The -Government has lived too muoh in the past and future; digging up the past for the purpose of reviling Liberals on electioneering sine, and holding up the future with glittering promises and pledgee. The electota should disregard the promises of the Whitney Government as regards the future and should judge them purely and simply on what they have actually accomplished. Peet t•x- perience has proven how fallacious is the politioal pledge, and in any Dasa, Old Man Oatario is too hard headed to consider anything but what the Government has aot•zally done. to interfere with the leader of the Opp ton. He refuted the arguments of the farmer speaker regarding the Liberate laying the foundations ot rev- enue by saying that, as the Liberate had always claimed such a large surplus when in °Moe, the Conservatives had argued against the putting on of these taxes in view of the surplus. He corrected some figures given by previous speakers in regard to the expenditure for agrtoniture, and meutioned the in- crease of revenue from different sources, It was a sign of honest administration when not a single item in the public accounts of the province had been ques- tioned in the past three years—no (evi• deuce of a dollar having been misappro- priated. The speaker dealt with the management of the great sonroes of wealth in New Ontario, and olaimed that the Government had already re- ceived $240,000 from the O'Brien mine which kir. MacKay had sold for $700• Recording offices has been establtshe d in that new country; timber could now be purohased in smaller blooks, and other reforms had been made. In re- gard to educational matters, the graded assessment clause had been repealed; the minimum salary to be paid was $300, which he considered no hardship when the qualifications neoeesery for teachers were considered. Increased grants had been made to rural schools, Wingham now receiving about $200 extra. Next year the province would spend $650,000 in education. He refut- ed the charge that Wingham school had lost a grant of $250 because of his lack of qualification. He was perfectly qualified, and challenged proof of the assertion that he was not. He condemn- ed the taotice of certain L'beral papers in the county in their unfair and un- gentlemanly treatment of him. In re- gard to the guaranteeing of the C. N. R. bonds, the Oopoeision was to blame for not dividing the House on the ques- tion. Dealing with the three fifth clause, Mr. Musgrove believed that in a law of that kind a strong sentiment behind it was necessary; it is not such a hardship after all as a repeal must also be carried by three•fifthe. '.Chis legislation, how ever,was somewhat of an experiment, and the Government has an open mind on the subjeot, if it should be found better to go bank to the even majority, a , Me Mus- grovebe done. Concluding, grove stated that, if elected, he would use his endeavors in what he considered to be the best interests of all. He would be ander no obligation to any faction or party. . Mr. John T. Currie was the last speaker, end on advancing to the plat- form received an enthusiastic reception. la answer to the statement that he had been conducting a edmpaign in ambush, Mr. Currie said he had been doing what he considered his duty in organizing the newly -formed riding, and he was glad to know he had made many friends during the tour. The taxes for school purposes were higher under Whitney rule than they had been. Mr, Whitney had stormed against the centralization of power at Toronto, but since assum- ing the reins of office he had taken con- siderable control -out of local hands. In regard to the statements in county papers derogatory to his opponent, Mr. Currie disclaimed any knowledge of, or responsibility for them. He had al- ways found Mr. Musgrove a gentleman, believed him to be such, but could not say as much for some of those who were associated with him. Mr. Currie believed in fair play; he had always tried to serve the best interests of the people in whatever position he was planed. He would no p what he would do. He thought the farmers were but scantily represented THURSDAY. JUNE 4 1908. NORTH HURON NOMINATIONS.

He explained the Larose wining deal, and the able man- agement of the new department Coch- raHon. Frankne, and Mines by whereby the province reoeived large revenues. Dealing with the af- fairs in the department of agriculture, the speaker mentioned the establish• meat of classes, and the taking over of the Ontario Agricultural College. $e condemned the net,on of certain news- papers in the county in raising the race cry to try to injure the Conservative candidate, and concluded by g g friends of of Mr. Musgrove to see that the votes were polled. Dr. Macdonald, in hie opening remarks stated that when hebegan hishpolitical li i in career over 25 years North Huron, and was pleased to find himself again in it. He thought the gerrymander of Huron was most unjust, and that even the Tories would not justify it. The dootor proceeded to show that the enrplus of two and a half million dollars which the Conservatives claimed was not due to their own wise and judicious management. but to the constructive policy of he r revenue beral party in years gone by. The sncceseion duties, taxation of railways, eto , increase of licensee of brewers aud distillery, and the increase of Dominion subsidy were the result of the Liberal policy, which the Conservatives had op- posed. Then the revenue from the miner- als of New Ontario, which were onhad re- cently disoovered, Mr. Whitney o word in creating, yet he and his party take the credit to themselves for these in- creases. Of the increased expenditure, Dr Macdonald showed that only asmall percentage had been devoted to the agrin:hared interests In connection with the Larose mining deal, the dis oovery was made in 1903; two parties had staled out claime overlapping each other, hence there was a dispu'e, and a o .mmission a•ae appointed by the Gov- ernment to enquire into the matter. Ater sitting for three weeks they re- ported allotting 40 acres to the Larose people and the balance to O'Brien. Mr. Mscl{ay had concurred in the report. The Larose firm had received their patent from the late government, and O'Brien got his from the present gov- ernment. The speaker condemned the Whitney Government for attacking its own patent; their action was an admis- sion that O'Brien had a right to it. The guaranteeing of the bonds of the C. N. R for two and a half millions came in for a strong condemnation. I t con- clusion, Dr. Macdonald paid a tribute to Mr. Carrie, the Liberal candidate, who had enjoyed the confidence of the NOTES AND COMMENTS If a Liberal Government had done things parallel to the "readjustment" of some of the changes adopted in the redistribution measure, Hon, Mr, Whit- ney, as Opposition leader, would have stormed the skies in protest.. Take a last instance; It any Liberal had lifted e township out of one riding into an- other, as has been done in the Lauarks, what would Premier Whitney have said? The change in South Lanark is effected by placing Beckwith in North Lanark and No th Sheraroohe iu South Lanark. In Beckwith the Grit caudi- date had twenty-eight votes and Col Matheson ninety-seven. In North Sherbrooke the Grit candidate had 138 votes and D. Preston 32, The transfer thus arida 175 Conservative votes to Dr. Preston's somewhat close constituency. It is things like these that Rive a Gov- ernment a bad reputation, and, persist- ed iu, eventually wreck it.—Toronto World. Huron county has been so "fixed" as to make it pretty certain that two Conservatives will go to the Legis- lature. The Liberal and independent electors of North Huron, by their votes and infinance, oan elect Jouu T. Carrie, and thus show the Whitney Govern- ment that it is not sate to shuffle a county in such a shameful way. Vote for John T, Currie next Mou• day. Let the farmers of North Huron help to elect John T. Corrie n=xt Monday. The battle will be over next Monday. The Liberals in all parts -of the riding should see that every vbter favorable to Mr. Currie is taken to the poll. Huron county was "fixed" to elect two Conservatives. The electors of North Huron by voting for John T. Carrie, oan show the Whitney Govern- ment that they were counting their chickens before they were hatched. Hon A. G. McKay says he will put Local Option on the majority basin. Wi11 the Temperance people of North Huron vote for the Conservative candi- date and continue the three fifth clause or vote for John T. Carrie and send a supporter to Mr. Moray to assist in re- pealing the three fifth clause. The Stratford Beacon reports that Rev. Richard Hobbs, a former Wing - ham pastor, who took the platform for Mr. Whitney in the last ,,Provincial elections, is now an equally pronounoed opponent. The explauation of the change of front on the part of the rev. gentleman is the infamous three-fifths clause. Mr. William Welch has announced himself as an Independent Conservative candidate in North Perth, In a letter to the Stratford Herald, he states he is in the field against Mr. James Torrance, the regular Conservative nominee, We hope to see our old school -mate, Wel- lington Hay, the Liberal candidate el- ected in North Perth. The Conservatives continue to boast of s. plethoric treasury in Ontario, but we have not found any Conservative speaker honest enough to tell where the money came from. To do so would be to give credit to the Liberal party for placing the finances of the Province up on a sound and permanent basis, despite the protests of the Conservative Opposi- tion,—Brantford Expositor, $2.uu TRI, Mr, William Bouskill, engineer, and Mr. R. E. Curran, mail clerk, died from injuries received in the Owen Sound collision.

Mr Mnsgrove, the Conservative can- didate, was warmly received on rising to speak. In the past three years of Conservative rule, the Opposition could not point to one corrupt act on the part of the Whitney admintetration, and if they could be commended for nothing else, they had at least given pure. elec- tions. In the gerrymander he consider- ed the Reformers had been leniently de:It with. Among other things North Grey had been left unchanged, so as not t be ledged as to ••••••••••••••••••••••_._.

There are twenty drugs to help your digestion for a time, but there is only one medicine that can positively cure your indigestion for good. To any one with indigestion a half dozen boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have oared the worst cases of indigestion by going straight to the root of the trouble in the blood. - Yon oan take a purgative to tear through your bowels andmake a clean sweep of your food, whe- ther it is digested or not. Yon oan take stomach. bittera to create a false appetite —it you don't care what happens after you swallow your meal. Yon can drug your stomach with tablets and syr•ps to digest your food for yon—if y• don't care how soon you ruin your - stem al- together. You can do all t things— but don't call it "oaring our indiges- tion." There is only • .e way to cure indigestion, and that is to give your system so much goo pure, red blood that your stoma h nd liver wilt -have strength enoug o do their natural work in a Malt' Some Conservative speakers and canvassers say considerable because Mr. Currie has not taken to the platform and discussed the gnestions of the day. Do they forgot so soon that they were following Joseph Beck in West Heron, who did not do any platform work, and the present member of the Commons for East Huron, who did not depend on platform work to win his election. Many of the best men who sit in the Parliaments are not good men on the platrorm. It is not a necessary qualifi• cation. Mr. Carrie will make a useful member and will look after the interests of the farmers of North Huron, and as the riding is made up largely of farmers he is the man who should be the repre- sentative. Vote for Carrie next Mon- day. MAN DOES BUT LITTLE. WHITE STAR LINE iadiea' Some Journal Patterns 1pe and 1 5 e . Live Stock Markets. Toronto, June 2,—There was gnito a heavy run at the Oita' Cattle Market today, with the result that for the commoner kinds of cattle trade was slow and prides probably 20c. to 25c. easier. The decline, however, did not affect the ohoieest butcher and export cattle, prices in these classes •remaining good and firm. The total run was 114 loads, with 2,05p head of cattle. 544 sheep and lambs, and 500 oalves and 800 hogs. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.

My stomach was in a state sight of any kind offood often tared my stomach and I would rise from the table without eating. Dootors advised different medi- cines which I took without benefit. Finally I beoame so run down that I had to quit work. For two months I tried to build m3 self up with the aid of doctors, but as time went on and my oondition did not improve I beoame much discouraged. Then a friend told me he thought Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would help me, and I began their use. In three weeks time I was so improved that I went back to my work, but I continued using the pills until I had taken twelve boxes, and now my stom- ach is strong, and I am ready for a good meal • three times a day, and life now really seems worth living." It is because Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, red blood that they cure such common ailments as anaemia, with all its headaches and backaches, rheuma- tism, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, partial paralysis and the secret ailments from which women and young girls suffer so muoh.

At a public meeting held in Brussels the other evening in the interests of Mr. Proudfoot, Mr. A. Hislop, the late member for East Heron, made a tell- ing address. He called to mind the largely increased expenditure, the re- fusal of the government to repeal acts of the Liberal administration pro- nounced to be dreadfully bad when in opposition, or yet to introduce meas• area faithfully promised to be brought forward, such as law reform, etc. The great lack of the government was pointed out to be the want of con- structive legislation. Toronto was getting too muoh both in men and money, the University students re- ceiving an average of $200 while the public school pupils averaged only $2. Mr. Hislop concluded with a denunci- ation of the injaatice of the gerry- mander in view of all Mr. Whitney's pledges. Daring the campaign up to date, the great bulk of the discussion has centered around several vital questions —the C. N. R. Guarantee, the Power negotiations, and the three-fifths Orme. The attitude assumed by the Government supporters has been one of defence. They have been ao busy advancing excuses and extenuating eireuniatancea that little has been acid of what the Government has done in a legislative way. This i3 very wise, because the Government bas done very little. Surely the poet with prophetic foresight, had the Whitney Go';ern- ment in view when he wrote: "Man does but little hero below and does that little wrong." Considered frankly and impartially, it moat be conceded that the Govern- ment's legislative escutcheon is al - the moat as blank and barren as shield of Sir Tor. In the matter of law reform they have done nothing. Prison reform is promised but in the meantime a mere nefarious state of affeirs than ever is being maintained, Cheap power has been promised but There will be an even hundred con- tested elections for the Ontario Legis- lature next Monday, Last Monday was nomination day, and the result was the election of six of the Conservative candidates by acclamation. The mem- bers who will not have to fight for their seats are W. J. Paul, whose ma- jority in Addington in 1905 was 625; Hon. A, J. Matheson, who carried South Lanark by 891; J. H. Carnegie, who carried E. Victoria in 1005 by 1,081; 3. J. Preston, who had 792 of a Ma- jority in East Durham in 1905; A. A Mahaffy of Muskoka, who had 900 of a majority last time, and A. Ferguson of South Simeoe, which is really Card- well under another name. In 1905 E. A. Little carried Cardwell by 889 for the Conservatives, and Mr. Per• guaon as his politioal heir was elected it also has been relegated to the future ' later by acclamation. wards 4 50 Stockers choice 1 50 2 00 2 75 3 00 Mlle Butchers'— 4 50 4 75 Picked 4 50 4 75 Medium 2 50 3 50 Cows........ ... 1 50 2 00 Bulls Hogs— 5 76 Best 5 40 Lights < Sheep— New Spring Dress Goods, special value from 15e to $1.00 per 4 >r Export ewes 3000 400Ili Bucks,... 2 50 3 25 Culls.... - . 6 50.
