Spring: time is here, and a word on :the sanitary line may not be amiss. The past winter was mild, and more than an average amount oi siokness prevailed. La grippe visited almost .every family, causing much distress and leaving many a vacant chair. The dregs of that disease lingers in the system of scores, and if timely pre- cautions are not adopted our village and community is liable to 6u£fer from a visitation of diphtheria, typhoid -fever, measles and other ailmeuis which are developed by the want of proper sanitary conditions. Every family should take a course of bloo.1-purifying medicine, from the oldest to the youngest then eveiy yard should be thoroughly cleaned, every closet disinfected, every room in the house ventilated and eyery sleep- ,ing apartment supplied with fresh air by the window sash being lowered at the top during the night. If common aense and our better judgment were allowed to act m the matter of ventil- ation for sleeping apartments, there would be less sickness and more vitality. Prompt action in regard to those simple sanitary matters may preyent untold suffering and expense. CORRESPONDENCE. A good reliable correspondent is a valuable adjunct to a newspaper, while a staff of correspondents who supply the news of the surrounding district in an intelligent, spicy manner, with- out personal offence to any, is a pow- erful aid in the success of a paper. A correspondent should always ex- ercise his judgement in writing the items of his locality so as to promote the best interests of the paper for which he writes, and eyen then, the editor has the right to exercise his judgment as to whether he will pub- lish all he receives from his corres- pondents. The correspondents have also rights ^nd privileges which the publisher is in duty bound to respect. We often have a batch of news by way of cor- respondence from other persons where we haye a regular correspondent, and have to declme publishing same, simply because tnat would be en- croaching on our regular correspond- ents territory. Very interesting and well written news items are frequently consigned to the waste basket in that way which we would otherwise gladly publiah. There are other features which we may refer to at a future time. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Waterford had a $75,000 fire on Monday. â€" ^Farmers in many parts of Mani- toba are seeding. â€" The Ontario Legislature was pro- rogued on Monday. â€" Hamilton is building a new school at a cost of $19,000. â€" A protest has been filed against the election of Dr. Montague of Haldi- mand. â€" Thirteen Chinese were arrested Sunday night in fm attempt to cross the line between Mexico and the United States. â€" ^The by-law granting the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway $275,: â- OOO was carried by the property-own- ers of Hamilton last week by a vote of 3,697 to816. â€" ^A Commisnon has been noom* mended by the U. S. House Commit* tee ou BaSwwys and Cftoate to make a defiipt».liBN^ for ^keaaal s^oaad â€" Some of the Reformers of Ontario seem to have adopted the very unre- formed theory that the Government officers exist for the good of the per- sons appointed to them. It is practi- cally impossible to get this idea out of the heads of certain classes of the community which have an undoubted gift in the way of scheniing for places at the public crib but it is altogether beneath men who wish to be counted as Liberals to make the demand that the places in the public service be re- served for any class of men, even though that class include all Canadi- ans. The Crovefnment, however little it may understand it, has only one duty in the matter of civil service ap- pointments, and that is to do as any private employer would do, get the best man he can find for each position wherever he can find him. The bill to limit the Civil Service to Canadians may aim at a certain sort of advantage to Canadian office seekers, who are after all a limited class, but it is direct- ly against the interests of Canadians generally, who in this matter are the employers and not the employed. With the tremendous pressure being constantly exercised by Oanadians for these appointments one would think that tiie danger of the Government giving theia uuadvisedly to strangers would be infinitely small. â€" The Congress of the United States cannot now, in dealing with the tariff, be expected to have any regard for the interests of reciprocity between Canada and the United States, and if it de- cides to adopt retaliatory measures it has in the Foster tariff changes cnly too good an excuse. The duty on egge, the increased duty on horses, on barley and on sheep, proposed in the first dratt of the Ways and iilfcans Commit- tee's report can now hardly fail to pass and if the imposition of duties upon fruit, in violation of the statutory offer of reciprocity, and the new pork and lard duties du not provoke general re- taUation, then Canada may count herself lucky. The Ways and Means Committee, without, of course, taking either the interests or the actions of Canada into the account, have embod- ied in their completed report some changes in duties that will be decided- ly for our benefit. The duty upon pine lumber has been reduced by fifty cents a thousand, that upon timber by fifty per cent., and wood pulp for the manufacture of paper has been put upon the free list. If these changes should carry, the lumber interests of Canada will be benefited, but it will be a long time before the wood pulp business is of the importance that the endangered egg trade now is.

The iJrass Band was entertained to an oyster supper at the residence of Mr. Geo. Nixon last week. The Library of the Mechanics' In- stitute opens with a nucleus of 230 volumes, with the prospect of about 200 more being added before long.
