Vote {or Richardson, and help to turn out the present gang of corrup- tionists, who stand condemned to- dey by the utterances of Mr. Cook, one of their own party, whose political escutcheon is unenliied by a firm adhesion to the true principles oi Liberelism. s s at Mr, Cook has no axe to grind; he is not lesving his party ; he has no personsl cause for resentment sgsinst his party leaders; he is not s disappointed ofice seeker; he has naked (or no Isvors; he will not join the Conservstive party. His letter is‘the plsin ststtnent of an honest msn, written with the hope of epon- ing the eyes of the good men of his psrty. and showing how they are drifting rspidly away from Liberal principles, from the principles of honor sud honesty. It is written by degradation of his party, and we hepe to rescue at least some brands from the burning. It is written in sorrow, not in anger. by one who feels it to be his duty as an honeSt man, and as a man who has, during his whole public career, been one of the strongest supporters of the Lib- eral party and one of the strongest fighters [or the Liberal principles which has been trampled under foot by the present party leaders.â€"Ham- ilton Spectator. Right now on the eve of the elec- tion, it is thought an opportune time to make mountains out of mole hills and misrepresent anything and everything that will influence the pepular vote. and destroy the chances of the candidate. Information has just come to this ofice of an effort now being put forth by a Liberal heeler, trying. but we believe in vain. to trump up a charge against Mr. Richardson for endeavoring to do away with the present system of statute labor. The charge is as false as we hope it will be futile, and we trust the intelligent electors of this country are not going to be gulled hy unprincipled sycoyhants whose fawning subserviency will cause them to stop at no measures in order to gain their ends. Now, we happen to know someo‘ thing about this Statute Labor ques- ‘ tion. and though referred to some time ago in these columns, we shall do so again briefly to give the elec. ‘ tors a little of the truth and save Mr. Richardson from the aspersions that are now being circulated against him. Mr. Richardson never propose ed nor advocated the abolition of statute labor, a matter with which in any event, the Dominion Parlia-; ment has nothing to do. While in the County Council Mr. Richardson did institute the Good Roads Move- ment. which had for its aim the better administration of Statute La- bor, and reforms in the system. by which better and larger results may be had for the outlay of public money and labor. The wide Spread approv- al of this movement shows the wis- dom of Mr. Richardson as the origin- ator. Other counties have taken up the idea. a County convention was held to consider and discuss it, and to-day the electors may IOJOiCO in the good results already produced, and likely to be continued. Mr. Richardson and others inter- eeted the lenders of the Provincial Government on the question of giv~ in; end mninteining roads to n high- er etnndard of excellence. and suc- ceeded in getting I. promise from the Honornhle Geo. W. Roes that his Government would expend a million dollsre in improving the roede of the Province within the next ten yeere at the rete oi 9100.000 a yenr. Agnin if we look at the support our mport towns and cities in the province ore getting from the Gov- ernment. we hnve no heeitetion in pronouncing it e pity that the ferm- ere should be deprived of n gignntic boon by the the nnrrow tnctice of none eheer mental nonentitiee, who resort toenoh Intel! talk to bolster up n rotten cenee, u the more inteli- gent peopie of their own petty be- lieve it to be. Thie is as nearly as can be told in n few words ihe ponition Mr. Rich- nrdeon occupies on the Statute Labor end Good Ronda question. and should ever the promise of Premier Ross mutinlize, the people of South Grey con look with pride upon the fact eh“ one of their own men was the ineuguruor of the Good Ronda move- n nxcnunsqn AND GOOD W. Irwin, Editor and 25th, 1900 Last week it was H. H. Cook‘sl voice that sounded from the ranks. of the Liberal party denouncing with no uncertain sound the mal-adminis' tration. and utter disregard of the old principles of Liberalism {or which the party contended ever since the days of Confederation. This was a severe blow to the party, however lightly it may be treated by the Liberal press and the Liberal aspirv ants, who are seeking the suflrages of the people for a continuation of their services in the House of Como mons. Though the denunciations of Mr. Cook, as shown in our last issue. are in line exactly with the warning uttered all along by the Conserva- tive party and the Conservative press. he is not the only one amongst the Liberals to denounce wrong (10' ing from the present political masters. In a letter addressed to his consti. tuency of North Norfolk, John Carleton, whose adhesion to the true Liberal policy, no one will for a moment question, we have a repeti. tion of the same want of confidence in the same party leaders. In- the course of his remarks he announces his intention of moving a resolution or two. if returned. in the line of fulfilling some of the pledges made by the Liberal leaders before the last election. He admits the pledges have not beon fulfilled, and thinks it time some action was taken toWards their fulfilment. In his appeal to the electors he practically does so as ah‘ Independen't. Usirig his own words on the attempt of Tame and others to work up a race cry he says: " The success of our experiment in attempting to create anation will, in a considerable measure depend upon the assimilation of the different races, compising our population. The population of the Cleavage will be calamitions. To all races of our pepulation, the protection of law and the enjoyment of life, liberty and property will be secured. In this respect no distinctions are made and there is no favored race. For all these benefits conferred, our coutitry has a right to ask for loyalty in re- turn. The effect likely to be pro‘ duced by the utterance of certain iFrench Canadian members of Parlia' ment in the Province of Quebec, in their attack upon the policy of incurring expenses and sending men to defend the British Empire, and in their assertion that Canada is not warranted in acting in concert with other colonies for the maintenance of Britain’s power on the world’s broad field of action is in my opinion deep. ly to be regretted.” But this doesn’t compltte the list. Others who were not so prominently identified with the party are in like manner severing their allegiance. J. R. Kerr, ofRegina, president of the Liberal Association in 1994, is out. for Mr. Davin and the Liberal Conservative party. Mr. James Hoare. writing to the Woodstock Times sayszâ€"“I have not changed on account of any per- sonal grievance, but. from convxc- tion." Mr. D. D. Darcy, of Ottawa, has resigned from the Liberal Associa- tion, and has joined the Liberal- Conservative Association. He is a merchant, and for twenty years has been one of the best Liberal workers. Mr. A. R. VanBlaricom, a staunch Liberal, writes the Picton Gazette that the Liberal party has ceased to exiSt owing to Laurier’s repudiation of the principles. It must be reformed by the repudiation of the infidllity of the leaders. Kenneth McKenzie, for fifty years one of the most reSpected Liberals in Manitoba. denounces his own party and says it is controlled by Sifton and other men, who have no regard for Liberal principles or their word. Mr. McKenzie served for many years as Liberal member for the local house and is a wealthy farmer. Ex-Alderman, Joseph Rowan. of Ottawa, has broken from the Liberal party, and joined the Liberal-Conser- vative organization. Mr. P. O’Reilly, 0! Ottawa, a strong Liberal worker, is helping Messrs. Birketc and Champagne. When asked why he had left the Liberal party, Mr, O’Reilly said he would give his reasons on a public platform the first cpportnnity. Col. Sam. Holmes, of Chatham, says ‘1 I am done with the Liberals, and I don’t care who knows it. My father was a Reformer and all his sons duti- fully followed in his footsteps, but at last the scales have fallen from my eyes, and this time I am going to vote for Mayor ‘1‘. A Smith. the Lib- eral Conservative Candid.- ate in Kent." And so the game goes on. Hun- dreds of honest Liberals, who believ- edlin the old principles of Liberalism. are leaving the present gang at Ottawa, as traitors to the long cherishe'l principles of old time Liberalism. Mr. 8. Mann. Stittsville. Carleton Co., Ont., writes : " I was sfliicted with rheumsp tism. had severe pains in the knees. hip joints end scross the heck. Rheumatism remedies did not he! me and I began using Dr. Chase’s Kidney- iver Pills which have since complete] cured 9e.

Mr. Tarte,‘in Le Journal de Paris. April 5, 1900. Allow me to say so, and allow me to repeat it,we have remained French; we are more and more so; we are more French than we were twenty years ago, and more than we were a year ago (Applause.)â€"Hon Mr.Tarte, at Rouen, France, June, 1900. We represent over there the France of Europe, and I do not think I am mistakeen in saying that. before twenty-five years we shall form the majority in North America.â€"-Hon. Mr. Tune at. Rouen, France, June, Our eyes are constantly turned to- wards you; your reverses strike us full in the breast; your success is our greatest joy. We are. certes, loyal British subjects, but. above all French. â€" Mr. Tarte,at Rouen,France. June, 1900. If one day you come, and I hape the greatest number among you will come to visit. Canada. you will see. as you ascend the great river, dis- covered by your compatriot, Jacques Cartier, the tricolour flag diaplayed above our village, because it is the National flag of French Canadians. (Loud applause.)â€"Ilcn. Mr. 'I‘artc. at. Rouen. France, June, 1900. Frank declarations {on South Afri- can war) might, arouse the suscepti- bilities of the English, without satis- fying the French.-â€"Hon. Mr. Tarte. in Le Journal de Paris, April 5, 1900. It is quite possible that. in their hearts 99 per cent. of the French- Canadians dissaprove of the war and that Canada. could have put. the money to more practical use.â€"-Hon. Mr.’l‘arte in Le Journal de Paris, April 5, 1900. Canada is much more French than it was thirty years ago. and if the tide of English immigration were to be directed elsewhere, the French- Canadians mighc recover the major- ity.-â€"-Hon. Mr. 'l‘urte, in Le Journal de Paris, April 5, 1900. He eulogised Papineau, and said he was glad to be able to inform his audience that the grandson of the patriot, M. Bourassa, now sitting in the House of Commons. was no less eager and determined than has illus- trious ancestor to preserve the na- tionalitv and uphold the rights of French-Canadians. Hon. Mr. Tarte, at Paris, June 31, 1900. I feel keenly for the suffering of your countryuof mine (France.) As a child, I wore French sabots. 3nd ip my mother’s room there was a French clock which used to toll out the hours, and is still in my possession. We sing French songs at home. Do you think that. under these condi- tions I should love yo 1r country ?â€" Hon. Mr. Tarte. in Paris Figaro in- terview, Sept. 1899. There are two millions of French peOple in Canada. On national feast days, not a house but is decorated with French colours. See the pro- vince of Quebec. It becomes more French, for French immigrants are comingin each day, and when the English are not in a majority in a country, when they are not masters. they get out.â€"~Hon. Mr. Tarte, in Paris Figaro interview, Sept. 1899. Why should London, which is on an Island, become the Centre of the world. rather than Paris, the city of civilization, of liberty, of justice ?-â€" Hon. Mr. 'l‘arte, in Paris Figaro in- terview, Sept., 1890. The question is: Shall this coun- try interfere or hold aloof from Eng~ land’s troubles ? I say, and without hesitation, that this is a question upon which no hurried decision should be given; it is not a question of money. but of principle, and be- fore the Liberal party makes up its mind as to the proper attitude to adopt, it should pause and consult Parliament.-â€" Hon. Mr. Tarte, at Montreal Reform Club, Oct. 10, 1899. I declare here if a public man in the arena of Federal politics, who has not the energy and courage to say that he is French when he be- longs to that race, it would be better for him to remain at home. I re. turn from France, where I received the care that French science can give, and I return to Canada more French than ever.-Hon. Mr. Tarte, at the Herbette banquet, Windsor Hotel, Oct. 9, 1899, I am a minister of the British Government. and I have a right to say that I am French. But I tell you this: If to declare myself a Brit- ish subject would prevent me from being French, then I would refuse to call myself a British subject. We make no threats, as the ballot box is our host defence. We are happy and free under British institutions. but France is slwsys my desr country.â€" Hon. Mr. 'I‘srte, at Herbette banquet, Windsor Hotel, Oct. 9, 1900. The vast and beautiful country known as Canada was once under the dominion of France. He spoke reâ€" gretfully oi the change from French to English rule, laying stress on the hardships endured by the French- Canadians when the English lan- guage was substituted for their own. and they were left in ignorance of the laws they were bound to obey.-- Hon. Mr. I‘arte, at Paris, June 21, ruins: Tm DUhiijm -» CHRONiéLE. He dwelt on the warmth of French-1 Canadianmfiection for France, and said though they lived under the British flag, yet on their festival days and in national celebrations. it. was the tricolour that. floated over their homes. They were French at. heart and they would always be French.â€"-Hon. Mr. Tarte.at Paris, June 21. 1900. The American refugees, or United Empire Loyalists, desirous of pre- serving their allegiance to the Eng. lish throne, crowded into Canada. and settled in Canada. and settled in, many parts of it, being well received.l by the Government. But they soon conceived the idea. that the country belonged to them, and they would have done away with the French language, French customs, and in fact destroyed the nationality of the French-Canadians if their attempts in this direction had not. been srrenuo ously resistedâ€"Hon. Mr. Tarte, at Paris, June 21, 1900. The Queen of England rules over, but does not govern her dominious.â€" Hon. Mr. ’l‘arte. at Paris, June 21. I will say, as I have often said be- fore, that I am French, that I never was anything but French. and that 1 will always be French. In speaking thus I an voicing the feelings of my fellow countrymen.â€"Hon. Mr. 'l‘arte, at Paris, June 21, 1900. I will not venture to prophecy con- cerning the future of Canada. but it may be supposed that in ten or twen- ty years, when the population shall have grown to as many millions, England may find it embarrasing to keep such a heavy child in her lap, and as the French-Gyna- dians increase numerically much faster than their compatriots of dif- ferent origin there is room for hope that a great. and glorious destiny .still awaits us. From beginning to end of his dis- course, Mr. 'l‘arte was listened to with profound attention. His illu- sions to France and the afiection in which she is held by his countrymen. were warmly applauded. When he resumed his seat, M. .‘Jager expressed his appreciation of the interesting conference, laying stress on the hint dropped by the minister as to the probable future of Canada. "We will hope,” was his concluding re- markâ€"Close of Hon. Mr. ’l‘arte’s speech, Paris, June 21, 1900. Mr. M.

On Monday Mr. W. J. Budd. manager for the Grey and Bruce Portland Ce ‘ ment Company brought to town sev- eral clusters of beautiful ripe wild strawberries. He picked them near the G. '1‘. R. rrack. They were de- licious in flavor and large in size. Raspberry bushes are also producing a second cr0p and in some places the : blossom and the rapidly ripening [berries are to be found on the same branches.â€"-Owen Sound Times. Mr. Wilmot Tracy returned home from Collingwood on Saturday night. Mr. Tracy was one of the waiters on 1 the Parry Sound, which was burned‘ to the water's edge while lying at that port on Monday of last week. He had an exciting experience on the burning steamer. He was awakened by the watchman and had to escape so hurriedly that he had no time to don his clothes. Rushing to one of He gangways he threw his garments out on the wharf and leaped alter them. As it was he loot a pair of shoes and was obliged to go barefoot- ed until a new pair was found. Mr. Wm. Pearson was the only other Owen Sound man aboard the boat. He was one of the watchmen and slept in the fleck down aft, near where the fire started, and had to dash through a sheet of flame to safe- Ity. It was certainly an exceedingly close call for both.â€"-0 S. Times. Mr. Henry VanDusen,of Sarawack, whose farm adjoins the town plot of Brooke, had an exceedingly close call from being torn to pieces by asavage I pig one day last week. He was about to drive the animal and her lit- ter into a shed and picked up one of the little porkers when the animal attacked him and threw him on his back, grabbing him by the clothing over his chest and shaking him sav- agely. She then put her front feet on his chest and would have been at the fallen man's face and throat had not his calls attracted the attention of his wife. Mr. VanDusen picked up a large stick and began belaboring the furious pig with it. It only de- ;sisted its attack when Mrs. VanDus- gen thrust the stake into its open “mouth when it was about to attack her husband’s face. Mr. Van Dusen’s injuries were slight when his great peril is considered as beyond a lacer- ated hand, and a painfullv bruised hip, he escaped without serious in- jury.â€"-(). S. Times. Mr. Jas. Pearson, of Schomberg. eldest son of M r. Geo. Pearson, of Clarksburg, met with a serious loss a week or so ago. On Sunday. Sept. 30th, he started to drive to Aurora when one of his horses took sudden- ly ill. He returned home and sent for a veterinary surgeon, who did all in his power to relieve the animal, but with no avail, as it died the same evening about 11 o’clock p. :11. While getting a team ready to draw the dead horse away from the stable on Monday he noticed one of the team ill also. Again he sent for the veterinary, but before the latter ar. rived another horse was ill too. The doctor then tried to save the only remaining well horse of the two teams by administering medicine as a preventative. Despite all their efforts one of the sick ones died that same Monday night. and the other the following evening. On saturday morning the fourth horse also suc- cumbed to the disease. The loss is a heavy one and coming so suddenly , from no apparent cause seems more severe. Mr. Geo. Pearson has been speaking with Dr. Cruikshank. of Heathcote, and he calls the disease Cerebo Spinal Meningitis. Mr, Jas. Pearson has had his stables thorough- ly fumigated, and he hopes when he purchases teams to displace those lost he will not meet the same mis- fortunes.â€"Clarksburv Refleetor.
