BEAFORTEf, FRIDAY, Oct. 10, 1884.
The Scott Act.
The date for taking the vote on the
Scott Act in this coniaty has been
changed from the 7th of November
to the 30th of October. Thursday
the 30th October is the day now defi-
nitely fixed, thus making the time for
preparatory operations one week shorter.
Both parties are donning their armor
andaregetting into good fighting order.
Meetings have .already been held in sev-
eral parts of the county and more are ad-
vertised to take place next week, and
there will likely be plenty of agitation
during the next three weeks. What the
result is likely to be it is impossible to
predict at the present true, but the
friends of the Act are very hopeful, but
is well to guard a.gaiust being overly
sanguine. The vote will be taken in
the counties of Bruce and Dufferin on
the same ehey as in Huron.
The Mains-Bearnish. Man
&laughter Case.
The G3lati:1h Signal, in a very able
and exhaustive article, in which the
evidence given at the recent assizes in
this case is °axially reviewed, comes to
the conclusion that the Beamishes were
acting throughout in the defensive and
that the lilfainses, father and sons, were
the aggressors. It ,also criticises pretty
sharply the charge of judge Wilson to
the Jury and eharacterizes it as unduly
hars1 . to the prieoners and one-sided in
tone and bearing,—that in short, the.
Jualge brought out prominently every
petty incident against the Beamishes,
but failed to present the extenuating
oironnaetances. Especially in the case
of Thomas Manasseh Bearnish, the
younger son, who wae sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary, it says there
was no evidence_ whatever to connect
him directly with the death of Mains,
and urges that as a matter of simple
justice he should receive the benefit of
official clemency. The Signal certainly
makes out a very strong case in favor. of
these unfortunate men, and as the
writer of the article in question had
evidently paid particular attention to
the evidence throughout, we are in-
clined to the opinion that he takes the
correct view. This opinion is much
strengthened also by a perusal of the
published reports of the affair be-
tween the parties when it took
place, combined with the stunnaary of
the evidence given in court, which we
have seen.We are strongly of the
opinion that the Beamishes were the
least in fault, and that but for the un-
fortunate circumstance of Mains' death,
which was not by any means clearly
traoeable to; the injuries he then receiv-
ed, the Bearnishes would be considered
to have acted in self-defense throughout.
From the first we could not yid -ourself
of the belief that the Mainses were much
more at fault than the 13earnishes, and
the partial perusal of the evidence we
have had, together with the lucid re-
marks 'of the Signal, confirm that belief.
With the concluding remarks of the
Signal's article we cordially agree. It
says:
"Thus, through the quarrelsomeness
of Mains, for he morally was the cease
of the whole affair, two families have
been bereft. To the elder Beamish a few
years more or less in his sentence can
be of little consequence. His dread
disease will release him long before the
term expires, if he even liveto get to
Kingston. When Henry, now aged 23,
emerges to resume hie life, a free man
once naore, he will have reached middle
a,ge, while Thomas, just entering man-
hood, and who certainly struck no blow
contributing to the death of poor Mains,
will carry with hire—with a feeling of
its injustice—the felon's yoke through
life. Before the event the Beamish
family was highly respectable, as much
eo as any in the township. Henry par-
ticularly, was sober, industrious, eisd
exemplary in every respect. While
every one must feel pity for the unfor-
tunate end of the man who lost his life,
and particularly for his poor widow and
fatherless children, it is not much to
be wondered at that public sympathy,
in 'view of all the facts, is at present
strongly rvira the Bearnialles, and that
while wishing by all means to ophold
the strong arm of the 'awl there are
mane who think that lighter much'
lighter, Bentencee would have better:
-vindicated justice and satisfied the pulse
lie conscience."

false and foolish. Statements bf this
kind do a great deal to injure Maiiitoba.
On the strength of these, unsus eoting
people are induced to go there, nd as
disappointment is sure to await them,
they•at once become disgusted w th the
country, and they not only nnreas nobly
denounce it themselves, but they advise
their friends to evade it. Prices o grain
are and mnst continue to be at 1 ast 20
cents per bushel lower in Manitob ; than
in Ontario, and there is ne reas n why
as high prices cannot be obtai ed in
Dakota and Minnesota. as in Ma Robe,
and we know, as a matter of fac , that
prices rnle equally as high, and some-
times a trifle higher, in Dakota t an in
Manitoba. There is nothing to be
gained, therefore, in the long r n, by
falsehood, and the sooner the azette
and all others of Hire ilk recogni e this
•
fa.ot in their dealings with the orth-
west the better for all concerned. The
true friends of Manitoba are those who
tell the truth concerning it, arid not
those who, by statements such els con-
tained in the above quotation, en eavor
to deceive the unwary.
CONSIDERABLE surprise was occa ioned
a few days ago by the announolianent
that Sir John A. Macdonald. had taken
his departure for the old icounte , and
much conjecture was indulged in as to
What the object of his mission co Id be.
It seems that his determination as so
hurriedly made that his meet int mate
friends and even his colleagues •ti the
Government were not made aw reof
his intended departure. Amon the
various reasons assigned for his v sit to
the old country at the presect tim , the
most likely one is that the trip is aken
for the benefit of his health. It i said
that his old complaint has again r turn-
ed and that for several weeks be has
been enable, ,on, aeconnt of an aff ction
of the stomach toi tisk° any solid food
and that as the, physicians of, this
country are unable to do anything to
alleviate the disease, Sir John heel gone
to consult an eminent London phy ician
who cured him on a former occ sion.
If this is the case the fervent wi h of
all, friend and -foe alike, Will be1 that
the object of his mission may be ac-
complished and that he will return to
his labors here fully restored to his
wonted health.
THE Hon. Mr. Blake has been lhoid.
ing a series of meetings at various oints
in the eastern part of the Provinc , and
has been doing good service in the aim
of Reform. The reception ten ered
hini everywhere by the 'easterr Re-
formers was of the most cordial har-
acter and must have served to g eittly
encourage him in his noble w rk of
battling for good and economical Gov-
ernment. His able addresses werje at-
tentively listenea to and are l4ighly
spoken of by the press of the se tion,
and will, no doubt, bear good frit at
the proper time. As a public sp aker,
Mr. Blake is without an equal in 1 Can-
ada and has few if any superiora 'the
American continent.
THE FOLLOWING paragraph fro4 last
Tuesday's Mail is on a par with t
tract from the Montreal Gazette iven
elsewhere:
The Farmers' Union in Man toba,
with that discretion which is the- etter
part of valor, does not -attempt t ac-
count for the fact that while wh at is
selling at Noche, Dakota, at 56 (cents
per bushel, the price at Gretna,' ani-
toba„ just across the road, is 68 4ents,
and at Winnipeg 80 cents. In this in-
stance manifestly, protection pro ects.
We do not know how correct the
Mail is in its figures regarding lieche
and Gretna, but we do know that for
the vseek ending, Saturday. last, 39,000
bushels of - wheat were sold on
the Brandon market, the principal
local grain market of the N rth-
west, at an average price of sixt -five
cents per bushel; We also know that

The time fo our annual fairs draws
ear, and at t e various towns where

parations are oeing made for the ac-
commodation of exhibits and exhibitors.
Our own fai — mountain No. 1, to
be held at Cr stal ity, promises to be
even more e cces tut than on former
years. Entr1 s iu t e various °lasses
are numerous, and should the weather
be at all favo ble si large gathering and

over the prize list cf our society that

ance, and sho Id b erconraged. But I
shall speak pa tieul rily of our fairs in

subject for the present.
In a previees let er I spoke of the
probable a,buriilance of game and I find
that my predictiona have been fully

pamphlets, and to issue -a paper con-
taining matter suited to the -require-

sidered was that of perfecting the
organization for the oan ass. The vari-
,
ons repeesentatives were called ttpon to
report the present conditions of their
respectine municipalities, and their
needs in that respeot. From these re.
ports it was learned that some of the

tion union meetings for prayer for the

operation of the ladies of the county, in

benediction by Revs John Gray.

unfortunate circumfitances, however,the
show was a very fair one. The exhibit
in tbe hall being good in every depart-
ment except the ladies', -which was
lacking in extent and variety. The
show of horses mid cattle was very
good, but it was alinoet impossible to
get around to see anything the rain
came down so heavily and the mad, was
terrific. The attendance of spectators
