,lYo doubt Mr. Laurier was aware be
would forget all about it when he
promised 550,000 to the Toronto Fair.
Ontario Conetvativee must have a
thorough reorganization, and the
sooner steps are taken to such an end
the sooner this Province will return a
Conse,evative Government.
Referring to Mr. Hardy's first ap-
pointment being the new Registrar for
Huron, the Mail and Empire --which is
endorsed by the Goderich Signal and
Clinton New Era --very properly com-
ments :— "There ought to be an en-
quiry at the next session of the Legis-
lature into the official hierarchy, so
that the public may know how far
neputenn extends "
The Lain ter party are anxious to en-
quire lulu the alleged partisanship of a
gory Hshery officer at Leeds who re-
ceives $30 a year, but condoee a neigh-
boring Grit postmaster who war; sec-
retary of the Leeds Grit committee.
A civil service officer at Hamilton
named Gallagher, who was not a poli-
tician and received $25 a year, has been
replaced by the Liberal party, while
Preston of Toronto has been reinstated
at $2,010 a year because he was an ac-
tive Grit politician. Such is the policy
of the Laurier party
The announcement made for the
North Grey election that "the
school question is settled" has been
followed by the intimation that it is
not settled. Abbe Pi'oulx has not been
heard frow, and Mr. Greenway is not
trying to satisfy Mr. Sifton's greed.
The fact is, the Government has nut
gone the right way about the settle-
ment. , It promised to appeal to the
good feeling- of the people. Instead of
ing this, it is appealing to the cupid-
ity of Mr. Sifton, who is understood to
have been appointed minister of the
Interior, and to the arbitrament of the
Pope.

UURRENT TOPICS.
Although the Grits moved for the
abolition of the duty on binder twine
a few years ago, they refused the other
day to pass the'sanne motion. Their pol-
icy out of Office is not the same as
when in office. Once more the farmers
have been humbugged.
iiie Dominion Parliament prorogued
on Monday and every Grit pocketed
the full sessional allowance, although
they were at full liberty to move and
carry a less sum. In addition they
have increased the expenditure by
several million dollars. Another in-
stance of how Grit economy is work-
ed.
The Mail and Empire says of a native
Clintonion:--"The Canadian Magazine
for this month is an especially interest-
ing number. Mr. John A. Cooper is
evidently striving, and with success,
to make this monthly a bright and
thoroughly national publication. The
series of papers in the October issue is
long, and every article deals with a
Canadian Topic".
Notwithstanding the determination
of the Republican leaders to us argu-
ment, and never abuse, in the fight
against the Popocrats, Mr. Bryan is
having numberless choice expithets
hurled at him. According to the Chi-
cago Despatch he has been called a
word twister, a fog horn, a skate, a
human bellows, a windbag,a barker, a.
freak, a jay, a wooden head, a hoo-doo,
anoodle,a howler,a scalawag, abrain less
calf, a blatherskite, a repudiator, a
backbiter, a cheap, a puppet, a silver
hireling, a robber, crazy, a bungler, a
blackleg, an Anarchist, and a Nihilist.
During the present month further
drafts will no doubt be made upon the
vocabulary, and they will serve to
show how high the feeling runs.
Being a politician, Mr. Bryan is not
sensitive, and will survive them.
A grit journal thinks Mr. Tarte en-
titled to credit for meeting the "Busi-
"'ness is business" letter in "a square
open way," by giving to Parlie,jpent
the name of the writer, Mr. Petit, the
defeated candidate of Terrebonne,
But Mr. Tarte did not tell the rname or
do anything to clear up the matter
until forced by a Parliamentary in-
quiry. He was asked to say if Mr.
Petit was or was not the man
who wrote the letter demanding a
"rake of" from a coal contract which
he was empowered to award; and
what could Mr. Tarte do else? He
had to confess that Pitit was the nein,
and no thanks to him for it. On the
ether hand Mr. Tarte is blameworthy
for entrusting Mr. . Pitit with
the power of thus levying black-
mail anon a public col tractor.
Ile :had no right to delegate,
to any mrut outside his department,
much less a defeated candidate, the
Mower of awarding public partronago.
ile could not defend such a coarse even
if it were honestly clone. When it re-
sults in dishonesty and attempted
robbery of a public contractor, lie
cannot shelter himself behind the
other tu'tu's bad character.
This from the Toronto Sentinel will
m'et with the approval of all fair
minded people: --The Hamilton Times
Rays, "whether the hones dug up in
Winnipeg are those of Thomas Scott
or some ether man does not greatly
concern the present generat ion."
That stetenu'nt is an evidence of cold-
heartedness and collrnisness that has
distinguiahted the Tirnes tribe from
the beginning of time. A !Tian who
dries not care whether the body of one
of his fellows who lost, his life at the
han(is of rebels receives ('hristnin
burial is a near approach to t he heath-
en. 'Whatever may be the feeling
or want of feeling --of that portion of
the press which the Times represents,
il, is a fact that the Orangemen of
('a nada of every generation regard the
mat ter as worthy t heir concern. Poor
Toni Stott 1(41'4'm -onto a Inyel subject
of her Maiesty, and When his murder-
er, Louis Riel, took up arias Scott was
one of the men who refused to re-
cognize the usurper and steadfastly
proclaimed his loyalty to the Queen
and constitut.ion. Phis was the
reason for his death. The bloodthirsty
French-Canadian wlio had determined
to have another French Province in
the North-West removed the brave
and intrepid Orangeman who stood in
his way. Therefore it, is that through-
out the Dominion, wherever there are
two or three -mem hers of the Associa-
tion, the finding of the hones of
the victim of 1870 - will be a
matter of concern. If it is established
beyond doubt that the remains are
those of Scott, it will become the duty
of the Orangemen of Canada to see
that they are placed in consecrated
ground and that the spot is marked by
a shaft with a suitable inscription
commemorative of his courage and
loyalty as well as of his foul murder.
Although the first session of the -
Laurier party has come and gone the
fiscal policy of the Government has
net been announced. One thing has
been done --a lot of Tory office -holders
have been replaced by Gt its and the
expenditure increased by several
millions of dollars.
The Huron Registrarship.
Editor Newx_Becord :
DEAR SIR, --I have been wore or less
in politics for a period long enough to
become "seasoned,"as the eaying goee,
and have come to the conclusion as
various writers have said :
"A fair and Ihtttering promise catches
the fool."
"Men promise according to their
hopes and perform according to their
fears."
"Some wen will promise more in a
minute than they will stand to in a
month."
Personally, our own "Billy" ('oats
was my choice for the position of Re-
gistrar of Huron, but the "pull" was
from another direction and he along
with other good innocents had to be
slaughtered. Behind the screens might
be heard something like this :
T. Gibson, M. P.P.--"Success conse-
crates the foulest, deeds."
Daniel McGillicuddy — "Oh, yes;
there is 00 enemies like false friends 1"
Sir Oliver Mowat—"Certainly, Dan-
iel; that's why I beheaded friend
Myers."
Editor New Era—"Yes ! yes ! ! Quite
right, Sir Oliver. You know Daniel,
ley friend, received a severe castiga-
tion at Goderich on the 'glorious' 12th,
but he hadn't enough 'floss' sense, as
old man Polley says, to take in the
'sittoation.' Of course Dan has been
disloyal to Queen and Country and
could not even cheer for our own
Aberdeen the other day. It would, to
say the least, look had to place a man
in a government position who is eter-
nally looking to Washington" --(on the
side, "although 1 have looked there 18
long years myself.)"
SirOliver—"Correct, Brother•Holntes,
We must at least have office -holder's
loyal to the institutions and constitu-
tion of our beloved country. They
roust not—NOW—decry the advantages
of that time -tried and honorable cham-
ber which I have the honor to he a
member of—the Senate—although its
fifth leg has gone,"
"I3illy" Coats—(A few days after the
r'egistrar'shipvacancy occurred) --"Now,
Mr. Cameron, I want you to do me a
legitimate favot. You know how J
have worked in your interests ; the
sacrifices I have made ; the time and
money I have spent to secure your re-
turn ; the abuse my broad shoulders
carry from those miserable Tories be-
cause I have dared to be a Daniel. I
have even bearded the lion in his own
Toryden,even unto tine twinelinen,and
now crave your support for the well -
merited position of Registrar of
Huron."
Mr. Cameron—"Yes, Bill ; you de-
serve this, and more, too. But I am
sorry to say I have been pledged to
support another applicant for six
months or more."
Mr. Coats—"Well, Mr. Cameron, I
am greatly surprised, The applicant
you refer to should at least have had
the decency to wait uetil the haud of
Death intervened. Who is the choice
of yourself ?"
]Mir. Cameron—"Yes, i suppose it
would hhve been better. My choice!
Well, Mr. Coats, wy choice is—well,
M. C. Cameron. After M. C. Cameron
then William Coats, the brave and the
true; then--then—the milleniuw 1"
W. W. Farran--"Hang this political
card playing. We should certainly
have systematic advancement in the
civil service," to which the local mem-
ber objected.
Mr. (Jarrow, M. P.P.—"Business is
business! You know we must follow
the Ottawa (Laurier) precedent. Our
friends down there have inaugurated
the policy 'To the victors belong the
spoils.' There • was nothing in t his
registry squabble except trouble, but 1
will see to it that the $10,00) of the
Stavely estate money goes to Clinton
once I am again elected in 1898. We
cannot promote so rapidly, but we can
live in hope."
Daniel McGillicuddy "Ilope is very
fond, but that will not satisfy the
Great -1 -Aro. This infernal deception
must be an open tight to the finish as
far as I am concerned. You have de-
feated me and when the next election
rolls round you will he up salt creek."
(To which all agreed.)

years was merle miserable from nerv-

Watson met with an accident which so
seriously affected her nervous system
that during the suhsequentfive yearsehe
was subjected to very severe nervous
prostration, resulting in convulsions
with unconsciousness for three or four
hours at a, time. This condition con-

Miss Watson was forced to wear
glasses. Many remedies were tried
but with no avail, and both Miss Wat-
son and her friends feared that a cure
could not be obtained. Ultimately Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills were strongly
recommended by various friends and
the young lady decided to give them a
trial. A half dozen boxes were
Oought, and by the tune one box was
used there was an imprevernent in her
condition, and before the half dozen
were used, Miss Watson was, to use
her own words, a different person al-
together. Her entire nervous system
was reinforced to such an extent that
she is now able to dispense with the
use of the glasses which previous fail-
ing eyesight had made necessary. Miss
Watson is now a staunch friend of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and says : "I
have pleasure in recommending them
to all similarly afflicted." Rev, D. Mil-
lar, a friend of the family, vouches for
the facts above set forth.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new
blood, build up the newee,+ and thus
drive disease from the RyStem. In
hundreds of cases_ they 1 ave cured
after all other medicines have failed,
thus establishing the claim that they
are a marvel among the triumphs of
modern medical science. The genuine
Pink Pills are sold only in boxes hear-
ing the full trade inark, "Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People." Protect
yourself from imposition by refusing
any pill that does not bear the regis-
tered trade inark around the box.

This legal decision will he of interest
to trustees :—That a body of trustees
could not he held personally liable for
a mortgage contracted by the body for
which they acted, was the gist of an
important, judgment handed down by
Mr. Justice Falconhridge, at Osgoode
hall, Toronto, on Thursday morning.
The case was a suit brought by Mr.
John Beaty, of Parkdale, against the
trustees of (he Lansdowne avenue Bap-
tist church. Mr, Beaty held a second
mortgage on the church property for
$3,200, and tried to realize on it by su-
ing the trustees. ,Judgment, however,
ewes given for the,,.Lr•ustees, His Lord-
ship holding that the defendants were
only liable 88 a corporate body, and
that there was no individual liability.
As the church property is covered by
a first mortgage, held by the Star Life
Co., Mr, Beaty can scarcely recover.
The suit has attracted a good deal of
attention from those holding mortgagee
on church property. l..
