C. Patterson, Secretary of State, was entered on Saturday. Sir John Thompson has not yet made good his promise to "punish all wrong- doers, big or little.” It was a long- range promise. • The Empire correspondent thought it of sufficient importance to telegraph phat the Senate had done an hour's work on Tuesday. It was evidently " something very unusual, and the Sena- ters Must have felt exhausted after so much labor. The Globe is to -day as fair, frank and fearless as any one could desire it to be, and Is doing as good sei'arice as it ever did for the Liberals, but in our humble opinion it 'would be improved if its notes and comments" were much shorter in length. • Several Conservative papers which used to indulge in the chestnut that "every Grit was not an annexationist, but every annexationist was a Grit," have overlooked the fact that Sol. White and E. A. Macdonald are stump- ing in favor of annexation, while they remain members of the Conserva- tive party. A circumstance that is somewhat un- usual occurred in the Rossin House, Toronto, onFridagylast. Twelve news- paper men, representing the executive of the Canadian Press Association, were present, when one member pulled out a well-filled cigar case, and offered it to the others, but found thatli-e-was• the only smoker in the room. A. Word For Prestol. Every now and again the Empire breaks out with a epaalu Of "virtuous indiguatiou"sigainst the "terrible wick. edness" of the Liberal organizer, Mr W. T. R. Preston; and it pictures him as one of the mostdepravedoUrnertals. Where Mr Preston ispersonally known a defence of him is not necessary, be- cause his actions vindicate his Integri- ty and honor, but where he is unknown, the Empire's slanders may be regarded as possessing some truth. Mr Preston disremember in gora_si standing of one of the leading churches of the Dominion. He has the ability and fearlessness to appear on any platform, with any pub- lic speakerin the Dominion, -Cabinet minister or private member -and calf discuss clearly all the issues of the day. He has been a most successful aorgan- iser amid the most tremendous odds, and it is this fact that accounts for the opposition to him. His moral character and life are beyond reproach, and it is nothing'more or less than pure unadul- terated cussedness and meaness that causes the Empire to vilify him as it does. The Toronto Telegram, an in- dependent Conservative paper, hits the nail on the head, when it says: - "Pious wrath against the vices of a villain is not throbbing in the Empire's abuse of W. T. R. Preston. Oh, no! What the organ hates is the efficiency of the organizer who helped make a political exile of D. Creighton, late of North Grey. • Preston's sins could soon be forgiven, but hissuccess On one cele- brated occasion is really the one un- pardonable offence of his pareer." The Liberals, with all their reverses, owe a good deal to Mr Preston's ability, whose compenvtion is far below what his services are worth. Parties must, of necessity, have organizers, and no better one, in any respect, can be pro- cured than Mr Preston, whose me- thods and whose morals will stand comparison every day in theweek with those of his opponent in the same sphere -Mr Birrningham. Hcii. Mr Patterson has stated in the House that it is the intention of the Government to introduce l a measure with a view to suspend the operations of the Electoral Franchise Act. If they do not introduce anything worse they will confer a favor that will be appreciated by some of their own sup- porters_asswell as by the entire Liberal party. The Liberals redeemed North Perth and Wellahd at the general election, but we will lose one or both of these seats now. Mr Grievehas been un- seated on a technicality and we•doubt his ability to carry North Perth again. The disqualification of Mr German pens Welland, which there is a bare possibility of the Liberals holding, al- though it is a constituency where the Government has a great chance of using the influence it possesses along the Welland canal. C,olonel Amoyt, who recently left the Liberals and went over to the Conser- vatives, has evidently got '"out of the frying pan into the fire." His recep- tion by the Conservatives has been anything but enthusiastic, some of the papers on that side intimating that they would prefer his room to his com- pany. On the other hand Liberals,who supported him because he supported Mr Lanrier's policy, now call upon him to resign, on the ground that he does not represent the views of the con- stituency that elected him. All the Cotton mills its Canada have been brought under the control of one syndicate, which will be able to dictate to the people of Canada how much they shall pay per yard for cotton goods of every sort.. The deal was completed on Saturday. The head- quarters of the hew syndicate is in Montreal, and Messrs A. F. Gault and David Morrice are to manage the busi- ness. That "home competition" in the cotton business which was going to keep prices down and prevent the con- sumers from being charged excessive prices is of no avail. All competition in the business of manufacturing cot- ton in Canada has been destroyed. • Mr Clarke Wallace's bill to restrict trade combinations appears' to be a dead letter, and • it wit§ ;raver intended for anything else. Corroboration. Another evidence of the truth of the statement that great minds run in the same channel is furnished by the speech of Mr James Lister, at Hamil- ton, last Friday evening. Last week we had an article showing that Liber- als were fighting for principles, and were' not as anxious for office as they were represented to be. The same evening, Mr Lister in his speech uses these words, which are almost identical with our own :•-$ "What we fight for is _not office. Office is only one of the hiridents of success. We want not -the spoils; we fight for principles." More Boodling Charges. Church WOO!, Revs ewart and J. W, Shilten oXcinttlged pulpits on Sunday rooming WA; they have arranged for three ex- changes.

An- niversary services in connection with Rattenbury streetMethodist church. Rev Wrn, Oraig addressed the Young People's Association of Willis church, last Tuesday evening, his subject being "Esther," and he was much appreciated. Rev A. Stewart, who is a member of the Board of Knox College, Toronto, was this week down attending the closing of that institution for this term. Mrs Thoe. Fair, of Clinton, and Mrs Fletcher, of Thames Road, were in Goderich last (Thursday) night, organ- izing a Young Women's Mission Band in connection with Knox church. It began to look as if the chages of boodling made by the Liberals during the by-electiones were going to be allow- ed to drop, but this, it seems, is not the case, as Mr Jas. Edgar made a inotion in the House on Tuesday, of which the following specific statement is an ex- tract :- "That the said sums of nroney here- inbefore mentioned as paid and contri- buted for election purposes were so used, together with other sums contri- buted_by public__contractors with the Dominion Government, and were con- trolled and distributed by , the direct authority and with the knowledge of Sir A. P Caron in lavish and illegal amounts for the purpose of corruptly influencing the electors, and in the general election of 1887 alone upwards of $100,000 of moneys so contributed were so used for the purpose of,corrupt- ly influencing the electors in the fol- lowing electoral districts,that is to say, the Counties of St. Maurice, Cham- plain, Levis, Montmorenci, Charlevoix, Kamouraska,Temiscouata, L'Islet Dor- chester, Berthier, Portneuf, Quebec, Gaspe, Rinsouski, Montmogny, Belle- cha,sse, Beauce and Megantic, and in Quebec West, Quebec Centre, Quebec East and Three Rivers. Sir Adolphe Caron denies the charges and Sir John Thompson states that the proper place to try the charges is in the courts. A debate on the charges is still in progress, but the action of the Govern- ment looks like an effort to burk in- vestigation. Mr Edgar affirms his ability to prove every charge, if given an opportunity, and he would certain- ly be unwise to make them unless he could prove them. Hon. Mr. Hardy denies that there is any truth whatever in the rumor that Mr Mowat intended to resign. No one ever thought there was The Nairn and Beechwood congrega- tions have extended a nearly unani- mous call to the Rev. Jos. Elliott, who has been occupying the pupits there for some weeks past. ["Joe" is well known here, where he attended school, and has relatives residing at Bayfield. He is a clever young man, and will make an acceptable preacher for any congregation.) We understand that Rev Mr McKin- non, who has preached here on several occasions, has consented to assume the pastorate of the Clinton Baptist church, and will move his family here. He will take charge and hold two services on the 17th inst., supplying the base line as usual. A Mr Grigg will officiate on Sunday r ext. Political Points. ga-Pretnier Monger on Friday opened a law office in Monteeal, and will hereafter devote himself to the praetice of hie pro- . feseion. The Legislature has now been in session fifty-two days, and Mr Meredith has not yet moved that the Assembly be purged of the 040 annexationist within its walls. - Toronto News, Coneervative. The Young Liberal Conservative Asso- ciation of Toroeto has resolved to recom- mend Mr G. T. Blackstook, Q. 0., to the Conservative convention as a candidate for the' vireant eeat for Toronto in the Log- ielature. In the North Perth Election case, Camp- bell vs. Grieve, before the Supreme Court, on Monday, the ohief justice held that there had been corrupt practicee, and the election is deolared void, unseating Mr Grieve. A Kinageton eveniog paw sayer L -It 15 the seat, now held by 'Wilson (Con) being opened up that the Hon. Edward Blake will be asked to contest the riding in the inter- est of the Liberale. • A protest was filed on Monday against the return of W. H. Bennett (Con.)for East Sirocoe for corrupt practices. Charges are also made of tampering with ballots and other frauds by deputy officers. The seat is claimed by Dr Spohn. So long as Government candidates and Government newspapers openly offer rail- • way bonuses as a return for votes, Con- servatives should refrain from srsering references to the number of Liberals un- seated by the oourts. Corruption has un- fortunately prevailed to a very consider- able extent recent elections. Both parties have resorted to it, the principal apparent difference in the methods being that one spent its own money and the other drew on the public treasury.- Tor- onto News, Conservative. The Toronto Telegram (Independent Conservative) asserts that the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature has "no princi- ples," and concludes that at the last general election "it was running a campaign on falee' pretenses. Principal Caven who refused to turn upon Mowit because he believed W. R. Meredith to be an insincere politioian, has been vindicated." The same paper adds: "Belong as the Conservatives in the Legislature use prinoiple as a campaign cry and epend their time grubbing for small abuses, so long they will fail because they do not deserve to win." True enough. loderic h. LEFT A LONG TIME. -It is reported that a horse attached to a buggy was recently lett standing in Goderich cemetery for three days and three nights, tied to a tree. The horse was a hired one and the party hiring it gave it to another party to take back, but through a misunderstanding it was brought back to the cemetery. It had pawed a hole in the earth :nearly big enough to bury itself. The caretaker of the cemetery had seen the horse; but supposing, naturally enough, that some one was in fixing up a grave. gave no special attention to it. Be- yond being very hungry the horse suffered nothing by its exposure. NOTES. -Mr Geo. Acheson, one of the most popular residents of the town, is about to remove to Uxbridge; he will be much missed in church business and social circles. It is reported that Mr Aikenhead is also about to remove. Con- cerning an entertainment given by the Royal Tenaplars, on Tuesday,the Signal says: -The entertain mentwas a success in every respect. The hall wa,s literally packed, the audience was appreciative, the program was varied, and the dif- ferent, parts were well rendered. An address by Robt. Holmes, of Clinton, was an interesting feature of the enter- tainment, Mr Holmes handled his sub- jeet-the temperance question -in a very creditable manner,and his remarks received close attention • from the audi- ence. . We are sorry to see that, in order to shorten the session, Mr Hardy has an- nounced that the government will for the present drop the proposed bill to reduce county oouncils. It should have been passed and is much more important than some of the legislation that will find a place in the statute book. rumore in Lennox, that in the event of McKillop. - WEDDINGS. -A quiet little wedding took place on Wednesday afternoon of last week, at the hose of the bride, when Mrs Christina, McKee was united in wedlock to Mr Findlay McIntosh, one of the rising young men of our township. On Wednesday of this week a very happy event took place at the house of Mr Win Alexander, 9th con, in the marriage of Mr Geo Brown, O prosperous young farmer, and Miss Jean Cannon, one of our township's fairest young ladies. RIVALRY. -A spirit of rivalry ,seems to be dominant in onr midst at present, 08 mani estedin-theslaot-thateconteSts are being engaged in in almost all the organizations in our township. The Patrons of Industry, Royal Templars, and even the school children are choos- ing sides and engaging in contests for such stakes as taffy -pulls, strawberry festivals, etc. NOTES. -It seems to be the misfor- tune of several farmers to lose some of their most valuable horses; among the number are Messrs Jas. Wiltse, J. Eg- bert, R. Gray and others. Mr James Lawrence, 5th con., is having the ma- terial laid down for the erection of a large barn, during the summer. Mr F. McIntosh, 12th con., he preparing to build a new house during the summer season. Mr Wm. Glass, 14th con., has been severely afflicted with sciatica for some time, but now appears to be im- proving. Farmers are now busy pre- paring the soil for their spring crops, and seem quite anXibus to get their seed sown. There is scarcely an occupant of the back benches on the Government side of House who is not at least the peer of the Dewdney intellectually. There is not one of them who has not done more for the advanoment of the cause of the party than he. Why, then, does Mr Abbott retain such useless timber in his Cabinet? Sure- ly the present Premier is not subject to the social influences which were strong enough to keep the Minister of the Interior in place when Sir John Macdonald was head of the Government? It is a scandal that a minister should be retained in Office who is so incompetent that it has been found necessary to reinstate subordinates, who had been suspended for the most glaring misconduct, in order to prevent his whole department from going to pieces. -Toronto News.

Literature is distributed amonget the sailors. In regard to unfermented wine, reports received from Godericb, Seaforth and Clinton. They report eight churches as using unfermented wine and three which do not. Very few leaflete distributed. In the department of County fairs the following reports are made: Clinton - Distributed literature; no liquor on tbe grounds.

Seaforth-Sold ladies' and ohildrens aprons, distributed literature. Regarding temperance instruction in the schools ib is reported that "most of the schoolain this county and county town are receiving temperance instruotion. No prizes offered. The County President is watching this department. In the flower mission department Clin- ton reports as follows: "Since we com- menced our Flower Mission we have came in contact with so many cases of suffering and poverty of which we should not other- wise have heard. We have been greatly encouraged by notes, letters and expres- sions of thanks from those receiving bouquets. When the flowers are done we still visit our sick, leaving texts,tracts, etc., and wherever practicable reading and praying with the ones visited." In the juvenile department Goderich reports one band, membership not stated; Clinton, 163 ohildren, 50 new signatures; Seaforth, 112 children. A bare majority of the Supreme Court on Monday voided the North Perth election, not because of the issue of tree railway tickets, but because an agent of Mr Grieve lent $2 to an elector. Judge Strong and Judge Patterson held that this charge was not proved. The Liberals have had a run of bad luck in the courts. In the Maritime Provinces, where most of their protests were made, the cases, through technicalities or blunder on the part of lawyers, failed to get to trial, and a detrisot thesiegal -pseS cards gave Mr Baird the seat which of right belonged to Mr King. The Tories are chuckline over the "corruption" which unseated' Liberal members in Ontario. The fact is that all the money shown to have been used in these cases was bagatelle compared with the Lribes openly offered by the Government candidates in any one constituency. Taketheoaseof Northumber- land, where the Liberal member was un, seated because one of his agentshired a hook, and where a bribe in the shape of a subsidy of hundreds of thousands of dollars was openly offered tothe electors by Mr Guillet's friends. -Globe. It is stated the House will soon lose tlugh John Meador:add. - The son of hie father - has never had an affection for the life of a politioian. He contested Winnipeg when the constituency was in imminent danger of falling into the hands of the Philistines, and, it may be said, was greatly surprised when he was returned. But his is the mind judicial as distinguished from the mind political. Now he has signified to the party managers that he is desirous of returning to the more congenial legal life when they can secure a man to fill his place. It is certain that if Mr Macdonald should desire to follow the life of the politician, that he would in the not distant future be- come a many of importance. It will not be divulging an embarrassing secret to state that the member for Winnipeg•has been generally regarded as a very ordinary sort of person. The statements of the ruthless campaign orator have for once been accepd although in tisis case they are as wanting In truth as stfch arguments usually are. In truth Hugh John Macdonald is as promis- ing a member of the bar as any young bar- rister in the North-west. This is the belief of men who ehould know. But he is not rich, and there is more money for him in law then in politics. The exigencies of party have no charms for him, and hie parliamentary cause is almost run.-Otta wa cor. Toronto Telegram.

Sparks intends to move to the north- west at an early date. A number of the west enders are making bold at- tempts to ascertain who is contributing so much to the NEW BRA, and are ex- posing their ignorance by their con- duct to disinterested people.

For The Country's Sake Be Just. Premier Abbott and Sir John Thompson are estranging Liberals old and young who could be driven to the support of the Government by hatred of their own party's commercial policy. There were hundreds, yes thousands, of Liberals whose votes were pledged to Abbott and Thompeon, by admira- tion for the struggle they were appar- ently making last session against the worst elements in their own party. A Government that has a policy, and that is trying to make a good record could confidently rely upon the support of the country. It through its a ents respects few of the rights whichare common to citizens of all parties. It makes its own constituencies. The re- vising barristers do its work. Its em- ployes in the Government Printing Bureau "blunder" the names of Grits off the list, and finally when all these, agencies fail, it accepts as a gift from a county judge a seat which a free con- -stitarency has given to -its -opponent. These words are written in no spirit of unfriendliness to the Government. It is well that Premier Abbott and Sir John Thompson should understand that the frauds at which they wink are serving the purposes of the annexa- tionists, Practices viler than any tol- erated on the other side- of the line are disgracing Canadian politics. Inter- ference with the right to a free and fair election long continued can make the boasted superiority of our institutions all in the music of the orator's voice. The Government that governs for the nation, not for the faCtion, win have more abiding strength than the parti- sanshipsif revising officers, trickery in the printing of the lists, and Outrages like that in London can give to the ministryof a faction. -Toronto Tele- gram, Conservative. The Government Proposes paying the clerks who were suspended for irregularities committed by them for the time during which they were suspended just as if they had work& They were punished by being given a long holiday, for which they are to receive hill pay. How these dishonest clerks must ridioule the more scrupulous ones who were not guilty of irregularities and who were compelled to work for their pay while The delinquents enjoyed a holiday. The Opposition do not hesitate to charge the Government with paying the guilty clerks because they held their tongues with regard to things which they threatened to reveal in self-defence. It is, indeed, very difficult to frame any other theory that would account for the facts, which are these: A government arraigned for cor- ruption so manages the enquiry that only the irregularities of subordinates are en- quired into. A number of these subordi- nates are dismissed and the Government appeals to a gullible country with the de- claration that no guilty man has been spared. A number of the Conservative candidates now acknowledge that they themselves were fooledlby theseihypocritioal protestations. The ohief point in favor of Ministers was that men so made scape- goats of would be certain to expose, if they could, therm who were treating them so unfairly. It seems, however, to have been all tuiderriteed, and now that the electors are gained they arq to be treated better than . the &xi men agtnsb ,Whom nothing Was alleged..-MOntrett Witbasi, How ick.
