AN EXCHANGE says :—The blather- skite sport politician is going round with his cockrobin wad of dollar bills wrapped round a baby's sock offering to bot with everybody. He talks very loud and yanks out the wad at every opportunity. He hasn't money enough to put up anything, and is simply talking that he may hear himself bray. GIVE BOYS AND GIRLS N Etr S- PAPERS.—An experienced schoul- teachers is quoted by a contempor- ary to the effect that pupils who have access to newspapers at honkie, when compared with those who have not, are bettor readers, better spellers, better grammarians, bettor punctuators, road more understand- ingly, and obtain a practical know- ledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others. This is trua, twt only of school pupils, but of grown up people. As an educa- tor tilt) newspaper is invaluable and can be had for almost nothing. FALSE ALARM.—Mr. Searle went to see a friend, living a few miles out of town, last week. Mr. Robb, a respectable retired farmer, was going for some distance in the sante direction and Mr. Searle rode with him. Coming to a swamp Mr. Robb showed Mr. Searle part of the way across it and by taking which route Mr. Searle would save soveral miles travel on foot. Mr. Robb drove on with the understanding that Jir. Searle was to meet hire at a certain hour at the point where they separ- ated, so that they could ,eturu to Clinton together. Mr. Robb was there at the appointed time and waited several hours, then as Mr. Searle did not put in an appearance he drove on to town. Inquiries at the store of Messrs. Davis & Row- land revealed the fact that Mr. Searle had not returned ; nor had he the next day. Parties from that locality in town reported that they had seen a man, carrying a valise, answering the description of Mr. Searle, in the swamp with a man whom they did not know. Then some one got up the report that Mr. Searle had a valise with him con- taining $700. Tho real facto being that the contents of the "grip" were pruning tools, which Mr. Searle knows so well how to use. How- ever, bearing the Birchall-Ben well tragedy in mind, some, only partly acquainted with the present circum- stances, began to surmise such an- other case. Rumor magnified and distorted matters uutil there was a tremendous shudder among Mr. Searle's friends at the th aught of certain possibilities. A person who came through the swamp to town, the day after Mr. Searle was seen to enter it, reported finding a portion of a Globe and War Cry. This was looked upon as a means to identify the route taken by Mr. Searle after he parted from his friend Robb and a search was about to be made when the gentleman returned home safe and sound. ► Miss CLARA SLOMAN, of Detroit Mu.

A QUEER FARMERS' SOCIETY.— There is a peculiar society lu the County of Wentworth amoug the farmers knowu as the Society for the Recovery of Stolen Horses. The initiation fee is $1, and 25 cents a year is collected afterward. When the horses of any of the members of the society are stolen the society pays fur the recovery.,, and if recovery is impossible two- thirds the value of the animal is paid from the general fuud to the loser. The president is Henry Anderson of East Flawboro' and the secretary -treasurer is John Stock. ON Friday last while one of D. 1). Wilson's egg collecting wagons, in charge of Toni Richardsou, was standing in front of \Visewau's Dry Goode store, a quantity of suow which had collected ou the roof, suddenly fell, immediately opposite the horses, and, equiue like, they speeded off, inking their course duo uorth down Albert street until when in front of Bell's Hotel the tongue struck an electric light polo, and making it a pivot the wagon described a half -circle from which fact the speed at which it was going was be inferred. One of the horses was secured on the spot while the other took in a block devoid of all at- tachments save the collar. The damage to eggs and boxes was slight. TUE FRIEND OF AN OLD FRIEND. —Saturday the writer went to Godnrich and on the way formed the acquaintance of Mr. Janes McCreight, of \Vinghatn, Returning Officer's clerk for East Huron, who was on his way to the county town to make inquiries coucorning the ballot boxes for that Riding. We found Mr. McCreight one of those men whose outward manner gives no indication of the wealth of information which they actually possess. Casually we struck upon a topic of common interoet. Hav- ing nany years ago known one J. F. McCreight, a prominent barrister of Victoria, 13. C., afterward Attor- ney General of British Columbia, we found lie was uncle to our travelling companion. NELSON DID NOT DO HIS DUTY. —Over a couple of weeks ago a man named Nelson, who formerly lived near Belgrave, hired a horse and buggy at Jas. Beatty's livery in Clinton to drive north for the alleged purpose of collecting money due him for the services of an entire horse which he travelled in that section last summer. It seems that in returning ono night he took the bolls off the horse, evidently to escape detection, and drove through town to Brueefield, where he left the horse and rig. He beat the hotel Men there out of his hill, the stage driver out of his fare to Sea - forth and\ the hotel roan at tho latter place out of his bill Sud, for all our imforivant knows is keeping up the racket. By good fortune Mr. Beatty was informed by a friend of his horse and buggy being in Brueefield which he got after them being out fourteen days, for which time he got nothig and had to pay for the keep of the horse.

We have a strange anomaly in our midst, people belonging to an order ailed the Sons of England, some of whom are working for the candid- ate of the party which favors An- nexation to a foreign country. The motto of the Sons of England is "Fidelity—faithful to oureeives, faithful to each other, and faithful to our' country." One object of the order and the first on the list stands: "maintenance ofthe British Connec- tion," and a member taking the oath of allegiance to a foriogn power is expelled from the order. How any body can be a sworn member of aseciety whose foundation is faithful- ness to Euglanll, and whose primary object is the maintenance 'of the British connection, and yet support a political faction whose evident ob- joct is to break the British connec- tion, wo cannot understand. Of all the silly, meaningless, rant- ing rot addressed to intelligent men is the argument that: "The Cana - pian farmer would got $30 a head more for each horse than he now does were the American tariff taken ofd'; that he would get 30 cents a bushel more for his barley were the duty taken off. It is well knowu that when the duty was taken off tea the Canadian consumer got the bene- fit. Tho 12 cents a pound did not go into the pockets of the tea grow- er in Japan and China. Not at all. The Canadian consumer buys his tea the amount of the former duty less, Take the duty off horses, barley and the American consumer would buy these articles the amount of the duty less. The duty would not go into the pockets of tho Canadian farmer. Not at all. Take the Canadian duty off pork and our farmers would get 1 to 2c per lb loss for their hogs. Take the Canadian duty of 10 cents a bushel off oats, the duty of 15 cents off wheat; the duty of 10 cents off peas and our farmers would get just the amount of the duties less for his oats,his wheat and his peas. These duties if taken off would not go into the pockets of American farmers. Not at a11. They would go into the pockets of the Canadian consumers. This is not only the contention of Conserva- tives but also of Free Traders as re- gards Canada, What have the Grits been howling and yelping about for years? That the tariff is a tax to the extent of the duty; that were the duties elf the consumer would get dutiable goals that much leas. The Grits know they are talking the veriest clap -trap when they try to stuff Canadian farmers that the amount of American duties would go into their pockets if those duties were token off. \Vhy do American farmers want theduties on horses and barley? That they may get that much more for what they produce. Why do the Ameri- can buyers of horses and barley want the duties off horses? That they may buy horses and barley that much less. - -.----- Friend ITolmes says the Liberals were never in better spirits than they are now. Keep them up, for you will sorely need them after the 5th of March. The wrath of the elec- tors who cannot be bought, and who are not yet ripe for annexation, will sweep away these good spirits so effectively that in their place will be deapair and gnashing of teeth. VOTE LMR PORTBR AND KEEP OUT OP THE "sour." We hear a great deal about loyalty to England just now. It is needed sorely. With such traitors in our midst as the Wirnan-Farrer•Cart' wright clique, who if they had their righteous due would be on tho inside of prison bars, if not expelled from the country. Q Vote for Porter. UURR.EN'L' TOPIO1, IT MEANS ANNEXATION. Should the Grits triumph, all doubts will be set at rest as to what is Canada's destiny. It will not be so very many years before she will he knocking at the door of your Uncle Sam—Buffalo News. A LOYAL REFORMER SPEAKS. When I see the 'Toronto Globe preaching annexation, thinly veiled ash may be,when the Young Liberals of 'Toronto are lauding the statements of Goldwin Smith, then it is time for MO to say that we are prepared to band the country over to a foreign land.—Edgar Judge, ex•preaident Young Liberal Club, Montreal. GRITS WANT YANKEE BOODLE. President Lane, at Boston, said : "Our Liberal friends,[ i aiding and Longley, of Nova Scotia ; Davis, of Prince Edward Island ; Mercier and Laurier, of Quebec; Cartwright, of Ontario, and a host besides, LOOK TO US, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR 'THE SIGN BY vV1JIClf THEY SHALL CON- QUER.' Can we deny them?'' And this was the sign : THE CANADIAN STATE:3. The New York Press of Sunday has a big attractive heading as fol- lows :—The Crisis is near—Cana- da's Destiny Soon to be Determined —Success for the Liberals Means Annexation. NEVERI NO, NEVER! "We have allowed Canada in one hemisphere anciVictoria in another;to protect themselves all round, tax British and foreign goods alike, but THE DEMAND THAT A BRITISH COLONY SHALL BE ALLOWED TO FAVOR A FOREIGN NATION AT TUB EXPENSE OP THE MOTH- ER COUNTRY CAN NEVER BE ENTERTAIN— ED WHILE CANADA REMAINS A PORTION OF THE EMPIRE"—Salisbury, Eng., .Journal, February 7, ISJI. TRUE PATRIOTISM. I believe that this election which is a great crisis and upon which so much depends, will show to the Americans that we prize our country as much as they do theirs, that we would fight for our exsietence as much as they fought for the preser- vation of their independence; that the spirit of our fathers, which fought and won battle after battle, still ex- ists in their sons; and if I thought it was otherwise I would say the sooner the grass was growing over my grave the better, rather than I should see the degradation of the country which I have loved so much and which [ have served so long.—Sir John at Toronto. Editor News -Record Sia,—Allow me to congratulate you on the fullness and fairness of your report of Mr. Porter's remarks at the Conservative meeting here. Though not in accord with Mr. Porter in all matters, I cannot re- frain from doing him justice. In this instance I wish to correct a barefaced lying statement in the Neu, E••a that "IIe said he had voted for the Jesuit Bill." Mr. Porter did not say so. flo is n truthful man and could not say so. Ile neither voted for the Jesuit Bill nor for any- thing in connection with it. He voted against a proposal to censure the Government for allowing the Jesuit Estates Bill, which was passed by the Province of Quebec, to be- come law in the usual constitutional way. This he told the people. The New Era publishes a lie when it states that Mr. Porter said be "loved" the Orangemen." lie said"he knew thorn as a class to be God-fearing, loyal men," the vary words used in your report. IIe says Mr. Porter "forgot to tell that he voted for higher taxation." Again Mr. Porter spewed his truthfulness. IIe could not truthfully say that he voted tor higher taxation. No such hill ever came up in Parliament. IIe could not forget to tell what never happen- ed, and he would not deign to invent, lies as the Era man does. The Era man follows up his lying inventions when he states that Mr. Porter said, "Canadians were only taxed 40 per cent while Americans were taxed 60 per cent". What he did say was the Canadian tariff averaged 27 per cent. while the American tariff was 60 per cent. And Mr. Porter was right. It would he useless to follow the lying Era statements about Mr. Porter any farther. Though I may be called a "sorehead" with regard to Mr. Porter, 1 want to give him fair play even in whet is called ,the Jesuit matter. And I will soy I was rnucb grieved at the Act becoming law, yet I now be- lieve Mr. Porter voted conscientious• ly and as he thought constitutionally. At any rate in the coming election I shall vote for him. Of two evils I am bound to choose the least. I could not vote for CP meron who stated in the !louse that"Riel was not a traitor to the Queen." I could not vote for DIr. Cameron who said in his place in the Ilouse that there never was any organization in any country more disgraceful and scandalous than the Orange body, and all other loyal men throughout the country, because they insisted that simple justice be meted out to Riel and those who raised the standard of rebellion and spilled some of the beet blood of the loyal sons of Canada which was shed in defence of British institu• tions. I could not vote for Cameron, for, whatever his individual opinions may be, he supports a party whose policy means annexation to the United States. A British subject I was born, a British subject I hope to die. And I shall vote for John A. and British connection and suprem- acy, though I had said a thousand hard things against Robert Porter.
