The Freeport Journal contains the fol.- lowing notice of these Mills : “The citizens of Freeport always take pride in the progress of its citi- sens, and especially in the development of its industries, for much of our pros. perity depends on their success. We have a number of strong and catch prising manufacturing concernsiu this city, and among them the Stover mana- ufacturing company occupies a leading place. Their exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic Mr.John M.Irwiu, super- intendent of agencies, with able assis- tance, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal Junior Sec- tional Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done with numerous foreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with a live‘ Canadian firm, Messrs. Goold, Shapley 8r Muir 00., (Ltd), of Brantfcrd, Can- ads, to manufacture and sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior wind-mills,. exclu- sively in Canada. Mr. E. L. Goolfit president, and Mr. John Muir, vice- president, were in the city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr; Muir, who, by.~thc- way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about theexcele- Ience of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that company blush. We can endorse alleMr.Mhit-. said about their business enterprise and integrity.” THE TUDHOPE BUGGY, with up-to-date improvements, is a beauty, and the price is low.

Resignation of: Mr. Gladstone.. As the resultof failing eyesight Mr. Gladstone on Saturday last tendered his resignation to the queen, and will spend his remaining years in such retirement as his stillvigorous intellect and unabat- ed interest in political interest will per- ‘mit him to enjoy. Mr. Gladstone was of December, 1809; and is consequently in his 85th year. He was the fourth jsonxof Sir John Gladstone, of Kincard- habits, and his mother, Anne, daughter of Andrew Robertson, Provost of Ding- wall, Scotland, was a descendant. of King Robert Bruce. As may easily, be believed, Mr. Gladstone had a brilliant {caress-at: school and college, and at the ’early age of 23 he was elected for New- ark through the influence- of‘the Duke 30f Newcastle, and; took- his seat for the M l. M’FABLAND HAS EVERYTHING IN GRBGEBIES. THE VERY GHOIGEST 60003; W destined to adorn, delight and astonish for some sixty years, and over whichfor ’a greater portionof that time hcwas to wield an unparalleled and paramount au- thority.” Born and brought up under Conservative influences, he was at first spoken of’ns “ the rising hope of the stern and unbending Tories ;," buthe was a Liberal and Refermer by instinct and soon became so by conviction, and . throughout the greater'part of his career has been the determined opponent of :the abuses he was elected to uphold. Almost his last utterance in Parliament was a denunciation of the House "of Lords, to which he has always been op- posed, although he has refused to abolish it; but which is likely to go now that 'it has been turned over to the mercy of its less magnnuimous enemies. Upon the resignation of Mr. Glad- stone thc Queen calledupon Lord Rose- bery to form a ministry, which he is “likely to find a difiicult job. He is said to be the choice of Mr. Gladstone and is a great friend of the Prince of Wales, but the Radicals don't like him because he is 9. lord, and he is unpopular with tho old-style nobility because he has modern ideas, and the London World says: “ If Lord Rosebery were not strong in the confidence of the country he would find but feeble support in the loyalty ofhis colleagues. It maintains him against them.” He is a man of un. sullicd character, great abilities and broad Liberal principles, and it is sin- cerely to be hoped that he will find smoother sailing in political waters than at present appears probable.

We felt quite sure, a few days ago, that we should be able to announce in this week's issue that the Smith property by lease or permanently by purchase, and that work on the red mill was about to be commenced; but it appears that the business is not yet positively settled, though we have no more doubt now than we had a monthngo that tho ' comers. itage-oftuntil made illegal. born at Liverpool, England, on the 29th . first time in “an assembly which he was . had changed hands, either temporarily , Howrys will cut their lumber here. That this is their natural point all who know the pros and cons of the matter agree, the ad vantages offered by Fcuelon Falls over other localities being so ob- vious as to be demonstrable inn very feW minutes and so great as to entirely outweigh any inducements that either Petcrborongh or Lakcfield can afford to ofl'er. For some time past the Howrys have had 225. men (divided into two camps)- and a considerable number of ' horses at work in the township of Mon- mouth, and their expenses, including everything, will average about $300 a day. Already they have probably out , enough logs to make 10,000,000 feet; and as it costs, at the very least, a dollar to float a thousand feet oflumber in the leg from Fenelon Falls to Peterhorough, the difi'erence in favor of: thisvillage on the first winter's cut amounts to the very considerable sum of 810,009,- to soy noibing of the saving‘of’two months’ time, which is another important item. Of course there may be arguments against Fenelon Falls that we have not iheard of,‘ and the Howrys may go else- Iwhere after all, but we shall not believe that we have lost them. until they actu- ally commence operations in some other locality. Though the vast majority of the rate- payers arc in favor of exempting the Howrys from municipal taxes, there is a certain amount of grumbling, chiefly .,on-the~ground' that the Americans are not establishing anew industry, and it is argued that the owners of the mills al- ready iu operation in the village have as much right to exemption as the new There is some truth in this, aner. John A. Ellis, our late reeve, who has a sawmill on the shore of Cam- eron lake, appeared at the last: meeting of the village council and put in a ,claim for.- exemption from taxation if ’thc H‘bwrys got it ;-but in the course of a discussionoi" the question last Wed~ 'nesday Mr. Ellis said that, rather than put any obstacle in the way of arrange- ment with the Americans, he would with- drew his claim, which shows that the prevailing impression that liewas opposed to their coming d-id‘him a-great mjhsttce. The custom of exempting industries employing a considerable number of men from taxation is a pernicious one, but it exists,,and will be taken advan- Thc llowrys have, very naturally, asked for excmp» tion, nearly all the ratepayers- arc in favor of thcmharing it, and the coun- cil,.thcugh‘ they object to the principle, think it their duty to bow to the public will. It may be, as some maintain, that if Fenclon Falls suits the Howrys they will come here, taxes or no taxes; but nothing can be surer than that, if exemption were refused, and the firm, from any reason whatever, located.clsc-- ‘whcrc, the councilzwould'i be'accuscd of having driven them from the place. m.
