To that :question the history of the Pacific Railway scandal is the answer. Who have bone more to corrupt public morality, to lower the tone of - public life, to saturate the country with corruption, to de- grade tho public press into a vile organ of public passion and of assassination of character, than men wbo are described as appear- ing at the meeting of Parliament glittering with golden embroidery and with the Grand Cross of an order of chivalry on theirbreasts? Who made war oi, their political opponents by slanderous charges of conspiracy and treason? Who accept the services of spies and use letters obtained by dishonor- able meant?

How seldom wkmen who "go on strike" stop to think that anv benefits gained eventually cone out of them- selves. The London Free Press is still advis- ing farmers to "grow two -rowed barley for the English market." The farmer learned by experience last year that he could not grow two -rowed barley for the English market, and the conse- quence is thatra great deal less of it is sown this year than last. Ask any seed merchant if this is not so. Temperance petitions to the House of Commons are not worth the paper they are written ou, so long as twowholeeale liquor dealers have a place in the Cab- inet. No matter how largely signed the petitions maybe, it is an easy matter for the Government to either ignore them altogether, or deal with them in such a way as to entirely destroy their object, The latest method of settling a con- test for public office, where the contest- ants were a tie, comes from Indiana. Two then tried for the office of, Treasurer, each gentleman receiving 323 votes. To d ecide the question as to which one would hold the office a foot race was held between- the men. This is a healthier way of settling the matter than bybuying extra votes, at any rate. Rev. Sam. Small, of evangelistic fame, has, until recently, been president of a Methodist University in Utah, but the directors alleged that he had mis- used their funds, an allegation that he would neither deny or explain, so he re- signed' rather than be forced oat. — B ut guilty or not, the circumstance is one of those unfortunate affairs that give "the world" an argument against Christianity, and the very men whose lives should be free from reproach, are oftentimes the ones who are stumb- ling•blocks to jibe cause they are advo- cating. Mr. Wood, of Brockville,la Conserva- tive, has introduced in the House of Commons a bill to prevent Canadians who have become citizens of the United States from voting at elections for the House AcCoomons. In taking this step Mr. Wood concedes that the exodus of population from Canada to the United States rule is much greater than the federal,• government acknowledge, and he also ad mita that non -residence should disqualify a man from voting. It is only three years since the eleotor- al lists were re vised, and yet Mr. Wood tells us:that so many Canadians, whose names are still on the lists, have gone to the United States and become Amer- ican"citizens since the last revision that it is necessary to pass a special act to prevent these men from coming bank at election times and swamping the votes of those Canadians who stillbrave the evils of Conservative misrule and cling to their native soil. But if Mr. Wood is afraid of the absentee vote let him vote for the repeal of the Domin- ion Franohise act. Under the provin- cial franchise law we have manhood sufferage and one man one vote ; and no one oan vol eta P r n aovi i11n 1 election - even if his name is on the list, unless he is a bona fide resident on polling day of the polling division an which he attempts to vote. Hence the repeal of the Dominion Franchise ant and' the adoption of the Provincial !voters' lists for hominion electioue would accom- plish all that Mr. Wood seeks to achieve by his bill, and would also give us man- hood, suffrage for Dominion elections in Ontario, and effect an enormous saving of public money. Mr. Wood's bill proposes to interfere with the rule which says; "Once a British subject, always a British subjeot," because be proposes to deprive Canadians who become oitzens of the United States but whom may, -subsequently return to Can- ada,of rights which they enjoyedbefore their departure.

The rapidity with which our Tem- perance League has beep extended in Chatham Collegiate Institute has sug- gested the importance of turning spe- cial attention to all High Sohools and st method to which eato with their work. Every petition has be endorsed and indexed.It can be easily understood bow much work this repres ents. One curious thing about thi petition craze is that while a good per- centage of the petitions pray for better observance of the Lord's Day the un- precedented rush has already caused the officials to work all one 'Sunday, and it is doubtful whether it will not neoessitate them doing so again this week. Iris understood that his Exoellenoy the Governor-General has asked the First Minister for explanations regard- ing the grave charges made in Parlia- ment involving the honor and integrity of one of his advisers. When the ac- cusations were made public through the medium of the press his Excellency was unable to notice them officially, but now that they have been ditelexed on the floor of Parliament he has, following the precedent set by Lord Dufferrn and others, seen fit to•eall for explanation. The Ministerialists feel very uneasy over this business, and, while agreeing to an inquiry they dare not refuse, they await with considerable anxiety the outcome of the investig- ation. Mr John Lance and his wife of Belle- I past ten years, think of the young to villa, were st Monda the victims of blood that would now be giving etrenith runaway accident. Mrs Lance had her and impetuosity to our ranks. Think collar bone broken on both sides, while of the -business men, the rising pro- s fessional men, teachers of all classes - Mr Lance had a rib and collet bone and intelligent women everywhere, who would be now wielding the power for prohibition not to be reckoned at all by numbers. It seems to me this is the Thermopylae of the situation. Let us check the liquor interest here, and it is merely a matter of time, and it must be a short time, till the field is our own. There can be no question that if tem - perance principles really gained these schools and colleges victory, and a quick one, must follow. But can these schools be won?

James Hanham, of Stephen, has pur- chased Cunningham's hotel at Shipka, and will tae possession shortly. Only one. hotel in the township of Us - borne has been granted a license, while in the township of Stephen there ear nine. The creditors of G. A. Ilyndman, in- solvent, Exeter, would not accept his offer to compromise at 13 cents on the dollar. A. J. Cousins, of Mitchell, has leased the well-known Queen's Hotel, Brussels, from Capt Stretton, for a term of five years. Mr Griffith Davis, who was engaged in the mercantile business in Seaforth, about 18 years ago, died in Belleville on the 13th ult. Mr Wm. Oke, of Kinburn, has a ewe, whioh a few days ago presented him with twin lambs, one of which weighed twenty pounds when dropped. Mr Wm Waugh, wife and family, of Hensen, are about to take their depar- ture for the State of Kansas, where in all probability he will go into business again. Mrs Elford, of Lower Wingham, who was recovering from a relapse of in- flammation, has received another attack much severer than before, the effects of which it is feared will be serious. D. B. McKinnon & Son, Blyth, through the failing of John Birrell & Co., of London, found it necessary to suspend payment. Their affairs are being investigated and it ie rfupposed the suspension will only be temporary. The residence of Mr Robert McDowell, of Walton, was burned to the ground, on Monday. Mr McDowell was sick in bed, and was not aware of his danger until his son, who was working in a field near by, came to his rescue. The contents were all saved. John Little, of Henfryn, raised the • frame of a deriving hawse and stable on Tuesday. After the raising a serious accident happened to Mr Little, while engaged in preparing kindling wod. The drawing knife which he was using slip- ped and unfortunately severed an artery in ?lis leg. He suffered considerable from loss of blood before a Dr arrived. Everybody was sadly surprised on Wednesday to hear of the very sudden and unexpected death of Henry Savage, a well known resident of the 4th line of Grey, for many years. He took sic. on Tuesday of inflammation of the bowels, and died the following day, aged 53 years, 10 months and 4 days. A wife and eight children are .left to mourn his demise. A London paper says:—A man from Goderich applied for admission to the city hospital, this morning, but 'Mayor Taylor found it necessary to refuse the request. People who are ill come from all over Western Ontario and expect the city to pay for their cure and, keep.

The fishing troubles in Newfound- land are driving the natives away at' a rapid rate. Last Monday night the Carthagenian brought no less than 235 natives who had grown tired of the fituation down there, and who are off or the United States. A Condersport special says that while a train containing men on their way to fight the forest fire in Potter county New York State on Monday was nearing its destination the train was wrecked in the midst of the burn- ing woods and the engines and cars Were destroyed. Eighty or more men were burned to death Mr Ralph O'Neil, of the 7th con, of Westminster, was sitting by_ a window at his home reading his Bible on Sun- day morning, when he suddenly fell from his chair, and when members of his family .rushed to -hie aid they discovered that he was dead. IIe was sixty-five years of age,and leaves a family of grown-up sons and daughters. A couple of Fergus men were drkiing along the road near that village the other day when they noticed a basket on the side of the road.. One of the men got out of:the conveyance to get the basket, when he was surprised to find that it contained an infant. The child is being cared for by a Fergus lady, and the police are looking for its mother. Bidget Doherty, of Athlone, Ireland, arrived at New York Saturday. She says . she was delegated to come to America by an unseen spirit, that whispered in her ear:—"Go to America and convert the wicked inhabitants there from their wicked ways." She frequently falls on her knees and prays in a loud voice. She is insane and will be rt.turned to Ireland. It is understood that the Minister of Agriculture has asked the British Gov- ernment to state whether the free im- portation of live cattle from - Canada into the United Kingdom would be affected in any way if the Dominion anthorities permitted the importation of cattle from the United States to be slaughtered in bond. Up- on the answer of the British Minister of Agriculture to this question will de- pend the decision of the Dominion Government with respect' to the Bender application for permiesion to import cattle from the United States to be slaughtered at Three Rivers. About 2 o'clock Tuesday morning burglars entered the jewelry store of E; Bourquin, Tavistock, blew open the safe and took a large quantity of wat- ches and jewelry therefrom and carried off all the best stook in the store, amount- ing in value to several hundred dollars. The force of the explosion was so great that it broke nearly all the glass in the windows as well as the heavy window frame. There is no trace of the robbers. Mrs Falk, who lives over the store, raised her window and was greeted with a pistol shot, which fortunately only took effect in the woodwork near by. Willie Goodfellow, the nine year old son of Benjamin Goodfellow, painter, Galt, met with an accident on Monday, that will probably lead to his death,. The little, fellow in company with a bigger boy, was crossing the Canadian Pacific !Railway bridge, which is at pint undergoing repairs, on their way to school. From some unaccount- able cause young Goodfellow fell from the bridge the ground, a distance of 60ft. breaking his leg and arm and dislocating his shoulder. His skull was also badly fractured. Rev. Wm. McDonagh, of London West, during his sermon at Victoria College, Cobourg, on Sunday morning, made one or two indirect allusions to the much -debated views of .Rev. Dr, Workman on the subject of "Messianic Prophecy." Thlise somewhat peculiar references oreated quite a flutter in the oongregation of collegians, by all of whom Dr. Workman is held in, espe- cial esteem. A telegram says:—"At the experience meeting in the afternoon a remarkable inoident occurred illus- trating the temper of the college just now. Rev. Mr McDonagh, preacher of the morning, made some reflections up- on the so-called doubts of professing Christians, which were, he said, of the devil. The divinity students did not sympathise with these sentiments, and applauded very loudly one of their pro-, fesssors, who differed with Rev. Mr. Mc- Donagh," Mr J. E. Story, Iranager of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, has been m Montreal for a few days, says the Gazette, superintending the shipment of 100 lambs bs on the Lake Superior to Liverpool. These lambs were purchased in October last, when they only weighed 80 lbs apiece, and after being fed all winter on clover hay roots and grain, now tip the melee at 137 pounds. The shipment is being made by Professor Shaw for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is more profitable for the farmer to ebip his lambs to Buffalo in the fall or to hold them for shipment to Liverpool in the spring. The shipment on the Lake Superior should sell well on the other side, at they aro certainly in splendid 'condition and estimated to be worth $11) apiece, or over 7o per pound, an offer of $940 apiece being refused in the West.

If there is a point *necessary to be gained in this warfare, we must not think for a moment that it cannot be gained. It must be gained, and if we are true soldiers we will say it shall be gained. put the experience of the past few weeks makes it apparent that, instead of its being an impossible task, itis one that really invites, the workers. In Chatham Collegiate Institute, two energetic boys, in the space of about two weeks, have been able to send in a list of 31 signatures to the Temperance Pledge for 1891. We earnestly bid them "God speed" in their work, and hope they may have a goodly number more by next month. Clinton Collegiate Institute is rapidly making up. Dear young people, high school boys and girls, it is to you we look. Older people are nearly all too busy with the neces- sary and ordinary work of the world, really to take hold energetically of any. thing else. But yon can work free- handed. Iu i'how many schools and colleges are there two who are willing to see what they can do? How many of their fellow students they can get to pledge off intoxicating drinks for the year 1891? There must be more than a hundred of these higher educational establishments in Ontario. Two from each would give the three hundred patriots to man our Thermopylae pass. Who will volunteer? Just try it. You will find more willing than you suppose, and those who are unwilling are just those in special danger, and so aro worth all the more tact, patience and persever- ance, that you may win them in the end. We want the girls to help. How much good you may do to your boy companions by getting them to join their name to the Temperance Pledge for 1891. and not forgetting to have them renew it as 1892 approaches. There are comparatively few of these. schoolboys who are really so fond of liquor that it would be a serione self- denial to give it up; and a temperance pledge that would be sufficiently gen- eral in its nature to relieve from the feeling of being singular would often make it a comparatively easy thing to gather in a large proportion of a school. Let us see how many High Schools and Colleges we Can at least enter by the 1st of June. To those who do not now the brief ,history of -our scheme I would explain: 1st Oar pihdge is only for 1891. 2nd Pledge books will be sent free to any address. The pledge leaf is so ar- ranged that the third section can be torn off and sent in an open envelope to me, so authorizing me to add the name signed to my list, which is to be published in the Clinton NEW ERA the first issue of the next month. A copy of the paper or a slip containing the temperance list in which the name ap- pears will be sent to each signer. In this way a temperance worker anywhere can enter heartily into Seto - al work. But it is to you, boys and girls, that we specially look for workers. Send for a Pledge Book and try. When you begin, lay your plans to work up your whole school. By the time you have a few names you will most likely find some who will be ready to take a Pledge Book too, and so the work will grow. In sending me your own address send me also the address of any friend either in your own or another school who might be willing to go to work too. Yours in this our ,temperance work, ANNA ROSS, Bruoefield, May 9th, 1891. KILLING SNAKES. 7'o The Editor of /he Clinton Nor Era: DEAR SiR,—An item, in a late issue of the NEW ERA, said some person killed sixty snakes this season. Why did he kill them? They are among the farm- ers' best friends„devouring more des- tructive insects than any other crea- tures of their size. I think no venom- ous snakes are found in Huron County, and such as we have are not only harmless, but they are very useful, and should be allowed to live for the good they do. Once a man being asked why he tilled snakes, said he did not like them, yet he did not contend that that was a reason why he should kill them. ' Afterwards, when he saw a snake, he asked himself why he should kill it, and not being Mon to give a conscientious answer, he let the reptile live. SYMPATHY. BURN.
