IT looks a good deal as if Japan and Russia will have their little squabbles long enough bo pause an actual deolara. tion of war, and if so it will no doubt prove a terribly destructive one. With tho modern implements of warfare and the deadly explosives, men would be mowed down like grain before a good reaper. How much better if the millions of dollars invested in shot and shell were landed out to the needy or placed whore it would add to the exchequer of these Nations, and the Christian method of settling disputes, viz. arbitration, brought into play. Selfishness and greed are at the bottom of many of these National differeuoes, and the Golden Rale does not come into the calculation at all. A coon dual of chaffing has been done in the past over the "upholstering" of sausages, and many and varied have been the opinions as to the constituents of a full grown, everyday sausage, the list containing the oat, the dog, the hog and the cow, but judging by the evidence in the Luetgert murder trial in Chicago, where it is strongly hinted that the murderer, who was & sausage maker, had chopped up his bettor half, on the quiet, and manufactured her mortal remains into sausage to tickle -the palates of the Chioagone, gives a rather gruesome reality to the stories. It reminds us of our childhood days when "Donnery Beck's Machine" was new and ground out what to us was remarkably funny, one verse saying : • "Now something was the matter, That machine it would not go, So Donnery Beck he crawled inside To find it out, you know ; His wife she took the nightmare And went walldng in her sleep, She gave the crank a terrible yank, And Donnery Beek was •meat. Chorus.—"O ! Mr. Dounery Beak, how could you be so mean ; I tolyl you you'd be sorry you invented that machine ; When cats and mice and long tailed rats no more are to be seen, You grind them up ,to sausage meat in Donnery Beck's machine." Au i:,,ne in the Torcnto is t.,ss, of the 10th inst., adds a new danger hitherto nob on the program. It remarks that "in the throat and nose department of the general hospital, Mrs. McMann, of Oak street, had a needle token out of her throat. The lady had been eating sausage that must have contained the needle, whioh lodged at the base of the tongue, and was taken away after a painful and difficult operation had been performed." In spite of all the above warnings, we purpose going right on eating sausages, because we have faith in our butchers and believe Messrs. Blashill, Currie and Walker will not serve up any of their relativee, near or remote, nor are we likely to be treated to darning or knitting needles. POLJTIOAL. Charles Calder is the Conservative nominee in South Ontario. There are four applications for divorce bills to be dealt with by the Senate neat 888810n. It is rumored that Mr. Whitney will stand for a Western constituency, likely in Toronto. The banquet to Hon. Mr. Sifton at Vanoouver was the Iargeet affair of the kind in the history of the city. By the death of Mr. Bolevert, M. P. for Nioolet, another Beat in the House of Commons is rendered vacant. Mr. Bolevert was a Conservative. Jas. Fisher, M.P.P., Manitoba, who a000mpanied the Diana to Hudson's Bay, says the straits are open for navagation for three months and a half each year. Mr. Whitney spoke at Guelph on the 16th. A. Conservative convention was palled for the same date to nominate a candidate for South Wellington, but both the gentlemen, R. L. Torrance and henry Hortop, deolined to run. The bye-eleotione for the Commons in Quebec resulted in the return of Charles A. Ganvreau for Semieoouate, and Dr. Rose for Rimouski, both Liberals, by ao. elamation. In Drummond and Artha- gasks, L. Lavergne (Liberal) and A. Noel (Conservative) were nominated. Eleotion on Saturday, when the former 5005 re. turned by a big majority. The Ottawa correspondent of the To- ronto Mail and Empire eaye that the pre. sent understanding there is that Sir 011. ver Mowat will leave for Toronto to as- sume the Lieutenant -Governorship of Ontario on Nov, 28rd, and that Hon. David Mille will assume the Department of Justice about that time. 11 having been asserted that Wm, Lount, M. P., reeigned hie seat in Toron- to because he was promised a judgeship, Premier Laurier gave the statement a denial. Mr. Lent's reason for retiring from public life is that a oonetituenoy like Center Toronto --one of the largest in the Dominion—takes more time than he can spare from hie profeeeional duties, The date of the bye-eleobion for Centre Toronto has been fixed, and Wm. Roaf, the well-known barrister, has been ap- pointed returning officer, The nomina- tion has been fixed for Nov. 28rd, with the election the week following, if a poll is nanny, Geo. H. Bertram, of the Ber- tram Engine Works, and the weli•knewn ship building Arm, will be the Liberal oaadidate. Itis not yet known who will be the candidate for the Conservatives, of whether a candidate will be brought on at all. SPECIAL ANNOUNCE- MENT. LEND US A HAND. In view of bhe improved times, we hope to very materially inorease the already large oiroutabion of Trns POST. We would like behave a copy in every household in the county. Tins POST'S oonstibnenoy is the Enid, Riding of Huron. Every week it gives news from every municipality in the Riding, and le, consevenbly, as en• Wresting and useful to the people of one municipality as it is to those of another. In addition to this, it gives a sufficient summary of the news of the world to )seep its readers posted in what is going on not at hone only, but throughout the entire world. So that if a person can only take one paper, Tnu Pon is the paper to take, as it gives Na, the hone news, and much news from abroad in a oondeused and most attractive form.
