CRITIC is willing to risk its reputation for
reliability on the truthfulness of the article
in question.
1t might be we'll to say, in addition, that
the article was published as an item of
news, pure and simple, with which the
defense" had nothing to do. The idea
that "the King can do no wrong does not
prevail to any great extent in this Office,
and the misconduct of the Attornoy-Gen-

shown nn as that of the hnmblest citizen.

A CHEERING DECISION.

Those who have money to invest have many troubles One of the difficulties they have to contend with is the lying that is done about the value of s'securities" This lying is very prevalent, and not infrsquently it infests the official reports of companies. The s'insiders' who want to sell stock make glowing reports of it's condition, pay divi- dends that have not been earned, and make everything look attractive as possible to the outsiders. When the insiders have sold enough of the stock the real condition of the property is revealed and those who have bought at high prices are ''left."
 An interesting case involving the question of responsibility for official lying about the value of securities has just been decided by the English Supreme Court of Judicature. During several years the Exchange Banking company was apparently prosperous, divi- dends being declared with satisfactory promptness and liberality. In fact however, the company was insolvsnt and it's business unprofitable, but for long time before it's winding up the directors had been accustomed to falsify the balance sheets. They had en- tered as good assets known to be bad. Thus an apparent profit was shown, and the share
 holders had been induced to declare divi- dends. The iquidator sued the former di-
 rectors for the payment to him, on behalf
 titious dividends. He claimed that the
 payment of dividends under such cir
 cumstances was return of capital
 to the shareholders misapplication of
 the compsny's money, and breach of trust
 for which they were liable. The Vice Chan
 cellor held that they were Jointly liable, and on appeal the Master of the Rolls held that they were also liable severally. The suit was
 brought under section of the Companies act, but in the opinion of the Master the suit was well based on an equity quite independ-
 ent of that section. So long as the company existed and transacted business the capital named in the articles of association could not be returned to the shareholders without legal process. Even if the shareholders knew the facts, their sanction of such return would be invalid because beyond their powers Fur ther, creditors had S right to compel the cor poration to keep it's capital, and they had a | remedy against the directors who had noisap- piled it's funds by paying it's resources away as dividends.
 This decision rests on sound common sense and will have a good effect. As the New York Times says: Concerning joint stock companies shareholders and the public alike ] know only what they are told. On the re- ports based dealings in the stock and I transactions with the company. Anyone ! acting upon the faith of such representations ! must be protected unless thimbls rigging is E to be legalized. Nor should directors com ] plain that this new exposition of their duties ] is too onerous Ic tell the commercial truth
 is sufficiently easy for solvent, honest body
 of men. The alternative is either clear fraud
 or at best the violation of an implied con | tract"

did not imply any dissimilarity in their taste for the national book. But there was this essential difference between the one and the other-that the besiegers had brought with them no brew-houses nor even any suitable caldrons for the making of their favorite drink, whereas the besieged were in full possession of everything that was required for that purpose Tho burgomaster, accord ingly, either gave orders, or at least made suggestion, that every brewer in Bernau should at once set to and brew as much as he could of his best ale. Into the vats was then introduced a sufficient quantity of we'll disguised narcotic. The casks were packed for exportation and despatched in long train at night from the gates. They were naturally seized by the thirsty Hussites out side and their contents immediately distri- buted among the soldiery. The following day saw the latter all stretched in a more or less nsensible condition on the ground, and opportune sortie by the besieged ended in the death or capture of most of them and the flight of the rest. Koska among the fugitives who escaped, but his saddle, which was left behind, was taken as trophy and still adorns the town hall of Bernau as one of it's principal curiosities.

The Crops in Canada.

An Average Crop, Except of Fruit, As- sured.
 IFron the Montreal (Canads) Gazette.l
 Reports Of the condition of the growing
 crops along the line of the Grand Trunk
 railway were received by the company, by
 telegraph from it's agents, on Fri,ay ana
 Saturday last. The information relates to 8
 wide extent of country, is accurate and at
 this time of especial interest. The harvest,
 taken as whole, will equal that of the past
 three seasons, a sufficiently satisfactory re
 suit. But one crop has failed, fruit, which
 seems to have been killed by late frosts in
 the spring. Although this is the "apple''
 year, the yield will fall far below the aver
 age. Higher prices will in some measure compensate the farmers for this loss but. after all. the orchard is merely an adjunct to the farm, and there is no crop probably which can be lost with less disastrous results than the fruit crop. The unfavorable char fall of winter have, however, left their traces in other places. In Eastern Ontario, for in stance, between Lancaster and Belleville, the fall wheat has suffered more or less seriously from frost, and will, in this district, fall somewhat below the average. On the other hand, spring wheat, coarse grains and hay will yield from an average to more than an l average crop. From Western Ontario, the l most important part of the province, the ac counts received are ep1inently gratifying Fall wheat will exceed in quality and quanti l ty that of any previous year, the area sowr l having been considerably increased at the ex pense of spring wheat, which, in spite oi | hardship in the spring, will give fair aver ! age yield. Oats, peas, barley and hay ars all fully up to the average, root crops fair tc ! good, and fruit alone deficient. That, ir ! brief, is the character of the crops through out Western Ontario. A noticeable featur, I in the reports is the absence of any com plaint on account of rust, weevil, or othel pests, and harvest-time is now so near 8
 hand that the crops may be considered be yond dangers of this character. Barley 1 everywhere is good crop, and especial, I heavy in the Bay of Quinte district between
 Kingston and Trenton. In our own province l a marked change for the better has com, over the crops in the past few weeks. Hay l which it was at one time feared would b, light, has given fair average, though not superabundant yield, and grain is progress ing most satisfactorily, promising an ade quate return to the farmers. The root crop 1 have lattsrly suffered somewhat from dr, ! weather but there has been an otfsettin, l gain in the growth and housing in prime con
 dition of hay. and in the rapid maturing o | grain On the whole we have said. tn | harvest promises to equal the splendid crop
 of the past three years and there is album
 dant cause for thankfulness in this fact, sine it implies a continuance of the great pros
 perity which all classes and all sections of tn
 country are now enjoying.

A few days ago was celebrated, in the town of Bernau. in Prussia, the anniversary of a famous victory won by the townsmsn of that festive place in 14s2. At that time the Hussites under Koska, were besieging the town in force, and there was little hope Of holding out against the determined fanatics.

 Some three weeks ago two Comstockers struck out across the Sierras on prospect ing trip. They went over into Placer county to look for pocket lodges, placer mines or anything else in the mining line that would pay. One of the men now writes to a friend in this city as follows: "We spent some two weeks without finding anything we cared to stay by, and finally concluded to 90 down to the valleys and work for wages You must know that for pack animal we have one of the meanest and most contrary of Piute ponies He will never do what you want him to do, and runs away on the slight est provocation.
