FRIDAIY, NOV. 19, 1897.
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.

a000mpanied the Diana to Hudson's Bay,
says the straits are open for navagation

16th. A. Conservative convention was

ver Mowat will leave for Toronto to as-
sume the Lieutenant -Governorship of

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

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.
In order, therefore, to encourage a large
increase in ite circulation, we make the
following liberal offer. We will give Teta
POST from NOW, until the First of Jan-
uary, 1800, for the price of one year, One
Dollar paid in advance.
As we do not want aur friends to work
for us for nothing, and as WO do want
them to work for us, we makethisfurther
liberal offer : Any present subscriber who
will send us three new names on the
above terms, accompanied by the money,
will be given a copy of• Tms POST for one
year free. Half an hour's work on the
part of any one of our present subscribers
will enable them to have Tan POST next
year for nothing. New subscribers from
outside the limits of the Riding will nob
count in this offer. This offer should
secure us at least a thousand new names
before New Years.
