The Queen's Jubilee year is upon
tis and it is reported by citble that
the • Imperial Govoyninon•t has de.
aided to proclaim -Tuesday, 21st
,lune, ar- a •public holiday. Probab-
ly the Canadian authorities will fall

•towns in Canada have made_ ;rants
of money to be spent on the holiday,
M:honever it' niay bo, in junketing,
fire works or in some other equally
ephemeral manner. It were Prefer -
also that the thousands of 'dollars
that will be spent on thhe Jubilee
holiday ,should lie' 'spent so that it
would- be commemorative- for alk

the:reign of our belayed, Qnoen, a
period during acliich the very best
results of the beat form of govern-
ment on the face' of the earth, in'
the grandest Empire on God's foot-
stool, have been attained. More es-

Man'e benefit and God's blessing
would surely attend the uiidertak-
iu 1, and many• poor souls, made in
the imago of the ,great Creator,
though sadly, defaced it may be,
would for ell 'time riso up and call
the Huron 'county pai'liament of
1887 blessed ; and tJiie `.name of
Queen Victoria in whose Jubilee,
year and iu. •whose „honor it was
founded would not only be written
on the stone' of the building but
would be preserver) in the living
hearts of humanity from generation
to generation.
And not only could the grant for,
the building bo made; but a scheme
might be adopled'by which it could
be endowed with a certain revenue
in.caso it should not be self support-
ing. This might bo done by setting
apart smile particular revenno for
the purpose—say auctioneers' and
pedlars' :'licenses, a per ceutage of
fines accruing' under the Scott Act.,
or in FM ofeiquorlicense, a certain
portion bf the foes, :
We believe that in the crude
remarks wo have made there is the
germ of some practical scheme
'whereby the community might bo
benefitted and the Jubilee year por-
maueutly kept' in rnrelnbrauco.
G UILTY, BUT NOT P1IOVEN.
It will be remembered thtit at the
late local elections, b.It'. Dack of the
Iiiucardiue Ilcpoi ter,, wee .the sue-
coast'ul canndidato-', by .• a . few votes
over Mr. 11aii'i1' ex -Warden of the
county and ex -Mayor of Kincar-
dine. Mr. Deck posed as a prohi-
bition candidata and yot took his
whiskey "hot and strong" during.
the cauvass, although he denied
• under oath at the trial of .Mr. Mc-
Neill, hotel Iceop'er of Paisley, that
113 haat drank intoxicatllig liquor at
that gentleman's Mousier Mr. Dank
was than prosecuted for' perjury,
Mr, Jeleis Gentles, beiug r} o, belivye
the.prosecuting coinplainaut. The
'official judgment of tiro court we
give bolune and if No. 2 of the find -t
ing moans anything„ it menus that
Mr. Deck' did drink whiskey on the
occasion referred to and consequent-
ly is guilty;of „perjury. The court
says, I find that as a natter of fact
Daok did drink whiskey at the said
'O'.ei11'a hotel in the presence, of
C. Valentine end George Black.
Yet fiuds• that the • charge against
Mr. back is notlegally sustained,•
and, consequently the. ease was alis;
missed. \Ve believe that it would
be in order to iutlict Mr. Deck be-
fore? the grand jury, and the' pal-
pable miscarriage eif justice behove
that the sanctity of that important
safeguard of society; the sacredness
of au oath, should -be vindicated by
the higher tribunal. •
.TU DWI EN T.
• 1...1 find; that; in a press option
under the Scott Act, Angns McNeill
of Pi isloy,••tried before Messrs. Mal-
com and 1ionry, justices of the
peace, at Kincardine, on the 22nd of
December last, Mr. Dack, under oath,
gave the justices to erudcrstana that
lie had not drank any intoxicating
Liquor at UicNuil's lbtweon the Ith
and the 20t11 of said mouth of D'ecem-
bet!
2. I find that, aan matter of fact,
Mr: Deck did drink 'whiskey at the
said MoNeil's hotel in"the_preoeneo of
Messrs. W. C. Valentino and 'George
Black on tho night of tits 14th of said
month. -
8.: I find that Mr, Deck was. not
necessarily aware of tho fact:tteat. it
was whiskey at the time he drauk•it
as afOreseid.. He dot not. ask, for
whiskey, but tviien • asked what he
would.lu ve,,lta.i:oplted. "the same•aa.

"the eau*, that had contributed to
"hie defeat enough was already.

True, true. The electors are quite
' well aware now (Stir. Cameron's ne-
farious attempts in variono. elections

recent occasion- tole) him pretty
plainly. Chat they. would not count-
enance any such conduct`any more.
`Sure it is that7id his latest, as his
earliest endeavors to elevate the
standard of purity, •enough of his
doings "is kno.wir to void a dozen
elections" were he that many times
elected. •
. Mn. ltleatterue, as' a •delegate from
Clintonrseemed to feel that he owed
an explanation for his town not sum-
combing to 'the shekels of Mr. Cam-
eron. He had thought . diiroreutly
of his fellow citizens, anti it :was
with funereal aspect that the delega-
tion had left tho Hub that•niorning,
o appet(ant vas this that his friends
on leaving had asked hien, "How

a very lively' corpse. This proved a
member to interject "So is a decay.'
ed cheese." This caused. eousider-
reb1e confusion as it Was not clear
• to sortie whether the interpolation
was complimentary or otherwise.
Order being restored Mr. Manuiury
expressed the opinion that "tile
'Conservative. rnajo,rit ' would soon
be mmared from Clinton." Oue
can imagine the constoruatiou that
was. spread on the countenances of
soma of the delegates who had not
loft their conscionces at hanit at the
mode (removed) by which Mr. Man-
ning hoped to:obtein a• -Grit mejor-
ity in Clinton, Ouo grey•liair
gentlemen . who' had been rond-
ed.ing nn antiquated Globe about

'tenants in Ireland, strongly' do-
inurred against introducing tho "re -
Moving" system into this T�i�ling..
It )night do among the Irish in ire -
land, but bed-eswere the Tories in
Il ron, more especially bsd'thottgh
they, might be in Clinton, he- would
not like to sae "the Conservetivo
majority rcruore'l, froth Clinton."
Explanations followed and this re-
calcitrant delegate wee appeased by
explaining to h•iin th 1t ae yot it wag
not intended to "remove" the Con-
servative majority in Cliuton after -
the manner in which- 'loyal men
in Ireland were sometimes ,"re-
• ruovod"--dynamite . and shot gins
and American 'Winchester rifles
'Would 'net lie resorted to just yet.
Mr. Manning -resnming said that
they, the Grits, had not boon boa-
ten - fairly in Clinton. Tile 'sub-
stance of his contention wet that
intimidation and coercion were re-
sorted to by employers of labor to
induce their workmen to vote Con-
sorvativo. Ile then stated that a
large. majority of the employ-
ers of labor in the town,
were Reformers. • So that if
we put this and that together a
legitimate inference from Mr. Man-
ning's promises is that Reform om-
plovers of labor in Clintou coerced
and intimidated their workman into
votiug for the Conservative- candi-
date. More especially aro' we jus-
tified in assuming this when we
remember that Mr. Manning had
previously stated that he expected
a Reform• majority of 10 in the
town which, if ,added to the 52
majority which 'the Conservatives
actually obtained, would shore that
62 employees were coerced 0r in-
timidated
i-timidated into voting Conservative.
As there ara,probably net one third
that nnnnbor of Grit etrrpl.olrees

11Ir. Pack of having sworn that he
did not drink whiskey, when as a
• matter of fact he did drink whiskey is
not perjury unless Ire knew at the

'drinking. ' The 'allegation that he did
BO know it tet be whiskey rests en.
tirely ou the evidelnoe of McNeill.
7. I find that, without exprese-
ing any opiuion_ as to the truth or
falsity of 111oNoill's evidence, it is
not iit itself sufficient to prove a
chergo of perjury. The law requires
that such a'•charge shall be ostah-
lishod beyond cavil liy at•least'two
disinterested 'Witnesses.
I, therefore, End that the charge
against Mr. D,tck is not legally sus-
tamed, and consequently dismiss the

TR07'ES7'7i1'G GRITS. •
\Ye" have now before is the offi-
cial. report of the Reform Conven-
tion held in Godorich Last week.
Mr. Cameron's appearance was the
'signal for a condolence that, like
the mournful waters of Lake ILuion
against its clay banks, surged and
lashed against the sides of the build-
ing with. almost resistless volume
and threatened at tunes to ong nlpir
the whole mites of purity.. But ter
rililo gtiof is generally short lived.
And when Mr. Cameron declaimed
agninst a "corrupt Government, an
it:famous people,, bribery, 1ntiluida-
tion; abduction, seduction, persona-
tion, inmpersonation, representation
anti misrepresontatvon,'' the" wave
atrhsidecl, an earnestness.sad and
solemn prevailed: Mr, eameron'said
that in this.othor'of his contests, he
,hod net resorted to tined'. means. • He
had placed uo hundreds of dollars so
that Iiia agents could yet them to
buy votes. If njoncy there woe it
must have rained as manna front
heaven, without any apparent hu man
agency intervening.. Cameron
was boived- down with grid' to think
that though "the Liberals were mere
alive to their work during the.catn-
paign just closer), than ho britt ever.
known them to be•duriug the tern'
of his political Irfe" yeti tlio Mame
ous.T•ories bad outnumbered them.
Just about this time the room pro?
spirted the appearance of a sea of
shipwrecked mariners. Handkor
chiefs of all shades woro waved
about, like so many flags of distress,
in the.endeavor to dry, up the briny
tears of the less than 2513tL sym-
pathetic souls present, but the Well
spillage of devotion to the great
high -priest of purity and immacul-
ate innocence, were so touched by
his inspired wand that it seemed as
though the usually adamantine
sources would never reuse their out,
pour. But when the•floor was cov-
ered somewhat; less than titles -feet
deep the with briny lachrymose offer-
ing, they regained their presence of
mind, opened the doors and the
threateuing flood subsidnd. It was
well that this wore so, otherwise the
consec•Inencoe•might have been seri-
ous whoa Mr. Cameron reoonnted

statements is that at least 40 em-
ployees` of Grit etnployore, were
coerced or intimidated by their mas-
ters into voting the Conservative
tickets. A very good certificato,
indeed, has gr. l• I inning given the
Clinton Reformers who ' employ
rvorkauan 1 That they coerced their
men into votin.g for the Tory can-
didate. Tiiis excuse of Manning
fur the minority vote in Clinton
will comtneud itself to our fellow
citizen's approval abseil as -well as
his recommendation to "remove"
the Conservative majority before
another election. What murderous
process Mr. Manning entry have in,
view -to carry out,tho latter ,,inten-
tion we have no means of surrnis
ing at,present. In justice, however,
to our fellow citizens, especially
those 'of the Conservative persua-
sion, we: )rave- felt it our duty to- pre-
•sent the situation as .wo find it.
Before cotaelueliug Tris. remarks,.
wo find Mr.,,:llanliing stating:-.:
"It should also bo remember-
ed that heyond doubt Inaiticfacturing
towns were apt to become Conserva-
tive, and Clinton could not escape
from the. gcncrrftl rule. (ruin 'I") . Pro-
bably wo have in this fast statomen'i
by Mr, Manning' the key to his
former statements which implied
defection of Reform e-rnployers and.
enlployees'froin the support of the,
Grit' candidate.
Mr. D. McGillicuddy is reported
as saying that knew the con-
"stituoncy had boon. bought out.
"• : *• •'k • *• That during the clod -
"tion certain hien were found on
"bot7t sides alio woro traveling
`through'the townships and along the
"back streets of .the town with
"plenty of money." ,
If the constituency ,,was bought
by certain mets of me side who
travelled the county with ;'plenty
of money," we have positive evid-
ence in the return of Mr. Porter
that the sellers failed to carry out
their contract. -We aro content to
admit Mr. McGillicuddy's evidence
as to his side having plenty of money
and trying to buy out the. 'conatittt-
encl, but wo protest against•his as-
sorting that both sides did buying
because he knew that his did. Wo,
suggest that Mr. McGillicu'dcly's
name bo included in the list of
agents of AI,r. Cameron which the
executive of the Conservative Asso-
ciation has in their possession, for,
the purpose of proving in court the
disqualification of Mr. Cameron in
tho proceedings which will be taken
against hire for personal bribery
and bribery by agents.
To show that business was meant
it was.
Moved by Charles Soagar, second:
ed by John Wiggington, that each
polling sub -division in West Huron
be assessed at least the sutra of $30
towards defraying the oxponses of'
protesting the election in that Rid-
ing, and that the collection of such
sum-ssbe• left in tho , hands of the
chairman an'd secretary' of the fere
ions polling sub -divisions.

by Mr, McGillicuddy that members •-•
of the Grit party had been traveling,.
