Birge had been ill for six weeks since
the birth of her little boy, but was
supposed to be recovering nicely; so
much so that Mrs. Vanstone, Son., left
Hamilton to spend Thanksgiving in
Winghan7. Scarcely had she arrived
here when the wires flashed the news
of her daughter's death. The deceased
lady Was long a resident of Winghane
and for several years was teacher in
one of the departments of out school.
About two years ago she was Married
to Mr. Cyrus E. Birge, a ptotninent
business man of Hamilton, and soon

a member of Centenary Methaxlist
Church, and the fnnerial service Ives
conducted by Rev, Dr. Bose, her pas-
tor.

ed the esteem in which the deceased
WAS held.

some time was Town weigirnlaster, a
position which he filled with great
satisfaction to the public, who esteem-
ed him for his integrity of character.

NOTE AND COMMENT,
,'he Liberals of Centre Bruce nset
ort Friday in elamis and nominated
Andrew Malcolm of Kincardine a can-
didate to contest the riding against
Major Hugh Clark in the corning gen-
eral election.
••--Notwithstanding the hustle of
business caused by keen competition,
and the frequent political excitement,
it is pleasing to note that the interests
of humanity are not wholly lost sight
of, An effort is being nude in many
counties of Ontario to assist in the
laudable work of checking the ravages
of the "white plague," in plain words
—constnnption. The counties of Wa-
terloo, Perth, Wellington, Brant and
Oxford are moving in the direction of
the establishment of a joint Sanitari-
tun for the .consumptive poor.
—The St, Thomas Journal (Liberal)
#hakes an honest confession, and says ;
"The weakness of the Ross Govern
went is not in the policy of the leader
but in the internal management of the
party as a political organization. As
everyone knows, party organization is
necessary, but in recent years it has
been put in the hands of men who do
not look towards the welfare of the
party as a whole, but merely desire to
win elections. In consequence, cor-
ruption was resorted to and basest
methods used to influence public
opinion."
As we are on the eve of a general
election for the province of Ontario,, a,
review of the situation may not be
out of place. On May, 29th, 1902, the
Ontario Government appealed to the
electors, and there were returned 50
Liberals and 48 Conservatives. Five
bye -elections were held—North Grey,
North Perth, North Norfolk, North
York and Centre Bruce, The Govern-
ment made two gains, but the death.
of Mr. Munro of North Renfrew left
the figures 46 Conservatives, 51 Liber-
als.. After the death of Dr. Bridgeland
of Muskoka, and the unseating of A.
Miscampbell, bye -elections were• held,
each side snaking again, leaving the
figures the same -51 Liber:aIs, 46 Con-
servatives. North Renfrew election
was then brought on after long delay,
and was won by the Conservatives,
making the figures 51 Liberals, 47 for
Opposition. Then North Oxford be-
came vacant by the death of A. Pat -
tulle, but a Liberal (Munro) was elect-
ed to the vacancy, still holding the
figures 51-47, With the Speaker ta-
ken out, this left a majority for the
Government of three, with which it
pulled through the last seri"on. Since
then several more Liberals have been
unseated for corruption, and the ma-
jority has disappeared. These vacan-
cies, together with those caused by
then reconstruction nsti'uction of the Cabinet and
other resignations, have brought the
Government to face a crisis. Either
the bye -elections must be held or an
appeal to the electorate. The Premier
evidently has decided that the latter
course is the best, all things consid-
ered ; hence we are once more on the
eve of a general election.
