EriEQTQRAL EUBP:Rah..7S.
We have got accustomed of late
years to eleetorel surprises, out the re -
slut of last week's bye-eleetfou in Lan-
doll has. been more than a surprise to
both political parties, However much
the Conservatiye may regretthe fact
that London city has for the first time
in its experience returned a grit to
Parltameut,-yet, on calm reflection.
there are reasons amply sufficient to
accountfor this unexpected result,
The gentleman who represented that
.eonscitueney for twenty two years was
deservedly popular, because possessed
cf qualities which gave him a strong
hold on the sympathies of his fellow
citizens. And yet, even Mr; Meredith s.
majority at the last general election
was greatly reduced from what it had
been on all previous occasions. Can-
not this be accounted for? We think
it can. Mr. Meredith had brokeh a
lance with Arch -bishop Cleary on the
subject of separate schools; and this
same cry has been since taken' up,
wisely or unwisely, by the Protestant
Protective Association whose tactics
have aroused the Ro eau Catholic ele-
ment, and tended greatly to embitter
the relations existing between Protest-
ants and Catholics. Where were the
P. P. A's, Whose organization was said
to be so powerful in numbers, that they
allowed their candidate to be snowed
under by a majority of 800?
Another element entering into mod
cern politics is the Temperance question
and the strong effort made by certain
parties to carry prohibition. This had
much to do with the rejection of Mr.
Essery in London. He posed as a pro-
hibitionist, as well as a P. P. A. sup-
porter—so did also Mr. Marter, M, P. P.
the new leader of the Ontario Conserv-
atives, who backed up i ssery's candi-
dature at all his meetings; and to the
everlasting disgrace of the so-called
Temperance prohibitionists, instead of
consistently supporting the man who
pledged himself to voice the sentiments,
if elected, they sank their temperance
principles and voted grit. Is it any
wonder Essery was defeated, when the
Roman Catholic votes and those of the
liquor dealers combined with the Tem-
perance supporters of Sir Oliver,
but the intemperate opponent of the
candidate who promised to give them
prohibitory legislation, -and when one
and all were massed solid for Hobbs?
Mr. Essery might well say: "Save me
from my friends"!—oras he isreported
to have said: "We have had a picture
to -day of christain temperance' people
.and saloon keepers arm-in-arm—the
most wretched combination on the face
of the earth." It would require a
stronger man even than Mr. Essery to
resist successfully the triple Alliance of
(?', R C's, P. P. A's and Prohibitionists.
The moral lesson, which reads like the
most exciting page of the latest novel,.
is this: "Trust ye not in any brother;
for every brother will utterly supplant."
The probabilities are that the London
election will be protested on account of
certain dark doings and corrupt in-
fluences employed to sustain Sir Oliver
Mowat's tottering administration.

alai fell in love off -handed They were
married on his twenty first birthday.
Their issue cousists of six boysand one
daughter. The Empress is a devoted
wife and mother looks after her
household—retires at half past ten and
rises at six in the Morning --makes
her husband's coffee --takes the deepest
interest in her .children's studies. and

and sew, knit and d trn, bake and
brew, as well as any German woman
in the Empire.—Perhaps, site. can

In addition to her household duties,
which demands her first attention, the
German Empress gathers around her
a group of young ladies belonging to
the Court, and they make needlework
to help the poor. She is. beloved by
her seryauts, because, unlike many
mistresses of humbler pretentious, she
believesindoing everything to make
them contented and happy—eYen to
seeing that their bed rooms are cheefrul
and attraative. Such model women as
the Empress of Germany would do
much to put an end to the insane cry
of "woman's rights", and contribute to
he happiness of a wronged humanity.

Rheumatism is primarily caused by
acidity of the blood, Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla purifies the blood, and thus cures

Bayfield: A despatch from Chicago
says, that the ''Eddy" is uuloading
coal there, so that the bottle with the
letter in it found near Bayfield is evi-
dently a hoax.
Sharon: On Wednesday, while Mrs,
Louis Dayie was working about the
house she fell clown cellar with a lamp
in her hand. She sustained internal
injuries, besides cuts and bruises on
the head, and was unconscious for
many days.
Parkhill: Mr. John Andersor, a .re-
spected resident of East Williams, and
brother of Messrs. Wm and James An-
derson, of this place, died very sudden-
ly on Sunday. He was sick only a
few hours. Inflammation of the bow
els was the cause of death.
Shipka place: Thise! being Mapped
by telephone on the line from Grand
Bend to Parkhill. Some months ago
au agitation was abroad to have a tele -
hone line from Exeter to Kirkton and
Woodham. ;eHas the project fallen
thoough, or is it to materialize? No
local line could line could possibly pay
hro Company better.
Parkhill: On Friday last Mrs. J. G.
Munroe was taking the baby carriage
down stairs, walking backward, ahead
of it, but the weigh of the carriage was
too much for her and she fell from the
third step to the bottom, with the car-
riage on top of her, Strange to say,
she was not hurt and the vehicle was
not much the worse.
Hensel': Mr. Richard Blatchford, of
Lamoure, Dakota, and who was one of
our pioneer business men, of the firm
of Blatchford Brothers, blacksmiths and
carriage makers, pleasantly surprised
his many relatives and friends in this
section the end of last week, by unex-
pectedly dropping in upon them, after
an absense of fourteen years.
A MODEL YVOAILN.
In these days of "woman's rights,"
it is well that we have left us a few
anodes specimens of what women ought
to be. Passing over our own beloved.
Sovereign—who as wife, mother, and
monarch, has nobly' fulfilled her voca-
tion in every sphere—we have an il-
lustrious example of womanhood in the
person of the German Empress, who in
the opinion of her husband exemplifies
the Kaiser's idea.] of what a woman
,ought to be. The present Emperor of
Germany has no patience with blue
stocking, or , with the emancipated
woman of modern times. He believes
in a man possessing for his partner in
life one who will prove a "help -mate"
for him, To use his own language he
prefers "a wife who can make jam to
one who can discuss a constitution," or
perambulate the Empire on a lecturing
tour- His ideal of woman seems to be
one who devotes her, life to the three
K's—or, as it would read in English, to
the three eel --Church, Children and
Cooking! The love story of Emperor
William II and his wife, is exceeding-
ly interesting. He was only twenty
years of age; and, passing along one
day on a shooting excursion, he spied
at pretty girl of his own age sleeping
in a hammock under a rustle rose
:coyered summer house, He went along
thinking of a german poem known as
the "]friar Rose." Later oti in the day
the young Kaiser not the same pretty
girl in the Castle, gave her the salu-
tation: "Oh! here Is my briar rose

SENTENCES BY JUDGE.
The seed is stronger than the soil.
False alarms create false securieties. .
Our pre-existent habits are our present
tendencies.
In the whirligig of time some one must
take the dust.
Life is a combination of which the secret
is not given.
The mundane world is conducted on the
defensive plan.
Fidelity is the conservative preserver of
type, custom and race.
When a thing is hard to endure some-
thing harder may come to make it easier.
If nature were to disclose her processes

inventions.
Praise not a servant too greatly, lest he
be puffed up and masterful; nor too little,
lest he be discouraged.
Homely truths are like home remedies
—apt at tunes, but applied upon every oc-
casion whether they fit the case or not.—
Kathrine Grosjean.
Cromarty: Robert Hoggarth, with
commendable enterprise, , has bought
out his brother Richard's farm, on the
10th concession. and also taken nuto
himself a wife, in the person of iv1iss
Bella McKellar, of this place, which
huppy event took place on Wednesday,
last week. We hope that their jouru•
ey down life's turbid stream at worst
may be pleasont.
Usborne: "Mr. Robert Creery, sr, of
Usborne, came to town Tuesday in
search of his former hired man, who
had taken what did not belong to him
and decamped, It appears that the
man wanted, had worked for Mr.
Creery during the harvest and left
when his time expired. He arrived
Sunday ostensibly on a visit at hts
former employer's residence in Usborne
and stayed over night but cleared out
early Monday -morning. After his de
parture a quantity of clothing was
missed and $6 in cash from the trouser
pocket of George Highton, the hired
boy, Mr. Creery has every reason to
suspect him of the thefts and has given
information that may lead to his ar-
rest.—St. Marys Journal.
Seaforth: The new Electric Ligh
Power House had a close call from des
struction by fire on Sunday last. Mr,
Ingram, the Electrician, happened to
go down there after church to see if all
was right. Wli.en he entered the dyn•
arm room he was astonished to find the
piece filled with smoke. HesoOn notic-
ed that it was coming from the engine
house, and on opening the engine house
door the smoke was so dense he could
scarcely get in. Ile crawled on his
hands and knees to where the fire seem -
cd to be, and discovered a blaze almost
reaching to the roof. He coon had
water on it and got it put Out, b, t had
it not been noticed for half an hour
longer the consequences would have
been serious, .A. wheelbarrow and
some boxes were burned. This was
all the damage done. It is thotight
the fire caught from a pile of cotton
waste that had been used in cleaning
the machinery and was saturated with
Oil.
FASHION FADS.
Cut -away jackets of velvet are much
liked by young girls.
Sleeveless jackets of various materials
with passementerie edgings are - popular.
A dress of cloth with a narrow moire
panel down the front is among the new
importations.
Muffs are somewhat larger than hereto-
fore. Many muffs will be used during the
coming winter without other firs.
Capes of moire are trimmed with fur
collars and lined with bright silk. One of
the handsomest of these garments was
recently made to order and lined with very
stiff brocade.
Ermine, from becoming popular, has
become a fad, and every woman who has
money to buy it wants ermine in some
form or another. The only difficulty is its
scarcity and extravagantly high price.
Really fine ermine is almost impossible to
obtain, and the most fabulous prices are
paid for it—N. Y. Ledger..
BAYONET POINTS.
