CLAYTON'S ' Fly T UNE, PROSPECTS.
This'tcovn has started the new year under;
the most favorable circumstances, and the
outlook for the future is decidedly encourag--
ing. Glancing .back at .:the rapid progress
tha.thas:been Riad,: during the past year or
two—a progress that has not been -spasmodic
artificial, or from, borrowed .cap.ital—clue is,
quickly led to the conclusion that should,
nothing very unusual occur,: 'Clinton' will
speedily occupy a position' that will place it
entirely beyond the reach of competing towns;
in fact, to a great ext'eht, it occupies •this.
position to day,' (Ind, as. •time advances; - is

the Province, it has become; by virtue .bf its
location, the' distributing point for the :pro-
.duets thereof, and''as the country's resources'
are being more fully developed year by year;
it is within the bounds of reason' to suppose.
.that all the increase of product x011 find, its`

the case in some places. Good houses are
very difficult to get, and although several new
ones are projected for this year, the demand
is likely to continue; 'notwithstanding the
exodus to the west.'
The 'railroads, running nearly at right
angles with each other, of course have much
to do with our progress, as they afford good
shipping facilities and make the town easy of
access from dill quarters, so .that Clinton•'. is
the best point=in-the county in which to hold

Clinton, in its location and "facilities, stir-
rounded by a splendid country, and .poasess-'
ing all the requisite elements.that'go towards
making a large and prosperous place, �nly
requires the continued mutuah co -.operation,
of all parties in order' to make it become such.
Let this co-operation be given, and Clinton:
will soon become the most important. inland
town in the .west.:'
.THE BOUNDARY 'QUESTION:

to grow -more rapidly and :thereby'enabling

'It is said, and with truth, that internal

Mr. Meredith' and his supporters,are opposed
to the interests and rights' of Ontario, .not-
_.withstandingrtltair' election' to uphold.' and
maintain her rights; they must be greater,
enemies, and more to be feared than the.
'-french of Quebec, who; are openly clamoring.
for the partial disineinlierment of. Ontario.
_The .doss of territory, and consequent decrease

EDITORIAL NOTES. -
It is taken as asign that the elections are to
be brought ou soon, that a number of well-
known' Conservatives in Toronto are engaged
in,getting fip campaign. sheets:
Mr. T. E. Hays, of lticKillop, is to carry
the Conservative banner' in"East Huron; at
the next election. . We therefor predict.; for
Mr. Gibson a larger majority than he had
last time. ,

A Conservative a few
day's since said:" there were too many papers
in the -county' by half,; and..some of them
would have to go to the wall.-." The first
part of the sentence. is quite true, and time
will :prove'.the truth of the second.
A reverend gentleman, a few day's since,
known tomany of _our readers,'sand_whose
word would be accepted by the most preju-
diced, remarked that the papers 'need not
tell him -there was no exodus, for he, knew
better; having lost over one hundred mem--
bete out of his church in the last two years,
and he was ompeI1ed in truth to taunt that
the most of them had gone. to Dakota,'
An exchange; states that one thousand
cabinet makers and carpenters are out of em-
ployment at Winnipeg. If such; is the. case
-other mechanics should' think twice before
going, as it costs money to live idle in- Win-
nipeg. Their only recourse will be to take
anything they can get to do, 'until."spring
opens,: then strike out and take up and work
Said a Clinton mechanic the other day-
"I hardly know whether it is the N.P.
or not, that causes it, but I know that things
are getting dreadfully` high. Why .nearly"
everything'I purchase I've got to pay more
for it, while my wages are no better than be-
fore. They needn't tell me it's not lo,. for I
know,it is."
Will; the mechanics of Clinton tell us how
far astray he is ?

In another column will be found the Gov
ernor's speech the opening of the Domin-'
ion Parliament,which we advise all to read;
but; as is generally -the case, there is scarcely
anything in`itthat 'was not already known,
and now of but little importance: The most
important measure ;promised is::one for'the

only wait to see whatchanges will be. made.

One of the cries upon, which the present

who evidently: did not know the reckleas.,

there would be a reduction in expenditure.
Below are theofficial figures, andpeople can
take their choice. "From' July' -31st to Dec-
ember 31st, 1877, (Mr. MacKenzie's last year,)
the expenditure was $S,247,48. From July
3lst to December,3lst, 1881, the expenditure
was $11,332,073'--a difference of $3,084,580

and public plundering ;!'

Squires had tient in his resignation in .the

By a;report'pablished e1iewhere, it will be
seen that Dr. Coleman, of Se •forth, has been
selected as the Conservative 'standard bearer
for Centre Huron, at the approaching . elec-
.tion. The doctor will no doubt make 'a,strong

candidate, and he can s eak from experience•
on the shrinkage' of values during the past..
three years, he-havingdrecently'admitted that
