"There are two ways in which the burdens of any country can lessened. Which of these two methods is to be adopted depends wholly and entirely on the circumstances in which the country finds itself. Onerof these methods, if it bo possible,. is to reduce the expenditure, and that is always desirable when it can be done with advantage to the gen- eral weal. That is sometimes necessary, and is always necessary when a country. is stationary, or much more, in a retrograde condition. The other mode —and in a new and growing country like this, the better mode—is to apply ourselves so as to increase the population, so as to increase the wealth, so as to develop the resources of the country; that we may multiply the number of tax -payers, that wo may increase their means, and thereby as effectually re- duce the burdens of the people as if we reduced the actual expenditure."—Sir Richard Cartwright. • —The town band will give their usual open ate concert this (Friday) evening, —Harriston's civic holiday on Thurs., day nest.

WINGHAM RACES The second day of the Wingham races, last Thursday, drew a much larger crowd than the first day. The i aces were good and the weather could not have been better. In the 2.35 c]ass, Dr. Jim, owned by J. E. Swarts, Wingham, rather sur- prised the spectators: In the first two heats he took fourth and second place and then went out and won three. straights. Dr. Jim seems to have the staying power. The following is a sum - wary of the day's events:— 2.35 class— Dr. Jim, J. E. Swans, Wing ham 4 L4.: 1 Romola B., John Barnes, St Thomas, 12 .a. a.

The Conservative press is saying that the Liberal party is worrying because so many of its old men in Parliament are retiring. The way they keep harping on the subject suggests that possibly they are trying to hint to some of the old men of the Conservative party that itis quite fashionable this year to retire. It cannot be charged that the Opposi- tion is worrying because of any theat- ened influx of new blood. In the Ian-. gunge of the athletic field, the Conser- vative party knovvs only too well' that it needs to change its blowing, as they say in Cricket—or change its battery, as they say in baseball, or strengthen; its home and stiffen its defence, as they say in lacrosse.—Toronto Star. it. • 2.24 class— ;Guiiletta, E.

He went down in about eight feet of water. The pond is fed by springs in the bot- tom and in places is very cold, and he no doubt was seized with eramps when coming in contact with the coin water.
