FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1892
During the past week there were
forty-two failures in Canada as com-
pared. with twenty-eight for the cor-
responding period of the previous
year. The N. P. must have slipped a
cog to allow such deplorable business
showing to occur.
The Globe on Monday states that "a
fantastically shaped turnip" was sold
on change on Saturday. The Empire
states that it was a carrot. It must
have been an hermaphrodite when such
agricultural authorities as these, two
papers differ about it. •
Natural gas is being found nearer
and nearer to Hamilton. It may be
that Hamilton lies over a natural as
reservoir, notwithstanding the opinion
of geologists. -Hamilton Spectator.
Readers of the Spectator have beep
of, the opinion that a "natural gas
reservoir" was not far away.
Richelieu, which at the:geteral elec-
tion gave Sir Hector Langevin a ma-
jority of 808, was carried by the7,Liber-
als, in the by-election, on Monday, by
a majority of 104. As the: Riding has
been in possession of the Conserva-
tives for years, the Liberals naturally
feel elated with the change. The:Em-
pire, singularly, does not attribute the
change this time to the, improper use
of money, but to "McGreevy" influ-
ence in the Riding. We do not mind
what the cause was, so long as it is
legitimate, but hope that McGreevy or
any other proper influence may cause
sinsilar revulsion in more of the Con-
servative strongholds.
Another victory for Mr Mowat in
the courts. The Ontario court of ap-
peal has decided that the provincial
governments have the right to exercise
the power of pardoning persons found
guilty of violating provincial statutes.
The case was first at gued before Chan-
cellor WO, nPPU a joint refeTence by
the provincial and federal governments,
the latter holding that the pardoning
power was vested exclusively in the G ovs
ernor-General-in-council. The chancel-
lor gave judgment in favor of the pro-
vince, and on Friday the court of appeal
decided that the position taken by At-
torney -General Mowat was constitu-
tionally sound, and gave .judgment in
his favor upon every issue. In every
instance in which the federal 'ministers
have entered the legal arena against
Mr Mowat they have been compelled
to bite the dust. As a constitutional
lawyer Ontario's premier is invincible,
and the Dominion minister of justice
is not likely to worry himself any more
over the question of grand jury obolit-
ion, since Mr Mowat has warned him
that the subject is one with which the
Dominion parliament has nothing to
do. The victory won by Mr Mowat
with respect to the pardoning power is
an important one, as it adds greatly to
the independence of each province in
the administration of its own laws.
Time to Move.
The coming session of Parliament
should not be allowed to pass without
some member raising the question of
the extension of Canada's trade with
Great Britain. Despite the unusually
favorable crop returns last year, dissat-
isfaction and discontent are widespread
throughout Ontario. Farmers feel the
loss of the American market, particu-
larly in the matter of horses. A vigor-
ous and heroic remedy is required for
the present condition of affairs, and
that can best be applied in the form of
a sweeping reduction in the duties
charged on British imports in return
for preferential treatment for Canadian
exports to the markets of Britain.
The above is clipped from the Toron-
to News, (Conservative,) and fully en-
dorses all that,has been said by the Li-
beral press as to the financial condition
of the country, and points out one way
of relief, but couples with it a condition
that it knows very well will never be
conceded; but it only does this for the
purpose of letting itself down easy, or
of heeling put of its advocacy:of more
freedom to foreign trade if partizan ex-
igency requires it. For Tory papers to
talk of preferential treatment by Bri
lain, for pretended favors granted by
Canada, in lowering duties on imports
from that country, is impudence of the
rankest character. They are continu-
ally crying "Treason! treason!" if;Lib-
eral journals merely mention some fact
that shows that, the present govern-
ment -is repeatedly doing something to
loosen the ties that bind us to the mo-
ther country. But, r ever mind. we are
s,(sled to see that a Conservative paper
v
frankly admits that the country is suf-
fering from depression, and that " He-
roin remedies" are required to prodnee
a change for the better.
I4 •
The West iinrort Conservatives did
nO,t nominate acandiclate at their meet -
Oa Wednesday, They will meet later
on to do so.
We would like to see' the Liberals
carry every by-election, though we are
not so sanguine as that, but it seems
to us a very unwise thing for the me-
tropolitan journals to be continually
boasting that this or that side is "sure
to be victorious," It is not only pre-
mature to boast beforehand, but it is
exceedingly galling to take back -water
if the boasting' should turn out incor-
rect.
The Toronto Globe, under its present
management, has been more kindly
disposed to the rural Liberal press than
waslts wont heretofore,eand its issue
of Wednesday contains the following
graceful acknowledgement:
Liberals can hardly err on the side of
too high an appreciation of the good
work which the Liberal press outside of
Toronto are doing. Most of them aze
edited by men who have strong, clear
convictions, with the courage and abil-
ity to express them; and the public
man who reads them gets a knowledge
of popular feeling which he could never
obtain from journals which merely
echoed his own utterances. ,
. The "Ideal" in Education.
(Contributed!
The true teacher is a public educator.
The end of education is, and the aim of the
educaizat should be to fit men and women,
not only to live, but to live the best life
possible. Now, this fitness to live, and to
live well, is not a something added on to an
individual, and which may be laid off at
pleasure, like a coat or at, but is a some-
thing infixed in his character, which mani-
fests itself in every outcome of his life.
Conduct, it has been truly said, is the sum
total of life, viewed from an ethical stand-
point. The character of a man's thought,
speech and action is an infallible index of
his character. In a word, they are insep-
arable. If we would teach mei and women
to secure their own highest good, and the
highest good of others, we must teach them
first to think rightly concerning themselves
and others, and to live in harmony with
their highest convictions. I believe it is
the Duke of Argyle who has defined the
educated man as oae who knows his true
relation to the material universe, the world
in whish we live, and who knows and/ob-
serves his true relation to the moral uni-
verse; in a word, the man whose head and
heart are right, and all his conduct under
their control. This conception of the edu-
cated man gives prominence to the two
great facts concerning man's nature, vi.:
that, as to his body, he is part of' the ph.
sical universe, and subject to its laws, whils
as to his spirit. he is part of the moral ubi-
verse, and subject to moral law. To fit
man to live the highest life he is capable of
living, we must, therefore, teach him to
understand nature, his own body being
part, and to understand and observe his
relation to moral law, and through that
relation to rise to the conception of his
duty to God and man. "Know thyself,"
said Socrates, the Greek philosopher. -
Know -thy powers -and capabilities;, know
thy limitations, know thy duties. "Keep
thy heart with all diligence, for out of it
are the issues of life," said Solomon, the
Hebrew philosopher. "Where the Spirit
of the Lord is there is liberty," said Paul,
the Christian philosopher. "Ye shall know
the truth and the truth eball make you
free." "Mao looketh on the outward
things, but God looketh on the heart," said
Jesus, the God -man. So, all down the
ages, knowledge and faith, right thinking
and right conduct have been inseparable.
The ideal man, therefore, must be in pos-
session of a sound heart, a sound mind, in
a sound body. Man's tri -part nature is a
perfect unity, and cannot attain to perfec-
tion of development, unless his education
extend along all three of these lines. The
slim of human life may be compared to a
three -strand cable, in which each strand
mutually strengthens and is strengthened
by the others, while the strength of the
three, thus combined, far exceeds the sum
of their strengths considered singly. How
to attain this perfect combination, will be
subject for further discussion.

Political Points.
Had Sir John Macdonald lived, he would
have been 77 years old on Monday last.
A true bill for conspiracy has been re'
turned against Hon. Thomas McGreevy
and Mr N. K. Connolly. The trial goes
over to next assizes.
It is feared that the Duke of Clarence
and Avondale, eldest son of the Prfnce
of Wales, will die from an attack of
congestion of the lungs from which he
is suffering.
A Step towards the promised recon-
struction of the Ministery was taken
on Saturday, when it was decided that
Hon. John Haggart, Postmaster Gen-
eral, should vacate that office and as-
sume the portfolio of Railways and
Canals. Hon. J. A, Ouimet is assigned
the portfolio of Public Works, vice Sir
Hector Langevin, Further Cabinet
changes of an important character are
promised.
It has been decided to hold a num-
ber of Ontario elections on the same
day as that already selected for Lin-
coln county, viz: Polling Thursday,
Jan. 28. On that day the electors in
Kingston, Prince Edward, Lennox,
East Simcoe, Lincoln, Last Middlesex,
Peel and Halton will choose their re-
presentatives. Nomination day will
be Thursday, Jan 21.
The annual meeting of the Liberal
ConservativeAssociation ofWestIluron
was held at Smith's Hill, on Wednes-
day, with a large attendance. The no-
mination was adjourned until Feb. 3rd,
at the same place. The old officers were
re-elected for the ensuing year. Reso-
lutions were passed regretting the death
of Sir John A. Macdonald, and etpress-
ing confidence in Premier Abbott and
Sir John Thompson; also one of con-
dolence for the death of E. Corbett, of
Clinton. Addresses were delivered by
Mr. Hugh Morrison and Dr. Tennant,
of Lucknow, on the political situation.
The Ottawa Citizen the Government
organ, prints an inspired arcticle regarding
Mr W. R. Meredith. It intimates that he
will not enter the Dominion Ministry.
The arctiele says in part : "Should the
present leader of the Ontario Opposition
remain in the Legislature we shall assume
that business engagements, and no question
of the dictation of certain dignitaries
brought about the result. Power would
not be worth the keeping which was held
contrary to those higher elements of State-
craft, without which the whole system of
responflible Government would be a mere
mockery, dehiSion arid snare.

•Irh0 41EXand , Death.
audync osaorom.—Bir Osborne has
been a resident of town for a number
of years, latterly having been employ-
ed on the railway. 1e gave up his
situation a vouple of months ago, ow -
Ing to his illness, and gradually sank
until Saturday evening last, w en he
passed away. He was a member of
the Canadian. Order of Foresters, in
which he carried a life insurance. He
was a quiet, retiring man, and belong-
ed to the Methodist church.
MR GIFFIN.-Mr J. A. Giffin, of the
Collegiate Institute, was called away
last Friday by the unexpected death of
his father, for many years one of the
prominent residents of St Mary's. Mr
Giffin was quite well almost up to the
moment of his death, and sat reading
to his wife, whbn the book fell from
his hands, and before his wife could
reach him, his spirit had taken its de-
parture. He was one of the most
• zealous members of the Methodist
church, and enjoyed the fullest confi-
dence of his many acquaintances.
Mita TEBBurr.-The wife of Mrs
Fred Tebbutt, of the 14th con, 0-. T.,
died on Monday, after a long illness.
Two years ago she contracted grippe,
from which she never fully recovered.
She was one of the oldest, settlers in
the township, and for many years a
member of the B. C. Church before the
union. She leaves a family of three
sons and eight daughters living. She
was'perfectly conscious up to a few
moments before her death, dying in
great peace and trust.
JOHN MCDAIRMID.-Mr. John Dair-
mid, another of the old and long res-
pected villagers passed away at Bruce -
field on Tuesday night, at the ripe age
of 81 years. lie was a retired farmer,
and had lived in the village for a num-
ber of years, and was a member of the
Union Presbyterian Church Like a
great many who have lately passed
away, la grippe was the cause of his
death, his illness lasting but a few days.
He leaves a wife and family, the latter
having all attained to the years of man-
hood and womanhood, and the former
being an aged woman.
MRS MCINTYRE.-The wife of James
McIntyre, manager of Mayor Doherty's
Hurcin Central Stock Farm, passed
away on Wednesday, in her 40 year.
Grippe was the immediate cause of
death, though she was in a somewhat
enfeebled condition, owing to her re-
cent confinement. She was a daughter
of Mr W. Smithson, having been -born
in town, and leaves a family of 4 chil-
dren. She was perfectly conscious to
the last," -recognizing hbr father a mo-
ment before she died. She was a
member of the- Episcopal Church.
Her funeral takes place to -day, Friday,
at 2 o'clock.
WILLIAM MCLEAN-Mr W. l‘IcLertn,
of Goderich, or "Bill McLean," as he
was commonly caleJ, was well known
all the west as an extensive buyer
of cattle, but during the last year ou so,
through failing health he becaine less
active in his pursuits, and for the past
eight or ten months has, beenhiract ical-
ly an invalid, although able to be about
up to within a few hours of his death.
In fact he went out tohearSain Small's
lecture two nights before he died. He
Was the eldest son of Me Edward. Mc-
Lean, of Goderich Township, and was
asnative-Of TffeiThilifity. His -only child'
is the wife of Rev I. B. Walwin, of
Bluevale. A very large number fol-
lowed his remains to the Goderich
Cemetery, on Monday.
MRS BAKER. - Death carried away
another pioneer on Wednesday, in the
person of Mrs. Baker, of the Maitland
con.'Goderich township, relict of the
late Robert Baker. Deceased was born
in Ireland, but emigrated to this coun-
try with her husband over 50 years ago,
they settling at once in Goderich town-
ship, then a wilderness, so that she was
thoroughly familiar with all phases of
pioneer life. In early life she identified
herself with the Methodist Church, and
was faithful to the last. Her death
was the result of age, combined with
the prevailing grip. She leaves four
sons, John, Henry, and William, in
Goderich township, and James, living
in Oregon; also four daughters, all mar-
ried, three living sonic distance away,
the fourth being Mrs. Malcolm Taylor,
of Clinton. The funeral will take place
at 12 o'clock, on Saturday.
MR. PRIM-TAAL-0o Sunday morn-
ing Mr A. E. Pridham, of Goderich,
passed away after a lingering illness,
at the early age of 27 years. About
three years ago deceased was married
in St. Paul's Church, Clinton, to Miss
Grace Robertson, and no couple ever
entered upon life with brighter pros-
pects for their future happiness. Mr
Pridham was at the tine in business in
Goderich, which he continued until a
few months ago, when he was com-
pelled to give it up, owing to ill -health.
He continued to decline, notwithstand-
ing that the very best of attention and
medical assistance was rendered him,
and his widow • has the sincere sym-
pathy of her many old friends in her
bereavement. A sad illustration of
life's uncertainty was the fact that the
dapple team of horses which took him
to St:Paul's Church on the occasion
of his marriage, also carried him to
tlreegrave.
DUNCAN CA MERON. -Last Saturday
sew the remains of Mr Duncan Carrier -
on, one of the oldest and most highly
respected residents of Brucefield, car-
ried to the grave. La grippe was the
immediate cause of his death, but be
bad been in a feeble condition for about
a year previous to his death. He was
one of the earliest settlers in the neigh-
borhood. He left Inverness in 18.53,
and like many others of the early in-
habitants of Ontario, who are fast
passing away, he came in the prime
of life to find a home in Canada, and
spent the remainder of his life in the
village. He remained in the congre-
gation of the late Rev John Ross, who
withheld from the Union of the Pres-
byterian churches in Canada, and gave
a loving and diligent support to the
work. He is remembered by those
wile were his Sunday School pupils, as
a gentle but earnest teacher, and by all
who knew him as a very conscientious
and upright man. Mrs Cameron still
survives him, and his youngest son,
Diincan, an employee of the C. P. R. in
Manitoba., is now home with his moth-
er. His other 'sons are also in Mani-
toba, two of them engaged in farming
and -the eldest, Henry, is manager of
the Northwest Eleetrfc Light • Co in
Winnipeg.
ARTHUR ERNEST MALCOMSON.-The
death of Arthur Ernest, eldest son of
Master -in -Chancery Malcomson, at the
early age of 26 years, which took place
last Saturday, after a lengthened ill-
ness from typhus aggravated by la
grippe, closes the career of one of the
most promising yourfg men of the town.
Deceased .eft ly took a liking to the life
of a sailor, had 'snceeecied la attaiaing
a front Place as a Inariner, and being
of an aftable disposition, had succeeded
I in winning the goodwill and esteem of
I both employers and associates, fle
sailed as firkit, mate of the prop, Olym-
pia, Buffalo, during the past season,
and contracted his illness while sailing
but stuck to the vessel until the last,
and then almost helpless with illness
started for his Canadian home, From
the first the only hope for his recovery
lay in the faet that he had up to that
tune been favored with a magnificent
Constitution, and in the long weeks
that intemened bravely did he contend
in the unequal' struggle, which termi-
nated on Saturday.-Goderich Signal.
The Late J. W. Manning.
The following resolution speaks for
itself: -Moved by Bro George Maclean
Rose, P. G-. W. P., seconded by Bro
Thomas Caswell, P. G. W. PI 'That
at this first meeting of Ontario Divi-
sion No. 26, Sons of Temperance, since
the death of Bro J. W. -Manning, P. G.
W. P., (father of Reeve A. H. and
Walter Manning, Clinton,) we desire
to express the regret borne by every
member of this division on account of
his sudden death, and that we have
not had the privilege of showing to
him that attention in his sickness
Which he so much deserved, or that
respect which we would have felt it
our dutyto show his remains after
death. Brother Manning, while only
a short time a member of this division,
has been for many years a member of
the order of the Sons of Temperance,
and one that has held the office of
"Grand Worthy Patriarch, not only in
thlti Province of 9uebec, but subse-
quently in this Province of Ontario,
and occupied that ,office with great
satisfaction to the order. His plat-
form utterances on behalf of the cause
of temperance, not only in connection
with the order, but wherever given,
either in Scott Act contests or in other
public gatherings, have been ever
marked with great power and master-
ly eloquence. His labors were not con-
fined to this continent, but in England
and Wales, before his comingto Cana-
da, his services were extensively en-
gaged and very generally appreciated,
and many younger persons now en-
gaged in the temperance work are so
engaged on account of the efforts of
Brother Manning. He was one of the
commissioners selected by the Govern-
ment of Canada to report upon the
workings of restrictive legislation on
the liquor traffic in the United States,
and his faithful and impartial report
was so convincing of the possibility of
enforcing prohibitory legislation that
the Scott Act was almost unanimously
adopted by the Parliament of Canada.
While his departure from our iniclst is
a loss to ourselves and to the order of
the Sons of Temperance, which he so
cleru.ly loved, Nye know that he has only
been removed by the Great Patriarch
above to that haven of rest where sor-
row is never known and where love
and harmony shall reign forever.
"We desire to extend to Mrs Man-
ning and the other members of the
family our heartfelt sympathy at this
the time of their great sorrow, and
trust that God will sustain thein in
this hour of affliction, and fit and pre -
are them as well as ourselves for our
partnre avRe' Goelsseee_flistasreniove
us to the better world above."

THAT SERMON. -SIR, -Your Kippen
correspondent makes a partial apology,
which is not sufficient from the fact
that he stated previously. that I did
preach against the Methodist doctrine
of Holiness on a certain date, which I
did not on that or any other date. I
am not particular who that member
may be that so unjustly acted as in-
formant, but would advise him to be
truthful at least. I have not preached
on the doctrine of Holiness for a long
time past, therefore the inference
sought to be drawn from the sermon
referred to is very far fetched, and
the whole inatter still is wrong. I
therefore simply ask your correspon-
dent to doas first asked, and as in his
last letter he proposed, make an apo-
logy over his or her own signature.

Expositor: -We like to see the young
men of the county following in the
footsteps of their honored fathers. We
notice by the election returns that two
young men, James Snell, of Hullett,and
Jamas Dallas, of Tuckersmith, have
been electeci to the councils of their re-
spective municipalities, in which their
respected fathers, in former years, held
prominent positions. If they prove as
efficient and faithfnl public servants as
their worthy sires the public will have
no cause to regret their elevation.
