It is very important that every Conservative should understand that names .on the old Dominion lief as ‘;sincome voters" or `owner's sons" or on the new municipal lists as "man - hod fi•auchiae" will not appear on the new list unless they make fresh applications, No taxes are incurred by those coming under these heads having their names put on. Almost every British subject 21 year of age is entitled to vote if put on the list. It is the duty of the isreeidents and vice-presidents of the Coneirvative associations in the various municipalities to obtain all those names and get them on, If they hive no schedule or single forms of declaration, these may be obtained by applying to presidents or secretaries of the reepectative riding associations, or, we believe the Revising officers. As the now municipal liste are nearly all out Coneervatives should scan them over and see if there are any omission of owners, or change in ownership that should have been thereon, and if there are, get the omission or correction made on the Dominion list, We shall be glad to have any if our friends who know of any that ought to be on or whom they sur- mise may be omitted, will leave in- formation at the NEWS -RECORD office. We will give them what help we can to forward the fullest repres- entation possible on the voters' list, and it behooves every Conservative to give a helping hand. Good government should induce every one to do his duty, and that before the 31st July. EDITORIAL NOTES. During last month over- half a million of Canadian eggs were im- ported into:'England and brought remunerative prices. McKinley did it. One cannot but admire the sensi- tive conscience of those who would not raise barley, no matter how .well it would pay them, because its chief use is to make beer. Those who hold like scruples will have to take care who they sell their apples to, as nearly all the apples dried by the evaporating process are shipped to France to make French brandy. The Witness endeavors to make a point against the Conservative party in tha Tarte-McGreevy-Connolly- Murphy investigation because both accused and accussess are of that po- litical stripe. This is quite incon- sequential, however. if all the parties to an alleged conspiracy were Methodists this would not im- -plicate the Methodist church. Both party and church inculcate doing right. While all Orangemen must be loyal to Bible and Queeu, or violate their obligation, they do not claim to monopolize ail the Christianity or loyalty in the country. They believe that others can be Chrh- tians as well as loyal though they .r"mas1 not belong to the Order.

Dr. McDonald, M. P., Huron, talked hia old epeeol:es for nearly four hours in the budget debate. He was suocessful ixt driving nearly four-fifths of thea -members out of the House. Good man Doctor. He is a terror to his Mende if not to..his foes. John McMillan, M. P., Huron, in referring to the cost of binder twine in the United States and" Canada, during his remarks in the House, proved himself a better man than Old George Washington. G. W., it is said, couldn't tell a lie. John McMillan showed not ouly that the member for South Huron could tell a lie but proved it. Though John McMillan, M. P, South Huron, when speaking in favor of prohibition in the House, declared that Scotchmen were in- ferior to Chinamen in thrifty and manly qualities, we believe they compare favorably in these and in all moral and physieial qualities with any other people on the face of the earth. Good authority is given for the opinion that too many horses are raised in Canada and not enough cows. In cheese and beef we send more to Britain than any other country of similar population and get better prices that the biggestand best of them. The raising of horn- ed cattle is not so risky and brings quicker and better returns than does that of horses. The Democratic convention of Ohio adopted as one of its planks "closer commercial relitions with our Canadian neighbors and the re- moval of embarrassing restrictions." There is some sense in an American party advocating the taking off the American restrictions to trade. But it is sheer nonsenae for the Canad- ian Grits to have as one of the planks of their platform war to the death against the Canadian Torics because they do not remove restric- tions imposed by the Americans. N. Connolly, the chief partner in the contracting firm, whom partner Murphy sought to implicate in the alleged wrong doing charged against Sir Hector Langevin, denies posit- ively under oath that eitherho•or,his firm ever gave one dollar, to Sir Hector. his eon, Thos. McGreevy, or any person for them, or to any one else, in order to s•scure contracts or for election purposes. It seems that Murphy pocketed large sums of the firm's money, or spent it spec- utating in New York and when held to an accounting claimed that he spent it in donations to election funds, etc, The United States are a world within themselves. They have im• moose natural resources—a perfect embarrassment of riches in agricul- tura! and other natural products Too much of these to make it pro- fitable to put almost prohibitive duties on European pioductions. For France, Germany, Italy and Austria are now putting extra dutiies on American products in self-pro- tection. And the latest move is that of the Russian Government which has established immense pork packing establishments on the Am- erican plan at a cost of $1,500,000, and is arrauging to supply all the European centres of trade with hog products. Dr. McDonald of Iluron keeps harping in the House about the liberal policy ne calculated to widen our markets, whereas the spry reverse is the case. Its very essence is a similarity of tariffs with 60,000,000 millions of the moat highly taxed people, who have pro. duets aintilar to our own to sell, and diserimination against 367,000,- 000 British subjects and hundreds of millions of other people whose staple products are totally dissimilar to ours, and whom we can meet advantageously buy from and sell to.

Hie old grievance that the Indiana did not have plug hate and bailed shirts, and ,veal cutlets and toast on quail instead of Hour and bacon, or that one of the alleged bloodthirsty Orangemen wad expelled for voting for him, are a mere nothing' compared with the iniquity of the Government for not engaging one of his Goderich constituents to work this Beason un the government dredge. The wicked partners in the 'Grit company that le acting an unparlia• mentary vereiou of a cotnedy of errors in the House have their moments of weakness and show that there is little coheeiou among them. Grit Cameron charges Grit Casey with being bribed with shares in a railway company to vote in the Houde for a loan to the com- pany. Grit Casey says Grit Cam- eron does not know what he is talking about. Grit 'hillock wants to violate the rules of the house and Grit Cartwright requests him not to make a fool of himself. Then Grit Mulock shakes his fiat at the Knight of the "tin pot" title. And all the while the tottering Tory government sit on Treasury benches wondering how long this Kilkenny cat fighting will last. Mr. Clark Wallace rather over- stepped the mark when he stated in the House.that salt when sold at 55 cents "undoubtedly Bold at a profit." The actual net cost of a barrel of salt, including the barrel, which is worth nearly 30 cents, we are told by men in the bueiness is adout 70 cents. Mr. Wallace made a good point, however, when he il- luminated the coal oil besiness. It seems that when coal oil sold hers at 12 cents the imperial gallon and no charge for the barrel, American oil sold on the other side for 7i- cante per wine gallon, equal to 9 cents the imperial gallon. And then there was a charge for the barrel equal to 3 cents a gallon which made the cost for coal oil on the other side, for equal measure, the same price as here. Though THE .NEWS -RECORD does, as the Mitchell Recorder says, find fault with the Franchise Act on so - count of no provision being made for giving publicity as to when and how those entitled should be put on, we must disagree with the Recorder that the Act aims only at getting those on who are favorable to the Tory party. The Act neither aims at nor effects such a purpose. In this county at least, we have person- al knowledge that it has worked,the other way. But we contend, though it should give the Grits a legitimate advantage, more publicity in the di- rection we have referred is necess- ary. Conservatives are not afraid of the voice of the people and we would like to see every one entitled to vote put on the list and even com- pelled to go to the polls,whether they be Grit or Tory. ho -did not know *hat be wail talk- inn ahatlw, and .thaw if'.bie tthargen against anenthers tat ,'arliarineitt in tither etseea wherepto•'better foutt{led.

Mulook shaking his fist at Mw as he retreated. Clark Wallace's contentiou prevailed and Molook's motion was ruled out, Whether it is the prospect of success or the madness of despair that has set Grit members of Parliament to quarreling among themselves we know not. One thing is certain they are not a happy family. A few days ago M. C.. Cameron de- nounced the loan by the Govern- ment to a railway north of Winni- peg for colonization purposes. In doing so he said that a considerable number of shares had been distribut- ed among members of the Houde to purchase their support It seems that only two members own shares in it and they paid cash for them. One of these is Mr. Casey, of Elgin, a fellow Grit of Mr. Cameron. W htn, Mr„y ( imeron—got,thronglw his brother Grit Casey wont forvhim in lively style, telling Mr. Cameron A repent c^se in Toronto where an unmarried girl named Annie Long was charged with killing her infant, the coroner's jury acquitted the accused, though, it is said, the the evidence of her guilt was appar- ent. Though the girl may be guil- ty, there is one still more so—her betrayer. She could not provide for the child, her betrayer would not. If the law were so that the betrayer could be punished, the un fortunate girl should be let off with a comparatively light sentence on condition that she gave up his name and established his being the father of her child. Then punish him as severely as possible. If the law were soutething lithe this there would be fewer of these scoundrels, and those who did accomplish their hellish purpose would be more like- ly than now to provide for their double victims. All the preachers of the sternest morality that ever lived or will live, cannot alter pub lic opinion that in ninety-nine cases out of hundred those unfortunate girls:are more (sinned agt lust than sinning. Annually, John McMillan, M. P., launches forth a tirade• in the House against the duty on2 corn. He is the most persistent legislator for individual interests in the Ho use, though affecting a care for the farm- ers generally. He wants cheap corn iu the interest of •distillers and cat- tle feedere. Farmers generally do not waut cheap whiskey and cheap course grains and cheap cattle. The average farmer, the greet mass of farmers, raise enough coarse grain to feed their own cattle and to fat- ten thosu of the middlemen who buy stockers. Cheap corn would benefit the few and injure the many. The member for South Huron is re- creant to the interests of his constit uents, who aro chiefly farmers, and wants free corn to benefit himself and a few other speculators iu cat- tle, at the expense of the great ma- jority of farmers. Some oue has summed up John McMillan as fol- lows : "Mr. McMillan, of Huron, is a rank free trader, sees in the Nitiooal Polioy child of the devil, views a Conservative as an off-pring of the serpent, and the etnbodiinent of original sin, and the coon• try as a vast desert of desolation and ruin." Corby, M. P., rattled John Mc- Millan on hie free corn fad most unmercifully. Corby imported 70,- 000 buehels of cern last year on which he paid over $5,000 duty. Evidently he did not oppose taking the duty off corn in order to put money in hie own pocket. He did so to put money in the pockets of the farmers who sent hint there. As he remarked, "It was not to legia- late to put money in his own pocket he came to Parliament but to vote for the interests of his own constitu- ency and the general welfare of the whole Dominion." In 1889 we im- ported $1,500,000 worth of corn and cornmeal into this country at a duty of Vs, cents •'or bushel. This oorn Caine in contact with all our coarse grains in this Dominion and would have run up into many more millions and necessarily reduced the value of all home grown coarse grains were it not for the duty. The total imports of all farm pro• ducts into Canada from the United States and Great Britain was $12,- 805,690, and still the member for Huron and other members on the Opposition aide of the House got up and spoke in favor of freo trade.
