The Toronto dailies have shut down on publishing the prize lists for the Industrial, or other Exhibitions unles paid for at the regular adver- tising rates, while several country papers have come to the same con- clusion. There is perhaps no question with- ,out two sides, while this one is no ex- ception to the rule. While the pub- lishing of those lists are the source of untold annoyance to the publisher, (and of course the more of them the worse) yet as a rule, the prize list is sought after and read by the majority of subscribers in the vicinity of the exhibition, more than any other mat- ter the publisher can furnish in its place. We are however inclined to coincide with the growing and ex- pressed feeling of the press. THE QUEBEC ELECTIONS- The elections for the Quebec Legis- lature took place last Thursday but it seems difficulty to decide jusc how the result stands. The World is the most reliable paper at present to gain information on siich a point, and it gives the result as follows â€" Conserva- tives 31, Liberals 29 and Independent 4, The latter will be equally divided, thus giving the liberals two of a majority. THE WEEKLY PAPEKS, Its sphere is one of great power. It has an influence that the daily press does not possess. Weeklies are not thrown aside, but kept for perusal. People do not look at them chiefly for] telegraphic intelligence, the record of the stock market, or immediate news of the moment. They expect careful and well-considered opinions, founded upon reflection. These papers are something more than the photograph of the passing period. They are pre- pared with a view to being read rather than being skimmed, and the time devoted to them is not snatched from business or from the daily occupation. The weekly paper is prized in the household, is read by aU the family, and is more likely to be preserved than is any other issue of the press. This is what gives it influence far be- yond its nominal circulation and the more a paper preserves the distm;tive features of weekly journalism, the greater its advantage in these respects. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. Newspaper advertising is now recog- nized, by business men having faith in their own wares, as. the most effec- tive means for securing for their goods wide recognition with their merits. Newspaper advertising compels in- quiry, and when the article offered is of good quality and at a fair price the natural result is increasing sdes. Newspaper advertising is a per- manent addition to the reputation of the goods advertised, because it is a permanent influence always at work in their iutrest. Newrpaper advertising is the most energetic and vigilant of salesmen, Addressing thoubands each day, always in the advertiser's iutrest, and cease lessly at work seeking customers from ail classes. Newspaper advertising promotej Irade, for even in the dullest times advertisers secure by far the larg- est sbare of what is being done. Willie the advertiser eats and sleeps printers, steam engines and printing presses are at work tor lum,^ trains are benring his word to thousands of t-)wus and hundred of thousands of leuders, nil of whom glancing with interest at the message prepared The Rey's Jones and Small continue to draw immense crowds to hear them in Toronto. We had the pleasure of listening to both this week and were, not a little, surprised at the congrega- tions, from 2,000 to 6,000 at each service varying accordmg to tbe hour, not apparently affected by the inclem- ency of the weather, as they are in Markdale. All the daily papers devote large space in reporting the sermons, some over a page daily, thus showing the general mterest manifested. Jones natural, or what many term "slaug'y." His illustrations given in common-place language, but wonder- fully searching and well applied. Rev. Small is the opposite, his language dignified, well chosen and grandly eloquent. Following are some of Sam. Jones' Afhobibub. Hope is but a mile post on the tray to Heaven. I believe Christianity is nothing more or less than doing the best you can under the circumstarces. God does not judge by numbers God goes by weight, many a good, fat 200 lbs. adver- dupoised Meihodist won't count an ounce in God's scales. What a blessed family that is where each is unselfish and kind to the other. Where is the woman who can stand up and â- ay, "I never said an unkind word to my sis- ter?" She is here to night, but she hasn't got any sister. Brother, let you and I spend the rest of our days controlling our tongues for good. You drink beer for your health your child- ren because thoy like it. If your son gets religion and goes to your cold, careless home, it will not be six months before he is as bad as yon are, and you will say that Jones had better come back again and convert him over. If you follow the footsteps of Christ you never will mislead one of your children. If the pulpit thinks that it can dodge the question of capital and labor, it has got tobe the best dodging mach'ne in this world. There are two many big piles of money, and too many poor men. Ten hundred million dollars is too much for one man, and half a dollar is too littl« for another. Be right and do right, and that is the only assurance in this world that God will proteo us. If you will show me a praying pew, I w3I â- how you a powerful pulpit. It takes a first-class preacher and a first, class hearer to get up a first-class sermon. It's as much your duty to get ready to hear as it is my duty to get ready to preach. Kiches is as much in the way of religion as poverty. Oh. brothers, let you and I realize that if we ever get to heaven there must be a pro cess of making symmetrical and beautiful a character otherwise very unloving indeed. You can't lay down your religion to-day and take it up again to-monrow and go on with it' There's but one road to God's moral un- iverse with heaven at one end and hell at th« other. The question ain't which road are you on, but which way are you going Sin not only makes a man a rascal but makes him a fooL We are opening up a choice finely selected stock of and TOufr' :dale 'aad, '^ovw Fall and Winter GOODS at surprisingly LOW PBIOBS, while all goods remaining of Mr J.
