”The svlm'tlnn of Mr. Frank Oliver to fill the Cabinet. vacant-y caused by the resignation of Mr. Sifton is at wise move on the part of the Government, and at the same time a frank confes- sion of Weakness. Mr. ()liver had no claim on the Government's favor; dur- ing the last few years he has dubbed his new millengues knights of very discretlitable orders: he has employed to its fullest extent his remarkable vocabulary in denouncing the most prominent of the Government organs; he has openly boasted of his readiness to smash anything that met with his disapproval: he was one of the most vigorous opponents of the motion to eliminate pom the coronation oath the [urn objectional and offensive to the Roman Catholic Churchâ€"hut the Government had a lucrative and im- portant position to offer. Mr. Oliver hadasafe constituency to sellâ€"so a bargain is struck and the goods are about tobe delivered. Tl; etransaction has caused some sur prise, but it shouldn't. It is quite in harmony with all the other details of the Au- tonomy legislation that has set the country on fire. The Government set the example of ignoring or laughing at its professions of the pastâ€"and dishon- or has been made to appear honorable in the eyes of the rank and file by the example of the leaders. The selection d Oliver was a cold-blooded matter of business necessity. It was absolutely 5m that the position of Minister dthelnteriorhe filled. It was also noes-say th“ "01'!

Our New Wall Papers for Spring Is so largely a question of Wall Paper that no house- holder should fail to consider the claims of the strikingly handsome patterns secured by us this season from the unequalled product of THE WA'I‘SON lr‘OQTER 00., Mon- treal. and STAUNTONS of Toronto. But while prepared to meet the demand for high class Style aml Design and Modern Color Effect. we have also provided the most. com plere range of Lower Grade “’3“ Papers. Every pat. tern shown is Artistic and Attracfive no matter how Low the Price or how Modest the Design. WISE BUT WEAK French half-breeds, Galicians and others not of the Anglo-Saxon race. The great majority, in fact, are those who would naturally favor Separate schoolsâ€"the schools which, under the authority of the Autonomy Act they will have establishid and at public ex- pense forever. This condition is enough to make Mr. Oliver’s election assuredâ€"but there are other reasons. Edmonton is in a very unenviable fln- ancial condition. The value of real estate is regrettably low. Business is slack. The business men of the town are anything but cheerful. They would endorse almost any scheme that would ultimately boom their town. Naturally the farmers of thesurround- ing districts desire to see Edmonton a great city. The surest way to make it a great city is to have it make the capital of the new Province of Alberta. The surest wav to give it prestige and to increase its chances as becomingthe permanent capital is to elect the new Minister of the Interior when he ap- peals to his constituents. Not only Frank Oliver. who is popular in his constituency. but anyone possessing an opportunity to give the town a lift, would not only be sure of election, but would find it impossible to meet defeat. Edmonton has also the distinction of being dominated by thelargest French trading company in France, a com- pany with several times the capital of the great Hudson’s Bay Company. This company has boasted that it will spend a million, if necessary, to secure control of the trade of that section of1 the country. Doubtless a part of that million Would be available, in case of need. to win the. constituency for the Government-â€"and to win' Government favor for the company. Under such conditions it would he the height of folly for the Opposition to puta candi- date in the field. He. would have. no possible show, and the result of the election would give, no indication of the feeling of the North-\Vest in re- gard to the Separate school clauses of the Autonomy Bill~â€"-hut the friends of coercion Would insist that it was an indication of \Vestern approval of the offensive legislation. The Government is determined to carry its measure by brute force. There is little advantage to he gained by lighting it with weak and inell'cctivc weapons. A good memory will he the. surest guarantee that a suitable punishment will eVent- ually be administered. The Autonomy Bill is causing much debate in Ottawa, and a great deal of dissatisfawtitm in all the provinces of the Dominion, with the exception of Quebec. The original Bill has been modified in appearance, and some of the Liberal members who couldn’t swallow the whole thing as it first ap- peared. are now ready to gulp it down in its present form. Only the Star. of all the Toronto Dailies. comes out in support of it. even in its modified con- dition, and from all quarters Liberal supporters are warning Liberul mem- bers against favoring the measure. Our own representative has signified his intention to support it, but in the, event of him doing so. he’ll have to reckon with the electors, and afterthe voting day the chances are he may sign himself Henry Horton Miller, Ex- )1. P. The people now, are not tied down to the strict party lines they were a few years ago, and the candi- date or member who thinks he can hold the party in his mit is making a big mistake. Federal interference with provincial rights is not to be tolerated, no matter how plansable the arguments may be in support of any such coercion. Opponents of the By-Law say the factory will be rebuilt anyway, bonus or no bonus, loan or no loan. We know that unless the town gives sup- port, there will be nothing done. If a sure alternative is in sight. Why did not the opponents of the By-Law en- lighten the citizeuf by calling a public meeting and formulating their-scheme? \Ve may answer, there’s nothing in it only the drawing of a herring across the track to defeat the By-Law. Ob- structionists are found in nearly all towns, and they don’t always belong to the poorer classes either. The defeat of the By-Law on Friday will mean the wiping out of the Fur- niture Industry. It will mean an exodus of several families. It will mean vacant houses and lower rents, which some no donbt would welcome. It will mean a lot of idleness, or a forced departure of many of our best citizens to get employment elsewhere. It will mean the loss of circulation of twenty thousand dollars a year for wages. It will mean hard times for the working man and heavy losses to the business man. - It will mean stag- VOTE FOR THE FURNITURE FACTORY BY-LAW If You Want the Town to Grow.

The entertain- ment will consist of a grand supper and concert in the Agricultural Hall followed by a grand display of fire- works. Our football team are aro ranging for a match during the after- noon of the day. We are pleased to state over one hundred dollars worth of books have been added. The li. brary has a good membership and the books are being freely read. None but thelatest books of standard authors are purchased. There is now about 900 volumes on the shelves al- though the institution is only 3 years old. During the year 1904 the num- ber of volumes issued was 2064. We trust that the Victoria Day celebra- tion will prove successful. Have you ever heard of Half Time ? A most successful and verv inter- esting meeting of the Holstein branch of the Lord’s Day Alliance, was held in the Presbyteriam church here on Monday evening of this week. The Rev. T. Albert Moore. assistant soc retary of the Alliance, was present, and for one and a half hours addres- sed the meeting. He showed how that the observance of the Sabbath was neglected and the moral suasion failed to produce the desired efiect. He said, that nothing Short of direct legislation would prove effective. The greed of gain by individuals and co- operate bodies were reSponsible for robbing the home of its joys, as many “re compeli- -| to work seven days m the W091.

The Rev John McDougall. the vet eran of Methodism in the West, will deliver an address here on Thursdav evening. Reduced A Hard Swelling. Mr. Gus E.
