A lobbyist of many years experience in the Halls of Congress at Washing- ton, and, who did duty at Ottawa this session for railway exploiters, says that his easiest game are the politicians who profess much. Presumably he means those who use the church as a means of material advancement and who Lake to the pulpit as a business catcher. This particular lobbyist may be over -cynical, his calling is such as to make him so, though it cannot be said that he is alone of the belief that preaching and politics, as we haye thein in the present day, are not by any means synonym- ous with precept and example. * It is understood that the trial of the election petitions will not take place until the fall which will throw the new elections into next winter and almost a year from the general. It is perhaps in the interests of the powers that he to daily with the present uncertainty so long as possible, though common sense as well as common justice would call for expedition. In the meantime Messrs. Gibson and Dryden are draw- ing ministerial salaries with the re- gularity of clock work. Rejected in their own constituencies,are there none - -other that will accept them ? * By the death of Mr. Gladstone the Empire looses the greatest Briton of the century and in all quarters there is sympathy most sincere. He died full of years and of honors, save those empty titles he saw fit to decline. Undoubtedly his remaining plain "Mr." Gladstone endeared him to the hearts of the people. In domestic politics he was strongest and to his Administrations are owing many of those liberalizing laws which hastened the progress of Britain. In foreign politics he was not the same success, and nearly all the disasters which have for years befallen the British arms were due to his temporizing. Liberal organs are not befriending Lord Aberdeen by eulogizing his efusal to accede to advice given him y Sir Charles Tupper when Premier. he Governor-General on that occasion exceded the duties which were and are expected of him and only respect for the office which he holds saved him from more plain talking than he has had the pleasure of hearing. As a matter of fact, while he is being blarneyed, now that he is going home, those who are not at all sorry fully equal in number those who will on the occasion of his departure go into p sackcloth and ashes. *0* The Supplementary estimates go to show, if any further evidence was necessary, that the Laurier Govern- ment has no more serious thought of economy than of carrying out many more of its anti -election pledges. The annual expenditure is now far beyond that of the Conservative Governments. which was denounced by the Liberals as greater than the actual needs of the country. If Macdonald, or any of the remaining four` Conservative Premiers were extravagant, what of the win- some Sir Wilfrid who lets the purse strings hang looser still. • The Liberals are having a series of 'family quarrels over the post -offices. Down at Exeter they are pulling each others wool, one clique charging the other with underhand work and all that sort of thing. Wingham, too, furnishes another source of discord. There is an intention on the part of the Government to move the site from one part of the towel to the other, and, so it is alleged, into a block with which Dr. Macdonald, M. P., has something to do, It is a pity these politicians for pelf cannot find something loftier to fight over. M We have politicians in West Huron who have year in and year out oppos- ed the pensioning off of Members of Parliament by appointing them to lucrati-ve offices, hut now that M. C. T ,' Cameron is to go to Regina these very same individuals have become sudden- ly mum, or can see nothing wrong in the action. Were they sincere in advocating the independence of Parliament, or on this point as on many another one, simply making a higher profession of public virtue than they really possess. *• In so far as the to be made by the resignation of Mr. Cameron is concerned it furnishes a case in point where the office is not by any means seeking the man ; to the contrary the candidates are tumbling over each other in their anxiety to secure the nomination. Mr. Tartn,'rfas just spent $40,000 for sidew'as around the Parliament 13Vngs. He is to follow this up -.with an iexpenditure of $10,000 for a greenhouse - flowers for Ministerial dinner tables, you know. Then $17,000 will be spent on the garden at Rideau hall; and $14,000 in building a stone f lice at one end of the city park, khere no stone fence is needed. Mean- while the outside shell of the Western block is being pulled down and rebuilt by day labour, and the roof of this block, which was burned off sixteen months ago, is to come. For sixteen months they have been working on his roof, and there is not a sign of it Ottawa will look nice by the •. Tarte gets through with it.- mpire. Circular Town Topics. GODERICH, May 28th. -The Gode- rich Dramatic Club played au Irish Schoolmaster" in Exeter on the 24th. The piece was preceded by part I in which Mies Whitney, our clever soloist, and Miss Fisher, our equally clever elocutionist, appeared. It is certain that the big department- al stores in Toronto do not sell dry node as low as they are being sold in goods these days. Our doctors are complaining of dull tunes. Those of our people who receive summer boarders are preparing for arrivals. Next month the town band will com- mence a series of out -door concerts that will only end when the maples are again of ruddy hue. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Acheson were in Blyth ou Wednesday of last week.

The dredge Arnoldi is doing good work in cleaning for the elevator foun- dation and when this work is com- pleted it will be started depening the harbor where increased depth is neces- sary. A raft of logs is expected in in a few days for the Goderich Lumber Co. Our boys in full force Saturday and Sunday were bathing in the lake and river. The water was real warm, so they say. On Saturday and Sunday the south pier was crowded. The Temperance hall has been treat- ed to a new roof, and a concert will be gisen to -morrow, Friday, evening to help to pay the roofers. Miss A. Wlnnifrede Ball, of the Crediton public school, epent a few days this week at the family residence, West St. Mrs. Carleton, who spent the winter in New York, has returned to town. Ex -Reeve Jas. Johnstone, of West Wawanosh, Was in town on Friday. The schooner Kalfage sailed last Wednesday with a cargo of salt for Midland. The fence round the square is to be painted and the wood -work at the Har- bor. Park to receive the saute treat- ment. The Harbor Park is still being im- proved by the Public Works Commit- tee, and when finished will afford every accommodation to excursion parties, as there will be plenty of shade, a neat band stand, plenty of water and a good cook house. There was no morning services at St. Peter's on Sunday, Rev. Father West preaching in Clinton. Saturday was the first real good day for boating, consequently the harbor was crowded with rowers. The town v band a d willive a ran,, opeuing promenade concert in the kating rink on Thursday, June 2nd, when a choice programme will be pre- sented. The opeuing will be free to members of the Musical Society, to others a small admission fee will he charged. There was a song service at Victoria Street Methodist church on Sunday. The public schools reopened yester- day. The June sessions open on Tuesday, June 14th. S. J. Reid, the administrator of the estate of the late Jos. A.

The Chosen Friends will meet in regular session this Thursday evening. Mesdames Wynn and T. J. R. Naftel and Misses R. and M. Naftel left last week for a month's visit to Toronto and Niagara Falls. Our druggist, Jill. E. Davis had a fine picture of the Grand Old Man in his window the past week. It was draped with the Union Jack, the flag Ire loved so well. All flags of public buildinge were at half -iciest soon after the news of the death of Mr. Gladstone was received. The death of Mr. Gladstone was re- ferred to from every pulpit on Sunday. Mise Josie Mcl')ougall is visiting many cities in the (Mittel States. The Batik of Commerce has hoisted a splendid flag staff from which the Empire flag will often flutter.

Ferguson, General Road Supt.. arrived in town by special train. They occupied two official cars and were on a regular tour of inspection. After viewing the up -town property they in- spected that at the harbor, paying con- siderable attention to the portion where the elevator will be built. The effect of the visit is likely to he altera- tions at the dock, including the re- placing of the track all along the G. T. R. dock. St. Peter's church has at last assumed a completely finished appearance, the last two frosted windows that remain- ed having been replaced last week by handsome panels of stained glass. One representing St. Anthony of Padua and St. Michael the Archangel, was donated by the ladies of the congrega- tion, and the other, the gift of Patrick Nugent, is a representation of the vis- ion of St. Dominick. The windows are the most handsome in the church, and were made by N, T, Lyon, Toronto. Death of Gladstone. THE GRAND OLD MAN PASSED AWAY LAST THURSDAY MORNING. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, four times Prime Minister of Great Britain, and one of the grandest men of the age, died at an early hour lest 'Thursday morning. All other topics in Britain have dropped out of sight in the pass- ing to reet of the greatest statesman of our time and generation. He will be given a state funeral and a monument in Westminster Abbey. OBITUARY. Mr. Gladstone was born at Liverpool, Deo. 29, 1809. The sou of a Liverpool oorn merchant -Sir John Gladstone, M. P., sometime of Leith -and of Ano Robertson, slaughter of Mr. Andrew Robertson of Stornoway, and Provost of Dingwall, the greatest Liberal states- man of his time has ever been proud to boast of hie Scottish nationality and middle-class origin. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and at both places early developed High Church tendencies, and those Tory principles which he apparently inherit- ed from his father. A t school he con- tributed largely to The Eton M1Tiscellany, and subsequently took an active part in the discussion of the Oxford Union. lie was married in 1839 to Miss Cather- ine Glynne, daughter of Sir Stephen R. Glynne, of Hawarden Castle, Flint- shire. ENTERS PUBLIC LIFE. Shortly after the passing of the first Reform Bill, in 1832, Mr. Gladstone made his entry into public life at New- ark, where he was elected, as the Duke of Newcastle's nominee, in the Tory in- terest, defeating Sergeant Wilde, the popular candidate. It was on May 17, 1883, that he delivered his maiden speech in the House of Commons, in reply to Lord Howick, on th'e slavery question, when he expressed himself as opposed to slavery, but not in favor of hasty and wholesale enfranchise- ment. On the dissolution of the Melbourne Ministry, at the end of 1834, Sir Robert Peel called Mr. Gladstone to his first public appointment as Junior Lord of the Treasury, which post he resigned in February of the following year for that of Under Secretary for .the Colonies. A month afterwards (March 1885), how- ever, Lord John Russell introduced his motion with regard to the temporali- ties of the Irish Church, which Mr. Gladstone vigorously opposed ; but the Ministry were beaten and Lord Mel- bourne again came into power. The death of William IV, in June 1837, caused another general election, when Mr. Gladstone was once more returned for Newark. In 1841, on the accession of Sir Robert Peel, after the defeat of Lord John Russell in the House of Com- mons, Mr. Gladstone accepted office as Vice -President of the Board of Trade and Master of the Mint. He took an active part in the Corn Law debates of 1841,42, and, although opposed to Mr. Villiers, the champion of the Repeal party, the revised tariff scheme was said to be chiefly Mr. Glad - stone's work. He became President of the Board of Trade in 1843, but at the commencement of 1845 he resigned, owing to his opposition to the exten- sion of the Itlaynooth Grant and the establishment of uotr sectarian colleges. In 1846, it having been announced that an immediate revision of the Corn Laws was pending, Sir Robert Peel resigned, finding that certain members of his Gov- ernment would not go with him; but Lord John Russell declining to form a Cebinet, Sir Robert returned to office, with Mr. Gladstone as Colonial Secre- tary and member for Oxford Univerei, ty. On the death of Sir Robert Peel, in 1850, 11r. Gladstone paid ,his memor- able visit to Naples, which laid the foundation of his future friendship with Cavour and Garibaldi. During this period he finally severed himself from the Tories, although holding aloof from the Liberals for a time, and in 1852 became Chancellor of the Excheq- uer in Lord Aberdeen e Administration, but fell with the collapse of that Cabin- et after the Crimean \Var. Subsequent- ly he was appointed by the Earl of Derby Lord Fligh Commissioner to the Ionian Islands. BECAME CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCIIFQUER. In 1859 he accepted the Chancellor- ship of the Exchequer in Lord Palmer- ston's Government. Hie budgets were always looked forward to with absorb- ing interest ; but no little sensation was caused by that of 1861, which an- nounced the total repeal of the much,' debated paper duty. On tho dissolu- tion of 1865, Mr. Gladstone was rejeoted at ,Oxford, but was returned for South Lancashire, reoeivi•ag great ovations at Manchester and Liverpool. On the death of Lord Palmerston, in the au- tumn of that year, Earl Russell became Premier ; hie old foe, Mr. Gladstone, being the leader of the new Reform bill, a "cave'' was formed in the House of Commons, and the Ministry fell in 1866, to be succeeded by the Earl of Derby's Government, with Mr. Disraeli as leader in the Commons, who passed a bill in' 1867, by the operation known as"dishing the Whigs." It was in this year that Mr. Gladstone made his famous declaration in favor of disestablishing the Irish Church. In February 1808 Mr. Disraeli became Prime Minister, but Parliament was dis- solved in the following November, when Mr. Gladstone, rejected in South- west Lancashire, was elected for Green- wich. In the Parliament of 1869 he became Premier for the first time, and thence up to the dissolution of 1874 a number of important measures were placed on the statute book. The Irish Church having been disestablished, and while Europe was distracted with the Franco-Prussian War, the Liberal Gov- ernment carried the Elementary Edu- cation Act the Irish Land Act, the Abol- ishment of Purchase in the Army (by Royal warrant), the Act for Abolishing University Tests, and the Ballot Aot, but they were beaten on the Irish Uni- versity Education bill in 1873, and Mr. Disraeli returned to power in 1874. THE BULGARIAN ATROCITIES. Mr. Gladstone then decided to re- sign the leadership of the Liberal party, but in 1875 aroused much publio in- dignation against the atrocities which the Turks were perpetrating in Bul- garia. In 1879 be made his first visit to Midlothian, and on the dissolution of 1880 he was returned for that con• stituenoy, and became for the second time Premier. Amongst the important Acts he oar- ried between 188u and 1885 may be mentioned the Employers' Liability Act, the second Irish Land Aot, the Hares and Rabbits Act, a reform in the Land Laws, and, eine( of all, the third Reform Aot and Redistribution Aot. After the dissolution of the autumn of 1885, Mr. Gladstone again cavae for- ward for Midlothian, and was re elected by an enormous majority. On the fall of the Salisbury Adminis- tration, Jan. 26, le86, Mr. Gladstone was summoned by the Queen to again take office. He then held as Premier the office of First Lord of the Treasury and Keeper of the Privy Seal. In con- sequence of a divergence of views be, tween some of the leading members of the Liberal party and Mr. Gladstone with respect to bis proposed Irish policy several of his old colleagues, notably Lord lfartington and Sir II. James, did did not join his Cabinet -Mr. Chamber- lain and Mr. 'Trevelyan, who accepted office, resigning March 27. THE UPILISING Ob' THIS UNIONISTS. Mr. Gladstone introduced bills re- lating to the government and land of Ireland, the former in a great speech on April 8, and the sale and purohase of land (Ireland) bill on the 16th. But in the meantime the revolt of a large section of the Liberal party, who were known as Unionists, became pronouns oed, and on April 14 a great Unionist meeting was held at Her Majesty's Theatre to protest against both the Home Rule and the Land Purchase bills, which, the Premier had announced, were indissolubly tied together. On May 10 the second reading of the Gov- ernment of Ireland bill was moved in the House of Commons, and a lengthy debate commenced. On May 27 a meeting was called by Mr. Gladstone at the Foreign Office, the invitation being issued to "all members of the Liberal party, who are desirous, while retaining full freedom on all the • particulars of Irish Government bill, to vote in favor of the establishment of a legislative body in Dublin for the management of the affairs specifically and exclusively Irish.'' More than 200 members at- tended, On June 8 about 1 o'clock in the morning, the vote of the House was taken on the Home Rule bill, when the Government were by a majori- ty of 30 -there being 311 ayes and 341 noes -a result which caused a scene of wild excitement. At a Cabinet Council on the same day the Government re solved to resign, the announcement made in Parliament on June 10, the Sale and Purchase of Land (Ireland) bill being on the same evening withdrawn. On June 14 Mr, Gladstone issued his election address, and on Juno 17 left London for another Midlothian ea1u- paign, bis progress to the north being yet again marked with every sign of en- thusiasm, On July 2 Mr. Gladstone was elected for both Midlothian and Leith, and chose to sit for his old con- stituency, but the result of the general election was to deprive him of power. OOLDWIN SMITH WRITES a I �1 Ci; UI-''rIfEDEAll BRITISH 9'I'ATE:4.IAN. Though Gladstone bad retired from leadership, bis death is a great event. Elis life has been already written in various forms, apd need not be rehears sed here. His career was singular in this respect, that the last half of it was to a great extent the reversal of the first half. Ileet s out a'1'ory, and the nonli- nee of the ultra•Tory Duke of vtwcn ale , the aristocrat who, when taken to task for coercing the votes of his tenants, asked whether he had not a right to do what he liked with his own. He wrote a book on the relations of Church and State, maintaining the most extreme theory of Church Establishment, and he seceded from Peel's Government be- cause Peel proposed to increase the grant to Maynoobh. After the split in the Conservative party on the Cern laws, Gladstone, with the other per- sonal followers of Sir Robert, Peelitee, as they were called, remained for some time independent, hovering between the two parties. The tariff question, which by this time was pretty well out of the way, excepted, Gladstone leaned to the Conservative side. it was gener- ally believed at the time that he would have been attracted to the Conservat, ive leadership had the place been open; but it was occupied by Disraeli, who could not be removed Gladstone then cast in his lot with the Liberals. Hav- ing done this, he was, by the vehem, encs of his natere, carried the full length of his r.ew opinions, and the nominee of the Tory Duke of Newcastle became the author'of measures for the ultra -democratic extension o! the cuff, rage, the disestablishment of the Irish Church, the confiscation of the property of the Irish landlords, and the repeal of the Union; that Union which in his earlier day he had extolled as one of the two great achievements of Pitt. Op- ponents did not fail to note that both Irish Disestablishment and Home Rule were embraced by him at the moment when each was necessary to bring him back to power. Up to the general election of 1885 he had been denouncing Parnell as wading through rapine todis- memberment, throwing him and his fol- lowers into prison as enemies of the realm, and appealing to the country for support against them on the Irish ques- tion. Having embraced Home Rule and allied himself with Parnell, he pro- ceeded in the desperate struggle which ensued to stir up separatism, not in Ireland only, but in Scotland, and Wales. All the time be was no doubt sincerely convinced that ho did the will of Heaven. The end, it is needless to say, was defeat, and the wreok of the Liberal party. fo free trsde, which he had embrac- ed and ably advocated as feel's lieu, tenant, Gladstone remained firmly at. taobed to the end ; though tho triumph of that principle had been so complete that attachment to it at last almost ceased to be a distinctive feature of the character of a public man. In one other respect Gladstone re' mained unchanged. He was to the last a doctrinal high Churchman, and was surrounded by a circle of high Church friends. These men forgave him Irish Disestablishment because the Church of Ireland was separate from that of England, and thoroughly Protestant. As a speaker, Gladstone, it is need- less to say, was highly impressive and effective. He owed his ascendancy in debate to the earnestness of his man- ner, his flow of language, the excellence of his voice and delivery, and, above all, to hie command of subi cots, especially of finance, of which he was the oraole, and his unrivalled power of expounding a complicated measure and piloting it through the House. Elpquent, in the sense in which Chatham, Burke, and Bright were eloquent, he was not. No passage or phrase of his speeches is quoted for ito grandeur or beauty. He had somewhat marred the freshness of MAY 26,1$98 bis style by over -practice in debating societies in his youth, and contracted both as a speaker and a writer a habit of excessive prolixity. While Bright's speeches were carefully prepared, those of Gladstone were extemporary, so far as the language was concerned. It is doubtful even whether he always clear'. ly foreeaw what he would say before he sat down. Gladstone was not only a speaker, but a most voluminous ericer and ou a vast variety of subjects ; on mythology, philology, poetry, cosmogony, and theo- logy, as well as politics. But of the mass of his works only parte of his stud- ies on Houser are generally deemed to be of lasting value. in Gladstone's face the one fine fea- ture was the eye, which was exceeding, ly bright. He had not that delicacy of the brow which has been noted as the common attribute of genius. But his whole form bespoke the nervous energy whioh, with the power and habit of sustained labour, he possessed in the highest degree, Though very excitable, he was not emotional, nor did responsi- bility weigh heavily on bis mind. He would oome home from the stormiest of debates, lay his head upon the pillow, and sleep like a child. He owed much to the assiduous care of a most excel- lent and affectionate wife. 01 his personal virtues it is needless to speak. No character could be more excellent ; in society no man could be more charming ; no man had more de- voted friends. The Live Stock Market. TORONTO. Toronto, May 20. -There was a heav- ier run of cattle than ever at the west- ern cattle yards to -day, and the want of a larger market was increasingly felt.

The importance of maintaining good health is easily understood, and it is really a simple matter if we take a oor- root view of the conditions required. In perfect health the stomach promptly digests food, and thus prepares nourish- ment. The blood is employed to carry this nourishment to the organs, nerves, muscles and tiseuee which need it. The first great essential for good health, there - tore, is pure, rich blood. Now it Is cer- tainly a fact that no medicine has such a record of cures as Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is literally true that there aro hundreds of people alive and well today who would have been in their graves had they not taken Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is depended upon as a family medicine and general regulator of the system by tens of thou- sands of people. This is because Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure. This 18 the secret of its great oneness. Keep your system in good health by keeping your blood pure with Hood's Sarsaparilla, which absolutely ourea when other medi- cines fail to do any good whatever.
