_THE Hon. Mr. Bowell completed a few days ago a quarter of a. century of of public life, and the event has called attention to the fact that out of the 182 members of the Commons returned at the first general election after confeder_ ation, only four, besides the minister of_ I}: his formal letter accepting the ncmination for President, Mr. Cleveâ€" land puts it on record that “tariff reform” is his purpose, and that the party he leads “wages no exterminating war” against any American interests, and adds :â€"“ ‘(e believe a readjust- ment can be accomplished in accordg .ance with the principles we profess, without disaster or demolition. We believe the advantages of freer raw material should be accorded to our manufacturers, and we contemplate a fairand careful distribution of necessary taritl burdens rather than the precipa- tion of free trade.” From this it is clear Mr. Cleveland does not wish it to be understood that he favors free trade, nor that he is a protectionist. There is therefore not to be a. straight fight be- tween free trade and protection, as was anticipated when the Democratic plat- form was adopted at the late conven- ‘ tion, but rather a fight between high A protection and a “readjustment” of the 1 present tarifl'. SCHOOL statistics, gathered from the Dominion Year Book, in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, are as follows :â€" Manitoba has 627 schools, 640 teachers, and, and 23,256 pupils. Ontario reports 5,623 public schools, 8,957 teachers, and 500,815 pupils, with an, average attendance of 252,943. Of Roman Catholic Separate schools there are 243 with 32,790 pupils and an average attendance of 18,153. There are also 9 separate Protestant schools, with 11 teachers and 526 pupils. Quebec has 939 Protestant schools, the pupils num‘reriug 28.657 and the teachers 1,173. The Roman Catholic schools number 3,779, having 146,535 pupils and 7,232 teachers. The proâ€" ‘ portion of Protestant schools in Quebec , shows some decrease since 1888. Two vacancnes in the Senate were filled last week by appointments which have met With general approval. Mr. Desjardins of Quebec fills the vacancy by the promotion of the Hon. Mr. Lacoste to the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Queen’s Bench of that prov-l ince, whilst Dr. John Ferguson of W'el- land succeeds the late Mr. Plumb. Both of the new senators aremen of marked ability, and have had extensive experi- ence in pul‘lic life. Editorial Notes. THE county of Northumberland in New Brunswick has refused to repeal the boott Act by a considerable major- ity. It is not claimed by the suppor- ters of the Act that it prevents all liquor drinking and selling, but that it diminishes liquor drinking and selling too. large extent. The fact that the liquor manufacturer and seller every where Spends large sums in the effort to defeat the Act is the best proof that it operates in the way its suppor- ters Claim.

At the same time, the traffic receipts of Canada’s two great railways are also larger than ever before, while the deposits of the public in the Canadian banks show an enormous increase.” This Mr. Farrar attributes to the good harvest of 1891, as he refers to the dullness of the lumber trade, and mentions the latter as being one of Canada’s most important sources of revenue. In referring to the future prospects of the Bank of British North '_ America, he said: “Banking prospects are not bright in Canada, and they are i not bright in any part of the world; but still I believe that Canada as a whole :s more prosperous to-ciay than she has ever been. The possibilities of the North W'est and of British Columbia have taken a firm hold of the mind of '8 apace. Every acre that is broken in Manitoba, and every mine that is opened up or timber limit explored in British Columbia is not only additional wealth for those Provinces, but addi- ltional need for the accumulated capital of the older provinces and additional custom for their factories and their merchants.

The oldest member of the Commons is Mr. Bourassa of St. Johns, who is in his 80th year, and has repre- sented his county continuously since 1854, a period of nearly forty years. It is said that during this long period he has never made a speech in parliament although a useful and active member.

Miss O’Dell, Formerly otOrillia, Found Dead from :1 Bullet Wound. WINNIricm ()ct. 2.â€"Miss Olive ()‘Dell was found dead early this morning in the kitchen of her parents’ reSIdence here with n. bullet hole through her breast and her brother’s gun lying near by. The circum- stances surrounding the young wonmn’s death are most mysterious. She has had no troubles so far as known and retired last night at the usual hour and apparent- ly in good spirits. When found she was partially dressed. Most people incline to the theory of suicide, and some think it a case of murder, and their contention is sumnrted by the positive statement of a lady neighbor. who declares that about 3 o’clock in the morning she heard a man ‘running out of O’Dell’s residence and ‘down street. Strangely neither this lady nor the parents sleeping in the house heard the report of the gun. Her brother, however, is positive that his gun was not loaded when he left it in the kitchen last night.

The council defended on the ground that their Collector, being a public officer over whom they had no Controlw they were not liable. The case came on' for trial at last fall sittings of the county Court at Lindsay, when a verdict was given that the buggy was Mrs. McDougall’s property and was in her possession when seiZed, and her damages were assessed at 'S"0. From this verdict the council appealed to the county judge sittingr in term, who confirmed the verdict and directed judgment to be entered For Mrs. McDougall. From the county judge’s decision the Council again appealed to the ’ court of appeal sitting at Toronto, where, after a full argument upon the liability of municipal councils for the acts of their collectors, the Court unanimously decided that in this instance and under the fore- going facts, the council of the village of Fenelon Fells had adopted and ratified the act of their collector and were responsible for the damages found by the jury against 1 them and dismissed the council’s appeal I with costs. Messrs. Moore , Jacksmi for ‘ Mrs. McDougall. Mr. C. II. Hopkins for the Council. * A case of considerable importance has this week been decided in the court of appeal in regard to the liability of muni- cipal councils for the wrongful acts of their collectors. In the fall of 189.0 the council of the village of Fenelon Falls regularly appointed their collector and gave him the roll for the collection of their McDougall the roll the name of Hugh taxes. On appeared as being liable for certain taxes due on a store in the village. Mr. McDougall was duly notified of these taxes by the collector but failed to pay the same. The council, in order to assist the collector. extended on several occasions the time for him to make his returns, beyond the date fixed by statute. About the end of May 1891 the collector, at the instance of William McArthur (the owner of the lands on which the taxes were due) seized a buggy in which Mrs. McDougall. the plaintiff was being driven down the main street by her husband. The collec- tor. however, was not certain that the buggy belonged to Mr. McDougall and before acting on his seizure he requested Mr. McArthur (who was then reeve of the village) to indemnify him against any loss that he might sustain should the buggy turn out to be wrongfully seized. This, Mr. McArthur did by word of mouth to the collector. At the time the collector seized. McDougall refused to allow the collector to take possession of the buggy, but drove otl' With his wife. Afterwards the collector went and took possession and offered it for sale. Mrs. McDougall at. once notified him that the buggy was her property. On this becoming known, several members of the council went to collector and advised him not to sell until he got a proper bond from Mr. McArthur as security against any loss in the matter. A bond was then drawn Up by the clerk of the Council by which Mr. McArthur indemnified both the Council and collector against loss by the sale of the buggy. On receiving this bond the collector sold, and paid over the money to the treasurer of the village. Mrs. Mchugall then made Unless Canadian farmers can raise sheep to sell at lower prices than are at present ruling, the export trade in live sheep will have to cease, as exporters cannot pay prices demanded on this side and ship to England at a profit, owing to the immense quantities of sheep in the carcass that are being shipped frmn New Zealand, Austra- lia. and the Argentine Republic. During the past ye'ir there were shipped from New Zealand and the Argentine Republic no less than 2,500,000, carcasses (, f sheep which arrived in England in refrigerators in splendid condition and at very low prices, which tend to depress the price uf fresh killed mutton. I‘LL uutiook is therefore rather glouxny for the shipment of live sheep from Canada unless farmers can afl'ord to accept prices that will admit of shippers competing with the Austral- asian and South American trade.~Mont- real Irade Bulletin.

The American Legation in London some years ago wrote the State Department at Washington in regard to the scheme! which was then first broached, and warned everybody concerned that any money devoted to the prosecution of the claims would be thrown away. Jeneau never signed a will, and all the property passed into the. hands of his lawful heirs, yet from time to time ever since efforts have been made by real and supposed descendants to dispossess the actual owners of the estate. The case has been repeatedly before the courts, but the decision has been against the claimants. Vice- Chancellor Malins has rendered a de-. cision against the latest claimaint,‘ \Villis, in the course of which he says : “If such a claim could be allowed after all these years nobody would be safe in the possession of their property. ‘1’“... 1- ‘ ‘â€" ', THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1892' OUR LEADERS Radzkmz‘ flame, flrz‘ Commas, HEADQUARTERS FOR Leading Lines 9f e111 Kinds GO T0 E.
