PREFTICE: Currvnle. in the Village 0 iven April 151:, 1896 ISAAC CROSBY D BLOUGH The time is drawing near when you will be given an opportunity of saying with your Vote whether or not we are to be gnveined for another five years by the combination you see Sitting on the treasury benches at Ottawa enjoying the spoils of office and laughing at your credulity. Everything points to as weep- ing victory for the Liberal party, but that should not cause you to stop work- ing one moment until the polls are closed. A very few votes might tnrr. the scale the other way. In the elections of 1891 there were 33 Conservatives elected with majorities ranging from 1 to 77; 21 ConserVatives elected vi h majolitics ranging from 101 to 200; 22 Liberals elected with majorities ranging from 1 to 98. and 18 Liberals elected with major- ities ranging from 101 to 198. Keep up the fight and you will surely win. After Working for eighteen years to burst the combination ot corruptionists you would feel like hanging yourself if the govern- ment’s majority turned on the electors of your country and that when the ballots were counted it was found you had elect- ed the Conservative candidate by a ma~ joiity of one or two. If there ever was a time in the history of Canada when every Liberal vote should be recorded it is now. Not only the straight Liberal vote but every Vote that says, down with dishonest goveru‘ ment. ._..-_.._.._.a~.« JOINING HANDS. 1 now that the Grauci Secretary of the Patron order charges that the Patrons are in collusion with the Liberal parny to defeat the government. Certainly they are or should bé. Would Mr. Welch have it. the other way .9 Are we nut all walking to the one and? Are we not both working to put down extravagance and corruption, and to secure a. minimum rate of taxation? That, at least, I have of always understood the Patron platform to be. I know it is the Liberal ylationn. The fact is that when a candidate set up by the government can best be defeated by a. Patron the field is left to him, and where it unmistakably appears that n. Liberal can only defeat the government’s candidate every effort has been made to induce the Patron candidate to stand to one side. We learned a. lesson in the last election in North Ontario, and we should profit by it. 1 can understand. of course, where a. Conservative candidate is running under the guise of s. Patron that he should denounce Oppoleiou from the Liberal party. But it. must strike every reasoning elector that. a Patron having the principles of his order at heart cannrt be a supporter of the pres- ent government. If the defeat of the government was left to such men they would have a perpetual lease of power. But it is not alone the Patrons who might now be charged with cullusinn wiih the Liberal party. D’Alton McCarthy is not a Liberal yet he is working with us in this fight trying to break up the Tupper-Huggart combination. So is Clarke Wallace and no one will accuse him of being a. Liberal. Both McCurlhy and Clarke Wallace have been long enough associated with corruptionists to know something of their methods, and you may rest assured that they have not gone into the light without. having good grounds for opposing them and breaking, up the den. It is one of the strongest combinations that over joined fumes to overthrow a. government. in Uundda and it will suc- ceed. This time we see Liberals.PutronS, McCurtliyites and \Vellaceites all work- ing to the one and, to rid the country of the gang who have been holding high carnival at Ottawa for the past 18561115. GET THEM OUT. I have talked to you beforé of their buodling and extravagance; I have point- ed out the political scandals which, as a. result of their administration, have dis- graced the country, and I em sure that at this late day there is no necessity of trying further to impress these facts up- on you. I now ask you Conservative readers why vou are still showing your allegiance to these men who by their conduct have disgraced you and who by their dishonest; chl corrupt ways have imposed the maximum of taxation upon you. 1 have heard men say: “ A Gunâ€" servative I was born; a. conservative I will die.” Well, that sounds very poet- ical. There is u vein of sentiment in it that sounds pretty to hear and looks pretty to read when we see it in print. It shows how far an element of our pop- ulation is wedded to traditions and how strong is their faith in the theory that. the king can do no wrong But to those who are thus imbued with old associations 1 would sz 11 misplace ient evide {y this as: cubaud~0 ed by the menb. 1!

There is suflic fore the country to justi see how scores of :rvantsure uflect- maze of govern- very clear ludi- cation of how the result of the coming elections is regarded in that quarter, which is by no means a safe political bar- oumter. Capt. Benoit, John Francis Walters, Sydney Smith, Hayter Reed, D. C. Scott, John R. Hall, Breadner, ‘ Baldersun and a score of others who‘ sail in the same boat, are to be pitied. I only mention this fact as one of the shadows cast by coming events. At the same time I may mention the desire of Dr. Montague, Minister of Agriculture, to get out. He knows he will be beaten in Haldimand, and not nnly that, he knows the government will be beaten, and if he can now change places with Kirkpatrick he will get a sure thing on the Lieut.-Governorship of Ontario, wurth $10,000 a. year, for the next five years. I do not know of anything that more clearly points to the defeat of the government than the desire of Montague to desert the sinking ship and settle him- self in a‘good job for five years to come. With the opening of Spring the whole face of Nature undergoes a, wonderful, as well as beautiful, transformation. The beauties of the change are Wrought by the gradually increasing heal: from the sun, which causes all forms of vegetation to spring forth; and then as the tiny leaf unfulds itself, we see it followed by something that attracts and absorbs our attention more quickly. .i i. n All people seem pleased to see the first flowers open in the Spring, but why pass them by so heedlessly as the season adv vances? Perhaps it is because they are so numerous, or that they are only weeds. Let us see what weeds are. In Mexico and Northern South America whole sections of the country are covered with the Fuchsia, one of our common house plants, and in South Africa the Geranium LL- fr," grows as freely. In those countries the Fuchsia and Geranium are considered mlaerable and worthless weeds; here we take pride m cultivating them. Hence weed is nothing more than an ordinary plants growing where it is not wanted, or a plant in the wrong place. .1 I.~,,,.,J ‘ill‘ggvlgéelifilleé'sr bluinéally all cultivated plant? no 9119 will dispute, and why ad- mire less that which is often much more beautiful. viz., the wild flowers of the field or forest. There are several features of attraction in flowers; the gaudy or delicate colors may attract some, while the odor will be the means to attract others’ attention. Important character istics as these may form, still the regu- larity of the same part in the same class of plants, or perhaps the oddity of one part of a firmer will enable us to dis- tinguish it from all others. Take several flowers of the wilcl mustard, each has an outer green covering consisting of four sepals; then the next whorl of leaves in each flower consists of four yellow petals, as a. still further protection to those vital organs that be nearer the centre. Next we find six slender stalks terminating in expanded sacs each filled with a p )wder known as pollen, and which is always es« sontial before the plant \Vlll Dear a seed; how peculiar that each of these flowers produces always, four long stamens and two short ones which are always on op- posite sides. At the centre there is an apparently solid body, but upon examin- ation we find it consists of two cells with seeds attached along the partition. If the Shepherd’s Purse or Water Cross be examined, similar parts will be tound, and from the resemblance of their parts, they form a family of plants known as the Cruciferae, So by careful observation the snnilarity of other flowers and plants may be observed and thus classified into Contributions from the Schools. arm-ther family Mr. R.
