The young Liberals of Toronto have_ ar- . ranged to entertain Ontario's Premier, Hon. A. S. Hardy, at a complimentary banquet in Toronto, on the 15th of November. Lead- ing Liberals from all parts of the province will be invited, and the demonstration is likely to be one of the leading political events of the year. The Ptemier is descry- , jaig of all the honor that can be shown him by the Liberals of the province. There are a,12opo cyclists in Germany, each one of whom had to pay a tax of 50 cents to ha,ve his name entered and _to re- ceive a numher for his machine, together with a book, which he muat carry about him, as it contains a elescript on of 'his per- son. In Berlin, their wer about 60,000 . riders in 1897, and the roya police report - estimates the lumber this ear at 80,000, with about 30,000 more in the Ierge suburbs. If Canada were to impose a tax of this kind, the revenue lost through- the passage of a prohibitory liquor law Imight be more than made up. The Ottawa correspondent of the * Mail and Empire narrates that Hon. William Mistook, when distributing the medals at the Ottawa Model School, kissed the young- est prize winners, but drew th line at girls - who had aeen thirteen minim rs. Where- upon the Hamilton Times r marks : Sir Wilfrid Laurier will have to leek around far a new Postmaster -Genera . Mr. Mu- loolt'a penny -postage euchesses cannot ex- cuie or atone for midi exhi Won of bad taste, or neglect of golden pportunity. Harethe never read Byron's dee aration that giels of seventeen and under a e the least kissebIe of their sex, because they always smell of bread and butter ? Mr. Mulock is old enough to know that a woman never properly appreciates a kiss' until she is tivice seventeen yeare old, and if he wants to be- come really popular in the practice of Mr. Lanrier's specialty he won't back away from anything under the half century mark. • It is said that the bye -elections for the Dominion. will take piece about the middle of November, and they will all be held on the Berne day: There are three vacant seats , in this province, East Lambten, North Sim- coe and West Huron. In East La,mbton, both Reformers and Conservatives have se- lected their candidates ; in North Sin -I -Coe,. the Independents have selected Mr. Leigh- ton McCarthy, a nephew of the late Dalton McCarthy, as their OM idate. It is possi- 1 ble that he will be elec ed without opposi- tion, as the Liberals have decided not to bring out a man against him, and the Cone servatives have not made a move in that direction yet. In West Huron, neither the ;Conservatives nor the Reformers have as yet put a man in the field. Both Parties seem to be waiting for the other to take the initiative. . , The Conservatives have succeeded at last In drawing blood id, the election courts. Mr Aylesworth, the member elect for Len- nox, has admitted bribery by agents, and the election has been declared void, and the conatituency has been mit,de vacant by the election judges. Up to this the wheel of fort ne has been workin consid ,rably aga nst them, and this strea of good for - tun will give therh hope and encoirage-. me t. Thus far they have had hard lick in the 'courts. In South Ontario, gr. Calder, Coneervative, was unseated ; in North Wat- °doh, Mr. Lackner, Conservative, will most Iv ass eedly be unseated as the result of his tria , while in Kingston, Mr. Harty, Liber- al, as confirmed in his seat, and in East Lainbton equally good fortune awaits Mr. pet ypieee. It is time, therefore, that they iii; 4-vver getting' some crum of comfort, and Le 'sox is, evidently, that cram. i ----- The American -Spanish Peace Commission, iv'hich is now convened in Paris, France, ede s to be meeting with unexpected diffi- - cal lee. The object of this Commission is to amigo the term8 lei , peace between the United States and \ Spain. The Spanish Commissioners seem ta be less desiro a to .th - give than the American Commissioner are to take. The Spanish 'are a good deal Mbre difficult to deal with now than they vitould have been immediately-a.fter hostilitiee were stopped. They now begin ,to realize that the Anierican army was nearly in as had a plight as their,own, and they now I know that if they had not surrendered 'Cuba, the Americans Could not at that time have forced them to do so, awing to the stridits to which Shafter's army Was reduced by dis- ease and exposure, They oleo realize that the American forces are not able to 1 tand much of a campaign in the dizesse and ever infeeted countries such as Cuba, and I orto Rico. However, although the t ten perties appear to be far enough apart at per tent, there -is no doubt but Spain will ulthe tely be forced ta give in rend to accede to stich terme rut the Americans proporte. She ,ries.'v not do so very grecefully, but Phe will lave to do it. She is in no poeition to rcennie. hostilities, and even were she ea disposed, it. is not likely the other nations would permiti her to do so. She may as well, there ore,1 sabmit to the inevitable gracefully. The Ontario Government have made an- other good strike, similar to that made a year or tWo ago with the Mclean° Mining end Development Company. As is iwell known, spruce timber, which used to, be sonsidered valueless, has become valuable ati an article from which pulp fdr the manufax- ;; ture of paper is 'Tiede. There are immense .se) THE H.

They agree to employ trom t o to 'fo r hundred hands, . . d all their timb r must be .manufactured i . Omit& by„Can dian ork en. The in- t ntion of the eon pany is to s pply the cad ountry market ith pul a d paper, and t compete there with A. er'clan pulp and aper manufaetii ere. T us ill be estab- shed Another la e, profi able and valuable anadian indust i.w ih must prove a ource of wealth the ovince. There is n abundance of nemplo ed capital in the ld country, an the _0 tiario Government re doing good s rvice t t ncourage the in- estmentof a po tion of i in profitable in- ustries in this e untryt It is too freque tlythe c se that governors- eneral and lieu enant-g vernbre are more rnamental than useful. Ontario's Grand 1 Old Man, the ge tleman ho holds the posi- tion ec Lieutena t-Gove nor of Ontario, is not of this dais. He e ms to 'delight in making himself till us ful to hitt native province, which he has already So well erved, by ide tifying ithiself with' the people and thei interest . .In addition t� taking part in m ny pu lie and) patriotic demonstrations i some 6 the larger cities, Sir Oliver Mo et has recently aided in making several of the agr cultur shows in the rural districts ounces ful by is attend - 111 nee anchhis par icipatio in the .opening rodeeilings. 0 such occasions he has lway e ple ant nd ,encouraging. ord to say to th people, and e d es his b at to ake them think b tter• of their n tive pro ince and ite great r our es, than t ey eve did before.

Thia is what i needed on the part of a 1 our pulllic men. If Can - ad anehave any ne laok more pro nently evident than an ther, it is a lack. f patri- otism. and love nd pride of their ountry. Arid he who st ives to strength n these sentiments does ood and laudahle ork. . .1eThe Internet onal Commission, for the . -. settlement of atters in dispute etween the United Stet s and Canada, W ich hal- been holding sit ings in the city of Quebeb for several weeks, has adjourned o inset again in Washi gton, on the lat of Novdai- -t- ber, The repot s concerning the doings Of the Commission are so conflicting that -it is diffioult, if not impossible, to arrive at any' definite conclus n as to the progreaa which has been made. So far as is known to the outside world, luswever, the negotiations ha.vebeen carri d on' in a most friendly and amicable spirits and if there has been any serious diaagree ents the fact has not been made publiely k own. It would seem that at least a basis pf settlement has been ar- rived at veith- regard to all the questions except twO. These are the questions of re- 'ciprooity 'and the bonding privileges, the latter being, adinittedly, the most difficult the Commission has to deal with. In the meantime, it ha been refeered to a sub- committee of fo r, two Americans and two Canadians, to f rther eonsider it, and, if posaible, to hav a scheme ready to submit to the whole Co mission,' when it re -assem- bles at Washin ton. The Canadian mem- bers of commatee are Sir Richard Cart- wright and Sir ouis Davis, In so far as Canada is come 'lied, the atter could not have been intr sted to be ter hands. The . Arne leans are evidently, anxious fo a tree, y, but the are so hampered by hig ly prot cted and interested combinations of one iud and a other, that they seem afr id . to m ve, lest th y injure some supper ts speci I preserve If a treaty is not neg tie ated this - tirn ', Canadians may make jup IL their minds th •reciprocity between this country and th nited States is unettain- I able, during th resent -generation- at any rate. However lthongh a suitable treaty would, certainlef, be a boon to Canada, Can- adians are now ery much less dependent upon their Ame can neighbors than they were a few yea ago, and they are becom- ing more indep n ent of them every year. The 'Liberals South Ontario heve again selected their Id and honored standard- bearer, Hon. J n Dryden,t while sthe -Con- servatives of th riding have aleo sekoted Mr. Charles Ca er, their - late repre,senta- tive, who wa unseated 'hy the election . court. Thus t battle of 'last March will be fought over gain with variations.. :Both candidates and their friends are now:hard et ork in the donstituency, and it will be a hot fight, but th8 proapects are that' Mr. Dry,den will in. The Liberals of East Wellington, the seat occupied by the late Mr. John Craig, at heir convention on Monday last, tendered t e unanimous nomination to Hon. J. M. Gib on, Commissioner of -Crown Lands. The n mination was accepted by Mr.'Gibson, and the good people of East Wellington -now have it within their power to do their province\ -a valuable service by electing Mr. Gibson by a large majority. At the two predious elections in this riding they had a three cornered fight. Mr. Craig, the straight Liberal candidate, Mr. Park, a former Liberal and Patron candidate, and a straight Conger rative. At the coming elec- tion there is likely to be -a straight party fight, as Mr. Park has declared himself in favor of Mr. Gibson, and the Liberals thus being once more united, and the riding be- ing strongly Li eral, Mr. Gibson should be returned by a large majority. The writs for both South 0ntario and East Wellington have been issued, election day being fixed for the 27th of October. The Conservatives understand well the importance to them, from a party point of View, of defeating both Mr. Dryden and Mr. Gibson. They may, therefore, 'be expected to put up the strongest fight they are capable -of. If the Liberals win th se two constituencies, Mr. Whitney and iis • followers may make up their minds to r main in the cold shadea'ot opposition for t e next four years at all events. Should the Liberals lose both, or even one of the eats, it will be an equally serious matter f r them. It may be consid- ered, therefore, hat the fate of the parties in the Legislatu e depends, to a great ex- tent, on the result' of these elections, which take place on the 27th of this month. This being the case, they will be watched with very close intereet by the people generally. I 1 A greet outcry has been raised' by the Conservative prt[ss about wrong doirige on the part of the Canadian officials ent to the Yukon district, act Governrnen and inhospitabl these charges, ment officials ar locations that o -adininster taw and trans - business in t at far off region. As a sample of is said that t e Govern - gobbling up rioh mining ey will not transact the husinees for whi h the country pays them, lunless they re liberallY fed by theist who require t ei services, and that it is those who tip ost liberally, who are first and best ser d. Indeed, it is charged that the clerks in the pest office at Dawson will not give a p or miner a letter, or even look for one for him, unless he first receives a tip of twO or three dollars. What truth there may be in these charges, or whether there is. really any p oper foundation for them, it is impossible t say. Major Walsh, a most reputable gent amen, who was overnor of t e couptry, a d under whose charge the bl med official were, has, publis ed a stet°. m nt saying t t all such report " are false, a d that they a anate from intere ted parties, a dpersons te horn the officials ave refused t give *omega ons to which thev were net e titled. Ho ever, the Censer ative presii, il in or er to. ge a slap. at Mr. ifton, the mini ter in o rge of that e•untry, and through him a the Government have been only too anx one to give pu lioity to all such etories. o such an ex nt has this gone on, tha the Governme t have at length instruc d Governor Og 'vie, Major ,Viralah's slimes o ,and who is no located in Dawson, ta ho a most acarchin investiga- tion, with the iew of. ascertaini g if there is teally cause or the complain s that have been eo loudly ade. A coeple of the offi- cials have, als , been recalled, and others have been ap ointed : in thei stead. It would be well, however, for the ' public not to be t o bast in condemning the Yukou offieial . The are only human, like the rest of s, and they have a yery difficult task to perfor . • They are far from emit= upon t eir ow judgment, with ut in true - p quarte , and ave to act to a reat e tent tions`o advice from their aup riors ; they have to act in country which es become rapidly over p ulated, largely y the scum of the arth, a d the rogues an rOughe of creation, whil not a few of thos who are respectable ar disappointed we th seekers, and are only t anxious to bla some per- son else for th ' consequences o their own fo ly. Therm ere some of the -difficulties w kb have met the Yukon Officiels at every t rn, and It iaecarcely fair or riCht to assail them as they are being assailed by 801T18 of t e papers, and that, too, without any direct e idenoe of wrong doing. If they h' ve able under the circumstances. [ And i is iii made mistakes,. to err is, certainly, ex us - not at ill prohable that more can be charged againse them. However, the investigation which hes been authorized, • will likely let the -truth be known. The Plebiscite Vote. . *AST HURON'.

WEDDED.—On Thursday forenoon of lest week, at II o'clock, a very happy event was celebrated in Carmel Presbyterian -church. We refer to the marriage of Mr. Robert Eacrett, second mon of Christopher 'Eaerett, Esq., of Victoria Park farm, Hay, to Miss Margaret Ingram, seventh daughter of the late Alexander Ingram, of the same town- ship. The cerenfony was performed by the Rev. J. S. Henderson, "and Miss Ifardy, of Exeter, played the wedding march. The spacious church was well filled. . The -bride was very handsomely attired in white silk, trinnned with lane and pearls, and carried bouquet of roses. The bridesmaid wee Miss Minnie Es,crett, sister of the groom, who- Was richly attired and carrieda bouquet of roses, while little bliss Eacrett . was the pretty little maid of honor. The groom Wan supported by Mr. William Gilchrist, of this village. After the marriage ceremony was ended and the happy couple had been Warm- ly congratulated by their many friends pres- ent, they drove out to the home 1of the bride's mother, accompanied by some SO invited guests, where a sumptuous repast awaited them. After all had partaken _ heartily of the good things prepared an4 spent a few hours socially together, the bridal party drove to the depot here, where they took the evening e ress for London and Brantford, followed showers of rice and good wishes for their future happiness. The bride was made the recipient of alarce number of valuable and useful presents, testifying to the respect in which she was held. The happy couple will move into the handsome new brick dwelling which Mr, Eiscrett has now in course of erection AS soon as it is completed and while joining with their many friends and well-wiehers we will welcome them to our enterprising village in the near future. , Exeter.

THE OWN TANK. --In ace irLiallea with instructions from the lasurance Underwrit- ers' Association, the council are hexing Au immense cietern or reservoir construeted in the street, alongside of Samuel's block, and convenient to Main street. This tank, when full, will hold enough water to quern& any. ordinary fire that may take place itt the business part of the town or contignons to it. With this reeervoir, the river, and the other "available water supply, and the steam fire engine, Exeter will have a very com- plete and .efficient fire protection system, and at a comparatively small east, and which will pay the citizens good interest for the investment, not alone in the spaying in , Insurance rates, but in the feeling of secur- ity which complete and efficient fire pro- tection system affords. In fact the whole cost might be Snore than saved at one fire. In a town where there are se many hand- some and eostly buildings as in Exeter, it would be a short-sighted policy indeed to neglect to provide proper fire.protection, or fire extinguishing facilities. TEACHER'S UST/TIMM—A number of the teachers in this locality met, in the pnblis school building here on Saturday, lat met., for the purpose of making arrangements for the organization of a local teachers' insti- tute. There was a fair attendance, and ea present seemed to be thoroughlY alive to the importance and the benefits to be de- rived from such- an organization. The fol- lowing officers were- elected: Mr. W. H. Johnston chairman; Mr. P. Gardiner, isee- retary ; kiss Ball and Messrs. Creech and Russell, executive committee: Miss Gill and Ateliers. Anderson, Lockart and Del- gaty were appointed a committee for draft- ing a constitution, ma for bringing in reso- lutions. The following programme was submitted : Infinitives and participles, by Mr. Russell writing, by Mies Robertson; Chautauqua literary and scientific circle, by Mr. Johnston; school law, by Mr. Ander- son. Discussion followed each subject, and the teachers spent a very ple,asant and profitable afternoon. It was resolved that the next meeting of the -convention be held on the first Saturday .1n December, " when it is expected a moat interesting programme -will be provided, and it hi hoped that ell the teachers in this district will make it 11 point to be in attendance. They can not spend a few hours of their holiday more profitably and pleasantly in any other way.
