THURSDAY, OCT. 9th, 1890,
THE MINISTRY AND THE FAD,
The Premier; the Ministers of Justice
Finance and Agriculture have each
spoken on the McKinley Bill in the last
few weeks, and spoken with no uncer-
tain sound, They use words that
show the true Canadian spirit, and
words that find an echo from the. At-
lantic to the Pacific. We are in favor
of reciprocity with the United States
or any other country, but the recipros-
ity must be in accordance with our
country's dignity and Canadian inter-
est. They say the Hon. Mr. Mowat
says• (and he never spoke truer words)
the United States is a hostile country.
To injure the Dolniuiou they will make
a national sacrifice, Au important
class appeal to their congress in vain,
"We shall be ruined" they protest,
"Never mind, Canada will be injured"
is the answer. Now look at the position
of the Goyernment at Ottawa. We are
ready for a treaty of reciprocity, they
proclaim. We have always been ready
for such a treaty; but a treaty 'of sur-
render we are not ready for. We have
made • a standing offer taking that
position. And we take that stand in
spite of this fact that the United States.
Government have never declared on
what terms they wish to tteai with. `us.
The offer from.. Ottawa remains; al.
though from the other side. of the line
comes daily proof from politicians,,peers
and legislature, that a treaty can be
obtained on. terms implying that Can-
ada was a country commercially con-
quered and on no other. In any other
way the United States will grant no
treaty. Now while some newspapers
in the Reform party advocate a com-
plete Canadian .surrender of trade to
. the United States all the leaders in the
party have not so declared themselves,
but, this is plain, if there is a fair
chance of carrying the yote of the
farmers by the unrestricted reciprocity
eery the whole, Opposition are ready to
• be eomm:ttrd to that policy,. Opposed
to- ,this. staatis the Goyernment of Sir
John Macao:laird. Thus they speak
"We have tried and failed to increase
our trade relations with the United
States. We believe from past experi-
ence that no terms • can be obtained
from that Government except, terms
that aro unfair and shamefully dis-
honorable. As true Canadians we ask
for terms that are fair and honorable,
or none. And more than that, we shall
maintain at whatever cost our com-
plete independence of the United States,
the sell -respect that is a British birth-
right and by the hope of our great
•future hand down unsullied Canadian
boner. There can be no doubt which
party represents the heart of the
Dominion and which party shall be
called by the Canadian people to 'hold
the reins of rule.
to the sensible and praetiealelectorate,
what a spectaele our Liberal friends
would have presented! No policy, no
hope, no public sympathy, no following
=they would have been forcedtoadopt
the "you're another" tactics, and loot:
to Mercier at one end and Mowat at
the other, for any consolation left in
the compassion larder of those redoubt-
able champions of Liberal principles;
one, with a bandit programme; the
other, with nopolicy, save and except
to remain in office and boss the Bailiffs
and Woodrant;ers and License Inspect-
orst However, all's well that ends well
—and we congratulate the party which
breeds "burning issues" with rabbit -
like fecundity, upon' their extremely
narrow escape from total annihilation'
GENOROUS 7'0 TNF, LIBERALS.
The "Liberals" throughout the Do-
minion, must have drawn a full breath
on the 5th inst., after reading the, an
nouneement made by Sir John Alae-
douald, that it would be a year, per-
haps a year and a half, before they
had to submit to a crushing defeat a-
gain. They were on the wait; in: fact
upon the ragged edge; fairly sitting
upon the valves with the steam uncom-
fortably close to them! But there was
sunshine in the atmosphere, sunshine
in their hearts, sunshine everywhere,
for the belated Commercial 'Unionists
and Unrestricted Reciprocity hunters,
towards whom exccutive clemency has
been extended. A respite, .surely,. for
a party whose policy, or rather want
of it, never soared higher than vice-
regal wine glasses and soiled table
linen; whose highest flights of oratory

Around About Us,
Gonnarali, Ont, Oct. 3rd,—The know-
ledge of the fact that the provisions of
the McKinley Bill will go into effect on
and after the 6th inst., has caused a
rush in the export trade at this port
and the office of the American Consul
has been kept busy by shippers who
are anxious to get across the line be-
fore the day of increased duty comes.
The prevailing opinion in this section
isthat a little injury will be done to.
our export to the States, but that this
year exporters will not be struck so
severely as they would have been had
there been better grain crops in the
United States and poorer crops in Ont-
tario. Despite this fact, however, the
general opinion is' that trade will be
materially affected during the coming
season by the passae of the bill.
The new Methodist church at Mr.
Aiken's Corner, Huron road, 'Hibbert,
was opened under most favorable aus-
pices on Sunday, 26th ult. In the
morning and evening Rev. James Liv-
ingstone. of ,Listowel, preached two
very good sermons, and Rev. Mr. Tully
conducted the afternoon service, his
discourse being unusually able and
full•of practical truths. Monday even-
ing a dinner was served, after which
short but interesting speeches were de
livered by Messrs. I. Hord, Nethercott
and Rev, Messrs, Nugent and Living-
stone, thechair being filled by Rev Mn
Lake. Bethel choir furnished the mu-
sic. The collection on Sunday amout-
ed to°$44; and the proceeds of the tea
to $G9, but as the erection of the church
cost $800, there was a large deficiency,
but Mr. Flagg went to work and got
up a subscription which completely
wiped off the debt.
Shortly before cline o'clock Sunday
morning the barns of Mr. Jas. Pollock
8th con. Morris, was discovered to be
on fire. The fire seemed to have start-
ed on the top of the mow as when first'
discovered the whole top of the barn
was ignited. The barn was Lull of the
season's crops and grain, and every;
thing was lost with the exceptionof a
few implements. A new top buggy
was consumed. All the outbuildings

sides the main building, were swept to
the ground. Insurance $1,500. Cause
incendiarism. --On Monday night a-
bout 10 o'clock the barn on . the Blaoth
Estate to the west of the village was
discovered to be on fire. The fire orig
inated in the north side of the barn and
as the building contained hay and
other crops it was soon a mass of flam-
es. The Ire was. the work of anincen-
dry, who justly deserves life imprison-
ment, this being two buildings burned
on the above premises inside of a year.
On Monday evening of last week a
young lad of Mitchell, nineteen years
of age. was considerably under the in
fluence of' liquor. He ran into Mr.
Coppin's livery stable in search of a
companion, and was bound to go into
the stable loft with a light, but Mr.
Coppin very properlyrefused him any
such privilege, when the lad became
unruly and used most blasphemous
language. Mr. Coppin tried to get him
out, and slapped him in the face. The
drunken youth then drew a knife and
threatened to put it into the bowels of
the-first'man who would approach him.
The constable was sent for and the un-
ruly youth was soon in the lock -tip
where he was allowed to slumber until
morning. At nine o'clock he appeared
before magistrate Flagg on a charge bf.
being drunk and disorderly. " He owned
up to the offence and received a lecture
from Mr. Flagg which should • do him
good. A fine of $5.00 and $4.00 costs
was imposed or 30 days in jail with
hard labor,
A most lamentable accident happen-
ed at Clinton Fair duriug'the running
of the first test in the Hose Reel race.
The Clinton Fire Company was near
the finish of its 300' yards, when John
Miller; who vias on the tongue of the
cart, seethed to give out, the cart wheel
struck him a ter'rifTic blow in the ribs,
knocking him in front of it and then
passing over his chest. He was in-
stantly picked up, and being insensible

TERRIFIC OAS ExPDoSION.--Shortly
after 12 o'clock onTnesday of last week
thesound of an explosion was heard at
the gas works, Listowel, and flames
were seen issuing from :rents made
through the iron roof of the making'
room. The maker, Mr, Thomas Male,
was in the room , at the time and was
badly burned, He had noticed a leak
of gas and had gone into the room just
before the explosion, The doors were
closed by the pressure, and Mr. Male
sprang through an open window and
rolled himself on. the grass to smother
his burning clothes, He was badly
burned about his hands and arms, and
along his back and about his face and
head. He did not, however, loose con-
sciousness and Says he is not burred
internally: The nfeciieal men think his
burns will not endanger his life. The
cause of the accident was at first a
mystery, as no part of the apparatus
appeared to be out of order, but it was
easily understood when Mr.. Male ex-
plained that he had removed the water
seal from the purifier and'had forgotten
to replace it, The gas.from the retort
as well as from the holder, escaped.
from the room into the furnace room.
Mr. Male seized a pail of water and
ran to fill the purifier:. The gas, how
ever, reached the furnace and exploded
with terrific force. It had been escap-
ing until it became with ,tbe ,i„r,dihigh-
ly explosive compound, whleh appar-
ently reached the proper compound for
explosion just after the nraker entered
the room. The principle force of the
explosion was upwards, It wrenched
the brick chimneys, lifted the roof a
foot from the brick wall and tore off
parts of the iron shingles. The machin-
ery was. not damaged. It is almost.
wonderful that Mr. Male was not killed
on the spot. The force of: the concussion
lifted a wooden lean-to from one end of
the building. The flames scerched but
did not fire the wood work,and were
put out by turning' off the . gas from
the holder, which was, however, almost
emptied. The fire ball rang and aline
of hose vas laid from 'the hydrant and
did, good work.
