Correspondents on the spot state that “ the mob would be ready to lynch the jary, and the soldiers are much more excited than they appear to be.” Paris is eviden‘ly under the worst of all tyranniess,—the ty- rany of the mob. Even the wheels of justice are stopped and foreed backward by prejudice and excitement, begotten of ignorance. If it should happen that the e‘oquence of his ceuneel should extort from the jury an acquittal of M.

Liberals, sends to that paper the following clipping as a reminder to the present gov— ernment of their past attitude on the Tariff Question and says, significantly —* It is actions, not words, that they are to be judg” ed by when they uext come before the people at the polls.” The clipping is: “Pembroke, May 15.—Mr. Laurier was ziven a splendid recepticn here yesterday. In aspeech he sail ihe question of all questions was the qnestion of taxation.

The Liberals held that taxation was in itself an evil, and wo government had } any right to take anything from | the earnings of the people, except

that which was necessary to carry on the business of the country. ‘But I affirm here this principle,’ he declared, ‘that the only measure of taxation legitimate before the eves of God or man himeelf, is that which is limited to the necessities of revenue,and not one cent more. (Cheers.) This is a principle upon which we contend On the side of politics to which I belong. On the other hand, the Conservative party have a different policy.

Montreal Gazette :} Conservative news- papers owe something of an apology to the Auditor-General. Mr. Mascdougall was always given credit for being a capital and } zealous officer, but is was sometimes hint ed that there was a partizan will behind his zeal, as evidenced in his annual account of the objections he made to payments the the Conservat:ve Government deemed just. He was, however, only jealous.

NATIONAL REVIEW,

We are in receipt of the February num- ber of The National Review, edited by L. J. Maxee, and published by Edward Arnold, 37 Bedford Street, Strand London, W.C., and 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Judgiug by this number, we should say that there is no British publication of the kind that is worthier the perusal of residents of Canada. It contains, in the first place,a well-written record of the expisodes of the preceding month. This includes an able exposition of the Chinese question and of British foreign policy generally. Then there is an article on Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s visit to Washington from the vir-lepen of the Hon. J. W. Lo ig’ev, Attorney General of Nova Scotia. This is followed by a descripticn of the Russian Advance on India, by the assisiant agent to the Gover- nor-General of India; an article on mining apd politics in the Transvaal; a resume of the month in America, by A. Maurice Low; a revier of the recent engineering struggle in Great Britain, by Benjamin C. Broome, and other articles by tir tac’aes writers, the whole being ended by a Colonial Chronicle ef the leading events and questions interesting the people of the British Empire throughout the world. We cordially recommend the Nationul Review to persons in this community who may desire a first class, up to-date, British pub- lication.

—The enforced resignation of the Spanish Minister to the United States ,— Mr. De Lome—js still under discussion. Mr. De Lome suff red because he wrote a private letter to a friend, and because the liter wae stolen.

PURK RAISING,

Info mation of Much Value to the Farmer. The following Jetter from the leading | Pork Packers of Ontario should be read by every farmer in the province: W.S Fisher, Eeq., St. Jobn Trade, St. Joun, N. B.,

Board of

Sir,—Replying to your letter of the 26:h January, in which you ask ua:

“What is the experience of the Ontario farmer in respect 10 fee ding? What feed have they found most protitable, and what feed gives the best results in regard to the quality ot product? and next, what breeds¢ of pgs have been found the uost eatisfac-

tory on the whoie?” We beg to advise as ft llows: Feeding—Not very Jong since, farmers

in Ovtario used to feed almost exclusively

whole peas, and perhaps the majority of

them gave them the ;eas in the strawf leaving the pigs to fied them, which of course they easily did. The effect of

pease alone js to make the meat too bard, and the fat somewhat gristiy; but, since the dairy business hss been followed se largely, both in factories aud private dairys, dairy slop with meal from various grains has been the prine pal ft ed, and has greatly improved the quality ofthe meat, making the lean more tender and the fat rich and luse'ous.

We do not claim to be practical feed- ers, but are ct opinion, in which we are confirmed by the best breeders and feeders, that the young pigs, until they are three oi four months old, should be fed on coarse food in summer—clover and grass, with a smal] quantity of granor meal. The pig runping at large causes them to grow long and ranvy and to develop bone. Without a fair share of bone there cap be no Jean meat or muscle. Several farmers bave told usthat sugar beets, boiled with a moderate amount of meal, aide in the development of the young pigs; and then, when fed meal entirely, they fatten very quickly, and this has been fouad to «be quite profitable.

Breeding—Uur presideat, some 10 years ago, had a large farm’ and imported a number of the improved large Yorkshires. Directly, this was a loss; indirectly, it bas benefitted our packing business very much, as the progeny of these pigs have been scattered #1] over the province, and @ cross with this breed is now the prevail- ing style. They make a capital bacon pig—long and smooth, and when fed, as described above, have an abundance of lean. Crossea withthe Berkshire they are admirable, but, as you ray, the former are altogether too fat.

The Taseworths are kept in Ontario in cons derable numbers and puresbrel they make an excellent export bacon-hog, but crossed with the Berkshires are not satisfactory. We bave been told that they cross well with the Chester white.

The improved Jarge Yorkshires do not suit pure bred. They are too long coming to maturity, and are too large. >

Yours truly. Tue Wa. Davies Co, Lrp.

RINK.

Dear Sirn,~Permitme to say that I consider the article from the Rink Mana: j gers in your daily, yesterday, personal and insulting, to eay the ‘least, in that they most directly insinuate that ‘‘skater”? is a “waltzer, etc.,’ and farther, made parti cular reference to “certain chronic gruamb- lers’ whom, because they complain of rough usage, are classed as being “impcs- sible to sa'iefy ” Mr. Editor “Skater” was warranted in saging every word his letter

THE

contained; and as for walizing and fancy ekating being complained ’

of,—I may say I know fora fact that it is very, very rarelv a fall on anything of the kind is caused by same. Farther, all for- mer Rink Managers encouraged waltzing. The fact that the band plays waltz music to every alternate number makes this al- most undeniab'e. In conclusion I would respectfully remind the managers that there is a rule against fast skating, but none ecainst fancy skating or waltzing, so that, having sold tickets, it is now too late ( for this season) to make any new rule ofthe kind.

As regards rough skating and careless tripping, etc., I would caution offendere;for if injury occurs they may have to avswer for 1t in @ way they little caleulate upon.
