A bank note represents money loaded to the beck by the people with.. out interest. Bauks might reasonably in return keep clean paper going. The Government, too. L issues millions a, dollars iu bank notee, which represent a Government hum ming which rays no interest. Both from gratitude and public considerations, our Governments might try to keep the paper clean,— Ottawa journal. The Liberal candidate in Guysboro', Nova Scotia, won a very substantial vic- tory. A majority of nearly four bun- dred represents more than the normal Liberal strewth in that constitueuoy. There is reason to thiuk that the Oppo- eition hoped for a differeut result, other. wise the seat would not have been con- tested. The election seems to show that Mr. Fielding has lost none of his strength in Nova Scotia, and that the Govern- ment will do woll there in the general election.—Toronto News. The Government have lost no time in bringing down the estimates, which Were laid before the House last week. They reach an aggregate of $62,933,338, Iwhich is $5,456,503 less than was demand- ed in the main estimates for the current 1 fiscal year. Of the total amount to be voted $19,660,551 is authorized by sta• tute. The total for ordipary purpones is 1$55,017,238; and on capital accouut $7,- , 918,100. While rhe aggregate is large, it includes many items that were voted last session, but not taken advautage of. We notice iu the list of money to be voted for public buildings there is an item of ; $18,000 for Winghatn's new post offiee uow being prepared, and tenders will be THURSDAY, MAR. 24, 1904asked for in the course of a few weeks. The work should be rushed. along as NOTES AND COMMENTS. rapidly as possible so the building could be completed before next wintet.

W. . . . son informed a deputation that there would be no special Sabbath observance legislation this sessiou. Northwest Canada is growing by leaps and bounds. In 1903 there were 32,082 homesteads taken up by settlers in the territories, making an addition of 130,- 728 to the population. The supplying of this large number of people with the ne• cessaries of life,to say nothing of luxuries, means an important addition to the business of the country, for they are all consumers. The Merchants Bank of Canada has issued entirely new fifty and twenty dollar bills. Both are of exquisite de- sign. The fifty dollar bill bears the figure of a stag and. the twenty a bul- lock's head. The latter is designed to represent its use more particularly by stock -buyers, who seem to prefer the twenty dollar bill to any other when drawing money from the bank. The Godericli Signal refers to customs taxation thus:—"The Wingham Advance argues that customs taxation has increa- edunder Liberal rifle because the amount received from customs duties has in- creased. A baker sells bread at five cents a loaf. A customer can afford, say, only one loaf a day at this price. The baker reduces the price to four cents a loaf and the customer takes two loaves a day. He pays eight cents a day for bread in- stead of five cents. Has the price of bread increased?" The future business conditions of Can- ada depend more upon the crops that will be raised this year than upon any other factor. The general judgment of sound observers of the situation is that the reaction this year is hut a temporary pause in the cor menial expansion of this conatry, that it is to be neither long nor severe, and that with good crops in the fall, we shalt again enter upon a per- iod of advancing prosperity, Iu the last analysis, therefore, the business outlook rests upon the crops, as the excellent yield of last year and large crops this year will form the basis of expansion.— Trade Review.

Cook, a well-to.do young farmer of the 5th line of Morris. As the cheery notes of the Vi'eclding March peal- ed. forth under the manipulation of Miss Aggie McNair, of Craubrook, the prin- cipals took their plitees beneath an evergreen and floral aroh in the parlor, the bride being given away by her father, Rev. D. B. McRae performed the ortho- dox ceremony, not making it needlessly long. The bride, who has been goner. ously dowered by Nature, looked churn- ing in a costume of white organdie, trim- med neatly with Mexican lace cuffs and collars aud satin sash. Natural flowers; were worn in her hair and a beautiful lboquet carried in herhand.

Tariff revision will probably come up in some form or other during the session of the Dominion House. The Toronto News has been col- lecting the- views of public men, mu. chants, manufacturers, and represeuta- tives of the farming interests, an wide divergence of opinion is expr ed. Unnsnal interest attaches •o the ses- sion of 1904 for several asons. The modification of t e Gra d Trunk Pacific scheme is bound to e the subject of much discussion addition to this, a general electio expected in many quarters shortly after prorogation. Of all daily reports of proceedings in the House, those of The Toronto News probably excel for accuracy and coin- pleteness. The News reports every' de- bate with care and fidelity, and having no party connections to serve, aims in its editorial comment us, treat each case honestly and fairly.

Catarrh is Certainly Curable In fact it' is one of the most curable diseases if fragrant healing Catarrhozone is used. No matter how long you have suffered with catarrh you can be perfect- ly cnred by inhaling the antiseptic vapor of Catarrhozone, which strikes at the foundation of the trouble and establishes such a healthy condition in the system that catarrhal germs simply can't exist. "I suffered from catarrh of the nose and throat for years," writes S. H. Downie of Plattsville. "My nostril.; were always stuffed up and I had a dis- agreeable hacking cough. Catarrhozone cured me completely." Catarrhozone never fails. Two months treatment $1.00; trial size 25e. Live Stock Markets.
