Ws nr part will the Temperaoco quos-
OM play in the forthcoming ntuniaipel
and trustee elections ? We don't hold the
opinton that because a than is temperate
that this should ho itis cnly qualifloation
but surely a mem who known stow to gov-
ern hie appetite is mcro likely to transact
public business carefully and intelligently
than one whose brain is badly befuddled.
Now is a goad time to cast about and see
bow the land lies and be in a position to
move on nomination after due delibera-
tion.
Tin very large gathering at the recent
Provincial'=unday School Convention at
Kingston and the interest taken in it
shows that this very useful and influen-
tial institution is not losing ground bat
is on the aggressive and doingnoble work.
Wbile on this topic is it not e very pe-
culiar feature in Sabbath School work
that in connection with the thousands of
Sunday Schools in this land and the tens
of thousands of children attending them
that it is almost a rare thing to ever see
parents in attendance, unless they are
teachers or officers? This should not be
the ease and if it is so that they cannot
get regularly, for the interests of their
own children they should at least put in
an appearance three or four times a year.
A armor deal has been said of late about
the liberty of the press, the danger of
muzzling the press, &c., but the larger
share of this kind of talk amounts to
notbing but twaddle. The mission of
the press is tozuphold the right and sup-
press the wrong and in this particular we
are all interested but where the "free-
dom" asked for consists in besmirching
end belittling respectable people and like
the sleuth hound following an old trail
for half a century to "even up," it par-
takes more of the spirit that moves the
Socialists, Anarchists and such ilk than
anything else. There is such a thing as
kluklux clanisre in the journalistic arena,
where the pursuer stops short of nothing
to achieve his ends and in such cases
these individuals are no credit to the
Fourth Estate. The newspapers of to-
day, as a rule, have a wad moral tone
and when it is considered into whose
hands they come, the thousands of homes
they enter and the influence they exert
in wealding',the future we feel assured
we are right ip saying they should set
before the public a high standard of
what is right and true and noble and en-
deavor to foster a kindly feeling in a com-
munity and work for the general interests
of the town and locality in wbich they
are published instead of sowing diesen-
tion and strife.
Saran the cotton combination went to
pieces, a couple oilmonths ago, the price
of Canadian cotton has . fallen from
twenty-three to sixteen and three quarters
cents per pound, a decline of about
twenty-seven per cent., which is some-
what less than the rate of the protective
duty upon these goods. Tbe dieerence
in prices represents the ditference be-
tween prices determined by competition
and those fiend by combination. The
manufacturers say, of course, that the
competition is excessive. Of course it is,
but that, again, is the fault of protection,
which aimed at artificially and unwar-
rantably increasing the return from
money invested in cotton spinning, and
weaving. While the number of cotton
manufaoturies was small the object was
secured and cottonl mills earnings ad-
vanced suddenly from about twelve to
seventeen per Dent. to between fifty and a
hundred per Dent. Of@ course, cotton
mills went up all over the country very
rapidly and:those in existeneo were im-
mediately enlarged. Over -production en-
sued, the population did not grow as
rapidly as was promised under the stim-
ulating influence of the National Policy
and competition became "undue." Then
came a collopee of the cotton industry,
which threatened to bring tumbling down
about our ears the great imp^rting inter.
sets which had healthily and strongly
grown up under tree trade, Even the
strongest banks batmen somewhat alarm-
ed end lent their countenance to the
combination of cotton manufacturers,
Which was to regulate production and
maintain prices at a profitable figure.
The combination has failed and fallen to
pieces twine over. The condition of the
clotted Industry since shortly after the
inauguration of the National Policy has
been (Upiorable end has been a source of
weakness to this country. Under a rov-
enne tariff there was no more healthy
and vigorous induetry. There was tome
slaughtering by American mennfaeturers
but it injured the Ametioens themselves

Ladies for the large amount of patronage
accorded her last week during the clays
of our Millinery Opening. Every Lady
who paid us a visit pronounced it to be
without exception the finest display ever
seen in Brussels. Owing to the large
crowds diving our opening clays some
Ladies may seemingly not have received
proper attention, ifsowe owe them an
ample apology and hope with our beauti-
ful display, which will be continued the
whole month, to receive the orders from
those Ladies who have not yet made their
purchases.
Miss Gnlaz.:.r, our obliging and tasteful
Milliner, feels justly proud of the high
enconiums passed on her and for which
she begs to return every Lady her sincere
thanks.
