SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, July 10, 1891.
On False Pretenses. =
It now appears that the late appeal
to the electors of the Dominion by the
Government was Made on fele° pre-
tense& It will be remembered that
when Bafflement was dissolved a d a
new election ordered, the reason iven
by the Government for the dissoltition
was, that a proPosition had been re-
ceived from the United States authori-
ties for a conference between the two
Governments, with a view to extending
the trade relatinns between the 1 two
countries, and that the 'Canadian Gov-
ernment desired the sanction of the
people to such a conference before they
entered upon it. This statement was
afterwards frequently made upon the
public platforms ity Sir John Macdon-
ald, Sir Charles j Tupper, and leading
members and frie de of the Governrrent.
It now turns out, as shown by the cor-
respondence laid before Perlis ent
by the Government, that there was not
one word of truth in this statement, and
that the people had been appealecl to
under false pretennes. The correspond-
ence shows that the proposition for a con-
ference emanatedl from the Canadian
Government, and ,hat Sir Charles Tup-
per, as ['hewn by hie own letter, duing
a subsequent visit to Washington on-
fessedi in presence of the Secretar7 of
State and the Brit ah Minister, that such
was the case, and that the Canadian
authorities had lren guilty of a mis-
statement. Not only this, but the
American President and Secretary: of
State only consentled to a conference on
the distinct understanding that the ar-
rangement should be kept strictly Pri-
vate. It will thus be seen that the
Canadian authorities not only mieled
the Canadian, people but broke faith
with the President and Secretary (Atha
United Statee. This will, no doubt,
account for the mysterious visit ofthe
Canadian deputation to Washington lent
spring, their cold reception and their
hurried return. By their deceitful 'end
dishonorable promiedings Canada has
been humiliated iaid dishonored in the
eyes of the world, and it may be relied
upon that her p sent representathee
will receive but a ant courtesy or tient
at Washington or ny place else. These
proceedings shoul form subject fot en-
quiry in Parliam nt, and the members
of the present G vernment should be
called to sharp bcount for their ink'-
,
conduct while co nected with the late
Government. Additional explanations
should be asked for, and the Oppoaition
will be lacking in their duty if they do
not bring the matter up. Such trickery
is characteristic of Tupper, and need
not be wondered t on his part, but the
members of the tovernment, who Pro-
tein' to be respeetab1e and honest, should
be at least affor ed an opportunity of
saying whether r not they were de-
ceived by their suiperiors. ,

The Emb rgo Removed.
A short time go the United States
Government pas ed an order that all
sheep and swin imported into that
country from fo eign countries should
remain in quer ntine for fifteen days
before being a tted into the American
markets. This, reoaution was taken
because of the exMcnce of :contageous
diseases among the sheep and pigs of
some other coun ries. Canada, being a
foreign country was, of course, in-
cluded in this o der. This It was found,
by shippers of heep and lambs, would
act very prejud chilly to the trade ex-
isting between this country arid the
United States. The matter was brought
up in the Cana Ian Parliament, and ne-
gotiations betw en the authorities of
this country an the United States were
opened with th view of having the em-
bargo, in so far as Canada is coneerned,
removed, as it is well known that none
of the diseases eared exist in this coun-
try. The Unite States Secretaryagreed
that if the Can dian Government would
t
impose a fifte a days' quarantine on
all sheep and wine imported into the
Dominion froii Great Britain or the
•continent of E rope, the rule wOuld be
relaxed in so f r asCanada is concerned.

the other hand, held that if the duty
were removed the American manufactur-
ers would swamp the manufacturers Of
'Canada, and that thus an important
Canadian industry would be killed, and
that then -the Canadian farmers would
be placed at the mercy of the American
twine combination, and besides, that t�
remove this duty would be to poke a
hole in the N. P., and that it is in the
interests of the country that the "old
policy" be maintained intact. It is
needless to say that the Opposition had
largely the beat of the argument, but
the Government had the most votes,
and Mr. Muloch's motion was defeated
by a majority of 20 on a straight party
vote. The duty on binding twine thus
remains, and the farmer will have to
pay, on an average, two cents a pound
more on his binding twine to fill the
pockets of the twine manufacturers and
keep up the N. P. This is all right, as
it is what a majority of the electors
voted for iett March. So long as the
farmers are willing to pay the pipet the
manufacturers twill not object to profit
by and appreciate the music.
England vs. Canada.
A correspondent of the Canada
Presbyterian, now travelling in the Old
Country, in the last issue of that paper,
in his "Fragmentary Notes" of what
he saw, in London, makes the following
comparison between the English and!
Canadian Parliaments:

and Balfour were there, as was Sexton,
Healy, Tanner, Niolan and Chance. Mr.

()Trews, July 8th, 1891.
Overshadowing the House in interest,
and even in importance, the Committee
on Privileges and Elections has had
its proceedings in the Tarte charges
watched with unflagging interest by
crowds whioh daily grew larger. . Here }
is a picture of the scene. At a table,
across the snd of the room sits the chair-
man, Mr. Girourard, the member for
Jacques Cartier. To his right stands O.'

of the Jommittee are: Hon. David
Mille, Hon. L. H. Davies, Mr. Lange-
lier, Mr. Mulock end Mr. Edgar, of the
Oppositien. At e side table the corres-
pondents and reporters, representing all
the leading Papere of the Dominion, are
taking notcs. At the back of the room
the spectators, including members of
both Houses, crowd the room to the
door. /
Mr. Murphy heti sworn positively
that he is one of the greatestswindlers
out of the penitentiary, and .that Sin
Hector 'Langevin, Hon, Thomas Mn-
Greevy,i M. P., and his own partner*,
were joint swindlers; that he himself
paid Siri Hector 'Lengevin $10,000, and
that L force Langevin, his son, was
paid $6,000 for Sir Hector; that Mit

of the " Ctioss-wall " contract, $22,000
out of the "supplementary contract"
for the LevieGraving Doak, $24,000 out
of the Esquimalt Graving Dock contract
and various other sums, and that the
30 per cent. interest in some of these
contracts, and 20 per cent. interest in,
the Esquimalt Graving Dock contract
was given to Robert McGreevy to secure
Thomas McGreevy's good will and influ-
ence at Ottawa.
Great interest was taken in Mr.
Osler's cross-examination of Murphy,
which began on Friday. He went into
Murphy's anticedents. Murphy had
travelled extensively and resided isai

Secretary -Treasurer to the .Board of
Excise, whose money he acknowledged
taking to the extent of $50,000 and ap-
plying it to the Democratic campaign
fund. He came to Quebec in 1880 and
drew another cheque for $10,000 as
Treasurer of the New York ExCts0
Board and gave it to Michael Connolly
for collection. It was dishonored. Mr.
Osier showed the witness two cheques
of May and June 1883 for $5,000 each,
which Murphy said might have been in
payment of two of the five notes given
by the firm for Thomas McGreevy, but
as the cheques turned out to be dated
and paid prior altogether to the drawing
of the five notes witness had to contra-
dict himself and finally said that as they

twould have to explain it. Murphy had
also sworn that he drew over $7,000
from his bank to help elect Robert Mo

book showed that during that month he
'had only drawn $1,000 altogether.

about 14 feet from a ladder It was at

—What might have been a serious ac-
cident happened in front of Mr. Hess'
wagon shop in Zurich one day last week.
While Messrs. Diimart, Rauch and Rev.
Heist were driving up the Street the
horses became unmanageable. The arm
of the tongue broke and the team be-
came almost detached from the wagon.
Mr. Dumart, who was driving, jumped
from the wagon, but fell on the road,
both front and hind wheels passing over
both legs. The wagon, however, was s
light one, and being unloaded, no serious
injury was sustained.
—W. H. Kerr has resigned the lead-
ership of the Brussels Methodist choir,
after an experience of eleven years. Dr.
Cavanagh has been appfeinted to the
position. He is well qualified to dis-
charge the onerous duties devolving
upon him. Mr. Kerr has a variety of
excellent qualifications. He is an effi-
cient musician; a good preacher; a
clever newspaper editor, and a general
good fellow. It is not often that news-
paper men show such Versatility of
character. They too frequently get
into a rut and stay there.
—The Watford Guide thus refers to a
son of Mr. J. Butt, of the Base Line,
Stanley: Rev. Mr. Butt preached his
last sermon in the fillencoe Methodist
church previous to his leaving for his
new appointment atiChatham on Sun-
day evening. It was not a special
" farewell " sermon, but at its close Mr.
Butt made a few remarks fitting the oc-
casion referring to -the pleasant) rela-
tions getween pastor and congregation
,during his three years' stay in Glencoe
and trusting that his successor would
experience the same agreeable relations.
Mr. Butt leaves many veep friends in
Glencoe.'
—The new Roman Catholic church in
Clinton was formally consecrated on
Wednesday, lat inst. by Right Rev.
Dr. O'Connor, of London, assisted by
prieste from adjacent parishes. After
the consecration service, the Bishop de-
livered an address, explanatory of all
the services. The Stratford choir ren-
dered excellent music during the ser-
vices. The offertery, a liberal one, will
go towards the expenses incurred in con-
nection with the purchase and fitting up
of the property — about $3,000. In
the evening a sacred concert was given.
All the services were well attended.
—On Thursday evening of last week
Milton and Emma son and daughter of
Mr. George Blackwell, drove to Wing -
ham. About 9.30 they started for
home stopping at Miss Rush's restau-
ant, idilton rleaving the horse in care of
his sister while he went inside to make
a purchase. Something startled the
horse—a three-year-old—and it wheeled
around sharply, throwing Miss Black-
well out and also causing the buggy top
and seat to come off. The blow from
the fall severely stunned the young
lady, but she received no further injury.
The horse was stopped after running a
considerable distance. The buggy was
badly smashed but the horse escaped
without any injuries.
—A bad runaway accident occurred on
Thursday of last week, on the 6th con-
cession of Turnberry. Mr. John Rob-
inson, of the 8th concession, accompan-
ied by his wife ' and her mother, Mrs.
Johnston, Was driving home when a
pig ran out to the road, which frighten-
ed the horses, causing them to jump to
one side,upsetting the buggy and throw-
ing the occupants upon a heap of stones.
Mrs. Robinson received the worst in-
juries, having the bridge of her nose
badly broken, her whole face badly
bruised, her bottom lip cut and some
teeth knocked out. Mrs. Johnston re-
ceived severe brnisee on her eye and
legs. Mr. Robinson -escaped with a few
slight bruises about, the body.
—A few days ago while Mr. Bert
Gillespie was engaged with a number of
other men in hauling gravel from the
pit at the north end of Exeter, he hada
narrow escape from being killed. From
the few facts that can be learned, it ap-
pears. that he was standing between the
wagon and gravel bank, when the upper
portion fell in on top of him, burying
him underneath. The other men who
were present at the time immediately
set to work and liberated the entombed
man from his would-be grave. When,
they had removed the debris they found
he was still living, and began to do all
they could to make him feel comfort-
able. Although having been badly
shaken up, he is slowly recovering, and
will soon be able to follow his named
occupation.
—Mr. S. Gliddon, of the London
road, Stanley, lost a good mare on Wed-
nesday of last week in a rather unusual
way. The mare was one he had raised
himself, and was generally as quiet as
could be, but as he hitched her on the
mower, she seemed nervous and fright-
ened, and in order to get her nerves
quieted he drove her a short distance on
the road, but she got worse instead of
better, became excited and unmenage-
able, and finally ran away, though he
managed ,to held her. After running a
couple o hundred yards she stopped
and dropped over dead, the fright hav-
ing evidently killed her. She was a
particularly fine driving mare, and was
in foal to Onward King within two
months of foaling. As Mr. Gliddon
some time ago refused $250 for her, the
loss is a iievere one.
—The Goderich Star makes the fol-
lowing reference to the opening of the
new Salvation Army Barracks in that
town: On Wednesday and Thursday the
new barracks of the Salvation Army
was formally dedicated and opened, the
proceedings including a banquet each
evening and religious services. The
spread on the tables was most bountiful,
and the services, led by Commander
Rees and L. Werry, A. D. C., were of a.
most enjoyable character, and doubtlese
productive of much good. The new
barracks is situated on the corner of
Lighthouse and Waterloo streets, and
is a comfortable and commodious build-
ing, of pleasing appearance and well
lighted and ventilated, and ought to
prove an attractive place for attendants
and pleasant quarters for officers and
their co. -workers. Captain and cadet
Scare-, the eiders In command, are able
and popular officers.

MATTER. —MR EDITOR,
--I accidentally noticed a few days ago,
in a back slumber, June. 5th, of THS•
Exeosrron, a statement that had hither
to escaped my notice. This statement
over the signature of Univer-
sity Graduate' " was to the effect than
Dr. F. B. Godfrey, of Belgrave, Wan
not a general proficiency medalist from
Toronto 'University. I beg leave through
your columns to contradict the state-
ment. In his final year, by specie.
permission of the Senate, Dr. Godfrey
wrote on both his third and fourth year
examinations, being unable to take his
examination the previous year, on itc-
count of an affection of the eyes, and.
notwithstanding this handicap, in the
third year he obtained first class honors
in clinical medicine, surgery, clinical
surgery and obstetrics, second class in -
medicine and third class in surgical op
orations, pathalogy and therupeutient
and in his fourth examination first class
in clinical medicine, surgery, clinical
surgery, and gynaecalogy, second class
in medicine and medical psychology
and pass in forensic medicine and
hygiene. This may be seen in the medi-
cal calendar of Toronto University for
1 9 and 1890. For thie standing be
