The constitution of the investigating committee was changed from that given in last week's issue and the names of Messrs. Hellman and Rob- son substituted for Messrs. Bernhardt and McTague. The Committee as now constituted is composed of Messrs. Clare (Chairman), of Preston; Hall- man, of Wilmot; Walter, of Wellesley; Wilkins of Galt, and Robson of Ayr. We trust that the whole matter of the management of the Poor House will be thoroughly investigated and il) This question will probably again come to the front. Waterloo Town- ship has again complained, we under- stand, to the Provincial Board of Health, of the contamination of the stream flowing, 'through Waterloo by the refuse run into it from the factories and cattle byres. The Provincial Secretary Mr. P. H. Bryce was here on Monday and examined, under oath, the Chairman and Sanitary Inspector of the WUterloo Board of Health. What the outcome will be we cannét say at present but our citizens need not be surprised if a perpetual injunction is issued to restrain various parties from running the refuse of their factories, into the stream. Should this be the case we cannot afford to put off the) construction of a trunk sewer any long- er as it will then be imperative. The Supreme Court gave judgment on Saturday last allowing the appeal with costs from the Ontario Court of Appeal. This will no doubt end the suit and the County will be compelled to build and maintain the bridge in dispute at New Hamburg and foot the bill of costs of all the litigation. POOR HOUSE INVESTIGATION The policy of the Liberals, at the present juncture, is to foster and en- courage home manufacture, not to 'protreet' it. If you 'protect/ a. child agaitvsdthe free winds of heaven, it may indeed seem to be fat, bat it will only be bloated, sickly and doomed to permature decay. If you 'protect' a manufacturer ngainst the stimulus of healthy competition, you may indeed distress the taxpayers by spoon-feed- ing him at their expense but you will develop a morbid growth of over-pro; duction, combines and strikes which) will in the end ruin the manufacturers themselves. The rate of the tax to be levied on any product, would seem, most happily for the national exche- quer, to be regulated by a very exact mathematical law. F ix the duty at, the rate which will produce the great» est amount of revenue, that IS such as will demand a large amount of impor- tation and bring down prices to the greatest benefit to the consumer'. This simple rule of raising the highest pos- sible revenue from such articles as it is desirable to tax at all, is one which seems to be a mere matter of common honesty in a country which is heavily in debt, and which professes to be guid- ed by the Book which says, Owe no man anything.'-Witness. Although the result of the elections in Germany bids fair to be close, it is be, Iieved that Chancellor Caprivi and his Government will get a majority of about ten for the Army bill, or, at least, a slight medification of it. The result so far: gives 166 ag,ainst the bill, and 150 favoring it, but eighty-one constituencies are still to be heard from. A striking feature of the elec. tions has been the great growth of the Social Democratic party, though this has been largely at the expense of the more moderate reform parties, who have had to give place to more aggres- sive and radical readers. Mr. Blake it seems is at issue with the Irish party and has temporarily retired from the committee of eight which manages the party. The differ- ence is on the Paris fund question. Mr. Matter, at present M. P. P. for Muskoka, has declined to be a earuli- date for the seat at the ensuing Pro, vincial elections. m has been living for some time in Toronto. 'HURSDAY.

Ab. 222, dismissing a motion by the plain- tiff for a new trial in an action of libel which was tried with a jury at Berlin and resulted in a verdict for the de- fendant. The alleged libel was con- tained in an article in the Berlin Daily News of the 7th of July, 1892, headed "A Public Disgrace,” and referring to the plaintiff, who was a councillor of the town of Berlin, as an "illiterate, half-baked crank." It also stated that the plaintiff did not seem to know that honesty was the best' policy, even in public matters. The defendant, the editor and proprietor of the newspaper did not plead justification, but the usual statutory defence of "fair com- ment." The court below held that evidence in detail of the truth of the facts commented on was properly ad. mitted at the trial in order that the jury might pass upon the comment. This court held that a great deal of evidence was admitted which was not properly admissible except; under a plea of justification, and therefore allowed the appeal with costs, set aside the verdict with costs, and order.. ed a new trial.

Moyer-Judgment on appeal by the plaintiff from an order of the Chancery Divisional court, (Boyd, C, and Robertson, J), 23, O. R. The meeting was in itself an attest- ation of the truth that Canada is one. Protestant and English-speaking men went into ecstacies over a Roman Catholic fellow countryman of French origin. New Brunswickers and Prince Edward Islanders embraced their Ontaio brethren, and the Quebec Rouge clasped hands with the Nova Scotia Grit. Surely a country peopled by partisans, who, forgetful of their many points of difference, can dwell together in unity for as much as two days, is the makings of a nation. So many men, differing in creed, nationality, residence and interest, had no need to supplement by word the national meaning of their acts. A gathering like that at Ottawa is in itself proof of the existence of a national spirit. Partisanship may not be the highest embodiment, it is an embodiment of the idea without which no country can live. Party is not the least among the formative influences that mast be relied upon in the work of upbuilding provin- ces into a nation. The Telegram, an independent Con. servative organ has the. following per- tinent remark with respect. to the re- cent Liberal Convention C--- The Liberal Convention at Ottawa last week was the first Dominion Coll- vention ever held by either party. The number of delegates present was over tut, thousand. The whole convention was one splendid ovation to. the leader of the Liberal party. Every province in the Dominion except British Colum- bia was represented. Among the delegates were Sir Oliver Mowat, Pre- mier of Ontario, Premier Blair, of New Brunswick, Premier Fielding, of Nova Scotia, Premier Peters, of Prince Edward Island, Attorney-General Sif- ton and ‘Mr. Watson, Minister of Agriculture, of Manitoba. In additibn to these there were the ablest men of the party throughout the whole Do, l miniont The platform adopted by the 'party will be found in the very full account given of the convention in the four-page supplement inclosed in this week's issue of the Chronicle. The platform is one that will be able to stand before the Canadian people upon its merits. In clear declarations for freedom of trade were expressions of, confidence in the ability of Canadians to hold their own against the world. l the committee will show a disposition to get to the bottom of things. By an advertisement found in another column of this issue the committee will meet at the Court House, Berlin, next Mon- day July 3rd, at 9 a. m. to proceed with the investigation. Any of our readers who know of the whereabouts of any former inmates that may have evidence to offer will confer. a favor by sending the address of such to Box 353, Waterloo, Ont.

The ladies have no desire to lead the Coun- cil , they merely wish to call attention to the fact that proper attention is not given to the inmates of the Poor House, and if the investigation about to be held does not accomplish somel good result, they will continue to work until a reform is brought about.-X. After this meeting of the Committee the keeper was informed of this arrangement, and the Warden told the ladies he would furnish them with an order to he allowed in it at any time they wished to pay such visit. Some Waterloo ladies a short time afterwards got an order and went to the Poor House. They told the keeper on that occasion that they did not wish to in, jure him but wanted a nurse appoint- ed. As a result of this visit they were convinced more strongly than ever' that the management was not what it should be, and that a change ought to be made. After this some ladies from Berlin obtained an order from the Warden, but when they presented themselves at the Poor House the keeper took it upon himself to disre- gard the order, and refused to admit them. The Committee could not see their way (clear to grant this request, but suggested that the ladies might, visit the Poor House at any time they chose to do so. The ladies did not want nor did they ask for this permission, and it was only in pursuance of the Commit- tee's suggestion that they afterwards visited the Poor House. niade. They made no charges what- ever against, the keeper, although they were aware of the rumors which had been circulating regarding his ill-tpeat, ment of and cruelty to the Inmates, but merely asked to have u matron or nurse appointed, offering to pay her themselves until the June meeting of the County Council, during which time it could be seen how the change would work. Having been satisfied for some time past that the Poor House was. not managed as it should be, and that the inmates were not properly looked after whenssick,someof the Indiesof Waterloo and Berlin took themntterin hand tuner, if they could not induce the council to appoint as matron some woman other than the wife of the Keeper. Before taking any steps they consulted same of the leading men of Waterloo and Berlin, who said the idea of such tt change was a good one, and that Mr. Itter should not object, as hisohjection to this step would show that things were not right. Some of these ladies saw the Wavden and having gut per" mission from the chairman. attended one of the meetings of the committee in order to ask for changes in the man- agement which they thought should he THE LADIES AND THE POOR HOUSE.
