OUR FETTER BOX
IN SELF-DEFENCE.
'J'o the Editor of the Clinton Neto Era,
MR, F,DIToi,—Raving been assailed in the
issue of your paper, of the 40. ipst., by one
who signs )himself Villager, you will favor
me by publishing the following :—
I have taught in the,.achool of section No.
S, Hallett, for the past fifteen years, and have
now eutered upon my sixteen year in the same
achool,and during all my time of service hero
I have never known of a complaint lodged
against ine by any one to any truetoo of this
S.S. This statement I dare Villager or any-
one else to contradict. But supposing I am
what Villager represents me to be, viz,—a poor
mould, Ike. Has he no other redress than to
slander me in the columns of a newspaper ?
Is that the only resource previded for Villager?
Why 1 He has the trustees and if they 4o not
give him satisfaction, he has the Inspector,
the Minister of Education, and the Courts of
Law to which he can appeal. Bat )Villager
tto doebt thinks that these methodstere im-
¢ 1 proper methods of dealing with a poor mould.
And why ? Because they would not bo likely
tojege,pseleresisesessensessraudelie eaye-'ka-weats.
" the worth of his money overytime. We are
told by one who differed very much in cbarac.
ter from Villager, and• este whom we should
imitate, `that "whosoever shall smite the one
the right cheek turn . to, 1491 tele otherlals.o."
- Now Vi1lagFr I would say $o you,fire away,
pile on your dirt. But be assured, the more
yon work in the dirt,.tho more yow shall get
tiJiatueared by it.
At a meeting of the board of trustees of this
S.S., held in the school house, Feb 10th., all
the members present, the following resole.
Con was unanimously adopted for publication.
Moved by James McConnell, and sec. by John
Johnston, that having learned that the abili-
ties of our teacher have been assailed by one
who signs himself Villager, iu the Clinton
New ERA, under the date of the 4th inst.,
we, the trustees of this S. S. do hereby con•
deme► Villager's, statements as being base and
cowardly, contemptible and malicious. And
we further ad'If that if we can find out the
propQr, name of Villager, that we shall assist
in dealing with him as the law directs, and -as
he justly deserves.
MR. EpITor.,—I have beard that I was ac-
cused by some for aiding in writing those let-
ters over the signature of .Resident, which
have lately been published in your papeb. I
emphatically deny the accusation. I never
wrote a word nor I never dictated a word to
bewritten in any of the letters referred to.
Now in conclusion, I wish to inform Villagdr,
._thatLdo not wish -nor will .I put .myself to
the trouble toreply (unless forded upon me)
to any more of his base 'illiterate trash
I am yours, TEACHER os. S.S. No..8, Hullett.
.A TbMELY CALL.
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era.
BIR,—flease let me toll the electors of
East, West and South Huron to remember
Tuesday, the 22nd inst,, and to get up early,
go everyman to the polls and vote to turn
out the rascals at Ottawa, For the love you
bear to ,your country. For the love you bear
to yourselves For the love yon bear to your
children and your children's children, do not
forget to be early at the polls to vote for Ed-
ward Blake, his party and good government.
This.isthe last appeal I will ever make to you'
in this cause, now or never save your country
from destruction. • IRementber yonr.taxes 821

getting worse. Mise to a emu and save, oh

`xrrhe uodrihatione for the Do.tniuion Elec-
tions occurred on Tuesday, The results
can only bo described as' snaking 'Victory
certain for the Liberals if a week of solid,
earnest work be put: iu.
„Thee -following constituencies were carried
by acclamation :—
In Ontstio, none.
In the Maritime Province, none, '
In British Columbia, one, Yale, by an
Independent. .
In Manitoba, one, Lisgar, by Mr. Rose,
. who calla himself 'as Independent; though
he often supports the Government.
`In Quebec, FIVE, all by gentlemen op•
G
posing the overnment.
In_additlon, to the acclamations, there
are ,two seats. iu which no Conservative
candidate is running. One of these is
' South Hnron. The other is Montreal West
where. the candidates are kr. IC. Ward,.
Lib., and gir. Donald Smith; Ind. The
latter has declared that he stands as an
absnlutIy unpledged c odidate, and on the'
tariff question he hal; expressed' views al-
most identical with those held by Mr.Blake.
Consequently, Montreal West must be
counted as lost to the Government.
•. The situation therefore stands as follow;
ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION
Alineterialiet,
NONE
Independent.
Mara, i'slc.
Rose, Lisgar.
Opposition.
Coursol:;-Montreal Ci''est.. -
Daudet, Nicole t.
Gigan1t, Rnut•ille,
`driver, Huntingdon,
Dupont, Bagnt.
No toty candidates in
South Huron,
\Vest -.Montreal.
Contrtist this with what happened in 1832
In t'llat election the Torics carried uo less
than tt*enty-fiesa_seltts by - acchrt satirist,
isgainst—one carried by the Liberals. The
'Tories also had no opposition in 'fiveorSix
of their seats. So .that at 'thy corres-
ponding time to this the Tories had in 1882
actually earritid 30 seats and the Liberals
------true—Whereas, now, the Opposition have
eevensea' s,L deptn.lentstwo,and the Tories
nothing.
A Quebec telegram in the Montreal
Witness, says :—The oornpeign in this dis-
trict has now reached the red hot stage.
Scarcely anything but politics, parties and
,candidates are talked of and all the con-
atituencies of the district will be deluged
with floods of eloquence to morrow. A.
porfec,t army of stump -speakers have lett
the city for the different parishes. In
Quebec \Vest, the only city division in
which the fight is really serious the means
used by the Government candidate, Mc-
preovy, to save himself from defeat, ere
positive disgrace toehecountry. in addi-
tion to gagging the whole of the Englith
press of the city every Government otiieinl
in the place who can be utilized as a can-
vasser or a bribery agent, 'has taken the
field in his favor ; even Armory mon from
the Citadel are doing this kind of wnrk,and
no stone is bei g left unturned to win the
leotion. The , corruption is open and
shamoloss and the Opposition are already in
possession of upwr(rda of tifty oases of the
most flagrant character. Still the Opposi-
tion count on carry ing the seat by a good
majority.
The Quebec Local I,VIinietera were all re.
elected by acciamatiou on Saturday.
The bookkeeper in McMillan'tt mill at
Winnipeg, was rnurdored on Saturday
night.
The Globo, in its Political notes, sayc`—
A man named Harley, who is perambulat-
ing East Huron,. will stand watching.
During a political meeting atTine Valley,
.Prince Edward Island, Friday night the
building in which it was held fell in. There
were about 300 people, inside but none
sustained fatal injuries. A number of men
had their shoulders dislocated, and many
received'severe injuries.
In;;Ottawa at the present moment there
'are hundreds of families almost on the
brinkof starvation This is no idle etatinent
in evidence of .which we may (mute the
following remarks Made by the sermon at
the Basilica hero last evening, ".There are
many families in Ottawa at the peesent
`time op the brink of destitution who are VV
unable ty obtain work.. We also know of
widowed mothers with families in this city
who go to bed at night cold and hungry po
and who have no idea how they aro vivo
to obtain their breakfast." „The detnnr'dccl^•
upon the charitable institutions of. this
city to relieve the, sufferings of the -anent- ,
ployed and destitute were never greater, '

RE AT

At Belleville, as in Kingston, the Rev.
dames Robertson, Superintendent of the
Presbyterian 'Missions in the Northwest,
in the strongest possible terms accused the
Dominion Government of the most. callous
and cruel neglect of the Indians - in tho
Northwest. The recital of -some scenes'
which came under his own obsorvatron
brought tears to the eyes of nearly of his
auditors, especially tho great dbstitutioifof
the children, who in etddition to being
starved were alae nakec eepestpl'e an audi

up of ladies, the•reverend gentleman could
not do justice,but ho denounced the whole
policy cf the Government, including the
question of schdols, and challenged con-
