James Calder, was held to day, and resulted in the return of Hon. John Dryden, by a majority of 110, with two places to hear from. este tiACCi\AT1ON COMMENDED. Dr. Bryce, secretary of the Provin- cial Board of Health, is greatly wor- ried by the sporadic outbreaks of smell - pox. He cannot locate the head center of the infection, but the Cobourg case, which he has just been investigating, came from Rochester, by way of a travelling opera company, He com- mends the unselfish action of the Co bourg authorities in not shipping the girl to her home in Deseronto, but in insolatin; her at Cobourg, Dr. Bryce says that with smallpox widely seat. tered to the United States it is almost `impossible to keep it out of Ontario. The main thin;; is to vaccinate. The commission appointed to investi gate the charges of offensive partizan- ship against Daniel Coughlin, an in specter of weight and measures, was continued at Lucan before R. H. Col. lins, of Exeter. A number of wit- nesses were examined. The investiga- tion wfll be continued, when the evi- dence will be forwarded to Ottawa for investigation. If the investigation means anything it means that Cough- lin will lose his office, and that some good Liberal will get it, as was the ease with C. Walker, of Ailsa Craig, who was removed from the postmaster - ship for alleged partizanship there, to afford a berth to one John Morgan, a political worker in the riding. A press which is free and ho:sest is a blessing to any country, but the de- gradation of French politics is an ex- ample to what can be accomplished by a press which is partially free and wholly corrupt. Paris is the home of the most utterly setof newspapers van l in athe world. The corruption of the Parisian press would be a vocal affliction but for the unfortunate circumstance that Paris is In France; the poli.icians and papers of Paris create what is called public opinion, and thus control the destinies of France. When papers and poli ticians are alike corrupt, how can the poor, blinded nation tell its enemies from its friends? Objections from bankers who oppos- ed the establishment of a mint were misconstrued. They objected, not that the proposal was evil, but that it was opportune, and now that Canada has become a,grejat producer of gold even the bankers are willing that the eounti;j should have a mint. It would be a good stroke of politics for the Dominion G.overnmcnt to;.pro- ceed on the lines of President Wilkie's quggestion and arrange for the estab- lishment of et.least two branches. of the royal mint in Canada. One branch could receive the product of the Yukon and British Columbia, while it will not be' many years .when the bullion produced in , the Ontario gold fields will suffice to; keep an eastern mint going. Canadian gold should be coined into Canadian Beavers, and not'into Am- riean Eagles. *eructed in Canada in the past few years, the Dominion Government gave subsidies aniountiug to about $2.000- 000; Ontario Government, ;3,000,000 and the muoicipat.ititrs,e6.00C,000. Al of :the 20 roads have either been leas ed or disposed of to the M.C•R., C.i'.R. or G. T.R. e*v That lion J. M. Gibson was elected in East WeIlit:te n by a majority of 435 was not t lace of a surprise. The constituency is a Liberal strougbold, For instance, iu, , arch last the Liberals won; with three • aidldates in the field, hence ie will lie +.eeu that it was a hopeless :ebact:d for the Conservatives to win. The result of • the election in Margie is as fallows;—C :tg ,,liberal. 1,472; Park ( Indepeudeet) 1,200; Coughlin (Conservative) 1,240. The independzut candidate withdrew from this contest, thus the victory for Gib- son is nothing for tile Hardy regime to be jubilant over, 1 s lA il>Lt\ei AI PII.ES. A represennttive of one of the large est apple packing firms that operates tarsen; in tae east, and is now buying apples tbreughont Western Ontario, declares that than people of Western tarL Ou - do not understand deft apple ltisi- tress as it is understood down east, sat- ltbly in the county of Northutubdrland about Ilri.thton. In this placee, which has only a population of 2,500. he say, rises are Ito less than six huge fruit storing warehouses. The picking and packing of apples there is regarded as r} buiness which has to bo studied. It is studied carefully by all those who go into it. It is a common thing, ha says, for the sons off business and professional then to go to these ware houses to learn the trade of handling apples, just as they would any Indus try on profession. The result is that apples sent from this district bring from one to three shillings a Verret more in Englaud than the wine tared of fruit sent from Western Ontario- If alias he correct it is tarn^ that Or apple packers of the Perth diatriset mete up. ,lir. los:; is the brace.. buyer In thes:'etiou dais season. file : iron Brighton. and will doubtless give our buyers a pollster they will not forget. WHAT IS Ttti:,alalic 511:11CltA\T: Writing on this subject, an exchange uswers the queetiou thus;"I'le is the titan who helps pay for the streets on which you walk, and the school in which your children are educated; he helps keel) up the church in whieh you worship; he is the maw who builds a home and euchanees the value of your owvn property; every subscription that is passed has his name upon it; he is the only man who cannot afford to swindle you; self interest, if nothing else, would prevent this; he bears his share of the burden of good govero- moat end stays with you through ad- versity as well as prosperty, And he invites you through the columns of the home paper to help sustain him in his endeavors to sustain the town in which' you do your trading. He bears the brunt of local effects. He pays money for public Improvements. Iie stands for the interests of the town. What would we do without him ? He makes advance on a stock of goods and as- sumes the risk of disposing of it to his neighbors. And yet some of his neigh - bars are uufair enough when they have the cash to turn their patronage away from the home merchant on the theory that they save money patroniz- ing a supply house. There was never a more false idea advanced. The man who buys from the supply house takes from his community the money that should be left there. It is short sight- ed policy, most decidedly. Our re- lation to our neighbor is very close, and what benefits us oven if we are not aware of the fact at the time, that. our neighbor is being benefited. 1008 lliJJll. IIPE8. HAVE YOU ANY IDEA OF WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR YOU? And, as to What You Might do in Return, Have You Ever Given That a Passing Thought? -An Editor's Interesting Review of the Subject. The paper has done 50 things for you and is only anxious to do 50 more. It told your friends when your par eats were married. It announced to the world when you were born. It recorded the great events of your childhood, when you were lost as a wandering baby. when you had the measles and scarlet fever, when you fell into the washtub and was nearly drowned, when you fell from the cherry tree and broke your collar bone, when you first started to school and when you earned your first prize. Later on it told how you ' had com- pleted the studies of the district school, and how eloquently you recited your graduating oration. It told of your entering high school or aeademy. It told of your contests in baseball and football. It told of your departure for college, or your first venture in business, It told of your various visits back to the old home neighborhood, and it al ways wished you well in your greatest undertakings. Ic hinted. modestly about the first time you went a courting and gave timely warning to ".her folks " that the neighbors' knew that matters were growing interesting over their way. It announced the time of your ex- pected wedding, and it published the notice of the marrwag a Itceuso and gave y-ou a nice puff concerning the wed- ding ceremony. It told of your extended honeymoon tour. and of your settling down to 1 housekeeping. When you were sick the home paper ct'eek by week Wormed your more dis• tent neighbors of your lapses and im- • erovements .ft told about your lost cow and led to her recovery. It told haw your horse had been stolen, and led to the arrest of the thief. When you were getting dull and tired. through, the monotone- of you. g' } your labor, the paper urged that the people get up a celebration, and.you were named as one of a suitable committee on arrangements, And when it was all over, it gave you just praise for the §access of the undertaking. To numerous ways the paper has helped to put your name before the people. And you would never have had your lucrative office or your hon- orable re,ognitron from the commun- ity but for the kind aid of the local printer. If you are a member of a Sunday sehool or society of any sort, that same paper publishes your announce- nrants and the various proceedings of your meetings. your tells the people much which you would like to have lenowu, but which modesty or necessity preveuts you from telling. If yell .orad all your folks have been prosperous and fortunate in your af- fairs. the paper has boasted you all the ►Day. If you bave had misfortune, the paper asked sympaihy in your behalf thus the paper has rejoiced when you rejoiced and wept when eon wept - If you ept.If.you are a good and enterprising eiti zen, the paper will always ba your. Mord and will back you. in your rot terpriees tired wilt help to find your business friends. It told that yott had the best coon. dog in your sectiou and that you bad taken more pelts than any other 2.1 low for miles around. if your wheat cro trent forty or fifty bushels to the acre It was sated that eon were the best fanner in the. district. If yon cradled more ;rain than was peseible for any other man to do, you were made out a hero It tells you where to buy and where to sell. It tells of rogues to be avoid ed. It tells you of current prices and pre- vents you from being cheated and swindled la 100 ways. Finally, when you die, the paper will publish your obituary and will cover over your faults and will recite the story of your good deeds. All these things the local editor will cense bis paper to do, but uo one else in cite world will do them or can do them for you even for love or money The outside paper is a stranger to your little world and is not at all interested in its improvement. Yet your lout. paper does all this free of cost to you if you are willing to receive it that way. However, for your sake, we hope you are willing to reciprocate the same. Help the editor. Be bis friend, and he will prove his friendship to you. Subscribe for bis paper and pay for it regularly in advance and get your neighbors to do the same, Send him the news or occasionally a watermelon or a peck of peaches. Invite him to your picnies and fate ily dinners, so that be can eat a square meal occasionally. Don't cull the ticket „you give him to the church concert a deadhead, He can't buy tickets from everybody to everything, but he will say kind words of your performances and thu: lead others to buy your tickets. If yon have anything to buy or sell let the paper assist you to find cus tomers. Advertising that really pay' the printer benefits both advertisers and readers. If yon have any job printing to do don't take it to any outside office, but give your newspaper the first chance. Give the editor a pointer occasion ally or write him sousible short arti- cles and don't get mad if he fails to see every thing .your way. When he does say a good thing, tell him so. In short, remember the golden rule and don't forget the editor of your local paper. ELECTION CASES. lfl. ISILIIiElt IIKKOLDS JiIS $ISAT.
