NOTES AND COMMENTS
MAKE A THOROUGH JOB OF IT,
( Toronto Star )
One of the chief abuses in oonneo
tion with the purohsse of supplies for
public institutions has its pause in the
existence of "a patronage list," made
up ot friends of the Government. When
competition is artificially restrioted by
confining all purchases made to those
named on such list the inevitable re-
sult is to unnecessarily increase the
coat of goods purchased, The way
is at the same time made easier for the
development ;,ot a system of organized
corruption, such as that being revealed
et Quebec. A Government;, official, no
matter how severe the itch in his
palm, would scarcely dare to accept
commissions from open opponents of
the Administration snob as some of.
finers at Qaebeo received, through
friends of the same. The risk of ex-
posure is great enough even when deal-
ing with party allies; it becomes in-
finitely greater when dealing with
party enemies.
The exposure at Quebec would be
worth while, even if it bad no further
result than to bring about the abohtion
of' a favored list of official contractor',
and the institution of a system of open
competition by one of the great spend -
tug departments. In ordering this
change, Mr. Brodeur has taken the
proper Douse. It cannot, however,
be fairly pleaded • se an excuse for
the abuses revealed at Quebec that
these date back to Conservative ad-
ministration. A Government that has
been twelve years in power has surely
had time enough to clean up any mese
left by its predecessors. It is well that
a oleaning•np, too long delayed, has
begun in earnest at last. And now
that a start has been made it should
not be limited to one department.
When the Marine Department has been
disposed of other departments should
be taken up in tarn. Let the work of
house cleaning be thoroughly done
while we are at it.

To -day the Herald abandons the
oomio supplement. That' acoompani-
ment of newspaperdom has had its
day. We discard it as we would throw
aside any mechanism that had reaoh-
ed the end of its usefulness or any
feature that had ceased to fulfil the
purpose of attraotion. Comic supple-
ments have ceased to be comic. They
have become as vulgar in design as
they are tawdry in color. There is
no longer any semblance of art in
them, ' and if there are any ideals
they are low and descending lower. -

8 ih Restored to Health by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills,
"Both myself and my wife can truth-
fully say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have been of great benefit to us, and
W8 are constantly recommending them
to oar friends." Thus writes Mr.
Ernest L. Archibald, Truro, N. S , who
further says:-''Iu my own ease I bad
been subject to dizzy headaohes for
over a year, and three boxes of the
Pills completely cured me of the
trouble. About a year ago my wife
began to complain. She seemed to be
completely run down; was very pale
and weak; she could not walk up stairs
without stopping on the way to get
breath, and ultimately she grew so
weak she could not sweep a floor with.

tinned using the ' Ile until she had
taken the six boxes, and to -day she is
perfectly well, feels stronger and looks
better than she has done for some years.
While she was taking the PAIS she
gained twelve pounds in weight."
Dr. Williams' Pills cure troubles
like these beoause they are rooted in
the blood. Bad blood is the cause of
all common diseases like anaemia,
rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia, St.
Vitus dance, general weakness, and
those ailments that only women folks
know, with their, attendant headaches
and irregularities. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are a ante oure when given a fair
trial, because they enrich the blood
and thus reaoh the root of the disease.

(Windsor Record.)
One of the great national worke of
the near future is the Georgian Bay
canal, an enterprise as to whioh the
government has expressed the opin-
ion that the necessities of the coun-
try require • that it should be under-
taken. There has been a clear ex-
preesion of opinion as to this. The
Georgian Bay canal must be built, the
people whose interests will be affect-
ed by it have made their wishes
known in this regard, and the Geor-
gian Bay canal is an enterprise that
the government will give attention
to without any undue delay. The peo-
ple want it and it will be part of
Sir Wilfrid...,rier'a work to see this
canal built and given over for the use
of the people.
The All•Red line is another project
which has now received the sanction
and indorsement of the people. In due
time the oommeroe of Great Britain
to the antipodes will pass through
Canada, which will• be the occasion of
an impetus to Canadian commerce,
and enlighten the world more as to
the riches and resonroee,of this flue
country.
The attention of the government
will still be given to the improve-
ment of harbors and waterways and
the lighting of the channels. The
settler will be encouraged to settle
in the west, and every facility will be
provided so that the increasing crops
will find easy access to market.
There will be no disturbance of the
fisoal policy. Bueiuess men may re•
same operations without fear of fie-
oal disturbances,; and the ordinary
affairs of lite may now be resumed
with absolute knowledge that five
more years of prosperity, face the
people.
In the famone libel case of the Eye
Opener against McGillicuddy, leave to
appeal was granted to the court en bano,
which meets on Deo. 2, and which will
decide if the jury had power to decide
on the plea of jaetifioation. Stay of pay-
ment of the fine was granted to Des. 15.
The fact that the jury added a rider ad-
vising the ltye Opener to be suppressed
if filthy matter is published in future,
combined with Judge Beok's condemna-
tion of the paper as "debasing, corrupt-
ing and immoral," and the releasing of
the defendant from the paying of costa,
le regarded by McGillicuddy 9a a strong
moral viotory, practically as good as an
acquittal so far as the policy of the
Drily News is concerned. The editor is
most confident as to the success of an
appeal. The Eye Opener has been a
disgrace to the country as well art to its
editor, and if its pages are to be charac-
terized by the smut and vile innuedo
which have marked its past history, the
suggestion of the jury that it be sup-
pressed cannot be noted on too quickly.

Toronto, Nov. 17 -City Cattle Mar-
ket -The fact that Monday's heavy
inn of cattle was followed by another
today failed• to weaken the market.
Trade was quite active, and by midday
there was very little left over. Prices
were well maintained for good butcher
cattle, while, as before, common and
inferior mixed cattle are plentiful, with
prioee easy. Export trade is quiet, ,but
prices steady for ohoioe quality.. The
run of sheep and lambs was heavy, and
prices off.
The total run was 100 oars, with 1,620
head of cattle, 1,600 sheep and lambs,
400 hogs, and 100 calves.

Export market steady at $5 to $5.25
for choice quality; medium export, 84.40
