It does seem to Us a singular thing. that evsu any utunber of ordinarily intelligeut men can be found to Op- pose the priuciples of Commercial Union. or Uurestricted Reciprocity. tk e development of this country progresses wider markets than those we possess must be found,for our sur- plus products, Even now, as every one knows, we produce wore ie most respects, than we can const. nie. This surplus find a foteign market. It matters not to the producer where that market is, provided be gets the full beuefit of it, butit does matter it, fromainy 'cause, he is debarred from getting ail the advantages he is fairly entitled to. It may be said that we should create a home matket for our natural products; that has been in- effectually tried for several years, and The trial has developed something worse than the first evil, for tbe arti- ficial stimulus given to manufacturers has led to overproduction, which, in turn must seek a foreign market or lead to the closing down of certain hues of manufacture until the surplus is worked oft'. The Atnericans are good custotnere for a great deal of our farm produce; they are even good customers for cer- tain lines of manufactures, and there is nothing to show that they would not, at leasabe equally as good under Reciprocity. It is wore than probable that they would be better. Canadian farmers must. if they wish to make money, turn their attention more to stock and leis to grain. The heavy. draught horses of Huron are admitted to be the yery best tbat can be raised in this country. Every animal of this class that is sold for export, goes to the United States. Would not tbe removal of tbe American duty create a better market? Most assuredly it would, and there is scarcely such a thing as overstocking it. No hbrees (excepting blooded ones) areimported from the States, so that the farmers would be directly and very rnaterially benefitted. This argument holds good in reference to the most of farm products. The opening of the markets to us would not shut us out of the Euglish markets, as sometimes alleged by thee() opposed to us on this question. The English people are too anxious to have all the trade they can get,and too sensible to erect any tariff barriers that would prevent them getting it. In the natural order of things some change must soon take place. No one will seriously assert that. the N. P. is a permanent success. It has been of advantage to some manufac- turers, but none to the fatrners. Times have been just as bard as any one wants to see them, and if they can be made any better it is to the interest of all to try and make them so, We believe that Commercial Union will accomplista this. We do not believe that its influence would be injurious to ani class. Canada has a population of five million in round numbers. In the country nearest to us are living one nsillion native-born Canadians, fery few of whoui could be persuaded, to return to Canada. We do not wish to see our countrymen building up the interests of another country when they might be building up their own.

For some time past the Methodist the terms o1. agreement, and, after re - Conferences have been passing reso- peated futile attempts on the part of lutions of various kinds that would the University authorities to se(nre hedf,e in and Protect the ministers the proper observnuce of the contract . . on the part of the city council, an ap- plication was made in the proper court, and the lease was quieted. All at once,the council became awake the ministers considered themselves to the situatton' of things, when it 'the servants of the people, divinely was too late, and saw that they bad appointed to the work of saving souls, blundered. It is very desirable in without any Ppecial consideration as necessary end proper. In the conned of time, Itovever, it was discaxered that• the council had quite- ignored from what they deemed to be ithe unfair control° of the people, and the foregoing is another of the same type. There was a time in Methodism when to the salary .they were to receive. Now, to a large extent, this •is changed. The, ministers are the coasters, -and we are sorry to say that with some of them the saving of souls is secondary to "what' salary do you pay." It is nat the case with all, because we know some honorable ex. ceptions. The above resolution is an attempt to take away from the people the privilege they possess of "protesting" against sonic minister they may not think suitable, yet it leaves hi the hands or ministers the Lionel-. to "work" the Stationing Committee all they like or can. Does any one con- nected- with Methodism seriously be- lieve that the members of this Com- mittee are influenced solely by the desire to do the best they can lor the interests of the churches they repre• sent, because, if they do, they are exceedingly verdant. There was -.a time when such was the case, but it has passed away. Why should not the people, through either their Quarterly Boards or indi- vidual representatives, have some voice in saying what minister they are willing to accept. They have to do the paying, and should surely be allowed some choice in the matter. A course of practical newspaper work would be of infinite benefit to the men who draw up resolutions at conventions.

The election of a Liberal to the British Hou e of Commona in Ayr, Scotland, on Friday, bias tremendous victory for Gladstone and Home Rule. 'rhe majority of nearly twelve hundred given by that constituency twu years ago against Home Rule has been converted into a majority o' 63 for Mr Gladstone's policy, The total vote polled on :Friday was 4,590, compared whit 4,071 . the, general election,so that very ft w electors stayed at hotne this time The Lib- erals gained 933 votes and the Salis- bury party lost 405. At the general election the vote stood 2.,473 for Campbell,',alienist, and 1,408 for Siaclair, Gladstonian On Friday, Sinclair received 2,331., and Ashley, the government caudidate,I,268. This result indicates thataltright,Charuber- lain, Goschen and the 0 her scecalled Liberal Unionists have no fol:owers among the masses At the general election the Liberal organization in Scotland was paralyzed by the de- fection of men who ought to have stOod by Mr Gladi-inae, and. the re- sult was that many of tire deserters THE decision of the Niagara Con- ference concerning the Longley aflaii is anything but creditable to the Methodist Church. _ THE Signal is crowing because the people of Goderich have decided in favor of the northern route for the C.P.R. Well, the editorial bead of the.Signal will be much grayer than it is before the road reaches Goderich from that direction.

But the people are now rallying to Mr Gladstone as of yore, and if a general election could be had to•morrow the Salisbury government would be crushingly beaten. The managers of the Empire have made a fourth demand upon its share- holders for funds, to keep the concern moving. There's nothing unusual'in this. It takes money to run it news- paper.

He expressed the' opinion that those county councillors who refuse to act in this matter could.not be reflecting the the views of their constituents, but only their own individual.opinions. The first case taken up was Hutton vs Lennon, an action for goods sold and delivered. By direction of His Honor the jury notice was struck out, and the case adjourned until a day to be fixed. Priskator vs Kernick was an action on an award. Judgment was reserved. Reith vs Happel. -Action for conver- sion of horses. Jury dispensed with by consent, and judgment reserved.

The charge of assault against John Hyndman, of Exeter, in which con - "Observer" in Monday's Globe, pays the following tribute to a gen- tleman well known here: -Rev Dr Williams is one of the veterans of Canadian Methodism. He has grown up with his church until he is joint holder of the foremost- position in its gift. From a circuit rider in the woods of Eastern Canada be bas be- come one of the heads of a denonsina- tion with an active membertship of tiacihandred thou -ea -id anal at least six hundred thousand adherents. Trained to a rude, ready ministry among the pioneers of the forest, he has the strong logical power and the persuaeive eloquence to convince and more the most cultured city congre- gation. He preaches with as much acceptance from the modern pulpit as from the teachers' desk in the old log school house. The characteris- tics of Dr Williams' oratory are can- dor, simplicity of language, profound faith in his m essage,. and solenin earnestness of presentation. It is the plain common-sense of Christianity and sublime purpose of its . mission that he presents to the people. In the chair Dr Williams it almost un- equalled. He can soothe an angry brother. or silence a loquacious dele- gate,. or side-track an unprofitable debate with a kindliness, a shrewd- ness and an effectiveness:that charms even the disturber and delights even the figbting wing. Speaking mete- phorically, he takes incipient irrita- bility by the heels and yanks it out of the sufferer before he has had time to remonstrate, and when he has recov- ered be finds the Conference is placid. ly •sailing' avvay into other business with Father Williams, smiling and unruffled, at the helm. Ile has' the meeting always under his control, confining its deliberations rigidly within the rules of order, suppressing all mere verbiage oratory, and cover- ing ground at it rate of' speed that under any ordinary chairman would be fatal to sound conclusions and the proper despatch of business. I know well the chairmen of the various committees of the House of Com- mons and I 'do not hesitate to say t at not one of them can conduct t e meeting with the tact, discletion nd judgment of Dr Williams. Even Sir Hector Langevia, the best chair- man of the Commons, is an indiffer- ent second to this father of Method• ism. Dr Williams has held his place in the Methodist ministry for forty - twit years without a single break, and he has raised up sons to the Method- ist pulpit. He represents the best traditions of the Church, the agres- sive spirit of early Methodism, and the zeal and courage and culture of its later development. He is a grand old man, Around the County.
