the Ontario Government electious will
be held in june. Some place the date

Nevertheless, it is quite within the
range of possibility that the elections
may be held within a few months.

-Sometime ago, Collingwood town
°outwit raised the liquor liceuse fee in
that town to $2,500. This was regard-
ed as prohibitive, and probably was iu.
tenaed to have that effect, ,Appeal
was taken, and the ease came up in
Court last week. Justice Britton tie-
cided that the Council exceeded its
powers, and that so high, a license fee
could not be legally cliarged in a town
of the size of Collingwood. Hence the
Justice quashed the By-law. It is
said that the the town may appeal
fromthe decision of justice Britton.

vre close our forms, we under-
stand that s, ehange is likely to- be
made in the composition of at least
two, of the Huron ridings. Taking
the division as given in last issue, the
township of Tucker -smith is likely to
be taken from the Centre, and added
to the South riding. This -would
equalize the population beeter and
itnprove the geographical fottn of
botb, ridings, but it would not
materially alter their political com-
plexion. Wingbain will be the bub of
the Nortla riding. So it ought to be.

-According to the Ripley Express,
published by Geo, H. Mooney, the -
nomination in Centre Bruce Liberal
convention was not harmoniously sat-
isfactory. Mr. Mooney's version of it
is (in effeet) as follows :-There-were
thirteen names before the convention,
and among them Geo. U. Mooney.
Everyone, nominated resigned, except
Mr. Mooney; this, left him the nomi-
nee. He then stated that, as he saw
the feeling was in favor.of a farmer
candidate, he would resign if a farmer
was chosen. This caused. delay aed
confusion, and the convention ad-
-joerned for tweety minutes. Orf re-
asserabling, a blind ballot was taken,
and neither Mr. Mooney nor a farmer
was chosen, but .1. T. Hunter, editor of
the Kincardine Review. So 'ib seems
three editors in the riding are aspir;
ants. From .our standpointsit looks
as if the convention hardly treated
Mr. Mooney fairly. In politics, you
meet Such things however, as well as
in other phases of life.

-If Arch. Hislop, M. P. P. for Bast
Huron, is correctly reported, be pre-
dicts utter oblivion for the Whitney
Government after the gerieral election.
Either Mr. Hislop has been misre-
ported, or else the excitement of that.
Bill of his to prevent canvassing, was
too much of a mental effort. It is
difficult to believe that any sensible
man, having even a slight grasp of
public affairs, would make such a
ridiculous statement. The Ontario
Government has probably made mis-
takes (they would be more than
human if they did not.) Bat on the
whole, their legislation has been
wholesome, sound, and in the interests
a tbe people. At the next election, it
is quite possible that the majority will
not be so large, for when they were
elected, there was a revulsion against
• the Ross administration that caused.
many honest Liberals to assist in
brieging about a change. But for a
man to predict "utter oblivion' for a
government that has given the pro-
vince so nauch good legislation, and
unquestioned honesty in its adminis-
tration, is not very complimentary to
'that man's Intelligente, or his grasp of
public affairs.

An Interesting Topic.
On Suuday evening Rev. W.
floerson, delivered a very thoughtfu
sermon on the sebject of "Good
Health" Mr. Howson spoke for neat
ly an hour and Was listened to mos
attenttvely throughout, by a large
congregation, The discourse was so
full of good, practical poluts, that we
give our readers, who were not privil
eged to hear it, an outline of its lead
Ing thoughts, The text was taken
from the 34th verse, of tbe 27th of
Acts: -"This is for your health."
In commencing, Mr. Howson said
be had chosen this text not for pine
poses of exposition, but as a topic for
the address, Rev. H, W. Beecher
(+aid, "I wish I could get my people to
take as good -care of their health, as a
locomotive engineer takes care of his
engine." Health of body is nore to be
desired, than great wealth. Instances
were given of millionaires, who would
• give much of their wealth to be free of
disease. Health is unobstracted life;
and it is our duty to keep the avenues
Or our physical nature unobstructed,
that the bounding lire of God, might
• find right of way, into every part of
our body. Facts were then brought
to prove, that the race is degenerating

proofs coming from. the British Isles,
France and NorthAmerican. Brights
disease, cancer; and diabetes, bre in-
ereasiug rapidly. Insanity, idiocy and
epilepsy have increased 800 per cent
in the last 50 years. There is need
therefore, that an appeal be made to
the people, to guat•d their health. Ed-
ward Carpenter was emoted, as say-
ing, that man might live 150 years,
but_he was completely worn out long
before that time.
It was shown that animals exhibit
•wonderfal powers of "vitelity, and
maintain their health, by an instinc-
tive power within them e that health

mind over matter; that the soul is hot

and power of the will, we ma.y drive
out sick thoughts. Hence, while we
try to adjust our mental attitude to
healthful conditions, we attend intel-
ligently to the external iife, and so
relate ourselves to food, exercise, air,
water and rest, as to help us to attain
a state of health,
The speaker emphasized. the fact,
that men grow old far too rapidly, and
that a man 50 years of age is only in
his prime. • Don't think you are grow-
ing old. We are, what we think we
are; we take the color of our thougbts.
We are a spark of the Infinite Life..
We have within as an indestructible
principle, thab the years cannot touch.
Don't droop your shoulders. Don't
walk limp. Don't suggest to your-
self that you are growing old. 'Keep
old age at, a distance.
Be contenb. Oliver Wendell Holmes
and Charles Wagner were quoted in
this conneetiou. Live simply. Make
a right use of your years and powers.
Keep passions in control. The recent
experiments of Prot Eimer Gates of
Washington were quoted to show the
'effects produced on the physical secre-
tions by mental .emotions. The secre-
tions, produced by anger, Sorrow, jea-
lousy, and hate, are exceedingly poi -
somas and very hurtful. Love your
work. Take a vacation, but don't giie
up your life s calling. Keep your
heart young with love. Love and
purity are among the most healthful
influences in the world.

Train Ditched.
On Saturday, the early train on the
G. T. R., running between Goderich
and Owen Sound, jinni:tea the track
between Clinton and Seaforth, and
was piled up in the ditch.. The excep-
tionally heavy rainfall accompanying
the niglIt's storm had washed out a
culvert, and as the train was running
at a fair rate of speed the engineer
had no warning of the danger until
the train was just upon it. That no
one was seriously injured is nothing
short of marvelous. The engineer and
fireman stuck to their posts and after
the engine had turned completely
over escaped from the cab. They
were not seriously injured. The track
was completely blocked, and trains
• were sent Around by Clinton and Lon-

J. R. McDonald, gave the word "go"
sharp on time; 7 o'clock, Mr. Beattie
took the lead, which he kept for six
laps, the paee for these laps being
very fest. The heavy ice and fast
pace began to tell on our frieed Bet-
tis, who began to lag a, little. Seeing
this, the old timer, Cochrane, shot to
the front and keeping up the pace,
soon put a -kink in his opponent's wind
whieh "wouldn't • oat." After this
the result was never in doubt, Coch-
rane going on and winning easily by
• nearly a lap, winning the money and
championship. There is no doubt
there will be a lot of July skaters
wanting to race with the Champion. -
Com.
For 'Our Executive Committee.
Here is art item that should be en-
couraging to the Executive committee
of our Council : "Thorold is congratu-
lating itself on the results of the year's
operation of its electric lighting plant.
The receipts were $1,482,80, and. the
expenditure 53,687.05. This leaves a
balance of receipts over expenditure
of $705.05, which is more than enough
to meet the interest on debentures.
It is also assuraed that under the con-
tract system, at least $1,000 a year
would have t� be paid for street light-
ing, and as this item does not appear
in the civic accounts, it is held that
the actual surplus on the year's opera-
tion amounts to $1,800. Where good
business management is 'assured there
is no reason that tbese results from
civie operation should not be obtained
elsewhere. The whole virtue of public
ownership depends on the charade -
of manicipal councils and the type of
officials employed to manage the civic
enterptises."

Regret was expressed by the Board
that Miss Matheson felt it necessary to
tender her resignation, but under the
circiunstances (the illnees of a relative)
the Board accepted the resignation.
A committee was appointed however,
consisting of Trustees Griffin end Ross
to wait on Kiss Matheson, to ascertain
if she could see her way clear to re-

When Nothing Happens.
Frequently you piek up a local
paper, and after glancing at the head. -
lines wearily thrust it aside, remark-
ing, "Nothing in the paper to -day !"
Did you ever stop to think what the
phrase -"nothing in the paper to -day"
-means? It EttettOS that in the week
just passed, that no misfortune has
befallen anyone in our town; that no
• fire has wiped out a neighbotes world.-
ly goods; that the grim angel of death
has crossed no threshold of a friend;
that no unfortunate accident • has
befallen any chizen ; that no one has
been forced by the pressure of cir-
cumstances into bankruptcy.; that no
one hes become so broken-hearted and
discouraged. that they have committed
suicide; that nobody has entered. into
matrimonial alliance, which they
may regret in the years to come; that
no little one has been born into this
world of sin and sorrow, to suffer,
So, if you pick up your local paper
and, find no startling news, just give
thanks, instead of grumbling because.
"there is nothing in it."

high temperature, a fall of the berme-
e.ter and southerly winds will presage
violent disturbances of the atmos-
phere. From 21s1 to 23rd vicious
