THURSDAY, AVG. 81, 1899.
IN Premier Laerier'o Western tour of
this Province it le expected that he will
visit Wingbam and address a meeting.
He will be accompanied by a couple of
the Oabiuet Ministers, The Premier
haft favorite wherever he goes and be is
sure of a royal reoeptionin Huron. Date
and other partieulare will be annonnoed
later.
De. MODONALn, M. P., will hold a
short series of meetings in East Huron
in the near fatnre at whish he will dis-
cuss the work of the session of Perlia -
anent just closed, and answer questions
relative toG;overnmental affairs. This
is a very proper thing to do and no doubt
the electors generally will avail them.
selves of this opportunity to better
acquaint themselves with the doings of
our rulers.
11'fANITORA and the Norbbweet ie being
blessed with a rich and bountiful har-
vest and the thousands of Outarione who
bave gone West, to aid in gathering io
the golden grain, cannot fail to have
favorable impressions of that wonderful
land. The Dominion of Canada is highly
favored from ocean to ocean and there is
abundant reason for thanksgiving. Tbie
hem been a great year for materis' pros.
parity and on all sides may be Been many
evidences of it. Daring this Fall oppor-
tunity will be given people to exprees
their tbankfulnese in a praotioal manner
in connection with the 20th Century
Thanksgiving Fund and the expectations
are that a hearty reponse will attend the
call.
Now that the little system of water.
workt le completed 'and has proven so
satisfactory by the experimental taste,
we would advise the Council anotber year
to extend the water pipes a oonple of
blocks further South on Turnberry street,
and thou with an arrangement made
with the electric light proprietor, con.
nection could be made with the engine
at his power house and an effective plan
completed that could be ready at any
hour to reach a large portion of Bruseels
located South of the Maitland river.
The water pipes can be put in cheaper
than new fire hose out be purchaeed and
the former is a permanency while one
lire or teet may buret from $10 to $25
worth of the latter. With sash an ar.
raugement as outlined above, the Fire
Engine could be permanently located at
some point et the river where it would
be ready for operation without the neces-
sity of a long haul in rase of emergency.
With the present efficient fire protection
and the eolidity of the business portion
of Brants the e rate of tics luau

ative wages and therefore stated a few
weeks ago the desirability of meeting the
Coleman Estate in some business like
proposal iu rare'enoe to the rebuilding of
the Enterprise Salt Works at the G. T.
R,, or some better plan if feasible. There
is another side to the gaestion, bowever,
and it is this :—A large proportion of
table and dairy salt, if not all, handled
by this firm is masufaotured io and
shipped from Bruesele yet we ars not
recognized in any shape or form by label
or advertisement an bag, box or barrel,
in many instances Seaforth having the
credit for the output. This may appear
e, email matter to the firm, whose head-
quarters are Seaforth, but it has a detri.
mental efface, upon our town in the ayes
of the outside world and should in fair.
nese to Brussels be rectified. E. 0. Cole-
man, one of the firm, expeote to attend a
meeting of our Oonnoilebortiy, we under-
stand, and it would not be out of plaee
for the Reeve to call his attention to this
point. If the article exported were in•
ferior or second grade there would not be
the carne olaim but in view of the super.
iority of the salt and the large and 000-
etant shipments it becomes a matter of
some importance to Bruese'e to have its
goad name established among the dealers
at a dietanoe.
TRE West Huron Dominion election
'enquiry is rapidly degenerating into a
mud-elinging bee between the party news-
papers. "Oireumstancee alter oases" is
an old and well established maxim and
has proven true in this partioolar, The
evidence of Deputy Returning Officer
Farr was all that was required, from an
Opposition standpoint, to place the moat
crooked kind of work on the Liberals and
he was quoted fat and near as a man
willing to do anything to aid the election
of R. Holmee, the nominee of the
Government party, Well, Mr. Farr sees
fit to speak and says he voted for Mr,
McLean, the Conservative candidate and
allowed his ballot to town Clerk Mitcbe)l,
of Godetioh, also a well known Coneerva-
tiVe. Now the sugar is turned into salt,
the bogey bsoomes vinegar and Mr. Parr
is marked down as a wicked ptevarioator.
It aserrre to ne that the investigation at
lttawaueneerning West Egret) wag a duo
,picas 6f "rot," garlanded with tbOneanda ins
of,dollarg ot.elfpense, and proved virbuelly pri
uothing. The country has no business to
be saddled with these holidaying outings
for West Huron electors or those 0f any
other Riding, If there le evidence of
wrong doing the election oonrte are open
to those who feel aggrieved where ample
opportunity would be afforded to laveeti•
gate but the necessary cash deposit has to
be made. West Huron electors naw the
capital, lived high and had all their ex•
pensee paid and whet the most of the
witnesses didn't know w0uldlill a big book.
The promoters of the so mulled inveett-
gahion might well sing,
"There is n happy land
Farr, Farr away ;
It seemed so near at band
Now Farr away,
We told our story true
Did our beet to melte it blue
Bro. Farr gave us the slew

We don't condone crookedness on the
part of Liberals in West Huron or else.

San be hung he must be proven guilty,
