Malicious and False
_
'.:T,Lie eoclerich Star of last week gave
Cita prominence to an article where-
,
nit WaS alleged,that Mr Cameron had
Withdrawn his suit for slander against
Jonathan Miller, arising out of the
ore.:Lornas case, and had also paid all
, .
::costs as far as the case had gone. The
r then inferred that Mr Cameron
.
ets,the gudty party, and stated that
thought this opinion unjust or
f ir, he was at liberty to resent itin
SAY 7Way he saw fit.
e article certainly placed Mr Cam-
:
,eiint in an unfavorable light, making
•ent.that he had backed down in his de-
ne-which was an equivalent to an
84now1edgement of guilt, and had the
'temente therein been true, would
SUredly have lost him some of the
impart and confidence of his former
lOgncis•
,4,434 it turns out that the article is
XleCtrtte; That Mr Cameron did not
(eVitiiraw the suit against Mr Miller,
lit that the suit is still on, as is also
,Xte against the editor of the Star for
iniinal libel, and others will yet find
henieelves defendants in the same
he facts of .the case, furnished not
.v. lir. Cameron nor with his know -
edge, but on the best of authority, are
'nn.ostanttally as follows:—
essrs. Garrow & P;oudfoot, acting
ei 1111:. Cameron, sued.Gore and Miller
1, 0, slander. 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. Gore got an order in Toronto
ately to examine one Laura Gordon,
anae time housemaid at Mr. Came-
sa '-.She—laefrirnt-tleatIrs-CTOOP-Witlf
eepsumption, and it being alleged that
,•
Abe could give damaging evidence
Altinst Mr. Cameron. Counsel for
,:-9-OrP, Miller and Cameron attended at
'the house where the sick girl lies, when
at:the last moment eouspel for Gore oiler-
.; rather than probably hasten the
iii's death, that if Cameron would
, ,•
4rop the action against Gore, and pay
hliEr'own costs, they would pay theirs.
1,3 Gore is worth nothing, and two don-
e,
ere eertified that it was highly dange-
_proc_e,ecLIVIrRatroW., _tieing_ bis
ewn discretion, accepted the terms.—
It will thus be seen that Mr. Cameron
'Ad not back down, nor did Mr Garrow
, *take any offer of settlement, as al-
'lleged by the Star. 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

:.. 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.
" ,1411ggeeted as an alternative that he
, ShOirld Withdraw his writ and action.
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

, he offered to sound Mr.Cameron.

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

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-

Not only have the Lon?Etrat iolonals
been asking for better trade' fanititieS,
but alinoet every paper that is classed

Hantil-
ton and other places which have hoist-
ed the storm signal for the benefit of

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

financial interests removes from the

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

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.

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

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

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

and the Duke of Devonshire to Windsor

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.

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.
