Further it is only fair to say that whether the Globe’s political views are correct or not, they are stated and defended with s candor and fairness that are becoming too rare in Canadian politics. CIIAPLAIN MILBURN of the United States senate offered hearty thanks to God for the American success in slaughtering Spaniards at Manila bay. That sounds very like Mahomet after some bloody deed. It is about; time to quit killing in the name of God. A LARGE CROWD AND A MOST ENJOY. ABLE OUTING. The second annual excursion under the auspices of the East and West Victoria Farmers’ Institute to the Ontario Agri- cultural Colleg, Guelph, took place on Thursday. June 23rd. The energetic committee, coueiating of the president and secretary of each institute, spared no FARMERS’ EXCURSION TO GUELPH pains and expense in advertising it and bringing it: under the notice of almost 'every family in Victoria county. ...r ..<. .Cr...cr CZFD. 53.: Fri. c.:rr. v r.

This deal which has been so successfully put through; is another evidence of the POWER OF CASH in the. hands of people who have the courage, the ability and the facilities for handling large amounts of merchandise. These are conditions full of meaning to every buyer, and gives the syndicate of stores surpassing supremacy in the world of buying. It brings the largest manufacturers here to convert their stock into Cash, instead of seeking relief where none can be found. Purchased from the wealthy, high-grade Manufacturers, Messrs. Doull Gibson of Montreal, the recognized leading makers of Finest Clothing in Canada. The owners of this magnificent collection of fine Tailor-fitting Suits sold out to our syndicate absolutely regardless of the original cost of manufacture, by our agreeing to take the whole lot of Thirty-One Hundred Suits. Of this mammoth purchase Lindsay gets 947 SUITS. The balance goes to Gough Bros’. two Monster Toronto Clothing Stores. Nothing that has been done along the line of Remarkable Clothing Transactions for many a day will create anything like the surprise we have in store for the people of Lindsay. In the whole round of our ex- perience we have never known of such EXTRAORDINARY CLOTHING VALUES as those we ofl'er you to-day. This deal consists of . . . 3,100 new; Fine Suits the strong and weaker varieties. A few illustrations may not be amiss. By means of the experimental plots Mr. Zavitz showed the difierence between sowing large healthy peas and smaller ones. An equal number of seeds of the largest peas and of very much smaller ones out of the same bin had been sown. The large ones were longer strawed, healthier and better peas in every respect. In every case of split or weavil-eaten peas and sprouted wheat the plots were grown up with weeds and scarcely any grain was seen. It illustrates how care- ful farmers should be and sow the best. The difi'erence between the stronger and weaker varieties of straw was also plain, a storm having passed over some two weeks before. The cattle. pigs, sheep and horses were all looking in excellent condition. A new cement silo is also in course of erection, at which four men were working and putting up 14 inches daily. Now. whlle no mention has been made of corn, potatoes, mengolds, osmts, etc., and little of the six diflerent breeds of pigs, eight of sheep and six of farm cattle. and many other thlngs. it must not be supposed there were not say to see. There were and all are in s thrifty condi- tion. The fields of grsin too are beautiful and speak volumes for Mr. Rmule, who is farm superintendent. One other point may be mentioned, which is the almost entire absence offences. Pres. Mills in speaking of Mr. Rennie says that without doubt he ls one of the heel; farmers in Ontsrio. The excursion returned from Guelph st 7 p.111. and juddng from pleeant feces and require :11 pad :9 enjoyeble trip.

We saw the separ- ator working, and Miss Rose, who it will be remembered was one of the stafl' of speakers at Farmers’ Institutes last De- cember. work, print and wrap a small churning of butter. explaining at the same time how butter should be handled. The milking machine is not in use this summer as it causes a taint of rubber on the butter. The dairy cows are all in nice shape and represent some five or six difi'erent breeds. The stables are fault- lessly clean, and those farmers who say that stables cannot be kept so should take a trip there and see for themselves. All the buildings are clean, bright and cheery. The cheese curing room is ventilated and enoled on the plan suggested by Mr. E. D. 'l‘ilsou of Tilsonburg, and Prof. Dean states that the temperature has no: yet risen above 56'.

Less than one hundred persons respond- ed to the invitation to spend a pleasant diy at J ackson's Point so kindly extended by the Grand Trunk employees. While this was somewhat discouraging to the committee, it did not in any way retard the enjoyment cf those who were present. The mp was msde in a trifle over three hours, and every one was happy when they reached the point and beheld the beautiful scenery of this natural summer resort," it is safe to say that a more plea- sant spot could not have been selected fura summer holiday. Dinner was the first consideration. and while those fortun- ate ones who had baskets sought out the sheltered tables and arranged their choic- est viands thereon in anticipation ofa pleasant picnic spreadâ€"their less fortun- ate neighbors sat patiently waiting for the tinkling of mine host McDonald’s dinner bell. But everything must come to an end. and so with the appetizing dinner’s at Jackson's Point. The com- mittee then got together and arranged for the program, which was carried out without a single hitch, and afforded much enjoyment to the onlookers. Messrs. J . A. Anderson and Geo. Lytle ofliciated as judges and ably assisted the com- : mittee. At the conclusion of the lengthy lprogram everybody made their way to wharf, where captain Alex McDonald was in readiness with ~the staunch steamer Enterprise, and a trip on the beautiful . waters of Lake Simcoe was in order.

The war is on in earnest. A deadly Spanish fire. in which over 100 Americans went down. has given some idea of the resistance the Invaders are to meet. As stated last week the American army, under General Shatter. reached Santiago in safety, and immediately landed at a point only ten miles away. The warships covered this operation and it was effected withOnt opposition from the Spaniards. The only loss was two men by drowning from a capsized boat and about 50 animals while putting them through the surf. Once on land the army began to move on Santiago. On Friday s body of 1.000 troops, known as Roosevelt’s rough riders, were ordered to march. and in a short time fell into I Spanish ambush. Having dismounted within eight miles of Santiago they heard the Spaniards felling trees s short distance in front of them. They were ordered to the attack, but in a few moments s. withering fire of rifle bullets came from the high grass and shrubs with which the country is covered. The Span- iards, 2,000 strong. had led them into a trap. and when it was over 100 Americans had been shot. Twenty-two were dead. More than 40 Cubans were killed. Of the 80 wounded Americans several will die. A correspondent of the New York Journsl was shot and it is feared he will die. The Spaniards retreated before the} viz-tons te'npunse from the Ameilgt; troops. It is believed the the dance "3 We too welsh-91.!- Bowie. 2 Mrs. Jobbitt. 3. Mn C.ozier. Fat man 's raceâ€"1 J.
