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. • THE HURON EXPOSITOR. suploions look for a cherish to swept a do- teniff Inquiry, hut teeally for • holiday.* He nation from the County IrePresentative, will charge his expensou to the country.

June 19th, 1898. - lt has been;definitely decided that Lord Derby, our overnor General, will leave Canada. on th• 15th of July. This com- pletes hie term of five keen, almost to a deer. Mr. Bowel!, the acting ?metier, told me a couple of months ago that so far as he t have Lord Stanley with Ils The event shows how little t it, but the wish was father knew we mig another peer. he knew alio to the thonght. The Goverment weravery anxious that 'the office should not beoome vacant at the present time, because when such oh rges are made 'against His -Excel- lency's dvisere as weee made against Mr. Haggar d Sit Adolphe Caron no one whe is not a par that is all L permit such - tizan of the Government, for ord Stanley has been, would Minister; to remain in office until a thorough investigation was held. The Government could not depend on Lord Aberdeen to Yefrain item interfering in mat- ters which affect so closely the honor and dignity of tbe Crown. Notwithstanding the attacks upon Lord Aberdeen, which are now appearir in certain newspapers, it is significant to notice that in England there is general approval of tlie appointment, By the time this letter is in type the great Liberai Convention will be almost over, and as you will have your own special reports any inference to it here is uncalled for. The Reform Club, newly formed in Ottawa, completed its organizetion on Sat- urday by th ' election of a President, and to- night the eo ly fitted up, Mr. Laurier formation of this club is due to Mr. H. A. Bate, the Ho orary Secretary of the Reform Asuciation. j The Admiralty in England have granted the widow of Commander Gordon, late Chief of the Protective Fieheries Service in Can- ada, a pension of WA per annum. He was a member of the Royal Navy. 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 can assure all concerned that it has a bed and , ms,whieh have been handsome - are to be formally opened by Most of the credit for the ! - The repor from the county of1Charlevoix, in the Provirice of Quebec, of a meeting held to appoint d legatee to the Cony ntion, fur- . niehed an in the spirits of which are at Mayor of a followed by ctrty Conservatives,and announ- 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. This seema to I be yather a peculiar way of doing things, but it was probably the only thing left Ito Her Excellency after . her own suggeetion of a sleigh with robes, envier bells and! harness had been so unanimouelk sat on by tier publiO press. It is perhaps at sign of the hard times that the city of London, the nameeake. of the heart of the Empire, should 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 leseer is cow a radical city ? ArchbishoP Taohe, of Manitoba, h a writ- ten a brochure again,dealing with th4 school question. In it he declares that he will keep up the flght for the re-establishment of the Separate School System until justice is obtained, He says nothing about the bar- 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. While Sir John Thompson and his colleagues were making this bargain with Archbishop Tache, at Mnntreal, for the* support of the Roman Mr. Cla support and Sir peculuse methods in the Maritime Province ; while tihe Canadian Pacific Railway were electilcandilates for the Government in Manito a. This is the way Government has been carried on under Conservative ideas for many years, and it will require a stern fight!to wean the people in each local- ity frohe their own particular nursing bot- tle. One of the most deplorable declarations ever made by a public man was heard from tile Cpokstown platform, when Col. Tyr- whittldeclared that the appointment of Mr. Clarke Wallace, as Controller of Customs, had 1?sen made by and in the interests of the Orangemen of Ontario.

TORONTO, June 19, 1898 On the Queen's birthday tbe island season WWI inaugurated, but it has taken this spell of the summer weather to send the citizens across the bay by thousands every evening. As of yore the merry go rounds provide the young with a nickel -worth of dizziness, the switch -back hurls ita passengers through space and the great and glorious season of peanuta and ice-oream is in full swing on the sands where Edward Hanlon played as a boy.

Night hides the far from beautiful surroundings and the excite- ment all around is fast and furious. No- body can say our people don't make the beat of their advantage.. GONE UP. Board of Trade men, as well as business- men generally, were surprised when it be- 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. Mr. Taylor is receiving sympathy on all sides for his hard luck. ident which will ether dash the Conservative party, spirits a very ,low ebb already, The arish came into the meeting, DAMAGED BY A WATERSPOUT.—T of Utzermatlan, Mexico, has been v a terrible waterspont, resulting in life and great damage.

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 t meetings were addressed, in addition to Peofeesore of the Agricullural College, by iseyeral of the most experienced and euc- oessful farmers in the Province,—men who have devoted their lives to farming, and villa have made a suceees of their calling. *sides these leading addresses, numerous r-\ ell -to-do feropol, ty, are United WHO WILL KISS THE BLA,RNEY The famous blarney stone from 131erney Castle, Ireland, has arrived at thel World's Fair and will be placed in the imitation Blarney Castle in the Irish village,hvhere all who choose to be lowered head downward may kiss it. Lady Aberdeen shipped the stone from Ireland.

TONE ?— 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.

DEAR EXPOSITOR. — Sometime ago an anonymous letter was received by Mr. George Greenslade,of Hay township, threat- ening his life, and as there has been a rum- our afloat to the effect that I was the author of the said letter, I wish to unconditionally deny any knowledge of, or complioity in the deed. In order to satisfy any person I shall leave samples of the handwriting of both my- self and my wife at the EXPOSITOR ioffioe, which may be compared at any time with the above mentioned letter. 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. wisommilmax=i4=Bimilso Browning vs. Browning—An action brought by a daughter against her father for the detention of her personal effects.
