We have had some experience in cut rates. We formerly shipped a large number of cattle from Kansas to Chicago. There was nothing we dreaded more than a rate war.

We have seen the rate go down to almost nothing, of course we took advantage of the" low rate to crowd our cattle in. Other shippers did the same and farmers who had from one to ten loads took advantage of the low rates and run his cattle. The result was that we were all there together, with an overstocked market that lowered the price mare than the entire amount of freight. This need not be the. case with the corn market, but it all depends on the farmers.

If they hold their corn and ship slowly, they will get the full benefit of the reduction. Our advice is "Go slow." w. J. newton, Takes Pleasure in Giving Satisfaction. JBo0tM 9 w.dE wer Peoples Jla-nh.

That time has passed, and in each and every case it is decid The Toronto District Council has entered upon an active anti-license campaign.

Each Council has been given the supervision of a ward of the city, with the responsibility of organizing the ward for the effort. The aims of the campaign are to make a thorough examination of the present lienses; the character the houses and the licensees, and put all such information in good shape to be utilized against tho reissue of licenses to improper houses and persons; to prepare petitions against the issue of new licenses; to thoroughly organize the temperance people that they may be represented in the mqst powerful and influential manner before the License Commissioners. The effort undertaken is a large one and if carried through with energy will be a great benefit to the causo in Toronto, and reflect credit upon the Order.

U. should have a motto that means something, Springfield (O.) New Era. We think the New Era is a little off its base. True when she comes to paying taxes she is on equal footing with the "sterner sex" and in many other things she may be considered a The govern ment would protect her from any undue interference in her rights as an American citizen. But' in a republican government, can an individual be a citizen, in the fullest sense of the word, who is deprived of his ar her voice in the laws by which he or she is governed We think that, until she is endowed with all the right and privileges of citizenship, this motto is an entirely pertinent one.

ROHR3AUGH, Vice Preset. no Mr. Republic, honest men dont do anything of the kind. ed on partizen grounds, regardless of facts. Look at the disgraceful scenes in the congress of United States.

The Republicans are determined to unseat a number of Democrats and to scut Republicans in their place, so that they may the more easily carry any measure they choose, It is no better where the Democrats are in the majority. Look at the Ohio Senate where the Democrats are in the majority. Lampson had a plurality of twenty three votes for lieutenant governor. His election was contested by Marquis his opponent, who was a democrat. The democratic senate ousted Lampson and seated Marquis.

There is not one particle of honesty in the proceeding, in either of the old parties. It is partizeuism first, last and all the time, while honesty goes to the dogs.

The voting will take place under the provisions of the Provincial license law, which permits a majority of the people to say whether licenses shall be issued or not.

The temperance people are very hopeful of success and have some very strong influences behind them. The Roman Catholic Archbishop Tache has declared himself heartily in favor of the movement and will use his utmost influence towards the success of the campaign. The Protstant clergy are a unit in supporting the Alliance in this effort. It promises to be a very important battle in the temperance history of the country. Mornioiiisra Must Go.

Writing in The Arena of Boston, Henry George says, truly enough, that "the rum powTer is a collossal villany, and a fearfully dangerous factor in the politics of the country. It controls the two great parties, runs their primaries, largely constitutes their conventions, and furnishes large sums of money from its enormous business and great profits asv' a corruption fund." He; is also correct in saying that the licencs system is what gives the traffic its power in politics. But we cannot agree with his statement that "there is Only one way of eliminating it from politics, and that is by doing away with all restrictions from the federal tax to the municipal license, and permitting free trade in ram." There is another way, and the only effectual way, and that is to prohibit the traffic altogether. We are opposed to license because the traffic is a crime which it is a crime to license; and because license entrenches and perpetuates the tr affic, and is the chief barrier to jn. Nor do we agree with Mr.

George's, opinion that the removel of all restrictions would result DIRECTORS: Geo. Shearer, Geo. W. Ford, L. C.

Clark died at the residence of Geo. Berge, five miles South-west of Ottawa, at the advanced age of 87 years. Mrs. Clark, who's maiden name was Davis, was born in Kentucky. At an early age she moved with her parents to Illinois.
