Last week we made mention that it would be better for the Conservatives of South Perth to aelect, if possible, a local man to oppose Mr. Trow, in pre- ference to -an outsider, especially one beaten in his own constituency. As yet it has not been decided as to who shall contest (the riding in Conservative in- terests; but if Mr.Patterson be the can- didate, he will doubtless make a strong run. His defeat in Essex was owing to the Annexation feeling along theborder in that county, to which sentiment Mr. Patterson did not hold. In South Perth Annexation or Political Union has no admirers, and on this account the Hon. Gentleman would doubtless be a favorite in the riding. Following is what the Windsor Review has to say of his ap- ro:ntment as secretary of State :— This announcement will give satiefaction to the Conservatives of Western Ontario, but will be particu'arly gratifying to those of the Western Peninsnia,wliere he is well and favorably known. The honor has been well earned by Mr. Patterson, and it is within the knowledge of The Review that it would have been made months ago but for the death of the late chieftain. Mr. Patterson was in the Dominion House from 1878 to 1891. He had pre- viously represented North Essex in the Local Assembly at Toronto. When Mr. McGregor was unseated for elevating tho standard of public morality in the approv- ed Grit fashion, Mr. Patterson resigned his seat in the Local House and entered the field of opposition to Mr. McGregor,whoni he defeated by a large majority. In 1878 he was re-elected by a handsome vote, this time for North Essex, the county having been divided into two ridinga as fur Pro- vincinl purposes. -in 1882 Mr. Patterson was tendered and accepted the unanimous nomination for North Essex, and was elected by a majority of almost 1,000. Again, in 18S6, a unanimous nomination for the riding was tendered him, •and al- though au exceptionally strong man,in the the person of Mr. Francis Cleary, was pit- ted against him by the Liberals, and the Riel cry was raised to his disadvantage in he French-Canadian districts of the riding, he was triumphantly re-elected by what, under the oircumstances,was a magnificent majority. 1n 1891 he was for the fifth time unanimously nominated, and, though he had provenhimsolf a faithful and ener- getic representative nr :_h au t mete—e,`,ie .e v vinterests of his constituents, the notion which had got into some people's heads that Mr. McGregor's election would secure Free Trade with the States was suf- ficient to turn the fortune of battle in favor of his opponent. That the riding now re- grets its hasty and ill-advised verdict against an old and faithful friend we have no doubt. Free Trade will not be given Canada by the States on terms that Canada as a part of the British Empire can accept. I is only a matter of time until North Essex welcomes back with open arms the man who served it ;so loyally during the many years he sat in Parliament. From the day he took his seat in the House Mr.Patterson has advanced steadily in the favor and confidence of the leaders of the party, until he has now attained the rank of leader himself. His counsel has been sought on important occasions, and to his skillful hands have been entrusted many missions of importance to the Con- servative party, and his elevation to a seat at the Privy Council has been regarded throughout the Dominion as an event that must occur in time. Mr. Patterson possesses abilities of a highorder, and, though he spoke infre- quently in the House, his speeches, being models of pure Englieh,marked by incisive- ness and inspired by a lofty patriotism, were always listened to with interest by both sides of the House. As Secretary of State the Hon. Mr. Pat- terson will have heavy responsibilities rest- ing upon him, and those who know him are satisfied that they will be discharged with credit to himeelf and honor to his ountry, A figure, second in prominence in the ecclesiastical world only to that of the late Cardinal Newman, has just been re- moved by the death of Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon. His was indeed a notable career. .A. minister of the gospel at eighteen; preached to a congregation of five thousand every Sunday at a little over twenty-five, and with a record of having. enrolled 43,000 people in church. membership during his ministry. 4+4 Why should there be two sets of in- spectors in Ontario—one for the Public and another for the, Separate schools 1 Inspector White's report on the Ottawa case shows him to doe a conscientious officer, but the people of Ontario would have more confidence in the work done in the Separate schools generally if the text books and ,york were under the same system of inspection as the Public schools.—Toronto News. The Globe's Washington dispatch says the Government of the United States will not listen to an offer of limited re- rciprocity from Canada. It is just pos- sible, however, that the demands now being made by American consumers of Canadian barley and lumber, for a re- duction of the duty on these articles,may compel the authorities at Washington to gladty accept an :offer they at present treat so scornfully, DTOTES AND COMMENTS. Thursday's voting afforded the first opportunity, since the general election, for a fair trial of the respective strength of the two parties. The result of that trial is not such as to. give much satis- faction either to one side or the other. The Government has succeeded in hold- ing -Kingston and Halton, but it has not won Lincoln. tit Of over half a million cattle imported by Britain yearly, Canadaonly supplies 60,000, and of 664,000 sheep entering British ports, but 43,000 were sent from the Dominion. The difference between the total purchases made by British im- porters and the amount supplied by this country is even greater in other lines. For instance, two hundred and ten million pounds of butter was bought,and we furnished one million pounds of it ; out of four hundred and eighty-eight million pounds of bacon and ham receiv- ed;we sold a little over six million pounds, and out of forty-three million bushels of barley imported,11,000 bush- els represented the export from Canada. The Dominion trade returns for the first six months of the present fiscal year furnish cause for congratulation. The net increase over the corresponding period of 1891, after allowing for a de- crease of over three millions in forest products, amounts to nearly nine million dollars, In agricultural produce and animals and their products alone there was an advance of over ten millions. Although the details are not yet at hand there can be not doubt that the bulk of the exports in these two lines went to the British market. That is the direc- tion in which we must look to a greater extent than in the past for purchasers of our surplus food products, and it is the duty of the Dominion Government to endeavor to still further expand this trade by an effort to secure a reciprocal trade arrangement with the Home Gov- ernment. The Conservatives of London in con- vention assembled have once more nom- inated Hon. John Carling for their candidate, and in so deciding have done well. They have chosen a man who has given years of devoted effort and service to the party; who, as a Minister of the Cro vn, has always been a source :of strength and credit to the Administra- tion; who was a trusted friend and col- league of Sir John Macdonald ; whose character has stood high and whose name has ever been synonymous with;(honesty, fair dealing and sterling common sense. Such a man deserves well of 'his party, and we believe firmly that the Conserva- tives of London will recognize that they can render no greater service to the cause wo all uphold and pay' no greater tribute to the memory and wishes of their dead Chieftain than to redeem the constituency and elect Mr. Carling by a handsome majority.

Life is an interrogation point. " What is it for?" we con- tinually cry from the cradle to the grave. So with this little introduc- tory sermon we turn and ask: "What is AUGUST FLOWER 1108 ?'' As easily answered as asked : It is for Dys- pepsia. It is B special remedy fol the Stomach and Liver. Nothing more than this ; but this brimful. We believe August Flower cures Dyspepsia. We know it will. We have reasons for knowing it., Twenty years ago it started in a small country town. To -day it has an honored place in every city and country stiAre,. possesses one of the largest manu- facturing plants in the country and sells everywhere. Why is this ? The reason is as simple as a child's thought. It is honest, does one thing, and does it right along—it cures Dyspepsia. G. G. GREEN; Sole ? an'fr,Woodbury,NJ.,
