Dr. McKay, of Woodstock, is well informed, there must be truth in his boast that seventy-five per cent of the population of Oxford County is in favor of prohibition. A people so nearly unanimous in their opposition to- the lignor traffic might be expected to send red-hot temperance men to the Ontario Legislature at least. It is not on record that Oxford's entb.usiasni for the tempera,nee cause is reflected in the speeches or votes of that county's representatiyes in the Ontario Legisla- ture. According to the Rev. Dr. Mc- Kay,Oxfordfcounty is overwhelmingly attached to certain principles, and yet that same county elects representa- tives who are entirely indifferent to the success of principles.—Toronto Telegram. x With the experience of the -United States to guide our statesmen at Ot- tawa there ought to be no trouble in enacting an insolvency law at the next or succeeding sessions of the Domin- ion Parliament. Year after year the proposedbill has been brought before Congress, only to be crowded off the order paper, but this year the law has passed the Senate and the House and been. signed by the President The new insolvency law is said to be free from the defects -which forced the abolition of the whole statute, and will, it is estimated, give about 200,000 bankrupt American citizens a chance to get on their feet again. Canada will have a good chance to profit by the experience of • the 'United States, for that which works well across the line in not likely to work badly here. THE NEW PLATFORM.

"Efforts to appease the Opposition, carefulness to exhibit a less corrupt or even an absolutely pure Adnaimstra- 'lion compared with the past,willprove labor lost.

Let the Opposition press paint its sheets with double-headers 'job,' 'steal,' 'thief,' in dismal black, occupying its main space, it will utterly fail to move the natural torpor so far as alleged corruption is concerned of the average 'manhood suffrager.' Thousands of the 'free and independent' howl against boodle because it comes not their way." --Old Liberal, in Globe, April 2. 1 We do not hear nowadays Sir 11ich- 1 era's. or Mr. McMullen's lead protesta- tions against large expenditures, On the contrary, wa are. told "the expen- 1 diture of the DeMinion an never go • back to the Old lignre," We are not informed that honesty iu adininistra- tion is a necessity. On. the contrarY, it is deelared that boodle is the riding facto; ard that it can be used to de- feat the people. We are not asked to stand gut, for official cleanness. Ou the contrary, it is represented that the favored ' officials ought to be al- lowed to piek up a little share, and. that it is unpatriotic to think other- wise, Respectable Liberals do not like the altered. platform ; but it is pushed in front of them by the selfish element that uses the principles of honest men as means for the promotion of private gain. French aristocrecy was tested at the bazaar fire in Paris, where able-bodied. men trampled on and beat clowa help- less women in their fight for safety. French democracy seems to have been tested at the sinking of the La Bourgogne, with results which cannot he regarded as creditable to French manhood. It is possible that the sailors who acted like wild beasts might haye been developed into heroes if they had been instantaneously controlledby the right sort of leadership. Britain has often enough had reason to weep for the loss of brave men and helpless women and ehildren. Britain has seldom bad reason to blush for men, who should be brave, bringing disgrace upon their country and them- selves in the hour of trial. It is good to remember that in moments of great disaster British sailors have seldom al- lowed shame to be added to sorrow. No matter which party is in power the people are able, if they were vvill- bag, to abolish the system of appoint- ing members of Parliament to office. The cure for the evil is beautiful in its simplicity. All the people need is to elect an Opposition candidate when- ever a constituency is opened by the appointment of the sitting member to office. If all the Ontario constituen- cies which have been opene& by their representareyes' acceptance of offices were to go Tory, there would be no • more Ontario vacancies from the same cause in the lifetime of this Parlia- ment, So in Quebec and every other province where a representative of the people takes office. The people are responsible for the system of appoint- ing members of Parliament to office, In the first place they are willing to elect eepresentatives who are willing • to take office, and in the second place they elect representatives of the same political stripe to go and do likewise. Then the poor politicians are blamed for doing exactly what the people want them to do.—Telegram, Our esteemed contemporary, The 'Seafoeth Expositor, pertinently re- marks, "Who owns West Huron, any- how ?" Well, from our point of 'view, ws helieye the people own it, just as th own South Hummel -id when any politician thinks he carries it in his breeches' pocket he is Thible to be •slipped up. See I—Goderielt Signal, .A DELUSION. A BAD PLATFORM, At the Siincoe county plebiscite meet- ing held in Barrie last Thursday, a motion was introduced and passed amidst considerable opposition, thank- ing the powers at Ottawa for the plebiscite. The most outspoken oppon- ent was Rev. Mr. Noble, of Elrovale, who termed the plebiscite "an artifice to stave off the questitm," "a positive noisfortrin.e, as it, brings about no im- mediate issue." It is an artifice, in that the Laurier administration, is us- ing it as a gag in the meantime to those calling for prohibitory legisla- tion; it is a misfortune, in that:it means the wasteful expenditure of $250,000 in feeling the people that have already been felt in most of the Pro- vinces. If Laurier and his colleagues had been sincere,theywould have pass- ed a prohibitory law subject to its ac- ceptance by people. The expendi- ture of the large amount of money would then have been to some purpose. Twohun dred and fifty thousa,nd dollars is nothing, however, to a Tarte, who has been introducing into Canada the Mercier system of layish expenditure, which resulted in a bankrupt Quebec, and has raised the expenditure in Can- ada in two years over $12,000,000.—St. Catharines Star. A SHOCKING DEAL. A FAMINE IN BINDER TWINE. --- There is a famine in binder twine, partly as a result of the Spanish-Am- erican war,and partly as a result of the action of the Canadian Government in remodeling thodutyon this article, The famine prevails not only in Canada but • in th.e -United States, where there will be a shortage of at leaft 10,000 tons. 'As an instance of the situation, binder twine was bought in Toronto on Tuesday of last week at 6 cents and sold next day for 12 cents. The total consmption in Canada is about 80,- 000 tons, and the shortage for Mani- toba and Ontario will be at least 2,- 000 tons. The Laurier Government took the duty off binder twine, and closed all the mills in the country with the exception of two. one in Brant- fcird and one at KingstonPenitentiary. Agents from. the United States have been through Canada for the last two or three .weeks picking up all they can in tons and cart load lots, and it is more than likely that the price will go to 25c or 30c in a, few days. If the Ca- nadian mills had been left unmolested by Parliament they would. have been running today; there would have been an am aunt produced sufficient for the Canadian farmers,and the price would have been fairly reasonable. It will be rememberedhereafter that four of the five English. Commissioners having the management of Montreal harbor voted against accepting the proposed loan of $2,000,000 from the Dominion Government. This reason for so doing was that Mr. Tarte had burdened the loan with a condition that $750,000 of it should be spent on the dry dock, in the east end. The shipping interests are opposed to that item. No dock is wanted or needed there. Even the Montreal Witness, as good a Grit paper as it is, repudiates that idea; hut Tarte was wedded to the scheme because it will throw much money into the pockets of his con- stituents, who have property in that vicinity. It is merely another feature in his policy for enriching "our friends" at the expeese of the country —not at the expense of Montreal, be- cause it is well-known that the loan, or at least $750,000 of it, will eventually be remitted by the Government. Only one British Canadian voted for this "deal," and his name is Jonathan Hudgson The others who voted for it are of the French Canadian race -which Tarte and his pal Prefontaine seem, to hold in the hollow of their hands. Canadians can only hope that, event- ually the eyes of deluded Quebec Lib- erals will be opened, NOT MUCH The first fruits of Mr. Fielding's double action tariff is the loss of the German's market to the Canadian farmer and manufacturer. "Its only the loss of a tnillien dollars a year,' says Sire Richard Cartwriebt, "and that isn't reach I" Not much? If the Liberal statemen bad secured a new market of 1.000,000 a year, their jubilation would have known no bounds; but the loss of such a market only causes them gentle amusement, But it is not merely a vanished trade of $1,000,000 that Oanadians have to mourn but the fact that the Govern- ment have cut off a prospect of increas- ing the trade to perha,ps 50 times that sum. The American exports to Ger- many amount to $80,000,000 annually. Those exports are largely. made up of the very commoditieswhich Canadians have to sell, But, of course, Mr. Fielding "didn't know an this." Friday morning Robt.

ONTARIO HOUSE MEETS ON AUG. 3, The Ontario Legislature has been summoned to meet on 3rd August. This announcembnt was made official- ly yesterday, and will create a sen- sation from the oneend of the province to the other. In deciding to call the Legislature together, Mr. Hardy has adopted a courageous policy. It is a bold method of cutting the gordian knot, with all its attendant perplexity. Mr. Hardy no doubt, wishes to learn were he stands, and whether he has at his back a majority of the members elect- ed to the Legislature last Marc, The political situation at present is un- certain, and would remain so for a considerable time were it not for some such policy as that to which the Pre - neer is having recourse. The meeting of the Legislature will have the effect of clearing the air and showing the strength of the two political parties. The House of Lords has, by a vote of 120 to 46, passed the second reading of the bill of Lord Strathcona and lVlount Royal making marriage with a deceased wife's sister lawfully contracted in the colonies valid in the United Kingdom. The leading feature of the bill is that it allows the children ot those domiciled ha the colonies, where such marriages are lawful to succeed to real property in the United Kingdom. Lord. Strathcona, 'said the bill was introdeeed at the express de- sire of the Government of Canada, and be added that nearly every colony joined in the request. • Impure blood is an enemy to health, and may lead to serious disease.

The benefit derived frora an adver- tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read. it. To reach th.e greatest number of readers at the least possible •expense, is a question that should be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in Tor- onto or London, and. distributed in this section, would be just as effective as if the bill had been printed in town. There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach the people in their homes, newspeper advertising is the only successful way. To get the best results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest amount of local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon which prices should. be fixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one with a circulation of 600 would be entitl- ed to po. An advertiser should take these facts into careful eonsideration, when making contracts. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several puapers when one covers the ground. T TIMES is read by more people in Exeter, Usboree, Stephen, Hay, the northern part of Biddulph and McGillivray than all other county papers combined, and an advertise- ment placed in it mail be found the most effectual way in which to reach • the people. d • d BIRTHS. ercaTAUGErrOST—In onijune 22,the wife of R.
