-Iii.eJohn N, B., the debtors'
cells of the city prison are being filled
with tax defaulters. The city mar-
shals are active in pressing for col-
lections, and six arrests for default in
paying taxes have been made within a
few days. Once jailed, defaulters
must produce the money, or serve out
the amount at 40c a day.

-The Toronto Telegram has this to
say :-"The old Whig party in the
United States was absorbed by the
newly created Republican party. The
once great Liberal party of Ontario is
all but absozbed by the old Conserve`
tive party. A more complete disap-
pearance than that of organized Liber-
alism as a force in Ontario politics, is
not recorded in the political annals of
any country."
. -The Home Journal very properly„
criticises the expenditure of this
Dominion for military purposes, when
it says :-"We are spending in Canada
six millions and a half to maintain a
militia department that gave up the
task of mobilizing forty thousand men
at Quebec this summer. The people
of this country are ,thus having their
lesson on the folly of imitating effete
Europeanism. The best protection
Canada has bad for the past hundred
years has been a defenceless coast and
frontier. When people live in glass
houses their manners improve to the
advantage of the community as well
as their own. If half the money
wasted on an elaborate staff • and
equipment in the militia department
were spent on agriculture or edu-
cation, we would get such results as
would be -felt from one end of the
country to the other.` This tin soldier
business should be discouraged. It is a
costly fad.

-The Dominion revenue, expendi-
ture and debt statements Ytor the two -
months now past of the present fiscal
year have been given out, and are not
cheerful reading. The revenue for
April and May compares with last
year as follows :-
1907 $15,120,907
1008 11,890,381
Decrease $3,221,526
There is loss of • $2,620,000 in cus-
toms, $300,000 in excise, and over
X200,000 from public works. The lat-
ter is almost wholly made up of Inter -
colonial earnings, which appear to
have fallen off fourteen per cent. in
the two months, and still more if
May is taken alone. The decrease in
current ' expenditure for the two
months is $060,000, but this is not a
real decrease, since it is due to the
fact that the Government has not paid
its May accounts pending the passage
of the supply bill. The net public
debt stood at the end of May in each
year :-
Ma 31, 1907 ` 59
May 31, 1908 $265,515,449966
Increase in one year..$12,616,035
.**
-The result of the recent Ontario
elections must be very gratifying to
the Government, and may be regard-
ed as a tribute to the excellent record
of its first three and a half years'
management of the affairs of the pro-
vince. Premier Whitney will now
have a greater majority than that
given him by the landslide of 1905.
There can be no mistaking the signifi-
cance of the verdict thus rendered,
for the electorate have most unmis�
takably declared for a continuance of
the good work of reform which has
been so well inaugurated by the press
ent Administration, No stronger
demonstration of the public approval
has ever been given in Ontario,'for it
is very seldom that a Government can
boast of being returned to power a
second time, not only undiminished,
but in increased strength, when the
majority was already a largo one,
The Administration will now be en-
abled to proceed with other questions
affecting the welfare of the Province,
They received a pronounced commis.
Sion from the people to do so, and to
latter need not be afraid that the Pre-
mier and his associates will III -requite
the great honor thus paid them.

The County Council,
June in i
e seas Pii of the aunty
council opened, at (loderieli on Tues-
day of last week,
A number of communications were
read and referred to the respective
committees. ,
The agreement between the county
and Thos, Hemphill, of Wroxeter,
whereby he agreed. to accept $125 in
full of his claim m for damages to his
mill property was accepted,
The clerk was requested to keep a
book showing the cost of erecting and
maintaining each permanent br dge in
the county.
The county engineer was asked to
e
prar p e a statement showing the cost
of all permanent bridges that have
been erected during his term of, office,
A committee was appointed consist-
ing of Messrs. Fraser, Hawkins,
Baillie, Leckie and Harris, to report at
the December meeting on the salaries
of county oflficials,
On account of the stringency in the
money market the engineer was in-
structed to make temporary repairs to
the Halmesville bridge as will prevent
accidents, and the erection of a new
bridge deferred for the present year.
COUNTY ENGINEER'S REPORT.
The county engineer reported that
Considerable damage had been done to
the bridges by the spring freshet
Rathwell's bridge on the Bayfield
river and Silver Creek bridge, east c
Seafortb, were washed away. A new
bridge is to be erected over a branch
of the Maitland river, on the born
dary between the townships of Grey
and Rhea. An agreement had been
signed by Mr. Hemphill, regarding
damages to his mill property in the
village of . Wroxeter, On May 20th
Messrs. Fraser, Musgrove and the en-
gineer examined the site of the pro
posed new bridge at Wroxeter. I
will require a bridge at least 100 ft
long, at a cost of about $4,000. Since
the January session he had issued or
ders to the amount of $9,337.26.
INSPECTOR Rons's REPORT.
D. Robb, inspector for East Huron
reported that of the 80 teachers in the
rural schools, 28 were males and 66
females. There are one first class,
38 second class and 50 third class
teachers. As usual, one-third of the
rural schools changed teachers during
the year. The average salaries paid
to rural teachers in 1907 was $68.50
higher than in 1906, owing to the Gov-
ernment scheme of minimum salaries.
but, owing to the abandonment of this
policy, the rural salaries for 1908 will
show a decrease of about $35. During
the year three excellent brick schools
were erected, as follows :-Union sec-
tion No. 11, Morris, McKillop and
Grey, No. 7 and No. 10 in McKillop.
They are a credit to these sections.
The number of children enrolled in
East Huron in 1907 was 5,077, a
decrease for the year at about 200.
At the entrance examination 342 can-
didates wrote and 284 passed.
INSPECTOR. Tom's REPORT.
Mr. J. Elgin Tom; inspector West
Huron, in his report to the council,
says :-There were 132 teachers in
West Huron at the close of 1907,
twelve holding first-class certificates,
48 holding second, and 71 third. Thir-
ty-eight men were teaching at an
average salary of $500, and 9.4 women
.at an average salary of $11.2. The 24
regular teachers in the urban schools
were all retained at the close of 1007,
but 30 of the 107 rural teachers were
changed. A large majority of the
teachers did honest and efficient
work. During the year new school
sections were formed at Belgrave and
Centralia, and a substantial scllocd-
house erected in each village. In
most of the school sections the
grounds have an untidy and neglected
appearance: The boards should pro-
vide necessary tools, etc., for keeping
the fences and grounds in good, order.
In 1907, 345 pupils wrote at the high
school entrance examinations, and 258
were successful,
Execuvive CoaiatrrrEE.
The executive committee recom-
mended that the grant asked for Dr.
Gunn's Hospital in Clinton, be made
when a certificate of Government
inspection is produced, and it has been
passed as a public hospital, In the
matter of supplementing the prize list
at the Ontario Winter Fair it was
recommended that $25 be granted for
prizes for amateurs from this county
exhibiting in the beef cattle depart-
ment. In the matter of the appli-
cation of John Knox, turnkey at the
gaol, for an increase in salary,'recom-
mended that no action be taken at
present, but that a committee be
appointed to revise the list of salaries
of ail county officials and report at the
December Session, with a view of
making them permanent for at least
five years, and thus stop continuous
requests for increases. The Warden
was instructed to rake the best pos.
sible settlement With Angus McLeod,
ro his claim for damages done by a
committee of the County Council and
others tramping down his grass and
leaving open gates. A grant of $20
was made be the Clinton Spring show,
The request for a grant to the lieesall
horse show was not granted, as they
have not yet complied with the gov-
ernment act. The request for a grant
to the Fordwieh Stallion show was not
granted, as they have received a grant
from the county for their fall •show,
No action was taken in reference to
the Motion of Messrs. M(Irle and Tay-
lor with reference to grants to spring
shows. They r'ecominended no action
in the matter of a request from the
town of Goderich for a grant of $300

Why Catarrh is Dangerous.
Fsually it comes with a cold. Being
slight it is neglected, but the seed is
sown for a dangerous harvest, perhaps
consumption. To cure at once inhale
Catarrhozone. It destroys the germ
of catarrh, clears away mucous,
cleanses the passages of the nose and
throat, The hacking cough and sneez-
ing cold soon disappear, and health is
yours again. Nothing known for
catarrh and throat trouble that is so
curative as Catarrhozone. It cures by
a new method that never yet failed.
At all dealers 25c and $1. Get Cater-
rhozone to -day.

-Iii.eJohn N, B., the debtors'
cells of the city prison are being filled
with tax defaulters. The city mar-
shals are active in pressing for col-
lections, and six arrests for default in
paying taxes have been made within a
few days. Once jailed, defaulters
must produce the money, or serve out
the amount at 40c a day.

-The Toronto Telegram has this to
say :-"The old Whig party in the
United States was absorbed by the
newly created Republican party. The
once great Liberal party of Ontario is
all but absozbed by the old Conserve`
tive party. A more complete disap-
pearance than that of organized Liber-
alism as a force in Ontario politics, is
not recorded in the political annals of
any country."
. -The Home Journal very properly„
criticises the expenditure of this
Dominion for military purposes, when
it says :-"We are spending in Canada
six millions and a half to maintain a
militia department that gave up the
task of mobilizing forty thousand men
at Quebec this summer. The people
of this country are ,thus having their
lesson on the folly of imitating effete
Europeanism. The best protection
Canada has bad for the past hundred
years has been a defenceless coast and
frontier. When people live in glass
houses their manners improve to the
advantage of the community as well
as their own. If half the money
wasted on an elaborate staff • and
equipment in the militia department
were spent on agriculture or edu-
cation, we would get such results as
would be -felt from one end of the
country to the other.` This tin soldier
business should be discouraged. It is a
costly fad.

-The Dominion revenue, expendi-
ture and debt statements Ytor the two -
months now past of the present fiscal
year have been given out, and are not
cheerful reading. The revenue for
April and May compares with last
year as follows :-
1907 $15,120,907
1008 11,890,381
Decrease $3,221,526
There is loss of • $2,620,000 in cus-
toms, $300,000 in excise, and over
X200,000 from public works. The lat-
ter is almost wholly made up of Inter -
colonial earnings, which appear to
have fallen off fourteen per cent. in
the two months, and still more if
May is taken alone. The decrease in
current ' expenditure for the two
months is $060,000, but this is not a
real decrease, since it is due to the
fact that the Government has not paid
its May accounts pending the passage
of the supply bill. The net public
debt stood at the end of May in each
year :-
Ma 31, 1907 ` 59
May 31, 1908 $265,515,449966
Increase in one year..$12,616,035
.**
-The result of the recent Ontario
elections must be very gratifying to
the Government, and may be regard-
ed as a tribute to the excellent record
of its first three and a half years'
management of the affairs of the pro-
vince. Premier Whitney will now
have a greater majority than that
given him by the landslide of 1905.
There can be no mistaking the signifi-
cance of the verdict thus rendered,
for the electorate have most unmis�
takably declared for a continuance of
the good work of reform which has
been so well inaugurated by the press
ent Administration, No stronger
demonstration of the public approval
has ever been given in Ontario,'for it
is very seldom that a Government can
boast of being returned to power a
second time, not only undiminished,
but in increased strength, when the
majority was already a largo one,
The Administration will now be en-
abled to proceed with other questions
affecting the welfare of the Province,
They received a pronounced commis.
Sion from the people to do so, and to
latter need not be afraid that the Pre-
mier and his associates will III -requite
the great honor thus paid them.

The County Council,
June in i
e seas Pii of the aunty
council opened, at (loderieli on Tues-
day of last week,
A number of communications were
read and referred to the respective
committees. ,
The agreement between the county
and Thos, Hemphill, of Wroxeter,
whereby he agreed. to accept $125 in
full of his claim m for damages to his
mill property was accepted,
The clerk was requested to keep a
book showing the cost of erecting and
maintaining each permanent br dge in
the county.
The county engineer was asked to
e
prar p e a statement showing the cost
of all permanent bridges that have
been erected during his term of, office,
A committee was appointed consist-
ing of Messrs. Fraser, Hawkins,
Baillie, Leckie and Harris, to report at
the December meeting on the salaries
of county oflficials,
On account of the stringency in the
money market the engineer was in-
structed to make temporary repairs to
the Halmesville bridge as will prevent
accidents, and the erection of a new
bridge deferred for the present year.
COUNTY ENGINEER'S REPORT.
The county engineer reported that
Considerable damage had been done to
the bridges by the spring freshet
Rathwell's bridge on the Bayfield
river and Silver Creek bridge, east c
Seafortb, were washed away. A new
bridge is to be erected over a branch
of the Maitland river, on the born
dary between the townships of Grey
and Rhea. An agreement had been
signed by Mr. Hemphill, regarding
damages to his mill property in the
village of . Wroxeter, On May 20th
Messrs. Fraser, Musgrove and the en-
gineer examined the site of the pro
posed new bridge at Wroxeter. I
will require a bridge at least 100 ft
long, at a cost of about $4,000. Since
the January session he had issued or
ders to the amount of $9,337.26.
INSPECTOR Rons's REPORT.
D. Robb, inspector for East Huron
reported that of the 80 teachers in the
rural schools, 28 were males and 66
females. There are one first class,
38 second class and 50 third class
teachers. As usual, one-third of the
rural schools changed teachers during
the year. The average salaries paid
to rural teachers in 1907 was $68.50
higher than in 1906, owing to the Gov-
ernment scheme of minimum salaries.
but, owing to the abandonment of this
policy, the rural salaries for 1908 will
show a decrease of about $35. During
the year three excellent brick schools
were erected, as follows :-Union sec-
tion No. 11, Morris, McKillop and
Grey, No. 7 and No. 10 in McKillop.
They are a credit to these sections.
The number of children enrolled in
East Huron in 1907 was 5,077, a
decrease for the year at about 200.
At the entrance examination 342 can-
didates wrote and 284 passed.
INSPECTOR. Tom's REPORT.
Mr. J. Elgin Tom; inspector West
Huron, in his report to the council,
says :-There were 132 teachers in
West Huron at the close of 1907,
twelve holding first-class certificates,
48 holding second, and 71 third. Thir-
ty-eight men were teaching at an
average salary of $500, and 9.4 women
.at an average salary of $11.2. The 24
regular teachers in the urban schools
were all retained at the close of 1007,
but 30 of the 107 rural teachers were
changed. A large majority of the
teachers did honest and efficient
work. During the year new school
sections were formed at Belgrave and
Centralia, and a substantial scllocd-
house erected in each village. In
most of the school sections the
grounds have an untidy and neglected
appearance: The boards should pro-
vide necessary tools, etc., for keeping
the fences and grounds in good, order.
In 1907, 345 pupils wrote at the high
school entrance examinations, and 258
were successful,
Execuvive CoaiatrrrEE.
The executive committee recom-
mended that the grant asked for Dr.
Gunn's Hospital in Clinton, be made

inspection is produced, and it has been
passed as a public hospital, In the
matter of supplementing the prize list
at the Ontario Winter Fair it was
recommended that $25 be granted for
prizes for amateurs from this county
exhibiting in the beef cattle depart-
ment. In the matter of the appli-
cation of John Knox, turnkey at the
gaol, for an increase in salary,'recom-
mended that no action be taken at
present, but that a committee be
appointed to revise the list of salaries
of ail county officials and report at the
December Session, with a view of
making them permanent for at least
five years, and thus stop continuous
requests for increases. The Warden
was instructed to rake the best pos.
sible settlement With Angus McLeod,
ro his claim for damages done by a
committee of the County Council and
others tramping down his grass and
leaving open gates. A grant of $20
was made be the Clinton Spring show,

horse show was not granted, as they
have not yet complied with the gov-
ernment act. The request for a grant
to the Fordwieh Stallion show was not
granted, as they have received a grant
from the county for their fall •show,
No action was taken in reference to
the Motion of Messrs. M(Irle and Tay-
lor with reference to grants to spring
shows. They r'ecominended no action
in the matter of a request from the
town of Goderich for a grant of $300

Why Catarrh is Dangerous.
Fsually it comes with a cold. Being
slight it is neglected, but the seed is
sown for a dangerous harvest, perhaps
consumption. To cure at once inhale
Catarrhozone. It destroys the germ
of catarrh, clears away mucous,
cleanses the passages of the nose and
throat, The hacking cough and sneez-
ing cold soon disappear, and health is
yours again. Nothing known for
catarrh and throat trouble that is so
curative as Catarrhozone. It cures by
a new method that never yet failed.

rhozone to -day.
