Nflrrmarket AH Printing Done at Home FRIDAY APRIL An Ottawa special says that four steamships have been chartered to sail from St John this month and four next month laden with hay for South Africa By a new system of pressing the bulk of a ton of bay from or cubic feet to about cubic feet will stimulate the Cana dian export trade not only to South Africa but to Great Britain by ef fecting an immense saving in bulk freight We are advised that the Federation of Ontario Liberal Clubs will likely run an excursion to New Ontario this summer It will assume the form of a sort of monster political in tended to afford an opportunity- for young Liberals and old ones too for that matter all over the Province to look at the land of promise At a meeting of the Executive in Toron to this week the matter was over and favorably received Pro vincial Clubs will likely be commun icated with and if prospects suc cess are assured arrangements and date will be announced July a York county farmer named Summers met with an accident while going to Toronto with a load of produce Near the York Mills bridge a trolley car frightened his team and they ran away The horses galloped over an embankment and the outfit landed wrongside up in the ditch Because the embankment was not protected the court has decided that the county must pay Mr Sum mers and costs Here is a case clearly the result of the trolley Will the County Council now enforce the agreement and make the Metropoli tan hand over these damages Well see It is stated that the owners of the battleground at Quebec known as the Plains of Abraham demand as price from the Domini on Government It Isnt worth any such money and the people of this country are too practical to pay such a large sum for little more than sen timent At any rate the taxpayers of Canada can find better use for its money than squander it on a play ground of old Quebec If the people of that Ancient City want to use the Plains as a public park let them buy them but all Canada dont want stock in no such property As the Montreal Gazette says Most people would sooner see the plains turned into a bayfield than pay that sum for it as a relic We hope the for West Ontario wont sanction any such bargain On Friday last Chancellor Boyd and Mr Justice held an election court at North Bay to Inquire Into the validity of the last elec tion The Klock petition was pro nounced a farce and on Tuesday last was dismissed at OsgoodeHall with costs Mr the Conservative nominee claimed there was a conspi racy on the part of the sheriff against bis election but the court said there was no ground for any such accusa tions It appears that the voters lists in were not ready for October the date fixed for the general election and Sheriff Varin the returning officer postponed the nomination until they were prepar ed On the Mr Klock went through the ceremony of placing his nomination paper and deposit on the Sheriffs desk in his private office and then claimed the seat On the regular nomination day fixed the Sheriff to which proceedings had been adjourned Mr Klock was not nomin ated and the returning officer Mr McCool Liberal elected ends the farce and Mr now realizes that political klock Is out of time Trouble at every to crop up between City wad County in everything connect the of In which the two are unequally yok ed Tfce sooner the union is dissolved the better for all concerned at any rate it will be the better lor the County The Board of Audit met on Tuesday in the office of the Clerk of the Peace to pronounce up on the past quarters criminal justice home for Easter accounts when two city representa tives put in an appearance to take part in the work The County men objected and the question was sub mitted to Judge He ad mitted that an irregularity had occur red but thought the city should have one representative and allowed him a seat at the Board for the present quarter in spite of the irregularity It is thought the disability will be straightened out before another ses sion of the Board But the whole in cident is verily like Toronto Wheth er right or wrong Law or no law city officials seem to fancy it their pre rogative to dictate to or browbeat the County without so much as say ing by your leave whenever oppor tunity offers Miss Kirby of Albert a pro fessional nurse has taken permanent rooms with Mrs A
