Nominations for the new Assembly will take place on. Tuesday, Feb. 22, and the polling will take place one week later, on Tuesday4VIarch 1. Thus we vvill have a campaign of only a month. We will have a campaign short, sharp, and, let us hope, decisive in favor of a new administration. In every township and section of a town- • ship, organization should be perfected to bring out the full vote, and to educate the people up to a full sense of their responsibility. Let not the work be done by a few, as in some sections has been the case in past elections. The good effect is wonderful When everybody leads a hand to lighten the work imposed upon the candidate, and the chairman of subdivisions. With a short campaign there is no excuse for inaction. One thing to be kept constantly in mintlby Conservatives all over the pro- Ylnee- is that it only needs a turnover of about a hundredvotes in each a twenty ridings to oust the 'Hardy Government and place the Conservatives in power. The merely nominal majorities by which supporters of Sir Oliver Mowat were elected in a number a ridings can now be changed to minorities. x The public accounts of Ontario eau - not be relied on foe strict accuracy. Mr. JamesNoxon,the prison inspector, stated before the conunittee last Wed- nesday that the accounts were "fixecl;" he also stated at the same time that certain of last year's outlays have not yet been entered, but are held °yea to appear in the statement for the present year. The "cooking of accounts" is a, special ty'arrived at by Liberal states- men atter long years of training. x x Six years after Confederation On- tario bad by virtue a Sandfield. Mac- donald's wise management of public affairs, a surplus of $4,395,000. To -clay there is a larger debt thin the surplus ofa quarter of a century ago, and this, too, in the face of a revenue much larger than in Sandfield Macdonald's time. This as a result of government by the Liberals the province has lost fully $10,000,000 The surplus squan- dered must be added to the debt in - cured and between the two the ten million mark is reached. Unquestion- ably it's timefor a change. THE LANGELIER RACE...ET. The quarrel in the Liberal camp is nuatone of principles. It is purely a family lapket over the division of the 'spoils. The complaint filed by Lan- gelier and Picaud isnot based so much on the fact that Tarte, Dobell and the rest of the clique are renegade Tories, or because they are representatives of objectionable political principles, as be- cause they have had too much to do with the distribution of the spoils, and that they have distributed them un- i—naarly. If the school question is re- opened it Will only be because it can be used as a lever to force Sir Wilfrid into recognizing and satisfying. the demands of the kickers. The most ob jectionable disclosure that has yet come to the surface is that Mx. Lan - getter has occupied a seat in the House of 00111MOES during the past two ses- sions while he had in his possession a written promise of an appointment to • the lieutenant -governorship of the Province cif Quebec. This is direct violation of the principle of the in- dependence of Parliamee a Sir Wil- frid may justify the axiom that to the victors belong the spoils, brit he will have some difficulty in squaring his violation of a well-recognized principle of parliamentary usage. Mr. Hardy's capitulation to Mr. Whitney on the log question serves to show that of the two leaders Mr. 'Whitney is the stronger. The case is well illustrated by the reply of Tierney to Canning in the early daY,s of the century. Canning had satirically referred to his opponents as "His Ma- jesty's Opposition." Thereupon Tier- ney said :—"My right honourable friend could not have invented a bet- ter phrase to designate us than that which he has adopted, for we are cer- tainly, to all intents and purposes, a branch of his Majesty's Government. Its proceedings for some time past have proved that, though the gentle- men opposite are in office, we are in power. The reeasures are ours, but all the emoluments are theirs." Mr. Hardy is in office, but Mr. Whitney rules. Possibly Mr. Hardy, paraphrasing the poet, will say that he cares not who rules so long as be holds the Premier- ship. WHAT MOWAT CONTENDED In his campaigns, Sir Oliver Mowat contended fora Government atTorcrnto independent of Ottawa. If the Liberals are in power at Ottawa,said Sir Oliver Mowat by implication, the Conserva- tives should hold the reins of the Gov- ernment of Ontario. This prevents log -rolling and the Sacrifice of the in- terests of the Province. In a speech delivered at Toronto Sir Oliver Mowat -•• • Thepccasion is one in which Conser- vatives and Reformers should all unite in order that there may be here in On- tario a Go v ernrim en t ind ependen t of the Government at Ottawa. Conserva- tives may prefer,I know a great many of them the Sir John :McDonald and his policy, I arn sorry they do. If they had more light I am sure they would not, and a great many Conseryatives are discovering that and are acting ac- eirdingly, bet, even those Conserva- tives who believe in the policy of Sir John McDonald and prefer the present Dominion, Government to any other, may still unite in this crisis in support bag an independent Government here, because there are great matters with vviiich we have to deal tnat absolutely require foe Ontario's interests, that the Provincial Government should be en- • tirely independent of the Government at Ottawa. Isiow there aro a variety of casee by which we might illustrate the manner in which the Dominion Government have dealt with the Pro- vinces, and show the absolute necess- ity in the interests of this Province that there should be an independent Government, here under no obligations to Sir John A. McDonald, and who have a policy entirely provincial in regard to the territory and Provincial Oita. Vited 'Kibler, of Zurich, has been ap- pointed retorting officer for South tflarti THE THE ISSUE DEFINED. EXETEB. TIMES It bas beeii stilted that the Conser- vative party have noreasons forasking a °Image in Government. Besides the piggery outrage, following are a few clauses which may define the issue:— (1) The manufacture of nickle in Canada, giving the Canadians the work, wages and profits which go, under the regulations of the present government, to the people of the United States. (2) The manufacture of pulp and paper, from Canadian spruce, in Can- ada. (3) The condemnation of the govern- ment for having played into the hands of the Michigan saw mill men, to the heayy loss ot work, wages and profits, by Canadian workmen and nffil. own- ers. (4)he reform of the school laws, • rearrangement of the curriculum, and • the abolition of all monopolies in school books. (5) The Ontario gold and other mines for Canadians, and the condem- nation of the, government for havin locked up 64,000 acres of the best gol territory in the province, for the benefit of partisan heelers. (0) The cancelling of the agreement to give an alien company the grand power at Niagara Falls for 09 years for a song. (7) The enforcement of the factory act. (8) A franchise act that can be un- derstood. (9) Abolition of labor saving machin- ery in prisons. (10) The abolition of the two -acre "farm land" exemptions. (11) A law governing the liquor busi- ness that shall be endorsed by all sen- sible people. (12) A secret ballot. (13) A new system of proviociai bookkeeping. • (14) A genuine surplus. .1.11••••••••••••••••••.••••, .A.1.....•••••••.••••••. Campaign Notes • Twenty-six years is too long for any political party to remain in office. Col. F. B. Lees, has been nominate by the Liberals, of London, as their candidate. The secret of England's great suc- cess and growth is that they- change their political rulers almost every fiye years. . Mr. Hardy expects that every official in the einploy of the Government will do his duty by working for the Lib- eral candidates. There is no such thing an as offensive partisan. In conyersation with a Liberal,who has kavelled all over Southern On- tario, he states the prospects for the return of the Hardy Govermnent are rather doubtful, and if returned would be by very small majority. Buckle on your armor. It is your fight as well as ours. This is a sol- diers battle, and victory only will come to those who look well to the prelimin- aries. Be sure you vote and see that your good neighbor does likewise. x Scarcely a day passes but some means of contrivance is devised by which friends of the Hardy Govern- ment are afforded an avenue of secur- ing booty. The latest scbenie is the Municipal Treasurer's book. Each Municipality is compelled to buy one, although it is conceded the book is of no use to township, village or town treasurers. It is really a useless ex- pense, costing nearly $4. This sum in total for all the municipalites in On- tario will return a good revenue to some political friend in need. A Watford paper says- this about time book :— "The new municipal treasurer's hook issued by the Provincial Government is a formidable looking volume whose appearance alone is calculated to strike terror to the heart of the averagetreas- urer whose knowledge of book keep- ing has been obtamed in the rural school. The hook is a cumbersome af- fair, too largcm to enter any ordinary safe, but in the connty the custodians of township funds can obtain cold storage for the precious volume in their barns. The system of book-keep- ing may be simple for an expert an - country, but in the hands pf not a few of the officials for whose use it is designed it is apt to result in more bungling and confusion than under the old system whose defects it is sup- posed to remedy. That this was ex- pected is shown by the numerous ap- plications now being made by charter- ed accountants to give a course of in- struction to municipal treasurers. Possibly in time a training school for treasurers may be established with a staff of specialists to enlighten those who have not graduated from a com- mercial college or served a term in a chartered henk.”-• DIAMOND DYES ARE THE ONLY SAFE AND PURE DYE -STUFFS Our legislators have enacted string- ent, laws fot the prevention of food adrateratioinand as a result our people have been benefitted, arid all classes of our population get value for their iti oney. It would be a boon to the women of Canada if the adulteration act applied to package dyes sold for home dyeing. Dyestuffs are now used in tens of thousands of homes, and too frequent- ly valuable goods and matey:Ws Are spoiled by use of adulterated dyee that should he prohibited by law. The Diadmond Dyes for long years have given the most complete satisfec- tion. They are the only reliable, pure and fast dyes now before the public -- the only package dyes that can stand the most, erucial chemical tests, Ditomiond Dyes are sold byr all up-to- date druggists and dealers. • If you meet a dealer who recommends some ether make tif dye, pause before you buy from him. Such a dealer Is wOrk- ing only for big profits ; he has no re- gard for your success- and comfort, Thebest intereste,of the Province are not served by having the same party in power at both Ottawa and Toronto. --Sir Meer Mowat. Huron County Council. JANUARY SESSION. The County Council of Huron met in Godericli on Tnesday of last week. All the members were present. The following candidates were nom- inated for the office of ViTartlen B S Cook, of Howiek ; Dr. Rollins, Exeter, and Geo MeEwen Hensall Mr. Cook withdrew, and on a ballot beiog taken, Mr, McEwen secured 9 votes, and D. Rotlins 7. Mr. McEwen was declared elected. The newly -elected Warden thanked the council for the honor that had beeu done him. It had come to him in the way of a surptase, but neverthe- less be felt grateful to the council for having elected him to the position, and would endeavor to conscientiously discharge the duties of tlae office. The following striking committee was elected :-- Mesvs Cook, Holt, Miller, Torrance and McLean. Council then adjourned until Wed- nesday, at 10 a. Communications were read from the county of Lanark, respecting amend- ments to the High Sthool Act, of 1896, and from the County of Bruce, asking co-operation in petitioning the Legis- lature to amend. the Comity Councils net of 1890.

One person out of every 200 is in an asylum for the insane in New York State, and medical men say the in- crease of insanity is alarming. The very artificial, restless style of life pur- sued by our neighbors is responsible. for not little of this insanity. 0. C. Hodgins is being well received in North Middlesex, and his election over Mr. Taylor is being conceded by even his oppouents. Mr. Hoclgins is a clever young MAD, and having a large municipal experience, will make a capital representative in the Legis- lature. A meeting of tbe Executive Com- mittee of the Liberal Association of South Perth was held at, the Royal hotel on Tuesday last. Among those present was Mr. Moscrip, the Liberal candidate. The question of his remain- ing. in the field was discussed, and owing to the strong feeling against his candidature on the part of many, and, in order to take advantage of any Patron move that may be made in the meantime, it was decided to call an- other convention, which will meet in Mitchell on Wednesday, Feb. 2nd. In a recent speech delivered by Dr. Willoughby, be went ou to say, 120 High schools, which were attended by 24,662 pupils, and the errant made to them amounted to $1007000. or nearly $5 per pupil. There were 5,660 Public schools in the province, with an atten- dance of 111,778 pupils, receiviug a grant of $298,414, or about 50 or 60 cents eaeh pupil. It was clear that the Public schools did not receive that consideration to which they were en- titled. - F. Jordan'Godericb, Dr. McInnis, Seaforth, and Henry Plumstead, Clin- ton, were elected to their respective Collegiate Institute boards. . Messrs. Baird, of Stanley, and A. J.

The Opposition, supported by the figures contained in the public an counts, had criticised on the platform Mr. Dryden's manegement of the Guelph farm. Those criticisms they were prepared to repeat,and would re- peat, on the floor of the }loose. They did not hold that the college was an institution that could be made to pay, but they did maintain tbat the farm proper ought to be conducted on a pro- fitable basis. Unless this were done how emild they teach the young men in attendance At the college how to Make farming pay when they came to enter upon the pursuit, of agriculture themselves ? The farm proper contain- hable eost of an AMU of the Avec un ts ed 450 acres of the best bandit Ontario. I of this county for three years by the The expenditnre upon it in 1894 amounted to $20,087,while the receipts were only $7,776, showing a deficit o $28,204. In 1895 the expenditure was 837,508, and the receipts $11,700,leaving a deficiency of $25,80(). In 1890 the ex- pendittre reAehed $35,507nvhile the re- ceipts were $0,630, showing a loss of $2o,900, Thus in three years there had been a loss to the country, under Mr. Dryden's management of the farm, of $80,000, (Opposition applause). If the farm could not be conducted in a more profitable manner it should be discon- tinued. The speaker believed that un-. der proper managemen t better pectin i- ary reselts could be obtained.

A Pedlar Sent to Prison for Represent- ing an Imitation Pill ta be the Same as Dr. WilliamsPink Pills—A Far Reaching Decision. - MONTREAL, Jan. 24, 1898.—A case of more than ordinary interest to the public came before Judge Lafontaine here to -day, the facts are as follows: For some time past one H. E. Migner has been going about peddling a pill which he represented a.s being the same as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co. placedthe mat- ter in the hands of Detective Haynes, of the Canadian secret, service, who soon had collected sufficient evidence to warrant the arrest of ltfigner on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences, Meantime Migner had left Montreal, going to. St. N. B. On his arrival in that city he was at once placed under .arrest and an official sent to bring hien back here. Re was brought before Judge Lefontaine this ' can be overcome in almost all cases by the use of Scott's Emulsion of Cod -Liver 011 and the Hypophos- phites of Lime and Soda. While it Is a scientific fact that cod-liver oil is the most digestible oil in ex- istence, in SO017PS EMULSION it is not only palatable, but it is already digested and made ready for immediate absorption by the syStetat It la also combined with the hypophosphites.which supply a food not only for • 46,0 t he tissues of the body, btst 1, 'it; for the bones and nerves, and will build up the child when its ordinary food does not supply proper • nourishment.

It was pointed out that his offence was a grave one and left him liable to a lengthy term of, itn- prisonment. The counsel for the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. stated that his clients did not wish to press for severe ' punishment at this tine: they only - wished to establish the factthat re- presenting an imitation pill to be the same as Dr. Williams' Pills Pills was it crime which left the perpetrator liable to a lengthy imprisonment. On one charge the judge then imposed a sentence of ten days,with the option i of a fine of $10, and n the other case a sentence of two days in jail without the option of a fine. The decision is, likely to have afar - reaching effect, as it seems to establish the principle _that substituters and those who sell imitations representing them to be "the same as” Dr. -Wil- Heine-Pink Pills, are liable under the criminal code, which is in force all over the Dominion, and it will no doubt, to a considerable extent,put an end to this nefarious business, as it is evident from the fact that the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. went to the expense of bringing this man back from so great a distance as St. John, that they intend sparing no expense to protect both the public and them- selves in such bases. DROPSY AND AND HEART DISEASE. A great cure and a great testimony. "'For ten years 1 suffered greatly from Heart Disease, Fluttering of the Heart and Smothering Spells, made my life a torment.

The benefit derived from an adver tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it. To reach the greatest number of readers at the least possible expense, is a question that should be ccnsidered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in !Tor- onto or London, and distributed ie t,his seetion, would be just as effective as if the bill had been printed in town. There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to teach the people in their homes, newspaper advertising id the I only successful way. • To get the best ' results use the paper with, the largest circelation, .arad thegreatest =omit of local news. CirculatiOn is the proper basis -upon which prices should hefted.
