ROBSON, DEALER ' IN ‘ IRON and. COAL, Fenelon Falls. The Feltelon Falls Gazette. Friday. March. 8th, 1895. North and South Victoria. On Saturday last the North Victoria Patrons met at Glenat'm and nominated Mr. Alexander McLeod of Mariposa as their candidate, and if Mr. J. H. Del- amcre, who is still in the field, be neith- er bullied nor bribed into retirement by Sam. Hughes, whose friends afl’ect to make light of his (Mr. Delumcte's) can- didature, and Mr. McLeod accept the Patron nomination, there will be no few- er than four candidates in this riding. The South Victoria Liberal convention in Lindsay on Saturday resulted in a deadlock between the supporters of Mr. Geo. Mel-lugh and Mr. Thos. Stewart, and both parties are to hold conventions in Lindsay tomorrow, when, as there is no time to lose, the Liberal and Con- servatives candidates will probably be chosen. Mr. Laurier to Visitliiridsay. We are much pleased to be able to announce, on the authority of the Globe, that the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier is- to be in Lindsay on Monday, the 25th inst., and it is almost a waste of words- to say that an immense crowd will go to hear him. The Liberal leader has always drawn very large audiences; but the fact that, on his present tour, every building in which he has spoken has been filled to its utmost capacity, and in some instances hundreds of persons have vainly sought admission, shows that as La Maude, an independent Con- servative Montreal paper, says :' “Public opinion has evidently turned to Mr. Lauricr‘s side of politics.” The Mon- treal Slur (Couservati've) commenting upon the monster meetings in that city 'and Toronto, said ; “ It was not always thus. Liberal leaders‘ have talked be- fore now to empty benches in the centres of population, and it was only when the Conservative Ministers were_billed to appear that crowds turned out and fought for admission.” Mr. Lnuricr's mission is not to delight his followers but to cenvert his opponents, and as it is extremely probable that a great many who go to heur'him will be unable to obtain admission; it appears to us that it is the duty of Liberalsâ€"especially of those who have already had the. pleasure of listening to himâ€"to give place to the Conservatives with uneasy political consciences, many of whom are already more than half persuaded to vote for the Liberal candidates at the approach’ ing elections. Election Meetings. Determined to take time by the fore- lock. and not knowing at what moment the date of the election may he an- nounced, Mr. ll. J. McLaughlin. the Liberal candidate in North Victoria, has commenced his canvass and will hold meetings as follows, commencing each meeting at 7 30 p. m. Norland, Monday, March llth. Mindeu, Tuesday, March 12th. Maple Lake, Wednesdav, ‘larch 13th. Bosknng, Thursday, March 14th. Dorset, Friday. March 15th. In another column will be found Mr. McLaughlin's address. which will be scattered broadcast through the ridinn' pronounced Patron to show in what par- ticular it. does nor meet his news. m l and we think it will puzzle the mostl l l Exemptions. We clip the following. from the Peter’- borough Timesrof Monday last :â€" Wc know what the Municipal Wat-15" says about fences; but the fences aro‘ here, and are as uccemary to protect gardens from dogs as front cows. There “The proposal to offer the Howry me within the limits ot‘tlic corporation firm substantial tnduccment to locate to over a. hundred cows and heifers a,“ Peterborough is being favorably entcr- will cost the. owners at least five dollars taiued. The Times is authorized by the firm to state that if they receive a year each more to keep if excluded} even for twelve hours out of the twenty- sufiicient encouragement there isnstrong four. from [he grass that but pm. mom probability of their erecting large mills here. Our idea is that the old Ludpate mill site on the shore of the Little Lake be offered the firm free, together with would go to waste on the common ; and yet, if We are not mistaken, the chief malcontent at the exemption of the' llowry firm from municipal taxation is exemption from taxas for a number of the prime move! in the threatened at- years. The property need not be pur- tempt to inflict an annual loss of, say, chased, as the firm intend to operate $500 on only a portion of the commu- the mills until the limits are exhausted, a matter of-15 or 1-8 years. The village willcheeriully exempt the works from taxation, so that the town would only nity. Cows are not the only true com- moners to which it is possible to raise objections, and we feel perfectly sure that we could within an hour obtain‘ have to secure the property, which could numerous signatures to a petition to tha' no~doubt be done for a very moderate yearly rental.” From the moment that the name of critics mm, talking at large; council to pass a byâ€"law imposing a taxi upon bachelors and prohibiting liypcr-' Has the- the Howry firm was first heard in Fcn- uatimml policy made vou rich? clon Fulls,.and it became known that they were negotiating for the property they are now utilizing, the conflicting: reports as to their intentions gave rise to a constant succession of hopes and tears; and when at last it became a cer- tainty that they and the executors of the Smith estate had struck a bargain, ,and that the ” Yankees" were really coming: to the village, the most intense satisfaction prevailed, and hopes th great benefits would result: from their presence wcve' indulged in and freely expressed. That. these hopes would be realized was evident even before the red mill was in operation; but, while it was doubtful whether the firm would come here or not, and while l’etcrborough is doing its best to secure them, our council ofi'cred exemption from all taxes except for school purposes. we some little inducement to them to locate here. They came and the promise of partial exemption of course had to be kept, but it. seems as if we were cher to hear the last of' it from a few of our villagers who thought fit to adopt it as a pet grievance, and into whose conversation it obtrudes itself so persistently that we think they must experimth Considerable difficulty in keeping it out of their Messrs. Howry & Sons have limits in the county of Peterborongh as well as in the county of Victoria,.and it prayers. . appears that they have not yet decided whether to bring the timber cut on both limits to- Feuelou Falls or to build a mill in or near the town of P'etcrboro. Their decision will of cbursc depend entirely upon pecuniary considerations, and we publish- the above paragraph to show thatâ€"notwithstanding what has repeatedly been asserted exemption from taxation is-not a matter to which the firm are indifiercnt, and that the town ’of Peterborough is not so nearly ruined by granting bonuses and: exemp- tions that; she has pcnit‘ently resolved never to. do so again. The March of Improvement. A year or so ago electric lights were introduced into h‘enelon Falls, and now Councillor Fitzgeraldâ€"backed up, he alleges, by a considerable number of his constituentsâ€"is about to take another step cityward by introducing,r a bylaw to “regulate the running at large of cattle, geese and other animals.” The - proposed by-lnw has already been the subject of a good deal of comment, and if, as is alleged, the intention is to come pel the owner of even the best. behaved cow in the village to keep her shut up day and nighLall winter, and from 7 p. at. until 7 a. in. during the summer, the by-law will be so unpopular that the attempt to enforce it; will raise a rebel- lion, ns :1 similar attempt did not. lon5_.r ago in Huntsville, where the councillors were almost mobbed for wishing to march in advance of public opinion. The fact is, there are in the village a few breechy or predatory cows that ought to be imprisoned or transported, and the persons who suffer lrom their depredations, instead of taking steps to prevent them in future,â€"which, of course, would offend the owners of the unruly animuls,â€"-seek to protect them selves by inflicting annoyance and loss upon the owners of all the numerous harmless and well-behaved cows in the community. Dogs are licensed and run at large throughout the whole twenty- four hours, and if, as it. occasionally happens, one prove dangerous or a nuisance the owner is straightway noti- fied to do away with him; but nobody would think of moving to have all the others chained up, although dogs are the most disguSLing anrl troublesome, as well as the least useful, of all animals that run loose in villages. We have nothing; to say against shutting cows up during the winter six months. except Village Council Proceedings. Funelon Falls, .March 4th, 1895.~ Regular meeting of council.

Powles’s Corners. (CorreSpondmtcc of the Gazette-) There will be three candidates lor' North Victoria, as, at. the Patron meet-- ,ing at Glcnarm on the 2nd, it was de- cided to put a man in the field for the Waterloo that cannot be far off. There- never was a time in the past when the‘ agriculturists had justice done to them by either of the two parties. There is a law on the statute books allowina a doctor to charge fearful prices for his‘ services, but there is no law to allow a' farmer to put a paying price upon a: bushel of wheat. When a farmer taken. a load of grain to market he has to ac« cept whatever is ofi‘t-rcd; but. when he- uocs to a store to make purchases, he has to pay whatever price the store- kccper puts on his goods: so the “ hay- sccd‘” has no say in. the matter. But, they have votes, though a good many' make. but a poor used them. Every farmer in this Country should be a Pit- tron. and not until then-will they be in a position to demand justice and equality. Mr. John Barriball, of the township- of Mariposa, stopped over' night with friends here on his way to the township» of Monmouth, where he has located a farm of 150 acres, and where there is still room for more settlers. Mr. John Ilewie is busy moving his farm stock and implements and house- hold eliccts to a farm near Gleuarm that he has leased for a short term.. 311'.
