. , j I? AT the meeting,r of the license com- missioners for West Victoria, held on Saturday last; a petition, signed by twenty citizens, was presented, asking that all hotel bars be closed at 9 o’clock eachlawtul evening. At present 11 o’clock is the hour for closing. The signers of the petition are all worthy citizens and all residents of Lindsay, but they do not represent public opinion any more than did the three tailors of Tooley street represent the people of England. It is ack- nowledged on all hands that the liquor law is as well administered in Lindsay as in any other place in the province and ‘ complaints on that score have been few and far between since the appointment of the present inspector. To compel the hotels to close their bars at 9 o’clock wouldbetoo radical a change, in the opinion of many. But if a change ' is to be made we would suggestas a._ T HE executive of the Patrons of In- dustry have agreed upon the following as the future platform of the organiza- tion. In local Assembly politics, they will demandâ€"(l) “The election of all salaried provincial officers. (2) The modification of the system of taxation, so as to tax the holder of mortgages on land and thereby relieve the farmers of the amount he now pays on land ; mortgaged.” And then in the realm ‘ of Dominion politics, they will demand â€"“Tariff for revenue purposes only : abolition of the Canadian Senate ; the retention of land for settlers, and the abolition of bonuses to railways in the shape of land or money grants.” THE home rule bill passed the second reading, but already, it is stated that over 10,000 amendments have been handed in. Thl-re appears to be no doubt whatever that the bill will be come law, as, on a. straight vote, the supporters of the measureluave a major- ity of over forty votes. PORTER” Do you live Near Lindsay ?

On Saturday night Mr. Archibald Muir, local manager of the Bell Telephone exchange died very suddenly of heart disease, at the residence of Dr. Burrows. aged 27 years.

Rev. Father Rudkins was i greatly beloved by his many parishioners l for his kindness, sympathy and devotion to their interests, and among his brother clergy he was held in high esteem for his l piety and zeal for every interest, temporal i and spiritual of the church in whose l service his life was literally spent. As a l citizen he was held in general high respect, I A both for his office and his kindly personal qualities. The superintendency of the 5 separate schools, which he held for sev- : eral years, Was another outlet for the rev. l. ,c __â€"â€"-nv 3?, rs of the parish, not only with his own vc people but with protestants as well. He 1d did much to advance the best interests of his parishioners and always had a kindly word for everybody and his untimely death will be learned of with unfeigned regret by all classes of the community. The Daily Examiner. Peterboro, of Sat- urday, contains the following obituary notice :-“ This afternoon at St. J oseph’s Hospital, Rev. Patrick Joseph Rudkins, chancellor of the diocese of Peterboro and pastor of St. Peter’s Cathedral, pass- ed peacefully away, death resulting from the disease from which he has been suffer- ing; for several years. A few days ago his condition became 8o serious that he entered St. Joseph’s Hospital, where death closed his earthly career. The late lamented priest was a native of Peterboro, the youngest son of the late Patrick Rudkins, born March 25th in the year 1862. He received his primary education in the local separate school, in which, in after years. he performed for some time the duties of teacher. He aISo attended the institute for some time, and Mr. Lynch’s private school for classics. i] He entered St. Miachael‘s College. Tor- onto, in 1880, and took the Course inl classics and metaphysics. Subsequently 'l' ihe entered the (lrand Seminary, Mon- l treal, where he Completed his theological l ( lstudies with distinction, and in the fall } lOf 1687 he was ordained a priest by the {late venerable Archbishop Lynch. and I was stationed at the cathedral as assistant lpriest.
