NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Caned I's customs revenue for October
is $660 373 ahead of October, 1005, and
the past four months chew a• nein of
$2,176 445 over the same period of last
year.
The official returns in the regent North
Bruce election give Mr. Tolmie a ma-
jority of 371. A respectable majority
for a man who was sure to be defeated,
as was predicted by some of the Conser-
vative newspapers.
The speeoh from the throne at the
opening of the Dominion Parliament on
the 22nd inst., in addition to a reference
to the intended tariff revision, and the
amendment of the Insurance Act, will
promise the introduction of such legisla-
tion as experience has proven necessary
for the perfecting of the Canadian elec-
tion law.
At the meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the East Huron Liberal As-
sociation held in Brussels last week, it
was decided to hold the annual meeting
of the Association at Brussels on Tues-
day, December llth. At this meeting a
candidate will be selected to contest East
Huron for the Commons at the next
election. Every polling sub -division in
the riding should be represented at this
meeting and assist in the matter of
selecting a candidate.
Canada's postal revenue is forging
ahead at an astonishing rate. For the
month of October it amounts to $660,•
796, a gain of $150,441 and $286,847,
respectively, when compared with the
same month in 1905 and 1898. For the
four months ending October 31st the
total receipts of the Postoffice Depart-
ment were $2,45Q,065, as against $2,136,-
066 for the same months of 190506 and
of $1,418,728 for the first four months of
the &hal year 1893 99.
After one of the most strenuous fights
in the history of politioal contests in
Nova Scotia, Hon. W. S Fielding was
re-elected in Queen's and Shelbourne,
on Wednesday of last week by an over-
whelming majority, and Dr. Weldon,
who was forced upon the constituency
by a faction of malcontents in Halifax,
who have been pursuing the minister for
two years, barely escaped with his de-
posit. Mr. Fielding has a majority of
1,016 in a total vote of scarcely 4,000
The total vote was: Fielding, 2,619;
Weldon, 1,503. Tho electors of Queen's
and Shelbourne resented the campaign
of slander and misrepresentation con-
ducted by the Tory party. They `have
vindicated Mr. Fielding, and in honor-
ing him they have honored themselves.
Forecasts are made of political condi•
tions in the Dominion by 1916, and the
question is asked, s hat will Ontario,
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces do
when the representation for the coun-
try laying west of . Ontario shall be
the dominating factor at Ottawa? If
there should be the same proportionable
increase in the next five as in, the last
five years, Manitoba would then have a
population of 700,000, Saskatchewan of
1,500,000, Alberta of 1,000,600 or over,
and Bri ish Columbia of 500,000. The
problem rs a large and complex one, for it
is not to be supposed that the older
Provinces will consent to take back
seats in the government of the Domin-
ion without a struggle, or at Ieast an
attempt to readjust the representation.
We venture to say that Canada has
outgrown the Imperial organic act,
ander which she was confederated, and
to predict that a new British North
America act will shortly be found
necessary to meet conditions.—Indian

MUNICIPAL QUESTIONS.
As will be Been from the reading of
the proceedings of the Town Council on
Monday evening, anumber ot important
matters were up for disoussion.
The most important was the proposi-
tion from Mr..-7Wm. Dare, in ask-
ing for n loan of $5,C00 for tea years
without interest, in return for which he
would enlarge his carriage factory and
make other improvements to the extent
of some $8,000 and would give employ-
ment to 25 or 30 workmen. This ap-
pears to us one of the most worthy pro-
positions that leas ever been brought be -
for the ratepayers of the town. Mr.
Dore has been a resident of Wingham
for many years and is well known as a
man of the highest integrity. He has
succeeded in establishing a business far
beyond the capacity of his present es-
tablishment, and bas been compelled to
refuse large orders for lack of facilities
and room fer turning oat the work. The
loan will not mean very much to the
ratepayers of the town in the way of in-
creased taxation, but the giving of em-
ployment to extra workmen will mean
considerable to the business men,, pro-
perty owners and in fact to all our citi-
zens. Any movement that tends to in-
crease the manufacturing output of the
town cannot fail to be of beuefit to every
citizen. And this is what this place
needs at the present time. We feel bare
the ratepayers will vote favorably on this
matter in January.
Another matter to be voted on by the
ratepayers next January is the question
of whether the electric light and water
works departments shall be placed und-
er the management of three commis-
sioners io be elected by the people or to
remain under the management of the
Council. This is a question that re-
quires careful consideration. The com-
mission system has worked we11 in some
towns and cities, while in others it is
said to have been a failure. The TIMES
has always been of the opinion that if
these two important departments were
planed ander the control of three com-
missioners there would be more satis-
factory results. These two questions
should be thoroughly discussed by the
ratepayers before the vote is taken.
Would it not be well to have two or
more public meetings held before elec•
tion day and in this way get the views
of our townspeople on these and other
important matters?
The question ot eetsblishing a market
in Wingham has been discussed time and
again for a number of years and now
that the Board of Trade and Retail Mer
chants Association have taken hold of
the matter and requested the Council to
make a move, there will likely be some-
thing definite done. The question was
on Monday evening referred to a com-
mittee who will report in due time. l he
Tines has always been of the opinion
that a market should be established in
Wingham. We advocated the establish-
ing of a market some few years ago and
were then told by many people that it
would not be a success in Wingham.
Wo are still of the opinion that this town
should have a market. A number of
our townspeople are • opposed to the
market, but matters of this kind should
be dealt with in a manner that will be
satisfactory and profitable to the major-
ity of the townspeople.
The establishing of an all night elec-
tric light service has been delayed for
the present. This is a thing that will
have to come at no distant date. If the
light users are willing to pay for the
extra service the conncil should give it.
In fact we are of the opinion that with a
little' effort a day service could be put on
a paying basis. Many of the places in
town would put in electric motors for
power purposes. Let the question of es-
tablishing a continuous electric service
be considered by our Town Councillors
and the ratepayers.

EACH MEAL AN AGONY
Dr. Wiliiamn' Pink Pills Cure Obsti-
nate Indigestion After Other
Medicines Fail.
"Wheu I was first troubled with in-
digestion I did not bother with it, I
thought it would pass away naturally.
But instead of doing so it developed in-
to a painful chronic affection, which in
spite of all I did grew worse and worse
until I had abandoned all hopes of ever
getting relief." These words of Mrs.
Ohas McKay, of Norwood, N.S., should
s3rve as a warning to all who suffer
dtstreae after meals, with palpitation,
drowsiness and lose of appetite—early
warning of more serious trouble to
follow.
"I used to rise in the morning," said
Mrs. MoKay, "feeling no better for a
night's rest. I rapidly lost flesh and
after even the most frugal meal I al-
ways Buffered severe pains in my stom-
ach. I out my meals down to a few
mouthfuls, but even then every morsel
of food caused agony. My digestion
was so weak. Some days I could scar-
cely drag myself about the house, and I
was never free from sharp piercing pains
in the back and chest. 1 grew so bad
that I had to limit my diet to milk and
soda water, and even this ceased severe
suffering. In vain I sought relief —all
medicines I took seemed us: tea Bat
in the darkest hour of my : y ffering help
name. While reading newspaper I
came aoross a cur tha 'was quite Simi-
lar to my own ca::, . ought by the use
• of Dr. Williams' .•' ' Pills. I thought
if another perso• had been cured by
these pills of such suffering as I was ex•
perienoing, surely there was hope for
me, and I at once sent to the druggist
for a supply of these pills. The first in-
diestion that the pills were helping me
was the disappearance of the feeling of
oppression. Then I began to take solid
food with but little feeling of distress. I
still continued taking the pills with an
improvement every day, until I could
digest all kinds of food without the least
trouble or distress. I am in splendid
health to•day and all the credit is due to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills go right to
the root of indigestion and other troubles
by making rich, red blood which tones
and strengthens every organ of the body.
That is why they cure anaemia, with all
its headaches and backaches, and side -
aches. rheumatism and neuralgia' and
the special ailments of growing girls and
women of all ages, Sold by all medicine

Toronto, Nov. 6—The run at the City
Cattla Market today was 34 loads, with
1,210 heal of cattle, 2,300 sheep and
lambs, 300 hogs, and 109 naives.
The market generally was about steady
to -day at last week's prices. There was
a light run but the looal butcher trade
hue been pretty well supplied of late,and
there was no great rash for oattle today,
What few ohoioe butcher cattle were on
hand were soon pinked out, and the top
prices paid. After there was not mach
life to the market, and common stuff
was going at easy prices, though not
receding quotably lower.
The export trade is very quiet, very
few in thia plass offering, and not much
stook offering. There is said to be uo
vessel space available, the large shipping
firms in the West having practically
cornered -all available space.
The market for feeders is fairly acg ve
several of the latest buyers being still in
the market, though several of them, it is
said, are about filled up. Prices are
steady for good feeders.
Sheep and lambs are steady.
The hog market is steady at last
week's deoline.
