So good a Coneervate paper as the Montreal Gazette goes this far in the right direction: -- "We can conceive of no method Is it Spreading. The Stratford Sun, edited by a moat pronounced Conservative, admits that a very decided annexation sentiment is gaining ground in the country. It further states that this may not be a pleasant truth to contemplate, but it believes it to be wiser to recognize the fact, and set about checking it, if pee- ` Bible, sooner titan ignoring it altogether. We are not at all surprised that in places like Stratford, London, and other points that have intercourse so closely with Ameii,;ans, by the avenues of travel, that a feeling of this kind should gain a foothold, for very few can come in contact with the average resi• dent of the neighboring republic, with- out admiring their business energy and push, their genial courteousness, and .secretly wishing that more of the same was exp, rienced here. This feeling will develope itself even though one bas an innate feeling of dislike to any- thing American. In the places more remotely removed from the direct line of travel between Canada and the I'nited States, there ie little or no desire for annexation. There is a desire for the removal of the trade harries between the two countries, but that removal does not necessarily carry political allegiance. The chief, and we suppose, only grounds for desiring annexation, is that trade might be improved thereby. The trade of the country could certain- ly stand a great deal of improvement but the same could be accomplished by commerical union. It i8 quite possible that if some ef- . forts are not made to utilize our re- sources and avail ourselves of the very best avenues of trade, that the annex- ation feeling will spread, until it be- comes no uncertain element. • We are in favor of the closest coni- inercial relations with our friends ac - cross the border- To usela vernacular, 'we are there with both handstand feet.". We have seen property tdepre- oiated and experienced tinier that have been hard long enough. Our business men and others are not desirous of a continuation thereof much Longer, and are willing to accept that which offers a change for the better, so long as it does not call for the surrender of na- tional association and rights. We are not in favor of annexation, pure and simple, and in our opinion the only way to check the spread of that sent- iment is to encourage trade with bur brethren across tie border, and at tho same time retain our political status and allegiance. Direct or Indirect. At the last annual meeting.of the Dominion Grange, a series of questions was submitted and approved for dis- cussion at the meeting of the subordinr ate granges. One of these questions Is this:—"Is it to the interest of the arniere to pay taxes directly or indi- rectly, as at present done." As the farmer now pays his local or town- ship taxes directly, we suppose the question has application to the general system of taxation. As itis a mat- ter on which two opinions already exist, it will likely give rise to good debates,) whenever it conies up in the grange for discussion. We have hitherto pronounced an opinion on this subject, and at the present time it is scarcely necessary to do more than repeat that. We are an advocate of direct taxation, out and out, assuming, of course, that our pre- sent method of governmeet and the raising of revenue is to be continued. Those opposed to direct taxation at once raise a scare crow before the people's eyes, and assure them that any number of evils will follow the adoption of this principal. If this be true, the levying of muni- cipal taxes directly is wrong. Every ratepayer, on payment of his local ttta$e, Enda that so much is for "school rate," so much for "country rate," so much for "local improvement," and so on. He is able to see at a glance, what his money is required for, and would not be eatished if he did not. According to some people this is all wrong. Their theory is that jjt the amount of taxation should be collected, but in a way so that the payer does not know what amount he is paying. The objection is further advanced that it is not right or fair to institute a comparison between local taxes and Dominion taxes. We are told that they are so ent?rely different, and there is no analagy between the two positions. We do not admit the: We claim that to a very large extent, the positions are identical, being simply larger in degree. It Will be argued that it would be " Inipoesible to Ivey Dominion taxes $itfe'otly. By no means impossible, r!i11.;titesent system only requires sim• more conducive to the good adminis- tration of provincial affairs than the introduction of the American plan of direct taxation for local purposes. such as already prevails in the municipalit- ies.,, i ow— He's He's a Modest Young Mau. The following editorial reference to Mr J. G. Holmes' speech to the Orange- men, appeared in the Winghain Ad- vance. 1'or extravagance of language it fairly "takes the cake." Of course we would not insinuate that he wrote it himself, but imagine the "transports of joy" and -hundreds shaking hands with him." Just read the paragraph :— "Mr Holmes' speech was a most bril- liant display of eloquence, and it was generally conceded that a more noble speech was never before delivered to a body of Orangemenlin Canada. It was mild, statesmanlike and temperate. He spoke for more than an hour, an d during the whole time was listened to with rapt attention. He was through- out most enthusiastically applauded ; at the close hundreds collected around hint to congratulate and shake hands with him. The q,eople generally were transported with joy at such an extra- ordinary effort of eloquence from so young an orator." Hard on Huron. There sould be some other place for the indigent than the country jails. Pauperism is not a crime, and it is not always a disgrace, although it is always a misfortune. The Canadian Presby- terian says: It is a disgrace to the civilized, not to say Christianized, country that peo- ple should be cor.fined in jail si ply because they are too old to earn a ling. The head and front of their offending is that they did not die soon enough. Is it a crime to live ? If we read any - whore that the Russian Government put men in jail because they did not die early, how we would denountls the atrocity ! And yet nien are put in the county jails of Ontario because they are aged, or crippled, or in some way unable to take care of thernsevles. 'What :lo the county councillors of Huron think of this. If some of then are not ashamed of themselves, it is be. cause they have lost all feelings of shame. May be True 3 et. If Mt J. G. Holmes, of Toronto, got what he is said to have received for con- testing South Huron, it paid him better for being defeated than if he had been elected. He is said to have received the sum of $1,000.—Clinton New Era. Our cotem has its information slight- ly distorted. Instead of Mr Holmes receiving $1,000 fol• contesting South Huron, it cost him nearly that for per- sonal expenses —Exeter Times. It may have cost him all that the Times says, but if it did his personal expenses were too much, and the amount never came out of his pocket. We still have reason to believe,however, that our original statement is correct. Still Increasing. We have just received from the Ilon. John Carling, the Statistical year Book of Canada, for 1889. It contains quite a lot of information and we sup- pose our Conservative friends will ac- cept the figures in it without question. On page 215 will be found a table giving the Imports and Exports of Canada for the year 1889, and these figures show how our trade with the United States is increasing, and that with Great Britain decreasing. Let the figures speak for themselves:— Imports from U. States,.. 956,368,900 Exports to United States, 943,522,404 $99,891,304 Imports from G. Britain, $42,249,555 Exports to Great Britain, $38,105,126 $80,354,681 Thus our trade with the States is 919,000,000 more than with Great Britain in 1889, and over eight million more than it was with the States .in 1888. Our trade also is over one mil- lion dollars less with Great Britain than in 1888. These figures surely show the drift of trade, and the absurdity of try- ing to direct it from ite natural chan- nels. Current rumor states that County Treasurer Holmes has longing eyes on the Conservative representation + of West Huron, in the Dominion House, and that he will get the nomination. The doctor should make a strong can- didate, as he was born in the riding, but we think a Liberal can be planed fn the field, who would whip him, if the riding is allowed to remain as it ie. Whiskey drinking may be the princi- pal casae of crime. But is not poverty the principal canoe of whiskey drink- ing?—Hamilton Times. Certainly not. But whiskey drink- ing is the principal cause of poverty.— Clinton NEW Ens. Well, what is the principal cense of whiekey drinking? --Hamilton Times Natural depravity, followed by cul- tivated desire, apart altogether from wealth or poverty.

Why not get up a Liberal demonstra- tion for the County of Huron, and have him speak at Clinton. It is thirteen years since anything of the kind was help in the county, and it would give the people of Huron an opportunity to hear Mr Laurier.

A 'GOOD CROWD. To the Editor of the Clinton New Ern. Stet—A select crowd drove from Clinton to Goderich, to the Metho- dist picnic, on Tuesday, breaking down cherry trees and robbing pea fields on the way (gond Methodist conduct). On arriving in Goderich they put up at the best hotels in the place, and throwing on such airs that you would not have supposed they had been robbing pea fields on the aay up, and were too conceited to join the picnickers. After taking in the theatre they proposed going home, and arrived in Clinton at an early hour next morning. The boys getting sleepy in the night air, rhe girls took charge of the lines and were heard to exclaim •'Just lean on me, I'm all right." The following day all trunks were packed, and the merry crowd lett in search of another picnic, with the exception of one,and she, not caring to join them, re- mained in Clinton to face the storm. SPECTATOR. [The parties shaded to had no con- nection whatever with the Methodist picnic, but were certain parties bent on having a good time, no matter how they got it.—En. NEW ERA, Sourethitig on the other side. To the Editor of the Clinton Nero lam . DEAR Silt, --In your issue of the 1st inst., there appeared an article by "Ob- server," with whose comments on the methods of raising money by socials, &c., I agree; but I must take excep- tion to his interpretation of the Bible rule. I believe in the scriptural rule, but maintain that we have as good a right to P011 our debts to God as to pay our fellow -men their due. Now, the Bible teaches that God de- mands the tenth of what He gives us, and it is not *in/ to Him to pay that tenth. He has as much right to his own as our earthly creditors have to what we owe them. After we have pairs that tenth we can talk of giving, or making a sacrifice. I believe it is no more giving to the cause of God to pay our minister than it is to pay our teach- •er, both being engaged in the sane grand work. Observer confounds patting our debt to God, which, according to scripture may be done openly, not ostentatiously, with giving alms to the poor, which should be done without show, a auffi- cient reason being that our poor have sensitive feelings and these should be respected. Christ did not condemn the open method in the first case. He and the disciples saw the offerings of the people in the sanctuary and commended the mite of the poor woman. God commands the gathering of the tithes into the store -house, and the lay• ing up of offerings against the first day of the week. A great -many are fond of quoting, "Let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth," but, I have notioed,it is more used by those who are able to give but not willing than by God's poor. The latter need no cloak, and are ae much respected for giving or paying, ae the Lord has prospered them, as their richer neighbor. I have no wish to appear in print, and pen these words with the hope that they may cause the reader to think. ONI: WHO TniiR TO PAY. The calm- en of Aberdeen, Scotland, have struck, and not a cab in the city is running. 7. W. Watson, a well-known literary man, author of "Beautiful Snow," died in New Ycrs on Saturday, aged 68, Three hundred friends of Mr Peter Graham, ex-M.F.P. for East Lambton, met at his residence in Warwick on Fri- day and presented him with a gold. headed cane, on hisattainment of three more and ten years.

A plague of moth flies, or electric light bugs, invaded Pottsville, Pa., on Thursday night, and literally covered everything. The Salvation Army throughout the world now raises something like $4,000,- 000 a year, aua is extending uvar all nations of the earth. Wm. Rowe, better known as -Paddy Rats," died at Toronto on Friday, of consumption, after six months' illness. He was one of the most notorious of Toronto characters. Erastus J. Ferguson, of Farewell, Mich., was shot and instantly killed by John C: Lord, of Lake Station. Fer- gudon was huckleberrying in a niareh north of Lake, and was mistaken for a bear by Lord. Douglas Petty, who obtained notor- iety as an important witness in the Birchell-Benwell case, intends to make a short trip through the States, and will then reside in Kingston while awaiting the trial of Birchali. Vanderbilt's check for 5710,000, for some time the largest ever drawn, has been overshadowed by a check of $1,- 250,000, drawn by the Indian & Penin- sular Railroad Company on the London and County Bank of London. A lady in Kingston stepped un a rusty nail, lockjaw ensued and the whole body became rigid. Nourishment was ad- ministered by means of a clay pipe, the stem of which was inserted through the opening made by a lost tooth, and now the patient is recovering. B. 1'. Spinney, a business plan of Colorado Springs, was kidnapped three weeks ago by a Texan who claimed that Spinney owed him $2,000 for cattle. A brother-in-law started with money to pay the claim and he -also has disap• peered. It is believed the Texan has killed both. The nine-year-old daughter of Mr JohnNorthcott,of the fourth concession, Township of North Dorchester, had one her of legs cut off by getting in front of the mower on Thursday, the 17tH inst. The father did not observe the child, as his hat was drawn down over his eyes, and he was watching the knives of the machine. A Virginia lumberman covered an oak log with walnut bark so neatly as to deceive all but the most practiced eyes, and sold it for 5160. The officers of the law are after him, and he will probably now have an opportunity of reflecting upon the question whether walnut or honesty is the more valuable commodity. Chas. F. Lyster,a native of Blenheim Ont., died at Covington, Ky., on the 9th inst., of consumption. He was a lawyer, jonrnaliat and Methodist prea- cher, and was highly esteemed. He was educated at the Woodstock College, and taught two seasons at Vandecar. Deceased was a soli of John C. Lyster. John Pegg, of North Pelham, who had his skull broken by a kick from a horse on Wednesday last,to the surprise of everybody, will get well. Pegg was driven into a stall a distance of ten feet by the vicious kick of the animal and landed on the back of his head. He was picked up insensible, with an ugly gash in his forehead directly over the right eye. The eye will have to come out, but the man's life will be saved. At St. Joseph, Mich., a man has tak- en to raising frogs for the large cities of the United States,in which there seems to be a big demand for the dainty of frog legs. It is said that this man will realize several thousand dollars from the 900,000 pollywogs which he is rais- ing. 'Here is a hint for owners of swamps everywhere. There seems to be more money in frog extremities than in farm produce these days. Unfor- tunately the appetite for this item of food is not very general. Public School Trustee Mingay, of Toronto, narrowly escaped going over Niagara Falls on Monday. He was with many others on a small pleasure steamer half a mile above the Falls, when the machinery of the Steamer got out of order, and the steamer be- gan to drift fast down stream. The anchor was dropped and made fast to the post in the boat. The post broke away, and it looked for a moment as if the anchor had gone. The iron guard, however, held the rope and a eatas- trophe was averted. The lumber -stealing by Canadians along the northern border of Minnesota has become so extensive that the Gov- ernment has concluded to put a stop to it. A large expedition, headed by four agents, will leave Duluth Aug. 1 and will start in a northwesterly direction. Its destination -is the westerly portion of Rainy Lake. The report by a special agent who made a trip along the north- ern boundary state that on the Big and Little Rainy Rivers great quantities of logs are being run into the lake and across to the Canadian border. At the inquest on the five victims of Thursday morning's fire at Quebec a young man named Dufour testified : "Two weeks ago, Delamere, landlord of the barroom, asked me if I would do a trick. Said he: 'I want you to set fire to the house and I'll give you 95, and if you succeed I'll give you 910.' I refus- ed and told him' was not strong enough to undertake the task.' Coroner Bel- leau has ordered Dufour to be held in custody as one of the prin„ipal wit- nesses in the case. Coroner Belleau ordered that the bodies should not be buried. The Fletcher correspondence of the Chatham Banner says: -There was some very disgraceful conduct at the Baptist Church at Buxton Inst Sabbath A young man carne into the church in the midst of the service,while the pastor was preaching and walked hurriedly to the altar, where the choir sat,and ask- ed two young ladies to go to the lake for a ride. They left the choir and went out. In about five minutes the same shameless act was repeated by another young man, but this time the lady showed some common sense, and flatly refused him, Shame I shame! young men. The minister stopped his discourse and said he was glad that he was brought up under the training and influence of a Christian mother. The area of Canada, according to the latest estimate of the Interior Depart- ment from data supplied by Govern- ment surveyors, is 3,519,000 square miles, the land surface being estimated at 3,379,000 square miles. These figures are less than those which have passed current for some years, the estimated area up to last year being 3,610,000 square miles. It must not be supposed, however, that our territory is decreas- ing. It is of course impossible with such a vast Dominion to give the exact extent of our country, and it is prob- able that es surveys are made and measurements corrected, all the esti- mates made for some time to come will vary more or less from one another. Canadians will be satisfied to know that our country consists of one -fourteenth part of the earth, that the Dominion is nearly thirty times as large as the whole of the United Kingdom, and that Canada is 500,000 square miles larger than the United States, without Alaska.

On Sunday afternoon 15,000 persona on Ocean Plaza, New York, witnessed a baby show on wheels. Two hundred cherubs were wheeled in their carriages, including ten pair of twins. The United States steamer Trento's band headed the procession. rhe carriages were all gaily decorated. - -Rev Dr Wild, the well known Con. gregational Church preacher, whc was iu London recently, has resigned the pastorate of Bond Street Church, Tor- onto. He will shortly go abroad, it is said, for his health. [He has since re- considered his reeignation,and an assis- tant will be appointed to help him) As one Row was showing a revolver at the door of his house at St. Arsene, Q., he playfully presented it at hie niece Miss Morin, standing in the doorway, not thinking it was loaded, when the revolver went off and a bullet penetrat- ed the young girl's head. She died in a few minutes. What a fool he was. Mr Robert flay, ex -M. P., and Mr Walter Cassels, two of Toronto's best known and most respected citizens, are lying very 01 at their reapective homes. Faint hopes of their recovery are en- tertained. Both gentleman are over 80 and were until lately of very active habits. A little son of Mr Charles Keeley, township of Canboro, was drowned in a firkin of buttermilk one day last week. The child was toddling around and by some means fell into the firkin head- first. The parents were in another part of the house at the time, and on going to see where the child was, the little fellow was found as above de- scribed. At Toronto, on Tuesday Judge Mor- gan was asked to replevin a ring at present in possession of a lady named Miss Jarvis. Application was made on behalf of E. A. Holman, of the firm of Holman & Holman, to whom Miss Jarvis was formerly engaged, and to whom she refuses to return the engage- ment ring he gave her. Mr Justice MacMahon on Monday rendered judgment against Mr Lang and the other sureties of Watts, who in 1888, was tax collector for the town- ship of Meaford and absconded with $2,000. The defense claimed that for several years there has been gross irreg- ularities in the collection and applica- tion of the taxes, and that the town - had been aware of these irregularities, and should have informed the sureties. The value of the merchandize ex- ported from the Ottawa consular dis- trict during the fiscal year ending with the month of June last, was over three million dollars. The average rate of duty imposed upon such merchandize by the United States customs is nearly twenty per cent. Thus about 9600,000 were paid into the Washington treas- ury last year in the form of duties upon products shipped from the Ottawa dis- trict. A hired man on the Hess dairy farm near Epworth Heights, event into a pasture late on Monday afternoon and discovered an immense black snake coiled around the right hind leg of one of the cows and sucking the milk from her udder. When the snake saw the man approaching it dropped to the ground and attempted to escape, but was killed. It was over seven feet long. The cow the snake was milking was a fresh milch cow, but for several days past it was noticed that her udder was nearly emply when she came in with the other cows for milking. The cow is a young one, and the hired man says that she stood chewing her cud with the greatest content ment while the snake was coiled about her leg and extracting her milk. At the Toronto police headquarters for several hours last Tuesday evening was a little boy named Doyson homily, a plump, flaxen haired, 7 -year-old, with a story. His mother, Mrs Homily, 510 Parliament Street, has two sons, one of whom is in the Industrial School, She is a widow, left in such circumstances that she must earn her daily bread. The lad got into all sorts of mischief on the streets. Tuesday Mrs Romity before leaving home for work chained the boy up in the woodshed, and where he was found by Detective Watson, who at the request of the neighbors broke into the house. The boy was tied up with a chain less than live feet long, heavy enough to hold a large dog - It was fastened around his neck with a padlock. The other end of the chain was fastened to the wall by means of a staple. The boy did not seem to mind his strange captivity, and when taken away by the officer begin to cry for his mother. The case may not come to trial, but Mrs Romily will be told not to repeat the process. The Hamilton Times places the posi- tion before its readers in the following plain and thruthful words : 'We want free trade, not only with the United States, but with Great Britain and the rest of the world. We believe it to be not only desirable but attainable and practoiabie. We are more anxious for the thing itself than about the means by which it shall be obtained. If annex- ation is the shortest road to free trade, we have no sentimental attachment to the mother country to hindering us from obtaining the summum bonum for our own country. If Canadians will do their duty toward themselves, they can have free trade without annexation, and without renunciation of British connection. The N. P. has done more to promote annexationist sentiment than any other agency since the down- fall of the family compact. It has made Canadian taxes high and Can- adian people poor It has driven out our sone and daughters across the bor- der. It has made our public debt much greater per head than that of the Unit- ed States. It has so fixed Canada that unletts a radical change is soon made in our system of taxation, it will simply be a question whether Canadians annex themselves to the United States as in- dividuals, or take their country with thein. For, when the United States debt is paid off, and the United States tariff is reduced according to the ne- cessity of the revenue, Canada cannot hold the population under a high tariff. Seeing the danger ahead, it behooves Canadians to get ready for it. To keep on increasing our debt and our taxation, for the sole purpose of enriching a few monopolists at the expense of the great body of wealth producers, may be some people idea of patriotism, but Canada cannat become etetping and inde- pendent under such a policy. If an. nexation is to be averted, the Canadian t r ff mu_t be reduced,' For the Picnickers. FANS To keep you cool.

Oats are badly rusted and peas also seem to suffer) from too much dampness. Apples are generally re- ported a failure. p CLINTON MARKETS Corrected every Thursday afternoon. Thursday, July 24, 1890.

THOMAS WATSON,Clinton, MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MATtKI:T The cattle trade has shown consider- able activity during the past week, and the receipts and shipments will com- pare favorably with any previous week of the season. A better tone is repor- ted for the week in export stock. Prices were no higher but larger. The mar- ket for butchers' weakened considerably towards the end of the week under large supplies. Hogs were dull end prices were about 25o lower. Th9 fol- lowing are fair quotations for the week: Cattle, export, good to choice, 5 to 50; stockers, 4 to q ; butchers, good, 4/ to Sc ; medium, 4 to 4i ; culls, 3,1 to 3)c ; sheep, 4 to 4jtc; hogs, 5 to Seo, and calves, $5 to $9. Quite a brisk trade was done principally with speculators, prices being rather easier all round compared with those given above for the week. At the east end abattoir there were offered 550 cattle, 3.50 lambs, 100 sheep and 250 calves. Good and inferior cattle being greatly in excess of the demand, the market was very slow and prices were off a full 1}c com- pared with a week ago, the over -supply on Thursday, no doubt, having consid- erable effect to this end. A few ship- pers were on hand picking up stockers. J. Ryan bought 20 head, averaging about 1,300 pounds, at prices ranging from 4 to 40. which was about the top an occasional sale being made at 4}c. There was a good demand for sheep and lambs for butchers' purposes at prices ranging from $4.75 to $6 for sheep and $3.50 to 94.25 for lambs.
