That it does not mean loyalty to British constitutional government, my friend's words un- deniably proved, and proved too that the hostility shown forty years ago by the Conservatives to that form of govern- ment, by their burning down the par- liament buildings in Montreal, pelting the Governor General with rotteneggs and hoisting the black flag in his face, still survives in their hearts to -day. Nor yet fidelity to British connection; for when advocating the National Policy, previous to 1878, in -reply to the allegations of the Liberals that it would endanger it, the leader imprud- ently replied, "Then so much the worse for the connection.", Nor is the idea of loyalty to Canadian autonomy and nationalism admissible, for Sir John McDonald was outspoken in his hostility to -that view, preferring annexation, and consistently with that hostility he surrendered the sover- eignty of the river St. Lawrence to the Yankees and taxed the Caliadian thOugh the country should go the dogs. Now, Sir, when we reflect seriously on the. painful fact of the Conservative party being permeated with this low conception loyalty, can we be astonished at the scandalous developments lately made at Ottawa Can we , wonder that eVery department of public service is honeycombed with rascality and .'jobbery? That Canada's statute books should contain enactments cun- ningly devised to thwart the free expression of the people at the polls, and that her, fair capital should becorne a boodler's. paradise. A Conservative expresses the 'fear that the life work of Sir John Mc- Donald is threatened with destruction. I hope, Sir, that God will speed the destruction. The life work of Sir John Mc Donald was to debauch the people. that he maintain himself in power. After him, he said, •would come the deluge. It was at hand ere he passed away. The first note of the oncoming must have sounded mOurn- ful in the ears of the dying politician; 5 ^ ' Atte, recent, meeting of the London Board of Aldermen a petition signed by 1,247 citizens• was presented, asking the Council to imis a by -kw 'reducing the number of liquor license to 34 for and when the full tide struck the doomed party they must have remem- taverns and six for shops. At present bered with bitterness the prophetic .,, there are 40 tavern and ten shop license words uttered by Mr. Blake, that in re-electing Sir John McDonald to the leadership of " their party after their defeat through the Pacific Scandal "They were rushing to destruction." Now, Mr. Editor, as your paper has h large circulation in the West Riding of Huron county where an ex- tremely important election cOntest is now going on,. I shall present a few arguments to your readers which niay assist them to see more clearly how to discharge their duty on polling day. • G ODS We are offering this week a line of 4. eavy 'Twilled Dress Goods orth 20c for 14 1-2c per yard, net cash.

The Austrian empire long resisted reform but the battle of La.dowa in 1866 rudely dispelled the dream. No volunteers came forward to stay the tottering throne for the people had nothing to fight for. The Emperor .and his ministers saw their mistake, patched up a peace with the Prussian, and began a series of political 'reforms; which have made Austria the most progressifre nation in continental Europe. In the second place Conservative governments frequently turn Reform, in order to obtain or retain power. When they get cornered up they put their Tory principles under 'their feet, adopt those of their liberal opponents, and hiiVing accomplished their object go back to their Tory principles again. Sir Robert Peel and Lord Beaconsfield did so in England, and 'Sir John „Mc- Donald often turned somersaults to the delight, of his followers and the disgust of his opponents: Were a Liberal to desert the principles a his party to hold or gaill power, he would soon ' continued on page 5 SUNDAY last was St. Valentine's Day. So old is the custotn of observing the 14th of February as St. Valentine's day, by dainty tokens, that no one !mows when or how the observance began or what connection the old saint bad with it. Tradition says he, was a zealous Christian worker and. by this . offended the pagan rulers, who had him put to death early in the Christian era at -Rome. Mans- pleasant and quant custom4 used tobe celebrated in connection with ,the day, which was observed as a general holiday. In some parts of England the first unmarried person of the opposite sex met on the morning of that day was to be the other's valentine for that year.
