CURRENT TOPICS. $'; Referring to the statement made by Sir Charles Tupper, which appeared in the dailies the other day, that Canada liad offered a regiment of infantry for British foreign service, Major-General Herbert said Tuesday in an interview ;`that he knew the offer had been made, "and that there was nothing to prevent =Canada sending a regiment abroad to "defend the interests of Britain, provid- :`;'ing of course, that the men were will- ing to. go. We notice that every Grit journal 'throughout the country is running an advertisement just now for the Ontario ` Government calling for tenders for supplies for several asylums. We do not see anything wrong in this, but were we to use the argument of these same papers against the Conservative press we would say they (our Grit confreres) were being pap -fed. These Gritewriters have shown their insincer- ity , in this matter. The legitimate business transaction is '•criminal" only when practised by Conservatiyes 1 One short sentence from a speech delivered by Sir John Thompson in Halifax last winter defines the differ- -enee between the two political parties in Canada. "We propose," said the Premier, "that the goods that are manufactured in an American factory, shall not, if we can prevent it by reasonable legislation, displace in our market the goods made by Canadians in Canadiah factories ; our opponents say upon that point we are wrong." The whole case is here put in a nut- shell. Electors may take their choice. London Election. The election in London on Tuesday to fill the vacancy caused by the eleva- tion of W. R. Meredith to the chief justiceship was a surprise, Mr. T. S. a Hobbs being elected over Mayor E. T. Essery by 803 majority. The most sanguine supporters of the Mowat can- didate did not anticipate such a majority, from 150 to 200 being the utmost that was calculated on before Monday, when it was generally re- ported that there was an"unlimited supply of money, and it Was being freely used it must be admitted that Essery s stiporters were disorganized and that C e candidate had too many strings to his kite. The cause of those he advocated gave enough support to Hobbs to belie them. It ispositively ,stated that personation f absen Voters was systematically carried on, fro tneans being left untried to defeat Mayor Essery. One personator has been arrested, and more arrests are to follow. This is the first time that London has elected a liberal to the •Cntarid legislature. The victory was •duly celebrated. . There is no cloud so dark but has a Silver lining. The victery in London Mai induce -Sir Oliver to call a meeting tlf the legislature at an earlier date than he otherwise would have done. Political Catechlsi1n, Who took the bill stamp tax off? The Conservatives. Who took thonewspaper postage tax off ? • The Conservatives. Who took the sugar tax off? The Couservatives,' Who took the coffee tax off ? The Conservatives. Who took th e tea tax off ? The Conservatives. , Who reduced the taxes $2,000,000 in 1894 ? The Conservatives. What reductions did the Liberals make in taxations from 1873 to 1878? None ! They increased the taxes by 21 million dollars. All of which is respectfully submit- ted to the Patrons of Industry for their consideration. An Object Lesson. In his recent letter to the Patrons of Industry, Sir Richard Cartwright de- clares that the Mackenzie Government in 1878 were defeated by fanners who did not understand their own inter- ests. The farmers of that day were not half so blindas the ex -Minister thinks they were. They looked with good eye- sight and clear understanding at the condition of affairs and they wisely concluded that their interests were not being looked after by the Government. This was the object lesson that made thein come to that conclusion, and farmers to -day would come to the saltie conclusion. P16TUItR NO. 1. Tariff of the Cartwright Government against imports froin the United States: On wheat nothing Rye and Bailey nothing Indian Corn nothing Oats nothing Wheat flour nothing And so on. PICTURE NO. 2. Tariff by the United States against exports from Canada during the rule of the Cartwright Government: On wheat, 20 cents per bushel. On Rye and Barley 15 cents per bushel. Indian Corn 10 cents per bushel. Oats, 10 cents per bushel. Wheat flour 20 per cent. And so on. • This was the one-sided, jug -handled tariff that Sir Richard had in force, and that is the kind of a tariff which he wants to put in force again. On such a policy Sir Richard plight win in any State in the Union ; but he cannot win on it on any Province of the Cana- dian Confederation. Betrayer Fenton is Free. Blyth Standard. John R. Fenton, the betrayer of Jessie Mutch, was arrested by Chief Davis between 1 and 2 o'clock Satur- day morning (Nov 17) at his hoarding house in Londesboro'. He was brought to Blyth and placed in the cooler. The charge upon which he was arrested • was for seducing Miss Bertha Young- blutt, of Auburn, a young girl under 16 years of age and daughter of one of the most respectable business rnen of the village. His trial took place Saturday morn- ing at 11 o'clock before Samuel Cald- well, J, P., at Auburn. There was very little made out of the evidence given, the girl herself admitted that he had been criminally intimate with ber but not within the past 1.2 months. He could not he convicted on this evi- dence and was discharged. The father of the girl then told Fen- ton that he did not want to see hila around his premises again, as he had ruined his daughter and brought dis- grace on his family. At this Fenton grew angry and attempted to strike Youngblutt but was prevented from doing so by Chief Davis, who received the blow himself. For this act Fenton was fined $10 and costs. It does seem strange that a wretch like: this young man can cause the death of one girl and ruin another and then escape without proper punish- ment. There is something wrong with our Canadian law that this scoundrel has been able to escape. We have been informed that Fenton drove to Clinton from Londesboro' on Sunday night taking the train Mon- day morning for parts unknown. The community is well rid of him and he carries with him our highest recom- mendation for his future welfare. Blyth. • Thanksgiving day was generally observed dere as a holiday.

This will be a great con- venience, as it is almost impossible for the small scholars to walk in the win- ter time. S. 0: E.—The Sons of England din- ner and concert last Thursday was a decided success, although the weather in the afternoon and evening looked threatening. A large number partook of the good things provided. After the inner man had been satisfied" an adjournment was made to Bell's hall, where a first-class programme was pre- sented to a large and appreciative audi- ence. Bro. Jackson, D. D., of Clinton, acceptably filled the chair. Supreme Grand President Hancock, of Hamil- ton, and the Supreme Grand Secretary, of Toronto, were present, and gave short addresses in the interest of the Order. The singing of Mr. Matt. Floody was good and "called forth well deserved encores ; that also of Mr. R. Foster, of Clinton, was good, and •was well received, calling orth well -merited encores. The' duett by Miss Brogden and Miss Whitely also deserves special mention. Miss Wood- man also sang a solo, which was well rendered. Miss Crisp gave an organ solo in first-class style. At about 10.30 the proceedings were brought to a close jay all uniting in signing God Save the Queen. The gross receipts were in round numbers i'50 and the expendi- ture a little over $46, leaving a balance in favor of the lodge of between $9 and $10. At the close of the concert a number of the members of Londes- borough and Sheffield Lodges adjourn- ed to the lodge room, where a special W. R. meeting was held. Two mem- bers of Lendesboroue'h Lodge were advanced to the W. R. Degree. The President's chair was occupied by S. G. Pres., Bro. Hancock, who , was ably assisted by Supreme Grand Secretary Bro. J. W.

Fairbairn conducted the obsequies. The deceased had beetl- e resident of West Wawanosh up- wards of fifty years and was much re- spected. She leaves behind her one son' to. mourn her decease. A POSTMASTER'S STORY A 'STRANGE ATTACK AND THE DIRE RESULTS THAT FOLLOWED. DTR. ROBERT SHARPE, OF STARKVILLE, TELLS OF HIB SUFFERINGS—LOST THE USE OF BOTH HANDS AND FEET AND WAS FORGED TO GIVE UP BUSINESS— THE TIMELY ACTION OF A FRIEND POINTED THE WAY TO RENEWED ACTIVITY. From theBowmanviale News, Mr. Robert Sharpe is a well known resident of Starkville, Durham county, who has been living in Canada for about thirteen years. He is by trade a blacksmith, and on coming to this country located in the towns p of Haldimand, in the county of No •thum- berland. After working there fur a time ho put chased a residence and shop at Starkville, where he worked at his trade and established a nice busi- ness. Being both courteous and oblig- ing he was well liked and was appoint- ed postmaster for the place. He was in the best of health and with the exception of a slight asthma trouble had no complaint of any kind. In the month of March, 1892, he attended an auction sale in the neighborhood and came home in the evening apparently all right, but during the night was taken with a chill, accompanied with a violent pain which gradually grew worse and before• morning he went into convulsions and became uncon- scious. A doctor was summoned who bled him freely, which seemed to relieve him for a time, and next day he seemed better, and the doctor told him he would be all right in a few days. This, however, was not verified, and although he could go around he was fast failing in health and at times would be in an agony of pain. One doctor said he had sciatica, and another told him that his trouble was rheuma- tism of the spine and that he would never be better. I -Ie tried many medi- cines but all failed to do hirn any good, At this time he was so weal: that he could only hobble around with the assistance of two sticks, and had to give up work. The pain continued day and night and finally he lost the use of both hands and feet and often longed for death to relieve him of his suffering. About this,time Mrs. Sharpe wrote a letter for him to a friend for whom lie had worked when he first came out to the country, and this friend sent him a couple of boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, urging him to give them a fair trial. Before the second box was done he felt somewhat better and pnrehased another supply. To hasten the story, Mr. Sharpe continued the use of the Pink Pills until he had taken fourteen boxes, by which time he had completely recover- ed and is now as well as ever he was, and has lost all the asthma trouble as well. He is' now able to do a hard day's work, and is loud in his praises of Dr. Williams' wonderful Pink Pills. As the reporter was leaving a Mr. Stark, an intelligent farmer who lives close hy, called, and verified all that Mr. Sharpe had said, and referred the reporter to others in the neighborhood who knew the circumstances as well. One who had never seen Mr. Sharpe before•would not think, looking at him to day, that he had come through the ordeal he has, as he seems the very picture of health and both he and Mrs. Sharpe attribute the whole cure to Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving it froin the system and testor•ing the patient to health and strength. In cases of para- lysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scrof- ulous troubles, etc., these are superior to all other t.reatmept. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so ninny women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excess, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure. Sold by all dealers or sent by mail, post paid, at 50' cents a box, or six (loxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. 'Williams' Medicine Company, Brock- ville, Ont., or Schenectady, N. Y.

All friends of the Conservative cause are invited. JOSEPH BECK, JAS. MITCHELL, President „ Secretary. Holmesville. Mrs. S. Phipps, who has been visit- ing in London, returned on Friday last. The public will be glad to learn that Mr.. Stilwell Phipps shows signs of improvement in his condition. Mrs. T. C. Pickard has been spend - in gg a few days in Mitchell. Mes. (Rev.) J. S. Fisher, formerly of this village, new of Atwood, is visiting among friends here. The shooting match here was largely attended and some clever shooting was done, among them may be mentioned Mr. John Ford. Mr. W. Grigg, formerly of this vill- age, but who left here over a year ago for British Columbia, returned on Thursday last. He has, we ere inform- ed, visited both Japan and China while engaged in the occupation of seal Itch- ing. He was employed as marksman in shooting seals. These seals had to be shot in the head froin a boat rock- ed and tossed by the waves which may be imagined requires great skill. The remuneration is $2.50 per seal. If any one would succeed at this enterliris+e we are sure Will would, for it was well known -he was an expert with the gun while here. We believe 'he intends to return to the business next summer, when he hopes to make several hun- dred dollars more than he did last sea- son. He had some narrow escapes from death by encounters with whales. We regret to state that Mrs. W. Cole has been ill for several days and stiff shows but slight signs of improve- ment. Rev. J. W. Holmes, of Clinton, preached two very able sermons in the Method:st chur,'h here on Sabbath last. Hie congregation were delight- ed.
