NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Dominion Government has
given its answer to enemies who as-
serted that the Canadian Alien Labour
Law was designed for ornament and
not for use. its interference would
have given no particular advantage to
the Governxnent if it had been forced to
action by a large influx of alien labour.
The Government has wisely acted on its
own account. It .has shown an inclin-
ation to protect Canadians in the right
to work in their country, and
whatever else the Liberal Government
does ordoes not do, its prompt-applica-
tion
romptapplica-
tion of the alien labour law to the
North-west and to British Columbia
is deserving all praise.

Sir Richard Cartwright is blamed. by
the Huntingdon Gleaner because after
condemning an expentlitnre of $3SJ)U41-
000 for 1$90, he proposed an. expendi-
ture of $5.1,000,00[) for 1897. But we
are merely:at the beginning of the
business. All the large expenditures
which :well the figures are the results
of political obligations. There are
more to be niet. Mr. Fielding carried
Noya Scotia for the local Liberals by
offering to recoup out of the Federal
treasury proyincial railway subsidies
aggregating $1,350,00u. We hi On-
tario will have to carry our share of
this, and the Globe, which supports
Mr. Fielding, is helping to foice this
share upon us. The Dominion isbeing
plunged into 'matey liabilities, but On-
tario will be the greatest sufferer,
thanks to Mr. Fielding and the To-
ronto Globe.
An instance of how careful the On-
tario Reform party are of the people's
money is given by the Goderich Sig-
nal (Liberal) in connection with the
office of the Master -in -Chancery for
Huron. For years the salary has been
$1,250 per annum, while the revenue
has been about $250 a year. It has
therefore cost the people $1000 a year
to maintain the office.

The report that M. C. Cameron, 'M.
P. for West Huron, will appoint his
son-in-lew, one Galt, to thepostmaster-
ship of Goderich, in case it becomes
vacant, is not received by Reformers,
and the Signal is strenuously object-
ing to such a move. • Mr. Galt has no
claim for political favors, -and it looks
as though Mr. Cameron might be
-paying the way for himself. Keep
your weather eye open, Dan.
At prohibition conventions delegates
talk as if the politicians were to blame
for all the misfortunes of their cause.
The truth is that temperance people
are to blame, and in no snail measure
the blame rests on the advocates who
attendprohibitiou conventions. The
words of temperance men are to the
effect that prohibition is the supreme
issue, but the votes of temperance men
show that prohibition is subordinate
to several other issues. What temper-
ance men should do is to either talk
less or work more. They are strong
in many counties which are represent-
ed in the Legislature by men who are
no friends to temperance. If they
mean business why do they not elect
sincere and ardent temperance men
instead of choosing men who espouse
the cause of prohibition at the point
of the pistol, and then spend their
whole legislative lives in betraying
principles which they outwardly ac-
cepted in order to win a seat in the
Legislature.

Since the United States Congress
has placed a duty of $2 per M. on pine
lumber, it should also be the duty of
the Canadian Government to impose
an export duty on logs and pulp -wood.
Why should our logs be allowed to
leave the country without restriction,
and sawn into lumber in the United
States, giving employment. to Ameri-
can citizens, when they thus shut out
our lumber? Legislation cannot be
enacted too soon, imposing an export
duty on logs.

A WELL-KNOWN BIDDULPH FARMER
SHOT,
The absence of the chief officers of
the Royal Templar Order, notably \Ir.
W. W. Buchanan, from the Prohi-
bition Convention held at Toronto last
week is explained on behalf of in-
depeiidexit prohibitionists as being
due to a lack of confidence in the On-
tario Alliance. It is openly claimed
that the convention committees were
loaded up with such prominent Re-
formers as Hon. G. W. Ross, Mr,
Joseph Tait and Rev. Dr. Dewart, for
the purpose of whitewashing the
Hardy Government. The lack of con-
fidence in the affiance has been
demonstrated by the small number of
outsiders who registered, which only
totalled seventy-five. In view of this
the Royal Templar executive will push
forward the project for the organiz-
ation of a prohibition federation.
The St. Thomas Journal has entered
the ranks of grumblers. It says: "The
Government has dissappointed its
friends at not being able to implement
the pledge to reduce expenditure. Sir
Wilfred Laurier and Mr. Mills told
many an Ontario audience that they
could reduce the controllable expendi-
ture by two or three millions of dol.
lars. It might have been found diffi-
cult. to keep this promise, but every
effort should have been made to pre-
vent the increase which has actually
been incurred. The reduction of the
number r of Cabinet Ministers should
have been promptly made. and the
face of the Government shonld have
been set as a flint against the bonus -
mg of small railroads and the erection
of public buildings except in such
places as the revenue warranted a
capital outlay.' Then as to the exten-
sion of the Intercoloaiaal to Moutreal,
about which so much is said by the
Conservatives and so much is feared
by the Liberals. we think, in view of
the other heavy expenditures under-
taken at the late session, that this
scheme might well have been allowed
to stand." The Journal thinks the
Government's mistakes have resulted
from paying too much attention tothe
demands of "friends" in and out of
Parliament.
The Toronto World the other day
gave this practical object lesson on t
ie
great profit the farmers of Canada
are to derive from the free admission
of corn into this country.
"Last Tuesday a, carloadof hogsarriyed
at the Toronto cattle market from Essex
county. Up till Saturday they remain-
ed unsold from the fact that the
animals had been fed on corn. The
price of the pea -fed hogs during the
week was $5.05, and every such hog
found a ready sale at the market last
week. The corn fed hogs would not
bring $5, although they were offered
at that figure. The principal dealers
in hogs refuse to handle corn -fed pork
at any price, as it is un suitable for the
English export trade. Free corn •dt•ill
certainly be no benefit to this country
as far as the beg industry is concerned..
On the contrary it will be a serious
menace to ane of, Canada's most pro-
mising industries. The majority are
unenlivens in their opposition to the use
of corn in feeding hogs. The majority
of farmers do not approve of free corn
because it tends to decrease the price
of oats, barley and other coarse grain.
The dury on American cosh should be
xestored." ' •
'Farmer John McMillan, of South
Huron, who is one of the •champions
Of free corn, does not raise hogs.

At reek. -night on Tuesday, while the
citizens of the peaceful little village
of Centralia, were enwrapped in quiet
slumber, a shooting affray was being.
enacted on one of the back streets,
William Kelly nsa, popular andd well-
to-do farmer of the lst concession of
Biddulph, near Mooresville. He is one
of the large army of men Mr. Bobier,
of Exeter, has engaged to haul cream
to the Jersey Creamery, and it is. Mr.
Kelly's work to gather the cream in
the morning, put it on ice during the
day, and haul it to the factory in the
eyening. It was while on his way
home Tuesday evening that he receiv-
ed the contents of one of the chambers
of a 32 -calibre revolver into his head.
He reached Centralia about eleven
o'cloek, stopping at Grafton's hotel.
Shortly after that hour he left the
Hotel, stating to the landlord that he
wished to see `Billy" Taylor, to en-
gage lien to help with some farm
work the following day, and proceed-
ed to Taylor's abode.
"Taylor and his wife. and daughter
live with Richard Culbert, Taylor's
son -iii -law, who his a widower. Kelly
knocked at the back door, Culbert, re-
sponding. He told his mission, but
Culbert appeared to be out of sorts.
Receiving no satisfaction, Kelly re-
turned to the house shortlyafterwards
and tapped on thewindow, whereupon
("allied seized his revolver and fired
through the window at Kelly, putting
a long 32 cartridge into his head. The
ball entered at the lower part of the
left -nasal bone near the eye, breaking
it, and passing back into the head,
lodged near the lower part of the left
ear.
Belly staggered half unconscious to
a door step to sit down, but Culbert, it
is said, came out of the house, caught
him by the aria and walked hint off
the place. When they reached the
gate, Culbert, doubtless realizing what
he had done and observing the limp
condition of Kelly, examined Ins
victim and noticing the hole in his
head tried to extract the bail. Notic-
ing that Kelley was losing consider-
able blood, he beeame alarmed and at
once despatched "Billy" Taylor for the
local physician. Tho, doctor, -learning
what had happened, would not go
near the place without a constable.
Soon a number of persons were at the
scene of the tragedy, and bad Kelly
removed and comfortably stretched
out in Culbert's house, while County
Constable Davis arrested Culbert and
gplaced him in Crediton lock up. Dr.
owning, of Exeter, and Dr. Wis-
hart, of London, were summoned, and
for several liatu's worked without suc-
cess to find the ball. As further pro-
bing would be injurious to the pati-
ent, Kelly was removed to his home
in Biddulph, to wait developments,
and if he recovers, which, in the
opinion of the doctors, is likely, the
-Rays will be employed to locate the
ball.
The patient gradually grew stronger
as he recovered from the shock, and
was able to walk from the house to
the waggon and sit in the seat to ride
home.
The persons in the house at the time
of the shooting were : Richard Cul-
bert, the prisoner : William Taylor,
wife and daughter, and Mrs. George
illuttart, of Exeter.
It is said that Culbert had been
quarrelling with several people during
the day and was somewhat out of
temper in consequence ; but he claims
be was justified in shooting Kelly.
The prisoner wale taken before
Magistrate Lewis, at. Crediton yester-
day afternoon, and committed to
Goderich jail for trial,

The Dominion Government's esti-
mates contain an appropriation of
some $7,000 or $8,000 for putting Bay-
field harbor in first class shape. It,

amount to extend the piers and deepen
the channel so that even a small
steamer could lay alongside, and
it must be for some two or three tish-
boats—or an election reward --that this

!TRENTON TALK.
Mr. J. T. Dillon, Chairman of the
board of Assessors of the city of Mon-
treal, is one of the best known and
most popular citizens of the great
metropolis.
As Mr. Dillon bad some years ago
giyen-g nipublic testimony regarding the
,
lmfd. „ng virtues of Paine's Celery
Compound, he was recently asked if
his opinions had in any way changed
as far as the value of the great curing
medicine is concerned.
Mr. Dillon's reply was prompt, and
his statement as strong aswords.cou]d
make it. His brief letter reads as fol-
lows.
"I aux inreceipt of your valued favor,
and would say that I most cheerfully
testify again to the worth, value and
merits of Patine's Celery Compound.
"I am neverwith out a bottle of it in
my possession, and I partake of it
daily. This t have been in the habit
of doing for some seven years, and can
affirm that, judging from experience,
it is a most wonderful nerve restorer
and tonic. Hardly a day passesby me
that I am not asked the question,
'What do you do to yourself to pre-
serye your youthful appearance?."
My reply is, I take Paine's CeleryCom-
pound.

What a Reporter has to say About
the Case ofMrs,D.N.Ostrander.
Our reporter called at the cosy resi•
-
donee of Mrs. D. N Ostrander, Tren-
ton, and was met at the door by a
bright, sprightly and energetic lady,
who turned out to be no less than Mrs..
Ostrander 'herself,
l
r er elf,
and who told how
Ost
she was restored from a condition of.
misery to one of healthy and strength -
by the use of Milburn's Heart and.
Nerve Pills.
Said Mrs. Ostrander: "I have beena
great sufferer for many years withmy
heart and nerves, and was almost a
complete wreck. When going around
the house I would get so bad that I
had to lie down on the lounge until I'
could recover my breath. This occur-
red several times during the day. At
night I could hardly sleep at'all, and.•
when I would drop off to sleep would.
wake up with a start, followed by a
suffocating feeling as if my heart had.
stopped beating forever. I have had. •
to have my feet put in hot water anat
had hot cloths laid across my body be-
fore a comforting powder; in fact this
was almost a nightly occurrence. Pen
cannot portray what any _ suffering
was. I got yery languid and weakand
no ambition, and thought everything
wasoin wrong with me. I grew
morbid in nand, lost my appetite,
had to force myself to eat what little
I did. I was reduced to almost a skel-
eton, weighing only 90 pounds at the
time I commenced to use Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills, and I can telt
you I would have given but little for
my chances of living much longer.
Several doctors attended me, and I
have taken all kinds of proprietory
Inediciues, but without avail. 1 got a
box at last of Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pill's at Shurie's drug store, and
thought that I would try thein as a last
resort. The results were simply mar-
velous. 1 began to improve from the
first few doses, and noticed a big dif-
ference before I had taken one box.
Now I sleep well, the suffocating feel-
ing is completely gone. I have splen-
did strength, and my appetite is such
that I have to restrain myself for fear
I eat to much. I can eat anything
that is set before me and ani better
now thatu I have been for years. Ani
increasing in weight right along, and
feel that life is worth the living,thanks
to Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills. I
recommend thein very hightly to those
suffering from heart and nerve trou-
bles as I did.
