It is true that the Govern- inent supporter was elected in St. Catharines but by a majority re dueed by 1200 from the general elec- tion of 1914, while his opponent, a labor mazn,. was practically an un- known; and a resident eof the riding, but a, short time. On the other hand in North Ontario, the Farmers' can- didate, Mr. J. W. IVIiddifeld, who the Liberal standard-bearer in 4, turned over the strong Conser- vative riding,- of the late Mr. Hoyle by a majority of 284. North Ontario was regarded by the Government a one of the best in the Province for the Conservative party and their de- feat is a bitter pin to swallow. This is the fifth seat the Hearst Govern- ment have lost Si/lee the last general election, the others being North Perth, South.-diest Toronto, Manitoulin and North Huron. ' THEIR, EYES ON THE SWORD Ttie*war 6S:brought not peace but a s :word to Union Government. This sword: is Criticism. There will be ,plenty of it this session. The good -old hush -husk -me -too days are over. The:signs of changed times are vis- ible Werywhere at the Capital.. The khalii has disappeared largely from theStr, pets. Most of the swivel -chair genets& and brigadiers have slumped bade. into "envies"; in which, truth to telly they do not look nearly so impos,,, ing.. prhe Minister of Militia does no stalk ,bout in unifom any longer. The Headioi4iters- tie has packed . its glory of brass and red tabs in.. the old tin )box it1t the moth balls and has become a lsober-hued citizen a- gain.. The ca.ptaies and the kings are departing as rapidly as possible. The four years war madness is over and reason is about to resinne her sway. Of 'course some ravages of war re- mamt-maimed Men, a staggering na- tional. debt, a huge pension list, high taxes, the forty-two and a half per cent tariff, the War Time Election Aet, the press censorship, various war board e and commissions ,and a raft of Orders -in -Council which look now like ugly warts on the fair face of. the British North America Act. Certain of these disfigurements are bound to disappear quickly. The maimed heroes, the national debt, the pension list and the high taxes, we shall have with us for years to come, but 1 misjudge the temper of this House if it doesn't make an early ef- fort to scrap the rest of the war ma- chinery. Government by order -in - council wanes. Parliament waxes, - and hit by bit, and quickly at that, we are tee get our shattered constitution back. Parliament has long had a Commit- tee 'on Expiring Laws. It never did anything. Most of the laws that were. due to expire died a natured death and were buried without ceremony. This Committee can do good work with the Orders -in -Council, some of which are half dead already, while others are black in the face, and others again gasp for breath. The Committee will not be arrested for murder if it hits ail of them, on the head and puts them out of misery. Nothing can be more ghastly than an Order -he -Council which hangs on with the death rattle in its throat. . - • Now that the war is over the War Time Election Act, looks like a had practical joke. The joke is on Union Government yv-hich expected to be elected for five years on a whittled franchise and now finds itself with perhaps a year's existence in sight and precarious at that. Union Govern- ment expects to survive this Session., but after that the dark. It lived by the sword -expected to go On 'dying by the sword, and now the swordeaa hideotei breach of faith with Theisen Government --throws it down by mak- ing peace ,with the Germans. If Un- ion Government perishes within the next eighteen months it will be be- cause the sveorcl was sheathed too soon tosuit its purposes. At all eveats the Opposition will say that a war- time Government has another guess keonaing if it thinks it has a four years' peace mandate and the Ginger Group. in the House headed. by Sir Sam Hughes and the Ginger Group outside, headed by the Hon. Bob -Rogers, will develop the same line of attack. One of the first things Parliament will take a kite at is the War Time Elec- tion Act. It has few friends on eith- er side -of the House. Of course all this is to say that party spirit is reviving_ One war is finished now let the other begin -the merry war of Grit and Tory that we have weged for fifty' years and have not tired of yet -not by a long way. Dummy numpty had a great fall; but Humpty bumpty, safe and sound, is back on his wall.

The partakers ef Union Government may have been educated to lofty heights of brotherhood and lovingekindness, but the people -never. They want their qearrels back --that bein*.about the only way they can get a frank discus- sion of public affairs. Thie is what Bob Rogers means when he says that he will wait and see what Sam Hughes means when he breathes slaughter and what. Dr Michael Clark means 'when he hints that Union Govern- ment is now "on its merits," Red Michael was, above all, a Briton when the trumpet sounded, but now he is a free trader and a Liberal and no doubt intends to cut loose. It bids fair to be a long session with plenty of plain talk from everybody con- cerned -a sort of ammunition dump for the next general election Which ,may be nearer than many peopel sur- mise. 4 A. heavy barrage fire will be direct- ed against the press censorship which has outlived its usefulness. Everybodyt in the House, except those hopelesely addicted to Union Government, will take a shot at it. The press censorship will die of shell - shock or worse and when it crumples some of- the worst of the Orders -in - Council willcome, clattering down with it. The War Measures Act, may stand up for a while but it will be tak- mg refuge in the reserve trenches. Onee the press censorship is destroyed, free speech bobs up and the sword Union Government fume inost--epen criticism -hangs ,heavy over its head. My information is that the Ginger Group will be the first to crowbar the lid and take this good, old reliable Be- celibur out of the box where Colonel Chambers keeps it When this sword is again suspended fromthe ceiling of \the Green Cham- ber,. the late lamented Damocles will ' have nothing on .linion Government for nervous anxiety. We can imagine them examining the suspensive thread every .day, expecting the knots, they have tied in it to strengthen the slen- der cord, and asking, while the cold sweat bedews their Manly brows, "well how is the little old sword this Morning?" For example Sir Thomas .White will look colsely at the cnot which stands for a forty-two and a. half per cent. tariff. How` long ,will it stay tiedd Will it fkay through? Will the western Unionists spill the beans? The Western Unionist, by the way, don't like their name. It sounds like a cer- tain American telegraph company and what they really want from new- on is wireless politics -which will give- the farmer is full rights and reduce the null of the Canadian Manufacturers Aseociation to a Minimum. It is only a question of time until the Western Unionists get back to those peaceful alignments and freer trade ideals which they intermitted while the war was being wont If the Finance Minis- ter desires the sword to remain where it is. hetwill probably shake a chiding finger at Big Budiness which wants war profits. to -continue after the war is Over, even if the Government has to dip into the Victory' Lean to "Stab- ilize prices" and cash the notes of shaky European republics. t • The Hon. Arthur Meignen will pay close atention to th-e knot labelled land _policy for returned soldiers: It seems to be very loosely eied.. The war ended too soon for the lion.Arthut. 'With Un- ion Government- safely.. :entrenched tem Minister of the Interior expected the- war to make good for a consider- able period.- The short, sharp way in which the Allies bit it off, at the first good chance, left Mr.' Meighen and his land policy very much up in the air. In fact he had no •pelicy and he had no land. He has had to make both up on the spur of the moment. He was in A ghastly state of unpre- paredness. Mr( Meighen will have to tie the knot pretty tight and very soon or the sword will come crashing down on that long clever head of his. Sir George Foster. if .he ever domes - out of his trance, will take a new turn in the knot, known as after -the -war trade. He has already realized that the Overseas Trade Cornmissiorewhich threatens to become permanent, and the War Trade Board, which was a special Band of Hope to corral Eur- opean business, have not earned their salt and that the only way to drum up trade for Canada is for the Can- adian Manufacturers to send 'their own commercial travellers after it. He has realized it -as certain cable des- patches indicate -but will he act upon it? - If he doesn't down comes that cruel sword on his revered. but leth- argic cocoanut. And last, but net least, Newton Wesley Rowell, king. of the uplifters, will look closely to prohibition. The knot is slipping. If Leader Rowell doesn't make haste to tie it the people of this country will presently be vot- ing the way they drink and that Will be a cold day for the water -wagon. F, G. NM- CONSTANCE Successful Concert -The entertain - men given in the Methodist church, on Wednesday evening of last week, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid was a decided success. A good pro- gramme was given. The main feature of the evening was a play entitled, -The Busy Ladies' Aid," and the way it was rendered reflects much credit to the performers. Several others took part in the programme namely, Mrs. (Rev.) Sawyer, who gave a well ren- dered solo. Rev, Mr. Sawyer gave a Selection on the flute. Master Lorne Dale delighted the audience with a couple of selections on the violin, and the hearty applause which was given little Miss IVIelda McElroy of Blyth, afte . each recitation, showed how much she was appreciated, We pre - diet for this _little girl a brilliant futtire.- The proceeds of the evening amounted to something over forty- three dollars.

MacGillivray, of St. Themes, gave a very highly appreciated ac- count of his experiences as chaplain in Trance andT Belgium. The whole dis- course was designed to give one .a fine understanding of the real worth of the soldier boys, of their sacrifice, their endurance, their bravery„ their nobil- ity. At the openoing of the meeting Mrs. Butt sang a very pleasing and apprepriate solo. The two churches and the Patriotic Society of the vill- age, took advantage of the lecture to weladine home our first two soldier boys to return, Edkar Lovett and Her- bert Morrow. On behalf of these so- cietiest Mr, W. 11. Johnston bespoke a right royal welcome and Dr. Aitken presented some little gifts that these societies had provided and all showed their appreciation of the boys by a ringing clap of the bands.

Union Stack Yards, Toronto, February 18. - The break in cattle values which was likely -to happen any day, came this morning, when 50c was loppeffoff last week's prices for srime cattle and 75c was taken off all other grades of butcher steers and heifers. Coves and bulls were about steady and fairly active. At no time during the morning was the demand for bitchy cattle and export steers anything but slow, even when the lower values were in force, and UP tO the noon .hour very few loads of butchers had been sent over the scales. Later n the daY trade among the steersand heifers gecame more active, but several loads were unsold at -the close.- Choice heavy, cattle, for the export trade were not nearly so numerous as 'last Monday, nor was the general quality so good, and the recessions vs%re in accordance with quality. The firm which during the past three weeks has been shipping fairly heavily into the United States did not show the same activity this morning, which afforded the ;suggestion that this outlet for heavy cattle hao been pretty much cur - 'tailed, dor the present at least. While the trade was slow for butcher cattle, cows and bulls shet with a fir demand at prices in keeping with last weals's. Several loads of canners could have been disposed of. . . The'hang- up among the butcher cattle gave the operators among stockers and feeders a chat* they have not had km several weeks, but the demand for both classes continued slow, with prkes weaker, in keeping With those offerel for - killing cattle. Trade' in . thilkers and springers was of little account.
