Death of Mrs. Bayfield
.. bead a One of our oldest and most highly re spected citizens has been removed from
earth. Mrs. Bayfield passed away this morning. She was an invalid for several years. But the immediate cause of her
death was apoplexy, of which she had a slight stroke yesterday, Her end was pain- less and serene. Mra. Bayfield was a wo- man whose actions were governed by prin- ciple. She was unostentatious'y pious and charitable. The deserving poor found in her a friend whom they will greatly mies.

“Down With All Boodlers.”
Tus is the strong seatiment which now pervades Canada. The country is deter- mined to abate the nuisance of corruption on the part of politicians, public contrac: tors, and public officials We must have @ thorough reform. It ought uot to cost thou- sands, or even hundreds of dollars to con- test an election. Leading men of both parties should unite to put down the vicious habit of paying large sums of money in order to gain a ‘“* seat.” This habit makes it necessary that a candidate, to succeed at an election, must first of ail be either arich man or a boodler. He must either have large amounts of money of his own to spend among the electors, or he must get the money indirectly vut of the publie exchequer. On the other hand, men of knowledge, ability, honor and virtue, who are not possessed of wealth,
tind it absolutely impossible to enter politics for the service of their country, and the country is thus at an inculculable loss) The prac- tices of the dishonest contractors who bribe the officials set over them, and the practices of impsca ous cflicials, who
extort ** commissions ” from those who fur- nish Government supplies, are equally dis- The
the
graceful and ruinous to the country.
Government will be supported by people in their efforts to pet a stop to such rascalities as have lately been exposed. But the strong voicejof publicgopinion must continually be heard against boodlers, andj in favor of honest practices

Notes and Comments.
—In the North American Review for September four doctors discuss the question of a cure fur drunkenness, and, as was to be expected with so many doctors, they dis- agree as to the possibility of such cure. After all is said and dune, only one sure and infallible cure fur drunkenness ever has been found, and that is not to drink any intoxicating liquor.
—The Bosten Herald, referring to the recent achievement of the C. P. R. in bring- ing the Japan mail to Londun in twenty- one days says: ‘* It will give an immense impetus to travel by way of the Canadian Pacific to China and Japan and to other parts of the east. To Canada realiy belongs the credit of this quick mail transit that brings three continents into closer coutact than they have been heretofore.”
~—-Quebee Chronicle: Mr. Foster scored a good point against Sir Richard Cart- wright, when he said that Canada has Jost a good deal of her population, during the last ten years, because the people had listened to the blue ruin speeches of that immaculate statesman and his friends, and, unfortnnately, believed them. There is sume truth in that. The fact is, the Re- formers have been preaching the doctrine of lamentation, woe, ruin and dissolution, ever since they went out of power, on their narrow trade policy in 1878. The country has been described by them, in season and out of season, as a place utterly unfit to live in, No wonder that the timid ones feared to remain to perish. It will take a good deal to bring them back. But Sir Richard Cartwright cares nothing for them. All he wants is to be Finance Minister again. He will have to wait for that.
~The Empire remarks that the *-Liberal” metnod of doing away with the public money differs according to the locality. Count Mercier, being a bold buc- caneer, diverts thousands of it into his yawning pocket by letting his party organ- ist cash a letter of credit. Mr. Mowat, a niuch mors “‘pawky” individual, and loaded down with ‘“‘evidences of Christianity,” carves out an unnecessary office from the public revenues in the district of Toronto, appoints his own son to it, who drew last year, according to the oflicial return just
the
brought down, no less a salary than $8,670. - j
23—more than the Premier of Ontario gets; more than the Prime Minister of Canada gets. Is not the public robbed as much in one case as in the other ?
—The Census Department at Washington continues to issue bulletins at intervals giving the latest details of the census. The latest to hand (bulletin 108) furnishes the particulars of Indiana’s pepulation. From this it is learned that the population of the State is now 2,192,404, against 1,978,301 in 1880, an increase of 214,103 or 10.8 in the decade. In the same period Ontario increased 1,926,922 to 2,112,969, a gain of 186,067 or 9.6 per cent., not at all a bad showing and comparing favorably with the neighboring State. Indiana is one of the richest and most fertile Statesof the A meri- ean Union, and stands high in the role of of agricultural communities, but no one there appears to think that it is retrograd- ing and that blue ruin stares its citizens in the face. Of its ninety-two counties no less than 25 show decreases in the popu- lations, while others are saved from that by the growth of the towns and cities.

acaieal At the Police Court this morning, 4 young man named Mathias Hutt, hailing from O'Leary, appeared on complaint of Arthur Newman, Livery Stable keeper, on acharge of larceny. It appears from the evidence that on the 7th August last Hutt visited Newman’s stables, and hired a; horse and buggy, s#ying he was going to drive out to the Union Road to some money owing him for wages. of going to Union Road, however, he di to Grand River, Prince County, and there succeeded in inducing a countryman to exchange horses with him, he, (Hutt) telling the countryman that his mother hau died that morning and he wanted a fresh to after his sister, whose presence was very necessary at che house of mourning. The young man appeared to be so deeply affected over the death of his mother, that the countryman did not have the heart to refuse him the horse. The young man was to be back with the horse that night, but although the obliging old rustic aud his

good wife waited up for him until after midnight he did not put
in an appearance. The next morning (Sun- day) the old man hitched up and weut out on the search for the strarge young man and his horse. In the English churchyard at QO’ Leary he found the borse and buggy ; but the young man wes not to be seen, he having taken to the when he saw the old countryman epproaching. The old man lost ne time about uotackling his horse, leaving the harness in the buggy. He waited about until the services in the church were over, when he searched out the elders to he explained matters in order to set himself right. Then he left for home with his horse. Newman, when he became aware of the facts, nad Hatt arrested. Hutt had nothing to say in answer to the charge preferred against him, His Honor sent him up for trial in the Supreme Court.

Horse Notes.
The little black stallion, Direct, son of Director, 2.17, beat all previous records of horses ip harness at Independence, on the 4th inst. He started to beat his own record of 2 09} at the pacing gait which he succeeded in doing in the unequalled time of 2.06, thus lowering his own inark, the mark of Roy Wilkes the fastest stallion record, beside that of the famous gelding Johnston made in 1834, when Joha Splan drove him in 2064. Director, the sire of Direct, is by Director, a son of Jay-Hye-See, 2.10, and Phallas, 2.133. The dam of Director is the great brood mare Dol!y, also dam of three more in the list including Onward, 2 254, sire of Crayton. The dam ot direct, 2 06, is Echora, 2 234, by Echo (sire of 13 trotters) by Hambletonian, 10. This breeding gives Direct two close crosses of Hambletonian, 10. The time by quarters made by Direct was, first quarter 32, half 1.14, three quarters, 1 36, mile 2.06, pacing the last quarter in 30 seconds,

The situation is far from being hopeless During the decade we have made satisfaciory progress io all that relates to the temporal well-being of the community atlarge. Wealth and industriel undertakings have multiplied, and relatively approach nearer to conditions of contentment than the people of any other
country under the 8"n, lor «example, our people are better off, as a whole, than the people of the United S*ates. Since 1881]
there have been laid the basis of far-reaching prosperity and national growth. Kailways have been extended everywhere at a com- paritively low cost to the country, owing to our high credit, and the means of distributing a large population are at hand. Our com. mercial and agricultural facilities are wnsur- passed. The rivalry for immigrants which was felt so strongly ia 1888 no longer exists on this side of the Atlantic, since the United States has comp'etely reversed its policy in this relation. hen they took active means of securing settlers; now they are just as active in trying to keep thent away.

The estimated cost of the Chicago World’s Fair to the day of opening, on pre- sent plans, is $18,000,000. The Chicago papers, that pledged the word of Chicagoans not to ask the Government for a dollar, are advocating the theory that the Govern- ment should contribute $6,000,000 of the estimated cust, and declaring that it is a poor national government that cannot give half as much as the city of Chicago. This is begging the question. Chicago agreed to raise all the money, and so far as Con- gress is the government that argument se- cured the location of the fair at Chicago,
