HALL, PROPRIA7011. ebitoxzai Botts -At the recent election, Dr. Fisher of Montreal, father of Hon, 8, A Fisher, voted four times in four differ- ent Quebec divisions. * * -The aggregate* annual letter and newspaper mail of the world amounts to thirty-two billion, five hundred million pieces, of which eight billion, five hundred million go through the United States mails, r -Sonic idea of the government "sweep" in Nova Scotia may be gained from the fact that in one place where there were 250 names on the list, and of that number 249 voted. The Liber- al candidate received 171, On the same list it was known that 19 were dead and 40 away. • * • -The election returns in the United States show the plurality of President Roosevelt in the nation, according to all indications, will exceed 1,500,000, the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest ap- proach to this vote was in 1890, when McKinley received a plurality approxi- mating 850,000, and in 1872, when Grant received 762,991 plurality. * -The United States has spent twen- ty-two million dollars establishing Rural mail delivery, which now serves one-seventh of the population of the country. In the United States there are seventy-five thousand post -offices and five hundred thousand miles of postal routes, with a yearly travel over them amounting to•five hundred million miles. The service costs over one hundred and fifty million dollars a year. -The annual report of the Cancer Research Fund was recently submit- ted in London. From this it Appears that the disease is not, as has some- times been asserted, a product of civi- lized life. It pervades the whole world, civilized and ur.^ivilized alike. It af- fects animals as well as human beings, and fishes are not immune to it. But it is not infectious and not transmissi- ble from one species to another. It is not attributable to a parasite and is not increasing. The experiments of the past year have not show that radium exercises a curative effect. * . -Ori the present Ontario crisis, "The Presbyterian" says :-That a recon- struction is regarded as politically ne- cessary is an evidence that the people do not hold the present cabinet alto- gether guiltless for the iniquity that has been committed, intentionally for their•benefit, but actually to their un- doing. If it could be shown that no member of the cabinet had any com- plicity in political crime or personal knowledge of it, yet a government must inevitably and properly suffer for evil done in its behalf. Whether the electors will regard a reconstruc- tion as sufficient atonement for the past remains to be seen. * -Hon. RobertRogers, minister of public works for Manitoba, who is in Toronto in connection with the pro- vincial bond issue, declares that had the Conservative voters been permit- ted to vote Manitoba would have been won for the Dominion opposition. The privilege of voting was denied them in practically every polling divi- sion in the province, as from ten to forty voters found on presenting themselves at the polls that their names, although on the lists had been struck off in red ink, and ballots were refused thein. In the Beausejour di- vision of Selkirk 40 names were red lined, and the rnen so treated were all Conservatives. A number of deputy returning officers have already been placed under arrest. Provencher, Sel- kirk and Marquette were the worst districts. * * -Prof. Goldwin Smith in the Weekly Sun, says: -If the Prime Minister of Ontario and his colleagues care for the real interest of the pro- vince, they might take the result of the polling for the Dominion as virtually decisive of the verdict of the province, and act accordingly. It is morally certain that their party can- not by fair means do better than it did last week. The province ought not to be wantonly dragged through another contest each as it underwent not long ago and made to suffer a re- petition of all the bitterness, corrup- tion and infamy which then prevailed. It is surmised that the Government hopes to sueceed by an alliance with prohibition. If the prohibitionists lend themselves to such a compact they will be degrading a moral move- ment to the level of the lowest politi- cal intrigne, Neuralgic Headache Is Usually Attended with blinding pain, but relief comes quickly when Nerviline is applied, for it is the strongest pain -re- liever in the world. "1 consider Ner- viline a most magical remedy for neuralgia. I am ct sub eto violent at- tacks, writes Mrs. E. G. Harris of Beitimore, but never worry if Ner- viline. is in the house.

Premier Ross is very uneasy, For some time he has been halting between two opinions. -Whether to hold the bye -elections, or take a deeper plunge and appeal to the country, is the ques- tion. At best, if he tried the bye -elec- tions, he could only hope for a small majority, and to meets the House in that case, with tiff: Minnie M. charges hanging over him, would be danger- ous. Dissolution is favored, though here another difficulty presents itself. There are vacancies in the Cabinet, and so far the Premier has not been able to get anyone of standing to go into the dying government, He has consulted his colleagues and the mem- bers of the Legislature, but so far there is no rift in the clouds. In order to win if possible, the Pre- mk'r had partly decided to once more make a football of the Temperance question, that he has played with so long, but many of his supporters ob- ject to this device. An authority, usually reliable, says that both the ballots and the procla- mations announcing the elections on December 20, have been printed, and the proclamation, which was to have been issued last Thursday, was called off. The reason assigned is,that mem- bers objected to having an election thrown in their teeth without any warning. One of the older members refused to run unless he were given more time. They claim that they should be given some advantage by way of secret information. Besides this, when the Premier agreed to ex- tend the date of the election, the busi- ness men stepped in and threatened to withdraw support if he cut in upon the Christmas trade. Mr. Ross has pointed out that if he does not act the Clerk of the House will, and bring on the, bye -elections, which may force him out without the chance of a fight. Premier Ross' troubles are the result of wrong -doing. Had he gone out when he saw the electors of the Pro- vince showed by their votes that they were against his administration, he might have retained confidence and esteem. But he resolved to stay in at whatever cost. Hence, the Gamey scandal, North Perth, North Grey, North Norfolk, the Soo, the Minnie M. outrages, to say nothing of South Ox- ford and its awful revelations. Now he is driven to the last ditch. There are vacancies in the Cabinet which he cannot fill, and the Legislature must soon be called. In his distress the Premier has called a Convention of the party for Novem- ber 23, to formulate a policy on which to appeal to the country. If that Con- vention decides to make Prohibition the issue, we shall have the spectacle of a great moral issue once more dragged into the political arena, for no other reason than to -prolong the life of a discredited government that has not only outlived its usefulness, but disgraced the name of the pro- vince. Under such circumstances, to connect a Temperance movement with such a moribund concern is to invite defeat, and drag a moral issue in the mire. It is doubtful if Premier Ross' tricks will save him any longer. The thoughtful electors have lost confi- dence in him or his promises. "It is time for a change." COUNTRY NOT READY. East Huron Liberals Declare Public Opinion is Not Ripe for Prohibition. (Toronto News correspondence.) Seaforth, Ont., Nov. 12. -Mr. J. L. Killoran, president of the Seaforth Reform Association, heartily approved of the holding of a Provincial Liberal convention. He expressed the opinion that the bringing together of the members of the party from all parts of the Province should have an enthus- ing effect on the party as a whole, while the discussions of matters of in- terest from a party point of view would bring the leaders in touch with the rank and file of the party, and place before the leaders the unbiased views of their supporters. On the liquor question Mr. Killoran was quite reticent. Looking at the question from a purely party stand- point, he did not think the Govern- ment would gain anything by appeal- ing to the country on the prohibition question alone, but rather favored a more rigid enforcement of the present law and movement towards the aboli- tion of the treating system. clfr. W. H. Kerr of the Brussels Post and secretary of the East Huron Lib- eral Association, spoke quite hopefully of the benefit to be derived from a, party convention. It would undoubt- edly enthuse the party, and was, he considered, a strategetic move on the part of the Premier. Although a strong temperrnce maty, Mr. Kerr was quite outspoken in his views on the prohibition question.He thought it would be a very unwise move on the part of the Ross Government to appeal to the country on this question. In his opinion the country was not ready for so sweeping a measure, and an ap- peal to the country on ft world be dis- astrous to the party and to the cause of temperance. He thought it should be possible for the prohibitionists and the liquor people to come to some ar- rangement that would be satisfactory to both ; failing that, he favored a stringent enforcenient of the present litotes laws PORTLAND. REJOICES. During the campaign, opposition speakers pouted out that the traffic by the propose i'ihanscontinental rail- way, in the main, go to Portland, and that seaport, and not a Comedian one, will be the gainer by the building of the road under the present contract. It is a fact that Portland newspapers rejoice at the return of the Laurier Government to power, because it means a boom to Portland. Even the Boston Journal carne out with this headline : "Portland Boon. Its Assur- ed By Carnal 1 s Verdict," Equally gladdening were the tidings to tire Boston American, whose columns foamed up in large letters as follows ; "Canada's Vote Gives a Boom to Port- land; Liberal Victory Assures New Road to the Main City and Big Busi- ness," The Portland papers them- selves were more modest as to their headlines, though the Argus thunders thus in its index: "Decisive Victory for Laurier, Grand Trunk and Port- land." The Portland Express Bays :-"Ever since the Grand Trunk transcontinen- tal railway scheme was first suggested she has been, to speak plainly, in hot water. She could not speak out as she would have liked to for fear of saying something that would injure her interests, and the Grand Trunk has evidently been keeping very quiet about the port so as not to create too much feeling on the other side of the line against the port and perhaps spoil their Pacific railway plans. There is nothing to create business between Montreal and Moncton, and once at Moncton there is absolutely nothing there, for it is about 80 from St. John. N. B., the nearest seaport of any ac- count. And what is more, the Grand Trunk will then he Paralleling the Ca- nadian governments own line, the In- tercolonial railroad, running from Montreal to St. John and Halifax." Speaking on the day of the election, the Journal of Biddeford, Me., had this to say : "Portland has almost as much at stake in the Canadian election as she has in our own presidential election in the United States. If Sir Wilfrid Laurier's government is continued in power the Forest City will get most of the benefits of commercial annexation with few of the responsibilities that would accompany actual annexation." The above extracts confirm the statements made in reference to the matter by Conservative speakers. 4 THE CHRISTMAS DELINEATOR.
