The ford of tate "Geergee" of On-
tario toward a present for . King
George at Itis coronation closed on
Monday last, It is evident that many
regarded the effort in the setae way as
did the Advance, that is as a mistake,
and A movement that should never
have been instituted. The paltry
amount of about $100 from the
"Georges" of Ontat io indicates the
little interest taken is the scheme..

--Reciprocity is pictured in one of
the Toronto daily papers, as a fine-
looking cow. The animal stands with
leer front feet on the Canadian aide,
and her hind part on the American
side of the border. Jack Canuck is
carrying forkfuls of Canadian trade,
which the Reciprocity cow is devour-
ing, Happy and contented looking,
Uncle Sam is milling, and as he draws
an abundance of the milk, he remarks
—"Yep, Jack C;inuck and me have
this cow on shares; he feeds his
half, and I milk mine."
• • •
—With a stalwart Liberal like Dan
McGillicuddy hurling charges of
boodle and graft at a member of the
Dominion Cabinet, before the scent of
the Printing Bureau scandals has well
blown past, a number of other un-
pleasant accompaniments, and the
discouraging collapse of the expected
Reciprocity boom, the outlook for the
Laurier government is none too cheer-
ful. The path of a political party a
long time in power, is not strewn
altogether with roses. Politicians
have to tread on thorns, and- the
approaching election looks rather un-
inviting to more than a score
of M. P's.
•••
—It looks as if .the day was past
when every little hamlet or village
could boast of -having a local paper.
At least four papers in this part of
Ontario have gone out of business
somewhat recently — The Wroxeter
Planet, the Rarriston Tribune, the
Gorrie Vidette, and now the Holstein
Leader. These were not all new
,ventures, for the Vidette and the
Tribune were long established. busi-
nesses. Publishing a newspaperin.
volves persistent labor to build up a
successful business, and necessitates
heavy expense. With alimited field
and keen competition, a popular paper
and paying business are out' of the
question. Besides, the common sense
of the public seems to be manifesting
itself by the eupport of those papers
that have proved themselves worthy
of . existence, and to some extent at
least "fill the bill." It seems to be a
question of the "survival of the
fittest."
••• •
--It has been 'announced that Grits
and Tories are both determined to
pude the Reciprocity contest in the
Dominion Parliament to the "bitter
end," which rosy mean that the party
that gets the worst of it has the
"bitter," while the other chaps get the
"sweets." So far, it does not appear
that there has been much real busi-
ness done, and if both parties feel
equal to the occasion, we see no ob-
jection to turning them out in back-
yard style and let them at it. What
with hot weather,flies
long speeches,
sultry nights, the fever and small-
pox (now in Ottawa) an alt -summer
session ought to be quite interesting,
especially if (as is alleged) a few
scandals are thrown in to give life and
spice. It may however be said, that
as the -Conser a '
v trues realize that the
question is of such importance to the
welfare of Canada, they are justified
in prolonging the fight. Besides, it is
a well-known fact, that 'scores of
Liberals tbroughout the country
are free to acknowledge that the
Government made a great mistake in
meddling with the question at all.
With the Democratic Congress, bent
on thrift reduction, Canada would
have obtained all or more than the
Fielding -Paterson agreement prontl-
Res, without any sacrifice on our part.
Whether thearliamentar struggle
p y gg
now begun will precipitate a general
election is not yet clear, To get right
down to business --is there any real
reason wby the people .interested
should not have an' opportunity of
saying by their ballots, whether they
want Reciprocity or not ? We know
of no such reason, low the agree,

py days and much prosperity.
A Bugging Tragedy.
The Bruce times gives the following
incident that occurred in Walkerton
recently :—,4.. foolish friend, someone
has said, ismore dangerous than a
wise enemy, and Amos Leech, bar-
tender at the Royal hotel, has painfal
proof of the truth of this contention.
A man whom he hadn't seen for
some time was so fervently affection-
ate when he saw Amos last week, that
he rushed up and hugged the bar-
keeper to such purpose, that ho col-
lapsed under the embrace and fell like
a rag against the bar. Afterwards
rallying, Leech continued to experi-
ence the utmost pain, and on eon.
sulting .a physician, learned that he
had nearly been killed with kindness,
as two of bis ribs were found to be
broken directly over his heart.
The County' Fair.
This amusing entertainment was
presented to a Wingham audience on
Friday evening, by Miss Houghton,
assisted by fifty or more performers.
There was a full house, and the audi-
ence frequently greeted those acting
the leading parts with applause.
There were many of the incidents of
the Fair, the motley crowd, the side-
show, refresbnjent stande, and even
the patent medicine vendor. The
entertainment must have involved
considerable work to present so well,
after so short a practice. Neverthe-
less, all are entitled to credit for
suecessfully'%acting their parts. There
being so many taking part, it might
be considered unfair to particularize,
where aIi did well.

Department revises the finding of the
examiners, and no students below the
required standard are to bo passed on
