THE TARIFF,
We quite approve offtbe new Govern,
meat sending a commission to inquire
ate the working of the tariff and getting
all the information available before
beginning to tinker the tariff. Changes.
in the tariff always upset business,
therefore frequent changes, or Inedd-
31ng are very inadvisable. The new
Government should settle on .a definate
policy and stick to it for years till
thangiug conditions render tariff
changes necessary, Consequently no
one can blame the Government for tak-
lug every means in its power to become
fully informed beforodefining its policy.
That policy should be fully matured
before being passed, The evidence
given before the commission so far has
all been on one side; that is in favor of
a fairly high protective tariff, To a
sommissionor of the ultra -free trade
views of Sir Richard Cartwright the
evidence must be nauseating. So far as
they have gone it would appear that
Canada is not in favor of free trade, or
even a revenue tariff. Protection is
the key note of every deputation.
Now, if there is any other side to
this question this would be the time
a;.r the other side to be heard. Surely
the farmers of this country have aright
:o be heard. They form the largest
part of the commuuity and their pros-
eserity is the only basis of a prosperous
;: ,uutry.
Where is John McMillan, M. P., in
This crisis of the country's history ? He
is professedly the farmer's champion,
if he was sincere in denouncing pro-
tection as the farmers ruin while in
apposition, why not take a hand in in
:inducing a farmer's deputation to the
r.ommission ?
This is a question withtwo sides, If
protection is as iniquitous as depicted
ey the Liberal free traders for so many
years, why are all the free traders of the
country dumb now ? Let us have a
full, fair, free and impartial inquiry into
• the facts aeel let the policy of the
new Government be settled during
their regime by the result of that in
quiry. The political cyclone of last
June appears to have killed all the free
traders, or at least all the free trade
principles in the country.
INCREASE OF CRIMES.
People are beginning to. ask. "Is
I*anada the great moral country it's
public men have always painted it ? "—
Especially Ontario? Of recent years
the crimes of C" nada has vastly in-
ereased-murder whether emotional
or premeditated casts its lurid glare
over us almost every day. Sexual
crimes steadily increase, while suicide
and insanity are so common as to fail
to elicit comment. This seems to prove
either that we are a very depraved
people or that the moral foundations on
which our society is built are very de-
fective. Which is it ? One thing is
certain that these questions require
careful consideration by either our
legislators or by our moral guardians.
If those features of Canadian life in-
crease in the same ratio for the next
ten years our reputation will not be an
enviable one.
We have for Iong pointed to our
Southern neighbors as the land of crime,
dishonesty, irreligion and divorce. It
is time we looked to our own escutcheon.
We are sorry to write in the above
view, yet stern truth demands it. Simp-
ly glossing over our frailties -will not
remedy them. We want the remedi-
able sons in society brought to light so
that,reputa.ble citizens of Canada can
fight and conquer them. A festering
sneered sore will not heal, neither will
a festering social sore heal itself. Both
need exposure, washing and cleansing.
Whose duty is it to cleanse the social
ulcers of Canada ? Everybody's, who
values the reputation of his country.
By calling attention to those facts we,
are trying to do part of our duty as
public exponents of opinion.

By many persons "The Flaneur" of
the Mail -Empire is considered a shrewd
bend, Here is a bit of his wisdom from
lust Saturday's issue of that'paper. "I
fear it is extremely unlikely that the
Manitoba school question is settled, 'out
the arrengement appears to be a good
one -the best probably in the circum-
stances. Of cor;rse the Greenway Min.
istry would concede nothing to the late
Federal Government, but ithas made
Much concession to the present Govera
merit. Still no one will grudge. Mr.
Laurier any credit due to him for hav-
ing removed a troublesome question
ate Schools are killed; that is the main
out of the way, even if the removal be
only temporary.. Personally I am sat-
isfied to know that in Manitoba Separ-.
point, A Roman Catholic sheet says
only the fanatics are satisfied; the sheet
in question is doubtless a goad judge
of what fanaticism is. The only "set,
tlement" of this education question—in
Manitoba and elsewhere—will be in
straight secular schools, We may like
it or dislike it, but there is no other,
way. And the "religious" people of the
various sects, can have the satisfaction
of knowing that they, and they alone
are the people who are responsible for
no other settlement being possible,"
West Huron Teachers' Association
The West Huron Teachers' Associa-
tion:met in the Collegiate Institute at
11 a. m. according to the call of the
executive committee,
J, S Dolgaty, president of the Asso-
ciation, occupied the chair.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by S. P. Halls, B. A.
The minutes of previous meeting at
Exeter, were read and adopted.
The following committees were ap-
pointed, viz:—Resolution, Messrs Baird,
Tom, Lockhart, Mrs. Robb and Miss
Wiggins; audit, T, A. McLaughlin and
J. Spencer; program, S. P. Halls, W. H.
Johnston and Miss. prosper.
The program committee then report
ed that the order of business as laid
down in the program be followed.
"It was decided that Mr, Baird's no-
tice of motion with reference to bonus-
ing periodicals be the first order of bus-
iness in the afternoon."
Oa motion the Association adjourned
to meet at 1,30 p. m,
AFTERNOON SESSION,
The Association met at 1.80 p. m, the
president in the chair.
The minutes of morning session were
read and approved.
Mr. Baird withdrew his resolution on
restricting the bouncing of periodicals,
on receiving assurance that the finan
cial standing of the Association will
permit the continuance of the practice.
Wm. Houston, M. A„ director of
teachers' institutes, proceeded to discuss
the subject of teaching literature, tak-
ing as the basis of his remarks two of
Tennyson's poems, "Crossing the bar,"
and "Break, breakbreak," copies of
which were distributed among the
teachers. Mr, Houston's remarks were
well received, and the teachers seemed
to derive much benefit therefrom.
, G. W. Holman introduced a discus-
sion on the new copy books and con
condemned the Newland series as unfit
for use in the schools; and inferior in
every respect to those of Gage's.
R. E. Brown also spoke strongly con-
demning the Newland series of copy
books,
W. H. Johnston spoke in the same
strain and urged the adoption of Gages'
series in West Huron, regardless of the
consequence as to loss of grant,
G. Baird suggested the use of the old
authorized book until a better is au-
thorized.
S. P. Halls, B.A., said the Gage's ser-
ies was decidedly in advance of that of
Newland's.
G. Baird then read a carefully pre•
pared paper on "The care of school pro-
perty," which was well received. He
said the teacher should be guided by
the same interest in the school property
as he or she would manifest in the pre-
servation of his or her own.
Mr. Baird urged teachers to be very
vigilant in the exercise of their duty in
the preservation of the trees and other
ornaments of the school premises.
R. E. Brown then read a paper on
"The Dignity of the Teachers Profes
sion."
It was evident; that Mr. Brown had
given much thought to the matter and
many valuable hints were thrown out.
The question was further discussed
by Messrs, Boyd and Johnston.
The association then adjourmed to
meet in the morning at 9 a. m.
E V ENING.
A very successful "At Home" was
held at the Collegiate Institute Assem-
bly room at which a splendid program
was rendered including excellent reci-
tations by Misses Johnston and Bell, a
solo by Miss Strachan and instrument-
als by Miss Shaw. A lively discussion
was held, in which all were invited to
participate, on the subject, "The Out
look for the Public School. Teacher."
Many of the citizens of Goderich were
present, including the school trustees,
who took part in the discussion and,
made some valuable suggestions. Pres-
ident Delgaty occupied the chair and
delivered his annual address which was
well received and very favorably com-
mented upon. Last but not least, an
excellent lunch including cake and cof-
fee was served by the teachers of God-
erich and their friends. In this part of
the program every one had a share and
each had the satisfaction of apprecia-
ting his or her own efforts. "God Save
the Queen" brought this excellent en
tertainment to a close at a timely hour.
GODERION, Noy. 28th, 1896.
The Association met at 9 a. in,, the
president in the chair.

ed by G. Baird, the thanks of the Asso-
ciation rSere tendered to the trustees of

areas., G. W. Reiman, fluronflale; exec-
utive committee, T. G. rllliu, B. D Grant
S. P. Halls, B A,, J. A, Gregory and Miss
Vesper,
G. W. Holman then introduced a re-
solution on the practice of undermining
and underbidding restored to by teach-
ers. G. M. liilty seconded the motion
which after some discussion was re-
ferred to the resolution committee.
Mr. Houston then proceeded to discuss
"Grammatical Analysis," dealing more
particularly with the logical structure
of an English sentence.
Mr. Houston discussed the subject in
an able manner and much valuable in-
formation was given. The teachers
took a lively interest in thediscussion
and seemed highly pleased,
1'4x. H. Johnston was then called upon
and explained his method of teaching
composition to second and third classes.
Mr. Johnston dealt fully with the
subject and his remarks were eagerly
listened to. The discussion was fur-
ther continned by Messrs, Brown, Boyd,
Gregory, Tom, Holman and Delgaty.
The hour of adjournment having arriv-
ed, the association adjourned to meet
at LSO p. in.
AFTERNOON SESSION
The association meet at 1:80 p. m.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and adopted.
in the absence of Mr. Scott, S. J. A.
Hovel kindly consented to take the sub.
ject—"Proper Interpretation and Work.
ing of Signs in Fractions."
Mr. Boyd's explanations seemed very
satisfactory to the teachers present.
A discussion then took place on the
use of the spelling book in schools, in
which the following took part—Messrs,
Holman, Brown, Boyd, Delgaty and
others. This discussion proved vary
interesting. and became very general
and was very beneficial,
The following resolutions as amend-
ed were then adopted by the association.
1. That this association is of the opin-
ion that the Gage series of vertical
writing should receive immediate an
thorization, as the present system is un-
satisfactory.
2, That on account of teachers hay.
ing to preside at the high school en-
trance and P. S. Leaving examinations
and also the school rooms being used
for these examinations, it is the opinion
of this Association that the high school
entrance and public school leaving
examination should be hold `after 30th
of June in each year.
8. That we, the members of the W.
H. T. A., express our disapproval of the
practice of teachers applying for posi-
tions without first asertainiug whether
the present teacher is likely to be re-
engaged or not, and that every teacher
in this inspectorate, having definite
proof of such unprofessional conduct,
shall report in writing the same to sec-
retary of the Association who shall re
port the names of such offenders to the
executive, and the executive shall take
such action in the matter as shall be
deemed in the best interests of the
teaching profession.
4. While appreciating fully the in-
terest manifested in education : by the
editors of our papers throughout the
county, we would suggest that commit-
tees of teachers be appointed in differ-
ent parts of the Inspectorate who shall
collect statistics and facts relating to
education and oi~ interest. to. the teach
ing profession in general and cause the
same to be published in the local papers
of the county,
A hearty yote of thanks was tender-
ed the teachers and their friends who
furnished the excellent entertainment
provided for the association on Friday
night.

former teacher, was in attendance at

Hamilton, Nov. 80.—The last meeting.
of this year's City Council according to
an amendment in the Municipal Aot,
will be held on December 28th, and the
first nieetin g of the 1897 Council on Jan-
uary 17th. From present appearances
nearly all the members of this year's
Council will soak re-election, and Mayor
Tuok.ett's re-election by . acclamation
seems almost a certainty.
The two boilers for the sewage inter-
ception works were completed yesterday,.
and will be placed next week.' They are
a month ahead of contract time. It is
not likely that the sewage plant will be
in operation till next spring.
The collocation of sketches lent by
Harpers, of New Fork, for the Art Stu-
dents' League exhibition this week,
have arrived. They are a fine lot, and
are valued at 55,000.
Mr. T. Watson Stead, of the Spectator,
yesterday received a cablegram, announc-
ing the death of his brother, Mr. T.
Ballan Stead, in Norwich, England.
Deceased was permanent secretary of the
Ancient Order of Foresters, and one of
the best known secret sooiety men in
the world. Last May, in Dundee, he ate
sans poisoned food. Blood poisoning set
in, and though a leg was amputated be
save his life, it was of no use, and he
died bn Friday morning.
An old woman named Catharine Perry
was found by the police late to -night in
the East end of the city nearly frozen.
She says she came here from Toronto
yesterday. She was in pretty bad. shape
when found, but came around all right,
RAILWAY DEAL.
The C. P. B. Leases the Buffalo and Lake
Tfuron--Goderich After the Northwest
Grain Traffic.
Toronto, Deo, 1.—If the report of a
deal which the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way is said to have made with the Grand
Trunk is true, then the big Canadian.
road has secured an almost straight 1fne
from Detroit to Buffalo through the leas-
ing of the Buffalo t4c Lake Huron branch
of the Grand Trunk, and will have an-
other outlet for Northwest grain, The
lease, it is said, covers a period of fifty
years.
The new line would make the haulage
of grain to Torontoeasier, but there
would apparently be no object in send-
ing grain to Buffalo, as the Canadian
Pacific ships to Europe through Portland,
Halifax and Montreal. The Canadian
Pacific, 3t is said, is not likely to conflict
with the Grand Trunk in its arrange-
ments. The best relations exist between
the two roads, and the C. P. R. would
probably build a line for itself should
the Grand Trunk refuse to lease the
road. Arrangenients could easily be
made for preventing competition in pass-
enger rates. The Canadian Pacific, how-
ever, would compete with the Michigan
Central from Detroit to Buffalo, the
Michigan Central being 251 miles while
the new road is only one mile longer.
Mrs. Bold Patally Burned.
Belleville, Nov. 80.--A very.sad acoi-
dent occurred this evening, by which a
young married woman lost her life in a
shocking manner. Shortly after 0 o'olook
Mrs. James Reid, Meyers street, while
engaged in her household duties, found
it necessary to go upstairs. A little
daughter preceded her, and when part
way up the little one tripped, and, in
falling, struck the lamp the mother was
carrying, and in a moment the unfortu-
nate woman was wrapped in flames from
the burning oil. The screams of the
woman and her children alarmed the
neighbors, who hurried in and exting-
uished the flames, but not before the
clothing had been almost entirely burned
from Mrs. Raid's body, and she was
fearfully burned from head to foot. Drs.
Gibson and McColl were hurriedly sum-
moned and did all in their power to
alleviate her sufferings, but did not give
any hope of her recovery. She lingered
in great agony until 9.80 o'clock, when
death released her. Mr. Reid, who is a
fireman on the G. T. R. yard engine,
bad only left the house to go to work a
few minutes before the accident cook
place. Mrs. Reid's maiden name was
Scott, and she came here from Brockville
with her husband about two years ago.
Highway Robbery rear Basting:.
Hastings, Out,, Nov. 80.—On rirday
afternoon about six o'clock a daring
highway robbery was committed a few
miles from this town on the main road
to Westwood. On the brow of Lobb's hill
the sides of the road are thickly studded
with underbrush, and there is a water-
ing trough used by every driver passing.
Miss Kate Walsh, the daughter of a
wealthy farmer, who resides about four
miles west of here, had been shopping,
and in returning about six o'clock
turned into the watering -place to give
her horse a drink. The animal had
scarcely stopped when a masked footpad
sprang out of the bushes and caught her
horse by the bridle. Miss Walsh en-
deavored to urge the horse forward with
the, whip, when the man , jumped into
the buggy, and the young lady alighted
on the opposite side screaming loudly
for help. The scoundrel seized the
young lady, secured her purse, which
contained over seven dollars, and made
off into the bushes. As no tramps have
been noticed in the vicinity for weeks,
it is not supposed that her assailant was
one of the fraternity.
Fined for Assault.
Windsor, Ont„ Nov. 80.—The Pollee
Court room was crowded this morning
to hear the trial for assault preferred
against Mayor . Mason by Alderman,
Shepherd. The only persons examined
by Magistrate Bartlett were the plaintiff
and defendant. Mr. Sol. White was pre-
sent in behalf of the Mayor and asked
that the sentence be made as mild as.
possible, as he did not pretend to claim
that there was no assault. The Magis-
trate remarked that it was a most ex-
traordinary position for a young man
like Mayor Mason to hold, he having
during the year held 'the casting vote in
the Council and in the Board of Water,
Commissioners. Be said he would fine
the Mayor nnly ten dollars and costs,,
just half what he might impose.
Woodstock.
Woodstock,. Nov.30.—Meagre details of
a stabbing affray near Brownsville last
week have been received. According to
the report, old man Bowerman, who is
notorious through his connection • with
what the Woodstock police' call the
"Swamp Angel" gang was set upon by
toughs and slashed in the thigh and
groin with some sharp instrument. . The,
affair; was reported to Chief Skirving of
Ingersoll and the latter; has instructed
the parties to. communicate with the
Crown Attorney 'at St. Thomas. The
affray took place In Elgin County.
