Canada's local trade in the past fiscal year with the United States was 3388,- 440,000, and with Great Britain $242,- 742,000. On the theory of the anti - reciprocity spell -binders, our loyalty must be in great danger. By professions the members of the new Ontario Legislature will line up as follows: -Lawyers 29, doctors 11, vet- erinary surgeons 2, merchants 14, manu- facturers 7, farmers 14, lumbermen 5, accountants 3, undertaker 1, editors 2, insurance men 4, contractors 3, mechan- ics I, financiers 2, teacher 1, real estate 1, civil engineer 1, apple buyer 1, cattle dealer L One hundred men, artisans in the Dominion Public Works Department, were discharged by the Governm• nt on Saturday. Four masons, six plumbers, three carpenters, and five painters are on the list, the rest being Iaborers temporarily employed since just before September 21. A few foremen and as- sistant foremen are also slated to go, all for too open partisanship in the re- cent election. Immigrant settlers to the number of 281,898 arrived in Canada during the first eight months of the current fiscal year, April 1 to Dec, 1:. Of the num- ber, 180,206 arriyod et ocean ports, and 101,892 from the United States. These figures show an increase of sixteen per cent. as compared with those for the corresponding months of the last fiscal year, which were 150,618 at ocean ports, and 92,452 from the United Stat- es, makings total for the eight months,. April 1 to Dec. 1, 1910, of 24$,071 per- sons. Commenting on the result of the re- cent election the Godericb Signal tsays: In North Huron, considering the whole situation, the Liberals did remarkably well. Mr. Kerr was not a resident of the riding, he was chosen as the party candidate only a few weeks before the polling, and he was unable ewing to in the highest type of womanhood. Scott's �i3 0 Ate..,y �r muision is the highest type of curative foots, i The nourishing and curative demerits in ►� P.coti's Emulsion are so t, perfectly combined that «; ; ll (babies, children rend' atlultra) are equally bene- fitted and built up. t Ls *are- to get $$C IDS-- z,^',Y Esse Stamford and deraye. ? ,.c 8,011', •.:4 onuoc woo fi ill -health to hold meetings or make a person; canvass through the riding, in some parts of which he was almost un- known. Mr, Kerr from hit home, - where he was confined during a great part of the .campaign, put up 3 gallant fight, and deservei the gratitude of the Liberals of Huron for hit courage in essaying "a forlorn hope."

Another installment of the Govern- ment's idea of "civil service reform" came on Monday with the summary dismissal of another batch of sixty-five Liberal employees in the Public' Works Department, Over two hundred men in Mr. Monk's department alone have now been dismissed in Ottawa without notice and practically without investi- gation. There only offence is that they are Liberals who stand in the way of Conservative workers who want their jobs. No more cruel or unjust wield- ing of the axe has ever taken place in the history of government in Canada. It is practically, as Mr. Carvell, M. P. for Carleton, described it, a system of "petty larceny". Christmas gifts to the party workers, regardless of who Buffers, seems to be the spirit of peace and good -will now animating his Majes- ty's loyal advisers. ------^sir---_-.
