THE EXPOSI'rOR AND TEM-
PERANCE.
OUR ESTEEMED cotem, the Huron
Expositor, in its iesue of March
3rd, insinuated that the Times
was retreating on, its temperance
record. We defy the Expositor
to show when or where—by one
word of our own—we ever were
anything less than staunch sup-
porters of the temperance cause.
We are not pharisaical enough to
fill our columns with temperance
lectures and news to the exclus-
ion at other interesting topics of
the day; but when we do speak
we speak with no uncertain sound,
and our friends always know where
to find us, at d so far as in us lies,
we are consistent and live up to
our professions. Our friends lt now
TFIXT too.
But let es see who this is that
reads us a lecture on temperance
and our duty. The Dominion
Alliance laid it down as the duty
of all temperance men to vote for
genuine temPerance candidates,
irrespectiye of party. In pursu-
ance of this duty a great many
local associations pledged them-
selves to do so, and the Exeter
association also acquiesced. A
round-robin was signed by the
assoeiation here in the fall of 1886,
pledging the signers to vote for
the best temperance man brought
out by either party. The same
thing was done in adjacent muni-
• cipalities. Our confrere took con-
siderable trouble in stumping
South Huron at that time to get
such pledges made and ducuments
• signed. At that time it was confi.
dently expected that Mr. M. Y.
McLean or D.D. Wilson, of Sea -
forth, would be the Reform can-
didate for the local in South Huron
However, Mr. A. Bishop carried
the Reform convention, and then
we find this same Expositor man
stumping the country, to try to
proie that such pledges and round -
robins were only made and signed
• to be broken. Such ground he
• tool, notably at Varna. and at
Hensell at nomination. Mr. Mc-
Lean got into a trap a.nd shook it
oft by deliberately persuading
people to go back on their verbal
or written pledges • and to a great
eXtent he succeeded. And then he
assumes to read the Times a tem-
perance lecture forsooth. We
• =always gave our cotem credit for
unlimited cheek, but this last is
the most brassy thing the Expos-
itor ever attempted.
Anything the Temes honestly
believes will advance temperance,
we espouse.. The Expositor de-
liberately went back on its loud
temperance professions when it
thought such action necessary for
its party's sake. Politics first,
foremost aed middle with temper-
ance attached to its tail and is our
cotem's motto.
If the Expositor would preach a
little more temperance about
election times when it would do
the most good and not read such
and so many savage temperance
tirades tobetter temperance people
than itself, dune g polit.cal quiet-
ude, the pubhe would have more
faith in its temperance 'principles.
The Expositor knows, and every
man, woman and school child in
the Dominion knows that Mr. D.
Mills' resolution in the House anent
Scott Act enforcement was pure
buncombe. He knew it was not
the province of the Dominion
Government to enforce the act.
The courts had settled that. Not
a temperance, man in the Houee—
Grit or Tory—had notice of his
intention to make such a motion.
The Dominion Alliance, then in
session, was opposed to his motion.
His sole object was to erebar'rase
the government and not to advance
the tempera.nce cause.
A few remarks on the irnpolicy
of Mr. Mills' course ,called forth
the Expodtoes wrath on us. To-
day, every temperance man knows
he made a grave err or, and iujured
temperance not a little. That
rnay have been partly his object.
He cares as much for ternperan
as our cotem. Last year he, with
other Liberals voted against pro:
hibition. The Expositor and Mr
Mills are about on a par with the
Hon. G. W. Ross. That honor
able gentleman, who was conceded
to be a staunch temperance man,
when a member of the Dotninion
witha Tory admioistration
in power, moved a resolution in
favor of prohibition every session,
The first session after Mr. Mac-
kenzie took power, Mr. Farrow
(We think it was) moved a similar
resolution, its Mr. Rossown words
wheu Mr, Ross cooly voted against
it, That was about as consistent
as the Expositor and Mr. Mills,
What has the Expositor, Mr,
Mills, Mr, Ross or any of the
Reform party singly or as a whole,
done for the cause of temperance,
when they had an opportunity of
REALLY helping teinpera.uce ? Echo
answers, what?
Teinperance inspires our cotem
with a great deal of zeal just now,
but in December 1886, temperance
was not the burning question.
Neither the TIMES, nor the Con-
servative party in South Huron!.
in Ontario or in the Dominion, can
be accused of sacrificing temper•
acme for party advantage.
Could the Expositor make that
proud beaet for itself and party,
the little burgh of Seaforth could
not contain it.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
A third party has been formed
in Gaeada. About four dozen tem-
perance men met in convention at
Toronto a few days ago for the
purpose of organization. The
first they did was to split into two
factions, half of the delegates leav-
ing the hall. 'Temperance is no
doubt a very important question,
but it is doubtful li many of the
temperance voters of the country
will leave their party in tithe of
clanger to yoke for a candidate who
even if elected, would exercise but
a slight influence in the House.
We're afraid tenperance candi-
dates wouldn't save their deposits
in any constituency where the
parties are nearly evenly divided.
"A TOO zealous Tory, in conversation
with a reporter of the Exeter (Ont.),
Tutuis says, speaking of the Souris dis-
trict, that the railway monopoly. -though
somewhat against the farming interest,
nevertheless has been a very beneficial
factor in the settlement of that part
This is about the style of araument used
by the yellow dog class. If monopoly
was a factor against the farminginter-
ests, it is hard to understand how it
was a factor in the settlement of a farm-
ing district."—Brandon Sun.
The item referred to by the Sun
was contributed by our Kirlcton
correspondent, and the meaning
he wished it to conveywas reason-
able enough: That while the
railway monopoly wrought trifling-
ly against the farming interest, it
did not in the least retard the
settlement nor progress of the
country. People do not take
much notice of lunatics such as
the Grit editors of Manitoba, and
do not' scare a little.
Tien Manchester, England, Mail
announces that the Manchester
Young Men's Christian association
is now sending out its third party
for this year of young men "going
with the conseut of their friends to
situations on farms in Manitoba."
There are thirty in the party, and
they are from London, Manchester
Newcastle and other well-known
agricultural districts iu England.
We are just a little a.fraiel that the
young farmers from London will
-find the agricultural condition of
Manitoba somewhat different from
those of Cheapside and Charing
Cross—.so much so indeed that
they may not be quite so useful as
a Canadian farmer for the first few
<lays, until they learn the business.
But if the boys are not perfect in
the art of extracting a wheat block-
ade from the soil of the prairie
they are at least good Ohristia.ns.
And if there is anything that Man-
itoba needs more than any .other
thing it is a little Christian leaven
thatshalllea.yen the whole province.
ARNPRI011, Ont, April 2.—The town,

estimated about $10,000, partly cover-
ed by insurance. The origin of thefire
is unknown.

News Notes.
Sioex City, ja,, April 2. —The gorge
in the Missouri River, above Elk Point,
broke late yesterday, and the water
soon submerged the country between
Elk Point and Jefferson, Dak. The
Milwaukee and St. Paul tracks, for a
distance of nine miles, this side of Elk
Point, are under water, and it is thought
that about six miles have been washed
away, although thie cannot be told
until water subsides. A great many
families in the submerged district were
forced to leave everything, und fly to
the higher portion of the country. No
lives are reported lost, but much stock
has perished. At Elk Point a nurnber
Of house are flooded, and the water is
thirteen inches deep in the Milwaukee
depot. At Jefferson the depot is
surrounded by water, and the operator
goes to his work in a boat.
The first month's experience of the
working of the parcel post system' be-
tween 0Danada and the United States
has been satisfactory, the machinery of
both the Post 'Office and Customs De-
partments having been easily adopted
to meet the requiremeuts of the new
system. The only hitch that has occur-
red has arisen from the fact that ex-
change offices are not sufficiently num-
erous, but this will be removed when
the test demonstrates where such
offices are a necessity. There„ are at
present ninety exchange offices in On
tario, twentyiin Quebec,twenty-five in
New Brunswick, eight n Prince Ed-
ward Island, five in Nova Scotia, fen in
Manitoba and the North west Territor-
ies, and four in British Columbia.
These offices are necessarily limited in
in number, as the attendance of Cus-
toms officers is required at each.
VIENNA, April 2.—Several more vill-
ages in Hungary have been flooded and
the people are starving. At Hethrarua
120 houses have been burned and 700
are homeless. Two lives were lost.
The villages of Moo, Bereey and Hun-
dsdorf have also been destroyed by fire.
Despite the fact that the floods are now
subsiding somewhat, new breeches in
the banks of streams are reported to
the north and east of Posen. Almost
all the railways in West Prussia are
impassable. Large sums for the relief
of sufferers by the flood have been sub-
scribed in Berlin.
Notice.
A meetingof the shareholders of the Exeter
cemetery will be held in the Town Hall on
Friday April 13th. at 2 P. ni Other important

eharge large quantities of mucous. Peeling
alarmed, I sought iliebest medical eltil I avail-
