shallow wells have been going with
out perceptable check; the gas town
because they never started well
that didn't strike gas; the gas town
because strata under strata of gas is
here and each strata has more gas
and a heavier pressure than the one

the citizens kept in their control, the
towns control, this wonderful flow.

The Salem band of 26 pieces furnished
the music and made a great hit WITH

live in the political annals of this

as they were with enthusiasm, the
conviction was forced in upon him
that Socialism will play a great part

,he wortd: Il nc general hcalth OF the SUBJECTS uscd IN the expert

danger to health"
There are people that will mock at this discovery and say it
10 no discovery at all; that civilized men have been eating cheese
since ever civilization began; that hrbarians have eaten it in Asia
for three thousand years: that it has been a foodsuf when made
of goats milk and mares milk and asses milk and reindeer milk, as
well as cows milk; that no further experiment. were needed to prove
its whoesomeness.
81, Such persons mistake the issue. When Abraham Of old ate
cheese and curds on the plains of Mesopotamia he did it merely to
satisfy an appetite, not to make an experiment and add to the sum
of science.
That is where the Hon. Uncle James Wilson, Secretary Of Agri-
culture, puts Abraham in the shade and makes a record.

tornlal deelar4ton Of loyalty to the Empire, while the Manitoba Legis-
lature by a vote of &c to IL condemned it altogether.
In the natural order OF things the people Of Manitoba will profit
largely by reciprocity. A larger and richer market will be opened
for their farm produce and a big stimulous given to the settlement
Of their vast domain. SO, too, will the French of Quebec profit by
a freer trade with New York and New England.
The strength of opposition in these two cases shows that the
so-caNed material view of history is not wholly correct. Men do not
net always from self-intcrest. Sentiment has a good deal to do with
politics. Annexation may be but a DOGGY, but evidently a good many
Canadians are not willing to take chances.

These are right words uttered at the right moment. They set
forth the supreme issue of the hour for the Democratic Legislators
at Albany. 1t is an issue that can neither be evaded nor ignored.
The line of division between true Democracy that stands for the
people and sham Democracy that takes orders from the Boss is
sharply drawn. 1t is useless to talk Of loyalty to O caucus dominated
