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." * * e -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." The People's Furniture Store O-RFAT DISSOLUTION SALE FOR CASH ONLY.. This is no fake.

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.

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 at .11 E.
