has given for the first time. his version Of
the recent cabinet designations. He said
that with the cabinet meeting on the
first day OF the parliament session Pre-
mier Balfour produced program which
included preferential tariffs and the taxa
ton of food. The cabinet adjourned that
ay without reaching decision in the
matter 1t met again on September Ii
and continued the same discussion. Aft
er this meeting Lord Balfour. then sec
rotary for Scotland, c. L. Richie. then
chancellor Of the exchequer ant he ali
agreed to place their resigna tons in the
hands fthe Duke of DeyonshiIe, then
lord president of the council, who would
present them with his own. II was not
until September / 6that Lord George
Hamilton learned of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's resignation and that the
Duke of Devonshire had retained his Of
flee. He declared that Premier Balfour
had treated the members OF the cabinet
other than the Duke of Deyonshire, I'M
fairly in communicating TO --.e duke the
news he withheld from the remainder Of
the members. He said also that he would
have been willing to resign at any time
on the slightest suggestion from Mr.. Bal
four, but he resented the method in
which the free trade members had been
ousted from the cabinet
With regard to the general fiscal policy
Lord George Hamilton declared himself
a free trader with limitations. He said
also that he believed thoroughly in re-
taliation which would give the country
better chance for the negotiation OF reel
procity treaties. He thought no member
of the cabinet would have resigned on
such a proposition, but that had not been
the question presented to them. The
president also expressed the conviction
that the propaganda was protection pure
and simple.
The fiscal campaign continues with I'M
abated vigor. Among the speakers last
night were Sir Henry Campbell. Banner
man and Sir Edward Gray. both Of whom
also said that protection would result In
an increase in the prices and great hard
ship TO the working classes.
Sir Edward Grey urged the formation
of an imperial council with representa-
tives from India, crown and seif-govern-
ing colonies empowered to ADVISE the
government on imperial affairs and who
would prevent the converting OF imperial

Syphilis exists in two stages. the pri-
mary chancrc and secondary eruptions.
The chancre may not attract but little at

entirely without treatment of any kind.
Yet, all such cases. sooner or later. will
be followed by secondary results. Per-

mark this stage, or. at most, few scat

surface. all of which may be overlooked
Therefore. the short duration of the
chancre or mild appearance of the erup-

struck them. Thew were verv valuable
young horses and the loss TO Mr.. Fish
paw is very heavy. The rain near
Ridgeway was very heavy. much like
cloudburst and considerable damage
was done to the crops by the heavy
dash, the wheat being knocked down
in numbers of places. A report comes
from Walkersville, which is located
about two mile east of Clearbrook that
two valuable horses which were stand
