'1.11;oknow, March 4th, 1802. , • s•11,.. 1 • There never was a time in the his - tor of the country when the services of such independent men as the Hon. • Edward Blake was more needed than ast the present time. Men have be- come so blinded -to partyism that it is claimed that neither one of the present political parties want him in Parliament but that is the very reason why Canada should want him the more. It seems to be taken for grant- ' ed, without question, by the average voter, that a politician who is no party Man counts for nothing, but Mr. Blake's record in. Parliament disproves this. No time, even when he was the igader of the Liberal party, was he so Werful in the country as when he was independent of caucus bondage. ,A.t Cates he swayed the whole House, and the great deference paid to hirdby both parties was not to mete force of *ill but to the soundness of his posi- , lions and to his evident desire to do whit he honestly believed to be in the best interests of the country. It is true Mr. Blake lacks some of the nec- i '.,Leasary•qualities of a successful leader. The great master mind sees all sides a question sQ fully, and particularly the objections to every policy, that his - fault seems to be to lack a positive Erie of action. His letter to the elec.- litins of West,Durham at the time of the last general elections was a con- tietnnation of the course , pursued by `both the political parties, and showing at theyeach would ultimately lead o annexation. It is now generally hived that Mr. Blake will ere long ,a! !xi the pressure being brought to Upon him, and again re-enter public life, and that he has in view a pohcy which will not incur the danger iihich the , people of Canada wish to *old, of losing our national indepen- •"allence. With such a message the ,•Icountry will welcome him, for all agree • - that. Mr. Blake is a pure minded patriot and one of the ablest men in Abe Dominion, and certain it is that Oinada has present and urgent need for the best services of her purest and ablest sons. FARM HELP NEEDED The fanners of Manitoba need help this spring, say the Winnipeg Commer eial, to get through with their work. It is certain that there will be a very urgent demand for farin laborers with- in a few weeks, and this demand will be greatly in excess of the suppli The enormous crop of last year, combined with. a late harvest and unfavorable fall weather, has forced a great deal of work to remain over until spring. /here will , be inillions of bushels of graini to be threshed in the spring, and ihrealling hands will be in demand. (:)n account of the smaller area of land Vowed last fall, there will be much • more spring plowing to be done this year than usual, and additional. help, will be required to plow and put in the traps. Many farmers will have hun- dreds of loads of grain to haul to he market during the summer, which they lave not been able to get threshed in time to market during the winter. This again makes extra work for the farmers. The season promises to be a busy one for the farmers right through. What with threshing and marketng grain,, attending to their soling seeding, Ike** new land, etc., the farmers .will be busy right up to next harvest, 'when another rush of work will set in. Manitoba will therefore require an ',ultra supply of farm help, and good - nen will have no difficulty in finding abundance of work from early spring itil after next harvett., _ 7 of grand jurors from twenty-four to thirteen. The latter number is an un- lucky one, but it is large enough to meet the case. Thirteen men are jpst as- competent to arrive at a decision as twenty-four, and they cost less to get together. PROVINCIAL treasurer`Hs.rcourt's re- port of the tavern and shop licenses act for 1891 supplies some figures which ought to prove interesting to our readers. In 1874 there were 4,793 tavern, 1,307 shop, 52 wholesale and 33 vessel licenses issued for the Province -6,185 in all. In 1890 the number was reduced to 3,071 tavern, 428 shop and 24 wholesale license -a total of 3,523, making a reduction of 2,662 in sixteen years. "There are no licenses granted to vessels now. Dur- ing 1890-91 the Province derived from licenses and fines $308,200.17, and the municipalities $294,968.26. The tines collected throughout the Province in the same year ainounted to $22,572.07. The tolal number of prisoners con:mit- ted to the county jails for drunkenness in 1876 was 3,868. In 1891 the num- ber was reduced to 3614. PEDDLING PRINTERS. To the Editor of the 'Sentinel : DEAR SIR, -One day this. week there came into my shop a wan dis- tributing circulars, headed "Cheap job printing," and signed by one Simmons, a Wingham job printer. It gave quotations of prices for special kinds of printing, and claimed these quotations were frbm one quarter to one third below the 'regular rates. Before ordering I took the trouble to make comparisnns between his figures and die prices of similar nork done for me at the SENTINEL office, and found .no difference in most and very little in any, and as your work has been always highly satisfactory tome I came to the conclusion to get my work done at home. This is a free country and every matt has a perfect right to get his business where and when he honestly can, but I claim that so long as we can get just. as good work within our borders and for the same price we are in duty bound to give our own townsmen our support in preference to any stranger. When our citizens sometimes go, as some of them do, to sister towns and villages to purchase necessaries, we business men are naturally not verywell pleased and the good old precept stands good here, "Do unto others, etc." Our local paper is by all odds the best inedium we, have of advertising our business and,our village. It should, therefore, be 'encouraged and given our patron- age in preference to any foreigner who may chance along. At all events we should . give no orders to outsiders until we compare their goods and quo- tations with the home product and the home prices. BUSINESS MAN. Lucknow, March 2nd, '92. • AUCTION SALES.
