The man who fired the first passenger

'Of Clinton."
Crooked voters' lists, two gerryman-
4ers,
government patronage, "influ-
ence," and Elliotting are some of the
, things the Liberal party has had to
fight against. The wonder is that they
have maintained even what strength
they have, with such odds.
The libidinous scoundrel Prince Mich-

4he sort of trial he should receive.
The Empire threatens that unless the
gerrymander is allowed to pass in its
'present iniquitous form, the bill will
be re-meclelled and made worse thali

Aeltef for Rusota,
We are not aware if the real depth
of suffering is known to our readers
-that at present exists in Many parts of
Russia, where famine and the conse-
quent diseases are committing fearful
ravages.
In our land of plenty we are hardly
fitted to sympathize with those suffer-
ing from hunger.
In case any of our readers shoirld de -
eke to contribute their mite towards
the relief of these starving fellow crea-
tures, we hitve learned that a fund has
been opened by the editor of the Chris-
tian Herald Bible House, New York,
to whom contributions, from 25 cents
and upwards, may be sent, and who
will acx nowledge all such in his paper.
The matey so subscribed is to be ex-
pended in sending flour to Russia.
The first consignment was dispatched
a few days ago, consisting of 210,000
lbs., per steamer Conemaugh.
"I was an hungered and ye gave me meat,"
For convenience the NEW ERA will
receive contributions towards this fund,
and forward them to the Christian
Herald. We may say that one gentle-
man has already handed us $10. The
shiVney, ecrbe of service, should be con-
tributed immediately, and we will
keep it open for one week. Now let
the generosity of Clintonians manifest
itself.
The election to fill the vacancy in
East York, caused by the death of Mr
Mackenzie, resulted as we expected it
would, in the—election of W. F. McLean
Conservative, his majority being 240.
We expressed the opinion before that
McLean would beat any candidate who
was brought out, except possibly Mr
E. Blake. He is a worker, a good plat-
form skeaker, with lots of vim and
earnestness about him, and while we
disagree with his platformand principles
we must say that there are many worse
representatives in the house than Billy
McLean, and purhaps some of them
belong to our side too.
Political Points.
Premier de Boucherville of Quebec an-
nounces that he is about to retire to private
life.
Politically this country is growing better,
and it had virtue enough to frighten the
Government away from its first intention
of laughing the Caron charges out of court.
.—Toronto Telegram, Conservative.
• In every election the old policy is again
cropping up. Not only are Opposition seats
redistributed out of exietence, but when a
Liberal makes a charge against a minister
it is gerrymandered, and then he is called
upon to prove it. This is the latest develop-
ment of Canadian statesmanship.—Toronto
Mail.
If Wilfred Laurier has done anything to
justify an enquiry into his public conduct
let that enquiry be made. The country
has faith in the great French Canadian.
If its faith has been misplaced the whole
nation should know it. Let the charge
be made, and if Wilfred Laurier tries to
shieliihimself by each _wretched quibbling
as SirIVEifTharriiistin used to save Caron
he mast climb off his pedestal.—Toronto
Telegram.
Wilfred Laurier's popularity in Ontario
is proof that a Canadian's worth is not to
be dimmed by his origin or oreed, Cana-
dians who admire and follow their great
fellow -countryman, do not ask at what
altar he kneels, or what is the language of
his kinsfolk. They know that he is a Ca-
nadian; they believe he is honest, and,
therefore in spite of the party's misfor-
tunes, ifilfred Laurier will make the
strongest popular leader the Liberals ever
had.—Toronto Telegram, Conservative,
The Ministry_ hasbecome arrogant; it
has lost its keen regard for public opinion
and has forgotten all about recent profes-
sions. Officials have been pensioned or re-
instated who should have been dismissed
or sent to jail; a Minister has been allowed
to retain his seat in the Cabinet and to
take his place in the Commons whose sole
title to office and emolument is such as a
partizan judge, who had arrogated to him-
self the place of a constituency, can give;
and inquiry into grave charges was first
refused and then granted only because of
the significant warning given by the Oonnty
of Welland, and even then portions of the
charges were struck out of the indictment.
—Toronto News, Consernative.
It will be wisdom for the Opposition to
continue the discussion of the gerrymander,
and every other atrocity, until the country
has had a chance to become impressed with
the enormity of all such contemplated out-
rages. After a majority has approved of
an act for prolonging its own lease of office
the two alternatives of revolution or an
appeal to Britain are still open to the de-
feated Oppoeition. Fighting over political
grievances that do not touch the liberties
or the purse of the individual is out of the
question. An appeal to Cie Imperial
Parliament to amend the constitution
which it has Given this country by the ad-
dition of a cause that will abolish gerry-
mandering is the surest way of saving
Canadians from having to endure or apolo-
gize for these crimes after every census.—
Toronto Telegram, Conservative.
CORRESPONDENCE
A LITTLE OF BOTH.
To the Editor nf the Clinton Nina Era.
SIN —As newspaper men are sup-
posed to know why certain opinions
exist among their fellow men, can you
give the reason for the one that was
freely, expressed by some, on the morn-
ing of the fire, viz that they "would
like to see the whole block go.". Was
it ignorance of the facts, or was it sel-
fishness of those that made the re-
marks. They were losing nothing
themselves, therefore let it all burn
down. Did those parties know that
these buildings were bringing Mr Shep-
herd in a small revenue, and that the
small sum of six hundred dollars insur-
ance would go but a short way to re-
build his large house and premises,
and it would have to be reneived by
brick. The building must be more
profitable to him as a dw'elling" thin

over till next season. This
same word Thanks must also
be used to the buyers of
Window Shades
And not only does it apply
for our appreciation of your
trade, but many people will
express it in the matter of
value and price for which we
have given them our immense

such close prices, nor the
quantity sold so large.
We cannot forget to ask you
