Mac- Neill as standard bearer for of this district in the Damin- ion house, the Conservative convention could not have chosen more wisely. The situation is such as tc demand.a candidate who will appeal fo the people as a clean PI ive of the people’s interests unhampered by pe litical cliques,angd with no other obli- gation than that of furthering, to the utmost, the welfare. of this great “section.

According to Mr. Rennie, Cana- adian' commercial agent at Buenos Ayres, itis entirely probable that the prevalence of disease among the cattle of the Argentine plains may greatly increase the export trade in Canada cattle to Europe. Both . residence and business houses, » especially the: former, are recpective of party inclination, know. it. Mr. MacNeill is a man whose personal and professional lite has won the esteem of the public and one who will command the support, not’ only of his own party, but a large portion of the opposing tac- tion.

Two of these were not disposed of; nine of the accused were acquitted, three were declared insane, eleven, or nearly one in two, were convicted and hanged. Ac- cording to the Chicago Tribune, in 1899, there were 7840 persons charged with murder in the United States, only 109 of whom were exe- cuted, or one in 27. These figures are startling and suggestive. SEAL Rubber NOTARY AND MANUFACTURED ON SHORT NOTICE ‘Made to Order and mounted on the latest improved Air Cushion Mounts, also Daters, Ink and Ink Pads. H.
