Convention in the Town Hall, 73raeeete, on Wednesday, Deo. 80th, at 130 otolotk to nominate a candidate to oanteat the Biding in the forthcoming Dominion 13 eatiom. Each Polling aub•diviaion is entitled to eead five delegates, but all friends of the Liberal oanae are cordially invited to attend. Arch. Campbell, M. P., of York Co., Dr. MacDonald, M. P., and Arch. Hislop, M. 1', P., and others are expected to be present and address the Electors on the pnblio questions of the day. Meaux Cbrietmae to all our readers. ONCE more, by a kindly Providenoe, we are on the threshold of the glad anniver- sary of the birth of the world'e Redeem- er and many hearts will rejoioe that bis kingdom is growing in extent and power ae the years glide by eo silently, yet ewiftly. Christmas should mean more to us each year and as we give and reaeive gifts from earthly friends we should not lose eight of the beet gift presented by an indulgent Father to Hie often undutiful children. It will not be long before the earthly home gatherings will be gone forever ae far as we are concerned but if our duty ie done we may celebrate our Christmas -tides in our Father's Home and deet our crowns at our Elder Broth- er's feet and Drown Him Lord of all. The idea that, Christmas stands for either revelry or deviltry ie very foreign to the intent of observing this happy festival. A soarEwser unusual but nevertheleee praetioal temperance lesson was given a couple of youths from Wingham locality at a Court held before Judge Doyle at Goderich reoently. They bad appro. priated some wearing apparel from the front of a store and plead intoxication ae an exouee for their action. The Crown Attorney did not prase the oasa and the Jadge took the opportunity of addressing words of wisdom to the offenders that they will never forget and let them off on suspended eentenee on a promise from the young men that they. would forever eschew the flowing bowl. Several who were present in the Court room were greatly pleased with Judge Doyle's pre- eentmeot and believe veryjeinoerelylin the good that would accrue from enob whole. some advioe are compared with the often locular treatment of oases where people have been lead into trouble by forgetting that"Wine ie a mocker, &o." SAULT PTE. MARIE hae been li'erally getting it in the neck and following eo oloaely on the Clergne boom is all the more. noticeable. The last number of the Cosmopolitan points out that while Mr, Clergne has financed and floated some giant enterprises they have aimoat invariably "gone np in smoke" to the eetione lose and sometimes financial diesater of the trnetful etoakholder who was made to see "eoebeams in the encumber" by the enthusiastic and indomitable (Argue. Steady develop- ment le mooh safer than mushroom growth and this is an historical certainty. "Never venture,, never win" is an old adage with a measure of troth but it ehonld have ae its companion On many caoasions "A fool and bis money are aeon parted." In the majority of oases the abiding things we secure come to on by a slower route than the fabled King Midas golden touch. . Pewee of both political parties have expressed their appreoiation 01 the eloquent and furoible address delivered re0ently in Toronto by the veteran Sir Richard J. Cartwright. Although phyei• sally a oomp trative wreck, owing to rheumatism and iaareasing years, he proved very oonolneively that his mental vision was not beclouded and that be still held in hie grasp the undoubted ability to grapple with the great trade queebione with a master hand. Sir Richard is most eaaguine of the future of this great Dominion and prophesiee that although the past seven years have marked by no, equalled prosperity he eeee in the coming daye the growth and permanent develop. meat of our land to a degree that will no0vines the world that Canada atunde in the front rank for both moral and material program, The Knight of matbematioal demonstratfone allowed that in 1896 0, P.

The annual meetlugof the Llberel.Oon. servile() Association for Beet Huron was bald in the town ball Wingham ou Fri. day; large numbers of staunch Conser- vatives were in atteudanoe from every part of the Riding. Au impression had got abroad, and it was even stated in the local papers, that the meeting was in the nature of a convention to select a earl. dilate. The meeting was really oalled for the annual election of °Moers.

M. Sproule, M, P„ and David Hsu derma, M. P. The former speaker stated that East Huron should return a Conservative that the present representative regarded hie prospective election es urioertstil ; that he was anxiously seeking a more easily acquired position in the Senate. He scented defeat, and now wanted to eland from under. Mr. Rendersoo, after urging strenaone efforts on the part of all Conservative electors, referred to the dishonesty and injustice to the people of the Government in the Redistribution Bill, Every act of the present Government was dishonest and selfish in the extreme. Their deepio• able acts of uofairneas now beginning to recoil again ou them, and be firmly believed that the grand old riding of East Heron would return a Conservative member to she nest Dominion Perlis menu. The meeting in the evening was moat enthusiastic and evidenced the fact that the Conservative party of East Huron were determined to leave nothing undone to secure the election of whatever oan• dinate would be selected by the Doming convention, which will probably be held in Wiogbam at an early date.
