NOTICE.
Parties hitherto getting the NEW ERA
at the Clinton Post Office will oblige, after
this week, by calling at the office of pub-
lication
for them, as, by the new arrange-
ent, such papers require to be stamped.
t is quite probable a change in -this re-
pect will be made, as -the" department is
oreliberal. to distant subscribers than to
ose in the vicinity, who only require the

also its carriage to an indefinite distance.
There is, .also, a misunderstanding ,as to
nvhat .the act really does mean in this mat
iter, ae _eo-me places, we -underatand;.-are`
still delivering papers as formerly. Our
office will be open until 7 o'clock every.,

REFORM PROSPECTS FOR THE
FUTURE. '
;Discuaeinsthe position of affairs in .the
Dominion,' as indicated by the late elec-
tion, a cotemporary argues,thus and comes
n
"to the following conclusion
" Considering that five years is but a
shortP eriod in the life of a:nation, neither
the Liberal party nor its leader, Hon. _Mr.
Flake, will.despair of obtaining the oppor-
tunity to govern Canada in accordance
with';sound economical principles 'and the
dictates of an enlightened patriotism. If
we couldonly obtain office' by running off
after false gods, as the Tories have done,
let us stay' out ; if for the sake of office we
must labor for the disruption of the. Em•
pire, as the Independents advise, let us do
without office, but if the people of Canada
are amenable to reason and common sense"
the time is not far distant when the Libe-
rals shall obtain the authorization of the
popular vote totake 'control ,'of public af-
fairs, and keep it without any such=tricka
and scheming as Sir John Mar'donald de-
pends upon for his positions," .
While the conclusions of- the above are
perfectly sound, and the results indicated
_are_toss_ hopedJereitsttaa_notefollsw.thal_
these results will be arrived at, for the
:
simple reason that 'a good any arenot:
open to conviction, or in other words. "are
not amenable to reason."•. It: i8, unfortu-
nately, a phase of' human character, that'
man prefers wrong to right, as Barnum
says, "Like to be humbugged,"—it seems
oisier for him to do •wrong " thanto do
right, and becomes : more natural as the
propensity-to—do wrong -is' yielded to.
_ _Very fewLindeed; would dispute the`state-
ment that in the moral economy_there ie
a right and wrong side to everything, and•.
it is equally true, notwith`s coding .its fr'e
•- "quent denial, -that in political economy,.
the same moral principle holds good. If
people would only reason out for them-
selves the various public ;issues that are
from.:...time-to _time_btau hi -before th em
instead of believing the, assertions of any
or every one on 'a particular point, the
state of affairs in Canada would be much
different to what they are, and- until they
do that, political dans gogues will ;hood -
them and make use`: of their influence to
retain themselves in-- power, while -'at; -the...
same time they will-smileat the credulity
of their servile supporters. What ought
to -be is ono thinwhat is,: quite 'another.

" What will the newspapers do now the
elections bre over ?,they will have nothing
to write about," was the remark made to
us by a friend the ';other day. The state-
ment is'a,.natural one, in the sense that
Some people do not stop to think,but the
latter part of the expression is incorrect,
in fact, newspapers have just as many sub-
jests to. Write aboutnow as ever, and we
believe that on some points there is more
need of discussion now than ever, but, un-
fortuately, too many people cannot separ-
ate some cf the questions of public inte-
rest s from th�r party prejudices, and'the
ret P Y P ] +:
discussions, therefore, are not as favorably
received as their merits deuiand.
Many apparently suppose that because,
,people, eo le b action express a decided opinion
one way or another in reference to any
measure, that their action settles forever
the question of that being right, but such
is not the case, and it is only by , constant
discussion that people get their eyes open-
ed to See what is, really right and wrong.

CELEgRIITION
IN CLINTON
Fine Weather, Large
Crowd, Good Time.
The anniversary of the Battle of the
Boyne, was celebrated in this town yester-
day (Wednesday) by an unusually large
gathering both of people and lodges.—
Early in the morning crowds flocked into
the town by all the highways, and every
train brought its contingent of passengers,
until there was an enormous number of
people: in town. Thestores wore their
most attractive appearance, flags flying
from all quarters, evergreen' bushes and
bunting decorating the premises.
Arches of evergreens had been erected
the night previous in different parts of the
town -one across Albert street in front of
Swarts' • hotel another across' Huron street
in front of Kennedy's hotel, also one in
-front'-of the .-Commercial,-one-in---front-of-
the'Orange Lodge on Albert stieet, and
another in froii of Messrs. Moore's store
and eating room. Refreshment booths,
were erected in numerous places, in fact
some one -remarked that there was a booth
or, tent for every person " present, .but all
seemed to do a rushing business.
As the different lodges arrived in town
)the familier tones of the fife and drum
lent their aid in increasing the general
hum, and until about 12 o'clock the noise
was almost deafening,
Short] after one o'clock the lodes as -
bled on the Market Square•, and then
took their pplace in the line of; procession
as given below:= -

r discussing
our cotem orariea are u
Some of o p g ,
the adviseblity of extending , to ''women`
the right to vote, in the Dominion, and
on this subject we take the %olloiving from
b
the Belleville -Daily Ontario :=1
" We have sufficient confidence in the
intelligence. and patriotism of the women.
of Canada. to trust them -with' the exercise'
of the franchise now, without waiting to;.
be "educated in -the elementsi'of political
ethics." A good many of our wives -and
daughters may not pretend to take Made,
interest in the `burning questions', that
so much agitate the minds of their hus-
bands and brothers, but that is no reason.
why they shouldbe considered ignorant of
the "merits or demerits of such questions.
_ All women of sufficient age and intellect'
are qualifier to vote, without graduating.
at a female college or peeing as a blue
stocking."
The probability is that it will be:some.
time before the franchise is !extended to
-women in Canada, not because they are,
unacquainted with politicalt affairs, for
many Of ---them know -a-souch tlrereon-ae-
some men, but because public sentiment
is opposed to the innovation, which may,
be just or otherwise, still it exists, and
until this is removed, and the women also
.. ,show_ that they desire the privilege, -it: is
not likely to be granted. • In the territory
of Wyoming women have had the privi-
lege of voting for about seven years, and
one of the prominent •men there" affirms
thattheofs the presence of women. atp 1
has had a decidedly noticeable beneficial
effect on election contests,' and+that the
, people of that territory have no desire .to
deprive the females of this privilege. This
maybe; and-doubtlea is quit° true, but it
seems singular that Wyoming is the only
territory sr
tem the system has been Adopt-
ed, and (so -far as we: know)! in no State.-
Porhaps the women of Wyoming are of. a'
different spirit to the women of�anj where

visible. Crowds were seen wending their

A highly romantic story is given as the
key to the Egyptian trouble.. Earlyin
life, it is said, the warlike Arabi Pasha
felt the promptings of Cupid rattier than
-of Mars, and while under the influence of
:the getle; god ;loved and woedl one: of
Egypt's, dark -eyed daughters. Ismail Pa-
sha, the ex -Khedive, however, also"felt.
the smart of Cupid's.edart,-to.-drop" into'
`Wegglike poetry: and being the most
powerful, and not in the least scrupulous;,
he had her carried off to his harem. Ara-
bi was made a. Bey, but this did not pla-
cate him, and he vowed eternal vengeance..
against Ismail` and all his tribe. This he
.thinks he is getting.

THE ',HIGH'. SCHOOL .
Without entering into 'any criticism'. of
the merits of the discussion now being
on with respect'to the man's em nt
carried g. e
of the Clinton High School, the take the
opportunity of placing before our readers
the opinion of Mr Buchan, High School
Inspector, of Mr. Turnbull's qualifications
as a Scholar and in 1876,which is
iis'follows; -"-Heis •an:acuteteacher and.
first-rate scholar." Again, in 1880, he

markably successful teacher.r

states, ."You are `quite 'at inserter! refer

These are the opinions of one in a posi-
tidit not only able to judge, and who has
every opportunity of knowing thoroughly
what he is talking about, but is entirely
