A copy of the B 1 that is before
the Ontario Legislature reeuecting
the `use of tobacco by minors, has
been' received by Vrte Nuws En-
QQltn, Under‘ its provisions any
Peron supplying•tobacco to boys
utter 18 'pare of ageis liable to a
p nala of not less than $10or more
than! ,9: Any person actually or
• apparautly under eighteen years of
age, who has in his possessionor
smokes, or iu any way uses, in a
,publiostreet or public plane, cigar-
ettes, cigars or tobacoo in any form,
shall, upon summary conviction.
therefor, be subject to a penalty of
not Ides than $10 or more than $50
for ,every offence. We are afraid
that if tho bill becomes law, which
ie Immured it will beoaueeit i,e a Gov-
. erument measure, it will be a dead
letter. ,
Our Grit friends are going to have
a p,t-office built in Clinton by the
Government They say it was pro•
mired during the election. If it
was promised by anyone it was by
the Grits. Neither Mr. Patterson
icor his supporters hold out any
such inducement. But as attention
is sailed to this matter in a letter
in another column we may
say the question has been
talked of for fire or six yeare. If a
mixed delegation of Reformers and
Conservatives were to interview the
member for West Huron they should
be able to snake out a good case.
Clinton has never received a grant
from any Government for any pur-
pose whatever, and from its central
location a considerable public busi-
ness is done here which would be
much facilitated did we have more
commodious promises. We have a
postmaster and deputy whose con-
sideration for the public cannot be
exceeded in the Dominion, and they
deserve a "cage" eommensurate
therewith.
Last week Montmorency and
Brome went Conservative by sc•
clamation. The former seat was
held last session by renegade Tarte-
and the latter by aConservative who
had a majority of one over Fisher,
Grit, who held the seat for ,several
parliaments. Then Pridham boat
Trow,in South Perth by a majority
of 15, though Trow had a purchased
Grit majority of 176 in 1891, and
Boyle, Conservative beat Brown,
Saturday by 323, where the Grit
candidate had 260 majority in 1891.
And W. Northumberland gave 62
majority for Gnillett, Conservative,
where Hrgraft, Reformer, had 37 in
1891. Yea and verily the 'mice of the
people is the voice of God. And they
have spoken with no uncertain
sound in favor of the policy of the
Conservative party and the honest
administration of the affairs of the
_.�.�.r- �,�-..- s ... _, .,. L.
Dominion the tibott Govern=
ment. Whatever the sins of otitis.
Bion or commission former Govern-
ments at Ottawa may have been
guilty of the present one halt shown
a commendable desire to reform the
civil service and religiously guard
the expenditure of the people's
money.
i, their busiueas.. Bnt it would, .be
manifestly unjust to . loan theta
the money of the people at a low
rata of interest to compete with
privateinilividuale legitimately
engaged in bueiness and who con-
tribute largely to the Public revenue,
a portion of which the patrons ask.
for, If the Government should
lona the 'patrone money at. 2-i pee
cent, they should in all fairness loan

rate. And where would .this end 1
"A gentleman farmer near Armstrong's
nails had as exciting hunt after a fox the
other day which had been prowling
around his premises. He is poseesaed of
a good steed, two or throe fine hunting
dogs and w first class gun. He discover•
ed the track and put the doge on it.
They immediately secured the scent and
followed it up, the farmer on horse -book
keeping close behind. When the fox
cattle near the farmer raised his gun and
pulled the trigger. There was no re•
port The second trigger was pulled.
andthe only rtsponse was the click of
ths.haniuler un the nipple. The sports-
man same to the oontluaion that he for-
got to put oartridges into his gunbefore
starting, and had none with him. Of
course the fox escaped."
The above might do for a parabie
of the doinge of- Her Majosty'a
Opposition in the bye -elections.
They weut t gunning for Conserva•
tive caudidates. They were loaded
not only for foxes but for "bar",
They armed themselves with the
weapons of commercial union, un-
restricted reciprocity, continen-
tal free trade and discrimination
against Britain, They tracked their
game from the bask concessions to
the villages, towns and cities—from
the public platforms to the polling
booths—They pulled the triggers of
their little guns, They were load -
ed, it is true, but the cartridges were
blank, merely powder, and while
the sxplosious were harmless to their
opponents in every instance, in
most of cases there appears to have
been an overcharge of powder and
the durned guns kicked back most
viciously and slaughtered the
sbootiste. Mr. Cameron's little gun
was loaded with a charge 500 times
greater than ho thought was necessary
to effect hie purpoee, but the weapon
kicked back most terribly and left
him prostrate on the political shore
where, should rho ebbing waters
ever reach him, they will never bo
able to resuscitate him. Flounder
and kick as he may, and paw he
the sand never so angrily and
vigorously, he is but scooping out a
political grave for himself where
the surge of pubiic opinion will bury
him ; while even his bitterest oppou•
eats will lament that his troubled
spirit and misdirected ambition
should have terminated in such a
sorry ending, and will content them-
selves with Baying reguieacat in pace.
The Shareholder and Insurance
Gazelle, of Montreal, pointedly
calls attention to the inevitable
failure that will attend the efforts of
the Patrons of Industry in their
endeavor to conduct mercantile
business. The losses which the
grangers and the Farmers' Alliances
on the other aide of the line have
sustained are referred to as proof
that sub associations cannot succeed
in business ventures for which those
engaged in them have had no
previous training or experience.
It has been proved that the class of
merchants who will accede to their
demands to furnish goods at an ad•
vance of 121 per cont have to resort
and do resort to fraudulent invoices
to appear to do this. The journal
referred to truly says :
"Competition is strong enough to
prevent either wholesale or retail
merchants from making money too
fast, and if these patrons don't be-
lieve it lot them go into business
with their own money and they will
soon find themselves wiser and
sadder men."
This is a correct view
considered that the patrons ask the
Government to loan them money at
21 per cent which would be used in
competition against business men
who pay 6 por cont for money. If
the patrons nee their own money to
engage in speculative ventures the t
