OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY
FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1884.
ADHERENCE TO rroattAnin.
At a Reform meeting in Toronto the
other day, Hon. A, McKenzie said "it
had been repeatedly said that if the Re-
formerslad bowed a little more to public
opinion in 1878 they might be in office
to day. When the Reformers were pie.:
pared to ask the people to submit to evil
principles in order that they might retain
power, he would be unable to work with
them. Ifthe believed in the goolness
• of God and in His superintendence of the
universe, if they believed in the prepon-
derance of good over evil, they must be-
lieve that uprightness and honesty were
right for a political party as, for an indi-
vidual, wherever it might lead," This
statement was greeted with hearty cheers,
as well it might be. Tlie public men who
are willing to stand firm to principle are
exceedingly feW; asd we hope the noble
sentiment of the ex -Premier will silence
those dissatisfied oues who believe he
.should have made the conceitsions,naked
for. We most assuredly b6liitive that the
peo-plo made a grave mistake when • Mr.
Mackenzie was turned out of power, but
we would rather, ten times over, see a
man -go out on his convictions of; right
than retain his position by a compromise
with principle: The cold shades of oppo-
sition have not, nor never can, change
the honest convietions'of Mr. Mackenzie,
for the simple reason that -h� knows them
to be absolutely right, and while ma-
jorly mot have coincided With, him
he has the conscious satisfaction of deing;
right and knowing' that • time : will ulti7
mately prove the entire soundness •of his
position.
Aiii•Houtin the Jersey and:•Alderny,

be advisable for farmers in this•county, •to
turn theirattentionor labors to them, for
the good reason.' that they are . not good
beef cattle, and the raising beef is, as.. it
should Ise, the prime, object of the fanner.
It has•been thoroughly proved that 'the
Canadian grade cow, bred to the Ottritatoi
is the most profitable, as it giv('.s. faji.
supply of milk and butter, -and • the • very
best stock to fatten for the, butcher. --
Having already secured this class 'of stock '
it would be unwise, as well as. the logs of.
a good deal ef money, to attemptthe in-
troduction and raising the—above nettled
stock. The prices that were paid in New
York a few days ago, for a few fancy, ani—
mals of this breed; may tempt 130D213

OBSERVATIONS IN THE NORTHWEST
To 014 Editor of the New Era.
Mn. EniToa,—Some time ago I pro-
mised to furnish you with some Infortna-
'tion regarding the northwest, but it is
harder task than / expected, hence the
delay. There has been, a great deal said
and written about Manitoba, even by
parties who were never there, so that I
am afraid I•will not be able to throw.
touch light on the subject. My own idea
and experience is that in order to. bave a
true idea of that Test country, of its Agri-
cultural resources, of it wintere, and sum-
mers, of its rivers and innumerable lakes„
of its hills and ravines—for it is not all a
dead flat, of its advantageand drawbacks,
a man would need to go there and see for
himself; I amvery favorably impressed•
with the country. ()f course a man must
expect to put up with disadvantages. As
far as roughing it is concerned? I think
the first settlers of Ontario had it harder.
One of its drawbacks at presentconsiats
in heavy taxation. Almost every settler
-has his 320 acres of land, consequently
settlers are far apart, and especially when
you take into consideration bad land here
and there, railway lands which are not in
the market, and then the speculator's
land, which lies unimproved, said specu-
lator residing in 'Winnipeg. Toronto, or
Montrealeto the disadvantage of the ac-
tual settler. There, are belts of timber
which consists of poplar and oak ;' but to
toll. you the truth, many of the settlers
have to drive a: great distance for their
firewood and building tiniber. There are
quite a number of school hones in the.
course of erection-, yet it is only for six
months of the year that they are open. In
towns It is different, churches are scarce;
schoolhouses act as a substitute in the
summer time ; ln winter a good dwelling
house; With a, large stable in connection,
for the accommodation of teen's, is pre-
pared. • ,
There is very little sectarianism out
here; people .will drive five or six miles
with therr,Oxett•to hear the gospel, no
matter What denomination the preacher
represents. : Where the stations are so far
apart, :and the people a little indifferent
about preaching and religious matters,
freighting and 'moving 18 as common on
Sunday,in some parts, as visiting and
driving is in Ontario.. And were it not
for the self-sacrifice made by many of our
ministers, who have to preacli. under a,
great many disadirantages,s•things would
be worse. The nerthwest is a great field
for missionary enterprise, and it does seem
'mockery to pray to the Lord to send.
laborers into the field, and withhold the
fileailS, and also to reject • the services ,of
many a man who might do useful work,
just' because be 'doe S no6happeli to have
