It's a villainous measure, and in some countries would be resisted With a shot gun. The Quebec Government has decided to impose indirect taxes. This is the first step in the right direction, and other Provincial Governments should follow in the same direction. The Toronto Telegram, Independent Conservative, advises the Liberals to carry the gerrymander bill, before the Governor General, and if he does not grant justice, to carry the matter to the Imperial authorities. In a prize fight the other day, one of the brutes broke the other's jaw. If •both had got their necks broken be- yond repair, it would be the greatest cause for rejoicing that had happened for many a day. • A new Lieutenant Governor has been appointed for Ontario. Without ,Any disrespect to the gentleman per- sonally, we believe this province would. , have wobbled along quite well and • been just, as happy if the office had never been filled again. We never for a moment thought the Imperial authorities would grant. Canada preferential duties. The idea was too absurd for serious considera- tion, bot some people did think that it would some time be done; they may as well dispell the notion however, as the declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of the House of Lords gives an official answer of the Mother country to Mr McNeill's resolu- iion adopted by the Canadian House Of Commons a few weeks since. That answer is unequivocally to the effect _t -anoch-proposat for preferential • )e.between,Canada and Great Brit - All be entertained for a moment. puts an end to the dream indulg- n by Mr. Foster in his budget speech s session of a new policy in this irection. How charmingly innocent some men can be was shown in the House the Other day. Mr. Lister, of Larribton, ted that large sums of money pnWtiiiiiiois consTRaencies the bye -elections, such as West South Perth and ethers, on eitiof the government, and public oils of various kinds promised in Order to influence the electors. The dltember for West Huron denied Mr. Lister's statements, and stated that 0 far as he knew no money had been *tent nor had any promises been made. ow the Secretary of State protests too Much -he may not have personally lawn of the expenditure of money', although every one who took an active irt in the election knows that money Was' almost as plentiful as water, "bile the Goderich Star, every week JAE, carrpaign, contained the most rageous assertions concerning blic works, and never once were hey repudiated. .:d'he government has decided that he Edgar charges must be tried by a Ofrimission, and the Liberals, on the ther hand refuse to go before the ifmaanission, alleging that a committee t. tile House, even if composed of tieervatives, is the only proper ethod of disposing of the grave eges.• There is no precedent in itish parliamentary experience for Miring such charges to a commis - c111,, and we do not wonder that the erals are opposed to it.

The annual meeting for the election of officers and teachers of Rattenbury St. Sabbath School, was held on Tues- day, and resulted in the re-election of the same staff as last year, it has been decided to hold the pic- nic of Rattenbury St. Sabbath School at Kippen, on the 5th of July. This is the sam9 place as it Was held last year, and it was so heartily enjoyed that it was thought best to go there again. On Sunday next the Revs J. W. Shilton and J.

PAUL'S CRURCH WOMAN'S MIS- SIONARY AVEILIARY. -A very inter- esting meeting was held in the School Room on Friday evening, May 28th, when Mrs Willoughby Cummings, Secretary of the Toronto W. A. M. A. gave an address describing her visit to the Indian Missions and schools in Algoma and the Northwest. From all the facts mentioned by Mrs Cummings a great work is being done, yet much remains to be done. It is hoped Mrs C's visit to Clinton will increase and deepen the interest in Missionary work of the Church of England. CneNoRs.--The first draft of stations of the Guelph Conference makes the following, among other changes: -H. S. Magee, of Hensall, to go to Everton; Geo. McKinley to Hespeler; W. H. Harvey to Waterloo St.'Stratford; Mr Hincks to Owen Sound; W. A. Strong- man to Granton; Mr Torrance to Vic- toria St. Goderich; W. Smythe to Sea, forth; St., mM. Bielloy and WI C.

S: Fisher; Wes- ley Caros011, Harriston; ;Austin Potter to Clifford. Of course many of these may be changed on the 2nd draft. The other day a town clergyman re- ived an anonymous letter, posted at undalk, to which he made reference the course of his evening sermon, he person who would make state- ents that he is afraid to sign his own sane to, is usually regarded as a sneak nd a coward, and the best way to eat all sucheas_with_silenteontempte- runs-fad& are a dastaid'e weapons, d as it is difficult to defend thern, ey are best ignored. The writer of e letter may have the satisfaction of owing that his effusion is regarded all who know about with feelings mingled disgust and contempt, hile the party to whom it was ad- essed has risen even higher in the miration of his people. The following has interest here be- cause Mr McCosh is so well known in this neighborhooch-Great dissatisfac- tion exists among the Church of Eng- land people at Petrolia at the removal of Rev R.

It is stated that negotiations are already on foot with that object in view. A SPLENDID ORGAN. -Mr. G. F. Oakes, organ dealer, has furnished the parlor of Mr. Wm.

WEST HUBON FARMERS' I NSTI- TUTE.-The Directors' meeting of the West Huron Farmers' Institute will be held at Martyn's Hotel, Goderich, on Saturday, the 4th day of June, 1892, at 2:30p. in., for the .consideration of holding the June meeting in Wing - ham, and other important business. PORESTERS.-A immber of the mem- bers of the Court Prosperity of the Ancient Order of Foresters recently organized in this town, drove to Zur- ich last Sabbath to attend ° Divine worship, and report a good turn out. The service was conducted by Rev. R. Rendetson, of Hensel], he taking for his text the latter part of the 9th verse of the 4th chapter of Genesis: "Ain I my brother's keeper," which was handled in a very able manner, all returning home after sei vice feeling none the worse for their journey, and unable to speak too highly of the kind- ness and hospitality shown them hy the Zurich Brethren. The St. Catharines Standard thus refers to a couple who have scores of friends here: -Friends from all over the Niagara Peninsula called upon Mr and Mrs Wm Pay, at their residence on Prospect Hill, on Thursday, to con- gratulate them upon the occasion of their golden wedding, theyhaving been married fifty years. From 3.30 p.m. until 10 p. m.. the house was full of happy friends and A very pleasant time indeed wa§ spent. Mr and Mrs Pay were the first couple to be married in the old Episcopal church at Port Dal- housie, which was afterward removed to Merriton, and destroyed a few weeks since by fire. Mr and Mrs Pay's fami- ly consists of three sons and one daugh- ter, the youngest son having died. Their names are Wm. H., foreman on the Niagara Clentral Railway; Geo. E., Albert and Mrs T. Taylor. A large number of very valuable gifts testifi- ed in a small way to the great esteem in which they are held.

Mrs David Walden, of Lochalsh, is visiting friends in town this week. M. Homouth, Dr. Fowler and wife left this week for Europe; we wish them a pleasant trip and a safe return. Mr Henderson, of Whitechurch, was in town this week. While on the train from here to his home in St Thomas, 011 Monday, Rev Mr Hunter met an aged man in straightened circum - seances and gave him a ten dollar bill to aid him.

Knox has taken the position of clerk of the Exchange hotel, kept by Mr John Swartz. EVANGELISTIC bERVICES.-The last • week's work of the evangelists, Messrs Crossley and Hunter, here, has, in God's hands, been one of great power and blessing to many, On Wednesday of last week they were over to Brus- sels, and had a grand meeting in the Methodist church there. In the evening they were here in their place in time to commence the meeting Mr Hunter read part of Ephesians 5: speaklng largely from the 14th verse, "Christ the light," men and women were the reflectors. Mr Crossley's sub- ject was "Heaven," his scripture text, St. John 14, 2, "I go to prepare a place for you." The sermon was listened to with close attention, and was certainly very profitable to all present. At four p. ru., a Bible reading was held in the Congregational church, when a ques- tion drawer was opened, and some very interesting questions satisfactor- ily answered by the evangelists and resident ministers. The church was was comfortably filled. On Thursday evening the meeting was one of great power, and many earnestly sought and found that peace which the world can neither give nor yet take away. On Friday evening Mr Hunter read let Cor. 3, and very beautifully explained it, to the satisfaction of all present. Mr Crossley took his text from Isaiah 26, 3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee:" from this he gave an excellent dis- course, and showed very plainly that they who put their ti ust in the Lord would be kept in that peace. Mr Crawford, mail clerk on one of the trains, who some time ago was of -skeptical-beliefe--was--ccmaretteal on Thursday night, and gave his experi- ence of conversion. Sabbath morning Mr Crossley conducted service in the Presbyterian church, and gave a splen- did address on Abraham's wonderful faith in God, in regard to the offering up of his son Isaac. At the same time Mr Hunter occupied the pulpit in the Methodist church and addressed the audience chiefly from Rev. 21, 25; his remarks were so affecting that many shed tears, The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered, when 86 converts joined the church. At 4 p. m. there was a mass meeting in the Presbyterian church, for the children, the body of the church was to be occu- pied by all under 20 years, and the gal- lery by the older people. The place was packed. Short addresses were given by Revs Messrs McQuarrie, Sel- lery, Watson, MeGregor; Messrs Cross- ley and Hunter also addreseed the chil- dren, and gave them excellent lessons, which they will no doubt remember, and bring forth fruits of righteousness. As they bade the children good bye, the audience was very much affected. In the evening at 7 p.m. service was held in the Preebyterian church; at 6.30 the place was crowded, and_ by the time the ministers arrived they had to be helped on the platform, the crowd was so great, and it has been said that all of a thousand .people had to go away. Mr Hunter introduced the resi- dent ministers to the people, each one giving a short address, and expressing their gratitude to God for directing them to invite Revs Messrs Crossley and Hunter to come to town. The evangelists then gave their parting ad- dress, which was very affecting. On Monday morning they were met at the station hy a large crowd, to bid them good bye, which was an evidence of the respect in which they were held hy the people of the town. As the train corrunenced to move they began to sing "Shall we gather at the river," with the chorus "Yes we'll gather at the river." The sound of this beautiful hymn from the vast mord caused hun- dreds to shed tears, and we believe that that parting' will he remembered by many through life. We understand that the evangelists intend to he in Goderich some time riming the sum- mer, and we bespeak for them the hearty co-operation of all the Christian people of that place. During the ser- vices here there were handed to the secretary the names of 391 adults and 127 children, as those desirous of salva- tion, and a large proportion of these found it. present. Onesou.--Union services will, he held in the different churches of the town, every Wednesday evening this month. On Wednesday evening last it was held in the Congregational church, The attendance was large. Rev Mr Mc- Quarrie addressed the audience, his discourse being chiefly founded on the words, "I am not. ashamed of the Gos- pel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth." address was.very plain and practical. 50 cents in advance ail] pay for the CLINTON NEW flRA for the balance of this year Roitt:tiotet. kola UiC.ttigill.y Xrrrank DavideOP, 9th con., gorse, re, portu that he has fall wheat 20 inehesiong petting On bis farm, .

Despite the flood, Kansas expeots to raise 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, and in the central and western sections the rain has proved a benefit rather than a detriment.

He died from the effects of a carbuncle on his neck. Quite a number of provincial lieutenant- goveroorshe,vedied in office sinee confedera- tion. Hon. Joseph Howe was lieutenant - governor of Nova Scotia when he died in 1873. Lieutenant -Governor Crawford, of Ontario, died in 1875, and a year later the Quebeo governorship became vacant by the death of Hon. Rene E. Caron. In 1880 Lieutenant -Governor Chandler, of New Brunswick, died suddenly. Hon. A. W. Mc. Lelan, lieutenant -governor of Nova Scotia, died two years ago, and now another Ontario governor has died in office. The Toronto Telegram, stirred up by the rascality in connection with the East York election, and rebelling against the evils of the Dominion voters' list, remarks; "A revising officer's conrt is not a place merely for putting on those who are entitled to rote. It is a gambling den where the price of an advantage upon the lists goes on the candidate wbo is aided by the most un- scrupulous perjurers and the most expert tricksters." Strong language this, brit ap- parently jubtified by the facts. In the city papers last week appears a letter from Rev. James Thompson, dated Newmarket, May 171h. addressed to the Orangeville diettict meeting, tendering his reeignation on account of divergence of views on vital tenets. The Rev. gentleman appears to entertain the notion that only converted persons in and though the Lord Jesus Christ, will have immortality. That is, without conversion, man is not miaowed with a soul i m mortal, No doubt, entertain- ing such views, V Thompsonni pia outside the Meth. st Church. -Goderieh. • NOTES. -John Emerton and family left townWednesday foriFortWilliam Goderich W. 0.

Some people tell us we are selling Bicycles too cheap Well, we consider that a compliment, and we will tell you why we can sell them cheap, and that is because our trade warrants a large pur. chase, which means for us a cut in the wholesale price.

Why such a reduction?
