TIME HAS WAITED.
On July 80th, 1903, Sir •Wilfrid Lau-
ier, in his speech ou the original Grand
Trunk Peeifie contract declared west
vehemently that the work proposed
by the government was a work of to-
day and not ot to -morrow. He endeav-
()red to show that the country west of
Lake Superior could not endure a de-
lay of twenty•foer hours in the con.
struction of the proposed new railway.
But that theory has been exploded by
the action of the Premier himself in
extending the term of eonstruction
long, beyond the period of construction
••%:+illicila he pronounced to be in the in-
terests of the country. -July 30th, 1903,
has almost seen another year, but ac-
cording to the testimony of the xnen
who led the Liberal party, nothing
'has been done to further the building
of the line which the first minister of
Vanada said was indispensible to the
growth of thi$ country. On Alarch 17.
1904, Mr, Einwerson, Minister of Rail-
ways, infOrmed.Mr. Barker, the mein -
.hey for Hamilton, that there were no
"interim and other reports, plans, ac -
con ntsonaps, statements, papers, cl ocu-
mente and correspondence in posses-
sion Of the government, relating to the
-western and eastern divisions of the
proposed transcontinental railway."
'On March 28th, Mr. Puttee, of Winni-
peg, received an answer to the same
effect. Farther than that, the Minis-
ter of Railways informed the .House of
Commons during the present session,
that so far as the present government
was concerned, it did not L now a single
individual who had been engaged in
surveying the much needed railway.
Here is another instance in which the
administration has failed to keep faith
with the electors. Sir Wilfrid either
believed his words of July 30th, 1903,
or he was deceiving those who placed
him in power. Accepting the former
view of the case, he has abandoned a
policy which he considers to be neces-
sary for the proper developement of
his native land. Taking the latter view,
the Premier has simply added another
•to a long list of insincerities. Neither
is creditable to the leader of Canadian
affairs. It is a proper policy which
calls for the support of either argu-
ment:
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain has return-,
ed from his holiday trip to Egypt and
has recommenced his work in the in-
terest of the Empire. During his ab-
sence the free traders have made des-
perate attempts to regain what they
had lost in the previous campaign and
no doubt they have made some head-
way. The presence of the real spirit
of Imperial preference on the scene is
expected to give the imperialistic
a strong impulse and ere long we may
hear of enthusiastic meetings in its fa-
vor.

beautiful exemplary Christian life was
brought to a close on. Friday. in the
person of Mes.Ann Horsley, relict of
the late Wm. Taylor. When she was
compelled to take to her bed, ten days

troyer. Last September she in com-
pany with her son, Israel, made a visit
to her sons in Manitoba, ancl returned
in November, feeling much improved
in health, by the trip. She experienced
a fall shortly after returning, which
confined her to the house for the great-
er part of the winter, but with this
misfortune Adchd to tier declining
vears,ib was hoped on the approach of
spring, she would become stronger,
but instead of this, she was called to
her reward. Mrs. Taylor, with her bus -
band and family came to (Hinton if'

HENRY B. QUARRY.—After an ill-
ness extending over a period of nearly
a year, one of Parkhill's best known
and most esteemed residents passed
away very suddenly on Saturday in
the person of Henry B. Quarry. Mr.
Quarry had been a sufferer from heart
trouble for many tnonths and during
the past winter he has been confined
to the house entirely, but the end was
not expected when it came. On the
morning of his death his daughter,
Madeline, took his breakfast up to the
bed to him and he ate quite heartily.
She advised him not to get up for an
hour or two as the day was very cold.
An hour and a half later she went to
his room to give him his medicine but
was horrified to find him cold in death,
be having evidently passed away some
time before. Deceased was born in
township of Pickering, County of
York. 68 years ago, and moved with
his family to McGillivray township
over 50 years ago, Healing at Lieury.
Tired of farm life he made his first
business venture in the hotel line,
keeping a public house at what is now
West McGillivray. Here he was mar-
ried to Miss Johanna Collins, who sur-
vives him. Subsequently they moved
to Lucan where he engaged in the gen-
eral store business and was later in
the same line in Blyth, A few years
later he determined to try farm life
again moving to his farm on the 4th
con,, 'McGillivray, where he ',resided
until his removal to Parkhill over 16
years ago. After moving here he
was appointed Fishery Inspector by
the Dominion Government, a position
which be held for many years, and for
some:years has filled the position of
tax collector in town. TO polities Mr.
Quarry was a staunch ConserVative
and in religion a true and consistent
member of the Catholic church. • He
wits a mite who was known to pretty
nearly everybody in this neighborhood
•and during his long residence here it is
doubtful if he ever made an enemy.

W. C. T. U. Notes.
The value weplace upon factories
and manufacturing establishments de-
pends upon the finished product which
they turn out or furnish to the world.
Here is one unfortunate sample of
what the open bar is giving to the
world. -"A sad tragedy took place on
the outskirts of Toronto on the even-
ing of Thursday of last week. A young
man named Frank Munro, living in a
shack close to Munro Park, was burn-
ed to death. When the firemen ar-
rived at the burning building, the roof
had fallen in and they had difficulty in
dragging the dead body from the ruins.
Frank Munro was a prominent figure
in the neighborhood. He was about
25 years of age, and well proportioned,
and is said to have been a boy of unus-
ual promise. He lost his position in a
local bank through drink, and his fam-
ily connection as well. A year ago last
September be 'himself built the small
cabin, ten by twelve, in the midst of
the timber land opposite the park. He
kept a gun and revolver on the prem-
ises and when under the influence of
liquor was very strict in his guardian-
ship against trespassers. When sober
and with those who knew him he was
"a good fellow" and during the sum-
mer often entertained friends. For
the last year, however, he has been on
an almost continuous spree. On the
eveninet'in question about 7.30 he was
at the store of Mrs. Wilson, on Queen
street between Maple and Beach Ave-
nues, where he bought two bags of
charcoal. He was then very much un-
der the influence of liquor, and could
not make his own change. A short
time afterwards he was burned to
deatb.
BABY BURNED TO DEATH
St.Catharines, April 24.—A sad acci-
dent occured about 8 o'clock on Satur-
day evening, whereby Frederick Caw-
thorpe, aged %years, only child of Rev,
Dr. Geo. H. Smith, pastor of Knox
Church, was so severely burned that
he died about 1 o'clock on Sunday
morning. He had been put in bed about
his usual hour, and was apparently
asleep when his mother left the room.
She had only been absent a few min-
utes, when the little fellow was heard
to scream. His mother immediately
rushed back, to find him enveloped in
flames. He had evidently got out of
bed, and climbing on a chair, found
some matches which were in a match -
safe hanging on the chandelier, and,
in playing with these, had set fire to
his night-dress. His body and face
were badly burned.
News of the Week in Brief.
Saturday night a terrible accident
occurred in Collingwood, by which
three men are dangerously injured,
two of them so badly that they may
not recover. They procured a distress
rocket, placed it on a post and at-
tempted to set it off. After lighting
it they were tinder the impression that
It had not caught, and went back to
try it again. While they were stand-
ing around it very close it exploded
with terrific force. Thomas Mclotiigh-
Ian was badly cut on the lower part
of his body, and very little hope of his
recovery is held out, If the man is not
too weak be will be operated on, but
it is hardly possible that his life will
be saved. Thomas Stanford was struck
on the jugular vele and also on the
temple. He is very badly hurt, and
has lost a Tot of blood, and part of the
bone of the skull has had to be remov-
ed. lie May recover but his Chances
are Very slight. Another man named
