if NOTES AND COMMENTS.
"Gossip i9 the weapon of the coward,"
Maya Hon, Mr. Emmerson, and he has a
right to know. Bat the malicious
gossip is worse than a coward. It is
possible to have some sympathy for the
onward, who may be merely the viottm
of some physicial defect; but the man
who deliberately sets to work under
cover of darkness to destroy another
man's reputation is worse than a foot-
pad —Woodstock Sentinel -Review.
Running a newspaper is just like run-
ning a hotel only different When a
man goes into a hotel and finds some•
thing oa the table which does not suit
him he does net raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to change the way
of running his old hotel. Well hardly.
He sets that dish to one side and wades
into tee many dishes that suit h° at. It
is different with some newspaper read
ere. They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly and with-
out stopping to thiuk it may please h n-
dreds of other readers, make a grand
stand play and telt the editor how a
,paper should be rnu and what should be
put into it. Bat such people are becom-
ing fewer every year.
It may be assumed with perfec safety
that if the political battles of the near
future are to be fought on the issues of
the private characters of our public men
one side will hove no advantage over
the other iu ammunition or artillery
fire, and if it comes to a parade of skele-
tons, now locked in dark closets; we
think it quite probable that the gentle-
men to the left of the Speaker, with
their active lieutenants elsewhere, will
contribute quite as imposing au array
as the opposing patty. We may have a
campaign in which the ghouls will have
the position of honor in attack and de-
fence; while stinkpots and Greek fire
will replace the conventional politi-
cal w, apons. In any each contest we
know one newspaper, known on o0
rasion to take a somewhat active part in
politics, which will be strictly out cf it.

. The Hon. Joseph Wesley St. John,
Speaker of the Legislative Assembly
since the advent of the present Govern-
ment, died at the Toronto General Hos-
pital at 12 o'clock noon on Sunday, after
an illness of two weeks. Deceased was
admitted to the hospital on Sunday,
March 24, and at 11 o'clock that night
was operated upon for acute appendicitis.
He made a satisfactory recovery from
the operation, so much so that towards
the end of the first week the attending
physicians considered him out of danger.
On Sunday, March 31, a chronic malady,
diabetes, from which he was also suffer-
ing, suddenly took an acute form. From
that time on his life was despared of.
Mr. St. John was a prominent member
of the Methodist church. It had been
arranged that he should preach Epworth
League anniversary sermons in Wing
ham on the last Sunday of this month.
An increase of $2,000 per year in the
salaries of the Ontario Cabinet Ministers
was one of the features of the supple-
mentary estimates brought down in the
Ontario Legislature on Wednesday of
last week. This means that, including
indemnity of $1,000, the Premier will re-
ceive $10,000 and each of the Ministers
$7,000 per year. It is said that some of
the members thought an increase of $1,-
000 would be sufficient at,d we can agree
with them, We believe that members
of any Government should be well paid
in order that the very beet men may be
put it charge of the different depart -
menta, but $1,000 of an increase is suf.

thousands of people every spring. It

a blood medicine—they make pure, rich,

fieient at the present time. In view of
the increase of $2,000 in the salaries of
members of the Ontario Cabinet, it is of
interest to note that tbo Premier of the
Province of Quebeo receives an annual
stipend of $5,000, Cabinet Minieters $4,-
000, and the Speaker of the Hons $2,000.
A decrease of $14,466,136 in the net
public debt of Oanada, an increase of
$5.798,896 in the ordinary revenue, and
an increase of only $152,359 in the ordin-
ary expenditure and of $1,392,712 in the
total expenditure are the ontetanding
features of special financial statement of
the Dominion for the fiscal period ended
March 31st. The rcord of the nine
months which constitute the last fiscal
year, in respect to the financial better.
meat of the country, is in every respect
the moat gratifying ever issued by the
Finance Department. Since Confedera-
tion there have been only five years in
which the year's statement has been able
to show a decrease in the net public debt.
Three of these years have been ander
the present Government, and the total
reduction of the four years was $13,968,-
365, or less than the reduction achieved
in past nine months. The totat net debt
at the end of last month was $262,576,-
841, a reduction during the month of
$2,565,113. The total revenue in regard
to consolidated fund account for the
nine months was $65,814,457, and the
expenditure $31,858,739. The increase
in revenue for Mtlreh, as compared with
the same month of last year, was $572,-

for the year $10,385,690, as compared
with $7,146,337 for the corresponding

THE AGRICULTURAL HORSE.
(Toronto World.)
An enquirer from York County wants
to know if there is such a thing as the
agricultural horse. He contends that
there is no such class.
There has been considerable confusion
among many persons and farmers also
over this classification. There is no such
classification on the live stook records,
and no exact data of a distinct class that
I can be described and raised like, for in-
stance, the Clydesdale or the Hackney.
Many fair boards have a class for en-
tries known as the agricultural horse.
! Ao a general rule, the description of the
`animal accompanies the entry form in
the prize lista of the fair. It is general-
ly understood that Canadian draught
horses in use on our Canadian farms for
general farming work are the ones to be
drawn upon. In other words, this ani-
mal is equivalent to the general purpose
animal, which is spoken of more Collo-
qu^ally than officially
A very warm discussion took place On
this question at the Agricultural CoUege
last summer at a gathering of farmers.
It was readily seen there that there was
considerable divergence of opinion
among leading horse judges as to what
conetitnted a general purpose animal.
A great many people draw a distinction
between general purpose and agrienl-
tural. At any rate, there ie no official
agricultural horse. In the minds of
farmers generally it consiate of s horde
goat for all farm work, not to heavy,
active and strong The horse would
weigh between 1200 and 1450 lbs.
As for the breeding of snob horses.
any farmer would have to use his own
judgment. A draught breeding with a
cross of blood in them would likely be
the nearest to the object desired.
The late Dr. Oronhyatekha left en
estate of $59,549,54 probate for whose
will was issued Monday upon the appli-
cation of the Union Trust Oompauy,

Rev, Dr. Nelson, pastor of Knox
Church, Hamilton, was poisoned Satur-
day morning through taking some tab-
lets which he had purohaeed from a
druggist for a cold, and for a short time
was in a critical condition.
Mr. Alexander Laird, general manager
of the Bank of Commerce, who has been
ill at his home, for some days, has been
ordered by his physicians to take a three
months' rest. He will likely go to
Europe in a couple or weeks.
Hon. Rodolphe Lemeiux in his capa-
city as Minister of Labor was in a posi-
tion to make the gratifying annouuoemen
on Monday that the new labor disputes
bill, which he so recently was successful
in piloting throngh Parhament,had prac-
tically had the effects of terminating the
strike of 1,700 men, who had gone out at
Springhill, N. S.
rave Stook Markets.
Toronto, April 9th,—The ran at the
City Cattle Market to -day was 68 loads,
1,005 head of cattle, 229 sheep and lambs,
800 hogs, and 284 calves.
It was not a heavy run, and the mar-
ket held at good prices all round,
though it is still assorted that prices are
higher in the country than are going in
the city market Whether this he so or
not, it is certain that buyers here are
paying from $4 GO up to $5 for choicest
matcher cattle, and occasionally picked
steers or heiters fetch a little more.
Trade was fair, though not very fast,
some of the butchers holding off as long
as possible from the big prioes asked for
anything like good butcher cattle. There
is a fair market for choice, well finished
export cattle at $5 to $5 25, and anything
extra choice fetches from 100 to 20o high-
er. The market for stockers is becom-
ing more active. The hog market is
SUITS! SUITS. SUITS!

too long to go into detail. But
THE SUIT THAT SUITS
is the one made by MAXWELL & HILL.
There is also a difference in Tailor-made Suits and
TAILOR - MADE SUITS. Every suit on the market is in a
sense tailor-made, but the phrase is sometimes misleading. The
only truly tailor.made suit is the one made by the individual,
made by' hand and fashioned into shape, instead of being rushed
through what we call a "sweatshop," from one machine to an-
other, without any real tailoring being done on it; and the
material inside is not intended to keep the garment in shape
any longer tnan to sell it.

est anyone who is wanting an up -to date Suit.

styles, although we do not advocate extremes in style, but leave

SCIENTIFIC PALMISTRY
A Study of a Lifetime. No Fortune Tell-
ing but Legitimate Science.
PROF. O'BRI EN
Canada's GREATEST PHRENOGIST
and the only recognized SCIENTIFIC
PALMIST.
from Toronto, whose methods were ap-
proved of by Judge and Jury at the To,
ronto General Session, March 14, 1904, only
Lecturer on Scientific Palmistry in Oanada.
Is now in Wingham for a short t only.
AT HOTEL BRIMS W19,1 .
By the request of several of hisitronenact<eir friends
he is now making a tour through0anada, and the success
he has achieved in every town htt{{enre'ver been equalled by
anyone in the profession, Prof O'Brien is recognized by
the press, medical faculties and scientists generally as the
foremost Phrenologist and Scientific Palmist of modern
times, and should not be classed with those traysning
cheap pretenders who bring disgrace on these sciences
and mislead the publio.
Hundreds of skeptics have been converted by him.
Prof. O'Brien is an enthusiastic investigator. a careful
student and a conscientious business man. His patrons
rank among them Premiers. Judges. Members of Parliament, Lawyers, Doo -
tors, Clergymen, Bankers, Editors, Phrenologists, Merchants, Meohanics, etc
and their families.
In Phrenology is' at the Head of His Profession.
In Palmistry he has No Equal.
Prof. O'Brien gives instruction in a practical way, which is worth more
than money to every young man who desires to secure the highest type of
manhood, physical capacity, mental and moral culture. Those contemplat-
ing change of business should not mise consulting Prof. O'Brien. Nothing
Against rhe Law undertaken.
Your PAST, PRESENT and INDICATIONS of FUTURE event as mark-
ed in your halide by Nature correctly delineated. MARRIAGE ADAPTA-
TIONS EXPLAINED.
Palmistry is mentioned 1433 times in the Bible and was practiced 2455
years B. C. The most careless observer must perceive that the hands differ
to their shape and lines—for there are no two hands alike—the fingers, palms,
lines, eto., differ as greatly in different people as the noses, eyes, hair, ears,
lips and teeth differ; as the will, manner, step and gait differ; so the change
tars differ also. By the outcome of their characteristics, their natural
oharaot'riitics, their characters are formed. A call on Prof. O'Brien will
prove to the moot skeptical that Palmistry is a pure science and has no con-
nection with the vulgar fortune telling.
Don't miss consulting him, as it may be years before you will have the
chance of consulting such an eminent man in his profession. An examination
from him now wilt be worth thousands of dollars in after years to any young
man or woman. If von are a skeptic, COME as Prof. O'Brien will enlighten
von free of charge on the science of Palmistry, and explain to yon WHY and
HOW he cue read your hand. Call and see the autographs of all eminent
people examined by him. Terms within reach of all.
