2Oi1'ED•
I The East .Huron Liberal Convention
ta,inounee'd to be held in the Town Hall,
trrussele, on Saturday of this week has
sen postponed until Good Friday, April
d, owing to the inability of Dr.y.12oDon•
ild and other speakers to leave Ottawaou
the first date, Addresses are expected
from the well known D. C, Fraser, M. P.,
tf Nova Scotia ; A. Campbell, M. P., of
ant Co..; Jas. McMullen, M, P,, Wel-
iingtou, and the membere of the Riding,
Dr McDonald and T. Gibson, There
will likely be an evening meetiug as well
as one in the afternoon. Tilers should
he a large attendance.
WnAT are the eleetore 01 this Dominion
receiving for the large expenditure
of money in keeping Parliament in
session at Ottawa for months and doing
nothing ?
Ws would have more faith in the Do.
mini.,n Parliament putting Prohibition
legislation on the statutes if they closed
up the saloon in the House of Commons.
ENGLAND is likely to take a hand in the
Italian—Abeynnia war in relieving the
former. The notion is Bail to be done in
the interests of British possessions in
Africa whiuh will be endangered if the
blanks gain the supremacy. Flamm le
not any too well pleased at the action of
England.
Junenee by the evideuee taken before
the Committee appointed by the Local
Le,'isleture concerning the maintenance
of Governmeat House that institution
will be compelled to support itself. Why
Ontario should be asked' t., contribute
thous,,nds of dollars annually to enable
the Lig-nt.•Governor to entertain a 1 w
hundred tri-tocrats is a conundrum that
should be easily solved. This appears to
be the chief reason put forward for the
continuance of the present arrangement
ana in toe wean to stand without crutebes.
We say let the Lieut. Governor, and the
Goveruar•General too, keep ep their real -
derives the same es other people do and
perhape Moro economy would then be
practiced by them. The London Adver-
tiser says en the subjeut :—Au inquiry is
on foot et Toronto regarding the uontin-
uan'.e of Government House as a Pruvin.
cial Institut' .n. A number of prominent
society leaders have been examined, and
there seems to be a onion of sentiment on
their part that it ie well to provide the
Lientenant.Geeernor with a mansion and
spacious ;;rounds, the maintenance of
which every year takes a good round sum,
beanee the Lieutenant -Governer gives
parties to prominent visitors. This, it is
argued, is it benefit. to the province, be.
cause it advertises the Lieutenant Gover-
nor as a hospitable individual.
LAURIER'S GREAT SPEECH.
Tag POST issues a supplement contain.
ing the eiaeeeh of the Hon. Mr. Laurier on
the ]Manitoba school question, in which
he not only frankly deals with the whole
question, but also gives unanswerable
reasons why the proposition of the coor-
cionist government should be defeated.
He concludes his eloquent and patriotic
address by moving that the bill be given
the six months' hoist, which simply
means that the measure will be forthwith
kill nl The following extracts from
Liberal, Conservative and Independent
newspapers show the feeleng of the
country towards the great Liberal leader:
Montreal Witness: The whole country
has been completely taken by surprise
by the bold course taken by the Opposition
in the Besse of Commons. Mr. Laurier
has from the first proved himself a farm
and fearless leader, and everyone expected
that he would attempt the defeat of the
Bill by an amendment an favor of an in-
vestigation as a accessary precedent to
legislation Bat the leader of the oppos-
ition, deubtless after taking couneel with
his party, determined to make the most
aggressive attack upon the government's
position, and has taken the course best
calculated to secure the defeat of the bill,
though that course is one which demands
the exercise of all the courage which the
exercise of all the courage which comes of
devotion to civil and religious liberty to
enable many of the membere of his party
to follow him in it,
Winnipeg Tribune :--What shalt be
said of the noble courage involved in the
position token by Hon. Mr. Laurier 7
AL
inc stride he has risen to a position of
sett eminence in the country that ho
oven:bedews other statesmen m the
arena,
Toronto World :—Mr. Laurier made
the effort of hie life in the way of n bid
Inc popular support. IIe came squarely
out against the measure and moved the
six menthe' hoist. His bid for the sup•
port of Ontario and the Pratestaut veto
will, wo imagine, add to his strength in
the country, and his bold note of defiance
in reply to the threat of the him:arally
will help to make of him a popular hero
all over the country, even in his own
province.
Toronto .Sitar t—''The talk of toeltouse
is the wonderful eloquence and power of
Mr,. Lanrior's speech," and "the six
menthe' hoist motion was so unexpected,
but it was such a square dual that all
anti romedialists must support it,"
Toronto Globe ;—It would have been
cagy for Mr. Laurier to eater to those
who like to see, the Boman Catholic clergy
put on the spit. He is not time man to
yield to so unworthy temptation. He 410,
what wes needed, however, to remind
those who threatened hint that the public
man has a responsibility not only to his
own ooneeience, lint also to the thoueands
of citizens who have reposed in him great
civil trusts and .material interests of the
highest moment. From Bret to last he
spoke the mind of Canadian Liberalism,
and the enthusiasm of his parliamentary
following will be eohoed by the liberal
minded man from seaboard to seaboard.

TUB AQk1CULTUOAL COMMON,
The number of students at the Ontario
Agrionleural College in 1890 was 260-
150 in the general course and 100 .in the
dairy woheel. Of those in the general
course, (meetly 80 per cent,—neatly all
farmer's sons—were £roan the Province
of Ontario. Six of the 100 dairy students
were non-residents—four from Quebec
and the eastern Provinces, one from the
United States, and one from Wales.. Of
title number, 45 wore free students.
COUNTY COUNCILS.
Hon. Mr, Hardy has introduced a Bill
to provide for reducing the number of
members of County Councils, wbieh will
take the place of the one first introduced
and already noticed. It is proposed to
Carry this measure through this session
and give it effect on the first of January
nest Its effect on the lounty of Huron
will be as follows ;—Reeves and Deputy
Reeves will, for the present, continue to
be elected as formerly, but they will have
only the duties asstgued to them now
in their local councils, and will have
nothing to do with County affairs, The
County Council will be composed of 10
members instead of 61, as now, and 'hese
will be elected from 8 districts designated
as 1st, 2nd, &e. The districts will be laid
out by a commission of four county
court judges, and, in forming the county
couucil districts the cominission shall,
as far as may be practicable, have regard
to population, assessed value and extent
of territory, and shall not, in making
such division, divide local municipalities
unless where in the opinion of the com-
mission it is plainly necessary so to do in
order to arrive at a fair and reasonable
division, or where public convenience
will be clearly served by moth divisions.
Two members are to be elected from
each district at the same time as the
municipal elections are held and are to
hold oilice for two years, the two being
thus elected every other year. Nomina-
tions, signed by 25 electors, are to be
sent to the County Clerk, before the 1st
of December in any year. The County
Clerk is to supply ballots and other
papers to the local municipal officers,
and where there is a contest for local
councillors the local municipality pays
the expenses of the polling and where
there is no looal contest the County pays
the expenses of the polling for county
councillors. Any voter may give his
two voles for two different candidates in
the district or he may give bath votes for
one candidate by placing two crosses
opposite his name No voter shall vote
for county councillors more than once in
any district, and if be resides therein, in
the municipality where he resides. A
candidata must be a resident of his lis
trict and have the property qualifications
now required of the Reeve of it town.

The following information bearing on
Armenia and its massaores will be of
interest :—Armenia was naturally 0
most fertile land, the birth place of the
rivers which fertilized the Garden of
Eden. Its inhabitants aro a sutierior
type of the Caucasian race, originally
strong and independent, after passing
through many vicissitudes, in 1004 Shah
Abbas laid the whole country waste,
banishing 40.000 of its inhabitants to
Persia. Since then the people have
largely been under Turkish misrule and
despotism. They are being crashed
tinder the upper er and nether millstones of
Turkish and Kurdish perseaotion. The
Kurds number about one and a -half mil.
lion and are largely banditti. The
Armenian church is of the same govern-
ment as the English oburoh though un.
reformed ; it dates back at least to the
4th century. To account for the satanic
persecutions we must understand the
great crime of the Armenians is they
will not give up the Cnrist for Mohan.
et. They will not embrace that false
religion which Canon Liddon has char
aaterized as "That stunted and immoral
caricature of the religion of the one true
Goll." Secondly, largely through the
representations of Britain, certain re.
forms for his Christian subjeote were
conceded by the Czar. It is noteworthy
that in the very provinces where these
reforms were conceded the massacres
occurred Titus the Sultan virtually
said "I will concede these reforms, but
yon shall never live to enjoy them"
Thirdly, the Christian subjects of the
Sultan in Asia Minor are about three
and a half million, while the followers
of the false prophet number probably 17
million 'rhe latter are unprogressive,
and without either the capacity or the
anergy for commercial enterprise, while
the Armenians possess both of these
qualifications. Trade therefore. is large-
ly in the hands of the Christians. This
is galling to the Turks. In the fourth i
placer, after centuries of the most her.
rible persecutions and oppressions the
Armenians have tried with success, to
attract the attention and sympathy of
Christian nations, This has melded in
the heart of all 7lfoltannneclans in Turkey,
hath Sultan and people, These com-
bined reasons have led to the naassa0rne
which have slinaked the Christian world.
Without rcforriug to previous centuries
the number massacred in recent years, is
in 1822, 50,000 ; in ;1850, 10,000 ; in 1810,
11,000 ; in 1870. 12,000. New 135,000
men, women and ', children have been
slain, mutilated for' life, violated or ore
starving. No greater contrast,
could be given of the difference
between Mohammedanism and Christi-
anity, than the command of Jesus
Christ "Love your enemies, do good to
them that persecute you," and the fellow.
ing Mohammedan prayer. If any one
referred to any excesses ever wrought in
the name of Christianity, ib mast bo
borne in mind that these were directly
contrary to the teaching and creed of
Christ while the Mohammedan atrocities
were commanded by Mohamot and the
Mohammedan religion, "0, Lord of all
croaking 1 0 !Allah 1 Destroy the
infidels and Polytheists, thine enemies,
