OUR THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR.
The Windham T1niEs was established
in January, 1872, and with this issue the
pap r enters its thirty-fourth year, and
at ! • time in its history has the Trees
enj Ted a better patronage nor a larger
subs ription list. The present proprietor
has 1. ten connected with the TIMES for
sevet,reen years, the last seven and a
halt s oars as proprietor. We wish to
heateely thank our many friends and pat -
roue for their very liberal support in the
past and hope we may by honest dealing,
and the giving of a good local paper,
continue to merit the confidence and
support of the people of Wingham and
its surroundings. Some time ago we
announced that a slightly increased rate
for advertising would go into effect at
the first of this year. Our new rates
will be found on another page. The in-
crease is made to be in keeping with the
increased cost of paper, type and every-
thing that goes to make up a newspaper.
The old rates were in force for many
years and were adopted when the Trains
had several huudred fewer subscribers
than it has to day. The new rates are
not yet as high as those charged by
other papers not as good as the TL'IEs.
We feel sore that onr advertisers will
see the necessity of the increase and we
will in future try and give the very best
of satisfaction to our patrons. Hereaf-
ter accounts will be rendered every three
months -1st of January, April, July
and October. We wish all our friends
and patrons a very happy and prosper-
ous New Year.
NO JOINT MEETINGS.
The following letter was sent by Mr.
Cameron, the Liberal candidate in West
Duron, to Mr. Dudley Holmes, the Con-
servative candidate. As no reply was
received by Mr. Cameron, he is arrang-
ing for his own meetings: -
Goderich, Ont., Dec. 13th, 1904
MX DEAR HOLMES -
1 am willing, if you are, that we should
Have during the approaching campaign
in West Huron, joint meetings, to be
addressed by ourselves, each one having
the right to reply on alternate evenings,
the one having the right of reply to open
the meeting. I would suggest that eaoh
take an hour, and the party who has the
right of reply fifteen minutes. I think
this arrangement might be modified so
far as the towns of Wingham and Goder-
ich are concerned, as you might like the
right of reply in Wingham and I would
in Goderich.
I will agree, if you are willing, that
we have no outside speakers, except per-
haps, the leaders of the party.
I most sincerely trust, and no donbt
you do also, that the campaigu be free
from personalities and free from any
wrongful acts and free from any inter-
ference by outsiders. It shall be my
earnest endeavor to bring about the re-
sult, so that when the fight is over -no
matter who wine -we may be as strong
personal friends as we have ever been,
Yours sincerely,
M. G. CAMERON.
Dudloy Holmes, Esq.,
Wingham, Ont.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
M. G, Cameron will carry West Huron
if the Liberals do their duty on January
26th.
Support the Ross Government by
votiug for M, G. Camerou in Weft
Huron and Arch Hislop in East Huron.
The Liberals of Wingham are request-
ed to attend the meeting in the corn
mittee room in the Maodonald hlock
this (Thursday) evening.
A reply to Mr. Whitney's boast that
he has been invited to join a ooalitiou
Government for Ontario is given by
Premier Ross in an interview, in which
be denies having made any snob offer or
authorizing anyoue to make it for him,
and declares his intention of fighting
the political battle on the Liberal re-
cord. as compared with that of his op-
ponents.
Our cry is Progressive Ontario. There
shall be no sleepiug at our posts; there
will be no negligence in the watch tower
when Provinoial rights are being assail-
ed; there shall be no faltering to grapple
with whatever problem arises, whether
it be the development of our industries
or the problem of moral reform. This
Government cannot fail in view of the
intelligence of the people of the country
The cry of corruption, when properly
presented, recoils upon the heads of our
adversaries. We defy them to assail us
as a Government, either in our political
integrity or the fitness of our adminis-
tration, -Hon. Geo. W. Ross, at the Ross
Club Banquet in Torouto last week.
E. N. Lewis, the Oonservative who
was elected in West Huron for the Dom•
inion Parliament, is said to be disquali-
fied. If ho takes his seat he will be
liable to a peualty of $200 every day that
he occupies it. In 1903 Thomas Gundry
entered into a contract with the post -
office department for the carriage of
mails. His guarantees are E. N. Lewi,
and A. M. Pelley. Mr. Lewis is still n
party to this contract. Under section 10
of chapter 11, of the revised statutes of
Canada, which is the independence of
Parliament act, Mr. Lewis is disquali-
fied from sitting as a member of the
Dominion Parliament under the penalty
already mentioned.
A liquor case before Police Magistrate
Daly of Napanee on Friday has caused
great interest, as it was proved that on
the night of December 22nd Mr. J. P.
Whitney, ex- M P.P., received liquor
from the bar of the Paisley House with-
in prohibited hours, also that several
prominent Conservatives of Belleville
were unlawfully drinking in the bar.
The charge was against Manley Qgnger,
proprietor of the Paisley House, and the
night on which improper selling took
plane was December 22nd, when the
Conservative leader, E. Gus Porter M.P.,
and other prominent Conservatives spoke
at a public meeting. After the close
of the meeting several speakers and a
number of their supporters adjourned to
the Paisley bar regardless of the restric-
tions of law and order.
Conservative journals complain that
the delinquencies on their side of which
Mr. Ross speaks were committed long
ago. The Manitoba frauds were oonr-
mitted eight years ago. The West Elgin
frauds are nearly as old, but while West
Elgin is still the favorite word of op-
probrium to hurl at the Liberal party,
our Conservative contemporaries never
knew or have forgotten all about the
most daring conspiracy to steal oonstit•
nenciee ever disclosed in the courts of
this country. The Winnipeg Telegram
gave the other day a list of crimes against
the reliability of the ballot committed
within recent times, and, although the
city in which it is published was affected
by the Conservative conspiracy of 1899,
that unparalleled case was not iu its list
at all. Can Liberals give their op-
ponents credit for sincerity when they
see that it makes a difference to the
Conservative journal whose ox is gored?

THE
An Astute Blind Man.
A blind man possessed $500, WI.
fearing that somebody might steal it,
he burled his treasure in a corner of
his garden, A neighbor saw Lim at his
work and in the night stole his mouey.
The blind man ou discovering his loss
and suspecting his neighbor went to
him and said: "My infirmity renders
nie diffident, and few are the persons
whom I can trust. You are one of
those few, and I have conte to tell you
a secret and to ask your advice. I am
the possessor of $1,000 in gold. I have
hidden half of it in a place which I
believe to be secure. Do you think I
would do well to put the other half in
the same place?" "Yes, by all means,"
replied ills neighbor. "Were I in your
place I would do the same. There is no
kuowlug what may happen if you keep
your money in your house." Having
given his advice, the thief, hoping to
get the rest of the blind man's money,
hastened to replace the half he had
stolen, and thus the astute blind man
recovered his property.
A Fall and a Lesson.
An English gentleman traveling
some years ago in Ireland took a ham-
mer and tacks along with him because
he found dog's eared carpets at all the
inns where he rested. At one of these
inns he tacked down the carpet, which,
as usual, was loose near the door, and
soon afterward rang the bell for his
dinner. While the carpet was loose
the door could not be opened without
a hard push, so when the waiter came
up he just unlatched the door; then,
going back a couple of yards, he rush-
ed against it, as his habit was, with
a sudden spring to force it open. But
the wrinkles of the carpet were no
longer there to stop it, and, not meet-
ing with the expected reslstance, the
waiter fell full length into the room.
It had never entered his head that so
much trouble might he saved by means
of a hammer and a dozen or even half
a dozen tacks until his fall taught him
that makeshift is a very unprofitable
sort of shift.
A Costly Jest.
It was a jest pure and simple that
brought about the war between Eng-
land and France in 1087 and ultimately
cost the great William his life. Wil-
liam, of course, was "great" in more
senses than one. So stout was he in
fact by reason of his idle and luxurious
life that he could not walk from place
to place, but had to be carried. One
day his contemporary, Philip of
France, delicately remarked at dinner
that William was "like a fillet of beef
on casters and ought to be exhibited at
a prize monarch show." Naturally Wil-
liam heard of this and in a furious
rage ordered his troops to invade at
once. This was done, and n war com-
menced which ended in the English
king being thrown from his horse and
killed while superintending the siege
of Nantes,
Adaptable Woman.
It is always a mystery how we
•• change our figures, our faces and our
gait with every change of fashion, but
there is no denying the fact that wo-
men do seem to accommodate them-
selves to Madame la Mode in this way.
One year they will be of the drooping,
languid, Rossettlan type; another, they
will be completely Georgian in face
and style, and then, hey, presto, fash-
ion waves her wand and every one is
magically transformed into a sturdy,
square shouldered, across country look-
ing person, with a face to match and a
corresponding air.
How Whittier Raised Sonie Money.
An interesting story is told of the
poet Whittier showing his ingenuity
in getting subscriptions for a good
cause. There were a number of car-
riage makers in Amesbury, where he
resided, and, being once unable to col-
lect cash in consequence of the pre-
vailing commercial depression, be sug-
gested that each might contribute
some part of a carriage -one the
wheels, another the body, etc. Thus
all the parts of a complete carriage
were given, and it was sold for the
amount required.
Breaking It Gently.
"You were a long time in the far
corner of the conservatory last even-
ing," suggested the mother. "What
was going on?"
"Do you remember the occasion on
which you became engaged to papa?"
inquired the daughter, by way of re-
ply
"Of courseI do."
"Then it ought not to be necessary
for you to ask any questions,"
Thus gently the news was broken
that they were to have a son-in-law.
Not Running on Tick.
"You seem to be very quiet all of a
sudden," said the clock key.
"Yes, I'm all run down," replied the
clock. "Time is money, they say, so I
guess I must be bankrupt."
"That being the case," replied the
key, "191 appoint myself receiver and
protYeed to wind up your affairs."
Easily Pleaued Then.
Nell -So their engagement is off?
Belle -Yes. She says he was too bard
to please. Nell - That's funny. He
must have changed since be proposed
to her. -Exchange.
Confidential,
"Do you love me?" said the paper
bag to the sugar.
"I'm just wrapped up in you," replied
the sugar.
"You sweet thing!" murmured the
paper bag.

Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Jan. 3. -In point of 'activity
there was a marked Improvement in
trade in the cattle section of the city
Yards this morning, and there was also
a little change for the better in the
general quality of the arrivals. Prices
remained stationary for all lines. Re-
ceipts were 66 loads. comprising 1,100
cattle, 575 sheep and lambs, 200 hogs and
11 calves.
Butchers' cattle -Local dealers have at
last disposed of their surplus product,
left over from Christmas week, and there
was a goodly number of buyers on the
market to -day purchasing additional sup-
plies. Prices were steady all arou nd
the top figures quoted being $4.40 per
cwt., which was paid by Mr. Rowntree
for a nice load of heif ere;
Exporters -A very blank dellIdnd o'Ia.r-
acterized the market for etupprug cattle,
and firm prices prevailed. The enquiry
for this class of cattle at the city yards
is gradually assuming old-time propor-
tious, and a rehabilitated trade in this
class is predicted by dealers. For some
time past mostof the exporters have
been going elsewhere, but the tendency
now seems to have tarned iu this direc-
tion again, and a largely increased ex-
port business from the city yards is ex-
pected from this time forward, despite
the keen competition offered by the rival
market at the Junction.
