EAFORTH, FRIDAY, June 23rd, 1893
othei subjects conneoted With farm work
were exhatutively and most intelligently
dismissed by local agrioulturista present.
Surely! no unprejudiced person will say
that a body of Intelligent, thinking men,
numbering from fifty to one hun-
dred and fifty, ` and frequently more.
can ' assemble and discuss subjects
pertaining to their common calling, com-
pare methods and give experiences, with-
out ery materially benefitting themselvee,
li,t,
as iell u their fellows. That' such gsther-
Inge even take place year after year, with-
ut Ileaving their impress for good upon the
interest in behalf of which they are held,
is impossible. It is true that the attend-
ance at these Institute meetings is not as
large as it should be, and the good done by
them is not se great miff the attendance
were larger, but it is equally true 'that the
attendance increases whittles& meeting, and
with each recurring yeart thus showing that
the inteeest in them is increasing, and that
their advantages are commencing to be ap-
preciated as they should be, and perhaps
one of the most gratifying features in con-
nection with them is the growing number of
young men who attend them and take part
in them. To cut them oil, therefore, jutt,
when they are cominencing to do moat good,
would , be, in out opinion, a fatal mis-
take. Of course, they are designed mainly
in the interests of the farmer., and if the
farmers do not want them, there is no use in
the Government's continuing them. And,
if the County Councils, as representative of
the farmers, do not think it worth while to
give the comparatively insignificant sum
asked of them for their maintenance, it
may very fairly be assumed- that the great
body of fanners do not desire them longer
continued. It is important, therefore, that
the farmers keepian eye on their County re-
preeentativee in connection with this mat-
ter. It may be well to know that the oppo-
sition to the Institutes in Huron County
Counal does no t come from the town and
village represintatives, but almoet exclu-
sively from farmers , and representatives of
farmers. We do not believe that those who
opposed this grant represented the interests
of their constituents, and we are likewise
doubtful if they represented their feelings
and desires. However, we give this note of
warning in order that the people may have
an opportunity of making their feelings
known through their representatives. L'ale
Huron County Council is largely composed
of farmers and the representatives of farm-
ers, and if a vote refusing these grants
should again be given, those in authority,
whose business it is to carry out the will of
the people, will be • justified in concluding
that the great mass of the farmers of this
county do not appreciate theee Institute
meetings, and are desirous that they ehouid
be discontinued. Many, no doubt, would
regret such a decision, but the majority
must rule.
, The Liberal ConVention.
The great Liberal Convention held this
week in Ottawa is one of the most import-
ant, as it is one of the longest and most in-
fluential political gatherings ever uonvened,
in- Canada. Its action will be fraught with"
the most far reaching results both to the
piety and the country. The attendance of
diAegi4es is much in excess of the most
sanguine expectations of the promoters, and
the city is taxed to it. utmost limits to af-
ford accommodation to the auembled multi -
tilde, but thanks to the excellent arrange-
ments of the local Liberal Association, all
were made comfortable. It is estimated
ttlat there were over two thousand delegates
preaent and nearly every constituency in the
broad Dominion, from the Atlantio to the
Pacific was represented. The meeting on
ibe evening of Tuesday was an immense
demonstration and was attended by over
three thousand people, who sweltered and
'Waisted in the stifling atmosphere of the
hall for over three hours, listening to the
L bend leaders. The policy of the party has
;
b en definitely defined on all the burning
qhestions of the day, the most import-
ant question being, of course, the trade
qeestion. Our Liberal readers,especially, will
be delighted to learn that the convention
has nailed its colors firmly to the Free
Trade mast and by resolution "has pledged
itself to adopt a free trade policy; in
the broadest sense of the term,and will only
collect by way of tariff and excise duties
such sums as are required for the eel. -
eying on of the business of the country in
the most economical manner postible, and
for these purposes the luxuries of the rich
will be taxed instead of the necessaries of
the consumers as is now the case. Full par-
ticulars of the great gathering will be given
next., week.
The Progress of The Home Rule
During the past week a tide of ill -fortune
seemato have set in against the party favor-
ing Home Rule. Many of the Liberals have
lost hope entirely, but Mr. Gladstone is ap-
parently A full of faith in the ultimate suc-
cess of hia bill as' ever. The majority of
forty has dwindled down to less than thirty
on- some of the div' isions, Red a general
break-up of the Home Rule party seems im-
minent. lbe Irish themselves are to blamte
for this, for their representatives in Parlia-
ment have got to fighting among thenistflves
as usual, just , at the most critical time,
weakening their party both in Parliament
and before the country. This time the
trouble is a fight for supremacy between
Mr. Healey and Mr. Sexton. General Grant
used to say, when he wae in polities in the
United States, speaking from a Republican
standpoint, that the Democrats could always
be relied upon to make fools of themselves
just at the proper time, and this seems to
apply equally well to the Irish party in the
Imperial House of Commons. Still, worse
tangles than this have been straightened
out, even in the history of Great Britain,
and readers of history will recognize the fact
that when great reforms are being carried
out the hardest opponents to deal with are
invariably thou who are to be most benefit-
ted by the remit of a victory, and so it
inity turn out in this case.- Anyway the
abeunding faith of the Grand Old Man, and
his magnificent pluok, are a noble lesson to
his fellow countrymen, and even though his
ambition be defeated, hie life will not hey°
been lived in vain by very long odds. The
third clause of the bill has passed the Com-
mittee, and the fourth clause is now before
it. As this clause contains some very im-
portant me,tter, it is likely to be the cause
of some exceedingly heavy fighting, for the
4rapposition are sticking to their work with
the persistence of bulldogs, and there seems
to be no such word as " let-up" in their
vocabelary.

Religious Bribery,
We noticed by a report of a church ppe -
Mg, corner atone laying, or something :if.
that kind, which took place in a small 71-
lage in the County of Perth a short time
ago, that Mr. William Pridham, M. P., and
Hon. Thomas Ballantyne, M. P. P. for the
Riding, each -presented to the congregation
a good, round sum of money. We also +-
thud from the repott that resolutions stem-
mendatory of the generosity of these geie-
tlemen were passed by the cOngregation in
questien, while the several reperte of Ile
affair highly commended their liberal a id
;
Christian spirit, and so on. Now, witho t
questioning the religious zeal of these gen-
tlemen, which to say the least, is not a
notable characteristic of politicians gen r -
orally, although we frequently hear of th m
making liberal donations to church orga i-
zations, it may be worth while to enquire
consider whether such donations made
parliamentary and other representative men
are given out of pure devotion to the cause
or to buy influence at elections. Wn be-
lieve that in nine cases out of ten, the lat-
ter is the real object. Gifts are frequently
made to religious organizations by members
of Parliament who ,are known profiigatee,
and who are known to be exceedingly eare-
less dbout, if not actually scoffers at, re-
ligious affairs. And what is worse still,
these gifts are greedily aeoepted by the re-
ligious bodies, and are used by them in the
promotion of their church work, and the
donors are slobbered over by resolutions,com-
mending them for their liberality towards
the church. Heaven help the church that
has to depend upon such liberality, or that
will even accept it. It is a reproach to the
sacred name, There is too much 6f this
sort of thing being done, and it ia winked
at by both donors and recipients. In nine
cases out of ten we venture to say that the
denote would never have thought of making
such gifts but for the fact that they repre•
sent in parliament the- constituency in
which the church is situated. If this iel' the
case, why are gifts made ? We leave
any one who likes to fill in the answer. It
is bad enough fok. religious bodies to accept
of these gifts when they are bestowed vol-
untarily, but it is infinitely worse and more
discreditable to the saored name of religion
if, as is often done, the representatives are
asked and even importuned for them. So
long as gifts of this kind are accepted bjr
religious bodies, we oare not of what nam6t,
or denomination, it is only a farce and hy-
pocrisy for ministers from their pulpits to
inveigh against corruption on the part of
politicians, or for the public generally to ex-
pect honest government. The politician
who is, allowed to buy or bribe a religious
body or church congregation, will himself
be bought or bribed when the time , comes,
and the best element in his constituency
will not be in a position to say he did wrong
much less to ceneure him, because tbey were
themselves either bribed, or they winked- at
an attempt to bribe others.
We do not refer specially to the Carling-
ford case. We only use -it as an example.
Unfortunately, the practice pursued in this
instance by South Perth's representatives is
common in almost every Constituency. It
should be abandoned. If we can not look to
the church for an example in honeety and
purity, where then can we loek for it ? It
therefore behooves the church to abstain
from•this very plain 6.ppearance of evil. We

ced their desire to join the Liberal ranks,
as they had ipecorne disgusted with the Ot-
tawa regime: This is merely an outward
and tangibl4sign of what many scores of
Conservatives are doing in Ontario in a less
ostentatious! way. Mr. Foster is striking
foe the Contiervative leadership, judging by
his frequent visits to the various points in
the Province of Ontario, and by the pains be
is at in delivering forcible and eloquent
speeches. He lately attended the Coneerva-
live demonstraticins at Orangeville and Bol-
ton in the constituency of Cardwell and at
Cookstown in South Simcoe, and at all of
_these place(' resoletions were adopted ex-
pressing confidante in Mr. Meredith, but
.they studio,usly tefrained from expressieg
confidence in Sir John Thompson, simply
approving the policy of the Dominion Gov-
ernment. ' It is idle to say that as Sir John
Thompson 1:s the head of the Government he
is included 'in that term, because at these
party demonstrations confidenoe is usnally
voted in the party leader. It was in their -
capadity as! party leaders that mention was
always made id these resolutions of Sir
John Macdpnald and Sir John Abbott. Sir
John Thompson evidently does not stand
well in Ontario., Here we know that as a
matter! of act, but it must be painful to
him to observe the varioue signs so openly
displayed from time to time by his own fol-
lowers. There is a belief in many quarters
that before thelgeneral elections Sir John
Thompeen will resign his position, if by that
time he can arrange for a seat on the Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council in
Enghted, a position for which he would be
r eminently fitted. As a politician he has
proved a complete failure.
Lady Derby has been so perplexed by the
variety of suggeetions from all parts of Can-
ada as to the form which the present to the
Princess May and the Duke of York should
take that she 1 has written to ' his Royal
Highness sending him all the suggestions
and asking hint to choose from among them
tbe gift he and the Princess would prefer.

doing things, but it was probably the only

the hard times that the city of London, the

have ' furbished but one lubscriber to the
proposed gift. It must be hard times, be •
cause so much disloyalty as this would indi-
cate in any other place could not exist in a
city represented at Ottawa by Sir John Car•
ling, andat Toronto by Hon. W. R. Mere-
dith. OF is it possible that Lon n the

ArchbishoP Taohe, of Manitoba, h a writ-

the Separate School System until justice is

gain he made with Sir John Thompson and
Mr. Chapleau on the eve of the last general
election, When he intrigued with the Domin-
ion Government by promising to suppress
the pastoral letter he had prepared on the
subject if Sir John Thompson would prom-
ise in return to exercise the appellate
power to restore Separate Schools in the
event of the Courts deciding against them.
Sir John Thompson made good his promise
in so far as placing it in an official report
was concerned, and the Archbishop has
hopes no'-' doubt that the present Prime
Minister will complete his part of the loar-
gain by carrying out his promise in the full.

Board of Trade men, as well as business-

came known on Tuesday that James F. Mc-
Laughlin, the well-known grain dealer, had
been forced to make an assignment. The
misfortune so unlooked for was caused di-
rectly by his large holdings of Ontario
wheat, Lately Mr. McLaughlin has been
much in Chicago, having opened an office
there with J. C. Way, Listowel. But a
short while since, it will be remembered,
-McLaughlin sold his beautiful suburban
property, known as Blantyre Park, to Arch-
bishop Walsh. The liabilities are not yet
known. Another assignment made during
the week was that of Taylor, Scott & Com-
pany, wooden ware, brushes, etc. The lia-
bilities are placed at $30,000 and the firm
think the examination of their books will
'hew the assets well up to the same figure.

The Esplanade still wears its bee -hive as-
,pect. As big gengs of men are at work
under the City, Canadian Pecific Railway
and Grand Trunk. Several of the boat-
house buildings have been moved out to
their new position and the cribs and piling
are all ready to receive the remainder. Be-
fore the end of the season the whole bay
front will have undergone a change as com-
plete as it will be satisfactory to thoee who
in the past have complained of the. town's
poor appearance from the decks of incom-
ing steamers. - The contract for the con-
struction of the new train shed, south of
the preeent Union Depot and which is includ-
ed in the new Union Station plane, has been
let to the Central Bridge and Engineering
Company, of Peterboro, Ont,, and work
starts at once. General satisfaction is ex•
pressed at the manner in which the city of-
ficials are hustling through their share of
the Esplanade and water front improvements.
Compared with other civic jobs this one is
an out-and-out beauty.
The Farmers' Institutes and the
County Council.
As will be seen by the minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the County Council which we
published last week, the small grants asked
from the County for the support of Farmers'
Institutes, were most grudgingly given. In
fact the Council,by a considerable majority,
at first refueed any aid, and it was only
when the 'abject was brought up a second
time that the Councit, by a small majority,
decided to rescind their former refusal and
,I
make the grants. All that was asked was
$25 for e ch of the three Riding Institutes,
or $75 i all. The Ontario Government
gives a limilar grant, but the Government
grant ie contingent upon the County's sup-
plementing it by an equal amount, so that,
bad the County grants been withheld, as
the Council at first decided to do, the Gov-
ernment grants would not have been forth-
coming, and the Institutes would have lost
their imain means of support, and as a re-
sult.they would almost certainly have been
discOntinued in this County.
NOw let us see what the County receives
for /this trifling expenditure of $75. We'
will take the -South Riding as an example.
Laet season Institute meetinge were held at
sixidifferent points in the Riding. These

tery on the 21st inst. The charge of heresy
is based on a lecture delivered by Dr. Camp-
bell cna Itebruary 23rd in Queen's Univer-
sity,•Kingston, on " The Perfect Book, or
the Perfect Father." The lecture in brief
announced that the speaker no longer be-
lieved in the God portrayed in the Old Tes-
tament, the infallibility of which book he
had formerly taught ; and he even claimed
the right to criticise the New Testament.
The case promises to become almost as fam.
ous as that of Dr. Briggs, The General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
Canada was convened at Zion Church in
Brantford on Wednesday of last week.
The case of Prof. Campbell is creating not a
little discussion among the commissioners.
The Presbytery of Maitland, Brhoe and
Huron Counties, presented an overture
charging the professor with teaching doc-
trines oontrary to the Word of God and
at variarsce with the standards of the
Church. This pointed overture wsesepre-
Rented notwithstanding the fact thain the
Presbytery of Montreal has decided to in-
quire into the opinions expressed by Pro-
fessor Campbell, and which are said to have
given offence. There are some who think
that the professor should not be allowed to
continue as a professor for another year.
Canada is likely to make shorter work of this
case than the brethren across the border did
with Prof. Briggs. The case has been sent
to the Montreal Presbytery.
SUNDAY STREET CARS AGAIN.
Prof. Goldwin Smith evidently thinks the
time ripe for a renewal of the agitation for
Sunday street oars. In a letter to the pa-
pers he points out thet the substitution of
an electric for a horse -car system does away
with .sany of the arguments urged by the
opponents of the measure when it was sub-
mittkl to a vote and defeated.
THE MASSEY MUSIC HALL.
.Work on the Massey Music Hall is going
fOrward satisfactorily. In response to a re-
quest from Mr. Ma,teey, F. H. Torrington,
the father of things musical in Toronto, has
undertaken the control of a grand opening
musical festival to be given next May. It
is the wish of the generous donor that the
festival be made the grandest and most pop-
ular musical event in the history of Toronto.
Mr. Torrington's dearest hope for 20years has
been for a place suitable for entertainments
of this sort and large enough to accommo-
date all wishing to patronize it, and now
that his dream is so near realizetion no
doubt can exist that the next May's event
will be all that Mr. Massey looks for.

JOHN BERRY.
liesssto, June 2nd, 1893.
County Court and General
Sessions.
The County Court was held in Goderich,'
last week, by His Honor Judge Toms, the
only quasi -criminal ease being Greenslade
vs. Berry, an appeal from the decision of
Wm, Buchanen, j. P., of Hensa,11, imposing
a fine of one dollar on appellant for an as-
sault on Berry. The case was given to a
jury, who found that there was no assault
committed, and recommended • that each
party pey hie own costs in the appeal. His
Honor therefore quashed the conviction
without omits, smilingly suggesting that
when each had paid from $40 to $50 costs it
should be a eufficient lesson to prevent any
further quarreling between them.
The Grand Jury bad under consideration
through -the Clerk of the Peace the matter
of the mobbing of the house occupied by
the Carey gang some weeks ago but after a
host of supposed witnessee liad been ex-
amined the Jury returned " no bill " againet
the parties charged as taking part in the
raid.
The civil cases were disposed of as fel-
lows :
CHURCH MATTERS.
When Bishop Sweattnan transferred his
official belongings from St. James Cathedral,
the King -street edifice ceased to be the
chief church of the diocese, and St. Alban's
Cathedral in the north end took on more
importance. By the Bishop's endeavors a
large sum of money wale secured to erect the
eaetern chancel, which so far has sufficed for
the needs in the parish in which it stands,.
At the meeting of the Anglican Synod, this
week, the Bishop made an appeal for aid.
He said that St. Alban's was rapidly near-
ing a financial orisie. Among other import-
ant business transactions as this meeting
was the appointment of delegates to the
first General Synod of the ohureh to take
place in Toronto next September. This will
be the firet step teken toward the consolida-
tion of the Church in North America.
THE PROPHET OF BOND STREET.
It is 'said that the Rev. Dr. Wild, the
widely -known pastor of the Bond street
Congregational Church, in this city, will on
Sunday next announce his retirement from
the pastorate of the church. The church, it
appears, is somewhat in debt, and at the
yearly meeting of the congregation, held
some time ago, the suggestion was put for-
ward that Dr. Wild's salary be reduced
from $5,000 to $3,000. The euggestion was
not acted on, but the Doctor, of course, was
not particularly well pleased that it should
have been made, and when recentlx the
congregation refused to accede to bie request
that the congregational conference be invited
to hold its SeSSionS in the church next year,
owing to the expense which would attend
it, Dr. Wild felt that it was time for him
to resign.

sent that, in compliance with your Honor's

it
should be, but regret very uch that so
many poor are confined in ja 1, and are of
and a close observer of public affairs, ape
his review of the political and monekey
situation in the United Stets., as compared
with that in Canada, is logical in its sm.
ment and strongly favorable to the &t,
who matriculated from the Goderich
minion.

—Mr. Humphrey Vesper, of Exeter, died

time.
line, Stanley, on Wednesday of last week,
—A quiet event took plan on the Sadie
when Miss Mark Snow -den, eldest daughter
of Mrs. Snowden, was married to Mr. John
!Judie, of Goderich township. That the
bride was exceedingly popular was shown
by the large number of beautiful presents
received. The groom is an industrious
young farmer of the 7th concession of Gode.
rich township, and the very best wielies of a
large circle of acquaintances go out to them
at this particular time.
—On the 24th of April last John Berry,
of Hay, charged George Greenslade, of the
same township, and his neighbor, with au
assault. Mr. Berry summoned Greenslade
before W. Buchanan, Justice of the Peace,
who heard the complaint and fined Green-
slade. The latter appealed to the Session,
and the appeal was tried before Judge Toms
and a jury at Goderich on Tuesday of last
week, when the jury returned a verdict in
'favor of Greenslade and the codvicion was
quashed.
—While Messrs. T. Netterfield, Green,‘
W. J. Johnson and A. Reid, of near Wing -
ham, were returning home from. the County
Council meeting at Goderich, the other
evening, they were " held up " near St,
Helens. They were driving through a piece
ot stiamp, when suddenly two men sprang
forward and fired their revolvers. The dh-
guised persons then demanded the emu -
pants of the rig ,to hand out their money;
one of them replied " we have no mbney,''
the whip was applied to the horses and uo
more was heard of the would-be highway-
men. The supposition is that these persons
were on the lookout for some person or per-
sons and in the darkness mistook the rig for
the one they were looking for. It was rather
remarkable conduct.
