NOTES AND COMMENTS.
It is not the Seeate that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier will first have to "mend or
end," for it is fast coming to be a ques-
tion of his mending the veays or of the
country's ending the days of the Gov-
ernment of Canada.

turning officer in West Huron,give his

When he is not execrating the Eng-

The Stratford Beacon tauntecl Mr.
Erb with his failure to explain why he
voted against the Yukon railway bar -
Whereupon Mr. Erb wrote a
modest, manly and withal able letter
from Ottawa explaining simply that he
voted. against the bargain because in
his judgment there -was no emergency
justifying adeparture fromthe Liberal
principle of awarding public contracts
by public competition. The idea that
a, Perth county farmer should have a
judgment as compared to the judg-
ment of his leaders, tickles the Beacon
• half to death. In his utterly worthless
judgment SouthPerthis a constituency
of free men. According to the decree
of the Beacon South Perth is merely a
eubber stamp, and Mr. Erb's whole
duty, is to be a wooden handle which
Hon. Clifford. Sifton can grasp when
he wishes to use South Perth in the
• process of iegisteringhis bad bargains.

effect of cutting off in the neighbor-

cut off from five to eight licenses.
A sad accident ha,ppeeed near Chat-
ham Centre on Tuesday, by which
William Miller, aged 18, son of Wal-
ter Miller, of con. 5, lost his life. He, in
company with his brother George, was
chopping down a tree, when a branch
broke off, and falling, struck him on
the side of the head. He only lived
about fifteen minutes. The family con-
sisted of five brothers besides himself.
They have the sincere sympathy of the
entire neighborhood.
A very sad accident happened to

ing glasses? Many theories have been
advanced to account for it. Specialists
oculists, physicians, keen observers in
all walks of life are joh tly of the
opinion, that it is due to one cause
mainly, viz, our modern system of
education. Tbat system is carried on
to a great extent by blackboards.
Public attention was lirst called to this
subjectin Plailadelphia someyears ago.
Blackboards were usually made of
'rented, glistening boards that reflect-
ed light at right angles, and children
sitting in a certain part of the room
could not see writing or figures on the
blackboards at all. It was observed
that children sitting on back seats were
Wore often affected in sight than those
on front seats. Slate blackboards
were then introduced to remedy the
evil. They have now been in else fore
years in American cities, but • the
trouble continues to be nearly as pro-
nounced as before. The attention of
the Education Department in Toro -
oto was called to the trouble, and the
department advised slate boards. But
slate boards are not a remedy for the
evil. Children have to strain the eyes
so much to. catch small • figures
or letters at so great a distance, that
eventually the eye muscles become
overstrained, and lose the power of
contracting. After that occurs, clear
sight beyond a very few feet is lost,
probably forever.' If noticed and re-
mediectin time, complete rest to the
eye n4ay restore the normal functions
of the overstrssined muscles. Children
do not notice the increasing inability
to see, and attention is generally call-
ed. to it by the teacher having to move
the child from a back to a front row of
• seats. Ver Y ofteu at this stage the
power of good vision is forever lost.
It is becoming a question of which is
to g9, school bleckboards or children s
eyesight. It should. not be hard to de-
cide which is the most value. The
Question is becoming serious. Teach-
ers, trustees, pareets and guardians
shouedearefully consider the subject
and if Observation juitifies the conten-
tion that blackboards are a serious
menace to the eyesight of the school
generation, then decided steps should
be taken at once to abate the evil.
Free discussion of this subject will do
much good.

If the destiny of Canada ever was in

in its power to settle the doubts in
favor of the United States. It, was Otte
of the advocates of continentalism, it
was anti -Canadian, and the venomous
tool of a, policy which sought to destroy
the national hopes and faiths of Cana, -
diens. It stood with Edward Ferrer
and other adventurers whee they tried
to raise enough .pro -American senti-
ment to fin the sails of the armexta
tionist fleet. Conservatives stood up
for Canada in those days as they do at
this time, and because the opposition
in the House of Commons and the
majority of theSenate refuse to allow
the 'Yukon gold fields to be turned
into the priyate eetate of Williero

actions are styled as disloyal, short-

The Drummond deal with the Grand
Teinik attachment, will cost us $210,000
a year, and the expense of operating
the road will be $550,000 more. This is
W760,000 altogether annually for this
Intercolonial extension. The receipts
of the Intercolonial average $2,503 per
mile for the year, and this where there
is no competition. On the regular In-
tercolonial basis the new piece of road
-170 miles -will earn $405,000 annual-
ly, so that the country will be just
$359,000 out by the deal.
Discussing the Yukon deal, the
Weekly Sun, edited by Prof. Groldwin
Smith,says:-"We have no doubt that
the commercial advantages to Can-
ada of the proposed railroad have
been greatly exaggerated. If so much
trade depends npon its construction,
it will be built without the Govern-
ment requiring to tie up any territory
or give the company a monopoly.
The Claim thet, it was an "all -Chen
adian" route was soon shown to be
incorrect,. American restrictions, if
any, at 'Wrangel were not likely to be
less onerous than at any other point
on the coast With an advantage of
from twenty to fifty 'per cent. afforded
them by customs duties, Canadian
manufacturers eyen though tbrae or
four thousencl! miles twat are net
likely to suffer."

I do not approve of newspapee lighting

But as no other name but mine appears

in behalf of the base ball boys, and in
doing so it is necessary for mo to re-
fer back to last year in order to show
op the way the ball players tell Inc
they were used by the lacrosse team.
On 2nd of last April certain members
of the lacrosse team waited on the
council and asked for a grant to help
pay for tbe use of recreation grounds,
on which to play lacrosse and other
games. It was moved:by Chas. Snell
ancl seconded by A. .T, Rollins and
carried, that ten dollars be granted
towards renting recreation grounds,
with the understanding that all games
should share tend share, alike. The

order was drawn out in favor of the

wAy DowN FoR. cAsH
was notified by the council not to pay
over said money =less the lacrosse
club would give the baseball teub a
fair show, which I am told tbe lacroise
boys agreed. to do, but afterwards re-
fused. After a good deal of commot-
ion between the two clubs I am told
oertain members et the head of the.
lacrosse club promised the baseball
club, if they would rent another piece
of land on which to play ball, which
was to cost five dollars, they (the la-
crosse club) would pay two dollars
and fifty cents out of the town grant
towards it. The base ball boys acting
in good faith, rentedthe grounds, and
paid for them outof their own pockets,
and when they presented their bill the
lacrosse boys refused to pay it on the
ground, I am told,• that an of their
club did. not sanction it. A few weeks
ago the lacrosse team called a meeting
and organized, and placed me in office,
as their Hon. President. During their
meeting they resolved to secure the
recreation grounds for their own use,
and a certain member stated when
they got the ground the baseball
team could go to h-eand get their
grounds to . plass on this year. The
baseball teem thinking Exeter a warm
enough climate during the sueurner
months to play ball in, decided they
would rent the recreation grounds
themselves,and accordingly struck out
early in the morning and secured the
grounds to the great dismay of the
lacrosse boys; and when the lacroste
boys found out they were caught in
their own game they tried to beat the
besebalI boys oat of the greuncls by
offering $5 more, but it did not work.
Then certain members; "Fair Play"
being one of them, went around the
town calling the baseball boys all kinds
of vile names because they had done
• such a dirty trick as to rent the best
grounds in town without giving the
• lacrosse club the first chance. After
inspecting different other grounds in
town and finding none that suited
them, they decided on trying if they
could not come to some amicable ar-
rangements with the baseball boys,
and accordingly sent a deputation who
waited on the baseball boys and asked
if they would meet a committee of the
lacrosse boys, which was agreed. upon,
and accordingly a meeting was called
for the following eyening to be held in
the town hall. In opening the meet-
ing I explained to them the very
awkward position I was plated in,
being Hon. President of the one team
and Manager of the other, especially
when there was an old dispute between
them, and I explained to them that I
was determined to do whit was right
towards both clubs. • I also stated that
it had been the desire of the baseball
boys to retain the full privileges of the
grounds for their own use but I had.
persuaded them under the circum-
stances to give the lacrosse boys a fair
show providing they would pay the
$2.50 which they owed. Hadthey not
been willing to do so, I could not act
as their- manager, bolding the office
I did in the lacrossaclub. After a good
deal of discussion from both sides of
tbe house, the manager of the lacrosse
club offered to leave the 'emitter in dis-
pute to one member of each club who
were to wait on the coencil and ascer-
tain whether or not the ball players
were entitled to the $2.50 or not, and
if thee were he would guarantee the
payment of the same. I then asked
if the grant had been given for re-
creation grounds, and each club was to
share and share alike, would he pay
the $2.50, when embe of theta said oo,
and others shook their heads not to
agree to anything of thelind, some of
them contendieg that this year's club
were not responsible for last year's
debts, but till tbev sign themselves
"Fair Play." I then told them elis-
tinctly that no leather leueiness could
be transacted until the $2,50 was. paid,
atter which the lacrosse team left the
meeting, apparentlyin disgust. Now,
Mt. Editor, I would juA say, in con -
elusion, if the lacrosse boys, vvisbed to
deal with the baseball boys they could
have done so on a square basis, but, as
some of them told me next day, they
wafted the grounds four days every
week, ana were only willing to pay
half the cost. If they are willing to
square themselves with the ball boys
do not think they would have any
trouble in securing the grounds three
eights a week, but if they are bot, no

that are pure, bright and warranted
