Tun Nor' Waster, W. F. Luxton's new paper at Winnipeg, is after the C. P. R. Willi a sharp stick. Tun newspaper coupon 1 alto which has been extensively run by prominent American and Canadian dailies, by which the subscriber on returning a certain number of coupons and 10 cents to pay the cost of paoking and mailing, in re- turn for which World's Fair portfolios were Bent out, has been pretty thorough- ly exposed by Wannamaker, of Philadel- ' phia, who is advertising and selling a series of these same pictures at 5 cents each, and olaims to make a profit on that. This is a sample of the usual fake adopted by newspapers, who require out. side help to keep up the circulation. Tun Posm has 11 00 good authority that one Toronto daily clears 2 cants on every set of views it works off on the unsuspect- ing subseriber'. "L. H. DINGtLilf, ot the Herald, has been appointed as vice and deputy-oonn- sul of the 'United Staten at Stratford." The dearly beloved brethren of the press in Perth County are getting there slow- ly but surely. Bro. A. St. George Haw- kins, of the Listowel Standard, basks in the sunshine of Collector of Customs ; Wm. Climie, B. A., of the Listowel Ban- ner, is trying to feel at home as Inspec- tor of Licenses ; and now Bro. Dingman, of the Stratford Herald, has the above mentioned office crowded upon him. The pen may be mightier than the sword but a good paying Government "sit" is a heap sight better in settling coal bills and paying taxes, and the aforesaid brethren are to be congratulated that they can leave the shears and paste pot to one side occasionally and do duty intimately with the treasury of this banner Prov- ince and grand Dominion. We trust that the St. Marys papers, Atwood Bee and other luminaries in Perth will not be overlooked when the "office is seeking the man." Wurnis an organization has been jun. W1o1 from the 'United States into Clan. ado which COmpale its votaries to take an oath that, Se far se in their power lies, they will boycott Boman Catholics for all publio and private positione, the House of Nays, cus the Legislature of the Isle of Man in called, has just passed a meaeure, duly eanotioned by the govern- or, removing the civil disabilities to which Boman Catholics have until now been subjected in the island on account of their religion. It was until a week or two ago the only spot in the Britieb empire where! a Catholic was by law de• barred by reason of his religion from exercising his full right of citizenship and from holding any office. from that of membership in the Legislature to that of attorney or conetable. British fair play has triumphed at last, however. Shall the hands of the clock be turned back in Canada ?—London Advertiser. A NoTA1Mm Liberal victory was scored in South Lanark last Friday. Mr. Mo• Lenaghan, the Conservative member of the Ontario Legislature, elected at hut general election by n majority of 431 over his Liberal opponent, recently resigned his seat to accept an office in the gift of the Dominion Government. This neces- sitated the bye•election, whieh has re- sulted in the return of J. 22. Clark, of Smith's Falls, a strong and progressive Liberal who has been prominently con- nected with public affairs in the county for many years. In Mr. Clark Sir Oliver Mowat gains a supporter who will do the cause which he advocates credit. Tho triumph for Liberal principles on this occasion presages the result in the elections which are' at hand. There were four candidates in the °cutest in Lan- arlc. When a man enters politics now, in addition to being the choice of hie party, he should be on good terms with the Patrons of Industry, the P. P. A's, and the Prohibitionists also. IT would appear that the Patron. cau• diciates do not always find the path to- ward the Local Legislature lined with roses and in more than one instance they have withdrawn from the fight before the first blow was struck. We approve, very heartily, of the platform as a whole but believe their interests would be fur- thered better and quicker by throwing their support with those most akin to their desires. This would certainly he with the Liberal party, as a reading of their platform will convince the most skeptical. The Ontario Legislature is not made up of lawyers and doctors, as some would like to prove, but has no less than 135 farmers in it who guard well the interests of agrioulture and see that even handed juetioe is meted out to the tiller of the soil. The Public) Itocouuts wilt further prove that large sums are nually paid in the same line, aggregating from 0140,003 to 0160,000 per year. While we are willing to place a high estimate on the ability of the farmers of Ontario we don't think that 15 House composed entirely of that class would be an improvement on one, es already oon• etituted, in which offi olaseee have the privilege of representation. Walton. R. Spading ie still on the Rick list. Fulton's 'hotel, on the road between here and Settforth, was totally destroyed by fire early Thursday evening of last week. The fire was amused by a defective ohimney, and had, before being noticed, gained too much headway to be brought under control. The house and contents were insured in the Wellington Fire In - gunmen Company, of Guelph, for 0900. Total loss not known. POLITICAL MEETING.—On Tuesday Oven • ing of next week, 27th inst., a public meeting will be held at Leadbury, John MeMillan, M. P. Inc South Huron, will speak on the subject of "The Patrons platform and the present position of Canada as to Tariff reform." The meet- ing will begin at 7:30 o'clook. The local committee has arranged with the propri- etor of the Leadbury hotel and supper wi II be served ut the close of the meeting, Mr. McMillan being the gueet 01 1110 evening. c,,,nuairtn Nevvr.,A.

Jutta Biggs, daughter of a High School teacher at Parkhill, aged 19 yeare, die• apeared from her home two weeks ago and has not since been heard from. Mrs. England, wife of Dr. F. R. Eng- land, Monteral, was given tartar emetic by a druggist in place of bismuth and died almost immediately after taking the poison. Rev. John Helliwell, grand chaplain of the Orange grand lodge, who was re• cently stricken with, paralysis, is still seriously ill at his home at Vankleek Hill. Gold discoveries in the Rainy River country have created a great deal of in- terest at Winnipeg and many proepectors in that city are arranging to go there in the spring. Before a large audience at the Acad- emy of Musics Monday Hon. H. G. Joly, the Protestant ex -Premier of Quebec made an eloquent plea for greater har. mony amnog the people of Canada in re- gard to race and religious matters.

We notice that the indebtedness is rather larger than last year but the difference is more than accounted for by the heavy ex- penditure on bridges. We are pleased to report on the very correct manner in which the Treasurer discharges his duty, his books are correctly kept. We also counted the cash and compared it with the book, with which we found it to agree exactly. His security ie perfectly good. All of whieb is submitted. C. MoCLELLAND,} Auditors. R.
