Cme Early on Sunday morning last fire was discovered in Wiarton, and before the brigade could put in any effective work the flames had got beyond their control and most of the business portion of the town was' completely destroyed. Dry wooden sheds and outhouses furnished fuel for the devouring element, and very little could be done to stop its ravages. The losses are heavy and the insurance light. The garden party in conne'ctionl \th-the Baptist Church, hold on the' groumls' of Mr. Ben. Warner last Thursday evening was numerically a grand success, and we judge pro- portionately so from a financial standpoint. The evening was cloudy and threatened rain, but for all, a number from Orchardville and places outside put inan appearance and en- joy ed themselves fully. We must say they were vex x: liberal with their refreshments. ' The grounds were beautifully liglltwl with electricity, two rows having bwn put in for the occasion.

Their alien labor laws prevent our working men from lgetting employment, only on most l unequal terms. The one thing now l that they can do is to cut 01! our l mutual bonding privileges and deny the transportion of our goods . over American lines. Annexation is .lwhat they want, but annexation is 4111:: one thing they’ll never get. l l The Klondyke mining district is now “exciting their jealousy and their ”greed and some of the blustering Dâ€"vvâ€"v ortzans, knowing we should retaliate, : threaten us with national annihil- . ation if we deny their navvies and miners the same rights as Canadians. Some time ago we heard a good deal from our Federal government at Ottawa about retaliatory legislation. Now a threat comes from the other side of the line. and a favorable opportunity is oflorded to put their lindependence to the test. Surely the loud talk of the past year is not ‘ going to remain as mere gas; surely. the patriotic sentiments expressed durino: this jubilee year will show Canadians to be made of sterner stuil than to submit the thraldom under which the United States new wishes to place them. The time has f come when an opportunity is afiordw ed to assert our national pride, patriotism and self reapect. The I better class of American papers are I not blind to the unjust and iniquit- l ous legislation of the United States. ' to Canadian interests. The Phila- 3 delphia Record says:-â€"â€"“Citizens 3 might be multiplied to Show the un- â€"-_A_ generous Spirit that prevades recent American legislation affecting aliens. Indeed the pending tariff Bill is con- fessedly intended to injure foreign industri 11 workers; and the ex- clusion by Canada of American miners from her gold‘éfields would be but a feeble retort to that iniquitous measure.” THE W. C. T. U. are contributors p to this paper but owing to lack of t space we are forced sometimes to t give their items the “go by” for a b week or so. Their mission is a labor 1 of love and their efforts to save the a boys. is one that commends itself to a all. We are in sympathy with them t because we know they are right 1. and actuated by honest t desires to do good. Every- c body admits the righteousness of the , work in which they are engaged. 1 We must however, be liberal enough to grant to those engaged in the liquor traffic the rights and privileges, allowed them by law. They should echct this; they should expect nothing more. The new license act which came into force on the first inst. recognizes too the advisability, we may sav the necessity of denying to boys the rights to indulge in intoxicants. We believe drunken- ness, is the creature of habit. or the offspring of heredity. A person reach- ing the age of twenty-one years . without forming evil habits may be ; considered safe. One possessed of inherited tendencies is never safe. ' and we believe may break out at any time.

The Western Fair, London, is again to the front and is providing further accomodation and improve- ments to their already excellent buildings, necessiated by the increase of entries last year in these depart- ments. The Directors of this time-honored Show have had sufficient experience to know the prOper course to pursue in maintaining the proud position the \Vestern now enjoys as The Live Stock and Agricultural Fair of Cane. da. Twenty-nine years have passedl away since the Western Fair was established, Each and every year since has been marked by advance- ments. This annual improvement is largely due to the thoughtfulness and care of the management and the fact that the agricultural interests are given first place. _ 1 ‘I 1‘ struction for the coming Fair.
