It was no small honor for the Province of Ontario to carry off the banner for the largest number of new societies formed during the year, there having been an addition of over 300 societies, making nearly one thousand of these in existence in Ontario. THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS. Echoes of the Campaigu. The latest returns show the election of 534 members of the new House of Com - mono, divided as follows :- Conservatives 233 Liberal -Unionists 35 — 268 Liberals • 217 Anti-Parnellites • 42 Parnellites 7 -- 266 Total members eleoted 534 To be elected 136 . The present net Liberal in is 49. As 34 of a gain wiped out Ithe Government majority the Liberals nfflutve a majority of 30 in the new House. Lord Stanley of Preston's son, a Con- sarvative, obtained 1,840 majority over the Liberal candidate in Southwest Lancashire. Lord Salisbury has gone to Windsor Castle to explain to the Queen the political situation. The Liberals are beginning to clamor for the Ministry to resign before the meeting of Parliament. The London Daily News saya: "Reports from various contested seats ahow that the Liberal candidates have not had adversaries of home rule alone to contend with. They have had to fight the parson, the publican And the privileged classes." The result of the election in the south- east division of Durham caused the Liberals great joy. Here the Liberal -Unionist ma- jority of 1886, amounting to 939 votes, was wiped out, and the candidate of that party was snowed under by a majority of 4,070, a gain of 5,006 Mr Walter Hume -Long, Parliamentary Secretary of the Local Government Board, stood in the Conservative interest ir the Devizes division of Wiltshire, and was de- feated. The Liberal candidate who stood against him overcame a majority of 1,726, and was returned by a majority of 138, a gain of 1,864. Vanity Fair says the Queen is much vexed at the defeat of the Marquis of Lorne, Who at'ocul'ate taberal-Unionist-in-central- division, in Brantford, where he was defeat- ed by G. Shaw-Lefehre, the Liberal can- didate by over 300. Her majesty, the paper says, was greatly opposed to his standing for election and wished hina to take his seat in the House of Lords, to which he is entitled. Henry M. Stanley still has faith in his African record as a means of firing the English heart, and seems to be not at all daunted by his defeat in the Parliamentary oontest in North Lambeth. He wants to try another division, and has applied to the Tory and Unionist whips for permission to contest Sheffield. He has been informed that Sheffield has already been arranged for and has reoeived a hint that his ill - success in Lambeth does not inspire the party managers with much confidence in hiepopnlant-ffitlitheiToters. But S ear-irey has given notice of his intention to contest the first suitable vacanoy that offers itself. The most remarkable feature in the Brit- ish elections so far is the phenomenal gain of seats by the Liberals in London. At the dissolution 47 seats were held by sup- porters of Lord Salisbury, and 13 by fol- lowers of Gladstone. The Liberals have gained fourteen of the seats held by Con- servatives :in the last Parliament. To match this the Conservatives have captured only one seat held by theLiherals-that of West St. Pancras -and in al moFt every con- stituency held by theni , the Conservative in - jori ties b ave been reduced. Thuathere are 26 Liberal and Al Conservatives members in London where, ten days ago, there were 13 Liberals and 47 Conservatives. A.n exciting scene occurred at a Liberal meeting held in the Forest of Dean Division of Gloucester, where Sir Charles Dilke is standing as the Liberal candidate against Col. Chester Wemys. A resoluton was of. fered declaring against lair Charles Dilke and adding that the electors of the district desired only a man of high moral character to represent them in Parliament. The wife of Sir Charles was on the platform when the resolution was put and she wept bitterly. There was great excitement dur- ing the voting, which was heightened when it was declared that the resolution was carried. Friends of Sir Charles demanded that a recount be made, and this was done, and only to confirm the previous result. The Queen and Mr Gladstone hare never had other than frigid official relations. The Queen only received him when business dictatedfor theinformation of the Ministry. Mr Gladstone will find the open;ng trouble with the Queen if he offers a post to Mr Labouchere; yet the Radicals hold that Mr Gladstone has pledged a place to Mr La- bouchere, whose persistent attacks upon royalty. apart from certain details of per- eonal history, have made him obnoxious to the Queen. If Mr Labouchere does not get an office he will be a thorn in the side of the Liberal Ministry, and nothing is more certain than that the Queen will refuse to receive him as a Minister. Jnatin McCarthy, who was beaten by a small majority at Londonderry the other day, will be the anti-Parnellite candidate in North Longford. Tim Healy was to have been the candidate, but he was elected in Cork, and the seat will now be contested by Mr McCarthy. Mr Blake and Mr Healy have both invaded the North riding to speak for McCarthy. Mr Blake got a tremendous reception when he appeared on the platform. He still wears his famous soft felt hat, and as a “CLS" is theristifil head-gearof the candidate there, Mr tlake is Wherevet Wei iininedistelysingled Mit Rs the "mat, frora (Qontributed,) After.perambulating the bleak and Winci,swept sandy wast s of Wallula and talking with its restless, sore -eyed population for three or four days, waiting for S., .110010 mei and we bought. tickets MK Niik 016 troii for Arlington, the nearest to our destination, ' Here seems to be a good place to in- terject a very brief general desei iption of E,,,,,aern Washington and Oregon. This is an Oeststed Wale laud or plat- eau about MO miles in ditianOtOrr.Ving egkEit altla SPit_th of the Oafioatle moun- tains. The Columbia tIver lies cut a channel through the ).,ateau from two to three thousand fee. deep, forming in places a steep gorg,., or canyon from one half a mite to two or three miles wide, and again spreading out to twenty or thirty miles. From Umatil- la to thirty or forty miles north of Wallula, the river flats extend to a broad plain, except iminediately at Wallula where the Sugar Loaf Hills border it on the east, and the bluffs lie a mile or two distant from the river on the west. The plateau con- sists of an elevated prairie, the soil of which is a black loam mixed with sand, generally underlaid with a form- ation of lava a few feet beneath the surface. The ground is at the present time almost destitute of vegetation, scattered stunted sage brush is about the only thing visible, and in the spring a little fine wiry grass they call sheep grass. The surface is diversified here and there with deep vertical cuts or fissures in the ground extending down hundreds of feet through the rocks, marking the channels ot watercourses when there is any water to flow in them, which is, I think, not more than a month or two in the year. The climate is dry, in fact this country constitutes the Western limit of the of the Great Arnerican Desert. The moisture laden winds from the Pacific, are chilled by the Cascade Mts., and lose all their moisture before they reach thiscountry. Fifteen or twenty years ago vastherds of stock roamed over these now barren and aroid plains, but they soon devoured all the rich hunce grass that originally grew lux- uriantly in spots, over most of the up- land region, and even dug it upand i eradicated it, and to -day the soil s as barran as a sheep corral over most of its extent. A few lean miserable look- ing cayusis are once in .a great while tobemet with, their scanty number and exceeding meagreness serving but to emphasize the wide reaching pover- ty and barreness of the country. Over small areas the soil is rich, and local rains insure average crops, with a reasonable degree of regularits.r. These small patches of a few miles in extnt are generally thickly settled, and the people moderately comfortable. We reached Arlington about five in the evening. This is a place of about 2000 inhabitants, lying in a sand crack, or steep gulch running into the bluffs on the Oregon side of the river. It consists of one street, with a few scat- tered residences perched up almost, overhead on the sandy 'declivities foianing the sides of the fissure. It has the sante weather-beaten, neglected, superanumated appearance of all the places in this country. The side -walks are broken and covered with sand, many business places are vacant, an, looking through the uncurtained win- dows, we can see that the floors are covered with sand to the depth of an inch or so. We put up at, what is call- ed the Hotel Grande, reported to be the best in the place, three fourths saloon, and one fourth high priced, low quality eating house, with sleep- ing facilities much impaired by the bacchanalian howlings of nocturnal revellers. After a sumptuous repast ot fried sole -leather, , axle -grease butter, and deadly biscuit, we sallied out up the street. to engage some means of conveyance to our destination, which lay on the other side of the river twenty five miles back. After scouting around a while we found a Dutchman who was 0-oing out the next morning to P within six miles of Cleveland near where the boys lived, and he agreed to haul us out for asosasidersstion of_three dollars, after this, having nothing particular to do, and not averse to a little religious consolation to lighten the depressing influence of the repul- sive surroundings, we sauntered into a little church and listened to a vigorous muscular harangue, ostensibly on the beauties of it Christian character, and the distinguishing characteristics of a Christian, but the only thing the preacher told us whereby we might tell the local Christian from the local reprobate, was that the sinner descend- ed the grade into the gulch heralding his approach with it cSaitinuous volley of execrations direct ed at his four mule team, while the sad and sand -colored sailit sat patient. quiet, and resigned under all the exasperations of a teara of lazy or kanta,nkerous mules, wheth- er the local variety of saint and sinner were otherwise distinguishable he for- got to tell us, even though he had an- nounced it as the business of his ser- mon, but branched off into a discur- sive harangae about Christian duties, mingled with the customary exhor- tations to lead good lives, etc. The next morning we arose early, ate sparingly, paid excessively, and went to hunt our Dutchman; we found his dilapidated old wagon, and beside it his raw-boned horses, assisted by one or two vagrants, quietly masticat- ing a bundle of straw from the wagon box. In a few minutes the degenerate Scion of the conquerors of Sadowa made his distinguished appearance, looking as if he had just escaped from an ash barrel. Despite his dissipated and disreputable appearance, however, he proved., to be a very aimable and exemplary Dutchman, and quickly geared up, and we started for the boat landing at the foot of the street. Ar- riving there, we embarked on a little old scow of a steamer named Alkali, built up apparently from a rat, by successive additions as the owner's slowly increasing means permitted. Reaching the other side, we took seats in the decrepid vehicle, and the straw - fed mustangs began to slowly labor across the two miles of sand flat that extended to the precipitous bluffs 3000 feet high, up which our devious way ascended. When we reached the grade, in pity of much depreciated horseflesh, and to expedite matters, we generously got out and hoofed it up the hill, at the summit of which we arrived about noon, having made about six miles, four of them standing on end or nearly so, we were then on a great rolling plain extending away to the horizon in places, destitute Of every- thing but occasional gulleys, 'badger holes, and seattered specimens of Att813 t;rnf011 and aline dry exhilirating atutpaphere, Our dr' von and his stram. belllea mustangs got up it temporary supply of Dub* energy, and we bowl- ed. along- merrily for eight or ten miles till we reached "Dot," the home of the aforesaid Deuteher, and the postoillee, of Match our driver was postmaster, and kept the letters in a poen box. A dot in the defied punetnated by two wooden "shacks" and a cross road. Having gently intimated to our genial Teutonic host that we were hung' y, he set to work and fabricated biscuits. slap-jaeks, fried pork, eggs and boiled coffee, and after waiting an hour and it half in a condition of ravenous hunger, we were invited to its discus- sion and contrived to exhaust the sub- ject pretty thoroughly. We then, at peace with ourselves, and devoid of malice toward others, smoked the pipe of rural contentment,critically inspect- ed the barren landscape, noted the composition of the soil, speculated on the further destiny of "Dot," and waited for the stage to convey us to Cleveland, we had not long to wait, however, for it quickly made its ap- pearance in the form of it pair of mus- tangs and a one -seated buckboard. Its chief executive was a good type of the free and easy Western hustler, and a man of infinite resources. He quickly re -set a horse's shoe that had become loose, and as the seat was un- equal to theconafortable accomodation of all of us, he borrowed the "Post Office" (the soap box) for an extra one, and we got aboard and struck out for Cleveland at a slashing pace, and ar- rived there about dark. This is a little hamlet named after the distinguished personage whose political opponents irreverently call the "Stuffed Prophet of William St." Perhaps at some future time I may find leisure to complete the narrative of my trip, but at present I am .very busy, having many things to which I must give my attention.

DEAR SIR, notice in reading the town papers that cricket does not re- ceive thh newspaper mention which should be given t,o such an interesting sport. Our cricketers have been visit- ing other towns. and only a brief item in the local columns records the fact. We have a good cricket team here as their record of last year and this witl show. In 1891 they played 7 matches, losing but to London Asylum, which is the finest team in Canada to -day, and up to the present time of this year our club has lost but first game. As Clin- ton has always been a noted cricket town there are many readers who would take an interest in a score, etc., particularly as the President of the Club, Mr Norman Fair, has hung ito a trophy in the shape of a very fine bat, to be awarded to the member scoring the highest average runs during the season. Mr Joseph Chidley is Secre- tary of the Club, and will gladly fur- nish score of all games. OrsmsEETER. [The NEW ERA is always willing to publish any information it can secure, not alone as regards cricket, but also all other sports, but it has to rely on some member of the respective clubs for the same. It has happened, once or twice, that scores have been left with us on the day of publication, but that is too late to secure insertion the same week, as they take more time in setting up than straight reading mat- ter. Clubs will find our columns open to them at any time, andweshall be glad if they will make use of them. - En. NEW ERA.

The resignation of Dr.McDon- ald, of Seaforth, was next taken up. - Messrs. D. D. Wilson, Ballantyre, J. Wilson, and Govenlock, appeared for the Session and congregation. Reso- lutions were read from the congrega- tion, setting forth its desire to retain Dr.McDonald, and offering him an as- sistant if he would withdraw his resig- nation. Dr. Macdonald stated his it to his resignation, but left him- self entirely in the hands of the Pres- bytery. It was duly moved, seconded and carried, that in view of the congre gation's unanimous desire to retain the services of their pastor, the Pres- bytery decline to accept the resigna- tion.

In three years the interest charge on the public debt of the United States has been reduced from thirty-four and a half to less than twenty-three millions. To -day the Republic,with over twelve times our population is paying only a little more than double the sum that Canada is paying as interest on the na- tional debt. Under these circumstances it was little less than criminal to add to the Dominion's indebtedness by throwing away five million dollars in subsidies to railways that are mainly in- tended as a reward for constituencies that have returned supportors of the Government. --Toronto News, Ind Cons.

The first part of the week was extremely hot, and owing to this buying was not BO free, but at the latter end the market was pretty well crowded with butchers, raising the price sometimes to the original and still coming back to the drop of 6d, and making it standard. Thie heat has made the shippers lose consider- able in sending cattle to the other side, al- though it has been warm here, still over the water the heat has been sufficient to make them lose several head which they had not counted on. At the eastern abattoir stock yards were 300 cattle, 150 calves, 300 sheep and lambs, and 20 lean hogs. Butchers' at this market was extrenaely dull, most of that offered being very poor.
