The Pennsylvania coal interests would be prejudiced by competition from Ontario coal mines. The coal read and mine owners of Pennsylvania control millions of ready money. They are accustomed ‘to get- ting together and agreeing to produce acertain quantity of coal, and to fix the price at which every ton of the output will be sold. The coal barons of Penn- sylvania will, if necessary, offer millions to the lucky Canadians who own the Ontario coal lands. These Canadians cannot be expected r.) resist the ad- vances, and when they surrender the Ontario coal fields will be practically a part of Pennsylvania, operated, not for the benefit of Ontario people, but for the profit of, foreign capitalists. It there be coal in the Sutlbury district, or any other part of Ontario, the Ontario Government ought to expropriatc the lands, paying the owners liberally, and lease the mines with restrictions against any limitation of the output or any arbitrary increase of price. At all events the Ontario Government should take care that no foreign syndicate has power to control the full product of Ontario to the disadvantage of the pe0ple." It will result in a great annual loss to the people of the Dominion ii the new cool fields fall into the hands of the American “barons,” who will then be. . as much masters ofthe situation as they are at present; and, even if they fail in their design, it is probable that the Canadian owners will soon fortn a com- bine and keep prices up to the highest possible notch, for human nature is the some on both sides of the lakes. Neither the natural products of the earth nor industries which are safe from compe- tition should be in the hands of private individuals. unless the State retain the power of protecting the public from ex- tortion. and it is therefore to be hoped that the Telegram’s suggestion as to the expropriation of the coal fields will be acted upon. A settler does not own the pine upon the surface of the land he buys from the Government, and why should he own the enormously valuable minerals or metals that may lie beneath it, and that. he did not bargain for. “ Parliament: can do anything, and it is only right that it should prevent a few individuals from becoming, by mere accident, multi-millionaircs at the ex- pense of the masses. Railway rates and even cab fares are to some extent regulated by law, and if the ownership of. the coal fields is not resumed by the Government, the price of the product should be kept within reasonable bounds. -_-.‘_M._.‘_.__ Undecided. A few days ago Reeve Ellis received a circular from Chief Game Warden 'l‘inslcy, of Toronto, stating that there has been a great deal of misunderstand ing and doubt about the effect of the legislation of last session amending the Ontario Game Laws, especially as it affects the settlers in the northern parts of the Province; that the settlers in tho unorganized territories are to be exempt from the recent provisions of the Act; and that, as many of the settlers in the organized portions of the Province are complaining of the hardship of being torbidden to shOot deer around their homes for their own use, local wardens are to use a wise discretion in the en- forcement of the Act, and are not to prosecute oliL-nders who can honestly plead ignorance of the law, or doubt as to its real meaning and intent. Up to the time of receiving the circular .‘lr. Ellis had sold all of the fifty-two licenses sent to him, and, in response to his application for more, he was told to 121 issue written certificates, which he did 19.23 l to the number of sixteen. 3.40 it‘ll, 50 )8 2.6“ 2.70 l The Fenelon Falls Gazette.

Mr. Stewart, 'l'ltat Robert Umphrey be what course he was to pursue, but on them. but nothing can be more certain than that the levying of a tax upon settlers for the privilege of deer hunting in their own localities will raise a storm of indignation and turn hun- dreds of friends of the Government into enemies, and making “fish of one and flesh of others ” will be nearly as bad. It is not u. matter of course that a farmer who lives in an unorganized locality is worse off than one who lives in a locality that is organized, and why should the latter have to purchase a license any more than the former. to shoot deer upon his own or his neigh- bor's land? The fact is, the decision to issue licenses was come to without due consideration, and has given rise to a great deal of dissatisfaction and ill-will. Death of Hector Cameron. Mr. Hector Cameron, M. A.. Q. C., ex-M. P., died at Cobourg from an attack of dropsy on Sunday last. He was born at Montreal on June 3rd. 1842. and was the son of Kenneth Cameron, who at one time filled the position of assistant Commissaryflen- eral. He chose the law as his profes- sion, and having unusually good natural abilities and every educational advan- tage, was called to the bar in 1854, and subsequently became a bencher of" the Law Society ofOntario. He was one ol the foremost lawyers in the l)omihion,:tnd stood so high in the estimation of the Government that he was selected to argue the question of the Boundary of Ontario before the Judicial Committee. of the Imperial Privy Council. in 1867 he ran in the Conservative inter- est for South Victoria, but was de- feated. About seven years later he hemmo M. P. for North Victoria, (his successful opponent, Mr. Maclennau, having been unseated on a protest). and represented the riding until 1887, when he was defeated by Mr. Barron. Retiring from public life, Mr. Cameron moved from Toronto to Cohnurg, and at the time of his death was President. of the Cobourg, Northumbcrhtnd and Pacific Railway now being built. In 1860 he was married to the eldest daughter of William Boswell, barrister- nt-htw, and she and several children sur- vive him. Somerville Council Proceedings. Burnt River, October 17th, 1696.

Since the new GOvernmont has got nicely to work the price of wheat and flour has gone up, and several other products of the farm command a good price. There are many other reforms and retrenchments which commend the new premier and the new (lover-nuth to every honest elector in the Dominion. When we think of civil servants doing. all that laid in their power to sustain the Tory Government. in all their dis. honesty, they took their political lives in their own hands. It is to be hoped they will learn to reverence the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier, premier of the Domini ion of Canada, and honest government. Sometimes and in some cases it is all right for early birds to not the worm, but we do not think it is all right when a person sits down on a milking Stool and commences operations, and expects to get about five quarts of milk, and‘al‘ter a good trial finds that the early bird had been there and got the worm, and only left about a pint. Others in this- sectiou have been served in the same way by people who don’t live a hundred miles from Powles's Corner. The balance of the root crop will be‘ safely housed this week.

BROKEN Stonwanksâ€"T‘he sidewalk on Francis street cast is continually being broken by the heavy loads drawn across it into the residents' yards, and the same is no doubt the case on other streets in the village. The holes thus made are not only dangerous, but cause such constant small outlays for repairs that. it isa question whether it would’ not be cheaper in the long run to lay down three or four inch, instead of two inch, plank opposite all gateways and' put in extra sleepers.
