Realizing this it is time for a change, The gift of Carnegic"s millions to genuine philanthropy would do "| more good, Foy Nakes A Flop. My dear Foy is being reminded by his political opponents of how incon- sistent he has been on the patronage and offico question, He issued what appeared (0 be, at the time, a very remarkable letter, It. was addressed, in July last to Harford Ashley, the division court clerk in Belleville. Some one wanted his place, and Belloville, it' scoms, has had more than its proper share of place hunters. Mr. Foy wrote Ashley that be had taken a very active part in politics "during the past fow years," that he hud once, long long age, ben a liberal candidate, and that hé: had always worked for his party. All "of which was very indefinite. Ashley had been a liberal before he entered office, and a useful one, but when he ao cepted office he went out wi politics. Any ove in Belleville, who knew the man, knew this; But the attormey-general assumed that the charges were true, that they | applied to the time he was in office, and 'asked for his resignation. The same man approves of the up pointment of Dr. Beattie Nesbitt be cause he is a politician, and as the party boss has commanded the pa- {ronage and the men who dispense it. It can be said of th doctor, "You have been acuive in politics, you have run elections as a candidate, and you have worked hard for your party, Please hand in your reignation 1 The doctor in safe while the Present id | government is in power.

So it is safe {0 say that the govern- ment of Mr. Whitney will never be troubled with the cantankerous sui ject and ho will never be worried ab- out it, for has he not, as he intim. ates; --the--wmites and "support of the temperance people ! Reforming The Fairs, The managers will observe that the government has practically sounded the death knell of small fairs. The old condition of things, which went along for: so many years without change, will soun have passed away, and, according to the representations which have been made to the govern- ment, they will not disappear a day too sven. The province has been spending a sum of $80,000 4 year in grants, pre- sumably and ostensibly for the de velopment of agriculture. The money was divided among so many electoral district associations, and so that no part or section of Ontario would be overlooked, It was provided that the twwnship societies--withoiit number or location--should be added to a limited extent by the district society. In so the law, 1 w do not ake of any one a] me places aw, as it stood, practically encouraged shows which could be swept aside and not be missed. The proposal is to have fewer fairs, to observe the presence of them only in counties rather than on electoral division lines, and to give them grants of an. equal amount. The a : Bn ii grants will be based on the amount a nation's app aus by vir Ho OF I gotually spent "in promoting pro- pulse and that exercised at the becom- gressive agriculture," or "as prizes for strictly agricultural exhibits." The result will be a reformation of the fair associations and their plans. There will be more spent in legitinmie purposes in order to win the reward, and it will make the fair a farmers' institution solely, The only modification in favour of sports is that which deals with the races. These have always been at the fall fairs but under disguise. There has been "speeding," which is allow- able, and it degenerated into races of a more or less faulty kiml. The law is to be amended so that there may be racing, and called by its proper name.

Windsor, Ont., Febriary 10th--Miss Counter's case will prove of great in- terest to every one troubled with sore throat, bronchitis or weak lungs. When asked for a statement, Miss Counter said: "About seven years | contracted a heavy cold that settled on my lungs and resisted 'all treatment. After I had tried several doctors here and specialists in Detroit, without benefit, I went to my druggist, Mr, D'Avignon, and asked him for the Lest remedy he had for cold on the lungs. He recommended Catarrhozone which cured my cold in one week, It brought back my voice, and I have ever since been free from my old trouble. . For coughs, colds, and lung trouble 1 am sure that Catarrhogone is the best remedy. It goes right to the sore spot, gives quick relief, and makes a lasting cure." Catarrhozone cures because its heal- ing vapor ix inhaled to the very places that are sore and inflamed, Every portion of the m is treated with one single breath through the jn. haler. Catarrhozone goes where cough mixtures, sprays and. ointments can't go--reaches The root of the trouble. Doctors pronounce Catarrhozone one af tho greatest discoveries of the age.

Montreal, Feb. 10.--The bursting of the boiler comnected with the heat: ing apparatus in the Stanfold block, on St. Catharine street . west, early this morning, partially wrecked the building, a large = stone ® front five #torey structure between Drummond and Mountain streets. King's hall, where balls &nd other social funrtions are held, is located in the block, and at the time of the ex: plosion a ball given by the 13th Seot- tish Dragoons was in progress. The dancers to the number of about 200 remained remarkably cool, despite the crashing of glass, and the fal ing of plaster whieh followed the explosion. As the windows were all blown out and the heating apparatus went on strike, the ball had to stop, although some went on. dancing for a short time after the crash in a spirit of bravado. Ome lady, standing near a window, was slightly mt by glass, but outside of that there were no causaltios reported. The damage to the building is con- siderable, a great deal of plaster hav- ing been dislodged. while plate glass fronts of the branch post office, the Eastern Townships bank's uptown branch, and a dry goods establish: ment having been blown out. tient AT THE GRAND.
