CHOWN, Sait THE DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18. i . Borden, the leader of the oppo- ition, is talking 'high tariff wherever goes. He seems to he anxious to the Manufacturers' Association, which has made a declaration of 'such ges in the tariff as will give them less competition from the out- side and larger profits. There may be something more in view. In the west, in the early days of the national policy, the leader of the same party directly appealed to || the manufacturers for substantial aid. Once he Was reported as saying that the govermment was shaking down the plums and the people who gathered them up should divide the rewards. He received the financial assistance on which he had figured--and it looks as. if his successor, (in a long line), has the conviction that he must do a little tree shaking in the hope that he will get a share of the fallen fruit. He may be deceived, and he will not get very much sympathy in his dis- appointment. THE CASE GOES ON. It is not certain where the report originated, but it was current and to the effect that the case of Kingston vs. the Light, Heat and Power com- pany would not. be heard until 'the fall, until perhaps November. Mr. Me- Intyre, the city solicitor, has gone to England, in behalf of the city's inter- ests, and he did not leave before ad- vices had been received, from his Eng- lish agent, that the hearing would oc- cur at an early date. The appeal will be expensive enough, and it is adding largely to the expen- diture which has been already incur- red. The costs of the arbitration were paid by the city. It was so ordered by the judges. But two successive ap- peals have been forced upon it, and appellant will have to meet the ex- penses should he be the loser. To be sure he may have figured on all this, for the company has had the use and earnings of the plant meanwhile, and it has been exceedingly remunerative. Granted that the privy council will make an award in favour of the city, what then? The council should have a plan of action mapped out. It should proceed on the presumption that it will have to deal practically with the business and before the year has been very much advanced. -------- GETTING READY FOR ACTION. The letter of the dity solicitor, in re- gard to fire protection and the neces- sity of insisting upon it in connection with all public buildings and places where the people congregate, is now under the consideration of the city council. The by-law which was pre- pared in 1902 was in accordance with the best light which was then to he had upon the subject. It was sugyest- ed bythe by-laws which were in op- eration But the Chicago fire has since occurred, and it has brought new perils into prominence. The Quebec building inspector, the Montreal city inspector, and the chief of the fire department have had the subject under consideration, and they recommend the introduction of the wa ter sprinkler, the special curtain, the fire alarm system, 'the electric lighted exits, and the fire escapes in connec- tion with the theatres. Other places are moving in this matter, and the city council of this city will be very remiss in its duty if it does not do something in anticipation of a fire and its wreck in Kingston. The disposition is to ask for a spe- cial report on the condition of all churches, schools, halls, etc, and especially a report concerning the pos- sibility of a safe and hurried empty- ing of them in the event of fire. When this report has been prepared ihe council will be in a position to -deal with the issue intelligently and di- rectly. elsewhere, EDITORIAL NOTES. Do the firemen have drill and when? There are some citizens that might go up town to see it. The fire department is now under criticism, The new committee may im- prove it, end the work is worth the trial, Grippe, as an epidemic, appears fo be subsiding. The great cure, with some people, is whiskey and quinin»-- and, to some, the disease is preferred before the remedy. The new liquor law in England has proven a great failure. It went too far, and contained details--in the pho- tographing and practical muzzling of topers which could not be carried out. ' Some of the churches are not de- signed for a hasty dismissal of the congregation. Were a panic to set in there would be serious consequences. The special report the council will ask for may work the desired remedy. The medical men are making a de: termined set upon pneumonia, which is epidemis in New York. It is de elared to be infectious. Have tke Sunday schools any fire drill? Why should they be exempt from the precautions which are con- sidered so necessary in the public schools ? About $10,000 has been already ad- vanced by the city on account of the electric light case. Most of this will be charged against the arbitration should the privy council decide in favour of the city. Mr. Ingram, M.P., would like the farmers to weep over the failure of the dairy business. Failure? A revenue last year of $30,000,000 fro# butter and cheese, and only $14,000,000 in 1902, Does that look bad ? The stock which the employees of the United States Steel Corporation purchased, for $87.50 per share is now selling for about $50. The men are letting the stock go, and some 12,000 of them are losing all they have. IN OUR OWN CIRCUIT. News of the District on Both Sides of the Line. _ Dr, Oronhyatekha who has been ill is expected at his home in Deseronto for a couple of weeks, D. W. Ball, an old resident of Bath, and late postmaster there, has re- moved to Watertown, N.Y. James Birrell, Napanee, underwent another operation in Kingston . last week, and is expected home soon. Announcement of the marriage is made of Thomas Hugh Whelan, of Fernie, B.C., to Miss Jennie Marie Laveque, Deseronto, to take place at Napanee on January 25th. Burglars broke into the residence of Mrs. John A. Shibley, Napanee, on Wednesday night last. Before leaving town Mrs. Shibley very prudently re- moved her valuables and had them stored in a safe place, so the thioves received nothing for their trouble, and departed empty handed. Mrs. (Dr.) Booth, residing with C. B. Parks, South Napanee, fell down the stairs last Saturday night. In falling her left arm cancht between the rungs of the bannister, and her wrist was badly fractured and her hip injured. Mrs. Booth had taken one of the children upstairs to bed, and thinks she fainted at the top of the stairs, when returning. After an illness lasting only one week, Martha Foster, a life-long and highly esteemed resident of Bathurst, died on Thursday. Her death was due to congestion of the lungs, dropsy, and heart trouble. Miss Foster was born nearly seventy-four years ago. Two sisters survive--Mrs. James Fr- win, 11th line, Bathurst, and Anna Jane on the homestead. The Late Sheubar Clapp. Napanee Beaver.

GET T0 WORK SMITH'S SPEECH MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION ON : LISTENERS. ; Dr. Currie, Picton, Bowled Along in Fine Fashion and Won Con- gratulations--A Very Bright Liberal Caucus--A Lively Time Receiving Members. Toronto, Jan. 15.--The legislative Session was set a-boomering ~ along to-day by a very prompt moving of the reply to the address by the new member for Sault Ste. Marie district, Charles Napier Smith, . whose clear voice and excellent delivery, with good matter to back them, established him as a worthy acquisition, whose im- pression upon the electors had been based on solid qualities. His exposi- tion of the mineral, timber and indus- trial wealth of New Ontario, of its gratitude to the government, and of its requirements for further develop- ment, was a formidable as well as substantial presentment with which to vitalize a speech generally of the most formal nature. He was so en thusiastically received the house was in good spirits to hear Dr. Currie, of Prince Edward, whose maiden speech at the close of last session gave birth to regrets that he had not been heard oftener. He bowled along in lively fashion, pointing out how well the government's policy had heen receiv- ed, how fruitinl of benefit it was, how it had been the friend of the farmer, how it was hel ing the country vast ly by various aids to technical educa- tion, and how valuable the appoint- ment of country physicians would be, in meeting epidemics, in suppressing their causes, in inspecting foods, and in making schools more sanitary. His peroration was a step to the higher tights. He held up the Canadian fu- tme and the national ideal--the suc- cess of northern as compared with southern nations, and claimed that Canada was entering a grand trium- phal course to take her place as the greatest branch oi the grand British supremacy, with Ontario as the pre- mier province of the empire. He was heartily applauded and warmly con gratulated. The liberal caucus this morning was attended by forty-four members out of forty-nine available, counting out the speaker, and South Oxford being vacant. Three others were in '4he city and sent their loyal greetings ;Messrs. Cameron (of Fort William), and Bar- ber, will arrive on Monday. The cau- cus was the brightest for years and the most cordially united and re- solveful. The government were assured of close attendance and reasonable consideration. Chief whip Bowman be- ing far from strong, he was given three lieutenants, as is done in the House of Commons--Auld for the first row, McCart, the muscular, for the second line, and Tudhope for the back concession. Tudhope and McCart had won constituencies from the enemy, while Auld has a record of having, in a long service, never missed a divi- sion. The popular Tudhope, the Oril- lia carriage manufacturer, is, in the language of George Armstrong. of Kingston, "the fellow that looks like me." So much alike are they that they have each been mistaken for oth er repeatedly, even by the mother of one of 'them. The Kingston end of this twinship has no kick to offer, no doubt, save on politics, and they are there as wide apart as thé polls. The reception of new members yes- terday was one of the liveliest dem- onstrations for years in the chamber, as the three were all heroes, having wrested a citadel from the enemy. It was a great day for the opposition, since it was a weary length since they had won a bye-election in a recess, and the privilege was sweet. They also had reason to be proud of their champions in Muskoka and North Renfrew, since their personal aualitics had more to do with their brilliant successes than the wild Gamey crus- ade or the conservative propaganda. The liberals gave their gallant victor of the Soo a warm reception, deserv- ed as a man and a warrior. The general coniment upon the open: ing of the session solidifies itself into an 'expression of uncommon brilliancy and interest. The new governor, from a retired and retiring gentleman, has blossomed into a popular host and leader, drawing round about him a friendly, wide and loyal circle, No bet- ter tribute could be offered to his fair qualities, than the attendance at the opening in the midst of bitter, even unjust, conservative attack. T The one cloud upon the spirits of the reform contingent, is the loss of Andrew Pattulio, the eloquent mem- ber for South Oxford, the best in- formed member on municipal and all- round matters outside the cabinet. He was equal to any emergency of debate and gave a manhood of usefulness to public service, filling numerable and appreciated places. By none was he so well known and so truly appreciated as by his seven liberal fellow journa- lists of the house, who were re-elected together without a break in their ranks, and who thereby felt the touch of fellowship deepened. To them there is a vacant feeling that time alone can fill with its absorbing interests. George P. Graham, M.P.P., intends to ask of the ministry if they have considered the question of free text books for use in the public and separ- ate schools of the province, and ii there, will be any legislation along that line during the present session. Mr. Graham introduced this question Jnto the house two years ago and has been investigating it in the meantime, with the result that he has collected considerable data. 'The issue recently came into some prominence in the North Renfrew hye-election. Hon. Frank R. Latchiord has taken action for libel against a portion of the Ottawa press and one of its pub- lic men for as bitter an attack as was ever sent forth, one whigh only a feeling of intense excitement or bit- ter disappointment could produce. He has received one very humble apology, but a private regret is 'never an atone- ment for a public wrong. The com- missioner of public works is "as square as they make them," to use a slang yet expressive phrase, yet cannot af- ford to ignore even a. mad dash at his integrity. OFFERED A PLACE.

New York, Jan. 16.--A dispatch from London says George Dixen, the ex-featherweight champion, who has been boxing in England for the past year and showing much of his old- time speed and cleverness, is to meet Cockney Cohen at Newcastle to-night. They are to go fifteen rounds 'at 122 pounds. The two recently fought ten rounds to a draw. To-night's bout will probably be Dixon's last bout in England, as he intends to come home soon. Sporting men who have recently returned from the other side are au- thority for the statement that the colored boy has broken loose from his prodigal habits and as a result has accumulated another tidy little fortune since he crossed the water. Gained Ten Pounds His Weight Increased Many Pounds. His Health And Strength Completely Restored By Ferrozone The Great Food Tonic. A. L. Godfrey is well known 'te everyone in Victoria, where he has been engaged in business for many years.

From Nelson, B.C., comes the strong- est possible proof that Ferrozonme is fresh-making, strengthening remedy. Mrs. G. C. Alker writes: "A fon months ago I was run down, tired anc nervous. | had once before been Lone fitted by Ferrozone, when living Boston, and started using it. again Ferrozone at once gave me a splendid appetite, toned up my nerves, and act ually made me fat.
