The statistics recently issued by the treasury department at Washington show a continued increase in Araeri- •can exports to Canada. In nearly all aencles, exports to Canada have in- creased steadily during the two years in winds the new. Canadian tariff has /seen in operation. Of agricultural im- plements, $291,107 worth was sent to Canada in the ten months of 1897, prior to- the enactment of the law in question. In the ten months of the fiscal year, 1899, during which time full twentaeliye per cent. reduction on British goods was in operation, the value of agricultural implements tak- en by Canada was increased to $1,008,- 070. Total exports to Canada, in the ten months just ended amount in val- ne to $73,052,819, against $06,330,872 in the corresponding months of 1898, and. $a2,831, '84 of 1897. The iusports . from Canada, instead of showing a steady gain, show a, steady reduction. During ten months in 1897 the imports anicemted. to 30,060,674;$26,00%200 dur- • ing ten months iia 1898, and $25,550,538 in alike period of the present fiscal year. Ottawa is happy. Finance Minister Fielding has asked for a special an- nual grant, of $60,000 for twenty years "for the purpose of iraproving and beautifying the city of Ottawa by the •acquisition, maintenance and im- provement of the streets and thor- oughfares in tbe said city." This is said to be a folfilment of the Prem- ier's promise to make Ottawa "the Washington of the North." The grant is in addition to other votes now regularly made. Major's Hill, the one large park in Ottawa is al- ready maintained by the Dominion. Last year the_ Federal treasury con- tributed about $20,000 towards main- tenance of the publie streets and bridges of Ottawa, while something over $70110 was expended on the park and $15,000 was paid to the city water department. An additional $00,000 will give the people of Ottawa better etreets and finer parks than any other • • ; t city or Canada without, east to thorn selves, It is not proposed to hand this $00,000 a year to the City Government e hut to have the money expended by commissioners appointecl by the Do- minion Government. SOME CROOKED WORK. In the trial of the petition against the return of Donald Macnish, at St. Thomas, the most barefaced corrup- tion. bribery end irregularities were not merely shown, but openly admit ted by Mr. Macnish to have prevailed. There was evidently a conspiracy to steal the seat for the Hardy candi- date at all hazards, Macnish signed a paper in which he declared that a large number of persons were special- ly sent into the constituency by men working for him to take part on his behalf, who used fraud talent and cor- rupt means to secure his election ; that several persons acted illegally and without authorityas deputy re- turning officers; that irregularities in voting and counting the ballots had taken place ea maty polling places ; that large numbers of persons were broughtinto the riding to personate honest voters, and did personate quali- fied voters, and voted for him ; that large numbers of ballots cast for the Cloeservatiye candidate had been ne- fariously and cor•reptay manipulated, etc. This paper was presented to the coml, with the slew to stop develop- ments, lint the judges would not yoid the election svithoet sworn evidence, and Sheriff Brown, the retureing of - icer, Was called on, who on Oath ad- mitted all these things, and said be had appointed peesoes 'Whom be did not kilow as returning officers, and who acted under the assmneci names of residents; these he had appointed ,oxi the requisition of IVIaceishithat he bad aecepted the return of the ballot hexes by other persons, without Meeting thein, etc. The judges void- ed. the election with costs against Maariish and Sheriff Brown. It is not the duty of a sheriff to act as a returning officer, thoegli he is inria.hly called upon to do so by the terio Goevrnnent. Accordingly if triff Brown et West Elgin was dela- in his (lake; as a returning of - neer as he was to a very remarkable extent, Still he edulal not be _complain- ed of ae,sheriff, But Mr. Brown wbile A. sheriff, bee acted the part of a. parti- di di za.n of the most manounce sus n direet violation to the resolution of Parliament. This being the case, the Government should ask l‘ir. Brown to hand. in his resignation. Hon, A. S. Hardy, is Premier of this proyince, and he is also ,Attor- ney-Geueral. As Premier he frequent- ly deplores corruptiou„A.s Attorney - General he has the power to bavesti- gate, and if he is sincere he should investigate this matter to the very bottom, and shield no friends and spare no foe. Or is he still to be re- garded as a wicked partner? The present Parliament in Ontario is certainly one of terror for the On- tario Administratien. The first ses- sion saw a majority a but six.. In the second session. there was a ma- jority of 11, Now the Government has a majority of nine, perhaps only eight, with a cbance of losing two or three seats. In addition to this small majerity it must be added that there are members who cannot be twisted most implicitly. The Latest News The condition of Police Magistrate O'Gara, of Ottawa, is unchanged.

More cases of sick headache, bilious- ness, constipation, can be cured in less time, with less medicine, and for less money, by using Carter's Little Liyer Pills, than by any other means. The street railway strike in Cleve- land, which ins been on for ten or twelve days, was happily terminated - on Saturday night by mutual agree- ment, and the cars resumed running Monday. There is a movement on foot by one or more capitalists to establish a large up-to-date hotel in Berlin, though as yet only meagre information can be had of the details of the proposed scheme. The Scott Act is to be repealed in Bronse County. The voting on this issue on Tuesday resulted in a ma- jority of 540 for repeal. The votes polled was several hundreds larger than on the occasion of the two pre- vious votes and exceeded the prohibi- tion plebiscite vote by nearly a thous- and. Many friends throughout the Conn - try will regret to hear of the death of Mr. John Austin Dillon, eldest son of Mr. Maurice J. Dillon, of the City hotel Stratford. He had been ill for sonae time and bis demise was not un- expected. He was cut off in the mettle of his manhood, being only in his twenty-third year. Caterpillars are doing most serious injury throughout the Richelieu Val- ley district, The question. is suggest- ed, whether this is not a consequence of the destructio-n of birds? Some years ago the sparrows in an English town were nearly all killed one win- ter, the result being that in the fol- lowing summer gardens in the town suffered from a plague of insects. A. Chatham township man has dis- covered a new potato bug which in his activity discounts the old one. The bug is of a bluish color and has blis- tering properties similar to the Span- ish fly. The old fashioned potato bug is scarce this year, but these fellows are livelier, and do more damage. An expert says they are the genuine article as potato pests and. is leoking up their history. The inorial remains of Mr. Charles Winfield Davis, late proprietor of the Tecumseh House London were in- terred on Sunday last at Philadel- phia, Pa., whitber they were taken from Buffalo, accompanied by Mrs. Davis and Dr. Geo. Wilion, the fam- ily physician. The death of Mr. Davis is the subject of deep regret amongst a very wide circle ofi friends not only in London, but all over Western °tir- ade, and in Detroit and. Buffalo, where he was held in esteem for his amiable and genial qualities. The executive committee of the Western Fair Board, London, have appointed a successor to the retiring secretary, Mr. Thos. A. Browne. -:M?. John A. Nelles was the unanimous choice after a number of ballots had been taken. The new secretary of the Western Fair Association will be gen- erally regarded as a wise choice. Mr. Welles has had an experience which serye him in good stead. He has been secretary to the Board of Trade for a long term and. was also secretary of the London Cheese Board. Five hundred farmers took in the excersion of the North Middlesex Farmers' Institute, held to the State Agricultural Clollege at Lansing, Mich., Thursday htsb. They were accom- panied by Hon.

Anthony, one of the American delegates, detailed the progress of the movement in Aracrioa, and the announcement that a paper would be read in behalf of an American woman's society' opposing female franohise was met by a storm of hisses. Mrs. Sewall protested against this in- tolerance, pointing out that no one was obliged to remain, but that it Was their duty, if present, to listen courteously to all sneakers. The paper Was then read, mutetuated by ironical oheers and derisive laughter. It was written by Mrs. Frances Scott of Massachusetts. In the professional section Madame Antoinette Stirling created some excite- ment by declaring with much emotion that she thought the speakers were too hard on the men, and adding that women only realized the full value of a husband when the latter was lost. Factories in Ontario. In the legislative seetion Mrs. Kelly. read a paper on the condition of tenement labor in New York, and Mrs. Harty de- scribed the operations of the Factory and Shop Aots in Ontario and Quebec. Miss Octavia Bates of Detroit deplored the fact that the profession of barrister was not open to women. Yet women, she pointed out, were the natural confidants of their sisters. In America, the speaker continued, medicine and the church were open to women, but public opinion, she claimed, was not sufficiently advanced to favor women lawyers, though the law colleges were open to both sexes, and many women, like Miss Helen Gould, who desired to manage their own estates, qualified. There was great need of the development of the public) conscience, and women. with knowledge of the law would give the feminine side of marriage and divorce, "now only treated from man's standpoint." • The Prisons Section. The Duchess of Bedford presided at the meeting of the prisons and reformatories section, where Mrs. Johnson of Washing- ton described the success of women's re- formatories in Massachusetts, advocating a system of trades whereby women might regain their self-respect.

New York, June 28. -An evening paper publishes the following from its Washington correspondent: "The press censorship at Manila is attracting a good deal of attention, not less at Washington than in other parts of the United • States. "General Otis is carrying things, in respect to newspaper correspondence, witb a higher hand than any other officer has ventured to in recent years. He doos not content himself with forbidding the transniission of certain news by cable from Manila, but goes to the extreme length of saying what shall and what shall not be mailed, under" envelope and seal. He has ev.arned the correspondents, also, that any one of them who tries to circumvent his vigilance by sending objectionable matter over for transmis- sion from Hongkong will be treated as if the offence were committed in Manila and might as well pack his trunk fax home." • ARTILLERY SCHOOL.

Followed by St. Vit- us' Dance in a Severe Form -Her Parents Thought She Could Not Re- cover. WMcKay, Esq., a well known and much respected farmer and mill man at Clifford, Lunenburg C/o., N. S., relates the following wonderful cure effected in bis family by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills:-‘ About three years ago my little daughter Ella, then a child of ten years, was attacked with acute rheumatism. It was a terribly bad case; for over a month she was confined to her bed, and during most of the time was latterly helpless, being unable to turn in bed, or in fact to move at all without help. She could not eyen hold anything in her band. All power or use of her limbs had en- tirely gone and the pain she suffered was fearful. By constant attention after a month or so she began to gain a little strength, and after a while im- proved enough to be taken out of bed and eyen walked around a bit after a fashion by means of a support. But now she was seized with a worse ail- ment than the rheematism. Her ner- vous system gave way, appeared completely shattered: She shook vio- lently all the time would tumble down in trying to vnak. In attempt- ing to drink from a cup her hand shook so as to spill the contents all over herself. She was a pitiable ob- ject. The doctors were called to her again and said she had St. Vitus' dance in the worst form. She took the medicine prescribed and follovved the instructions of her physician for some time, but without apparent bene- fit. She wasted away almost to a skeleton and we gave her up for lost. About this time I read in a paper an account of a great cure of nervousness effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and resolved to try them. I bought six boxes and the little girl began using them. The good effects of the first box were smite apparent and when four, boxes were 'used, she, seemed so much improvect that the pills were discontinued. She kept on improving anti after a fesv weeks was as well as ever. ,We were told that the cure would not last, that it was only some powerful ingredient in the pills which was deceiving us and that after a time the child would be worse than ever. All this has proved false, fax now nearly three years she has had unbroken good health, nerves as strong as they are reticle, and stands school work and household work as well as a mature person.
