NOTES AND COMMENTS,
Loudon people are surely slow to be
convinced. Thatcitywill soonbelooked
upon as a desirable spot for criminals
to receive their trial. Emerson, who
shot the theater Manager was made a
hero and naartyr by London citizens.
Now Mariam Brown, the peg -leg
tramp, who has been convicted for the
mime of shooting policeman Toohey,
is held up as a subject for pity, and a
petition is being circulated. for his re-
prieve.

Tho late Registrar of Huron County
passed to his eternal reward some
months ago. The (ace has since been
in charge of assistants who receive a
yearly salary of a few hnnclred don
r WS: ThSre ie as yet no intimation of
an appointment to Ali tile vacancy.
The question a.rises : If the office can
be ran for nearly half a year by
salaried clerks, why appoint a
Registrar at a salary of several thons-
ancl dollars ?

The Postmaster-GeneraI has been
uded by the Prime Minister for his
assistance in procuring penny postage
ross the ocean. It was supposed that
the credit of this measure was due to
Mr. Ilenneker Heaton, who has for
ao many years striven by speeches,
pamphlets, letters to the newspapers
and articles in the leading magazines
to bring it about,but Sir Wilfrid would
have us believe it was Mr. Mulock
whose sudden and powerful endeavors
overcame at one swoop the inertia of
an empire in this matter. While we
ppreciate the penny postage, Mrs
Mulock would fill a want in this see -
time if he were to re-establish the mail
'route between Exeter and Dashwood,
taken off when the Postmaster Gen-
eral commenced his policy of economy.

,•One of the grounds upon which the
Liberals of South Perth base their
protest against the election of Nelson
1onteith, is the issuance of the writ
tiring the sessions of the Legislature,
contrary to the statutes in such cases
made and provided; at the same time
they claim the seat for Mr. Stock.
There is a good deal of inconsistency
this. One funny thing is, the Lib-
er-glealLadall to do with issuing the
writ,
and shrink' hane gone about the
'Ssatter according to laiv."• If they are
noran t of their own laws it is time
hey stepped down and out. The ,rion-
ervatives should not be put to annoy-
tnce and expense for such foolish er-
pre.. Another amusing phase of the
oaern‘ent is that they claim a seat for
fr. Stock in connection with an elec-
*on that was held contrary to law,
hua holding that Mr. Stock is eligible
o occupy • a boneh which it is illegal
r Mr. Monteith to hold. The man-
ers are somewhat muddled.

The Hamilton Spectator is after
other goveranient official with a
arp stick -Mr. Orr, the Ontario sup-
antendene of spraying. Inasmuch
Mr. Orr and his work are somewhat
mem ia Huron, the merits of the
' eee's criticism are of interest here.

lieve that Orr worked every day from
Monday to Satonday the whole 52
weeks of the year, spraying fruit twee

thing is an outrage on its fac-e, and
with a proper system of auditing the

such apparent ateal would be attempt-
ed or allowed.
NOTES
An order -in -council has been issued
to nursery mein under date April 5th,
that their stock shall be fumigated
under the provisions of the recent act
of the Legislature before being offer-
ed for sale, The effect is to put this
industry to great inconvenience in the
height, of the spring trade. But as the
object is to stamp out the San Jose
Scale, all are interested in any reason-
able measure to that end.
Bradstreet's report of business fail-
ures for the first quarter, 1898 and 1899
says :--- Canadian failures statistics
point to the enjoyment of favorable
business conditions by the business
men of the Dominion, the total
her of failures for the quarter being
only 399, and the liabilities only $2,-
970,220, a *tilling off of 23 per cent. •in
number and of as per cent. in liabili-
ties involved from a year ago, while
as compared with 1890 the -number of
failures and the liabilities involved are
• only about one-half as large.
In 1800 Canada imported one and a
half million dollars' worth of hog pro-
ducts anclaexported about one-third of
that amount. Last year the imports
were less than a million, and the ex-
ports over $S,000,000, being but a half
million under the exports of cattle.
There is a tendency all over the
country to multiply pork packing
houses. Bye and bye, the exports of
hog products are expected to far ex-
ceed those of cattle. The market for
properly cured bacon and hams is prac-
tically unlimited, It is a great and
growing industry,
"Tit for tat" is a good axiom in
many cases, and it is one which the
Conservatives of South Perth intend
to apply with some force to their
friends of the Liberal machine in that
riding and at Toronto. At a meeting
of the South. Perth Conservatives'
eX.ecutive held in Stratford, it was de-
cided to at once enter a connter peti-
tion against Mr. Stock. Plenty of
funds for the vigorous pushing of the
protest have been subscribed, and
strong evidence of bribery, etc., has
been secured. In fact, the evidence is
unusually strong, as a gang of strang-
ers who manipulated the Goverzinaent
cash made their headquarters in Mit-
chell.
The extent of the development which
has taken place in hog raising in On-
tario is shown by the market returns
for the first three months of the pre-
sent year, says a Toronto despatch.
The total receipts for the first quarter
will aggregate about 57,000 as compar-
ed with 26,807 for the same period last
year. This is an increase of consider-
ably over 100 per cent. The receipts
for January and February were nearly
treble the receipts for the same months
last year. Partly, apparently, as a re-
sult of the low prices in those months
the receipts for last month will only
he a little over 1,000 above the ship-
ments for the same month last year.
It is probable, too, that the falling off
is in part due to clearing out of avail-
able supplies.
Chatham Planet : A visitor to Chat-
ham this week was J. 0, Johnston of
Dawson City. He left Dawson six
weeks ago for a trip to the east, and
while in this vicinity dropped off here
for a clay or two to see Mr. Trudell
and one or two other old friends.
In adult, with The Planet, Mr. John-
ston said the allegations against the
officials in the Klondike were true
enough.
"Then the miners actually had to
bribe them to get their letters or get
anything else done ?" queried The
Planet. •
"Every time."
"And the charges made are not ex-
ag,geratecl ?"
"Not in the least. Everybody there
knows, but we got used to a great
deal and got so we didn't :mind it
much, but you can't go too far in
talking about official rottenness in
the Yukon. They can't make any
mistake about it."
This is how the relatives of Dr. Mc-
Donald, member for East Huron, fare
at the public crib: -The .Auditor -Gen-
eral's report, just distributed, contains
this item; -"J. R. VcDonald. surgeon,
May 10th to Nov. 13th, 1897, at $100
per month, 5611.07." The recipient of
this sum froni the treastry is a son of
the:menober for East -Huron. Again,
the worthy member secured for his
son-in-law, Dr. Horsey, the job of con-
veying Li flung, Chang across the con-
tinent, the grant for which was $3,000,
" and no questions asked;" and again,
in the auditor's report, appears the
name of the firm of Canon & Sadler,
of which this same zealane Liberal
son-iralaw is a member, in connection
with a dredging contract at Owen
Sound, on which they drew the sum of
513,630 during the year.
It is astonishing how some men can
accumulate so mucb money in a short
life time. Hugh Ryan, the well known
contractor., who died in Toronto in
February last, and: who cornasenced
life a poor boy, leaves an estate of
ne.arly two million dollars. The she -
dale filed for probate shows his estate
in the province of Ontario to atriourit
to $835,322,00, ft, is inveritoried as
follows Book debts and notes, 562,-
800.25; inaneye secered by mortgage,
$270,128,03 ; life insuteence, $7, 1.25 ;
bank stocks arid ether stocks in Ont-
ario, $282,860 ; cash in bank, $154,-
388.46 freehold, $21,000 ; real estate,
$27,202, Besides his Oatario estate he
had property and investrneate in Mani-
toba and the United States to nearly
as large an amount as in Ontario. The
estate will have to Pay betWeen $60,-
000 and $80,000 in $11CODSSIOD dutiee to
the Ontario treaury. A few More

The following from the St. Gather-
ines Daily Standard has reference to a
former well-known resident of Exeter:
"The Standard is pleased to know of
the formation of a new drug company,
known as the .Naumar Medical Co.,
with head office for Ontario ab St.
CatherineS, of which we find Theo.
Sweet,one of our enterprising and well
known druggists, is one of the leading
members. We can therefore bespeak
for thisnew company speedy success,as •
Mr. Sweet has in the past five years
gained the respect and confidence of
the people of St. Catherines and vicin-
AT, and by careful attention to the
wants of the people, and being an hon-
or „graduate of Ontario, Manitoba and
the Northwest Colleges of Pharmacy,
the people can rely on his ability As
a person thoroughly competent in his
business, and he has thereby secured a
good share of the drug trade of this
district, and we feel sure bis present
venture will be a °bTeeter success. The
leading remedies this firm is putting
out are: Anti -Grippe --a guaranteed
cure for LaGrippe, Coughs, Colds, etc.,
and has thus far had a great sale in the
city. Abs Karnanze, a new herb reme-
dy, which is giving entire satisfaction,
with other remedies of a similar good
record.
The annual meetieg of the Canad-
ian Lacrosse Association was held in
Toronto last week. Mr. R. E. Jack-

voted in favor of Mr. Stark, of Stouff-
ville, the other candidate.
The case of George Wells, of South
Easthope, against Samuel and George
Gray, Wm. Brown and Michael Carr-

has been dismissed by Police Magis-

ed to support the charge, the parties
having come to an amicable arrange-
ment. The trouble arose out of a horse
deal in which Mr. Wells claimed he
was defrauded.

SPRING MEDICINE.
It is- absolutely Necessary to Give
Some Attention to the Blood at this
Season.
In the springtime the blood needs
attention. The change of the year
produces in everyone, whether con-
scious of it or not, some little heating
of the blood.
Sense peopleihave pimples, a. little
eczenia,or rritation of the blood;others
feel easily tired and depressed and
ha,ve a poor appetite. A tonic is need-
ed, and the best tonic -the best spring
medicine for man, wornau or child is
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills•for Pale Peo-
ple. These pills do not purge and
weaken like Other medicines. They
make rich, red blood, build up the
nerves and:make weak, depressed and
easily tired people feel cheerful -active
and strong. No other medicine in -the
world has offered such undoubted
proof of merit,ancl what Dr. -Williams'
Pink Pills have done for others they
will do for you if given a fair trial.

Harbor, N. S., says : "I can cheerfully
recommend Dr. Williams' Pink, Pills

EVERY WALK IN LIFE.
Exeter Citizens Appreciate "The little
Conqueror."
Every class of citizens has sick kid-
neys. The busy business man rushing
through life on the rim fails to realize
the constant strain he daily puts upon
the kidneys. The mechanic forced to
assume unnatural positions, stooping
and straining at his work, does not
know that his backache is simple kid-
neyache. The clerk on his feet contin-
ually loaning over a counter or desk;
railroader, conductors, engineers,
street -car men subject to the constant
jarring, all have backache from the
kidneys. Women at their hoasehold
duties, boys and girls at play, ()vertex
the kidneys and give them more work
than they can do. 'This a fortunate
thing the kidneys warn you when in
trouble ; that they cry pot, for help.
Don't neglect a warning. Don't ne-
glect a bad back. A lame, weak or
