L. Borden, Conservative Leader for the Dominion announces his policy of Government railway ownership, thus :- "It is for the people to decide. Let them determine whether Canada shall have a Government-owned railway or a railway -owned Government," 1DeE'- -During last Year 11,079 American immigrants took up homesteads in the Canadian West. Of this total, 3,404 were from North Dakota, 3,272 from Minnesota, and 632 from' Wisconsin. These figures justify the impression that the great bulk of the immigration from the United States is made up either of ex -Canadians or of Scandina- vians of the first or second genera- tion. tire • -Speaking of the boast that the Do- minion Government has a surplus this year of $16,500,000, The Farmer's Sun says :-- "The Dominion Government has no such excess of revenue over expendi- ture. At the most its surplus for the year does not exceed $7,500,000. Tak- ing the whole period that the present Government has been in power, the excess of receipts over expenditures is not more than a million dollars, and even this ha been created, not out of ordinary revenues, but from the sale of assets in the form of public land," Nee -That the newspapers of the country are doing their share towards keeping the post office department on a paying basis is shown by the returns of the postage paid, given to Parlia- ment by Sir Wm.

According to Sir Wilfrid, thousands of the bravest soldiers in the British army, who have fought and bled and died for their country, are merely "foreigners", that is, on a par with Doukhobors or Itali. ans, perhaps. --The hotel -keeper of the best hotel in Norwich has been refused a license because he is a Conservative. The Liberals of South Oxford have pro- tested against the action of the Com- missioners ---and the protest is signed by the leading Liberals of the district.. They conclude their protest thus - "We will not take part or cast our votes in the conning election to redeem South Oxford to the Reform peaty" "No Conservative need apply" Will ?loon be the rule under Liberal regime, from the officering of a militia r'egi- rtient to the holder of an hotel license, --Dr. Lee, Secretary of the U.

Ile and ulcers with which it is 80 freely _ literally shook the dust off his clothes disfigured. But Mr. Ross, in cieliil at once, taking a ticket for Orillia and elate tveesort to his own higher in- stincts and principles, accepted the low partisan notion that office is the chief end of politics and that the ir- remediable disgrace of political ser- vice is to be beaten. As a result we had the purchase of Gamey, the dis- franchisement of North Renfrew, the deliberate application of public money to political bribery at Sault Ste. Marie, and the Government's pitiful shuffling and doubling on prohibition and reform of the license system. • 211r - There appear to be various rifts and splits in the Liberal party. It is a pleasing sigh, and one that augurs well for the country when old time Liberals become so disgusted with their Leaders that they refuse to re- spond to the party lash. In South Oxford, there is open revolt, and in that riding, once so solidly Liberal, it is now well-nigh impossible to elect a Liberal candidate. The party bosses in the' vicinity of Dundas have been trying to prevent the out -spoken ut- terances of the Liberal newspaper, the Dundas Banner, and failing to do that, threaten to start one that will serve their partisan interests irrespec- tive of conscience. The editor of the Banner speaks his mind freely, and in the Fisher -Dundonald affair took Dundonald's side of the question. Ber -We sincerely hope that no serious trouble leading to clash of arms, will ever arise between the United States and Canada. It is • said that the Americans are increasing their forces and armament at leading points on the Canadian frontier. Just when - this is being done, it is unfortunate that actions of a Minister of the Do- minion Government have exposed the weakness of our militia equipment. - Should trouble arise just now, it would find us with less than forty thousand rifles for 100,000 men. It is also stated on good authority that these 40,000 men could fire away every cartridge in the country in half an hour. One thing however can be 'said, that is -if trouble should arise just now, a foe might find our militia system so controlled by political wire - pullers, that the question whether the soldiers be Grits or Tories, is of more importance to the powers that be, than the efficiency of a regiment. It would also find us with the best mili- tia commander Canada ever had, denounced as a foreigner and kicked out because he dared to call public attention to the defects of our system. It is well under these circumstances that war between the two countries is almost inconceivable, so united are their commercial interests. -According to the figures of Assess- ment Commissioner Black, the po- pulation of Windsor has increased 425 during the past year. It is now 13,- 835, -Miss Maggie McPherson of Mc- Killop is down with typhoid fever, She is the fifth one of a family of six who has suffered with this terrible disease within the last three months, and at least two or three are yet quite 111. -Mayor Hay, while on his way to Ottawa Iast week, met Mr. Patterson, chief engineer of the C.

There is a total increase in the acreage this year of 500,000 acres, -A Hamilton young elan in remit- ting $100 to his step -mother deducted from the amount. 82 cents, to pay for the money order and postage. The step -mother sued hire for this 32 cents, claiming that without it she -vas not receiving the hundred, udollars to whieh she was entitled. To prevent many similar similar law suits it is desirable to advertise the fact that Judge Mere- dith has decided. that the young man must pay over the 82 cents and two dollars costs. -The sudden death etc Thursday, , the 23rd, of John McLennan has east a, shadow over the vicinity of Arnberley. - The deceased was a. native of Ashileld but spent several years of his .life in Manitoba, returning only last Christ- mas to reside with his brother, M.

The three horses that es- caped from the building were forced to remain inside until their halters were burned and the doors destroyed, when .of their own accord they left the burning building contrary to the usual action of horses at ae ll a time, Of the living horses, the one which was .most severely burned belonged to a young man named Francis, who came to the farm that morning to work. The cause of the "fire is un- known. •1' One of the Vilest Diseases Is catarrh which first attacks the nose and throat and finally spreads through the system. The one sure clue is fragrant healing Catarrhozone which is sent by the air you breath direct to the root of the trouble. Mr. j T. Y. MacVicar of Yarmouth, suffered for years from catarrh and says, "In - rny Iong experience with this loath- some disease I never used any remedy that relieved and cured so promptly as Catarrhozone. When my nostrils were so stuffed up that I couldn't breathe I found a few inhalations of Catarrhozone was sufficient to clear away the mucous. I am perfectly cured by Catarrhozone and free from the disease entirely." Use only ca- tarrhozone. Complete outfit $1,00; trial size 25c. Howick. Win.
