S- J Dr. Washington, the celebrated and suc- cessful specialist forseases of the head, throat. and lungs, has adopted` the most scientic and natural method of treatment known at the present time for the above diseases. In orderto be fully abreast ef the times the doctor visits the large Ampri- can cities, as New iork. Boston, and ` Philadelphia, every few months, for the pur- pose of gaining a knowledge of the lstesit and very best improvements in the treatment of throat and lung diseases, and such as pur- sued by the highest specialists in the United States and Europe. l)r. Washington is well known as a most successful specialist all over Untario and the eastern provinces, and in several cities in the United States, from which he has in his possession hundreds of letters of grateful acknowledgment for the benefits derived from his treatment. He has patients in New York, Rochester, Cali- fornia, etc. etc. He has secured a medical gentleman of the highest standin in the profession, a member of the Roy colle of surgeons of England, who thorouahy understands all the details of this special treatment to assist him. Dr. Washingwn has now opened a permanent oice at 8'2 McCaul street, Toronto, where either him- self or his colleague may be found during otiice hours, vis.. 9 to ll am., 1 to 4 -and 7 | to Spin. '.lhe doctor will visit Kingston personally as he is fully sensible to the fact that not even his distinguished colIeague,Dr. Sanderson, can till a position satisfactorily so long held by him in the confidence of the ople of Kingston and vicinity. therefore iii.

This issue will, therefore. amount to $109,150,000, which is $`22,(XX),- 000 more than the present obligations amounting to $87,428,436. The Canadian Pacific company will be congratulated on all hands if it can increase its capital so mater- ially without any increase in its liabilities. It is quite clear, however, that as the con- version of the mortgage bonds of the com-. pany will not come within the region of practical finance for years, as the dates at which they mature are very distant, the real purpose of the company in asking for the passage of this bill is to he found in section 2 lo) of clause 3, which, if this act is passed, will empower the company to issue, in addition to the above, debenture stock to the extent of 82,.')()0 per mile of all its roads for the purpose of building railways, eleva- tors, sidings, workshops, wharves and so forth. As the mileage of the Canadian Pacic roads is new five thousand, this clause will empower the company to borrow about twelve million five hundred thousand dollars. This amount of stock at four per cent. interest would increase the fixed charges by another half a million of dol lars. Yet, as the schedule attached to bill shows, the fixed charges already amount to 8-l.36.'>,000, while the net earnings of the company for I888, as given in the company`s monthly returns, amounts to only $3,870,000, or a deficit of nearly half a million of dollars. In this con- nection it is to be remarked that compared with the last annual report, that of 1887. the schedule in the bill shows an increase in fixed charges of about $1,000,000 a year. Another extraordinary section is 2 (c) of clause 3, whit. Ii will enable the company to issue additional consolidated debenture stock to the amount of $30,000 per mile `for the construction or lcquiellloll of any branch railway, or extension which the company is authorised to construct or acquire in connec- tion_with. any railway held or operated by it. The company are simply asking for carts blanche to `acquire or construct` at pleasure. 'lhe government may, as has been pointed out time and again, have to take over the whole Canadian Pacific railway. The question. therefore, arises whether under these circumstances it is safe or pru- dent to give the company carts blanche to enlarge its system to almost any extent and at a cost which an hardly be said to be limit.s.d by anything except its own discre- tion. * 1-: . I_,AL__- Curiosity has been excited in the public mind as to what the desires of the Canada Pacic syndicate are in the shape of special legislation. This curiosity has beeninten- sitied by the announcement telegraphed from Ottawa that the bill presented by one of the members of the house has been with- drawn at the suggestion of the government in order that its provisions and probable effects may be fully considered. The most concise statement of facts is set forth by the Montreal Witnus, which, editorially criti- cizing the bill. says : ul\'L..u pl... ............... ...L Inn run: in lhn AIJVBIII lalmulnu nun , Fox-lour lines. so! two insertions ....

They are generally supposed to conduct a spirited campaign in the interest of A party or a candidate, but when it is over the re- ward is simply the consciousness of duty perfoimerl.
