We all‘ wish to have good laws, and in our‘ sane moments we all wish to see these good laws enforced properly. There is no question to-day in Ontario poli- itics that comes in for a greater share of thought than the proper adminis- tration and enforcement of the liquor laws, and this is, perhaps, the very part of his governmental work that Mr. \Vhitney’s political enemies thought him least capable of handling. \Ve believe the general public is anx- ious to show a strong hand here. to some extent the influence of the Board.

Tottenbam, Ont., July 26.-â€"By the falling of trestle work on the con- struction of the new Canadian Pa- cific Railway road. about three miles south of here six cars loaded with gravel fell some ten feet and buried beneath the debris four men, three of whom were extricated one fatally injured and the fourth instantly killed. The dead man was 21 years of age, and unmarried. No cause can be assinged for the accident, the structure being apparently substant- ially built. “ How did you know I was here?” asked the pretty girl. ’ KILLED BY FALLING TRESTLE. It is stated that a passenger who happened to be looking out of a win- dow saw that a collision was impend- ing and shouted to his companions to lie on the floor of the car. Many were saved by this means. An electric express which felt Liv- erpool was crowded with passengers. At Southport the train crashed into the rear of an empty train standing on a side track at the Hall Road Station. The body of the front car of the express was torn off, and the steel frame rose in the air and fell upon the passengers. Two other cars were overturned, and one or two cars caught fire. It is not clear whether there many casualties from the fire. It seems that most of the dead were killed instantly.

Friday the Sanitary Committe in the Italian quarter found a full grown cow in the third storey of a building on Chartress Street.

July 26.â€"-Two daughters of Mr. J. E. Inglehart, of Palermo, was killed by a train near here about 6 o’clock this evening. They had driven into Oakvillc this afternoon and were returning home. and when crossing the Grand Trunk tracks they were struck by the In ternational express, which passes here at 6 o’clock. Both were instant- !y killed and the buggy entirely demolished. No one knows exactly how the accident occured. but from eyewitnessess some distance away. the girls apparentlv had driven half way across the track when they noticed the train. The horse either twisted around to return or the un- fortunate girls became excited and backed the horse up. Shocking Fatality Near Oakville. Ont. There is the farmer who has work- ed a rented place all his life. There is a good mechanic who has worked for others for a generation. There is the merchant who, though in buis- ness thirty years. is still renewing his notes and living on skilly, and yonder is a preacher who has passed the dead line and has never got be- yond a back township charge. There a doctor who apparently knows his materia media, but when he has cared for his family and paid his horse feed has little left for Christmas. There a lawyer who sits in a carpetless office and shes out an existence by pettifoggery, barely keepin; out of the division court. What is the meaning of all this ? Is life a great lottery in which the many draw blanks and a few golden prizes? Why are there so many failures in life in the ordinary conception of failure ? Nine times out of ten lazinesss is at the bottom of the whole thing. Some industrious people seem to miss it in life, but ninety-nine times out of a hundred a man fails because he sits down on his end and gets behind in the race. Too fond of the easy chair and dream- land, old fellow. That is what keeps you under the thumb of others. “The slothful shall be under tribute.” Waste and laziness run hand in hand, and when you get a strong combination of both you have a ras- cal. The man who does not do his stunt in the world and who adds to I this crime the waste of the products of others’ industry should be made to smart. There are some men so lazy and so mean that if it were not for the fear of death they would not work their jaws to masticate their food. There are the drones in the hive that ought to be chased from the hive and left to do an honest day’s Work or starve. It was cattle of this description that the wise man referred to when he said “The sloth- ful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting.” To the diligent, progressive. alert man everything is precious. He gathers the moments, the opportunities, and‘ even the mis- takes and waste of others and turns all to advantage. It is known that a Hebrew will grow rich upon the scrap pile. The successful man is the one who counts nothing as worthless. willhe repaired on shm test. notice 5 at reusmmhleprices.
