The following, from the Toralito
Tele tam,(ui line with What the NE W
Ens has been; sayingfor years. There,
is no.earthly excuse' for retaining a
system that has', not a ood:feature
about :'it, but is a drain of $200,000 an-
". xi,ually on the people. The superan.
cation systere should be wiped out of
existence. The Telegram says:-
Canada speii�ds thousands of dollars

Out they might take up the question of

`thing can be said against it, nothing in

ant one. Let it be hoped that some
,''day; Canada will have a Government
'wise enough to abolish the system
which makes Canada -most of whom
have enough to do to pay their own

have for years been in receipt of salaries
which are largely above the average of
those given in banks or commercial
houses.
East Huron Reformers.
s. Convention of the Reformers of the

Town Hall, Srnssels, on Friday, -June 2nd,

A license commissioner is charged
with having granted alicense to a house
owned by himself at Lions Head. If the
charge be true -and it should be inves-
tigated -the Commissioner should be
removed, and be dealt with as the law
directs.
A proposition to send the Lieut -Gov-
ernor and his staff, to the World's
Fair, at the expense of the province, to
improperly represent Ontario," was
thrown out of the Local House, on the
very good ground that the same
` amount of money could be spent to
much better advantage in some other
way. The Province certainly has no
money to spend in pleasure •jaunts that
have no substantial object in view.
So successful have the British Liber-
als been in keeping their party in line
in the House of Commons during' the
Home Roll bill discussion, that their
opponents are thoroughly discouraged,
and it is expected that when the bill is
taken up after the Whitesuntide ad-
journment, it will be pushed through
the committed stage briskly. The op-
ponents of the measure cannot keep
their friends in attendance and the
government had a majority of sixty in
the last division taken.
Some of the Conservative papers are
13/aced in rather an awkward predica-
ment just now. Mr McCarthy having
made a clean break from his party,
they declare that "the jumping about
,if a political adventurer" (meaning Mr
McCarthy) is of no consequence, and
not worth noticing. Then some paper
gets a fling at them by asserting that
both Sir John Thompson and G. E.
Poster were once Liberals -therefore
,..political ' adventurers," and they
,should be in the same class as Mc-
Carthy.
The Wingham Advance thinks we
should change our views on the en-
forcement of the License Law, because

BICYCLE RACING+. -There is already'

lowlees is down to hard training for
the Bowfnan. Road race, in Hamilton,
on the 27th, and if successful there, will
take in the Martin tlournament, at Buf-
falo, on the 30th. A road race was
worked up for his benefit, on Monday
evening, which created a good deal of
excitement. The race was to Bruce -

A SUCCESSFUL CANADIAN. -Editor
NEW ERA. -It will doubtless interest
the good folks in Clinton to learn that
one of her boys was honored one day
recently in Chicago, ley being selected
for a public position of !honor and
trust. The Clintonian referred to is
George Irving, who was nominated •by
the mayor, and unanimously Confirm-
ed by the city council to the position
of chief clerk in the water office. This
post may not strike the people of Clin-
ton as being particularly desirable,
and it would not be so regarded if
the position was lin Clinton, but when
we consider that Chicago is a city of
1,530,000 inhabitants, swelled this sum-
mer by -the influx of visitors to nearly
2,0.00,000,,and that the city proper cov-
ers an area of nen rlr180-ec liana miles;
or a square of 14 miles each way, and
that there were many applicants for
this position, it will be perceived that
this bright, young Canadian has good
cause for congratulation. Mr George
Irving's parents are old and highly re-
spected residents'of Clinton. George,
as well as his bro'her William are .old
apprentices of the NEW ERA office.
The latter is now one of the thorough-
ly trained printers, who is always sure
of a good job. George is quite active
in politics, being chairman of the De-
mocratic committee of the ward in
which he resides, and also superinten-
dent of the Methodist Sunday School,
at Gross Park, where I had the plea•
sure of seeing him officiate on a recent
Sunday. Wishing the old NEW ERA
every success, and with the warmest
good wishes to all iny, old friends in
Clinton, I am, yours .fraternally, R.
MATHESON, ex -editor. NEW ERA.

Bowie vs Hullett.-As will be remember-
ed, was an action tried before Judge Doyle
at the last sitting of the Division Court in
Seaforth. The Plaintiff, Mr W. H. Bowie
sued the township of Hullett for damages
to the amount of 860, plaimed to have been
sustained by him thi'ongh the death of a
horse, the loss of the sale of cedar posts,
and lose occasioned by being unable to get
fall wheat sown upon some land he had
rented, all on account of a defective road•
way leading to his property. The hearing
of the case occupied the greater part of the
day and the Judge reserved hie decision.
The Judge has now given his verdict order-
ing a non -snit, with costs on the plain-
-tial`—. _.
The West Wawanosh Mutual Fire
Insurance Company is an excellent
company. It is carefully and economi-
cally managed, and as a result losses
are small and not numerous, and as-
sessments light. Thus far this year
9100 will cover all the losses that may
occur. We hope the company will
have a continuance of this good luck
of the past year. Last year the losses
amounted to only $2,508, one loss,that
of Mr Duncan McRae, Huron town-
ship. amounted to $1,200. There were
in all for the year seventeen losses, and
of these 14 were caused by lightning.

DODD'S PILLS AGAIN.
KINGarON, May I5. Mr L. Yott, of Wolfe
Island, opposite We oity, has been cared
by Dodds kidney pills. It is a well known
tact that Mr Yet* has been a sufferer for
years from backache requiting from disor
Bred kidneys, so much so that if in a sten
ing position he should turn around sudd n -
F ly, the pain would take his breath away.
In speaking of his case to Mr Henry Wade,
the druggist of this city, from whom he
purchased the pills, he said: I have been a
sufferer for years from pains in the bank
and.kidneytdiaease. Have tried liniments,
plasters, ointments and other remedies
from dootore and druggists, bat none of
these remedies helped the in the least
Hearing Dodd's kidney pills so much talk-
ed of, gaveyhem a trial, and as a result two
boxes cured me. This cure is probably
not as marvelous as many that has recent-
ly been made by Dodd's kidney pills, but it
is creating talk and comment among his
friends and acquaintances here.
