We are of opinion that the real diffiâ€" culty. with Prof. Shaw was his desire to ~obtain full control of the Agricultural Department without responsibility to the Minister, the President or any :Other officer.. He persistently refused to be guided by the President, or to submit in any way to his authority, from the day of his appointment up to the present time. The President acted within his authority given him in the byâ€"laws in the instances mentioned. The commission received power to summon witnesses and take evidence «on oath and the evidence taken is printâ€" ed, together with the findings of the commissioners. The findings of the commissioners cover nearly three colums of closely set type in Saturday‘s Globe, we have only space at our disposal for a tew more important paragraphs as follows : â€" Prof. Shaw s Position. With reference to the instances of lack of harmony given by Prof. Shaw, first, those against the President and, secowd, those against the Minister of Agriculture, the evidence fully estabâ€" lishes the fact that Prof. Shaw had uo ground for complaint whatever. The instances given were most trivial in their nature, and had evidently been previously made use of by him for the purpose of poisioning the minds of the students against the President and the Minister of Agriculture. The report of the Commission. of Inâ€" quiry as to the Ontario Agricultural College and Experimental Farm has been printed and handed out for distriâ€" bution by the Department of Agriculâ€" tures The commission it will be reâ€" membered, consisted of Messrs. John Winchester, John Watterworth and John S. Pearce, and their duties, as stated in order to Council appointing them, were:â€""To inquire into and reâ€" port upon the want of harmony said to prevail in the Agricultural College and Expecimental Farm at the City of Guelph, amongst the staff, officers and others connected with the said instituâ€" tion, or some of them, and into the conâ€". duct of the said persons, so fac as the | commissioners may deem the interes‘s i of the institution to require." | ‘Your commissioners find the evidence establishes that the President was justiâ€" fied in all his actions in the instances referred to Prof. Shaw, and that they were of a more trivial nature. We fail to understand how any gentleman of intelligence cou‘d look upon such matâ€" ters as instances of lack of harmony on the part of the head of the institution, whose duty it was to keep an oversight of all matters connected with the outâ€" side ard inside departments. The President and Directors of the North Waterloo Agricultural Society have invited the Hon. Geo. A. Kirkâ€" patrick, Lieutenantâ€"Governor of Onâ€" tario, to be present at the Fall Exhibi tion which will be held at Berlin on September 26th, 27th and 28th. The Secretary, Mr. Benjamin Devitt has just received a reply from His Honor stating that he will be pleased to be present.

Why, the Mexicans use so much red pepper that when they die or get killed out on the plains away from the habitations of men, the coyotes will not eat their flesh or vultures disturb their bodies, beâ€" they cause are so thoroughly impregâ€" nated with the pepper.

His explanaâ€" tions as to the discrepancy in the acâ€" counts were most unsatisfactory, and fail to account for the overâ€"charges. The manner of rendering the account was well known to himself, and there were columns for putting down the items that he claimed to have paid out, but he neglected or ignored the same He kept the account according "to his own evidence, carelessly on slips of paper which he afterwards destroyed. His evidence on this subject was contraâ€" dictory in many respects, and although six months had not elapsed from the date of expenditure to the time of givâ€" ing his evidence, and all that expenditure _ made _ within _ fifteen working days he stated that he could not remember how the sum of $40 overâ€"expended was incurred other than by a general statement that he had paid out all he had charged. Have you any capsicum? asked a customer of a waiter in a lunch room near the centre of the town a few days ago. The waiter stared and it was clear he did not know what capsicum was. ‘I mean red pepper, said the customer. ‘I want it to season my soup.‘ . He was soon supplied with the article. ‘I never use anything else to season my soup,‘ said the customer. ‘Capsicum is medicinal and is invigorâ€" ating to the stomach while black pepâ€" per is poison. Tt enervates the stomâ€" ach. Your cominissioners have set forth io this regard certain facts that were proven against Prof. Shaw ; first, the purchase of his own. cattle after his apâ€" pointment in the name of his servant, and without the knowledge or consent of the Minister or the President, and in direct violation of the byâ€"laws of the instituions. He won the confidence of the stuâ€" dents in many ways, some by giving them employment at the expense of the Government as drivers, others by showing an interest in their welfare, and then mentioning his grievances, giving them to understand that he was a muchâ€"rbused man, and that he was unable to do for them and the farm as much as he would like because his powâ€" ers were being curtailed by the Minisâ€" ter and President, who were oppressing and hampering him in the way above indicatea. Prof. Shaw was warned by Minister Drcury of the dangerous results of such conduct shortly after his appointment. It was pointed out to him by the Hon. Mr. Druty in a letter dated December 13, 1889, that "nothing can be more destructive to the harmonious working of an institution than for any officer to fall into the habits of explaining to students _ that _ he desired _ to pursue a certain course, but was preâ€" vented from so doing because some one in authority did not concur in his views." He has in this way shown a very marked and deplorable want of loyalty to the Minister and President, as well as towards the institution, and has done much to bring about the present feeling of dissatisfaction and unrest among the students and exâ€"students, he invariably making them believe that he was a victim and the Minister and the President his oppressors. As to the conduct of Prof. Shaw your coumissioners cannot condemn liim two severely. We are of opinion that be lins systematically poisoned the winds of students from the date of asâ€" «uming his dutics up to the time of this investigation against the President of the college and the Minister for the time being. His opportunities for so doing were facilitated, as be himself stated, by his working with the stuâ€" dents in the fields and on the roads. With reference to the instances of lack of harmony with the Minister givâ€" en by Prof. Shaw} your commissioners are of opinionâ€"that the evidence proves that Prof. Sbaw was desirous of evadâ€" ing all responsibility to the Minister of the day. The letters written, first by Hon. Charles Drury, and subs»quently by Hon. John Dryden. fully prove the difficulties they hbad to contend with through the actions of Prof. Shaw.

We publish toâ€"day the findings of the Commissioners appointed by the Government whose duty it was to investigate the complaints made by some exâ€"students, to the effect that the want of harmony prevailing at that institution was injuring its usefulness. To give any part of the evidence adâ€" duced, and not the whole of it, which covers over 125 pages, would not be fair to any of the ~parties concerned. Things which seem trivial in themselves have importance when reviewed in the light of certain relations and attitudes brought out by the mass evidence. The main question seems to have been as to how far the authority of the Presiâ€" dent and Minister of Agriculture should extend, within what limits Prof. S. should be free, and how much he was justified in setting his ownJ plans before the students. The findâ€" ings of the Commissioners, two Reâ€" formers and one Conservative, bearl strongly against Prof. Shaw, and also A summer tour of the maritime proâ€" vinces develops before the eye of the Ontario visitors pictures of sea and land, of riverâ€"valleys and mountainâ€" heights, which foc beauty and diversity are perhaps not equalled within any similar area of the earth‘s surface, but it does not tend to diminish in his sight the difficulties which lie before Canadians in their task of nation building. _ He realizes now, especially if he has some knowledge of the northâ€" west, how true it is that Canada has length, vut not breadth. This geograâ€" phical configuration, seeing that it ruans with lines of latitude, implies similariâ€" ty of climate and products, and will ultimately tend, under the influences of telegraphy and rapid transit, to a howâ€" egenity of people which could not be possible were the extremes of the of country‘s climate wider apart. At the same time, this geographical figure creates or presents a natural lJaw which interferes sadly with the plans of those who would copy in our legislaâ€" tion the statutes framed to control trade by countries differently shaped or placed. â€" This natural Jaw is the plain, easily understood one which says that a country covering but a few degrees of latitude can only shut out the proâ€" _ducts of other lititudes at its own risk and cost. I do not wish to be misunâ€" derstood. Wider knowledge of the character and resources of the Dominâ€" ion should not create discouragement in the mind of any Canadian. The reverse indeed. But it should teach him that it is not true patriotism to be lulled into confidence that the Dominâ€" ion must have a great and prosperous future because it embraces half a contâ€" inent, as though Labrador and the Arctic Circle were waiting only to be tickled with the hoe to laugh with waving grain ; it should teach him to take the Dominion for what it is, not for what Canadian spreadâ€"eagleism would have him think it is, and realizâ€" ing its deficiencies as well as its possiâ€" bilities, get him to work along sane and reasonable lines to make the most of the Dominion, believing that within it lie the rudiments of a strong, hardy nation, instinct with ths Angloâ€"Saxon vigor and courage, and dowered with a saving moral fibre that is ketter than much riches. And clearer than all this, such knowledge should lead him to see that fora country so situate tiade restrictions are simply intolerâ€" able. Geography has decreed that we shall not be a selfâ€"contained people, and unless we propose to continue fighting geography, with the certainty | of ultimate defeat, the sooner we alter our policy to harmonize with the facts of Canada‘s natural position the better for the confederation.â€"St. Thomas Journal. | At a meeting of the Dominion Millers‘ Association last week the folâ€" lowing standard table was adopted. 62 lb., 2.cents over. 58 1b., 1 cent less. 61 1b., 1 cent over. 57 lb., 3 cents less. 60 Ib., standard. 56 Ib., 5 cents less. 59 lb., standard. 55 lb., 8 cents less. which we will sell you, regardless of cost price.
