Patterson to the Lieutenant -Governor- ship of Manitoba would meet with the general approval of the Canadian people there was not a doubt. The ap- pointment has been endorsed by a por- tion of the Grit press and unanimously by the independent press, while the Conservative press acknowledge the great loss the acceptance of the posi- tion means to the Conservative party generally and in Ontario particularly. In a letter to President Beck Mr. Patterson says :— "Having been called upon to assume the responsibilities of a position in- compatible with that of a member of the House of Commons, I am retiring from that body and have also grateful- ly to decline•renomination, which was recently so generous lv and unanimous- ly tendered me by the Liher'al-Con- servative Association of the Riding. "I take advantage of this occasion to express my greatful appreciation of the earnest and faithful support which I have at all times received from your- self and your co-workers of the Asso- ciation. May I ask you kindly to con- vey to my constituents my regret at the severance of a connection so fruit- ful in ruiifulin pleasant associations to rue, and assure them of my continued interest in their welfare. "Very faithfully yours, "J. C. PATTERSON." Mr. Patterson's appointment ereates a vacancy in West Huron—a naturally Conservative Riding—at a time when both Grits and Tories would rather be spared two elections within a year or so. However, his acceptance, we are sure, will prove of service to the future national welfare of the Canadian peo- ple. Of the new Lieutenant -Governor the Montreal Star says te- "His Honor has made an enviable record in Federal politics. A man of great value to his party, he has shown a great deal of sturdy independence oyer On the floor' of "tile llense, 1lWben' itl'Parliament-4e,aprlatIttt : iellillet+lte wife 111wilye: listened to with attention and Vespeot; 444 he was Rttp elf tl o fete men wile coulii spet>k titter the leaders apo yet rise nllove On ee11A, 'T a oee to innipeg at time whetta good -04 of the white light of notoriety will. best about his 'throne.' It is needless to say, however, that Ills influence will be for peace, and that kits .course will he suggestive of cool -headedness and dis- cretion. If a Lieutenant -Governor will be permitted to play ally part in re- moving the dangerous Manitoba school c uestion from Federal politics, Mr. Patterson may be depended upon to play that part well and with concilia- tory results. * * * * The Govern- ment are to be commended for their courage in thus silencing once for all the charge that they were engaged to an unworthy intrigue with Sit John' Schultz. We must keep the. skirts of judicial and semi -judicial offices abso- lutely free from stain at all costs." And the Toronto News adds "Writers of sensational newspaper fiction concerning the Manitoba school question will henceworth have to curb their imaginations to some extent. Probably uo foundation ever existed for the assertion that the Manitoba Government might he summarily dis- missed front power. The formal ap- pointment of Mr. Patterson now should set at rest forever any doubt on the question. That he will act consist- ently and conscientiously is certain. His record in public life bas been such that the Manitoba Government may have every confidence in his fairness and judgment as long as they keep to the right. His ability to fill the posi- tion with credit to himself and advan- tage to Canada's prairie province is beyond doubt." "THE POOR FARMER!" The caption is one the Toronto Globe and Ontario Grit press have been harp- ing on for seventeen years, but at no time during that period were the pessi- mistic blue -ruin brigade in greater glee than during1895. • Our readers will well remember how a few weeks ago the Globe had a special commissioner de- tailed to Huron, Bruce, Grey and other counties, to write up the "distressed condition" of "the poor farmer" and to give a correct idea of crop prospects. It seemed to be a happy thought on the part of the Globe that Providence had been very spare in showering blessings on the poor tax-burthened farmer and of course the Tory Govern- ment at Ottawa would he held respon- sible. The Globe commissioner report- ed great distress among the farmers in Bruce and Grey, absolute poverty and starvation staring them in the face, that public meetings were being held and that the Governments would be asked to aid "the poor farmer." Ac- cordingly a pubiic meeting was held the other day in Grey. The Globe and Grit press of Huron should be fair enough to give the result as reported in the Chatsworth News. Even though it gives a correct statement of the con- dition of "the poor farmer',' and dis- credits the utterances of the Globe and allies, THE NEWS -RECORD gladly sup- plies the information. Here it is :— "A meeting was held in this ward in Sullivan last Saturday to receive appli- cations from those seeking aid on ac- count of the shortage in crops. Coun- cillor Joseph Dohie presided and took down the applications, which number- ed five. Of the five applicants one is a rnechar ;c, who has two acres of land and depends on his trade for his liveli- hood and is in good circumstances ; another is a mechanic who works at his trade when he can get work, farms when he is at home, and spends his time at drinking when he is not engag- ed in either of his other avocations ; a third is said to haye money out at in- ter est, and the other two thought they could pull through the winter if they have to, but if there was any assistance going they would like to get a share. All the applicants were willing to take loans at a very low rate of interest, and all will be better off at the end of two years if they do not get loans. So much for ward No. 1, Sullivan." CURREV'1 TOPIC'S. Do not forget that when there will be a Liberal government at Ottawa it will have a French-Canadian and Cath- olic chief.—Mr. Laurier at Chicoutirni. It will not be forgotten, and don't you forget it. Toronto people, who are using boiled sewage for drinking purposes, have the consolation of knowing that their daily beverage is full of food. Boiled germs may he nourishing. The custom taxation on the people of Canada in the fiscal year ending Juno 30th, 1895, was lighter than for many a year past. In all, about. $16,500,000 in duties were paid into the Treasury, be- ing et the rate of $314 per head of popu- lation. A comparison of the customs taxaton per capita; in the pastyyears will show how low the figure in 1894-5 was :- 1872 $3 61 1889 $5 02 1875 3 951892 420 1878 3 13 1894 3 86 1883 523 1895 3 44 In five years the customs taxation has been reduced by no less than $1.58 per heal of population. Dominion Finance Minister Foster is making a tour on a Canadian -made bicycle and the Hamilton Spectator re- marks :— "How Mr. Foster is flying through the maritime provinces on a wheel. And this is the first time that that able financier and statesman has been known to favor a fly -on -the -wheel policy." Quite the reverse. People who ride a bicycle know quite well that there is no "fly -on -the -wheel -policy" about a bicy- cle rider. The wheel flies too fast to al- low flies to catch on, and that is one reason such flies as Sir Richard and French Laurier are compelled by the electors to keep to the rear. They are not up with the times. l.f Ml?11810111 airier ie Corte, 0 in his., ponjegtutQ lie i> ;ty `Q ll '4)3 0;4 :god above.

We re- member some time ago the Seaforth Expositor quoting one Dawson, a Grit member of the Dominion parliament, as being an active ° and prominent Orangeman, Is it possible that such a partisan as Mr. Dawson has deserted his French musketeer leader? The Ex- positor might explain. Could the worn start on a free -trade basis, every country on similar terms, it perhaps might be the best policy to adopt, but as that is impossible it seems to be the best policy for every people to do what is possible for their own well being, and free -trade under existing conditions would be the worst possible policy .for Canada. Even the leader of the Patrons sees this and has publicly declared that a tariff for revenue would bring us face to face with direct taxa- tion, and for that the people of Canada are manifestly not prepared. ,®ern Only One Week Goderich.

Therefore the true way to cure nervousness is by purify- ing and enriching the blood. Thal great blood purifier is Hood's Sarsa. parilla. Road this letter: "For the last two years I have been a great sufferer with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart. I was weak in my limbs and had smothered sensa- tions. At last my physician advised ma to try Hood's Sarsaparilla which I did, and I am happy to say that I am now strong and well. I am still using Bood'a Sarsaparilla and would not be without it. I recommend it to all who are suffering with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart." MRs. DArirox, 56 Alice St., Toronto, Ontario.
