Baby’s Cough Cure ing- In anyevent a change of Gov- ernment in Ontario cannot be lbng de- layed, and there is grave reason to fear that the Liberal party will go out of oflice loaded with a record of ofii‘ c331 shuffling and of electoral ill-doing that will discredit it for half a genera- ition. Much of this Mr. Ross could have prevented, and he, more than any other man, will be held to account for the unworthy practices by which his Government continues to hold and by which his party re- Toronto News. There is something pitiful in Mr. Ross’ plea to the electors of Muskoka. VVe miss the high note of other and more robust days. Time was when the Liberals were presented from every platform in (‘auada as the party of fair elections and honest politics. Toâ€"day Mr. Ross can offer nothing better than a laborious argument, de- signed to show that at least the Lib- erals are not more corrupt than Con- servatives. who as Sir John Maedonald used to say. never pretended to be better than their Imighbors. “'hat a change from the days of Mackenzie. Blake and )Iowat! It would be inter- esting if we could have the views of the fathers of Canadian Liberalism on the Government‘s unspeakable cowardice in shirking a contest in North Renfrew. Toronto News. Mr. Ross’ friends find fault with the criticism to which he is sometimes sub- jected, but how can he stand as a chivalrous and honorable public man if he sanctions such methods as were employed to bribe and coerce the elec- tors of Sault Ste Marie and consents to outrage the Constitution and to lie in wait for a trickster's advantage, as in the case of North Henfrew? ‘He knows how much he is sacrificing Mr. Stratton and his machine, and he should know also that the price is in- finitely more than he can afford to pay if he desires to have. an honorable place in the history of his province. He may win North Renfrew, and the victory may give his Government two or three more years of ofiice. He may lose, and if he does his Govern1nent will haldly survive. and all the shuf- fling and plotting and buying of the last few years will have gone for noth- Durham, Nov. 12th, 1903. MacFARLANM Co.

One of this ilk who had just returned from “abroad”, was descanting recently to a much-bored acquaintance for the benefit of a full street car. upon the shortcomings of the best European hotels. He found it so awfully diffi- cult, don’t-you-know, to get decent quarters in some of the swell water- ing places of the old world. Of course this was the idiot’s way of letting peo- ple know that he had travelled. There was not a child in the car but sized up the loud-mouthed braggart, who, at the same time, forgot there might be people listening to his yap who were aware that a fiew years ago he was clerking it at nine dollars a week. and boarded at a. hash factory. The cad. It is safe to say that he went in when “abroad” for cheap restaurants and backstreet hotels. When some men get a little money and a full stomach, the world is too small for them. When you find yourself talking big or showing off get some big negro to give you a swift lift under the caudal extremity, or some candid friend to jog your memory on the old shake- down in the attic. “A fool filled with meat would make an alligator sic '.” â€"Solom0n, in the Shoe and Leather Journal. SERVANTS AS HEIRS. A servant who thinks he is “it” is next to the principal who can’t wipe 3 s1: 1-: \.‘..\' Ts AS KINGS. The man who was raised on pota- :t-ties and salt usually makes the big- l l I | l l | l r l gest fuss about what. he. is given to eat. \Vhen you iind a fellow kicking at the way the quail is put on toast ' you don’t miss your guess when you put him down for a hog trotter. The worst nigger driver is often the 'pot bellied bully who made his first idollar a good deal harder than he ' spends it now. The woman who can‘t, keep a servant is nine times out of ten one who has graduated from a kitchen run by as big an upstart as herself. \Vhat is bred in the bone will come out in the flesh. The gentleman to a manor born, whether he carries a hod or wears a coronet, can't hide his blue blood. The dress suit may cover a multitude of sins, but it can’t hide boor nature. 0f Felix, governor of J udea, Tacitus said: '° He ruled with the spirit of a slave.” He came. from the scum. and, like his contemporary, Ju- das. he gravitated towards his owni ' place. Put a beggar on horseback and: hell ride to the devil. The servant ' when he reigneth is a sight to “make 1 the angels weep."â€"Solomon, in the 5 Shoe and Leather Journal. 9 The newspapers have had consider- able to say about fakirs since the time of the Fall Shows. This paper has net allowed the occasion to pass without a protest against this unnecessary ad- junct to the country fair. In a neigh- boring village the manipulator of a skin game offered Sixty dollars for the privilege of doing business for a few hours on the day of the show. To the credit of the management the favor was denied and the fakir left next train for more congenial quarters. ls there any one fool enough to imagine Ifaman is too lazy to work and earn an honest living. it would be much safer for him to cultivate a suc- cessful limp and go begging rather than take the chances of stealing for a livelihood. Even the most timorous can shoot of]? a piteous recital of some imaginary misfortune, and whether or not he deserves to be the recipient of charity he will find a responsive chord in many a heart and pick more money than he could earn by honest toil. It may not be out of place here to express the opinion that a large percentage of mendicants are not de- serving of public consideration, and a curtailment of generosity on the part of a credulous public would go a long way to reduce the army of beggars. How often does a person feel galled at finding the recipient of his favor an hour afterwards staggering on the street or rolling in the gutter ! a. person giving sixty dollars for the privilege of performing his antics and giving something for nothing to :L ga- ping crowd?

I The Public Library Concert held in Watson’s Hall, was beyond doubt, the best of its kind in the history of the Village. It was a splendid combina- tion of talent, Mr. Donald C. Mac- Gregor, who has been here so often 1 before, kept up hislreputation indeed. I The more we hear Mr. MacGregor the i better we like him. His appearance land pleasant manner together with , his beautiful baritone voice puts him :to the front as a frvorite. There are ; few who can give us the Scotch like : “Mac-Gregor.” Too much cannot be , said for the young and pretty v1olin- ist Miss Maude Buschlen. who ap- , peared amongst us for the first time, she played by request many at the - beautiful Scottish airs which never fail to win the hearts of the people. :This time they were sweeter than ‘. ever. Her powers as a violinist seem ; supernatural, were she to visit us again she would get a great reception, fMiss Allan accompanist fulfilled her :duties vely satisfactorily. Master ‘Alex. McDonald. Highland dance1, gav 9 us all a surprise. this 3' oung man performed his part cleveily, he is a ; born dancer. Piper Hector McDonald and Mr Eastman with his Cadets were .as usual well received. The Bell 1 piano supplied by Mr. Paterson of Flesherton was a beautiful insn'u- ‘ment and added much to the success ,of the concert. Rev. Jir. Matheson ‘ occupied the chair. The turn out Iwas not so large as we some times have, but it being a busx season and ,sev eral other ente1t1ain1ne11ts in the ; vicinity would necessarily reduce our . members. However we are pleased . to know that the people are none the less enthusiastic for the success of the library. \Ve must strive to re- tain our admiration for allgthat would fienoble, and our interest in all that 'would enrich and beautify our life. ! So perhaps in the near future we shall add a few books to the library and al- so give the peOple another good c011- cert. Sr. IIâ€"VVillie Wallace. Lizzie Burns?

The deceas- ed was sick but two weeks and al- though all the weight of medical science was brought to bear upon the case, nothing could save her. She passed peacfully away and conscious to the last. .All the members of the family were present who could pos- sibly be there. We extend to the bereaved our heartfelt sympathy.
