Ike Wltsseis V.osi,
FRIDAY, OOT: 22, 1886.
THE complete turn over in the
elections for the Local Legislature
in Quebec Province has been the
cause of a good deal of excitement.
Tho Ross government (Conservat-
ive) had a majority of some eight-
een in the past year but they were
routed to such an extent that the
Reformers will have a majority of
from five to ten. Instead of re-
signing office and allowing the
newly elected party to take their
places there is a strong desire ex-
pressed by the Ross party to hold
the reins until the House is called
to meet. The result in Quebec is
taken as a precursor of what will
come to pass in the Provincial and
Dominion elections, even by a
large number of Conservatives.
PROHIBITION is becoming the
watchword in Ontario and both
political parties are recognizing
the importance of the appeals of
the temperance party as they nev-
er did before. The sudden con-
version of the Mail, from a rank
anti -temperance organ to a warm
supporter of prohibition; has cre-
ated a great deal of discussion,
but whether it is genuine or not,
this fact is patent to all that the
prohibition question is a burning
one and is slowly but surely win-
ning its way and it is exercising a
power that is Compelling more
than one to come down from their
high position and listen attentive-
ly to what the temperance people
have to say. The formation of
Electoral Unions, whereby elect-
ors, regardless of party, will bind
themselves together to work for
such legislators, and consequent
legislation, as will accomplish the
philanthropic object they have be-
fore them, is a motive power the
like of which has not been known
for some time.
Walton.
It is expected that a meeting for
the purpose of talking up the Elect-
oral Union proposition will be held
in the Presbyterian church on Satur-
day evening of this week. Addresses
will be given by Rev. T. L. Wilkin -
sou, of Toronto, and others.
Mrs. Sage and her talented daugh-
ter, Miss Annie, aro away on au east-
ern tour. VVe noticed them in Bos-
ton, Mass., on the 16th ult., filling a
two week's engagement at Austin
Stone's museum. The management
speaks of them thus :—"These Musi-
cal phenomena are from Canada, and
perform all the latest popular melod-
les of the day upon the magical glass-
es. Talk of sweet music from the
piano, talk of the charming music of
the hell ringers, they can never equal
the enchanting harmonies produced
on the glasses by these gifted musi-
cal artistes." Their performances so
delighted the Bostonians that the fol-
lowing week they played in the thee,
ire to immense audiences and at each
appearance were rapturously encored.
There success there was indeed a
marked event to theatregoers. After
closing the week's engagement anoth-
er theatre manager secured these tal-
ented musicians for a two weeks en-
gagement and their success wee as
marked as before. It seldom falls to
the lot of musicians to charm city
audiences for such a lengthened per..
iod. We are also pleased to an.
n.nuop that P1.48 Anf.jc's liealt11 is
4ely Lunen improved uirougii the
beneficial effect of the sea air, as
their spare time was principally spent
at the Bea coast. It was on account
of her daughter's health that Mrs.
Sage made the trip more than any-
thing dee. The American people
never lot sash real musical talent Ito
hidden but at once gave them the
place of llouir which they so richly
deserve.

"The line has beeu surveyed through
right to the edge of the south branch
of the river. Its course lies along by
the ashery and through the centre of
the Northwestern Fair grounds. We
hope to be able to visit our friends in
Toronto by Now Year's, going via the

Rain set in on Thursday morn-
ing 14th with wind, and increased to
n heavy gale towards evening, and
about 5 o'clock a hurricane, blowing
down chimneys, etc., in town, but
the serious part was the collapse of
the large roller skating rink. It is
a total wreck. Fortunately a num-
ber of people who had been skating
had just left the building a few min.
utes before the wind lifted the rasa -
sive roof, when it came down with a
crash, smashing the walls completely
and destroying the whole concern. A
race for prizes was advertised on
skates for that night. Had it occurr-
ed during the race hundreds would
have been killed.

morning accompanied by M. O. Oam-

IIIISREPR]ESEN'TA TION I
Tax Poem of last week contained a state.
ment signed by Adam Good and his Fore-
man, Peter Ritohie, which demands a brief
notice from me.
In choosing material suitable for my
Trade and customers; I em guided entirely
by my own knowledge and experience.
The steady growth of -my business, and
the satisfaction my work has given to my
customers, generally, being ample evidence
of my business ability and honesty.
I keep in stock, and cut DAILY, all the
best brands of Leather known to the trade.
At the Pall Show here my display of
"French Leather" of the well known "Bal
and File" brand, purchased direot from
the Sole Agent for Canada for that brand—
John Hallam, of Toronto, was large and
well selected, and notwithstanding the faot
that it hung there conspicuous to everyone,
and to Adam Good among others, eepeoi-
ally, when he stood in front of my exhibit
and examined my Boots, he, animated by
a spiteful and jealous spirit, was mean
enough to circulate what ho know to be a
bass and malicious fabrication.
The way in which he managed to get a
"Red Ticket" tacked on to his own leather
was very cutely devised and parried out in
a manner peculiarly characteristic.
My Leather was in place before hie. Ho
new that in accordance with a rule of the
association it was not entered for competi-
tion, and waiting until the man in charge
of mine had left the building, lie went and
put a Number on it himself. Ho never
entered it with Mr. Stewart, the Secretary,
Knowing that his stood but a poor ohanco
of obtaining a First Prize he surreptit-
iously did his best to obtain one for his
Leather.
When the Judges same to it they ware
at a lose how to act, and sent for the Pres.
ident, who, after looking at the leather ar-
rived ab the oonslusion that it might have
been sant in by Mr. bbitt, and acting under
that impression they awarded it a price.
This is Mr. Ferguson's etatoment to me,
as any ono can aseerta121 for himself by ask-
ing him. He will also; tell any enquirer
what the opinion of the Judges was con-
cerning the excellence of my Leather Ex-
hibit as compared with the other. I fight
my business battles fairly. I malign no
man's work or material,
I endeavor to do in any ease my very
best for those who employ me. In the fu.
tura I will strive even morn so, to (ntool,
"Fxncicivinins'" is my molt) an I ever
will be. With

Of course it is unnecessary to say our Stock as usual is very complete
and of a first-class character, for which the Dominion House is Noted,
and our stock being Very Much Larger than any other store in Brus-
sels gives every Lady a much better selection to choose from, which in
Millinery is very important ; this combined with employing only
first-class hands is a sufficient guarantee that the very
NEWEST STYLES
may be obtained. Having no old stock left over from last Season en-
ables us to Show an Extra Display of New Goods. We have taken
great pains this season to secure every Novelty and we would invite
every Lady, whether they want to buy or not, to give us a Call.
Miss Green,, with her usual courteous and obliging manner, will be
only too happy to show our splendid stock to all who may wish to in-
spect it. We would also call attention to our Handsome Stock of
Mantle Cloths, which we Make Up to Order, thus ensuring no old
moth-eaten or old fashioned garments which is too often the case with
most stores who buy them ready-made. In conclusion we would just
say our Stock in every Department is very complete, and everything
having been bought before the big advance in goods took place we
will be able to supply our customers the whole season through at the
same Low Prices we have been selling at all along.
