The American Elections The elections across the border held last week, have resulted in a most de- Wai.ve defeat of the Republican party, the party in power; it is conoeded by the Republican papers that in the House of Representatives the Democrats will Have a large majority. The tariff question appeared to be the leading issue, and it certainly is significant that in a country where "protection" is claimed to have done so much good, and is carried out in its details to a large extent, that the free trade party should have "swept everything before them." As a result of the election protection advocates are depressed, while free traders are acocrdingly jubilant. McKinley, the author of the famous bill that bears his name, was among the defeated, his opponent beating him aver 300 of a majority. With wonder- ful•nnanimity, Canadian Conservative papers are joyous over his defeat, ap- parently forgetful of the fact that hie defeat is tantamount to a condemna- tion of the very policy that they uphold here. His defeat does not affect the tariff legislation recently passed. Of course it is more than likely that this election will affect the next Presi- dential contest, which, however does not come off for two years, and great changes will take place in that time, but as President Harrison and ex -presi- dent Cleveland are likely to be the candidates again, the issue will be straight on the tariff question • • ...- What is the Reason for it. The United States Consul at London Ont., in a recent interview, expresses a truth with which nearly every one is familiar, when he says, "the part of Canada in which he is stationed is the finest agricultural region in the Pro- vince, but wages are low, and since the McKinley Bill has gone into effect the Canadian farmers have been deprived of their most remunerative market." He also makes a statement following, no doubt true, but one that should cause anxious inquiry on this side, for he says :- " I have, in the past year, certified to an average of fifty families a month coming to the United States. I often ask them wily they are Ieaving so good a country as Canada is in the vicinity of London for the United States. The remarkable reply is the high Dost of living and the low wages prevailing. They say their friends write back from Michigan,Indiana, New York, or wher- ever they locate, that wages are better, work plentier and necessaries of life cheaper." Fifty families a month, means 600 lamilies a year. This is a large num- ber to leave through one consulate alone and there mast be reason for it. People do not emigrate from a good country to a poorer one, unless they have satistac- tory reasons for doing so, and it is time Canadiatis solved the problem and ap- plied a remedy. Birchall to Hang'.. The Minister of Justice refused to in- terefere in the case of Birchall, and the Government unanimously endorsed his action, sothat' today, perhaps before this is read by many of our subscribers, Birchall will pay the penalty for his £rime. The decision of the Minister was looked for with intense interest, xnany fearing that pressure sufficient to secure •a commutation, would be brought o bear upon him, while some -but ery few, were hopeful of a re- riev . It seems thing p aha r t d htn t o say Y •t'shat one is glad at :the result, and yet ,that is really the case w ith a great many people in the Dominion. There would have been intense indignation -had any other been the result, and the :governmentais to be commended for its firmness. The life of Birchall carries its own lesson, and there is no need to moralize over it. Alluding to the peti- tion presented, asking for executive alemency, the Empire says :- "It is well to consider what value petitions for executive clemency in cap- ital oases possess. Mr Dugald Mac- Mnrohey, the other day spoke of the trouble he had taken to secure the name of this or that influential person- age to hie petition. Before shay nears have passed over Mr MaeMar- chefs head he will have learned that it is not so much a question as to who signs the petition, but as to what the petition contains. Nine -tenths of the ...petitions that reach the department of 3nstioe are not worth . the paper they are written on. If a petition in a case of this kind brings out new facts, facts Which were not and could not have been considered by the jury at the trial, or'b)? the judge in delivering sentence, it id of value. In order to induce the executive to commute a sentence some- ,) thing must have transpired dr been brought to light sirce the jury tried the Dasa which, if put heft, a them at the tibio o f the o trial mi t have ave in• dtteed them to change the decision. *•1 Aegurnento must be adduce , not mere ' sentiments advanced, and it would de - Arley the fundamental principle of Brits% law to overturn the decision of jUl,jt61i what has been lepfore thorn, bulli in Ob die r a caul."

He was a clever newspaper man, a writer of considerable ability, and per- sonally as fines man as one could de- sire to form the acquaintance of. The writer of this, although only employed in a minor eapaoity on tate Free Press some years ago, is able to bear personal testimony to the fact. Presbytery of Huron. The regular meeting of the Preeby• tery of Huron was held in Union Church, Brucefield, on Tuesday, the Ilth lust., Rev Mr Fletcher, Diode- rator, in the chair. The Treasurer's books were audited, and report re- ceived from the auditors, that the same had been audited and found correct. The Treasurer presented his report, which was received. The Rev Messrs McDonald and McLean were appointed as represent- atives of Presbytery, to address the next meeting of the Womeu'e Foreign Mission Society. A remit from the Assembly, anent certain changes proposed by the As- sembly's committee, in the Aged and Infirm Minister's fund, to be made in the rules governing the fund, was considered. The changes pioposed are that rules Nos. 3, 9, 15 and 16 be made to read as follows: - 3. Settled pastors, ordained mis- sionaries, home and foreign, profess- ors in colleges, and church agents, shall, in order to participate in the full benefits of the fund, pay into it an annual rate of : for ages under 35 at date of connection, $6; for age of 35 and under 45, $8; for age 45 and over $10. 9. When a minister is allowed by the General Assembly to retire, atter ten years' service, he shall receive an annuity of $100, with $5 for each ad- ditional year of service up to twenty; and for each additional year of ser- vice over twenty and up to thirty, $10. 15 When a minister is mainly de- pendent upon bis annuity from this tuud,the committee shall have power, after careful enquiry, to grant such an additional allowance as the con- dition of the fund will permit. such additional allowance in no case to exceed $100. That rule 16 he so changed as to make the benefit the same in both the Eastern and Western sections. It was, on motion, agreed that rule 3, which proviaes for the payment of au annual rate of per cent 00 pro- fessional income, remain as at pre- sent. It way, on motion, agreed that the proposition of the committee as to rule 13, as above, be adopted. It was, on motion, agreed that rule 16, which provides for cases of re- movala from the eaters section to the Eastern section of the church, the funds in which are administered sep- arately, remain as at present. On motion, the remit, as amended, was agreed to. Rev Mr Simpson reported that the charge of Bayfield Road and Berne bad been preached vacant, and ar- rangement was made for supply. The Rev A. D. McDonald was made the nominee of the Presbytery as Moderator of the next General Assembly. The Rev Mr Musgrave presented the report of the Home Mission Committee, as to the holding of missionary meetings, etc., the con- sideration of which was deferred till next meeting. Petitions to the Dominion Houses of Parliament, for the passage of a general law against the violation of the Sabbath,were distributed to mem- bers, with the object of securing sig- natures thereto. The.eonsideration of the remit from the Assembly, on the question of marrying a deceased wife's sister, was deferred till next meeting. The next meeting of Presbytery will be held in Willis Church, Clin- ton, on the third Tuesday in January next. Sabbath School and Church Workers' Convention.

The Sentence to go into Effect In the Birchall case the Cabinet has decided to let the law take its couree, so that Birchall will be executed in Wood- stock gaol yard to day, Nov. 14, about 8 a.m. Mrs Birchall was terribly affected by the failure of the last remaining effort to save her husband's life, and perform• ed the melancholy duty of removing the last hope that her husband may have cherished. When she handed him the message stating that the law must take its course, he stated with horror, but quickly recovered his ap- parent composure, and remarked "Well, I suppose I've got to go." An enterprising Toronto manufactur- er has made the doomed man a pre- sent of a fine black silk shroud for the occasion, which Birchall seemed much pleased with. Mr Stevenson, the father of Mrs Birchall, has sent word to his daughter to return to England without delay. As the fatal day approaches Birch is growing despondent. and his fa shows signs of the awful strain he h to bear. The guards have been instruc ed not to allow him out of their sig for one minute lest he should comm suicide. It is reported that Mr Oswald 13i chall, half brother of Birchen, is stricken with grief that fears are ente tained for his recovery. He addresse a vain request to Col. Benwell, fath of the murdered man, to join in an a plication for mercy on the ground th Birchall might not be the niurclerer. It has been decided that the executio of Birchall on friday shall take pia at 8 a. m.

O.,Cloucestershire England, brother of Reginald Birchal has cabled friends asking them to in tercede in his behalf to get permission to take the body home to England. Mr Dagald McMurphy made application to the Attorney•General for the body, but is is understood the request was not granted, pending probrably farther ad- vice from Woodstock. Should the re- quest be granted the body will be em- balmed here and taken home at once to England by Mrs Birchall and her sister. A Buffalo paper prints a letter signed J. B. Litchfield, which states that the writer and two others members of the Murder League killed Benwell, though it is admitted that Birchall had cogniz- ance of and aibed in the crime. Judge MacMahon and seven of the jurors at the trial are to suffer death at the hands of the league if Birchall is hanged The letter says that prior to Birchall's arrest the league had offices in London and carried on the -business of enticing young Englishmen of means to this continent and robbing them; the letter is postmarked Buffalo, Nov. 10, 2 p.m. all ce as t - ht it r.

Owing to his silence, I was flattering myself that the correspondent had taken my advice, to lead a better life politically, and that he had repented of his evil ways, and had become disgusted with Tory orookeduees and depravity. I was about to visit Port Albert, to claim mynew convert, and confirm and es- tablish him in sound political doctrine, but in the News -Record of November 5 the correspondent tarns up again in his old Tory character. I think, BrIr Edi- tor, I was correot in stating that some- thing miraculous was needed to change a Port Albert Tory. They are not amenable to reason, and neglect from the chiefs at Ottawa is borne with do• oility by them. The correspondent re - pests his charge against Arnoldi, but, 0 dear me, it would be horrible to in- sinuate that the head of the department was at all to blame. This is placing blame on irresponsible shoulders with a vengeance. Does this employee, Ar- noldi, rule the Public Works Depart. ment? Can he disobey the head of the department with impunity? Has his dearly beloved member, Mr Porter, no influence at head quarters? It seems Arnoldi has on several previous occa- sions diverted the dredge from Port Albert, contrary to orders from Ottawa, and still he holds his situation, and the sitting member has nothing to say against the presumption, allowing his constituents to suffer. I presume,when Mr Porter offers himself for re-election, the correspondent and all his Tory neighbors will vote for him again. Now, if the correspondent will come to the Liberal side, he will find things man- aged very differently. Just imagine Malcolm Colin Cameron representing West Huron, and his friends in power at Ottawa, and having secured the ser- vices of a dredge for Port Albert, and an Arnoldi or any other functionary interposing to prevent the work being done. Why he would raise such a storm at Ottawa that Arnoldi would be asked to retire, and given time to use his garden hose to his heart's content, if the police did not interfere. The orrespondent wants to know "what in hunder ever Mr Cameron did for Port Albert ?" 1 think fully as much as Mr Porter. The correspondent knows Port Albert got a larger grant while M. C. Cameron was member, than they got since Mr Porter was elected. But let the correspondent compare what Mr Cameron got for Bayfield while repre- senting South Huron, when his friends were in power, (somewhere abont $36,- 000) with what Mr Porter got, while his friends were in power, for Port Albert, (some $1,500) and you may have a fair comparison of the political value of the two men, the two sums about represent their respective powers and influences at Ottawa, with their respective par- ties. With reference to the old worn- out charge about the Goderich 1 g c 3 harbor job, it seems the present party in power are not likely to commit such a sin, as their favors go in a different direction. They have too many Rykerts, Onder- donk's, McGreevys, Tappers, etc., oil nauseam.

To the Edito - f the Clinton Era New. Mit Eir'rert :-In reply to note given in Brucefield items of last week's issue, I might say that, think that I member's cheek exceeds in a great measure his good manners. I cannot see what caused him to write such an ugly piece. He says he found those facts mentioned himself to be untruths, lean prove that they are not. In the last case mention- ed, our secretary did not get the card from Brucefield until after six o'clock of the evening the match was -to be played in Brucefield. Probably they wrote the card intending us to get it about that time. Nor is the other statements, regarding our boys being away, an untruth. In speaking of grounds, it seemed to me our grounds were plenty large enough for them, and as to kind, we did not put them on a lumpy field, as they did our juniors, when they played the Brucefield Seniors last. They say the club promsed them a match, when up here last. That may be so. They better get that club to play them, this is a different club, with but two of the old players. But, to cut the story short; the facts of the matter, is, we do not wish to be both- ered playing Brucefield. They got such a beating, when they were here, I hard- ly think they can be recruited vet. Tell them to play some school section. I am, a member C.M.F.C. To the Ir4litor of the Clinton New Era Sm,- Having noticed in your last issue, under the Brucefield heading, an item regard- ing the Collcgiato-Model F.I1,C., I would Iike to say a few words in reference to it. In starting out our Brucoflold friend refers to some match that was played last spring, in which, he says, the eluh (of which ho is a e 1 m m hue) was badlydefeated, este u d but was t • - ro 1 mis' a consolation p rusts h at sumo' hiture time; As to this we have nothing whatever to say, as the club which was formed last Sept tuber is adorned by only two of the Mayers who so disheartened our Brucefield friends. We have nothing to do with the promises of other clubs. But about the enol of September we challenged the ]irnceflold boys, and after some intercurr•ence of notes, they suggested our going down on Oct. 2nd, knowing very well that wo would not leave dui:ug the progress of the exhibition. Of course wo refused, but asked if they could not arrange to play some evening beforethat. Then carte a card on Tuesday, Sept.:10 too late to allow a team to be collected, "Conte this evening." Thus, by much wriggling and twisting about, the would-bevictims escaped our clutches, As to the interpolation of such expressions in his letter as the writer uses to state that we did not tell the truth, we shall say nothine, as it onlysnows the de- pravity of his own mind, and has not the least effect injurious to us on the minds of the public.
