It looks as if they think "Ws the money that talks" too. TUESDAY. next will witness the final tussle for the Presidency iu the neighbor- ing Republic. Both parties appear con- fident so surprises are awaiting somebody, The great working °lass appear to be strongly in favor of Mr, Bryan. This quadrennial tight must tell very seriously on the trade and commerce of the United States as in many places business is about at a standstill Saar. people say that Mr, Wainwright, a former Grand Truuk Railway official, may be appointed Deputy Minister of Railways and Canals under Tion, Mr. Tarte, of the Dominion Cabinet, He should fill the bill competently. The more practical men called to these impor- tant offices the greater probability of suc- cess attending their plans. This country bas had enough of experimenters holding portfolios and prominent planes of trust. SPAIN and Uncle Sam. have been mak- ing faces at one another and came within au 1100 of having a rumpus. The former blames the latter for aiding the insurrec- tionists of Cuba both by their sympathy and powder and ball. Of course the stronger opposition an the part of the Spaniards is in supplying fire -arms. It is not improbable that the United States may urge the independence of Cuba and Spain does not appear to be iu shape to back up a refusal of such a proposition. TIM world moves and one of the in- stances of noticeable advancement is the fact that York County has decided to do away with toll gates on their roads. This certainly speaks well for the enlighten- ment of the people who live so close to the Provincial capital, even if they are many years behind their neighbors in finding it out. The Good Roads' Asso- ciation may claim some creclit for the abolition of these relics of pioneer days by their discussions of practical improve. rnents of the highways but the decided objection of the public generally no doubt hastened the clay. Tr is said, on good authority; Ghat the English and Scotch farmers are urging the necessity of more restrictive laws by prohibiting the Ianding of cattle or sheep by foreigners even for slaughter. The Minister of Agriculture has been asked to protect the home farmer and breeder by the above means. If such becomes law it shuts off entirely the outgo of live stock from Canada and the United States and ties these countries up to the dead meat trade. Seeing, however, that Great Brit- ain has imported already this year 72,000 cattle and 550,000 sheep from Canada, and 808,000 cattle and 235,000 sheep from the United States, the Board hesitates to adopt so decided a protective policy on the mere pretext of risk of disease. Rt. Hon. Walter H. Long, the President of the Board, has, however, pledged the Govern- ment to earnestly consider the proposal to brand colonial and foreign meat stores, hoping thereby to prejudice the consumer against them.

To the Editor or Tan Pon: Than Sri,—Tun POST of Oct.16th con- tains a letter over the signature of "Elect- or" and under the title "A game of Bluff." I think a letter of bluff would have been a bettor title, for it appears bine from etarb bo finish. When I first read Eleat- or's letter I thought that it meant Mr. Farrow had spoken on different platforms during the oampaign, but after reading Mr. Farrow's letter in the Herald, which stated that outside of Brussels, Walton was the only place where he gave an ad- dress. I then took another look at Eleab- or's letter, which appeared composed of bluff, hints and misleading insinuations. Here is some of what Elector says :—"Or to any one who could prove that he hall persistently interrupted a Liberal speak- er at a meeting during the campaign to such an extent that some of the electors felt that he would have been properly treated had he been quietly removed from the building." The electors could hardly feel that way for they knew it was Mr. Dickinson's meeting. Now, Sir, as your correspondent had the honor of pre- siding at that Walton meeting, and in justice to Mr. Farrow, I may state that he acted in a gentlemanly manner and did not persistent) interrupt a Liberal !Tooker, bub Mr. Darrow was repeatedly interrupted by parties in the audience, so much so that 011 one occasion he left bhe platform and invited the party who was then interrupting to come on the platform and say what he had to say. When Dr, McDonald held his meeting in Walton, although the room contained a good many Conservatives, there was not one dissenting voice. What a contrast. At present the air seems full of rumors of longing eyes on the postofiice and greedy hands ready to grab 16. It was not so in Conservative times, for if I remember rightly J. R. Grant, although belonging to the other side of the Rouse, enjoyed the benefits of the ppostoffice until he Ichose to resign, which is another great contrast. In conclusion I may say that any person who would pen such a letter without a name, as Elector's, with bhe supposed intention of injuring an un. offending neighbor, ought to be ashamed and should crawl into some kind of a hole and draw the hole in after him. Hoping, Mr. Editor, you will kindly give space for these few lines, Yours Respectfully, Jaaras BOLGER, 001. 24, '05. V$L1E.on. CormrLEolc>.—The following resolution of condolence was passed at Court Walton, No. 172, 0. 0. P., at a previous meeting and reed and a Dopy presented to W. J. Smith, of Walton :— Aro. 1V. J.

History has repeated itself daily since then. The live business man is the man who Advertises and is never left ; the live Shopper is the one who reads the Advertisements of the ;live Adver- tiser, and prospers accordingly.
