FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1897,
Tis Toronto 11Iai1 concedes that the
Liberals have been victorious in Prince
Edward Island elections by a majority of
21 to 9. The nest Liberal victory will be
in the province of Ontario. The Conser-
vatives are of that opinion, but in the
meantime they are whistling to keep their
courage up.
We suggest that a bylaw be passed
prohibiting the ornamentation of tele-
graph, telephone and electric light poles
with quack medicine advertisements, and
that each of the Compauies be asked to
]cave their share of the poles neatly paint-
ed. Tie would certainly be a big
improvement to the appearance of our
already fine Main street.
Tun new -License AAet came into force
on July 1st. No person uuder twenty-
one years of age can take a drink in a bar-
room ; no druggist can sell liquor without
a doctor's certificate, and no country
hotel -keeper can keep open after ten
o'clock. Copies of the Act have been
sent to thevariotisinspectors throughout
the province, and they aro all on the
alert.
Boseaase will have to play second
fiddle, for a time at least, while the
prospectors rough it at the Yucon. We
suppose pioneering for gold is as neces-
sary as it was when the sturdy yeomanry
of the long ago went into the bush to
clear rip the farms, bat it strikes tis that
a good number of diose who rush off
with every fresh attack of gold fever
would be about as well off to stay at home
and by putting the same amount of
energy, capital and hard work into their
business or calling here would in all
probability attain a position as quickly as
in the much talked of gold regions.
next year with the increasing competition
in the business even a better rate could
be secured, With the debwltuees run•
niug over 20 years the proportion for each
year would not be burdensome and would
eventuate in removing a heavy drain on
the town treasury for sidewalk repairs
and renewals. Wingltam, Seaforth, Lis•

fereneein the expense.
Tac failure of the John Eaton Depart-
mental store, with over $101,000 due
creditors, establishes the fact, in one
instance at least, as to how goods can be
sold at cut throat prices, anal we have
very little sympathy to bestow on the
wholesale houses that have been scorch-
ed by the smash. Eaton had a big
establisbmeut, and it seems that wbile
his barbers shaved his patrons the big
firm shaved their creditors, and while
their butchers supplied the mutton chops
the proprietors took the Bide off the
wholesalers. It is not likely that the end
is reached yet, as some members of the
firm are under arrest and will be asked to
show the ways and means used in the
management of the business.

Bol1'ett Ilolv'u With Itltetnuatisni and
Sciatica.
From the Post, Saokvi110, 38. R,
Records like the following carry con -
victim with them, and iu a practical
sense it might be said that this is still
the age of miracles. Edward Downey,
of Maccan, N, B., Bays :-"I have been a
resident of Cumberland Co. some years.
1 have been a great sufferer for upwards
of ten years with sciatic rheumatism. I
was tortured with severe pains which at
times would become almost unbearable,
and I think I suffered almost everything
a man can suffer and live. I was so
crippled that I could not work and part
of the time was not able to even move
about. X became so weak and my system
so run down that I despaired of ever get-
ting better. My case was an almost
hopeless one, and as I hall abandoned
work I was almost helpless for over a
year. I beard of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and I was induced to at least give
them a trial. In a short time I began to
recover, and the agonizing pains left my
back and limbs, so that I was enabled to
walk out of doors. Before I had used
more than half a dozen boxes I was al-
most entirely well and could do a hard
day's work. I had a good appetite and
began to gain flesh -aud feel like a new
man. I am free from aches and pains
and have Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
thank for 11 all." The reporter could not
help fueling that Mr. Downey's case was
a striking one, as be now presents a stout,
well-built figure, straight limbed and as
smart in his movements as a young 1110.11
of twenty.
Ie 1898 the Ronald bonus of $20,000
matures as do the Frout Street deben-
tures of $2,200, and new debentures will
have to he leaned. For the 20 years these
have been running the rate of interest
has been 7% and as a new male can pro-
bably bo made at 4°;, a saving 0f close on
$700 per annum will be made in interest,
Our proposition is that at the same time
debentures be issued for the flew salver's
on Main street, as that necessary public
words will probably be loft over until next
year, and that enomgli money bo raised to
replace the present plank sidewalk through
the business portion of 13rnoaole with
granolithic. A largo portion of the walk
will have to be torn up to admit of cellar
conneetfons with the sewer and a goodly
portion of it will nob he in condition to
re-lay hence the practicability of patting
clown a permanent walk, The era of
plants walks has about gone as in addition
to the difficulty of securing first-class
plank the price ie likely to advance to
equal tbo cost of granolithio. We know
of several maltreats for the latter as low
AS 10 cense per square fooh, and doubtless
