A WORD ABOUT DOMINION AFFAIRS, Editor News -Record - SIR, in THE NEWS-Ricoun'S items last week referring to the appointment of the Registrar you are altogether astray. As a good Grit I wish to set you right before your readers. If Thomas Gibson, M. P.P., had asked for the office he would have got it. There were only two obstacles in the way. The M. P.P.'s for West and South Huron were not favorable ; and then if East Huron were thrown open we were not sure of electing any other man. And next to hint the most. pop- ular man with Grit and Tory is Sandy Gibson. In accordnnce with the Grit, policy an official must not take sides in politics. All other applicants did and Sir Oliver Mowat says any nein wishing to he a politician can have the chance. Mr. Gibson is Registrar and report, says he agreed to appoint the McKillop applicant as Deputy at $7(X) a year. i think he never seen him ; 1 a.m inform- ed the Deputy is to engage one of the northern township applicant's tTangh- ters to rook --if all parties are willing, and that if the encumhent's goo.] lady dies and any of the other applicants die their widows are to have the privilege of accepting the position of housekeeper for the Registrar. Others of their daughters are to be employed as copyists if vacancies occur. The Editor of the Huron Signal, who is making a bigkick, is to have the next chance. M. Wm. Coats, of your town, was not eligible as he has to look after the:county poor. So all are said to he satisfied. You Tories are ma king a big fuss ahout Father Proul x's mission to Rome. The Globe says his mission is to ask His Holiness to compel allhishopsandprieststo bow the knee to Laurier, or freedom as it calls it. The Huron Expositor takes Its inspiration from the Globe and follows on the same'lines. The Montreal Witness says it is to request His Hoiiness to grant French priests to those in the Eastern States. The Mail and Empire says it is on the Manitoba School question. It is none of these. and.l know. Mr. Laurier is a man who never forgets his friends. He is areli- gious man, and sends the Priest, as he says, on a personal mission—to ask ab- solution for the opposing statements made hy himself and followers before the 23rd June, and to secure the Pope's blessing on the P.P. A.'s. for their sup- port in the last election ; also special blessings of His Holiness for the good work of the Wallaces, Kilties and min- isters for their help; and for union with all the various Protestant denom inations that issued mandements in their church courts to vote for Laurier. These are truths that the public should know. Yours, STAUNCH GRIT. Winthrop, Sept. 20, 1806. FRETWORK. There are days that we'll like to f,.rrger; There are things that we wish were u!• done, And we think when we worry and fret That we mend what was badly begun. Should we waste all the sweetness of Ilfe And embitter the wine of to -day With the wormwood of yesterday's strife As though tears would wash sin stains away 7 E'en n coward Is free with his tears And repents when he's shackled to tate; But he weeps on account of his fears That repeutrnce was postured too late. What Is passed Is beyond our control, That to come we earn shape to our tante. A life's balance Is struck from the whole And all fretting Is negligent waste. —Willis Walton Frantz A CUP OF COLD WATER. How You May Relieve the Suffering of Your Pet Dog. Has it ever occurred to you, young people, that at times your pet dog may, actually be suffering for a drink .+off water? We know a little girl who used to think It great fun to see her Scotch terrier scratch the closet door, begging his young mistress to 1111 his own pm`- ticular water cup. The little girl moa' believes that her pet's cup should al- ways be kept filled and within hit reach. Suppose she should he out and Flossie should he thirsty; what could Flossie do? Another dog of which we know choked himself nearly to death by at- tempting to push his head under an Ice -box to drink from the pan. He was so big that he stuck fast and he howled until some one of the house- hold came to his assistance. A thoughtful lover of animals talus us that she keeps a pall of water an the grounds of her place in the country for any stray dog'a refreshment. It is astonishing the number of dogs that daily empty the pail. But, oh! tate shame of it! Many of the dogs are not stray dogs at all! They are well-bred. well-fed and well cared for—with the exception only of the merciful cup of cold water. On summer nights .a little dog with a bell around his neck used to put In an appearance regularly at about 10 o'clock. His benefactress, lis- tening for him, learned to know the tinkle of his bell, the patter of his paws and the thirsty tapping of his eager little tongue In the pail. Our young people who live In the country oan do muoh for a dog's com- fort; can they not? Those who live in the city may follow the example l the little girl. Place a cup or a bowl In some corner where your dog can always find tt, and keep It fllled with fresh water. It may be amusing to see a dog beg when you are present In- stantly to fulfil hie wants, but his hour of suffering, when you are twit present, when no one understands the thirst that is torturing him, Is un - Speakable cruelty. 4
