adverisers in the world " is like
taking down your sign. If you

the people know it. Standing

A CANADIAN ABROAD.—Ex-May-
or Meyer, of Wingham was in
town ou Wednesday last. In con-
versation with him he mentioned
some interestiner. episodes in his
trans-Atlantic °trip. While in
Germany he met Hon. Mr. Jones,
Swedish Consul at Tahiti, who is
owner of a large number of vessels
that trade among the Islands of the
Pacific Ocean. At the suggestion
of Mr. Meyer, Mr.Jorss determined
to return to the Pacific via the C.
P. It. Mr. Meyer furnished Mr,
Jorss with letters of introduction to
loading commercial and railway
men in Canada, and the courtesy
thus extended may turn the atten-
tion of foreigners to the tratie•
ad-
vantages of Canada. Mr. Meyer
has at lea et created a favorable im-
pression concerning Canada in the
mind of a influential foreign gentle-
man.The Hon.Mr.Jorss,writing from
San Francisco of date Oct. 3, says:
The C.P.R. line is good throtighout,
all employees most civil and oblig-
ing; grub good ; and the scenery
really and truly magnificent;
beats tho Simmering &. Gott-
hard railway and Switzerland into
fits. •It was marvelously beautiful,
the only drawback was just; .when.
leaving the Glacier House there
was a slight snow storm high in
the mountains, so we could' not see
the tops, and also that you lose so
much of° the fine scenery during
the dark. There Should.be another

could stop over night and travel

A WRONO ESTIMATE.—At a eiti-
zen's.railway meetina held in Gode-
rich last week Dr. × was kind
enough to refer to Clinton as a keen
rival of Goderich. His idea appar-
ently being to prevent Goderich
people from working hand in hand
with Clinton in getting an extension
of the C. P. R. to Goderich via
Clinton. The Dr. can, possess his
soul in peace. The C.P.R. is going
to be built on lines most advantage-
ous to the company andthe largest
public. And that will be by Clinton.
It is to the interest of Goderich
especially that it should run by way
of Clinton. Goderich has nothing
to lose by the proposed road coming
this way; Each town has about all
the area of country trade tributary
to it now that it will over get. The
policy of each should be to have
that cut off as little as possible. Dr.
Holmes' scheme, by Wiugliani, we
presume, as he mentions Beumillor
and Manchester as on the line of it,
would cut off' a very largo slice of
territory that now trades at Gode-
rich. With a lino passing through.
Manchester the people in that vicin-
ity ,would no more go to Goderich
to trade than the people of Clinton
now do. The building of the old
11, IL and L. H. road cut tho coun-
tryrade from Goderich up to with-
in six miles of it. A line to the
north-east would similarly cut it off
in that direction. A Hue in the
direction. Dr, Heinle- ss eel's would
not injure Clinton, but would ma-
terially injure Goderich. The main'
object of the C. P. R. icto obtain
the most direct line from the lake
to connect with their trunk lines
leading ta the seaboard. From
Goderich to Guelph via Clinton is
the most direct, possessing the least
engineering difficulties, while tap-
ping the most considerable towns
and securing the greatest amount of'
local freight. In passing we might
refer to the senseless spirit of jeal-
ousy that some people would like to
see exist between Goderich and
Clinton. There is no cause for such.
li:ach has its own mission to fulfil.
Each should work for its own pro-
gress, and not with an eye to injure
the other.

Iturunris TO THE CHABGE.—The
Expositoisreferring to its charge thaL
the Trustee Board of the Ontario
St. Methodist church, Clinton, were
opposed to revival or 'evangelical
services because they were doing. or
likely to do good, and that no better
field offered for an energetic avan-
t,
inficatwarkerthan among menibers
of said Board, last week justifies
its .former outrageous statements.
The Expositor now says it has
.received letters from some of the
"parties immediately concerned"
corroborating its version. We
have had a talk with one of the
parties immediately eoncerned-
that is Ono of the trustees—and he
repudiates the slanderous estimate of
himself and fellow members circula-
ted by the Expositor; and we are ac-
quainted personally or by reputation
with the other members and have no
hesitation iu. saying that an im-
inouse majority of the congregation,
and their follow citizens generally,
do not believe one word of the slan-
der sought' to be fastened on thein
by the Expositor. The trustees
were elected by the leading mem-
bers of the clieseliekhorters, class'
leaders etc.—and aro supposed to
be representative ,of the congrega-
tion. That they !nay have erred in
judgment goes without saying, but
the statement that they aro opposed
to any legitimate mode of doing
good has not the faintest shadow of
truth in it. Tho E./positor has
doubts about tho "honorable under-
standing" between the pastor and
trustees. Another drive at the in-
tocrprity of the trustees. They and
the pastor aro the only ones who
know what that understanding is,
by virtue of a pledge of secrecy, •
and the Expositor liu no right to
assume that they did anything dis-
honorable. In other words he has
no right to have doubts about an
"honorable understanding." Tho
trustees, however, aro not the only
ones who have been unfairly dealt,
with by some one, it is to be hoped
not by theExpositor's informant. The
rev. gentlemou has at various times
received anonymous letters that
could only have been written by
persons as evil disposed as those
who have attacked the trustees.
Anything we have written has not
been at the instigation of the per-
sons attacked, but as a journalist we
have considered it our duty to re-
lieve respectable and respected
local fellow citizens from the odium
sought to be cast upon them in the
columns of an outside journal.
