OUR OTTAWA LETTER. Front inn. own. Correspondent. Ottawa, December 15th, 1000. The :freely expressed views of leading English newspapers upon the Canadian elections are particularly interesting on account of their outspoken reference to the chief issues upon. which they were fought. The fantastic policy which Sir Charles. Tupper advanced with reference to trade relations between the Dominion and the Old Country is naturally given most prominence, and if there are still those who are not yet convinced that that policy is utterly impracticable at tho present time, a perusal of the opinions of those disinterested representative critics may convince them. The Pail Mail Gazette for example says: "In re- turn for concessions to the Mother Country Sir Charles Tupperwouldhave exacted terms which wore altogether impossible -almost ludicrous, having re- gard to our owu fiscal policy." The Daily Graphic says: "Sir Charles Tupper's friends did not scruple to tell the Canadian electors that the British Government would have been willing to tax the food of British people for the benefit of Canada if Sir Wilfrid had not stood in the way. The victory of Sir Charles Tupper under such conditions might have resulted in a very disagree- able misunderstanding between the people of Canada and the people of Great Britain." In another issue the same paper adds, "Such a request (for reciprocal preference) certainly would be refused from whomsoever it came, for Great Britain cannot afford to ruin her manufacturers even to please her colon- ies; but it is satisfactory to find that the splendid victory of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has removed all danger of the presentation of such an impossible de- mand." THE RACE CRY TOO. As to the racial cry, so outrageously "worked to the extreme danger limit, the London _Citizen says:. "No statesman has done more than Sir Wilfrid. Laurier to bring the French and English races together and to make them feel that they are one in spirit and loyallty to the Britisn crown. The Nottingham Ex- press declares: "Sir Wilfrid Laurier's success is the more gratifying since it should put an end to the nnisohevions attempts to excite race antipathy be- tween the English and the French 'Canadians. His aim is to bring the two races together and all Englishmen will rejoice that he goes back to continue this wise policy. The Birmingham Gazette says: -"Sir Charles Tupper is to be commiserated with but having taken his stand and having identified himself with the 'Little Canadians', we could not honestly wish him success." The London Globe remarks: -"Tho Laurier victory affords fresh proof that, as in the mother country so in her colon- ies, neither race or creed debars acitizen from reaching the highest position at- tainable by Her Majesty's subjects." • W InDLstrtss t nth Eine' •a Mrs. B. Stoddard, Delhi, Norfolk County Ont., writes as follows: --"I was troubled with Eczema or Salt Rheum for over twelve -years, and during that ,time doctored with four diffbrent phy- sicians, but found that they could only give temporary relief. I saw Dr. Chase's Ointment advertised, decided to try it and before 1: had. used half a lrox found great relief and change. Al- together I have used three boxes and am now completely cured. ]: have re ',commended it .to my neighbors, and eau *ay it is the beet I ever used, and in mY estimation. worth its weight in rota." The keen misery which many endure from the tortures of skin disease is moist appalling, and so much the •worse because it is unnecessary. Dr. Cha8e'S Ointment stands alone as the one un - bailing remedy for salt rheum, eczema, scald head and celery form of itching akin disease. 00 cents a bix, at an deat- errs', or Edr_.ette.,ii, Dates & Co., 'Tor. ,Onto.

Tao 4..ha rge of disloyalty draught Turkel ag i,iuet €i:r Wilalritl Laurie evideutly strikes the Buglish o v,'ver as 1u:lierOus in rhe extreme, The Batit.11 Weekly says: --"Tho Empire will not (loll forget the seriricea he (the Premier) rendered at the gloomy beginning at the Transvaal war. In the hour of our reverses not one word of despondeney escaped him,. his Speeches were the noblest and most inspiring uttered by 'any of t}ie Queen's subjects, He setev.- ed rare tact end good souse in. arranging for the despatch of the Canadian troops without breakiug nil his own party, --in the best sense of the word he is a sane imperialist;" and acids significantly, "Frenolt Canada has. enthusiastically endorsed the imperial policy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier; in Quebec the Opposi- tion are almost annihilated heaving secured belt, eight seats out of sixty-five.), The Sussex Daily News says: --'Tho moderate imperialism of the Canadian Liberals is greatly to be admired and their sturdiness in the hour of danger has increased our respect for them. and the public men they delight to honor." The 14lanchester Courier refers to, "The cordiality with wiling the Laurier ministry gave effect to Canadian. sympathy with her Mother Couutry in HER HOUR Or TRIAL 21 190o. by despatching 3,000 volunteers to fight by the side of the British troops in South Africa." The Liverpool Post says: - "Sir Charles Tupper and his friends came before'the electors as more im- perialist and loyalist than even Sir Wil- frid Laurier; the appeal has been con- spicuously in vain." The Nottingham Express pronounces that "Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a Liberal Imperialist of the best kind." The Plymouth Newspoints out that "It has not been a question of party or of country but of Empire. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the embodiment of this spirit and that is the reason why French and British Canadians have joined hands and voice, and proclaimed him once more the leader of the colony." Nor the attack on the Minister of Public Works any more effective, for the Daily Chronicle says: -"Mr. Tarte was branded a disloyalist by Sir Charles Tupper. It is to his credit that Mr. Chamberlain by his attitude towards Mr. Tarte, as Canadian Commissioner at the Paris Exposition, did what in him lay to discredit this piece of partisan folly, and it is significant that' these racial appeals have found no response in the Maritime Provinces where United Empire loyalism is most deep-seated." THEY WILL REMEMBER ROSS. The infantile innocence affected by some Tory journals would be quite enchanting if it were not so silly. The Citizen for example wants to know "Why this constant appeal to the mem- bers of the machine to remember Ross? Have the gang gone back on the boss?" Every newspaper reader is perfectly well aware that the Mail -Empire started the foolish cry, "Remember Ross," the day after the general elections, in the hope that it might secure some slight party advantage with the apparent Tory majority in Ontario against Premier Ross in the next Provincial fight. Tho attempt has already proved a miserable fiasco, and indeed veritable boomerang, for it has led the Province to remember and talk about the excellent services and the progressive patriotic policy of the Liberal Administration of Ontario dur- ing the past thirty years, -and at no time more progressive and patriotic than. since Mr. Ross became at the head. This weak and short-sighted movement has had another effect too, it has created an especial interest in the figures cast in Ontario in theDominionelections and they have been carefully analyzed with the result that the significant discovery has been made that had the constituencies been arranged as they are for a Provincial election the identical vote which gave the Tories the majority of 19 would have given a Liberal majority of five or six at least; in other words it was the shameless gerrymander of 1882 and 1892 that prevented the electors of the Province giving due effect to their unbiassed preference. The truth of the matter is that the Tories are now wish- ing to goodness that the people would not "Remember Ross," in the manner in which they are most likely to do the next time they are called upon to express an opinion at the polls. For Over Fifty Years. An Old. and Well -Tried Remedy -Mrs Winslow's SoothingSyrup has been used. for over fifty years byuiill i�.onsof mothers for their children while teething, with perfect suceess. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. It is pleasant to the taste. Sold by druggists in every part of the world. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Its value is incalculable. Be sure you ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. It is estimated that the 135,000 Amid - cans who visited Europe last year spent there $60,000,000, The United. States pensions bill carries $145,200,000. 20 Year of `Vito Catarrh,• --Chale. 0. Brown, journalist, of Duluth. Minn., writes ; " T have been a sufferer from Throat and Nasal Catarrh for over zo years, during which time my head has been stopped up and my condition truly miserable.

This will in an increase in price for every animal raised by the Ontario farmer. Beef in Chicago is always from 75 cents to $1 per owt dearer thou in Toronto though Chicago is 000 miles farther away from the central market than Toronto. The immense packing establishments keep up the market in Chicago. If this great step is the nraroll of progress be taken in Ontario, a still wider era of prosperity will open to the farmers of the Province: Hon. Mr, Ross may rest assured that he will have the support of the people of Ontario in assisting to develop , this enormous in- dustry. FOIL AULD LANG SYNE. Ladies of Canada: "Should old acquaintance be forgot?" The answer comes mechanically from every Britisher. Nor should new ao- quaintance be forgot. Remernber that on the bloody fields of South Africa your brave soldier boys were on the firing line, flanked by loyal British subjects from Ceylon and India. In the midair of danger, lasting friendships were formed, and you, ladies of Canada, have it in your to cement those bonds. The Green teasiof Ceylon and India appeal to you from sentiment. By using them you not only aid your brother colonists. but you get absolutely the best tea. Those of you who. drink Green Japan teas have a revelation in store if .you make the change.

Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine contains many of the most valuable and most effective remedial agents for throat and lung troubles that science has discovered.
