Time was when British farmers could afford to pay big rents to the noble monopolizcrs of the soil for the privilege of cultivating it; but, in consequence of the increasing importations of foreign products, they can afi'ord to do so no longer, and the Government is asked to tax the food of the masses in order to prevent a diminution of the incomes of the few thousands of‘familics who live in luxurious idleness, and despise the classes by whose labor they are sup- ported; “That’s what’s the matter,” and nothing else. No doubt the British farmers are in a bad way, and can only be relieved by greatly reducing roots or artificially raising the prices of catables, but the latter alternative is not for a moment to he thought of, and if at;- temptcd would provoke very strong expressions of public disapproval. The Campaign Opened. Today (Friday) the Dominion Par- liament expires by efliuxion of time, and it has been announced at Ottawa Tuesday, the 16th of June, and the elections one week laterâ€"on the 23rd. What the result will be no man can certainly foretell, but it can truthfully be said that the Liberals never viewed an approaching contest with stronger assurances of victory than they feel at present. The Remedial Bill was with- drawn on the 15th, and in Quebec the Government will- claim the credit of having tried to force it. through the House. but in Ontario they will whisper to the Orangemen that they did not in- tend to pass the bill, but only pretended to be anxious to do so in order to hood- wink the Catholics. Sir Mackenzie Bowell has practically resigned the Premiership, to which ’l‘upper succeeds, and the Hamilton Spectator, a thor- oughly Conservative journal, says that if Sir Charles insists upon making the coercion of Manitoba an issue in the campaign, the Conservatives will have to take the matter into their own hands and pledge the candidates in accord- ance with the wishes of the people, as “ there is no loyalty to the party in following a. leader who leads to certain destruction.” Sir Charles hopes to divert public attention from the Gov’ crnmcnt’s misdeeds and the evils of the National Policy by going to the country on the Manitoba school question; but all reading and thinking people see through his device, which only alienates his friends without deceiving his oppoo ncnts, and is a desperate resource, but will avail him nothing. The campaign is now formally opened and in this riding of North Victoria M r. R. J. McLau_-hlin, the Liberal candi- date, is already in the field, having issued posters announcing that he will address the electors at Kinmount on \Vednesday, April 29.h, at. Swam Lake on Thursday. April 30th, and at. Silver Lake on Friday, May l'st, com. mencing each meeting at 7.30 p. m. Whether he will have two opponents or ~only one facet yet certain. It is gen- P P erally believed that Mr. Delamere, of field, but it it. is within the bounds of possibility that Sam Hughes, realizing that. the obloquy with which he has recently covered himself renders his defeat certain, may take N. V. \".'s advice and “save his deposit” by re- Minden, really intends to remain in tlc‘ tiring, and then publish a low three- columu articles explaining why he did so. Drowning Acciddnt. While Mr. Robert Martin of the fifth concession of Verulam was at the Falls last saturduy evening he received the sad news that his around son, James Stanley, ten years old last November, had been drowned in a. pond on Mr. Alexander Windrim’s farm, which is opposite his own on the other side of the line between the fourth and fifth concessions. The pond, which forms «every spring when the snow melts on the surrounding hillocks, and gradually disappears as the season advances, is this year of considerable extent, cover- ing at least an acre of ground,‘and its greatest depth, over a depression nearer one side than the other, is about ten feet. As it is located within a very few rods of the travelled road, the boys of the neighborhood have been in the habit of bathing in it on their way to and from school, and poor. little Stanley Martin, who had commenced to learn to swim last summer, was anxious to get into the water again as soon as possible. .When he went to the pond on Saturday afternoon he was accompanied by his two brothers, one less than two years older and the other a good deal younger than himself. Bruce, the elder, advised him not to go into the water, but he said he would wade as far as he could without. getting out of his depth, and would then turn around and Swim to shore. He accordingly undressed and entered the water, but had not advanced more than abopt four rods when he ous holes at the bottom of the pond, for he suddenly lost his footing and com- mcnced. to drown. His older brother thought- at. first that he was trying to swim, but a moment or two later, seeing that Stanley was in danger, he throw off his clothes and rushed into the water, at the same time shouting to the young- est boy to run home as fast as he could and tell their mother. Unfortunately. Bruce could render no assistance, and, alterincurring no small risk of losing his own life, he returned to the shore, ~dreSSed himself and hurried to the res- idence of his great uncle, Mr. William Junkin, Sr., on the adjoining farm. Mr. Junkin's house and Mr. Martin’s are each about half a mile from the pond, and when Bruce Martin, accom- panied by Mr. William Joseph Junkin, reached it, Mrs. Martin was there, in an almost frantic state of mind. Mr. Junkin immediately entered the water, feeling his. way with a shorh pole, which soon come into I contact with the body, causing it to rise, and Mr. Junkin car- ried it to shore. Deceased, who was a grandson of Mr. James Juukin, Sr., was buried in the Fenelon Falls ceme- tery on Monday afternoon. m Personals. Messrs. Robert Pearson, Wesley Manning, Moscs Galohcll and Wm.

In his confession (if he really wrote it) he says he committed no fewer than. twenty-seven murders, but it is probable that the number he has been credited with, about a dozen, is nearer the truth.

Nie, who is the presiding genius in Mr. Suudford’s mill, tells us that prepara- tions are being made to put in two additional sets of rolls, two more eleva- tors and another "bran scalper,” which. will add about 25' per cent. to the pro- ductive capacity of the mill. Fenelon Falls has two as good mills for their size as can be found in tho Dominion,. all the machinery being of the latest and most approved makes, and either of them turns out as choice brands 0L" flour as are placed upon the market.

She has been painted so often that what looksL almost. like a skin has formed on the hull, and, as it. has cracked in a good many places, it will be necessary to pool: or scrape a good deal of it off, which is a very tedious operation.

Just at that moment the young man stretched out his left hand with the intentiOn ot straightening the block and the descending axe almost com ‘- pletcly covered the fore finger and slight- ly wounded the sceond. He was im~ mediater driven to Dr. Wilson’s office at the Falls, where the finger was scwcd' on and dressed, in the hope and expec- tation that it will unite with the stump and be as serviceable as ever.

BAD Newsâ€"On Tuesday evening Mr. James Patterson of Vcrulnm rc- ccived a telegram announcing the death of his son Thomas's wife, Margaret; Ann, fourth daughter of Mr. John Junkin, Sr., of the same township. When the young couple were married, about 16 years ago, they mOved to a farm about four miles from 'l‘ilbury Centre, in the County of Kent, where they have done exceedingly well. Mrs. Patterson, who was in her 39th year, had' seven children. six of whom am living, the youngest being a baby born about a month ago. Her brother, Mr. John Junkin, Jr., left the Falls by Wednesday morning’s train, in the hope of being in time to take a last. look at his sister and attend her funeral.
