It is all in one. 2. There are no loose parts whatever. 3. It can be easily cleaned, as the hand can be inserted in the bowl. :4. In no case during the past "year was its superiority more manifested than by its being awarded, amidst strong competition at the St. Louis exhibition, the first premium and diploma for best separator for farm use.

Members of the Opposition have talk~ ed so much nonsense about the Govern- ment's preferential policy that that they is. opposite to each other, and the only point upon which they appear to be thoroughly agreed is that, whatever the policy,‘it is bound to be wrong. There is one other point, by the way, upon which there is a fair unanimity of opin- ion in the Tory ranks, and that is in persisting that the Imperial Govern- ment offered Canada a reciprocal pref- erence, but that Sir Wilfrid Laurier spurned the offer, declaring that we nothing in return. a chance believer here and there. nection.

But Sir Charles Tupper, having once taken the plunge and turned the double- somersault, is not inclined to pursue any half measures. and, realizing that desperate expedients- are necessary to recover the ground which has been so completely lost in the Province of Quebec, he goes down to the Ancicn' Capital, and there declares for Canadia . independence. as against the ultra im- perialism of the wicked Grits. l-Ic con. jures up terrible consequences if this imperialism is not checked, not the least of which would be an attempt by the British Parliament to tax the col- onies; he had even figured out that Can- ada's share of that taxation would be about equal to her entire revenue at the present time, and much more in the same strain, equally imaginary and quite as absurd. Sir Charles has taken some wonderfully sharp turns during his long and checkered political career, but in his present endeavor to pose as a strong anti-imperialist in Quebec, while still appearing as the star performer in an ultra-British comedy in Ontario, he excels himself.

Some years ago a small building was erected at Hall's crossing as a shelter for the travelling public, and there was a window put in it, and a. year'or so later the glass in the window was broken, but was replaced. Recently the glass has been broken again and the door torn off its hinges twice. The last depreda- tion was committed on Sunday after- noon, the 8th inst. We havi: been work- in;r on this case, and find that these hoodlums live between Hall's Crossing and Cameron. We have known people just fit for the asylum who could do such things and not half try. If we could only get their names. we would advise the G. T. R. Co., and they would be handled without gloves. A very enthusiastic meeting was held on Good Friday for a good purpose.
