Tan Toronto News says t -Li seven
months the coroners of the city have
drawn within $54 of the totalappropri-
ation of the year for inquests, which was
91,500. Some of them must have reaped
a rich harvest.
TORONTO does nothing by balves.. It is.
'said they annually appropriate $3,000 for
the entertainnent of distinguished visit-
ors. ' The poor taxpayer rejoices of course
in this even if his yearly burdens do in
crease.
Sat Charles Rivers Wilson hes been
entertained by the Montreal Board of
Trade, to whose members he spoke hope-
fully of Grand Trunk affairs. In com-
pany with Joseph' Price, the President
went to Quebec, and they are expected to
come West soon.
The development of the eleotrio rail-
way has been so rapid that it is difficult
to keep statistics up to date.. It is said
that on July 1st there were in operation
in the United States 860 distinct lines,
having 9,000 miles of ,track, 23,000 oars,
and a capital investment of $400,000,000.
In the whole of Europe only 69 lines
were in operation.
An early Dominion general election is
looked for in some quarters, and the men
in power in Ottawa are certainly making
many preparations for the conflict that
will bring about a =eh needed change
for the better. In other circles the belief
is entertained that the office holders will
delay the verdict as long as they possibly
can. The wise will get ready for the
fight. Then, whether it comes sooner or.
later, they will have nothing to regret.
THE Mail and Empire praises Sir Don-
ald Smith for not drawing his sessional
indemnity and mileage as a member of
Parliament, and mildly censures Mr. Mo -
Mullen and Mr. Mulock for drawing
theirs. .It would have been only fair to
explain that Sir Douald Smith is very
seldom in bis place in the House of 00m -
mons, and as he does so little to earn the
indemnity it is rust as well that he does
not try to pocket it. Sir Donald is re-
puted to be able to count his wealth by
millions.
THE Toronto Conservative newspapers
have for years slopped over with enthusi-
asm for the great Canadian home market
and the necessity of patronizing • home
products. When it comes to the purchase
of a fire engine for their own city they
haven't a "cheep" out of them for the
Ronald and the home industries, but run
away to the Old Land for a machine to
fill the bill. Mr. Ronald scores a point
when he twits the great Conservative
city of preaching one thing and practic-
ing another. If Toronto were going to be
advantaged by the purchase of a Merry -
weather it would be a different thing but
people who know say the Ronald doss
superior work and costs machine money.

IiAmwAY racing has set in again in
Great Britain, The best record to date
is the Great Northern between London

rasing must have been entirely for brava-
do, as no one °area to reach Aberdeen at
half -past four in the morning or 'inter.
mediate places earlier. Had the train
started three or four hours later it would
have been easier to understand. if the
English railways would put sleeping oars
within the reach of the travelling public
the people would be less anxious for rapid
and dangerous night travelling. The ex-
pense of the added: comfort would be far
less than that of the added speed, count
ing the extreme tear and wear to rolling
stook and the extreme tax upon the vital
reserves of the best engine -drivers.
THE new Colonial Secretary is reported
to have stated in the course of a speeoh
in the British House of Commons that
he "would be prepared to consider care-
fully any case in which, by a judicious
investment of Imperial money, the colo-
nies could be developed." If Mr. Cham-
berlain is in earnest about the inaugur-
ation of such a policy, his attention
should be directed to the Canadian
Northwest and the possibilities of devel-
opment that exist there. If the British
Governuient would invest a Rum in the
purchase of a tract of land in the Terri-
tories, and settle upon it a colony of
suitable immigrants from Britain, loan-
ing them sufficient funds to make a start
in life, there is little doubt that it would
he a success. A carefully selected colony
of British farm laborers planted on the
prairies, with the hope before them of
becoming owners of their farms, would be
a long step in the direction of the de-
velopment of Canada. And while Mr.
Chamberlain is looking for ways of de.
veloping the colonies, he should make
some inquiries into the mineral wealth
of the Province of Ontario that is await-
ing an investment of capital.

Threatened With Paralysis -Weak, E •
elated, and Unable to Stand Fatigue -
Pink Pills Restores her Health.
From the Napanee Beaver.
The Rev. F.33- Stratton, of Selby, is
one of the best known ministers in Bay
of Quint° Conference, of which body he
is the President. During the two years
Mr. Stratton has been stationed at Sel-
by, both he and Mrs. Stratton have won
hosts of friends among all classes for
their unassuming and sincere Christian
work. Solus time ago Mrs. Stratton was
attacked with partial paralysis, and her
restoration attributed to the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, a reporter of the
Beaver was sent to interview her. In re-
ply to the reporter's question Mr4'. Strat-
ton said that she had been greatly bane -
fitted by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and was perfectly willing to give
her experience that those similarly af-
flicted might be benefitted. Mrs. Strat-
ton said that before moving to Selby she
had been troubled by a numbness com-
ing over one of her sides and arms (partial
paralysis) wbich, when she moved, felt
as though hundreds of needles were stick-
ing in the flesh. For over a year she had
been troubled in this way, with occasion-
ally a dizzy spell. She was becoming
emaciated and easily fatigued and was
unable to sleep from this cause. The
trouble seemed to be worse at night time.
Mr. Stratton bad become greatly alarmed
at her bad state ofhealth, and it was
feared that 000nplete Paralysis would en-
sue, as Mrs. Stratton's mother, the late
Mrs. Weaver, of Ingersoll, had been simi-
larly stricken, at about the same age.
Snowing a young lady in Trenton, where
Mr. Stratton had been previously station-
ed, who had been clued by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, it was determined to give them
a fair trial. When Mrs. Stratton began
using the Pink Pills she was very thin
and her system badly run down, but after
talciug the pills for a time, all symptoms
of paralysis disappeared, and she found
her health and her strength renewed and
her weight increased. Mrs. Stratton is
about 60 years of age and a more healthy
robust, and yonnger looking lady is eel.
doe sewn' at that age.
In reply to the reporter's question se
to what Pink Pills had done for his wife,
Mr. Stratton said, "Look at her, look ab
her, doesn't alio show it," and the report.
er could not but admit the truth of the
statement.
These pills are a positive one for all
troubles arising from a vitiated condition
