When they go to other lands, they are noted for being progres- sive and for their integrity, Albert J. Wallace, who was born near Elora, has been elected Governor of the State of California. * ** —E. N. Lewis, 14I.P, for West Huron, keeps quietly busy. This ses- sion, he has introduced two Bi119. One of then proposes to make the ac- ceptance of secret comtnissions a c inal offence. The other is aimed at foreigners, who are too free with dangerous weapons, and if passed will snake it possible to deport immi- grants within four years of their land- ing in Canada, if found guilty of carrying offensive weapons. * * * —Hon, J. Duff, minister of Agri- culture for Ontario, voiced the senti- ments of many Canadians recently, when he said :— "We are great in Canada to- day, because of the "Canada for Canadians." policy. If the Ameri- cana want reciprocity let them take down their tariff bars from 42 to 27 per cent., and then we will talk to them. I am opposed to reciprocity. Let us hew out our own destiny and let the Ameri- cans do the same." Two of the members of the Dominion Cabinet are now in Washington on a mission looking towards reciprocity. At time of writing there does not ap- pear to be touch prospect of success. Some politicians on both sides of the line appear to be anxious for some ar- rangement of the kind. It would no doubt help to boom their respective parties... With some of them that is the principal thing, and the interests of the people secondary. * * * —More and more the fact is forcing itself on public notice, that consump- tion, or the white plague as it is call- ed, is carrying away far too many victims every year. In Canada alone. this dread' disease is responsible for twelve thousand deaths, or one- seventh of all the deaths. It is alarm- ing to hear from scientific sources that one in every three deaths between the ages of 10" and 45, is due to consump- tion, especially when it is now ac- knowledged by medical men, that consumption is a communicable, pre- ventable and curable disease, Cana - diens have not yet awakened in earn- est to fight this terrible scourge, which science and experience tell us can be conquered. This disease causes the death of one 'Canadian citizen every, hour during the day, and one every half hour during the night, and at an age when they are most useful to their families and the community. Is it not time to put forth every effort to lessen this drain on our population? * * * DEATH HAS BEEN BUSY, INFANT DAilttii'VElt DIED, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Finlay of Luck - now {formerly of Wingham) mourn the death on Jan. 1311, of their young. est daughter, Catherine Marguerite Alma, aged six months, A, Tsang Sort, On Thursday, Jan. 12th, bereave* went carne to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Lediet, taking from them one of their twin sons, John D'Arcy, agedtwo years, two months.. MRS I Ltrira. CA/WM-ML. Bereavement has again brought sor- row to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McGee of the first line of Morris. On Friday, 13th inst., their daughter, Mrs. Maria Campbell, passed away, after several months' illness, aged 35. Besides her parents, she leaves to mourn her demise, one brother, Jas. ; four sisters—Mrs. Etlacott of Wing - ham, Mrs. Mort. Smith of Wisconsin, Mrs, Hilliard of Rochester, N.Y., and Miss May, at home. Deceased was a member of the Methodist Church. On Sunday the remains were laid to rest in Wingham cemetery, Rev. Dr. Rutledge couducting the service. The bereaved family are sincerely grateful to their friends for many kindnesses shown during the illness of the de- ceased. —There are in the Canadian Senate at present 87 tnenibers. Of these Ontario has 24, Quebec 21, Nova Scotia 10, New Brunswick 10, Prince Edward Island 4, British Columbia 3, Manitoba 4, Saskatchewan 4, Alberta 4. Now comes the report that Sir Wilfrid Laurier intends to increase the number of Senators. Surely, with the feeling abroad regarding the Senate, no government can seriously contemplate such a step. There are enough members there now, for the Little work they do. "Reform of the Senate" was one of the planks of the present Government, but the only "reforms" noticeable so far, are—the increase of the indemnity and the appointment of Liberals as the Tories die off. As now constituted, the Senate is overwhelmingly Liberal. The ]Ion. Premier could not make a i' more popular move ere his political career closes, than to so reform the Senate that it would be non-partisan, or else take some steps towards abol- ishing the thing altogether, and Savo the country a vast amount of money every year. In any ease, an increase should be avoided if possible. It ought to be within the range of possibility to really reform the upper chamber, and intake it both useful and popular. MAITL.AND - PRESBYTERY, Mae. ELLroTT. Mrs. Eli Elliott, a highly respected lady resident of Turnberry died on Tuesday evening, leaving several homes filled with mourning and sad- ness.

Skates put on free. ----W. T. Greer. 0: t •Two Months. A chap named Howard wandered into town last week and registered unsuspected at the Brunswick. Ile seems to have taken pleasure in operating the light fingered game around hotels, and cash was missed from the National, where he was found meandering through the rooms. It is said too, that his presence was not desired at the Dinsley House, and it is likely that he was the fellow who did some cash stealing at the Bruns- wick last winter. He was arrested by Constable Allen, but the charge of theft could not be substantiated. However. he was given free lodgings and board at the jail in Goderich for two months for :Teepees, Ile pleaded his own case, had "thirty cents" in his pocket when arraigned, and doubt- less felt like "thirty cents" when sent down for two monthe. The castle at Goderich is the best place for him, and steady hard labor with the snow - shovel in the county town might improve his appetite, if such was really necessary. An Unfortunate Boy. The Ripley Express reports an Eng - Usti boy named Norman, employed by, Malcolm Matheson, had one of his legs broken afewmonths ago. On Wed- nesday We -nesday the first time he had walked since the accident be slipped on the floor of the house and, again broke his leg in nearly the same place.

V On Saturday Iasi, Wm, Armstrong, whose home is said to be near Auburn, fell from the roof of the Western Canada Flour Mille in Goderich. He was engaged with others on the roof of the building, which was very slip- pery. and was not accustomed to working at such a height. He slipped and fell to the ground, a distance of 130 feet, and strange to say, when picked up was conscious, and spoke frequently while on his way to the hospital. His left arm was fractured and he had several minor injuries, but the 130 -foot fall seemed to have done him no greater harm and his physi- cians report him as having excellent chance of recovery. The wonder is that he was not instantly killed. i and besides iedt was heart three times, , his bereaved partner, he leaves three eons—George of Vancouver, Charles and Edgar of Seattle; also three daughters—Mrs. Hamilton of Seattle, Mrs, Walker of Gorrie, and Mrs. War- ren of North Augusta, The funeral will take place on Thursday to the Winghatn cemetery.
