John Canuck points out that our sales to the United States are not increasing like our purchases ; while on the otherhand our purchases from Great Britain are declining while our sales to the Motherland are increasing. His well-handled statistics are startling. R. E. Kingsford makes an impassioned appeal to Great Britain not to neglect Canada in seeking United" States friend- ship. The third article. is by Robert McConnell, editorof the Halifax Morn-` ing Chronicle. He. makes an attack on the coterie of United States publicists who are actively`. endeavoring to force Canada into annexation to the United States. He exposes -their methods and `analyses theirsarguments.

A It is announced, not oicislly but pretty definitely, that Mr. Justice Rob- ertson is about to retire from the bench and that the vacancy will be lled at "once by the appointment of Mr. -Wil_- lism Lount, Q.C., of Toronto. Mr. J nstice Robertson has held his present position for about fteen years. He lives in Hamilton, for which city he wasionce. a representative in the Do- . minicn Parliament,--Star. ' In all thelarger shows of the ad- adjoining States the guard railing, the hands c' placards, and all such things have been removed. Shorter tables are used with an oicial stand- ing at the end of each table to see that nothing is carried away. .The judge is engaged and paid to stay in his depart- ment, throughout the show. Every- body is allowed access to the fruit, to pick it up, to examine it, and to ask all the questions he likes about it. The judge is supposed to be there and. an-. swer those questions. He can "give his reasons for awarding a prize in every case to one particular plate in prefer- ence to another. And he is generally called upon a hundred times to do it, as well as to tell all he knows a hun- dred times over about every` individual fruit. In this way much is learned by the public, and the agricultural show _is made a thing of special interest and prot. Canada is slowly dropping into line in the adoption of those methods at the larger shows. London this year led in the removal of all restrictions and the adoption of shorter tables which the public could surround and examine the truit at pleasure. At To- ronto every reasonable liberty is given to the public and the" fruit experts are constantly busy cutting, handling and explaining the different points about the exhibits, or specimens brought in for name. The sooner the county and all other shows fall into line the more will they be appreciated by the public. And what is true in the fruit depart- ment is applicable to all other depart- ments. Junans AT mms. The selection -of judges at fell fairs will_ probably he a subject of discussion at the annual meeting of the Agricul- tursl. Society, to be held in s few days." The selection of judges should receive the best attention of the different dis rectorstes, and the appointment should not be left until a. few days before the opening of the exhibition. In this im- portant work great care should be ex-_ ercised to secure as far as possible ex- perts to make swords in the different departments. The securing of com- petent judges is often it dlicult matter, as the best men are often adverse to being brought "forward, and as a. last resource inferior ones hsveto be_chosen. The chief T object of an agricultural show is -not to award somebody a prize for having an article in its particular` class better than anybody else. It is first of all a means. of education. To properly ll this its first and highest function, its chosen judges should be able and ready to ` give information about the product they have to judge. The judge might quite properly be on hand on the second` day of the fair, if not every day, to give any such infor mation as parties interested may desire.

The news of the death of Mr. Michael Stritch, an, on Thursday night last. as a result of an accident on the previous Satur- day evening, wasreoeived with very much regret, the deceased having enjoyed the re- spect of the community in which he had lived for so many years; Mr. Stritch came of a prominent family in County Clare, Ire- land, and was` born In November,,l82l. Two or. three years after his marriage to Margaret Crotty, of Limerick, he _ca_me to- anada with his wife and one child, and set led on a farm" in Essa Township. near Thornton, where they. lived until eighteen years ago, when-they tool: up residence in Barrie._ in youth and middle age he was strong and vigorous, but latterly as a result of severe illnessabout eight years ago, which necessari- ly tells heavily on a man at the three-score- and-ten period of life,` he did not enjoy his previous strength and vigor, though not con- ned to the house or prevented from moving about as usual. He was in his usual health on Saturday and had inst nished a hearty supper when he started down town, and in a few minutes was run over by a horse and cutter. The deceased was honest, unselsh and.kind,_qualities which won for him the esteem of numerous friends. He was a faithful member of St. Mary s church, and was regular in his religious duties. He was `a Separate .School trustee for a few x years. THE ELECTION PLUMPER. If one hundred electors vote in any given ward and only two candidates are to be elected out of three`or fouror `ve in the eld, there should be two hundred votes polled. Sometimes it is found that only one hundred and fty votes were polled. This indicates that fty plumpe'rsi were recorded; that is, fifty votes were withheld from some other candidate or candidates with a view to increasing thepluralityv of the "plumper candidate. The plumper vote legally may be all right inasmuch suit is not expressly. forbidden, but morally speaking it is wrong. `The. elector who plumps practically gives ' his candidate two votes, which is in direct violation of the principle-.-one man, one vote. - The deceased leaves a wife and the follow- I ing familtv--William,` of Kingston; Sister Dempna. St._ Michael s Hospital, Toronto; Sister Theresa Aquinas, Thorold ; Elizabeth, Scranton, Pa; Michael, fhomas, Margaret and Mary, -Barrie.` Two sons, John and Daniel. and one daughter; Jennie, are de- ceased. A large number of friends called at the family residenceon Friday to view thecorpse; the room in which it lay had been appropriately and artfully draped with black and white bunting, by the Sisters of St. J oseph s Convent, as a_ tribute of respect to a friend. Svmpathizing friends brought many oral olferings. The funeral took place on Saturday` morning to St. Marv s church, where High Mass was solemnized by Very Rev Dean -Egan, after which inter- ment took place in the family plot at the R. C. Cemetery.
