Com Tom Greenway was such a
deadly enemy to the V. i. R, that he
eeeins to have given that corperation
everything except the binges on the
treaeury atter.
The+ordinnry expenditure a the De-
latinien for the last fiscal year was
005,590. We never expended So much
before. In the last Conservative year
tbe tignre was 836,019,132; there is thus
increatee of $03S. Besides the
ordinary expenditures, there has been
aU extraordinary eapital expenditure
that is to say, an outlay which is
met by borrowed money or out of sine
tilos taxation. The Government
leeted taxes,tett,$17,749 more than was
memory to pity running expenses,
gold applied ttus sum, together with
$2,317,21S borrowed, to the °capital'
Services. Thus the total outlays were
$10,elf.te, and the net result is an a1
ton dS3,317,047 to the public debt,

coutractor guarantees the interest on
the whole Lesue of bonds,. plus one per

The law has been enforceil against
those who bribed on behalf of the Con -
sex vative candidate in South Ontario,
but in the 'West Elgin case where dep-
uter-returning offieers were personated,
wheee votes were stolen and other
crimes committed in the interests of
the candidates of the Liberal party,
the criminals were allowed to go tin -
punished, and no real effort made to
have the law enforced against the of-
fenders eotne of whom were Go-ern-
inent ftffiia1s. No one will say that
the epending of inonev is as bad as the
criminal acts practiced in the Liberal
cause in West Elgin. Let the Govern-
ment move in all these eases. Let it
punish Grit and Tory alike, if it is in
earritat. The election exposuree in
on. John Dryden's case should be
owed up, and the West Elgin die -
gr ces investigated. But the latter
had been made impossible to a large
eatent by the tinse that has been al-
lowed to elapse by the Government,
and the destruction of the ballots
-which were the strong evidence. Let
the law move, and let it strike all
alike.
.A. war correspondent in an Amer-
ican contemporary in reviewing
the present situation of the war
and looking into the future
asks : "Is it all worth while ?" He sug-
gests that England should give up the
job as not worth the terrible cost •of
pushing it, as Gladstone- did in 1881;
that the wisest course, the truest states-
manship would be to repeat in 1900 the
"sagacious" settlement of the Boer
'ear made by the "peace at any price"
government in 1881. 'Peace at any
price" in 1881, the short-sighted policy
of the greatest of England's home
statesmen, is costing the Empire a
terrible price mow. When British
blood hadto be the purchase price of
civil equality for the Briton with the
Boer, which Gladstone either did not
or wished not to foresee, it would have
been comparatively of little cost to
have done at the present time. The
writer farther Says that "no glory can
come to England from success and no
etihancernent of power." We are
fighting neither for glory or ower;p
we are going to conquer the Boers as a
matter of necessity; because Jan won t
give to John same privileges as Jan
enjoys himself, and which John has a
right to possese. Whatever the cost
• of doing so rnay be is no longer thought
of,, The task of settling the South Af-
rican difficulty no longer rests with
imperial statesman, but with the peo-
ple of the Empire,

parts of the body. We believe the
reason for the great benefit which so
many people derive from Hood's Sae-
saparela lies in the fact that this med-
icine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. It restores the func-
tions of those organs which couvevt
fond into nourishment that gives
strength to nerves and muscles, It
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rhetun, boils, sores, pimples and erup-
tions, catarrh, rheumatism and all dis-
eases that have their cwigin in impure
blood.
Danger
signals!
Do you take cold with
every change in the
weather? Does your throat
feel raw? And do sharp
pains dart through your
chest?
, Don't you know these are
danger signals which point
to pneumonia, bronchitis, or
consumption itself?
If you are ailing and have
lost flesh lately, they are
certainly danger signals. The
question for you to decide is,
“Itlave I the vitality to throw
off these diseases?"
Don't wait to try SCOTT'S
EMULSION "as a last re-
sort." There is no remedy
equal to it for fortifying the
system. Prevention is easy.
Scott's
m ulsion
prevents consumption and
hosts of other diseases which
attack the weak and those
0 with poor blood.
e-• SCOTT'S EMULSION is
(t) the one standard remedy for
Inflamed throats and lungs,

. sumption. It is a food media
eine of remarkable power. ,A
