Canada has yet in British trade, we may mention that last year while little Denmark sent $29,000,000 wortli of butter to England, Canada sent only $779,000. II - Mr. Pattullo the Liberal Candidate to represent North Oxford M the stead of Sir ()liver Mowat had the support of two staunch Conservative papers that cirulate largely in the north- western part of the county—the St. Marys journal and, Stratford Herald. es X X The present Ontario ballot is a farce of the worst kind, and about as secret as a big advertisement in the Globe or Mail. The ballot is niunbered and When it is attached to the numbered. stub from which it was taken it tells fast how the liquor sellers, office hold- ers or employees of any person has voted. + + x Nr. Sifton—"Gentlemen, Rome has been the curse of the people through all ages. She has denied education; she has shackled intellect. Upon us she has forced her Separate schools. tet us stand together and oppose ber special privileges. Let us say that we never, never will be slaves, and —" Mr. Laurier—"How much are you paid for saying that?" Mr Sifton—"three thousand." Mr. Laurier.—"Would $7.000 concil- iate you?" r. Sifton—"Well, o n second tioughit, I do think that Rome is en - tied to some slight consideration." Our rulers are doubtless thankful to haVe one truly good man in the Cab- inet whose word may in some way off set and palliate the acts of the wicked partners, and in this character poor Sir Oliver is expected to s hine on 00- rsion. The other day when the dis- nissal of Dominion civil servants for "offensive partisanship" was under re- view, and Sir Oliver was askedregard- ing Provincial servants taking part as canvassers, and of some even resign- ing to contest constituencies, and. be- ing reinstated after defeat, while no man was punished by dismissal, he re- plied that the civil servants of Ontario took such part in elections "for the good of the country." On such flimsy ! casuistry Sir Oliver can excuse any course of wrong -doing, and it was the only excuse he could formulate for the 'eovernor-General of Canada taking it upo ilinaself to play theautocrat by is- suing warrants for the expenditure of one million dollars without authority of Parliament, and not for either one of the only two objects for which pub- licinoney can be properly expended in sinisway. Sir Oliver said the money Was "required for the public good," and that sufficed for him as one of the highest constitutional authorities. X X X In an editoral under the heading "The Control of Mul titudes," the Mont- real Witness censures the Toronto Ex- hibition management for exposing Earl Li and suite to the active cur- osity-- of -- a. jostling multitude. The struth is that Li Hung Chang was not seriously inconvenienced. The Ex- tbition management may be censur- ble, but its mistake was in having Li ung Chang there at all. The dis- , nguished visitor may have been the -"guest of the nation," but it would not have paid to have cleared the Fair grounds of all but Earl Li and suite and a privileged few. It is hard to see how Li Hung Chang could have „visited the Fair under conditions mat - sally different from those which sur- unded his rather pleasant progress ough the grounds. He could not ave the Fair all to himself, and the ople who paid their money to see e Exhibition were inconvenienced by is presence more than he was in- nvenienced by their presence. After „agod deal too much fuss has been ode about the importance of Li Hung hang either to the Fair or to the country. The chances are that no- cly went to the Pair to see Li Hung ang who would not have gone for iler reasons some other day. The flinty is that the country will not ten dollars better off because Li g Chang earne to Canada, nor 'M the country be ten dollors worse ';he had stayed away. By the death of Judge Lacourse, \ Tha Eleotlon of County Coma' Waterloo, the country saves $2,200 a year. Under the law drawn up by Sir Oliver Mowat, the county will in future have but one judge. Hitherto there have been two. The junior judge will now do all the work with - mit increase in salary. + - In the vote given in this Parliament the Government had a:majority of 84. The Quebec vote, as L'Electeur points out, was 49Liberalsto•16 Conservatives —a majority of 83, NA John Ross Robertson voted. with the Liberals. This just saved the .Government from being entirely dependent upon Que- bec for its majority. x ÷ There are no country people any more. The time has gone by in On- tario at least, when the residence or occupation of people is indicated by their appearance. The spread of ed- ucation, the gravth of the stores' per- haps, or the all prevailing influence of the fashion magazine have so rev- olutionized the attire of young men and women that in dress and appear- ance city and country folk conform. to a uniform standard. - By the words of Mr. Laurier the Government is now pledged. to intro- duce an alien labour law. There is not the slightest chance thattheUnited States will either repeal the law, or be slower to enforce the statutes under which Canadians have been oppressed. The Canadian Government's only course is to introduce a measure which will take from Americans in Canada the privileges of which their law de- prives Canadians in the United States. The Laurier Government's order closing- the House of Commons' bar was about as clever a dodge as that which arranged Mr. Tarte and. Mr. McCarthy OD the stuns: side of the Manitoba, school question. The bar is "closed," and the good pearl° are praising Mr. Laurier's sministers and the righteous Speaker, and the had people are getting all the whiskey they want to drink from the bar. Everybody is happy. + x • The project of a fast steamship liue to and from England, which the late Government set on foot, seems' to have been disconcerted for the pre- sent, and the Laurier Goyernment, if they have not given if, up alto- gether, are "making- time" with a view to new proposals. A contract was made with the Allanfor a twenty -knot servicti, which would have been ratified had the Conserva- tives remained in power. Vie new men seem to doubt the necessity of a fast line for freight and passengers, and are nibbling at the proposal that comes from Manchester for a twelve knot line with terminal at that city, via the Ship Canal. Mr. 'Thomas Clement, member of a Manchester shipping firm, is in Canada at present,' and says for a much less sabsidy than that offered by Canada, the Ship Canal Board and. citizens of Manches- ter would be glad. to provide a freight steamship line on the above basis. -s x '÷ Le CultivateursIsrael Tarte's Paper assnounces that Mr. Laurier is a man of peace and concord, and while he has not definitely declared that he will send the school question to Rome for adjudication, be might do worse. One of the writers in Le Oultivateur adds that the Premier would do what is 'quite correct were he to carry out the intention attributed to him. "The Pope being the judge in matters of faith and discipline. it is evident that if he decides to accept the proposal of Mr. Laurier, no one can criticise the settlement, much less oppose it. When be bas spoken, we must say with Bos - suet, "Rome has spoken; the case is decided." It woulcl be an exhibition. of temerity on the part, of Catholics to rebel, even by anticipation, against a decision by • Rome." Both sides, " con- tinues the writer, will be heard before a decision is given. To assume that the Holy See would give judgment up- on the representations of one party alone is to cast gratuitous reflections upon that angust pontiff Leo XIII., and to formulate an opinion that, on the face of it, is absurd. If the Con- servatives had followed Mr. Laurier's line off conduct it would have been mush. better. At all events the question would not have become inextricable, and Mgr. Tache would not have died of chagrin. The Mitchell pork factory has closed down for a time as there is nothing.in the pork business at present prices. A Wingham girl recently sent 25 cts. to find out how to whiten her hands. The whole family, except her- self, were tickled to death when she received the reply : "Soak them in dish water." The Tilsonburg Observer gives. an account of an infant son of Mr. John Ball, of Houghton township, who was born about 14 months ago with three eyes the extra one being situated in the spine at the waist line. It is provided with an eyelid and eye brow exactly like the other two in its head. The eyeswas bandaged to pre- vent injury, as it was sensitive aa ordinary eyes. Recently the child fen and hurt the eye, which then put it out.' \ clilors. The election of County Councillors under the act of 1896 is a question that requires a good deal of consideration by the`officers authorized to carry out its provisions. A. careful reading of the Act and the practical application of many of its enactments shows that more is required than is specifically referred to. NOMINATING OFFICERS AND NOMLNAT- IONS, The first dutyof the County author- ities is the appointment of a nominat- ing officer for each of the distriets into which the Counties have been divided. This appointment: is required to be made by the Warden on or before the 15th day of November, and in the event of the Warden failing to Make such appointment within 24 hours after the time specified the County Clerk is required to do so. Municipal Clerks by reason of their previous ex- perience at nomination meetings and elections shouldreceive the preference. County Council nominations are to be held. on Monday, 21st December, be- tween the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The nominating officer is required to fix the place within the division for bolding the nomination. This need. not be in the most centre) part of the district but should be in the most convenient and accessable to the great body of electors of the district. Notice of the nomination meeting and of the election are required to be given by two insertions; of an advertisement in each of two weekly newspapers published in the county prior to the nomination day, or by giving suffi- cient public notice thereof by printed posters. The proceedings at the nomination meeting are the same as the clerk of the local municipality is required to perform as returning officer at the 'nomination for an election in a local municipality. If not more than two candidates are noininated they are to be declared elected hy acclamation and. the return accordingly made to the Comity Clerk. If more candidates are noininated than are reguired to be elected, the nominating officer shall, immediatelyafter the lapse of the time in which candidate may with- draw, being either at the nomination meeting or tne following day, certify the fact and the names and addresses of those remaining in nomination to the county Clerk. The nominating officer's duties are ended,when this re- turn is properly made, except that when at an election two candidates receive the same number of votes, and it is necessary to determine which one of the two should. be elected. The nominating officer for the division is reqnired upon request of the Comity Clerk, to declare in writing for which of such candidates be votes and in such case tne candidate or candi- dates for which be votes shall be elected. This places the nominating officer in the same position • as re- turning officer for municipal elect- ions, and nominating officers, in our opin, should not vote for members of the County Council to be elected for his district. The expenses incurred by the nominating officers in and about the election are required. to be paid by the county. These may include the expenses of advertising, of posting notices of nomination, rent of hall for the meeting and for the service of nominating officer. ELECTION. When an election is required to be held in a district the County Clerk is required to prepare the ballots, and before doing so he should receive from the Municipal Clerk of each municipal- ity in the county, a list showing the number of polling sub -divisions and the number of votes in each. The form of ballots, notices and other papers are to be the same as nearly as possible as those provided for by the Consolidate Municipal Act of 1892, and where not wholly applicable, are to be adapted by the clerk for the election of county councillors. Where all the members of the local council are elected. by acclamation, the. council of such municipality, and the clerk shall take all proceedingswhich would have been necessary and as by law is provided, that is to say, pro- vide polling places, furnish the neces- sary and proper Vote 's Lists, Poll Books, and appoint deputy returning officers and other necessary officers, and such officers so appointed shall have all the powers, rights and authori- ties respecting the election of county conncillors, as they now have respect- ing the election of members of local municipalities. The exptnses of the election and of the officers so appoint- ed are to be borne by the county. In case of any dispute between the local municipality and the county for the payment of any such expense. the difference between theni is requir- ed to be settled by the County Judge, upon the application of either party. The county clerk is required at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the second Monday in the month of January after receiving the returns of the local. municipalities, to publicly declare el- ected the two candidates having the highest number of votes in each coun- ty council district, and also to post up in his office a statement under his hand, showing the -number of votes polled for each candidate. Downie Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany's losses through the electric storms of the present summer total about$4,100, which will necessitate an assessment of $3.90 an the $1000. A CONSTABLE TALKS. IentE ORDINARY MORTALS, EnTBJECT TO KIDNEY' DISEASE BUT EASILY CURED BY DODD's KIDNEY . PILLS. STARNER (Special) Sept. 14—Mr. James K. Nesbitt, a county constable of this place having suffered for a, long time with kidney disease, he became aware that the doctor called it Dia- betes, and incurable. AS be had the good fortune to know that many cases of this disease had been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills this news did not startle him. He says he went straight to Sanders' Drug Store, and commenc- ed to get well on the first box purchas ed. Now he is going his usual rounds praising Dodd's Kidney Pills to every one Who asks the particulars of his recovery. 1.1 0 usE UL coyi 1\1 0 N s , tioeve„...iigrignitsasficarneet,ri,T, Charles - si Tupper, Mr, Lister brought it on, and i the passage -et -arms between that 1 fighter and the leader of the Opposi- tion was a taste to the new xnembees of this Parliament of the temper in Ings the Past Week. which the late Parliament somewlatt frequently found itself.

Mr. Laurier said the portfolio of the Minister of the Interior would shortly be filled by a gentleman from the Nprthwest Mr. Laurier informed Sir Charles Tupper that La Petrie was not the orgitn of the Government, al- though professing to accord support to it.

Sir Charles Tupper was told by Mr. Borden that the letter from Gen. Gascoigne. to 4 -en. Cameron was a private one and could not be brought down; Mr. Tarte, in reply to Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg), said the construction of locks at St. Andrew's rapids on Red River was too great a job to do this session, but it would be looked into before next sea- sion; Sir Richard Cartwright told Mr. Glilles that it was not the intention of the Government to bring down any insolvency legislation this session; Mr. Dobell said the question of consider- ing the compulsion of selections of lands by railway companies in the Northwest, which had completed their earning of the same, was novr oc- cupying the attention of the Govern- rnent; in answer to Mr. Oliver, Mr. Dobell said the selection of lands by the C.P.R. was rapidly being proceed- ed with; also, that the exemption of unsold lands of the C.P.R. was rapid- ly being proceeded with; also, that the exemption of unsold lands of the C.P.R. would expire from 20 years from the date of the grant; Mr. Bor- den, in reply to Mr. Clarice, said the Government, had a memorial asking for grants to the monument fund of the erection of the Northwest Volun- teers' monument in Queen's Park, To- ronto, under consideration; $1000 had already been paid on this account; Mr. Laurier, in answer to Mr. Choquette, said the Goernment wOuld consider aiding any responsible person who would erect a bridge over the St. Law- rence at Quebec; Mr. Laurier also said the rule regarding advertisements would stand as they were this ses- sion; Sir Richard Cartwright said the Enovernment had not issued a circular letter to ntanufacturers regarding the tariff.

There were two rather lively debates, one of winch arose from a criticism bY Mr. Beattie on the method of obtaining sUPPliee for the millitary camp at London, and the other on the vote for the House of Commons supplies, 'which gave rise to a discussion on the dismissal of tem- porary clerks on account of alleged activity during the recent elections. Mr. Laurier said, in answer to Sir Charles Tupper, that when the two officers, Gens. Gascoigne and Cameron, agreed between themselves to allow the letter from the former to the nat- ter to be brought down, the Govern- ment had no obJection.

London, Sept. 1L—A petition ad- dressed to the Lord Mayor is being signed, asking him to summon a. meeting of citizens to assure the Gov- ernment, in, taking effective measures to stop the reign of terror in TarleeY, of the unanimous support of the cite, zens. Mr. Gladstone replied: " Remon- strance with him whom I always wish to call the Great Assassin wnuld not be of the smallest value Unless it were known to include a firm intentien to resort to measures of coercion in cant Of need. The remonstrances of the siX powers during the last twelve months have not been mere failures or a simple mockery, but a. great instru- ment of mischief, for they all along implied that such a molter can be dis- posed of by discussion, and thereby supplied wholesale and deliberate mur- de rwith the only assistance it want- ed, namely, assurance of impunity. I, therefore, venture to hope that you do not contemplate recommending a further prolongation of simply verbal discussion. Even silence would be pre- ferable." 8.1.100.lt:X.VG CR.i.3114 Double Murder and Arson lit New Bruns- ,e.e. Halifax, N.S., Sept. 1L --The town of Moncton, N.I3., is greatly excited over the finding of two bodies, that of a woman. named Dutcher, and her son, itnind in the ruins of a building de- stroyed by ilre at Meadowbrook, a set- tlement twelve miles from Moncton, Later the little daughter was found un- conscious from injuries received, and it is supposed the first two were mur- dered. It was the girl's rescue which re- vealed the terrible nature of the crime and shows that the fire was not acci- dental. The poor little girl's left ear was split open, and her left cheek cut and smashed through the bones, pre- senting a horrible sight. This, of course, proved beyond any doubt the terrible nature of the crime. Naineun England.
