If the loss of - that Province ' would save the building of that part of the Pacific Railway, we could well at - ford to suffer the less. We are rather dubious, however, of the sincerity of ' these threats of secessiou. The British Columbiana have proven thenssolves capable of looking after number one, and they have sense en.ough to know when they are well off. They never were so well provided for as they have been since they joined the union, and they never would be again were they to leave it. We are inclined to• the opin- ion, therefore, that these threats of se- cession are not made in good faith, but are simply put- forth - with a view of squeezing a little more out of the Do- , minion treasury, and when they accom- plish their purpose, as they very likely will, we won't hear any more of an- nexation to the United States until they run, short of funds again, and want to make another - pull to replenish their exhausted exchequer, -Unfortunately, Ontario is the teat from which the greatest share of the milk- must be drawn.

P. for Centro Huron, will address his constituents at Brussels, on the evening of Friday, Oc- tober 3rd, commencing at 7 o'clock, in the Town Hall. Mr. Thos. Gibson and ether prominent members of the party will also he preseut and take part in the proceedings. Let there be a rous- ing meeting. It is also expected that Mr. Cart- wright will visit Seaforth and deliver an address on the political questions of the day to his constituents in this part of the riding. The date of the Seaforth meeting has not yet been definitely fixed, but it is expected it will be on the 6th or 7th of October. We will be in a position. to make a definite announce- ment next week. • British Columbia. British Columbia, has got up its back and threateos to secede from the Con- federacy and join the United States. It threatened this once or twice before, but by some means it became cnolified. Although not a very large or important child ,of the Dominion, if is a very ins- • portunate and greedy one. Before it would submit to adoption, it had to be promised a good deal more than it was worth. These promises haVe not been fulfilled, for the simple reason of the utter inability of the Dominion to re- deem them. They were made in haste, and those in whose behalf they were made have since had abundance of cause for repentance at their leisure. The British Columbiana were promised by Sir John, when they joined the Do- minion; that the Pacific Railway ,would be built through their Province within ten years. When Mr. Mackenzie came into power he found it necessary to modify this promise. For this they turned against hitn, and threatened not f s only- to annihilate his Government, bet to secede in a body. Although he never succeeded in securing their phlitical support, Mr. Mackenzie got thena so far • pacified as• to postpone annexation to the States. In the course of time Sir John came to the surface again. No sooner did. he reappear to -view, than the good people of the Pacific Province took him to their booms, and. carried him off in triumph to their own land, and made him a representative of one of their own constituencies. They were then more than sure that their hopes wordd be realized. But, alas ! for human expectations, they are doom- • ed to disappointment once more. Sir John is not going to be able to do any • more for them than Mr. Mackenzie did, notwithstanding his Profuse promises. They are again "riled," and they again threaten to secede. The great misfortune is, that British Colunabia was made an unreasonable • promise, a promise which they should hive had sense enough to know wee impossible of fulfilment. They have used that promise as a lever with which to extraet from the Dominiop.. more than what they are iu equity entitled to, and, even should they secede, the Dominion would. not be much the poorer. In fact, it woulcl be as well to give them all the possible encourage- ment to pack up and travel. So long as that Province remains in the Do- nainiou, just so long will the Dominion lase threatened with the ruinous expense • of building the Pacific Railway through its inhospitable and barren lands. But if it secedes, all necessity for extending this road beyond the confines • of the Northwest Territory will be at an end. To construct the road further than Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the meantime, would be folly, but though foolish it will no doubt be attemped if British Columbia, remains a Province of the Dominion. Wo could buil h the road that far without seriously crippling our -- selves, ECrul the traffic it would 'secure would aid, in no srna.11 degree, to defray the expenses of working it. But, to carry out the original plan, and to ex -a • tend it through British Columbia by would. be simply ruinons, and. it is to an.d be hoped that money for that purpose dini will not be got. We believe those now Lon in power would be reckless enough to bankrupt the country for the sake of securing political support. It is grati- fying, therefore, to know that although they have the will to accede to the de - mends of British Columbia they have not the _means, as they cannot, in the meantihne, borrow the money to carry (int the scheme. But the time may come when they can do so, and it is for fear that this time may come during the rule of these reckless men, that We "Gush." "The return of two of the Ministers, one charged with the cere of our finances and the other with the prose- cution of our great uational work, the Pacific Railway, finds them in a better position than ever to congratulate themselves on the present condition of the greatObjects committed to their care. Even in the short time which has elapsed since they left Canada for England, a change has come over the aspect of affairs. They went away be- fore the harvest had conapletely de- th veloped its -richness, and they return to an find itesozich and arbufida,nt as to ren- m der the hearts of the Opposition sad, all tr •THE HURON EXPOSITOR. fed upon "pap," and the public, at least that part of it which form their opin- ions upou what they read in the Minis- terial press, are made to believe that black is white, and that everything is lovely whether it is or not. Of course thee horrid, -vulgar Grits growl and complain, but, then, it don't matter much just now what ,they say. With their low, grovelling, economical tastes, they don't know what's good for a coun- try.

TREACHEROUS AMEER.—It is DOW veal in the best informed circles dia that the Ameer is undoubtedly mplicity with those who commut- e assault upon the British . em - at Cabul, if he is not guilty of having directly instigated the affair himself. Facts pointing in this direc- tion are coming in possession of the English authorities. The pretended imprisonment of the Ameer is believed to havebeen resorted to for the purpose of deceiving the British as to his loyalty to them. If is held there can be but little question of his secret association and communication with Rusiian agents for the purpose of organizing a combined defence of Russians and Af- ghans against the English troops. The struggle will now probably be between the British columns and the entire Af- ghan strength, headed by the Ameer himself.

Salt is -cheap here t end sand costs nothing, and sonae of our g Canadian hide doctors are as expert in -• u these things to increase theweight of hi ere as the Jews are said to be in /milling gold coin for the dust they eX- tract, and of the two characters the hide doctor is the most disrepntable. have gothold of hides from sense ofthese parties so filled. with sand that they would turn the edge of tanners tools every five minutes. A hide Inspector is much wanted in this County. Re- spectfully yours. • W. G. SMITH, Tanner. Goderich, Sept. 12, 1879. low globe wurtzels, John Copeland.

The Toronto Telegram thus exempli- fies the evil effects of allowing children to have too much of their own The act of the West Winchester mu. deter who struck down his father ana sister in cold blood was a peculiarly horrible one, and one for which there seems to be no reasonable explanation. It is said. that the parricide was a wil- ful young man, who had always been allowed to have his CWIl way—that, in fact, he was a spoiled child. The same thing was said of Gerald. Mainwaring, the young man who killed one police- man. and wounded auother near Derby t not long_ ago, and for which he was sen- - tenced to death, the sentence being al- terwards commuted to imprirsontnent . or e. His father was a wealthy man, and young Mainwaring had always been allowed to have his own way- The di- voreed. wife of Newman Hall, the great Ldtelon preacher, was another spoiled child,. and so was Mrs. Sprague, whose name was so prominently mentioned in connection with, the Sprague-Conkling difficulty the other day. Spoiled till's dren do not, of course, always turn eut badly; but it is evident that children who are pampered and petted. and allowed to do as they please when they are young, are often very difficult to keep in check when they are not so young. That Reaping Trial—Mr. Stan- bury's Version. To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. DEAR Sin.—in the issue of your val- uable paper dated Sept. 12, I see a let- ter written, or supposed to have been written, at least signed, by "Stewart & McCully." In this letter, those writing the same make Certain assertions. As to all, I will not intrude on your time or space in this, as you will see by the following that all are fallacious. I did not purchase the Noxon Combined Standard, but dil have one of the ma- j chines on trial, which (although they • say so) I used during the entire harvest. i This I utterly deny. I got the ma- chine from Mr. McLean, and. he never asked me to buy it. It was simply left me on trial. They say that they take c exception to one sentence, which reads 1 as follows : "It withstood all criticizing, t cuts clean, is of very light draft, and NN, throws the best sheaf of all its compe- t titors," and I cheerfully agree with c them that it does. As to Messrs Mof- w fatt, Nott, Biggins, Callender, Thomp- o son and Hinchley, I am positive that R none of those sayv the machine working j during that contest, and consequently t could not have bought. They say 0 further: "How is it that near the road w where Mr. McLean cut, or rather tried s to cut, people passing imagine, &c." a Now, I would distinctly state that both in the Bradley and the Noxon had gone fe over this ground, and if one only took the I heads, the other got none of the straw. a As to the lying or tangled oats on one w side of the field, neither machine could te cut them satisfactorily, although both " naachines bad a trial.

SOInething has got to go soon The through express of Public Opinion is on the down grade with a full head of steam on, and the antiquated old dames of Canadian " Upper Chambers are crooning on the track. Somethinghes • got to go, and Mr. Grip is -decidedly of the opinion that it is • not the train. Public opinion is become mature on the question of abolishing the House -of Lords idea out of our political system. Cool headed and • sagacious men—not fanatical constitution tinkers—are be- ginning to see the absurdity of burden - lag the people with these useless ap- pendages. The recent on of the Quebec grandmothers have surely ripen- ed public opunoisana that Province to the verge of mak-wiles& For a long time the people of -N-ova Scotia have longed for the day when their little House of Peers (composed of two dozen respectable old gentlemen) will be num- bered. amongst the things that were, and there are few thinking people (ex- cepting Senators and their wives) who are not ready and anxious to vote the Dominion Senate out of existence. It is worse than useless, for it is simplya repetition of the House of Commons sa- to partyism, and, moreover, it costs the people of this overburdened countryabont one million of dollars per annum. In the meantime the train goes thunderingalong, and engineer Grip refuses to whis- tle down brakes. LOG HER.• • Sit:—My name is Whipple, Sarah Whipple, and I live within sight of Lake Simcoe. My husband inherited his farm, a good farm, forty acres in fall wheat this year, and a Berkshire pig of the best pecligree,frorn his father. He is deacon of his church, has been in the Council, and. we have one son, Hezekiah, nst 24. My son is a very good boy, has a class at the Sunday School, and sings n the choir. On Monday week he went up to the. Exhibition, and 011Thursday we had a message, costing 37 cents, to say that the deacon had better orne to Toronto', for Hezekiah wanted cooking after. It was just dreadful, but he deacon, said it was all right, and he -ould go up and send me a message by elegraph. Sure enough the message ame next morning, n all right," and as comforted. But on Monday, an- ther message came for me from the othsay's saying " come up." So ust put on my black silk, caught * rain, and was in Toronto by 2 o'clock. h, but the streets were crowded! And ho do you think I met on Yonge treet ? Why, who but Hezekiah, with short clay pipe in his mouth, shout - g " 'rah for Lorne," and looking per- ctly wild. The noise, the confusions never shall forget. I took him by the rm. He started. when he saw me, and hen I asked him what was the mat - r, he exclaimed madly, "log her? My poor boy," I said, " do you want log your own mother ?" and he could say not another word, but he was so much offended_ that it nas.de his very knees weak and shake, so that he oonld hardly walk. I took him So the hotel and. put him to lie down, and then went to look for Whipple, and walked to the Rothesay's who telegraphed for me. But I found him before 'reached there, and found him making a speech in the eld, where the grain was standing, I believe the Noxon machine made the best work. As to the divider choking in the Noxon, I do not deny it, but what happened the Bradley? It, unfortun- ately for its agents or owners, was con- tinually choked, even in the standing grain, while the Noxon only choked in the tangled.
