C4t?i,rostio Most, FRIDAY, JAN, 10, 1896, Tun total number of business failures in Canada during 1896 were 1,923, fifty more than the previous year. Binns in their little nests agree And 'tie a ebatnefnl eight, When M. P.'s down at Ottawa •Fall ont and quarrel and fight. Oa page 6 of this issue may be found the particulars of the opening of the Do. minion Parliament including the speeoh from the Throne. The bill of fare is not long but if the House is not dissolved a lively wrestle is anticipated on the Rome • dial Order. Tia Dominion battle is on in West Enron, with M. C. Cameron and D. Weismiller as the respective oandidatee on the Liberal and Conservative aides. The former should win quite handily in view of his being a resident of the Rid- ing ; a tried man in the past ; in view. of the badly rattled condition of the Gov, consent ; and more particularly in the upholding of a polioy of retrenchment and legislation for the masses rather than the classes. We expeot to see M. O. Cameronreturned by a good majority. Tau POST very heartily approves of the good example set by the business men of Clinton on the matter of early olosieg. on Saturday evenings. By an agreement entered into all stores and shops are ex. peoted to be olosed on the ringing of the town bell at 9 o'clock, Tbis is as it ehonld.be as no good reasonoan be ad- vanced why business should be dragged oat until 11 o'clock or 'later ou the last day of the week, We should like to see the example of Clinton followed in Bone eels and other villages and towns in the, County as we feel assured the advantages to accrue by this plan will far outweigh the supposed profits realized by the late hours. ' Wn congratulate the people of this county on having pronounced definitely in favor of the erection of a House of Refuge. The returns are not complete, bat the municipalities of Downie, Elms/,. Ellice, Fullerton, Listowel, Hfitahell, Milverton, Hibbert and North and South Baethope have ail voted in its favor. These munioipalitiee have 20 representa- tives in the County Council, out of a total membership of 28, and their repre- sentatives will of course vote in conform • ity with the local poputar vote. This ie as far as heard from at time of writing, bat no doubt some at least of the re• maining maeicipalitiee of Blanchard, Morningtoc, Logan and Wallace will also be found to have voted yes. It would not be surprising if active steps were taken at the January session by unani- mous vote, to pueh . the project through with all reasonable speed. Again we congratulate and commend the good peo- ple of Perth County on their sensible, overwhelming vote in favor of a needed reform.—Stratford Herald. Anconnnaa to report the Dominion Cab- inet is anything but a happy family. Messrs. Foster, Tupper, Dickey, Monta- gue, Haggart, Ives and Wood tendered their resignations as Ministers and they were promptly accepted by Prouder Bowell, who has temporarily filled the vacancies. The bolters say they won't play in Mr. Bowell's yard any longer.. Re construotion of the Cabinet is talked of but the general opinion is that their breech is too wide to heal, especially with the fact staring the Premier in the face of being backed np almost entirely by the Lower Province members. It is not just now that disaffection has arisen as mem. ben of the Cabinet admit that the peace and harmony necessary to carry on a Government has not been known for some time at Ottawa. An appeal to the electors is the best way to ascertain what the country thinks about the ability of the present Administration to continue longer in office. The Ottawa correspond- ent of the Toronto Mail•Enipire, tele- graphing Monday night, eve" 'Che go. litical situation to is one of extra- ordinary complication, To all outward appearances the Government is in two camps, between which a complete recon. ciliation is absolutely impossible, while a partial reetoration of harmony on the old beak/ le, to eay theleast, at the present juncture, extremely doubtful There aro three elements at work. First, seven Mfnistere, who are exercising the Pune tions of Government ; secondly, seven resigned Minietore, whose friends/ declare poesese the ability of the Government ; and, thirdly, the Opposition, under the leadership of Mx.
