Tne East Huron Liberal Conven- tion announced to be held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Saturday of this week has been postponed until Good Friday, April 3rd, owing to the inability of Dr. Macdonald and other speakers to leave Ottawa on the first date. Addresses are expect- ed from the well known D. C. Fraser, M. P., of Nova Scotia; A. Campbell, M. P., of Kent Co.; Jas. McMullen, M. P., Wellington, and the members of the Riding; Dr. Macdonald and T. Gibson. There will likely be an evening meeting as well as one in the afternoon. There should be a large attendance. .ANOTHER UNSIGNED MANI- FESTO. The ease with which resolutions are passed must make those in charge of the Remedial Bill green with envy. Then a bottle of ink, a pen, a sheet of appropriate foolscap and the ability to write a "good, round hand" can in a few moments turn a "resol- ution" into a "manifesto." Some one must have got together these articles by hook or crook in Toronto, for there is being sent to the press from that city a "manifesto," issued by the "Canadian Republican Com- mittee," declaring that the time has come to change from a degrading! colonial dependency to a free, pros -i perms and independent Canadian republic. The "usurers and the bondholders of England" come in for so much hearty execration that we suspect that the writer of the "mani- festo" must have gone into debt for I his pen, ink and foolscap. Our r,oi -' ticians are charged with having "sold" Canada to England, being' paid therefor in Imperial titles. The names of the "Committee" are not given. It is to be an anonymous revolution. Canada is to be rescued from the horrors of monarchial tyranny by men who are too modest to let their names get into the papers. It may be that they fear to be known so soon lest Imperial titles be offered them with fatal results. -Montreal 1 Strr. - THE LOWER WINGHAM ESCAPADE.I The unfortunate affair that was enacted in Lower Town, on Tuesday night .of last week has suddenly taken a much more serious turn than was looked for, and many a respect- able citizen, who gave vent to out- raged decency in thoughtless excla- mations such as all will use in times of tion, and we believe, in doing so, we are voicing the _sentiments of every right thinking citizen. If one half be true that was said of him, Field was beyond doubt a most inhuman wretch, but we have British law for such cases and though it intght have been difficult to have obtained proof of guilt, yet there are officials paid by the Government, whose duty it is to ferret out such cases and who every day they are bringing to light and justice, cases where proof of guilt is just as difficult to secure as it would have been in this case. It is useless to say that the authorities had tried to prosecute before and failed. Was there not exidence accummulating against him every day since the first unfortunate occurrence, but it only exemplifies the old proverb that what is everybody's business is no- body's business. EDITOR1AI,4 NOTES. IT Is announced that Jos. Martin, M. P. for Winnipeg will not be a candidate for Parliament at the next election. Mn. D. C. FRASER and Dr. Lander - kin will address meetings at Flesher - ton and Markdale, on Friday and at Paisley and Chesley, on Saturday. ENGLAND is making great prepara- tions to send an expedition into Africa to support the Italians and defend British interests. France does not like it any too well. AT A meeting cf the Orangemen at Bracebridge, a resolution was passed calling on Mr. John A. Mc- Gillivray, M. P., to oppose all attempts at remedial legislation in • Parlia- ment. SIR CHP.S. TUPPER has announced Ito the House that Mr. Greenway will I be invited to Ottawa to'confer with I the Government after the division on the second reading. It is else said that Mr. Laurier will also be invited Ito attend the conference. SIR CHARLES TUPPER, Bart. cut a deplorable figure in the House the other day, when he was forced to admit that he had read a private telegram from Mr. Greenway to Sir Donald Smith, without obtaining permission, and a garbled edition of it at that. IT Is urged on behalf of Father Lacombe that he is an innocent old missionary priest who has spent his life among the Indians of the North- west and is utterly unaccustomed to the ways of politicians. If he is a than of that kind he should. leave Ottawa and get back to his mission field as fast as possible. Ottawa at present is not a safe place for him. —Presbyterian. THE Ontario Government has about completed arrangements with the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways concerning trans- portation of members. The govern- ment will divide the usual mileage rates between the two big companies and in return receive members' tickets, not passes,which will be good for the entire year. This will he more satisfactory for the members, for at present the passes are only good during the session. excitement, will find himself in much the same position as old Henry II, when in his rage with Becket, he exclaimed, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" and like Henry be may now do penance because of bis inopportune exelamations before those who gladly accepted these as an excuse for an unseemly carousal The death is anounced of ex- Sherriff Sutton of Bruce. He was one of the first settlers in that part of the township of Kincardine which afterwards became the town. Here some 42 years ago he built the first grist and saw mill, and from. that time till the day of his death bad carried on the milling operation either in Ontario or British Columbia, In 1866 he was appointed sheriff of the county, when he moved. with his family to Walkerton.

While for the large buisness interests in British I Columbia, and in 1893 removed to mke of the reputation of our town that place. On Wednesday, lllarch llth, the residence of Mr. Edward IIaines was the scene of a happy event, when his neice, Annie T,, one of the most estimable young ladies of Wawanosh, was united in marriage to Mr. Wil. McQuillan, of the same place. At 6 o'clock p. m., during the playing of the wedding march by Miss Vivian Clayton, of Listowel, the interested parties entered the well -tilled parlor and took their res- pective places, the bride leaning on the arni of her father, 111r. Robert Haines. The Rev. Mr. Miles, B. A., of Lucknow, then proceeded with the marriage ceremony. The amiable young bride, who is very popular, owing to her social standing and the active part she takes in Church work, and who lives not for herself but for the welfare of others in the community, was becomingly attired in a handsome costume of cream cashmere, trimmed with lace and ribbon. Her sister, Miss Jennie Haines, who was dressed in pale pink cashmere, trimmed with ribbon, acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Harry McQuillan, brother of the groom as best man. After partaking of the luxuries, the Rev. Mr. Miles treated the newly married couple to some good advice to be their guide through life. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. M. McPherson, of Grand Valley, uncle and aunt of the bride, and Misses Annie T. and Jessie Blain, of Grimsby, cousins of the bride; de Mis s Vivian tarn Clayton, of Listowel ; Mrs. McQuillan, mother of the groom ; Messrs. Ed. and John McQuillan, brothers of the groom ; Mr. and Mrs. D. Archer, - Mr. and Mrs. W. Webb, Miss E. J. McQuillan, Mr. Richard McQuillan, Mr. James McQuillan and Master Albert Mc- Quillan, cousins of the groom ; Mr. J. Andrews, jr., of Lucknow; Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwards and Miss Lizzie Edwards, the Misses Woods and Mr. Robt. Durnin, of St., Helens ; Mr. Thomas Woods and Miss Mar,•y Woods, of St. Helens ; Miss Miles, of Lucknow ; Mr. H. Macey, of St. Helens; Miss J. Phillips and Miss S. Addison, of Fordyce. The presents were numerous, with variety and taste and we feel assured that her husband will not only enjoy a well kept home, but a happy home, made so by a seeming Christ like spirit. The festivities were kept up until an early hour. We are sure all the I friends can heartily join in wishing this young couple a happy and pros- perous life here and eternal life here- after. GLENANNAN. Mrs. Lincoln is slowly recovering from her sickness. Miss Aggie Eadie was home on a I visit on Friday last. Our town is very quiet at present as there is not the least ripple of ex- citement. Mr. James Austin has gone to Howick where he has been engaged for the summer. I A number of our sports attended ' the tea -meeting in Belmore, on Wednesday evening of last week and say they had an a. 1. time - We are glad to learn that Mr. Copeland is on the mend although slowly and it will be some time be- fore he will be able to pursue his duties. A very pleasant evening was spen at the house of 31r. John Marshall on Thursday evening of last week where a number of our young people assembled for the purpose of danc- ing. The concert which was held in our school house here, on Friday evening of last week was largely attended but the programme was not as good as was expected owing to the absence of some of the talents. Mr. Harry Wells occupied the chair and did ample justice to the position. On Sunday evening last, a Mr. Tramp entered the school house and put up for the night.
