KLt,10TT,Puners$en ANDD pommies 'THURSDAY • OCTOBER 19, 1911. EDITORIAL NOTES. The financial statement of the Dom- inion to the 30th of September, shows that for the six months of the current fiscal year the revenue amounted to $74,069,524, an increase of $7,921,331; the ordinary expenditure to $35,943,456, an increase of $824,794, and the capital expenditure to $12,318,027, a decrease of $112,109. The office of the veterinary director- general and live stock commissioner at Ottawa has just issued two bulletins that will be of interest to Ontario farmers. The first of these deals with Government assistance to agriculture 'in Europe, while the second gives the Canadian record of performances for pure bred dairy cattle. Both are avail- able for distribution. The Legislature which goes out of existence in the next few days is about three years and four months old, and, at its full strength, containing 106 members, of whom 87 were Conserva- tives and 18 Liberals. The odd man was the Labor representative, Mr. Ah Ian Studholme. At the present time. however, the Legislature has but 96 members. One vacancy was caused some months ago by the death of Mr. S. J. Fox of West Victoria, while the other nine were caused by retirements. is the highest type of womanhood. is the highest type of curative food. The Irourishing and curative elements in Scott's Emulsion are so perfectly combined 'that all (babies, children and adults) are equally bene- fitted and built up,_ Pe sat=e to get SCOtrs- iit'4t the Standard and always the best. Att. bfll1410/S1ra The World boasts that 13ourassa Sir Wilfrid's scalp at his belt, and the. scalp of the whole Liberal party in Quebec," But the trophy really hang- ing at Mr. Bourassa'a belt is the scalp of Mr. Borden, and the scaip of the whole Conservative party of Canada, He could never win a single concession from Sir Wilfrid, but 11Ir. Borden, gave hint three representatives in the cabi- net, and placed the big spending de- partment of Public Works in the hand of Natismalist Monk. -London Adver- tiser, Mr. J. G. Anderson, of Lueknow, was. ofi'ered the Liberal nomination of South Bruce, at the convention held in For. mesa on Thur'iaday, but before accepts. ing he has asked ten days to consider. It will be remembered that R.E. Truax represented South Bruce in the last House, but resigned to run for the Do- minion House. - Mr. Anderson is rt wealthy apple buyer, and is well known throughout the riding, and would make a strong, clean fight, The party is united and is well organized and will put up a vigorous fight to retain South Bruce in the Liberal fold. Some people will say that there are too many lawyers, eight in all, or nine when the solicitor -general is added, as against only seven in the Laurier minis- try. Others will be of opinion that the special interests, both of business and Bourassaism, have been too greatly catered to, but these two sections of the party played so great a share in the victory that they had to be recog- nized. Time alone will show how the contrary attitudes of the Quebec Na- tionalists and the Toronto Imperialists will be reconciled. It is said that oil and water do not mix, but in the make- up ofjhis political salad, Mr. Borden has certainly made a determined effort to make them mix. -Ottawa Free Press. The Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who are to preside over Rideau Hall at Ottawa as representatives of King George for the next few years, arrived at Quebec Thursday evening and landed Friday morning. They were accorded just such a reception as might be ex- pected from loyal Canadians to mem- bers of the royal household. The streets ,were gaily decorated for the occasion, and everywhere was mani- fested the livliest interest in the re- ception to the new governor-general. His excellency was received by the deputy governor-general, the members of the Dominion cabinet, the inspector- generaI of militia, the director of die naval service, the lieutenant -governor of the province of Quebec, the Prime Minister of the province, and the mem- bers of the Provincial cabinet. "After all the bother of the election, and of the great Conservative victory, and the "Conservatives coming to their own",by fifty of a majority, we are to have a coalition Government after all. A coalition is the voluntary association of members of different political part- ies to carryon a Government and carry out a policy. Mr. Borden is only half Conservative ---about all that is good in him in the matter of political principles, is the saving remnant of Liberal prin- ciples, not entirely overlaid by the new principles he espoused when he left the Liberal party to become a Conserva- tive. And Mr. Borden has selected for the chief member of his Cabinet --- the kingpin ---the Minister of Finance, a Liberal, in the person of Mr. William` T. White, of Toronto. Mr: Borden wants to have at least one "white" minister in his Cabinet,---Peterboro Examiner. A GIFT WITH A THOUGHT IN IT. What other Christmas present costs so little and means so much as a sub- scription to The Youth's Companion- 52 weeks to any Canadian subscriber for $2.00? It is a gift which benefits not only the one who receives it, but every member of the same household. With many Christmas presents the sense of novelty wears off by the week's end, but The Youth's Companion is as new and sought after the fifty-second week of the year as the first. • It is elastic in its adaptability, too; for it does not matter whether the present is for a boy or a girl, young married people, sedate couples, grandparents - there never was one yet who did not set store by The Youth's Companion. You cannot make a mistake if you give The Companion - and it is only $2.00 a year now to Canadian subscribers. On January 1, 1912. the price will be ad- vanced to $2.25, The one to whom you give the sub- scription willreceive free The Compan- ion's Calendar for 1912, lithographed in twelve colors and gold, and you, too, as giver of the subscription, will receive a copy of the Calendar.

This article is for the man or woman. who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely relieved -but actually' cured. The most s rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rub. bing something onthe tender, aching oina t, is little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or ever can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore rheumatism can only be cured whenthis poisonous acid is driven out of the blood, That's why rubbing and liniments and out- ward applications are no good -they can't reach the cause in the blood. Any doctor will tell you this is true, If you want something that will go right to the root of the trouble' in the blood every time, take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, They make new, rich, red. blood which drives out the poisonous acid and cures rheumatism to stay cured. This is a solemn truth which has been proved in thousands of cases, and the following is a striking instance. Mrs. H. W. Einar, Sarnia, On ., says: "I feel it my duty to recd end Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as the completely cured me of rheumatis after I had been almost an invalid f three years. I doctored with two ski ed doctors and took electric tree me t, but without benefit. On going to a third doctor he recommended mine baths as the only thing that would hep me. After tak- ing this treatment for some time I felt that I was really growing worse in- stead of better, and I began to think there was no cure for -me and that I was doomed to be a helpless sufferer. For some months I discontinued all treatment and then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking.a few boxes I could notice a dis- tinct improvement, and I continued taking the Pills for several months when the cure was complete. That is some two years ago, and I have ever since been perfectly free from the trouble, I would therefore advise any- one afflicted with rheumatism to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as they cer- tainly,made a remarkable cure in my case. These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS; With the smoke of the Federal battle. still drifting away • Ontario • is again facing a political campaign:'' Thursday Sir James Whitney put, an, 'end` to all speculation by announcing the pending dissolution of the. Legislature, with polling about the first Ot second week of December. ' Immediately on the receipt of the news that the Legislature would be dissolved at once and the elections held in December, The Toronto Globe cor- respondent interviewed Hon. Mr. Mac- Kay. The leader of tlie Opposition was strong in his condemnation of the Premier's action. "The date selected is as unseason-' able as the Premier's action is cowardly and unreasonable. With seventy of a majority at his back, his statement of two weeks ago that there were no elec- tions but the bye -elections on the hori- zon, while at that time everything in the shape of printing, etc., was being rushed preparatory to an immediate general election, scarcely tallies with his once wonted boast that he was 'honest enough to be bold and bold enough to be honest.' a g Had the Legis- lature been allowed to run its regular course, and smother session been held, the elections could, with very little in- terference with business, have been held in early June. As it is, the fall and Christmas trade will be largely in- terfered with. "If the statutes are adhered to, the greater number of the residents in all the unorganized portions of the Pro- vince, forming parts of no less than thirteen constituencies, will now be disfranchised. The latest voters' lists in that immense stretch of northern, Ontario are those upon. which the 1908 elections were held. In the discussion of many questions it was tacitly under- stood that there would be another ses- sion -notably so in conneetion with the serious complaints as to the bilingual schools --a question which could hot properly have been dealt with last ses- sion, owing to the fact that the com- missioner whom the Government had appointed had not then made his report as to the actual facts. Owing to the extreme importance of this subject and the gravity of the charges made, it was only fair that the Government and the Opposition should have declar- ed where they stood after the facts were ascertained, and before an elec.- tion. "Again, the census returns would be available at the approaching' session, and whatever increased representation is called for in New Ontario or else- where should be granted at the com- mencement and not in the middle of a decennial deeade," Dr. Daniel, M. Pi for St. John. N. has resigned in favor of Hon. J,D. Hoz. en, 1Vtinistei• of Marine in the Borden Government.

Trade was very slow, and the market 20e to 25e lower all round. There was an odd picked heifer here and there, very choice butcher; whicch sold at $5,90 to $6,--but,they were very few, and outside of these thegeneral run of butcher cattle were off fully 20e, and some claimed 25e to 30e. The trouble seemed to be a too heavy run, particularly in view of the fact that there was apparently nothing wanted for the Montreal market, which of late ha's proved to be. •a good outlet for the heavy cattle, and also that the export buyers for the American houses were slow in getting down to business, and .up to the noon hour had only taken about half .a dozen loads.
