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. Lttutier."
