The Tariff anti the Denaoorats.
Although the Ilnited aides Congreasional
• Commi.ttee of Ways and Means doubtless
embodied in the- Wilson Bill the largest
measure of tariffneforrn they thought Con-
gress would adopt, events are showing that
they had hardly enough faith in their own
party. The Democratic majority in the
House of Repres4ntatives is showing by its
course that it deigred a much more sweeping
measure. lloweder, considering all things,
the Wilson Bill -is a big step in the right
direction and if i4 gets through in its pres-
ent shape the peePle of the United States
should be very grateful indeed.
The only danger now appears to be. frorn
the Senate. What this body will do cannot
possibly be predinted. There is at best not
a large Deznocrati.e majority and some of
those who form tha.t majority are unreliable
in the extreme, as, Ifor instance, Senators
Hill and MurphY, ot New York. The -for-
mer is a sworn fee of the President,:fis en-
tirely unserupuletts;is a disbeliever in even
the existence of tiaselfishness and patriotism.
He is a representative of all that is *haus
in Ammican politics, and his colleague is
his " man." These two, strange a.s it may
seem, wield' considerable influence in that
once august, body, and how they will use
that influence veal. be determined simply by
what David R Hill considers his best in-
terests. However, in spite of suspicious
circumstances, the prevailing opinion seems
to be that the vbill wilf go through all
The most cheering feature of this fight for
tariff reform in Congress, is the emphtic
way in which the majority has set:at na.nglit
the crafty plans of the self interested even
in their onm. party. It looked a few weeks
ago as if the Democratic Partfiwouhrmeet
114 -wreck on this rock of individual self in-
ierest. So black was the outlook that Har-
pers' Weekly, of New York, a paper which
has very strong leanings towards thatparty,
exclaimed in ilisiust at its inability te,
handle so large iv matter as tariff reform in
the interests Of the whole people, and
warned iti that if it failed now, ',many years
would intervenn before the people would
again. intrust ni it the administration of the
affairs of the nation. Now, however, the
horizon seems tO- be clearing. There is out
a, line between the beginnings of success and
failure, and, app'errently, the Democratic
party, though it hovered dangerously, near
that line for a hizag time, is now besaring
of:might away fi,om it towards success.
The Eittuse of Refuge.
:As will be seen by the report of the pro -
*Endings of the County Council, which we
publieh in anether ',coluimi, the House of
Refuge has receleed the stiffest boost it has
yet got. For sonie years Mr. Proudfoot,
deputy reeve of Godericlalhas been the lead-
er of the House of Refuge party in the
County Council I-16-ha,s stuck to the ship
through both stotm and. calm and his per-
severance has at length been rewarded by
securing fro* thd council a favorable vote
reeognizing the ne' cessity for and the. advan-
tages of such au -__institution. An: attempt
WIL'i made by the npposition to lay the mat-
ter upon the shelf until 1896, wheei eit is
eupposed the county debtowill be liquidated.
This proposition was vetoed and a resolu-
lion adopted appointing a ecimmittee to look
out, for a auitable secure plane ahd pre -
leen nitimates of tie probable cost of an in-
.
stitution to acemehnelate 75 inmates. This
committee is to Alsort, at- the June eession.
It is: poseible, howie-en that eonic of the
-brethren anay wa,kiet hy that, time aiid that

Proudfoot lilts got the courted a, step , fur-

was ale° canied reducing the allo '13ZU1, for

Bet, if this burden is lightened on the coun-
ty it will fall on the municipalities, ee
enost instances the theakipalities are pay-
ing as Much or mere for the eupport of their
wards as they receive from the • county. It
is evident, heWeven all' things being :em-
sitlertd, the feeling in favor of a House of
Refuge, both it the council and outelde of
it, is gradually, although elowly, growiug
st veneer.

TIMM still continue exceedingly dull on
the ether side of the line. The people of
the ?United States are learning, at a bitter
cost, that though it is fascinating to the
eyes, there is little but wind and bright coi-
n ors in a babble.
Tat Globe very correctly remarks : The
promotion of trade between, Canada and
1,19.11Stralia, is a project worthy of the earnest
ention of both Governments. But their
efarts shoulcl be restricted, as far as possi-
ble, to undoing what they have already done
toward making such trade . impossible -to
calling off the Watchers along the coast line
who make carriage_across the border more
expensive than across the ocean.

THE Toronto Empire seems to very
anxious that Sheriffs_ and Registrars should
be elected by the people, and that they
should be paid by salary instead of by fees.
This is all very good so far as it goes. But,
why does not the Enapire induce its own
friends to have officers under Dominion con-
trol eleeted ty the people and paid by salary
instead of fees ? It never turns --its atten-
tion in this direetion at,a11. Indeed, its own
leader in the Legislature voted against the
elective system when it was proposed in the
Legislature, and Mr. Meredith has never,
since made any sign to indicate a change of
mind.

Tata Toronto Mail remarks : " Mr. M. Y
McLean, the* •Liberal nominee in South
Huron, who recently cathe out in favor of
reforming the fee system, has now accepted
the platform of the Patrons. This commits
him to supporting the transference of the
pOwer nf appointing county officials from
the Government to the municipalities. Thus
on two important points he is a 'better Re-
formen than his leader. With a few follow-
ers of that Sort Sir Oliver;Mowat's good
intentions would be materially strength-
ened.''

Ka Dian Wilhelm, of Germany, and old
Prince Bismarek have had a meeting in Ber-
lin and become friends again, but it seems to
be fully understood that the affair is a
strictly personal matter, and has no bearing
whatever on politics. Count Caprivi, the
present Chancellor, still retains the' full con-
fidence of the Emperor.

-Nominations to fill two vacaneies at the
Winghaan Council board were held on Wed-
nesday morning of last week, from 11 to 12
o'clocke Only two nominations were made,
namely : Wm. Moore, by T. Jobb and G.
Green; George Green, by J. Currie and T.
Moore. Therefore unless one or both of
them fail to take the necessary paths an
election will be avoided.
-One evening lately a perty of youeg
people, with baskets well filled, drove over
from Goderich to the residence of. B. W.
Yeo, Clinton, and spent the evening in sing-
ing, reciting and various games. Among
those present were Messrs. Fitzgerald and
Audair, of Newfoundland. One- and all
were well pleased with the eaeningh enjoyj
ment:
-A couple of loads of young people drove
out from Wingham the nesidence Mr.
Ben.- Henning, in Turnberry, the other
evening, where they enjoyed a regular eld-
fas14oned dance -the kind where those par-
!
tieipating have th--#. fun. A hind wheel on
.one of the rigs " dished" on the B line oat
the return trip, nece.asitating a walk of
about a mile into the town. Luckily .110
person was hurt.
-The moose which wee being wintered
by Mr. John belbridge, Uaborne, was
found dead in the bush the ,othF morning.
The causeof death is not known.
-A very enjoyable and successful Or
social was held at the residence of omas
Maunders recently, in Morris. The rain
during the day kept a large number frOin.
attending, yet the commodious house *as
well filled and the Ladies' .AssoCiation
Brussels Methodist church is $10 or $12 the
better of it. An interesting programMe
was presented, Rev. G. H.Cohbledick, B.D.,
being in the chair.
-On Monday evening of last week, a son
of Frank Hogg, of Wingham, aged aboaa
ten years, attempted to elitab on to a w on
near the market, which 'Was in motion.
foot got between the spokes of a hind wheel,
he fell, and a badly sprainect ankle Was .the
result. The driver s first knowledge of the
boy's attempt to take a ride was when he
heard his cry of pain. Mr. D. Sutherland
was passing by and. immediately picked the
lad up and carried hixn to -a doctor.
-The friends of -Miss Adelaide Williams
of Fordwich, are feeling very anxious as 1344
her whereabouts. She had been stopping
with a friend, Mrs. S. G. Tidy, 120 Bolton
avenue, Toronto, and on Saturday left there,
stating that she intended to pay a visit to a
friend, Miss Mary Allen, a lady medical
student, residing at 432 Parliament street.
Since then she has not been seen or heard of.
-A few days ago as Wm. H. Keeler, of
Brussels', was drivipg his young horse along
the 3rd line of Morris, it became frightened
at a pile of wood in front of Joel H. Sellars'
farm and started to run away. Mr. Keeler
held on to him with one hand, the other be-
ing disabled for a time by an accident, and
before he -could bring him under control he
had badlY damaged the cutter. Mr. Keeler
is now asking for remuneration from the
owner of the wood pile.
-The membere of the Clinton Gun Club
would like to know who " J. McGuire " is.
At the Hamilton Gun Club tournaanent
lately, some party who was doing some
wretched scoring, gave his name as J. Mc-
Guire Clinton, thus throwing the onus for
his bail shooting on the Clinton Gun' Club.
As the Clinton Olub was not represented at
the tournament, its members. are naturally
anxious to know who it was that was
ashamed of his own shooting.
-John J. Gorsality, of Cranbrook, who
has been trying his fortune in the North-
west, has returned. He is not favorably
impressed with that country and says the
last two bad crops made the farmers look
blue. He was werking in the district where
the hail destroyed the crop this year and out
of one hundred acres of wheat sewn last
spring they onlY. cut some twenty acre z,
which turned out abont 80 bushels of wheat.
-The other day the eldest son of Mr.
William Moon, of Londeaboro, in trying to
reach some grain in a barrel, over -balanced
and could-noy get back off the edge of the
barrel. He was in that position for some
time, until his father found him and lifted
him down. He complained of being hurt,
and soon inflammation set in and he died
soon afterward. He was a bright, clever
boy, and his parents have the sympethy of
the whole community.
-Thereswas some little excitement caused
in Bayfield the other day, when smoke was
"discovered issuing from the reef of the Al-
bion hotel. Quite a crowd gathered in a
few minutes, and it wasn't long before
enough water was thrown down the chimney
to start a fair sized swimming bath in the
rooms below. Upon tearing off a few
shingles, however, a hole was discovered in
the chimney beneath the roof and the cause
of the alarm was made apparent. No great
damage was done.
-The amount of money expended by the
West Huron Temperance Organization, in
furthering the interests of the Plebiscite,
prior to the vote being taken, was certainly
not very large. The total amount collected
was $125.75, and of this amount only $102.-
18 was expended, the sum of $76.10 going to
pay the expenses of lecturers, and the bal-
ance being for incidentals. This was cer-
tainly a moderate outlay. The amount ex-
pended in East Huron was even less, being
somedhere ebout $80, but the Executive
there has a deficit instead of a surplus.
-One evening lately, as a Colborne youth
was out driving, thehorse became disgusted
, with the rough, hard roads, and thought he
would take the grass for "it, and in spite of
the protestations of the occupants of the
buggy jumped over the fence into a field,
and was taking a straight; line acroes lots
for home. This, however he was unable to
do • and had to content hAself with a circle
or 'two around the field, ; when all three
were willing to take the road again.
This horse has n, few bad habits which
it would be well to break him of, before
he can be driven after ' dark with one
hand. 7
--Tor some time Mr. Thomas Murch has
been Bible Claes teacher in connection with
Ontarie Street Sabbath School, Clinton, and
notwithstanding his removal to Holmesville,
continues to discharge the duties of that
position. On Tuesday eveeing of last week,
the members of his- class eathered at the
meeting of the young peopie, of which he is
also president, and Mr. John Foster, with
?assumed seriousness, -made him a present of
a fine easy chair, accompanied by an address,
couched in very kindly language, which was
suitably acknowledged by the surprised re-
cipient.
-Mr. R. J. Macdonald was the firat one
diseover the recent fire _tn Clinton, and
his own esca,pewas almost providential. He
sleeps in the second stery over Jackson
Brothers store, and was awakened by smoke
in. the room. ; thinking it was caused by a
boy putting a fire in the furnace, as had
been the case before, he tinned over in bed,
pulled the clothes over his head, and tried
to sleep ; the -smoke increased and became
unbearable, and in alarm he got up, almost
suffocated, and slipping ' on part of his
clothes; it wasavith difficulty he made his
way out of the building, and then gave the
alarm.
-The Rural Decanal Chapter of the
Deanery of Huron met in St. Paul's church,
Wingham, on Wednesday of last week,
Rural Dean Hodgins presiding. The meet-
ing was a most successful one, all the clergy
in the Dea,nery'being present, except one,
who was absent on account of a d.eath in his
parish. The evehing meeting took the
form of a public service, whenthe following,
gentlemen spoke : Rev. .Jeannes, on the
Work of the Church ; Rev. C. Miles, on the
Relation of the Church to the Children ;
Rev. J. Fairlie, on the Societies within
the Church, and Rural Dept Hodgins, on
the Dutyof the Chureh to Strangers.
-The annual meeting of the Exeter Cream-
ery Association was held in the Town Hall,
Exeter, en Saturday, 20th inst. The differ-
ent reports went to show that the result of
last season's Operations had been reasonably
satisfactory, taking into consideration the
difficulties -with which „the factory had to
eemtend and aleo the fact:Plat last season was
unfavorable to rite success of Creameries
throughout . the country. The fatmers ap-
peared hopeful of the future and are deter.
mined to use every efforttto push the factory
next season. The officers elected for the en-
suing year are as follows :- President, A.
Bishop ; Vice -President, Wee Northeote ;
Directors, Messrs.P. Madge, A. Q. Bolder,
W. G. Bissett and Dr. Lutz.
-Charlie, the youngest son of Mr. T. Bell,
of Wingham, has been causing his parents pl
vera- much anxiety lately. On &Imlay ,• eLA t
ing of last week, Mrs. Bell -went into the Duaseit
cellar accompanied by Charlie, and in a few dayd wi
mornents returned up stairs again, bet re- 'hak its1
peated calls and the threat to close the, door end:
on him did not elicit a word from him. "Just • Marys,
then Mr. returned from church, and on
hearing fif it immediately went down and
found hiS son insensible on the floor.
Charlie's heart -has been tr:)iublinig tdm of
late, and this is supposed to have been the
cause of his falling, by which coneussion of
the brain x-esulted.
-John' A. McEwen is dead. A well-
known figure will no more be seen in this
world. Deceased was one of the eaaly set-
tlers of the northern part of Morris town-
ship ; a native -of -Perthshire, Scotland ;
a Reformer in politics, and some years ago
was created a Justice of the Peaee by Sir
Oliver Mawat. Feat there are -who did not
knoti him in this seetion, and Many expres-
sions of regret are heard on all sides. La
grippe, Wowed by pneumonia, was the
cause of his death, which occurred on Mon-
day morning ,of last week. He leaves a
grown:up, family of two sons and three
daughters to apourn his loss. The funeral
on Wednesday was a very large one, being
attended by farmers for miles around, be-
sides a large number who went out from
Wingham.
-Mention was made last week of the ill-
ness of Mies McCallum, at Toronto, and we
regret that we are this week called upon to
announce her death, whieh occurred on Sat-
urday afternoon, 22nd inst. She,..had been
teaching school in Manitoba, and not being
