I 116:••••••••, Editorial Nate and 0013amenti. The budget of correspondence an- t the Huron Registry appointment rccentiy laid before the House by the Government in response to Mr. ER- berts moiton, and which has been published in one of -the papers, is vastly more remarkable for what it does not contain than for what it does. A contemporary remarks: The Dominion and Provincial govern- ments, have too much patrondge at their disposal. Hence there is a ten- dency to erect the minister into a little tin god, and hence also the in- dependence of parliament is impaired by the preeience of merabers whose hopes are fixed on offices.. Any rea- sonable proposal for diminishing the patronage of governments ought to meet with public epproval." That is all true, and it is almost pathetic tcemotiee how quickly the " tin god" is converted into a moulten image when the mantle of office drops from bis shoulders. When thnpower to be- atic," but are part of the report go with it. Two very prominent ex- amples, Tarte and Foster. Mr. Lancaster, who represents Lin- coln in the Dominion Parliament seems to be one of the most wide Wake and useful members in the House. It was largely through his efforts thet the 'Ion g standing griev- ances of cattle guards on railway tracks and drainage across railways, were So satisfactorily settled. We notice that Mr.- Lancaster has intro- duced another very useful measure of a kindred nature, This time he pro- poses to compel" railways. to main- tain -watchmen at level crossings in cities, towns and villages. This is a most important and much needed measuree There are many of these crossings Which are positively dan- gerous without a watchman to warn those desiring te cross of approach- ing trains. There is just such a eros - sing on the Main street .in the town of Seaforth. It is little short of the eniraeulous that lives have not been sacrificed at this crossing many times. Mr, Lancaster is, evidently . not afraid of the railway corpora- • tions and he deserves well from his • constituents and more particularly the farmers in Lincoln and we hope he will be re-elected, Tory and all as he is, --- Referring to some of the absurd and fantastic proceedings repeated each year at the opening of the Do- minion Parliament, the Ottawa cor- respondent of the Toronto World says: "For some reason or other, those little forms of communicating messages between the two houses, the bowing and scraping of house of- ficials and their fantastic garb are earning more ridicule each year. If they rever lent dignity or impreesive- ness to the ceremony of opening par- liament the Sentiment cif a more practical and more democratic age las deprived them of their power to dignify and impress. It was a com- mon observation by leading members of the commons that 'a ceremony .which may once have served a sane purpose has de -generated 'into a farce, bringing ridicule alike on what should be a dignified proceeding,and subjecting offinials to needless em- barrassment." It has become a subjedt of gener- al remark that although the Ontario Legidlature has been in session now for about nine weeks, the Opposi- tion have only made two test mot- ions, although they have let slip sev- eral good opportunities of platting the Government and their supporters in a tight yosition. This extraordin- ary leniency on• ,the part •of Mr. Whitney and his follovvers cart hard- ly be accounted for except under one of three propositions, viz.; lht, •that the Opposition are so demoral- ised under Mr. Whitney's leadership as to be absolutely useless ; 2nchthat _Mr. Whitney has a trump card up his eleeee which he intend S to table before he session ,eloses ; 3rd, that there L4 a mutual: understanding be- tween r. Whitney and the leaders of t he Government that there will be a general mix-up after the ses- sion whichwill include some mem- bers of the Government and some members of the Opposition, or in ether word, a coalition. Time will tell which proposition is the proper one. The other day in the Ontario Leg- islature when the estimateof. the asylums were being considered, the Opposition discovered an item of $1100 which elicited -some remark and which should have been more severe- ly sensured than it, was. The l'ro- vinciaj explained that I he $90e had been paid -to flm publishere of "Hlturduy ;eight," a soeiel y pap- er published in Toronto and of which •Mr. E. E. Shepherd, who is perhaps more familiarly known as "Dor" is the leading spirit, Thpre. Were thief, of these articles, and each one °c- oupled about a page of the paper, They were descriptive of several of the asylums and other public insti- tutions a the Province. The write up was all right and the illustrations nere good, but we fancy that until now no person ever supposed tha t they were being paid for by the Gov- ernment at the rate of $300 per page, Jt was generally supposed they were •the fruits of enterprise of the paper itself. What good this expenditure is likely to do the Province it might be well for some person to explain. In the first place the piper is never seen by, nine out of ten of the elec- tors of the Province outside of the cities and larger towns and in the second place the institutions describ- ed and illustrated are not t he kind that require to advertise for pat ron- age. It is an entirely new departure and we fear it was undertaken M Or to conciliate the somewhat bit t or pen of " Den " than to advance tln. interests of the Province. This is sthe first time, mo far as is known, that the funds of the Province have ' been used in this -way and it should be the last. ;If the godel will of Don " and Saturday Night ean not bp; wen • retire cheaply the Govern- ment had better make up their mind to brave his displeasure.

The Farmers' Co-operative Har- I vestin.g Machine Cp., have now taken possession a their new premises at Whitby, .and have large consigd- merits of machinery and other mater- ial on the railroads en route to that place. They- have also completed con- tracts- for large orders of supplies which will be delivered at Whitby as fast as the railways can handle it. The company is still pushing the work of manufaeturing at the To- ronto shops to its full capacity in the meantime, but as soon as the con- gested conditions of the railways are over, the Toronto plant will be pul- led out and sent to Whitby.

AU druggists The Cost of the Liquor Traffic (Written 'for The Expositor.) The following is the cost of the liquor- traffic in Canada: Amount paid for liquor by consumers, $39,- 879,854; Value of grain, etc., destroy- • ed, $1,888,765; cost of proportion of pauperism, disease, insanity and crime •chargeable to the liquor trate: fice $3,014097 ; loss of productive la- bor, $76,288,000; loss through mor- tality caused by drink, $14,304,000; misdirected labor, $7,748,000. Total, $143,122,716. These figures are not compiled by any "temperance fan- atic," but are part of the report the the Royal Commission made to the Dominion Government and are, therefore well within the- -mark. When we remember that all the re- • venue Jim combined municipal, Pro- vincial and Dominion Governments derive from the traffic is barely *eight millions, we begin to realize enormous loss the country sustains through . this tipsiness. Take eight millions from one hundred and forty- three and you have a direct waste of one hundred and thirty-five million dollars every year. Suppose Cana- dian Missionary enterprises had even the one-tenth of what the liquor traffic costs us, it would mean an addition to the income of this form of Christian service of over fourteen millions per annum"; MOT0 than the church in the whole worlid gives to fulfil our Lord's last command, " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,' And MIS is not the only lois en- tailed. •Careful -calculations show that three thousand lives- are an- nually cut short by intemperance, each such death robbing the country of at least an average of ten years of productive power. More serious than all: "No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God." Surely it is the part of an good citizens to see to it that such a frightful source of waste and destruction is dried up.. Prohibition is the only cure. .5.M. • Tuckersmith. Another Huron Roy llonored.-We take the following from a Wheat- • land', Dakota paper. It refers to an old Tuckersmith boy and former • student of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute "We by mistake last week omitted mentioning the °ban- quet tendered Mr. W. J. Ford prior to that gentleman leaving the city of Wheatland for Washington where he has excepted a responsible ho- sit*with the Ellis Forth: Company, doing business at Loomis, Wenatchee and other points. The., Independent Order of Foresters' of which be is a valued member, gave a farewell ban- quet in honor of Mr. Ford.

While the wedding march was being played by Jane Curry, sis- ter of the bride, and the invited guests were waiting, the wedding party entered the parlor led by Rev. J. A. Doyle, who performed the cer- emony. The bride followed in the rear, leaning on the arm of her bra- t her, , Charles Curry. Thewedding party looked charming under a drap- ery of lace, and the bride looked handsome, dressed in cream serge, .1 -rimmed With silk, chiffon and rib- bon, with a flowing bridal vale caught Up with 'orange blossoms.

The music and dancing were kept up till daylight when all departed to their homes wishing the young cople a happy. and prosperous , 1 life together: .The presents were both numerous and costly, showing the epteem, in whiob the young peo- ple are held. The groom's present to the bride was al gold watoh ; to the bridesmaid, a gold ring and to the groomsman, a beautiful Orangeman's emblem. The happy young bride is a Hills Green girl who moved west a- bout two years ago. The fortunate groom is an old Palmerston boy, who went to the west four years ago,se,t- Wag two miles north of the city of M00.90 Jaw and is the owner of 480 acres of wheat land with 320 acres ready for crop in the spring. It is needless to say that the best wishes of many friends in this vicinity will be extended to the young couple. &ippon. D.
