citation of depositing the funds, for Al-
though I don't profess to bo an authority
in the etiquette governing sporting con,
testa, yet I have always understood that
it is "the money that talks." Would it
not have been more in line had he -offered
115000 to any 0110 who could prove that
he had spoken in favor of Mr. Dickinson
against Dr. McDonald from a public
platform or to anyone who could prove
that he had poreietently interrupted a
Liberal speaker at a meeting during the
campaign to such an extant that some of
the electors felt that ho would Have been
properly treated had he been quietly re-
moved from the meeting ; or to au ono
who could prove that he was present at
organization meetings and political
callouses and took an active part therein
in the interest of the Conservative candi-
date ; or lastly, to any one who could
prove that he has been a strong political
partizan ever since he Dame to this vil-
lage ? Had he made all or any of these
offers, or if he will amend his challenge
in either of the above respects and "put
up the stuff" (I would not have him for-
get that) then doubtlose ho will experi-
ence little difficulty in getting hundreds
of "takers." Our postmaster well knows
that personal canvassing, like personal
bribery, is most difficult to prove and it
would seem that active and offensive
partizanship has been defined to mean
engaging publicly in a political campaign,
by taking the stumps, &o., rather than
induojng voters in a quiet, inoffensive
way by personal canvass, and it is to the
former plass that the Hon. Wilfrid Laur-
ier says he "will give the fullest oppor-
tunity of pursuing thoir p0lftfcal aweaa-
tions," I may add fu olosiug that I
think our postmaster is simply endeavor-
ing, by his challenge, to divert enquiry,
or 1n other words to "draw the herring
across the scent." Yours Truly,

In Morrie England,
Bel'. Jas. Harris' Wanderings in
Anetelt Plaeos.
To the Editor of Tail Posa'
;—
DEMI Sm,—Cur etay thus far in Eng•
land has been all we could have deeired.
Mrs, Harris, though far from well, is
gradually improving. The weather was
almost constantly fine until September
sot in, .eines then it has been very
showery and uncertain. Our plans are
for the future laid out something like
this :—On the 18tH we go to Birming-
ham for a week ; 25th, return for the
week end to Leamington 1Tuesday,
29th, Crewe and Alsager, iu Stafford•
shire ; Friday, pat. and, Runcom and
Manchester ; Oct. 7th, sail for New
York by SS. Majestic. May stay •6i11
after Sunday there and rettuu to Guelph
about the 20th of October, but as the
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Savage will sail with
us and we expect to journey together from
New York, our movements after our ar-
rival there will be modified by their in
tensions. Ib would be impossible for me
in this letter to give your readers any-
thing like a full account of England as
seen by us on this visit. Kent was a new
country to us, yet remarkable for its an-
tiquities, its picturesque scenery, its hop
gardens, its watering places and especial-
ly for its ' capital, Oanterbury, which
ranks as the ecclesiastical capital of all
England, the See of its first Archbishop.
We visited, while staying at Whitstable
with Mrs. Harris' brother, Ramsgago,
with its broad eands and sea beach,
crowded with tens of thousands of visit-
ors, and its beautiful pier. Tho whole
town was owned by the late Sir Moses
Montefoire, whose princely mansion and
estate was pointed out to u6, Townley
House, where Her Majesty spent her
youthful years, was also shown us.
Broadstairs, two miles distant, was once
the home of Charles Dickens, and the
lone house whence emanated some of his
most remarkable novels is a most con-
spicuous object. Margate, Westgate and
Hearn Bay are each beautifully built, on
the 00a shore and attracting crowds of
visitors every Summer. Then we celled
at Sittingbourne, where we found our
friend, .Mrs. Wm. Read, nee Miss Ada
Read, waiting for 118 at the station. She
conducted no through a busy town of
narrow streets to her beautiful new home
"Sunny Knoll," and found her very happy
and motive as a church worker, as .well as
in domestic life. Mr. Read spent the
day in showing us the brick and paper
factories for whioh the town is celebrated.
We spent a never•to-be•forgotten day at
Canterbury. Here we met and conversed
for some time with the celebrated Dean
Farrar, who seamed pleased to know that
we in Canada admired his oharaoter as a
bold as well as eloquent preacher, a
staunch advocate of temperance and a
beautiful writer. The great Cathedral,
the St. Augustine (foliage, e t Dane
g g
the ae
Jahn, a celebrated walk, but especially
the venerable church of St. Martin were
visited with great interest. This, St.
Martin's, is the oldest ohuroh in Eng-
land, probably in Europe. The time
when the very church in which we stood
was built is lost in antiquity. 10 dates
possibly to the second century. It was
used as an oratory by Queen Bertha, and
in it her royal husband, King Btbelbert
was baptized by St. Augusbme in 570,
1,300 years ago. The stone feat is still
in as place at which he knelt to receive
the rite. Who could stand wlthiu the
walls of such a building and not think
of the wondrous changes and triumphs of
the Christian faith siaoe the foundations
of these walls were laid by the primitive
inhabitants of those early days ? Leam-
ington, the next place we visited, is
probably the 04001 elegantly built and ap-
pointed town in England. Here they
have au oak true fenced round, said to
be the exact centre of England. War-
tviolt, celebrated for its castle, the resi-
dence of the duke of that name, and his
Countess, celebrated for her beauty and
wealth ; Stratford, the birthplace of
Shakespeare, and his resting place too ;
Stoneleigh, the home of Lord Leigh,
whose perk of 500 acres surrounds a
magnificent palace of out stone, embower-
ed in a wealth of flowers and shrubs, and
furnishes abundant cover for game of all
kinds and pasturage for hundreds of
deer as well mg sheep and cows ; and the
numerous other romantic and beautiful
places around the centre of England in-
vite the tourist to prolong hie stay that
he may feast his eyes with the loveliness
of its rustic lanes, its fields framed in
hedges of green hawthorn, its straw.

the wIMI hue of the red -tiled 'roofs, its
gardens which taste and skill have trim-
med and onitivated, and the interest
which over lingers about its Gothic

of many past generations. From this
town we wont back to Liverpool to at-
tend the sessions of the Wesleyan Con.
feronoo, While there we received an in,
vitation to au "at home" given by the
Lord Mayor, who is tho Earl of Dotty,
at tho aim buildings. The building is
one of the finest in the city, and the

stock; John S. Pearce, London, and R.
M, Ballantyne, Stratford. The list of
speakers for the annual oonventioo to be
held at Brantford on January 19, 20 and
and 21 was arranged. Ex•Gov. Hoard,
of Wisconsin, will be present and J. H.
Monrad, of Illinois, is also expected.
Among the prominent Canadian speakers
will be the Han. Mr. Fisher, Dominion
Minister of Agriculture, Toronto ; Prof.
Robertson, 9grioulteraland Dairy Com
enieeioner, Ottawa, and Prof. Dean, of
the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
There will be a special session devoted
to disonesions on practical cheese and
batter making, at which papers will be
read by praatioal makers. The cheese -
branding bill will also come up for dis-
cussion. Theprogramwill therefore be
of a thoroughly practical and interesting
character, and dairymen should avail
themselves of it. Arrangements were
made to have Inspector Millar, after his
work of inspection rs over, spend the bal-
ance of the year in visiting ae many fane
tortes es possible and give inetruotion to
the makers as to the proper temperature
to be observed and the proper conditions
to be maintained in order- to cure the
cheese. As itis very desirable that Mr.
Millar should visit those factories where
his services are moat needed, cheese -
buyers and others whose business takes
them among the factories will greatly aid
this work by notifying the Secretary of
the assooiation or Mr. Miller of factories
that are in apeoial need of instrnotion in
oaring their cheese. Instructor Muir
will continue to visit the syndicate fac-
tories for several weeks yet. Atter the
making season is over he will give special
attention to the curing of the cheese in
the syndicate faoboriea. If possible, ar-
rangements will be made to have some
expert judges of cheese visit all the syn-
dicate factories before the season is over
and report as to the quality of the cheese
made and the workicg of the scheme for
more uniform instrtmtion and inepeotion.

I visited your new Hook and Ladder

dared your town fora far better outfit,

Extinguisher complete, added, $300. This
Spring we nenewed the offer, took Mr.
Sperling into our shops, showed him our
ladders made totally different and very
much more reliable thou those yon have
got. Oar Extension Ladders are hoisted
by rope and pulley roller, with brass box-
ing each side and steel dogs, and while
going np have attached permanent guy
poles with Lowmoor turned swivel joints,

of Douglass Fir, imported from B. 0.,

besides are made totally different to se.

You might as well compare a small hand
engine with our modern fire steamers, as
compare the respective ladders of yours
and other—yours $260, ours 9250. Your
pall down book is not as massive the it
ought t0 be and there is no appliance
whereby men can hook it onto a burning
building unless the teen are fire proof, all
of which is fully provided for in our
better and stronger appliances, En the

Sparling and gave him a copy of oucloeed

at yours and you will say ouch an order
