Shoemaker's Faults
AND OTHERS.
A great many people go on berating their
their shoemaker for poor' fitting shoes,
whereas in the majority of cases the fault is
not the shoes but the sox, or rather the
hose. Being men's furnishers, we make a
study of what fits and wears in Hose, as
well as in any of our other lines, nod in any
of the following quotations we know that
every pair will fit and wear to the full ex-
tent of the amount you pay for each article:
.7 1[
An all cottonAine, heels and toes, .
in colors, 3 pairs for 25c
Hernsdorf black cotton hose,
2 pair, for 25c
A better line at 25c a pair.
3 pairs of Black Cashmere for $1
A great number buy this line.
Ask for No. 112 if you are hard on
hose and, you want fine "goods.
This line will cost you 50c a pair.
And about the other faults, well it's not
so much the faults as the lack of any fault
that we want to talk about in connection
with our Shirt department. Numbers have
told us, "Why I used to have to send away
for my shirts to get the goods and patterns
that suited rne, but your line this year is
most certainly satisfying." The prices
range at $1, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75.
In our Clothing department when we wish
to prevent faultless value, we show our $7,
$10 and $12 suits our own make You have
heard no fault found with our boys' school
pants at 50c and 75e.
We will leave it with the wash tub to find
out the faults, if any, in our line of men's
4 -in -hand Ties at 3 for 25. To be brief,
where a fault is there shall sveihe to correct
it aleo. •

The Slater Shoe.
It's surprising how jealous local shoe
dealers have become of the Slater
shoe, principally because of the
very large sale of these shoes in
Seaforth. We noticed recently
a local advertisernent, offering the
Slater $4 Ft100 for $3. Of course,
they were not the genuine im-
proved Slater shoe, as we have
been appointed the sole and only
authorized agent for the sale of
the stamped Slater shoe in Sea -
forth. -In this age of the world
no one wants old stock or out-of-
date goods, even if you can buy
them at cost. In buying the
Slater shoe, ask for the new im-
proved, for sale only by

Independence of ' arli ment.
DEAR EkPoSrroR.-!-The Ne Era and
Signal have for some time ast been greatly
exercised in regard to th regi trarship of
Huronand independence o Per lament, and
are airing their opinions in style very
characteristic of the tw me ; the one
takinga highly moral tone in keeping with
his cloth; the other cheeki y a,btsive. They,
seem to take it ,for granted that Mr. Gibson
is to be appointed regist ar, (an appoint-
ment Which, by the way, would giveleatis-
factionii. to pine -tenths ofj. th electorate,
•whate er their political pini ns may be.)
Now, eir, as far', as Mr. Gib on i concerned,
it must be conceded thatl his Junawerving
support of the Governmei4t ha been from
conscientious principles, a dnt from any
hope a ultimate reward, nd it seems to
Inc an utrage t
ii
hat any ma eleeted to the
Legisl ture should there y e debarred
from ecepting a positioi to hich any of
the electorate is eligible. • le wo Id, in fact,
be de riving him of on of hie glorious
privileges as a Canadian,vii ,tha ' of aspiring
to anY office however hig . he press is
the gr at power in 'moulding pu lie opinion;
but i is essential for ne spaper if it
would accomplish much ii th s line, that
the opinions it enunciates hall be for the
public l good, and not for th pur se of pri-
vate aggrandizement,or to loice he personal
malice of its editor ; and eliove 11 that it be
above the suspicion of venalit or corrup-
tion, and thoroughly indep ndent of govern.
ment siid or control. I wo Id ask the edit-
ors of these two poweef 1 organs, where
they mild draw the line; s tol who should
be app inted to governmen offiees ? It can
not be at editors, for my fr end of the Era's
father as held for some ye rs and still holds
a gove ment dace, and h was himself an
appli�4nt for the inspector hip, of prisons,an
oce1 have no doubt he osiijl have filled
with c edit to himself a sd ! p ofit to the
prisoners. . My other edit° ial f iend of the inspiring
Signal forgot, when he as or
writing the McKillop P troie's letter, to
mentipis the fact that' his rother was hold-
ing down !a government situation to the
tune of a $1,000 per annu . Very worthy
men doubless, but what id they ever do
for the Reform, party, mo e than hundreds
of the rank and file, to entitle them to
these e °laments. Was it the e itorial WE,
or witch it simply a case of the- idow's im-
portunity that got them thes positions?
Den has any amount of ability, oupled with
colossal cheek, and is a t orotgh editorial
free laoce, but 1Dan McGi iicud y, registrar
of Huron, would be a, " pec acle for gods
and men," or at an Irish rien tersely puts
it, " 'would be like mnke3fs playin' at
sojers," and because the gov rnment does
not seefit to pension him ff w th an office,
he abuSes the man he tiink4 will get it.
This is part Of -the rec rd f these two
purist, and one would b.apt o think that
they look upon gonernr ent Ioffices as an
editoriel preserve in whicl th y can shelve
their relatives • and the selves ; and their
puny editorials, instead o beitig a reflex of
public opinion are I int ndeoli simply to
frighten away poaelters from I what they
consider their .peculiar dor ain.
