It will probably run in five issues after which it will appear in book form ....... In connection With the above an able Tomnto critic, in his review of “Cleopa,” says : “ The damnable practice of slavery is one that Yields mmy excellent subjects for the poet, the dra- matist and the novelist, and your plot brings on clearly the horrible inhumanity of the custom, backed as it was by ‘ divines ’ and so- called divine authority. On the whole I xegard ‘Cleopa’ as very beautifully showing this”. . . . A very competent literary man of Lindsay writes to Mr. McDonnell, the author, as fol- lows: “ I don’t know how Ican thank you sufficiently for your kindness in permitting me to read your ‘Cleopa.’ There are so many truths expressed in truthful numbers that I can only express my delight that we have in our midst one who is possessed of the divine amatus. as is shewn in your Cleopa.” Other approving notices could be added, so look out for the commencement of the poem of “Cleopa” in Tm: \VATCHMAN next week. The elections are a great surmise to the whole countrv, but it sinks into insignifi- cence when compared to the surprise that awaits those who are attending the big sale of the Army and Xayy .Clotgjng‘Cq's: stock, now roaring at the \Vonderfui Cheap Men's, and judging from the rush he is having and the happy and contented smile on Mr. Gough‘s face, victor is cer- tainly perched on his banner. or our part we do not wonder at it. nor can any thoughtful man wonder, for the push, pluck and perseverance Mr. Gough dis lays in offering this great Bargain- nefit Sale to the Fublic is nothing short ofa business marve . There is no uncertain sound about Mr. Gouzh's announcement. The sign on his store, which is the Jar est ever erected in Canada, covering ‘,000 square feet, speaks for itself. “Prices cut in two," that's what it says; and the prices are cut in twoâ€"so say those who have attended the great sale of the Army and Navy Clothing Co's. stock, which Mr. Gough bou ht at 53 cents on the dollar. No doubt it sachmce of a. life time to buy cheap, and to the thoughtful bargain- hunters we ‘would call attention to his halt-page advertisement in this issue. Great is Gough and great in the bargains he is giving the public at the big sale of the Army and Navy 10001:. â€"â€"Mr. \V. E. Ramsay gave most interesting entertainments in the Academy on hiday and Saturday evenings. Cinematograph views, story telling and songs make up the program. The views deal especxally with the jubilee pro~ cession and are particularly clear and life-like. Mr. Ramsay’s songs and stories were admirable and merited much bilge: houses. ' â€"The Robertson~Douglas companv gave a fine rendering of “The Man m the Iron Mask” before a very fair house on Tuesday night. This play is a companion to “The Three Guardsmen” and among the finest work from the pen of Dumas. - It deals with the most interesting period of French history and vividly nonrays the splendor and misery of the reign ol Louis XIV. The first two acts are bright and interesting, but of :0 un- common strength. The capers of a frivolous waiting maid created a levity at times that is wholly unaccountable at that stage of the play. Before the last scene the tremendous - -- --_.__.i..:... Amnnccnrpa m. play. u: nu \- n-u -_.- strain on the sympathies demonstrated the author’s skill even in the. From the time the imperious Louis condemns his unknown twin brother to wear an iron mask as prisoner in the Bastile because of his resemblance to the king, the interest. and power of this traged} grows steadily to an awful climax.

A belief in immortality is essential to its closing scenes. This is a. feature that deserves mention as showing a decided improvement to the stage.

He gulIOped pretty much over all the streets in his immediate vicinity, and after developing a furious pace on Kent- st. was overhauled and returned to the two scued boys he had left sitting in a light sleigh on \Villiam-st. He was damaged so badly that Mr. T. has had him on dry dock ever. since. â€"-â€"On Friday evening Messrs. Murphy and Riley were driving around town after a spirited horse. As they were turning into Kent-st. at Brooks’ hotel the band began to play and the frightened horse bolted. His intentions were thwarted by a telephone pole, which felled him to the ground. In his fall he lit on in hitching post which penetrated his body iust back of the ribs, xmking an awful wound. The animal had been under treatment for heart trouble for several weeks, and this injury is likely to c Luse its death. --As Mr. Timothy Callaghan of Downey- ville was driving down the hill of Kent-St. east toward the mill, the whifl‘ietrecs striking the heels of his spirited team caused them to run away. They had not gone far when the sleigh struck a wood~pile and Mr. Callaghan was thrown violently against it, cutting a nasty gash in the back of his head. The horses proceeded in their wild career till they were caught near the old pump house. The injured man’s wounds were dressed by Dr. Shier. and though badly shaken up, will be around again before long. [Tun Wncuua iantes its tendon found in m y items of a mom! nature (or this column.

Fuller returns indicate that the Hardy government is not in such straits as was supposed when we went to press last week. A few places that were doubtful then through incomplete returns, have elected supporters of Mr. Hardy, and as as nearly as we can judge since the official count on Friday the above figures represent the present: poiitical complexion of the province. It may be said that the Patron, Mr. Tucker of W. Wellington, will sup ort Mr. Whitney and Mr. Bestty. the ndepend- ent member for Owen Sound, will take his place behind Mr. Hardy, so that the non-partisan vote will be evenly divided, and not afl'ect the relative strength of government and opposition. The election for Russel, the vacant seat, takes place (J1 the 18th inst, and while it is claimed‘ by Conservatives as a probable gain for them, the fact that it was Reform by: nearly 800 last election justifies the; Liberal hope of another supporter from‘ there. There will probably be several; re-counts. A re-count is only possible: where a majority is less than 50. The; Liberals have six and the Conservatives seven in this list, the letter having a few with a very narrow margin. It is im-i possible. however, that the strength of 1 either side will be afi'ected much in this way. Protests are threatened in some xidiugs, but this is too remote to be con- sidered at present. In 1883 Mr. Mowst had his majority cut down to 8, but as time went on he gained in bye- electione and other ways till his support was quite ample. Whether Mr. Hardy can do likewise remains to be seen. xorns. â€" Mr. Fox’s official majority is 72. â€"â€"-The remarks of Mr. Moore’s dogs at the Opera house meeting: seemed to suit 1 the crowd exactly. â€"â€"Tnia e!ection has stirred up the least bitterness of any for a. long time. Victors and vanquished have showed that poll- ticians can be gentlemen still. ~Groupe of smiling boriee were sunning themselves on every corner the day after the election. They were an much in evidence on that occasion as they were out of sight on a. certain cold clay in June two years ago. ”When the defeat of the Hardy srovernment seemed certain on the evening of election day a tired Refozmer was heard explaining to his mate that there would be a “collision” govern- ment: if Hardy got left.

When a man takes up nearly any leading political paper and wants to find out the news he is greeted with such mis- representation and mud-slinging that it. is no wonder if he becomes an independent or quits politics emirely. When apnblish’er uses his columns to boom a. party instead of stating the facts the average man ceases to be interested. The people want the facts, not the editor’s distorted and rehashed veqeion of them. When they have. them they are intelligent enough to form an opinion quite as good for their purpose as the newspaper man’s. The mock zeal and nauseating bitter- ness of the pmty press is making independents faster than anything else. GOVERNMENT. . . . .. OPPOSITION..... . .. PATRON..........‘ INDEPENDENT .. .
