TRunsDAY, SEPTEMBER 15T1i, 1898, Ink Thrown Off ONE THING AND ANOTHER. The editor of the New Era charges us with wanting in fraternity, basing his allegation probably upon the mis- taken idea that we would that some- body else, rather than himself, secure the Liberal nomination for the Com- mons vacancy. We hasten to assure him that •his supposition is altogether wrong, inasmuch as it would afford us the keenest pleasure to hear that Mr. Robert Holmes had been selected to bear the party standard; nor are we alone in that respect, the Conservative part coinciding with us. Now that The Government is in Dread of /1 a Prohibition Victory at the Polls. Montreal, Sept. 8. -There is evidence every day to show that the Laurier Government is in Mental dread of a prohibition victory at the polls. _ La Patrie, Hon. Mr. Taste's organ, throws off the mask completely and publishes an article to -day, written no doubt by the Minister of Public Works himself.The article appeals to the farmers with the statement that, the distilleries be- ing closed, a profitable market for parry barley, corn and other grains %mold be he ultderstands our personal feeling aslost to the farmers of Canada by Pro - I hibitton. La Patrie also states that regards himself better,we ma Y surely I the farmers should not lose sight of the expect he will do the amende honor- fact that total prohibition would entail able and withdraw his doubts about the failure of thousands of canning establishments and throw at least thir•- the matter. ty thousand employees on the street. Mr. Tarte's temperance friends will read the conclusion of the article with pleasure : " Farmers who wish to avoid the evils of drunkenness in their re- spective parishes have the means at their disposal for protecting themselves by the adoption of a municipal by-law prohibiting the opening of saloons and the sale of liquors in the limits of their jurisdiction.' The above views have been brought about by the news from the different portions of this province to the effect that the French-Canadians are not giving that evidence of hostility to the cause of prohibition that was generally expected of then. On the contrary, it is believed that a great number outside of the cities will vote in its favor on the 29th of the month. Those who know also say that the Government have given the leading liquor dealers here the positive nssur- ance that, no difference now the vote goes, prohibitive legislation will not be introduced. „xa Now that their party is in power and they are helping themselves so liber- ally to the many good things -fat offices, fatter contracts and such like - which the opportunity affords, the Liberal editors object to a resurrection of their former insinuations against. their Conservative confreres, whose independence, so it was charged, was warped by being made the recipient of a twelve -dollar advertiserrlebt'trout the Government., Ar a twelve -dollar ad e reirente'd a Tory editor from kicking over the traces, how much rascality at Ottawa can a Grit editor stand,without so much as a grimace, who obtains a twelve -hundred dollar office for his brother ? This is a simple little prob- lem which our friend of the New Era might work out. When he has done so he Will be called upou to send along the snit of clothes and that he so recklessly promised. The definite pledge which the New Era stated Sir Wilfred Laurier made in regard to prohibition is ,net yet forthcoming, though it has been re- quested to give occasion, date and ex- act wording. Brother Holmes' failure to make good his assertion must be accepted as evidence that has he has again been endeavoring to bamboozle the temperance people. If Laurier has made any promise, which can not be interpreted in a variety of ways,now is the time to place it before the people, as it will have an important bearing upon the voting to take place September 29th. The New Era has probably forgotten that dur- ing the debate on the plebiscite bill in the Commons, the Govern- ment was asked if it would follow it up with a prohibitory law, but no answer was forthcoming: Even Laur- ier made no reply. How does Brother Holmes reconcile this with the pledge he talks about, but has so far failed to produce. The reason given by the Liberal organs for postponing the nonven- tion'• to have beenheld on Monday last is that Sir." Wilfred Laurier re- quested it. As some excuse must be given, this is probably as serviceable as any, but that the Premier should concern himself about the date of a distant convention seems rather un- likely. Another reason, and probably more weighty than that given, is that the managers want a little more time to heal the rift in the family. It is understood Barrister Proudfoot is in favor of Mr. W. Coats and wants time to work up a booth in the latter's favor. This unusual adoo is a confession that the Liberals regard the result when placed in the hands of the electors, with considerable dread. ' iv it The return of Governor Cameron to West Huron at this juncture will lead some people to think he comes to put in some quiet hut effective work for his son, who also wants the nomin- ation. If he pulls the wires, M. G. has still a chance to secure the prize as the Cameron influence is yet great not- withstanding that the old war horse has retired from active politics.

According to their published platform, the Patrons of In- dustry started out to secure a tariff for revenue only, reciprocity between Can- ada and the world, prohibition of the Government honusing of railways, effective anti -combine and anti -monop- olistic legislation. the popular election of all county officials except county judges, the abolition of the Canadiaw Senate, rigid economy in every depart- ment of the public service, purity of administration, absolute independence of parliament, and the reservation of public lands for the actual settler. This, it will he noted, was quite a bill of fare. If it had all been served up to a hungry country, surely someone would have noticed the circumstance. But no one seems to have done so - except the Patrons themselves. They announce that they have accomplished their errand ; and, following the illus- trious example of the Anti -Corn Law League, have disbanded. When the Anti -Corn Law League secured the re- peal cf the Corn Laws, it went out of business; leaving only n committee on guard to sound the alarm should these dead and buried laws ever dream of a resurrection. So our Patrons of Indus- try, haying done their work, "muster ,out"; leaving 1ti committee on guard, however, to see that no one tries to undo it, ' . Still it is confusing to read that am-' hitious Patron platform ; and then look abroad on the country as it is and real- ize that it has all come to pass. It seems, for instance, that this is a rev- enue tariff that we have, although the most enthusiastic Patron will admit that it does not wear that eppeau'ance. Then the Canadian Senate is abolished. Thfa wilt be great news to the Govern- ment and many of its closest friends. When last heard from the Senate was alive and decidedly kicking ; but if the errand of the Patrons has been accom- plished it roust have been abolished since prorogation-prnbahly while the Black Rod was taking his holidays. It is certainly a good thipg that the Patrons appointed that "alarm committee"; for it will be just like the Senate to ignore the trifling circttrnstance of its abolition when Parliament meets again. The Patrons, however, did certainly do one thing in the full light of day. They helped to put this Liberal Govern- ment in power. Can this have been burned. Several wheels have disap- their errand. which, being accomplish- peered from peoples' homes the past h two seasons. Messrs. Carr, Toronto St., and Shav- er, late of Kingston, employed nt the elevator, who were standing upon a hoard on the tramway at sprue height, were precipitated some feet by the hoard breaking with the united weight. Mr. Carr had 3 ribs broken, but Mr. Shaver escaped injury. We congratulate our young towns- men, the Cattle Bros., upon their ener- gy in pushing their acetylino system into public. favor. The pulpit of Knox church was very ably filled on Sunday last by the Rev. W. A. Bradley, B. A. of Mitchell, in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Anderson, who wits called upon to conduct anniversary services nt Mit- chell. The Rev. Mr.B raule it.nched ch 11 p very effectively from the ii1 chap. of St. Matthew and 17th (last) verse. pointing out the power swayed by Christ in being God and man. The stillness of heaven he said was broken three times by the voice of God, 1st, nt the Transfiguration on the mount, 2nd when the disciples said " rt thun- dered " and 3rd when Christ was bap- tized in the river .Jordan, when the Spirit of (Ind descended like a dove saying, " This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." Shewing the multitudes that gathered that Christ was God's ideal of greatness, mixing with the poor 88 well as the rich, the sinner as well as the saint, yet keeping his man's life untarnished by the taint of sin. Rev. Mr. Bradley also spoke very clearly to the point on the too general habit of criticism, if we go to church to criticize we will al- ways find some food for Briticism rind little defects are sm er to fill one's mind test eloquence, of which than the grin q he illustrated n little eirenrnstance in the dress of Sir Daniel Wilson. Ono morning that gentleman was lecturing the students in Toronto University in his most eloquent, manner wholly oblivious of the inattention of She students. Another plenabng feature was the revd. gentleman's reference to sympathy. Unless people have borne a sorrow it is useless for them to try to calm the sorrow of their friends. We must weep with those who weep. Rev. Mr. Bradley is an impressive speaker, his voice being clear and soft almost like n woman's voice, an' it little Irish accent floating o'er. The choir due ing the collection, under the Capable management of the organist, Mrs. W. R. Logan, sang very sweetly the an- them, "Come unto Me," the soli of sweet quality. This is no doubt one which was very nicely rendered by the oldest apple trees in the county. Mrs, (Rev.) Anderson. R'i'EMEER 15) 1898 Patrons Still Hold On.

Acute Rheumatism Pains In the Foot and Limb -A Complete Cure Accomplished by Hood's Sarsaparilla. "For a number of years I waa afflicted with acute rheumatism in my left side and all the way down my limb into my toot. I live five blocks from my work and had to stop and rent several times in going and coming. I could get no relief from my trouble and was on the point of giv- ing up my job when I happened to hear of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I purchased a bottle of this medicine and a vial of Hood's Pills and began taking them. Before I had half finished them I was relieved and It was not long before I was completely cured. I never lose an opportunity to praise Hood's Sarsaparilla, for my cure meant a great deal to me, as I have a fam- ily and must always be at my post."
