The Brussels Post, 1886-7-16, Page 1VOL. XIV BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1888. COMMUNIQATtON, ntegrnoofnl Row. To tholsldttor of Wrtr Yes•r, Dunn Sin, -I wish to inform you that our seotion of Turnberry street was dis- graced by ono of the most unseemly fights and the foulest language, late last Monday night, a long suffering community ever put up with. Two well-known residents of Turnberry and Queen streets got on the "hour" and wound up the day's proceedings in a rough and tumble fight, that lasted for several hours. They were so much intoxi- cated they hail to hold on to the shade trees to stand up, Their wives were present and tried to separate them and between oaths and toare a wild time was pat in. Tho lock-up should bo the lodging plans of such men. Mr. Editor, are the townspeople to be treated to auolt shameful exhibitions and be roused froth their eluntbers by these midnight debauchers? Why is not a oon- Stable appointed? You will oblige more than me by inserting this, Yours, ,¢c. July 18th, 1888. Tunhusxnur. 'Brussels Vetere' Lists, To the Editor of Ton Poam, Daeit Sre,-As several parties, headed by Connoillor Bather, are trying to make capital out of certain ladies' namee not be- ing on the Voters' List for this year and stating that it is my fault that they aro not on and that I should not have been ap- pointed. I may say that when I accepted the position I was determined to do my duty as clerk and have Bono so and will notwithstanding tho taiga statements to the ooutrery. It only shows their ignorance for had they react the law they would then have seen that it is the Assessor's fault in not assessing correctly, not nine. Tho following are the sections governing :-Sept. 0, sub -section 2, voters' list not, 1886. - "Tho Clerk of such Inunlcipatity shall im- mediately after the first revision Red cor- rection of the assessment roll, in every year, make a correct alphabetical list, in 8 parts, of all persons being of the full age of 21 years -and appearing by the assessment roll to he entitled to vote in the municipal- ity." Sub•seotion 8. -"Tho second part shall contain the names in alphabetical or- der of all other male persons not on part 1 and of all widows and unmarried women of full age and appearing on the assess - moot roll to be entitled to vote." &Dation 18 of Assessment Aot, 1885, is as follows :- "Sub -section 4, of section 12 of the said Act is hereby amended by adding after the words Column 8 occupation the words un- der case of females, a statement whether the party is a spinster, married woman or widow, by inserting opposite the name of the party the letter S., M. or W. as the ease may bo." Now, the last section was not complied with by the Assessor this year. Certain names were corrected at the Courtof Revision on appeal and ap- pear on the list. Now, I bavo to append the following certificate to the list "and that parts one and two oonatituto a correct list for the said year of all persons appear- ing on said roll to be entitled to vote at municipal elections in said municipality." (Not according to my knowledge but ea. cording to iaidroll). Now if any of your readers can explain after reading the seo- tions I have quoted how I could truthfully append such a certificate I will be happy to hear it. Respectively yours, F. S.

The 196th anniversaryof the battle of the Boyne was celebrated by the Loyal Orange Lodges and Young Briton Lodges of North Huron, in Wingbam, on Monday of this week. Oontrary to the cuatom of many years old Nature ensiled her prettiest and despite the dust, heat and inconven- ieneo of getting to Wingham thous- ands of people, old and young, as. semblecl to do honor to,fho immortal memory of King William. The town wore its holiday appear- ance with its flags, banners, bunting, arcbee, &c., and from early morning till late at night the streets were crowded with sight•eeers. In the procession, led by .Marshals Pettypiece and Davidson, were notic. ed the following L. 0. L.: -Nos. 170, 256, 844, 429, 459, 462, 498, 499, 560, 295, 681, 640, 774, 786, 798, 794, 815, 852, 868, 878, 898, 982, 968, 978, 990, 998, 1044, 1100, 1220 and 1828. In addition to the above mentioned thirty lodges there were 4 lodges of 0. Y. B's. viz. -11, 289, 248 and 457. The Ethel Lodges presented the beat ap- pearance, the members of the L. 0. L. wearing a jacket of navy blue with cross bars of whiteand the Briton's with their white shirts, rogalian and caps. For good marohing Brussels lodge took the load. After dinner the procession was formed again, headed by the Wing. ham brass band, and proceeded to the grove near the mill -dam, north of the railroad, after a short tour around - town. County Master Nethery took the chair and after a few introduot. ory remarks called upon .Rev. Mr. McDowell, of Wingham, to open the exercises with prayer. Before any speaking was done a collection, amounting to $80, was taken to aid the brethren in Ireland. Rev. D. 0. McDowell was the first speaker, and he made the speech of the day. He sold not only did we believe in this celebration but God believed in it. The day represents the principles of the Order. Soma people say these celebrations should be put down but he felt there was no such restraining power placed upon the Roman Catholics as where Orange. men exist. There were two princi- ples at work to -day, Protestantism and Catholicism. As Protestants we are branded as heretics and it is an impossibility to ever fairly reason the matter with them. We are op- posed to Catholicism on account of its greed. The Romish Mardi is not a unit, many of them have very advanced views of Purgatory and it it said there are eight degrees in that warmregion and the man with the longest puree gets the warmest place; while the poor man gets out the best way he can. Ho did not believe Saint Peter ever eat in the chair now occupied by the Pope, as from what can be ascertained of past history there was no such style of chairs in those days as the ono referred to. He did tot believe St. Peter was ever in Rome, St. Paul's mission was to Rome but Peter's to Jerusalem, Pet. er never refers to his being in Rome nor does the bible or ancient history make any reference to it, • If this is true Rome is without to head and for this reason Protestants object to it. In.1708 the oustom of kissing the Pope'* toe was brought in. In 1715 the worebip of images was introduced the Virgin Mary dieing their chief deity. Thoy cut out the 2nd Com, mandment and to make up for this deficiency they out the 10th in two, They object to the bible and near Montreal Wit a Ore of oolporatenr's bibles. They are it persoouting pec. plc. Who murdered the 100,000 in. nooent people on St. Bartholomew ? The 200,000 iu Ireland ? Who Worked up the rebellion of 1788 ? The Pope and the prioets of Rome did it. It 18 lmpossiblo to do any thing without the Pope's knowledge, owing to the confessional and abso. lution was readily obtained for the small offence of murdering a Pxotost. ant, The Roman Catholic system was founded in blood. Otangeism would never have had its birth had it not been tor the terrible scourging the Protestants received in the north NO. 2 of Ireland. The Roman-Oat/lollo r legion can't stand the light and it said Queen Mary dreaded the pray* of John Knox more than her wor enemy. Orengoism It never boo a persecuting society and was orgy izod tor mutual protection and th was their mission to -day. It 1,7nothing in Ireland for a Roman Call olio to murder a Protestant Burin the night, as they lay in wait fo them, and overpowered them bofor they had an opportunity of 508005in themselves. He objected to the Rom an Oatholic church because their MIno way of satisfying them. 2•h wanted a college to educate thei priests and they gat it. They wants separate schools, and they got them They wanted Oraugeism put down but they have not had their regime granted. Now they want Romo rule or Rome rule Popery has boon th eurso of every nation wherever it ex fisted. The Protestants of Ul8te shall not be put down. The mindsof Britatn, United States and Ger many rules the world and the bib: is the acknowiedged cause of Eng- land's greatness today. Wo rely on you being trustworthy. Stand to your principles and the world shall be free. Let your conduct to -day prove to the people that you are Orangemen at heart. Rev. Mr. Shaw, of Luokaow, was the second speaker. Hs said he was glad we had been spared through an- other year to meet together today and he was sure our sympathy was with our brethren across the wave. We have great reason to feel proud of our liberty. Nine months ago he had stood nn the walls of Derry and in memory lived over again the momor• able siege, The Roman Catholics were yet unsatisfied and still thiroted for Protestant blood. He knew what tyranny was. Here we had an open :tibio and freedom of thought but in Ireland the bible was a sealed boob and this is the chief (muse of the darkness in the old land. We ox - press our sympathy to the heroes who aro standing true to the British con• stitntion in Ireland and are with- standing the attempted eucroaoh. rnonts of Romo Protestantism in England, America and Ulster is the same and we waut to stand firm in our rights. He wished all who ad. voeatod Home Rule could get a glimpse of Ireland and knew the effect it would have upon them if it Were granted. Lot us be faithful to the cause of Protestantiem and pray that the shadow over Ireland may never fall across our pathway. , Rev. Mr. Cook, of Bluevale, felt honored at standing on the platform and have an opportunity of speaking a few words to the brethren present. Tueae red coats anti yellow ribbons mean something. Ile believed they showed the internal state of the heart. Orangemen did not celebrate the 12111 for au outing merely. We celebrate the 24th of May because it palls to our mind the birth of one of the beet women the world ever knew -Queen Victoria. We celebrate the let of July in honor of our beloved Canad- ian home, the land of oho maple leaf, and we celebrate the 12th bocause it was a greater day than either. King William lead fought for it and today we look back with pleasure as we en- joy the liberties we do and rejoice over the victory of the Boyne. He was not afraid of the Catholics in Ireland. There were two Irelands, Protestant and Papal. The one glia• tens with brightness the other ie dark- ness itself. You are representing the country King William fought for. and defended and there is a million ready to•dny to stand up and fight for Protestantism. He was not afraid of right Howe Rule for Ireland. Thorn is Home Rule in Ireland today, it is at tho heart of Protestant Ireland. We often depend more upon the memory of a man than upon his prin. aiples. Let us remember what we are and what our principles aro and let our watchword be onward for God, home and country. Rov, Mr. Smyth, of Brussels, said he had been aoouetomed to these days as he had come from the locality of the Cavan blazers, and although he did not woo the regalia outwardly he wore it inwardly. It Was remarkable that -so many 'thousands are today •oolebrating the 12111, simply because there is a history in connection with it that thrills u3 from centre to air- etlmferenee. God raised tip Britain to be a defender of the faith. One of the Apostloe sounded it first in tug, o• land. The Magna Charts gain is from King John was the centre•pi. rs of England's liberty. God has ag et and again thwarted the scbem n against the empire. You remember n• the invincible Armada, and the Gun - at powder Plot and how the winds of as heaven defeated the ono and the un. t- earthing of the dark design overthrew g the other. On your banners is the ✓ picture of King William, of immortal o memory, who came to fight for the g rights of England. God has been - ruling and is ruling still and He will s lead us to certain victory. There The are many reasons why this Associa- ✓ tion ought to stand. It has the bone d and sinew of the land. It recognizes God and your right to serve Him ao cording to the dictates of your own' t (*flamenco. There is -a charge upou , you to be true to your country, your e queen and your faith. Then you are • to love each other. In this you have ✓ an element that is strong and abiding. Serve say wo perpoturato old memories that would be better buried, but we e don't celebrate the day to stir up strife. We have aright to perpetuate that which has marked the history of the past. Ho hoped the Orange- men would respect themselves and their Order. Romanian: is not ad- vancing. Tho light of the 19th cen- tury is too strong for it and despite the fears of some people about Pro. tostautism ho predicted that the doom of the Roman Catholic power was written. We know what the inane will be, the armies that oppose the King of Kiuge cannot succeed. Cher• ish in your heart the memories of the grandest nation of the world, and if we can't have our rights, Dither at Ottawa or Toronto, we must speak out and see that we get what wo de. sire, The rev. gentleman closed hie address by stating that he would like to liyo to see hie Iordship, the Pope, buried. .He did not want the English church to bury him for they would "with a sure and certain hope of the general resurrection•" He did not want the Baptiste to do the work for they might use water and bring him to life. Nor would the Methodists do for they would likely hold a revival meeting over him. He would leave it to the Orangemen and they would probably bury him face downward so that if he did scratch out he would come out on the other side of the world. Rev. Mr. Carrie, of Duuganuon, was introduced next. He said he ap- peared as an Orangeman that had proved what it was worth in a country many miles away. He was proud of being an Orangeman, and proud of the Protestant drum. Our colors, &o. were a source of annoyance to the Roman Catholics today. No blame could be attached to the Ulster Orangemen for the recent riotiug and if they had been refectory it was be- cause of some good cense. It was the Pope who was asking for Home Rule in Ireland. He was not afraid of Inc Catholic element if the Pro. teabauts did their duty and stood by their principles. The reason the Orange Order stood was bogus e it was founded on right, not force. He advised sobriety and uprightness to bo their motto today. Rev. Mr. Edwards, of Wroxeter, was glad to bo present and help cele• brats the victory of the Boyne. He was not discouraged for at the very heart of Oabholioism there was dsoay and whou it weakens at !tome the fruit will soon fall. Ho had been an Orangeman aim ho was 10 years of age and it was his delight in years past to atand by the drum with the dram stinks iu his hands. God is with us, let us look rip. The time is coming when the flag of England will float over all nations. Be tree to your Order. He hoped God's bless• ing would follow the large assam- blogs, The prooessiou was then rs.formsd and d to the market square Where the nano' patriotic ebo®re were given and the day's proceedings form- ally closed. NOTES. The G. T: R. Go. should be asham- ed of the miserable arrangement of trains for tho day, The morning train from the south had the usual load of freight care and about half enough passenger cars. They had to go bull after the Bluevalo contingent. 'Then at night the Mea of keeping thousands of people hanging around a station platform. for two or three hours waiting for additional passeng• er oars. The G. '1', R. Co. are "dim ed Iin dies" and the Orangemen should give eoe them a medal with a holo in 11. We cblame the Orangemen for this poor es arrangement as they aro strong enough in North Huron to make bet- ter berms. -Over 000 people went from Brussels to Wingham.--The ar- rangements for the day in Wingham were poor and a groat many things left undone that should not have been, -We do not bold the Order respone. iple for all the men under the influ- ence of "auti Scott." They have no more to do with it than any other society on the day of their celebra- tion. -The hotels and eating houses did a big businosa.-The Ethel and Bluevalo bands were preeent and acid. pd largely to the pleasure of the day. -Thera was a good deal of "billing and cooing" on the homeward trip, - The duet was very troublesome in the march. -In this day of brags bands we fancy it would be a big improve- ment to give them first plane as far as music is concerned and allow the big drum to take a rest. -The How - ick lodges celebrated tete day at Ford wioh. e0UT11 utuRON ORANGEMEN. The celebration of the 106th an- niversary of the Battle of the Boyne at Exeter was in every respect a grand success. Seven brass bands and a large number offifes and drums, and 42 lodges took part in the prooession, anti over ten thousand people witness. edit. Tho speeches in Bir. Piokard'e grove were listened to with the great- est interest. H. A. L. White, of St. Marys, Grand :Master of the Western District, • occupied the chair. The principal speakers were Rev. 'Messrs. Robinson, McDonagh, Simpson, Gra. ham, Bridgman and bIartin, The. village was attired in a holiday garb. There were four magnificent arches and bunting, and flags in profusion. i5verything passed off pleasantly, and thetionpooplo. of Exeter aro justly proud of the great snocees of the eelebra• C wnrLdimn News. A *thee' assembly of the Knights of Labor was organized at St. Oath. crines on Wednesday evening of last week. A Oanada mail bag from the wreck- ed Oregon has been found on the coast of Georgia, Smallpox has been entirely stamp- ed out in the district of Donald, B. C., and of the Selkirk. The statue of Joseph Brant is to arrive at Brantford from England about August 21. Rollo is given in the Official Ga- zette that application will be made at the next session of Parliament for an Ant incorporating a company to build a railway from Simooe to Pt. Rowan. George Braider, of Jarvis, has fall- en heir to $100,000 in hard Dash and a large amount of real estate in Eng- land. Mr. Raider is working as boss carpenter on a large refrigerator now being built at Jarvis. He will finish the work before going to .England to take possession of his windfall. Gabriel Dumont is one of the at- tractions of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, now exhibiting on Staten Is- land. After the opening overture, Buffalo Bill, mounted on an Indian pony, calls in review order at the: gallop six companies of Indiand, rs• presentive of different warlike tribes. Each band has a chief. When about half way through the review, the de- lineator, in a voids disbinetly beard all over the tweuty aures of ground, intimates that he has the honer to iatroduoe the lieutenant of Riot iu the Northwest rebellion, a rune of ability and courage, who oulistaci iu what he and many others believed was a righteous manes. Immediately the rod flag is waved as the signal and away at the farther end of the grounds from amongst a horde of ,Indiana emerges the portly figure of Gabriel Dumont, Mounted on an In. (lien pony, that brings blm down the course at the gallop, with the buzsao oftwenty thousand spectators ringing in his ears, As Gabriel engages in no other part of the entertainment it is clear his name is part of the adver. tieing department of the show. A press correspondent found him iu his tent quietly smoking a clay pipe filled With tabs* Canadian, leo shook hands cordially. Ko. says bo will re-• eeive pallors on thte.side of the lino for the present. Gabriel wears his Moi hunting equipment. His boa d is silvered with gray, and he pines for his ilortle on the llasltatohewati.
