Te silver and gold question is ou 1i`;a i.0 the United States at the, present s",,•z' te. In Canada, the buy -for -cash is the s::a'olem. Buying goods au credit is entee ply a. matter of habit, as every mer • tetent and a great many farmers know, if people could not obtain credit they sold find. some means of paying cash for their purchases, The best proof of <• :s is found in - the case of railroad neelling. People who know that if i°rey do vat pay cage for their -tickets e ey eaunot travel. The fact is Dot :regarded as a hardship, it is accepted as a matter of course and when rich or ?Dor want to go any place the money lee the trip is promptly forth coming, Blew is it that a rule which works all ri;,li;t in one business, will not work e :4,faetorily in ;mother ? .Why should ies le; more of a hardship to pay cash fe•r dry goods, groceries and other reeessaries of life, than to pay cash for Ireil road tickets? All that the change ?'re•ea credit to cash means is Simply n ter of laying low for a few weeks tt mouths and catching up. It is just. n ;easy gaud a good deal cheaper: and veltainly more satisfactory to pay for „:,els when you buy them, as it is to 7�`:y for them a week ora munch after - lairds. People who buy on credit are eetn.s lee into purchasiug things they me get :Jong very well without, and ::,id way they keep on mortgaging 1i:'r future, the money earned to -day J:;sa to pay the purchases of yesterday, bile the purchases of today are r't,ered against the earnings of to - never. In this way life becomes n.,:ing but a soul -wearying attempt ,;lirlb to gine top of the mountain that rice. proportionately higher with every ecep up its aide. The credit habit is es for everybody and must be dis. e; rbed. ?uTI:;It'4 LISTS FOR TIIE BY - Now . Now that the thirty -day limit is y: ssed, and the country cannot escape paying each member of Parliament a full thousand dollar.i for his attendance at this °' extra session," it may possibly .eeanz wise to the Government to let %frena make e. greater pretence of earn- . im their indemity by doing a little 'aseisled logi rating. The proposal that Parliament shall adjourn and not pro, re ne when it has finally decided to ,~suit work t" this autumn is a good nee butproloegen scissions before have been aceompani •1by votes of increas- rb indemnity. au that the country will :nit rejoice too confidently aver the gain areal if an adjournment is made, Yet a'roetlling mightbedone towardsdamp- ill; :lack this demand for a bonus by ;setting some work out of the way this year, and thus making it possible to fora sborter time next spring. .ane task that might very profitably lis disposed of, is the repeal of the Fran- celbise Act and the substitution therefore la ,. Manhood suffrage measure. The ,political probabilities predict thecomin' 1. rl covey of byelections in the near ! 'ere: and it wou'd h: nothing short of a seandai to hold the contests on vot- ers'fists that were old last June. They *rennet be fully two years old before any leetlections can be brought about. To W.V. these lists would mean at the out- election, audinsist that they know whereof they write•. Now these coming. by,olectioas are going to be eritiea the extreme. Neither party Will b elined to spare its energies in the test. What a piece of folly, then; to put it more strongly—to thrust the hauds of the combatants in t crucial contests a voter's list that vites corruption with a long ton,, These will be the olectious when, in than on ordinary accessions, ev gateway to dishonest politics ought be closed. At all events, the voters' which is the basis of the whole cont 1 in o in - can. —not into hese in- lee! ore ery to list, est,, should be en honest one, .A stale list can never be honest, and presents the corrupt politician with his easiest oppor- tunity, The by-elections, moreover, won af- ford - td a£ ford an excellent chance to test on a small scale and under careful inpection the working of any new manhood suf fra;e act that Parliament might adopt. Faults could be seen andcorrected, omissionssupplied,weaknesses strength ened, ati before the law was called upon to do duty in a general election. It is a capital chance to try such a measure, and there is abundant reason for the pressing of it through Parliament at this time in the shockingly stale con- dition of the existing lists, This Lib- eral Governmentwould hardly venture upon another revision of the old kind; and even if it were minded to do so, there is not time before any by•elections that may occur prior to the t,'Iext session, The simplest way out of the difficulty is to pass at once a manhood suffrage measure. AMPIPSIOMIMOMMAIMOMPINAHIMME American Eyes It is not strange that some of the leading American newspapers are won- dering how it is possible to publish so large and so excellent a paper as the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal is for one dollar a year. It must be the enormous cireulatiou of the Family Herald and Weekly Star that enables its publishers to issue it at the price. Each issue of the Family Herald and Weekly Star eoutaius one hundred and twenty-eight full columns and by actual count what each subscrib er to it gets in one year is equal to the contents of fifty bound volumes, each having two hundred and fifty pages, and such valuable matter, too. Every line that goes into the Family Herald and Weekly Star must cost money, for its publishers seem to act as if they would have none but the best. We would be afraid to estimate what the publishers of the Family Herald must expend eaeh year to sustain the high reputation of their paper. Its great circulation tells the story. Sure to Win. The people recognize and appreciate real merit. That is why Hoods's Sar- saparilla has the largest sales in the world. Merit in medicine means the power to cure.

Its superior merit is an established fact, and merit wins, Hood's Pills are easy to take, easy to operate, Cure indigestion, headache, Robt.

More than that, those who lava left the country during that time lava yet on these !belated lists the right to vote; while all who have mov- ed from one constituency to another, tenet vote where they now live but slave the right to vote where they can- mot be canvassed and identified.

A volunteer Talton Into custody on His Return From Camp—Offering Gottnter- felt Tokens for Sale, Owen Sound, Sept. 29.—This morning at eight o'clock Inspector 'Rogers of the Ontario Criminal Investigation Depart- went arrested Samuel Penny here for offering, by writing letters, to sell coun- terfeit tokens oi' value and also for using a fictitious name: In carrying out his schemes. It seems that Penny has been in the business .since March last, at which time, at least, he rented a box in the peat-oftioe. A short time slime a party to whom Penny had sent a oiroular offer- ing to sell tho ooanterfeie tokens . for- warded the circular to the Ontario Crim- inal Investigation Department at Toronto. with the result that . it was asoortained that Penny was renting the post -office box number 108 here. " Immediately a decoy letter wast sent to box 10S, and In- spector Rogers carne here one week ago - to -day. Penny, however, was at camp (Niagara) with the thirty -,first battalion, Owen Sound. Inspector•. , Rogers went back to Toronto, returning here Satur- day, on which day the soldiers came from camp. This morning while the inspeotor was watching the box Penny name to the post -office and, took from his box four letters. ` He was at once arrosted,whon it was found that they were of an incrim- inating nature, Inspector Rogers also went to Penny's residence and made a search, obtaining other evidence whioh will prove damaging to the prisoner at hist i zeal Penny any came before F. M. George Spencer at ten o'clock, when he was remanded for one week. Mr. A. G. Mackay appeared on behalf of the Crown, Mr, H. G. Tucker has been employed by the prisoner. A BRUTAL ASSAULT. A 'ivldow Lady of Durham Robbed and Assaulted by a iilau Who lied Asked for Something to Iiat. Durham, Sept. 29,—.Last night a man broke into the house of Mrs, A. E. Hinds, a widow, stole a small sum of money and brutally assaulted her. Her young son, awakened by the noise, ran downstairs to awaken two young nien boarders, , The little fellow was so dis- tracted, al! he could say was go up stairs. Thinking perhaps the house was on fire, and hurriedly dressing, ono ran outside, while the other ran upstairs. When reaching the top step he saw the. man julep through a window on to the kitchen roof, but before the alarm could be given no trace of hint' could be found. Its seems the brute called at the house in the afternoon and asked for something to eat, which Mrs. Hinds gave him. While eating be asked where the boss was. She replied that she was the boss. She noticed that he took a survey of the room before leavin ;, and from this, she is confident that it was the sante one who committed the deed. This is the description she gave: Height, five feet tdh, age about forty, dark moustache, soft rowdy hat, black grey shirt ani black necktie, good black clothes, but somewhat worn. The above description has been sent to surrounding places, and everything is being done to try and catch the villain. OPERATORS' STRIKE. C. I'. It. Telegraph Operators Demand an Increase of Wages. Toronto, Sept ' 29.—A strike which may or may not assume widespread pro- portions was inaugurated at nine o'clock last evening Among the railroad tele- graphers on the Canadian Pacific rail- way. While it was understood to have bean ordered over the entire :system, at the hour of midnight all the lines west of this city were working. The Toronto eperators were on duty at midnight, but between hers and Montreal they have nearly all gone out, In Montreal the trouble has assumed formidable propor- tions. There are between 400 and 500 men enyployed on the system, many of whom belong to the Order of Railway Telegraphers. The strike was ordered from Montreal, probably upon the recom- mendation of a committee, but the men were called out by their thief, Mr. T. M. Pierson, of Peoria, 111, The strike has been inaugurated for increased wages, varying according to different statements from 10 to 50 per cent. higher than those as present paid, shorter hours and no station duty. The natuxe of this latter demand becomes clear when it is known that station duty constitutes almost the entire wort: of operators at small stations, the messages to be sent not amounting to more than an hour's work a clay at many places. Belleville. Belleville, Sept. 29.—Tessa W. Minor, for nine years a prominent and respected resident, died here euddenlythismorning at the age of 05. Death is believed to have been caused by over exertion 6'h a bicyole. Mr. Minor was a prominent Mason and was a Past Master of Step- henson Lodge, Toronto. He was consid- ered to be exceptionally well informed in the ritual of the craft. Time it was with no little surprise that his friends learned that a few days previous to his death he had been received into the Roman Cath- olic Church and that he died in that faith. He was born near Port Colborne and resided at various times in bis life at St. Thomas, St. Catharines, Owen Sound, Buffalo, New York and Toronto. Suffocated in a Burning Rouse. Kingston, Sept. fib.—A very sad affair happened pp eed here this morning. About four o'clock fire started , in the residence of Mrs.1?hillips, a washer -woman, on Queen street., One of her children was awakened by smoke, and he alarmed the others, Mrs. .Phillips got her children, four in number, oat of the house safely, and went. back to save a boarder, Miss Aclstt. While Mrs. Phillips was in, the building she was overcome by smoke, and suffo- cated before the firemen could reach her. when they found her . she was lying on her lace lifeless, in one of the back rooms. In the meantime 1\iiss Adsit had escaped by -a bank window. The build- ing, whish was destroyed, was owned by Ald. J. S. Skinner, and is assessed for $800. Looks Like MIurder. Woodstock, Ont, Sept, 57.—Levi Gardi- ner, a colored roan, aged 88, was yes- terday morning,' about half -past eight," found dead in his house, a bullet from a pistol having passed clean through his head. All the circumstances surrounding the case seern to point conclusively to murder, and the chief evidence of this is the fact that no 'pistol couldbe found any'w}ere in the house, Two ,afeests have been made on suspicion. The prisoners are Hattie, " the wife of deceased, and William MoCombus, a negro who is re- ported to have been a frequent visitor at the Gardner house when the husband was out working on a y -farm in'"Dereham As Jchn Black, of Largie, with a number of others was hel lin • to d a threshing machine into a barn the other day the machine swerved and the table struck Mr. Black on the face, breaking his nose and inflicting a se- vere wound on his forehead, which re- quired several stitches. A lad•named Harrison was attacked by a furious dog Wednesday night just back of the G. T. R. station, Parie. The animal, which is a small one, ran up behind and gave him a severe bite on the leg and then made his escape. A very sudden deathoccurred on the farm of Mr. David Nichols, Westminster Sunday. The fifteen -year-old daughter of Mr, Johu Barney, of Lambeth was at work at the farm house, when she suddenly fell over and wasdead before relief could be afforded her. Heart die. ease is the supposed cause. Tone, a twelve year-old daughter of Mr. Littler, of the G. T., Paris, while playing around her home Wednesday received a nasty fall. She was running at the time and tripper over a water bucket, falling on it. Dr, Keane was. called and discovered the little girl had broken two ribs. oNIMAINEEmblink,12,12 PYNY- E TO A , Positively Cures COUGHS and COLDS in a surprisingly short time.
