Never perhaps has the Ontario Government received such severe criticism from Liberal newspapers in this county as fell to its lot last week. The recent appointments to the offices of Registrar and Crown Attorney have proved very unsatis- factory to South and East Huron electors, After holding the Regis- trarship open for years, fearing to make the appointments, the Gov- ernment at last ventured on the thin ice and has, apparently, bro- ken through, got its feet wet and is likely to have cold chills. Below we give extracts from Liberal papers, to show the dis- satisfaction the appointments have caused. THE ROYAL GROCERY A SNAP IN Dinner Sets If you are thinking of purchasing a Dinner Set, we would ask you to call and inspect our stock before buying. One hundred and three pieces in each Set, and all of them have four dozen plates, instead of three dozen. Ten. dollars to Thirteen and a half per Set. Peaches This will be the big week for Peaches. Leave your or- ders where you are sure to get good sound fruit. Try our yellow canning Peach—it is a dandy. at Griffin's --A deputation from the Farm- ars' Association waited on Premier Ross last week and presented their requests on the following :-1—A sweeping reduction in freight rates. 2—A passenger rate of 2 cents per Milo. 3--Equalizatieu of taxation as embodied in the Pettypiece bill. 4 -Inspection of loan companies' books. 5 -The public ownership of public utilities, 6—The adop- tion of the initiative and referen- dum. Premier Ross listened and did a little thinking. (SLY= STANDARD.) "In giving the Registrarship to Mr. Coates, after being vacant for four years, the Ontario Government made one of the rankest and rotten- est appointments that was ever thrust upon the intelligent electors of Huron county." Here is another shot from the same source :— "Mr. Coates' appointment is an unpopular one, and gives stronger evidence than ever, that the Ontario Government is not conducting the affairs of this province in the honor- able, straight -forward manner it should." Just what Conservatives have contended for years, brother. The Brussels Post declares that the Government has "blundered," and says :— "The assertion was repeatedly made by members of the Cabinet that no riding could get both offices, and yet in the face of this, the very thing they said could not be done was done, East Huron got it all right ; in the modern Americanism, they got it in the neck." Here are a few hard cracks for the Government from that staunch Liberal paper, the Seaforth Ex- positor :— "A nice mess they have made of it." "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad—would seem to be specially applicable to the Ontario Government at the present time. not only in this, but other matters." "The appointments are a direct in- sult, a slap in the face, to every Re- former in East and South Huron, and we misjudge the mettle and in-- dependence n-dependence of the men if they do not resent it when the time comes." Regarding Hon.. J. M. Gibson, the Expositor says :— "He seems to be the species of pa triot who is not only willing to sacra. flee all his own relations, but all his wife's relatives as well, on the altar of his country by appointing them to public positions which happen, for the time being, to be under his con- trol. If we are correctly informed, it was this detestable nepotism that drove Mr. Gibson from his home constituency of Hamilton and sent him a wanderer to East Wellington, where he now holds a seat, only on sufferance."-_, The Expositor declares that it speaks in sorrow, and not in anger, and adds :• — "The Expositor, under its present management, has been a consistent and conscientious supporter of the Ontario Government for over thirty years. It has been so because, in the main, we believed them to be right, but above all because we believed them to be honest. It is because this faith has been shaken and that WE xxow things have been done in connection with these appointments that we know not to be right and not to be honest, that we speak as we do." = .....,-, Wo ilave The Stock M E..... ..... _.... ._..... ......- ..... ..... _....

Yet it is a sample of the Dominion Government's. efforts along that line. The unne- cessary G. T. Pacific that, accord- ing to Hon. Mr. Blair, will cost 139 million dollars, and open wide the door for grafters of the Cap. Sulli- van type, is another specimen. 4. —At a meeting of the American Veterinary Association, held at Ot- tawa last week, Dr. Salmon, head of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Husbandry, said Dr. Foch was wrong in asserting that tuberculosis could not be transmitted from ani- mals to human beings. The dan- ger of contagion through drinking milk taken from tuberculous cows could, Dr. Salmon said, no longer be doubted. He declared that 25 per cent. of the cases of tuberculo- sis in children, or a greater or smaller proportion, are due to in- fection from animal resources. Hence the necessity that adequate means should be taken against in- fection through the products of dis- eased animals. —It is said all the Government departments in Ottawa are short of cash. It cannot be—for was there not a surplus of thirteen millions a few weeks ago ? —The anxiety of the Grits to elevate Mr. Foy to the bench is only equalled by their fear that the people will very soon elevate him to a Cabinet position beside Mr. Whitney. .+' —That "Britannia rules the waves" is shown from a commer- cial point of view by the statistics of the , world's shipping. The world's shipping consists of 29,943 steamers and sailing vessels, repre- senting a tonnage of 33,642,131 tons. Of this vast tonnage, nearly half is owned by Britain and her colonies. The rest of the nations combined have more than twice as much sailing tonnage as the British but their steam tonnage falls a million short of the latter. Calcu- lated on the recognized basis that steamers are three times more effec- tive in carrying power thansailing vessels, it will be seen that the British mercantile marine more than maintains its supremacy. Britannia rules the waves. —That old plank in the Liberal platform—"Reform of the Senate" —has probably begun. The Bar of the Senate has been closed to out- siders, and is reserved strictly for the use of the Senators. :+: —The contract for the erection of Canada's Pavilion at the St. Louis World's Fair has been awarded. The building will be one hundred feet square, surrounded by porticos, and will be two stories high. The cost will be $28,000. :+ —It is reported from England that there were 15,000 operations in Great Britain last year for ap- pendicitis, with ninety per cent. of recoveries. Sir Frederick Treves, the noted British surgeon, who has just retired from practice at 50 years of age, is credited with hav- ing performed one thousand opera- tions for appendicitis without losing a single case. —September 15th was the 473rd day of North Renfrew vacancy. The Toronto News, edited by J. S. Willison, formerly editor of the Globe, says :—The Administration for merely partizan purposes is de- fying the spirit of the Constitution, aad is deliberately keeping a con- stituency unrepresented. For near- ly seventy weeks North Renfrew has had no member. No one de- nies that this is wrong. The out- rage simply points to the fact that British institutions tacitly assume that they will be worked by straight -forward publicists, not by machine politicians. But as Onta- rio is now governed it is evident that it is becoming more and more necessary to have recourse to the American system of formal legisla- tive checks and guards. The next step must be to make it statutory to hold bye -elections within a cer- tain period after the occurrence of the vacancy. THE PEOPLE'S POPULAR STORE Macdonald Block, Wingham, JNO. & JAS. H.

The Paisley Advocate says :--It appeals at present that the Liberals will have as their candidate at the ensuing Dominion election either Mr, Peter McKenzie of Kinloss or Mr. A. W. Robb of Walkerton. Others who have been mentioned for .the nomination are Dr, fitewart and Mr. Bohn Coumans. The Con- servatives will place either Mr. IL Cargill, M. P., or ex -warden J. J. Donnelly' in the field, and with either one they► ,consider there is a good fighting chance, • —No one will question the loyal- ty of Col. Denison of Toronto. When speaking recently at the Congress of the Chambers of Com- merce in Montreal, regarding the relations of Canada and the United States, he said :—"I hope we will have no war, but there is a possi- bility, there is a probability all the time, that such a thing may hap- pen. Only a few years ago there came a message on the Venezuela business from the president of the United States (a matter with which. the United States had nothing un- der the sun to do) couched in such terms that between any other two nations war would certainly have resulted, and on the sending of this message 42 out of 45 Governors of States telegraphed at once to, the President and offered the services of their militia and •forces to attack Canada. (Applause.) Well, we were not afraid of them. (Ap- plause.) Well, gentlemen, you ra- ther laugh at that. (Cries of No, no.) I tell you when they were one hundred to one they, could not thrash us, and they cannot thrash us to -day when they are fifteen to one." (Cheers.) Norwu.—The question is how can Robt.
