Parties desirous of exchang at the Cameron Lake Foundry, or at the office at the corner of Colborne and Francis Streets. were pitted against Waubaushcne, who went down by a score of' 42 to 21. The third round was the game of the series, they defeating Prospect Park club of Toronto by one shot after two extra ends had been played. Old curl- ers who have seen all the contests for the tankard say that it was the only time in its history that two extra ends had to be played to decide a game, and that finer playing had never been seen on Toronto ice. The final game was with Oshawa, who were defeated by 12 shots, Bobcaygcon thus winning the highest honors in the province, and, we might truthfully say, in the world. In the words of Saturday’s Globe we may say, “ Bobcaygeon is not a very big town, but she has some husky curlers.” The players were T. McCamus, W. '1‘. C. Boyd, A. E. Bottum, W. J. Read, skip, Geo.

It is to be, hoped that there will be a better attend/T ance than there were at previous meet- ings of the institute here, as every farmer present is almost sure to acquire new information and hear “something to his advantage.” Tun L.

Wage??? m It’s Got to Come. The political atmosphere is full of straws that show which way the wind blows, and they all show that it- is blow- ing in the direction of tarifi reform, which has got to come “ as sure as fate.” With the exception of the magnates of the lied Parlor and a few other interest- ed or stupid individuals, everybody is tired of the N. P. and the government will be compelled by public opinion to keep the Premier's promise of “ lopping 011' its rotten branches.” D'Alton Mc- Carthy will back up the Patrons of Inâ€" dustry’s petition for the abolition of the duties on coal oil, barbed wire and binder twine; numerous conservative papers insist that there must be a gener- al revision of the tariff; and a new venture in the Toronto journalistic field, The Fast- I’rcss, which is avowcdly conservative, says :â€"“ The Tariff is the most vital question to the entire nation at the present time.

FE/VELO/l/ FALLS practical revision of the tariff will ensure immediate and lasting benefits to many thousands whose interests as producers, wage-earners and tradesmen have been ignore] too long. The efforts of The Fast Press, politically, are direct- ed wholly and exclusively to assist in securing prosperity and contentment for every thrifty and industrious Canadian through the only practical means by which this can at once be achieved.” The Dominion Government would no doubt prefer a policy of “ masterly inactivity,” as therein lies its safety; but whether it sink or swim the will of the people must be obeyed, let the pampered nntnuf‘aeturers rage as they will. A fight between the masses and the classes is about to commence, and should it'result, as it very probably will, in the downfall of the present Govern- ment, a better one will arise on its ruins. As proif that Toryism is antagonistic to the welfare of the country, the Guelph Mercury says :â€" “No two men did more to induce Canada to adopt the system of protec- tiou in 1878, it is said, than Edward Farrar, an editor of the Mail, and Prof. Goldwin Smith. These gentlemen were the right and left supporters respectively of Sir John McDonald in his attack upon Mr. McKenzie’s policy. Where do we find themnow?‘ Heading a movement for annexation to the States. Well has Hon. Edward Blake pointed out that the real tendency of' the Tory party's policy has been ‘ towards disin- tegration and annexation, instead. of consolidation and themaintenanc: of British connection.’ ” an: There is said to be in the hands of the Minister oi'Justiec the outline of a measure intendeclin a general way to prohibit competitidns of every kind, whether of skill or chance, particularly word 'con tests and prize schemes of every sort conducted by so many newspapers and pcl‘lOdlCillS; and it' is proposed that “ postmastcrs shall have power to confis- cate every paper containing offers of that kind, and that the penalty of im- prisonment shall be inflicted upon the editor as well as to the publishers of' every ofi'ending publication, and on every one whose hand is directly engaged in the printing and distributing 01' papers violating the provisions of' the bill."
