We do not clearly see how the Alliance could do anything less than this without •etultifying it- self. The Christian 'Guardian is not in polities, but we cannot see how any temperance Con- servative can possibly justify himself at the bar of his own conscience if he 6,agrees to ask less of his own party than what the Liberal party stands pledg- ed to ltrant. We cannot well hide behind the plea that_the Reform party is not sincere, as Mr.RowelPs private and public life make it simply impossible to hug this delusion. We do not see how any temperatipe man whose temperance principles are strong enough to influence his 'politics can fail to endorse the stand of the Alliance upon this point. EXPECTS HYDRO BY AUGUST.

What lo Take This Year Take this paper. Take comfort -If you can. Take things easy -within reason, Take the girl you love to be your wife. Take care of your health. It is the most valuable thing you have. Take a hint when it isintended for you. Don't wait to be knock- down. Take flattery as an insult, and an honest compliment as something to be grateful for. Take pains to be faithlul and con- scientious in business. It will bring you success. Take offence only at things worth being offended at. It is a sure evidence of a small mind to notice trifles. Take hold of any work that comes to your mind rather than be dile. Luck always waits upon the busy. /r Take time to be polite and kind always. 'Rudeness never pays; the boor may think so, but he is wrong. Take trouble like a man. Dont go whining about when it comes. but shut your mouth and stand up under it resolutely.

P N V Beaton, 200; Eleanor Plumsteel, 194; WARRANTS ISSUED FOR THE ARREST OF GRAND BEND HOTEL- The above appeared in Tuesday evening Toronto Star and of course relates to a tale that is mot new to the citizens of town. Evidence Taken. Last Friday morning at 9 o'clock Judge Holt opened up the Local Option investigation in the town hall to a select audience. Mr. Jas. Haveison, K. C., and Mr. 'Charles Gamow had charge of the case for the hotel -keepers while Mr. Wm. Proudfoot, K. C., M. P. P. Appeared for the Temperance people. Mandamus Granted. Judge Holt reviewed the case from the time he was called to cone duct the Scrutiny up to the present time and read the mandamus grant- ing him the power to conduct the investigation as regards certain alleged irregularities in St. John's Ward, Witnesses Called. Mr. D. L.. Macpherson, the Town Clerk was the first witness and stated the mode of procedure that he had followed for years past in regards to the placing away of the ballot boxes in one of the ;police cells after an election. Constable R. Welsh, Night Watch man, upon being examined stated that he was doing day duty at the time of the election and the follow ing week, so that there was no night-watchman for several days. Deputy -Returning Pf Seer, J. C. McMath, Poll Clerk H. 'Alexander, Scrutineers C. Streets and W. Cochrane, Councillor Ford, and ex - councillor Thos. tjackson jr., were all examined and (cross-examined as to the way the poll had been conducted and the count made. Sensational Evidence. The sensation of the day was the evidence given by 0. B. Staunton of Toronto, a paper and hand- writing expert, who made a careful examination of the ballots with strong glasses and gave evidence to the effect that eleven ballots were undoubtedly tampered with, and the crosses ;Which- had been placed opposite the space for the by-law rubbed out' ,and another cross put opposite, and also that the new crosses were clearly the work of one hand; else that the two ballots which were ' marked both for and against had crosses which indicated that they were not both made by the one person. He suggested that if these ballots were photographed and enlarged it would be clear to alld as.to 'the 1 erasing. Mr. Proudfoot argued that the Court should hold that the evid- ence produced showed that the ori- ginal 'return should be accepted and this by-law declared carried.

Mr. James 'Severson said the case rested largely upon whether the deputy had properly read out the result of each ballot, as evidently there was so much confidence plac- ed in him that little 01 00 care had been taken to see that he had done his part correctly. He regarded the testimony of experts merely as a joke, but in this case there was no doubt that certain ballots had been changed, but the expert was unable to state when and how these changes had taken place. Judge •Holt said that to deliber- ately interfere with the "will of the people by changing their ballots was a detestable crime, and he would like to seethe Government conduct an investigation , in the case. It was the most unpleasant case he has had in twelve years, and would adjourn the court till March 22, at Godericla. LAURIER REPRESENTS PROVINCES.

What was thought to be chicken- pox has been prevalent for the past two months, but suspicions were first aroused as to the disease being smallpox, in the case of Regi- nald Taylor, 12 -year-old ton of ex- 1Reeve John Taylor. Dr.Quackenbush • was celled to attend young Taylor on Wednes- day, and fearing that the disease was more serious than chickenpox, summoned Drs. McGillicuddy and Synclman. On Thursday Dr, McNally, of Owen Sound, district health officer, was called. He in turn sent for Dr. 'Bell, provincial health officer, To- ronto, who, after eoesolation, pro- nounced the disease smallpox. It is supposed that et was brought to town lay a young man who recently returned from Manitoba to his home in Stephen Township. Dr.McGillicuddy stated that none of the cases were severe, and that all the patients are under strict , quarantine ana all are doing nicely, The town authorities are taking every precaution to prevent the disease spreading.
