In last week’s issue of the Orange Sen- tinel there was an editorial of such emin- ent sensiblencn that it: deserves to be re- produced in every paper of the province. It. is as follows : It- would be a. good thing for Ontario if a policy of reform and progress could be carried out: by the united tffcrb of both political part1“ ; and whilst this may at: first sight chock our strong partisan friends on both adder, yet on calmer con- sideration wo fool sure they will agree with us in the behalf that; there are many useful mentor“ to be considered entirely apart from party politics. To begin with, there is the quan'on of roads in many of the counties, mid surely there should be no party question raised over a scheme for improving roadways C’- Akln to this is the right of the pavince to regulate and control the conditions on which electric roads may be operated. By a wine or- rangoment it nigh be possible to secure part. of the funds for improving the road- ways from the bldera of electric fran- chises. Surely it also should be consider- ed spat from puttyiam whether the licence fees. wintry office fees and other money. paid from purely local sources should not be in whole or in part: applied, as in Britain, for local purposes. Then the educational ”Item of Ontario is in need of revision, and as both parties are agreed that: the system should be the very boob possible, it seems to us there is a wine oourcc baffle Premier Roaauncmo ly, be wpomtmub of a commission, on which mo Cppodtion should be repre- sented, Jud this commlulon should inves- tlguhsofi whole édncatloncl system and The liquor trafl‘ic has to be regulated or abolished. The province cannot: abolish It; consequently, as Ontario can only regulate the traflia, we are decidedly of the opinion that: the regulation being a non-partisan afl‘iir, the Government should no hesitate to secure the help of the Oppocl ion in dealing with the subject. I At present munlclprl legislation in in a. very muddled condition and should not longer so remain. We think that two able main, recognized as authorities on municipal cfi’airc, could frame a. satisfact- ory law, and these two men should each represent: one cf the political parties. The financial condition of many of the fraternal orders is far from satisfactory, and disastrous collapse will overtake many of them soon unless they are put. ‘bn a much better financial footing than they are at present. Surely politics need, not and should not. enter into such a - matter, so that here again the two parties Could meet: and frame legislation which would benefit a very large and important class of the community. . There are, of course, other questions which in our opinion could be dealt with from a non-partisan point of view, but if tho subjects here mentioned are taken in hand at. the coming session of the Local Legislature, and if both parties unite in framing legislation in the interests of the public alone. we feel satisfied the electors would award unctlnted praise to Opposi- tion and Government. and the next. elec~ tion would lose none of its interest or kecnness because of such legislation, whilst: the Opposition would 'probahly be strengthened by the object-lesson they would thus be afforded the opportunity of giving of their ability to frame wise and good measures. NORTHWEST MOUNTED POLICE FORCE THE BEST IN THE WORLDâ€"AT THE HEAD OF THEIR CLASS The Northwest mounted police, many of whom are going to fight. for the Emplre in Africa, are a distinguished brsdy. Throughout a territory of seven times greater than the whole of France, law and order are maintained by a corps of division. Complaints are promptly in vestigated. In this way the force keeps constantly in touch with the scattered population, which, in return, readily give every assratancc to the police. It is prin- cipally owing to this strong spirit of cor- diallty existing between settler and trooper that: a. mere handful of men can enforce law and order in a country three- fourthc the size of Russia. GREAT CHARACTERS. It would be difficult to find in any corps in the world an assemblage of characters On the pact and present payrolls may be read the names of novelists, "broncho busters,”:lorda. river drivers. artists, bushwhackers, lawyers, dog driv- ers, honorablea, packers, bank clerks, sailors, government clerks, fishermen, Oxford and Cambridge graduates, cons of admirals, generals, bishops and statesmen: former (flicere of the militia and volun-i teers of Canada and Great: Britain, as well as former officers of the armies of England, France and Germany. About 70 per cent. of the men are gentlemen by birth as well as education. Some of them have a private income in addition to their pay. Fully five per cent. once served in the Imperial army of Great Britain. having seen service in Egypt. India, Africa and Afghanistan. The police claim to beZthe best-educated and wealthiest force in the world. The force is armed with Loc-Metford and Winchester repeating carbines and Eufield revolvers. The principal stations are supplied with bronze mortars and 7 and 9 ponnder field pieces. In the Yukon district they are provided with Maxim guns. AVERAGE cr‘ I‘OILCE. The present average of the force is :â€" Height, 5 feet 10§ inches; weight, 107 pounde; cheat measurement, 38.5 inches; age, 31 years. The saddle horses used by the police are westernhbicd‘ubclp‘g a cross between Indian cayuee mares add-Thoroughbred English sires. They average 15.2 hands in height. They have immense powers of endurance and are extremely hardy. only some eight hundred men. cfiizlsllyiThe fecal-d of the corps was msde by known as the Northwest Mounted Police of Canada, but familiarly known as the “Riders of the Plains.” The corps com- bines the features of a military force with those of a cmetabulary. Its duties are as varied as the country patrolled. Essenti- ally the riders are soldiers, but they act: as maglctrates, sheriffs, detectives, town constables, customs officers. llcense in- spectors, fire Wardens, court. clerks. crown timber agents. health cflicers. hide inspectors, came wardens, relief ( fiisers, Crown prosecutors. food inspectors and mail carriers. By their discipline and proficiency, by thclr valor and impartial- ity, by their hardihood and discretion, and by their aoldlcrly and gentlemurly bearing they have not: only won the re- spect of all the classes they dolly come in contact. with, but they have acquired abroad the reputation of being one of the finest. forces in the world. And they live up to it. Romance and hard work ride side by side in the service. It is the stamping ground of adventurous spirits drawn from many countries, and the pass- words are intelligence, stamina and pluck. They follow the mountain trolls. By railroad train or steamboat they go from town to village. They follow the shores of the lake and river. They penetrate the snow-mantled forests, and to make accessible some new found Eldorado they cut: their way through an unexplored wilderness. Like the meshes of a gigantic net thclr patrol trails cover a country that measures a thousand miles from north to south. In fact, one patrol clone â€"thst. from Fort Saskatchewan, in Al- berta, to For: Resolution on Great: Slave Lake: thence to Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie Rlver. and return via Lesser Slave Lakeâ€"coversa distance of 2,172 miles. The patrollng party runs the greater part of the distance on snowshoes and cover: the rerr cinder with canoe and paddle. To give an idea of the tremend- oua distance travelled by members of the force here is an instance of an officer who, in the course of his regular duties as asulsmnt: commissioner during but: a single year travelled a total distance of 15,181 miles. 10,471 miles of which were by rail, 900 miles by water, 3,620 miles with h )rch and 200 miles an snowshoes.

The police horses are equipped with Mexican stock saddles and head stalls, with Whitman bits, which require only a single rein. The carbines are carr'ed balanced across the saddle and strapped to its horn. Their Golden Wedding One of those events which are said to occur in the experience of only one couple in ten thousand took place on Monday in the celebration by Mr. and Mrs. James Hopwood of 60 Harbordctq Toronto, formerly of Lindsay. of their golden wedding. On Sunday the aged couple had a pleasant reunion at their home of the surviving members of their family, and on Monday the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding was celebrated at: the wood. 39 Borden-ct. Mr. and Mrs. Hopwood, though having passed the allotted three score years and ten, are still in the enjoyment: of com- paratively good health, and likely to en- joy many years of life. They are both of Irish birth, Mr. Hopwocd having been born in the town of Trim, on the banks of the historic Boync, and Mrs. Hopwood being a native of the north of Ireland. In the early thirties they emigrated to Canada West, as it was then known, settling in Newtonvllle, in the County of Durham. During the troubles of’ 7. Mr. Hopwood. though only a youth of about 16, volunteered in the West Durham Infantry under Capt. Trull and Lleut.- Col. Reed of Bowmanville, and did gor- rlson and patrol duty between Bowmanâ€" villc and “Muddy York.” Mrs. Hop. wood, whose maiden name was Ann J ackson. spent. several years of her early life in the vicinity of the first settlement of her family at chwtonville. They were married on January fled. 1850, at Cavan rectory. by the late Rev. Mr. Armour, father of Chief Justice Armour, and spent most. of the early years of their married life in that locality, Mr. Hopwood haying held several important positions a accountant throughout the Midland sec- tion of Ontario. In all they have had a family of eight: - four sons and four daughters. Of these there are surviving two sons, Mr. W. J. Hopwood, traveller for Gordon, Mackcy 8; 00., and Mr. Chas. T. Hopwood, with Messrs. Mnkay Bros., Winnipeg; and three daughters. Mrs. M. H. Simon of Lindsay, Mira Sarah E. Hopwood and or O O 2. IA 0 p 9. 2. O 3 9 ‘6' 6 O O Misc Bessie Hapwood of Toronto. A pleasant feature of this gathering was the presentation to the aged couple by Rev. Canon Broughall, on behalf of the children and grandchildren, of a purse of gold, accompanied by a few happy and appropriate remarks from the reverend gentleman himself. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hopwood at the some time celebrated the seventeenth anniversary of their own wedding. Books for Farmers â€"â€" The Ontario Department of Agriculture has taken a. very advanced step in issuing a bulletin recommending books for perusal by farmers, stockmen, dairymen and fruit- growers. The pamphlet has been prepared by Prof. J. B. Reynolds of the Agricultural College. It points out briefly the material and other advantages which come from the possession and utilization of wisely- selected books, and how best to use books, and submits a. list, some or all of which it would be well for every farmer to own. The list is prepared to suit a variety of tastes, and a wide range of agricultural pursuits. The subjects recommended for study are grouped under the following headszâ€"l, soil and crop: 2. live stock ; 3. general agriculture; 4, dairying; .3 poultry, fruit, flowers and vegetables ; 7, plant. and animal life. Under each head will be found the title and the scope of the volume. Some books are simple and prac- tical. while others make more of an effort. to combine science with practice, gi'cing principles as well as rules. The private library is recommended as the bee: of all meansto secure profit from agricultural books. but Farmers” Institutes are also advised to take hold of the question and found a library for their own members. â€"_._.
