The Exeter Advocate, 1895-1-3, Page 4• THE extter Abrovot SANDEH,S do DYER, Prop. JAN, 3rd‘ 1895, HPERIAL JIND OQIJOYI411 It iS well, when certain so-callea re- ligious teachers are preaching annexa tion tendencies, and even going ea far as to eliminate from their hymnals the aistoric Naar:null Anthem,—to iind such distinguished men as Lord Bras sey,who so lately visited Canada, stand- ing up and publicly advoeating in the •capital of the Empire such topics as Impoeial unity aud colonial represent - salon in the House of Lords. Certain fy it N a great relief to pass from the narrow-minded crotehets of local or ecclesiastical prejudiee, to the large hearted utterauces of men cf broad and capacious intellects—men who eau leave the valley of mere local surround hags, and escend the mountain of high er thought where they can obtain a panoramic viewof great public ques- tions. According to recent exchanges- welearn that Lord Brassey among oth er things made the assertion that "the leading men.in Canada are exceeding- ly anxious that a fast mail service should be established between Canada and Great Britain." This is one of the practical results of the great Interco 'onkel Conference held in Ottawa last June—and recently recommended to the Parliament of England in Lord Jersey's report. •Aud connected with this move, is the no less important pro pool for a submarine cable to connect 'Vancouver, B. C., with the Australian CoIenies. Another significant utter- ance made by Lord Brassey was that of Colonial representation in the Up- per Chamber of the British Parliament. it has been said, "the world moves"— the inamortal Galileo at the risk of his life ventured that assertion, which has now become a proverb—and certainly we in Canada have reason proudly to assert that "the world does move," and that we are moving along with it. When we,look back for a quarter of a century only, and mark the rapid strides that this Dominion has under- gone in tae greater facilities for loco- motion, in the wider extention of trade and commerce, and in the efforts (pres- ent and prospective) that are being put forth in the direction of Colonial and Imperial unity,—one is amazed at the progress already made; and it looks as though the day, was not far distant when the tie which now unites us to the Motherland will be cemented in closer bonds, and when the Anglo- Saxon race composing one Imperial Dominion will yet prove to be the ar- biter of the world. ... to every loyal Catiadie.e. the Memory1 muE No.NT EINATIONS Of our beloved Sovereign—Who, as She advances in years, becomes more seen- pathetie towards her loyal subjects and. uot less o to those in her distant oloin ial possessions. We need hardly re- mind oar readers that • the Closing oh sequies to -day at Halifax, N. Ss, will be of the mostimposing character --shared in not only by the twat authorities, civil, naval, and military,—but partici pated in by His Excellency the Gover- nor General and. the members of Cabi- net, by several Lieutenant Governors of the Provinces, by various societies, said by the leading officials of every religious body (Protestant and Catholic) throughout the Dominion. It speaks well for the high culture and religious toleration of all classes of the commute icy, that the highest respect and well merited honors have been accorded to the honored dead-- irrespeetive of class, creed, or nationali.y. THE CLOSING OBSEQUIES. Never, perhaps, in the history of a young nation has there been more un- iversal sympathy extended, from Her Majesty the Queen down to the humb- lest person in thy Empire, than in; the ease of the sudden and lamented de mise of our tate Premier. From the moment that the tregie scene occurred in Windsor Castle down to the closing obsequies observed this week in his na Sive city, Halifax, N. S., the honor and respect showa to the late Sir John Thompson, C. M. G., have been little shortest those accorded to royality it self. We do not countenance the cult of hero-worship, and there is a possibil- ity of carrying to a superstitious ex treme honors for the dead; but in the present instance, the circumstances at- tending the sudden off-takiug of Can- ada's Prime Minister were such as to give it a National, if not an Imperial uterest. Sir John Thompson was a de ;voted loyelist—an ardent admirer of British institutions—his eareer was so brilliant for one who had risen from humble life—he had attained the high- est. National honors at the cotnparative- ly early age of fifty years—and just a few moments after being sworn in as one of Her Majesty's Privy Councillors, he was struck down by the hand of the remorseless Reaper, at almost the foot of the throne that it was little wee- der that a thrill of sympathy vibrated throughout the British Empire, from the palace itt Windsor Castle to the humblest cottage in his native lead. We understand that not only was the tendereet serapathy evinced by Her Majesty the Queen—to such it degree as will make her name- forever revered and beloved throughout the Dominion —but alt the eXpenses attending the ensba.lining of the late Premier's body, and its terteeyalice to Portsmouth, Eng., by special trete, to be sent in II. Blenheim acroSs the Atlantic, have •'been borne by royalty, Such a mark of kigh appreelation,cif oue wile Served his nutty end the Empire too wall awl , 1,thfUlly for Ida own interests, will 01 soon be forgottea and.

Treble and John Taylor forCouncillors. The election of T. B. Carling for Depu ty Reeve by acclamation, was most enthusiastically received by every one present. The nominations closed at 980, after which the candidates were called to the platform in order of clonal: nation to address the meeting. Mr. Bawden as Reeve of the village was well pleased with the management of school affairs both financially and otherwise. Ile bestowed much credit ou Constable Creech for having per formed his various duties satisfaetorily The electric lights come in for a share of criticism bus he was pleased to state that the lights were very satisfactory at present. He had done his best to promote the sanitary coudition of the village. The °Iseult's,. of new drains, repairing sidewalks, ''bridges, culverts etc., had all received his personal at- tention. He had tried to do his duty as chief executor ,and was willing and ready to take the helm for another year if it is their wish at the polls next elouday. Mr. McCallum commended the road commissioner for his good work during the past year and Mr. Howard for the efficient' electric light system. He most severely criticased Reeve Bawden for not doing his duty as a public offieer, charging him with doing the village more harm than good, and holding him responsible for cutting down the clerk's salary and not allowina''the working man .a better wage. He thought the loss of Poor House location was due to negligence of the reeve He is in the field for the Reeveship of 1895 and has promised to do his duty If elected. .Mr. Bissett in a few well ehosen words said that he had been a faithful servant for the town for the past fifteen years and felt justi- tied in asking for the honor of deputy - reeve for 1895, and just because he wanted it after ail those years, it looked as. thou,gh the whole (?) town wanted it. Mr. Bissett has tendered his resig•- nation, leaving a good record. Mr, J3ubier based his good stewardship for the past year in the fact that he had saved the yillage many dollars on the electric light contract, and had also done much toward lowerieg the village taxes He told his ausiieuce that with his good record he felt justified in ask- ing for the honor ef Reeve for the eora- ing: year, and if elected would continue to work for low taxation and best in- terests of the village at lenge. Mr. T B. Carlieg state,d that the "much talked of man" was oftimes the most popular man whether he be lawyer, doctor, preacher or deputy -reeve and started out to make himself the "much talked of man" and before the meeting was closed "Tom" was the "popular man" and deputy -reeve as well. His address was a good one making' criti- cisiins without personalities, giving credit to whim credit was due and placed a creditable record of his • own stewardship before the audience. He claimed that the water works systeni, and the doe'to tae system, in which he P2 was oneeof the prime movers, had been a sa,ving to the village from 18 to 14 percent. on the- money invested. Mr. Carling's address was well delivered and with more practiee his oratory will in time place hire at the height of his ambition. We heartily cOugratu- late him on his election as deputy -reeve by acclamation Say T. B. if the "much talked of man" is the "priest - popular man " how does your assertion lit Reeve iawdeu? Mr, Spackman's nomination was a surprise to him, In speaking of the House of Refuge, be Commended Reeve Bawden's action re- garding the same and congratulated our citizens that it was located at Clin- tou. He warned the ratepayers not CO agitete for a High Sehool as taxa- tion vvould be mach higher than now, The araccful manlier in which he re- signed deputy-reeveehip itt favor of Carling wag received with ap pleuse although his ehanees Were good if he had deeided to tontest the elec WM.

TIM eouncil of 1994 has been it good outa all had tried to do their duty. He touched on re- ceipts and expenditures, counnendiaig the money that had been laid eut ou roads, bridges, water supply, fire pro tection and the electric light. He hoped that he had so performed his duty as to be justified in asking to he elected for 1895, Mr. Harding was not going to canvas for 'votes He said le wee a woreing man, not a busi ness man and that if elected he would be the working man's friend. Mr. Snell if elected said he would work for the best toterest of the town. Mr. Fit- ton asked the ratepapers whether they preferred the present system of elect ing the School Board by open oallot, or by placing candidates before .he people in the same way as the municipal elec- tion. The muuicipal system was fav- ored. Dr. Lutz requested the audience on behalf of Mr. Heston (who was ill) to attend the anqual school board meet- ing Tuesday night. Mr. Howard made a short address and was followed by John Peart Esceechairman of the Board of Health committee. He paid a very high compliment to constable Creech for assisting him in his sauita,ry in spection duties. He thought that his duties were worthy of reward, where upon the audience voted him a hearty vote of thanks aud. a new hat. This concluded the speaking excepting a little crossairing between several of the old board.

He was working as us- ual till about a week before his death. when he complained of not feeling, well but his case e as not supposed to be so critical till the day before his death, when he was taken violently sick, and all that medical skill could do seemed to be of no avail, and death ended hil, sufferings CM Thursday noon, 13th inst James was an industrious, intelligent young man, and was respected by all with whom he made his acquaintance, The bereaved family have • the sym• athy of the coninaunity in their hour of sorrow.

THE IILE\HEL ARRIVES Sir John Thompson's Body Brought Home to Canada. THOUSANDS MEET THE R E AIMS Tho Warship Arrives at Port in a Drench- ing Rainstorm—The Ilindy Conveyed to the Legislative COMICil Chamber —It Will Not lie Exposed Remake, N. S., Jan. 2.—H, M. IL Blen- heim with the Premier's body arrived at the mouth of the harbor yesterday in a rain storm and ran almost opposite York redoubt before the first minute gun an- nounced her approach to the thousands who had lined the waterfront where they had been standing under a steady torrent Of rain 'from early morning. As she steamed up the harbor Fort York, lVfacnab and Georgelsin turn saluted her with min- ute gem. The first gun was fired at eight minutes after eleven and five minutes later ten thousand people filled every available spot of standing room on the wharves and roofs of the shores along the harbor frout where they patiently watched her approach, She came to anchor off the gun Wharf at fourteen minutes to twelve, On her foremast at half mastshe flew the Canadian Jack, and the white ensign was hauled half way down the main peak. The Dominion euStOMs steamer Argus with Louis Costa of the Public Works De- partment, Superintendent of the funeral. Sir John Thompson's two sons and repre- sentatives of the Dominion Government and the Imperial Government, steamer Lily, with Colonel North, chief staff officer of the,garrison, who takes charge of the military funeral and Rev. Dr. Murphy-, secretary to Archbishop O'Brien, and Father Moriarity of SI. Marys Cathredal, ran up alongside the Blenheim and trans- ferred their passengers. After dinner the croWds congregated in the vicinity of the gun wharf and waited for the coffin. The ministers of the crown, Sir Frank Smith, Sir C. H. Tupper and Hon. Messrs. Curran, Daly and Angers and the two sons of the deceased Premier remained on board the Blenheim. At 2 o'clock part of the afterdeck of the war- ship was removed and the coffin gently hoisted on the deck, passed oyer the side and lowered on board the steamer Lily. The coffin was covered with a Canadian flag draped with crape and bore the wreath of laurels placed on the coffin by the Queen and SirMackenzie Bowell's wreath. On board the warship and on the steamer the coffin was handled by squads of blue- jackets and on the Lily the coffin vras placecl under a tarpaulin in the bow. While the coffin was being lowered on the Lily the band of the warship played the "Dead March in Saul" and the ship's guns belched forth fifteen mournful salutes. The coffin was taken from the Lily by eight sergeants of the Royal Engineers and placed upon a brim carriage with postil- lions of four black charges. Two hundred men from the,King's Regiment formed a guard of honor to the right and left of the corpse and the funeral precession, headed by the band of the King's Regiment and followed by all the military and militia dignitaries, Chief Paul and a delegation of braves of the Micmac tribe of Indians, procebded along Water street through Granville street to the Parliament build- ings where the body is now lying in state in the Legislative Council charnar. All along the line of procession despite the tremendous rain storm the streets were lined ten and twelve feet deep with a rubber -coated crowd of anxious sight- seers. Lady Thompson and daughters who are the guests of her uncle, John Pugh, Esq., Pleasant street, saw the Blenheim coming up the harbor from the window of Lady Thompson's apartments. It was decided not to opeu the casket for public view, discoloration having taken place. The doctors are of tete opinion that Sir John Thompson's death was directly ane to the bursting of it blood -vessel in the brain whicli, if so, would cause the dis- coloration as at preSent. After the body of the late Premier had been placed in the Legislative Council Chamber the lid of the outer casket was removed in the presence of the relations for the purpose of identification. The lid was then replaced anti fastened and the casket will remain closed. Senator San- ford soon after returned to the Blenheim, where he will remain the guest of Captain Poe. Every train to the city brings a quota for the funeral and already the leading hotels are all filled. By to -morrow the number of visitors will be enormous. Pro vision is being made to accommodate the Ministers at private houses..
