SVBSORIPTION *LOG 'ERR 'YEAR UAISVAIICS, 411,60 TO filtnesCATetritS zrt3. SA.NCTUM PARAGRAPHS, 1,•••••••••••••1* —Has the Laurier policy made yeti vichrOr is it the grafter, who has the cinch. * * * —Dr. Chisholm for East Huron. —E. R, Lewie for West Huron. Sherritt for Soath Huron. * * * —"Twelve years more of Laurier," is it ? With the woollen indestre granola and other industries on short time, and some closed altogeths er. No thanks. Let us have a change. Says one paper to its readers :— "Reny to save the Government," It would be infinitely better to "Rally to save the country." With the Govern- *tient will go the grafters, many of whom have grown immensely rich on the country's resourcee. Let them go. * —It has to be remembered. that the timber limit which Mr, A. W. Fraser, who was one of the Liberal candidates at Ottawa, sayshe bought for $1,650 and sold for $100,000, is only a sample of the manner in which the Govern- ment has wasted the public herie tage. * * —In one of his speeches, Sir Vi7ilfrid said—"Lord lettest now thy servant depart in peace." We do not believe in using scriptural quotations in snob, a connection, but if it is Sir Wilfrid's sincere desire "to depart," we may say, that we have no serious objec- tions to make. * * * —.A. Liberal neeespaper pleads that, unless Ontario rolls 'up the normal vote for the Laurier Government, there may result at Ottawa a painful deadlock similar to that which existed at Toronto during the final months of the Ross regime, Surely this is a con- fession that there is danger of the Government's defeat. * * * —Boxes for Laurieles great 'rural malt delivery system are being made in Indianapolis, United States. This infers that Canadians are not clever enougtt workmen to make these simple things. We may, however, inform our readers that the Canadian farmers will be allowed to furnish the post -boles, as they cannot be ira• ported. * * —In this campaign, the electors have to choose between an Adminis- tration which has almost totally lost sight of promtses made in opposition, and the Conservative party led by Mr, Borden, which presents a policy of great things for Canada., and a record of determined struggle in the interests of the people, as against the grafter* and middle -men, who have become enteenched behied the Liberal Federal Government. it. should not be dif- ficult to make a choice. * * * A FEW POINTERS. .R•'•••••••••••••• Here are a few terse sentences from the public statements of Alr. R, L. Borden "Before the Grand Trunk Pacific is completed, it Will have cost ehe people of this country one million dollars for eVery constituency in Canada. When the road shall have been completed the public, debt of this country will have reached $4.?5,000,000." "Political pull is of infinitely mere value than real estate anywhere in Canada. l" +The Government has been alto- gether too anxious about the quantity, and not solicitous about the quality, of the immigrants." "What about Senate Reform ? Why having secured a strong Liberal majority in the Senate, the Govern- ment now considers it • is reformed quite well enough. Within one year we will make as meets progress in Senate reform as the Liberals have done In twelve years." "1 do not object to liberal expendi- ture in a new And undeveloped coun- try like this. But for every dollar taken from the taxpayer's pockets there should be a dollar received in retarn." "The statements of Liberal speakers are their own condemnation. If there are muck -rakers, what aboet the muck -makers? If there are scandal- mongers, there were also scandal makers. ' The report of the civil ser. vice commission is so severe that if made public in a country like Great Britain it would drive the Govern- ment out of office within 48 hours," —"Laurier and a larger Canada" is the slogan of many Liberal papers. If the Premier carries what there is of it on the 20th„ he and his press will be supremely happy. But if Laurier is really going to make a "larger Cana- da," it will be interesting to know how. Will he annex the United States, .or will he extend Canada to the north pole ? Will he encroach on the waters of the Pacific, or All in the shores of the ,Allantio? One thing we are sure of, and that is, that Canada's timber and western landseethe heri- tage of the people, have been growing less with amazing rapidity, since such men as Sifton, , Adamson, Burrows, Hitchcock, McGregor, Fraser and. a host of other grafters got their'paWs on our heritage. A "larger Canada" indeed! They must mean a larger ex- penditure, a heavier taxation, and an enormously increased national debt, and a larger number of millionaires made rich at the country's expense. —Besides getting for $1,050 timber limits that he sold soon after for $100,- 000, A. W. Fraser of Ottawa secured 80 square miles of choke timber lands for $500, or LESS THAN ONE CENT PER ACRE. A little later, he issued a. glow- ing prospectus describing this valu- able tract of timber and valued it at half a million, dollars. What do East Huron electors think of handing out such plans as that to political friends. Does a Government that allows such transactions deserve a renewal of con- fidence ? We think not. *0* —Joseph Martin, a leading Libetal politician says ;—"Since the present government came into office in many bastanees the law has been changed so that the alienation of public lands, franchises and concessions, whieh be- fore had been in . the hands of the govertor-general-in-council, came within the power of the minister of the department alone, without any theck whateoever. Although the government issue an Official gatette every week these grants ere not published, and there is no general knowledge of them unless askee In parliament, and. even then Itis only with the greatest difficulty that any information can be obtained." * * * Rooms To RuerT.—In Griffin block, available about Oct. 20th.- —Apply to 0. N. Griffin. Dr. Nelson Tait of 498 Spadina. Ave., Toronto, will be at the Queen's Hotel, Wingham, on Thursday, Oct. 22nd, from 8 a.m. till 10 p.m., for consulta. tion in diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.

Rev. F, Powell of Ohesley occupied the pulpit of St. Paul's last Sunday morning. In the evening, Rev, 0. E. jeakins preached the second sernaon in his series of cliscoursee to young men. The topic was, "Strength, or a sound mind in a sound body." The Epworth League Rally Day ser- vices at Brick Church were very sue- cessfnl. Rev. A. E, Jones of Auburn preached appropriate sermons on Sun- day, and the Westfield choir rendered musical selections in both services. On tiondity evening, a splendid liter- ary and musical progom was render- ed in the church. Ali those announc- ed to take pert were present and per- formed their part in an ahle manner. The neater, Rev. G. W. Rivers, acted as ()helpmate, and •interspersed the various numbers with pleasing re, mark, The Wingham Quartette led by Mr, Cline furnished the musical part of the program', gtving duets and solos, as well as quartettes, all of which were highly appreciated.

Sandy Finlay met with a big loss last week. He had his citrons, apples and oats in his stable, and by some means, the cow got at the things, and a little later was found dead. We are sorry for Sandy, for a cow costs money these days, with butter up to 23 cents. We are sorry to report that at time of writing Thos. Groves is very ill. Ile came licnne front the hospital last week, where he had been laid up with fever. 'Unfortunately, he took cold, and is now critically ill with pleurisy. Troubles never come atone, and Mr. Groves' son Earl, who was working in Kincardine, came home e, few days age with fever. There are ninny eases in Kincardine, and they have lake water. Geo. Taylor has sold his farm, lot 28, con. 10, Turriberry, (II line) to Hugh Caineroe. We understand that the latter Will not work it. but has leased it to T. Fienen. Mr. Taylor will come to Lower Town and flee in his own house now occupied by Wm. 13. Reid, who will move to tipper town. Howard Finlay will occupy the house to be yawed by T. Pitmen. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor deserve a rest ; they have worked herd long enough. Simple Simon Again. Yes, Sire Simple Simon would. like to'know ? How it is that a village like Brussels can have a, sewer on its main street, and Wingharn none ? And. alma, why this same village eon have a beautiful gravel street, but Wingham orily black mud. right upon its front street? Education is a beautiful jewel, but health is the greaten jem. The four hundred dollars' increase in our High School salaries this year, would have paid the interest on $8000.00. If we cannot have both, which shall it be, higher edneation for the few, or health for the many ? .." What is the maximum salary of a High School teacher ? Also, if it is decided to put in a sewer system, if it will be done like the svatevevorks, put along in front of the residences of a privileged. few, eo that they can use iG at little or no expense, and the same privilege made impossible for others? Why should a few have privileges at the public ex- pense, that others must pay dearly for? Is it justice ? • How should an independent voter vote on the 28th of this month? Let Doctor Chisholm tell us how. ? We are told that at the Sanitary meeting, two things seemed to bother our worthy Mayor, the absence of Simple Simon, and of all the town doctors. Well, we ean't be in two places at once. The medical men pro- bably were somewhere else too, at the same time. SIMPLE Siemer. FIRE IN LISTOWEL. Auction Sale.

One case was from flowick, in which complainant was Mrs. R. Oath - eras and defendant Mrs. W. Spa. ton, It - seems that for some time there had been ill feeling between them, and the latter was charged, with assault, and the plaintiff asked that she be bound 5ver to keep the peace. Mrs. °ethers' face had evidently been badly used. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace, and corumitted for trial on the charge of aggravated assault. The case has aroused considerable interest, especial- ly as both parties are respected resi- dents of the township. The other ease was against Geo. Ray and Effie Ray, both of Wawanosh, and incest was the charge. Both were commit- ted for trial. The town of Listowel was visited by a very serious fire early Saturday morning, when the splendid factory of the Morris- Piano Oenepany, in which the citizens took jest pride, was discovered by the tight watch- man to be on fire. The conflagration started in the fourth floor, the origin being an absolute mystery, and in spite of persistent efforts on the part of the firemen, the main factory soon became a smouldering mass of ruins. The balding used for tuning and re- adjusting department, general offices, etc., rernaine intact, being only slight- ly damaged. Abont 75 men are thrown out of employment, which is to be regretted especially a,t this Sea- son of the year. No accurate estimate of the loss has been made. but it will probably amount to $75.000, mostly covered by insurance. Work is being prosecuted at the Electric Light factory. Of course the "muss" outside and in, is not Jost pleasing to the esthetic tastes of Manager Wyles, or his assistant Walter gavels ; neither does Sentinel 13trulwie enjoy kicking his shins over wheels, gears, pulleys and things.

REGISTRATION OP CLYDESDALES. Death Of Miss Hamilton. On Thursday last, Miss Isabella, second daughter of Mr, and Mee. Hugh Hamilton, passed away after a few weeks' illness with typhoid fever. Miss Hamilton had resided in Wing - ham and vicinity all her life, and was held. in high esteem. She had been book-keeper at Wm. Armour's produce establishment, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. She will be much missed, especially by her par- ents, as she was the only daughter at home. The funeral, which took plaee op Saturday, was largely attended, and the service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. Perrie. A wreath of flowers from the 'Westminster Guild, a floral pillow frora the estate of Wm. Armour, and other flowers were trib- utes of affection and esteem. De- ceased was in her 28th year, and be- sides her parents, she leaves two sis- ters (Mrs. Arch. Campbell of Morris and Mrs. Robt. Arbuckle of Winnipeg) and four brothers. The party, who took the pocketbook off the counter in Mr. Ieard's store on Satarday afternoon, will please return it to the store as they are known. By so doing they. Will save any trouble. The natal when considerable trad- ing will be done in breeding Clydes- dales is now coming closer to band. There are many Mlles And young dal. lions in the unary which are eligible for registration in the Clydesdale Stud Book, and whose Menet* have still neglected to record them. This is a dietinet disedvantage, as very often the neglect to do rio spoils the Sale of the filly. Buyers will always try to get theni at a much lower price, and, in Many rases the sale is losb theough lack of dine to get the papers, as in case of a western buyer, shippers to the west can only avail themselves of the lotv rates and flee service of the Association ear when the Canadien Registration certificate is produced. Cetera shipments yeti be made at half t he reghlar freight rates if the Walei is recorded. Then, too, the feet that prospective buyers ate so ranch in the habit of looking up the stud hooka hn• trace of animals which they may be able to paellas°, is a great advantage to the owner who has recorded his young animals.

The subjects brought up (we tan scarcely say discussed) were many, embracing the Bolted of Health, the emptying of the dam, a trunk seeeer, dry earth closets, artesian Wells, fil- tered water for domestie purposes, contaminated well etc„ etc, There was considerable talk, but very little done of prrietieal value, except thab It was decided, oti 'notion of Messrs.

Powell of Brussels discussed the ques- tion, "Are our Leagues developing the spiritual life of the young people?"

The "Normal Train- ing School for Missions," recently held in Alma °allege St. Thomas, was re- ported by Rev. 'G. W. Rivers, B. A., B. D., and Miss Edna I. Cuyler.
