It bas atlwayli heels contended by Re- arineee that one of the rnost.objection- abie features of the Dgminion Fran - 'aloe Act, is the clause which allows people to vote, `whether they are actual residents of the municipality or not. When Viso provincial .Act was amend- ed, so as t4 make residence in a munici- pality, one of the grounds upon which ttie individual wasqualified to vote, it was ,a reform that was hailed with de- light by all parties. Those who have -taken an active interest in elections, know perfectly well that the great- est.trouble has hitherto been in get- ting^ in; the "outside vote." Largely, this difficulty has been done away With in Provincial elections, but it still exists in connection with the Domin- ion ones. The recent elections are an illustration of the difficulty experienc- in bringing in votes from all quarters of the globe, a difficulty that should re- moved, and once gone, much of the temptation to illegality would be re- moved. For instance, here is a man residing n London permanently, but who was residing in Clinton we will say, when the lista were made out. In the party interest he is brought up to vote. It does not matter for the sake of the ar- gument, which side he is brought for. Re may not have been pro nised any- thing by either side to cover his ex- penses, but all the same he expects to get it. When he goes to vote, he is challenged by one side or the other, just as his leanings happen to be, and he takes a solemn oath that he has not been profiiised anything to influ- ence his vote—which is possibly true; but tnere is a mental reservation that he expects something, and after he has got his vote safely in, he sees that he gets it, or a conditional promise of re- ceiving it. One of the election cases under trial has shown how railway tickets were distributed in the Reform interest. The general secretary bought them and sent them where wanted. It is well known that in the interest of the Conservative party Mr Binning_ jrham, Secretary, did precisely the same things • Now, teehnically, this is wrong. There may be no under influence used in supplyingaman with a,railway ticket, and it may not be with a corrupt mo- tive, but it is nevertheless contrary to the provisions of the act. Now this could be very largely ob- viated if the principle of the Provin- cial act was adopted. The Liberals have repeatedly tried to induce parlia- ment to amend the act in this respect, but so far it has refused to do so. If the act is to be maintained, it should be made more workable, and its objec- tionable features eliminated. It is hard- ly to be expected that the Liberals will not try to bring in every vote they possibly can, when they know that their opponents are doing the same thing, even though their doing so be wrong. Remove the tendency to wrong. De- stroy the opportunity, and elections would be much more agreeably con- ducted and with less tendencies of wrong -doing. What of the Future? i>lrie, the very impoverishment and depletion which the .system cause(+ be,... inK the evil seeurit for contlnu ante. But at last: the inevitable will come.. It will come, and when it does come it will not be an espial and hen.- orable union, it wig be annexation 'in-, deed. Howeyer Much the people may dis- agree with him, this much may be said in his favor, whatever his con - \actions, he is not afraid to express them, Unquestionably a large por- tion of our people will not agree with the views advanced in the above ex- tract. But they point to a conting- ency that people must sooner or later anticipate, The policy of the past cannot much longer be the policy of the future, for the very good reason that people are sick and tired of a policy that priduces no good results. The cities of the United States appear to be more prosperous than those of Canada. It may be in appearance only. But it is sufficient to induce many Canadians to ecome perma- nent and prosperous rdents thereof. The number that go is on the in- crease and no one can blame them for it. It is man's indisputable right to go were he thinks he can do the best. But is there no way of checking this exodus. If Canada and the United States were placed upon an equal footin% commercially, they would then be to all interests and purposes one, without the objectionable featur- es of political union. This commer- cial equality would stimulate trade and industry here, and develop our resources as nothing else possibly could. In point of natural resources Canada_ stands pre-eminent. But, unfortuate- ly, they cannot be utilized to the full- est extent, solely because the barrier s to trade will not allow it. Are these barriers to be removed and Canada to derive the benefit she should, or are they to remain up until what Mr Smith terms "the inevitable" is reach- ed. It rests entirely with the people to say. On Monday evening last, Prof. Gold - win Smith gave an address' before the Young Liberals of Toronto, and con- cluded it with the following words:— While I, gentlemen, am; leaving the scene, you are entering on public life. I would, with my parting words, con- jure you at all events to look facts steadily in the face, and make upyour mind one way or the other. Yu can afford to drift no longer. Whether your highest airn be to live and die British subjects, or to live and. die members of an Imperial federation, or to live and die Canadian freemen and citizens of this continent, firmly em- brace the policy which will lead you to that mark. Your people will not be content always to have poorer chalices and to be worse off than their neighbors. They are beginning to signify this in more ways than one, above all by the melancholy token of the exodus. Both Lord Durham and Lord Elgin told .you that it would be so. Both of them said that commercial reciprocity and equal- ity with the United States were indis- pensable. Blindness to the future often styles itself practical wisdom, but the title is usurped, and in no case -more usurped than in yours. The cen- ".sns tells us, with a clear, sad voice, what, if we take no thought for the future, the future is likely to be. For the few who profit by the system there may be large fortunes and baronial mansions in England, where they will win titles and social consequence by making Canada move, or pretending to make her move, in conformity with the interests of an aristocratic party in Great Britain. For the people at large there will be the inevitable fate of a country kept by artificial separation and restriction below the level of its continent in commercial prosperity and in the rewards held out to industry. There will be a perpetual exodus of the flower of our population to the more prosperous and more hopeful field; a very different, as all but Government journalists must see, from the shifting of population between different sec- tions of the same country. This loss of our most, active spirits will be at- tended with a political deadness, such as we already see accompanying com- mercial depression in those Maritime Provinces with which, under an evil star, Ontario has become politica& bound up. With the neediness df the constituencies venality and servility will increase, and the grip of corrup- tion will thus become stronger than ever. So things may go on for a long THAT LITTLE TICKLING In your throat, which makes you cough once in a while and keeps you eimstantly clearing your throat, arises from oatarah, and as catarrh is a constitutional disease the ordinary cough medicines all fail to hit the spot. What you need is e. constitu- tional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla. Many people who have taken this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia, lose of al pitite,and other troubles, have been surprised that it should cure this troublesome cough. But to know the actual cause of the 'cough is to solve the mystery. Many oases of con- sumption can be traced back to the neglect of some slight affection as this. Consump- tion can be controlled in its early stages, and the effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood, building up the gener- al health, and expelling the scrofulus taint which is the cause of catarrh and consump- tion, has restored to perfect health many persons on whom this dreaded disease seemed to have a firm hold. FOR SUNDAY CONTEMPLATION. One day is worth three to him who does everything in order. It is with happiness as with watches— the less complicated the less easily deranged. Raillery, like salt, should be used in moderation. Cynicism is old at twenty. Hypocrisy admits the worth of what it mimics with suoh care. What good is it to the bubble while it holds together, and what harm is it when it bursts ? The less of two good things becomes a positive evil, if we follow it to the neglect of the better. Bad men hate sin through fear of pun- ishment. Good men hate sin through very love of virtue. Suitably to'attune an instrument is the part of a musician ; to accomodate himself to every temper is the business of a wise man. ..,A lash in the band of a sick man and threats in the mouth of a fool are equally to be disregarded. An irritable man lies like a hedge log rol- led up the wrong way, tormenting himself with his own prickles. Wine diluted with water removes the burning heat of thirst, and gentle words pacify anger. Clouds sometimes obscure the sun, atd the passions sometimes darken the under- standing. There are times when even wormwood is more acceptable to the taste than honey, and circumstances sometimes render an enemy of more value than a friend. Long flowing robes impede the body, im- moderate wealth embarrasses the mind. lloatyarris4.. The abundal nee of Salmon this year on,the coasts . and in the rivers of British Columbia and the state of Washington is so G'r'eat asto be al- most incredible. The Port Townsend (Washington) Leader in a recent issue describes the situation in language recalling, the time when apprentices in England stipulated thatthey should not be compelled to eat salmon fpr more than three dinners a week. The Leader says: --"The present wonderful run of salmon has so glutted the mar- ket that for some time these silver - sided beauties have been selling at five cents apiece; but the price took a tum- ble, and several fishermen sold a boat- load of fine salmon, weighing 20 lbs. each; at a pitiful sum of lc apiece. One cent for 201b. silver salmon, the finest quality of that excellent fish, is the lowest price, perhaps, that a food fish ever sold for in this or any other coun- try; but salmon are so plentiful that people do not know what to do with them. It is estimated that enough fish could be taken there in one day to fill 1,000 barrels. Fishermen say say they can make "big money" by selling salmon at one cent apiece to the canneries if they will only buy all that they can catch. One man caught 14 with gill -hook attached to a hoe -handle, and another man claims to have found them in such numbers in shallow water in the Dungeness that he threw them out with a pitch- fork, and soon got fish enough to last his family for a month. Old residents say they never saw such qunatities of salmon before, and a full account of all that one can hear and see about this big run of salmon would sound like the most fabulous fish stories, and many persons cannot realize the mag- nitude of the salmon catch on the Sound this season." DOES PROTECTION PROTECT? Certainly, in one instance, it does. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the great protection aga'net the dangers of impure blood, and it will cure or prevent all diseases of this class. It has well won its name of the best blood purifier by its many remarkable cures. One morning while out gunning the writ- er and a friend were sauntering down a mountain road, while Diamond was left to follow with the buggy at his leisure. He was perhaps 100 yards behind us, when he suddenly stopped, threw up his head and neighed. As he refused to come on when we called we walked bank to see what could be the matter, and there, Lying on the road before him, was a small package which the writer had dropped from a pocket in pulling out his handkerchief, Whon the package was picked up the horse followed on without any farther hesitation. Perhaps the reader will say that horses have only instinct, and that this was a dis- play of it, but it strikes us that it was worthy of a better name. This is bray one instance in 1,000, and is introduced here merely to show that sagacity and inde- pendent thinking can be cultivated in a horse of average intelligence by gaining his confidence, teaching him to love yon, and not making a mere automatic ma- chine of him. Get acquainted with your horse and what a lovable companion he can be. You will be none the worse for the friendship, and it devolves upon you to see bat the horse is not, either.— [Peter f mith, in Philadelpnia Press ] WATCHING THE HOUR -GLASS. As a miser counts his gold, night and day, So I count the minutes told in the glass ; My eye is dim, my hair ie thin and gray, And I know I'm growing old as they pass. When we approach "the sere and yellow leaf" of our days, we are prone to look back regretfully. A clear conscience and sound health will lighten our gloomy reflections. Health is the greatest blessing—Dr Pierce's Gloden . Medival Discovery the greatest medicine. It arrests the progress of lung and scrofulous diseases,and cures consump- tion, or Lungsorofula, if taken in time. It is the king of liver invigorators and blood - purifiers, and a powerful tonic, building up the debilitated patient to perfect health. Contains no aloohol.

"Listed," as the brokers . say, at "100 Doses One Dollar," Hood's Sarsaparilla is always a fair equivalent for the price. A peculiar state of affairs prevails in the large village of Gojumura, Japan.

As David opened the door Field discharged the contents of the gun full in his face, blowing oat both eyes and literally denud- his face of flesh. David will probably die.
