The dissolution of the Legislature was eintiterized Monday by the Lieuteuant- Goyernor, and the elections will be held on. Jan 25. A winter campaign could have been avoideed only by bringing ou the bye -elections. These would have held out little prospect of increasing the Government's majority, as the seats vacated, excepting North Reutrew and Dafierie, were held by Liberals in the Iasi Legislature. The Premier frankly told the Liberal convention that he had no desire to cling to office by a majority of three. The last session, when pairs were refused, and the Opposition carried on a guerrilla warfare, was a test of endurance which members on both sides of the Hoose would not care to experi- enceagain. Whatever the result of the ensuing election. it is to be hoped the {majority will be sufficient to insure stability for at least four years, The Liberals of Huron are ready for the elections with cuudidates nominated in the three ridings. Iu West Huron, the late member, Mr. M. G. Cameron will carry the Liberals to victory. In the 1902 election, Mr. Cameron carried the riding under very difficult conditions in having a candidate who was pledged ou the temperance platform of the D.tmiu- ion Alliance. Mr, Cameron has made a good member of the House, is a good de- bator and has a good grasp of all the leadiug questions of the day. He will stand by Hon Mr. Ross in carrying out the provisious of the Temperauce resolh- tions passed at the big Liberal conven- tion iu Toronto, If the Liberals of West Huron stand shoul ter to shoulder in the support of their candidate, Mr. Cameron should be returned by a largely increased majority. Iu East Huron, the Liberals have a good candidate in Mr. Arch Hislop, the late member. He had a large majority at the last election, but this should not be a means of allowing the Liberals to do any lagging. Let every Liberal vote be polled and Mr. Hislop is a sere winner. In South Huron, Rev. Mr. McLellon, of Kippen is the Liberal candidate and he has a good fighting chance of redeeming the riding as the Conservative majority in 1902 was only 53. If the Liberals of Huron do their duty on the 25th of January, Mr. Ross should have three supporters from this county. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Mr. Milton Carr, who is a cousin of our townsman, F. J. Carr, has been re- nominated as a candidate for the Legis- lature by the Liberals of Parry Sound. The Conservatives of South Huron will hold a nominating covention and mass meeting at Hensall on Tuesday next. It is likely that Mr. H. Eilber, the late member will be re -nomin- ated. It is now believed that Mrs. Casio Chadwick, whose forgeries of Andrew Carnegie's name reach a value of over $10,000.000, gambled upon the chance of his death, because in such event:ildr Carnegie's heirs would .have been un- able to prove that the notes and trust deed upon which the whole conspiracy was based were forgeries. The Dominion Presbyterian, discuss- ing the Temperance issue, after quoting the resolutions dealing with that ques- tion passed at the recent Liberal conven- tion in Toronto, says: -"The foregoing provisions put into the hands of those who consider the liquor traffic an evil an extraordinary and effective leverage, provided it is taken advantage of it; may not be all everyone would desire; but we most not be like the partially de- mented man who declared he would not budge from where he stood unless and until he could take the half mile to his home in one leap. The sane and safe method, after all, is step by step." Out of the 202 members -elect of the House of Commons that have been gazetted up-to-date, nearly one-third are lawyers, the gentleman of the legal fraternity numbering 66. From Ontario and Quebec there will be an equal num- ber orlawyers,viz, 29. Of farmers there are 24 among the popular representatives e,1,,gazetted, and of merchants 21. Man- nfacturers and physicians have 15 re- 'preseutatives each. The occupations of the rest are: -Agents, 4; bankers, 1; brokers, 2; contractors, 2; distillers, 1; druggists, 1; live stock exporters, 1; frnit growers, 1; journalists, 9; lumber merchants, 13; millers, 2; miners, 1; not+sries, 4; ranchmeu, 2; veterinary surgeons, 1; and nnclassed, 16. • For two weeks the public have been treated to very sensational articles in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa papers Bald ?

AT 216 OOn fob`wim .1t ood Hair regardiug an alleged conspiracy that w tr. entered into by a number of Conserve tives to defeat the Dominipn Govern meat at the last election. The names of three Cabinet ministers have been giveu and also railway magnate", as being parties to the scheme, and the statemeet made that a number of Quebec Liberals were to retire and allow the Conservative candidates to be elected by acclamation and thus stampede the Goverument. As a part of the alleged plot, Mr. Blaze's resignation was to take place. Tisk actually took place. The stateme s that have appeared in priut are of such a charuoter that the ministers and others iw,.licated should not allow them to pass without a thorough investigation either by a parliamentary committee or a com- mission, The answer to the manifesto of the Dominiou Alliance Executive promised by Premier Ross is being publisheded by him in pamphlet form for general dis- tribution. That manifesto the Premier describes as not only unfair, bat offen- sive, and he throws down the gage of battle. After reveiwiug the history of temperance progress, and the iutimate connection of the Liberals party there- with, he says that if the Executive of the Alliance had not singled him out for its animadversions, or the Liberal party for the purpose of destroying its useful- ness, he would have treated their mani- festo as legitimate criticism, but he thinks the members of that body cannot now complain if he repels their assaults. exposes their uufairuess, and calls uoou the electors of the Province "to sustain the polies, of the Liberal party against all hostile combinations, no matter by whom made or ander what auspices they are launched upon public attention."

All Druggists too Tuve Stock Markets. Toronto, Dec. 13 -The run at the city tattle marker to -nay was 88 cars, with 1.285 heed of cattle, 1,186 sheep and lambs, 1,800 hogs and 65 calves. While the run was not a particularly heavy one it was all right as to quality. There was some choice Christmas cattle in the market, and in some cases fancy prices were paid, and still fancier prices asked There were several choice heifers, for which $5 50 up to $6 was asked There were sales in several places of butcher heifers at $5. The general run of prices was higher. as the quality was an im- provement on recent markets. The sheep and lanib trade was particularly brisk, the supply not being equal to the demand. Lambs were quoted about 40c higher.
