"Mr. Fisher," says Hon. Mr. Tarte,
in his paper, La Patrie, "is the only
Minister who has spoken in favor of
prohibition, and he wisely took care to
saythat hethe name

of the Government."
*
The result of next Thursday's voting
will settle the fate of prohibition for a
decade at least, for if not carried the
politicians will not touch the question
for years, even with a pair of tongs. It
is the duty of prohibitionists to make
the majority as emphatic as possible.

'The 'voteshould be decisive so ♦ that

no excuse for evasion, for it is a well
known fact that the Cabinet, from the
Premier to its least important member,
would be pleased to be well rid of pro-
hibition, indeed, it is understood in
Quebec that a minister, presumably
Hon. J. I. Tarte, has given the liquor
men to underittood that they need not
stand in dread of a prohibitory law
being introduced by the present Gov-
ern ment.
If Sir Wilfred Laurier is a party to
this it will be quite in keeping with his
Course daring the campaign of '90 when
he sent his emissaries to leading

that they need not fear a lowering of

concerned, in the event of the Liberal

fred was stumping the rural constitu-
encies and denouncing the N. P. This
was not consistency, but it was Lau-
rierism. Are the prohibitionists being
dealt with as were the manufacturers ?
A despatch from Ottawa says :—The

by a displacement of taxation. Sir
Wilfrid seems to have spoken both
ways on the subject, But in the first
case, when he declared that prohibition
meant direct taxation, be was talking
to a deputation representing the liquor
interests. In the second instance he
was talking in Parliament on the Pleb-
iscite bill, which was intended to ap-
pease the prohibitionists.

tolr Accused of Beitiig an Office -
Seeker and "Waiting for

(From the Godertch Signal.)
The Seaforth Expositor in its last
issue denies that its remarks of some
weeks ago, referring to the letting of
the Goderich breakwater contract,
were malicious, and now endeavors to
bolster up its former position by a
series of malicious insinuations and
falsehoods that do no credit to the in-
dividual who is responsible for them,
whether he writes them or not. What,
the Signal took exception to was that
a man, who claimed to be a leading
light in the Liberal party, shoul
asperse the motives of the Dominion
Government by publishing the follow-
ing paragraph :
"If, however, it turns out that the contract
has been given to Mr. McGillIcuddy's firm in
order to silence a -'kicker" in the Reform ranks,
then we havo no hesitation in saying that the
transaction will do the Government ten times
more harm than any individual member of the
party can ever do it good."
Had that sentence been penned by the
meanest and most contemptible op-
ponent of the Government and the
bitterest and most virulent enemy of
Mr. McGillicuddy, it could not have
contained a blacker or baser insinua-
tion against the action of the Govern-
ment or the personal reputation of Mr.
McGillicuddy. What right has this
Seaforth editor, who has proved him-
self to be a political nonentity and a
millstone to his party, to attribute base
motives to the Dominion Government
merely for the purpose of writing a
"however and nevertheless" article in
his newspaper•? Is he not the one who
has been giving "comfort and encour-
agement" to the enemy?
Mr. McLean is not pleased with the
Signal for pointing out that bis previ-
ous article was actuated by malice and
designed to do injury to the Reform
party, and he gives evidence of his dis-
pleasure this week by endeavoring to
e as malignant and mendacious as he
possibly can be against Mr• McGilli-
cuddy, taking care this time to throw,
no imputation on the Government.
Amongst other things he refers to Mr.
McGillicuddy as having "stabbed" the
Reform party; .as being a "kicker" in
the Reform ranks; as having givl'n
"carping and unnecessary criticism" at
a most critical time; as having been an
office -seeker, who failing to get what
he sought, snarled and carped ai the
leaders of the party. To these refer-
ences we need only say :
(1) That the statements that Mr.
McGillicuddy "stabbed the Reform
party," was "a, kicker in the Reform
ranks," or even "gave carping or un-
necessary criticism at a most critical
time," are absolute falsehoods, and if
M. Y. McLean doesn't know them to
be false he is a greater fool than we
reason w y that want should not be take him to be. It is true that two
years before the recent local elections
we pointed out to the Government in
two issues of the Signal that the poli-
cy which they had been following for
years, of pitchforking members, ex -
members and their relatives into office,
to the exclusion of the claims of all
outside of that charmed circle, was
wrong, and that Huron county would
not stand it. M. Y. McLean and some
other statesmen of like calibre gave the
Government to understand that Huron
county would stand anything, and say
never a word and do never a thing.
The Government took McLean's ad-
vice and ignored McGillicuddy's, and
the taking of that advice cost McLean
his political life and broke up the Lib-
eral phalanx in Huron. The Signal's
criticism at the time was not "carping"
and events have shown that it was
very "necessary," and had the Govern-
ment heeded the warning they would
bot have had so hard a time in Huron
and in other counties at. the late Pro-
vincr•;'Ielection. - ..
(2) Then, Mr. McLean says that'Mr.
McGillicuddy was an "office -seeker,"
and, being disappoi_nted,.'tsnarled-and
carped at the leaders of the party."
To the first count—being an office -
seeker -we plead guilty. After nearly
a quarter of a century's faithful .ser-
vice in the not very remunerative busi-
ness of making politicians out of "no-
bodies," or as Kipling says of Sergeant
What's -His -Name in "making men out
of mud," Mr. McGillicuddy came to the
conclusion that, when an office became
vacant, he had as much right to it as
any other man in Huron, and he
thinks so still. At that time Mr.McLean
was of similar opinion, and was an ap-
plicant for the self -same position. The
only difference between the two men
was that McGillicuddy made no appli-
cation until the Office was vacant,
whilst McLean put in his application
as soon as the Registrar was taken ill,
and about a year before the death of
the then incumbent. If we mistake
not, he was the first one on the door-
step, waiting for Death to step in and
give him a job. Then it was that Mc-
Lean came to the conclusion that the
members had the pull, and on the step-
ping aside of Archibald Bishop he was
successful in securing the nomination.
This put him out of the immediate
race for the registrarship, but his ac-
tion in the deal that followed would
make a Most interesting story were it
Siven as the facts are known to the
ignal. His recent defeat in South
Huron has put him now amongst the
the eligible office -seekers, and it is a
very open secret in Seaforth that he
has his ear to the ground and his eye
toward the West, even before a vacan-
cy exists, proving that history repeats
itself in his case. And yet this man
dares upbraid another for seeking office
in an honest and legitimate manner.
As to the statement that McGillicuddy
"snarled at the leaders of the party,"
the accusation is absolutely false, ns no
Liberal leader has ever been assailed in
these columns. True, once or twice,
we have had to go after place -hunters
of the McLean stamp, after they had
become political land pirates, but that
was not treason to the party ; that, was
an endeavor' to hinder the crooked
chaps from hoisting the black flag on
the good old Liberal craft. Even if it
be dubbed treason to do so, by McLean
and hid Expositor, we will continue to
denounce that grade of horned cattle ;
and a government contract (for which,
by the way, we are not under the
slightest obligation to any member of
the Government) or anything else will
not hinder us from telling the truth
and shaming the devil.
supplied. I have said since I came to
Canada that I wonder why English-
men did not come and settle here. I
am quite sure that if they knew the
country better, and had seen it as I
have seen it, and think as I think,
they would have come here and not
return to the Mother Country. No
effort on my part will be wanting to
induce them to do it.

The statement for the last fiscal year
shows that the Dominion Government
expended over forty-four million dol-

thirty-seven millions, as made by the

Mr. F. C. Wade, who for services
rendered Laurier in Manitoba during
the School agitation, which preceded
the general elections of '90, was sent to
the Yukon as crown prosecutor, has
returned and admits in part that the
charges made against the officials of
claim staking were only too true. Mr.
Wade, according to his own acknow-
ledgement, not only staked out claims
but rented water fronts. This judici-
ous mixture of private and public busi-
ness was no doubt profitable sothat
Mr. Wade may now take life easier.
But that an official of the Government,
at a large salary and expenses, should
take advantage of his position and the
"inside" information which would thus
reach Sim
to compete with prospectors,
who had perhaps sacrificed their all for
a " grub stake," is nothing short of
scandalous. If the Laurier Govern-
ment has more regard for public de-
cency than it has for the welfare of its
friends an investigation will at once be
instituted.
In the old days" -the Toronto Globe
used to print after the names• of Con-

by their publishers for printing done
for the Government. This was consid-
ered the effective answer to anything
the said papers might say in approval
of the Conservative Government, its
policy or its acts. Now, some papers,
not all of them Conservative, are print-
ing statements to account for the much
larger sura the Liberal Government
gave as a subsidy for the Crow's Nest
Railway than the Conservative Govern-
ment had agreed on. The statements
allege that people Interested in the
Globe are also interested in the coal
lands and money received from the
Canadian Pacific Railway, of a total
value of $1,500,000. This interest, it is
further alleged, accopnts for the
Globe's advocacy of the more costly
arrangement for the construction of
the line. The case is an interesting

WEDDING BELLE.—On Wednesday
of last week there occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr. D. Scott, 7th con„ one of
those pleasant events which never fail
to arouse interest. We refer to the
marriage of Annie H. B., second daugh-
ter of Mr. Scott, to Mr. J, E. Fells, a
prosperous young �fapinrer of the 7th.
Con. At- twelve O'clock the wedding
march, played by Miss McClelland of
Belgrave, proclaimed the arrival of the
wedding party in t aiparlor, and soon
the impressive ceremony was perform-
ed by Rev. Mr. Hall. The bride was
handsomely attired in cream silk, trim-
med with lace and ribbon, and was
supported by her sister, Miss Belle,
also attired in cream, while little Annie
Erskine of Atwood acted as bridesmaid.
The groom was assisted by Mr. J. S.
McKinnon of Blyth, and D. C. Scott,
nephew of the bride, made a charming
little page. The usual congratulations
having been extended, the party re-
paired to the dining -room, where were
spread tables well laden with delicacies
calculated to satisfy the inner man,
and so beautifully decorated with
flowers as to please the most critical
eye. The britlal party left amid show-
ers of the proverbial rice and good
wishes for the south -bound train, and
will spend a short honeymoon at Lon-
don and other points before settling

trying different remedies which did me
no good. I would have severe spells of
coughing that would leave me prostrate.
I was told that my lunge were affected,
and my heart and kidneys were in a bad
condition. In fact, it seemed as though
every organ was out of order. I felt that
something mast be done and my brother
advised me to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. I
procured a bottle and began taking it.
Before it was half gone I telt that it was
helping me. I continued its use and it
has made me a now woman. I cannot
praise it too highly." Mas. Strust rlt-
