WE ARE VIE PEOPLE
To the Editor of the News Record,
DEAR Sre,-An outsider who had read
our Goderic.i town papers throughout
the past year would probably have con-
cluded that all loofa municipal wiedem
'
Goderich.
WAN vouchsafed to our two editors, and
to them only. He, if he had any interest
an our town affairto W3ni.11 hive looke i
f ,r a sweeping change at the January
-eleotieus of 1891. Out °Wino), thcim&h,
did not look for any such result. Tey
ail not acquiesce to the einitnete the
Irreiey eaitore hove of theinselvee. "We,
the Peeple,"i Mayo rebuked those geutle,
men of the preda. It were well if they
would profit by the rebuke. But 1 alit
afraid they are iuoorrigible. Doughty
Dan confeseee he ie net satisfied with the.
mayoralty oonteet. I reckon he it not.
13 it "We, the People," have iusieted
that he shall have to put up with our
verdiot. I must say !SI rotor Butler i.
poeseased of some ubjeutionable traits of
temperament, but I will also say we
have never had a more honest oe capeble
corporation head I may also say that I
believe it waelthe domineering, net to ray
bullyino, tono of our town p mere toward
him that ctused him to be selected as a
candidate again auci elected. I may be
wrong, but am of the opinion that if he
had not been so roundly abueed-I use
the word abused adviaedly-mildly by
one portion of the prees and with char-
acteristic boorishneee by the other, that
he would not agaiu have ent•oad the
field. . The people did not vote against
Mr. Radcliffe, but against the paper jew-
emithe whose avocation aeon's to be to
c aareely at tempt to write down any
public-spirited citizen who will not obse-
quiously accept their impracticable views
of the management of our town aff ars
The other old members of the C wood
that were ti have been sent to the right -
ab ut by those loaded paper weights
were either elected by ac dain item or by
large triej 'titled. I notice that D o Het s
•"The chief Better has been restored to
pehic fevor." I ceuld n it he charged
with being hypercriFe al did I eajsct to
the use if the word restore in thin o .a-
nectioa. But I will take it evident
meaniug in the quoted sentence and ask
how the chief Butler could be repleeed
in a petition from which he had never
been throat or deposed. Dan nays His
Worship Deride an "independent couu,
oil." 1 submit that is what we haie got
A council independent of met newapepor
men -a council dependent ou and re.
sponeible to the people, and to the peo-
ple only. Dm will persist that hie view
t.f the fitness or unfitne-s of a, person for
municipal position ie the proper stand-
ard. • The Mayor's "large majority ie
not an evidence rf hie fitness for the
pneition." 0, dear, no. The people are
all wrong and Dan only ie right 1 But
Din ie magnanimous ! He "will not
offer any factious opposition to any
efforts of the Mayor iu the interests of
the town." How kind 1 But Dan's
factious opposition scenic, to have been
and would likely be again a tower of
strength to the Mayot and Councillors
whom he opposes. Din's quiescence
will be accoutieed for because "ehe opin
ions and actions of John Butler are of
small account to the Signal" Whet
then, hat. the Signal been making-. such
pother about all the poet year? But "as
Mayor of Goderich Mr. Butler has a duty,
to perform." That is true, and the po.
ple say he has perforrnel that duty in
the interest of the town. How is it
with Din ? Dan admits not doing h's
duty. "for which we are to blame." The
peutil: know it, Van, that.you did not
do your duty. They said so at the polls.
Yen were loaded every week with dia-
tribee against the Mayor and Council,
and the people said at the pone that
your "opinicus w :re tif email aceouut
to them. 1 would juet ask spice to say
of James of the Star that he thews bet•
ter judgment than Dan over their dual
defeat. James says : "These gentlemen
(the mayor and councillors) can fairly
claim they have still the confidence of
the elecrore." He does not say they
ever forfeited that confidence, or been
restored to that public favor from which
they had never been parted.

On Friday evening the annual
meeting of the Liberal Conservative
Association of this burg was held
iu the Orange hall. A large nutn•
bet were present and lively interest
was taken in the good cause. The
election of officers resulted in the
following members being elected,
Mr. John Willford, Preaident ; J.
W. Bell, Secy. and Treas., after
which a couple of hours wore well
and truly spent in listening to
eloquent addressee from Messrs P.
Kelly, C. Hamilton, F. W. Tanner,
J. Emigh, J. Sherritt and John
Willford. All the remarks had
the true ring for the grand cause
they were advocating and will not
soon be forgotten by those that were
privileged to listen to them. At
the close of the meeting a unani-
mous and hearty vote of thanks was
tendered to retiring Pres. F. W.
Tanner. It was with deep regret
by every one present that he was
about to take his leave from amongst
us. In response he made a suitable

and regretting to have to leave us.
He could assure them that he had
received nothing but the best of
friendship since he had been here
and which would not easily be for-
gotten by him.
On Sunday moruing, high mass
with a special sermon was held in
the Roman Catholic church, Blyth,
at which there was a good congre-

largo congregation of the different
denominatione of the village assem-
bled to listen to a lecture delivered
by the pastor, Father McGee. In
opening his address the Rev. Father
wished it to be distinctly under-
stood that he did not wish to give
offence to anyone in the fow re-
marks he was about to make on the
subject he was going to treat this
evening, and that was the doctrines
of the Catholic church on the Sacra-
ment of the Eucharist. Taking a
portion of St. Paul's epistle to the
Corinthians he dwelt on it for a
short time in a very earnest and
thoughtful manner and was atten-
tively listened to, After which the
Rev. Father thanked all kindly,
Catholics and Protestants alike, for
the strict attention they had given
hint whilst addressing them and
hoped they would treat one another
kindly and not let bigotry be toler-
ated amongst them hecaueo they
worshipped at different altars. All
had a perfect right to think for
themselves and worship at which
altar they thdught was right. The
excellent choir of St. Augustine's
church rendered the musical portion
of the service with their well
known ability.

A DRIFT FROM DAUPHIN, MAN.
Editor Huron .News Record.
DEAR 6IR.—Thereahave been a number
of people writing to me setting me to give
them some infot metion regarding th la
district and I thought the best way to
antiwar them was through the columus
of the News•Recouu. Well, this is as
good a district for farming as there is in
the Province of Manitoba. It is known
as the Lake Dauphin district. It ie
bounded on the East by Lake Dauphin
on the South by the Ridiug Mountains,
on thes-Weet by the- Duck Mountainre
This valley, including the Gilbert Plain,
ie 50 Miles long and about 30 wide and
is the moat fertile district in the Cana'
dian North west or the American either.
I eaw eight men from Dakota here this
summer looking for land. I asked them
if they had not a good country in Dako-
ta. They said the country was good
enough on theAmerican side it it we"e not
for the eu:nrner hoots, cyclones, hail
storms, but winds and gophers. That
the crop had so many enemies they
never got a full one. The men had
driven 300 miles in a wagon to see this
district. Any crop will ripen here that
will ripen in Huron Co., excepting fruit
which has not been tried yet, but some
think that hardy varieties can be succee-
fully grown here. There is, however,
abundance of wild fruit such as currants,
cranbwriee, cherries, saskatoons, straw-
berries and raspberries. We are 70
miles from the nearest railway stetion.
Thin is a good stock raising country as
there is an abundant supply of hay,
grass and water. The wheat averaged
30 bushels to the aere, oats 55 ; potatoes
and all kseele of vegetables were an excel-
lent crop. The land is mostly clay loam.
About one third of the land is timbered
with poplar, elm, spruce, oak and Mani
toba maple. There is also an inexhauet-
able supply of timber on the Riding
Mountable close by on which there are
throe saw mills. There is also a grist
mill which will be running by spring.
The C; P. R. surveyed a line through
here last fail and expect to start build-
ing in the spring. When this district
gets the Hudson Bay R. R. and a branch
of the C. P. R. this will be the front of
the province and not away back in
Dauphin, because it is the moat fertile
part of the Province and nearest to the
European markets. There is plenty of
vacant land here yet, but settlers are
coming in fast. It is about 3 yeats since
the first settlers came in hero. It was
not knowa that there was any tillable
country north of the Riding mountains
until 4 years 1100. To give you some
idea of the way this place is settling up
I may say that on the first of May 1889
the firet man settled in Township 24,
range 20, and now there are 100 souls in
the township, whibh is 6 miles square,
in 20 months. I would advise any one
wanting a home to see the Dauphin die-
triot before settling elsewhere. I will
close by thankiog you for the space in
your valuable paper. I remain yours,
HENRY HUGHES.
