In its issue of last week, it quotes from the Winnipeg Tribune an article corroborating its own position, and it refers to the Tribune in these words: "We now produce corroborative evidence, not from Conservative sources, but from a leading Liberal newspaper, the Winnipeg Tribune, a staunch Liberal paper." The Tribune is not a Liberal paper, it was repudiated by the Liberals of the West years ago, and they refuse to re- cognizo it as such to day; its editor ran as a eah5 date in direct opposition to a Liberal, and on the platform stated his opposition to theDominion Government, and it is no more a Liberal paper than the Wingham Advance. Yet in the face of these facts, which are publicly known, the editor of the latter paper has the nerve to quote it as a Liberal paper. If the editor of the Advance has any regard for the truth left, instead of asking Mr. Holmes to acknowledge rashness, is thing of which he was not guilty) he should apoligise to bis own readers for misleading them. -Clinton New Era. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Spring Cleaning. This is the season of the year when our townspeople should commence clean- ing the winter's accumulation of odds and ends about their premises. We no- tice that a number of people have been dumping coal ashes on the streets. This i9 a practice that should be stopped. and the ashes should now be moved, Piles of ashes here aud there on the streets gives our town a very dirty ap- pearance, The road grader should be put to work on the front street and have the banks of sump levelled down so that it will have a chance to get away before the1st of June.
