---I1r. John Lee, candidate of
the Liberal party in East Kent,
declares that he has learned to ad-
mire Mr. Whitney, the Liberal
Conservative leader, because he is
a man of Conscientious Convictions,
with the courage of them."
•
The Peterborough Review says: -
"The honest, quiet, thinking vote
of the province will effectually do
the work it so nearly did four years
ago. The signs of change aro to
be found in the acknowledgment
that is made by so many Liberals
that a change will do no harm.
Whitney will win."

-The Weekly Sun has this to
say to farmers :-
,Last week two bills. in your in-
terest relating to cattle guards
and drainage across railways were
hung up. In the same time over
a dozen bills in the interest of
railway promoters were passed -
and don't you forget it when elec-
tion day comes around."
The Harriston Tribune (Liberal)
says :-"Barrister Anson Spotton,
B. A., of our town has been nomi-
nated as the Conservative candi-
date in East Huron, where his na-
tive home is and where he holds
considerable property. There is
only one regret in his candidature,
and that is that Mr. Spotton is too
good a man to be sacrificed."

stock yards of the '\Vest at St.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Paul and Chicago. Having got rid
of competition in the live stock
markets, the trust proceeds to get
rebates from the railways, which
squeezes out any remaining rivals.
Then they proceed to force the in-
dependent wholesalers to buy from
thein with the alternative of being
driven out of business by under-
selling if they refuse. Having thus
got both ends of the trade in their
nands, they proceed to put up pri-
ces to wholesalers and retailers,
who buy direct, Tho recent in-
crease of from three to four cents
per pound in Eastern cities is said
to represent increased profits of
the trust over those of 1901 of
$100,000,000.

-A woman Socialist candidate
was chosen to contest North To-
ronto. The Attorney -General's de-
partment has, however, decided a
woman cannot be a member of the
Legislature. This squelches Mrs.
Darwin's political aspirations.
Wouldn't she have been lonely in
the Legislature ? She would have
had to work hard to "have the last
word," with so many male mem-
bers in the Legislature.

-The city of St. Paul now pos-
sesses the distinction of having the
largest railway station in the Unit-
ed States. It is 630 feet long and
600 feet wide, and bas thirty tracks,
enough to handle ten incoming and
ten outgoing trains simultaneously.
The city of Boston has the next to
the largest station for passenger
service in the country. The Union
Station in Boston, on the north
side, has a length of 500 feet, a
width of 460 feet, and twenty-three
tracks. Both of these huge sta-
tions are to be surpassed by the
new Southern Union Station in
Boston, upon which work was be-
gun in January, 1897, and which
is now nearing completion. It is
designed to be the biggest railroad
station in the United States.

-Dr. Montague has returned
from Australia, and recently gave
an address on the country. He
said that the Australians were go-
ahead, hospitable, kindly, obliging,
with door open and table always
spread ; manly, enthusiastic, indus-
trious and economical of strength.
They believe strength laid in rest,
and had Wednesday and Saturday
half holidays, besides being ready
to stop work when the bell rang.
The Australians, too, were true to
the empire, as the events of the
past two years in Africa showed.
They had given their sons for the
defense of the empire. It would
probably be never known how
inueh the colonies had done. It
would never be shown in the num-
ber of lives or blood shed. When
Canada and Australia gave notice,
with no uncertain sound, to the
Boors and others to keep their
hands off, it was known her ene-
mies had to deal with the mother's
sons. Social life was depicted, and
the doctor passed on to the political
life. Legislation was more advan-
ced and the elections were purer
and better. Canada was behind
Australia in the matter of imperial
defense. The ]atter was paying
out $450,000 yearly for the main-
tenance of four or five armed crui-
sers. Canada, he thought, ought
to share in the defense of the em-
pire.

-Grateful for favors past and to
come, the railway companies have
provided each member of the Do-
minion Parliament with a. full out-
fit of free passes, and a grateful
country furnishes a case to put the
passes in -a pass case as it is called.
The Auditor -General, with painful
exactness, states that 313 pass
cases, costing'$375.60, were includ-
ed in last year's supplies. Besides
a leather trunk and a box to en-
close his stationery, there was add-
ed this year for each member a sat-
chell of pig -skin leather -of a han-
dy size for a shift from Friday to
Monday. So it comes about that
on Friday there is a general pack-
ing of shifts in the pigskins, and
the passes are, properly adjusted in
the leather frames inside the cases.
Then, with spring overcoats, suits,
hats, and feet, the procession starts
for the station -each one feeling
comfortable and complete for his
journey. -[Weekly Sun.
-The forthcoming Provincial
elections will be the tenth since
Confederation. At Confederation,
in 1867, a coalition Government
was formed under John Sandfield
Macdonald. In the general elec•
tion of 1871 this Government lost
many supporters and resigned after
the meeting of the Legislature.
Edward Blake then became Prime
Minister with a purely Liberal
Cabinet. Since that -thirty-one
years --Liberals have ruled Ontario.

At the last Provincial election, the
Conservatives had a majority of

held power by very questionable
means. IT 18 TIME FOR A

(Toronto News.)
The iron heel of the Morgan
steamship combine is evidently be-
ing felt by the Canadian Immigra-
tion Department. Two representa-
tives of the combine, according to
Mr. W. T. R. Preston, Immigrant
Commissioner in Great Britain,
have threatened to divert immigra-
tion from Canada unless sub -agents
throughout the United Kingdom
make efforts to have immigrants
cross the Atlantic by steamship
lines which belong to the trust.
If this statement is true, it is
time both the Imperial and Cana-
dian Governments were up and do-
ing, Of the steamship lines plying
between Canadian and British ports
which carry immigrants, the Allan
and Dominion Lines are said to be-
long to the combine, and the Eider -
Dempster Line does not. It would
appear that the intention of the
trust is to compel all immigration
agents of Canada in the United
Kingdom to route intending mi-
grants by the Dominion or Allan
Lines, instead of, as at present, al-
lowing them to travel by any line
they choose. This statement is
given color by the announcement
that Mr. W. D. Campbell, the man-
ager of the Elder -Dempster Line,
has been summoned to England to
confer with the principals of his
company on the subject.
If the report is true, the Elder -
Dempster Company will be serious
losers, ter in the past they have
carried large numbers of immi-
grants. But the most serious as-
pect of the matter is, that if the
combine is able to hold up the Ca-
nadian Goverment in the routing
of intending emigrants, it will like-
ly be able to interfere in a more se-
rious way with Canadian trans-At-
lantic commerce, by the same threat
of diversion of trade.
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still in.s the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers' and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bili-
ousness. Doctors were scarce, and.
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or heart failure,
ete. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fernien•
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action of the system
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and had with headaches and other
aches. You only need a few doses of
Green's August Flower. in'lipid form,
to make satisfied there re is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get D. G. G. Green's reliable remedies
