D r Editorial Note and Comment | â€"Russia is threatened with a famine of bread and coal this winter. â€"East Wellington nomination to supply the yacancy caused by the death of Mr. Craig, is being held this week with eyery prospect that Hon. J. M. Gibson will be the Retorm nominee, and probably unopposed. _ Mr. Park the late Patron canaidate has written a long letter to the press of the riding, in which after samming up the faithâ€" lessness of the local Conseryvatives in his own experience unhesitatingly tarows in his lot with the Liberals. As Mr. Park is the strongest possible opponent, no Conservative has any chance. â€" Later.â€"Mr. (Gibson has been enthusiastically chosen, no other name being mentioned. â€"A meeting was held in Toronto last week, presided over by Bishop Sullivan to discuss and secure the adoption of a scientific method of dealâ€" ing with inebriates.. It was pointed out that many of this class drifted into jails while they did not properly beâ€" long to the criminial c‘lass. _ Proposals were made for a separate institution backed and controlled by goyernment for the treatment of such cases. _ This seems eminently proper that a governâ€" ment which licenses a system that makes them should also provide for them when made! A strong comâ€" mittee _ including _ Bishop Sallivan, Goldwin Smith, O. A. Howland and other prominent men are to report on Nov, 11th,. Prevention is better than cure. \\' ANTEDâ€"SEVERAL TRUSTWORTHY PERâ€" sous in this state to maunge our business in their own and nearby coun.ies. It is raainly office work conducted at boine.

Chicago. â€"The French, Italian and Russian Governments have sent reinforcements to Crete and the Turk will have to be eivil and wirhdraw his forces at last. â€"Bank buildings are made stronger safes are made impregnable by subtle combinations and other devices, but the busy burglarfaughs at locksmiths and gets there just the same. _ Last week over ®6),000 was stolen from Molson‘s Bank, Winnipeg, and no valâ€" gar blowing up or drilling took place. They‘ have simply walked through fiye combinations, known only to three men, removyed the ‘staff® and left not the least clue. _ The employees from manager downwards testify absolute ignorance and the detectiyes have now a job to test their skill. _ £37000 of the money is in untraceable bills. Toronto pays about 2500 a month as rent for 16 churches, stores etc, to use as school buildings. It is suspected â€"The State of Minnesota bhad a painâ€" ful experience last week when bands of Indians went a war hunting, killing six or seven and perhaps more. _ The military of course have soon driven them off but the population near their reservyes are still in terror, and bloodâ€" thirsty raids may take place even with soldiers near. _ Not for nothing do Indians rebel nowâ€"a2â€"days, and it is hinted unfair treatment by governâ€" ment is the cause. _ This has been the cause fof several bloody Indiaa outâ€" breaks in the States, and Canadian akirts are not altogether clear, by some that men with an axe grind are in no hurry to build. Six Dominion vacancies are to be filled next month, and following good Liberal tactics, the elections are to be held in one day. _ The seats are: N. Simeoe, late Dalton McCarthy ; W. Lambton, late Mr. Lister, elevated to the bench ; W. Haron, late M. C. Camâ€" Cameron, promoted ard now deceased. Bagot and Montmagny in Quebec and a P. E. Island seat are the others. â€"Ottawa will soon be third city in the Dominion. She claims 56000 of population and is thus rapidly gaining on Quebec whose population remains nearly stationary at less than 70000. â€"The Russian peace proposal looks well on paper, but how near we are to it may be judged from the fact that day and night work is being pushed on four new battleships and 40 torpedo boats in Russian yards. _A despatch says that every Sunday fleet manoeuâ€" vres are witnessed by the Czar in person who takes keen delight in the skill of his seamen. â€"Mr. Ogilvie, Yukon Commissioner, is she wing the iron hand. _ Word has arrived that an organized raid was made on gamblers. crooks and harlots and fines to the amount of £10,000 collected. This has struck terror into the lawless classes and the money is to be spent improving the streets of the Arctic city of Dawson. ONTARIO 2 Male Teacher wanted for 8. 8. No. 7, Proton for 1899. _ Address stating Sal. ary and qualifications. ____.|_GEO,. WATSON, Sec. Treas, Oct 5th ‘08. What Serofula Is. Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity, It has been handed down for generâ€" ations and is the same toâ€"day as in early times, lt is emphatically a disense of the blood, and the only way to cure it is by purifying the blood. That is just what Hood‘s Sarsaparilla does in every case where it is givyen a faithful trial. It eradicates all impurities from the blood and cures the sores, boils, pimples, and all formms of skin disâ€" ease due to scrofulas tamts in the blood. â€" Hood‘s Sarsaparilla has won the grateful praise of vast numbers of people by its grand and complete cures, Don‘t allow scrofula to deâ€" velop in your blood. _ Cure it at once by taking Hood‘s Sarsapacrilla. TEACHER Wanted for Scheol Secâ€" tron No. 8, Bentinck and Gloneig for the year 1899. . Second or Third Class certificate.

For 1104 ; Majority against 317. North Bruce, For 1926 ; Against 602. Majority for 1324. The admirers of the Premier bave decided to banquet him in Noyember as a tribute to his worth and in reâ€" sponse to the growing feeling that in him the country has a progressive and clean handed man who said himself on one occasion "I have always tried to stand for the people." Total majority for 1163 Proton had a majority in evey ward but one, and by polling stations is as follows x‘ North Grey was reported for a few days 500 against, the result below tells a different tale. Keppel, majority yes 827 Holland, ** **.....,) $ Res Sydenham, * t% 22(0 Derby, we x* 206 Sarawnk, ** kss 12 Sullivan, 6 t* , 32 Owen Sound, ** 32 The 25000 majority we gave last week was too rosy by thousands. _ Quebec inâ€" stead of 38000 against is reported to be about twice that number and if this is correct the majority is wiped out entireâ€" ly, Gradually the yote is being gazetâ€" ted and in a few weeks will be positiveâ€" ly known, meanwhile the chances for Prohibition are getting slimmer, but temperance sentiment has received a tremendous impulse forward all the same. ‘The movement for the banquet has no doubt been stimulated by the course of evyents of late which have been decidedly in favor of the premier. He received much obloquy for hangâ€" ing on to his Minister of Agriculture, Dryden, but the courts have unseated Dryden‘s opponent on the score of corrupt practices. Whitney and the whole Conservativye party sought to disfranchse the constables, Hardy stoutly stuck np for them (it may be said sel‘ishly ) Il;nt the courts have deâ€" cided again, the judges being unanâ€" imous, that Hardy was right, _A bitter attempt was made to unseat Mr. Harty of Kingston by. amongst others, a sweeping charge of corruption by the Ontario Government having a central corruption fund. _ Absolutely mo eviâ€" dence was found to support the charge and the judge confirmed Mr. Harty in his seat and gave a raking down to the accusers which they will not forâ€" get in a day. _ ‘The case against the Liberal Mr. Pettypiece. of Lambton seems also to be breaking down. _ Mr. Whitney who loudly anrounced that no saw offs would be allowed has conâ€" sented to at least twentyâ€"two of them, shrewdly observing, no doubt as the World cisrtoonist puts it, that his charges were making no havoe on (irit citadcis and deciding that either the guns oi the gunner or both were at fault _ The ammunition it seems is at fault, and so the Grit citadels gre sate.
