House of Commons, in a letter to the
Lucknow Sentinel, states his reasons
for opposing Mr. Co11no11y,the Patron -
P. P. A. candidate fur the Local

et a lne 'thig of the County asseea-
tkn, held in Seaforth, last winter, a
resolution was passed to the effect
that "there could be no affiliation,
connection or collusion with the P. 1'.

to 4114 women, and in 1891, 509 men

A LARGE number of election pro-

Fuca' a statement made in the Imn-
perial liou:;e of Colnmonsite would
appear that the treaties made by
(treat Britain and Belgium, hi July,
18(:2, and betweeu the ✓ell erein, in
May, 1855, are still honored by the
authorities of each country. These
treaties do not prevent differential
trade relations being accorded by
Great 13ritaiii in favor of the colonies
whereby the colonies ~would be given
exclusive commercial privileges of
entry on British markets, but they
do prevent differential treatment of
tariff questions by the colonies of
(creat Britain in favor of the Mother
Land.. This ,will, no doubt, interfere
with the commercial federation idea
which was formulated at recent In-
tercolonial Conference at Ottawa.

The arrest of the notorious Bill
Powley, who had been carrying on
Ids nefarious work .of fleecing the
public by following Cook & Whitby's
circus, at (.;alt on Friday last, brings
to mind a Niece of slick work he con-
cocted and carried to an issue in
London a few years ago. }ie ar-
ranged the scheme by taking two
residents of the city into his confi-
dence and the trap was laic' to en-
snare -8 well -known ----we will say ---
business man into their quarters,
which were situated in the West enol.
Powley arrived there, put up at the
Grand Central Hotel, and having a
few spare moments—as he put it—
he wished to have a quiet game of
"poker" to while away the time, and
as luck would bane it, ran across one
of his "pals," which, of course, by
mere accident. His other accomplice
was down street with the business
man, where they at once repaired.
A game was suggested, which all
agreed to, and the little scheme was
started. From this on it was the old
story,,.the dupe was allowed to win
for a time, but the tables soon turned,
and when he had lout his all 11e re-

share of the spoils. • This extraordinary movement is at-
tributed to the reported failure of the
L AN(1SIDL, ! corn crop. Farmers, who had
the voting day, thus giving employ- j
hent to hundreds of the electors.
The court held that so doing was
1ribery,aand dealt with those engaged
i:1 it as stated. lVcre the election
1'ews as stringently enforced in Cana-
da, it is doubtful if a number of the
Dominion Cabinet Ministers would
be occupying the positions they do
today. Why, in this county of Huron,
in the year 1891, the Controller of
Customs, so Conservative journals ;
told us, openly offered a port of 'entry
for Seaforth as a bribe to the people
of that town to vote for the Conser-
vative candidate in the recent Local
election. Since the election, a port
of entry has been opened there, and
now the sante journals are pointing
with pride to the fact that the Con-
troller of Customs kept his promise.
This system of bribing the electors
with their ov111 money, as Well OA
every other system of bribery, should
be wiped out by the people. Just as
few clays before the adjournment of
the Dolihinion Parliament, the Finance
Minister brought before the House
the raailway Subsidies to be voted,
amounting to somewhere in the neigh-
b•)rhood of 41,000,000. These sums
will be dangled before the people in
different sections of the Dominion as
bribes, and no doubt many of them
will never be paid and were voted in
anticipation of the political capital
that can be pined from them.
