish also to state that though I have an office in Toronto, I have no interests or associa- tions in that city to induce me for One moment to regard its business prosperi- ty with more consideration than that of any other part of Ontario. In this ca- nal matter, my duty as well as my per- sonal and public interests would neces- sarily lead me to exert all my influence most zealously to promote the success and early construction of the Trent Canal, which I know to be of the most vital importance to my whole constitu- ency, and you may rely on my doing every thing within my power to force on the attention of the Government and of the country the necessity for early and decisive action towards the con- struction of our canal and navigation system to connect the Georgian Bay with the Bay of Quinta, and to utilise that magnificent natural water highway existing in North Victoria and the neighbouring counties.” We have every reason to believe that the canal project is approaching con} summation. It has been promised that a sum shall be placed in the estimates for a “ minute location survey,” and a. committee to enquire into the matter has been asked for. In another column will be found an article from the New York Journal of Commerce pointing out the benefits of canals in general, and the farmers as well as the merchants of this locality will See the advantages of hav- ing direct communication with Mon- treut. It is the obvious duty of all the residents along the Trent Valley to‘egr press themselves cuergetica/llyflpgf‘,’ en- thusinstically i‘nlhggur gfijle canal, in be placed in any public position what- ever unless he makes our project his platform. It is now a critical time with us. In a few weeks a number of schemes will be rushed upon the attenâ€" tion of Governmgnt, and we must not be behiudhaud with ours, which is of far more importance to the country than the ephemeral speculative projects that are sure to be brought forward. m Verulam Council.

Lumbcring by Mr. Boyd, of Bobcny- geou, Messrs. Boyd 8:. Irwin, of Peter- borough, Mr. R. C. Smith, of Fcnelou Falls, Messrs. Bigelow 8; Trounce, of Port Perry, and sundry jobbers, is mak- ing good progress in Glamorgau this year. I hear of telegraph poles being in demand at 25 cents per pole, 30 feet long ; but it is not expected that such a tempting bait will catch many fish up here. I know a firm who last so son gave 20 cents for poles for which I am certain they got 75 cents; but their nig- gardly policy caused them to get only a few hundred poles. Had they given a fair price, they could have got 20,000, if they required them. If we poor un- fortunate settlers who possess such fine timber as many of us do, can only be firm enough to hold on for a year or two, railway communication, which I hear is again brightening up, is sure to bring us good prices. Mr. S. Swanton would find this a good locality for his operations when requiring large quanti- ties, as they could be got to Kinmount by following a drive oflogs for two cents per pole. Ties, I hear, are fast playing out up the limits of the Victoria Rail- way ; but. there is a good field yet to be opened in this locality, where poles and ties have yet been untouched. They are not in any way as numerous as in the VictOria Railway district; that is to say, tamarac and hemlock; but of ce- dar suitable there is quite a quantity. Few people, however, will sell their fine trees, 60 to 7 0 feet long, worth probably 81 50 each, for telegraph poles or to a tie merchant to out four ties out of; but necessity compels many to sacrifice now what would presumably be of great value to them in the future. The scrip- ture text, “ To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away," is often fulfilled in this district. -!=== A Msaar CHRISTMASâ€"th3 wish all our subscribers a merry Christmas, and the more they don't owe us the more earnest is our desire that they may spend the festive season in unalloycd enjoyment. -"""' 35.

Stand by the Canals? The canals have done uobly by the State this season. They alone have saved the State from falling far behind her rivals in the receipt of export grain fom the West. The State must now foster her canal interest with a far greater liberolity than ever. She must do this at the earliest opportunity. The competition for the vast Western trade rages all around us, and grows fiercer overy year. The only advantage of New York over Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore is in her canals. Deprive us of these water-ways and the railways terminating in thc rival cities would beat our railways any day. They have better terminal facilities. Their stock is less watered, they are more ably managed. and they have the ability and dispo- sition (one or both) to deliver grain more cheaply at tidewntcr. This year, as far as reported, the railway systems of the three cities named have deliver- ed on the seaboard a total of grain larg- er by about 49,000,000 bushels than that brought by rail to New York. Fill up the canals, and where should we be? The answer may be inferred from a glance at the figures of the declining comparative grain receipts at this port for a series of years pastâ€"reaching in 1879 as low a point as only 53 26-100- ths of tha entire receipts of the fdur compcutiug ports. The canals alone have saved us from a far more humiliating exhibition of supremacy. They have carried this year, on a rough estimate, 1,000,000 more tons of freight than in the season of 1879. They have done this by vir- tue of low tolls and good management. Tito railway opposition did all in the power of money and political influence to prevent the tolls being lowered. The railways fought at every step the reforms by which the canals were freed from swarms of parasites and sineourcs, put on an economical basis, and their man- agement centred in one executive head. The railways lobbied against every measure which was framed to save the canals from .destruction and cheapeu tolls for the people. Most fortunately for New York State and city they \Vcre beaten. The record ofthe past indi- cates the wisdom of the policy which has rescued the canals from the’toils which railway machinations were fast weaving abounhem for their ruin. The State must persevere in that sagacious policy, now that the canals have shown what they can do in return for State protection. They must be stillfurtlfigr‘ protected. Thgpgnnosed.constitutional ,umendsacnt’inust be adopted authoriz- ing the expenditure of a sufiicient sum. if required, to make extraordinary canal repairs. The fate of the canal must no longer be left dependent on the receipts for tolls. Au unscrupulous railwifi' ring may attempt agaiu,nud possibly with success next time, their during scheme of ruining the canals by under- cutting the canal rates in some season of short crops, taking away the bulk of the canal traffic, and thus subjecting their rivals to the risk of destruction or seri- ous injury in the event of a break or any other extraordinary damage, the cost of repairing which would exceed the sum received for tolls the previous year, and therefore could not be defray- ed in any way under the Contsitution, article 7, section 6. Until that section is amended as proposed the canals are at the mercy of the railways, of the ele- ments and of accidents and contingen- cies beyond human control. The only possible safeguard for the canals is a constitutional sanction for the outlay of moneyâ€"limited, say to $50,000 a year â€"whcu necessary to protect them. The railways have had their long innings of power and patronage. They have been the pets of the States. It is now time that the canals should take the first place in the solicitudc and protection of the Commonwealth and the railways relegated to their inferior station. There is no danger that the railways will not get their fair share of it at remunerativc rates. The railways are amply able to take care of their own interest. But the canals, as State institutions and trust, need special States defence, and none could be better than the one set up in the constitutional a- mendment we have so long advocated. -â€"-.‘Vew York Journal of Commerce.

Ouc boat with six men was capsized and all were drowned. The life-boat with 11 men capsized. losing provisions, water, and ours. The crew held on and rightcd her. After twenty hours exposure to cold and hunger, washed by chilling spray, the boat reached the shore. The tucn wandered about the uninhabited barren shore for eight days, all dying of hunger and ex- posure, except two, who were rescued by a couple of men going to the sen- coast. The captain was found alive, but died soon after. The two survi- vors are at likely to live long. The arm of one dead man was found eaten to the bone, it is supposed by some of his companions.

The Russian Government seems to believe that it has at last discovered the secret of the Nihilists’ orgauintiou. At least, it has allowed telegrams to be forwarded from which it appears that an acted ' accusation has been publish- ystranslins ed in St. Petersburg, with a history of the plot. As was suspected, the violent section of the Nihilists numbered very few persons, at whose head was one Gold- enberg, a Jew, who assaminated Prince Krapotkinc, the Governor of Karkoif, and when arrested first made a full cou- fessiou and then committed suicide. Two other Jews are now under trial, and so convinced is Count Mciikofi' of the Jewish origin ofthe conspiracy, that he adheres to the order of banishing the Jews from St. Pctcrsburg. in the teeth, it is stated, of rcmonstrauce from all the Continental Ambassadors. He had much better accord to the Jews, who number at least three millons in Russia, all the privileges of Rumians. The dislike of the race for the Roman- ofis, which is of such standing that it is mentioned in " Coningsby, " has be- come no important factor in Russian politics and finance, .and seems to have been intensified by the distinct Jewish friendship for Turkey. An almost. maniacal feeling of hatred for the Russ- ian Government flashes out now and then in the Jewish pupch of London. and Jews control or influence half the press and all the Bourses of the Con- tinent.

Sta: 1 notice in your issue of last week a letter from Ratcpuycr, suggesting that. a public meeting should be called to discuss the different public matters in which we are all interested. If this had been done pre- vious to every election, we would not have had so many dough-heads foisted on us in the Council and School Board as we have had in the past. Ivvould very much like to see the School Board question, so far as relates to our late treasurer, discussed in all its details. The blame seems to be all thrown on the trustees, and while icon- sider they were very much in fault, I think the Reeve and Council are nearly or equal- ly as much to blame as the School Band so far as the debentures are concerned. The by-latv legalizing these debentures was passed by the Council, and that by-law ex- pressly stated that these debentures were payable by the corporation of the village of Fenclon Falls; and, knowing this, why did they not detain enough of the money that the School Board required them to raise to form the sinking fund required, to meet these debentures and, Interest. The Reeve was a member of the School Board when this by-law was passed, and so also was the Clerk. Another point on which i would like information is the special school tax that is being raised this year. is it levied on the School Section, which com- prises a portion of Fenelon and Vcrulam townships, or on the village alone ? The school question [consider to he the most important, but the others, as mentioned by “ Ratepayer,” viz, the suit against the Vic~ toria Railway, the butcher by-law, and last, but not least, the drain, or, as it is joc- ularly called, the Trent Valley Canal, to which might be added the general deficiency of brains possessed by the Council and School Board, are worthy of notice. A strong feeling is beginning to exist to be again united to the township for municipal purposes. Our assessmentis 25 per cent. more than it ought to be, and the higher it is the more difficult it is to have the assess- menthualized by the County Council as low as other corporations that have. not been assessing at a fictitious value. And, again, whose fault is it. that we have lost nearly all our poll-tax this year ? If we have not a citizen public spirited enough to take the lead in calling a mass meeting to explain the above questions, so that we can give an intelligent vote, perhaps some outn'rler would kindly give us assistance. So furthere seems to be but one or two will- ing to come forward to guide the helm of state in our present difficulties, and I do earnestly hope a meeting will be called next Saturday night to try to bring the right men out (the older the better). and who I trust will not commit blunder after blunder as has been done since we have been incorporated.
