NIMMO, Proprietor. flinton gyw tva FRIDA1, FEBRUARY 19, 1897 • Voderich must be growing, because St has a Million in its population. ' Buffalo cattle dealers are jubilant over the abolition of the vexatious quarantine arrangements which had .clone so much to shut that tnarket to Canadian cattle. Shipments are again beginning, and our farmers will share largely in the benefits of the new ar- rangement. A Kingston dispatch says that Judge. McGuire, of Prince Albert, N.W.T., who is on a visit to theaLimestone city his former home, speaking of the Mani- toba school settlement declared that Mr Laurier could not have made a bet- ter settlement. The significance of these words lies in the fact that Judge 'McGuire is a Roman Catholic and a staunch, Conservative. Under an old law the salaries of civil servants cannot be garnisheed, and the merchants of Ottawa have been losing so much by government em- ployes refusing to pay their accounts that they are going to wait upon the Government and urge the passing of a Jaw that will remove this unfair pro- tection accorded to Geyernment em- ployee. The Government should not allow this state of affairs to exist for one hour. President Cleveland, probably ac- companied by his wife, will start on a trip around the world soon after the inauguration of his suceessor. It is an- nounced that Mr Cleveland ha ri already made arrangements to take passage by the C, P. R. railway and steamships to the east, and that he will travel as private citizen, thereby striving to avoid public functions. In choosing the, great Canadian line, the retiring Presideht has shown good sense. His comfort will be well looked after. Mr Laurier has made the statement that unless the American people exper- ience a change ,of heart in regard to alien labor legislation it would be ne- cessary for Canada to retaliate. Lib - crate would not like the idea of resort- ing to such an unneighborly thing as an alien labor law, hut it may be fleece- . sary.' We are confronted with a con - not a theory, as the American's say, and if retaliation should success ie Winging our neighbors to their senses the end will have justified the means. There are a ;good many Amer- icans earning their' bread on the Can- adian side of' the fine, and their jobs might come in quite bandy for some of our own citizens, The double standard in politics is the bane, the curse of this country. No one need deny that even fairly, good 'citizens do in polities what they would never do in business. What does the term "good polities" mean? It. simply ,xrietenir that "good" in politics Means ;something different from good in oth- 'et departments of human activity. Canada will never amount to much as a nation until her , people understand. that 'Wrong -delay in politics' is just'as had ico tvirong-dpnag ittlyWhere.

The Conservative Town Council of Collingwood has shovvri its soreness over the etate of the party in Domin- ion politics by summarily dismissing every Liberal in the employment of the corporation, although Sleets the Dominion elections in June thole has not been a solitary change In the Gov- ernment officials In the riding, and they are all Conservatives. The action of the council last week lute caused a great deal of ill feeling. One of the officials dismissed is the ohia of Police, who has been an efficient officer for over twenty years. Ne charge what- ever was brought against any of the officers; in fact, no attempt is made to disguise the fact that they are dismiss- ed for political reasons only, as the three Reformers are the only ones in- terfered with. The Nova Scotia House of Assembly Fiiday passed a bill appointing July 'ist a public holiday. This is the first time since Confederation that the Do- minion day has been recognized in Nova Scotia as a legal holiday, This is a signifieant. It will be remember that Nova Scotia went into Confedera- tion against its will. Thirty years have passed since, during nearly all of which time a Conservative Govern- ment was in power; yet Nova Scotia never saw fit to show its et:conciliation by recognizing Dominion Day. It was only when a Liberal GI-overran:tent, with a policy that promises to make Canada a united and prosperous nation, assum- ed control that the last memory of the old opposition was wiped out, and Nova Scotia decided to take her place with the other provinces in celebrating the birthday of the young Dominion No Wonder They Flourished e ---- Newspaper men knew during the last few years that some of the Con- servative papers were receiving assis- tance from the Dominion Government that was excessive for the service ren- dered, and without which some of them would never have been able to exist, but it was not always possible to define particulars. If the average country newspaper receives, in govern- ment, advertising, from $25 to 0100 a year, it is doing exceedingly well. Here is a case showing that a small country paper received an enormously unfair amount for trifling servrces, the particulars being supplied by the edi- tor of that paper himself: - Publishing the local post office time table, worth at the most Publishing the In tercolonial R. R. time table (bardly worth a cent in the locality where It was published) $100. Publishing advertisement ra statutes of Can- o.da—$250. Making a total -of $450 received an- nually from the Dominion Treasury, far services that would have been well paid at $100. All For Free Trade The Dominion Tariff Commissioners concluded their enquiry in Winnipeg last week. Most of the cline was oc- cupied in hearing representative agri- culturists, the remarkable feature of whose testimony was the unanimity with which they demanded free trade. They declared almost without excep- tion that Mr Laurier obtained their votes on the pledge of free trade, and 'that if he did not carry out his promis- es there would be trouble in the Libe- ral camp. Many of the delegates pronounced in favor of direct taxation. Farmer Robt. Hogg, of Russell said that the Governmennt was on trial now and this tariff commission would be judged by the results. Already there were mutterings of discontent at the u tter- aneee of members of the Gnvernment. If the Liberal Government did not ful- fil its promises of free trade,it would be swept from power. ' John E. Smith, representative of Braedon, said if Mr Laurier gave them free trade, they would all take down the motto, "God Bless Our Home" from Our vvalle and substitate one reading "God Bless Wilfrid Laurier."

We regret to announce the death of Mr R. McLeod, a native of Seafortb. He passed away on Suriday evening last. He was a victim of that fatal disease, consumption, aod has been in delicate health for years, About a year ago he went to Colorado with the hope that the change of climate would do him good, but the disease had too lb no a hold of his constitution for any change to be of service. Ernest, son of Mr Geo.Hill, Stephen, had an unpleasant experience on Fri- day last. The lad, who has been work- ing for Mr Wm.

Experience proves the merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It cures all forms of blood diseases, tones the stomach, builds up the nerves. A stery of wholesale murder comes from a small village in Hungary. It appears that there a large number of unfaithful wives in the village, who were destrous of ridding themselves of their husbands. Eighteen of them procured poison, which they administered to their husbands, with fatal.results, Tbe murder() have caused the greatest excitement among the peasnats, to which class the women and their victims !"elIOfne belonged. xperiment now being made on the,Grand Trunk Railway' turns out successfully, the entire system of the railway in &short tine will be equipped with electric signal bells at every cros- sing. One of these electric bells is now being placed in position at Shoebot- tom's crossing just west of St.Mary's. The feature of the electric bell is that it will commence to ring when the train is within half a mile of either side of the crossing, thus warning tra- vellers on the road. Shoehottom's cressieg is the only point in Canada Where an electric Warning bell is in use.

Meet gill were on fire. It Yves only too true, Smoke was seen issturig frona the roa of the west block. At first it was evicleritly a small blaze,but there was no water available to put it out and it spread until at least $100,000 worth ef damage was done ta the buildings, not Oa apeak of the loss to furniture, apparatus and documents, The week block consists of the old original portion, facing partly west and partly south, and the, new portion built by Mr McKenzie, • facing partiY north, The fire burst through the roof close to the new wing, but the event proved that the McKenzie wing, was fireproof and stopped the progress of the fire northwards. The flames then steadily travelled south arid east until it became' a regular confla- gration. The fire was discovered at 4.15 under the floor of the third storey of the Public Works Department. It was then about twenty feet in extent and the employees thought all they had to do was to unwind the hose on the wall and turn en the hydrant. This was speedily done, but a stream about three feet in length was all they could get, and the old hose leaked in so many places that as much water ran out through the holes as went through the nozzle. There was no pressure owing to the building being on a hill and the fire on the top storey of the building. Cher-lee:al fire :extinguishers were procured but proved ineffective. An alarm was then sent out for a city fire brigade, and it proved at first to he on a par with the fire extinguishing apparatus of the Department of Public Works. All the hydrants on the grounds of Parliainent Hill around the block were found to be frozen. For nearly half an hour no water was turned on, and when it did coinerthe streams were small and feeble. Mean- time the flames had pierced the roof and were seen to }lave rot' - fierce. There was fortunrtely no lqr Tarte, the Minister of Public Works, bad shortly befcre left hi fice and gone to his room at the R House to work. lie hastened bac hearime- of the fire and started in move his private papers. The was now coming through the ce but everything of value except furniture had been removed from the Minister's room. The buildings, as everyone knows, stand on a hill and the direct pressure system which ob- tains in Ottawa was far too weak to force the the water even as high as the roof where the fire was, so it burn- ed on uninterruptedly until it burned itself out. • wien7.

The Dominion Government is its own insurer, though at one time they insured the public bnildings. The fire is supposed to have been started by a careless clerk smoking.
