It is tT curious psychological study to
notice how political unsounclnesa grad-
ually snalerminee the character and be-
gets i'enerall untrustworthiness, The
Attie political lie, almost harmless
through its extrema transparency, in-
:renders a taste for prevarication and
deception, which grows upon the utter-
er et: alas Y :1= ,..eel, :?lass'without his
perceiving it, until, by more force of
development, he has bloomed forth into
a first e' 1-'s liar, who not only tells lies
);Manse they come most handy, and
snav serve his purpose at the moment,
but goes to work to deliberately invent
lies, and spread them abroad broadcast
on any or every subject, As with in-
dividuals so with newspapers. When
newspaper once swerves in its polit-
ical faith, and bogies to condemn what
t erstwhile commended, it is safe to
,erediet that the moral course of that
paper will be downward, and that from
traducing its late friends it will soon
descend to lying on general principles.
Two noticeable instances of this may
now be found in Toronto. Time was
when the :grail and Globe were reliable
.trustworthy newspapers which, al-
though differing in politics, could be
defended on to collect and publish the
news of the day correctly-. But, in an
evil hour for themselves, they abandon-
ed the political faiths in which they
srad respectively attained high posi-
tions, and became wedded to unsound
4rnliriral facts; and from that moment
their moral tone appears to have be-
come gradually Iowered, and their re-
liability as'iiew spapers seriously im-
paired, Thus, we have the Globe pub-
fishing an imaginary statement that a
•eeiprc'city proposal was being prepar-
ed in Washington by prominent Re-
publicans, svh n no such proposal was
ever eonturnpl tted; ai-d giving public-
ity to an alleged"confession" by Bir-
ehall, which that worthy promptly and
energetically denounced as a fraud.
Now, not to be outdone by its confrere,
e haye the Mail publishing a bogus
letter from an imaginary "Colonel,"
accusing himself of the murder of Ben -
well. It is sad to notice the rapid de -
,::cent from political untrustworthiness
to the downright manufacture and dis-
semination of bogus news, exhibited
by these two once great papers; and it
to be hoped that their terrible de-
scent to untruthfulness will act,' as a
warning to other newspapers to remain
steadfast in their political faith, what-
ever that may be and not run after
'new fads,
IN a prominent item of last week's
Issue the Times devotes a little space
to as. Ever since the ADVOCATE came
into the present proprietorship, from
Rine to time our contemporary has had
a few ugly things to say about us, and
we Iet them pass by unnoticed. We
nave done so for these reasons. Quarrel-
.Jng between newspapers in the same
town, even where there is political
rivalry, is always more or less personal,
and we claim that our subscribers do
pet want weekly personalities. We
'also belong to the same political party,
and therefore one great cause for
striking at our contemporary is taken
out of the way, and it is our duty, as
n'e1l as that of the Times, to treat each
other with the same friendly forbear-
ance that Conservative newspapers in
Ontario extend to one another. There
is room for two newspapers in Exeter
and their political agreement leases no
room for hebcloinadal tirades. This
bekrag our position and the reason for
v
letting so many attacks pass by un-
noticed, we shall now say to the notes
a few words. In the first place, regard-
ing the Pickard Estate, what we pitb-
lished rva:4 from information given by.
:'ter. Gibbous, who surely knew as
'mueh about the matter as Mr, White.
In the second place, we beg leave to
'tell our unfriendly critic that the
public look for literary excellence,
neither in tlm Tinu.,P nor ADVOCATE.
7"o be a readable chronicle of local news
is all that we aim for. But let this be

Wild Goose Shooting,
S1Te left Langdon for our goose hunt
ou Monday, Oct. 7th. After a few
hours of trayelling we reached the last
settlement situated about ten utiles
south-west of that town. Now to cross
40 miles of prairie. During the first
dozen miles no game was in sight
excepting flocks of geese migrating,
but on pushing further into the wildtir-
cess a few jack rabbits and an occas-
ional fox could be seen scampering of
on our approach, and as evening eadnle
on herds of deer and antelope became
frequent. One of the party had an
excellent field glass which enabled ne
more fully to observe and admire
their graceful form and- action.. Had
our hunters been in quest of venison
there is no doubt but that several fine
specimens could have been secured.
Just as darkness came on a ravenous
appetite told us that camping time was
at hand, we reached a deserted cabin
in which we found stove and fuel, also
a stable somewhat delapidated but
nevertheless very acceptableto• our
tired steeds. The tea was soon boiling
and the savory bacon ready for us and
needless to say very much enjoyed.
Then to bed on some bay ou the floor
and snoring in two minutes by the
watch. Breakfast at daylight and
only twelve more miles toSweet Water
Lake, one of the finest goose lakes in
America. Soon after leaving ottr
camping place we noticed thousands of
geese feeding ou all sides and we
waisted some time in fruit-
lessly trying to get a shot. An hour
later, with the lake in sight, with
geese everywhere roaming, screeching
and flapping as only millions of geese
congregated on a sheet of shallow
water 1 by 2 of a mile, Our shooting
started during the afternoon but not
until the next morning did the guns
heat up to anything like -full, working
temperature. Unfortunately your cor-
respondent did not keep the individual
scores but the aggregate bag after 7
days of shooting consisted of 953 geese,
6 jack rabbits and 5 chickens„ The
weather during the week was most
disagreeable and very much against
shooting, The return trip over the
prairie was uneventful. Excepting six
deer nothing was encountered and we
rca.che,d home very well pleased with
the hunt. The members of this mem-
orable trip were Messrs. Robt, Sanders,
Exeter, ' Ont., Hudson Matthews, • Elk -
wood, and Geo. McGregor, Maida, Dak
-Langdon Democrat.

DEAR Sir.–I have giyen the CHAM-

hesitation in pronouncing it the best
prepared food I have ever used. • Some
of my horses had an attack of INFLU-
ENZA and 1 fed then CHAMPION
FOOD with their ration of grain and
bran and never saw anything work a
change for the better so rapidly. It
seems to remove all impurities from
the system with which no animal can
be in a thriving condition. I have
also. some colts that have been troubled
with worms but after giving them a
coupleoffeeds of CHAMPION FOOD
they passed them in large quantities.
CHAMPIOT FOOD must soon come
into general use and I have been talk-
ing to several of our farmers and steel: -
men about it and shall be pleased to
promote the interests of your VALU-
