The Municipal Act allows township councils to pass by- liws regulating the placing out of fires, but this towDsbip has never acted upon Its prerogative in this r(- aaid. THE NEW TARIFF The new Fieldin;? tariff,supplicd us last wetk, would, if the GioLe were to Le bflicvod, create a golden era in 'tbis country. The Globe announces it as 'the death of the N. P.,"' a "rebuff to high protection" and says that "adaj of freer tiade dawns at last." "Freer" trade is a qualifying tortn used to let tha party down easy from the straight fiee trado policy «\hich has been its priuqipal plank during the past twenty yeuis. Dur- ing that time the Conservative party Lave continued to make changes in the tarid where necessity demanded. This is actually all that is done under the new Liberal taiiff, only that iu â- order to redeem their pledge more B'.veeping chai.gOB have been made. Ill Older to do tliix, liowiver, the welfare oi home industries liive been lemcQiboivd to a considerable degree, though not suffiiiifiitly in our esiiuia- tiou. Tiio barb wire iudnstiy, fjr iiirftanc'j, appeat-ii to have been «?C6troytd under the new tariff, while coal oil, the price of which lias been a continual complaint by the Iteforni l arty, has been reduced only 1 cent a gallon, bucaii.sc "it was found tiiat the industry could not stand a farther re:luc'ion." We quote from the Globe: '•The Ciovtrnioent felt tlmt to go further would be to destroy I'otrolea and its indiiHtiicB, and that this was a responsibility that could not bo lightly assumed We have foiitcred â- ihese indnntries on a prottctionist baKis under Liberal and Conservative Govcrnm?nts,aud it is bard and even perilous to sinnmarily force a binu- iicss 80 established down to a free trade level, and especially so in the teeth of the great Standard Oil mono- poly." 1 hat is a stong a admission tor the Globe to make â€" it is an ad- mission that free trade is and always lias hern a nightmaro.an impoHsibiliiy ijo the party is consoled by calling it â-  a "freer" trade than that which the country enjoyed under a Conservative tariff. Wliiro the freer trade coinos in it is diOB^nlt indeed to understand. Tiierti has been a reairangiiig of the tariff, with the duty on soiuo articles reduced and added to on otiiei's, but it . still remains on tho basis reared by the Conservative party in 1878 â€" that of protection to native indii.stries. That is no doubt tho reason why the London Times cabled a mo3;mgo of Congratuluticni to Mr. Laiirierâ€" it was glad to discover that he was a pro- tectionist, something no one hcietu- fore thought poBsiblo. The electors of Toronto will vote on Batinday, May 16, on the question of whether streetcars shall be run iu that city on Sunday or not. The Sunday cars have been voted on before and defeated, and a aiuiilar fate no doubt awaits them on this occasion. Latest reports from the seat of war indicate that the Turkish army is on a victorious march through Greek territory, and that the Greek forces aie fleeing before them in every gen- eral engagement. This is sorrjwful news to ua all. It is not likely that tho war will last many days longer in its present form. A few days ago Canada and the United States were engaged sending donations to the suffering victims of the Turk. Now tho donations are going to the Greek coffers to help that brave little country to whip the Asiatic blood sucker. A dcspalch horn London says : The war has opened wide the purses of tho Greeks abroad and quantities of drafts from ii,h to £00 aie coming from the United States and Canada for the Greek difense fund, I'lobably close upon i" 1,000,000 has par.sed through London for Greece duiiiig the past three weeks. A prominent London banker said : " Wo only represent four United St.rtos and Canadian bau1((! from which thenc pinall drufts come ; but if these rcprestnt any- thing like a fair projiurtion of the suni.^ forwarded by other Amcrcian banks, whicii v/o think is undoubted- ly tiic cafee, the total amount of money sent to Greece from America is already very close upon a million pound sterling, liesides these Amcii- can conlrionlions, tbo Greek merch- ants of London are forwarding large subsci iptions of money and material." The Daily Clirouicle and Star have opened fynda for the wouiidcd and tlie amounts f-ubscribed will bo sent to the Crown Priuocss of Greece. Everybody ..READ THIS..

Tiiereis not a new feature in it. The whole Btiuc'.uio was the woik of members of tho ('onseivalive party. 'J'his is plainly â€" even chceifuUy â€" admitted by the Globe.

Ilow are the mighty fallen I Under the manage- inciit of the lata Hon. (leo. Brown, tho Globe had dlniiions that wcro not changed simply to hold office. When he laid down a line of policy it was lived up to. The Liberals of Mao- konzio's time wore content to suffer defeat rather than stultify their rcc- oida or swallow their convictions. 'J'lio Liberals of I.jainier'a time are willing to do anything to hold on to otlico. That ia tho difference between tho party as it was and as it is, •WOOD'S I»HOSl?ITOr>rVE.
