There niay be, and probably will be, some conservative gains in' Ontario and British Colum- bia, and, perhaps, in the maritime provinces, but it would not be surprise ing if reciprocity were to sweep Al- berta ahd Saskatchewan for the gov- ernment, and wrest two or three Manitoba seats from the opposition. As for Quebec, it seems certain that the nationalist campaign will cut down the government's big majority in that province; but the nationalists who will displace liberal members in the commons would not be a source of strength to Mr. Borden.

Aug, 3.---Daniel White, a citizen of Brockville, Ont., has been in this city in an effort to ascertain the whereabouts of his moth- er, Mrs. White, who came here about a month ago. Since her visit here nothing has been seen or heard of her and the son in Brockville is anxious to locate her. The case is a peculiar one. Another son, . Anthony, also eof Brockville, came to Watertown four years ago for employment. The past year failed to communicate with his mother and a month ago she came here to locate him. That was the last that Daniel White heard of his mother and brother. He has been here and interésted friends in the search but without results. The mat ter has not been reported to the po- lice department. ---------------------- . Benefit of Reciprocity. Toronto Farmers' Sun, The American markets proved of un- told value to, Canadian farmers under the reciprocity treaty of 1854, It was of immense advantage even under the moderate American tariff that prevail- ed unti] 1888. It" would be vastly more beneficial now because meantime the food consuming population of the United States has grown out of all proportion to the food producing population. The cities of Chicago, Port. Huron, Detroit; Cleveland, To. ledo, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Roches ter and New York have meantime mul tiplied their population over and over again. The great iron and coal indus- tries of Pennsylvania have been devel oped. All these great centres are within reach by 'phone from Canadian farms. The produce of these farms can be collected one day and turned into cash the next. In the face of a duty of twenty-five per cent. the most valuable car of horses taken out of Durham county, last vear were sold in New York. A slight reduction in "the duty on cream caused Onfario'™s ex ports of dairy produgts to the United States to jump from a mere nothing to some $3,000,000 in a few months. Even in the lines in which it was feared injury might be caused there will be benefit as shown by the fact that American buyers have scoured all Ontario this season for berries and cherries, despite a duty of one cent per quart on the former and twenty- five per cent. on the latter, with which to supply American demand. Yellow Journalism in Canada. Hamilton Times. Here is a specimen of a very disgrace ful kind of journalism from Cotton's Weekly, Cowansville, Que. : During September 100,000 people will die of the plague in India. At the present time 20,000 a week are dying and 'the plague increases in yirulence during the cold weather, ™ plague wiped out if the money that is wast' ed on George V werd used to fight it. George V is a gentleman who walks amid death and plague happy only when he is the central figure of waste and extravagance.' When the parasites use their favor- ite expression: to show their loyalty; t 0: not. say all they mean. If they did this is how the expression would run, "The king, God bless him. And damn humanity."
