SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Aug. TT, 1886.
The Irish Qinontion.
The announcements made last week in.
the Imperial Parliament ley Lords Salis-
bury and Churchill show pretty dearly
what is to be the policy of the new Con:
servative Ministry on the Irish question.
They will, in the first place, endeavor to
maintain order in Ireland witheut hav-
ing recourse to coercion ; that is to say,
they will not at present ask Parliament
to renew the Coercion Acts, but will do
so hereafter if the necessity for special
powers becomes apparent. They pro-
mise to restore order ill Belfast, and to
that end are determined, they say, to
shrink from. no responsibility. One of
the ablest and most eeergetic generals in
the British armta Sir Redvers Buller, is
to be sent to Kerry, and invested with
such powers as will enable him to put
down laffIessness there. They will ap-
point a Royal Commission to make en-
quiries during the ensuing autumn and
winter into the working of the existing
hind system in Ireland. They also pro-
pose to appoint ai commission of three
gentlercten of position and experience to
advise the Governinent on such ques-
tions as the creation of a deep sea fishery
off the weet coast of Ireland, the con-
struction of harbors of refuge, extension
of railways, and arterial drainage.
They propose to devote the recess te
careful, consideratihn of the question of
Local Government for all the three
kingdoms, and expect when Parliament
reassembles in February that they will
-be prepared to submit definite proposals
on the sub-ject. For the rest, the corner
stone of theiipoticy is to be maintenance
of the uoion.
Such is the policy of the new govern -
mention the Irish question, as defined
by its leading members, and if carried
out honestly, in good faith, it ought to
be productive of beneficial results. If
they can restore order in Ireland with-
out having recourse to spedal coercive
legislation, and if they take steps to de-
velop the deep sea fisheries of the west
coast, to establish harbors of reinge, to
extend the railway system, and,
to- carry out a well-designed system of arf
t eria,I drainage,theywillnotonly deserve
credit, but will prove theneselved the
best Goeiernment Ireland has had for
many a dayi __As for their proposed sys-
term of local Government, to be applied
to all parts of the three Kingdoms, we
cannot of coarse say what it will amount
to till the details are known. But it is
very doubtful if they will be able to do
any of these things ; and it is nearly
certain that their proposed. -scheme of
local. self-government will not be accept-
ed by the Irish Nationalists. Already
-United Ireland, -Mr. Parnell's organ, has
declared war to the knife against the new
Minietryeancl even so comparatively mod-
erate a paper as the Freeman's Journal,
the organ of the Irish Roman Catholic
hierarchy, is dissatisfied. It demands
immediate action, denounces the Gov-
ernment's propos-al to ,postpene matters
till February next, and declares that the
Irish party in the House listened to
Lard Churchill's statement with disguit
and indignation. This is not an aus-
piciona beginning, mid to all appearance
the coming winter in Ireland will be a
very troubled one.
We much fear that Lord Salisbury
and his colleagues are not on the right
track for solving the Irish question. It
seems to us extremely probable, in fact
almost certain, that they will be
forced into a policy of coercion
in Ireland, pure and simple, be-
fore three months are past., We
do not see how else they can control the
Land Leaguers, put down boycotting,
suppress moonlighters in the south, and
Ontiege and Green riots in the North,
and all af which it appears they propose
to do. Moreover, the mission af Sir
Redvers Buller to Kerry looks very
like coercion, though perha.ps it may be'
celled by scnne other name. As for
works of internal improvement iu Ire -
laud, the Irish are not now disposed to
accept them in lieu of Home Rule. They
want Home Rule in some shape,and will
not be satisfied till they get it. The ques-
tion Lord Salisbury and his colleagues
ought really to consider is how this may
be granted to Ireland without. danger to
Imperial unity. We bdieve thet by the
introduction of the Federal systein, into
Great Britain arid Ireland the true so-
lution of the Home RUle problem might
be attained. The Tories have now a
fine chance of settling the matter satis-
factoirily by preparing a general scheme
of Local Government for the three king-
doms, based en the Federal plan. We
db not ielieve, howeveie that they will
do so. Lord Churchill s scheme of
local self-government, so far as we can
see from the references to it in the de-
,spatches, is only a plan of local munici-
pal government, something like our
county councils ; and although it
may be useful as a measure of reform it
will not, if such be its nature, be ac-
cepted by the Irish as a substitute for
Home Rule. But unless separation .be
their real aim, as their enemies in Eng-
land allege, they would be content with
a scheme based on the federal principle' ,
which would give to Ireland local self -
_government such as is enjoyed in On-
tario, or as in New York State. Such a
plan ought to be practiceble, and we are
confident would be found to be so.

telephone poles at the depot, Wingham,
the other day, the ,upright post to
which the rope was fastened for hauling
up the poles, fell down, striking Davie,
the seven year old son of James Angus,
Who was playing around there. The
pole first struck him in the mouth,
knocking out two teeth, and then caught
his left leg, making a terrible gash, and
which required eight stitches to draw
it together.. The unfortunate lad was
picked. up and carried into a neighbor's
house, and was thought to be dead.

cellent lot of ten Clydesdale horees.
Thty arrived from Montreal in a palace
horse car in good condition. Six of the
animals belong to Mr. Wellw.00d, and
Messrs. Roach and Todd own two each.
These gentlemen are commendable to a
community for their enterprise in in-
troducing some of the best known breed
of horse flesh.
— One evening recently the members
of the Wingharn. town band assembled
at the residence of H. W. C. Meyer,
president of the band, and presented
that gentleman with an address expres-
sive of their appreciation of encourage-
ment and valuable assistance he has
rendered the organization since he had
become connected with it, accompanied
by a magnificent gold -headed cane as a
token of their esteem. Thepreseetation
was quite unexpected, but Mr. Meyer
made a happy and appropriate response,
thanking them for their handsome gift.
Refreshments were served, and a pleas-
ant evening was spent by the boys. The
cane bears the inscription, " Presented
as a mark of esteem to II. W. C. Meyer
by the Wingham Town Band, August
12, 1886."
—The other day in Wingham a team-
ster was hitching up a team of 'horses
in front of -Mr. W. Holmes' blaciesmith
shop, and was standing between the
horses when they got scared and started.
off up street, taking the wagon along.
He grabbed the lines and attempted to
stop them, but was unable to do so.
Runnieg along in front of a wagon be-
tween two horses, with one of them
kicking, is anything but a pleasant
place to .be in. At the British Hotel he
turned the horses' heads, and they ran
against the platfqrm of the pump, which
stopped them. Duting their short run
one of the horses nearly kicked the
driver fair in the face several times,
each time the -heels going just over his
shoulder. Over the pump a new pita -
form had lust been laid, the planks be-
ing yet loose. Had it not been for this
the ohance,s are one of the horses wopld
have gone down the well: The only
damage done was the man in some
manner having his right boot torn
off his foot .end skinning one finger a
little.
—The Clinton New gra furnishes the
following itetn : A certain well-known
stock -raiser of the county of Huron re-
cently went to the Old Country for the
purpose of importing stock ; he came
back without any, and report says that
his reason for so doing was because of
his being swindled out of between fifteen
hundred and 1wo thousand dollars. It
is the old Story of putting confidence in
strangers. It seems that while in the
old country he fell ip with a couple of
yoling nien, and thoughtlessly confided
his business to them, so it is said. .Of
course they were Canadians too, and
were also over for the purchase of
horses so they said. They became
quite intimate with the Huronite, who
foolishly became equally intimate with
them. Wanting to make a purchase
one day, they found they had no money ;
they had plenty of che3ks and drafts for
an unlimited amount, but no hard cash.
Would the Huronite lend thein some,
taking as security the drafts, until they
could get them cashed. Of course he
would. He never doubted but that they
were as honest as himself, and without
hesitation he loaned them all the money
he had, finding \viten it was too late that
they were swindlers of the meanest kind,
and his money gone beyond the possi-
bility of recovery.

Methodist church, Goderich, is the,
proud possessor of the latest ancrbest
style of tricycles. It is a' very perfect
machine, and the reverend gentleman
will find it very useful in making pas-
toral calls. It has an _odometer, or dis-
tance register attached to the wheel,
and at the i end of hie term .Mr. Turk
will be enabled with its aid to , give in-
controvertible testimony' regarding the
number of miles he has travelled in the
cause.
—The other morning a lad named
Percy Naftel, aged about nine years,
soo of T. C. Naftel, Goderich, was in
his grandfather'e orchard about to• pick
apples, when some person on the oppo-
site side oftthe fence discharged e shot-
gun. One of the tiny bullets entered
the face of the lad just above the eye,.
but owing to the great swelling which
ensued, the surgeon who examined the
wound could not tell the exact nature
.of the injury. It is hop.ed the sight of
the eye will be saved.
—Messrs. Scott & Bell, of the furni-
ture factory, Wingham, have com-
menced the erection of a new addition to

—On Friday night, 1* inst., during
the heavy thunder storm, the lightning
struck a nrhock of oats on the farm of
Mr. James Walkinshaw, of the 3rd con-
cession of-Hullett, near thc barn, setting
the oats on fire. Mr. Walkinshaw saw
the- flash, and thought it struck the
barn, and ran out expecting to find it on
fire insidObut seeing that all was right
in the barn, he want 'back io the house,
not knowing that the oats were burning.
Although it rained heavily for about an
hour, when Mr. Walkinshaw went out

a cost of 8500. Besides this, they will
add a new band saw, carving machine,
sand -paper machine and saw table. The
firm purpose 'slaking extensive improve-
ments to the already capacioua building
next spring, and when everything is
completed it will be one of the finest
factories of ithe kind in the west.
—Rev. Father DeCantillon, of Colum-
bus, Ohio, preached in the Catholic
church, Brussels, on Sunday morning,
15th inet. His discourse was based on
lst Corinthians, 10th chapter, 6th to
llth verses. The Post eays : He has a
very fluent style, and his auditors were
greatly pleased with his sermon. Rev.
Exeter, which I can also prove, that he had sold
to the Messrs Shipley,the day of the trial a Toronto
Binderand thatwehad to take theBrantford away.
Now, Mr. Editor these are the men who try and
make the public believe they would not mis-
lead. How low they have fallen, when they have
to resort to such knavish trickery and falsehood
in order to raise themselves in public opinion,
their end is not afar off.
Thanking you Mr. Editor I remain yours Sro. .

MR. EDITOR,—Would you be kind enough to
allow us a few lines to correct a statement made
by W. Stanley regarding that binder trial, in
which he states that they' had to go with a scythe
to mow the lodged places run over by the Brant-
ford binder. This assertion we state to be a wil-
ful and malicious falsehood, and the general tone
of his letters all through is to mislead the public
and not to state facts. We might also state to
the public that we did offer W. Stanley 8150 for
his Toronto binder, which was all we considered
it to be worth. But that was previous to our
seeing the Brantford machine, and now we are
truly glad he did not take our offer, for we would
have made a serious -mistake had he done soi and
now after cutting .115 acres we find the Brant-
ford binder to be all that it was represented.
GEORGE SHIPLEY,
THOMAS SHIPLEY.
CLINTON, August 17, 1886.
DEAR notice that Mr. W. Stanley,
Toronto agent, in his letter of wilful misrepre- •
sentations in your last issue asks where was my
Brantford binder the day of the, trial of binders
on Thomas Shipley's farm? I will be a little
more courteous than he was with me, as he did
not tell me on Saturday nig,ht that there was to
be a trial on Monday, nor did I know anything
of,it till Monday forenoon, and it will at the
same time satisfy his suspicions imagination.
My binder the day of the trial was working on
my own farm, with a boy driving it for an ex-
pert, which is all the Brantford requires, and I
noticed at the trial it took several experts to
keep the Toronto running at all and keep it from
choking, and then only eutting with half of her
width, and in tangled spots with much less, and
it would have required an extra man to tie up
the number of :loose sheaves, I have cut my en-
tire crop on both farms, and the Brantford has
given the best of satisfaction and in justice to
the machine I must say I had not as many loose
sheaves in my entire crop as the Toronto made
in the few rounds it went at the trial.

EDITOR EXPOSITOR,—DEAR SIR,—The
crops in this part of Algoma are good.
I have saved 20 acres of fall wheat in
good order, and threshed part of it. The
sample is good. The Clawson grew
very tall, and. the grain is not quite so
good as the Democrat, or Martin's Am-
ber or Landreath. The Clawson seems,
to 'do best on dry, stony land. The
Demodrat does best on rich land. I
sowed two bushels of Martin's Amber,
and it yielded over 40 bushel?: The
Landreath is abautthe same. On the
. whole 20 acres I think it will average 30
bushels of first-class wheat to the acre.
Spring wheat and oats are very good,
and will be reddy to cut the last week in
August. The kat of the wheat cut be-
ing ripe and hard, we thought of trying
how long it would take to cut, thresh,
clean, grind, and cook the flour. At a
given time a quantity of wheat was cut,
and taken half a mile to the barn, top
threshed, cleaned, and taken 40 rods to
the mill, smutted, ground and bolted,
and a pailful of flour taken up to the
house, and a sponge cake baked—all
done in 28 minutes. W. H.
Day's Mills, August 14, 1886.
Mr. Moffatt's Reply.
VARNA AVG. 17th 1886.
To the Editor of THE IICRON EXPOSITOR.
DEAR. SI R,—Allow me a few tilICS41 your vain-,
able paper, to reply to a lengthy letter signed by
W. Stanley regarding- the binder trial, held at
Thomas Shipley's July 19th and also to endorse
every statement I made in my first letter, and I
dare Mr. Stantey .to contradict one single item
therein. Mr. Stanley tries to work himself into
a fury and gives vent to his wrath, after being -
defeated by stating I misrepresented the facts cif
the case. Why then does he not expose them;
I am satisified for the public to criticize every
statement I made. -But the truth is; he knows
he cannot, and like any other coward attempts
to secure himself behind the rules of the Binder
Association. For listen to what he says : the
binder association by which myself as well as Mr.
Moffatt is governed in selling binders, prohibits
agents from entering field trials (on any consider-
ation) now what does he do in his emergen ey,, as
he calls it, he employs Mr. Churchill with his bin-
der of 1886 to enter into trial, was that not a dir-
ect violation of those association rules, for he
says himself agents cannot, under any consider-
ation enter into field trials. I3uthe got.another
to do what he would do himself, if he • could es-
cape the penalty. Does not such a person require
watching? and what was this emergency, or
what was the object of it? Mr. Stanley states he
knew the Messrs. Shipley had bought two Brant-
ford Binders. Now they must have had an Ob-
ject in view, was it to give a free exhibition to
the public,or was it to take a low li fed advantage,
to try and sell a Toronto binder,which .you could
not do on the square. If it was for the purpose of
exhibition and for the benefit of the pnblie, why
did they not let us know, and give the public a
general invitation, so they could come and
judge for themselves which was the better ma-
chine instead of sending- special invitations
to all the Toronto agentS and particular friends,
on Saturday night and Sunday to be judges on
the machines. But no, that was not the object,
something meaner and f'rnore contemptible than
that, they thought that the Messrs. Shipley were
not endowed with - in tell igence enough to be
their ow n judges, and that they could fetch in-
fluence enough to bear on them to return the
Brantford binder and take the Toronto. That
was the object, like a snake in the grass, or an
assasin in the dark would attempt to strike a
blow when not seen. Mr. Stanley talks of nfis-
leading the public, I ask who are the men who
tried to mislead the public. Who told Mr. W.
Keys the Toronto agent in Stanley township,
that they defeated the Brantford binder and
sold the MeSsrs. Shipley a Tovonto binder and
that we had to take the Brantford away. Mr.
Keys made this statement to several farmers in
the- townships of Stanley and Hay, who are will-
ing to prove it at any time. Now a man of Mr.
Keys pretentionS and moral standing, would not
surely make and,tell a deliberate falsehood, oh
no, surely not, but nevertheless he had no hesi-
tation in telling it, whether he invented it or
not. 'Mr. D. Cantelon also stated to a party at
of the programme. Some of the public
