John Costigan at Listoweh- We appear to -night on the same politi- cal platform that the Conservative Government submitted to the people in 1878, We adhered,to the policy and the principles that were presented to you at that time, and we will *expect the same verdict for the very same reasons that were then given. An ad- ditional reason for expecting a favor - title verdict is because in every general ection that has since taken u' place yo have hadhthesame policy before you, and it has been received with approval. We hoped at the time of the inception of that policy that by giving encourage- ment to manufacturing industries, and affording protection to the agricultural • interests of the country, that we could • build up industries, promote the em- ployment of labor and create wealth more than by having our markets open to the competition from without, and have goods come in without Canada receiving any return. Before the adoption of our policy the markets of this country were left open to our neighbors to the south of us, while they had raised s, great barrier against • the admission of our products. We claim that our pelioy haa worked fairly well, and we will not be deterred from •cantinuing it by the cries of our oppon- ents, who claim, and sometimes truly, tlaatin some particular sections of the eouriby the labering °lessee are not fully employed. . Our answer to such a contention is that it is not sufficient ground for the condemnation of our policy. It does not prove that our protective policy is unsound. You may trove that the measure of sucaese we hope to obtain has not been reached and everything is not accomplished in some sections of the country who have not all the employment they want, do you mean to tell the intelligent people ot this country that if you wiped out our protective system and cicsed up thefactories, which I am glad to knew are flourishing in this and other towns in Canade, that would prove a remedy ? No. NOTES AND 001,1MENTS It may not be generally known that pound -keepers are required to file with lihe clerk of the municipality, on or before January 15th, a statement for the past year showing the number of animals impounded, number of animals sold and amount received, the sum reaeived as poundage fees and dost of keep by pound-keepee, the amount of damage paid by the party, all disburse- ments and to whom paid, and any other receipts and expenditures in connection therewith.

In these days of gloved hands and pockets covered with wrap', the practice is surprisingly common. It seems so filthy and slovenly a practice that no cleanly person would adopt ite and yet it is often practised by the besb and apparently most intelligent class of men and women. Apart from its vileness, the habit is a ntenace to health. Money gets into all kinds of infectious places and carries all kinds of germs. A. bank teller of Vienna recently died from the effects of moistening his fingerswith saliva when counting money. At the last revision of the vaulte it fell to his lot to count e" large numbet of small bills, and although repeatedly warned, he continued mechanically to teuch his lips when his fingere became too dry. That evening he felt a smarting pain in his lip, but did riot attend to it until a swelling set in next day. He then oonsulted a surgeon, wRo insisted upon an immediate opertitien on the tumor, that in the meantime assumed alarming proportions, as indispensable.

The proposal is to run a line of steamers regulerly between Belgium, France and Canada intim winter and sem- ro.er if reesouable encouragement an be obteined from. the Dominion Government and the merchants and shippers. There is at present iutermitteut eommunication be- tween Antwerp teed Montreal iu the sum- mer mouths, but the intention, if satisfhe- tory arrangements'can be made, is to lawild new and snitable eteemers and to 'open it regular advertised eervied to Montreal during the season of navigation, and to Halifax during parts of the year, commen- cing In April orMay next. Not only will the service be of value so far as trade with France is concerned, but ib should lead. also to the expansion of Canadian exports to and imports from both Belg,itim Germany via Antwerp. .There is also the chance that additional eommunication will be provided, as 11 is well known that the Hansa line have it in contemplation to arrange for the calling of their steamers at a French port. Much more might be done in the • way of increasing the commercial relations of the Dominion with France, if the steamers of the Compagnie Trans -At - Ian tique to Havre were utilized. The .sur- taxe cl'entrepot, which is added on im- portations into -France via, a European country other than the country of origin does not apply to imports from Canada by way of United •States. The same remarks apply to the trade with Germany by way of the Hamburg and Bremen lines. These questions are receiving the attention' of those interested in the development of trade between Canada and: the Continent and in the ex-ploitationaof new Markets for its products.

The re- putation of Canadiatti cattle somewhat suffered in the latter part of thetlast sea- son, owing to the fact that many of the animals that arrived. were" of inferior quality, fit enly for fattening and not for immediate 'elaughter. This is a,matter for regret because it costs no more to bring a fat animal than a stocker, and the differ- ence in price is vertrappteciable both to the shipper and. the farmer. The Photographic Exhibition. It is to be hoped that Canadian pltotos graphers will make a brave shim at the forthcoming phothgraphic -exhibition at the Imperial Institute. The galleries are well adapted for the purpose, and selec- tions of photographs of the scenery itt the different provinces, illustrating also the industries of the country, agricultural, dairying, mining, lumbering, .fishing and manufacturing would be.a valuable object lesson and give the British public a better and more vivid idea than they have ever had of the resources and capabilities of Canada. Such an exhibition would also assist in a very marked way the efforts that are being made to encourage the in- vestment of capital in the country, and be- sides would form a splendid advertisement of the queen's highway to the east, about which so muchbas been written. Australian Cheese In England. The Australasian colonies are making wonderful strides in the development of the export of dairy produce. For some time they have regarded Canada's pre- eminent position in the cheese trade with a certein amount of envy, and it is an open secret that they mean to endeavor to get a share of the trade which they are also trying to do in the case of live cattle. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although it may hot always be palatable, and -this will probably be the feeling of Canada in reference to the announcement that about a ton of cheese has been made at the Hawkesbury Agricultural College in New South Wales on the Canadian Cheddar system with the object of sending it to England: to test the market. Speci- mens of the eheese are to be sent to the Government analyst of the Agricultural department before shipment in order that had a sail on a lake near by and saw they be compered with cheese of Canadian alligators in the distance.

BERLIN, Ont., Feb. 6. -The only develop- ments in the supposed Linwood child murder case are that the constable was out in pursuit of the couple yesterday morn- ing. They are described as being about 85 years old each. Several of the villagers, whose suspicions had been aroused, visited the place where the fire had been made, and at once began kicking the ashes around more or less, and when Dr. Mc- Earchern visited the place he had some difficulty in gathering uteany of the siip- posed remains. In an interview with him he says the cluster he secured is composed of ashes, snow alid other substance; but he would not swear that it was that of human bones. There can be no further developments until the arrest has been effect. There is a conflict of opinion. Some say, "They had a child with them," or "I think they had," while others say' they saw them in the neighborbood for a few days and took no notice of the presence of a child.

When I was aeleoted by Lieutenant Peary to aocompany him on hie trip to the arctic regions to try and find the North Pole, it was partly because of my strong, healthy constitution, and his belief that I could endure the fstigue and danger incident to the trip. I had been emaciated with him as his business manager on his leant e tour, and was on terms of the greatest intimacy with him. "When the ship aloolcon' left New York on her trip northward it hada-among the stores, several cages of Paine' s Celery Compound. The reputation of that medicine was so well established that it was the most natural thing in the world that the members of the party, and they comprised teen from nearly every walk in life, from the common sailors to men of soienoe, should desire to.use it. The recard of our perilous trip to Camp Anniversary is too well known to need repetition. Once in camp we naturally took an inventory of our possessions, and I was exceedingly glad to fird the Celery Compound. The medicine chest was open Lo all, awl we were free to take born it what we thought was advisable. I, in company with toyer'sl others selected Some of the Compound, taking a bottle of it to the cabineknowing it would be handy when wanted. Nor was 1 mistaken, for the excessive coed weather soon had iie effects, and I. Wolin to be' troubled in a number of wen.
