c44iod Platform.
Thor oirone of Industry may have
Wigan principles that axe net enders -
ea by all classes, but they should re-
.;
* active the support of everybody in oar-
nyeng out the platform that they have
adOpted, Which is as follows:—
(1) Maintenance of British oonneo-
• (2) The reservatiou of the public land
• ter the actual settler.
(a) Purity of administration and ab-
eolute independence of Parliament.
(4) Rigid economy in every depart -
'went of the publio service.
(5) f3implification of the laws and a
general reduction in the maohin ery of
government.
(0) Abolition of the Canadian San -
t�.
(7) Grand juries to be composed of 12
tnenibers instead of 24.
(8) A system of civil service reform
that will give each county power to ap-
Point or eleot all county officials whose
salaries they are required to pay, ex-
• sopt county judges.
(9) Tariff for revenue only, so adjust.
• id as to fall as far as possible upon the
luxuries and not upon the necessaries
Reciprocal trade on fair and
• equitable terms between Canada and
the World. es.
(11) Effectual legislation that will
• protect labor from combinations and
monopoliee which unduly enhance the
price of the artioles produced by those
combinations and monopolies.
112) Prohibition of the bonnsing of
always by Government grants, ex-
cept when opening up new territory.
(13) Preparation of the Dominion and
Iferovincial voters' lists by the munici-
pal officers.
(14) Conformity of electoral districts
, for both Dominion and Provincial ne-
ts preeentation to county boundaries, as
, oonstituted for municipal purposes, as
far as theprinciple of repesentation by
population will allow.
With a single exception, this platform
%roust whatjLiberals; have been advo-
cating for years. We' do not say it
:should be supported for that reason,
e but for the reason that its planks are
-good sound ones. If every farmer
would unflinchingly support these prin-
, eiples, he would soon bring about a
better state of affairs in the country at
large.
..ss;•
esese--
The Empire is afraid that "under
Grit rule, all the provinces are drifting
towards direct taxation." We are glad
to hear it, and hope that it will prove
true. It is nothing to be afraid of, and
the quicker that it is reached the bet-
ter for the people.

A Fine Building.
On Thursday „last the St. Thomas
Journal •celebrated the occupation of its
handsome new offices, by at "at Home"
that was participated in by a number
of newspaper men and a very large
orowd of citizens. The building is a
fine one, and does credit to a- paper of
such advanced and progressive Liberal
sentiments as the Journal, which is one
of the beat papers in the Dominion, and
has -an extensive patronage. We can-

at her residenee, Huron street, Clinton.

She was the third daughter of L,:wee
Meikle, Esq., of her Majest) 'n Oi,,snce
Department, London, Eug., end sister
to the late Mrs Howard, of illi Park,
Toronto.
Mrs Motnitcastle was bo mi on Mit

them and some others, wito their bag-

heavy ram was falling, and they took

remained several days, as so great was
the fear of the cholera no money would
inducethe passing boatmen to take
them on board. Eventually they
reached Dundee, where they buried
their youngest child, whose death was
due to exposure. At Hautiltou they

Toronto, to get medical advice for keit.
remaining child, who was very ill.—
Here they remained for some weeks,
and deceased was wont to speak in the
highest terms of the. kindness ef the
late Dr. Rolph, who attended her boy.
When the little fellow, who, was only
four years old, was able to travel, they
proceeded on their way to Huron,where
Mr Mountcastle had already taken up
land. it was on this journey that the
timid, city -bred girl, sat all night in
the waggon holding her child in her
arms, while her husband, with gun and
blazing fires, kept a hungry pack of
wolves from devouring them. After
many vicissitudes they tteached the
spot, two miles west of Clinton, se long
known as the old homestead of the
Mountcastles. It was a dense forest,
not a tree had been felled, not a bantl-
ing erected. A neighbor kindly offered
the young couple the use of a room un-
til such time as a house could be built.
Very speedily a small clearing appeared,
in the midst of whioh stood a pictur-
esque log dwelling, and here Mrs Mount.
castle's life of struggle and hardship
began. Here her indomitable energy
and perseverance showed what one
noble woman cart accomplish. Here
she made a home. Here, with drap-
eries and pictures all the work of
her own hands, the rough walls were
made beautiful. Here she burned the
midnight lamp (a strip of cotton drawn
to the edge of a little tin pan of lard
and lighted) and by whose feeble ray
•shetpatched_the ragged clothing

mourned over the dead body of her
first born son, the child before men-
tioned) who was snatched from her in a
moment, through an awful accident,

very romantio, did not expect to live by
farming. It was through the fraud or
mismanagement of trustees that re-
mittances from the old country sudden.
ly ceased, and they were reduced to the
direst necessity. For the first few
years of her life in Canada, Mrs Mount -
castle kept a maid of all work; but
when the expected money from Eng.
land failed to appear, this luxury had
to be dispensed with, and the hands
that had never before known what it
was to work, learned to make bread,
to spin, to knit, to weave. to make her
own, her husband's and her children's
clothing, and also to make butter and
cheese; while her love of the beautiful
induced her to take every spare moment
that could be snatched from these ar-
duous labors, to cultivate the flowers
and shrubs that had been planted by
her husband, and grew in wild luxeri-
ance round their dwelling. It was in
the midst of all these enterprises, that
by taking cold, shortly after the birth
of one of her children, she lost her
hearing. This was a terrible affliction,
but did not damp her wonderful en-
ergy, for as years rolled on, there being.
no school within reach, she became,
governess to her little family, until the
death of her father, when she inherited
a small sum of money, which enabled
her to send them to Toronto to be fin-
ished. Many ups and downs followed
the- "settler's wife" for years after.
Mr Mountoastle entering into business,
for whioh he was unfitted, the beauti-
ful homestead,witb its wealth of flowers
and shrubs, was sold. This was a great
blow to his wife, who was then sixty-
five years of age. However, with her
usual indomitable energy, she began to
make a new home near CT oderich, and
soon the flowers bloomed round her as
before. At the age of 74, after her hue -
band's long illness and death, she came
to reside on Spencer street, Clinton,
where she made another flower garden,
forking up the earth and setting out
the plants with her own hands. At 80
Mrs Mountcastle was a beautiful and
clever women; many a young girl vsould
have been proud to possess such a lovely
complexion, bright eyes and magnifi-
cent hair. She was a great reader,
being well versed in the news of the
day. She prophesied the miming of the
North west rebellion, but never knew
that her prophesy was fulfilled, for a
year later her intelect failed suddenly,
through the bursting of a blood vessel
on the brain. In this state she re-
mained nearly seven years, the helpless
charge of her three unmarried daugh.
ters, one of whom is Clinton's well
known artist. Deceased was the mo-
ther of twelve ohildrex, two were buried
in the old country, one at Duedas, one
in Clinton, and three at the old home-
stead; five still survive, the remaining
two being Mr Monntoastle and Mrs
Smeltzer, both of Dufferin county.—
Devoted to home, husband and chil-
dren, Frances Laura Motintoestle was
one whose name should be handed deem
in the annals of our country as a model
wife and mother, in deference to whose
wishes tin family will not wear. monrn.

OUR LETTER BOX
HARDLY THE SQUARE THING.
To The Editor of the Clinton New Era.
'DEAR SIR:—I understand that at both
Seaforth and Bayfield shows, Mr Hay-
ward was awarded a prize on a single
open buggy. I am not surprised at
this,,for 1 am willing to admit that it
was a nice buggy that took the prize.
As Mr Hayward is a practical man, it
shows that he knows good work when
he sees it, but it seems to me that it was
hardly the fair thing for a buggy man-
ufactured by me to be exhibited as the
work of some one e'se, the buggy that
Mr Hayward received a prize on being
manufactured by me. At Seaforth
show my name plate had been removed
from, the rig, and I have been :inform-
ed from good sources, that of Mr I(ay-
ward substituted. 1 have not the slight-
est objection to My buggies taking prizes
anywhere, but I. do object to other
parties getting the honor. Neill just
say here that Mr Hayward, when
spoken to about the Seaforth exhibit,
dated that it was done without hie
knowledge, but I would like to know
how it came to be repeated at Bayfield
in the some manner. Yours truly,
FRED RUMBALL.

King of
Medicines
A Cure c, Almost Miraculous.),
" When I was 14 years of age I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
in the form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, and for 11 years T
was an invalid, being confined to my bed 6
years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap-
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
" Early in 1886 I wen' to Chicago to visit a
sister, but was coati to my bed most of the
time 1 was there. 1:: ily I read a book, 'A
Day with a Circus,' 1 i \ :Itch were statements
of cures by Hood's Sa Inutile. I was so im-
pressed with the suec. ee of this medicine that
I decided to try It. To my great gratification
the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel
better and in a short time I was up and
out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar-
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
tax bottles, I had become so fully released
from the disease that I wont to work for the
Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then
HAVE NOT LOST A 8INDLH DAY
on account of sickness. I believe the disease
is expelled from my system, I always feel well,
=1 la good spirits and have a good appetite.
I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well
as any ono, except that one limb is a little
shorter than the other, owinO, to the less el
bone, and the sores formerly on ray right leg.
To my frierids my recovery seams almost
miraculous, and 1 think Hood's Sarsaparilla
19 the king of medicines." WILLiAm A.
