CURREVT TOPICS.
The Dominion elections are not likely
•to be held until 1896. But that must
not prevent electors front having their
names placed on the lists at once.
Tt is surprising how a Reform paper
het a thousand miles from Clinton
'quotes the Montreal Star as "Independ-
(ent ()unservative" when two-thirds of
7.tsarticles are "ag'in the Government."
The Seaforth Expositor says the'
Reform convention at larucefield the
other day was of a very harmonious
:nature, and that the Reformers are
,entirely satisfied with Mr. McMillan.
Why not say that proof of this could
• have been more clearly given if .Mr. M.
C. Cameron had captured the convert-
' tion oyer Mr, McMillan. If the vote
-menus anything it means that a gond
'portion of the Reform electorate are
tired of John McMillan and anxious
for -a -change.
The Toronto Globe had an article the
other day on "The Voters' Lists" in
• which -it says of the Conservatives :—
"The restraiuiug influence of a criminal
'prosecution is needed as to theprinciples
• of equity in order that lists may not be
stuffed." The Conservatives of Huron
failed to adopt the "restraining in-
fluence" in the way of looking after the
lists for the last general election.
From past experience, Conservatives
11,111 be wise to act on the advice of the
9lober even though "the restraining
.influence of a criminal prosecution is
needed in order to compel the Grits to
be honest.

special prize of $2 at the fair

most injured by drinking intoxicating

should next offer a prize for the worst
criminal of some chosen class! To put
a premium on crime is not to check it,
rather to encourage it. We have al -
..ways understood that. such bodies as
the Gananoque R. T. T.'s endeavor to
promote temperance rather than place
a premuin on drunkenness.

Since Sir Sohn Thompson is making
no mistakes, 1Vilfred Laurier is not to
blame if he snakes little headway.
Never was an Opposition leader con-
fronted with a Premier who blundered
as little. Sir John A. Macdonald was
aided as largely by the blunders of his
opponents as by his own genius. The
Grits are not assisted now by a blund-
ering Premier, for Sir John Thompson
seldom errs. It would have been an

LEGISLATION TO nE DEMANDED AT THE
NES]' SESSION OF ma PROVINCIAL
LEGISLATURE.
At the meet°ng of the Patrons of
Industry members of the Local Legisla-
ture, held in Toronto last Friday, it
was unanimously resolved that the
united influence of the Patron party
be used during the conning session to
secure legislation as indicated by the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That there he an enact-
ment to render it a violation of the in-
dependence of Parliament to accept a
pass from any railway, steamboat
or other transportation company.
y
snit' for Lieutenant -Governor's cler
Resolved, That the payment of ank
hire or set vents' fees by the Ontario
Government or for the furnishing of a
free residence or supplies of any kind
to that official be hereafter prohibited
by legislation.
Resolved, That beyond the salary it
tacked to any office there should be n
allowance or any gratuity to any em
ploye of the Government for living e
penses or for :any other. purpose. •
Resolved, That while we approve o
the principles of the payment lby fees,
the amount retained by officials should
be fixed ata fair remuneration for the
services rendered, and that the balance
of fees he paid into the treasury of the
municipality and treated as general
revenue.
Resolved, That a hill should he
passed in accordance with plank No: 7
of the Patrons' platform ; that the ex-
isting system of inspection of county
officers he continued ; that office be'
held during efficiency and good be-
havior ; and that where incompetency
or irregularities exist in any office the
inspector shall lay his complaint before
a non-partisan tribunal to be specified
in the Act.
Resolved, That clause 10 of the
Medical Act he repealed and that the
power of the Medical (aiuncil to annul
the certificate of any physician regular-
ly authorized by the faculty of any duly
chartered college to practice medicine
be abrogated, encl. that all charges of
fraud, or wrong -doing made against
any medical man shall be tried liy the
ordinary courts on the same principles
and under the swine procedure as ap-
plies to criminal acts committed by
others.
Also, That all enactments conferring
special privileges • upon the legal fra-
ternity be repealed.
The following resolution was passed
by a standing vote of all the mem-
bers :—
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves
to vote and act unitedly on all ques-
tions declared by the majority of the
Patron members to • be Patron
questions ; and we hereby declare
our determination to resist all
attempts at coalition or affiliation with
either of the existing political parties.
Wise and Otherwise.
Among those who attended the
meeting of Patrons who have been
elected to the Ontario legislature was
Dr. McPherson, of Glengarry. And T.
L. Pardoe, of West Kent, who was un-
able to be present, telegraphed his
determination to remain faithful to
the Patron cause. These two gentle-
men the Toronto Globe insists upon
classing as government supporters in
its election returns.
That was an awful relnark that Na-
tionalist Michael Devitt made to Na-
tionalist Tim Healy. He told Healy
that he had Netter join the Parnellites.
It was equivalent to telling Tim to go
to the everlasting deuce.
An important point to election peti-
ons was raised at Osgoode Hall last
aturday when the defence in the

tunes are cackling over the fact that
the Dominion revenue had decreased
to the amount of a anilliou and a half
during the last fiscal year. These con-
temporaries point with pride to the
falling off of imports under a protec tive
tariff. They profess to believe in "Brit-
ish freetrade," Well, in a single
month --last month --British imports
fell off to the extent of $10,500,000.
Does that prove anything against
British free trade?
We believe the Methodist general
conference has made a mistake in tak-
ing an aggressive stand in favor of
national prohibition. The Methodist
church, or any other church, steps out
of its province when, as as a church, it
presumes to dictate to its adherents
whom they shall vote for as members
of parliament, nt
and
Pwhom rn they shall
vote against. No objection could be
taken if the conference put itself on
record in favor of temperance, or even
total abstinence. But to presume to
say that Methodists should vote only
for candidates who favor the national
prohibition of the liquor traffic is
nothing short of intolerable intoler-
/Luce. Let the churches keep out of
polities. We have had too much politi-
cal ecclesiasticism already.
At hast the 2 minute mark seems

years ago Nancy Hanks placed the
mile trotting record at 2.04, and Mascot
equalled that time next :lay in a pacing

months to lower the pacing record a
quarter of a second. Robert J. accom-
plished that task. Later,, however,
that game little horse excelled his.

• As September 26, the date set for the
x-•$5,000 battle between Dan Creedon and
f Bob Fitzsimmons, grows nearer its un-
certa.iuty grows greater and the inter-
est of the sporting world increases.
While Fitzsimmons will no doubt be a
hot favorite in the betting, yet the
truth of the matter is, that but very
few have got a true line on Creedon.
While the wise men .,of the ring who
have come in touch with him, are say-
ing but little out loud, it is a well-
known fact that Fitzsimmons' follow-
ers are finding in a quiet way all the
Creedon money they wont. • •

Pensonally Fitzsimmons has always
believed that Creedon was easy game.
But then, Creedon has improved al-
most beyond belief since he tune to
this country. The instruction he re-
ceived while helping to train Corbett
for the Mitchell fight did him no end
of good, while his rnetlihd of living and
manner of taking etre of himself has
greatly unproved his condition. •
Some time ago it was reported that
Creedon was a victim of nmscular
rheumatism and that his days as a,
fighter had passed. This has no doubt
taken many of the sporting fraternity
over to the Fitzsimmons side.
Creedon is doing his training in St.
Louis under the care of his foster
brother, Tommy Tracy. He was seen
in the office of iits manager, Col. John
D. Hopkins, by a Chronicle reporter,
and among ether things unbosomed
himself regarding the "muscular rheu-
matism" story:
"Ill December last" (he laughed when
the subject was broached) "I was giving
sparring exhibitions with a variety
and atheletie company. We played a
week's engagement in Boston. During
Christmas week it was bitterly cold,
the theatre in which we played was
miserably heated behind the curtain.
The dressing -rooms were so cold that
you could actually see your breath.
My contract with the manager stipulat-
ed that I was tobox two bouts of three
rounds each, one of which was to be
"try-out"with tiny local fighterpossess-
ed of an ambition to make me "bite the
dust."
"Though my task was not a severe
one from a scientific point of view, the
work was hard and monotonous and
the perspiration streamed from my
pores as I scampered from the
stage into my cold, damp dressing -
room. I resisted the shock of these
sudden changes until the night before
we closed our engagement, when, as I
was dressing, preparatory to leaving
the'theatre, a sickening chill penetrat-
ed my back, my legs ached and T and -
only became sick at my. stomach. I
drank two hot whiskeys in a neighbor-
ing saloon, hurried to my hotel, and
huddled up in bed.
"On the following morning on
awakening, my right ankle was stiff

"'Physicians be hanged, I have spent.
hundreds of dollars on 'em," here br alae
in Col. ]Hopkins,
"After using one box of Pink Pills,"
continued Creedon, "the pain gradu-
ally relaxed, my appetite unproved, I
started taking a second box, and the
pain and swelling disappeared from my
ankles and feet, and the muscles of my
arms were restored to their normal
condition.
"I left for Jacksonville, Fla., New
Year's day with "Billy" Delaney,
trainer of Jim Corbett, to assist in pre-
paring the champion for the inter-
national glove contest with Charley
Mitchell. I had finished my second
box of Pink Pills when r left Boston.
The sudden change of climate, combin-
ed with the malarial atmosphere of
C�Ordlett'8 a
training quarters s at
May -
port, revived the pain in my muscles
and I became alarmed at my condition.
"I went up to Jacksonville antiwar -
ed another supply of -Pink Pills. Tho
marvellous effect of these Pills almost
baffles belief.
"The Pink Pills battler,' successfully
with the rheumatism and the seeds of
malaria planted in my system by the
damp nights spent on the Florida
coast. I was in condition to begin
work with Corbett after a few days
rest and was rapidly restored to health,
the muscles of My legs and arms
being as strong and good as ever.
"I never in may life worked harder
than during the Garbett training cam-
paign at Mayport. The rheumatic
ankles of a few weeks previous, were
free from soreness and stiffness, as all
visitors to. Mayport who witnessed
me- play hand -ball and speed over the
hard sand of the beach can attest.
"A remarkable feature is, that I
plunged from the cold of the north in-
to the dampness of the Florida climate
after a rheumatic siege, taking no par-
ticular care of my health beyond the
regularity of my Pint( Pill treatment.
I give you every detail of the case in
order to end all further controv ersv
about my condition. I never felt
better in my life and, barring acci-
dents, will be ready to fight the fight
of my life on Sept. 26th."
I hereby certify that the foregoin
interview is truthful in every detail
