SIR WILFRID DENOUNCED.
The Etpworth League of the Media
-
dist Church, Thorneale, on Friday
evening last, at a full meeting, uuani-
raoasly passe1 the following resole-
tione—
"Resolved, that we set on record our
disapproval and greatly deprecate the
decision of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his
Cabinet on the Plebiscite. We believe
such decision to be contrary to the in-
tention of the plebiscite, to be against
the best interests of humanity, the
cause of Obristianity and the great
temperance question. We believe the
• xnajority for prohibition was sufficient
to warrant the government in passing
• some tenaperance legielaciaa, if not to
give prohibition at least in all the
Pee:educes except Quebec, and. there
we are persuaded great corruption
must have prevailed to cause suth an
overwhelming majority against the
• plebiscite. In view of the decision
rendered by Sir Wilfrid and his Gov-
ernment on the plebiscite, we there-
fore severally and collectively pledge
• ourselves to withdraw our sympathy
aild support from Sir Wilfrid Laurier
• and his Government, and to vote mad
support those "eentlereen and govern-
ment that willcarry out the wish of
the majority of the people in this Do-
minion on the temperance question."
• NO PROHIBITION BILL.
Aid, Spence, of Toronto, has just
• Made public a letter, dated March 4,
which he has received from the Pre-
• mier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the ques-
tion of the plebiscite vote. At some
• length the Premier points out the re-
• sults a the vote, saying "the record
shows that the electorate of Canada,
tie which the question was submitted,
comprised 1,233,819 voters, and of that
number less than 23 per cent., or a
trifle over one-fifth affirmed their con-
• victioe in the principle of prohibition."
• Sir Wilfrid Laurier'sletter concludes
thus : "My object, is simply to convey
• to you the conclusiou that in our judg-
• Ment the. expression of the public
opinion recorded at the polls in favor
of prohibition did not representsuch a
proportion of the electorate as would
• justify the introduction by the Govern-
ment of a prohibitory measure."
In an interview with Add. Spence be
• said for himself personally that "I
think it is -very unfair to count the
• • stay-at-home votes against us, and if
the principle which Sir Wilfrid Laurier
• lays down in his letterwere carried out
• the Liberals were defeated at the last
eleciens."
• Mr. Spenceis one of the most rapid
Liberals in Toronto.
Eareen should have a milk and
meat inspector, an official. who will
guarantee to the people that they are
drinking pure nailk and eating whole-
some meat, Towns of not half her
pretensions are ahead of Exeter in
• this respect and further, it is custom-
ary throughout the province for such
municipalities as ours, to levy a tax of
from $3 to $5 upon all persons ped-
dlinimilk. This is but fair. Other
•peters are compelled to take out
li-
censes and why not the milkman. He
is not selling the lacteal fluid" for the
fun of the thing. Let the council is-
sue a milkman's license and pay a inan
of experience to examine all meat,
milk and farm produce sold on the lo-
cal market and give him all power nec-
essary in the prosecution of delin-
• qtienbs,
Owing to the heavy import duty
upon flax imposea by the United
States there will be none grown
around Embro this year, and the mill
will be closed for at least a year. This
will be a serious loss to the village.
The farm of George Rooney. of Dow-
nie, which was not sold at time of sale
of stock ancl implements last week, has
since been disposed of privately to Mr.
Moffatt, or North reasthope, for $0,100,
Mr. Moffatt will take possession on
April 1. The farm eonaprises 05 acres
and is in good condition, having good
buildings, fences and lustier drairis.
• Rev. Andrew Cunningham, pastor
of the Methodist chattel at Kincerd-
ine, died Friday morning after & se-
vere illness, lasting seven months. Ile
leaves anvvidow, daughter of the late
Dr, nice, superintendent of the Metho-
dist Ohara Cabada, and sister of
IL L. Rice, 11 '
A., SL Marys. three
sons and two daughters. For thirty-
one years Mr. Canninglmen had been
fictively engaged in the ministry, his
first, ppoin tmen t being at Newmarket.
Since then he had filled some of the
most iinportapt atabions in the prov-
inee, inelnding London, St, Merys,
Hamilton, Stratferd, • Guelphs Galt,
Oearigeville, Mitchell and Kincardine,
It is announced that 6,000 more
Galiciaxis are to be importedthie year
by the 11012.0iifford Sittorsto swell the
unneigration returns. The Winnipeg,
Telegram yigorieteely, protests against
any further consignment of these
people to tbe Nortlawest, and says :—
"Not only are they poor and filthy,
but their morsel ebaracter is disgrace-
ful. The revelation of tba character
of these people evlaich the atrocious
Stematburn anurder has Afforcled is
sufficient in itself to condemn them:
Not only do they hold- robbery and
newsier in very light estimation, but
they are inveterate and enscrapulous
perjurers. • In the vicinity of every
Galician settlement, theaustecesof the
peace haye been kept busy. The Tele-
gram dots not condemn these people
from exceptional cases. All the time
evidence is being furnished as to their
disgustingly low moral standard, One
of the most receipt instances in this
regard, is furnished in a late issue of
the Calgary Herald. There are very
few white women evho sink so low as
to become the mistresses of Chinamen.
Yet the Galician women have no
scruples against so doing. 'When a
case of Chino -Galician immorality was
brought •before the court, the crown
prosecutor refused to go on with tae
case. There may leave been lack of
sufacient evidence, as pleaded,but it is
curious that the crown •prosecutor in
the case was a brother or Mr. Satan,
Minister of the Interior.
Evaporated P otato es. ,
Perhaps there is nothing in the evo •
lotion of things, that bas been subject
to more change, and this is especially
true of the closing century, than the
preparation of food stuffs.
Every Year brings some 'improve-
ment in the human diet, not so much
in the victuel itself as in the mode of
preparing it. this being more percept-
ible, at the present time in thee making
ready of fruits and roots. But in this
generation ,of change, manse' chiefest
sustinance has been overlooked—the
potato, we think it has been slighted.
The apple With her sister fruits is pre-
pared for consumption in every imag-
inable manner and yet the poinme
de t ere is served up for brealtaisedintier
and supper, just as she came from
the field. Why are frnits evaporated?
Not thab they are improved ia flavor,
or increased in bulk, by, the drying
process, for on the other hand there is
a depreciation in both quantity and
flavor. And yet eveporatiou pays,
because it facilitates the necessary
handling of the goods ; sett economizes
storingroom and preserves the fruit
for an iudefinately long time.
Now what we advocate is the evap-
oration of the potato, as a, home in-
dustry. Not only will the beneficial
results of evaporated fruit follow, but
the potato has an advantage over fruit,
in as much as it is pitless. That the
entire article can be.used for one pur-
pose is surely a powerful inducement.
With it there can be no waste and the
process of evaporation is. greatly sim-
plified.
A. returned minor, from the north,
says that of all the specially prepared
foodstuffs, in the Klondyke, none has
tivned out such a success as the dried
potato, and moreover Ogilvie in his of-
ficial message to prospectors, advises
them to carry agoodly supply of evap-
orated potatoes. This is sienificant.
If such a preparation of the root
proves a boon to these men of the
north, it must necessarily be a bene-
faction to mankind in general.
. The evaporation of potatoes would
prove a bonanza to Huron farmers, for
no where in the world are there fields,
which can out -yield those of our coun-
ty, either in abundance or excellence
of their crop, nor yet is there a better
place than Exaterfor such an industry.

Lambtou farmers complain of exten-
sive loss of potatoes which they hed
stored in pits, from the extraordinary
frost of a few weeks ago. They had
been covered the usual depth, hub not
sufficient for this winter. Usually but

and the ground remains bare most of

quire extra •attention to seeure them

tion met in the Peblie School here,

derson, tlie chair.

embers for the honer conferred upon

position of President, .
Mr. S. R. Halls, M. A, asked. for an
explanation feem the President and
Secretary, regarding the matter of not
naemorializiug the County Council
with a view to securing Thursdays for
Association purposes, The secretary
replied that? it WAS on account of a ails-
tuideretanding as to the time of meet-
ing of the Clouuty Council.
The minutes of the last session at
Godericla, were read and on motion of
E. J. Hagen, seconded by W. J. Scott,
were adopted.

ard, Hagan, McKay, Johnston and
Miens Halls and Gill. Auditors,—

ewdelVILIVsubject of "Teaching Composis
IL Johnston then introduc-
tion in all grades."
This paper consisted of the substance
of the discussions held by the Exeter
Local District Association and contain,
ed much matter of interest to the
teachers. One of the principal fea-
tures of this paper was the condem-
nation of those of incorrect instead of
correct forms. of speeches teaching
OompositIon, and the recommendation
to use sentence building very largely.
The discussion was .further continued
by Messrs. Holman, Tom, Gowans,
Beckett, Anderson and Miss Jeckell.
The next thing on the program as
au address OD "What can be done by
teachers to foster a national spirit ?"
The address was well received and
showed that thelnspector had bestow-
ed much thought on this subject. It
was full of suggestions to the teachers
and delivered in a veryearnest man-
ner. The principal points in the ad-
dress may be sunamarizecl as follows: -
1 The teacher must be an intelli-
gent, patriotic citizen himself,
2 The teacher sbould give pupils
an intelligent knowledge of their
country and its forms of government.
The size, resources, commerce and
strength of the Dominion and British
Empire should be fully understood.
8 Point out and emphasize the god -
Learing and lawsabiding nature of our
citizens.
4 Encourage the study of our
National Literature.
5 National songs should be sung
by the pupils, and patriotic selections
memorized.
• 6 The study of History and Geog-
xaphyshould always, be along national
lines.
7 Encourage the • reading in the
home, of papers and books that are
national and nlevating. .A. well select-
ed School Mealy should be establish-
ed in every school section.
8 The teacher should use his influ-
ence to create a public sentiment in
• favor of one language, (The English),in
our schools from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
9 In every sehool house there should
be a national flag. •
10 Apicture of our Queen should
be hung in every sebool-room ; also
pictures of leading Canadian Or Brit-
ish statesmen.
Discussion of Mr. Toms' address was
postponed for the afternoon.
Miss Sharman representing the
Goderich Local Division then took up
"Drawing in all grades."
Miss Sharman delivered a very point-
ed and practical address covering the
ground of tbe different, classes very
fully. A pleasing feature of the ad-
dress was that itwasdelivered with-
out manuscript thus lending more
interest to the subject. Miss Sher-
man spoke strongly of the bad ar-
rangement and construction of many
of the figures in our present system of
drawing book.
The question was further discussed
by several teachers.
Mr. It I. Strang was unable to be
present much to the regret of the as-
sociation. Mr. Strang's letter of regret
of his unavoidable absence was read

ing on Mr. Tom's paper.—Messrs. Hol-
man, Halls, Andersep and Miss Bell,
all emphasizing the Importance of the
subject.
Ttie, President, Mr, H. N. Anderson,
then delivereda careful and pro,ceical
address on. Progress in Education
which waswell. received by the
teechers. Many of the weak points in
our public school work were pointed
out, such as too much History and
Geography for entrance,and too much
memory work in general. As to the
teacher himself it was pointed out thee,
the trairibeg term was too short, and
the certificate should be yalid during
good .behavior. Limiting certificates
to a short . period ,was the cause of the
lack of permanence in the teething
profession and of small salaries. The
teaching profession was , the fitting
ground in all professions.
The subject of the address was fur-
ther discussed by Messrs. Tilley, In-
spector Tom, G. W. Helmet), and S.
E. Beekett.
A :sheet interiniesion was then taken
af tee which Mr. J. 3, Tilley proceeded

dress was a splendid effort, brim full
of.practical and pointed hints to par-
ents on child training and ibs import-
ance in the formation of eharacter.

thirty eight years in one and his only
