,.,HOUSEPAINTS !
When you consider about the painting of yonr bonee
the meet important thing to think of ie, what is the best
quality of paint obtainable ? The best paint to stand
the weather and look fresh for the longest time? There
is only one anewer to this, namaly, that a palet made
with Brandram'e B.B. Genuine Lead, Pure Linseed 01
TRADE MAR IS, and just enough Dryer, must be the beer., as this B. B.
Lead hue fur E.o m n, years been proved superior to all otbere. Snob a paint is
Anchor Liquid House Paint, and it is the only liquid paint made• in Canada with
Braodram'e B. B. Genuine White Lead.
It ie a mistake for yonjto use anything but the very best paint in painting your
home. The coat of putting^on the paint is usually about the same ae the moat of the
paint itself. A cheap paint takes more time to make a reasonably good job with
than a good paint, and dose not last as long, nor look so well. In fact the cheap paint
is the most expensive paint in the end. Make no mistake. Use Anchor Liquid
House Paint. It is a Pure White Lead, Zino and Linseed Oil Paint, and hi as good
as can be made with our choice of the very beet materials. Use it and get the most
satisfaotory results obtainable with paint. Bold by-

The annual meeting of East Huron

reeding of the minntee and the adoption

On motion of Robert McMillan, sem.

by Messrs. Sloan, McMillan, MoDowell,
Murdie, Strachan, Isbisber, Belly, Irwin,
MoLaaghlin, Robinson and the President.
A very hearty weloome was accorded
the popular oaodidate of the riding, Aroh.
Hielop, who addressed a few words to the
large gathering expressive of his thanks
and expectations on May 29th, and he
was followed, in one of the best politioal
speeches delivered in Brussels for many
a day, by the clever, olear headed and
eloquent Minister of Education,—Hon. R.
Haroourt. He spoke for two hours to a
highly pleased, attentive and most en.
thusiaetio audience, Mr. Harcourt's
visit willl do no small amount of good and
will be long remembered. The gathering
broke np with rousing cheers for the
King, Premier and cabinet and the cauda
date. •
Dr. Macdonald, M. P., who was au-
nonneed to be one of the speakers was
unable to be preset owiug to the foot
that the House of Oommons was still in
session and as he is Deputy Speaker he
mould not leave.

Throe years ago the Government decided to

and tslspbons, insurance companies, banks,
Zeo. 8220,000 received last year from them.
The Conservatives say they will repeal this
if elected, The speaker allowed that the Bill
bad not injured the monetary institutions.
Tax is only 1/0 of a mill on be earnings. One
of the most prominent bankers in the coun-
try approves of the Bill. The same is true of
the railways and they have a right to pay
book a small sum out of thousands of dollars
in subsidies. This is good legislation and
should be heartily endorsed by the electors
on May 29111.
No Treasurer of this Province ever crossed
the ocean to negotintea loan, and if money
has to be borrowed it will be only after Mr.
Whitney is Premier, which will be some time
hence.
We have had three Attorney -Generals, Sir
Oliver Mowat, Hon. Mr. Hardy and Hon. Mr.
Gibson. 100,000 miles was attempted to be
taken from this Province but with a akillful,
alert and astute man like Sir Oliver Mowat,
we held the territory. Now Mr. Whitney
finds fault because we dou,t develop New On-
tario fast enough when they did their best to
give this country away, with its timber and
minerals. Our right Heng established we
have gone onto develop this territory. Mr.
Harcourt told of the industrial development
in New Ontario. $110,090 paid out one day for
one month's wages. t,Vs haveaided men of
capital in that land the four prmoipal
moves are the Manitoulin, Temiscammg and
Algoma railways and the pulp licenses. Not
a foot of the landJven away in the pulp
permits. The work of settlement cannot be
impeded and farmers taking up land have
the full right to own and Bell the pulp timber
at 40 cents a cord. There are now seven com-
panies at work. Starting at 20 cents a cord,
the price has been doubled, with the right to
raise the price without consulting these oom-
panies, agreement lasting for 21 years. No
timber must be exported, nor outsiders em-
ployed in the work. 84,280 must be expended
by these men and we stipulate how many
men must be employed. 2000 menwill be at
work when all are completed.
In 1898 we decided that our saw loge were
to be sawn in Ontario and mills and men are
now hard at work. Eddy Bros., at Blind
River, Algoma, is a marked illustration of the
value of this law.
Six years ago not apound of iron was rais-
ed but last year 270,000 raised from one
mine. Nota onnd of pig iron or steel °years
ago, now at Bomilton and Sault Ste. Marie
8:13,000 was the output lest year. No coun-
try as valuable as ours for mineral deposits.
The U. S. is offering 810,000 a year to teach
mineralogist and geologist in various States
in the Union. We aid schools in Kingston
and Toronto in same line on account of the
practical value the ;training of our young
men in these problems will be to this coun-
try. The outlook is bright in our minerals.
The greatest asset of any land is an educat-
ed people and with this object the Govern-
ment has done great things in perfecting our
system. Hon. Mr. Harcourt closed with a
brief reference to the Educational policy in
which he desired to give to every boy and
fit them d fight adals in vantage
the calculated life., when con-
demns
Whidemns our Educational policy. We are less-
ening our exeminatians. The speaker said he
had taught in pnblio and High Schools and
was also Inspector. We need not have com-
petitive examinations but we must have
qualifying examinations. We need not have
intellectual duels but the Entrance and Pub-
lic School Leaving. examinations are valuable.
No Government utas any desire to saddle a
high price for books on anybody. 94 will sup-
ply the annual cost for books to an ordinary

Mr. Harcourt was Heartily greeted as he
came forward to speak. He said be was glad
to be ppresent and meet snoh a splendid aud-
iencein East Heron. It certainly betokened
viotory. Euiogiatip,words were spoken of
the late Thos. Gibson former M. P. P. for
many years. Mr. Hislop, he said, was a
worthy successor, and was already prominent
in parliamentary offices. Hie terseness of
manner andfluency of speech were noted
and he had represented East Huron with
credit. We have a great country in Ontario
and new problems are to the front and Nye
must face those of today, rather than deal-
ing with dead issues of the past. Liberals in
Birmingham had the motto, Register, Or-
ganize, .Educate," not a bad motto for the
Liberals of this Province. The duty of Lite
orals is to poll every vote. A great many
believe that party allegiance is one of the 10
commandments but we can properly appeal
to Independents to -day to vote for the Liber-
al cause in the best interests of the people at
large irrespective of party. The speaker told
an amusing story about a boy on: being asked
his father's politics said he was not a Conser-
vative nor a Liberal, but a milk man.
The Government are directors of a great
business of which the electors are the stook -
holders, and to whom an account has to be
rendered. It is methodically managed and
divided into practical departments, the heads
of which are up-to-date men. No discontent
in this Province except in those who travel
the country seeking for otlioe. The merchant,
the mechanic and agriculturist are all do-
ing weU and there are no pessimists in our
midst. A wonderful period of prosperity is
here and the Liberals are appealing to you to
sustain the present Premier, who has given
the country the moat advanced legislation
and placed it in as good a condition as any
country ever enjoyed.
The Agricultural department is presided
over by Mr. Dryden, a practical farmer.
Ridicule and objection to tate Experimental

Death oloeed the earthly career of
Principal Grant at 11.15 o'clock Satur-
day morning
Dr. Grant's last illness began on Tues-
day, April 29, while attending a meeting
of the University Oonocil. For several
days hie case was considered critical,
but Tuesday, 6th inst., following an oper-
etioo, a change for the better came, and
ie was thought his life might be prolong-
ed. Early Saturday morning it became
evident that Berne fluids ware filling hie
lunge and this meant inevitable death.
His end was peanefal. Quietly it came
in the presence of his only son, W. L.
Grant, M. A., his sister•in•law, Mre.
Field, and his niece. Mies Field, and the
medioal men.
Sarronnding the deathbed were hie eon,
William L.; his eieter•in-law, Mrs. Field,
and hie uieoe Mise Field ; the doctors
and his faithful old servant, Janet. The
end was silently and tearfully awaited,
and abll o'clook the heart had ceased to
beat. Fifteen minutes later the Union
Jack floated at half mast over the univer-
sity tower, anooanoing to the people in
Sunthweetern part of Kingston that the
great life bad ended.
The remaina of Prinoipal Grant garbed
in academic suit, rested in a plain black
coffin in thedrawing,room. There are no
flowers and everything is marked by the
greatest simplicity, a thing the Principal
greatly loved in life. Undertaker T. F.
Harrison tarried out the family wiebee
inall matters. On Tuesday Dr. Grant's
remains were taken to Convooation
Hall in Queens university. The publics
ware admitted for some hones previous
to the funeral at 3 p. m. on that day.
Dr. Grant died quite poor. He was a
man of great generosity, and all he reoeiv.
ed he gave away. In all the ahnrabee
Sunday reference was made to the great
public loss euetained by the death of the
eminent Prinoipal. Dr. Grant's het pub -
lie appearance was on holiday, April 27th,
when the bacoalanieate sermon was
delivered by Prof. Clark, D. D., of Tor-
onto. On that onoasion Dr. Grant read
the Scriptures and prayed. On April
29th he was attacked with the fatal 111-
neee. For several days prior to death it
was thought he was recovering, but on
Saturday a collapse ensued and death
followed.
Telegrams of sympathy poured in
from all over Canada and the Un ited
Statee to W. L. Grant, eon of the
dead Principal.
Premier Boss in the coarse of hie
epeeab at Cornwall, said labor was more

high, and batter and eggs were by no

explained the pulp agreements, and, in
reply to Mr. Whitney's contention, said
we did get a bonus for pulpwood, in the
form of pulp mills, (meting large sums.
