[" A .This coming from Huntingdon, Que., Nov.28, 1908 NOTES OF THR WEEK \u2014 The writ for a new election in Chateauguty may be ex- wected any day.The cm test will be the same as before, between Desrésiers and Mercier.The aunouncttbent on Thursday that 10 great Buffalo stockyard had been closed cwing to the discovery that two car load of cattle had been sold upon it affected with fdot-and-mouth disease took the public by surprise, for it was not known that disease existed on the continent.It veterinaries were aware of its presence both in Michigan and Pennsylvania, The U,S.government le moving actively to stamp out infection, while our own has taken steps to prevent the importation of cattle or of anything calculated to hold infection into Canada.The disease la one of the most malignant known, and its prevalence in Great Britain decimated herds and cost the government millions of dollars to eradicate.\u2018At one o'clock Friday morning the body of a man was found in the middie of St.James street, On examination cuts were found and the cause of death was traced to a blow on the head.During the day the body was identified\u2014it was that of Andrew Fox of \"Toronto, & commercia] traveller.Detectives found that Thursday evening he was under the influence of liquor, and had gone from bar-room to bar-room.At midnight he was drinking in a St.James-street saloon.He was afterwards seen in a sleigh with two men, disputing in angry tones.The driver of the sleigh struek him and threw him out.A leg caught either on a projection of the sleigh or was held by the driver, aad he was dragged on his back some distance before released.When the body was found the eyes were wide open with ae stare of horror, as if he realized the terrible mature of the jour- mney, The driver and occupants of the sleigh have not been found.Mr Carnegie, the world\u2019s millionaire, has dismayed protec tioniste by an article in a magasine, in which he declares the iron and steel industries have reach~ ed the point when they can do without help from the tariff.His statement is, that protection is needed in new countries to establish manufactures, but when they are firmly planted, the help ought to be withdrawn.The U.8, tarif! of 1871 was the means of founding the great iron and stool lngystridh Wf Penneyivania, which now, after 87 years of government coddling, are mo strong that they do not fear competition and the duties ought to de placed on à revenue basis.Mr Carnegie hid have great weight with seems, however, Montreal, While Mr Carnegie ammases our ueighbors My felling them to re- deco 4pp fptiee cn stat bis fec- torias pbs nie Songe œuiti-mil- Menaire, John D, Rockefeller, bas besa in the witases-box to give aghinet his company of eombin- ing to raise the pricy of coal-oll and ruls competitors.His evi dence throws much light on the Character of the mism and hls methods of workigg, Over forty years ago, when à lad, ne had oy- portunities to learn all there was about the eeal-oil trade as it then existed, and he availed himself of his opportunities to the full, becoming @ master of all details, Seeing there were openings to make Improvements not only in the quality of the oll but in the methods of handling it, he got a loan of $2000 from a Cleveland banker and went into business for himeelf.He managed so shrewdly that everything prospered under his hand.He bought out competitors one by one until he obtained complete control of the market.His contention before the judge was that this was an advantage to the public, whom he supplied with a better quality of oll and at a lower price than they would bad he never intervened.That the Standard oll company is a great public benefactor is questioned, and the competitors whom Rockefeller squeezed out will \u2018be asked to give their side of the story in open court.ln managing his business Rockefeller declared he never broke bis word.When he made a loan, it was paid \u2018 punctually, when he \u2018signed an agreement it was observed to the letter.Schemiog and evasion in his dealings he had scrupulously avoided.Appearances are not so favorable in Europe for the continuance of peace, Turkey has entered protest against Austria holding the two provinces it grabbed, and has the enthusiastic support of Servia.Both Turkey and Austria are massing troops on the disputed frontier, Di- vlomacy may yet find a peaceful solution of the contending claims but that le doubted.General Roberts\u2019 speech as to Germany's threatening attitude towards Britain has caused much uneasiness.The mere fact that England's foremost soldier admits Germany could invade the tight little island shakes confidence and has a depressing effect.Why England should meddle with Continental politics, why it does not hold aloof from them like the United States, and give no cause for attack, is passing strange, The government of Russia, several years ago, took the liquor- trade into its own hands, but not from any high motive, On the contrary, it was done solely to add to its revenue, Germany now proposes to follow Russia's example to the extent of taking the wholesale trade la Hiquor into its own hands, and expects to thereby bring into \u2018the treasury 55 million dollars yearly.This assoclating of government with the traffic is bad in every way.The revenue it brings is an inducement to governments to keep the traffic in existence and bars every reform in the direction of oiohibition.In Russie güvern- ment ownersbip je pelpadly \u20ac national curse, A remarkable feature of our times Is the rapid growth of the conviction thet the Sarroom le à sulssnog, My Wha ere pot tots] abetaisers and whe would not vote for prohibition have come to bo decided ln thelr opinion voir 8h te werwe | gt 10s barra oni dé ver up.The given the majority thot has closed salooes ia eo many of the counties of the Western States, and which will carry tbe law to the same effect thut le coming ta Ontario.The cry in Ontario té close the barroom is dally getting stronger and the legislature before long must give it effect.That electors whd are not abstainers should support the movement to alt up the barroom is evidence of the harm it does.The treating-system is the stronghold of the liquor-traf- fic, and it is by the barroom the treating-system existe.It Is the habit of treating which lures the young men to take nis first «lass, and it Le the same system which induces men who have gone nto the barroom with no Intention of taking more than a glass to take drink after drink to their own hurt and to the disgrace of their families.There would be drinking were every barroom abolished, but there would not be the open temptation to the young or the same inducement to excess in the occa- slonal drivker.The great evil of society would not be abolished.but it would be seriously curtai!- ed.Of all classes of men, the farmer has least symvathy with the liquor-traftic.'His work is honeat, for what he has to sell he gives fair money - worth, and he unconsciously comes to despise the man who rekes in money for what is not merely of ho value but is hurtful to the buyer.The liconse-system means makinz the farmer a partner with the fellow who pockets good coin for drams, and it is no wonder that the farmers of St.Sacrement, of St.Malachie, of Hemm'ng\u2019ord, Have- lock, Franklin, Hinchinbrook, Elgin, and Godmanchester refuse to grant licenses.Only Ste.Barbe, St.Anicet, and Dundee give license, and the farmers of Dundee are resolved to end their connection with the dram-seiler.They will succeed, if every farmer who ls convinced the barroom is bad will turnout and vote.It has long been a reproach to the farmers of Dundee that, tho as sober, intelligent, and self-respecting a body of men as is to be found in the Dominion, they permitted the traffic to exist on the edge of their town.They are going to make a renewed effort to wipe out that reproach on the good uname of their township, and in doing #0 have the hearty wishes of every decent farmer jn the district for their success.Duty to themselves, to their boys, to their neighbors across the lines, to whom the Dundee bars are an uamitigated curse, requires that the Dundee farmers go into this vote heartily and with the determination to win.A united pull, and a strong pull will do it, and then nobody can say the Dundee farmers are partners ia keeping drinking-holes open by giving them license, ORMSTOWN Mr Belton of Hemmingford occupied the Methodist pulpit on

declared illegal.On the 380th October Judge Saint Plerre gave his decision, mainly on two grounds.First, that the special meeting of the council was irregular in being called at an unusual hour and that the formalities required in giving license had not been observed.When the council rose without confirming the certificate, it lay with Faubert to proceed anew, and as if he haddone nothing before, The same with the council, it ought to have given a fresh public notice of 7 days that it was going to consider his application.Second, the council did not dispose of the petitionof the ratepayers praying that no 1license be granted.It was, therefore, still before the council, and in face of it, the council had no power to confirm Faubert's certificate, By the Judgment the lie cense

Bourassa, M.L.A, im response to an Invitation from the club, gave a thoughtful and clever address on \u201cPublic Spirit\u201d The gifted lecturer avoided altogether any reference to party politica.The idea, pre- valling to a la extent in the United States, to a lesser extent in Canada, and to a limited de- gr-e in England, was that tha best goverament was a government which handed out the greatest number of favors and most patronage to its supporters.These ideas were a menace to our future, for, after all, a government or a representative was just as good or ss bad ag the people who choose them.Every citizen had a duty to the nation and to the community in which he or she lived, in the selection of parliamentary representatives, church wardens, school commissioners, municipal councillors, directors of agricultural associations, etc., and the most useful citizen was the one who willingly sacrificed his personal interests for \u2018the benefit of his fellows.He urged his French Canadian fégow-citizens to cultivate the best and to lead honorable lives.To command respect from others we must first respect ourselves.Providence had placed here in Canada, s'de by side, the descendants of two great vations, and he believed there was a growing friendly feeling between them, which he hoped would continue.David Manny and Miss E.Longtin helped by their singing to make the evening a pleasant one.Monsignor Allard and Judge Sainte Pierre expressed the thanks and appreciation of the audience.ELGIN On Friday morning, about 7 o'clock, while Maitland Platt was driving past Mr Seward\u2019s farm he saw, lying stretched on the road, a dead body, which he recognized as that of John A.Barrie.A glance showed it was a case of suicide.Deceased had pressed a double-barrelled shotgun against his breast and fired it by pushing the trigger with the ramrod.The buckshot had penetrated vital organs, causing immediate death.As the body was warm when found, the deed must have been committed at early dawn.Dr Clouston was sent for and his investigation showed that the deceased had been living alone for some time back on the home place, that he bad worked as usual on Thursday, and had been with Mr Seward, his neighbor, and his son in the evening, attending a sick horse.He had b2en despondent of late and the sudden pccess of acute insanity, which caused him to take his life, must have seized him during the night.\u201cHehadn\u2019t an enemy,\u201d remarked one nelgh- bor, and .\u201cHe was the favorite of the family,\u201d was the testi mony of another.The great attendance at the funeral, over 120 wagons following the tody to the grave on Sunday afternoon, was evidence of the deep sympathy that prevails for his varents.Deceased was 42 years of age and unmarried.be ATHELSTAN The government is taking vrompt messures to protect tbe dairy industry of the Dominion.The collector of customs at this port, has been notified that, owlag t0 the outbreak of

was returned to the States on Monday.G.L.Shearer lms bought Jas.Grant's farm, This farm was formerly the property of Hugh Anderson, Reported price $3700.KENSINGTON The Foresters af Court Helena received a visit on Friday from the high chief ranger of the province, James Ellis, who came from Quebec to mvestigas2 insur ance claims by the wife and mc- ther of Perry Dalzell, a Forester, who died lately.There had been some hitch about the paymeat of the said claims, but it is believed that the insurance will.ba promptly paid as a result of the inquiry, In the afternoon he paid a fraternal visit to James White, who was pleased to sce hin.Mr White recently re.eived his total disability benefit of £70, being the half of his \u2018nsu>- ance in the order.In the evening Mr Ellis had a pleasant meeting with the Foresters in the hall, to whom he explained the increase in rates of the members who joined before 1898, and which has placed the society on a sound and permanent footing.Two new courts have just recently been instituted in the province, and 79 new members received in the month of October.AN ALLEGED INTERVIEW The editor of a New York magazine, Dr Hale, was travelling in Europe last summer and had a letter of jatroduction to the Emperor of Germany, who received him on board his yacht, and had a long and familiar conversation with him.This interview Dr Hale wrote out, intending to publish it in the Century magazine.Owing to the outery caused by the publication of the em- veror\u2019s conversation with an English diplomat, the German authorities prevented this, but the New York World prints what it alleges to be the substance of all the emperor said, and which ls as followg\u2014 The emperor was bitter agalnst Britain.and full of \u201cthe yellow peril.\u201d He declared Britain a traitor to the white man\u2019s cause, He predicted that she would ultimately lose some of her colonies through her treaty with Japan.The invitation to the American fleetof battleships to visit New Zealand and Australia was intended to serve notice on Britain that those colonies were with the white man and not with the renegade mother country.The British colonies would show by the ardor ot their reception that they understood the situation.The emperor declared that Japan is even now fomenting insurrection in India, This insurrection might break out within six months, Germany and the United Btates will, however, find a solution of the eastern question.There bs a complete understanding between Emperor William and President Roosevelt on the point.They intend to divide the cast against itsef by b:cdm'az th2 rco-gaized friends of China.Negotiations bave been progressing favorab'y for months.A very high Chinese official, the emperor said, would soon visit America and Germany.Terms will then be made known, «uarantesing the protection and lntegrity of China and the open door.Every statesmen now re.aliges, the emperor declared, that Russia in ber great struggle with Japan was really fighting the white man\u2019s cause-fightiag it miserably, The emperor express ed sympathy wit h Russia, remarking how different the result would have been if the burdea of wry We Wold was Mu - - - .- \u2014 \u2014\u20140 seat to Our\u201d COMITE EE, of [dard been piaced Fror:- dence upon his own invincible battalions.If Japan be suffered now to get control of China, Europe will suffer attack.The emperor ls keeplug friends with the Mohammedan world, He ls even supplying them with rifles because they are devils in fight, and stand there between the east and the west where they can break the first force of attack.Emperor William said he bellev- ed that the United States would be forced to fight Japan within ten years.\u2018He seemed eager to talk, and poured a steady stream of criticism upon Great Britain + for two hours.AN AMERICANS PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY On Thursday, in New York city, at the great banquet of the New York State chamber of commerce at which the United Kingdom and Canada were ably represented among the financial and political leaders of the Republic, James J.Hill, the great rallway magnate of the Northwestern States, and controller of the Northern Pacific, spoke thus in regard to Canada\u2014 Well-informed persons say that for some time 50 per cent.of the population pouring into western Canada, and a large part of the capital mewly invested there, have come from the United States, On our side of the line there reside today 1,200,000 persons born in Canada.Ontario gets her coal from Iennsylvania, and New England could get hers, when not prohibited by high tar- fs, from Nova Scotia.Geography, ethnology and all the great silent natural forces are drawing us closer all the time, Absolute Freedom of Trade What the commercial relations between these countries ought to be is indicated by every fact in their common history.It ls eug- æested by that common intellectual laheritance which has made the mightiest mind of Canada, Goldwin Smith, as much at home perhaps in New York as Toronto, and which impelled one of the really great historians produced by the United States, Francis Parkman, to devote his lite and gonius to the story of the founding of Canada, It ls suggested also by their varallel development, and by the mingling of their commerce, Without committing any others here, I do mot hesitate to declare my owa opinion.1 believe that the most natural, the most rational, the most bighly profitable commercial status between Canada and the United States ls absolute freedom of trade.Pending the arrival of that, I believe that those who have the interests of both countries at heart should work for the establish ment of trade reciprocity in all matural products as ample and generous as public opinion will approve.All that I have sald and all the facts of material development on both sides of the \u2019 boundary lead to this conclusion, a conclusion entertained today, it it could find through non-politi- cal agencies, by a greater proportion of the people of the United States than most men dream of.A Self-Evident Thing That commerce must eventually move unrestrained between these two peoples is velf-evident.Why not strike off the shackies now and let it move freely ine stead of paying the heavy penalty of delay?I do not believe that there le one valid argument ia favor of the system that makes our igternational boundary line bristle with customs- houses, and forces every dollar's worth of trade betwesn them to show its passport and pay its entrance fee.1 do not believe that there le one sound objection, on the ide % Camis or Ff We Vaféog ; ot a \u2014 = ve States, to fuller and freer intercourse.Whatever be the strength or the weakness of the economic policy known as protec- tion\u2014a subject which I do not here dlecuss\u2014it hae po meaning or effect as applied by either one ol these countries against the other.The assumption of some fixed variation in the wage level le nonsense.Men are free to come and go, and New England at this moment depends for her labor largely upon her French Canadian population, Wages do vary, just as they vary between New York and Colorado, but their average under similar conditions is the same in the two countries.An Economic Gain Moro liberal and friendly trade relations between them would ba an economic gain.The manufacturers of Canada need not fear the competition of powerful combinations in the United States.Not one of these controls production in its own country, Right here the small manufacturer coms potes successfully with his greater rival, If there were not a duty on any natural produet of either country when entering the other not a wheel would stop, not a man would be thrown out of employment in either, but the business of each would feel the stimulus of an enlarged market.It is as clear a case of reciprocal advantage as can be found in the whole history of trade; which rests on the axiom.not always remembered in our time, that both parties to an exchange of commodities may be gainers by the transaction, Has Canada reason to fear Hf our trade relations were those of a liberal reciprocity agreement?Her former growth under such a policy, the ability of her manufacturers with their large supplies of cheap raw material, the magnitude of the market afforé- ed by the addition of 67,000,0C0 consumers\u2014all declare that the period of such trade emancipi- tion would be the most splendid of her most remarkable history.Canada Not a Buppliant In this country the policy of reciprocity between the United States and Canada has broken down popular opposition, New England favors it, the great tier of States facing the Canadian boundary and the great lakes favos it.the middle west believes in and asks for it.We have too long considered it only as a boon for us to grant and Canada to ask, That may have been true 80 years ago; it is not true today, Not as a suppliant but as an equal she must be dealt with.Her interests are no greater and no less than ours, her position is independent, Both sides should put away the selfish argument of vossible advantage for either through reciprocity and join in the creation of a great \u2018trade sone, wherein trade as well as men may be free, From us, the older, larger and more developed commudity, and ome whose past attitude has beg somewhit indifferent, the invitation now should come, It should bs the privilege of this place and this hour to give a new voice and new force to this opinion, to open the way for the adoption of a system of reciprocity that means not only international friendil- ness, solidarity and mufual support, but also immense trade expansion and financial gala for both the parties concerned.LJ New

asked for leniency.Judge Leet, in impos- Ing a fine of $10 and costs, remarked that this was a serious offence, and reflected discredit cn the whole country.It was suc\u2019 practices that rendered

ladies returned from a theatre last evening to their homes on Armstrong's Point they stepped out of the carriage, and, on entering the house, heard someone snoring in the library where the reflection of a fire in the grate could be seen through the door.They supposed their father had falien asleep, and planned to pleasantly surprise him, so they rushed in and threw their arms around the dleeplng figure, and implanted kisses in the dark.The visitor raised his head, and revealed the face of a burglar, who had decld- ed to take a comfortable nap before proceeding with his work.References were not exchanged.Montreal, Nov, 20.\u2014Mr Carsley, head of the big departmental store bearing his name, died tonight.Some few days ago he was thrown from his carriage and injured, but at the time it was not thought to be serious.Heo was 72 years of age.He had built up a large business and was very wealthy.There is little to tndicate that the recent investigation at Quebec has relieved the public mind of the belief that the truth has aot all been told.L'Evenement appears to interpret this when it states that the revelations simply stupefied the public, Yet suddenly in the midst of the investigation the emissaries went to Ottawa and then the order seems to have slackeped.As a matter of fact, when it was desired to know if the men who furnished supplies to the department of marine contributed to the electoral fund, Mr Perron, the government counsel, objected and the judge maintained the objection.Ottawa, Nov.20.\u2014On the request of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, W.La Mackentie King,
