—Since 1860 the Republican party in
ie United States has carried every
residential election in the United
tates except two, the two exceptions
eing in 1881 and 1892, when Cleveland
as elected. The largest number of
lectoral votes ever polled for a presi-
ential candidate was in 1904, for
oosevelt.

907 there were but two fires with
asses exceeding $1,000,000, and twen-
y-five fires with losses of a half mil -
ion or over, there has already been

—At a meeting of the Monday Club,
n Santa Anna, Dr. C. D. Ball read a
aper on cancer, He began with the
ollowing quotation : "At its present
alarming increase in frequency, can-
er, within the next twenty-five years,
vill destroy the whole human family."
Jornmenting on this statement, a
ecent writer says :—"Does it never

nedical profession to inquire as to the
eason for this appalling increase
If a dreadful disease? In our opinion,
t is due mainly to two causes. First,

tnimal substances into the blood.
Odd to this worry, and you have
auses enough—all remediable causes."
—The Chicago *Woman's Club has
PAPER --
1 a movement to abolish the giv-
ing of Christmas presents. The presi-
dent of the club is quoted as saying :—
"The whole system of giving Christ-
mas presents is preposterous. Human
society must eventually rid itself of
an excrescence which has grown out
of a celebration once beautiful and
appropriate, but which has lost
i is original significance and value."
There is much truth in this. The cus-
tom of exchanging presents at Christ-
mas has become an insufferable nui-
sance, and a great tax upon the purses
of people of modest means. A large
propov'tion of the presents so given
are useless, or unnecessary, to the
recipient. It would be well if Christ-
mas charity could be confined to cases
where it is needed. In other cases an
artistic souvenir might be substituted
for things of a greater cost.
**
A Probable Change.
Three years ago, a Wingham Con
servative made this statement—"In
seven years, there will not be a Liber-
al Government from the Atlantic to
the Pacific."
The editor of this paper thought
that was a sweeping statement at the
time, but since then there have been
changes. In Manitoba, and British
Columbia, Conservatives are in power.
Ontario has gone ponservative by the
largest majority' yet, New Bruns-
wick has swung over to the Conserva-
tives. Nova Scotia is changing in
sentiment also.
In Quebec, which hashitherto been
the Liberal stronghold, there are
strong signs of dissatisfaction. In the
recent election the Conservatives car-
ried many more seats there for the.
Provincial House ,than before. In
Quebec,Mr. Bo
urassa is dividing the
Laurier forces, and while not a Con-
servative, his influence is against the
Laurier Government,
The 214 seats in the House of Com-
mons are now made 'up :
Ontario . 86
Quebec 65
Nova Scotia 18
New Brunswick 13
Manitoba .. , 10
British Columbia '7
Prince Edward Island 4
The Territories 11
Total *214
It will thus be seen that 116 of the
seats are in Provinces which are now
Conservative or more than half. This
is a feature of the situation which
means 'much. In addition, the feeling
in the Dominion is strongly on behalf
of clean government, and in this re-
gard there is the general sentiment
that the time has come for a change
at the Capital. The French paper
L'Evenement, of Quebec, commenting
on the Provincial elections, says that,
if the Conservatives have been able to
secure such success in minor contests
when they had against them all the
influence of the Ottawa Government,
they should easily triumph in the gen-
eral election.
—A wealthy plantation owner of
Georgia gives the following statement
in explanation of the reform wave
which has swept over many of the
Southern States and shows it to be
due in no small measure to economic
forces tending to show the practical
value of prohibition : "With us the
stoppage of wholesale drinking was a
measure of self-preservation. We saw
that the money of the negroes work-
ing on the plantations was nearly all
going into the grog -shops. When n
laborer ,had the habit of spending all
his wages for drink, it fell upon the
planter to furnish money for the sup-
port of the families. The planters
were losing in prosperity, while the
saloon -keepers were getting rich. If
Matters had kept on, hundreds of
plantation owners would have faced
bankruptey. This is the business side
of it, \Vith prohibition .the negroes
are better workers, and their con-
dition is ' prosperous. As for the
moral atmosphere, it is improved a
thousandfold, and everybody is hap,
py, with the exception of those who
formerly Owned saloons."

"Weekly Sun" for alienation of the
Independent vote, as vi/ell as patty
Liberals front the Laurier Govern.
meat t—"Why the Ottawa Govern-
ment has failed to hold the support it
bad in 1806 is easily explained.
'tittering office pledged to a policy of
economy, it has increased total
expenditures of $44,000,000, to an esti-
mate (not counting supplementaries)
of nearly *120,000,000 for 1009. Pro-

—Many, farmers in the neighbor.
heed of Mt. Forest have been very
unfortunate this spring in the way of
losing their mares and colts at foaling
time. The veterinaries are at a loss
to account for what is almost an epi-
demic in • this line. One farmer in
Arthur, we bear, estimates his total
loss at about $500. In another case a
two -headed colt was given birth to.
—A mistake which nearly cost Mr.
Frank Graham, Pine River, his life,
o,currecl on Wedneeday of last week.
Mr, Graham, who has not been feel-
ing well and was taking medicine,
took a dose of laudanum by mistake.
Ho at once recognized what he had
done 'and his wife administered mus-
ard and water. His son Richard
drove to town immediately and medi-
cal attendance brought him around so
that he was out of danger at 11 o'clock
and able to return, home.
—Two travellers, J. II. Richardson
and Mr. McEwen, were driving
between Durham and Hanover during
a recent terrific electrical storm.
With only the vivid flashes of light-
ning to guide. them through the
almost impenetrable darkness, the
two travellers were in the centre of a
culvert when the shaky structure col-
lapsed, precipitating them and the
horses and rig into the 'water eight
feet below. The horses managed to
free themselves from the tangled mass
of harness and broken planks, but
the carriage, pinning the occupants
underneath, was carried with swift
'impetus down the river. After drift-
ing a distance of 100 feet the frighten-
ed travellers disentangled themselves
from the wrecked carriage by ripping
the waterproof cover and crawling
out. Quickly, they were thrown up
against a wire fence which partly
crossed the river at this point. They
crawled along the top of this and thus
gained the. land. The travellers
returned to the broken bridge to look
for their samples, but everything was
swept away. Only one of the horses
was found alive, the other one having
been drowned, and was later hauled
out of the river dead.
The st}ccessful management of the
Temismilning railway, is an argument
in favor of public ownership.
The cost of building the Temiskam-
ing Railway up to end of 1907 was
$11;318,000.
The receipts from operation during
the last calendar year aggregated
$853,000, an increase of $309,000 over
the previous twelve months. The ex-
penditure -was $615,000, an increase of
$282,000. The net income from earn-
ings was $$08,000, while receipts from
royalties on mineral output along the
right of way amounted to $51,000
more.
The earnings from operation alone
were sufficient to meet operating ex-
penses and to provide a surplus equal
to over one and three-quarters per
cent, on the capital invested. The
showing is, in view of the fact that
the construction period is not yet at
an end, a very good one. When the
system is completed, and the Trans-
continental with which the Temis-
kaming road will connect, is also fin-
ished, the line owned by the people of
Ontario ought to pay, out of surplus
earnings, interest on the entire cost of
construction. Even now the enter-
prise affords a pleasing contrast with
the Intercolonial, a completed line,
which does not even meet the cost of
operation.
-..-In Kincardine township Mr. John
Bushell, lot 45, Durham Road, Met
with a serious loss, At 4.20 on Mon-
day afternoon of last week his barn
was struck by lightning and besides
being totally consumed by fire he had
five head of cattle and a calf killed,
The animals had `taken shelter from
the storm near the barn and were
killed by lightning. None of the con-
tents sr the barn were saved. Mr.
Bushell will be a heavy loser as he
only had $500 on the building and
$600 on the contents.

in my forehead and the pain over my
eyes was so intense I thought my
head would burst. My voice grew
very hoarse and I coughed every
night, and through the winter could
scarcely speak. My voice was gone.
Two doctors didn't help nie at all.
