The Northwestern millers have com-

food men have gained a vast trade,
some of it at the expense of the white

clusion that the only way to defend
themselves is to buy newspaper space
liberally, It is newspaper advertising
that creates business and the lack of it
which causes a decline in busineas.

is the main cause for low salaries."

Presentation.
Before the removal of Mr. Jno. Adair
from Wingham, bis fellow -workmen
presented him with a toilet set, accom-
panied by the following address :—
To Mr. John Adair,—.
We have learned with much regret
that you are about to remove from
Wingham to the Northwest, and we
felt that before your departure we
should give some expression to our
feelings of friendship and esteem as
fellow -workmen of your department.
We ask you therefore to accept from
us this toilet set as a memento of the
warm feelings which we have enter-
tained towards you since you have
been identified as our foreman.

4 Warning,
The Stretford Efereld says 1—John
L. Sullivan, the greatest of modern
pugilists, lies a physical wreck, on a'
sick -bed in Boston. And be sends out
this message, through an interviewer i
"Remember, young Men, that if
you can't lick John L. Sullivan, you
can't lick the thing that is stronger
than ho is. Leave whiskey alone,"
The Heralds adds :—"Here is a more
potent argument for total abstinence
than a dozen lecturers could advance.
One of the most perfect specimens
of physical manhood and pbysical
strength, invincible in the art of self-
defence, dying as a result of the all-
cong►tering power of King Alcohol.
Surely young men will heed this
warning. But Sullivan is not the
first. Men of great physical strength
and mental strength as well, have
been conquered by the same enemy,
Young men, take John L.'s dying
advice."

The Weather,
For the information of our readers,
we might say --that this is spring
time, although the weather would not
Indicate the arrival of gentle balmy
spring. The snow -storm of the lath
was worse in southern Ontario than
even in Huron county. While we had
but a few inches, London, Toronto,
St. 'Thomas and other places report
from 12 to 18 inches of snow, Monday
night (18th) another storm set in. So
far, the spring has been exceedingly
backward. Sleighing began Novem-
ber 17th ; sleighs were in use on April
17th. Leet year some farmers had
finished seeding April 13th. This is
the 20th, and vent' few have begun to
prepare for sowing the seed.
Always on hand, a fresh stock of
vegetables, such as greed beans, cu-
cumbers, parsnips, carrots. celery,
green onions, cabbage, lettuce, ripe
tomatoes and radishes at L. G. Kruse,

Removing.
Mr. J. McDonogh and family pur-
pose removing early next week to
near Seaforth. We regret losing this
respected family of good citizens.
For forty years or more, Wingham or.
vicinity has been Mr, McDonogh'e
home, and he Ieaves it and the associa-
tions formed, with sincere regret.
Mr. McDonogh has been a faithful
employee of the G. T, R. for many
years, and he now feels the work too
heavy for him. Mr. H. McOrae of
Belgrave takes his place on the rail-
way. His property was sold last fall
to Mrs. Maxwell. We hope this es-
teemed family will find their new
home near Seaforth congenial in
every respect.
Serious Conflagration. •
On Tuesday, a most disastrous fire
broke out in that .part of Toronto
known as the wholesale district, in-
cluding Front, Wellington and Bay
streets. Wednesday morning, papers
report thirty wholesale houses des-
troyed, the Queen's hotel on fire, the
Union station in danger and fire still
unchecked. The fire departments of
Buffalo, Hamilton and London were
en route to assist in checking the fire.
The loss already was placed at 510,000,-
000, which will be largely increased
before the fire is ander control. Tele-
graph and telephone• service is de-
moralized, and electric power and
light mit off from the vicinity of the
fire, This is the most disastrous fli'e
that has ever occurred in Toronto.

that the late Win. Sawyer of Sawyer-

—The new taxation Bill introduced
by Hon. Mr. Gibson, passed the On-
tario Legislature on Monday last. It
makes radical changes in the basis of
taxation, and is supposed to embody
the best features brought out by the
labors of the Assessment Commission.
The Bill comes into force June lst,
1905, so that in many cases it will be
two years before its influence will be
felt upon the taxation.
—The Toronto News, edited by Mr.
Willison, formerly editor of the Globe,
speaking of the change of sentiment
in the provinces, says :—
"The position in Ontario needs no
comment. The Liberal Government
is already rejected by the electors, and
is only managing to cling to office for
a little longer by the device of dodging
the courts and the consequent bye -
elections, through an abuse of the
Lieutenant -Governors prerogative....
....The narrow majority for the Gov-
ernment is responsible. for some
strange proceedings this session. But
the introduction of the bill to assist
the collapsed industries at Sault Ste.
Marie is by far the most extraordi-
nary, indefensible and dangerous act
of the present Government.'
—The Clinton New Era changed its
tone last week. It dropped its anger ;
but what is even worse, it donned the
garb of hypocrisy and put on a sancti-
monious whine at what it terms the
"depravity and meanness" of the edi-
tor of this paper, Mr. Holmes should
save his tears, regrets and sorrow, and
bestow them upon a certain man in
Clinton, who climbed into parliament
by means of votes he was not entitled
to, and even when advised by the
Globe to resign, he dishonestly held
on to the seat that rightfully belonged
to another. Just turn your deluge of
tears and sorrow upon him, for he bas
"clerical" aspirations at times. Rest
assured that if Robt. Holmes gets in-
side the pearly gates (and we hope he
will) the editor of the Advance will
not be behind in the procession. The
Advance did not "distort the truth,"
and its editor's record for "truth and
honor" will compare favorably with
that of Robt. Holmes. The figures we
quoted from the Year Book have yet
to be proven incorrect. Don't waste
your whines and tears on the editor of
this paper, Bro. Holmes, but get rid of
some of the hate that rankles in your
heart against the Advance. If we
ever need any one to blubber over us,
we seek some one whose enmity is less
pronounced than yours.

—Last week, the Wingham Times
assumed the role of adviser to this
paper, and said :—
''Patient, persistent plodding and
plowing in your own furrow is the
way to success in the newspaper
business.
Yes, and the editor of the Advance
has practised this "patient, persistent,
plodding" in the newspaper business
for over twenty years. "Patient, pet-
eistent plodding," etc., has lifted the
Advance into the front rank, and if
the secret was known, that is the rea-
son it is singled out for combined at-
tack by several of the Grit papers in
the county. Now my dear fellow, if
you are sincere and "do not want to
be dragged into the controversy," why
drag yourself into it lay copying ;every
"misleading statement" about this
paper and its editor, that you can
find ? We are seeking no quarrel ; we
only defended ourselves against an
uncalled for attack. Surely we had as
much "right" to quote figures from
the Year Book and comment on them,
as you have to publish untruthful
paragraphs about this paper. Had 'we
retaliated in kind, we should have
published a very sharp communication
