In the confusion of conflicting parties and over zealous sects and keen and selfish competion there still exists a strong desire to have for this fair province a name as fair and a moral character as stainless as the sunbeams that are reflecting upon the spotless charges that have been made in the Legislature are humilating. The methods adopted by those making and sustaining the charges are extremely saddening. The speeches aud arguments in support of the charges cannot fail to suggest unfairness and in-Cincerity. But in the midst of the prevailing pursuit of that policy ■which seem i to be to exalt a party at whatever price, it is a great satisfaction to knowthat the utterance of G. W.Rot both nd a nude out of the House Justice in ust be, done at whatever cost. And for all coming time honest approval aud strong support will be given to the men and the party w"o detnand a thorough, fair-minded and speedy investigation of all charges made by responsible persons.

As they and Mrs. Brook were driving up William st. on their way to Mr. McCullah'shonie, their horse shied and then refused to go ahead. This occurred just at the Matting Factory bridge. One of the gentlemen alighted to see what was the trouble aud discovered a dark form that proved to be the unfortunate man. A conveyance had passed since he had been thrown out and how it had missed nim was a mystery as he lay directly in the track. A lantern was produced from a house near by, and other vehicles arriving upon the scene, Mr. Holnbeck was removed to his home. He died about two o'clock Sunday morning.--World. SPRING AILMENTS. THE BLOOD KEEPS ATTENTION AT THIS Spring is the season when your system needs tuning up. In the spring you must have new blood just as the trees must have new sap. With new blood, yon will feel sprightly, happy and healthy. Many people take purgatives in spring, bnt this is a serious mistake, as the tendency of all purgatives is to further weaken t'.ie system. The one and only way to get new blood and new strength is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They actually make new-, rich, red blood-- they are the greatest spring tonic in the world. Dr Williams' Pink Pills speedily banish all spring ailments. Miss Belle Cohoon, White Rock Mills, N. S. says:-"I have found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a splendid spring medicine. I was very much run down the least exertion exhausted me, and 1 had a constant feeling of languor and sluggishness. My appetite failed me aud my sleep at night was disturbed and restless. After I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, there was a speedy change for the better aud after taking a few boxes,I felt stronger than I had done for years." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicine, or by mail post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by writing direct to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Do not let any deal-ei persuade you to take a substitute. Substitutes never cured anyone--the genuine pills have cured hundreds of thousands in all parts of the world. MOl'NT PL IASANT.
