dee. IBut there is oenplmee of Sir John
A's career that must sooner or later ter-
minate, if the moral and material progress
bf the country is to go on. He. has kept
himself thus long in power by corrupt
means, and hardly his strongest support-
er will deny this, but instead of terming
t " corruption," they attribute it to
'shrewdness" or "political exigency." But
the corruption exists, no matter what
name they give it.
Now, in the opinion of many, the poli -
acid affairs of the Dominion cannot go on
as they haye of late years. It is only na-
tural that the Premier's opponents should
object to it, but'inore than opponents are
realizing that his influence has a demoral-
'zing tendency, and while there may not
yet have been any special manifestation
of this—nothiug to show emphatically its
existence—it is still believed to exist, and
extending day by day. People are more
than tired of the desperate means that
have been resorted to for the accomplish-
ment of political ends, and are hoping
that the day will soon be ushered in when
such things will not be. Though Sir John

some time he will find that there is a warm handshaking followed the ceremony,
and many prayers were offered that they
might abide in the faith of the gospel:
growing sentiment averse to the general
course he has pursued in order to keep
his position, and while he may console
himself with the reflection that the peo-
ple, tort large extent, have condoned all
manner of wrong -doing in the past, we'
venture the hope that he will not find
theneso willing in the future. We have
heard some of his strongest admirers
speak in the most derogatory manner of
his past actions, and assert their convic-
tions that the time would speedily arrive
when respectable members of the Conser-
five party would not support him therein.
It would be infinitely better tor the coun-
try to return to a state of barbarisni, al-
most, than that it should go on for many
years longer, in the way the Dominion
has heen going on for the past few years.
Tile Toronto News, (full brother of the
Mail) intimates that .the proposed de-
monstration to Sir John, to take place
shortly, isneally got up for the purpose
of selecting a leader for the party, in case
Sir John should retire on the recom-
mendation of his medical advisers.
Ie the gentlemen in Goderich who
send telegrams from that place to the
daily press would manifest less egotism,
the public would form a higher opinion
of them. If one of them moves even a
vote of thanks at a public meeting, a
" special," sent by themselves, next day
announces that Mr. So-and-so made a
elling speech. Display a little more
.common sense and modesty, friends, there
is plenty of room.
Arrangements having been made for con-
firmation services in this town and 'a num-
ber of contiguous churches; the Bishop 01?
the diocese; Right Rev. M. S.. Baldwin;
and lady, arrived in town on Saturday
evening. A large number of residents
called upon him at the rectory diet even-
ing, all feeling greatly pleased at the
friendly intercourse. On Sunday morn-
ing he proceeded to Blyth, returning here
by the way of Summerhill, holding con-
firmation services in both places, one in
the morning, the other in the afternoon.
In the evening St. Paul's church here was
crowded with a deeply interested audience
to witness and take part in the confirma-
tion services. The Bev.Mr. Craig, and
-Archdeacon Marsh, of LOndthi,•conducted
the general services, 'after which the
Bishop addressed the candidates -for con-
firmation in a very impressive and: ear-
nest tnanner,• pointing outtheir. duties,
privilenes, source of aid andSupport, and
the glory that awaited them. if they prov-
ed faithful to the end. .The candidates
thenjicame forward, four at a ;Arne, and
receted the imposition of bands, andlite
invo ation of a blessing on each singly.
After the conclusion of thitederemony the
Bishop preached an eloquent and very ae-
ceptable sermon from Matt. viii, 20, "The
Son of Man," setting forth very impress-
ively the fact that Jesus especially damned
this title for Himself,: to prove that ITO
desired mankind to look upon him as one
of themselves, and was in sympathy with
men as their Friend and Redeemer. At
the conclusion of the interesting services
certificates were given to all the con-
firmed parties. We understand that fifty -
Ave were confirmed, here and at Summer-
hill together: Arehdeacoe Elwood, of
Goderich, was also present, but took no
active part in the services. On Meedey;
the BishoP, together with the Revs.Missre.
Marsh and Craik, went to Manchester,
and then proceeded to Beigrave, ifl beth
of which places Confirmation services Were
held. The Bishop afterwards- went to
Wing:ham and Listowel. •
A FINE MONEEMENT.—kr. W. M. Gif-
fin, agent of the St. Thomas White Bronze
Monument CO., placed in position iast
Montlay a monument, in the Clinton
cemetery, to the Memory of Mr. Jonathan
Carter. The base is four feet square, fire-
ished so as to resemble rough cut stone,
above this are three other smaller bases.
The upper portion of the shaft is decorat-
ed with drapery, trimmed with fringe and
tassels, surmounted by a statue 'of young
St. John, with a lamb in his arms, the
whole risink to ever twelve feet. On the
front base is the name Carter, and on
either side is 9. Carter and J. Carter. On
all four sides arc neat removable tablets
for inscription, only one of which is oc-
cupied.

additional railway accommodation one
of the advantages arising therefrom
would be a reduction in express charges.
This would be an advantage, if there was
any likelihood of it being so, but the Star
does not evidently know the inner work-
ings of express companies. Besides this,
the amount of goods expressed either too
or from Goderich in a year, does not
amount' to much more than a hill of

TILE Monetary Times, a paper in a po-
sition to speak with authority, gives the
following with regard to the market pros-
pects, which should not only be borne in
mind by farmers, but should influence
them in disposing of their grain without
unnecessary delay. It says :—" But there
is nothing in this view of the future out-
look to affect prices this year; and low
prices must almost certainly continue as
the result of a superabundant if not un-
