The following from the Orillia Times is well worth repeating: -"While we believe there is a tendency in both political parties to exaggerate the corrup- tion of their opponents, it is manifest that our political atmosphere is by no means as pure as is desirable. Every patriotic citizen must deplore the revelations that are from time to time made in electiou courts, and the time has come whin all honest men, irrespec- tive of party, should be willing to adopt all fair menus to abate the great evil. To assert that political dishonesty is all to be found in one party is manifestly absurd, and just as absurd is the asser- tion that the only way to purify our political life is to put one party out and uacther in. The Liberals of Ontario are at least one step in advance of their Opponents in the movement towards political regeneration. Through leading Organs-hotably The Globe --and through resolutions passed at numerous Liberal Conventions, the existence of corruption in the party has bean acknowledged, and our leaders are called upon to do their utmost to stamp it ont. The Conserva- tives, on the other hand, refuse to see any corruption, except in the ranks of the Liberals, although every student of the political history of Canada knows y'''ell that there is no form of corruption nown in politics that has not been prase (timed over and over again by the Conner- Vatives when in power. The Conservative party is not the party of purity as it claims to be. It never was in the past, and there is nothing in the recent history of the party in Ontario to show that it is now actuated by any other motive than to seize power by any means what- ever. The only way to purify our political life is for each party to attend to the cleaning up of its own back yard. Till that is done no satisfactory improve - smut can be expected." NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Councillor Thomas Bell was voted to the chair. The minutes of last meeting were read and adopted. A communication was received from the citizens' band, asking for the quar- terly grant of $25 00. On motion of Coons. Holmes and Armstrong, the money was ordered to be paid. A communication was received from the county treasurer stating that the balance of the license fees for Wingham for 1904 was $298.61. Mr. Gavin Wildon and Mr. Deyell addressed the council with a view to se- curing the cooperation of the council iu the way of putting a temporary bridge across the Maitland river at Zetland. They instanced the great inconvenieuce to those having teaming to do, and the loss to the town by reason of the bridge not having been completed. . It would be fully two months before the new bridge will be completed, and it was proposed to make a temporary strno- ture in the meantime, using some of the old bridge tor that purpose, The coun- cil concurred in the view of Mr. Wilson, and a motion was passed to that effect. Miss K. el. Fisher and Mrs. Wm. Corbonld waited on the Council on be- half of the Wingham branch of the Na- tional Sanitarium Association. The ladies reported that they had raised by subscription the sum of $202.84, and ask- ed that the Council grant the balance to make up the required $300 to endow a cot in the Muskoka Free Hospital.

Toronto, Dec. 6. -Although trade was a little slow at the city cattle market this morning, it does not follow in this case that there was no demand, or that prospects were poor. On the contrary there are pretty good indications that the market is looking np and that there is an upward tendency to price. In the first place there was rather a light run, and, being aware of this fact, the drovers and farmers were inclined to hold out for perhaps a little higher prices than present conditions really warrant. The local buyers, on the other hand, while wanting, cattle, were not ready to give the advances in many cases asked, not at least so early in the game, when, though there is no doubt an improvement in the ,general tone, in view of the ooming Christmas trade, the change as yet L not pro- nounced enough to warrant a too end - den jump in prices. The result was a waiting market, buyers hold off until later in the day, in the hope, of course that sellers would "listen to reason." For this reason, nb donbt, a good many poeeible transactions were deferred. Ocod butcher cattle were sold firm at last week's prices. Madiaui to rough cattle were steady and generally held at a little higher than a week ago. Rough and common cattle were not mach changed, going at as low as $1.50 to $2.
