J. A. Ohipman; a leading Nova Scotia Conservative, head of a big business firm, and until recently an active campaigner, has resolved that he oan no longer stip. port the party with which he has been allied. This announcement has paused a sensation. in the aifartitime Provinces. It is a sign of the times.

Senator Ferguson, who accompanied Hon. John diaggart and Hon. J. 0. Pat. terson on their ministerial tour up west in December, has been ordered to Florida. Dr. Ferguson is a very sink man, and will winter in the South. Hon. W. H. Montague will do the buck of the talking daring the trip, whioh will not be pro- tracted beyond Feb. 20th. Wm. 'Paterson, M. P., himself an ex• tensive manufacturer in Brantford, was oheered in Montreal recently when he told the great mass meeting that when the Liberals oome into power at Ottawa in the near future, they will have regard in the collecting of tame to the revenue required to economically govern the conn. try and to that alone. Under that sys- tem, he said, there will be something like stability, men will not be afraid to inveet their money, and all industries will ad. vanoe. Mr. Paterson knows whereof he speaks. His views aro those of indepen- dent manufactures generally. Wentworth County Oounoil bas voted down the proposed poorhouse. The ex•Mayor of Listowel has discard. ed all others. He says :—I have for years been a sufferer from very severe bilious and neuralgia headeches, and I have tried many kinds of medioines, some with very fair results. But about a year ago need Starke Powders, and have since then discarded all others. I found they gave immediate and permanent re- lief.—S. BRIOHEu, Hardware merchant, Ex. -Mayor, Lietowel.
