One of then proposes to make the ac-

dangerous weapons, and if passed

—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?

—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

homes filled with mourning and sad-
ness. The deceased lady passed

There passed away on Tuesday
evening, one of the earliest residents
of Wingham, Mr. George 13. Green,
who for nearly fifty years has been
identified with the business interests
of this town. Mr. Green was out es
usual on Thgrsda.y last, but later took
i11 with obstruction of the bowels, and
on the 17th inst. crossed death's river.
Deceased was born in the north of
Ireland, and emigrated to Canada in
1852, and Came to Wingham from
n
Leeds county, Ontario, t , in 1802, or
nearly forty-nine years ago. He was
a typical Irishman, good-natured, tut'
of life and quirk at repartee. In the'.
sixties, he kept a general store iii
lower town, and then as the business
centre changed to upper town, he re-
moved here, where he has sinee been
quietly plodding ale
ng, confining
bis
attention to the shoe trade. Mr.
Green was astrong Conservative, a management is to be found in the

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.

A Valuable Bulletin.
A pamphlet of 112 pages on "Beef

the Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa. It treats of all the phases,

and every farmer should have one.
You can have one by addressing 3, G,
Rutherford, Live stock Commissioner,
Ottawa. The publication of the in-
formation contained with the views of
experienced feeders, and in many
cases of the methods that they have
found most successful, should be of
value to all interested in beef cattle.

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-

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-

tained the crowd with music. The

Fire Alarm,
Oa Wednesday as we were closing
our forms. fire broke out in the second
story of Lloyd Awdo's flour and feed
store. There was a hot time for a
while, as willing hands threw out
blazing piles of empty bags, which
heed caught fire from the stove pipe.
Water was not turned on, as it would
have damaged the stock, and when
the burning material was thrown out
a few pails of water did the rest. It
was a very close call, and at night
would have been disastrous.
