NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ! should not regret even did the British
Colutubians carry out their threat and
secede. 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

SEAFORTH, SEPTEMBER 19, 1879.
• Our Member.
Sir R. J. Cartwright, M. 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

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. The gravity of the situation
has immensely increased by these new
.developments. There can be no longer

is as to how hide dealers pay so high prices

about $40 by his stuffing the hides with
foreign substances. Salt is -cheap here

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,

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. In other parts of to

CLEAR THE THA.C.R.
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. While cutting oats the
