cided that the Government having re-
pealed that section in reference to stud•
elite, my son 0otitd not go on the list.
Afterwards, however, he got new light,
and allowed students to go o1 ; and,
when he was asked : Why did you pre-

he said that there 1098 another ancient in

that any satisfaction to moor to my sari,
beaau.o the judge did not understand the

ouwbereome, that it is not well under,

which ie not in power. There is no hon.
gentleman opposite who will sit down
and talk quietly ,n regard to eh18 platter,
who will admit that ho would like to place
M the hands of his political opponent the
making of the lists on which lie is to be
elected. I 0111tllenge any non. gentleman
opposite to rise in his place and state
that he so uld desire to place such a
power in the hands of his political
opponent. It is easy to get the
names on these list., and, once they
are on there lists, it costs at least $2
each to get the nam88 off, and some-
times you cannot get evidence to satisfy
the judge. It is altogether unjust to the
parte in opposition, and, if I was on the
side of the Government to -day I would
-ay the same thing, I ask the House to
consider this question on its merits', and
to extend the right to Ontario to place
its young men on the list to whom it is
prepared to give manhood suffrage. In
regard to the Province of Quebec, I agree
that the views of those who have spoken
should be perfectly considered. They
state that they are not prepared to give
manhood suffrage to their young mon,
but they must remember that, in On-
tario, we are educated more highly than
the people of the Province of Quebec ;
.that wo opsnd $6 in Ontario for every $1
which Quebec spends on education, and
therefore we educate our young men in

that we are preparing our young men for

Despatches from Shanghai gie0 derails
of a wholesale execution of criminals re-
cently in Pekin. Phe condemned num-
bered fourteen and were carried to the
plaoe of execution in wagons. They were
dressed in red, their hands tied behind
them and a heavy chain was fastened
around their necks. They were indiffer-
ent as to their fate. At the plane of ex.
eention an Imperial Commissioner read
the decree of oondemnation. Nine of
the prieonero were to be beheaded and
five hanged. The former wore placed fn
front of the plane destined to receive
their bodies. Their fades were painted
red, their clothes were stripped from
them and each one was forced to dig a
grave for himself. The subsequent work
of the executioner was speedy, and in a
few moments the nine were beheaded
and the five strangled, The bodies of
the latter were stretohod on the ground,
and officer') pinned on each a large paper
giving the name and crime of the oon-
demnod. Later the bodies were expoeod
to be the prey of birds. An immense
orowd fioolted to Pekin to witness the
executions.

I have been using St. Leon water for
the past month or so and have found it
very candela in promoting good health,
After using it a week I found my appe-
tite much benefitted and eau now eat as
much in one meal as used to suffice me
for two. For any rheumatic affection I
believe it to be ahead of any drugs or
patent medioinoe, and think that per.
sone of a rheumatic tendency should use
it constantly.
