(Don, in Saturday Night.) I have aIWays been of the opinion that the Ontario Government hate had a string on too many offieials and that they have been able to obtain an t1toqutsationing support by the use or misuse of patronage. In the present instance. however, any argument up- on this question is unnecessary. The legality of elections should not be " tacked because men votel wlo for thirty years have always had the un- questioned privilege of voting, and who, according to the interpretation of the law by both parties, had an acknowledged but perhaps not tech- nical right to vote. It is admitted that constables are appointed to keep the peace and to serve the interests of both parties, and having enjoyed the franchise for so many years, the taking it away from them would be for tech- nical reasons, perhaps involving per- sonal prosecutions, and therefore it would not be in harmony with public _ opinion or within the intentions cf the statute. Of course it has not been de- cided that thejudges would hold that constables may not vote, but in ad- vance of any decision, the men who come. fresh from the, people are the ones to decide as to whether this mat- ter shall influence the result of the election. It may be that the legisla- ture will not take the prtsmier'ss view of the question, that is for the legisla i ture to decide. But the men who will' composethat body will be more re- spected in their position than the judges would have been had it been left for them. The people make the laws and collectively they are conse- qvnirly superior to them to the extent that their representatives may change them; that is to say, as the cause is greater than the effect, the people who make laws have a perfect right to amend them. la the body which will ”assemble in August, those who have had apparent majorities in the con- trtituteneitsa will deliberate upon the questions at issue. They will decide as to whether technicalities shall over- ride what was clearly the intention of the electorate. In advance of the discussion and disclosures which may be made, it is impossible to say that these constables were appointed in or. der to obtain-their votes or in order to maintain an orderly, decent and legiti- mate election. These questions will be threshed out,but no government should be overturned on a technicality, and no opposition should be willing to seize upon an ill-worded paragraph of a statute in order to obtain power. It is to be presumed that what we desire in Ontario is that the public voice shall always be heard, no matter what the literal and legal meaning of a statute may make possible. .

W1lmot Council. Tp Clerk. The presents were handsome and attest the popularity of the bride, who has been prominent in social and mus ical circles for years. A very pretty wedding took place on Wednesday afternoon in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Berlin, when Miss Clara Speaker, daughter of tMrs. M, Specker, Weber street, one of Berlin’s Fairest and most accomplished daugh. ters, was united in marriage to one of Waterloo’s most estim- able and enterprising young business men, in the person of Mr.Jacob Conrad. At precisely4.15p.m.,the hour fixed for the ceremony, the groom and grooms man took their places before the altar which was prettily decorated with palms and in a few minutes the bride, pre- ceded by the bridesmaids entered lean- ing on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Wm. Allomang. The bride looked charming costumed in white brocaded silk with veil and myrtle wreath and carried a shower boquet of roses.Sbe was attend- ed by her sister, Miss Louisa Specker. prettly gowned in pink silk. The Misses Otilla and Martha Conrad, sisters of the groom, acted as bridesmaids, and were becomingly attired in organdy over yellow silk, and carried bogus t of sweet peas. The groomlwats attended by Mr. Otto Specker, brother of the bride, while Messrs, Andres, ofSpring- field, Ill,, and A, K. Jansen, of Berlin, officiated as ushers. The knot was securely tied by the Rev. Boese, pastor of the church, after which the bridal party moved down the aisle to the stirring strains of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, played by Miss Emma Zoellner, and were then conveyed in cabs to the residence of the bride's mother. After the bride and groom had received the hearty congratulations of their friends present, an excellent dejeuner was served on the lawn, after which the happy couple left for Cleveland, Detroit and other American cities, fol. lowed by the hearty well wishes of hosts of friends in Berlin and Waterloo, for a. long and happy wedded life. On their return Mr, and Mrs. Conrad will take up their residence in Waterloo on Young St , where Mrs. Conrad will be at home to her numerous friends after August 16. Among the guests present were friends from Springfield, Ill., Buffalo, TorontoiPrtstoa, Gals, New Hamburg, Elmira.

"Dinny" Martin, Berlin’s veteran twirler, pitched good ball, only iive hits being charged against his delivery. Hendry, Koehler and Allward, of Waterloo, played star ball, Hendry accepting seven chances at short without an error. As will be seen by the appended score, "Shiner" Jennings, of last year's Waterloo’s, is still in tl a game, but is now playing in Stratfuid company.

The health of a woman's babies is dependent upon her own health during the period of prospective maternity. The prospective mother cannot be too par- ticular about her physical condition.
