THURSDAY, JAN. 7, 1904.
HON. DR. MACDONALD.
As will be seen from the report of the
East Heron Liberal Convention, held 'n
Brussels on Wednesday last, Dr. Mac-
donald, M. P , Deputy Speaker of the
House of Commons, was again unani-
mously chosen to contest the riding in
the Liberal interests at the next Domin-
ion elections. The enthusiasm and un-
uimity wk?'' ; which the name of the
resent member was received not only
tested his popularity in the constitn-
cy he has so long had the honor to re-
sent, but it is a tribute to his energy
ability as a legislator. It must be
ifyine to his constituents to know
the services so ungrudgingly given
interest of his country have been
ized by his colleagues in the
to such an extent as have placed
the Deputy Speaker's chair; and
has discharged the duties of this
orable position with credit to him-
self and honor to the country no one will
deny. The doctor's capacity for hard
work has contributed largely to his suc-
cess in the legislative councils—and this
capacity has rather increased than dim-
inished with advancing years. His fine
debating qualities and excellent plat-
form manner, together with the admir-
able manner in which he marshalls facts
and figures together with his extensive
and accurate knowledge of the affairs of
the country. make him an exceedingly
difficult man to meet in a political
campaign. His election is looked forward
to as a sure thing, and we hope to see
him in the next parliament advanced to
the Speaker's chair.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Provincial revenue from succes-
sion duties last year was $389,000
against $238,000 in 1902, and $379,000 in
1901. Last year's revenue was swelled
by several large cheques, including these
on the estates of the late Senator Wood,
Hamilton; Sir Frank Smith, Henry
Cargill, M. P. and George Cook, To-
ronto.
Indeed, Canada is in a position very
similar to that of the United States in
the seventies and eighties, when we were
opening up our wheat and cora lands.
bout 3,000,000,000 acres of Canadian
grain land are now under cultivation;
sheet 100,000,000 acres more are equally
arable. That means railroads. Canada
will be the great trunk builder of the
coming decades—Boston Transcript.

A large and enthusiastic gathering of

Dungannon on Tuesday. Mr, Robert
Holmes, the present popular member,

the coming election, Mr. Holmes was
the only name brought before the con-
vention, which was unanimous in desir•
ing that he should continue to represeut

Holmes gave a rousing address on the
questions of Dominion politics, and was
followed by Mr. M. G. Cameron,

situation in an eloquent address. The
Liberals of West Huron are in splendid
trim for the fray, and with a good Gov-

DOES HE EARN HIS SALARY?
Winghani, Jan. 4, 1964
To the Editor of the Tums :—
Dear Sir,—Wilt you be kind enough
to let the ratepayers of Winghani know
what the Chief of Police does, or rather
should do, for the salary he gets? I, with
many others whom I have heard speak-
ing of the matter, was of the opinion
that a part of his duty was caretaker of
the town hall; but I am. convinced that
a visit to oar municipal building on
almost any day would reveal the fact
that it is not very well taken care of.
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness," say
the Scriptures, but in this instance at
least, I fear that the Word has not in the
past been sufficiently heeded. I have also
thought that it was the duty of the Chief
to collect from those liable for poll tax,
and yet on looking over the financial
statement for 1903, only $79 was reported
as having been collected, when I feel
certain there are a larger number of per-
sona liable for this tax than the above
represents. Then I have heard it said
that when some of the "boys" get a
little too much firewater and become
noisy enough to need the attention
of this very necessary bet sometimes in-
convenient minion of the law, the Chief
is conspicuous by his absence. Whether
this be true or not, I cannot say, as I am
not in a position to know. But I, as well
as many others, would like to know just
What the present duties of the Chief
Constable are. I notice that he is in re,
ceipt of a fairly remunerative salary
from various sources, and the question
arises, does he perform the duties per-
taining to his multifarious offices in a
satisfactory manner. Hoping to be en-
lightened on this matter, I remain,
Yours truly
RATEPAYER..
' In answer to the above communica-
tion, the TIMEX interviewed the Town
Clerk and saw a copy of the by-law de-
fining the duties of the Chief Constable
of the Town of Vlringham, the contents
of which we herewith give:—
try-Law No.185,1891, says that the Chief Con-
gtable of the Town of Wingham shall be :--
Collector of Poll Tart.
Collector of Dog Tax.
Collector of all license fees imposed by by
Taw.
Sanitary Tnspeetor.
Caretaker of Town Hall and Piremon'a Hall.
Vire Inspector.
Bread Inspector.
Street Inspector.
As Chief Constable ho shall diligently per-
form the duties of a peace. officer within the
inunicipality and enforce the by-laws of the
town. He shall hot perform any official busi-
ness for any Justice of the Peace other than
the Mayor of the town. nor accompany any
prisoners to jail except with the consent of the
Meyer or acting Mayor.
Since the above by-law was, mowed the Chief
Constable has been appointed ('hief of the P'ire
Rrlaede, Truant Meer, and Caretaker of the
Waterworks. The Chief Goaatalsle for di num•
bee of years collected the town taxed without
additional salary.

AN INTERESTING CHAT WITH REV.
R. HATCHETT.
lie Assorts People Should Speak Plainly
When Their Words Will Benefit Others,
Prom the Recorder, Brockville Ont,
Rev. T. Hatohett, general agent of tl.e
African Methodist Church la Canada,
spent several 'days in Brookville recently
in the interest of the church work.
Taking with a reporter he said he always
liked to visit Brockville, because he
found so many of its citizens in hearty
sympatey with the church work he repre-
sents, -And besides, said Mr.Iiatohett,
"I have what may be called a seutimen-
tal reason for Lkiug Brockville. It is
the home of a medicine that has done me
much good and has done much good to
other members of my family. I refer to
Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills." "Would you
mind," asked the reporter, "giving your
experience with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills?" "Not at all," said Mr. Hatchett,
"I always say a good word for this medi-
cine whenever the opportunity offers.
I know some people object to aking
in public about medicines thee use, but
I think this is a narrow vi to take.
When ono finds somethi really good
and really helpful in r 'eying human
ills, it seems to me it ' a duty we owe
other sufferers to p them in way of
obtaining new het . You can say for
me therefor that think Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a very superior medicine—I
know of no other so good. My work, as
you may judge, is by no means light, I
have to travel a great deal in the interest
of our church work, and it is no wonder
that often I find myself mach run down,
and afflicted almost with a general pros-
tration. It is on occasions of this kind
that I resort to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills'
and I can say in all sincerity that they
have never failed me. The pills have
also been used in my family, and among
my friends, and the results have always
been satisfactory. You may jest say
for me that I think those who are
afflicted with any of the ills for which
this medicine is recommended will make
no mistake in giving Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial."
The Rev. Mr. Hatohett's home is in
Hamilton, Ont., where he is known to
most of the citizens and greatly esteemed
by those who know him.
Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Jan, 5.—This was the first

cars, consisting of 931 cattle, 732 sheep
and lambs, 2,120 hogs and 25 calves.
Price for export cattle remained about
the same, but butchers cattle were a
shade higher.
Forty care of cattle, containing 723
head, arrived at the Union Stock Yards,

only 22 loads were put on the market,
the remainder being a consignment of
