Sia Commas Torun was elected for
Cape Breton, N. 8,, by a majority of over
'700 last Tuesday in a bye election, Tris
predecessor had about the same majority.'
Panrn COUNTY will erect a hones of
Refuge. A committee was appointed to
look up a site and a special meeting of
the Connell will be held in. the Spring to
settle the location and receive and award
tenders for the new building.
SM Omura Mown has entered on the
twenty-fourth year of his Premiership of
Ontario. His grand record has nob been
equalled in the history of responsible
government. Tho Provincial Legislature
will meet at Toronto next Tuesday.
TM] N. P. does not appear to be doing
a great deal for the mercantile interests
or this great Dominion, judging by the
large number of business failures report-
ed almost every day. The National Pol-
icy has evidently not enriched the merch-
ant to any alarming extent.
Trim Dlitaheli Advocate prophesies that
Dr. Macdonald will be defeated in Bast
Huron at the next Dominion election.
Mr. Advocate, your faith is stronger than
the gentleman's who will oppose the Dr.,
or bis most ardent supporters, but as
anticipation is often sweeter than parti-
cipation we will allow you all the com-
fort that the former affords.
ABOUT $8,000 has been collected by the
Montreal Witness toward an Armenian
relief fund. The boasted civilization of
the 19th century has been disgraced by
the atrocities perpetrated upon the Ar•
menians, and the Christian nations of the
world should hide their heads in shame
for permitting Turkey to carry on such a
black hearted program of butchery. The
dark ages knew nothing worse.
TILE Pose anticipates that motile near
future the corporation will have to place
a set of weigh scales in the G. T. R. yard
for the convenience of stock shippers, as
the present system of weighing down
town is not considered satisfactory, ow•
ing to unloading and driving to station.
The scales would not necessarily be of
greater capacity than 2 ton and the ono
weightnaster could attend to both sets.
The village Council will probably discuss
the question at its next meeting
Tux editor of the Clinton News -Record
is a queer fellow. As long as be is rub-
bing it into somebody else he's in great
fettle, but as soon as the fire is turned
the other way be dodges and squeals in e
very sad style. He, along with two other
Clintonians, wired N. Clarke Wallace to
have Newman, the P. P. A. candidate in
West Huron, taken out of the field to
save Weismiller's political head. Since
the story got out Mr. Todd has stoutly
denied it and grew very indignant when
the Goderich Signal brought it home to
him, but Mr. Newman has a copy of the
telegram and says the report is true,
The Record man had better quit reading
lectures to his brother journalists.
Huron County jail at Goderich is load-

mibted by the Police Magistrate of that
town, for terms varying from 1 to 3
months. These hulking, shiftless fel-
lows are apparently something like
Noah's dove from the fact that they have
no place to rest their feet in the Winter
season only snugly housed, warmly cloth-
ed, and well fed in the jails of this or
other Counties. This state of affairs is
dseidedly wrong, in our judgment, as the
expense of keeping these tramps is abou b
$3.00 each a week, and there is little or
nothing for them to do. The Co. Coun-
cil ordered some stone for the jail yard
and the lubbers will have the pleasure of
lugging it from one end of the jail yard to
the other by way of giving them exercise,
and perhaps making jail life not so de.
sirable as it has been in The encourage-
ment of laziness. We don't believe a

The Dominion Senate has adjourned

The pay of members will go on all the

for a oountry in Canada's ciroumstunces

We receive the best possible treatment
in the British markets. We can ask no.
thing more, and it is e, laoghablo piece of
presumption to ask that the British peo-
ple tax themselves to increase the 'price

At the grave, Mr. Alger, a Secularist

FrEISTL FINEN PAY Ula.
Our best thanks are due to those of our
subscribers who have renewed their sub.
soriptions for the current year, but , there
are yet many who have failed thus far to
comply. with the requirement of paying
for their local newspaper in advance.
They pay for their daily or their city
weekly in advance, bub they never think,
of treating their local 'newspaper in the
saine business -like manner,
As a result of this a sum whioh ought
to be in the bankto the credit of Tim
Posen is scattered over the country
amongst subseribers, who sympathize
with the paper and patronize it by taking
it, but who neglect to pay for it in ad-
vance, and who do not realize that al-
though $100 or $1,60 is a small, sum in
individual interests, yet single subscrip-
tions from 600 pay in advancesubscrib-
ere means a bank credit of over $2,000 to
aid in making the paper better and bright.
er as the weeks roll by.
Of course we deal with all grades and
conditions of men, and although an angel
couldn't work a scheme to suit all news-
paper subaoribers alike, many subscribers
thick the editor ought to be able to do so.
Oue roan' will write wanting to know why
his paper has been continued after the
term for which be had paid had expired,
and the same mail will perhaps bring a
protest from another man remonstrating
because his name was out off from the
list, and asking in most sarcastic terms
if a man with an unencumbered 100 acre
farm was not oousidered by the editor,
good for a measly $1.50 subsoription
without having to pay in advance.
By stopping some men's newspapers,
when they carlessly let them fall into ar-
rear, youmay make them enemies forlife,
and by keeping another .man's name on
the list a week•or two longer than the
time subscribed for causes him to believe
that you'want to Jew him out of another:
year's subscription. Between the two it
is diffioult to decide what to do.
Our request now is that all those whom
we have so far favored, make an effort to
pay us up in full within the next 10 days.
We want money, and we want it a great
deal and very quickly..
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE PAY UP.
