In 1892, • the time of the Liberal party's greatest weakness, and the Conservative party's greatest strength Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Opposition polled more votes in West Huron, outside the towns of Godexich and Clinton, than Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Government poll- ed. in the same townships on Tuesday. Goderich town was bribed wholesale by the harbour works and retail by spot bash payment to the "floaters." • Liberal gains in Goderich were so much merchandise bought and paid for. Liberal gains in -Clinton were • tributes to the personal strength of the candidate, and the promise of a new post office, and. the Conservatives may be able to get some comfort from a close analysis of the losses in the Libeial townships. — Telegram (Lib- eral.) ÷ • x The fiction about the Ontario sur- plus is exposed in the genteelest fash- ion, but none the less effective, by Prof. Goldwin Smith in the Weekly • Sun, Toronto. Writing as "Bystancl-. er," he observes "If you. tell a financier of any country but Ontario that the government has a surplus, he • will take you to mean that there is an excess of revenue oyer expenditure for the current year, and he will draw tbe natural inference that the country is flourishingeunder a wise and economi- cal government. Tell bine that what you mean is, not that there is an excess of revenue over expenditure, but that the country has assets which being gdded to the revenue for the year, • would make a surplus, and. be -will ex- press his surprise at the revelation. Confess to him that, instead of an ex- cess t,f income over expenditure, there is a deficiency which compels you to impose new taxes, and he will express his surprise in the most unmeasured terms. A Government may have a • right to its own financial vocabulary, and ma.y be warranted under its spec- ial system of bookkeeping in setting • down as a surplus that which in com- mon parlance is nothing of the kind. But then it must be careful to explain Its phraseology, and not by a peculiar „ use of language take to itself credit for that which does not exist." Tile Latest News.

Turnbull, of thelegal firm of Turnbull & Barrie, and late police magistrate for Galt, was Saturday notified of his appointment as post- master of Galt, at a salary of $1,800, to take effect March 1. The office be- came vacant several months ago through the death' of the late Thos. Cowan. Oyer four months ago the two-year- old son of Mr. Drouillardeof Windsor, drank a cup of concentrated. lye,which was left, on the kitchen table. The child suffered excruciating agony, but did not die. Since that several opera- tions have been performed in the endeavor to save the child's life, but all proved unavailing, after 120 days' great suffering. A Washington despatch. of Saturday morning says :—A number of cans of malodorous tinned roast beef exploded. Friday afternoon in the Lemon build- ing, which the court of inquiry is hold- ing its session The explosion and the nauseating effluvia troro the bursted cans caused the instant flight from the building of a large number of Govern- ment clerks, including a number of ladies employed there. Two Ingersoll hotels—the Atlantic and Daly—were burglarized Saturday night. From the former a quantity of cigars' were stolen, and from the latter $9 was taken from the till. Chief Crawford arrested Neil Mines on suspicion on Sunday night, and Mon- day the prisioner pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing froni the Daly House, and. was sentenced to six months in the Central Prison. . IN NEW BRUNSWICK. New Brunswick consists to a consid- erable extent el the Intercolonial rail- way. The Intercolonial railway con- sists at present considerably of Hon - lir. Blair. These facts doubtless have something to do with the fact that New Brunswick out of 44 representa- tives elected 40 of the kind Mr. Blair likes. Furthermore, in New Brunswick the local government supervision of roads, bridges and municipal affairs is more extensive and detailed than in most provinces. This doubtless contributed to the good fortunes of the candidates of the kind recommended by Mr. Em- merson, the Liberal Premier. Mr. Blair and Mr. Enmaerson made a great team ander the circumstances. It inigeit be that if there were more Intercolonial or a sufficient number of railways like the Canada Eastern for Mr. Blair to buy in New Brunswick, the province could elect 44 Liberals to to Legislature out of 44 candidates. Edmonton Bulletin: The much pet- ted Doulthobors have been approached on the subject of their children learn- ing English. at appears that they are averse to being taught by any whoare beieg paid for tbe work, a clever ori- ental way of expressing the idea that they do not want to learn English at all. No doubt it would tend to break up their exclusivenese. As a special favor they will allow a, few of their children to attend school. 'Ms Lordship the Bishop of Huron visited 011oton last Sunday and large congregations asseroMed in St, Paul's church- at, both services, and were deeply impressed with the serviees. In the motning the rector presented 27 baptized nreinbers of the church, to reeeive the apostolic, rite of eoriiirina- Lion from heel who is a secceesor to the aposeles, Mid to be admitted into full privileges of the allude.

Fanny Laird, relict of the late Wm. Storey, died ha McKillop township re- cently aged 88 years suryiving ber husband a couple of weeks. She form- erly resided near Haysville, Wilmot ,township. Au inmate of the Huron House of Refuge, Th.oinas Leathorne by name, was allowed to leave last week, he having secured employment at his trade in Seaforth,the town from which he came. Mr. John *iseman, of Clinton, has disposed of his merchandise and is re- tiring from business. He has not yet decided upon plans for the future but, we hear, thinks somewhal of trying Manitoba. Nine youths from the vicinity of Kintore were before Police Magistrate Morrison, of Ingersoll, the other day on a charge of trespassing. A few nights ago they broke into the school house, and by thelight of a lamp taken from the church near by,they indulged io card playing, etc. The trustees were the complainants, and the cul- prits pleaded guilty, so they were as- sessed $5 each, making $45 in all, of which $18.90 goes into the town treas- ury. James Tucker, the Patron member of the Legislature for West Welling- ton, says that the resolution passed in the House a few sessions ago, which expressed dissatisfaction with civil ser- vants participating in elections, has proved almost ineffective, and provinc- ial officials are working in campaigns without let or hindrance. He has introduced a bill which provides that an official convicted of canvessiug or w orking in provincial elections shall be fined $200 and forfeit office for four years. Isaac Kingswood, who resides evith his family in St. Thomas met with an untimely death in the M. C. R. yards shortly before six o'clock Monday evening. He was eneployed at the car shops, which ai.e situated on the south side of ehe yard, whil e he resided on the north aide, and was proceeding across several of the tracks to where a train was standing. He attempted to crawI under, when the train started, and he was caught by the cruel wheels and horribly mangled. He was about fifty years of age. S. G. Plummer of S. S.

Ashfield, u township in -West Huron, where there is a very large Catholic vote, only gave a Liberal majority on Tuesday of 12 against former majori- ties of nearly two hundred. .Our in- telligent countrymen are beginning to . get their eyes opened. • A. sad. accident happened at the River Hotel, Hayfield, one day last week when a cat viewed a fine piece of meat in the oveneand tempted as cats are it entered the oven, and the cook not noticing the cat closed the door, but when Sohn looked at the oven again he first spied roasted cat. Mr. Oliver Johnson, Clinton, re- ceived a telegram Monday morning stating that his brother-in-law, Mr. William Melburne of Baden, had died suddenly the evening previous. The case is an unusuelly sad one, Mrs. Mel- burne haying died about a year ago, leaying a family of eight children. We have it on the in ost reliable authority that, Mr. McLean,of the Sea - forth Expositor, has been appointed registrar for Huron, in room of Mr. Gibson, deceased, and that the an- nouncement will shortly appear in the Ontario Gazette. We congratulate our confrere on his success.— Mitchell Ad- vocate. There died at her home in Greenway On Friday, February. 17tb,of la grippe, ers.

John Shaw in a manner contrary to la,w. H. D. Smith appeared for the boy's father,who wasthe complainant, and the teacher defended himself. • The evideoce showed that the teacher had used his hands pretty freely and heavily on the borsheacl. The teacher pleaded guilty, but, urged great pro- vocation. A fine was imposed of $3 and costs. The sebool•section is great- ly excited over the case, and, as usual, divided into two factions. • The San Jose scale was first discov- ered by Prof. J. H. Comstock, near San Jose, Cal„ in 1897. It has been found in various pints of the world, and, wbile the Once of its origin has nob yet been ascertained, it, is con- jectured to be japan. Sia years ego it was discovered in the Eastern States, where it was introduced six years be- fore with some infected plum trees from California.

As Will be re- membered, Mr. Monteith was elected by a majority of five over Mr. Moscrip at the general election,' jast a year ago but on a scrutiny cf the ballots was deprived of the seat, the jadge throw- ing out a number of ballots marked for him because they were improperly printed. • Mr. Moscrep was thereupon declered elected, and sat in the House during the brier SeSSiOn Ot last sum- mer. A protest having been entered, Mr. Moscrip resigned the seat, and de- clined a second. nomination.. Much sympathy as expressed upon all sides for Mr. Monteith, mauy respectable Liberals, even, admitting he had not been fairly treated, so that Tries day's result is not to be wondered at. The following are the majorities for each candidate :— Monteith Stock. Place. • (Con) (Lila) St. Marys town.... 46 Mitchell town.. ... 71 Blansbard township 107 Fullerton township 125 Logan township. .. 121 South Easthope townsbip Hibbert township. Downie township. 248 '79 11.3 Totals .470 440 Net majority for Monteith (Con.). 30 THE RESULT IN 1898. • Monteith, Moscrip. 60 129 , St. Marys Blanshard . Downie... Hibbert Fullarton Mitchell Logan South 31 168 440 Majority fo'r Moscrip, Judge Barron's recount had seated Mr. Monteith instead by 5 majority. His count had given Mr. Moscrip 1 less vote in Logan, and Mr. Monteith 2 more in Blanshard, 1 more in Downie, 2 niore in Hibberal more in Fullerton, 2 more in Mitchell, 3 more in Logan, and 1 less in South Easthope. It was the threwing out of the scardal- ous misprinted ballots,which were cast by Conservatives only, ard which Judge Barron bad counted for Mr. Monteith, that gave Mr. Moscrip the seat. • The Liberals chose one whom they re- garded as a stronger candidate, in Mr. Valentine Stock, who has for many years been clerk of the Township of South Easthope, is German origiu, and speaks both English and German fluently, He -VMS for years a farmer, but has long carried on a large mer- cantile business in the village of Tavis- stock. He was in every way the strongest candidate they could have put in the•field. Mr. Monteitles victory over such an opponent is a great per- eonal triumph. But it is mere. It says mach ferhis ability and popularity to have aanduishati an opponent pos- sessing so Many elements of strength as Mr. Stock does, but it speaks elo- quently also of the change that has came over the public mind of Ontario in regard to the conduct of affairs by • the Government at Toronto. The full strength of both the Toronto and Ottawa Governments was thrown into the scale againt Mr. Monteith. As in West Huron', the determination was shown to win at all hazards. 100 On Monday, Feb. 13th, a number of the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Williain 3./IcAsh, Varna, assembled at their home to celebrate their golden wed- ding. They presented Mr. McAsh with a fine fur coat and a handsome gold -headed cane, and to Mrs. McAsh ha,ndsorne fur cape and beautiful rock- ing chair.

Are Usually the Result of Imperfect Working of the Kidneys—These can Only be Restored to Their Normal Condition by a Fair Use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. Mr. Albert Mintie, of Woodstock, Ont:; now engaged in the insurance business,is well known in that city and surrounding country. Some three years ago Mr. Mintie was living. at South River, Parry Sound District, and while there was attacked with severe pains an the back. At first he paid but little attention to them. thinking tbat the trouble would pass away, but as it did toe be consulted'a local pliysician, and was told that his kidneys were affected.. Medicine was prescribed but beyond a trifling alleviation of the pain it had no effect. In addition Co the pain in the back Mr. Mintie was troubled with headaches and a feeling of lassitude. He was forced to quit work, and while in this condition, weak and despoedent, he decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He purchased abali dozen boxes and was not disappointed kvith the re- sult. Before they were all used Mr. Mintie was feeling almost as well as ever he had done. The pain in bis back had almost disappeared, the head- aches were gone, and he felt greatly improved in strength. Two Mere bo xes completed the cure, and be returned to work hale and hearty as ever. Mr. Mintie asserts that his return to health is due entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and he still occasionally uses ae box if he feels in any way "oat of sorts." ' The kidneys, like other organs of the body are dependant upon riche vied blood. and strong nerves for healthy action, and it, is because Dr. Williams' Fink Pills supply these eonditioee that they cure kidney troubles" as well as other ills which have their origin in watery blood, or a shattered nervous system.

To view of the recent discussion re- garaing the low birth-rate of Ontario, the report ou births, marriages and deaths for the year ending December, 1897„. presented to the Legialature is of considerable interest. It .show that the oatural increase of the population has been fair on the average, but this is owing, Dr, Bryce say4, to the low death,rate more than tohigh birth-rate, Owing to this fact the low birth-rate is not so alarming as it otherwise would be,. The seeretary eom ores the birth rate flgures of ()aerie with those of other eountrieS.

On the other band, the death -retie of Cutruno is lower than that of any State known, and to meet any probable criticism of this State - Mena Dr, Bry.ce says that while it is possible for austakes to have occur - ted in the birth-rate, the figure § on which the death -rate ha.Ve beeu found- ed were almost perfect.
