P. P., onght not to be in the local house, and the fine workers who unfairly helped to pet him there ought to be in jail, The West Elgin Liberals may have a per feetly good defence. Their defence evill need to be a good. one. The Con- servativeshave inade statements which must force Mr. McNish to prove that he a.nd his party are not the benefic- iaries at one of the grayest crimes in the history a Canadian politics. The technical right of Mr.MacNish to the seat must be determined by the slow processes ot the law. The Ontario Legislature, which Hon. J. T. Giterow described as the highest court of jus- tice in the province, has an immediate right to get at the truth, The adjust- ment of ?Jr. McDiarinid's rights as against Mr. McNish can be left to the courts, but the country's fame should be vindicated from such charges of wholesale ballotebox stuffing. Every right-thinking Canadian will applaud Mr. Whitney's demand for an immed- iate enquiry into the conduct of the polling officials employed in the West Elgin elections. — Toronto Telegram Indepenant. ol so ns bank The storm raised by Sr. Charles °melte — — 00,000,000 — Bead °Ince, Moutr:al. 14C11:4°,1" lad WoLPLI1STAN TROM.6,8,1Ese., assnaar4MANAcara oney advanced. to good farmers en their „%.1.hote with one or more endorser at 7 per . pm annum.

The cerfeev by-law, which seems to ;have fallen into disuse•in many places in Ontario, received a prompt check an Vineland, N. J., recently. Mrs. !Oeerisonewife of Rev. S. Olin Garrison, 'superintendent of the New Jersey •traininer School for Feeble Minded !,Children, has said of the law: "It will teach children to defy laws, as it will enot be enforced properly. We already :!,(deave too many laws that are dead. :In homes, if parents dia. not make their children observe their rules it ' would deraoralize the family and weaken the plerents' authority." These L,a-e sensible observations, and are just as applicable here es elsewhere. x ' Consumption heads the list in the . causes of deseth in Ontario for the past three months. There were /46 deaths 4. in November out of a total ef 248, or over one-half. The number is 19 greater than for the corresponding ersentin Au Thin, but the number of municipalities reporting has increased from 563 to 667. Diphtheria comes next, 59 deaths, then typhoid fever 50, and. scarlatina 17. As these reports become fuller (they now embrace 667 out of 745 municipalities) they empha- eize the extent of the ravages of cone sumptiea in this province. This is a reason why goveinmental aid should 1 be given to sanitariums for consurnp- t on, wherever local municipalities show a desire to erect them. x + x It would be euriOtiS if, as is report ed from St. Petersburg, the interest taken by Count Tolstoi in the emigra- tion of the Doiikhobors, should lead to his own banishment. Whatever may be thought about his peculiar opinions, Tolstoi is the most prominent man of letters in Russia, indeed, the only one who is known to the rest of the world. I3ut there has always been a strong eiarty at court pressing for his expul- sion, oia the ground that he did more .....thamlayunsettling people'sminds than all the Nihilists put together. eis the Russian government not only directs what the people are to read, but what they are to think—there is a spiritual as well as a press censorship—it bad some justification from its own point vieiu wishing Tolstoi elsewhere. + x + IN WEST HURON. Immediately that the West Huron election was declared, there came this despatch from Goderich "Major Gray, engineert'in charge of the Public Works Department, is here arranging far the speedy completion of the harbor works, including the dredg- ing to a depth of twenty feet, in ac- cordance with arrangements nrede by the Citizens' Committee with Hon. .1, Israel Tarte. The dredging company has received instructions to commence operations as soon as the ice in the harbour is broken. and to have the work, so far as the channel to tbe elevator is concerned, completed for the opening of navigation." It is a strange cointidence thkt Mr. Tarte should become so active contem. poraneously with the issue of the writ, . But surely this sort of thing will not inuilence the electors in Huron. 11B ZI,EITV411 COUNTY COUNCIL,.

Recorumended that the engineer have the bridge on the boundary. betweeu Huron and Middlesex rebuilt, each county to pay half. With reference to the resolution of tbe township of Usborne, respecting Drought's bridge, recommended that the engineer be in- structed to examine the bridge and to make the necessary changes,unless the sdnae can be safely left over until the June meeting, in such case that he re- port. to the council if any changes are necessary, and the probable cost.

No action ror Good Roads. There is a rumor that a Good Roads bill will be introduced by the Govern- ment at the approaching session of the Ontario Legislature. The object, it is said, will be to assist in the naain- tenance of main leading roads under Government supervision, It is also suggested that the Government lend money to townships for road making as they do for drainage. It is to be hoped that the Government will make it a feature of the bill that only those who are prepared to help themselves will get aid from the Government Massachusetts has been spending large sums of money on road improvement and this is the course pursued there, There is co-operation between the state and the municipalities. It would lead to active log rolling, and would get the Government into anyamount of trouble if the =meg was given out- right to do the work. Either lend the money at it low rate of interest or advance only a per centage of the cost. Self help should be an essential con- dition of sny such legislation. Events have proven that Uncle Sam, when he began the WM' with Spain, was not only not prepared for hostili- ties, but was not in a position to guard his soldiers againt dishonest United States citizens. On reading the over- whelming evidence of the grossest cor- ruption in furnishing supplies for the army, one can but wonder if there ere honest men enough in the States to preserve the country from the fate of Sodom. General Miles reports that the evideece is indisputable that the beef. , furnished was embalmed with chemicals to preserve it, and that the canned roast beef was the pulp left after boiling the extract out of it. Beef extract is the substance obtaiued froin boiling andtreating beef in the proportion of one pound from four or live pounds of prime beef. This beef pulp was canned and labelled cat- ned roast beef. The soldiers declared that the tanned beef was nauseating, and if eaten could not be kept on the stomach. Ca,n it,be possible that there Were not inspectois and officers honest arid intelligent enough to detect such gross feratds and abuses in the British armee Uncle Sam, betWeert purifying himeelf ancl organizing on a satisfac- tory basis hie vast newly -acquired possessions, vrill have his hands fun.

The ratepayers ofOrillia have passed hy-law to raise $75,000 to instal an electric plant at Ragged. Rapids, on the River Severn, and transmit the current, nineteen miles, to the town. According to tbe estimates, the town will then have the cheapest, power and light in Canada. W. Higgs, aged 21 years, Grand Trune brakeman at Lindsay for the past two or three years, was killed on Friday while coupling cars. The acci- dent was not evitnessed by any one, but it is supposed that Higgs slipped while coupling the engine to it freig,h car, and the tender passed over his body. Deathewas instantaneous. Higgs was unmarried. RATIVY&Ck IMPROVOMONT.

Loan companies, trust corporations and insurance companies are said to be marked by the Ontario Government As the objects of the new tales to be itn- posed, In Ontario the dislike to get- ting itt the mass of the people whose votes make new taxes necessary, that is noted else where, has full strength. It is the man of enterprise whose wealth the provincial solons love to levy on. Sir Charles Tupper has been actively engaged during the last few clays in consulting the leading Conservatives of Montreal, and in xnaking arrange- ments far the organization of the party for the next campaign. He has formed the tincletts of what promises to be a. very complete and efficient or- ganization there, Not for many years has the outlook of the Conservative party Leen so bright, and we feel assured ths members of the party, rn the le ders down, will enter int usittense that the council of Middlesex had passed it resolution at the December meeting, to rebuild the bridge over Mud Creek on county boundary, be- tween Stephen and McGillivray, and asked this county to take action in the 'natter, each county to pay half the cost. The bridge is an old wooden stracture, and should be rebuilt. The recent freshet has caused some damage to county bridges. At Exeterit carried away one of Mae wings from the north abutment. He had exa.tnined the dam- age, and considered that it should be repaired as soon as possible, and, in consequence, had arranged with L. Hardy to build a wing wall at once. The Baytielcl bridge has also received some damage. The ice flow broke some of the piles used as a protection to the piers. He is arranging- to have the damage repaired as soon as pos- sible. Some of the other county bridges have beenelaniaged in a sligat- er degree. Ile recommended that some flooring be contracted for, as it will be required for next summer. The orders - issued during 1808 amounted to $6,- 511.81.

The epidemic a lagrippe which has swept over Canada like a scourge this winter, has left thousands of weak and despairing sufferers in all parts of the land.. Grippe is a treacherous disease. You think yon are cured, yet the slightest cold brings on a relapse. Its victims are left in at weakened condi- tion and fall an easy prey to its mani- fold complications. The blood is left impure and impoverished; the nerves shattered, and heart trouble and nerv ous prostration are too often the result. The following statement made by Mr. Daniel Olossey, a well known farmer living near West Brome, Que., indicates the ravages made by the after effects of this scourge. Mr. Clossey says :—"Soine five years ago had an attack of la grippe. The ear- lier symptoms passed away, yet I con- tinued to fail in health, a,nd suffered intense pain in my head. I was sub- ject to attacks of diaeiness, and. unless I would grasp something would fall. I gradually grew so weak as to be unable to do any work. My legs and feet were as cold as ice even in the summer months. 'If I attempted the least exer- tion my heart would beat violently. For three yeers I was in this helpless condition, and although during that time I was attended by three different doctors, their treatment produced not the slightest benefib. At this tinae I read the statement of one who had suf- fered from similar trouble, who was cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to try them. The result was simply marvellous. A dozen boxes did what three years of expensive medical treatment'failed to, accomplish --restored me to full health and vigor, and I tun again able to do my work about tbe farm. 1 honestly believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life and I am glad to make this statement for the benefit it may being to others. After an attack of la grippe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the only medi- cine that can promptly restore you to health. They drive every trace of the poisonous germs front the systern,build up and enrich the blood and. strengthen the nerves.

MOVED I The permanent cure after per- manent mire that is being published week by week has placed Burdock Blood Bitters fax above all other remedies in the estimation of the sick and suffering. Even the severest and most chro- nic diseases that other remedies fail to relieve yield to the blood purifying, blood enriching proper-, ties of B.B.E. Salt Rheum or Eczema—that, most stubborn of skin diseases, which causes such torture and is so difficult to cure with ordinary reme- dies—cannot withstand B. B. B.'s healing, soothing power. The case of Mrs. Jas. Sanderson, Emerson, Man., shows how effec— tive B.B.B. is in curing Salt Rheum at its worst, and curing it to stay cured. This is what she wrote; "Burdock Blood Bitters cured me of a- bed attack of Salt Rheum three years ago. It was so severe that my finger nails came off. I can truly say that I know of no. more valuable medicine in the world than B.B.B. It cured me completely and permanently, as I have neverhad a touch of Salt Rheum since." Sale Register.
