Judging from the platform and other demonstrations in the interest of the eiberal Conservatives of Ontario, the fete of the Mowat government is doom ed. The hand, writing on the 'wall is so ezisible, that it requires no modcrt Tnuie.i, to interpret its meaning. Be etween the Patrons of Industry, the P . Ke., the Temperance Party, and the want of confidence being manifested among the followers of Mr Mowat,—it moms pretty clearly established as a foregone conclusion that Sir Oliver will at the coming election in spring be "Weighed in the balances and found wanti.ng, The present provincial ad ministration has now been in power for k t euty years, and whereas the late hndtield. Macdonald, who was a good -business man, left iu the treasury a handsome surplus,- the present Ontario government had not only dissipated eat surplus, but had actually run the province in debt to the tune of $2,900,000 besides squandering millions of dollars Ea the sale of timber limits that can never be replaced. According to a statement of Mr. G. F. Marter, M. P. P., at a late public meeti g, there is at present a provincial deficit of over $3,- 142,000; and this according to the fig- ures of the Provincial Treasurer. Not only that—but the Mowat government had been reckless in its expenditure; and to make soft places for their politi- cal ' friends, had divided counties and shrievalties,—thus adding im- mensely to the public burden. By the fee system, which enhanced the. taxes of the people while giving Iarge sala- Wies to partisans for whom Mr. Mowat provided, public confidence has been forfeited; and now there was a very general desire to have the Augean stable cleansed, and a leader chosen of hnsiness capacity—one who will re trench and enconomize so as to bring the affairs of this province out of chaos into something like order. It is gener ally conceded that Mr. W. R Meredith is the "coming man," and as he has shown a clean record in the past and. originated many of the best mea- sures adopted by the provincial Legis- lature he is the most fitting person to assume the reins of power and conduct our provincial affairs on a sound and economical basis. Issues, and we predict an era Of pros- oeiity for Canada that will excite the envy of foreigners and call forth the gratitude and admiration of all true. British subjeets. "ROT IN 1."Vt. Mr, S. M. Sanders. who was nominat- ed by the Patrons of industry at atm - salt a few weeks ago for the Legislat, ure, has, we are creditably informed, withdrawn from the field, It was en- tirely, against Mr. Sanders' wish to accept the nomination in the first place, but when urged upon by certain mem- - bers at the convention, decided to staud • with the understanding that his Patron friends would support him, But since that time a change has taken place and he is now virtually "not in it." He, has learned to his utter disappointment that they are not wring to be his friends through the campaign and therefore de- clines to proceed further, We under- stand a convention is soon to be called to select another candidate, CANADIAN PROSPERITY. In the face of phenomenal commer Wel depression in thea neighboring Republic, it is satisfactory to know that Canada enjoys such a measure of ..laancialsoundness and commercial prosperity. A most gratifying exhibit fo furnished by the latest published 'bulletin of trade returns for the past Sia months. They give the valuation of extorts at $77,504,390, thus showing an increase over the corresponding period of the preyious year, of $3,247,- 833. 'I he imports for' the same period show an increase in round numbers of half a million dollars. These figures must convince the most sceptical that Canada's commercial standing is sound, and that our people enjoy a remarkable degree of prosperity. Only the other day some ill-natured pessimist front Manitoba cabled to England a message Wasting that the North West was in a very depressed condition. This, how aver, has been neutralized first by a public speech made by Sir Chas. 'Tup- per, up- per, our High Commissioner, who is. ever on the outlook for the interests of Commie; and, still later, the eyiI report cabled from Manitoba has been flatly contradicted by Mr. Van Horne, presid- ent of the C. P. R., who reports that western country to be in a fairly good ato'idition. The very fact mentioned by thee. Van Horne that the farmers are bolding their wheat in expectation of higher prices, is proof of that, When. Ile all this is added the hopeful prospect est in sight of extending commercial relations with other countries,, and particularly the opening up and early development of trade with Australia and the antipodeans, through the • mission of Hon.MacKenzia Bowel!, minister of trade and conimerse, which is already bearing good fruit, ---it is not See much to assert that we seem to be on the eve of unexampled prosperity, And we have no doubt, that the four Members of Cabinet—including the Ole. Minister of finance -who are now BarsiTy'occupied in arranging the new Or improved tarriff for the special bene ZS of farmers and some other classes in fie• community, wilt give at the ap• .poaching session of Parliament a good atettlett of themselves. Only let our 'telae•-vativcs be true to their political antecedents, asoitiaitg cal leecltes,t side. The Retail Grocers' association pro- poses asociaton p poses to ask that the law be ammended so that the civil servants' salaries may be garnisheed. The association is work- ing' backwards. It ought to do every- thing' in its power toabolish the system. In the case of civil servants the grocer has the matter in his own hand—he can refuse to give credit. But there are grocers who perfer the credit sys- tem for the reason that customers buy more freely when they do not have to pay cash down, and it is in the interest of these that the change is . proposed. If the government, instead of helping the debt collectors, would wipe out the whole machinery for the collection of debts it would be . doing the country a very great service, Electric Lighting.

I was also paralyzed on my right Side for six years, and was un- able to write or do any work. Last winter I was confined, to my room with pains in my stomach, back and head, also with inflammatory rheumatism. A friend brought me a newspaper and directed my attention to the almost miraculous benefits that resulted from the use of Paine's Celery. Compound. I then decided to try three bottles, and have, from the use of the remedy, ex perienced grand results, The pains have disappeared and I feel a great deal Stronger. I fully believe that I have at last found$the precious remedy, I owe you unbounded gratitude, and will proclaim it to all the world, so that our poor suffering humanity may deriye all the benefits that yonr mcdi cine can give.

Electric Light fOr Exeter. A public meeting was held at the Town Hall on Friday evening and al- though the meeting was very unfavor• able was largely attended, showing the. keen interest taken in the matter by the ratepayers, The Reeve took the chair and explained the object of the meeting: Namely to get the opinion of the people as to the advisability of se- curing electric lighting for the town Mr. Elliot asked if the council had any proposition to submit to the people or. any information regarding expense etc, but elicted no reply. Mr. A. J. Rollins being called on re sponded briefly. He said Exeter was noted as a good town, had good streets and sidewalks, buildings fit for any city, but was behind many smaller places with respect to lighting, in fact it was dangerous to people's brains to walk our streets as the lights we had were not sufficient to discover the dark- ness, let aiot,e the lamp re sts. He thoght the whole expense to the town would not exceed of a mill in the $ and for his was strongly in favor of electric lighting, even should be have to pay a much larger sum to secure it. Mr. Bobier followed saying he came to the meeting to hear what the people had to say on the subject rather than to make a speech. He was strongly in favor of electric lighting and thought it should be secured by all means -and not remain in the wake of smaller places any longer. Mr. T. H. McCallum said he was in favor of electric light, and had brought the matter before the Council last year but got no support, Was not prepared to say what the cost would be, but bad as the lights we have they are apprecia- ted if we judge by the grumbling we hear whenthey are not lighted. He thought the council should secure good and sufficient lighting if it did cost one. or one mill and a quarter in the dollar. Mr. T. B. Carling came to listen, not to speak. He wanted information on the subject. hTe was in favor of elect- ric lighting i.f it could be had at a reasonable price, but was not in ' favor of the corporation running the machine He was uilling to fall in with the wish- es of the people and said the cost would amount to somewhere.in the neighbor hood of one mill in the dollar, and ,that would be sufficient to pay the interest on $10,000. Would like to have the voice of the people in the matter, Mr. Taylor came to hear from the people. He heard that the Council were censured for calling this meeting but thought they were right in asking he advice of the people on this as well is:all important matters, Personally he was in favor of electric light, and if he people were in favor o it, would do his best to make a good bargain for tihe town. He was also in favor of ighting some of the back streets. Mr. I3ardey said he had nothing to ffer on the subject but thought only reeholders should vote on the matter. Mr. Howard gave some prices paid y other places for electric light,-Not- bly, London, 25c. per light; St Thomas Sc. and. Mitchell 14c; but he claimed to e able to give a superior light for 18c. choice of two systems and all modern mprovements, and had no doubt if once ntroduced the people would not , he ithout"them at any cost, and the. mount paid for the lights would never e felt by any ratepayers. It was time xeter took he: stand in improvements f this kind when such places as Port lbert, Glencoe and other less import- nt places would not be without them. We have every facility of keeping ahead nstead of bringing up the rear. He ould put in ten lights at 15c,whichcan of be equalled in any place less 20c per ght. He wanted ten years franchise nd would submit to a fixed rate ' of axation and run from dark until 12 'clock every night. Mr. D. A, Ross said he thought the. ouncil were right in calling this pub• c meeting. He had not considered he matter of electric light and did not ountthe cost to the village. He was ersonally in favor of electric light and ought our town should have a better stem of lighting Mr, R Pickard was strongly in favor electric lightning and would be set- tled to pay their share of extra ex - nee to secure it. r. Hartnell advocated it very strong - and would not grumble if he., had a ttle more taxes to pay to, secure it for e front street although living on the ek was of thee opinion it would ad- nte the general welfare Of the town.
