The Goderich Stars says :—After many months of dilly-dallying with eager applicants, the Ontario Govern- ment has at last made an appointment" tui the registrarship of this county. The Ricky mea is none other than Alex, i.libsoil, the well known ex -reeve and sx-warden, of Wroxeter, brotherof the yl;. A. for East Ruron,Thomas Gibson, 'The appointment will give great satis• laetion--that is, to the Gibson brothers --but the news was not received with any enthusiasm in Grit circles here, The Signal has for months stormed .against the member for the East taking She office for himself, as was one time Bxpected, but one contemporary's in fluence does not seem to have reached "Brother Sandy." What adds to the curtain of gloom and depression up this 'ay is the additional news that a son ei the redoubtable Bernard O'Connell, ra deKillop, will be deputy registrar, aad the hopes and aspirations of those who were looking for this post are, too r:ow broken and shattered, At all of ry 3ich the Tories can well afford to smile. S'aau's Absurd Bimetallic Theories By our own Correspondent While Mr. Bryan was passing through r:tint;ton, ley., he made one of his rear alatform ea.teches. This was the home of Henry Clay, who would have been a t=und money leader if lee were now :lying, Mr, Clay was a great corn romiser, and he would probably have offered one of his favorite devices now --viz: that the ratio should. be 32 to 1 nsteaid of 16 to 1, so that the two met. ,:b; would circulate concurrently whieh was Clay's idea of bimetallism. It is :leadless for me to say that this is not Bryan, Altgeld et al ideas of bimetallism in Bryan's Lexington speech he was Milt talion, of bimetallisrn at 16 to 1. When this romancier talks like this he either faucies he has fools and idiots for an audience or he does not know )what be is talking about, Assuming the latter, which is most Iikely, he mise takes alternates monometallism for bi metallism. Bimetallism means the con. „arrent circulation of two metals on a eommereial ratio. That was what Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson .ought to establish, and Jackson and Beutou 40 years later. Bryan seems not to know there cannot be any such thing as bimetallism in eireulation.. that is plot concurrent. If he does know it, Then he is concealing the truth The taro metals must be of equal commer Zia? value to circulate together. If ,lief refuse to circulate together then ^not be bimetallic in their operations in currency. This is one of the finan- ,.ial axioms which Bryan does not seem to have learned. A nation can coin fullers out of two eeetals with no regard .v their iutriusie u, exchangeable value and it can invest the Cheaper or ibfer- ior one with as much legal value in -)eying debts as the more valuable one. ;But that is not bimetallism except for raying debts, and practically not e} en then, as no one would use both metals .for the same purpose, For purposes of debt -paying two dollars -of inequal val sae never circulate together. They be- eome monometallism. The gold mono- metallism goes where its value is recog- mi.ted, while the silver monometallism remains circulating at 50 cents on the dollar and fluctuating in value ever : eereafter as long as the same conditions exist. Bryan therefore either has made nn absurd and ridiculous error or he has .a;ade a wilful and malicious misstate - meet in confounding alternate mono 'etallism with actual bimetallism, 'The system which be advocates is alter- nate metallism—first, try 50.cent dol- lars until 371i- grains of silver become intrinsically worth more than 281/5 grains of gold. Then the silver dollar -will retire from circulation, jest as it did from 1884 to 1873, and gold will alternate into its place for a certain period. We have had bimetallism since 1878 by upholding the light weight sil- ver dollar artificially. The better way would be to double its weight, Then we should have concurrent metallism. What Bryananisadvocating is alternate monometallism. He has not once ad- vocated concurrent metallism as that would require halving the weight of the gold dollar or doweling the weight of the silver dollar. When Bran there- fore Bryaa abbles abortbimetallism at 16 to 1 it shows that lee does not know the n concurrent and al i7ifferencebetwee o Visna the former constitu- &ernate meta , . • ting bimetallisrn and the latter mono- metallism. But what right has a man who does not know the foundation ;principles of finance to go around the country posing on the rear platform of a railroad car as a past master of sci- ence? Or why should sensible people fool away their ante listening to him? We are at a loss. to know. Can any one answer? November 3rd, 1896, will give the answer; when Bryan et al. 'i>ill be figuring' on their losses of good ;money, not even getting repudiated coney in return, but an empty glory of being placed to slumber by the in- ' ielligent electorate of the union. Very truly Yours WM. H. SAI DERSI ,Chicago, Sept. 21st; 1896, Merit in medicine means the power cure, The great cures by good's rsaparilla prove its unequalled merit. Registration Laws. Why are the registration laws so stringent now as compared with former years, partieularly those relating to deaths? It is in consequence of a non conformity to the requirements of the statues heretofore by parties whose duties were to make returns under certain conditions, which they failed to do. The law was such that had inter- ested parties complied and made the required returns the whole work would have been easy, and no person materi- ally discommended. Notwithstandiug the frequent warnings of the press and other means to wake up interested parties to a sense of duty, the. require- ments of the law were very imperfectly carried out, hence the ueeessity of more stringent measure. The requirements of the registration Act would be value- less if not strictly enforced, whidh the government, by the legislation of the present year, seem determined :to do. Many now complain of the strictness of the present Act, but the fault lies at their owu doors, Still many funerals take place without the necessary permit oraafter returns. Just let me use a Scrip- ture phrase, " be sure your sins will find you out." .A violation of the ro giistration Act may be entered dwithia two years and the Government is bound to push matters and the.Gevern ment haver the means of knowing the delinquents and bri.uging them to time. C, PRouTF,, D. Registarr. Born With Three Eyes. A phenomenon not often met with in anatomical science has been investigat- ed by the Tilsooburg Observer. Fourteen months ago a little son was born to Mr. and leers. John M. Bal?, resi- dents in the vicinity of Kingslake, Houghton township. This was not the first child, but it is safe to say even more interest surrounded the arrival of the little stranger than was manifested at the coining of the first born, far the child was equipped with more than the usual facilities for seeing' the new world into which he had come, Besides a pair of everyday ordinary eyes such as are common to all of us, a third eye was vouchsafed the little fellow, situat- ed in the spine at the waist line, and provided with eyelid and eyebrow ex- actly like the two in his head. Little Vernon, as he is'named, however, did not have much enjoyment out of his surplus sight. The customs of this civilized land demand an amount of clothes which effectually prevent such a gift as a third eye situated in the body from being anything more than a nuisance. A bandage had to be kept around the waist at all times in order to keep the tender eyeball from being irritated by his garments for it seemed to have just as sensitive optical nerves as other eyes Whether the child could see anything with the organ is not decidedly known,' he, being to young to . give any reliable signs of such an ability. Medical advice was asked, and it was decided that when Vernon was older the eye should be taken out, as under the circumstances, it was nothing but an affliction. This intention was fated to be frustrated. for when the little fellow was just old enough to pull himself up his feet he fell on the rocker of his cradle striking his back in such a manner that the ball of the eye burst. Poulticing was resorted to and the optic was entirely drawn out thereby. The scar which remains, however, has not wholly heal ed and a•glance at it shows just such a cavity and shrunken eyelid as would apt to exist after an eye had been re- moved in that way, The eyebrow also remains, which is another proof, and the fact that many people saw the eye before it was injured leaves no reason for any incredulous person to longer doubt. The child has suffered a great deal during this experience, When grown. up he will enjoy a distinction which no one else in this part of the world at least, can boast of—that of having been born with three eyes. vas FASHION JOURNALS CALL AT TERTIOR TO BROWN SHADES. You Get the Best Colors From Diamond Dyes. The fashion journals are agreed that the best shades of Browns will be in favor, as Fall colors this year, Thousands of women are not in a position financially to purchase new dresses from season to season, and so have to content themselves with very cheap materials that rarely come in the new shades, or wear their old costumes. For the benefit of women generally, it may be stated that last season's dresses can, with little work or trouble, be transformed into stylish, costumes for Autumn wear. The first great essencial is to get the right color. This part of the work can be done with the never -failing' and re- liable Diamond Dyes, which produce the richest and newest Browns, such as Seal Brown, Milan Brown, Red Brown, Olive Brown, and Amber Brown. No trouble to have a dressequal to new, if you use the Diamond Dyes. Do not experiment with the common imi- tation dyes that some dealers sell. The Diamond Dyes give the: best colors, and they cost no more than the poor and deceptive dyes sold for the sake of large profits. Ask for the" Diamond," refuse all others, 'When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorrs.. Men she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.

This Court was opened on 'Monday, last, Mr. Justice Robertson presidium. The civil docket had only one case, and the criminal list three. John Farley,. Q. C. of St. Thomas, appeared to con duct the latter. The following' were swore in as the GEAND JURY Diggory Brawn, Exeter; Robt, Black Galvin Davidson, Turnberry ; i�'illlam Doig, llensall; John Donaghy, Ford- wicha Robt, Elgie, Tuekersmith;. Amos Fisher, Colborne; John Hovey, Howick; Geo. A. Jackson, Egmondville; Godfrey Madiger, Charles Schumacicer, Hay; R. W. McKenzie, Goderich; David O'Brien, Stephen. Mr. McKenzie was chosen as foreman. His Lordship addressed the jury at great length, dealing exhaustively with the criminal charges, and explain- ing some recent changes, in the law as to grand and petty jurors; also .con- gratulating the county on the ereetion of a house of refuge. THE ONLY CIVIL CASE WAS Fdighoffer vs: Clarke, an action of seduction. Judgment for $500 and costs, to be in full of all demands by the plaintiff or his daughter against the defendant, and the plaintiff is to indemnify the dofendent against sup.; port and maintenance, past and future of the infant child of Barbara Edighof- fer• J, M. Best for plaintiff; J. T. Gar - row, Q, C., for defendent. TliE CRIMINAL CASES The Queen vs. Anne Dellen, charge of perjury, took a day and a half to complete. Prisoner, a resident of tbe village of Hensall, had a piauo on which a balance of the payments was due,and Bailiff John Gill, of Exeter, went to her house, seized and took the instrument away. Gill swore. he showed and read the warraut of seizure, and this was partly confirmed by a constable named Moore he had with him. Mrs, Delion and her daughter; with two girls in her employ, swore Gill showed no authority and gave no explanations, but took the instrument against the protest of prise, ner. She consulted Mr: L. Id. Dickson, solicitor, of Exeter, and at first a war- rant for trespass was sworn out, the case tried and dismissed. Then onfur- tber advice of her solicitor. Mrs. Deliun swore out a warrant for theft and a constable went to arrest Gill, but the piano, being given back to prisoner, the constable returned the warrant marked "unused." The advice of the lawyer aod the conduct of the latter constable, roused the ire of his Lordship, and he spoke in .no measured terms against the illegality of both actions, Mr. Dick- son, while in the box as a witness, de- fended his course, but the Judge was most emphatic in his condemnation of it. The jury, after two hours' delibera- tion, announced that they could not agree—some holding prisoner ought to, and did, know better -notwithstanding her legal advice, she believed she was doing right. His Lordship discharged the jury, remarking that their differ- ence of opinion was an honest one, but while it was a pity to have the case go over, he could not blame the jurors. He expressed the wish that when the case was next tried, the man who had caused all the trouble would not be overlooked, Mrs. Dalton was admitted to bail in her own recognizance for $500 and two sureties of $250 each. The Queen vs. Charles W. Wilson, charged with rape on Mrs, Spindler liv- ing in Seaforth, was then taken up, but when the woman bad given her evi- dence, His Lordship declared there was no case to go the jury, and the Crown agreed. In discharging the jury His Lordship regretted that the law could not reach the prisoner, wbom he de- nounced as an unmitigated blackguard. It would seam, from the evidence, that the woman had not afforded the resist- ance she should to substantiate the charge, and this the crown was going to show was owing to her weak mental and physical condition. When he dis charged the prisoner,His Lordship gage him a "dressing" that would have made a less callous individual squirm. He declared that if the charge could have been sustained, he would have given him ten years in the penitentiary, and advised him to leave the country at once, for he was a disgrace to it, The only other case was a charge of assault with intent to do bodily harm, against a lad named Thomas Kyle, who had thrown a stone at another boy, knocking one eye out: He was released on suspended sentence. The Grand Jury made their present- ment, stating they had inspected the 'ail finding four male and one female prisoners, the latter insane, and await- ing removal to the asylum. Two of the males are insane and are also await ing removal. The jail and court house are both cleanly kept t and in good or- der. They say: "We regret to say that we are unable to visit the house f miles refuge, owing to its being 23 distant, and there being nomode of conveyance provided. If it is neces- sary for the Grand Jury to visit this institution the Government should, in our opinion, make some provision for conveyance at the County's expense." His Lordship commended the jurors for their promptness and agreed with them that provision should be made in the law for their inspection of the house of refuge. The Court was then closed: The assessment returns just .com- pleted show the population of London to be 34,794. Clinton: On Monday Mrs. A. Gorrell passed to her reward.

LOOKING SERIOUS.. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE EASTERN QUESTION. Deal:yards and Arsenals at High Pressure --ss Russia Blaster or the Situation? New fork, Sept. 20. --Mr. H. B. Chamberlain cables from London to the San: More than anything which can happen in Constantinople Europe fears at this moment the threatened whirlwind of British pe bile opinion. Lord Salisbury dreads it Most of all, and every possible. influence is being brought to bear to check the agitation in this country. There are signs to -day that those who have conjured up thestorin tiro beginning to draw back in alarm, but it is too late. aIx. Gladstone has virtually promised to address the great meeting in Liverpool next week, and after that there will bo no silencing the thunder of England's wrath. But the situation has changed and the indications are that the wrath will be utterly impotent, England's iso- lation is no 'longer splendid, and her rulers will make no attempt to render it glorious as long as the present condi- tions continue. The refusal of the con- tinental powers to permit intervention in Turkey has now become unanimous and emphatic. Lord Salisbury's Govern- ment has declared unofficially that it will do nothing, no matter how much people may agitate, so long as that re- fusal stands. Lord Roseberry to -day practically endorses this policy, thus putting himself in direct opposition to the Grand Old Man, his former chief. Every Unionist and independent news- paper to -day joins in an almost hysteri- cal "appeal to the "mad sentimentalists" to abandon a course which would end in rushing the country'into war, It is the peculiarity of all theseutteranoes, official and otherwise, that every one assnnios without argument that for England to. interfere alone would inevitably bring about a general European war, The danger of that eventuality" would (ler• tainly be great, but it is by no means inevitable. , There is no power in Europe. mere earnestly opposed to war at the present moment ninon Russia. The rea- sons for this attitude on the part of England's chief rival aro vastly interest- ing and important, and they are fully presented in a communication which will soon appear in the columns of the Sun. They lead me to urge that it est not ins- lioesible far England to insist upon the deposition of the Sultan lender a full guarantee of the 'unselfishness of her Iilotive and purpose. Tho ;impression. seems to prevail in continental countries that public opinion in England is abso- lute master of the British Government; hence there is great alarm throughout Europe over the rapid spread of indig- nation in these islands. Perhaps the un- oflicial announcement from Lord Salis- bury tient ho will refuse to yield to pressure from that quarter will calm continental apsseehensio us. What effectit will have upon the Sultan it difficult to conjecture. The despatches printed by the Times and other Unionist journals from Constantinople are of the most alarming description. The best ground for hope in that quarter is the fact that Russia is certainly using her strongest efforts to restrain the bloodthirsty - in- stincts of the Sovereign who sits on the Turkish throne. The Sultan himself knows, unfortunately, that Russia will maintain hini in Ms position no matter what exceasas he commits; hence the diflioulty of control. There is plenty of evidence that the British Government has been expecting the gravest events in Europe ever since the beginning of the year, Nothing loss would explain the fact that the dock- yards and arsenals have been wonting at the highest pressure for eight months past, with the result that already the whole amount authorized by parliament to be spent for the year ending on March 11 next' has been expended. The Trea- surer is now advanoing money illegally, hut Lord Salisbury knows there is little difficulty in getting an indemnity when parliament meets in February or earlier. The result of this feverish activity is seen in the advanced state of many iron - clads which otherwise would not lie much more than on the stocks by now, and in the onmpletion and re -arming of the horse and field artillery, The former, which is said to be the finest artillery force in the world, is now at its war strength of ten batteries of six guns each, with a reserve ofeight guns, while three army corps have been provided with forty-five batteries of six guns each, with large reserves. It is said also that the Woolwich arsenal at present is turn- ing out a certain new and powerful shall at the rate of 3,000 to 4,000a week. KINGSTON. Five Convicts Plot to Escape From the Penitentiary. Kingston, Sept. 20.—A plot of five convicts to escape from the prison of isolation at Kingston Penitentiary has been frustrated and the men planed in the dungeon for safekeeping. The con- victs who were implicated were Bidden of this city; Selly,who escaped last fall and was recaptured: Buckley, of To- ronto, a ra b i e Montreal, ion L f mos of bIo urea and the fifth a man from Hamilton. Lafram- bols was the leader of the operation, and it was through his assault on a fellow - convict that the pion was discovered. When he was searched in the dungeon a knife with saw teeth was discovered in his clothing. His cell was .searched, when a ladder made of a cotton sheet and a rope made of pleases of fiber were found. n . The other four prisoners had also saw knives. A survey of the cells occupied by the other four revealed an interesting and startling condition of affairs. Front- ing the cell ocoupiedby Laframboise Was one unoccupied. Laframboise tunnelled from his quarters into this. Itisexpected be disposed of the earth by throwing, it down the closet. A second prisoner had also tunnelled into the empty Dell. An examination of . the bars in the empty cell disclosed the fact that four were sawed through. The plot is the biggest that has been unearthed in the prison for some time. Doth Legs Broken - Hamilton Sept. lg.—Another S p .carious accident occurred on the T. II. and B. spur lino this evening. Hugo Rayner, who boards on York street, was doing some work under a loaded dump -car, when the signalman, net knowing that Raynor was under the car, gave the sig- nal for it to start.
