The Toronto Mail and Empire fore- shadows a number of political picnics in Ontario during September next, “similar to those which in 1878 so materially con- tributed to the return of the National Policy Government." Very effective Was the Conservative campaigning of 1878, as many of our middle-aged and older readers will remember. But the conditions were very diferent then from what they are now. Hard times were abroad in the land a succession of bad harvests had impover-_ ished the Ontario farmers, who could not_ pay their bills, and this caused a host of f_ailures in the business fand trading com munity. There was a paralysis of manu- facturing industry, a general shrinkage of values, and the Government of the day was afhicted with a formidable succession of deficits. ’ Advantage was taken of these condi- tions by Sir J ohnMacdonald who present- ed to the country his National Policy, asia sort of panacea for all the ills that afflicted the Dominion. The astute Conservative leader knew the great advantage of hav- ing somethingpositive to offer the people; In 1867 it was Confederation. the Inter- Colonial Railway and inter-provincial free trade. In 1872 it was the Tra.ns-Contin; ental Railway and the extension of the Dominion to the Pacific. In 1878 he olfer- ed the National Policy of protection for Canadian industries, coupled with the catchy phrase, Canada lor the Canadians. In each instance he carried the country with him. At. the present time the conditions are not only different from what they were in 1878, but almost the exact opposite. The times are good no w, trade, industry and revenue are breaking all past records. Instead of an alarming deflcit,the biggest surplus on record has just been rolled up. Such are the- general conditions which favor the party 'in power at the present moment. And on the O pposition side there is a notable absence of a great, posi- tive and captivating policy such as Sir John Macdonald was wont to present to the country on the eve of an ¢le<>i2i0I1- This is the great want of the Opposition at the present time. ' A mere policy of negation andattack upon the Government of the day is not suiiicient, great and strongas the Conservative party is and always has been in Canada. External conditions, good crops, and prosperous industries, expanding trade and an overilowing treasury are all in favor of the Government of the day. Gov- i ernments do not always come in or go out on their merits or demerits The Liber l 1 _ ' i llllll .__ medicine that Will cure Dia.- Kjui Y betes.

On the other 1879, not because it was not capable, hon- est and economical, but because the times were bad, the people despondeut, . and Sir John Macdonald raised their hopes with the promise of e. newldeparture and a change for the better. It may be that between this and the general election the Conservative leaders may evolve some clear-cut, original and striking policv which will attract the favorable notice of the country. So for no such policy is in sight, though to the Conservative party it is the one thing needful. ..___..___. It now trauspires on good authority that a recent period of inactivity in South Africa was due to the somewhat serious illness of Lord Roberts-so serious that Lady Roberts was sent for in great haste. There is alsoarepctition of the report that there has been for months past a decided lack of cordiality between the Field Marshal and Lora Kitchener, which at one time was so acute that it was ex- pected t-he hero of the Soudan would be sent home. Lord Roberts’ illness also gave rise to some speculation as' to who would succeed him in the chief command in South Africa in the event of his total disability. The military critics appear to be agreed that Gen. Buller would in that case again become Commander in Chief, unless the War Office made a new ap- pointment. Just as there were Boer sympathisers a few months ago, so there are not a few who think that something may yet be said in behalf of China and the Chinese. This is the way the Philadelphia Ameri- can puts it: - Should all China rise in arms, drive out every foreigner and then essay aggression on her own account, the civilized powers would have only themselves to blame. They have been behaving toward her like so many pirate captains, each demanding .a fair share of the loot as the price of his co-operation in the common robbery and agreeing not to usehis pistols upon the others. A pack of burglars planninglto plunder a house could not have shown less conscience or less shame for being crimi- nals. We noted the other day the Toronto World’s censure of the City Council there. Apparently the bulk of the citizens share in ths World’s bad opinion of the Council, for of six by-laws submitted by the Coun- cil for the approval of the electors all and one by-law was defeated by a vote of 20 to 1. ` [_ ag * Wornout Nerves. eo leak alia Gouldirt Sleep or Work- llands Trembled-Gould Scaroely Walk -Restored by Dr. chaaa’s Nei-va Food.

My hands trembled so that I could not carry n pint of water. I was too nervous to sleep, and unable to do work of any ‘ kind, 1' Since using Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food I have been completely restored. I can walk a. mile without any inconvenience. Though 76 years old, and quite fleshy, I do my own housework, and consider- able sewing, knitting, and reading' be- sides.
