They defended by differ- 'entatttorneys. Gore defended by say- , r.„!-'• ,. • g that the alleged slander is true.— his, of course, raises the whole ques- '-1 ' . lien ot guilt or innocence. Miller says "I didn't slander at all, or if T did .. occasion was privileged." Be does not plead that the slander was tele.

It is said that Miss 016R—on1nows nothing about the mat- ter, in fact she has already made two eclarations to that effect. t will thus be seen that the case still koes*to trial as against Millet'. ,•,` e.,•The editor of the Star has been coin . , *lilted to stand his trial on a charge of ,Criminal libel. The News -Record and Yr' -ether newspapers that published the 'enatter will also be proceeded against. IThe Tcronto World published the .-,$ r s article, but apologises by the iblication of the following statement *Ina Mr Murphy, Q. C. of Toronto:— . , •"I went to Goderich," Mr Murphy :•-id, "to examine the girl Laura Gordon a declaration made by her in the F,Vdse of Cameron against Gore and . Miller. I was counsel for Gore. The O. Gordon is, I should judge, in the tatages of consumption. I paid her i.,:a !Vietcl sit a.sawiher enfeebled condition. r‘infiiitysician said that she could stand r -it brief examination, but if protracted he yireuld not be responsible. I saw Mr GettoW, counsel for Mr Cameron, and aektid him how long his cross-examin- t• -*fiat of the girl would be. I said that , Myekamination might not occupy more thatil5minutes. Mr Garrow statedthat 'S;IceoSs-examination would be very tong. I think he mentioned four hours . • bfitiore. I confess that my visit to the :.. itYing girl had awakened my sympathy. Iexpressed this feeling to Mr Garrow. • Paid this girl's evidence was very irn- bliant NI xny client, and must be ob- 1,...ined if the case was to go on. I then u.

Mr GO,rroter expessed as strong a repug- ' Mice to subjecting the invalid girl to ri, eeetching cross-examination'as 1 did, btit thetight that his client ye -mild not •tenrierit to drOpping the action. How- , he offered to sound Mr.Cameron. We feet next Morning and Mr. Garrow , fitilMinced his willingness to withdraw the Writ and stop the action, each party • to tri,Y his Own coats. This we accept- , ed. It Wes done entirely from human - rt" if:it:Ilan inOtivea." , 6.•': We' .st4ernettt is a direct contradic- tion a the' St's article, aria is eepe• ittallY inipisttant an conaingfroni tlore'S OludstOnc Xl[as It is now settled that the Liberals and Irish Nationalists combined will fornt a majority of the next Rouse of Com- mons. The Gladstordan 'majority will not exceed 40, and may be as low as 20. With all of those who advocate home rule working together in, harmony, this majority,ohould he sufficient to carry through the measure which Mr Gladstone has set out to accomplish. The size of a majority does not affect its right to enact legislation, and some of the roost itnpor taut reforms in Brit- ish history have been adopted by ma- jorities far less than the lowest number suggested for Mr Gladstone's govern- ment. Therefore it is not likely that Mr Gladstone .will be deterred by any nuntber as to the numerical weakness of his majority from using that ma- jority for the purposes which he holds to be foremost and imperative in Brit- ish legislation. Nor have the Conservatives any right, or even excuse, to object to Mr. Gladstone's majority, because it is com- posed of Irish Nationalists, or, to put it accurately, because he would not have a majority but for the National- , ists. The Conservatives have been clamoring and contending that the Brit- ish Parliament is the only parliament for Irishmen, and it would be absurd for them to contend that an Irish member of Parliament should not count just the same as a British Member. If the Conservatives think it inconvenient to have Irish Nationalists overcoming, in British legislation, the will of a British majority, a remedy can readily be found for the evil in granting home rule, and providing that Ireland may attend to her own affairs, while Great Britain legislates for Great Britain. Air Gladstone has resolved that his lifework shall be crowned with the achievement of reparative justice in the restoration of home rule to Ireland. On that issue, clearly and distinctly laid before the voters and the candi- dates, a majority is returned favorable to his great undertaking. He will un- doubtedly use to the bestpossible advan tage the weapon thus placed at his com- mand. He is not the man to tempt, Pro- vidence by dissolving Parliament and challenging another trial of strength with a part y as formidable, and thor- ough in brainy leadership as the Con- servative party and its Liberal lin ion- s t allies, unless it should prove to be absolutely necessary. Mr Gladstone will certainly introduce a home rule hill at the approaching session, and if it fails to become a law it will not be through any lack of vigorous, of shrewd intl-vesolate—managetuesat-orratis-paet.- An Irish home rule bill may be looked for in the corning autumn, and its pas- sage in the house will depend chiefly on the Irish themselves. A number of Conservative papers are ti•ying to extract consolation from the fact that Mr. Gladstone's majority is so uncertain that he will not be able to undertake with certainty, any legisla- tion, much less a measure.of so radical a nature as a home rule bill. He has not a large majority, it is true, but he knows how to make good use of what he has, and is likely to come through The county of Huron is not generally behind the tirnes, but in retaining the statute labor system it perpetuates that which cannot be abolished too soon. -We hope the municipalities of Huron will not forget thesuggestion of the County Council concerning the House of 'Refuge question. That is. to take ;t vote next January on t he mat ter. The ether day a Buffalo picnic part3- ccossed over to theCanadian side of the river, bringing some ice-cream with them for lunch. The Canadian Cus- tomsCollector was so kind-hearted and generous that he only collected about SlOduty on the ice-cream. The election of Hon. Edward Blake by a majority of MOO was a tribute to his ability, and when he takes his place in the English parliament he will be able to show the people of the old land that all who are bought up in "the colonies" are not without broad intelligence and unusual oratorical powers. The Globe advocates the calling of a Liberal convention, and gives cogent reasons for so doing. By all means let a convention be called, and let a fresh platform be fornuilated, embodying the soundest economic trade policy possible, and also the most desirable reforms in legislation. A convention might do good; it could not do harm. It, is reported that Lord Stanley will shortly resign his position as Governor General. He has been a brilliant suc- cess as a fisherman, but otherwise he has not amounted to very much. With Mr. Gladstone in office, a Liberal wOuld likely get the appointment, but he Would/ not be muchri iore than a flpie: head tinleas he made the governineht prineigc tatet o I Canada's Tra,de Not only have the Lon?Etrat iolonals been asking for better trade' fanititieS, but alinoet every paper that is classed as independent Conservative also, and now the Montreal Shareholder, a journal that has always supported the N. P., comes out squarely for a change,' Published in suo.h manufactOring centre as Montreal it adds another to the list of journals in Toronto, Hantil- ton and other places which have hoist- ed the storm signal for the benefit of the ship cif state. The article asks the Government to withdraw protection from all industries except those which actually exist and are worthy of pro- tection. It warns the manufacturers that there is a limit to protection and tells them they "cannot pxpect to have the paps of the Golbernment breast forever between their lips, but must undergo the weaning process." The article advises the Administration at Ottawa to reduce the duties on British manufactures to the basis of a revenue tariff. These words from a Conservative organ of banks and financial interests removes from the list of exceptions to the general de- mand for a change of policy one im- portant and influential class cited in a recent article by the Toronto Week.

HURON MEDICAL AssoctATION.—The meeting of the Huron Medical Associa- tion, held at Seaforth on Tuesday, was largely attended by members of the medical profession trove all parts of tle county. The day was occupied with the presentation and discussion of a large number of interesting cases and papers. In addition to the contribu- butions to the program by local mem- bers of the profession, an interesting paper on "Electrolysis in Practice," by Dr C. R. Dickson, of Toronto, and another on "Epilepsy," by Dr. J. Ferg- uson, of Toronto, were highly apprec- iated. Arrangements were made for awirmer-piente—fee HnroirThedicai men and their families at Hayfield during the first week in August. The graduates of Toronto University at the meeting on Tuesday decided unani- mously -Ea support the candidatuie of Drs. Wright, Aikins, McFarlane and Cameron at the coming election to the Senate of the Provincial -University. UNION CHOIR EXCURSION TO GODE- RICH.—A new and popular idea is that initiated by• the musical people of Galt, Preston, Berlin and Waterloo, of a reunion of the members of different church choirs and their friends by means of an excursion to some favor- ite point, Goderich being proposed. The idea was so well received general- ly that arrangem-ents-have been made to hold such an excursion on Friday, July 22nd, and invitations haveibeen thrown open to all choirs within reach of the railway and to the public, including Stratford, Sebring- vifle, Mitchell, Seaforh, and Clin- ton choirs. Already many choirs have signified their intention to go, and it is expected that in all fully 40 or 50 choirs will be represented and the excursion and festivities in con- nection will be a unique musical event. A fine reception is to be given by the Goderich choirs, which have entered heartily into sympathy with the pro- ject, a concert to be participated in by t he arious choirs will be given at the Lake park, and the skating rink will be thrown open for refreshment pur- r)/ s. -s. A steamer excursion out on Lake Huron has also been arranged for, and the occasion bids fair to be enjoyably remembered by all who take part in it. The intention is to prepare special badges for each choir to assist in recognizing one another. Exeter. NEARLY A FIRE. —On Monday after- noon some ashes were thrown on a manure heap near a stable belonging to Mr L. H. Dickson, which were sup- posed to be cold. The inmates of the residence were surprised about one hour afterwards on going to the door to find the heap of refuse in a blaze. The HAUCK'S spread rapidly and but for the arrival of several citizens would have soon been beyond control. Pails were brought into use and a quantity of water thrown upon the ignited de- bris which impeded further destruction of property. NON COMPOS MENTIS —A very sad and melancholy mishap which causes much discomfort in whose family it may happen, came upon Eva, the grown up daughter of Mrs Piper, of this place. She has for some time past been suffer- ing severely from flts which has at last resulted in a case of insanity. On Tues- day Mrs Piper had occasion to leave the house for a few hours, and shortly after her departure the deranged girl girl took the youngest child • of the house into the yard and commenced pounding it with a scrubbing brush, and no doubt would have killed the un- fortunate child had it not been for the timely assistance of Mrs Thos. Snell, who heard the cries and went to its rescue. Dr Rollins WAS afterwards sumnioned; and examined her and pro- nounced her linage. She 'WAS retnoved to,Goderich and Will go froni there to the.Lotilionyl. tm /PT •Mqq•.1.ml• Eehoes from the contest. ., an, Edward Blake's majority was t is officially announoed that as a result o the visit of Lord Salisbury to the Queen at.',Windsor Castle yesterday the Coneerva- the Government will meet Parliament on e.eoust 4.

The result of the general election has converted the powerful Daily Chronicle, which henceforth will give "an independent support" to Gladstone's policy. Zn the course of a leading editorial on the result of the colonial policy, The New Yerk Sun says:—"As regards the colonies in!general, the accession of Mr Gladstone means the complete osllapse of the • fair tr+de" movement, and of the visionary pro- jects for Imperial federation.

The Pall Mall Gazette says a rumor is in circulation that the Queen will not summon Mr Gladstone to form a Ministry and that a Coalition government under the Duke of Devonshire is possible. The Pall Mall Gazette connects the rumor with the visit of 1Lord Salisbury, Joseph Chamberlain and the Duke of Devonshire to Windsor Castle last week. The best -informed Li1 'Urals ridicule a Devonshire coalition as ou side of all possible contingencies impart. in ' the acceptance of homerule by the Lib- eral-rnionists and their return to their ad. heon to Mr Gladstone. he Liberal lesders are prepared to take offiCe immediately or await the defeat of the', Government on the amendment to the aclgress. No tactics that the presnt GOV - eriiiiitent can adopt will force the hand of Gr, stone. A conference of Mr Gladstone au his colleagues is expected to take place oit hursday. Regarding the coming crisis inparliament a month must elapse before t1ji' actual business of the House begins. T swearing in of members takes a fort- ni t, then the election of Speaker and of th ishairman of committee proceeds, in. velving possibly a debate, and next comes th0disoussion of the amendment to the address in reply to . the speech from the ilii:- Ifiliiiiis &lie GI ids ton e re ay take a fortnight to form a Minstry, a number of mepilsers of which may require re-election. The Liberals thus calculate that it will be October before the new Government can be called upon to present to Parliament its pregramme. The import of this estimate , of ‘'progress is that it is probable that Mr Gladstone will not begin the work of legisla- tion in the winter sessior, but postpone it until next spring. A section of the Con- servatives cherish the delusion that Lord Salisbury, still holding a majority of the Blitish votes, can refuse to resign until an- other appeal has been made to the country. Sotne Tory papers seek to deny that such a coarse would be unconstitutional, though the bulk of them admit that the Govern- ment must vacate office on the first adverse votb.
