SIR ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, lieutenant
governor of Ontario, was strioken with
partial parelyeis a short time ago, and
now lies in a critical oondition at bis
home in Toronto. air Alexander was
for many years n cabinet minister and is
one of the surviving "Fathers of Confed-
eration." He was for years the business
partner and most trusted colleague of
Sir John Macdonald, and the indications
are that the dread malady to which the
late premier succumbed hes laid its hand
upon the lieutenant -governor. Though a
strong party man, Sir Alexander was al•
ways courteous and kind to everybody
with whom he came iu contact.
"PnoialBITIon is coming," so said a
hotel keeper of a neighboring town to a
member of Tno POST s,sff. Continuing
be remarked "Liquor drinking is going
out of fashion. It is seldom a quart or
gallon is sold for a bee, sale or wedding,
and the wholesale price is so high the
profit at the old retail figures is very
small. Not many years ago commercial
men and their customers used to patron.
ize the bar freely but now a large majority
of travellers don't drink and the treating
system is practically dead as compared
with the bygone days. hotel keeping
has lost its old time money making and
now only the best financing will see a
man through safely. Temperance senti.
ment is on the rise and likely to continue
to." The above was from one of the
shrewdest hotel men in Huron Co. and
has been proven true in his owe experi.
ante. It is an encouraging aokeowled g-
ment to temperance people but while so
there is a big work to be done before the
desired end is attained.
ARL the fools are evidently not dead
yet. The man who starved himself for
40 days had his innings ; the glutton who
eats 100 quail in 100 days has eaten and
died. The bridge jumper and the whirl -
