A Square Deal.
We want your business—we're wilting to do a
whole lot to get it—whatever we do, however, has

We, ourselves, have a lot of confidence in the
Clothes we make, and our ever-increasing business
proves us right.

England, has been quietly investigat-

enthusiastic over the future of the
country. "The past of Canada •has

the country by the professor.

—Ontario bas a general interest in
the conditions under which a wan
must incur $1300 law costs in the sim-
ple process of legally proving that he
does not owe a debt of $630. This pro-
vince surely needs prompt and ener-
getic action in the direction of law re-
form when a man cannot clear his
home from an unjust claim of $654
without letting himself in for lase
costs to the amount of $1,300.
—Ilse Toronto News says that quite
reeently "a matt walked into a fire in-
surance o4dae In ".f'oronto and prof-
fered the agent $1,200, an amount
paid to his father by the company
any
over twenty years ago. The eon had
set fere to the premises to save his
father from otherwise inevitable ruin.
Ever since he has been laying by dol-
lar on dollar with the secret purpose
of accumulating enough to make good
the terrible fraud he haul. committed.
Through good and evil days the
money'
has atcett:nnlatctl, and the
nutn':1 eonseienre is at last at rest.
Such incidents tend to redeem crime
of half of its abomination, and almost
make a hero of the criminal,"

—A despatch from Chicago states
that students of the Ontario Agricul-
turaI College at Guelph were awarded
the first prize in the judging contest
for all animals combined at the Inter-
national Live Stock Show. In the
contest of horse judging for the Mc-
Laughlin pros.' prize, Ontario was
fourth. For individual excellence, A.
H. Hamer of Ontario was first, J. 0.
Olsen of Kansas second, and C. C.
Nixon of Ontario third.
Two very costly railway stations
are being built in New York city. The
station proper of the Pennsylvania
will cover four city blocks, and will be
the most expensive building in the
state with the exception of the Capitol
at Albany. It will be 772 feet long
and 133 feet wide, and the contract
calls for the expenditure of about
$25,000,000. Including the thainsheds''
and other minor structures, twenty-
eiglht acres of space will be covered,
and the total cost of the improve-
ments will runup to $50,000,000. The
Grand Central Station and sheds will
cover nineteen.city blocks, and in the
waiting room is to be the largest stair-
case in the world, leading to a spa-
cious balcony overlooking fifty tracks.

-At the meeting of North Oxford
Reform Association in Woodstock last
Thursday, the members were served
with several red-hot pointers on cor-
ruption in partyism by E, W. Nisbett,
Mr. Nisbett is the Liberal who tried
for the nomination for the Dominion
House, but was defatted by George
Smith, 111, P. Mr, Nisbett averred
that the disclosures in London were a
disgrace to Cauadianism, amid ap-
plause. "We cannot," he said,
"stamp it out by saying the Tories are
just as bad. We are not cleaning the
Tories' stables. We are cleaning our
own stables. If we laugh at it and
think it smart, then it will go on.
But it is for us men in North Oxford,
as well as in other places, to
stop it." These were sensible words
and likely to do more good than simp-
ly yelling "You're another."
111r. Studholme,tthe tabor candi-
date was elected in Hamilton for the.
Ontario Legislature in place of H.
Carscallen, deceased. The Liberals
put no candidate in the field but sup-
ported. Studholane, who defeated the
Conservative candidate by nearly 800
votes. Mr. •Studholme says :—"I pro-
pose to support the Goyernment's
power policy, in fact, I believe I will
he more often with the Government
than against it. I know what the
Government's policy is, and I don't
know what the policy of the Liberals
is."
i
—Col. Tisdale, representative of Nor-
folk, said in a debate in the House of
Commons the other day, that he knew
of two constituencies in which six
hundred dollars was the limit for cam-
paign expenditure fifty years ago, but
in which no Candidate could hope for
success to -day without spending five
to ten thousand dollars. The Simcoe
Reformer, published in the same
county, recently declared that at Ieast
one-third of the electors are open to
bribery. If this is true, the moral
conditions of this so-called Christian
province are away below par.
*
—The Weekly Sun says, that if the
legislation proposed by Mr. Fielding
is approved by Parliament, more than
the entire value of the entire bog pro-
duct of Ontario for one year -rill be
required to meet the total of the iron
and steel bounties for the twelve years
beginning with 1898 and -ending with
1910. Or another way of putting it,
is—that nearly the entire value of the
cheese factories in Ontario in a normnaI
year will he required, if the legislation
now pending at Ottawa is approved,
to pay the bounties the Dominion Iron
and Steel Co. will have received in the
eight years ending with 1910.

Although the popular interest in
polar exploration has somewhat
waned since so many expeditions
which were confidently expected to
reach the Pole have failed, much of
the old excitement was stirred by
Commander Peary's outstripping ail
his predeeessozs. He went withtu 200
utiles of the Pole, which is now
"farthest north." The Duke of
Abruzzi's expedition in 1000 went
within 239 miles, and Nansen, 1895,
within 261 miles.
Peary sailed from New York on
July 15, 1905, in the Roosevelt, a ship
that had been built for this very pur-
pose, and he reached a high point in
the Arctic seas iu a shorter time than
any other explorer. He left his ship
at Grant Land, in the American Arc-
tic, and set out to reach the Pole by
dog -sleds. He sledded to a point 400
guiles north of his land base, a feat
that was never equalled over the
rough Arctic ice ; for to make this ad-
vance north he had to sled a cinch
greater distance in his zigzag journey.
When his farther advance was hinder-
ed by open water. Thus he settled'
one disputed question—whether there'.
be open water that far north. When
he -had reached his highest point, the
fee -pack was broken and he drifted on
it eastward—perhaps 200 miles to the
coast of Greenland,
He rescued one party of his men
just in time to prevent theca from
starving, and they eat eight of their
dogs. To the usual experience of Arc-
tic hardship was added the peril of
drifting on the ice ; and for a second
time, Commander Peary owes his life
to the husk -oxen that he 'killed in
Greenland.
Whoever may reach the Pole, if it
shall ever be reached, Commander
Peary has placed himself among the
very greatest of Arctic explorers ; for
if the ice had not broken under him,
and drifted eastward, there is every
reason to suppose that he would have
gone 200 miles still farther north and
solved this riddle of the earth. He
seems to have proved the hopeless-
ness of trying to reach the Pole by
sledding over ice. When it is reached
it will be reached by some other
method.
—This is the way the Toronto Tele.
gram views the election of Mr. Stud•
bonne, the Labor candidate in East
Hamilton ;—"As to the effect of the
East Hamilton bye -election on the
fdrttuces of the Ontario Opposition,
there is not enough of the Opposition
left either in hwnbels or quality to be
affected by anything, The provincial
Liberalism of Ontario is dead in the
trespaes and sins of a long continued
subservience to the reactionary and
corporation element in its member-
ship. Fast Hamilton has delivered
the 'Whitney Government from the
danger of subservience to the tame
element on the Conservative side."
The beginning of the new year
will see the greatest revolution in
transportation since the stage -conch
gave way to the railroad train—In the
substitution of eleetrlcity for steam
on two of the greatest railroads enter-
ing New York, This installation is
but the first step in a great champ.
