"Let the Mondike pay for theIllon-

seized upon by many of the Liberal
papers as their poor excuse for the
proposed. presentation of an empire in
gold -bearing lands to MeKenzie &
Mann. A soundprinciple is embodied
• in that cry, but the principal is not
truly appliedwhen two individuals are

would enable the Klondike to pay its

way to make the Klondike pay for the
Klondike is to adrainister the resources
•of the Klondike in such a way as to
produce& revenue equal to all the de-
• mands entailed by the development of
that region, and. to leave a surplus for
- the benefit of the whole country.

First the United States will have to
get Spain out of Cuba,. and then Am-
erican.statesmanship will have to
wrestle with the problem of getting
the United States troops out of Cuba
without exposing the whole popula-
tion of the island to the dangers of an-
• archy. There are less than 200,000
people of distinctly European origin
ori the island. There are about 800,000
negroes and Indian, African and Span-
ish bloodflows in the veins of a few
hundred thousand Cubans. Spain
may have a cruel despotism, but Cuba
is an island. which must be governed
by force and uot by reason. A benevo-
lent despot like Diaz of Mexico might
be able: to protect property without
destroying freedom, but the United
State 3 Government will first have to
• thrash Spain in order to rescue the
Cubans from thepains of tyranny,and
then they will have to thump the so-
called patriots in order to save the solid
business population of the island from
the perils of anarchy.

THE SIITATION IN CUBA,
• General Lee's etatement before the
foreign relatious committee of the
13'nited8eates Senate belongs to that
cease of oews which is "important, if
true," The general has been two years
in Havana, and should know whereof
he speaks. He says that of the 1,500,000
people in Cuba, only 300,000 are Spam,
ish, The armed force of the inSargents
members 31,000 to 32,000 men that of
Spain from 55,000 to 50,000. The Spanish
army, he says, is ill -clothed, ill -fed, ill-
orgenieed and poorly -drilled. The offi-
cers have riot been paid for three
months, nor privates for nine months.
Owing to the ravages of war, all hiter-
nal food sepplies are exhausted, and
the population, even in Havana, is liv-
ing from hand to mouth. The only re-
cent supplies have come front the Unit-
ed States, and those are now cut off.
He does not belieye that Spain has
spent one ceut to relieve the starving
reconcentradoes, It was General Lee's
evidence thab largely shaped the for-
eign committee's resolution, and this

of his responsibility.

Mr. Hardy is in ill health from ner-

among the considerable number who
'find the strain of a sturoping tour, to
look after their political health, too
much for them physically. And then
Mr. Hardy has had an exciting time

In the event of another election,
which may come off next winter or
spring, it appears to us • that the
Conservatives have much in their
'tieron Two significant featere,s of thee
late contest show, first that the
Conservatives made nearly all their
gains inrural constituencies, arid second
that the Patrons in the last House were
largely replaced. by Coeservatives.
The Liberals only succeeded to three
seats held formerly by the Patrons,
while the Conservatives secured
twelve. Then the Conservatives made
all their enormous gains in rural con-
stituencies, with the exception of one
seat in Ottawaand the two Hamiltons.

The trnited States Government pro-
poses to raise war taxes in this way:
First, an additional dollar a barrel on
beer, $35,000,000;second,astatnp tax on
bank checks, $30,000,000; third, a duty
of 3centsperpound on coffee, $20,000,-
000;fourth,a duty of 10 cents perpound
on teae$8,000,000; fifth, an additional tax
on tobacco, $15,000,000; total, $108,000-
000. Most of this, it will be observed, is
internal revenue. A general increase
of tariff taxation is impossible. The
receipts under_ the Dingley bill are in-
sufficient to eneet ordinary expenses,
a,nd to raise the tariff schedule would
cause a shrinkage of revenue by dimin-
ishing imports.
Speaking at the Canadian Club ban-
quet, at Hamilton last Thursday, Sir
Charles Hibbert Tupper said :-"We
are helping to maintain the grandest,
empire that the world has ever seen.
The past of British North America, had
been a grand one; the future will be
still grander. We are becoming an
interesting study to every intelligent
man the world over. We DO longer
discuss whether or not our national
venture has been a successful one.
The two great political parties now
try to determine to which we owe
success." He produced statistics to
show that our progress during the
put 25 years had been very rapid.
Speaking of the Behring Sea, question,
he said that it rested not upon Eng-
land to successfully vindicate her free -
dam to the seas. It was done, guided
by Canada's advice and money. He
closed with a peroration teeming with
loyalty to our country arida= mother
land. Principal Grant followed him,
speaking to the same toast, "Canada."
Canada's Positioia if War Comes.
The decision of Congress to wage
war agaiest Spain brings up the ques-
tion of the relations of Canada to the
combatants while the conflict is in
progress. The attitude of this country
will be entirely governed by instruc-
tions received from time to time from
the colonial office. The sale of coal
and sirniler supplies to war vessels of
either Spain or tbe United States in
Canadian ports must be governed by
thedecision of theimpetial authorities.
If coal is declared contraband of war
by the colonell office the ruling will
apply to Canada as well as to jainalca,
and other parts of the West Indies,
M is not, eepected that there will be
any difficulty experienced in maintain-
ing strict neutrality, although in the
event, of naval operations in the North
Atlantic the warehips of both countries
mighb be compelled to wee the harbor
of Flalifax at times. If war is long
continued and Spain goes into the
busineee of preying on American com-
merce, Montreal and Halifax should
become for the tune the most import-
ant sailing points for European trafffe,
Even if the Spanarde should he beaten

When Charles Rolston, a farmer liv-
ing about a mile away from 1Valker-

afternoon, his horse took fright at a
bicycle and ran away. Mr. Roiston
and his son were thrown from the
wagon and seriously cut about the
head. They were carried into a neigh-
bor's house, where, though Dr. Stalker
was called in immediately, the father
died shortly afterwards without re-
covering consciousness. The son will
probably recover. Roisbon leaves a
wife and several small children. •
The death occurred at Thorndale
Saturday inornin,g of Edward Lee,
who was injured in a rini away accident
in the village Good Friday. Deceased
was driving with his mother when the
horses took fright and ran away.
Both were thrown out, and Mrs. Lee
snstained serious injuries as well. It
was hoped. that a fatal termination
could be averted, until a short time
before death ensued. The deceased
was in his 29th year. He was a young
farmer residing a short distance from
Thorudale, and was well known and
respected. •
What proyed to be a sudden death,
happened to George W. Parmenter, of
Blyth, on Monday morning of last
week. He had been engaged to build
a brick oven for the Misses Watson,
in. the rear of Kelly's brick store, and
on Monday morning he undertook to
takeout thelbraces which were holding
it up, and bad them all removed but
one when it suddenly fell in, burying
him beneath its ruins. He was taken
out from among the bricks and sand
and it was thought at first that life
was extinct, but through the faithful
efforts of the doctors they got him to
breathe. But he grew gradually worse,
and passed away early Tuesday morn-
• ing, having never regained conscious-
ness.
Rev. R. M. Dickey, one of the Pres-
byterian Klondike missionaries, at
present stationed at Skaguay, writing
from that place to the Mission Society
says the reports detailing the amount
of sickness in the gold -fields have been
greatly exaggerated. There was con-
siderable sickness, but none more than
could. be expected under the existing
condition. The chief troubles the writ-
er states, are diagnosed as pneumonia].
and cerebro -spinal meningitis. The
latter is troubling- the physicians very
much. It seems to be a nervous
trouble, caused by excitement, expo-
sure and want of proper nourishment
and care. The total number of deaths
in the town has not exceeded thirty,
and ten of these were from accident
or violence. The multitudes arriving
in Skaguay are deplorably ignorant
of the country and. conditions, and go,
but scantily prepared. What will
eventually become of nine -tenths now
arriving, Mr. Dickey states, is hard to
say, Numnere are returning on every
boat.

-CO .0.1iX EDIT= OP THE TOMS.—
Perinit me just a short space in yoar
paper to place before the public, ha its
erne light, the shameful deal which the
Reformers of the village of Exeter have
been subjected to in the matter of the
appointment to the ve,eant poStantster-
ship. I'm, myself, 1 may say that I
was not an applicant for the position,
but I have been. a lifetime Reformer
and perhaps am better qualified and
more entitled to the position. than
many of those who did apply. From
the inoment our late andiiiiicle esteem-
ed postmaster departed this life, I felt
that there would be many persons
seeking the office, and that Mr. Rutz,
M. P., would have some difficulty
in selecting a man, whose appointment
would satisfy every person, but I never
• supposed that the affair would culmin-
ate In such a farce as that which we
witnessed at the Tammany meeting of
last Tuesday evening. I am inclined
to believe that Mr. Ratz was himself
humbugged by some of our local veire-
for the member of Parliamerit to re-
ipnnaltleis.„ I am told that it is customary
recommendation, the government
commend some suitable person for a
poeition of this kind, and that on his

Hueston, D. A., gee% Dr, Amos, Wm.
Bawden, Edward Christie, or in fact
any of the applicants,the appointment
would have been made hi a decent and
above -board manner, no person would
have complained and we would. have
been saved the disgraceful exhibition
of the Tnesclay evening's meeting.
Had the a,ppointment been ina,de ha
the regular way we would not have
seen two or three of the appli-
cants chasing around. the village to
secure committee men who would vote
to suit them. I have been present at
many political meetings and have seen
--many questions voted upon, but Tues-
day night's meeting and Tuesday
night's vote caps anything I ever wit-
nessed for impudent fraud and treach-
ery. I was puzzled at the time to
know what to make of it, but have
since been informed that there was
something behind the scenes for the
cheif actor, and that peculiar care
and scheming were eimployed in the
selection of the balloting committee
and their nominators. It was John
you nominate so and so, Dan you nom-
inithe so and so, and so the game was
worked. I can speak for myself and
many other good Reformers in this
matter, and I regret to have to say
that this deal if it goes through, will
be a most disastrous blow to our par-
ty not only in the village of Exeter,
but throughout the adjoining- ridings.
Yours respectfully, e

Still another victim of the grim reap-
er was in the person of Mary Ann Carr,
mother of John E. Carr, who passed
away at her son's residence, Thames
concession on Sunday, at the adyan-
ced age or '84 years. She was a resi-
dent of London township until about
ten years ago when she went with her
son to live in St. Marys.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and themembers
of his Cabinet are abont to share in the
no -vel experience of having a petition
presented to them from the evomen of
the world, a petition miles long, con-
taining thousands upon thousands of
signatures, and written in every des-
cription of national style. It is the
polyglot petition of the W. O. T U.,
which encircled the galleries of the
Massey Hall, at the time of the con-
vention last fall. It was then expect-
ed that the late Miss Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset would be among those
forming the presentation deputation
at Ottawa. Negotiations are now in
progress between tbe W. C. E U. and
leading temperance men and W01110O
in the chief cities of the various pro-
vinces for the organization of a repre-
sentative and imposing deputation.

will be an effeceive set-off to the efforts

is. remarkable case recently came
under the notice of our reporter, and
for the benefit it may be to some of our
readers, we are going to tell them
about it. In the South ward of this
town lives Mrs. John Hubbard, a lady
unich esteemed by those who know
her. Mrs. Hubbard has been a great
sufferer from heart trouble, and ultiun
ately became so had that ie wouldnot
nave surprised. her frienis to have

called upon Mrs. Hubbard and made
his mission known she said she would
be delighted to tell him of lier "mir-
aculous cure" as she styled it. "Of
course no one thougbt I would get
better. I thought myself I could not

oh, the divadful sensations, the
awful pains and weakness, together
with a peculiar feeling of dis-
tress, all weaned me that toy life was
in danger. I consulted a doctor but be
could ao absolutely nothing for me.
My friends saw me gradually sinking,
and many an hour's anxiety I caused
them. My strength waned, my nerves
were shattered; I could not walk, for
every step caused my heart, to palpi-
tate violently. It is utterly impossible
to fully describe my condition. One,
day a friend brought me a box of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills,' and told me to
use them, but I said there was no use --
they could do no good. To this nay
benefactor replied, that if they did
not they- at least could do no harm, so
to pleaseher took the box of pills. Then
I procured another box and began to
feel that they were doing me good. I
took in all eight boxes and now I feel
strong and hearty, each day doing my
housework without fatigue or weari-
ness. For anyone who suffers from
weakness of the heart, believe there
is no remedy so sure or that will bring
snch speedy results as Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Had I only used. these
wonderful pills at first I Would have

experience of scores of sufferers, and
