I gmt degree by mercantile agents. travellers. and. other outsiders. who could; have no particular object: in speaking of the great advance of this town otherwise than to state truly their own impressions and what they have heard relative to the prmnt and increasing prosperity of Lindsay. Even some of our oldest inhabitants say that with all their favorable expectations. our town'has already advancedâ€"and in comparatively short timeâ€"much be- yond what they thought they could be justified in anticipating. This is encouraging. and if our municipal and other public affairs are judiciously managed by our public men. and the way cleared for further progress. it may be assumed as a certainty that Lindsay will advance year after year with a steady pace until it attains a distinguished position. A. few per- son! may complain of high taxes and of sour; of our streets not being at present fit for ladies‘ slippers or dainty boots. but the good. solid. permanent improvements initiated by last year's council will be paying investments in a very short time. As has been shown. our natural ud- vantagea are very great. Lindsay is the central trading point. of out: of the finest counties in the whole Do- minion. and if a person had not the tact to do business here the chances to do better anywhere else will ad: be very tempting. Goods can now be had. in Lindsay as cheap. and almost in as guest variety, as in any other place in Ontario. This has been found at“. and purchasers find it their in- terest to trade here. A fowt persons have. left us “for other fields and pastures new." but it is known that most of these have acknowledged that they. made it great mistake in going .LINDSAY ONT-'0‘ .'

Emile Zola may take a Cassandra-like comfort in tho official returns of births and deaths for 1898. The numben woos 818.988 births. 810.073 deaths. showing an ex. cons of births over deaths of only 88.. 860. while in 1807. the excess was 108.- 088. and in 1896 98.700. This looks like a return to the figum of the five preceding years. when the num- ber of deaths was nearly equal to that of birth, and in some cases actually oxceodedit. AIit is, lSOBulhowsa fallim off of 76.000 from. tho slight improvement of the two previous years.

Admit that: Mr. Weir's motives were good. that motives of a teller who takes a. bank's money and expects to pay it back are nevo: bad. Yet the teller goes to penitentiary regardless of his motives. and Mr. Weir had no right to compo punishment- for a far more seri- ous crime. 11 the idea prevailed in Montreal that the criminal law does not apply t 0 large transactions in the higher realms of finance. it was time for the Dominion government to move. and Hon.
