MR. WHITNEY'S LETTER.
In an open letter to the electors of
Ontario, J. P. Whitney has imitated
the action of Premier Roes by calling a
Conservative convention to be held in
Association hall, Toronto, on the 24th
of this month. This convention will
differ vastly from the greet gathering
of Liberals, inasmuch as it will be
simply consultative in purpose. Accord-
ing to Mr. Whitney's letter it will not be
marked by the noble object to formulate
a policy of any description. It is ap-
parent that the Opposition is without a
policy and that it vionld rather remain
at criticising the Government than to
take a decided stand and shoulder res•
ponsibility in endeavoring to shape the
affairs of this Province, Measures
calculated to serve the best interests of
the people of the Province are of little
moment with the Opposition, compared
with the "importance" of scandalizing
the Government as a matter of prin-
ciple. There are many striking feat-
ures about Mr. Whitney's letter. It is
remarkable from the fact that it does
not outline or even hint at a solitary
course of action tondhing ' the great
question of "improved" legislation about
which the Opposition does so much
shouting. The message is also extraor-
dinary from the pharisaical attitude of.
the gather. Mr. Whitney is "thankful"
that he is not like the "wicked" Lib-
erals, and from his "virtuous" emin-
ence there is nothing to outrageous for
him to lay at the door of the Govern-
ment. The past record of the Conser-
eset.tive party is well known and does not
warrant Mr. Whitney and his colleagues
crying out against the Government in
reguard to corruption.
The letter, which it is expected will
bring about the Conservative rally, is
further remarkable from the manner in
which the public questions of the day -
in which the Opposition are supposed
to take a stand -are evaded. Mr.
Whitney does not commit himself or
his colleagues to a solitary platform, but
on the contrary, he shows a determina-
tion to drag the Government into the
mire, hoping to gain favor by calling
upon the people "who desire clean, hon-
est and decent governmeut." Mr.
Whitney speaks of discussing the
"situation," and he repeats that "the
first great neeessity of the situation is
clean, honest and decent government."
He is careful to condemn the Govern-
ment in the most caustic manner, but
he has no program of his own to offer
as to how he would improve existing
conditions. He is appealing to the
people too empty-handed to be
looked upon as the modern ,Moses. He
has defamed the whole Liberal party by
his unwarranted and unsparing criticism.
Nothing eau be gained from such tac-
tics. It is true that there have been
cases of individual conduct on the part
of Government supporters that are to
be deplored, but this is one of the very
matters that will receive thorough con-
sideration at the Liberal convention,
and in reguard to which a rigid policy
will no doubt be adopted. It ie an im-
portant fact that in the constituencies
where the Conservative press were the
loudest in their denunciation of the
Government, the Liberal candidates
were victorions in the recent elections.
In this respect we mention the Hamilton
Spectator, the London Free Press, the
Wiuuipeg Telegram and the Ottawa
Citizen. The extravagance of the
statements that emanate from the
Opposition are ridiculous in the extreme.
It has inoessantle endeavored to associate
the Government with fill that ie evil in
the administration of the affairs of the
Province.
It is worth repeating that where the
Opposition had raised a hue and cry in
connection with the work of returning
officers in the Federal elections, the
Government has come out with flying
oolors, At London and Brantford,
where recounts were made, the situation
was practically unchanged, the result
indicating that the work of the return-
ing officers has been performed in the
cleanest possible manner.
That the Liberals, as a party, stand
for clean election methods is evidenced
by the promptness with which the
Government undertook the investigation
into the alleged bogus ballot boxes case
at Belleville.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
There is a rumor at Ottawa that Prof.
J. W. Robertson may resign his position
as Dominion Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Dairying, to accept the prin-
cipalship of a new agricultural college,
to be established at Ste. Anne's, near
Montreal, by Sir William Macdonald.
On Thursday last Hon. J. R. Stratton
made public the formal letters which
mark his retirement from public life.
One is addressed to Premier Ross and
the other to Mr. Peter Hamilton, Presi-
dent of the West Peterboro Liberal As-
sociation, and both are dated Oct. 12,
over one month ago. The delay until
now has been occasioned by the Domin-
ion elections, and no doubt by the subse-
quent decision to hold a convention of
the Liberal party.
For 20 years John A. Macdonald,
shrewd old Scotchman and strong leader,
kept the Dominion in the paths of Con-
servatism. Macdonald died and then
rose up one Wilfrid Laurier, assuredly
to be accounted one of the world's great-
est men and ablest publicists. Times
and issues haven't changed much, but
attracted by the allurements of fascinat-
ing leadership, the same Dominionera
who have followed Macdonald through
stress and storm, resisting every effort to
turn them aside, now follow Laurier's
directly opposite path. -Detroit Journal.

IHLOTCf Y SKINS.
A Trouble Due to Impure Blood
Easily Remedied.
Bad blood is the wee great cause of
bad ootuplexiou and blotchy skins. 'Phis
is why you must attack the trouble
through the blood with Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills, AU blotches, boils, ulcers,
pimples and paleness are the direct, un-
mistakable result of weak blood loaded
with impurities, Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills conquer the poison; they drive out
all the impurities; they actually make
new, rich red blood; they strike right at
the root of all oomplexion troubles; they
are a positive and permanent mire for
all virelant skin diseases like eczema,
scrofula, pimples and erysipelas. They
give you a clear,clean soft skin, free
from all blemish and full of rosy health.
Mr. Matthew Cook, Lamertou, N.W.T.,
tells how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cored
him of erysipelas setter other medicines
had failed. He gays: -"My skin was
inflamed; my flesh tender and sore; my
head ached; my tougne was coated: I
had chills and thought I was taking the
fever. I tried several medicines, but no-
thing helped me until I began using Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and drove the
trouble from my system, am I am now
in the best of health. I think these pills
the best medicine in the world for blood
troubles."
It is an every day record of cures like
this that has given Dr. Williams' Piuk
Pills their world-wide prominence.
They cure when other medicines fail,
but you must get the medicine with the
full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People" on the wrapper around
every box. You can get these pills at
all druggists, or by mail at 50 cents a
box, or six boxes for $2.50, by writing
The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brok-
vilIe, Ont.
Uses of the Shade Tree.
It is an excellent move to encourage
tree -planting on the residential thorough-
fares. There has been too great neglect
of this work in Galt. From the sanitary
viewpoint the shade -tree is invaluable.
It is the lungs of the street; and we all
know that the healthier and stronger a
pair of lungs, the heartier and more
long-lived the possessor. Trees take in
atmospheric impurities and give off
healthful coolness. They absorb or
otherwise counteract exhalations from
earth and water that would menace
human life. They secrete and discharge
beneficent gases. So that apart from
their mere beauty of form and the um-
brageous uses they serve, shade -trees
are to be prized as real agencies in pro-
moting good sanitation and protecting
the community against malarial one,
breaks. It is to be hoped the interest re-
awakened in tree -planting in Galt will
not abate. Under the auspices of the
local improvement committee of the
board of trade the work of supplying
trees is going on gratifyingly. But there
yet is wanted a more general response to
the offer of good saplings for planting at
a nominal prioe.-Galt Reporter.

• Some Health Hints.
For Hoarseness -If you are hoarse,
lemon juice squeezed do to soft sugar till
it is like a syrup and a few drops of
glycerine added, relieves the hoarseness
at once,
For nervousness try celery tea, which
may be made by steeping the tops, roots,
or even the seed, or draining the water
from cooked celery,
Olive oil is used by many as an article
of food. It is considered a remedy for
biliousness. A teaspoonful may be taken
before breakfast and at bedtime.
Lemon Juice -It has long been known
that the juices of all fruits are healthful
and that they are disinfectants, cleans-
ing the mouth and stomach. Lemon
juice is particularly heathfnl. The use
of one lemon a day by people in health
or sickness would, in most instances, be
desirable. The juice should be diluted
with six times the amount of water,
either hot or cold. It has recently been
discovered that lemon juice laa preven-
tive of pneumonia. Use lemons freely,
as well as other fruits, since they have a
tendency to destroy the germs of disease.
Disinfect Your Month -The months
of healthy people contain germs of pneu-
monia and other diseases. If the month
is disinfected each day these disease
germs will not only be destroyed, but
the teeth will be protected and the gums
invigorated. Apply to your druggist
for a disinfectant wash for the month
which is inexpensive.

"THE LARDER OF SWORDS."
8atordsy 1Sovlew'. CrIUclsm of Sir (:pilaff
Parket'. New book.
The following criticism itt the Sat+
urtlny Review of Sir CI Rhea Park-
er's latest book, 'Plea Ladder of
Swords," called for the author's pro-
test to that paper that "it is little
likely to inspire gratitude or re-
spect
o-spect in the nlind of its author."
The editor replied -"Our fault is
that we do not take Sir Gilbert
Parker at Ids own estimate. We take
hint rather at the estimate of his
Canadian fellow -countrymen."
'1'he reviewer cotnpnres Sir Gilbert'..
book with "The Queen's Quair," an-
other historical romance, and says;
Ono of these tales Is written as
though it happened but yesterday,
and yet goes back at onto its three:
hundred years. There is about it.
scarcely a ,touch of the wilfully
archaic; just a hint of place, and the
rest the simplicity of all strong feel-
ing. 13ut this other, the "Lathier of
Swords,", uses every tack of diction..
every device of antique coloring, to
push its stage into the past, and suc-
ceeds in putting it no further from
us than behind the footlights of u.
theatre. Theatrical it is in all its
twistings; dramatic not a whit. We
have ruff's, hose, jerkins, halberdiers,
corselets, nlorions, Moorish pikesi,
birds from the Indies, jousts, tiltinge,
and so fortli. Every bit of stale col
or from the age of Elizabeth is plast-
ered on to the scene,, but never for
an instant do we get, an impression.
of that age; never is the working of
e single mind reveealed that might.
not havo been brought up on cheap
science and the penny paper, and not
once is there a hint of the moulding
influences of a time so removed from
olirs. The men tilt and fight. and
drink canary, and the women sit
upon rushes, wear ruffles and slashed
sleeves, and use the time-honored
phrases, but neither so nuhch as sug-
gested`the ferment and roughness of
their time. They belong, indeed, too
an age, they are unpossessed of
reality, they are of that great com-
pany of ihupossibles that people the
stage.
01 the character of Queen Eliza-
beth, the writer -says she sets a high
standard of theatrical verbiage. "Her
eyes," he tells us, "wore ever a de-
termined look, Were persistent and
vigilant, with a lurking trouble, yet
flooded, too, by a quiet melancholy,
like a low insistent note that floats
through an opera of passion, rom-
ance, and tragedy; like a tone of
pathos giving deep character to some
splendid pageant, which praises while
it commemorates, proclaiming con-
quest while the grass has not yet
grown on quiet houses of the child-
ren of the sword who no more wield
the sword." That is a good deal to
put into an eye, especially into a.
queen's eye, and the fact that all its
piled -up fIescriptiveness produces no
image makes it worth quoting here
as significant of the entire effort and
failure of the book, It is in con-
struction'anti development hopelessly
artificial; thgre is not anywhere in it
a single direct human touch to im-
part to one of the characters a sav-
our of reality.
A note appended to the story men-
tions that "there will .be found t.
few anachronisms in this talc," but
chronological displacements are a
small matter, even in historical rom-
ance, compared with psychological.
One docs not complain that the facts -
anti the people are out of keeping
with a specified time, but that they
are out of keeping with all time;
that they not only misrepresent the
Elizabethan age, they misrepresent
humanity. One must suppose that
that such a book is written in com-
pliance with the market demand, for
one cannot imagine its compilation
proving of any interest to a man's
intelligence.
Million. Go to Sunday School.
The report presented to the Sunday
School Association of Ontario at the
recent annual meeting by President
Ilailhilton, though not altogether of
a congratulatory character, was en-
couraging. He said the people of On-
tario plumed themselves on the great
resources of the province, on its ad-
vancement and increase in popula-
tion, but he thought the Sunday
schools had not been growing as
they should have been. I.ess than
one-fourth of the province was repre-
sented in the Sunday schools, and it
was a question what was to be done
with the remaining three-fourths. If
the Dominion had ranked as high as
Ontario, there would be about 416,-
000 more Sunday school members
than at present. Of the 786,654 Sun-
day school inembers in Canada, On-
tario's share Ives nearly 500,000, or
about 225 to every 1,000 of popula-
tion. That Canada's average, 147 to,
every 1,000 of population, was less
than that of the united States,
which country had over 13,000,000s
Sunday school members, was due to
the Province of Quebec. The total
evangelical Sunday school ehrollment
et the world, teachers, officers and;
scholars, was 20,055.688,
Nolte .f a Tragedy.
"Do you see this," said James
Beatty of Huron, as ho placed a
piece of flint on a Kincardine edi-
tor's desk, *'There is a tragedy con-
nected with that --a murder, prebab--

Recently Mr. Beatty and George M.
Chambers Were walking along the
plains south of fine River, near the
town plot of Alma, when they came
across that piece of flint. Mr. Cham-
bers went to pick it up when he
found it imbedded in the hip bone of
a human skeleton. The flint is about,
13 incises long', and its widest point
is about e inches. It ie pointed and
was clearly an arrow head. The sup-
position is that the shaft was shot
by an Indian, but 'whether the vic-
tim was an Indian or a pale face,
Mr. Beatty cannot say. Ile has been
here over fifty years and dots not
think it could have happened in that
time. ,
