W rtte tor whole it pait the writer suggests that we get "a few more letters from the great wheat tieldi uf the Northwest. Su many of our old school mates are up there, and we want to hear how they are prospering." This ought to be easy, and it is "up to" the schoolnmtes to let us hear fiom them during these \i>nn winter eveoings, while the blizzards rage and the thermo'iietei goes to sleep. Speaking on loc«l optio.i matters, the writer says : "In the United States a niajoriiy vute curries local option, but I believe it recjuires a three-Bl'ths vote in Canada. But doesn't it re<|uire a three- Ijfths vote to repeal it / I< «eein» to n>i?, if it does, that that is a mighty good law. Over here a majority repeals it, and the consequence Is that there is a switching back and forth every year or so. But when a law is passed with a three-fifths majority, although a hard.ship, probably, to get it, it will likely stay put if it is a good law. lime leriii.'..

We regret however, that neither of the ptdilical pariius has to-day a policy that measures up lo the will of the ptoplti and the .standard of this ileclaralion,'' And there the battle rests now. It is up to Ihu people to send representatives to [larliiiiiienl who are avowed temper- ance men and men who will give Ihein what they want. Otherwise they need liHik for little further help from eithui side of politics. And neither should they. If the clectoralo have not the courage of their convictions little sym- pathy can be extended lo them. CHICAGO OPINION The Advance had a kindly ciilical anil appreciative loiter from a '.'hicago sub- scriber Ihe other day, just the kind a properly balanced editor likes lu receive. Criticism and suggestions are always welcome. It may nut be practical or possible to follow all suggestions, but many times some hint is dropped that is of benelit. We never take criticisms of this naturo amiss. Among other things Mr. Lucas did not have his Italian harpers present at his meeting after nomination in tlic town hall on Mon- day. Perhaps he did not believe there were any savage breasts in Flesherton to soothe. o o The leap of guilty by the Me- Naiuara brothers of having dynamited the Los Angc'e? Times building has caused » shudder of horror too great for expression to pass over this con- tinent. The cause of labor cannot help but suffer as a consequence of this. explosion. Only men of the highest honor and integrity, those who would not stoop to crime, should be allowed as leaders in the labor fold, and the fact that these murder- ers should have been given such responsible positions will cast a shadow of doubt and su.^picion over all labor bodies for a long time to come and alienate much sympathy, It would be pleasant to know tliat the men who were shot down in the Homestead riots wore of the Mc» Namura cla.ss. We are now entitled to the benefu of the doubt as to their innocence ol criminal intent. A Classy Entertainment The entertainment given under the auspices of the Agricultuial Society on Thur.sday eviMiing last was fairly well attended and was a most uiiii|Ue and enjoyal le all'iir. The two principal eiiler- taiiierii, Messrs. ,1. H. Wildfong and J. \V. Charles of 'loron(o, call them- selves anialures; but they are artists all the .same, and we think Mr. Wildb lu;, especially, has missed his calling. How- ever, mine men have several callings and uie successful in all. This is ilie case with Mr. Wildfong. He is a commercial tiavuller one of the most successful and po[iulai on I ho roadâ€" and he also would shine in melodrama or biirleM|iie. .Mr. Cliailu.s is also a very popular commercial man and has a veiy pleasing baritone voice, and rendered some of the old favorites in a niiinnor that did him credit. His first niiinber was"() Canada," followed by "Killarney, ' and others. U"( also recited Service's "Cremation of Sam Mageu." The main piece of the evening was Mr. Wihlfong's "Reveries of n Bachelor," in which ten young ladies assisted. These represented ten of bis former "llaines," and as each one was referreil to in his reveries, Ihe maid- en ill i|Ueslion, stepped into a frame before reflected light, and the effect was very pretty. The reveries were suiiposed to lake place the night before his wid ding, and at the end the bride appeared and niateriaii/.ed before the audience in the peraon of Miss Mary Wilson, who was charmingly arrayed for the oc- ca.sioii. This monologue was uniipie h.-re, and very plea.sing to the audience. In pantomime Mr. WilJfong is e\cruci- atiiigly funny, and his picture of a baehel'ir sewing on a button made the audience lauuli uproariously, while iiis Day in a I'olice Court, cau.sed much lau>;liter. His Walking Circumspectly was also much enjoyed. Mis-ses Maud Richardson aud Mabel Boyd irave a duet. Miss Rela Buskin and Mrs. R. H, Wright each n piano solo, .-md Miss Boyd played sofily appropriate pieces to accompany the pictures in the glass, representing the summer girl, the horsey girl, the little widow, etc. The services of Mr. J. II. Wildf.mg and Mr. .1. W. Charles were gi\en free for Ihe benefit «f the society and a hearty vole of thaiik-t was tendered ct the end of the programme. They will receive a larger reception if they shituld favor us aguin. President Ueo. Mitchell occupied the chair. morning.
