AN "ARTFUL DODGER"
As an "artful dodger," the Huron
Expositor is without a rival. A few
weeks ago THE TIDIES said:—"Thetext
books used in the schools cost the
public from 50c. to 100 per cent. more
than what they would cost if published
by open competition."
Our Seaforth contemporary appears
to think that the mathematical pro-
position involved in the,foregoingstate-
ment is an absurdity, for it says, "we
would like THE TIDIES to explain what
the price of an article would be if it were
reduced two hundred or even one
hundred per cent." The Expositor is
either densely ignorant or it takes its
readers to be. If, knowing better, it
wishes its readers to believe that THE
Teams said the cost of the books should
be reduced one or two hundred per
cent. it was guilty of Iasis -stating our
argument with the intention of deceiv-
ing its readers. If it honestly believes
that our statement will bear the in-
terpretation it puts upon it, then we
are sorry for its imbecility. To be
either afoolor knave is notverycredit-
able, but the Expositor must be one
or the other. We add here to our
statement: Any one with an ounce of
brains can tell the Expositor that
ivinile an article may be increased in
cost Zit), 100, or even a million per cent,
it is impossible to reduce it 100 per cent,
without wiping out the entire figure.
It is a sail business attempting an
argument with one whose political
morals are hopelessly bad, or whose
head is hopelessly wrong. To attempt
the almost impossible task of making
this proposition plain to the Expositor,
let us take his own business. Sonne
years ago he Expositor charged its
subscrthers $2 a year ; now it charges
$1 for the paper. That was areduction
ief 50 per cent. Another reduction of
a like figure would wipe out his sub-
scription price altogether. On the
other hand were it to advance its price
from one $1 to $2 per year, it would
increase the cost to subscribers 100 per
cent. Does our cotero. see this? We
are afraid not. We apologize to our
readers for referring to this matter.
It is done in the hope -we hardly ex-
pect it though—that the Expositor may
get a Iittle sadly -needed light.
CANADIAN LOGS.
Washington, Nov. 27.—John Milieu,
of Black River, Mich., Gen. Alger's
field marshal in the logging business,
spent yesterday in Washington. con-
ferring with his chief. Mr, Millen was
one of the most active campaigners
for a $1 lumber tariff last spring and
he says there is grave reason, in his
opinion, to fear that the Canadian
Government will presently be forced
to prohibitthe exportation of saw loss
whether it wants to or not. "All
along Georgian Bay" he says, "are
pretty good-sized Canadian towns that
live on the lumber -cutting business.
These places have absolutely nothing
else to draw upon, and the moment
the mills shut down the towns are
dead and the .inhabitants are idle.
Heretoforethe mills have
cut
a good
deal of lumber for the American mar-
ket, but $2 lumber tariff has stopped
that, and the Canadian owners of
stumpage have began to raft their logs
across to the mills in Michigan,because
we admit logs free, If this keeps up,
and the chances are it will, the people
of these Canadian towns will be pauper-
ized, and, as it seems to me, the
Canadian Government will be forced
to protect them by doing something
radical to force the sawing of Canadi-
an logs in Canada."
Conservative Victory.
Some weeks ago victory was pre-
dicted for the Conservatives in Turtle
Mountain, and the prediction has been
more than fulfilled, the majority for
the Conservative candidate, James
Johnson, exceeding by several score
what the most sanguiue anticipated it
would be. The election was to fill the
vacancy in the Legislature caused by
the death of John Hettie, Liberal. It
took place on Saturday, and Mr. John-
son was returned by a majority of 141,
with one place to bear from, which
will probably increase it to 150. The
constituency never went Conservative
before, and the result of the election is
due to the Hon. Hugh John Mac-
donald's efforts to organize the Con-
servatives, and the exposure of the
Government's financial policy by the
Opposition speakers. This is the first
slap the Government Lave received
since Messrs. Greenway and Martin
dode triumphantly into power on the
disallowance cry. Mr. Johnson's op-
ponent was Thomas Nichol, merchant,
of Boissevain. Mr. Johnson is a
farmer.
Death by Gabs iii a Tun•nel.
Sarnia,Nov. 29.—Last night,between
eight and nine o'clock, as a heavy
train of twenty-eight loaded cars of
beef were being drawn up the incline
of the Grand Trunk tunnel, a coupling
broke, and twenty-seven cars slid back
into the tunnel.
Three men went in on the engine
for the train, but failed to return, and
when a relief crew went to the rescue
they found the men suffocated, dead,
from gas in the tunnel. Their names
are :
P. J.Courtney,engineer,Port Huron.
Arthur Dunn, conductor.
John Dalton,brakesman.
The searchers also rescued Williann
Dunn, the fireman, and Win. Potter,
brakeman, in an unconscious con-
dition. Three members of the search-
ing party were also overcome, but
were rescued by another party.
The tunnel gas arises from the hard
coal used by the locomotives.
Three men, who started in from the
Michigan side, were overcome by the
gas, but were rescued in time to save
their lives.
NOTES AND COMMENTS. l
Montreal was asked to give up half
of Victoria Square as the site of the
new head offices which the Grand
Trunk Railway was to erect for the
accommodation of the staff the com-
pany proposed to transfer from the
old headquarters of Point St. Charles.
Imagines city Montreal's size bonus-
ing a railway company with land
worth $250,000 in order to secure the
erection of an office building. Other
concessions in the way of reduced taxa-
tion were also asked. Suppose the
building to be erected would cost $500,
000 the evils of Montreal's example
would he none the less deplorable.
The railway companies of Canada
have got more from the people in the
way of subsidies in land and money
than the railways of any other conn try
h. These swine railways
on earth. carry
fewer burdens in the way of taxation
in Canada than do the railways of any
other country.

The Canadian Government has de-
cided that in future the postal rate
from armada to all parts of the British
Empire shall be three cents for one
ounceof mail, instead of as at, present
five cents for half an ounce. Hitherto,
for many years, the three cent rate has
only applied to letters sent to any part
of Canada and the United States. Un-
der the new arrangement, Great `.
Britain and all outlying partsof the
British Empire will have the decided
preference ever foreign Countries in
postal rates stated above. This con-
cession in the postal service is accept-
able as far as it goes, but isonly cal -
ciliated to please the Imperialistic
sentiment at bat little cost to the
Dominion. It is .of little real benefit
to Canadians, whose correspondence
to Greet Britain is .a mere bag-a-telle
compared with that among our own
people. Had the Government reduced
the postal rate to points in Canada and
the United States to 2 cents, there
w a :::d have been something to blow
about, but to simply reduce thep ost-'
age to Britain is an act worthy of.
Iittle favorable comment.

The Lady Uses Pane's
Celery Compound and
is Cured.
Mrs. Saunders, of Bracondale, a sub-
urb of Toronto, lay in the hospital
suffering front a trouble quite common
with many of her sex. At a critical
time in her sickness the doctors deem-
ed an operation necessary. Mrs.
Saunders wisely refused to submit to
the decision of the medical staff, and
decided to try the virtues of Paine's
Celery Compound.
After being blessed with a complete
cure, Mrs. Saunders wrote as follows ;
"It is with much pleasure that I
testify to the vain of your wonderful
Paine's Celery Compound. I was a
great sufferer from severe attacks of
neuralgia in the left ovary, At times
the attacks were so acute that I
thought I would lose my reason.
"Several doctors treated Ine, and I
was a 'patient in St. Joseph's Hospi-
tal, Hamilton. I obtained no relief
from medical treatment. The doctors
said unless I had the ovary taken away
I could not be cured.
"Instead of submitting to the opera-
tion I used Paine's Celery Compound,
and I aro thankful your valuable med-
icine cured me. I feel like a new wo-
man, and I would like all sufferers to
know just what this great medicine
bas done for me."
