d. .aCles AxN D- glasses. ,NTEE .....a.- 4'ECT SATISFACTION. E. WIL LIS, Chemist & Druggist, Medical Hall, Brook Street, Whitby.1 FRIDAY, DEC. 14, 1894. DeaMh of th. Premier. The most startling news ever flashed across the Alantic cable was received in Canada on Wednesdav, announcing the death at the Qucen's palace, Windsor Castie, of Rt. Hon. Sir John S. D. Thomp- son, premier of Canada, of heart failure. He has been troubled with pains in the breast for somne trne past, and had heen consulting physicians in Europe, but to no advantage. He visited the continent without any Improverrment. He was sworn Ir a member of the Queen's privy counicil on Wednesday, and was to have dined with lier Maesty, but passed away sud- denly after reviving from a fainting speli. That the deceased statesman was con- spicuouslv the fiast and greatest man of the Domninion of Canada at the time of bis death, may be given as the almost unani- mous opinion of ail Canadians. 1-e was erninently a statesman, the essential quali- tics of lawyer and politician being airong in himi. His was a fine judicial mmîd wlth the unusual acconîpaniment of administra- tive ability. His career is one of the most phenomenal in blstory. At fifty years of age Sir John Thompson had attalned to ail that any colonist can reach, J udge, M inister of Justice, Premier, ani memrber of the Queen's Privy Coun- cil. The mioat gifted writers in the coun- try have a task in eulogizing his career in whiéh they ail feel that both words and thouglhts (al ahoxt.He îowered so far above themn ail that the appalling and totally unexpected news of bis death lae e's minds for the lime unfit to ,.,awa.

'The recent revelations of bribery In To- ronto are being followcd. as one might expect, by a great blowout ini favor of honest governrnent, and now will be the time for demagogues to get a seat. Men who could flot get any supportjprevious- ly becanse of their personal un fitness for ti e position, will now only have to join the nioality brigade and jro round how- ling forr ut7, and they will stand a good chance orh gh poitons. The presc it situation is one i ikely to bring forward bogus puxists, flot only in Toronto but in ail adjacent municipalities. People had beiter look out for candidates who corne forward ai a j'uncture like this and parade honesty. A fer ail it is brains and ex- perience that are xnost necded and for that matter we are of opinion that if the whole truth were known some xiews- papers in Toronto have handled more -crooked money than the aldermen have. A friend calis our attention to an adver- tisement in the Toronto Globe in which the trustees of a rural achool advertise for a teacher, requesting at the same time that the application contain a statement of thc applicants politics and religion. This shows that some school boards have a lîttie of the P. P. A. in theni, and il wotild be a very stupid appli cant who would not be able to know what religion to state if lie wanîed the situation. This case re- minds us of another where a board of trus- tees wrote to an applicant to know whether lie taught that the world is round or fiat. The teacher wrote back that bis private opinion was that the world is fiai, ut he would teach it whichever way the trustees wished it donc. By an oversight, owing to the absence of the editor on business, the grand ban- quet held in Oshawa in honor of Mr. John Larke, Canadian agent to Australia, was not mentlouied in asat week's CHRONICLI. We regret the omission very much, the event being one of the mosi unanimous and iimcly expressions of goodwill we- have ever hadte pîcasure of witnesalug. Beyond doabc Mr. Larke la the best man in Canada for thc Canadian agency in the antipodes, bis schooling into our commer- cial wauts haviug bedu more extensive than that of any other Canadien, Mr. Larke will*honor the position as miuch as t will honir hlm, and, we have no doibt, will prove orthc highest service to ihose" who wish to trade wit - 'the people ln Southern climes àc7avý.»- .Mmmiolpai Notes. speculate as to the political probabilities Mes.R..MobaeeefPc- or niecessilies whichi arc involvcd in the ering, and Geo.
