Lord Salisbury made E very effective speech
at Cambridge on Wednesday,, to a meeung Of
more thaa three thousand Unioulsts. He did

ton that IN tie eve IF the Eccles election,
tho Home-lule cause was virtually won.
Neither aid LIE agree in the least with the
triumphant boast that the split in the Par

and Anti-Isrnellites alike, had ~extingpished
The danger e Hcne-rule. lie believed that
the chances OF Home-rule are due to two very
clever men. MIR. Parnell and lr. Gladstone.
and that so long Us these two clever men gt
on struggling for it, the reason for fearing
its possible triumph will not be over. Still,
the Unionists had gtined much by the prac.
teal evidence that Parnellites and Anti
Parnellites alike compete with each other
in repudiating the ida Of oonciliating Eng
land, and also by the practical evidence that
the Irish priests are SO powerful that they
can at very short notice throw over their
most popular loader and put another in his
place. This will really alarm every s~agacious
man for the rights and liberty Of Irish Pro.

But the greatest step OF all will be the large
extension Of peasant properties, which must
certainly give a great impulse both to Irish
industry and to Irish emigration. So long as
emigration is regarded as a remedy proposed
by TIE landlords. it is unpopular. But when
the Irish peasantry once realise that their
own interests will require the emigration Of
several Of their children TO prevent the sub
division Of their own property, emigration

example, for the statesman who governs Ireland
is the success OF peasant properties in France
In creating q stable system and enormously in.

Irish Land Measure, therefore, is the true and
necessary supplement of that restoration Of law

New Books,

The book and stationery department at
Saur & Balsley's drug and book house is
now being filed up with an elegant line of
books from the best and most popular
authors of the day, also complete line of
blank books and stationery of every de-
scription. As usual this house will make a
speciality of the book and stationery trade
during the fall and winter, and will be pre-
pared to supply their customers with nearly
everything and anything in this line at the
very lowest prices ruling any where. The
prices on pocket books, photograph and
autograph albums are very much lower than

beautiful. When in town don't forget to
look over their line of fine toilet soaps, per-
fumery, cosmetics, etc., they have the
finest and the best, as well as the most pop
ular and fashionable. They have full line
of pocket, family and tt ttacher's bibles in
many different styles of binding and sizes

A New Dance,

Devotees of dancing will be glad of the
new waltz the "Jubilee." 1t is certain tC
win a triumph-just as certain rs society
dons her dancing shoes. AS matter of fact
beginners want to waltz the first thing. and
inability to reverse is apt to discourage
them. Now the ardent swain, the college
fellow, the apoplectic dandy in his second
childhood, and fair, fat and frisky widow
who gets dizzy when she tries to 60 around
backward will commence with the Jubilee y
master it in two lessons, and get fine
opinion of themselves all through bit oil
trickery on the part of the composer.
There is no reversing, but great deal OF
revolving to the right, The partners take
waltz position and dance two dips" to the
size, separating, advance one step, then
kick with the inside foot and again with the
outside; JOIN hands, swing in waltz position
and take four waltz steps.
This mischievous, captiva ting dance will
in all probability score double success, for
some rogue will be certain to write song
accompaniment.

The biggest and foulest imposition ever
practiced on a people is to take the money
out of the pockets of 10000 without giving
them value received, and put it into the
pocket of one mau out of the 10000. This is
what every monopoly does. 1t robs the many
to enrich the few. 1t makes the people pay
more than the worth of an article, in order to
enrich those who furnish it. The consumer
regularly pays the increase, which goes, not
into the government treasury, but into the
pockets of the ''home" millionaire who
reaps the profit. This imposition when
called protection" is legalzed system of
obtainiLg other peoples money on false pre-

There ia an old theory that a man is not to
he trusted who will not look one straight in
the eye. Yet this power of habit depends far
more upon the amount of self esteem or
natural courage one possesses than upon
guilt or innocence. A rascal may be either
shame faced or brazen. One of the latter
could look the recording angel in the face
without the culver of an eyelash while com
mitting the most atrocious crime. Then
again we have known people to realize their
possession of i'll shaped mugs who dislike to
place it before a neighbor in its full glare
and for this reason don't stare in your face:
or you may possess the crippled face and
your neighbor refused to look thereon on
account of desre to feel well Taking it all
in all because person does not stare you
out of countenance, he is not dishonest
neither ia he a villain.

Every once in five or six years man goes
away from home and makes fortune. His
good luck is heralded all over the country,
and others, believing they can do as we'll,
leave home to try it. The world never hears
of the hundred of men who fail. Those who
had to send home for money to get back
never tell of it. Fortunes are to be made al
home as elsewhere. If you are one of the
foolish ones who waste their dollars while
dreaming of the fortunes to be made il
some other town, quit it.
