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 Head Vidette.

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.

There was almost a fnll attendance of the Board and in all about thirty persons were present.

"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.

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.

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. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 the.
