23, The Grit Platform.

(The Empire.)

The speeches of the Grit leaders at the opening at Oakville of their new campaign was practically contined to their adupted policy of Commercial Union aud its accom- paniments; so evidently that is the platform upon which they mainly rely to enable It will therefore be well to pick out its planks from the rubbish with which they intermingle them in their speeches. They are as follows:

1888.

1. Restriction of our commerce to the Unit- ed States,

2. Sacrifice of our industries to New Eng: land’s protected competition.

3. Transfer of our farmers’ home market to the farmers of the United States.

4. Differential duties against our fellow- countrymen of the rest of the British Empire, who are to be treated as aliens.

5. Commercial favoritism to the foreigners of the United States, who are to be treated as fellow-countrymen.

6. Concession to Washington of the right to frame our tariff. 48

7. Surrender of our territorial rights to our neigh brs,

8. Sacrifice of $15,000.00 of Customs revenne,

9. Direct taxation to supply the deficiency, levied on the land and therefore mainly on our farmers.

10. Annexation, with the first step of Com- mercial Union officially announced by the Grit authorities and the second step of politi- cal union semi-officially announced as to fol- low by the inventor ot their policy, his agents, advocates and organs, a

These are the main plamwks of the present Grit platform as gathered from the speeches, pamphlets and editorials of the Grit leaders and organs, or necessarily following from the confessed objects. They endwavor to mask the deformity of their bantling by a cloud of irrelevant verbiage, but we have outlined its main features with fidelity. It will hardly prove attractive to the people of Canada,

ingly Strange Story.

An Exceed

Says a Findlay, Ohio, despatch of the 17th :—In Marion Township, this county, a young daughter of Henry Searfoss, a pro- minent farmer, had been ill for several weeks with a disease of which none knew the origin, and which eompletely bafile:! the skill of the attending physicians. Her malady was such that the body would at intervals grow as cold as in death and be covered with green spots. On last Monday she lost consciousness, and tor thirty-six hours was in atrance, the warmth of her body being the only indication of life. Tuesday night she was aroused . from her slumber and told a strange story of what had oceurred to her during her period of unconsciousness, in which she said a man appeared to her, and with a buggy wheel showed her how her injuries came about, after which he brought a sheet, a bucket and three bottles containing wine, whiskey and alcohol, and explained to her how these might be used to effect acure. If they were not used, he warned her that at seven o'clock onthe morning of the next day she would begin failing, at four o’clock in the afternoon death’s approach would be realized, and at 9 o'clock the next morning she would be dead. The family physician laughed at the whole thing, and bade the parents pay no heed tothe spirit injunc- tion, which advice was followed, and at once the predictions of the vision began to come true, and the girl grew rapidly worse. The family, thoroughly alarmed, hastened

toapply the treatment prescribed in the trance, and an immediate change for the better made itself apparent, followed by a steady improvement. Miss Searfoss is able to be up and around and is now as well as ever, + i Home NMappiness.

Probably nineteen-twentieths of the happi- aess you will ever have you will get at home. The independence that comes to a man when his work is over, and he feels that he has run in out of the storm into the quiet harbor of home, where he can rest in peace with his family, is something real. It does not make much difference whether you own your house or have one little room in that house, you can make that one little room a true home to you. You can people it with such moods, you can turn it with such sweet fancies, that it will be fairly luminous with their presence, and it will be to you the very perfection of a home. Against this home none of you should ever transgress. You should always treat each other with courtesy. It is often not so difficult to love a person as it is to be courte- ous to him, Courtesy is of greater value and of more royal grace than some people seem to think. If you will but be courteous to each other, you will soon learn to love each other more wisely, profoundly, not to say lastingly, than you ever did before.

weenie tiiieiate nae rrested by a Skeleton.

A burglar found his way into a doctor's con- sulting room, where he opened what appeared to him a large wardrobe, his mate, who had the dark lantern, meanwhole pursuing his avocations in another part of the room. While pine, eee for the clothes hooks his hand got between the jaws of a skeleton which, being contrived to shut by means of a strong spring and kept asunder by a piece of wire, now suddenly closed on the fingers of the burglar. He screamed out with the pain, and when his mate turned the rays of the lantern towards him, and he took in the situ- ation, the first burglarfainted. He fell to the ground, dragging the skeleton with him, and making such a noise that the other robber took to his heels. The doctor, aroused from his slumbers, rushed down stairs and found the burglar still firmly held by the jaws of the skeleton.

Post Office Bungling. | A Republican journal published in the State of New York. says complaints are loud and frequent of the bluudering and inefficient service of the Post Office De- partment throughout the country. It is alleged that the service has fallen behind in all parts of the Union during the past three years. The cause of the trouble is attributed to the changes which have been made in the persons employed in the postal service, and the gross incompetency and shameful negligence which are tolerat- ed for political reasons. The proof is at hand, the journal in question says, that during the past year, in which there have been sweeping removals, the standard has been reduced so as to cause real scandals. 8 an example, the state of affairs in the second division of the service, including the States of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, is commented upon. It is pointed out that in the month of June, 1887, the records show 25,678 errors in’ the distribution of letters, 241 packages of forty letters each temporarily. lost, and 116 pouches missent, and 29 lost. In the month of May, 1888, the errors arose to 29,519, the lost packages to 278, the mis- sent pouches to 131, and the lost pouches to 40. Between June, 1887, and May, 1888, very many skilled clerks were dis- inissed and green hands put in their places. The changes, it is asserted, were made simply to secure strength for Mr. Cleveland at the election.

John Bright and His Three Sons.

Of Mr, John Bright’s sons, John was al- ways the ‘‘good” boy; Leatham, now an M. P., was the mischievous one; and Philip was the hard-working one. Not long ago Philip was employed in the fitting-shed, in the bright Mills, having an aptitude for the mak- ing and mending of machinery. When he had goue through the grades in that shop, he put in a year or two at Petrie’s iron foundry in the town. He carried his breakfast ‘‘can” and shared the company and work of all the other men, every one of whom he seemed to think as good as himself. His brother Lea- tham was put through the drills at the mills, apd so was John Albert. John Bright him- self learned how to work before he began to speak for and represent the workingmen. His father, old Jacob, was a poor man, with near- ly as many children as ie had shillings a week for his work as.a weaver, At the pres ent day, the Bright Mills are scaréely to be surpassed in England. Over two thousand hands are employed in them.

Defending the Sex.

A well-known society woman, speaking of the attacks made upon her sex for their methods ot handling their skirts or bustles when sitting down, carrying their parasols and other habits, says: *‘1 think three quar- ters of such talk is nonsense. I am perfectly sure that men have just as many marked habits as women. What can be more absurd, I'd like to know, than to see a man every time he sits down fling his coat tails wide apart as though something frightful would happen if he forgot to part them. Then, again, that everlasting twiching at thel gs of his trousers so as to pullthem up in folds above his knees and exposing generally tie not always attractive top of a pair of shoes with strings tied in a_ by no means picturesque pot. To me one of the repulsive habits is the refolding up of a handkerchief before replacing in the pocket, which is quite common to men. I always wonder if the user is afraid of getting them mussed or only wants the outside fresh and clean. As régards the perpetual movement of the hand to the head and face, pulling down cuffs so that they will show beneath the sleeve, and similar tricks. Are they not every- day sight? Upon my word I'm really sick of the whole subject. and when I walk along the soreet particularly and observe the habits of the male pedestrians and their utter disregard of the rights of others, I think the less they say about the ‘ weaker sex’ the better.”

The Deadly Bustle.

The deadly bustle has commenced to do its work and hereafter it should be shed during thunder showers or else have a lightning rod attachment. Mrs. George T. Read, of Belfast, received an electrical shock from lightning during the shower of Tuesday evening. After a severe flash of lightning, Mrs. Read, who was sitting near the window with her husband jumped up and her manner indicated alarm. Her husband asked her if she was frightened, but she could not reply. Mr. Read then applied restoratives and his wife came round all right in a short time. Her wire bustle attracted the electricity, and Mrs. Read experienced a severe shock. She said it felt like pouring hot water down her ers Commercial.

Apvice to Morsers.-— Mrs. Winslow’ Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes ae “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant vo taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. {April l ‘88
