Ebt N11tSSttS A'St,
FRIDAY, MAR. 12, 1897.
WE don't begrudge Hon. Hugh John
McDonald his job in becoming the leader
of the.Opposition iu the Manitoba Legis-
lature. He evidently believes it is bettor
to be a big fish iu a little puddle than a
little fish in a big puddle.
Gmvn•,rnrNr House ought to go as far
as its maintenance by Ontario is coo.
cerned. If the Lient.-Governor with
$10,000 a year, can't keep house on that
figure, he hall better quit and hoard out.
It is very nice to have a flue house kept
in up•to- date style for the entertainment
of a few nabobs but democratic Ontario
is out seeking for ruffles and frills but for
economic management of public affairs,
and if lopping off Government House
is a means to accomplish this end, eveu if
it has been an old custom, let us have it.
IT is said wotneu will be admitted to
the Corbett --Fitzsimmons prize fight at
Carson, Nevada, next week. Oue silly
critter has sent a "wish bone" to Fitz.
asking him to put it under his pillow as a
good luck harbinger for the slugging
mateh on the 17th. The womanhood of
that section of the United States must be
at low ebb, and the fine, sympathetic feel-
ings supposed to be possessed by thein
must be sadly blunted when they will
lend their presence to such an exhibition.
Iltindreds of special policemen are to be
sworn iu to look after blacklegs, and
here is where the daughters of Eve are to
be found. Shame ou them. The name
of every one who attends ehould be
published to the world.
Tuo Pear readers should peruse the
able speech of Thos. Gibson, the veteran
M. P. P. for East Huron, the first portion
of which appeared in last issue. We be-
lieve the supporters of the Government
are right when they demand at the hands
of the Opposition specific charges of ex-
travagance or mill -appropriation rather
than the generalities insinuated which
like the pot of gold and the rainbow or
the wicked flea, ere usually someplace else
when the place designated is searched.
It is to the great credit of the Govern-
ment that the administration of public
affairs for the past 24 years has been of
such a character that the politicians both
big and little on the Opposition beaches
are unable to find a dollar spent in any
crooked transaction.
PERDU/ENE CLEVELAND won the plaudits
of many people both iu Canada and the
United States, and deservedly so, when
he vetoed the =row -minded immigra-
tion bill presented to him for his official
signature. The people of the American
Republic may occasionally grow alarmed
at the prominence attained by Canadians
in the U. 5 , but the passing of any
such alien legislation would necessitate
the application of the same rule in this
Dominion and it is not asstuning too
much to affirm that the loss to the
United States would be more than the
gain. There would be a great "scatter-
meut of our American cousins from the
mines in British Columbia, as one in.
stance and numerous other instances
could be cited. Mr, Cleveland, your bead
is level on what constitutes 19th century
legislation betweeu civilized nations, and
any time you're out of a job drop us a
postal card and we'll see that your case
is attended to promptly.
.A. Cerin1e1ONDENT iu this issue unfairly,
we think, criticises the Dominion Govern.
snout for not having made tariff changes,
tee., before this. Ile must surely know
that in the short session held since Hon.
Wilfrid Laurier's elevation to the Promi.
ersltip the tariff was not one of the quell.
tions discussed ; ho must also be aware
that the Commiseionere appointed to
secure evidence on this matter have not
yet presented their report, and consults.
ently no person is in a position to state
what course may be taken by tho Govern-
ment at the coming session of the Com•
mons. We have it from the heads of
Departments that expenses aro being cot
down by the remodelling of their De-
partments outl until bolter proof is ad-
duced we are disposed to believo those
statements. The Laurier Government
has already settled cfuestione that the
late Government was dickering with for
years, All the Liberals ask is a fair field
and sufficient time to work out the plans
thoy have laid. If they don't fulfill their
pledges then 11 will be quite a proper
thing to pall them to account, as they are
our servants, nob our masters.

A 4.year-old son of William Bulmer,

p&Y less seems to be' the whole stock of Clothing Wisdom of
some people. It lacks balance—It's heavy on the side of
folly.
Pay more, if you ]Dust, rattler than pay for poor goods of
” little value.
There's lots of advertising done for know-nothing people.
Were not spending a cent to catch such a trade. We're after the
Wisest—those who know good material, good workmanship and good style. The
shrewder the buyer the better we liktr'it.
And not alone in the Clothing trade, our best business lies with those people who
can judge qualities aright and understand the real value of goods, We wish there were
more such. •
The best hint we can give you is to buy of a house that doesn't play tricks. This
is such a store. If things are not as represented here you get your money back, Can
you ask for any better guarantee ?
