SBAFORTR, FRIDAY; Se t. 7th, 1900
The Ware.
The same old tactics are being continued
in South Africa. The Boers fight and run
away. Several small, engagements of this
kind have takers place during the past week.
All of them have resulted in victory to the
British, with bat slight losson their side,'
while they eucceeded in inflicting consider.
able punishment on the Boers, from whom
they are continually capturing sapplies and
gathering in a few straggling prisoners.
Lord Robe,rte has issued a proclamation de-
claring the Transvaal British territory.
This set on his part is looked upon by a
good many as an, indication that the war is
about closed. This, however, seems to be a
rather sanguine expectation, in View of the
oirournstances that are transpiring every
day, and aleo in view of the fact that the
Orange Free State was proclaimed British
territory three months ago, and the Boers,
are still giving trouble there, and seem to
be as aggressive as they are in the Trans,
veal. Ths leaders of the Boers appear de-
termined to give all the trouble they can,
and it new looks as- if there will be little
change until DeWet, Botha, Steyn, Kru-
ger and am the leading spirite are captured
- and sent to keep carnpany with Cronje.
There is not much change in the situation
in China. There has not been, any real ett-
gagement daring the peat week. The allied
forces still retain possession of Pekin, the
Chineeee Capital. There seems to be some
difference of opinion between the powers as
to the couree they should now pursue. Rus-
sia, France and the United States are die -
posed to abandun Pekin and withdraw their
forces from it now that the eoneuls and
British eubjects have been liberated. Eng-
land, Germany and; Japan are opposed to
such a course, ant1 contend that Pekin
should not be abandoned until some meas-
ure of peace is reatored, and a stable gov-
ernment satisfaatory- to the powers estala
lathed. It is moet likely that the latter
will prevail,

-Canada's (*rand Old Man,
Sir Richard Cartwright, Canada's grand
otdinan, was, last week, unanimously se-
lected as their candidate by the Liberals of
South Oxford, in convention aseembled.
No other name was mentioned at the con-
vention. The people of this grand old Lib -
oral eonetituency have placed the people of
Canada under deep obligations to them for
their generous act towards a good mans;
whose removal from public life would be a
great loss to the whole country. As every /
person knows, although Sir Richard has ,
rave nted this constituency for a good
ina.ny ears, he is not a resident of it nor is
he in any other way connected with it, and
although it is an honor to any constitu-
ency to have as its representative a gentle-
man of the power and distinction of Sir-,
Richard Cartwright, yet there are always
local men who very properly aspire to repre.
sent their own people in the counsels of their
-country. And thie is all the more common
in a one-eaded constituency such as South
Oxford, where the selection by the nomin-
ating conventicat practically meane election
and where a constituency eau be held with.
out the expenditure of much money or
labor. But, the leading Liberals of Sotith
Oxford seem to have sunk their own person-
al ambitions for the good of the country and
are quite willing that their eonstituenc y
ehould be used to keep in power a gentle- 1
man .of usefulness and ability, whom the
party could not well do without, such as
their present representative, and for this .
self abnegation they are not, only deserving
of the thanks of the Liberal party at large
but their good example might be followed
by other constituencies similarly favored.
It is true that a representative such as Sir
Richard brings credit to any constituency
and is able to bring to a constituency a re-
new and distinction which few local men
can secure for it. But thie is a fact which
too many local politicians, who are more self
seeking than those of South Oxford seem to
be, lose sight of.
South Oxford's -honored representative
bee been in political life in Canada, for well
nigh half a century, and few men have stood
the strain so welt as he has. He is more
popular and more fully*trusted to -day than
he ever Wax. It is not too mueh to` say
that no statesman in Canada enjoys more
tally the .confideuee and esteem of the
people generally than he does, and cense-
titiently there are none who lave greater in-
fittence. It is gratifying, therefore, that
auch a man, though suffering from .phyeical
infirmity, is Ktill able and willing to give his
servissee unsparingly to the country. Sir
eonveution epeeeh, howevt r,

cally all that he once \was, he has lost
nothing of tie; mental ',quer and vigor

The above is one of t e resolrtions p seed
at the Weet Huron c onseivative con-
vention held at Smi h's Hill on F iday
last. No person can find fault wit the
West Huron Conventi nists for ivin al

their making as man promises to hi for
the future as they may think neon& to

they da not strengt1 en their cans by
slandering their neighb rs. The state ent
contained in the resolution„ that a Cons rya -
Use) had .been eleatect in West Huro• to
support Mr. Whitney and that, the Grit
` machine ' workers lied robbed the (the
Conservatives) of their victory, is both false
and slanderous, as has been amply p OVen
in the courts. After a lengthy anti se rch-
ing investigation before the election c urt,
the only cases of bribe y or corruption that
were proven were two r three in the own
,
of Wingham, for whi h the party sva not

•_voted for Mr. Garrow, and. their votes ere

result ot the election ,would not have been

still have had a substantial majority. The
result of the election was not affeete by
these proven cages of bribery. Thi S teing
the case, therefore, it e gross impe tin nee
for the rifest Huron Conventio ist to
accuse their opponent of ',‘ robbing thorn of
their rights." In viesv of their aet, un-

"If you are doing we I under protection
why permit Fielding to .arry out, his po icy
of industrial exterminat on ?" So says the
Toronto Mail, This is a new song the Mail
is singing. For years the Mail irnd '0 her
Conservative papers have bean dingin it th
into the ears of the People that e Libe ale
have failed to keep the r promisee ,to the
people on the trade question ; . that they
have stolen the policy of the Conservatives
and that they had refused to mike any
change from the National Policy wHich
they formerly condennied. But, .pialsto

of eateltinlf the itivh nunuftteturers and /op.
int; them into the red parlor Cnce in0e.
Now, th t Nasional Phliciy is being destroyed
and the "-industries ext;ermineted." While
it is quite true that the present Government
have largely deereasta the duties on many
artiele9, and have earreep'endingly lightened
t le I ito dt ns x 4 the peopld, it is equally true
that tin 40 i eductionli have aided legitimate
ntanufacturing induetries. This fact was
handeomely ackhoa•ledgeel at the meeting of
the Canadian Manufactu .ers Associationin
,
1
Toronto, •the other day, by Mr. S. Coulson,
of Montreal, an lion Inassufaeturer of forty
years etanding. He maid "We in Mon-
treal are perfectly satisfied. We never were
en busy in our lives. We are so busy that
only half a dozen of us could get to this
meeting, and if they had ,grievances they
would have been here, Oui firm has been
in business for,over forty years, and I can
say that we have never experienced a tariff
that worked So well end smoothly as does
the present, and I can say that this is the
general feeling in Montreal. I only hope
that the next five or ten or more years may
give us a continuance of the era of prosper-
ity we have enjoyed during the last two
years." This does pot look like "industrial
extermination."
Dr. Landerkin has again been nominated
by the Liberals of South Grey. The doctor
has represented this constituency for '28
years, having only been defeated once. He
was nominated this year by the same gentle-
man who nominated hint 23 years ago.
South Grey is not a Grit hive by any means,
but' is pretty evenly divided politically.
The genial dootor, however, is universally
popular, and is considered to be the only
man who can hold it for the Liberals. Mr.
John McMillan, M. P. for South Huron,
attended the convention and delivered an
address. The Globe says of our represen-
tative : "South Grey is an agricultural
constituency, and in Mr. John McMillan, of
Huron, the yeomen of this riding found a
man who_ could talk good, hard common
sense in a logioal and convincing manner."
Mr. Charles G. Booker, of Hamilton, who
has been touring in Great Britain, and who
has taken in the Paris Exposition by, the
way, writing from old London to the Ham-
ilton Times, says : "Immorality is the
ourse-of Fiance. Whiskey is the bane of
Scotland. Beer -drinking is equally so of
England. I wish we could get some of our
very'radicial temperanee friends over here
and take them round a little. They would
go back with their ideas very much altered
in regard to our own laws. Here the beer
gardens, restaurants and saloons are open
all night Saturday aild most of Sunday, and
men and women ca be seen sitting in
crowds quaffing the'r liquor and enjoying
themselves. On my way to church Sunday'
I eaw lots of girlsa d boys, from eight td
fourteen, going in fo a jug of beer. It was
a sad sight. 1 am convinced that, if prop-
erly enforced, we ha re the beet laws /to be
found govering the liquor traffic." / o

Figures compiled y Mr. George Johnson,
the Dominion sta,tietician, with respect to
electric railways in Canada, show the mar-
velous increase in the use of electrical
power along this li e. /During the year
trading December 31st, 1899, there were
104,033,659 passengers carried, which is
equal to carrying every soul in the country
twenty times. ponipared with the previous
,year, the number of I passengers carried a-
'ereased .nearly ninel and one-half million.
The number of tra eters given in Toronto
was over ten and a h If million, These are
riot included in tljo passengers carried.
The amount of paid tip capital invested in
electric railways is $21,700,000. The steam
railways in 1899 carried 16,166,191 pawn -
gene The total number of miles run by the
electric ears- was 29,646,847, as against 25,-
292,959 miles for the steam railways. To-
gether the steam and electric railways car-
ried over 120,000,000 passengers, and the
proportion was about 13 by steam to 87 by
electricity, •

Uniforms for her 'soldidrs are not the sorb
of thing that Great Britain is likely to buy
in any `foreign country. They have former-
erly been supplied at home, but by reason of
the kindly sentiment aroused in Britain to-
wards Canada by the Imperial policy of the
present Canadian Government, the attention
of the War Office; has been turned to Can-
ada. The War Office and the Indian Gov-
ernment have sent several orders foruni-
forme, great -coats, fur caps, etc., to firms in
this country, and there are now on the way
from these firms to Vancouver 12,000 great.
coats, 22,000 pairs of moccasins, 1,200 fur
'caps and 11,000 pairs of liing stockings.
These goods have been ordeaed by the In-
dian Government for the Use of the troops
of that portion of the empire now in China.
They will be taken by the steamer Empress
of China to Shanghai and to Weihaiwei.. A
farther order from the Lon on War -Office
-for 30,000 great-coata andj 50,0001 khaki
suits will be completed in a few days ready
for shipment. It will be ifemebered that
large shipments of. hay froni Canada have
ftt
been made within the last !rear on orders
from the British Governme and another
of 3,000 tons leaves St. John next week.
The Liberal party have always shown
their solicitude for the intereipts of the work-
ing classes by • the !egislatth,n which they
carry into operation. The qntario Statute
books are lined with laws, nany, if not all
of which, have proven a grea bobn to those
who have to earn their --livelihood by phy-
sical toil in factories, shops nd even in out
door works. The Dominio Government -
are also moving along similar lines. In
addition to the provisions equiring con-
tractors on Government wo ks to pay to
their workmen not less th n the current
rates of wages in the dist ict where the
work is being performed, t e Government
have adopted another mgt lation, which
requires that all men employ d on Govern-
ment works shall be reside te of Canada.
The first contract to which this provision
applies is one far improvem nts in the hars
bor at Sarnia. The conditio s which Hon.
'Mr. Mulock, rifting Minis er of Public
Works, has incorporated in this contract,
expressly provides • that eery workman
shall be a Canadian residen . The u same
provieion is also to be inserte into the con-
tract for the breakwater at I ort Colborne,
and will find n place hencefo ward in every
Government contract for public works,

Some remarkable instances f the progress

that the foreign trade of Ca ada had last

South Huron Liberals.
A meeting of the Reform Association for
South Huron, as constituted for Dominion
purposes, was held in Dixon's hall, Bruce
-
field, on Tuesday last, There was a good
attendance of the stalwarts of the party,
every Municipality in the riding being rep-
resented. The chair was occupied by the
presidenv, Mr. Alexander Mustard, and
Mr. Thomas Fraser was in his place as sec-
retary. In a neat speech the president set
the ball rolling, explaining the reasons for
calling the meeti ig at the present time, nd
emphasizing the necessity for thorough nd
immediate organization.
The following officers were °loot d:
Alexander Mustard, Brumfield, preside t;
James! Snell, Hullett, vice -preside t ;
Thomas Fraser, Brumfield, secretary; J hn
Murdoch, Startley, treasurer. The foll w.
ing were elected chairmen for their ren ec-

smith, ugh. McCartney; Seaforth, D. D.
Wilson; McKillop, George Murdie
lett, Robert Scott. A committee, eons st-
ing of Mayor Wilson, Seaforth; the se re -
testy and Mr. Robert McMillan, Hull tt,
were appointed on resolutions.
The question of calling a convention for
the seleotion of a oandidatOvas discus ed
at some length, and it was ultimately e•
cided to leave the matter inthe hand of
the president and seoletarsa .who w re
authorized to summon a, convention it si oh
time as they may deern best, '
Mr., John MeMillarf, M. P., who as
present, was called' upon and delivere
lengthy address/ in which he lucidly planed the god work done by the pree nt
Government iince they came into po er,
and showed/Wherein their expenditures ad
been in the interests of the country nd
wherein also, the reduetione in the ta- iff
had been in the interests of the farmers nd
industrial climate He also inetanced he
great progress that has been made in alm et
every branch of commerce during the 1 et'
five years and the strong ties that ad
/been cemented between Great Britain nd
this country through the patriotic pol cy
pursued; He also defended tho Govern-
ment meet successfully from the charge of
extravagance which. have been so lavis ly
and recklessly made againat them by t eir
opponents. Short addresses were also m de
by Mr. Wm. Doig and others.
Resolutions strongly approving of he
conduct and policy of the Dominion nd
Provincial Governments were passedesmi fit
much enthusiasm. The meeting throu b-
out was most cordial and enthusiastic, nd
showed that the Liberals of this grand ld
constituency are as full of fight and as •e-
termined to maintain the Liberal banner at
the head of the procession, as they e Ter
Wer.
A meeting of the executive commit CS
was ie1d after the general meeting and r

bit of advice is contained in adveri
te of the Industrial Exhibition Asi-
' oblation, and the truth of it is borne ()pi
every year. Thosday and Friday wire
ideal days for visitors to see everything on
the ground e in ,comfort. The crowd/ was
Slim Thursday, and it was an easy matter
to make a tour of the buildings ve out be-
ing jostled hslf to death. Frid the at-
tendance vim again light, althongh in the
afternoon quite a number of pee(plel put in an
appearance. There was not large crowd,
however, and everybody we comfortable.
. The side shows report a falling off in
Wildness, which accounts/partially for a -de-
pression in the receipts/of the Association.
Friday's totals did not equal the money
taken in on the same day last year.
Boys from the Vitoria Industrial School
at Mimico,were yisitors at the grounds Fri -
&Sy. What they didn't see wasn't worth
seeing. Some of the more tractable of the
patients of Toronto asylum were aloe pres-
ent in charge of gaards.
The judging of horses this year is being
cairried on more to the satisfaction of the
ptiblio, On one side of the ring, to the im-
mtdiate west cf the grand stand, has been,
er eted a small covered stand for the use of
spectators. Judging has been eommenced,
and some of the best known thoroughbred
horse. in Canada were on the grounds.
Great interest was manifested to -day in
the Cobourg Boys' Brigade Band. They per-
formed from the platform at the electric
light tower,and attracted big crowds. The
diminutive drum major's juggling feats with
the baton were frequently applauded.
The unfortunate blind and crippled who
are lined along the sidewalk leading to the
main gate are not receiving liberal assist-
ance. Yesterday the man with the broken
back took in thirty-five cents. He had to
keep himself, his wife, three children and a
horse out of the day's proceeds.
The Bostick show properties at the Exhi-
bition have been bonded with the Canadian
Customs for $55,000. i
The York Pioneers' log cabin isi a place
well worth a visit. There is on -e hibition
there a complete set of crude ag ioultural
iMplements. The grain shovel, for instance,
is, hewn out of an oak log, and Weighs as
much as a strong man would care to handle.
The harrow is made of squared logs and the
pins are of elm. The cabin itself is reputed
to be the oldest, or the second °idiot, in the
Province. .
SOUTH APRIC,A.N CURIOS.
Dr. Ryerson, who has just returned from
South Africa, where he had been as Cana-
dian and British Red °rose. Commissioner,
brought with him a very fine collection of
cdriositiee, picked up on the battle fields
and elsewhere. These he has kindly placed
ist the disposal of the Exhibition Associ-
ation. They are displayed in cases in the
centre of the art gallery in the north wing
of the main building. All day long visitors
,
surrounded the exhibit, and admired the
°Ojos displayed. The objects taken from
the battle fields of South Africa, of course,
aroused the greatest amount of interest.
i When the Canadians and Highlanders
rushed the trenches at Paardeberg the Boers
were surprised while in the act of cooking
t eir meals. A small iron pot, standing
u on four lege, was found in a trench, and
t is is now included in Dr. Ryersoni,s col-
lection. The heada of treed shapnel shells,
Boer weapons of all kinde, cartridge ban-
deliers and printed manifestoes were also
picked up on the field of battle and given to
the Canadian and British Red Cross Com-
missioner. Besides these. things from the
veldt, the collection includes an autograph
from Lord Roberts, one of the Queen's Xmas
chocolate boxes and a number of swords
and seimetars Of all nations.

Rn•OraNina SE VICES. —The re -opening
services of the MetltrodisL church took place
on Sabbath and M nday eaenings of this
week, and were a irowning success. The
chum& has undergone some important alter-
ations inside, a new platform and desk be-
ing substituted for the old ones, and the
very beat taste and judgment has been
shown in the painting and paper hanging of
the walla. Everyt ing thoroughly harmon-
izes so well, and relilecte credit, on the de-
signers. The trust e board and the Ladies'
Aid, particularly t, e latter, deserve great
praise for their untiriog efforts, of which
their beautiful chureh is an evidence, The
services on Sabbath were taken by Rev. Mr.
Garbutt, of Gorrie, in the morning, and by
Rev. Charles W. Bristol, of Trowbridge, in
the evening, and twn excellent eermons were
given. The Wroxeter quartette led the
singing, and received many words of praise
for their musical eelectionm, The social on
the Monday night fellowing was &leo a ,sue -
cess. The speakers were the Reve. Rogers,
Garbutt and Anderson, of Bluevale, Gerrie
and Wroxeter respeotively, who, it is need-
less to say, performed their duties faithfully
and well. The Bluevale choir filled the
musical bill very aoceptably indeed. One
of the features of the evening was the pres-
entation of the R-' yal Humane Society's
f
medal to Master R bbie McLeod, for the
noble rescue of a fe low playmate, reterred
to last week. Th e duty was performed
very graoefully by llev. Mr, Anderson, but
Robbie was too shy lo enter the church, and J
n
Mr. Brethour was airointed trustee for the 1
medal during the eving.
