Iie Lil3erals scored two victories on Ay last, neither of which'were ex- eptOrwhen they secured l,he election *Bigelow for the vacancy in the PAW Legislature caused by the death Clarke, of Toronto, by over '41.E a majority, and the election of rioWell, in Welland, for the Domin- . on; House, by a majority of over 800. Toronto has always been regarded as cinservative city, but it is quite eyi- 00, that the Conservative' nominee ,was not an exceedingly popular candi- , ate, as both the independent Conser- *TO papers opposed him, and many nservatives refrained from voting, e on the other hand the Liberal ()mime was a strong candidate. he Liberals contested the election nrely on the merits of the Mowat ad- Tohlistration, laying particular stress on its purity and unimpeachable re - The result of the election was a hard , blow to the Empire. It had been rav- nbdut "the iniquities of Mr Mo - ,at" and stated that the people of orento were in the best„position to. nage of these iniquities, &c., &c., but , lc result, on the same line of argu- . ent. is one of the strongest endorsa- iOns the Mowat government ever re- ceived, so that its iniquities, viewed by those best able to judge, do not *Cm to be very great. In Welland the Liberals had not iOnly the usual arguments to contend against, but they had aJso the tre- mendous Welland Canal patronage to *wet, and those familiar with this, mow that it is a very impoz tant fact or a,n election. he New Re -distribution Bill Sir John Tompson has introduced t6 t ii13419jise his bill Pioviding for a ellistribution of the seats. . It creates • :My additional .rePielentatives in centres of population, such as Toronto and Montreal and makes some decided - Ay radical changes elsewhere. He has • T'emodelled Lincoln, Welland, Monck and Haldimand, with the view of mak- ing one Reorin constituency with a 'itaajority Of several hundreds, and three Venservative constituencies with mo- derate but safe majorities. He has 4,4ded a Conservative village from -‘,4East Middlesex to London city, while • eaving in South Middlesex portions .'nf the city of Loudon which contain Reform majorities, the object being to et four Conservatives and one Re- • timer from London and Middlesex, which together contain 500 more Re- formers than Conservatives. Eastern Oxitario is only touched by swapping atownship here and there, so • as to • ett an additional Conservative. New ,)nembers are given to Manitoba, to 41'...A.Igoma and Toronto, and the Mari - Anne Pcovinces lose four. In Quebec, , 4 -the greatest changes are made, several .• liberal constitutions being wiped out to give additional members to Mont- '. real and Hochelaga. There was need some changes in that Province, be- 1:7;evause population has been falling off in the rural portions and increasing in city of Montreal and its suburbs. COntrary to general expectation :.• Huron is not altered at all. The most. COwardly change in the whole Doinin- iOn is in the city of London, more 'especially in view of the existing' state of affairs. - While the law provides for a re- O.:distribution of seats, it is very much ,.J.o be regretted, not from a party (Standpoint only, but 'from a point of 133incip1e, that a fair and impartial Change is not made, without any 'Special attempt to "hive the Grits.' Even so staunch a Conservat ive paper at the Hamilton Spectaror takes this view, affirming the very correct senti- Ment that "it is better to be right than gain a party advantage." There has been altogether too much crooked- ness in political affairs. and it, is high time that the country got back to an honorable starting point. The Min- istry had a chance to show its honor in the preparation of this hill, hut it lost it. If the Liberals are to he deprived of their rights and compelled to fight every sort of disreputable and dishon- orable political warfare, then the qylirker they resent it the better, and they are' justified in doing it by force necessary. • The bill, with all its unfairness, will 'kely' become law, Simply because the ettittient has a Majority that Will ntt b.,anythlit but. the otee. nit " amendsmilliewa, CLINTON NEW ,ERA.

Joseph Toland, ex -warden of Frontenac omnty, died suddenly of heart disease at Storrington. Alexander Stewart, a farmer living near Beamsville, died on Monday from the ef- fects of a kick by a horse. The trial of Deemieg, tho wife.murcler- er, has been concluded at Melbourne, a verdict of guilty being returned by the jury. The death is announced at Kobe, Japan, of Rev. J. W. Lambuth, D. D., one of the oldest missionaries of the Methodist Church. Mrs Alex. Gibson, of Beamsville, sister- in-law of Mr W. Gibson, M. P.. died sud- denly on Tuesday. She had been married only six days.

Tho American government, by tt large majority, has passed the free binder twine bill. On the other hand, the Canadian government, by a large majority, has decided that the Cana- dian farmer must pay combine prices for twine. With all respect to the Liberal etdi- date for East York, we are afraid he. will get left, as McLean, of the World, the Conservative nominee, is a hustler, and has some common sense, though precious little principle. It is said that the new seat in Toronto for the Dominion, will be contested by L, P. Kiibbt.-1, of the Empire. Unlike his confrere of the World, Kribbs has neither sense or principle, and illus- trates one of the most striking cases of "big head" to be found in thepo- litical or newspaper field. Additional Local Haws. GROWTH. -- The delightful warm rains, accompanied by the mild weath er following, has had a big improve• ment not only on fall wheat, but o spring grains as well. A few days wil decide how much of the fall wheat ha been killed by the cold. HURON CENTRAL. -The directors of the Huron Central Fair met in the Council chamber, on Wednesday. In the transaction of general business, it was decided to hold the fair on Thurs- day and Friday-, the 22nd and 23rd of Sept. next, and to make it the very best that has been held. PROGRESSING. -The Globe says: -- Mr Hector W. Charlesworth, who for sorre time had been managing editor of Toronto Saturday Night, has re- signed his position on that paper and taken another on The World. Mr Jos. T. Clarke, lately of The World, has succeeded Mr Charlesworth in the edi- torial chair of Saturday Night. Mr Clarke has already made himself well known by his contributions to Satur- day Night over the pseudonym"Mack." He has for some time past edited the Pickering News with good judgment and ability. [Mr Clarke is well known in Clinton, being a brother-in-law to Mr Joseph Chidley, jr.] VISIT FROM MR SEATIL -On Thurs- day and Friday of last week Mr J. Seath, High School Inspector, visited and inspected the Collegiate Institute here. Mr Seath does not usually say very much on visiting a school, and those to whom he says least consider themselves most fortunate, as he is generally on the look -out for weak spots. He has apparently no particu- lar fault to find with the time table, or other internal arrangements. The inspection of the school work was necessarily brief, but it may be men- tioned that Mr. Seath seemed especial- ly pleased with the attainments of Mr. It -Coats -in classics. The--eonditiewo the inside of the blinding might, the inspector thinks, be more inviting, the library shouldl he enlarged, and the gymnasium should be put in condition to be of use in the winter season. SARA LORD BAILEY. -Tho Mechan- ics' Institute has arranged with this popular elocutionist to give an enter- tainment next Thursday evening. The following notices testify to her ability: The Toronto Telegram says -Mrs Bailey's read- ings displayed that lady's talent as a versatile elocutionist to advantage. Tne audience was delighted with her. The Toronto World saya-Mrs Sara Lord -Bailey, of Boston, is a finished elocutionist, and her ren- dering of "Life for a Life," perhape has never been equalled in Toronto. This lady possesses a voice of wonderful flexibility, and has become a favorite with Toronto audiences. The Georgetown Herald says -"Best ever held in town," is what the Oddfellowl claim of their concert on New Year's night. Sara Lord Bailey, the B3ston elocutionist, seemed to catch the sympathy of the audience the moment she step- ped on the stage. She M certainly one of the continent's leading e.ocutionists, and the audi- mice on Friday seemed to fully appreciate the literary treat the I 0 0 F provided. The Orillia Timm says -Sara Lord Bailey is undoubtedly the finest elocutionist and reader that has yet been hoard in Orillia. DEATHS. -Mrs Foster, who has been ailing for a short time, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr Joseph Copp, on Tuesday afternoon, at the ripe age of 76 years. Deceased had been a resident of town for a consider- able time, and was a person of sterling qualities and character. He husband, the late Richard Foster, died about three years ago. She was the mother of nine children, two of which are dead; her five sons are all well-known residents of town, and in addition are two daughters, Mrs Copp and Mrs Da,yrnent. She was a member of St. Paul's church. Mrs. F. Newton, who was an esteemed resident of Clinton for years, (aunt of Mr Geo. A. Newton, Londesboro) but who has resided for some time on the other side, died on Sunday last at Sioux City, Iowa; her remains will be interred to -day, Friday, at 2.30 p.m., from the residence of Mr J. C. Stevenson. NOT CHURCH GOERS. -A Cliraonian, residing in a town in California, the same size as Clinton, inakes the follow- ing remarks concerning church work there, in a private letter to the editor, that is not very encouraging to say the least: - "You have two Methodist churches, so have we; but, judging from your church chimes, either one of your societies must he stronger and doing more and better work than both of ours together. This country is not the most favorable soil in the world for re] gi oils interest. Many preachers who come to us froni the east are as- onished that the same character and amount of work here does not produce anything like the fruits they have been accustomed to. Take this as an illus- tration: We have something more than 2,500 people in this town; it is the county seat; six denominations have regular services twice every Sunday, our preachers are a good average in ability, and yet I doubt very much whether two hundred of our people are inside the churches on Sunday. There are not more than two hundred church -going people in the community, and not that many members of all churcheS together. ,Vni have rto,spch state of things.

The primary junior leaving and pass matriculation exami- nations,which will be held at Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth, will commence on Monday, July llth; and the senior leaving and honor matriculation ex- aminations, at the same places, will commence on Wednesday, July 20th. The New Gerrymander. WHAT SOME PAPERS SAY OF IT "It is deeply tobe regretted that Sir John Thompson's common sense and judicial acumen did not decide to stop once for all •the-disgracefal-gerrymandering- of -which all parties have been guilty." -Ottawa Journal, Conservative. The gerrymander of 1882 was unjust enough to satisfy sny ordinary scoundrel. • It elects two Conservatives to one Reformer in a Province in which the Conservatives are in a minority. But Sir John Thomp- son seems determined to undo his prede- decessors in infamy.. We venture to pre- dict that the bill introduced by, Sir Jahn Thompson will not be allowed to become law --Toronto Globe. Our friends, our governors had dissemin- ated a_ report thatthe Redistribution meas- ure would be simple and short. It is com plete and long. It is a gerrymander, if ever there was one. Old Parliamentary hands, who are competent to look upon matters with an unprejudiced eye, say that this is the worst gerrymander ever known in the history of Canada. This is an unprejudiced opinion." -Toronto Tele- gram, Conservative. Keep in mind the foot that the Grit lead- ers would scream gerrymander no matter what kind of redistribution bill was brought down; remember that they are given to screaming such hard words as scandal and outrage on the flimsiest provocation; reflect that it is an exceedingly difficult thing to apportion representation, and we venture to assert that the new measure is the most equitable arrangement; with the least dis- turbance of the constituencies, that could possibly have been devised. -The Empire. We would like to see some honest Con- servative step forward and say that the present gerrymander is right. No one any longer values the opinion of such political rascals as Sir John Thompson, who holds his position by , defending wrong and arguing that black is white. There is no political scoundrelism which he will not defend. But wbere is the honest or pa- triotic man who wil I defend the gerrymander? What have the churches of the country got to say of such a measure?. Woodstock Sentinel. We regret that ministers have not seen their way to the adoption of a radical change in the apportionment of represent- atives. There is but one absolutely just and fair way of managing this business, and when justice is attainable, anything short of it is unpardonable. We belies. an equitable division of the country into districts as nearly equal as possible would not lose a single Conservative seat. And it is better to be right than to gain a party advantage, even if party advantage were The new StandardiSewIng Machine gained by the periodical rearrangement of the constituencies. - Hamilton Spectator, Conservative. An examination of the map of Quebco province shows that the gerrymander of that province is of a more infamous 'character than was at first sight supposed. The new constituency of Chambly is to be made up of three sections of conntry wholly discon- nected from each other. The ivb ole proceed- ing is such as should not be tolerated for a day in any constitutionally governed coun- try. No pretense of equalizing the popula- tion is made. The Abbott -Caron clique hat e resolved upon governing the country by revolutionary and corrupt methods. They propose to cut and carve the constituencies in such a way that a minority Of electore may be able to elect a majority of parlia- mentary representatives; and thus by leg. islation to tie the hands of the people in order that they may be robbed. The representation of the agricultural districts is to be reduced in order that the cities, in which the combines exercise f I sway, NapeSition *odd bc gnitejnatiti ' reeist- Owl: I* able elect mors meta .:,itutiTohen Chatham, and received what may prove -fatal injuries. The rain rnalLis have been trying their hands again in Texas, but without result, and the people are beginning to think the scheme is a humbug. Toronto is no longer Conservative in the sense that it can he tied to the chariot wheels of every ward politician's desire. - Toronto Telegram, Conservative. At an enthusiastic convention of East York Reformers, Ald. J. Knox Leslie was unanimously accepted as the nominee of the party for the impending election. Hon. John Haggart, malodorous though he is, will have the sympathy of everybody in his present sad affliction. It is feared that he may perm3,nently lose his eyesight. Grace Methodist Church, Winnipeg, has extended a call to Rev G. R. Turk, of Owen Sound, to succeed Rev Jas Allen, who goes to Centenary Church, Hamilton, in June. Mr W. Buckingham, formerly private secretary to the late Hon. Alexander Mac- Kenzie, and Hon. G. W. Ross, Minister Df Education, are engaged in the prepara- tion of a biography of the deceased ex - Premier, which will shortly be placed be- fore the public. Mr Woodall, of Liverpool, reviewing the Canadian apple trade for the season just closing, says the shipments were the larg- est on record, the receipts at Liverpool alone reaching nearly 1,000,000 barrels, including American. During almost the entire period prices were much higher than in previous years. Rev. Peter Currie, a retired Presbyterian clergyman, died Thursday evening in Strathroy, where he had resided for nearly ten years, having formerly lived in Tees - water, where his remains will be buried, Deceased was about 75 years of age and favorabley known throughout Western Ontario. • A Quebec paper states that the Catholic bishop of Rimouski has order- ed two churches in his diocese to be closed,owing to the exodus to the Unit- ed States of the people who formerly worshipped in them. And yet we are told that the trade restriction policy is keeping Canadians in their own coun- try. The steamer Passadena caught Watch- man Geo. F. Ford against the dock at the Sault Ste. Marie canal last Saturday even- ing and literally crushed him in two. The under part (*the body dropped into the canal and has not been reoovered. The ripper part of the body with his heart fell over on the dock. The Passadena was entering the head of the canal, bound down, when Ford started to climb down the keel rope to take the line. He got to far, bnt did not notice it until the steamer was too close to the dock to raise himself and the dock was too high to reach. The next in- stant the steamer had lined him against the dock timbers. Ford's parents reside near Courtright, Ont. He had been a school teacher at Sombre, near Sarnia, and this was his first and last trip. MARRIED. GOODFELLOW - MoDONALD. - In Detroit, on the 25th April, by the Rev C. Woods, Mr W. H.
