POETRY -LOVING POLITICIANS.
There are some who claim that they
can tell your character if you will but
give them the name of your favorite au-
thor. This is perhaps too sweeping a
claim, although we must admit that the
tinier of our quotations, poetic or other-
wise, can be used u pointers to our own
sentiments, and indicators of tour eon in-
clinations. We are apt to judge a
speeker by Itis references. if his au-
thorities are good he is in +air favor, if
they are bad we give but little heed to
his best sentiments. Orthodox preach-
ers do not utter rhapsodies over the
beauties of Volney, neither do "advanc-
ed thinkers" care to dwell upon the sub-
lime sentences of the Fathers. The man
of culture will have his summedspeecsummedwith the Attic salt of suggestive thought
in prose or verse from goo(' writers,
while the town loafer will be found hum-
ming the latest variety song, or repeat-
ing some maudlin chorus apostrophizing
whiskey.
It is often easy to plans your finger onnamethe nae of the pet author of a friend,
although his conversation may show wide
reading, and a good acquaintance with
the best thoughts of the best writers.
For some thought, ruling and irrepres-
sible, comes up continually during the
conversation, often unconsciously utter-
ed by the speaker, yet always recognized
in whatever habit of words it may be
wrapped. It may come u unobtrusively
as a camel, but no trappings can disguise ta
its form. And you n depend upon it
that the writer who presents that
supremo idea in the choicest manner will
be one of your friend's favorite authors.
Mr. Blake has often been bantered on
account of the frequent occurrence of
poetry in his speeches. But he has this
merit, that his authors are clean and his
quotations elevated. Tennyson and
Whittier are among his favorites, and he
lays their 'sentiments about liberty of
speech, freedom of action, and respect
for constitutional authority, under fre-
quent tribute. His poetical quotations
reveal the man who loves good'reading
and who admires noble thought. But
this did not keep him from turning with
tremendous effect upon an adversary a
nursery rhyme "as old as the hills," but
as timely as anything extertiporaneuus
could be.
Mr. Mackenzie is said to be wedded
to Butler ; but this is en assertion made
only by Tories, and therefore needs
proof before it can be accepted. Cer-
tain it is, however, that the plain-spoken
ex -Premier must have a keen apprecia-
tion of the incisive author of "Hudibras"
whose trenchant lines ho so often used
with good effect in describing certain
lights in that party against which it is
Mr. Mackenzie's dut3, andlhis pleasure,
too, to wage war.
Mr. Plumb, it is said, wrote the moat
of the poetry used by himself in debate,
and is known to have a supreme affection
and profound admiration for his favorite
author.
THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY. OCT. 118, 1882.
THE RAILWAY QUESTION.
The time for definite action on the
railway quest has arrived. A cunpe-
titive line is needed at Goderich to
develop its natural advantages, and the
sooner our public men put their. shoul-
ders to the wheel the better. For some
time back the railway question has been
agitated in the :olunins of THE SIGNAL,
but owing to lethargy on the part of the
Railway committee of the Council no
action has been taken. Last year the
work of agitating for a branch of the
Credit Valley from Woodstock, ria St.
Marys, wasbegun, and Goderich took
the initiatory work in hand. Delegates
from the different municipalities be-
tween Goderich and Woodstock met at
Exeter, and a practicable mho=was
formulated. An application for procur-
ing a charter for the proposed route was
brought before tke Legislature and acted
upon, and everything bade fair to bring
about a speedy consummation of the
Scheme when the bugaboo of the absorp-
tion of the C. V. R. by the G. W. R.
was raised, and the question was allowed
to'drop. Since that time railway mat-
ters 'have assumed a different shape.
The Great N'estern has allowed itself to
be made the victim of fusion with the
Grand Trunk- the would-be gobbler of
the C. V. R. has itself been gobbled by
the G. T. R., and tho C. V. R. still re-
trains an independent line.
Present indications point to the fact
that the C. V. R. will eventually be-
come connected with the Canada South-
ern, one of the best paying stretches of
road in Canada, and at present the pro-
perty of W. H. Vanderbilt, from whom
money cannot buy it, so long as the
Grand Trunk is his opponent in the
carrying trade. Should such an amalga-
mation takeplace, a western port onLake
Huron will be a desideratum, and on this
coast there is no better harbor for the
purpose wanted than that possessed by
Goderich. A line of steamers running
from Chicago and intermediate ports
and connecting for transhipment with
the C. V. R. terminus at Goderich,
would create a diversion in the carrying
trade which would cause the Grand
Trunk to regret that it had ever given
Goderich the cold shoulder so that Sar-
nia might be favored.
Then there is another line which could
be diverted to Goderich in the event of
the C. V. R. scheme failing of effect,
and that is the Toronto, Grey and
Bruce. This was formerly a narrow
gauge line, but during the pant year the
entire track has been .;hanged to the full
regulation width, and the capacity of the
road for traffic is now equal to any of
its competitors. The line, when in course i John's favorite poet, but he must ba an
of construction, was pushed as far as EngI'ahman, and fond of a pint" of
Tceswater, with the intention of finding "wet. '
a lake outlet at Kincardine, but failing
to obtain bonuses in some of the north-
ern municipalities, the terminus of the
road was made, and still remains at that
point. The T. G. & B. It, is controlled
by Messrs. llendrie, Edmund Osler
and other bitter opponents of the G. T.
It„ and we have every reason to believe
that an effort on the part of Goderich
to divert the line hither would be met
halfway by the controllers of the road.
The above is sufficient to show that
favorable opportunities exist for the 'de
Wiling of increased railway facilities by
Goderich, an 1 it only remains for the
people of the town to take action in the
matter. A public meeting should at
once be called by the Mayor, and the
iron should he struck while it is .hot.
Since the above was written we find
a special despatch to The (lobe from
London saying, that "there4is good au-
thority for stating that a proposition has
been made to transfer to the Credit
Valley the charter of the London .Junc-
tion Railway, giving that company the
right tf way into the city and ground tor
a station. The Credit Valley, it is said,
are ready to covenant that the rod shall
be built and running into the city by
the month of May next. it is under-
stood that a line will in the near future
be built from London to Gederich,
thence connecting by 'boat with the Ca-
nada Pacific Railway and Prince Ar-
thur's Lending for Winnipeg."

Now, wedoe't know how much Jones and
Brown like this kind of thing, but if we
were Mrs. Junes or Mrs. Brown we
would endeavor to put • stop to it The
trouble, however, doesn't all lie with
the newspaper reporter, for sometimes
Jones when travelling with his spouse
registers himself as "J. Junes and lady,"
instead of "J. Jones and wife." We
have oftep noticed this peculiarity on
the part of Jones, and we [oust confess
that the temptation has been upon us
when at dinner at a hotel to take a close
view o(Jonee' "lady," to see if every-
thing was right. If we discovered Mrs.
Jones we were satisfied, but we really
pitied her, for others who didn't know
that she was Jones' wife had their sea-
piciotts aroused just as ours had been,
when Jtanea had neglected to revister
her as his "wife" or u "Mrs. Jones,"
instead. of his "lady." When Jones
places on the hotel register the informa-
tion that he and Mrs. Jones are travel-
ling together we are always satisfied, for
we know he is in good company ; but
when we see him announced as accom-
panied by a "lady," we always wonder
why is Mr. Jones trsvelliug with a
"lady" and paying her great attentions,
when he ought to be home with his wife,
or she ought to be travelling with him
instead of the "lady." Examine the
hotel register, gentle reader, and see for
yourself 'how many iron make fools of
themselves and their wives when travel-
ling, and thus subject the latter to un-
just criticism at the hands of the travel-
ling public. If a man's wife be travel-
ling with him he should not be ashamed
to let the world known of it.

Sts JOHN A. Mactior aLu's friends are 1
crediting that gentleman with a large
sense of fairness, because he state'[ at
the late Tory cuuventieu that he did
not believe Mr. Mowat was peisorially a
bad roan. Cooling after a reteetless and
unscrupulous attack upon the public
character of the Ontario Premier, the
Chieftain's annptitnei;t brings to out
mind the saying of Nero, who having
coni uauded the rounder of his own

Sir John A. Macdonald d! not often
use poetry. .His imagination is so fer-
tile, and many of his statements so mar-
vellous, that ordinary poetry would pall
by contrast. There is, however, on re-
cord a gem in rhyme used by the knight
in a speech in the West, when the in-
creased tax on malt was discussed some
years ago. It is brief, it is vigorous, hut
it is not scholarly. It runs

died suddenly in Winnipeg on Saturday.
The deceased was well-known as a poli-
tician and jurist, and his sonorous voice
and vehement declamation gained for
him the sobriquet of " Big Thunder."
He died in harness, as he was sitting on
the Bench when visited by the fatal
stroke. He had some glaring faults, yet
his geniality, courage and vigor of mind
made many friends for him. His age
was 62 years.
Ar the final revision of the voters' list
of the town of Goderich on Mtnday last,
one of the tricks employed to manufac-
ture Tory votes was brought to light.
The Trust & Loan Company own an un-
occupied tenement on one of the side
streets, and the brother of the Tory can-
didate is agent for the Trust & Loan
Co. The name of one Fred. Marsh was
on the voters' hat as a tenant, but
M the place was unoccupied the Reform-
ers appealed to have the rote struck off.
The agent for the property was plaoed in
the witness -box and positively swore
that the property had been rented to
Marsh for over* year at the rate of $l
per month. Deepite the fact that not
one cent of rent had been paid, and that
the tenement was unoccupied, the agent
tllsimed that the rental was bona Mr.

him objectionable to Pnotwtait then
also. He did not believe there was a
Protestant mother in all Ontario it ho
would wish to have her daughter's mind

'Tis Toronto Telegram is an indepen-
dent paper which generally runs with
the crowd. It is a strung N. P. organ,
but has rather a contempt fur the weak
and uncertain conduct of the Ontario
Tories. Its opinion of the present con-
dition of affairs is summed up u follows :
"The Mowat Ministry does not appear
to be showing any fright at the terrible
attacks daily made upon it by the chief
Conservative organ. Possibly it con-
cludes that these attacks are not nearly
as terrible as the organ imagines them to
be. One thing appears plain, and that
is that the organ is firing away all its
ammunition before the enemy is in eight.
The general elections cannot come on
for six months yet, and by the time the
write are ready the Nail will have nothing
left but blank cartridge or old charges
that have already been exploded. Even
now, people are beginning to get sick of
hearing it repeat, parrot -like, day after
day, that Mowat must go." '
Tits Orange Sentinel throws off Its,in-
dependent mask and calls upon every
brother, to "work tooth and nail to se-
cure the return of every Orangeman
"who is nominated as a candidate for the
"Ontario Legiatature." It is explicitly
stated that the object is "to redeem On-
tario and its Protestant population
"from the incubus of political Romish,
"domination."
Drluxo the past few years it
unoommon sight to see a man walking
off with the entire library of the Kincar-
dine High School under his arm. This
feat, it would seem,rwas not a difficult
one, as the "library" consisted of Wor-
cester's Unabridged Dictionary l This
reminds us of the story of the old lady
who tooka dictionary out of a public li-
brary, and upon returning it remarked
that the stories hadn't any plot, and

TBE name of Benedict Arnold is held
in execration by the people of the United
States, because in the struggle for inde-
pendence and just government he be-
trayed his country to the enemy. And
what should we think of Iden who a
year ago voted for Ontario's rights and
Ontario's soil, yet now crouch abjectly
before the oppressors, and eoek to deliv-
er the Province into the hands of her
enemies ? But Arnold's treachery did
not keep a young nation crippled, and
Meredith's baseness will result only in
his own humiliation.
AN eastern contemporary puts the
(ase very nicely when it remarks : "Care
should be taken by the politicians of On-
tario to see that no injustice is done to
Quebec in the matter of the Boundary
award. Quebec is a poor, weak, trust-
ing, shrinking little thing, and is too
backward and modest to ask for any-
thing for itself. It therefore becomes
the duty of the politicians of Ontario to
join hands in seeing that Quebec is not
despoiled or that any injustice is done to
it. Indeed, judging from the opinions
of some of the Ontario journals it would
seem as if this was what Ontario's re-
presentatives were elected for -not to
look after the interests of Ontario, but
to look after the interests of Quebec."
Write Hon. Alex. Mackenzie left
Lambton to wrest East York from the
Tories, his enemies taunted him with
being afraid to face the music in his old
oonatituency, u his former supporters
had gone- back on him. Mr. Macken-
zie replied at the time, saying that he
felt confident that Lambton would prove
true to Liberal principles. And so she
did, and her record at the Iaat election
was a grand one. Some idea of the
esteem in which Mr Mackenzie is still
held them ean be had when we state
that a few days ago a deputation of the
leading Reformers of L►mbton waited
on their former representative. and
presented him with an address and
1115,600 in ash. Mr. Mackenzie also

having unhorsed .one of the noisiest
champions of the Tory party, ►rad
hrnteght Kass York into line again

The Winnipeg Tines says :-
"Though repeatedly challenged to do so.
'foe OLOBE has not yet explained why it con-
demns Sir Leonard Tills for having a Sur-
plus and applauds Mr Wood for the same
oppression of the working man.' The reason
why THS Glow has not explained is simply
because the inconsistency is too glaring to ad-
mit of any defence."
The Times is mietakeu. We have made
the explanation asked for. We condemn
Sir Leonard Tilley fur having a surplus
because it is the result of unnecssary and
oppressive taxation imposed for the ben-
efit of a small class of the community.
The sources of Ontario's revenue are
fly the sales of Crown lands. timber
limits, etc , which simply realize the
natural wealth of the country, but main-
ly the subsidy of eighty cents per head
of the population from the Dominion
Government. As the amount of this
subsidy is fixed by the British North
America Act, it is beyond the scope
either of Dominion or Ontario legisla-
tion to alter it. It is not increased by
the tariff. nor would it be decreased by
free trade. The Ontario Government,
therefore, may fairly maintain a surplus
after providing for the expenditure on
needed public institutions and improve-
ments which lighten the burden -of mu-
nicipal taxation. Does the Tinea,' see
the difference in the twocases i -[Globe.
The Rarest Tery Convention.
Speaking of the Toronto Convention,
the Bobcageon Independent says : "The
convention did not even allege that the
Government of Mr. Mowat was a bad
one ; all it urged was that it was not
Conservative, and thereforetought not to
be allowed to exist. This open and un-
disguised introduction of party politics
into our provincial institutions will cer-
tainly not meet with favor from the
general pu,pulation of the province. It
is only that section of the Tory party
known as Pig -heads that will vote for
ousting a government, admitted to be
pure, and good, and efficient, on the
ground that it is not identified with
Dominica Toryism." The Iadepenlleiit
also conies to this conclusion. "The
elections, come when they may, will not
materially change the existing retktions
between Mr. Mowat and the people, and
though we have every respect for Mr.
Meredith, we cannot give him the smal-
lest hope or encouragement as to the con-
vention of Wednesday bringing him any
nearer to the Provincial Premiership."

New York, Oct. 10. -While Four-

with shopper', a demented Frenchman
ran amuck through the thoroughfare,
and with a pair of sharp -pointed a n-
t€r's compasses stabbed right and left,
his victims being wcnun. The wife of
a ,xolicenhan who patrolled the block was
one of them. and when her husband ar-
rested the lunatic he did not know that
the compasses we -'e dripping with his
wife's blood. The lunatic was Earnest
Dubaurgne, a half idiotic painter, whose
antics for years wade him a conspicuous
character. The victims were more or
less severely injured. Their names are:
-Kra Stolzenbetg, slightly. wounded in
the shoulders ; Louise Checker, stabbed
in the back, slightly ; Miss M. L. King,
stabbed in the hip and abdomen. severe-
ly hurt ; Pauline FFedler, stabbed in the
the breast, not seriously ; Mrs. Thomas
Worth, stabbed in the side, dangerously;
Mary Hanley, the policeman's wife, two
stab wounds in the breast, danger.us-
perhaps fatal. The victims were assisted
to their ho•.ies. The lunatic's clothing
was spattered with blood. He said he
felt dizzy, and admitted he had been
drinking. He had two hats. He said
he stabbed the women he. ause some man
threatened his life. The prisoner. with
his father, wandered for years through
the city bearing painted signs, demand-
ing justice from the California authori-
ties h r some wrong. The father died in
February last.
On Saturday afternoon a three-year-
old daughter of John Ii. Murphy, of 24f
Dundas -street, London, fell from a sec-
ond storey window to the awning, and
thence to the street. Her fathe't, who
was standing in the shop door at the

A tlsestlen at Law.
