The cther day, during the storm, a somewhat respectable looking young man drove up in front of one of our hotels and proceeded to tie his jaded horses to the nearest post. This done. he went into the hotel and probably made himself comfortable. There is nothing wonderful in al1 this, but 1 wish to remark that this man left his horses exposed, without blankets. to the Storm. Passing that way about half an hour later, I saw these horses still standing in the selfsame spot, but now shivering in,‘ the cold. I could not but reflect that a man who takes comfort himselfandf leaves his poor dumb bruites exposed in this way, is the worse brute of, the two. In some municipalities, there are bylaws making such ne-l' glect a crime punishable by a heavy? fine or imprisonment. If we h‘avel no such byolaw in Durham. then let} us have one at once and let it be! strictly enforced. A man who leaves his horses shivering in the cold while toasting his own shines beside a warm fire or boozing with boon com. panions beside a bar. has too little soul and too think a skin to call forth either sympathy or consideration ,. even if visited with the extremestlJ penalty of the law.

A man who takes advantage of a family ofshivering children to put the price of wood away up, and then brags about how much the load came to. hasn’t much soul in him. but even in the virtuous vicinity of Durham some such cattle are allowed to run at large. Such a man is not only soulless. but dishonest. and no time should be lost in an efl'ort to osnacize him from the community. Lying isa poor business a: best, and a man with a poor memory 7‘ ___l|__ If we got. a four dollar bill instead of a one, and didn’t know who gave it to us, we’d be afraid to advertise it, for lea.“ the claimants would be so numerous that we couldn’t meet the deumnds. We didn’ t get the four, however. so no applications may be made. When a man sells a cord of wood, it seems strange to learn that he has to allow three-quarters of a cord for the holes he made in the piling of it. There’s a knack even in piling wood now-a-days. If a. man tells us he can’t afiord to take a local paper we can readily be- lieve him in an hour or so afterwards when we see him staggering home drunk. undertake the task. The idea that we should return to the old plan of whip- ping for certain crimes is gaining ground, not only in this country, but in other civilized countries. There are certain juvenile crimes which indicate such a low moral sense, such blunted feelings and perverted notions of the rights and feelings of others that a sound flogging would seem tobe the only punishment that reaches the offender. A couple of weeks ago the action of a Kingston Magistrate was favorably commented on by the press for ordering the constable to inflict, on the bare back, with a leather strap, a sound flogging to a couple of hard- . ened young villains found guilty of a L certain crime. There is no doubt that to a ceitain class of 1nc1p1entcr1m1nals this mode of punishment is the most effectivr pun entive and the best posi- i tive conectiv e that has yet been tried. . It is to them mow painful than im- 3 prisoninent. and more. disgraceful than E being sent to a Reformatory, Besides having the virtue of cheapness. which. perhaps, should not enter into the question. it has also the decided ad- vantage. of preventing the. i11earc¢_,~ra- tion, for longer or shorter periods, of youthful offenders with more hardened eriininalswa practice which invariably tends to produce the utter degredation of the younger criminal without any offsetting cmnpensation on the side of virtue and good morals. Up to-date journalism has radiated l to the very heart of Missouri. andl The Press of Salisbury thus warns off l all leisurely correSpondents: “Send' in your items of news when they are: fresh.

It is felt now that his influence is gone. “Therefore. we deem it our duty to place on record our strongest condmnnation of the conduct of the said R R Gamey, and we believe it should be his imperative duty to support in every straight political issue the party which elected him, and to the fullest extent to which we represent this district, we desire to repudiate any wish on our part to have the slightest connection with one who is not faithful to our cause and policy, and we unhesitatingly ex~ press our loyalty to the policy and principles of the great Conservative party and our unbounded confidence in our esneemed leader, James P.

Gore Bay, Ont., Feb. 16.-â€"-A well attended meeting of the Liberal- Conservative executive committee for the Manitoulin district was held this evening, with B. H. Turner. Mayor of Little Current, in the chair. R. R. Gamey explained his position, which was practically an endorsement of that made public on Jan. 30, in a statement in which he declared that he would give the Ross government an independent support. as being in the best inter- ests of the constituency. that Mani- toulin would benefit by his change of front. inasmuch as he could induce the government to make changes in the present mining laws, timber and settlers’ regulations and appoint- ment of officials. and expressing the sentiment. “Manitoulin is my poli- tics.” The public were excluded at the meeting to-night.

And our prayer to the 'Ontario Parliament is that we want a just and equitable system of taxa- tion, that is we want all railway lands and real estate and all other assessable real property assessed taxed according to its actual value.
