this way is false and contemptible. That Mr. Barron has been looking for the nomination from “his old convention” has :10 truth whatever in it. It is of a piece with the statement that Mr. Barron has forced his “little lecture” on the clergy of South Victoria until it has “fallen fiat.” Mr. Barron's lecture, which was prepared with much care and intelligence, was de- ivered by him oftener outside of South Victoria than in the riding, and we are ware that this literary effort was receiv- ad with attention and pleasure wherever t was delivemd. The charge that he ‘ Ipoke against Sir John Thompson, as a 3atholic premier, with Protestants, and igaimt Sir Mackenzie Bowell, as the ‘Orange premier," with Catholics, is a gqually false, and that statement that Mr. n rejoiced that his enforced retire- t relieves him from handshakings farmers’ wives, is too absurd for con- and they would not sell.

'fhst and ordinary enough, but in a moment of weakness Mr. Barron said that Mr. Hughes is not so strong as he once was. With this statement for a textâ€"and every- body has heard it over and over again from conservatives in the north, high and lowâ€"Mr. Hughes says many things of Mr. Barron, all of them equslly mean and untrue. It is a favorite weapon of the Warder’s to bring in the matter of religion in attacking an opponent, and of course what he says of Mr. Barron in Ordinary people naturally associate with the islea of membership in that honorable body, the Canadian house of commons, a sense of truthfulness too honest to mis- represent, and a quality of honor too lofty for the creation of occasions to asperse the character of a former political oppo- nent who is not in active political life. Such an association of ideas, however, is entirely at fault when the conduct of the member for the north riding of Victoria is under examination. In last week's Warder Mr. Hughes takes advantage of an interview with Mr. Barron, which ap- peared in the Toronto News a fortnight agO, to pen one of the most ~vicious and unjutifiable attacks he ever made on that gentleman. The interview was innocent names. We bespeak a large and profitable convention. Owing to the very inclement weather on Friday last the reform convention advertised to take place at Coboconk was postponed to Friday, Feb. 22nd, one week from to-day. Every sub-division in the riding should have its full complement of delegates and alternatives at the con- vention in order that the strongest can~ didate may be selected. to apioint delegates and alternatives N OR TH m the caning! 0‘ 133° sum 1 Result (1) LARGER CASH SURPLUS.

[To the Editor of Tm: Pear.) 513,â€"! am compelled to believe that the owners of the Lindsay waterwcrks and their local friends are bound to make another dash for our treasury. If the works are such good value, why this per- sistent anxiety to sell them? Of all people in the world banks and insurance com- panizs are the last to part with a grafltable investment. I am surprised that a few members of the council are still movug tor 8» by-Iaw 39 be §Hbmitted t9 the rate payers §° motion the purchase of the works. The people heard nothing of this at the time of our municipal elections, a few weeks ago. A municipal vote means annoyance, loss of time and expenditure of hard cash. Who will foot the bill? Our hardworking honest people during these hard times are not in a position to squander good money. We heard last year that a private com pany, formed in this town, was to buy the worksâ€"it was such a grand chance. But, oh, misfortune! the parties in Hamilton had become suddenly awakened to the enhanced value of their Lindsay property and they would not sell. Bah! Do these pushers of ours think that we are all blind ? Indeed. facts have accumulated in con- nectlon with the waterworks Which would lead to the conclusion that we do not keep our eyes sufficiently open. First cf all, our old system at waterworks is completely gone from us. (I am open to correction if I am misinformed) It was by common consent valued at $10.000â€"it wasgiven up or deeded over to the Lindsay Water. works Co. The town received the same amount of the company‘s stock. So tar so good. But the whole stock of the com- “mm“ mam”. Mr. T. J. McBribe, the Northwest. manager for the Massey-Harris C 0., boasts in the public press that during the past few years no less than eighteen agricul tural implements firms have been driven to the wall and compelled to go out of business. That there may be no doubt as to the truth of this statement he gives‘ the names of the firms. The crowding out referred to is one of the results of the consolidation of the Massey-Harris firms, and his powerful combine is alluded to on public platforms as a sample of the praise-worthy industries fostered under the N. P. A huge business is concentrat. ed in Toronto, while eighteen towns of the Dominion mourn the financial wreck of firms employing hundreds of men in many cases. The farmers of this sectionof the province should place their orders with the agents of S lvester Bros. M'f'g Co., of this town. an so ogpose a barrier to what is a grasping an monopolistic concern. No won er Massey is able to donate a $100 000 music hall to the ciry of Toronto. The Mail and Empire says: “In North Victoria. the government is attacked by a liberal paper, 7H3 LINDSAY Pos'r, on the ground that it has not given the constitu- ency sufficient public works. THE POST declares that the Fenelon Falls bridge was arranged for during Mr. Barron‘s time, who was a liberal, and it asks : ‘ What has been done since ‘9’ To this question it an: swers, ‘Nothing for the general public.’ Here is an attempt to incite the electors against the government because it has not been extravagant."....'fnn LINDSAY Pcs'r did not attack the government on any such ground. The Mail and Empire does not raise itself by thus distorting what THE Pcsr did say. THE POST was simply ridi suing the absurd efl‘ort of Mr. Hughes to secure for himself the nomination of his party by claiming all the world. Once upon a time there was a man vain enough to call upon the sun to stop in its course so as to let him resta little longer in bed. 'Nufi‘ said !” was presented by his Protestant friends with a handsome ebony gold-headed cane an a. mark of their respect. To hinder and prevent such coming together of tne creeds in the bonds of christian fellowship is the mission of Mag. Sheppard and others of her ilk. The Farmer's Sun, the patron organ, figures that the maintenance of the senate represents an annual cash outlay equiva- lent to the produce of 11,000 acres of wheat, yielding 20 bushels to the acre and seUing at sixty cents a bushel. This is a striking way of calling attention to a great waste. Hamilton Times: Margaret L. Sheppard, the notoricus, has turned up in Bufl'alo, where she appears in the role of converted nun, and works the same game as she did in parts of Ontario. A copy of her ‘ con- fessions" as made in the witness box in Toronto would be “good readin'” for the Bufl'alonians. Rev. John Connolly, Roman Catholic priest at Biddnlph, was recently removed to Inzersoll, and prior to his departure The overdue French liner Gascoigne, about. which so much anxiety was felt, reached New York on Tuesday morning last, eight days behind time. The delay was due to a broken pistoa rod and to terrific gales, which prevented repairs being made. The attack can do Mr. Barron no harm, and we believe it will not profit the editor of the Warden only so: as. ma using a; a...‘ m of m 7'“ tint he 3‘3 a. men they must elect. he m ere dubbed “lap! and troogsnfle‘na,’ sad the conserved" lenders in Kath Victoria. sre told that “they are too honorable to play my grit-jesuit gem,” (i. e., to set up or support my opponent to Mr. Hughes.) They are warned of the penalty for so doing. if these words means anything. “And. besides, they have the fate of all such too clearly stamped on history's page to be anxious to commit political suicide." If this warning to Dr. Wood and other independent conserve- tives up north is not 9 confession that the present member is not so strong as he once was, then we fail to decipher the intent of this impudent and presumptuous attempt to play the bully while he scatters sand into the eyes of the men of North Victoria.

As stated in a previcus dbpatch, arrange- ments are being made to ship a larger number of animals from the Mount colonies this year to further test the ques- tion, and the result of the experiment will be watched with interest. The Austra- lians seem to think thtre is money in the business.

Feb 15, 1895. Australian Live Stock in the English lax-net. . Particulars are now available of the result of the recent exparimente in the shipment of live cattle from Australia to England, and they will be interesting to our farmer readers. All animals from the Autipodean colonies are slaughtered at the ports of landing, owing to the admitt- ed prevalence of pleuro- pneumonia among the Australan herds. Seventeen animals are included in the account sales, eight Shortborns and nine Devons. The latter were very superior in qualiti, well above the average and equal to to t e beet cattle received from the United States. The Shorthorns were fine cattle also, but from a butcher's standpoint were too fat. al- though this seemed almost inaudible in view of the fact that the animals had travelled 12,000 miles. In consequence they did not brin so much per pound as the Devons e day's allowance of food per animal on the voy was 16 lbs. hay, eaten or lucerne, 6 lbs. 0 maize and 4 lbs. 0! bran. Three of the Shorthcrns (1092 lbs. each) realized 4 5-91 per pound, or £61 1s, and the remaining five, 1151 pounds each, 4!; d per pound, or £169 53 7d. Four of the Devors (weighing 8-13 lbe. each). brou ht sit! per pound, or £75 122‘ 5d; while e remaining five (weight, ... lbs. each). were sold at 5dper; 1b., or £96 111' UHUIUH w any on..- n â€"â€"- J not now it is true they have at the power house a man who is s gentleman and an engineer, end does his work.
