It is quite a complicated document and the average elector who doesn‘t vote the straight party ticket will have conâ€" siderable difficulty to mark it properly. The names of the six presidential canâ€" didates are placed at the top and unâ€" derneath each a cirele in which the cross is to be marked or stamped. Beâ€" low the presidential candidate are the names of the candidates for the various State,Congressional, Presidential, Legâ€" islative and County offices e ch with a square before it for marking with the cross, On this particular ballot there are nine State officers to be elected, a representative in Congress, 14 electors of President and Viceâ€"President, a State Senator and representative in the State Legislature and nine county offiâ€" ces from that of sherift to surveyor. In their reports to the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa the agents in Great Britain of that Department make many references to the packages in which Canadian cheese are placed for export. The agent in London says: "Many boxes are broken because they are not strong enough. They should have strong hoops or the covers will come off. Some are landed tied up with string, which the steamship people say is put on by the steamship people in Canada, when the boxes come ont of the railway cars with loose covers." â€" The agent at Liverpool says: ‘‘There is always a certain proportion of cheese boxes broken, due to poor boxes and boxes which are too large for the cheese." The agent at Bristol writes: ‘"If consigners would be more particular in fastening covers to boxes, goods would arrive here in better conâ€" dition than they do now. I faik to understand how they can be so negliâ€" gent. Some boxes are very illâ€"fitting, and are not what they should be.

Arpu-fly they could not live without it. + The Dreyfus case is forgotten, the Exposiâ€" tion is over, An[gu Paul Kruger the his turn. Great Britain while keenly following Kruger‘s movements, is not likely to be much disturbed over his European peregrinations. The yelling of the mob at his heels signifiee noâ€" thing, so long as he receives no official recognition from the heads of the States through which he passes. And this he will not receive, even in crazy Paris. _ Kruger will march through Europe, receive boquets and flattering addresses but nothing more. The end of his wanderings should mean the end of the war. If he be so humane as be pretends, he will not permit his poor burghers to continue a struggle which can only end one way. ‘They possibly hope for intervention on their behaif, as an outcome of their president‘s visit to Europe. When this last delusion is dispelled they must surely perceive the wisdom of returning to the arts of peace. _ Then, for the first time, will they enjoy real liberty.

Two years ago my health became so bad that another doctor was cailed in, and hbe stated that my case was a most severe type of anaeia, and that while he could help me the trouble had proâ€" greased to such a stage that he could hold out little hopes of a cure. At this time I was as pale as chalk, my eyelids were swollen and would hang dowt over my eyes like sacks or water. My. feet and limbs would swell, and were always cold. I was subject to violent uweadaches, severe palpitation of the heart, and if I stooped over I would be so dizzy that I could scarecly regain an upright pesition. My appetite failâ€" ed me almost entirely,‘ and I grew so weak that I was a mere wreck. While in this condition I read in a newspaper of the cure of a young girl whose case was much like mine, through the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and I deâ€" termined to try them. Those who knew me did not think any medicine could do me any good or that I would ever get better, but I determined at all events to give the pills a fair trial I bave used them for nearly a year with the result that I feel like a new person. The swelling in my eyelids and limbs has disappeared; my appetite is good and my face is regaining the color which left it years ago. I can sew and do work about the house, and this great change in my condition is due solely to the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. It is not too little to say that they have saved my life and I strongly urge girle who are similarly afilicted to give them a thorough trial.

The true system of taxation will mever be found by any modern Dioâ€" genes who seeks it along the limes of taxation according to ability to pay taxes, or taxation of everything in sight. Men should be taxed according to the extept to which they enjoy the natural opportunities to the exclusion of others. The community produces a value which in equity belongs to the community, and it is sufficient for every legitimate purpose. Taxing products represses production; taxing improveâ€" ments discourages improvement; taxing commerce restricts exchange; taxing the products of industry is a premium on idleness; but taxing land values stimurates to the use of land, multiplies opportunity to labor, and takes for the whole people a portion of the fund created by the people. A good many of the representatives at the Assessâ€" ‘menl: Commission ought to take a few days off to study up theé question of. taxation. . Someof them seem concernâ€" ed only in arriving at a scheme which will enable the assessors to get the greatest possible amount of preperty. ‘Tax everything in sight," is their motto, and the question of justice neve? enters into the computation. Jt is not likely that anything worth much can come out of such a discussion.â€"Hamil ton Tiies. £ Fainting mid lifes desert dreary, Gentle words the pilgrim cheer; Sweet as slumber to the weary, Falls their music on his ear.

Hamilton Post:â€"Little by little the big scheme to connect Hamilton with Galt and Guelph by electric railway is being brought about and arranged satâ€" isfactorily. The question of right of way for the proposed road has been talked of for montbs. _ Now matters are in a different position and the City Solicitor has been instructed to prepare a byâ€"law to be submitted to the people on the 7th of January next, for raising $75,000 for the purpose of taking $35,â€" 000 stock in the Galt and Guelph road, and providing $40,000 for the widenâ€" ing of York street to a uniform width of 68 feet from Queen street west to Dandarn. _ ‘This proposition was sugâ€" gested by Ald TenEyck at a meeting of the finance committee last night, and the idea was at once sized up as the most common sense one made since the subject was taken hold of. This will leave the matter of widening York St to next year‘s council, and it will say whether all the land shall be taken off one side of the street or off both. ‘The The proposition meets with the fulleat approval of Mr. Patterson, who thinks that it will be acceptable to the other promoters. The despatches from Pretoria anâ€" nounce the death on the 9th inst., of Pte. John Moore, formerly of the Lorne Rifles, Acton, who enlisted with D Battery, in the Gucluh contingent. Mr. John Moore has been a resident of Acton since his fourtsenth year. He was a sergeant in No. 6 Company, \ Halton, Lorne Rifles, and was 36 years \ years old on Oct. lst. _ He joined the company leaving Guelph in January, and left with them for South Africa. His father has becn prineipal of the Acton Public schoul for the past 22 years. _ His mother is also living. They had received m letter from him this week, in which be said he had been laid up but was better and was going to join the baitery again. The sudden announcement of his decease will be a great shock to his family and the people of Acton. His death is the first in the company that left Gaelph so far as known. seasons of happiness upon a noble bride and groom. The te, which were numerous, awrwm costly, besides many expressions of esteem in the community, show the enviable reâ€" gard, in which the bride is held by those who know her well.
