R. L. BORDEN, -Mr. Henry Eilber, the 11.1),P. for South Huron, bas given notice in the Legislature of the following motion relative to this county ; "Order of the House for a re- turn of copies of all correepondence between the Government or any member, or official thereof, or persons on its behalf, and any other person or persons in corres- pondence with the appointment of Wm. Coats, as Registrar of the County of Huron." .1' -In 1884 (twenty years ago) Edison, the inventor, made the fol- lowing prediction and the greater part of it has already been realized: 'As to the changes which will be effected by electricity within fifty years in the city of New York, I would say that I believe electricity will propel the cars of the street and elevated railroads, light the city within and without its build- ings, furnish power for all purpos- e, work telephones and burglar alarms, deliver the opera, convey parcels, detect and signal fires, operate fire engines, and possibly displace animal locomotion for vehicles." -A charge of murder in the first degree against a Nebraska man has been withdrawn because it was shown that a microbe hav- ing a most formidable name and a well-established reputation for manslaughter entered the wound of the man who was shot and caused death. .A_ bullet entered the man first and in all probability • would have caused death anyhow, but the bacillus got there too, and therefore the charge against the shooter must be changed to assault with intent to kill, arson, disorder- ly conduct, or something 'equally good.' The law is a wonderful thing sometimes." Ball Bros. The People's Furniture Store 3oot and Soo SALE T. A.

A full line to seleet, from. T. A. MILLS a iiiiiiatimuwwwwwwwwwwwwoutia The Toronto News, edited by Mr. Willison, ex -editor of the Toronto Globe, has the following estimate of Mr. R. L. Borden, the Conservative leader in the Com- mons ;-- "Mr. Borden is not so forceful as Sir Charles Tupper, but he is more gracious and more concilia- tory, and will win a personal devo- tion from his followers which his predecesspr did not command. He is undoubtedly growing in fitness for leadership in Parliament and in the country, and even now stands unchallenged in the high place which came to him unsought three years ago. No one doubts that he is clean -handed, high- minded and finely zealous for the dignity of public life and the honor of the country. It is too soon to determine the ultimate measure of his statesmanship, or even to de- clare that he has the genius for leadership. But at least he is neither a blusterer nor a blunderer, and that he grows steadily in size and in authority can hardly be dis- puted. He is an, attractive speak- er. He handles men with tact and discrimination. He has the delib- eration in speech and act which suggest strength and purpose. On the question of tariff he probably represents the dominant sentiment of the country, while his attitude towards Provincial autonomy, which is surely the only possible policy for the Liberal party, mut commend him to the Western Ter- ritories. Under such a leader the Conservative party is certain to fight with spirit and with enthusi- asm, and upon such a platform as will hold no menace for the true and permanent interests of the country.'' :1 -According to recent statistics, Australia is beginning to pay a ruinous price for its socialistic ex- periments. , Owing to extravagance in the form of public works under- taken primarily to give employ- ment to labor and hold the labor vote, the country is heavily bur- dened with debt, and vague pro- posals looking to repudiations more or less thinly veiled are al- ready in the mouths of demagogues of the baser sort. Owing to de- pression caused mainly by crude legislative attempts to revolutionize the natural laws of trade, the coun- try is losing the thriftier and more self-reliant part of its population by emigration. -By virtue of the Act passed at Ottawa last session, the railway companies are now compelled by law to furnish passes for members of Parliament. They will be per- forming a duty, in place of confer- ring a favor. The mileage will disappear. However, the sessional indemnity was two years ago in- creased from $1,000 to $1,500, so that the accounts will balance in the case of most members. Last session the Commoners drew $20,- 000 for mileage, and the Senators received $9,000. There will be a considerable loss for the British Columbia members. The repre- sentative from the Yukon territory will be very far behind, by the loss of his mileage. '1 A HARVEST FOR FOREIGNERS. The great expansion of the aggre- gate trade of the past, six months has resulted in an apparent gain of $16,012,872, as compared with the corresponding period of 1902. Such is the happy intelligence con- veyed to Canadians by the govern- ment press. The statement hardly bears an- alysis. While Canada's total com- bined imports and exports show a healthy increase, the robustness is all on the side of imports. From June 30th to December 31st, 1903, the Laurier tariff en- abled foreigners to flood Canadian markets with goods to the value of $121,532,008. From June 30th to December 3Ist, 1902, Canada only purchased $103,201,614 worth of foreign goods. So that outsiders have gathered in 318,330,394 more in good Canadian greenbacks dur- ing the first six month of 1903-04 than they did during the first six months of 1902-03. In exports Canada has not been so fortunate. She sent abroad from June 30th to December 31st, 1902, prodttce worth $125,301,466. From June 30th to Deo 31st, 1903, Canadians' only produced goods to the extent of $122,983,954, a fal- ling off $2,317,512. The net result of this disastrous policy has been to leave Canadians at the end of the six months to December 31st, 1903, with $20,- 647,906 lems.cash than they would have, had the Fielding tariff been only as evil in its effects as in the six months ending December 31st, 1902. Instead of Canada gaining in trade, she is going behind more and more each year. Imports aro swamping exports -and with such progress another 1878 will soon be at hand. The government closes its eyes to impending hard times, but the people should see to it, that Sir Wilfrid Lauries and his following are made to give way to the Conservative party, whose motive is "Canada for Canadians." 1 -In England not a single pas- senger of the many millions that were carried by the railways in the year 1902 were killed, while in Canada 320 lives were lost. This result may not be due entirely to the rigid and immediate investiga- tion of accidents practiced in Eng- land, but it is reasonably certain that such inquiry has some rela- tion to the safety of passengers. If the railroad companies knew that every accident would be in- quired into by an independent and fearless officer, greater care would be taken in engaging competent Operators, engineers would not be allowed to make two or three days' time in twenty-four honrs, and the roadbed and equipment would be maintained in efficient Condition, From October lat, 1902 to April 1st, 1908, the lives lost on Can- adian railways totalled 179. -The opposition when the trunk Trunk Nellie deal was breathed, urged upon the govern. ment the absurdity of pursuing thevision further, nail thor- ough surveys of the eastern section had been obtained. tton.A. G. Blair joined in the chorus of pro- teate, but Sir Wilfrid obdurately refused to be eounselled, Ete de, Oared that there were "mountains of information" to be had. Later he laid on the table of the house s bine book containing the amid "mountain's of information," and the data proved to be of very little value, It is poiidstentIy uorsd tlaiet the ria ikod A Asthmatic Story Told.
