THE ' MEREDITJL PLATFORM.
The political campaign for the pro-
v'iucial elections was opened in Lon-
don by the distinguished leader of the
Conservative opposition, W. R. Mere-
dith Esq., Q. C., in a rousing speech
given before thousands of people as-
sembled in the ;rand Opera house on
May 21st. Briefly stated, the several
planks in Mr. Meredith's platform—as
outlined in his magnificent address to
the citizeus of London—are as follows:
1. The extravagant waste by the
Mowat Government of Ontario's timber
Tamils.
2. The incurred indebtedness of
Ontario to the extent of two million
and a quarter,
8. The undeveloped mineral wealth
of this Province.
4. The manipulation by the Mowat
government of the liquor license sys-
tem for political purposes.
.5. The refusal by the Mowat ad-
ministration to grant a ballot system
an voting, so as to secure a free and
independent electorate.
6. The mismanagement of the ed-
emotional affairs of Ontario for political
purposes:
Z. The encouragement of the race
and creed cry by which Protestants
and Roinanists are embittered and
made hostile in their interests.
Such are the several counts in the
Meavy fudictment for which the Mowat
administration is arraigned at the bar
of public opinion. Oii the 26th day of
June the electors of this Province will
be called upon to say whether they
will choose between a corrupt and wil-
fully extravagant government, or a
Conservative leader who is pledged to
economy and useful legislation, and to
free and equal right to be enjoyed by
e.v.try citizen in the State,
The Methodist church is taking a
wise course in seriously considering
whether disciplinary rulesfor the regu-
lation of the amusements of its mem-
bers—rules which cannot be. strictly
enforced—should b.: retained, Ar,
present a 'Methodist cannot play a
game of whist or witness a perforn -
aaee of Hamlet, or go to a circus, or
participate in adancoor attend in a
race meeting, or drink a glass of ale,
-without violating a rule of his church
and making Himself liable to be discip
lined. That many upright, God fear-
ing Methodists do these things, and do
them with a clear conscience, is notor-
ious; and they are not called to ac
count. If, then, each church member
is to be "a law unto himself" in the
matter of amusements, why retain a
set of useless prohibitory rules?
So far, sixtyfive Reformers, fifty-
seyen Conservatives, forty-three Pat -
sons, nine P. P. A. and two indenend-
ent candidates are said to have beet
placed in the field in the Provincial
election contest. We are inclined to
believe there will be wailing and
gnashing of teeth among the greatest
number in the coutest after the 26th of
Zune.
Items of Interest.
The extent to which the bicycle
mania has spread throughiut Ontario
is shown by thefat.t that since January
1 there has been $225,000 worth of
bicycles and parts of bicycles passed
through the custom house at Toronto.
31. there is added to this, the amount
entered at Hamilton, London and Mont
zeal, and the output of the factories in
Canada, the total will be.a most sur-
prising figure.
A COAL Fssear E,—The continua nee
of the Pennsylvania coal miners' sti eke
is threatening serious consequence en
this side of the line, whereever as in
Ontario, the American mines have
been depended on to supply fuel. The
G. T. R. authorities announced a few
days ago that they had but three
week's supply on hand, and a general
seduction has been made in their train
iervice and work shop. Shippers have
been notified that until further ad
vised the company cab only receive
for transportation butter, cheese eggs,
grain flour, potatoes, turnips, roots and
general mereha iidise of urgent character
. Lumber, cordwood and other forest pro-
ducts, hay straw, ice, Utilizers and all
building material, such as granite,
'Ams, brick, clay and other course
freight, will not be received for trans-
portation unless under special author
ity.
Tun Sista INDUSTRY —There has
leen a good deal of anxiety amongst
the salt men over the proposal in the
tariff as brought down, to admit salt
free of duty. It was pointed out that
if this was catriod out it would mean
the closing up of nearly all the Cana-
dia.tt welts, unless some clnces.lon was
evade to the manufacturer, in his fuel
at least, Last we el: Minister Fester
announced alnougst other Changes
ifeOt1t the original schedule, the f011
OW
as to salt.
"Salt line in bulk and coarse salt, n,
e, s.. 5 cents per 100 pupils,
"Salt in bags, barrels or other pack-
ages, the bags, barrels or packages to
pear the same duty as if imported:
empty 7* cents ptr 100 pounds."
This Is the same rate as under the
p.
oldsalt was sold 0( tariff, and a, belly SO l
almost eost, it is not likely that the
slight proteetion now restored will
meet with much objection.

LOST OR STOLEN—On Thursday even-

the misfortune to either lose or have
stolen from his pocket a large sum of
money. If lost the finder will be suit

thief is caught he will have the full
benefit of the law. Their has been
several cases of such sneak -thieving in
our village within the last few years.
Surely Mr. Longfiugers will be caught
yet, and we sincerely hope he may.

GOOD ADvic11. Drivers should re-
member that a man who wants to go
faster than they do has a right to pass
him on the road. If he is prevented by
the other and an accident happens be-
cause of the latter's interference,
the obstructionist is responsible for the
damage, No man in the eyes of the
law has a right to infringe on the
rights of his neighbor or check the
latter in passing. He, is in fact, oblig-
ed to assist him to pass. There is a
large number of people i.n every com
munity who do not seem to appreciate
this fact, Riders on bicycles are also
entitled to haye half the road: If com•
palled to turn out in rough places,
they are likely to break their wheels.
and in that case would have a good
action for damages.
Aylmer Express:—"Mr Richard
White showed us the pieces of tho hoof,
of one of his horses, w hick he says were
cut ori by his hired man a few days
previous. The man's name is James
Hawthorn, and Mr. White can conceive
of no reason for the act, except that he
wanted Mr. White to discharge him
and took this means to,secure his dis-
charge. The hoofs were cut off away
back in the quick, and measured in
one place 11 inches to depth. A chisel
and mallet were used to do the work,
and they were covered with blood, and
the horse was standing in a big pool of
blood when Mr. White came home.
The poor animalsuffered terrible
agony, and for several days did not
attempt to stand, but lay on its side
and kept its foot moving backwards
and forwards with the pain, If there
is a society for the prevention of cruel-
ty to animals in the country, this is a
case that should be looked into, as it
looks to us like one of the worst pieces
of cruelty we have ever heard of.
The Palmerston Telegraph is respon
Bible for the following illustration of
caninea sagacity. Not long ago there
was a farmer who used to come to
town every week. This man had two
dogs, onea big powerfulerfi
1 mastiff who
used to guard the premises while the
farmer was away, and the other. a
bright little terrier that always rode to
market ou the seat with his master.
One day when the farrier stopped at a
house on the way to deliver some veg-
etables a large; dog rushed out of the
yard and seized the little terrier by the
neck and would have killed him but
for the timely interference of his mast-
er, The next day, when a mile or so
on his way to town, the farmer discov
ered that his big dog was following
the wagon, he oidered him back, but
the dog would not obey; he cut him
with his whip, but still the dog re
mained resolute. Finally the farmer
gave it up and continued on his way.
Wuen they came to the scene of the
conflict of the previous day, the same
large dog flew out again to attack the
little one, whereupon the big• dog. who
had concealed himself under the wagon
to await developements, fell upon the
enemy with such fury that it was with
difficulty he could be restrained from
putting an end to him altogether. All
this time the little terrier was perched
upon the seat almost harking his heart
out for joy. After the dogs were separ-
ated the big one evidently regarded
his mission fulfilled, as he at once trot-
ted home by himself.
They tell a veru funny story about
a London couple who went to Stratford
to spend the Queen's Birthday. When
they arrived at St. Marys they had to
wait for connections on the main line
and both the young man and his girl
strolled into the waiting room. As
they got off the train they noticed an
unusual crowd on the platform ,for a
small town who seemed to eve the
young couple very curiously. In the
waiting room the same crowd and in-
terest prevailed and the young man
proposed a stroll on the platform and a
smoke, No sooner had he turned his
back to depart than both the young
lady and himself found theselves
suddenly transformed
ansforrned into a target for
rice and old slippers. They scampered
to the car and the young man endeav-
ored to explair., as he worked the rice
out of his eyes and hair and wriggled
uneasily as the seeds wandered dowu
his neck, that a mistake batt been made
and that they had got somebody else's
rice. As he did so he noticed a coach
drawn up at the side of the station.
It was decorated piofnsedly with white
ribbons and everything betokening a
marriage. But there most have been
a close resemblance between the party
expected and the party who got the
rice, as one young woman crowded
past the young man in the car and
prepared to give his companion a regit-
Jar' birthday trouncing with alt old
shoe. Then the young woman got
mad clear up to her eyebrows tied,
Whipping off her veil, she prepared to
give the mistaken one a thrashing
with her umbrella. Just then the
train pulled, in with the right party on
b nr end what t little rice was left
mals
o d
used with good effect. Tho affair
caused much amusement w hen the
mistake become known.

As We
as Ever
After Taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
Cured of a Serious Disease.
"I was suffering from what is known as
Bright's disease for five years, and for days at a
time I have been unable to straighten myself
up. I was in bed for throe weeks; during that
time I had leeches applied and derived no bene-
fit. Seeing Hood's Sarsaparilla advertised in
the papers I decided to try a bottle. I found
relief before I had finished taking half of a bot -
tie. I got so much help from taking the first
bottle that I decided to try another, and since
taking the second bottle 1 feel as well as ever
I dict in my life." GEo. MEiuulTT, Toronto, Ont.

"0. I. Hood Si Co., Lowell, Hass.:
"Dear Sirs—I felt it my duty to let you know
the good Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for me.
I hare been troubled with summer complaint
for years, unable to do anything. I tried
everything but seemed to get no relief. Then
I became avictim of the grip and was left in a
dreadful state, so weak I could scarcely work
and when I did I worked in misery. The doctor
said I lead Bright's disease. My kidneys were
in dreadful condition. I found one of your
papers at my door, and on reading it decided to
Sarsap r'i0la
give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial, thinking at the
time it was not mull use as nothing helped me
before. But, thank God, I got relief after the
first bottle. I kept on taking it and used five
bottles ; am now a cured man; never felt better.
I have loudly recommended Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla, for 1 owe my life to it and hope this may
be the means of leading others to give it a fair
trial." JOSHUA SMITH, Norwich .Ave., "Wood-
