CIRCULAT!ON.â€"THE WATCHMAN-WARDER‘S circulation is 5, 4,300 copies go mthxn trading distance of the town. For years mil's and steamboats have both run on the Scugog. The condition of that river was never before as favorable for both mills and boats as at the present time. But never before did these two interests develop so much friction as they do to-day. Notwithstanding that $120,000 worth of improvements have been made in the channel, and that upwards of $10,000 of that sum has bggfi recently expended, the relations of mill and steamboat men are more strained than they were thirty years ago. In fact boats navigate the strip of water between the locks and corporation limits with greater risk and difl‘iculty than in those early days. It is a strange result when our river facilities, §¢¢F¢as¢ in proportion as PJQDCY is Spent upon AH lfurnrner this matter has been a Cause of conten- tion. Capt. Crandell has entered vigorous protests against the encroachments on the channel, and even went so far on one occasion as to see the police magistrate with the, intention of entering suit against one of the millmen. A letter from the official took the place of a suit in that instance, but it appears that the grievance his not been redressed, and that next week legal Proc‘iedings are to be taken on a general Slate: The captain declares that he cannot possibly maintain a bOat on the water,‘ if the cham-1 nel is to be kept as it has been. The Trent Valley Navi ' has not allowed the Estu'rion to come to the son, and its officers declare it will are. The difficulty has been greatly increased this season L 7 AL- "MC...“ m‘ the dredge. and it has been hoped that them gation Co. has no: auc town wharf this season, not as long as logs are k arel by the presence of the dredge, and it has been nopeu man. when its work was done, the trouble would-be at an end. The boatrnen, however, declare that the real difliculty even now, is with the logs, and that‘ the dredge is operating in such a position that its removal will not greatly affect the case. So then the whole matter is yet to be dealt with, and it is one of the greatest importance to the town. We need both the mills and the boats. If the river can accommo- date both, steps must be taken to see that both are accom- modated. If it cannot, then we must make up our minds to lose one of them. 1' __2L:._ LA "1"..n fhp m;11mpn to 1058 one: U1 LLICLLJ- There will be a strong disposition to give the millmen every possible privilege. It is a thing of great importance to them that their logs shall be placed to the greatest ad- vantage. They are brought long distances at great expense to be cut in this town, and all that can be done to assist in having them handled here to the best advantage, ought to be done by the town. In view of this it is only a trifle if the boatmen have to slow up and exercise care in navi- gating the region of the mills; and populaJ opinion will, to that extent, take the side of the millowners. At the same time navigation must be maintained The town will insist on it. So will the government. In the recent meeting of the board of trade, at which Mr. McHugh spoke on this subject. it was made very clear that the government regards the river, only as a means of navigation and without reference to the convenience of mills along its banks. S i then the logs are only there on sufferance. The boats have the right of way and no doubt any loss they sustain on account of obstructions placed in the channel would be a sound claim against those who put them there. 1 ___ A‘A AA“ Anuakfi TEMPERATURE.

Yesterday morning there passed away one of the pioneer settlers of Mariposa in the person of Mrs. Michael Thorndike, Russel-st., Lindsay. Deceased was born in Yorkshire, England, and married Mr. Thorndike in 1846. The came to Canada and lived ten years in V hitby. They then came to Oakwood and purchased the old Pierson farm near Taylor’s Corners. They lived on it for twenty-five years. On ac- count of Mrs. Thorndike’s failing health they removed to Lindsay some ten years ago. Here the deceased spent her remain- ing days. She was highly respected and a consistent member of the Methodist church. A family of two sons and four daughters with the husband mourn the The subject of this sketch, who died in Lindsay on July 12th, aged 79 years. was born in Devonshire, England, and came to this country with her husband in 1849, settling on a farm in Darlington, near Bowmanville. In 1*40 they removed to Eldon and sixteen years later took up their residence in Lindsay. Deceased was beloved and respected by all who knew her. She was an ardent Oranaewoman, seldom missing a celebration. Her death on the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was a peculiar and pathetic coinci- dence. Deceased spent last Christmas with her daughter, Mrs. S. Oliver, in Lindsay, surrounded by her children, grand and great-grand children. At the time of her death she was a member of the Cambridge-st. Methodist church. Besides her husband, who is in his 82nd year, a family of seven children survive “er. These are: Richrrd, Mrs. Geo. Rathmell, Mrs. S. Oliver, residing in Lindsay; John on the homestead, and George on the term just opposite; J ames, near Lorneville; and Joseph at Reaboro. The funeral took place Saturday. 14th, to Riverside cemetery, and was largely attended. â€".\'early 3. dozen of the pupils mentioned in this issue as successful as the examin- ations of the Toronto College of Music were pupils of Miss E. Jackson, Cem- bridge~st. Another of the old settlers of Emily pass- | ed away on Friday, the 13th, after a long I illness endured with much patience. Mrs. Benjamin White departed this life on Friday, July 13th, at the age of 73 years and 7 months. She was born in the county of Monoghan, Ireland, and came with her parents to Canada at the age of five years. For a short time the family lived in Caven, then moved to Emily, where she lived till she married her late hus oand, who died 23 years ago. She leaves a family of two sons and four daughters to mourn her loss. These are Mrs. Thos. English of Somerville and Mrs. William McCallum of Toronto, Benjamin of Ops and William John on the homestead. In religion she was a staunch Methodist, being a good attendant while she was able to go, and being a very kind neighbor, ever ready to lend a helping hand in sickness or trouble of any kind. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. MRS GEO. VANSTONE of which MRS. M. THORNDIKE MRS. “’HITE Obituary logs lie in the river at men, the millowners clear. A country is either very ridiculous or in great straits when it has the policy of its choice administered by a party wholly opposed to that policy. That is what Canada is doing to day. Lately we pointed out how inconsistent and unfair that state of things appears. But it has worse evils. A man who is doing a work with which he has no sympathy will not do it as well as a man who has, and he is any day likely to be found devoting himself to contrary interests. It is the same with political parties. The Reform party has always been the enemy of protection. Elected on another issue, It has under preSSure, adopted the policy of its Opponents. On that account it asks for support. To grant it is like employing the man who is not in sympathy with your interests. Already it is evident that the party 6085 not skilfully handle its steal, and there 1! always a danger that it Wlll put its own policy into operation. ‘ _--L1_ 1' l ““"b‘" "v“ " --~~* . - _ Examples of the first are not lacking in the inequai,‘ ities of the tariff schedule. Free corn has given our farmers a. jolt that they will not soon get over or forget, Already the tendency to betray the country to free trade is shown: by the preference given to British goods without getting any equivalent in return. It shows the peril to which the policy that has made this Country, is exposed when it is sacrificed to cheap sentiment. There is no telling the day when these ‘men, hoStile in their hearts to the policy they administer, will dEal it another and perhaps a. fatal blow. The only sure way to keep the ioundation under the trade policy ot Canada is to return the Conservatives to power. UNIVERSAL sympathy will be extended to Dr. Borden, minister of militia, because of the death of his only son, Major Borden, whom Lord Roberts, last week, reported ‘killed in- battle. He was the minister’s only son, of magnificent physique, standing six feet four inches, only 23 years old and was intended to study medicine as have his predecessors for four generations. WHEN 'IHE government tailed to provide insurance on the lives of the men of the first contingent, Sir Chas. Tupper succeeded in inducing a wealthy Canadian to pay for a million dollars of accident insurance. At the time, Reform papers sneered at the arrangement, but the heavy casuality list has made it of the highest value to the relatives of the soldiers. Sir Charles on Wednesday of last) week publishedla request that claims be properly and promptâ€" f‘s,,,_ A--_°j__h I"- : lylprésented Montreal. REFERRING TO THE lamented death of Dr. Borden’s son, a member of the house said he had “won the great prize of death in battle.” It is a pity that such utter folly can stiil find expression. Death in battle is no prize; it is a human sacrifice to the most debasing and vicious sentiments that humanity has ever exalted to the place of homage. It is a life thrown away, worse than wasted, blotted prematurely out while seeking to destroy one’s fellowman. It is a ghastly, hideous taking-off, abhorrent to all worthy conceptions of the purposes of man’s existence. The shocking brutality of its horrid violence and muti'ation debauch the human spirits of beholders till in their stead there rise the wolfish instincts of the fiends and men with heaven’s own impress are calloused till fit denizens of hell. It is a shame that this savage, pagan. orgie of human blood should find a. voice to hallow it beneath the christian dome. And yet it can. Our statesmen smg its praises; and even men upon their knees implore their modern God to bless its devasta ions, while the profane multitudes without, exclaim amens. “ War on war” and may it. stripped of its lying decora tions, stand in the wan and haggard horror of reality, so that, undeceived, our young men will neither be bullied nor coaxed into robbing themselves oflife and their friends of peace at the hateful bidding of the iingo rabble.
