DownloN Parliament is expeobed to
prorogue in a few days. It is said the
customary supply of oampaign literature
is being prepared, indicating that the
general elections will come of at no very
distant date.
Tom Montreal witness suggests that
Parliament should inquire into.the 00D.
tract system, so as to ascertain just how
much each contractor for Dominion Gov-
ernment work is expected to pay to the
eleotion funds• of the men now in power.
LAW week the thirteenth annual Chris.
Man Endeavor Convention was hold at
Cleveland, Ohio, when about 40,000 dele-
gates assembled. It was a magnificent
gathering and -will produce grand results
among the young people of Canada and
our Yankee neighbors.
THE Sunday car advocates in Toronto
undertook to set the wheels in motion
last Sabbath between the city and High
Park. Policemen were placed in charge
of the cars and they didn't run, City
Solicitor Meredith says the cars can't go
until the Council say so, and the Mayor
talks as if that august body was not in
humour to grant the request.
Mn. MoCAnynr's Northwest separate

Janes GAUNT, Patron candidate in West
Huron for Dominion election, is in the
black books of some of the Conservatives
in that locality because he "went back on
Connolly" who measured swords with J.
T. Garrow, M. P. P., in the last contest.
We have come to the conclusion, now
that the Provincial elections are over,
dant the Conservative press and stunipers
have suddenly cooled off on the Patron
movement preparatory to getting on their
war paint for a straight political fight for
honors at Ottawa. We persume Mr.
Gaunt will suit himself as to whether
he fades away and dies or not since he
hes been flayed for his "disloyality."
Any sect or organization that attempt to
place a muzzle or any man's freedom is
not in keeping with the 19th century ad-

VOLUME 3AII.
THE PosT begins its 22nd Volume this
week. The years roll by quickly and as
theygo we aim to make our journal a rec.
cord of the principal events, local, die-
triot, Canadian and general. Our best
thanks are returned to our correspondents
who have willingly aided us in our effort
to make THE Posy a newsy paper. The
business amen of Brussels and locality
have been generous advertisers as a rule,
and while assisting in maintaining a
weekly paper in their midst have profit-
ed, we believe, in an increased patron-
age. THE Posy never had a larger cir-
culation and we purpose doing our part to
make it a welcome weekly visitor to
every home in East Huron. We ask the
aid of our friends in this endeavor.

(From the Smith's Falls Record.)
Frank A. Ferguson, partner of Rioh•
and Smith 10 the marble business ab
Merriokville, is well known to most resi-
dents of that vicinity. He went through
an illness that nearly brought him to
death's door, and in an interesting chat
with a reporter of the Record told of the
means by which his remarkable reoovsry
was brought about.
"While engaged in my business as mar.
ble gutter at Kingston," said Mr. Far.
guson, "I was taken ill is May, 1893,
with malarial fever. After the fever wag
broken I continued to have a bold cough,
followed by vomiting and excruciating
pains in the stomach. I was under the
treatment of two different physioians bat
their madioine did me Do good, and 1
continued to grow weaker and weaker,
and it seemed as if I had gone into a de.
aline. About the middle of September I
waa'strongly urged hie friend to give Dr.
Williams' Pinta Pills a trial. I had nob
moat loops that they would help nae,
but from the time I commenced taking
the Pink'Pille I found myself beginning
10 improve, the vomiting ceased and final-
ly left me altogether. X grew stronger

At the time I was taken ill I weighed 197

Banta' Ponk Pills illness had reduced me
to 123 pounds, so that you will see hose
much the fink Pills have done for me,
I never felt better in my life than I do
now, although I ocoasionally take a pill

in my pocket, I believe that had I not
been induced to bake Pink Pills I would
be in my :grave to -day, and I am equally
aonvinoed that there Is no other madioine
oan equal them as a blood builder and re-
storer of shattered systems. I ive boxes
cured me when the skill of two of the
ablest doctors in Ontario failed, and
when I look heels to the middle of last
September and remember that I was not
able to stand on my feet, I consider the

On Friday Untied States Marshal
Harris arrested E. A Mathews, of Fort
Oonventry, N. Y., at Bennington, Vt., on
a charge of smuggling wool. Saturday
before United States Commissioner
Johnson he was arraigned and held in
02,600 bail. Mathews is a wealthy far-
mer and has been in the wool business
for years. Mathews says that his arrest
is a scheme of those employed by him
to buy wool in Canada ; that one of these
wool buyers was naught this side of the
line recently and was made to settle a
disputed maim, and in revenge this act-
ion and arrest was taken.
