Canadian nationality. In the course we have followed, we have endeavored to treat our opponents with proper con- sideration, and have demanded like treatment for friends and opponents on the part of others. The bitterness of party journalism has rendered politi- cal life scarcely tolerable to the men whom the public ask to serve them. True as the charge is unfortunately when applied to the party press gener- ally, it will be admitted that this com-l munity sufl'ered for several years from 1 a species of journalism that can only be described as unique in its ruflianism. To the task of rooting out this species Our Fifth Anniversary. WITH this issue the WATCIIMAN enters upon its fifth year of publication, and we would marl: the occasion by an expression of sincere thanks to our patrons for the liberal encouragement we have received at their hands. The latter has been far beyond our expecta- tions when We entered upon the field of independent journalism four years ago. The circulation of the WATCHMAN has now gone up into the thousands and is ‘ constmriy increasing, which we mayl fairLY interpret as evidence that our con so as a whole has met with thel approval of a large and import-antl section of the community. The fact that the “'ATCHMAN is now an “ estab- lished in~:titution "’ is also proof, that, there is room in the community for al journal whose attitude on local ques- tiOns as we]. as on political affairs is not shaped to meet the exigencies of any political party. In municipal matters We have fearlessly supported the men Whovn we considered best fitted to serve the public, Without regard to any other ‘ cansiderations, political, sectarian, or ’ otherwise. In politics, we have given 1 the liberal-conservative party an in- 1 dependent support, because we believe 1 that to the progressive polisy of the I leaders of that party in the past is due 1 the splendid record of advancement in E all the departments of national life, c which the Dominion has made since t Confederation; and because we believe a that the policy of the party today is c the only policy that can be safely 0 adopted, having in view the building '3 up upon this continent of a British 0 Canadian nationality.

It is to - be regretted that a larger number of . our property owners did not attend the I public meeting last Thursday evening, to hear the whole matter fully dis- cussed, and the necessary explanations S in regard to the various details. As it was, however, there was a fairly sized audience present, and a number of our prominent citizens expressed their views upon the advisability of enter- , taining the proposition ot the Gurd- .i Brandon Company. The result of the l 1 l :nieeting was a unanimous verdict in A i ‘ itavor of granting the bonus. It was pointed out that the time has arrived t | u I when i: is absolutely necessary to secure ,1 the establishment of additionalfactories lin Lindsay, in order to increase the l ,lpopulation and retain the young and s ii‘ising generation in our midst. The l trade of the large country district S tributary to Lindsay has been secured a by the (lifTerent branches of railway 1} iconstructcd. The limit of population, i: 9so far as the trade of the surrounding 0 ’district can determine it, has evidently " 7 been reached.

There has been no interna- ' tional bonspiel between Canada and the ‘ United States for a good many years, and the attendance from both sides of the line is likely ‘ to be very heavy, The forth~ coming bonspiel is the outcome of an ar- rangement made at the great convention of curling clubs of the United States and Canada, held here in the summer of 1890. ‘ There was a conference at that time be-' tween representatives of the Grand Na- tional Curling Club’ and of the Ontario branch of the Royal Curling Club of Cana- da. This conference fixed conditions and terms of an international bonspiel to be held once in every five years, alternately in Canada and the United States, the first to be held in Canada, commencing Janu- ary 7. There will be as many rinks of Canadian culers on hand as will be sufli- ‘ cient to oppose the visitors, and it is ex- pected here that the visitors will include at least a hundred rinks, which with a bun- dred from this side to oppose them, will make a total of 800 culers engaged in the match. Of the visiting rinks it is probable about sixty will come from the east and THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, __.--__ n-av VAPIUJlUIII LATERâ€"The Castle officials state that after the first feeling: of alarm had passed away the consequences of the explosicn were found to be less serious than they had feared. An expenditure of a few pounds, they say will repair the damage. The Privy Council met as usual after the explosion. thing,r in the cellar was blown to atoms, but. it is hoped Colonel Majendle will be able to determine what articles were used. This. once decided beyond doubt, might furnish the police with a clue as.to the perpetrators of the outrage. Frederick J. Cullinan. one of the principal clerks 1n the office. of the Cheif Secretary for he land, had a very narrow escape from meeting,' instant death by the explosion. The ceilixgs of the two floors above the seller were blown to pieces, the heavy beams in some places being torn into small pieces. The furniture in the otlice beneath the Privy Council Chamber Was Completely smashed and destroyed. It was a fortunate thing that the workmen employed in making the improvements had quit work and were away to their dinner. The clerk in charge of the oilice was also absent at the time the explosion occurred. Had it been otherwise there is no doubt there would have been serious loss of life. The affair has created conster- ‘ nation among the people living near it and etnploycd about. the Castle. The Earl of Zetland, late in the after-neon vistted the scene, and expressed surprise at the terifie energy of the explosion. He aISo expressed satisfaction that nobody had lost his life. As Soon as the authorities Were satisfied that the explosion was not an accident they telegraphed to London, sunnnoning to their assistance Col. V. D. Majendle, tier Majesty’s chief inspector 1of explosives. Sir Charles Alexander Cameron. inspector of CXpUSiVCS in this city, declares from his investigation that the explosion was caused by a large QUANTITY OF GUN-COTTON. It was evident that it was the intention of l the author or authors of the explosion to destroy the Privy Council Chamber. A meeting of the l’tivy Council was to have been held on Thursday night, and it is supposed that the miscreants made some miscalculation in their arrangements for fixing the explosion. This was a very fortunate matter for the Privy Council, for if the explosion had taken place when that body was in session it Would have resulted in widespread loss of life. Of course, there are no means of determining how the exploswn was fixed, as every- .I ' ‘ .I I! 1 . LONDON, January 1.-â€"The authorities and others who know the facts about the explosion in Dublin Castle on Thursday, displayed much reticenee in furnishing infornmtion regarding the explosion, but the latest details tlmt can be learned show that the Jilliir has eVery appearance of beingr the net: of some misereut or mis- creants seeking revenge for persoxml or political reasons. It is known now that the explosion occurred in the Cellar. It; has not as yet. been ascertained what the explosion was, but it is believed that. the police lmve knowledge that it. Was either dynamite or nitro-glycerine. The damage to the Castle was much greater than \ms at; first stated. agricultural sections of the riding, which goes to show that the policy of unrestricted reciprocity is not gaining in favor with the farmers of the country, the longer it is Studied by them or dis cussed before them. The trade question and the corruption cry were the leading issues upon which the campaign was fought out. Sir Richard Cartwright on the one side and Sir John Thompson and Hon. 0. H. Tupper on the other generalled the debate, which is a guar- antee that these questions were ably and fully discussed. The verdict given by the farmers of Lanark is that they have no faith in the policy of unre- stricted reciprocity, but that they have faith in the Government of Mr. Abbott :in spite of the disclosures of wrong- doing in certain departments of the Civil Service, on account of the prompt measures adopted to correct these abuses. The result in North Lanark is a severe bl ow to u'ir Richard Cart- i wright, in View of the large number of bye-elections that are shortly to take place. No Clue as to the Perpetrators.

Manâ€"An Important Decision ' PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.â€"'l.‘he Supreme : Court to-day decided that a‘saloon-keeper , is liable for damages in the case of injur- . ies received resulting from the sale of \ liquor to intoxicated persons. The , decision of the court was rendered in the suit of Cam-line Davis against Felix Mc- Knight, a. saloon-keeper. appealed frmn , the decision of the Common Pleas Courtl of Allegheny County, to recover damages for her husband’s death. The allegation of the plaintiff was that the defendant sold her husband liquor until he became intoxicated, and that in consequence he fell into a gutter full of water, and there- by contracting pneumonia, from which he died. The jury gave Mrs. Davis substan- tial damages, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Cdurt. The defence made by the saloon-keeper was that liquor was not the proximate cause of death, and that what Davis drank he drank voluntarily. In sustaining the verdict the Supreme Court holds that the verdict of the jury is conclusive upon the first point, and says upon the second :-â€"The contention that the voluntary taking of liquor by the deceased while intoxicated. and being at the time of known intemperate habits. was such a contributory negligence upon his part as would prevent a. recovery by the plaintiff will not bear examination. Such a ruling would practically destroy the Act of the Assembly. Every drunk- ‘ ard not only takes liquor voluntarily. but whenever he can get it, and because of his weakness the law makes the saloon-keeper responsible for selling to such persons. l He has not the Will, hcwever, to resist the temptation. and for this reason the sale to I him is forbidden.
