Qflinton hew gut MARCH26, , 1897 some of the papers imagine that the 'Local Opposition might win in the next election if they bad a change of leaders, hence the suggestion of Clarke Wallace's name. But there are people skeptical enough to think that some- thing more than a change of leaders is needed. According to the year book our im- ports for home consumption in 1873 to 1877 inclusive were: From Great Bri tain, 48.13 per cent.; from the 'United States, 44.24 per cent. In 1895, after seventeen years of N. P., the figures were: From Great Britian, 27.57 per cent.; from the States, 51.91 per cent. The 1896 returns, show that our im- ports for home consumption last years were: From the States, $58,574,084; from Great Britian, $32,979;742. The N.P as a discourager of trade with the States and a builder up of trade with Great Britain does not seem to have fulfilled the promise of its promoters. The London Free Press, speaking of the theory that poverty is a disease like measles or smallpox, says: "The remedy will be found in the enlight enment of the pauper population. First, their will and self-respect must be cultivated. Then they must ice taught that they themselves can cure the disease of poverty. Nobody else can get well of smallpox or a cold for any patient. He must tussle with it himself and overcome. Just so with poverty, so far as men of good physi- cal and mental health are concerned, and if men are not physically and men- tally well it is largely their own fault." That is not an unreasonable proposi- tion. We suggestft be urged upon those Canadian spineless mendicants who go whining to Parliament for laws t� enable them to get rich by taxing their fellows instead of hustling themselves. Coming from the Free Press it might have a good effect. Canada's Exports.

A very pleasing event oce'lrred on Wednesday afternoon of last week, at the residence of Mrs Jane Laing, Hen- sall, where Rev C. J. Mills has his study and rooms. We refer to the marraige of Mr David Bruce, a pros- perous young farmer of Hullett, to Miss Alice L. Sillery, daughter of the late Mr Sillery, near Staffa, and sister of Mrs Gec. Kidd, of Hensall. On Wednesday morning of last week a quiet but pretty wedding ceremony was performed at the residence of Mr John Geddes, 3rd line, Morris, when his niece, Miss Aggie McKellar, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Stewart McGee, of East Wawanosh. The knot was tied by Rev W. T. Hall, of Belgrave, in the presence of about 30 guests. Consumption, La Grippe, Pneumonia, and all Throat and Lung diseases are cured by Shiloh's Cure. Bold by J. H. Combo Clinton. One day laet week a team of horses belonging to Mr Sparrow, of Bruce - field, took fright while standing at the station and started off down the road at a good pace. On the way they overtook another sleigh, and not car- ing to turn out,just ran into the sleigh, throwing out the occupant, Mr R. Murdoch, and starting his horses, thus causing a second runaway. Mr Mur- dock escaped with a badly scratched face and a good shaking up. Some time during Wednesday night some person or persons broke a couple of the bars off one of the windows at the skating rink in Seaforth, and on gaining admittance, sprinkled a quan- tity of salt across the centre of the ice. Before it was noticed the salt hrfd melted a considerable portion of the ice, which will necessitate a quantity of it being cut oUt to the floor, and it will be some time before it will be got into proper shape attain. The License Question ONTARIO LIQUOR LAW TO BE AMENDED Provincial Treasurer Harcourt in - traduced the new measure for the Net- ter management of the liquor traffic. Mr Harcourt briefly explained the pro- visions of the measure, which, he said, were called for by a well-settled public opinion. It was only in deference to a well-defined public (.pinion that any legislations could be passed in the House, and that remark applied par- ticularly to legislation of the kind un- der consideration. Under the act of 1876 the unit of population in cities, towns turd villages for grani;ing a li- cense was 250; that is not disturbed. Under the old law for the first thou- sand of a population four licenses might h.. granted. It is now pr'oposed that. for the first thousand of a popula• tion three licenses shall he granted. Under the old system for the next 400 of population an additional license might begranted. The newproposi- tion ro osi- s P tions to ware that 080 inetead of 400, The municipal councils will, have the power under the bill to still further re- duce the number nf;licenses. There is, however, this limitation, that when a council passes a by-law reducing the number of licensed places that bylaw must remain force three years. This is not a new principle, as it is found in the local option law. This feature of the bill touches cities, towns and vil- lages. There are 268 of these munici- palities in this Province, and it will be found that a small percentage of this 268 will be affected by the reduced lien. it. In making this provision the Gov- ernment is following the Duncan Act of 1864, and the Canada Temperance Act. Hard Work Can't Hill. Don't get the notion that hard work kills. It doesn't : it can't. Work may tire, but that is all. Then you must rest. What good, hard work does is to make solid men.. The healthiest men in the world are the men who work hardest. It gives them appetite for their meals and brings refreshing sleep. Work all you like and can, only don't worry and don't keep late hours. It is in the latter two points that dan- ger lies, not in work. -EDWARD W. BOK, in March Ladies' Home Journal. NEWS NOTES. In the fiscal year ended June 30 last, the 'Dominion Government collected over 81,000,000 in taxes on sugar. Mr W. C. Wilson, grocer, of Wood- stock, committed suicide by taking a dose of prussic acid. Miss Alice Kay, employed at the Gibson house, Belleville, committed suicide by taking Paris green. Sheriff Murton, of Hamilton, is re- ported to be dying. ' The Hudson Bay Company contri- bute $1,000 to the Indian Famine Re- leif Fund. Mr A. M. Williamson, Town Clerk of Kincardine, is dead. The ,Conservatives of North Grey nominated Mr G. M. Boyd as their candidate for the Legislature. If the system is fortified by Hood's Sar- siparilla, which makes rich, red blood, there is little danger of sidkness, The Protestant School Commission. ers of Montreal have entered an acti against Mr Brenner for having sent his children to a public school while there were cases of measles in the family. Hon. Sidney Fisher addressed a meeting of the Dorninion Alliance in Montreal, warning them that the com- ing plebiscite would be a fight to the death with the liquor traffic in Can- ada. A screeching cat in the house of Mrs Julia Culhane, Kingston, saved that lady's life on Feb. 26. The house was ablaze, the smoke affected the impris- oned cat, and its yell awoke the wo- man, who escaped with singed hair. Up to date, $1,02. 72 has been con- tributed for India famine sufferers by the Anglican churches of the Diocese of Huron. The Patrons of Industry have decid- ed to throw opeli their doors to all corners, with the exception of all members of combines. In other words' the Patron order, becomes simply a chunk of the general public. One day last week, while Rev R. S. G. Anderson, of Wroxeter,was driving gently along the horse took fright and ran away. After spilling the rev. gen- tleman out and smashing the shafts loose it ran through the bridge, knock- ing George Kaake (who had climbed up the side for safety) off and causing htm to fall on the ice below, a distance, of twenty teet. We are glad to learn that he was not very seriously injured, while Mr Anderson escalied unhurt. The marriage in Broadway Church, Toronto, on Wednesday, of Mr. W. A. McDonald of Parkhill to Miss Pearline McDougall has a touch of romance. About a year ago Mr. McDonald, whose parents reside at Belleville,came home ill and was taken to the General Hospital for treatment. He remained several weeks under the care of the chief nurse and she did her with work so well that he fell in love with her. Wednesday they were married asstated above. To Make Bedroom Slippers. Procure 3 ounces of crimson double Ber• lin wool, a small bone crochet hook and a pair of cork soles. Make a chain of 12 stitches, and in these work 11 plain double crochet; second row double crochet, tak- ing up the horizontal loop at the back of every stitch, and increase by working three stitches into the center stitch of the pre- ceding row. Third row the same, without increasing. Repeat these two rows until you have 11 raised ridges from the toe, which will complete the instep. For the side, crochet 12 stitches and work back- ward and forward until you have a length sufficient to reach the back of the sole, then break off and work a similar piece for the other nide. Join together at the heeL Work four rows of looted crochet round the top—that is, double crochet—twisting the wool once round a mesh an inch wide before inserting the hook to work the stitch, then one row of plain double cro- chet. Line the slipper with flannel and sets to the sides, having first bound the edge of the soles with ribbon. Finish off with a ribbon rosette in front. -Pittsburg Dis- patch. eV.®, aPC:0R$A. The fate simile 'Ignatius st y� r le on evert maser. Y. eY At the meeting of the Dominion Grange Grand Lodge, in Toronto, Prof. Goldwin Smith was invited to speak. He said there is one thing in whioh England had the ad. vantage over Canada, and that was in the matter of good roads. He does not believe in loading down Governments indisorim- inately with all kinde of extra duties and work, this question of good roads is one in whioh the Government might be reason- ably expected to do something for the fem. er. Speaking of the tendency of young peo- ple to leave the farm tor the pity he said that thea introdution of machinery was throwing labour on the market, them anu- facturies aro centralizing in the' cities, the growing love oflife and excitement attract people to great centres, departmental stores with the accompanying cheapness and easy railway facilities all assist in the move- ment. It is not a healthy movement. it is like a rush of blood to the head decidedly harmful and ifpeople pe pe kne w t,/jIat was in their own intereets t hey wouldn't do it. Nei- ther the moral nor physical air is as good in a big city as in a email town or village, nor is social life as enjoyable. If people would only recognize these facts. But the econ- omic forceeat work are too great to resist and it is useless struggling against it. LIFE IN THE COUNTRY Does higher education tend to unduly draw the young people from the farm to the pity, to leave the life of their fathers to enter the professions? It is worse than useless to lift a young man or woman out of their own sphere into one which they wore unfitted to fill. But might not more be done in the way of technical training for the farm, so that farming might be more scientific? The best land in Ontario'is doubtless all tak- en up, but the capabilities of the soil are not exhausted, in England high cultivation still brought big results, and so it might be here, Country life might be made more attract- ive and pleasant by the cultivation of the social side thereof. The farmer li res too hard a life with too little enjoyment. tie and his family should go about more and get more amusement, especially in winter. "The Government has no right to spend the people's money in providing a fanoy eduoation. To oftenthe result is to make the scholar unhappy and dissatisfied, A man is happiest in the sphere which he is best fitted to occupy. I have great respect for the institutions of higher learning, but I believein thelold scholarship syetem,which gave the opportunities to the young men and woman who were best qualified to to reap benefit from them. FREE TRADE FOREVER. Replying to a number of questions in- formally put to him by grangers, Prof. Smith said teat the cost of government and the number of legislators could be greatly reduued. The prospect of serious competi- tion in England from eastern cheap labor was not considered probable in the near future. The commerdial supremacy which England had so long held was largely a matter of accident arising from her advan- tages of situation during the Napoleonic wars. Other nations were now gaining gradually on her, but there was no cause for alarm. The "made in Germany" scarce need not disquiet anyone at present. " I believe in free trade under any and all oiroureetances. Under protection the strongest gets the most, and the weakest, who needs aid the most, gets the least. If protection between countries is good, why not between provinces and states ? The United States has prospered because it is the greatest free trade country in the world. Would it have prospered if it had built a protective wall around each state ? Free Free trade would be good for us, even iflthe States continues protection; in fact if Can- ada went free trade the States would have, to adopt the same policy; they couldn't maintain a protective tariff. It is a mis- take to suppose prosperity could be secured by legislation inetead of by thrift and in- dustty." A POINT TO REMEMBER. If you wish to purifiy your blood yon should take a medicine which cures blood diseases. The record of cares by Hood's Saasaparila proves that this is the best medicine for the blood ever produced. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures the most stub- born oases and it is the medicine for you to take if your blood is impure. HOOD'S PILLS are the best after-din- ner pill; assist digestion, cure headache. 25o, Liquor Licenses. • The annual report of the Provincial Treasurer of Ontario on the working of the Tavern and Shop Licenses Acts for 1896 shows a material reduction in the number of licenses in force in the last few years, and also a decrease in the amount of fines collected. The number of .ersonscommitted for this offense in 11! i shows a decrease of 3,30, when compared with 1895. The aver- age yearly commitments for each per- iod of five years from 1876 to 1895, in- clusive, are rs follows : From 1876 to 1880, inclusive 3,812 From 1881 to 1885, inclusive 4,016 From 1886 to 1890, inclusive 4 311 From 1891 to 1895, inclusive 2 703 In the twenty years, or since the present licensing system was put in force, there have been many marked changed. The number of places licensed to sell liquor in the undermentioned counties of Western Ontario was as follows : 1874. 1895.

It is announced that the Conserva- tive candidate returned for St. Boni- face, Man., can neither read nor write. This is a bad advertisement for Mani- toba, but recent reforms in its educa- tional system should effect a great im- provement for the future. Joseph Murdo3k, of Scott county, Va„ who was supposed to have been murdered 25 years ago, and for whioh crime Bud Lindsay served 21 years in the Virginia penitentiary, has returned to his former home, Lindsay died recently. The carpet in the Queen's private railway carriage cost $750. The curtains are hung upon silver poles, whioh are suspended up- on small gilt figures, whioh Dost $50 each. The door handles cost $750. The whole sa- loon cost $30,000. "A crick in the back," a pain under the shoulder -blades, water brash, bilhousness, and constipation, are symptoms of disor- dered stomach, kidneys, liver and bowels. For all ailments originating in a derange- ment of these organs, take Ayer's Pills. A singular story has been reported by the physicians of McPherson county, Kan- sas. Living in the north-east part of Reno country is a German farmer, Abraham Kroeger. He sold his wheat some time ago to the Buhler mill, and it became necessary to have it delivered, even though theroads were heavy and muddy. In taking the wheat to mill, Kroeger was in the habit of eating wheat. He was continually picking up a moutbfal. He was taken sick a few days ago, and his ailment baffled the doc- tors. Kroeger grew worse. The doctors, being unable to diagnose the case, and fear- ing death if no relief was given, an opera- tion was determined upon. Tuesday it was performed, and over a quart of sprout- ed wheat was taken from the stomach of the old German. Some of the sprouts were two inches long. Kroeger is in a bad shape, and itis doubtful if he will recover froth the operation. The New York Times says: "Several im- portant Canadian firms have given notice that if the exclusion of Canadians from employment in this country be enforced by law, they will .instantly 'discharge all Americans in their employ. This is per- fectly natural, and our people can have no reason to complain. but it would be an economic mistake nevertheless. Ameri- cans are now employed no doubt because they are needed, and their labor is profit- able. In other words, for precisely the same reason that Canadians are employed on this side of the border. There is no benevolence nor international good feeling involved, but interest only. If we injure our interests by .excluding Canadians, they will injure theirs by retaliation. The theory of our proposed law is fallacious ab- solutely. It is that there is a fixed quan- tity of work which Americans will get if Canadians are shut out. It may help oar narrow-minded legislators to see the thing in its true light, however, if our people are forbidden to work in Canada. 'kg XT.
