Tangai le no shortage of deer hnntere this Fall ve over 8,00011oenses and pax - Mite have been issued, 363 of these were Bent out from Toronto office. If there le not more than deer shot it will be the next thing to a miracle. Ix is hinted that Sir Charles Topper, leader of the Conservative party in the Oommoee, may visit Walkerton and Wingham and deliver addreeses from the Opposition standpoint. He would draw a big crowd no doabt as he fills a large place in the public eye and for a man of his yeare poeseeeee wonderful vigor, We hope he may Meg be epered to 000upy the position he now fills, Axomnen railway projeob will be dis- cussed at the next session of the Ontario Legislature to ran from the French river through Parry Sound District and Nip• feeing to Pembroke and thence to moa. nectione to 0. P. R It is said the road is a great neoeaeity in the development of that motion and would prove a great blessing. While this may be true a clear and definite understanding should be arrived at before help is granted es many a dollar hae been badly used by the buy. log up of minor linea by the big com- panies. Clntrexraa people are apparently de- termined that the closing of the 1911 aeotury—the beet century in the history of the world—will be marked by an event that will be historic) in its character, ae the response to the call for money in oon- neotion with the 20111 Century Thanks. giving Fend has been little short of mar- vellous in commotion with both Presby. tartan and Methodist oburobee. The latter denomination in this dominion ie aiming at a Million dollars, and toward that the sum of 5445,000 has already been subscribed and the plan is really on. ly in its initial stage, R000gnizing our stewardship and making aatione apeak instead of words is God honoring and at the same time clearing off old debts ; endowing worthy enterprises ; and giv. ing a grand stimulus to wider usefulness and service. The object lesson should bave a benefloial effect upon the tieing generation. Let the good work go on, THE London street oar strike still drags along although the oars are now receiving paying patronage. In some oases the cause of the strikers has not been strengthened by the boycott worked on bueioee people who, for their000venieooe, patronized the oars. It ie a little doubt. fol on whish side there is the most tyranny --the Company or the strikers. Tbe drebractioo of oar windows by briok• bats and atones and the attempt to frighten the public from using the various linea hasr recoil c e Bao action t a the leads many to tbink other means shock] be employed to accomplish m 1 s4 the end in view and has p lost much support at first a000rded the men. In our opinion, while strong and outspoken opinion was expressed fur the etrikers, the tide, to a large extent, bas turned and the Street Railway Company will win, It bas been an unfortunate experience for London and au expensive one as well that should have been settled by arbitration. A little give on both aides would have accomplished it. Is General White were at liberty to take a few days off from Ladysmith he oould easily be loaded up with pointers es to how to conduct a military campaign in South Alvin, judging by the newspaper criticisms. We are well aware, of course, that journalists are remanded to give advioe on almost any subject bat when some of them demand that Gen. White be beheaded at once because be did not hammer 20,000 Boers with 12,000 British they are probably a trifle gay. It ie true we expect Britian and the Union Jack to always win, and the record has been a worthy one, but 000aeionally reverses come, sometimes attributable to too great daring in the face of overwhelming odds. We'll bask Mr. White yet and expect shortly to hear tell of Uncle Paul Kruger climbing down from his perch and realizing that he's not the only planet in the broad heavene. Tbe eilua- tion at the present is not the most en- couraging, however, to the soldiers of the Queen. Tao terrors of war are forcibly brought to the notice of the public by the official statement team the United Btatee adjutant -general who affirms that during the year, May 1698, to Jane 30111, 1829, the casualties totalled 10,076. If these Agoras are 0orreot when a good portion of the time i0 taken up in ekirmiebing What must it be when weeks and months are spent in real active warfare, One of the British Commanders says "War fa legalized murder" and we think he is not far out in hie definition. We hope the rule that "when e. civilized Nation gees to war with one lees civilized the uiti, mate reoblte far outweigh any temporary lose at Sreb suffered," may be speedily fulfilled with the Boor -British entangle - rabbi and that true liberty will seemed tyranny and obetinaay, 11 may be intere0ting news, of a sad eha08818 , to know that 2,835 British ealdiers have been killed) wounded one taken prlsaner, sboae hoetilitieo commenced. There is no definite information to hand ae to the losses sustained by the Boers but 11 mast Mtn into the thoneande ae the artillery Wed by John Bell hits been particularly destructive. PneeIDewgao, affairs are looming up in the neighboring Republic and W. J. Bryan, who was defeated at the last con. teat by Preeideot McKinley, is making a regular tour in pushing his oandidatgre for the next eleotiou. Mr. Bryan (bill etioke to the tree silver doctrine and combs Mr, MaKiuley'e whiskers aver the Philippine war and other matters of administration, He says he wants the Amerioao flag to be loved rather then feared, With all the boasted liberty and freedom of our U, S. magus, we imagine the people of this Dominion are fully as well off staler oar present mode of goy ernmeub, MR. BOLGER ON THE SITUATION. To the Editor of THE Poem: DEna SI11,—Atter reading in '100 Poor of Oat. 10th part of the petitions address eiveo in Brussels by Dr. McDonald, M. P., I feel inclined to say a few worde on the other side if you will kindly allow me a small space. The Dr. pointed. out many things that the Liberals had done in making good their pre election promises. First, the set. tltOg of that vexed Manitoba school tluea tion. It pertainly is news for me to near that the Manitoba school question was ratio- fastorily settled, for we all know that after the settlement the Roman Catholics of Man• i tu baero very much displeasedlesea d with the terms l1 settlement, somit h eon that akott• ly atter, if Iremomber rightly, over 20 private schools were opened. I thought that did not took like a settlement. The Quarantine of 2 mouths on Canadian catte going into the U. S.wae removed by skillful management, and thereby a market opened whereby 00,000 head of stook Is anaaally de• livered, the cattle now being examined on the border. That was a good move on the part of the Government, and we must give them some credit for ib, for they did assist with the Americana, in making the change, But we must not give them all the credit, for if We did it would be like saying they were running the Amertoan Goverhmena The fact of the matter is the Americans wanted our cattle, for, according to reporlo then, the Americans lost 100,0.10 head of oat. Me the Winter before with the inclemency of the weather, and many tkuueands were lost (ase Whiter from the same cause. Then came Free Trade relations, not Free Trade, for that 0anno1 be so long ae revenue is rale. ed from Customs Duties. Just so, and 10 these worde the Dr, supporta my former statements when I said the N. P. came to stay. Now we will tee how the Liberals car- ried out their p re-election promises. For 18 77yyliears the advanced part of the Reform party apparentlyave been lywerelyoto Free Trade they ready ['hod oceans tion -stricken • tears for the poor, with the heavy pro tea. of tariff d farmer, wrtn the their burden of ttriff added to thewinefcs of theft combin- ations with the country filled with oombin- atlons and monopolies, gotag to the dogs with the horribly increasing National es. pendIlure, and the 1hotisands fleeing to that free South would sus ay get d of the ill - motion. Theyy put as into 01180 and we will change all these wrongs and make them right ; we will do away with the villianous tariff; then the people iu general and the farmers in particular, will get the bene5 t of low mines ou their requirements ; we will also reduce the expenditure by pay- ing more attention to economy. Well, the Liberals did get into office, and, Mr, Editor, What do you suppose they did as soon as they got in, atter knowing for 18 yeare ex• n obly what was needed? Why, air, they just appointed Com,nlesiinera to find oat what was wanted ; then apparently, Mao eon olueion arrived at wee that Free ')tirade was not wanted, bot instead, revised the tariff, lowering on some lines and raising o1 oth- ers, putting two new articles ou the free list and leaving the much abused and deer old N. P. about the same as they got ft, it name h crdndearly a e stn . showing y 9 Ae- explhdb y THE Poet, the Dr. ung dealt very twine sly with hs Labe, rotor tee binaur si- tion. and coal oil bugbear for the r ao l a Opposi- tion. The Dr, is right, it is a bugbear and a a for the farmers and n badn° o t a Eo kers have to pay dear for the bear. Tan )10 noes tnot wine lque how the Dr. diked the lamed t u Lion but most likely h° wi a question, Y Sifted the Government twarlied n the ries top Pons. It the thine last year had not sold the Penitentiary the quest oast your at 41e soots per pound, the question could be solved moot easier. We got good protected binder tame at from 7 to 8 cents per pound, but It wee put on the free flat; then We had to pay as high as 15 aen10 per pound for it. We gob good protected l• s for about 80 cencorn s perdbushel then corn wee put on the free net. and up jumped the price to about 50 cents per bushel. Last year nearly 20 million bushels came into the country without paying even 1 dollar dully. The tariff on coal oil was rodueed by I/O and now we have to pay about double the prise for that article. The duty was rodeo - ed on farm implements, and'in lose than 1 year about 51,500,000 worth moo in riots the States, thereby taking the work away from our people and causing a higher pride to be Paid. Plows are up in price and other implements are getting up, Fencewire rubber wear, stoves and nearly all. kinds of manufactured articles, up in prise or getting lip, Coal is up in pride and the national ex. penditure is up. We aertainly live 10 a time when there ie a prosperous looking Drop of growing prices. Now I will leave it to the readers of THE POST to figure out whether the Reformers have carried out their pre- election promisee or not. Arch. mem, M. F. P. when closing his address at the Bann time and place, said he had no °souse to of- fer for those who tranegreee the law, refer- ring to eleotion trtale end chargee ofbrib- ery, but thought that before the Opposition were so free with their denanelation of Liberals they should turn up the remade of their own party and notice the palliation of, fared when the boot is on���� the other foot. New i• ng. It is like slaying "You ere or They are as bad as we are." it Mr, Meier) had said the Reform party for many years, had tried bo pose as a party of puri- ty, to make the world believe that w0 are Moe very 0000000 of purity, honesty and economy, and that the Opposition, or Oun- eervative party, have beet a Yery bad lot, that they were (hook full of bribery and cor- rupt acts; Wo have loaded them with every yile epithet whiob the lilnglish language oan produce, and now the world can see that we ere tar worse then they have been, as shown by the working of the machine. I say right here it Mr,Hlslop had said these words, or worde similar, he would have hit nearer the mark. Yours truly. 40.8. BOLGER, Grey Council Meeting.
