Van Home on Recent Suspensions, London, June 20--Sir William Van Horne takes exception to the at- tempt that has been made here to saddle Canada with some of the res- pousibilities for recent suspensions. "The fallure of some London people to secure control of the Grand Trunk and the attendant results of that fail- ure," says Sir Willam, "have been charged to Canada, I fall to see possible connection between this cir- cumstance and Canadian conaitions. Grand Trunk securities ave been mainly confined to the London stock exchange ever since I ean remember, and the failure of sueh attempt by speculators here in London might just as well reflect upon Seuth Africa or Australia as upon Canada. There is no real scarcity of money in Can- ada for legitimate business," added Sir William. "While there has been over-speculation in city properties in the east as well as in the west, I do not:think that values have gone be- yond what is justified by the great development which has taken place.'

The week has demonstrated that they are thoroughly alarmed at the prospect of the temperance party winning eut.. Early in the eampaign they took the matter as a joke, but soon changed their opinions when they found a stead march of temperance men king out of thie conservative ranks to ald in the wiping out of the bars of the province. Everywhere through On- tario there has been a won- derful development of senti- ment, and men who have long stood for temperance are forsaking party, to show to the world that they are true to what they believe is in the best interests of the country Within the past two days, to ofiset the tethperance senti- ment, all sorts of canards are being resorted to, the chief being the bi-lingual school question. They distort Mr. Rowell's attitude on the question, though they do not dare sel forth the views of Whitney, Reaume and Foy on the issue. Mr. Rowell has taken the position from the first that English must be the first consideration, that after- wards the mother tongue might be taught. With all due regard to the best inter- ests of the country, English, however, must be the pre- dominant language of the schools, In Kingston, as elsewhere, there is only one feature prominent in the campaign, and this is the desire for the wiping out of the bars, The people are firm for it, and another week's campaign will but add to the number that will stand for sobriety and the protection of the home and young manhood. yp be Windstorm Blew Barn Down.

Before he went to the proper place to spend the money he went to a barroom and began to drink freely.

He was called upon to pay a fine of $1 and costs, and this with the license fee cost him $8.50, so it was quite an expensive affair for the young man. A Dry Camp Indeed.
