C DAVID BEAN, Proprietor. hes Bubscription $1.00 per ansum in ad vance,.#..50 ‘A threeâ€"cornered fight is promised in South Wellington. The Prohibiâ€" tionists‘ held . a meeting in Gueiph recently and appointed a committet to select a candidate. "Candidate L.â€"J. Breithaupt‘s affaâ€" ble manner and kindly ways are daily winning for him friends from both sides of politics. Mr. Breiâ€" thaupt is ‘a gentleman that wears well, in fact the better he is known the more he is liked and respected. The Ross Government is developing New Ontario ° byololving the transâ€" portation problem. It is furnishing means to get people in and carry their products out. The result is seen in a settlement of 150,000 perâ€" sons, where a few years ago . there were but 16,000. And their trade is being kept for Ontario. % Notwithstanding _ the phenomenal growth and development of the Proâ€" vince of Ontario during the last deâ€" cade, we are now on the eve of a growing time such as heretofore has never been experienced. We . only require a faithful and courageous adâ€" herence to the policy inaugurated by the Ross Government. The Havelock Standard, which has never before supported the Ross Government, came out last week i{y:. strong advocacy of a return to power of the present administraâ€" tion. The Standard believes that the business interests of the proâ€" vince demand the retention in office of the Ross Government. The policy pursued by the Onâ€" tario Government in opening up New Ontario is a wise one, and cannot be otherwise than a prolific source of profit to older Ontario, inasmuch as it will open up a vast market for out manufactured goods, and the building of railways through this richly timâ€" bered country will be the means of furnishing our factories with lumber in endless variety and quantity. ‘There is an Act on the statutes of Ontario which may be cited as the Liquor . Act of 1902, which provides that a referendum shall be subâ€" mitted to the people of the province on the 4th day of December, 1902. The vote of the qualified electorsâ€"of the province will determine on that day whether we shall enforce the Liquor Act of 1902 in Ontario ot the reverss. Ask those who talk about increases rovincial expenditures, if they are :xre of the share of Provincial m&y‘fs paid in assisting Waterloo County by the Liberal Government. At Waterloo the other night Hon.:! Mr. Stratton gave some valuable and interesting statistics in this regard. He showed _ that $755,133.36 had been expended to assist the County of Waterloo, nearly $50,000 being given to assist their Agricultural Societies, $263,000 for Public, Sepâ€" arate and High Schools, $51,000 for the Mechanics‘ Institutes, $45,000 for the benefit of the deaf, dumb and blind from _ Waterloo County, $60,â€" 000 for the maintenance of prisonâ€" ers, of boys and women in the Reâ€" formatory, $216,000 for unfortunates maintained at the expense of the province in the asylums. We cannot have this money and expend it. Speaking at Waterloo Mr. L. J. Breithaupt, M. P. P., clearly . exâ€" plained his attitude on the referenâ€" dum. The question, he said, was not prohibition or no prohibition, as sometimes falsely stated. It was gimply whether the people themselves should decide or not. He is willing to trust the peopie every time. Mr. Whitney and some of his followers did not seem willing to leave <this farâ€"reaching question to the people i this province. Had Mr. Whitney‘s motion carried, this vexatious quesâ€" tion would come up at every session Of the House. Mr. Whitney‘s attiâ€" ®ude reminded one of the old lady who tried to sweep back the tide with her broom.. Why not face the matter boldly and manfully now and get it out of the arema of politics, and the sooner this is done the betâ€" ter for the country. iy. . He i o o en 2e h ;: EDITORIAL NOTES.

There was comparatively little discussion, owâ€" ing to the fact that the members of the Council did nearly all of their talking at the two midnight sesâ€" sions _ of the various committees. The Finance Committee submitted five reports, all of which were very important, and had been thoroughly looked into by the members of the Council. From F. Colquhoun, giving notice of his intention to appeal to the County Judge from the decision of the Court of Revision, on the ground that no portion of the cost of the cement walk constructed along lots 290, 291 and 292, . Hoflâ€" man‘s survey, north of King street, Berlin, is chargeable against the said lots, or either of them for the reason . among others that the proâ€" perty in question from its situation cannot be and is not benefited by such work or improvement. From _ H. Aletter, Secretary . jof Board of Health, enclosing the folâ€" lowing resolution: _ e Moved by Mr. McKay, seconded by Mr. Rathman, that the petition re hog limits im the South Ward be presented to the Council, and exâ€" tension recommended. From Harry G. Strickland, clecâ€" trical expert, stating that he had been engaged to valuate the gas and electric plant at Guelph, and asking what action is being taken in Berâ€" lin. From Philip Ringle, Sccretary . of the Separate School Board, stating that the Board had decided to . acâ€" cept the same rate of tares as the Public Schools, providing they will not except less than 5 mills. Anyâ€" thing more will be satisfactory. It seems exceedingly difficult to interfere with the right of litigants against a corporation where damâ€" ages are complained of. Of course I assume that you have in good faith emdeavored to prevent the evil effects of the disposal of your sewâ€" age and while your good intentions would be considered by the court in modification of any damages against you, for the Government to step in and say that those who belicve they have a good claim against you should not be heard or should . be ruled out of court, would be very high ground to take and contrery to the precedents and practice of Parâ€" liament. We hope to be of soi c serâ€" vice to you in preventing the recurâ€" rence of grounds for damages and we will as soon as the Housc rises, set a qualified chemist to work to see if the difficulties which so _ far have rendered ineffective your » good intentions, may not be overcome.

Council teok no action reâ€" garding the petition of the temperance people to have the number of licenses reducâ€" ed, and the better enforceâ€" ment of the liguor law. The Board of Works will investigate certain charges of incompetency made against Road Master A. Hertel.

Bulfalo, April 1.â€"Seven Canadian mechanics were stopped by Customs officials at Black Rock last night. From letters, which were found. in their . possession, it was apparent that they had come here to take jobs for which they bhad been previously engaged, and they were told that they were violating the provisions of the Alien Labor Law. They . were sent back to Canada.

A sucâ€" cessful fruit grower once stated that whenever he found his neighbors disâ€" carding a crop he invariably selected it for himself, as he expected a scarâ€" city of the crop in market by reason of less land being devoted to it. GÂ¥ass lands deserve as much attenâ€" tion in spring as any other portion of the farm. . Grass is really the mainspring of farming, for whenever there is a good stand of grass there will be an excellent prospect for hay, pasturage and soil improvement. Fertiizer should be applied before grass starts, and the spring Tains will carry it down to the roots and give the crop an early start, which will greatly assist _ in _ enduring drought in the summer. No pasturâ€" age or grass plot should be expected to give crops without manure or ferâ€" tilizer. Wood ashes make an excelâ€" lent fertilizer for grass, and a light application of nitrate of soda . will give good results. H cattle are given the run of a grass plot when the grass is young they will do more harm to the grass by trampling than can result from any other cause. Grass exhausts the soil the same way as any other crop, and the land must be supplied with the plant foods removed. If there are bare places in the pasture use the harrow over them and sow mixed varieties of grass seed. Which is the desire of one and all.
