a timely rase of Ayer'c Hair Vigor,
14 This preparation has no equal as a
dressing. it keeps the scalp clean, cool,
and healthy, and preserves the color,
fullness, and beauty of the hair.
"I was rapidly becoming bald and
gray ; but after using two or three
bottles of Ayer's Hair Vigor my hair
grew thick and glossy and the original
color was restored." -Melvin Aldrich,
Canaan Centre, N. H.
" Some time ago I lost all my hair in
consequence of measles. After due
waiting, no new growth appeared. I
then used Ayer's Hair Vigor and my
hair grew
Thick and Strong.
It has apparently come to stay. The
Vigor is evidently a great aid to nature."
-J. B. Williams, Floresville, Texas.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
the past four or five years and find it a
most satisfactory dressing for the hair.
It is all I could desire, being harmless

I'DII'VUTAL 1VOTES.
There are those who trade upon a
name to which they have no right-
ful claim. Time so-called Reform
party of Canada trades npou a name
it has no right to. Ever since Con-
federation the Reform party has
been gradually degenerating into
Gritisnt, which is 'Toryism intensi-
fied. All public improvements,
from the building of the Cavadian
Picnic Riy furwdr.s they held
were needless and impossible, Yet
all that have been undertaken have
been completed and proved profit-
able to the country. 'These Tory -
Grits harp about taxing the
"necessaries of life". As fast as
the revenue of the country permitted,
the Government has taken the taxes
off the u'eeRssriiea of life. Again
the fossilized Grits opposed this as-
they
sthey have opposed all reform and
progress. The Grits cannot lunger
deceive even their friends into be-
lieving that they are in favor of
Reform, and the Conservatives stand
out in bold relief as the genuine
Reformers, The Grit political
quacks are running on the
same lined as some medicine
quacks. Take for instance that re-
putable article which we have
known for decades--Ayer's Sarsa-
parilla. See how many imitators
are trading on the name "Sar-
saparilla" that have nothing in coin
mon with the original article. The
Grits advertise themselves as Re-
formers, but they have nothing in
common with the reform of George
Brown and the original Reformers.
The United Empire Trade League
has been taken hold of by leading
men in Britain and Canada and
other colonies, irrespective of party.
The Lord helps those who help
themselves. The British empire
'has within it a variety of produc-
tions and wants that will justify
them in uniting and trading among
themselves with as little restriction
as exists among the various States
of the Union, and with advantage
to all. Surely if 60 millions of
Americans can defy the world in
trade matters, 400 millions of
Britishers can hold their own if
they will only adopt a discriminat-
ing trade policy in favor of them-
selves. That the United States can
not live without the balance of the
world goes without saying. Its ex-
ports of merchandize last year
amounted to $884,425,405, over one-
half of which went to Britain. Its
loading exports were cotton $590,-
708,898 ; wheat, corn, flour and
other breadatutli $129,688,092 ;
cattle, pork and other provisions
$138,176,638. Two thirds of these
exports went to Britain. With a
discriminating policy on the part of
Britain she could get from her colon-
ies what she now imports from the
United States. And Englishmen
are waking up to this fact ; waking
up to the fact that instead of spend.
ing their money in farm lands and
cattle ranches, breweries etc., in the
United States, who are their deadly
enemies in trade matters, they could
invest it more profitably in other
parts of the empire which do not
practically prohibit the importation
of English goods as do the United
States. With British discrimination
against the productions of other
countries and in favor hro pr•o•
.,duals of the colonies, the empire can.
he made self-sustaining. And the
United Empire Trade League is a
,move in that direction. It is not
the political Imperial Iiederation
meveviant, though t hls may have
merit sufficient in it to make it a
practical 1ttPue also.
The Globe is strongly partisan if
anything. In the investigation of
irregularities now going on before
committees of the House the Globe
spppr'essee much that is said in
favor of parties accused of wrong
doing, and interlards with its own
adverse comments statements grade
against atiroueed so as to make it
appear that such comments are part
of the evidence. A notable in-
stance of its partisan unfairuesenvas
its report of Chief Engineer of
public Works Perley's evidence
last Friday. It was sought to show
that Perley 'recommended a tender
$100,000 higher than another with
intent to defraud the government
out of that amount. Being pressed
Mr. Perley said : "I know nothing
about it. As in other matters that
have been left to my assistants I
have to bear the responsibility."
Then he fell back in a faint and
had to be taken home more dead
than alive. Now, in the face of
this almost dying statement of Mr.
Perley that he had recommended
the higher tender on the report of
his assistants, without himself going
into the details, the Globe has the
presumption to doubt the dying
wordi3 of Mr. Parley, and says, "It
is hardly conceivable that this
chief engineer reported against a
contract $100,000 lower than that
accepted on the mere word of his
subordinates." The public will
accept the sworn evidence of Mr.
Perley, under the circumstances,
and who knew what he was testify-
ing about, against the partisan view
of a Globe writer who knows noth-
ing about the circumstances. Mr.
Perley's statement is quite credible,
for it would be almost impossible
for him or any other chief of a de-
partment, under which works of
enormous proportions are carried
out, to have personal knowledge,of
all the details. Ho must necessari-
ly depend upon his subordinates to
aid him in determining amounts.
That is what they are employed
for. But the Globe's unfairness, its
desire to avoid the truth, is for the
purpose of committing Sir Hector
Langevin. And it says so, Because
it says if there was any wrong doing
and Mr. Perley knew of it, then it Col. Wyllie, the father of the
must have gone on with the con Canadian press, is an octogenarian.
nivance of the Public Works De -?Although so low he can only at
partment (Sir Hectbr.) But such is' titres speak as to be understood, he
not at all an inevitable conclusion.'
Mr. Penley might have been aware
of wrong doing without Sir Hector
being aware of it. But Mr. Parley
swears he acted in good faith, and
we must believe hint until the con-
trary is shown. And if the chief
engineer did not know of any
irregularity, Sir Hector could not
possibly have known of it. Here
is the viciousness of the impeach-
ment of Mr. Perley's evidence.
The Globe knows full well that it
would not be possible for Sir
Hector to pass over the head of the
chief engineer without the chief
knowing it. The chi3f swears he
knew of no wrong doing and conse-
quently Sir Hector could not know
what hie chief, whom he gets his
information from, did not know.
If Sir Hector's skirts are as clear of
wrong doing in all matters as un-
doubtedly is the in this matter, he
need not fear the result of this
tedious investigation.

STRONG PREACHING.
A reverend gentleman having got
into difficulties with his congrega-
tion, found it necessary to hand in
his resignation. Oe the eve of his
departure he preached a farewell
sermon, and sought to improve the
occasion by firing a parting shot.
"You ungratefull and godless peo-
ple," he began severely, "it is clear
that God does not love you, as I
have buried none of you since I
have been here ; and it is certain
you don't love one another:; for I
haven't married one of you. It is
equally plain that you do not love
me, for you have not paid me my
last quarter's salary. However, I
shall be independent of you all. I
have obtained a position as chaplain
of a gaol" And then he coolly gave
out the text -"I go to prepare a
place for you."
A RAiD UPON THE TREASURY, NOT

Liberals will do well to read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest the
following calm and candid editorial
utterance of the Witness.
"This province has fallen upon
evil days when a Cltnplesu Conser-
vative regime is followed by a Mer.
cier Liberal regime. Mr. Laurier
is, we believe, a good man, but, we
are sincerely afraid of the influence
Mr. Mercier might be able to wield at
Ottawa should Mr. Laurier become
premier. That Mr. Mercier is deter,
mined to make a raid upon theFeder-
at Treasury on the first opportunity
is certain, and whether Mr. Laurier.
will be able to resist or not will de-
pend, it seems to us, upon the stren-

"Let me conclude by saying, and let

from the earth, and may I be considered

DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
Ma. DEVLIN CIIARUED WITH UTTER-
ING A FALSEHOOD.
OTTAWA, Ont., July 28. -When
the House of Commons opened yes-
terday's sitting the member for West
York gave it sou,e amusement by
his efforts to get a personal explana-
tion, after being called to order sev•
eras times, by the Speaker. Mr.
Speaker retired from the contest
with aucb a pugnacious member,
and Mr. Wallace said a statement
had been attributed to hint by the
Toronto Mail, and quoted by Mr.
Mr. Devlin. That statement was
that he hoped the dear would never
come when they would have a Ro
man Catholic 'riayor of Toronto.
He had made no such statement,
but referring to Mayor Clarke he
had said that by his conduct as
Mayor he had won the right to say
that Toronto need not he ashamed of
an Orange Mayor. Mr. Wallace
also alluded to the statement made
by Mr. Devlin that Mr. Johnston,
of Ballykilheg, Ireland, had said
that they would kick the Queen's
Crown into the Boyne. Mr. Wal-
lace read a telegram received from
Mr. Johnston as follows :
It is absolutely false that I ever made
such a statement as alleged. Mr Conny-
beare uttered the same falsehood in
south Africa and had to withdraw it.
In Ireland, the Rev. John Flanaghan
spoke of King James the Second's drown
heing'kieked into the Boyne, and has at-
tributed to me the direct seuthnent con
corning tke qu.dtatton. God save the
Queen,
Mr. Devlin said it was the Tor-
onto Mail that attributed the Ian,
guage he bad quoted to Mr. Wal-
lace, and he was glad to hear now
that Mr. Wallace entertained no
such sentiments, but it was signifi
cent that to this, trlorlyellt.,lts Wats
Lee had never contradicted the
newspaper report of his speech.
Mr. Wallace -Withdraw your

"You have been a good son to use.

it over the second time. "That's

John has been with him five years,
and last spring was admitted to the
bar.
"Do you intend taking that young

friend lately.
"Yes, I do. I couldn't get along

UNITED EMPIRE TRADE
LEAGUE.
A PRACTICAL SCHEMA IN OANAD,A"a
INTEREST.
Cul. Vincent, a member of the
British Ho.ise of Commons, address,
ed a large and influential audience
in Windsor hall, Montreal, last Fri-
day evening in favor of the claim's of
the United Empire Trade League.
He talked like a Briton, a Canadian
and a man of 'practical common
sense. lle referred to the fact tbatr,
there were six hundred millions of
British money invested in the colon-
ies, and stated that the solidarity of
the colonial empire must necessari-
ly be of consequence to imperial
Britain. Continuing he said will it
not pay Canaria to maintain the
custom the good -will and the friend-
ship of 360 million souls and to
endeavor to secure a stronger prefer,
tial foothold, or will Canada decide
to haul down the Union Jack and
make terms with foreign nations ?
You have 360 million people on the
one side who sympathize with you,
and on the other you have 60 mil-
lions who want your trade and your
fisheries and will give you very little
in exchange.
He denounced the McKinley tariff
as outrageous and as the outcome of
the jealousy of our rivals, w:,ich was
aimed as much at Great Itritain as at
Canada. continuing, Col. Vincent
said that Great Britain was certain-
ly
READY TO MEET CANADA HALF WAY.
Do not believe, he remarked, that
England is irrevocably wedded to
free trade, which means nothing if it
does not mean free exchange. You
have it in your power to supply
Britain with two-thirds of the 150 ,
000,000 bushels of wheat required
every year. Of course you cannot do
it today, but see how your exports
are growing. You want men and
money to do all this, and men and
money will be found in Britain to
fill up and develop your great North-
west. Why, then, should you sit
down quietly and allow the United
Kingdom to take '28,000,000 quarters
of grain from the United States
when you have the power to produce
this yourselves ? If you are true to
your country, ladies and gentlemen,
you will secure the greater phrt of
this market ; but how is this to be
done? Give Sheffield and Britain a
generous preference here over the
Yankee, and give the old land to
understand that you intend to stick
to this policy and I can tell you that
that the majority of the people of
Great Britain will
WELCOME YOUR PRODUCTS FREE,
while Ike .americans will be tared.
(Great cheering and cries of "Hear,
hear.") The result of this will be to
open the markets of the republic to
your exports and to your manufac-
turers, and to hurry ex -Congressman
McKinley to his earthly doom.
However, before this can be brought
about, the speaker said that the Brit-
ish Government must terminate
those two scandalous and absolute
treaties which have been made with
foreign powers, and which forbid the
British people trading preferentially
with her colonies. Let Canada speak
out in this matter, and let us one
and all press for a speedy termina•
tints of this ignowinous treaty.
A GOOD REFERENCE.
John was fifteen, and wanted a
desirable place in the office of a
well-known lawyer, who had adver
tised for a boy, but doubted his suc-
cess because, being a stranger in
the city, he had no references.
"I'm afraid 1'll stand a poor
chance," he thought, "but I'll try
and appear as well as I can, for that
may help."
So he was careful to have his dress
and person neat, and when he tock
his turn to be interviewed, went iu
with his hat in his hand, and a
smile on his face.
The keen -eyed lawyer glanced him
over from head, to foot.
"Good face," he thought, "and
pleasant ways."
Then he noticed the neat suit -
but other boys had appeared in new
clothes -saw the well -brushed hair
and cleau•looking skin. Very well,
but there had been others quite as
cleanly ; another, glance showed
time finger nails free from soil.
"Ah ! that looks like thorough-
ness," thought the lawyer.
Then he asked a few direct, rapid
questions, which John answered as
directly.
"Prompt," was his mental Com-
ment-; "can speak up when necess-
ary. Let's see your writing," he
added aloud.
John took the pen and wrote his
name.
"Very well, easy to read and no
flourishes. Now what references
have you ?"
The dreaded question at last.
John's face fell. lie had begun
to feel some hope of success, but
this dashed it.
"I haven't any," he said slowly ;
"1'm almost a stranger in the city."
"Can't take a boy without refer-
ences," was the brusque rejoinder,
and as he spoke a sudden
thought sent a flush to John's
cheek.
"I haven't any references," he
said, with hesitation ; "but here's
a- letter .from .my mother - L ,just re•.
ceived."
The lawyer took it. It was a short
letter :-
HE WON THE CASE.
The peculiarity of the great cri-
minal lawyer was well shown at a
murder trial a few days ago.
Mr. McSweeuy appeared for the
defendant.
The state apparently had made
out a very clear case, against the
prison,
Wheren Mr. McSweeny arose to
make his address to the jury lie
carefully avoided any reference to
the facts set forth in the evidence
or the laws governing them. He
pe iuted out the terrible responsi-
bility resting upon the twelve men
who were sitting in judgment upon
the life of one of their fellow citizens.
He added that the verdict of guilty
would not fall heaviest upon the
prisoner, but upon his family. He
asked the jury to think for a mo•
went of the effect of an adverse ver•
dict upon the wife and little ones of
the prisoner.
Then the speaker drew a word,
picture which was a marvel of
artistic rhetorical work. He
brought brought before the eyes
ofthe jurymen the home of the
accused man. He showed the
patient and loving wife leaving her
work cast many an anxious glance
down the road to see if her husband
was yet in sight, eager to be the first
to catch the glimpse of his figure in
the distance that a steaming supper
mtght await him upon his arrival.
He pictured three ruddyfaced litil.=
children swinging on the old gate,
waiting till papa should come home
to them again.
At this point the lawyer noticed
that one of the jutynlen-a blufl•old
westerner - had considerable dif-
ficulty in swallowing a large lump
which choked him, and that there
was a suspicious moisture in h s
eye.
The speaker paused. Turning
toward the juror, lie held out both
hands as a little child might have
done to its father and in a tone that
was scarcely audible :
"Gentlemen, you must send him
home to them."
Shifting uneasily in his seat, the
juror blurted out :-
- "Yes, by —, we'll do it, too.'
McSweeny iustantlyi sat down.
The case was won. He client was
acquitted. But the most interest-
ing point in this case perhaps, was
the fact which the lawyer afterward
learned -that the prisoner at the
bar was an unmarried man.
HE CHANGED HIS SHIFT.
An old fellow who was running a
saw mill down in the southern part
of Tennessee had considerable
trouble in getting a man who
understood the business of a sawyer.
Finally, when the owner of the mill
lied become thoroughly discouraged,
a respectable fellow came along and
asked for a situation. He showed
a paper front one of the leading
mill. men in the country, stating
that the applicant was one of the
best of sawyers. He was engaged
and when he had been at work
about three weeks, the proprietor
called him one morning and said :
'Mr. Collier, you needn't go to
work today.'
'Are you going to shut down 1'
'Yds, so furliez you are consortia
ed.'
'What, you don't want me any
longer ?'
'Yes, that's it.'
'Why, haven't I been giving satis-
faction?'
'Oh, yes, so fur ez yo' work goes.'
'Then what is the matter?'
'Well, I have noticed that you
put on too many shirts.'
'I don't understand you.'
'Wall, you change yo' shirts too
often. Yov have been workin'
here now three weeks, an' I notice
that you put on a clean shirt about
every eight days.'
