When Mr. Abbott, before a commit- tee of the Senate, and Sir John Thomp- son, in an ame-olection address, express- ed u determination to root out and pun- ish wrong doing, without regard to the social or political position of the guiltv parties, their hearers (some of whom must. have been shaking in their shoes) probably believed that the honorable gentlemen meant what they said, but subsequent events have proved beyond a doubt that. they were what children call “only in fun." By the ipsc (limit of Judge ,Elliott. of London, the seal in the House of Commons for that. con- stituency was taken from Mr. Hyman, who won it. by a majority of lawful roles, and conferred upon Honest John Carling. who has'grcatly lowered him- self in public estimation by accepting it; and when a petition for the removal ol Judge Elliot was presented in the House it was promptly rejected» on-thc ground of some trifling ingregularityin its prep- aration. “Vermilion that, Mr”. Edgar brought. againstiSir Adolphe Caron a number ofgravc charges, the most seri- ous of which Was that he (Caron) had obtained large sums of money from railway companies that had received subsidies at the instance of the Cabinet of which he was 'a member, and spent the same in bribing constituencies. Here was a chance for Sir John Thomp son to root out the wrong doing and punish the guilty; but. did he do it? Not. at all! on the center , he got up and made a speech intended to prove that. there was no way by which Sir Adolphe could be hauled over the coals; and that titled personage will probably get some more money from the same source the next time an election is pend- ing. That. it is not Reformers only who are finding fault with Sir John and Sir Adolphe will be seen by an ar ticlc in another column from the Con- servative Quebec Chronicle, and the Toronto News, which is also Conserva- tive, says : “ In his reply to the statement made by Mr. Elgar, the Minister of Justice declared that it is for the courts rather than a committee ofthc House to inquire into charges made against members whose election is alleged to have been secured by corrupt means. Unfortunate- ly, however, it is too late to .ipply to the judicial tribunals for an investigation of the off-nee of which Sir Adolphe Caron is said to have been «guilty. A protest against the election of a lliL‘llibcr of the Commons must be entered within thirty days after the return of the writ. and that period has long sine-3 expired in the case under consideration. The only means by which an inquiry can be had is by referring the charges made by Mr. Edgar ton. Parliamentary Comâ€" mittee or a Royal Commission. So ex- tensive Was the corruption which this gentleman alleges to have taken pinch, that. a rclusal to allow of the fullest investigation in (he only way now open would be unjustifiable, even if the money used had ‘nr-cn taken from a private purse. lint Since it is solemnly declared that the funds which corrupted the elec- torate were taken nlm st directly from the public treasury, the demand that the truth or falsity of the charges be estab- lishwl incomes absolutely imperative. Should the Government persist in its refusal to grant an inquiry only OIIC’ inference is pa.~..~.ible_â€"â€"thnt the slate- mcnts made by :he members for We»! Qatari-1 are true. And the Government I whizh is prepare-l to maintiin in ofiicc I l Liiiuiszur “nu has bought his one and oillcrs' way imo Parliament with money stolen from the people is unlit. to rule this country." Dehorning Cattle. An animnled controversy has for some time past been carried on in the Toronto papers regarding the dehorning ofcattle. a subjr-ct regarding which it appears there is a good deal to be said on both sides. There can be no doubt at all that horns are a nuisance, and were it not. that s:nving them of? must be a very painful operation. and that the. rings on them are the only reliable means of (el- ling the age of neat cattle, scarcely anyone would object to their innncdiaie removal from the head of every animal that wears tin-m. The disputanls who favor dchorning insist. that. the pain caused by amputaling them is. so trifling and of such brief duration that the yeild of some cow's' milk has actually been increased by the removal of their horns. (which seems incredible.) and that for more painful operations are performed on domestic animals without any outcry being raised, because people are 'used to them. which is probably true. But if, as one or two writers assert, the horns of a, calf can be prevented from growin;r by an almost or quite painless operation Called “budding.” why don't the rival factions direct a eompromi 0 instead or wasting time and ink in a vain attempt to convert each other to their different views on the subj ct. Let vicious an- imals be dehorued ; let quiet ones go as nature made them; let all calves it is intended to raise be " buddcd " when a few days old; and in four or five years from now comparatively feW horned animals will be seen, and in nine or ten years they will be scarce enough to be regarded almost as curiosities. There is every reason why horns should be abolished, if it can be done painlessly. as they are of no use until after the animals' death, and then all but a few of them are wast-ed. Supplying the Patrons. Mr. C. Curtis has entered into an agreement to supply the Patrons of In- dustry contiguous to Fenelon Falls with groceries and provisions for one year from the first of the present mouth. The other merchants think he made an April fool of himself when he closed the contract; but Mr. Curtis says that, although he will have to cut prices un- usually finc, he hopes that the largencss of his sales will enable him to make a Tch dollars profit. Mr. Sandford is do ing the flouring, gristing and chopping for the Patrons at reduced rates, and his mlll has been full of bags whennver we. visited it; but whether he and Mr. Curtis and the Patrons will all be satis ficd at the end of the year remains to be seen. It. is quite certain that many prominent and thoughtful farmers have declined to join the Alliance, and no doubt have, or believe they have, good reasons forkccping aloof from it. Our opinion is that a weak spot or “ missing link " will sooner or later be discovered somewhere, and that the combination will fall to picccs just as its predeCcssor. the Grange, did, as no men like to sell goods for less than a fair profit or work for less than the “going” wages, and if the farmers succeed, for any length of time, in compelling them to do so, they are smarter than we give them credit for being. The keen competition now~ uvdays existing in almost all kinds ol business keeps prices lower than in many cases they ought to be; and if it weren't for the long credit which farmers, more than any other class of buyers, have in- sisted upon, merchants and mechanics could sell and work much cheaper than they have been compelled to do in order to make a living, The Industrial League is very attractive in theory : but to talk and to do are two very different things.

MISS Poemsâ€"As there was no au- dienceiu Dickson’s hall on Saturday" evening, when all the stores are kept open until a very late hour, Miss Lil‘ lian M. Phelphs did not deliver her lecture as advertised; but addressed large audiences in the Presbyterian church alter service on Sunday afterâ€" noon, 'and in the Methodist church in the evening. She is an earnest, clo~ qucnt and convincing speaker. fully dc- scrving oi the eulogiu'ns showered upon her by the Press, and all who heard her in this village were very much pleased. Lammsr Carenâ€"We are glad to learn that the report we heard a few days ago that Lapidist Chief had been killed was not correct. Ever since he broke his leg, March 24,11e has been in a sling, in.~ which he will have to rennin several weeks longer; but. he is so gentle and tractable that there is no difficulty in managing him, and Mr. John Simpson, his owner, has strong, hopes of his ultimate recovery from the olfects of the accident, thou1h, as he is getting up in years, it is hardly likely that the leg will be strong enough to stand more than very m ale-rate work. A lloasr: INJIHED â€"-â€"()r Monday afternoon as Mr. E S nitheravn, of Fen- elon, was driving hom: with a load of lumber from Fenelon Falls, his horses-â€" a fine team four and six years oldâ€"took fright. at a milk stand at the road side, and, giving a sudden spring, snapped the double-tree and ran away. After runningu short distance they collided with a tree and one of them (the young- est and somewhat the best) injured its spine in two places, and had to be dl'uW'l home on a stone-boat. At last, accuuut it was still living, but. its hind parts nro paralyzed, and there is scarcely any hope that it will ever be of use again. NEARLY Osmanâ€"A few days ago Mr. W. l‘. .lunkin put a gong on his store door, and the glad tidings instant- ly spread amongst the village boys, who ever since have been lurking around, trying to get a ring at it without being caught; and on Tuesday evening some of them were nearly grabbed by Coa- stablc Nevis-m, who came upon them unexp’etedly. but. they nnuaged to es- Cape after a long and exciting chase. The gong is a Yankee invention and of a navel and improved design; for instead of having to strike or pull a handle, you simply turn a projecting piece of metal either to the right, or left, and a streak of melody is emitted.
