CRTC Mr115s zs BtSt, R.T IDA.Y, (7UNE 26, 1896, Melfm er is a fibrous candidate for the Presidency of the United States at the present, as may be seen by tho report of the Convention on page 0 of this issue, but before oleotion day bobs around the wind may:blowin another direction. The silver ynestion will be one of the leading. planks. After the Demoorats got their man in the field the fun will commence; Next Wednesday will Asher in the nth birthday of this great Dominion and it should be loyally observed by every citizen of the land of the Maple Leaf, "Tho Scot may boast his heather hills, The Englishman his rose ; And Erin's sons may love the vales Where Erin's shamrock grows, But Canada, loved Canada, The fairest of the free, There's nob a land however grand Can win my heart from thee." LORD DcrrnurN, who has about com- pleted bis term as British ambassador in France, has been the recipient of many kind words from that nation for the able manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office and general regret that he will shortly have to leave. If more persons filling these important positions were built on practical lanes like Lord Dnfferin, the countries so represented would receive good value for the salaries paid instead of what is the rule in many cases now, owing to the appointment of snobs, who do little more than draw their salary. Tar•, result of last Tuesday's Dominion election campaign was a most decisive blow at bull -dozing and interference on the part of Sir Charles Tupper on the one hand and a desire to get rid of a Gov- ernment that had virtually run to seed as people commonly say. It was a hard fight since the dissolution of the House but the Liberals presented an unbroken front, lead by the high minded, clean banded, clever Wilfrid Laurier as com- pared to a badly broken up party whose record in the House at the last session was a discredit to themselves and the grand Dominion they were misrepresent- ing. But the people have spoken in a clear, umnistakable manner and es are- sult the Liberals will sit on the Govern• went benches. Not one but every Prov- ince has had a hand in the victory, • and with such creditable majorities as to convince Hon. Wilfrid Laurier that his platform and policy is looked to as the panacea for the ills that as Canadians we have been heir to for a number of years. The victory is all the more glor- ious considering the odds in favor of the Government in the shape of the Fran- chise Lists and Gerrymander Act. We expect that they will put into practice at an early date, the promises made in Cur- tailing useless expenditure and abolishing extravagance. Loaded with debt as Can- ada is it will require very careful financ• ing and economical management to re- duce this burden, Parliament will pro- bably be called shortly and a Cabinet got into working shape. The result as for as known when we went to press is Liberals, 120 ; Conservatives, 80 ; Independents, 8 ; and Patrons, 4. We hope a time of prosperity, despite the many dark and dire predictions of the Conservatives, will dawn upon every Province of the Do- minion and that peace and plenty will be the portion of all who reside within its borders.

A bad business seeks its profits in not being known in its methods to its customers. What is lacking is confidence ; so it conies to pass that the advertisement which deals with facts in the Plainest possible way is the advertisement which in the long run will turn trade that way, in fact there is not a store in Brussels big enough to hold the trade that'll accumulate along the lines of Per- fect Confidence.
