The Muck Rake Again. was an election of directors She othel day, and it was announced that Har riman men had won. What was up ? The people could not imagine untif the press ~ave out the facts. 1 The Journal of Commerce found that of the $21,156,246 which composed thd assets, there were bonds, stocks, wars rants and loans to the extent of about $17,000,000. In' the liabilities of above were "reserve" and "profit and loss' to the extent of $12,000,000. Which suggested that the company was not a carrying company but a banking institution, and worked for the benefit of those who controlled it. "Why," asks the Journal of Commerce, "should an express company accumu- late from its earnings a large fund to be used in loans and investments in corporate securities ? A considerable part of capital seems to be invested in this way; as it is not otherwise ac- counted for. Who benefits chiefly by those funds accumulated in surplus and undivided profits and put out in loans ? Is it the stockholders of the express company or those who have occasion for fund$ in the operation of railroads 7, Minofty stockholders complain that while the company earns thirty per cent. or more on its capital stock only eivht or nine per' cent is distributed in dividends, and' the rest is otherwise employed. They! evidently suspect that it is not ems ployed for their benefit, but for the benefit of those who manipulate the funds or lend and borrow them." Harriman is the chief operator of the Wells Fargo company, and his friends repulsed those who would know any more about the business than he was willing to hand out. When it was suggested that the man- agement be changed the Harriman: clique announced that the great rail-. way man could not be replaced since he moved in a world, or higher world, which the stockholder could not bet- ter. What i§ wanted in the express business is an investigator, who will ask. questions such as caused first 4 A scandals and then the reforms in ne] life 'insurance business. oA Tribute To Worth. There is some difference of opinion as to the place Goldwin Smith has'| occupied in Canada. The Globe, on his eighty-third birthday, referred to him as "the most eminent of Canadians," and some of our gontemporaries are inclined to add a modification. Cer- tainly the man stands pre-eminent as a scholar. He has given continual evi- dence of this fact, Not only in* books he has written, and especially law histories, but in his contributions to the magazines and newspapers. As a writer of prose he has excelled. There are many distinguished authors in Canada, but it is doubtful if there is one who surpasses this grand old man for lucidity and gracefulness of style, It has been always admired and studied. Nor is it only occasion ally terse or graphic. All Mr. Smith's works is finished and there has been nothing. more interesting in litera: ture than his weekly treatment of current events. He is pre-eminent, too, in his asso- ciatio "I talked," said he, "with the man who talked to the man who was premier of England in 1801--to Addington about Pitt. I remember the rejoicings in England over the great reform bill. I remember seeing the farm buildings near my father's house burned by raiders who opposed the introduction of threshing machines, 1 well remember as a lad seeing the ser- vants light the fire with a tinder box. I have seen a man in the stocks. I have heard the curfew bell." He lab- ored with Bright and Cobden for free trade. He has ever been independent in his views and he has been bold to assert them, though without a aymn- | pathizer, In Canada he has not heen idle. He has gladly joined with the people in} the consideration of measures working for the public weal. In educational is- sues he has been an authority. In the- ological subjects he has not been so popular. He has his own ideas of reli- gion, its place, trend and effect. On Some points he is at variance with the multitude. Politically, he is out with most people. His vision leads him to believe that Canada and the United States will some day be one, and un- der the government of the larger na- tion. His conclusions are his own, however, and he hurts no man in ex- Pressing them.

The resignation of Miss Gordon, as superintendent of the general hos- pital, has been placed in the hands of the chairman of the governing board, G. Y. Chown, to be acted upon as the management committee deems best. The question of reverting to the form- er system of having a medical super- intendent is to be considered at the governors' Scptember meeting, and the suggested change is likely to be carried into effect, as the hospital has not been conducted in a satisfactory manner, since the abolition of the of- fice of medical superintendent. The present superintendent, it is under- stood, wishes to allow a free discus- sion of the proposed changes, and tenders her resignation, to be acted upon as the governors deem best. -- Gave Her A Party.

New-comers and the younger people now understand why the older set in Picton speak so enthusiastical- ly of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson as host and hostess--their home was always an attractive spot for everybody when they were in the town some ago.

That was as far as his authority went, I the immigration officers had something else against the woman, they were justified, aceording to the United States immigration law, in refusing her admittance.

I8.--A pecu- liar pie fatal to cattle and hogs, {is prevalent in Matilda township. Severfl herds have been affected. Save- ral weeks ago the disehse appeared on the jarms of Messrs. Mullin and Zeron, and was, after a careful exam- ination, pronounced typhoid-influenza. The continuance of the malady, how- ever, brought further concern, and a government inspector visited the sec- tion, but failed to throw light on the matter, the animals which last suc- cumbed being too long dead to per: mit a diagnosis. Since the visit, al ready, several cattle have died in the | vicinity. The disease makes quick } work and is fatal in almost every case. In milch herds the animal sud denly goes dry, or almost so, and in many instances lives but a few hours thereafter. Huylers' delicious candies are manu- factured at the Toronto factory now.
