GOOD RESULTS. How is it that one can neither coax icor drive Reform Lapels to telt their readers about the revenue and expen- diture of the Dominion Government these days? The answer to the quest- ion is very simple: if the facts were unfavorable they would be paraded at great length; As they are unfavor- able, Reformers have nothing to say• They seem to be sorry when the count ret is prosperous, and try to conceal the facts, In the first throe months of the current fiscal year, the revenue of the Dominion was $9, 314,436, against $8,515,533 in the corresponding three months of last year—an increase of $493,953. At the same time the ex penditure fell from $5,833,885 to $5,- 753,2)46. The surplus for the three months last year was $2,981,64S: that for the three months this year is $3, 560,540. Thus we have all the evid- ence of prosperity—increased revenue, reduced expenditure, and adherence to the lowered taxes. The Conservat- ive government has demonstrated its ability to govern well. The Censer vativci policy -has been vindicated by -- good results. '1 he burdens imposed upon the people are lighter than when the Reformers were in power. BetPERIALTRADE RELATIO2'S. The subject of Imperial Federation is coming steadily to the front. Its importance to the colonies is practical, because of the growing increase of trade between the Motherland and the outlying portions of the Empire. To us in Canada the question is not mere. Ly one of loyalty to the throne, but one of self-interest—now that the bulk of our exports goes to Britain, instead of. as formerly to the United States. This matter has been lately ventilated by a significant letter, addressed to the Tor- onto Empire by Col. Howard Vincent, M.P., and also in an able speech deliv- ered the other day in Sheffield, Eng., by Mr, Alex. McNeil!, M.P. foe North Bruce. We have the important an nouncement made by Col, Vincent, ta• ken from the Blue books presented to Imperial Parliament, that no less a sum than $500,000,000 worth—chiefly of food products and raw material -- found its way from various parts of the United Kingdom last year; while they took in return the enormous sum ' of $480,000,000 in manufactured goods Will any one doubt a 'ter such an ex: hibit that the policy of preferential trade between the Motherland and her Colonies is a necessity of the hour? All the more so when, as brought out by the parliamentary returns, there has been an increase of t:ade within- ten years of nearly ten per cent! Not only that—but the sante official returns show what amotultsto a jug handled policy, so far as the free trade system of Britain is concerned, that from fore- ign countries $325,000,000 worth , of manrnfactutcclbnods were admitted n - to the United Kingdom free of duty; thus competing unfairly with British artisans on their own soil and adverse ly to native manufactures. No won. der, as Col, Vincent tersely puts it, that when "men whose labor is their capita see en the factory gates the 'notice "Works Closed—gone 4o America, and ate vainly seeking the means to earn ,ehea p �- bread For suffering wives and hungry children, they can hardly be enthusiastic in advocating free trade!" Il is officially estimated that during this present year there will be a faring off of two hundred million dollars in 73ritish exports, ae compared with 1890 The reason for this is not far to seek. , ci i tT the 1°1usi 5i+1 it 11i'Cly . iler'reeelei1 C,`l'ei1'i by forolgn nationsof a higher wall :of taiiil's, will aceo ht tea large dogree. for the decrease inEnglish linedittfaet• wee and the corresIponding i crease of a, u. p#� au erisin 111 the :British Wee: Sich',w state •of things will be aggravated doubtless by the faet already • rnade public that the United State Congress have eo cleided twelve reciprocity treaties with other countries, under the McKinley tariff, according to which ee many more markets will be secured to American products over. British goods —and this at a remission of duty of es least 25 per cent. It is high time, when—as Mr. McNeill observes in his Shieflield speech --"Canadian loyalty is being subjected to a terrible strain",•- and when, as Col. Vincent observes "the United States are moving towards the headship of the Anglo Saxon race," andentering into advantageous treat les of reciprocal trade with the West Indies and other countries,—it is high time, we repeat, that England should turn to her Colonies and enter into a system of closer trade relations with the outlying portions of the Empire Tuokersmith.

Saturday last Arth- ur, son of Mr. Jainc,s Johns, Varna, met with a very painful accident, It seems that he and Mr. Weird were drawing chicory, and when going into the field, turned too short, and to save himself Arthur jumped to the ground, break• ing bis leg above theknee. On Monday morning, last week, Mr- Thomas Shaddock, of McGillivray, met with a serious and what proved to be very nearly a fatal accident. Mr. Shaddock was delving a spirited: span of young horses, which became fright- ened at a fanning mill upon which the driver was seated: the team ran away throwing Mr. Shaddock on his head to the ground. Consciousness did not re• turn for over 27 hours. Surgical aid was at once summoned. We are pleas- ed to add that under the treatment of Dr. Ovens Mr. Shaddock is recovering and is now out of donger. Numerous incendiary fires have oc- curtgd within the past year at Listo, del. Suspicion rested on one A. Mac- kenzie, and on the advice of seyeeel parties Constable Woods placed him under arrest, but shortly after he was giyen bis liberty, haying presented satisfactory evidence as to his where- abouts at the time of the fire. He then turned round and sued Wood's for $1,000 for false arrest. The case was. heard at the assize court sitting in Stratford last week, where a yerdict of $25 damages, with costs on the county court scale, was rendered A Fearful Death. Orilla, Oct. 17.—A most distressing accident happened here this afternoon whereby Mr. Thomas D. Meese, one of Orillia's most popular citizens, lost his life. Mr. Meese is florist for the North- ern and North-western railway. He resides at. Couchiching Point, where he had large greenhouses. Shortly after dinner he told his wife he would fix up his pumps for frosty weather. He went to the well, which is within a few' yarn's of the hoesse,, and taking off the covering he•fndeaS-ored to ping out of 'one of the pumps, The well is about 20 feet deep, about three feet in diem etee and there was about 15 feet of water in it. The plug was threefeetbe- lov: the ground, and in trying to pull it out it snapped offehort and Mr. Meese was percipitated head first into the well. There are two pumps running into the. narrow shaft and consequently the un fortunate man was unable to turn nor could he raise himself out of the water. His wife saw him fall and ran to the well, where she could see ►.is feet a few inches below the water. He was strug- gling hard and as she could not reach him she ran to the nearest neighbor's, a quarter of a mile distant. It must have been fifteen minutes before as- sistance came, and when the body was secured a few minutes later it was about 10 feet under the surface. There was a slight bruise on the forehead and the hands were lacerated in try- ing to raise himself out of the, well. Deceased was 40 :years of age and leaves a family of six small children, the youngest being but two moi,tlid old. He was a promineut society man, being •a member of the A.O,U.W., the Royal Arcantim and of the Masonic order, Biddulph.

Dep. Sheriff Wheeler. Does Not Care to Live If He Cannot Have HooD,s Sarsaparilla It would be difficult to find a man better known in the vicinity of Burling- ton, Vt., than Mr. R. D. Wheeler of Winooski Falls, the efficient Deputy Sheriff of Burlington county. He says : "C. I: Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: "Dear Sirs : If Hood's Sarsaparilla cost , $iO.00 a Bottle I should still keep using it, as I have for the past ten years. With me the question whether life is worth as to e living depends upon whether I can get Hood's Sarsaparilla. I don't think I could live without it now, certainly I' should not wish to, and suffer as I used to. For ever ten years I suffered the horrors -of the damned with Sciatic, Rheumatism for if ever a man suffers with anything in this world it is with that awful die- ease. It seems to me as if all other physical suffering were compressed into that one. I took about everything man ever tried for it but never got a dollar's worth of help until I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla 1 have taken it now pretty regularly for ten years and have no more pain and canet around all right.
