THE'llSDAY, FEB, 6, t08.
ll'orty.four bye-eleotions have been
held since the general elections of 1904.
Of these, 34 have betel won by Liberals;
Wad the net result is that Mr. Borden
hue one less follower than he had after
the. contest of Novemblr, 1904
The customs revenue of Canada for
the first ten mouths of the present fiscal
year, April to Jammu, inclusive, was
$49,421 802, an inoreiee of $6,917,473 as
compared with the corresponding ten
menthe of 190a '7. Tor the month just
ended the customs revenue was $4.027,-.
963, a derease of $65,330 as compared
with January- of last year.
It appears to bo settled that by the
• vedistributi n of seats for p ovinoial
elections to be made at the approaching
• session of the Ontario Legislature
Centre Bruce swill be done away with.
The county will then consist of North
E4
and South Bruce in provincial as well
st as dominion electione. The division
is likely to be made by taking all the
▪ municipalities south of Brnoe and.
Elderslie-that` is, Kincardine, Green-
ook, Brant, Huron, Kinloss, Cranes and
Carrick for the South, and all north of
that for the north riding. This will
be a sensible division and will have no
appearance of a gerrymander. The
south ridtug will have a population of
31,250 and the north one 27,770.-Q:tee-

It is expected that a measure of redis-
tribution will be introduced at the ap-
proaching session ot the Legislature.
Nothing has transpired to suggest that
anything like a gerrymander for party
purposes is oontemplated. It is even
hinted that the British practice will be
followed, and a committee representing
both sides of the Legislature appointed
to consider the details of the measure.
It well be remembered that the redistri-
bution made by the Ross Government a
few years ago was substantially fair to
both pieties, and. the Federal redistribu-
1 tion of 1903, while attacked by the Op-
position insome particulars, respected
I municipal boundaries, and upon the
whole held the balance even between
the two parties. Iadeed, in this respect
oar political methods have shown a
great improvement in the last quarter
of a centnry, and if rumor is to be trust-
ed, M. Whitney will adhere to the bet-
ter fashion. -Toronto News.
WEST HURON NOMINATION.
A meeting of the West Huron Liber-
al Associatioa was held at Goderioh on
Friday for the purpose of electing a
candidate to carry the Liberal standard
at the next Provincial election. R'pre-
asntatives from nearly all of the divi-
sions in the riding were present, and the
meeting was most enthusiastic. Mr.
M. G. Cameron, M. P P., in a spirited
addreee announced that should his name
appear for nomination he regretted his
inability to stand for election. Two
prominent Liberals ot the riding
Were nominated -Messrs. J. T. Carrie,
of East Wawanosh and Wm. Proud -
foot, K. 0., of Goderich-and the ballot,
resulted in the choice of Mr. Proudfoot,
and subsequently, on the motion of Mr.
Carrie, the choice was made unanimous..
Many prominent Liberals addressed
the meeting, among them being Messrs.
Jacob Kellerman, Deputy Reeve Ste-
phen, Liberal candidate from South
Huron for the Legislature, and Mr.
Robt. Holmes, the Liberal candidate for
West Huron for the House of Commons.
Mr. Prondfoot bas for many years been
prominent in the work of the Liberal
party in Wee; Huron and he should
Make a very strong candidate. He has
a united party behind him and if West
Huron. is not too badly carved in the
proposed redistribution he should have
no trouble in keeping the riding in
the Liberal column where it has been
for Tong years.
EXPENSIVE TORY JUNKETINGS
spent on tale ocoasiop was $14,830.21,
and Feeter, Tupper and Thompson wet e
earth apoompanied by a private *more-
tarY.
Then again, Memo. Tupper god
Tat/isnot= represented Canada on the
Bearing Sea Commission in Paris in
1892.'93. Each of these gentlemen was
accompanied by a private secretary, and
they also had with them a messenger.
These economical Conservatives on this
occasion iacurred a bill of $22 355.04, and
it is a orthy of remark that Tupper was
also the agent of the British G-overe-
anent, and in aidition to the sum of
$6,816,54, included iu above figures for
himself and private secretary, the Brit-
ish Government paid all his expenses as
snob ageut.
The people of Canada are invited by
the Tories to dismiss a Government on
the ground of extravagauce, when his-
tory proves that be identical inattere
they, tae Tories, meandered money with
a recklessness almost criminal, aud
should each a misfortune occur as their
return to power, there would be are -
petition of chicanery and loot which
distinguished former Conservative Gov-
ernments. The affairs of the Dominion
are now iu capable hands, and they will
never be omnmitted into the hauls of
gamblers, speculators, spendthrifts,
rakeoffmen and elanderers.
ADVERTISING MAKES
THE TONN GO
A writer in Printer's Ink makes an,
interesting diagnosis of the reason why
some towns are "slow." He says:
"Anybody who his had experience
travelling among the email cities and
towns of this country- knows that wide
diff3rences are seen between places of
the same population, and in mach the
same locality, and enjoying what would
seem to be equal opportnuities for trade.
Ooe place of 10,000 people, for instance,
will be thoronghly alive, its shops bright,
its people brisk, and prosperity apparent-
ly on every hand. Anetheraperhaps bat
25 miles away, will be thoroughly dead,
its stores deserted, dull, sleety, its people
given to the habit of cracker -box con-
versation. In one town it is a pleasure
to step off the train and look for lanai -
nese, which in the second an experienced
travelling man has no sooner alighted
than he wants to know the time of the
next train out "
The diagnosis is ridiculously simple.
In one, the newspapers encourage live
advertising by charging a rate which
includes setting up new ads. as often as
the merchant cares to change. In the
other, an antiquated rate system is in
vogue, making a low charge for apace
and au extra charge for every change of
advertisement. It's just worth while
considering what good, live advertising
by the merchants does for a town and
its trade. -From The Canadian Grocer,
August 23, 1907.

[MN T SUFFER
ALL WINTER
Read this Evidence and begin to-
day to Cure Yourself With
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Soiatloa is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheutna
tism and ie the direct result of taking
cold. For this reason the dime is com-
monly known as "soiatio rheumatism."
There is ouly one thing more painful
than soiatica and that is the treatment
of it, as practiced. The sickening burn,
ing of the flesh is only one of the forms
of cruelty employed by the old sohool
doctors, and all too often this is entirely
vain for the relief gained is but tempor-
ary.
It Is a soientiflo fact that the majority
of sciatica oases result from exposure to
cold when the patient is in an anaemic:
or bloodless condition, in which the nerve
is literally starved. It needs no argu-
ment to show any reasonable person that
a starved nerve cannot be fed by the
application of a hot iron to the outer
fleela It may deaden the sciatio pain
for a time bat it will not cure soietioa.
Absolute rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment, Rest and Dr. Wil-
liams Pink Pills, which aotnally make
new blood and. thus feed the starved
nerve, will cure most oases.
Mr. H W. Awalt is one of the leading
merchants of Hemford, N. S. A few
years ago he was a great su :rer from
this excruciating trouble. e says ; -
"The attack was so sever: that I Ind
been off work for some ti e. The cords
of my legs were all drawup and I could
only limp along with t e aid of a stick.
The pain I suffer:. wi terrible. I was
in misery both da nd night. Every
movement caused me such pain as only
those wbo have been tortured with soils -
tics. know. I was treated by several
doctors, but they did not help me a bit.
In faot I almost began to think my con-
dition was hopeless, when Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills were brought to my notice.
I got a half dozen boxes. I had used the
entire quantity before I found any bene-
fit. But I was encouraged and got a
second half dozen boxes, and before these
were all gone every vestige of the trouble
had disappeared. Not only this, but I
was improved in health in every way, as
it will be readily understood that the
long siege of pain I had suffered had left
me badly run down. I can't speak too
highly of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I
can't recommend them too strongly to
other sufferers."
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat -
meet and the patient often suffers for
years. Dr. Williauas' Pink Pills do not
simply relieve the pain. They cure the
disease caused by poor watery blood.
They aotually melte new blood and have
there fore a direct and powerful curative
effect on snoh diseases as rheumatism, an
aemia general debility and after effects of
the grip. As the nerves depend upon the
blood for nonrishmeat, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are unequalled for the treat-
ment of even the most severe nervous
disorders, each as neuralgia, partial
paralysis, SI. Vitus dance and locomotor
ataxia. As a tonio for the blood and
nerves they are used everywhere with
the greatest success, building up wasted
bodies and bringing the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. Sold by all
medicine dealers or by mail at 50d a box

liams' Medicine 0o., Brockville, Ont.
Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Feb. 4. -The frost King bad
the cattle kings down and out to -day.
With the temperature bobbing around
20 to 25 below zsto, the railways deoided
that to undertake to deliver live stock at
the city cattle market would be too
risky business under such conditions,
and so, for the present, the cattle are
still in there warm stables on the farms,
instead of facing the freezing blasts
through the snow -drifts on their way to
market.
There were less than a dozen oars of
live stock of all kinds delivered at the
city market yesterday and to -day, not
enough, as the dealers said, to make a
market upon. Basiness was, in fact,
practically suspended for the day, and
drovers and dealers alike for the moat
part preferred the warmth of the offices
to freezing around the cattle yards.
Prices were normal an firm at yester-
day's quotations.
