THE HURON SIGNAL
PRWI B, APRIL 8, 1881.

Commas D. BAs*, of the Lindsay
Peel eases of victorious is the recent libel
emit brought against him by Grace, of
the Lindsay School Board. By making
• plucky stand on the mutter in ques-
tion, did Charles D. Barr his adversary
freta getting either an or dam-
ages. This is a coup de f{<raoe, so to
speak, to the ewbrogllo.
NiciOLA& FLOOD DAv1N has been
giving his opinion of Canadian Parlia-
mentary speakers, and pays a high com-
pliment to the leading men on both
aides of the House. Referring to a re-
cent debate, he says that "Mr. Cameron
(Huron) spoke with the foroe of a practi-
cal man and an astute lawyer," "Praise
from Sir Hubert is Isaias indeed."
Tia stand takes by the Liberals dur-
ing the last general election, that the
foreign demand regulated the price of
canadian farm produce, is now admitted
even by the most extreme Nation Pol-
oista Silsoe that time, whenever the
price of grain fell below its normal
figure, our N. P. friends, who had put
a "mask" tariff on grain, shrieked,
"Ok, the Liverpool markets are downl"
thus endorsing those who had pre-
vioaaly pointed oat the absurdity of put-
ting on • high tariff on grain. Now
that Canadian consumers are paying an
extra cent a lb. for meat., there is no
credit taken to the increased duty on
live stock, but the "Old Country de-
mand" is said to be the cause of the
rise. The hollowness of the Agricultur-
al Protection cry has been proven after
two year's trial; and those farmers who
were caught by it in 1878 have a rod in
pickle for the party which promised
them much and gave them nothing.
Taz total returns for East Northum-
berland are Crouter, 1,190; Kennedy,
1,700, giving Crouter a majority of 190.
The official count in Carleton gives the
following totals :—Irvine, 1470; Connell,
1425; majority for Irvine, 45. The fol-
lowing is a portion of Mr. Irvine's ad -
dregs, and will give an idea of the out-
spoken character of the man :
"The 'People of this county must not,
cannot, shall not stultify themselves be
fore the world, by sanctioning those
acts so fatal to the Dominion at large,
and that policy of PrJt.ctinn, so espe-
cially damaging to this Province. We
roust not endorse their broken pledges,
all of which is dune if a Government
candidate is elected without opposition.
I am resolved to save the people of
Carleton this stigma, as no other man
has offered. I, who profess to be only
a farmer in the backwoods, have deter-
mined to place myself at your disposal.
I have no money to spend in bribery,
and if elected it must be by the indepen-
dent voice of the electors, who by my
election will have done all that in them
lies to wipe away the stain resulting
from the acts of the present Govern-
ment."
A STRANos political contest is going
on at Northampton between Henry
Varley, the celebrated revivalist, and
Bradlaugh, the noted infidel. Bradlaugh,
it will be remembered, was elected to
the position at the general election, and
raised some excitement by refusing to
be sworn. Afterward he expressed a
willingness to take the oath but it was
found necessary to snake his admission
to the House of Commons the subject
of a vote, and he took his seat up-
on the division being in his favour.
His case was brought before the Courts
and it was adjudged that lie was sitting
illegally, and liable to a heavy penalty.
Such being the cane, Bradlaugh resigned,
and placed himself in the hands of the
electors. It had been said that the
noted infidel owed his former election
to having run in a pair with Labouchere,
and it was thought that the constituency
would reject hint were he to run on his
own merits. There was talk of Miss
Coutts -that -was new husband -that -is,
the late Ashmead-Bartlett, coining .utas
the Opposition candidate, lout that gentle-
man after due deliberation thought he
had as much business out hand as he
he could well attend to, and declined to
the nominee. Atl this stage, Rev.
Henry Varley came forward as an op-
ponent to Bradlaugh, from a religious
stand point, while a regular candidate
Iran also set up by the Conservative
Party. And now the battle will not he
fought out on straight political issues
alone, if at all. Politica are politics and
religion is religion, and we cannot see
why the one is sought to be dragged
into the other. if a clergyman attempt-
ed to run a church on politica, he would
soon be denounced, and we fail to see
why a politician should attempt to run
politica on church principles. We have
known many real religious men, like
our own Mr. Farrow, who made very
indifferent politicians, and we have also
known excellent political tacticians, of
the Sir John stripe, who made no loud
professions et piety.

Iv is said that a number ut county
postmasters are in the habit of lasing
cancelled stamps, and the authorities are
about to investigate the tytttar. it is
also said the! s1,me stn tilos et.sIMt
people cannot see where the hers is o1
using a stamp that has already been
used, but whish the poet oaks clerks
have failed to deface. Perhaps, then
are fewer temptations to penbity ,Aare
trying than to tear up an unmarked post-
age stamp which has already done ser-
vice, but which would pass muster again.
But to palm off a postage stamp which
has already been used is just as bad as
stealing the value of the stamp in cash,
whether it be an undefaced one, or one
cleansed and r. -gummed.
Tis editor of tise Strafford Times is
convinced that he made a "jolly old Mb
of himself" in the matter of the Judge
Squier investigation controversy. Ia his
last issue he drops the subject alto-
gether. and instead of endeavoring to
argue his case, or let himself out of the
difficulty by a manly apology for his ig-
norance of facts regarding the nutter, he
publishes a mournful wail against the
editor of Tilts Sweat for the Unpalatable
dose of enlightenment given him on the
subject under discussion. Whipped
curs will whine, and although we pity
the Times man in his tribulation, yet
justice had to be done in the premises
Next time he starts to bully and bluster
he will look before he leaps.

As raiepemaeat Opiates.
The success of the two Liberal candi-
dates, one in New Brunswick and the
other in an Ontario conatituency, unex-
pected in both cases, is a prettygood
indication of the way in which te tide
of public sentiment is running. It is
doubtless true that the Government is
as strong as ever in Quebec, but it is
not by any means as strong as ever in
Ontario and the Dlarititne Provinces.
Its success at the last elections in On-
tario was phenomenal, for the Liberal
were routed on their own ground, horse,
foot and artillery. But the Govern-
ment must snake up its mind to lose
largely both in Ontario and the Mari-
time Provinces the next time. It will
be fortunate if it does not find itself left
in the lurch.—[Telegram.

From the New Era.
For a considerable time interested par-
ties have endeavored to prove that Cana-
dian Salt was inferior to English, for
dairying purposes, and although it has
been most clearly shown that such was
not the case, but that the Canadian ar-
ticle was in every respect equal to the
English, and in some points superior,
there still remained a certain prejudice
among some cheese makers against Cana-
dian salt. Am further testimony in favor
of our own article of manufacture, we
give the following letter received by Mr.
R. Ranaford, of the Stapleton Salt
Works, (near Clinton', from Mr. Thos.
Ballantyne, of Stratford, than whom
there is no better authority i n Canada,
on the matter:--
STRATFORD, 24th March 1881.
DEAR SIA,—I should have attended to
yours of the 17th inst. sooner; I leave
for England to -day, and have only time
to drop you a few lines with reference to
your Factory Filled Salt. I have cheese
on hand now, in the manufacturing of
which I used Higgins' Eureka and your
own Factory Pilled Salt as an experi-
ment, and to test, as far e• possible,
the quality of yours as compared with
Eureka, before giving my opinion. Hav-
ing now done so, I can with confidence
recommend it to our Dairymen. I an
well satisfied with its quality, and con-
sider it equal, as far as i have been able
to judge, to any salt ever used by me in
the manufacture of cheese.
Yours truly,
THOMAS BA LLA STIR I.

An individual wearing a large plug
hat, brand new, was found wandering in
the bush near Teeswater a week ago,
enquiring from the natives where he
could get a cheap railroad. He was
directed to an old saw mill, which had
ceased to hum, (even the N. P. could
not revive its music), and shown two
parallel1ines of decayed Bantling, which
started at the old mill, and ended at the
alb pile, on which rested the remains of
an old four weeled structure badly bat-
tered, and rusted with disuse and age.
He was informed this valuable property
could be bought. After two days nego-
tiation, and the disappearance of a large
quantity of old rye, in which time the
plug hat was beginning to comport itself
with the occasion, and assimilate itself
to the surroundings, a bargain "fast and
and sure" was concluded for the large
sum of three dollars and seventy-seven
cents, payable at Kintail, from the first
earnings of the railnad; and the man
with the plug hat, chartered a boy with
an old horme and waggon, to remove his
purchase to Kintail. But he got,, so
bewildered with the magnitude of hie
purchase, he loot his way, and still he
wanders. At lad accounts he t"ilas asking
the natives to take him home, and the
Township of Ashfield would reward
them handsomely. When asked who
he was, he mournfully exclaimed: I was
once conqueror but now I resemble that
other plug hat man, at Port Albert who
went to Ottawa, and on his arrival did
not know himself from his respectable
brother at home.
