NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
: %woo. He resigned the former seat aad
continued the representation of Siincoe,
Urns the vacancy in .13randon. The seat
has, no doubt, been kept open since Mr.
McCarthy's resignation so that it would be
available for the Minister of the Interior a
soon as he might be seleeted,as it lis- consid-
ered necessary that the gentlemii hading
that position should represent on of the
western constituenoies, either in fanitoha
or British Columbia.
It is said that the position .of Minister of
theInterior was offered to Mr. Sifton some
time ago, but he deal ned to ,accept it until
&satisfactory settlem nt of the Manitoba
School Question wa reaclled. .This new
having been accomplished he felt free to'
accept the position. He received th unan-
imous nomination of a conventihn coll posed
of Liberals and AloCarthyites in ti*3. con-
stituancy, of Brandon some weeks ago, but
he declined to accept it unless the settle-
ment of the Manitoba School Question,
which should be arranged, should be satis-
factory to the convention: A . -committee
oomposed.of both Liberals tand McOarthy-
ites was appointed by the convention to
whom Mr. 'Sifton would submit the. Mani-
toba School agreement, and if its terms
proved satisfactory_ to 'this committee, Mr.
Sifton should accept the nomination of the
convention and become the Liberal. and '
MoCarthyite candidate. The agreement
was submitted to this committee a few days
ago, and was unanimously aecepted by them
as eatiefactory, an. d they passed a resolution
to this effect. This were removed the only
existing obstaeles to Mr. Sifton . accepting'
the nomination of the Brandon convention
and being sworn in as Minister of the In
Both of these events have now taken
place, and it is hoped that we will soon hear
the last 4 both the Manitoba Scholl .Ques-
tion and he vacancy in the cabinet. 1
The new Minister will almost certainly be
elected. Indeed. it is stated by some
that he will not have any opposition.
He is a young mlan of very superior abilities.
• In fact, he is considered to be one of the
very ablest men in the Prairi4 Province.
He has been Attorney -General in the Mani-
toba. Government for threeor ' our years,
ever since Hon. Joseph Martin retired from
that pesition; and was Mr: Greenway's right
hand man. Ile has grown up with the
western country, having gon3 there when
quite a lad. He resides in Brandon, and
before entering the Manitoba cabinet, was
a practising barrister there.. He. is a good
man in every sense of the term, and Mr.
Laurier has shown his umual forethought
and wisdom in selecting him for so respon-
sible a position. There are now four ex -
Provincial Premiers in the Dominion cab-
inet.

- SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, "Nov. 20th, 1896
Settled at Last.
The very much vexed Manitoba • Se ool
t
Question seems 1.-.0 have been definitely et -
tied at last, -although the official announce-
ment has not yet been made. The terms,
however, are now pretty accurately kn own.
They are very much the same as was offered.
to the deputation from the late Tupper
Government by the Manitoba Government.
The Manitoba Government do not seern to
' have made any impertent concessions to
Mr. Leurier that they had not offered to Sir
Charles Tupper. The trouble with Sir
Charles and his party was, that they were
committed to Separate Schoole and nothing
else, and in the event of their not being Con-
ceded by Manitoba they were bound to pasa
a Remedial Act. Mr. Laurier, on the other
hand, was not pledged to either of these
propositions and was free to negotiate for O
middle course which would be satisfactory
to moderate men, both in Manitoba and the
Doraioion, and of both parties. This seems
to be the nature of the settlement which here
been brought about. The national school
system is be continued as now, but half
an hour each day is to be allowed for relig-
ioue instillation to be availed of by the
several religious denominations in proportion
to the attendance of pupilat the scho ols.
This instruction is to be given by the cler gy
of the section if they so desire, or by the
teacher, as decided by. the trustees. In
sections where there are a very large ma-
iority of Roman Catholic children, a teacher
of that faith is to be employed, and in sec-
tions where there are Freiach ohildren who
VIM:La talk English, the Frenclh language is
to be used in giving them the English in-
stenctiors. Ali. the teachers, howev er,
whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, are.
to undergo the same examinatiOn and to
have similar qualifications, and all schools
are to be inspected by Provincial Uspectors.
The entire school system is, also, to remain
under the contra of the Provincial Edu ca-
tionaI Department, the sense as 'before.
These ire the main features of the settle-
ment as they are said to exist. It may be
said here, also, that these concessions and
changes in the law are mad.e by the Mani-
tebe authorities themselves, so that the
Dominion does not coerce or interfere with
thein in anyway. The only part the Dom-
ini= Government will have in the matter
will be to pass an order in council agreeing
net to submit remedial legislation inter-
fering with the systeni of the Province as
amended.
The settlement, we believe, is satisfactory
to Mr. McCarthy and the Orange Sentinel
on the one sicle,and to Mr. Prendergast, the
lay leader of the French Catholics in • Mani-
toba, and Mr. Tarte, in behalf of the French
' Catholics in Quebec on the other side. T his
L i being the case, we who take a moderate mid-
. die course in matters of this kindoieed not
concern ourselves much about it. It is not,
however, we believe, satisfaetory to the
, Roman Catholic clergy as represented by
: Ihishop 'Angevin,. They, of course, desire -
a. distinct, system of Sepa,rate schools, the
same as we have in Ontario. Bate as that
is an impossibility, no doubt they -will,
when the matter is settled in so far as the
tsvo Governments are concerned, and wheel
the amendments are put in force, make the
best a the machinery that, has been placed
at their diaposah to secure to the children
a
- under their clearge as much religious instruc-
• tion as the regulations will permit. There is
no doubt but the politilians of all creeds
ad shades of politics are heartily tired and
sick of the matter, and that once a settle-
ment is arrived at by the t wo Governments,
.they will not seek to disturb it, and the ar-
isangement made will stand undisturbed,
perhaps, for many years. Mr. Laurier has,
thus, fulfilled his promise to settle the mat-
ter without the intervent ion of the
authority of the Dominion, and in a peace -
I i able way.
e----- -----
• The Minister of the Interior.
... Now that the Manitoba school difficulty
has been settled, all obstacles to the appoint-
ment of a Minister of the Interior seems to
have been removed. Mr. Clifford Sifton,
Attorney General in the lnlanitobrl. Govern-
.
raert, is the man selected for the position.
He has been sworn in at Ottawa, returns
Is immediately to Manitoba, will run for the
constituency ohBrandon, and if elected will
take his place in the•Dominion cabinet.
The writ for the Bra,ndon election has been
issued, the 27th of November being nomina-
tion and the 4th of October election. The
vaeancy in this constituency, as will be re-
membered, occurred, in this way: M a
Dalton McCarthy was elected for Brandon
as well as for his awn constituency of North

The journalistic sage of the Toronto Tele-
gram, remarks: And now, after all thiri
tans about mineral deposits, if fellow -citi-
zens could discover enrnigh coal in their
cellars to last through the winter, truly we
might consider ourselves blessed among the
nations."
The deer hunting season closed on -Satur-
day. Though the licenses issued were -unh-
usually large'the deer have notlared very.
badly. • The bush was so wet that both
men and hounds found it next to impossible
to enter.
Hon. Mr. Sifton, who has been made Min-
ister of the Interior in the Dominion Gov-
ernment, has resigned his position as At-
torney -General in the Manitoba Govern,-
ment. His successor Will be Hon. J. D.
Cameron, late Provincial Secretary. The
new member of the Government has not
yet been selected.
Hon. T. M. Daley, 'Minister of the In-
terior in -the late Boivell and Tupper Gov-
ernments, whose home is in Brandon, Mani-
toba, is at present in Rossland, the British.
Columbia gold camp, and it is said he in-
tends making that place his permanent resi-
dence. Hon: Joseph Martin is also likely -
to become a resident of Rossland.

than a kite."—Dundas Banner.
Rev. J. C. Madill, who was °nee promi-
nent as president of the P. P. A., seems to
be getting himself into trouble, if not dis-
grace. At a recent meeting of the Associa-
tion of the Western Congregational
Churches recently held at Halton, Mr.
Maddill was expelled from the ministry of
that church. He had been pastor of a .
congregation . and . getting into some
trouble there, members of I his con-
gregation preferred charges against him.
and he was asked to go before the com-
mittee and defend himself. This he re-
fused to do, and hence his expulsion.
There is trouble brewing in the ranks of
the P. P. A., a society of whiph a great
deal was heard about two years ago, and
.which it likely to end in a big law suit with
fat eosts from some one. One member of
thle assoeiation is suing the secretary of the
association, individually, for 5600 for sup-
plies famished the order. The secretary
was receiving a salary of 51,000 and says
the society is indebted te him in $800. He.
denies his responsibility for the claim, but
if responsible, he is applying to have other
prominent members stitch as • Dr. Ovens, of
-Parkhill, Dr. Dunsmore, of Stratford,. and
others in different parts of the province,
made to share the responsibility with him.
It is likely to make a ver 'ince law suit.
It, is expected that the Duke and Duchess
of York will visit Toronto next summer,
and that when there they will formally
open the new, city buildings. ][.is also ex-
pected that the person who is privileged to
do the honors on the occasion as Mayor ef
I the city will have the honor of Knighthood
conferred on him. Mr. Robert Fleming is
the Mayor this year, and he has a host of
friends who are anxious that he should oc-
cupy the same position next year, not alone
that he might- have royal honors showered
upon him, but because he has made the
best Mayor Toronto has had for many years.
It is said, also, that Mr. Gooderham is
looking for the position. Mr. Gooderham
is a very rich man; having made his money
by making whisky.. He is also a Tory.
These are two big points in his favor, while
Mr. Fleming is poor and a Grit. We no-
tice that the small fry papers of Toronto
that have a strong scent for casual advan-
tages, are down ii._Fleming strong, although
they do not show anything serious against
hitn. • It is not At all likely the people of To-

Wise they will stick to Fleming. He is a
olever young man and has shown himself to
be both able and willing to serve the city
honestly. There has been no \boodling in
Fleming's time, and that is something new
in Toronto civic government. He is, how
ever, too active a man to be loaded with
titles, and it, would be as well that the pro
posed "Sir" should go to sorrTe old fogy

see young Canadians hunting after honors
of this kind.
13e petition against the election of Mr.
A exender McLaren, M, P. for North Perth,
cane up for trial at Stratford on Wednes -
d y, and was dismissed, no evidence having
been offered in its sopped.
Mr. W. L. Gem.nill published a couple of
letters in Tiin Exrosi oh a short time ago
,from South Edmonton, in which he did not
paint the country ther abouts in very bright
colors, and gave as his opinion that there is
no money in the countLy and the people are
hard up, and so onIte has, evidently, got
himself into a hornet's nest, as several en-
raged Northerners are after him with a tol-
erably sharp stick. The Alberta Plaindeal-
er, published in South Edmonton, pitches
into him in great shape, and we have letters
from a couple of correspondents in the same
neighborhood who also combat his state-
ments. Mr. Gemmill had better get his life
insured and his scalp well fixed on, if he
intends continuing his residence in that
country. . .
The Toronte Mail has been making itself
1
ridiculous in its vindi tive and absurd at-
tacks on Hon. Mr. Ta
lic Works in the Domi
te, Minister of Pub-
nion Government. It
has recently been making a bigtfuss, because
as it pretends; he tried to take two cases of
liquor into the Indian Industrial schoohnear
Winnipeg, during his recent siisit • ther. .
;
Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. Tarte didn t
take any liquor -to the school at all, nor did
he try to get any in. He was the guest of
the Mayor .and Board of Trade of Winni-
peg, wbo invited him to go and see the St.
Andrew'..s Rapids and on their . way they
stopped at the Indian school, where he was
entertained at a luncheon. If, therefore,
there were liquors at the luncheon, it was
the • Winnipeg dignitaries who provided
them. It would have [been more honest on
the part of the Mail, when it referred to
the matter, to have made this explanation,
but if it had done eo,,it would have spoil-
ed its scandal against the Minister.

The Province of 'Ontario has seored an-
other victory in the courts,'or rather two
victories. In the .first place the Supretne
Court of Ontario has decided that it is the
Provincial and not the Dominion authcrities
who have the constitutional right to confer
I
on members of the( legal fraternitY the title
of Q. C.' This decision'however, will
likely be appealed from to the Privy Coun-
cil. • But there has been a decision of more
importance than this one rendered since. The
Dominion claimed that the Provinces of
Ontario and Quebec ha,d to provide for some
Indian annuities. This the Provinces dis-
puted and the matter was referred to the
courts. The Canadian court of appeal de-
• cided in fayor of the Province.' Thepo-
minion appealed to the Privy 1Council, and
that body has insb. decided to dismiss the
appeal. The Dominion will thus have to
provide for the noble red man. The sum
involved will amount to over a million dol-
lars, when capitalized. The Provinces
should breathe somewhat easier after this
decision. Ontario seems to be as fortunate
in its law suits under the new Premier as
it was under the old one. • However, it is
but fair to say, Oat this litigation has been
pending' since elfore the present Govern-
ment came into power.
It would mein that peace and unity does
not yet pervade the ranks of the Ooneerva-
tive party in Ontario.. A conference of the
Executive Committee for the Province was
held in Toronto the other clay: The Toroote
-Telegram, an independent Conservativepa-
pers does not . like the composition of this
committee,and Oinks that it does not prop-
erly represent the Conservative party. Hen.
John Haggett was chairilnan at this meeting.
The Telegrane says. "The gentlemen who
were preeetinide not represent the Ontario
Conservative party, or, if they doe there
are some thousands of 'Comiervatives who
are inaccurate in describing themselves as
belong to that body. The men who did the
fighting in line • have been ignored. The
committee is a caucus, managed on caucus
Methods, governed by. the men wile are
chief inthe caueus at,Ottawa. By implica-
tion, if not . by 'formal announcement, the
independent Conservatives, thei men who
believed that • the. main doctriises of the
party are right.; are told that they.mnst re-
main without the.pale or else accept John
Haggart as their leader in Ontario. They
may be pardoned for declining to obey the
conimand." •

serious aceidelet on Friday last. She was

from one part of the house to another, she
had occasion in the dark to pasthrough
the rooms,, .and although being aware that

moment, forgot all about' them and fell
down a distance of about 4 feet, her head
coming in contact with a stair, , cutting her
ear quite deeply in a couple of places and
otherwise injuring her arms and body. We
are pleased to state, however, that beyond
painful injuries, no bones were broken, and
that Miss Smith, will seen be quite recover-

G. F. Arnold and Louis Herald, acting un-
der. appointment from the eaid county

the census here, and although at date of
writing that duty is not completed, we are
haforrhed on good authority that the result
will show at least 800 regular inhabitants,
apart from a large number over and above
these_figures who are known as , visitors or
transient residents. From this it will be
seen that we have not only the necessary
750 required for incorporation, but quite a
surplus over, and while the • fact remains
that we have been progressing very nicely
in the past without incorporation, yet the
fact alike presents itself and faces us, that
we are without fire protection or proper
dreinage, both pressing wants. How are
we situated for raising the funds for tlaese
works, and'enuitably equalizing the cost on
the citizens? Could these two important
matters be satisfactorily arranged as we now
are we think the voice of the general
'public would ' be that incorporation
should not be applied for, but as this would
appear almost impossible, incorporation
seems the necessary thing for us.—Messrs.

grown, packed and shipped by me. Kindly
let me know your name and where you lire,
what price you paid, and io what condition
they were. Address , Huron Co.,

there was a postscript, and in a lady's hand,
and, naturally, it was the most interesting
part of the communicatiori. It ran:
Written by his daughter Edna. We have
eleven acres under orchard, just loaded.
I've been pulling apples all week. I think
I'd nearly as soon get married as pull
apples, so, if you are a nice young
men, just _ come along, that is if
you are not a farmer. I don't want -to pull
any more apples. Mother might say I was
too young, but never mind I'm seventeen.

Lively November
BTSL1EB ss
It's a aitaken idea that some people have, that
, up-to-date merch nts are always trying to cheat the
people. The re4 fact of the raatter is this—the
• merchants who 1 est understand business, and busi-
ness methods, are anxious to treat people in such a
way as to inspire confidence, and. to induce them to
• return again and again.
The " up-to-date" Physician constantly studies his
• profession, rads all the best periodicals bearing on
the subject, is ever on the look out for new
ren edies and new discover:es. Every energy is
1er4 with his whole heart toward the attainment of
- •
" the`top", in the Medical profession.
I's • exactly the same way with the "down to
date" Merchant' He is a busy man. He has his
up glades' down gradts, and curves, ovcr which his
bran; is travelling with '4 ExpreSs speed," • Hun-
dreds of thinas pass like lightning through his
mind. Then there's the study of the best qualities,
the best niarkets, the best time to buy, the lowest
freights, the right quantities, the correct styles, anfl
the best possible service for the pnblic.
All these things have been our "life study," and
it is this knowledge that brings to the front our up-
to-date ))usiness methods, and gives to the public,
our first-elass down to date Store." 'The talk of
. the merchants just now is CLOTHING. One
claims that 1c has the largest stock; another says
that he has the inside track on pries; another
. declares he will not be undersold, and so on. Now,
we have Clothing to sell too, and -what shall we
say 0, The ' whole ground has been covered, and
there doesn't seem to be rooin,for us to get a woril
in ways, but we MUST have a say in this
Frcin the prices that are being -quoted, Clothing,
has never been, offered in Seaforth for as little
money as at present; in fact, it -has simply become
the matter of making a sale. In the ordinary way
of friendly competition, we would not claim to offer
the public any greater inducements than our neigh-
,
bors, for our dollars are, worth. no more than other
•i)eople's dollars, but as matters stand today, it shall
.be " TinS .WAY' with us. No matter what
,
price is fixed as the lowest, we will meet that price,
and do it a shade less still.
We want to make every week from DOW until
Christmas, a buiy one. There are goods enough
here to keep our whole staff busy day in and day
,
out, selling, measuring, and, doing up parcels.
Large quantities of Clothing, Mantles, 3Iantle
Cloths, Fur Coats, Fur Capes, Shawls, Tweeds,
131ankcts, and other goods must be disposed of, and
there is bnt one way to do it, and that is by put-
ting the figures loW enough to effect a speedy
• clearance. • This we are prepared to do, as you
will see by calling any day Of the week.
