FATAL LA GRIPPE!
HOW TOSf al i IT OFF.
It is conceded bypeople generally
that
THE BEST LIQUORS
should be legitimately taken to ward
off that dread disease, La Grippe.
WE HAVE THEM:
The very best qualities at the lowest
possible prices. If YOU are in any
way interested, you will su'r'ely make
a great mistake if you do not call at
The CLINTON LIQUOR STORE
An ounce of prevention is better than
a pound of sure. Do not allow your-
self to get tbo Grippe.

Grieve, of North Perth, was not
unseated because of free railway
pasties given by his agents to voters,

ter the elector had said he would not
otherwise do so.
Philosopher Mille' latest plea for
uureetrioted reciprocity seems some•
what like that given below. If he had
only spoken so lucidity as this
when he was up in Huron during
the recent elections, tho Hon. J.
C. Patterson might have met with
a reverse. But it is too good to hold
back any longer. Here it is :
rSo Iet us thank the God of all mercy
and grace thatthere is a welling up
from the deer, exhaustless fountains
of human fellows1 ip that here and
throughout our land there is ever a
welling up and overflowiag'from the
profound, mysterious sources of our
common ancestry or kindred birth
and blood, our common or kindred
inheritance for unaccounted ages of
the slow upbuilding powers that
blend the heart, mould the •minds,
knit domestic bonds, and consolidate
and ameliorate the social structures
of the advancing foremost races of
mankind and of that fraternal affec-
tion and fraternal peace, of which a
continental union would be a politi-
cal type, its justice their sanction, its
liberty their law."
Philosopher Mills, Laurier and
other seekers after a constitutional
grievance have fallen back upon the•
last of the thousand strings that
was going to hurl an iniquitous and:
tyrannical government from power.
They introduced into the House
nein the old bogie that Canada
cannot make treaties without the
coeeent of the Imperial government.
Supposing we had the power to do
so who would enforce them ? Cer-
tainly. not England who had not
been consulted. But tide is a worn -
out subject. No State of the Unit-
ed States oae,mako a treaty with a
foreign pewter, And when the
Federal Government at Washington
does make one it does not consult
any individual "soverign" State.
Relatively the Colonies stand in the
same position to the Imperial Parlia-
ment or Executive that the
several States stand in to Con-
gress and the Executive at
Washington. With this difference
that Canada is always consulted and
asked for suggestions anent any
proposed treaty which Britain may
be negotiating,and full weight given
them. Whereas the individual
sovereign States of the Union are
never consulted by the Federal
powers-•xt.. ,Washington°: -in. -.Beaty
making, The British Constitution is
an'un written elastic accretion of the
best thought and the largest ex-
perience : the American Constitu-
tion is a written and definite instru-
ment as far as it goes, and where it
lacks definiteness what is wanting is
supplied by tho unwritten constitu-
tion of the oldest constitutionally
governed country in the world. In
no nation in the 'world has an in-
ferior legislature as ample powers
of self-government and means as
commensurate to the exercise of
those powers as the Dominion of
Canada. Constitutionally the power
of the people in the United States
is cribbed, cabined and confined
compared with the power of the
people in Old or Greater Britain.

—A man named Hogbin went to

Corfiner Smith empanelled a jury
wh6 found that "that the deceased
cattle to his death from concussion
oirthe brain, caused by violent con -
tint with a hard, smooth, slightly,
rounded surface, but whether such
injury was inflicted by a weapon in
the hands of some person or by a
fall, the jury cannot decide from the
evidence to far obtained."
