O'Douchue gratefully, He was before it for many long years, an intelligent, active, aggressive leader, and never wearied in the advocacy of reforms which he believed to be for the ad- vantage of his fellow-men. He was occasionally misunderstood, misrepresented, maligned, but he was true to his ideals, and won many over to his way of thinking. He did not plish all he had in view--who haw done this ?~but as a member of the legislature, secretary of the On- tario labour bureau, and wage officer for the dominjon, he 'had many op- portunities for useful service, O'Donchue, (like John Mitchell, the mining leader), lost some friends and Supporters - sometimes because he could not see eye to eye with them. Mitchell just reports that thousands Ren | 6f miners have left , the union. Why ? It is not stated, hut! the secret is por- haps that he has not'heen violent en- ough to suit some indisereet and however, when demands fail. The lesson of O'Donohue's life is ines that intelligence; reason und enorgy combined command attention and re- Speet. His death, says Mr. Mackemio King, his chief, was caused Ly over- devotion to duty. It is somothing in public service which excites both tite regard and admiration of the people. The Clothing Tax. A friend has shown The Weekly Sun, of Toronto, a lot of samples of cloth done up in packages, received from a firm of old country tailors, fn each package there is printed, in dollars and cents, the cost of an owroont, ®t, or part of a suit, made to order. There were sent with the samples full directions for seli- measurenwnt, so that the receiver could send his measure, pccompanied d 27 with the price, and have the goods shipped to his address in Cynada. "The prices at which these made-to- order suits are offered, free on board 'n Fnglend, vary from $1.76 to early £10.50," sqys the Sim. "The cheapest of the cloth gives promise of excellent. service, and some really choice sam- les gro offered at $6.72 for the suit. A complete outfit could be selected down here, with freight and thirty per cent. duty paid, would not: cost more that 5 ready-made suit of equal s | unality purchased in this country, If symples, such a8 are in possession of The Sum, could be distributed to every farmhouse in Ontario, farmers would reglize even more clearly than théy do now just how much the cus toths tax en clothing, imposed by the dominion government, costs them." The farmwrs of Canada are not pg- trons of the sweat shop. we hope; at legst they do not revel in the fact that the oxigencies of trade compel . | fome pecple to work fofif o less than "living wage." The average man, in "Jeity or country, wants to buy a8 cheaply as he can. He realizes that , | the prices of the things he must buy are going up, anc he has to hus. band his resources in every jay he can. ? But he does not want to grind any man or woman, amd it would depress him, if he saw the wretchednoss and . misery of those who depend on the clothing trade of London for sabeis- tance. Fngland's business is said to be wory good, The report' does not warrant the manufgeturers in mak- 'nz a slaughter market of Canada. The Loss In Putpwood. ' Industrial Canada strongly advo- cates the imposition of an export duty on pulpwood, one that will have the effect of keeping the wood in Can- ada, and of converting it into paper. It took the experience of years to Convert , Ontario from 0 id rt pine to be shipped out. of it and made into lumber in Michigan and other states. A stiff export duty had | the effect of causing the pine to be sawn into lumber in Canada, the op eration involving a large investment of capital and an annval expenditure of enormous sums in wages and ex- penses. Industrial Canada estimates: a | similar effect 'would Tollow the {sition of an export duty in pulpwood. Now, cach cord of wood out from private limits and shipped abroad, repeesénts a value, in freight and 1 from the samples offered, which, laid | r "number of men, ad- ditional work for the railroads, in- creased enarkets, of would come. It is to be hoped the Dominion gov- ernment will at this session of parlia- ment take steps to vreserve for Cana- da this great forest wealth." . The case does not admit of much argument. If the export duty on pine timber was a good thing and justifi- able the export duty on pulpwood is defensible. "Canda for the C 'ana- diane," implies a care for: local inter ests, which is hot. complete, and can not be made complete, under present circumstances. Editorial Notes.

There is a moral in this case which will not be forgotten.

Now this is really com- forting ! The Manitoba legislature is going to see what it can do to make the railway serve the farmers in getting their grain to market.

Two Marriages This Week--Several Meetings, Newburgh, Jan. 17.--The village council held its inaugural meeting on lay. Owing to the slim attend- ance, the annual meeting, of the pub- lic library was postponed until next Wednesday evening. On Wednesday evening J. Service Yeomans, one of Newburgh's popular young men, was united in marriage to Miss Brown, of Deseronto. Mr. and Mrs. Yeomans left for - a honeymoon trip to New York city, and on their return will reside on Mr. Yeomans' farm here. Simond Shane, Desmond, spent a few days this week at G. F. Hill's. The congregation of St. John's church were much disappointed on Sunday, when it was learned that Rev. ¥. 1. Woodcock, Brockville, could not he with them. A very interesting literary meeting was held by the Epworth League on Monday evening. 1D. A. Nesbitt, B.A., will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist «church, on Sunday evening next. Rev. J. H. Chant secured four firsts and P. D. Shorey two firsts at the poultry show at Napanee, last week. Both had fowls which took the V. H. C. ticket. which is equivalent to third prize of former years. The annual meeting of the Napanee Water company, was held in Finkle's hail on Monday. Messrs. BE. W. Benja- min and B. 8. O'Loughlin, Yarker, and W. T. Gibbard and R. B. Dafoe, Napanee, wero in the village attend: ing the meeting. Another habpv event was solemnized at the Roman Catholic church, Centre ville, on Wednesday morning, when Miss Stella Finn, of this village was united in marriage to Mr. Guina, of Saskatoon. Mr. and Mrs. Guina left in the afternoon on their honeymoon trip. La grippe is prevalent in the village and hardly a home has not re- ceived a visit from this disease.

Mahood Showed the Difference to The British Whig Reporter. A reporter of the British Whig was talking with George W. Mahood, lately, discussing a very interesting subject, hen Mr. Mahood said : "See here, I'll show you mow just what I wean," He went out and soon returned with a bit of board and two bottles. Rest- ing one end of the board on the coun- ter, he supported the other end with his fingers, and poured on the board from one of the bottles a drop of thick, oily substance, which slowly oozedk down the slope. Then Mr. Ma- bood took the other bottle and pour cd out just a drop of a clear, detici. ous, dark red liguid. This drop shot down the incline in the twinkling of an Te: "This first bottle," said Mr. Ma- hood, "is the old-fashioned cod liver oil, er emulsion, as it is called. The second hottle contains Vinol. Sce how slowly the emulsion creeps along the board. Tt is thick, siuggish, unwhole- some. But the Vinol dashes tn the bottom at once. These two substances act like this in the human body--the cod liver oil is so thick and clogging that it merely upsets digestion, and its medicinal value is lost, while Vin- ol goes at once to the seat of trouble ond corvects the difficulty by Creating an apretite and Wilding up the strength and general health. "*Vinol. you know. is a tod liver Preparation. and, while it © contains all the medicinal elements which have made cod liver oll famous, it con tains not a drop of oil, and is delic- ons to the taste. We cannot guarantee old-Iashioned cod liver oil or emulsion but Vinol is guaranteed to the limit, and if it fails to give satistaction it foste nothing. We stand the loss. But bank [it won't fail. Try it on our cuarantes ond see." George W. Mahood, drug- majority ? It is not needed hy the ad- a vital duty to perform, is further weakened by the loss of a seat. There choice of their convention.
