 iii mi .1^ il,' tl- m v.- I m I? G. W. Eutledge, Proprietor. MAEKDALE, AUGUST 28, 1890. IMPORTANT MEETING. A conference between the special committee, which was appointed by the County Council at its last session and the town of Durham, relative to the indebtedness of Durham to the County, or group, under Co. By-law 174, met at Flesherton on Friday last. The committee was composed of the Deputy-Seeve of Keppel, the Eeeve of Artemesia, and the first Deputy-Eeeve of Sydenham who met the represent- atives of Durham and Glenelg. The Eeeve of Glenelg has been for years endeavoring to straighten out this matter and has succeeded in bringing about this conference, the decision of which is that Durham is indebted to the Group from the year 1875 to 18- 86 inclusive to the amount of $2018 without interest. The committee with a desire to settle the matter were liber- al enough to make an offer of settle- ment for the sum of $1,500 and give Durham six years to pay it without interest. This liberal offer was not accepted. Mr. Moffat, Eeeye of Glenelg, and Warden of the County richly deserves the esteem and con- fidence of all Glenelg ratepayers as also the County Council for his energy, ability ond fidelity in looking after the interests of his township and the County at large. â€" A despatch £r cm Ottawa to the New York Hun says "The people of the Canadian Northwest are taking a de- cided stand against allowing Mormon settlers to come into the country, and threaten to take the law in their own bands and run them out unless the Government takes some active ineans to prevent the country from being populated with these undesirable people. It is said that the Govern- ment has been deceived, and not only is polygamv practiced in its worst form but owing to the clote proximity of the Mormon settlement at Lees Creek, with the Blackfoot Indian reserve, their influence upon the Indian pop- ulation has been most demoralizing. Arrangements are being made, at tlte present moment, lor the arrival of several hundred Mormons from Utah, and there promises to be serious trouble if this sort of immigration continues." NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Men are asking $65 a month for harvest work at Brandon, Man. â€" The Orange Grand Lodge of B. N. A. will meet at Kingston, Ont, next year. â€" The hay crop in Ireland is said to be ruined and the condition of cereals is bad. â€" A man 106 years old has been im- prisoned in the City of Mexico for beggmg. â€" The Bank of England has reduced its rate of discount from 5 per cent to A per cent. â€" The first of this season's oats marketed in Winnipeg brought 50 cents a bushel. â€" There have been about 8,000 cases of cholera in Japan, 60 per cent of which were fatal. â€" Two -thirds of the business portion of the west side of Grafton, Dakota, has been burned. Loss $90,000. â€" The Thousand Islands park hotel and about twenty other buildings were burnt on Thursday. No loss of life. â€" It seems to be taken for granted bv those in both countries who are supposed to know most about Govern- ment doings that the Behriug Sea dis- pute between Great Britain and the United States has reached a point where the American Government must arbitrate or else interfere with British vessels at the risk ot war. It is more probable that a close season of seals will be astreed to between the two nations and the question of jurisdic- tion over Behrmg Sea rcerely dropped. But in any case the presence of an American war vessel in Puget Sound has no more significance than the presence of British men of war in Esquimalt Harbor. The position of one war vessel in an advantageous place or a disadvantageous one would have as much influence upon the issue of a war between such nations as the United States and Canada as a single policeman would have upon the action of a mob in a great city not. Paget Sound is probably a cool and pleasant station for a man-of-war's officers summer. â€" The local newspapers do not share the feeling of the Eockland,N. Y., con- gregation who fell out with their pre- acher becHuce he playsd baseball, and criticise the objections to the clergy- man's athletic exercise in pretty severe terms. On this side of the lakes it is cot counted any disgrace for a member of the cloth to take an interest in out- door sports, provided they are proper- ly conducted, and many of our leading clergymen grace with their presence baseball as well as cricket matches. Some have even been known to par- ticipate directly in the sport, and in Great Britain cricketing preachers are plentiful. Wby should it be other- wise Athletic exercises, moderatly conducted, are conducive to health. If the body is rendered more healthy, the reasoning faculties, to which a preacher appeals, cannot fail to be improved. Why shoulh a preacher be expected to antagonize legitimate outdoor sports Bather should he give his countenance to them and strive to make them what they are calculated to be â€" health-giving and ennobling. â€" Canada barley has receiyed nat- ional prominence, thanks to Mr. Mc- Kinley and his tariff bill. The upshot of the matter is that owing to posses- siug favorable climatic situation, suit- able soil, and the knowledge and skill required to grow the grain to perfec- tion, our barley has become a neces- sity for high class breweries. It does not interfere with the sale of a bushel of United States grain for the simple reason that their native barley will not answer the same purpose. The ex- treme protective first proposed might have shut us out from growing six- rowed barley, but at the same time it would have proved rainous also to the U. S. brewing interests that" require some 11.000,000 bushels of our barley annually to keep them going and rep- resent iovested capital of many mil- lions of dollars. In this instance our barley trade is for the present quite safe, and if our cousins across the border wish to have high class malt liquors they must still continue to pay the duty on Canada barley. Thelittle tarift' scare has only put us in the way of another market in Britain, for we have reports from all quarters that the two-rowed barley sown last spring is turning out a success beyond expect- ation. and furnish a cow for a stipnlated period to each family. Western farm- ers are not doing very well, but at least they are prospering sufficiently to keep up the value of their lands. The condition in New England bears hard ly upon the home market theory. Here are these farms, next door to some of the largest cities of the continent, yet the land for some reason, is worth less than nothing, supposing that the im- provements are worth anything. owEi^ soui^a) ^e-Opens Mon., Aug. 25, The Best Equipped Scliool in the Province A STA7F 07 SEVEV SFECZAUST8.
