Mesers. W. B. Greive andl M. Monroe, two of the prin ipal merchants of St. John’s— have issued a counter manifesto. This is

certainly a more comprehensive an 1 states

manlike doeument than that of the Pre- |

mier. But it ia to be remembered that in the issue of papers like these, the Oppos ition have almost invariably the advan- tage. The Opposition attack the Govern- ment on various grounds, and promise, if elected, railway and telegraph extension and consolidation, extension of roads, cash system for road work and poor relief, bonus for land-clearing, less taxation on the poor, reduction of duties on fishing gear and ealt, free bait to Americans with free fish to United States, compensation for the West Coast to those who have suffered from the French, educational and temperance reform, and a number of other attractive things. The contest is conducted with a bitterness and personality of which, hap- pily, we are almost ignorant. Liars, de faulters, state paupers, Judas Iscariot, and other savory names are freely bandied about: and the organs of the two parties furnish their readers with political news, which, if not truthful, is certainly in the highest degree “ spicy”. Under the head of “ Legalized Robbers and State Pan- pers,” the organ of the Opposition gives a list of eight supporters of the Government, including Messrs. W hiteway, Bond, Har- yev. Woods and Fax, who, it alleges, have secured in one way and another over $450,000 The organ of the Government asserts that the policy of the Opposition, if returned, ee railways, discourage mining, close up industries and compel the people to confine themselves to the fisheries, w hich simply means slavery to the merchants. The exigencies of the campaign have given employment to a number of poets, n specimen of whose powers we shall publish on Monday :

Amidat the conflicting rumors and accounts of the attitude of the various

districts, which invariably give the lie |

direct to each other, it is almost impossible

to hazard an opinion as to the result. The |

contest will, no doubt, be close and very

keen. Indications, if it can be said there |

are any ot a decided nature point to a small majority for the, Opposition. But it is difficult to say what may arise between now and Nuvem- ber 6th, the date of the election.

— Almost every paper we pick up con | tains some reference to the hard times in |

the United States,and a notice of some per- son or persons returning home sadder and wiser. A subscriber to the Hants, N. S., Journal, vriting from Cambridgeport, Mass., says: “Times are very dull here.

Large numbers of old established firme |

and nearly all the factories have shut down, thus throwmg thousands of people out of work. There are many families here who are suffering now; what will it be before the epringepens? If those in dear old Nova Scotia only knew how well off they are at home they would never come over here to go throngh all the privations that so many have to endure

There will be many who will return to |

Canadian soil during the next six months. Tell the boys to stay at home.” Here is another paragraph taken from the Chig- pecto Post: H. T. Murray, formerly of Murray Road, Westmorland County, but for the past six years a resident of Lowell, Mass., and vicinity, has returned te Canada with the intention of taking up permanent residence at his old home. He is one of the hundreds out of work, having been particularly fortunate in retaining his job

to the present time while hundreds tem- |

porarily ‘ laid off’ have been walking the streets waiting for prospects to brighten and work to begin. The factories which have re-opened are in many cases employ- ing not more than one-third the regular sumber of hands and working only small jobs. Down’ asters are always sought for positions ot trust and importance, bat Mr. Murray is of the opinion that Canadians will do far better at home.”

physicians and tree drugstores, including those of our cateemed friends Mr. Suther und and Dr, Ford, the latter of whom

bines with his practice of pharmacy a earned study of pre-historic North Ame- rican and antiquarian lore. In this con- ection we must not furget to refer to the imented iliness of Dr. McIntyre. Apart from his incomprehensible attachment to the Organized Hypocrisy (which we annot too deeply regret or too strongly ondemn) there ismuch in the character f Dr. MeIntyre that is calculated to in- pire respeet and to win sympathy; and he has had from menof all classes and creeds abundant sympathy while stretched upon his bed of pain. All will be glad to learm that, according to the latest advices from his physicians, he is now on the up- ward though toilsome grade towards health amd strength.

Vhile Souris is improving and prosper ng, she still needs a little more light upon sidewalks from which a sudden fall of

e to two feet is not iu possible on the part of the unsophisticated stranger. here is a welcoming and attractive lamp at the hospitable door of te good Sea View Hotel; but, for the most part the streets of Souris are, except when the moon shines bright, in utter darkness. This ought not so to be in this age _ of coal oil, electricity and gas Now that the Provincial election ie within measur able distance, the Local Government have

n hand a large stock of the latter com- modity, and we have no doubt that the Lberal Commissioner who is just now pro- vi ling so bountifully for the roads of cer- tain individual country voters would easily be persuaded to provide light for the streets vf Souris if only i:s citizens could hoid uit the essential inducement. Speaking alout lights, leads up to the fact that the Dominion Government have recently, through their agent Mr. Lord, placed a new, mproved and very much stronger light

}upon the end of Souris breakwater. It

is a red, penetrating bull’s eye light, whiels can be seen by the faithful mariner when fifteen miles distant from the port. Capt. Angus N. Macdonald, the careful light-

| keeper at Souris, hesitates to give the new light the sanction of his endorsement until

he has seen how it will actin a gale of vind. But he reports that it has been seen from vessels when they were epposite joughton Island.

By far the most important work carried } on at Souris at the present time is that which is being done for the repair of the breakwater. This work has been great!y retarded by reason of the gales of August and the unpropitious weather of Septem- ber. But under the favorable conditions which now prevail, and the careful super- intence of Mr. Thomas Mellish, the con- tractor, it is now progressing rapidly. That portion of the breakwater which was carried away by the great storm of the 22nd of August, has been restored, and the cribs for the addition to the seaward wall of the etructure are now under construction. One of these new cribs was demolished in the last great storm. But the timber for otners is ready to place in position in the water. The carelessness of the active and hardy men engaged in this work concerning wet feet j and legs and bodiew, would astonish the | tender feet of our city dudes; but they seem not to suffer from colds, and the doctors receive little if any of their wage earnings. The length of the new work to form an outer protecting wall for the breakwater is 350 feet. At the point nearest the shore at which it begins, it extends 16 feet from the outer edge of the breakwater into the sea, and at the further end it ex- tends so far that the breakwater when completed will at that point be sixty-six feet wide. The whole will be faced with piles of square hard-wood timber driven deep into the bottom of the hay, and from the top of the piles to the floor of the breakwaxer there will rise an upward slope of twelve or thirteen feet of hardwood sheathing. The cribs are to be | ballasted full of stone and the whole work constructed in the most substantial way. The foreman for the contractors is Mr. Thomas Cantwell and the supervisor on

i

'

| the part of the Government is Mr. Peter | N. Macdonald, both men of good repn- | tation in respect to the construction of |} such work. Altogether there are the best | guarantees that the important work under {taken by Messrs. Thomas Mellish and | George Wightman will be well done and | that the harbor of Souris will, after the } contemplated extension of next year is | completed, be safe for many years to come. This is the more to be desired as | Souris isa principal resort for fishing vessels frequenting our coast,as well as of vessels engaged in the export trade dur- ing the stormy eeasons of fall and early winter.

and interesting points of the vicinity ; and |

The political jobbery of the Government in view of a provincial election, is. de nounced on every hand. Jobs of $100, jobs of $50, big jobs, little jobs, straight and crooked jobs, jobs of all kinds and descriptions are, it is reported, being Javished upon individual electors through- out the first district, in the vain hope of securing a majority for the fine gentleman who is at the head of our public works. While some needed works are ne- glected, wharves are being built which are not needed, roads are | being opened which run almost close to and parallel gwith} roads which are al- | ready in existence; public ways are bein | made for the private advantage of this ‘iad that elector who has demanded of the grit candidates some return for his politi- cal ee credit of the Province is being pledged at the banks, where a heavy debt is being heaped up, in order that money may be had to purchase votes for the precious politician who now,by the acci- dent of an accident, hold office. All this

nena

possesses the Col- i

diture of public money before public money shall be expended upon any work. It is pleasing to learn that, notwithstand- ing this rascally and ruinous conduct on the part of the Government, the prospects of Messrs. Morson and Kickham’s election are daily growing brighter. THE WORLD'S FAIR.

Only a short time remains in which to visit the world’s fair, It has been a far greater suecess financially than had-been anticipated in the early summer. So far as the show itself is concerned, all visitor: agree in describing it as marvellous; ap when if variety, volume and sign fican ire considered, even this term seems in alequdte! When one pauses to think tha butafew years ago the very site of the

| conception of tive rate at which the world i | progressing dawns upon and almost bewil

lers the mund. There have been macy pro-

| vincial visitors at the Fair, and many more

will register there before its close, The city of Chicago is in it-elf a wonder world

| to the visiter, in its vastness and variety.

In a careful study of its people and the climatic etlects, nothing is more noticeable

than the prevalence of catarrh. It is a peculiarity resulting from the climate, and is noted by the medical authorities. Un-

fortunately this annoying and debilitating diséase is not confined to Chicago. There are numerous cases of catarrh in there Lower Provinces. It is therefore of the greatest importance that a remedy which has proved its ability to cure the most ob-

| stinate cases should be brought into gen- | eral use. This remedy is Hawker'’s Cat- | arrh Cure, the most effective in curative

power ofany before the public today. The Hawker Medicine Co. can furnish testimonials and references regarding Hawker’s Catarrh Cure that no reader of thi: paper will for a moment question. Capt. 8. F. Belyea, of Greenwich, King’s Co., N. B., under date of Oct. 6th, writes

| to the company that an aggravated form

of catarrh had in his case closed the nasal passages so that he could scarcely breathe, had induced serious deafness and caused him great pain and trouble. He tried many remedies, but all failed until he got Hawker’s Catarrh Cure, three 25 cent packages of which affected acure. “I can honesthy:aiay,” writes Capt. Belyea. “that | am practically well,and I take great pleas- ure in recommending Hawker’s Catarrh Cure to those who may be suffering . from this very tronvlesome disease.”

—> +e -———— MEDICAL STUDIES FOR WOMEN.

If I had only known a few ofthe facts about simple medical practice,” said a young mother, “I might have saved my- self months of suffering and an enormous doctor’s bill. But I was brought up to think that girls should not know about such things and tosend forthe doctor whenever anything happened. Indeed,the stereotype phrases, “Send for the doctor at once,” is tacked on to all directions and advice of all sorts"wherever one may find it. Isee no necessity whatever for this everlasting racing after a physician, when a little common sense on the part «fthe mother of the family would set everything right and save money and mis- ery as well astime and trouble. I think every woman should have at least a limit- ed course in simple medicines and surgery. Any girlwho isold enough to marry and assume the duties and responsibilities of that relation is old enough to understand the fundamental rules of health, and should be expected to know what to do in ordinary emergencies. Instead of this, the idea is carried that she must under all circumstances call in a doctor and follow his advice, with a good bill to pay after- ward. Of course doctors have to live, an/l it is only natural that they sould discour- age household medication. All the same, there ought to be a young mother’s scheol of medication, in which physiology, hygiene and the symptoms of the more or- dinary diseases conld be so ex- plained and demonstrated that the woman would know what to do in case. of sudden illness or accident. It is not reasonable to say that such knowl- edge would in any way prove disastrous. The more familiar one becomes with dis- ease and its indications, the more readily one can form an idea of the necessities of the case. No rational person would, of course, advocate neglecting those who are sick. In most cases neglect comes from ignorance of the fact that med.cal assistance is required. Some one is uil- ing, but inthe absence of clearly defined knowledge of the requirements of the sit- uation the disease is allowed to run on un- til it assumes some serious phase. If the father or mother understood enough of ex.sting conditions to realize that there was danger ahead, many lives might be saved by the timely application of suit- able remedies. It is, therefore urged, and with great show of reason, that very much more attention to every-day medi- cal study be given. Any person of aver- age intelligence can realily master the primary rules of the profession and can educate the eye and perceptions to such an extent that the symptoms of disease may.-be detected at once.

“Having gone thus far, pactical, every day observation will supplement the knowledge’ already acquired and enable the parents ‘to’ understand when the ne- ceasity for calling in medical counsel ex- iste. It is often the case that for lack of knowledge disease gets such a hold on the patient that all the skill of the best prac- titioner is powerless to combat it.”

—_— HER CHILDREN CALL HER BLESSED

There is at present living. in Alberton, P. E. Island, an aged lady, a Mrs. Hen- derson, who is the mother of twelve chil dren, and has seventy-six grand children, one hundred and seventy great grand children, and three great-great grand childrenh,—in all two hundred and sixty- one. Mrs Henderson is in full posses- sion of all her faculties. Thos. McLean, of Charlottetewn, my informant, who is her grandson, saw “her on thé 25th of September. A few days previous to his visiting her, she had travelled over five miles in a wagon, and alighted as nimbly as any young girl of siateen. The vener- able matron above referred to was born at Ponda, Nov. Ist, 1801 Her maiden name was Abigal Patton. She was mar- ried to Thomas Henderson, who came to this country from Tynron, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, in company with ais brother th- late James Henderson, of Ponds, in the spring of 1820, ina brig named Diana, bound for Quehec.

EXHIBITION NOTES.

BY JOHN B. FINCH

At a fair, some time since, I addressed a very large audience iu the forenoon; in the afternoon I was walking about the grounds looking at the exhibition, when aman

came up to me and said :

“Are you the man who talked temper-

ance this forenoon ?” “Yes; prohibition and temperance.”

He said, “Well, it all means the same.”

I told him some people thought so.

“Now,” said he, “I do not want to | insult you.” I felt it was execeding!y for-

tunate both for him and for “me, it might

save unpleasantness, He said, “I ama liguer dealer, and the managers of this fardidadirty mean thing to get you here. This fair represents all industries, |

baby act in this country. It mu-t stand on the same plan of political economy with every other trade. It must*be judged by its results.

ee TOBACCO AFFECTS THE FINER SENSIBILITIES.

Tobacco excites the base of the brain and lowers the moral tone. To illustrate thie, permit me to introduce to you a beautiful girl of sixteen. She shall be as sweet as your imagination can paint her. Each one of you would be proud and happy if you could point to her and say, “That is my sister.” Let ue listen to her conversation: - With a radiant countenance she describes the flowers and b'rds of her garden. No expression of face, nodtone of voice, no word but savers of sweetness and love. Let her chew or smoke tobacco five years, and can you believe that then her spirit, her morai level, would be what they erenow? To say nothing of her lips, tongue and breath, do you believe she would be as sweet in her soul as she is now? And can you give me any good reason why her:brother should escape demoralization? Is it not probably true that the vulgar stories, saying nothing of the saliva nastines*, of the smoking-car and other rmoking rooms, are the legiti- mate fruit of tobacco ?

No devotee of the weed has ¢:aduated at the head of his class at Harvard, or any other college where statistics have been preserved, notwithstanding the fact that a large majority of college students” ‘are smokers. Even the moderate use of tobacco compromises the muse!e and yerve of all candidates for athletic honors, soils the mouth, the breath, the perspiration, and the whole social, moral, and religious being. ‘

I know I but echo the voice of q!re wise ones of the world when I say that tobacco paralyzes the moral sensibilities more than almost any other hab in which civilized men inlulge. - Dio Lewie.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Orrawa, Oct. 12.—Mr. VanBruyssel, Belgian consul-general, interviewed Sir John Thompson to-day, in reference to

| Canada participating officially in the inter-

national exhibition at Antwerp next year. Inasmuch as the Dominion took part in a similar exhibition at Antwerp eight years ago, it seems doubtful whether anything will be done on an extended scale at the coming exposition; but it is suggested that a handsome agricultural trophy might be erected, which would do much towards attracting the attention of the Belgians to the agricultural resources of this country.

Monrreat, October 12.—Rev. Father O’Gorman, of Washington, writes to a friend here the following note: “Mgr. Satolli has no jurisdiction over the church in Canada for the reason that the mandate of the Holy Father by which Mgr. Satolli is created and commissioned as legate, specifies as his field. of iabor the United States and no other portion of America. The mission of Mgr. Satolli is not exactly the samesas was the mission of Mer. Conroy. The commission given to Bishop Conroy, included specifically Canada. That given to Satolli does not. It is the terms of the commission that are laid in the matter and mark the extent of the inission.

Cuicaco, Oct. 12— The special com- mittee recently appointed to consider the question of keeping the fair open after this month is practically in favor of doing so as long as the weather will permit, and as long as the people come in sufficient num- bers to make it profitable. The plan is to continue charging the present admission fees and induce as many foreign and American exhibitors to keep their displays as intact as possible. Many have agreed to do so.

Hamitroyx, Oct. 12.—A request has been made to President Charlton of the Hamilton street railway by members of the Presbyterian church and by Rev. E. M. Band, of Chriet church Cathedral, to establish a Sunday church service similar tothe old system. There is nothing in the bye-law to prevent the company from running trolley cars on Sunday if it is desired, and some of the directors are in favor of giving a service from 9 a. m. to 9 p-m., but this will hardly be done till there is a demand for Sunday care.

Come in and look over our shelves; you will be almost certain to find romething new to read. A customer buying a two cent paper served as cheerfully as a five dollar purchaser. We are here to serve the public, and we mean to do our part to the very best of our ability.
