For some time there has been "bad blood" between the American and Can- adian governinents over the alleged canal discrimination by the Canadians. and the Americans threatened to re- taliate by the imposition of a toll on all Canadian vessels passing through the American Soo Canal. These ves- sels had hitherto been allowed to pass through the canal on the same terms as American vessels. but American vessels passing through • tlii! Welland Canal were not treated the same as Canahtn ones, unless they also passed -through the St. Lawrence; The Can- adian Goverimient, at lat e meeting of the Cabinet, virtually admitted the injustice of their eourse by agreeing to drop the rebate at the end of tbe pre- sent, season of navigation. This, evidently is not sat isfactory to 1hVffC1rnThrnite-on- MQhda.yday the public Avery surprised to 'find that President Ha Nicoll had issued 0 retaliation manifesto imposing a duty of 20 cents a ton °Wall *freight passing through the Soo Canal in foreign vessels. His action is no doubt partly taken for political effect in the Com in g presidental campaign. hilt there is not a particle of doubt that it was also provoked by the unbusiness: like course of our own government. It is a picayune affair for either governments to be engaged in, but is no more than might have been expert - under the • circumstances. Thatit terliallYinreiTeic With. the Canadian shipping trade is admitted on all hands, as there is yet nearly three months of lake trade to be done, and the tonnage throngh the Soo canal • is something enormous. This is one of the circ umst anees coil tin wily cropping up that show the urgent necessity for at least better trade relations and bet- ter feelings between two conntties lying side by side. We are sorry to learn that Premier _Ahbott is ill, and has been coinpelled ,T- togive up all official duties for the time being. A man of his years cannot expect to hate the vitality and stand the strain almost inseparable from public life.

Mr Hoare has made selections from all the popular nurseries in the *United States, and as he is an enthusiastic florist. anyone will be well repaid for inspecting this bed. BI( vote RACE. -The Clinton bicycle Club will bold their first social race on the evening of Tuesday next. This will be an interesting local race, as none of the boys have ever started in a race, and each one will makee an effort to win. The following persons have signified their intention of starting: - Pres. Cooper, Captain Kitt; Yellowlees, Cole, Young, and Emersou. The race will be from Kippen to Clinton,10 miles, leaving Kippen at 0.30 p.m. A suitable starter and ieferce will be provided.

The program is a very long one, and all local talent will be taking part a great many from the other choirs are taking part and showing a deep interest in the concert. The Sabbath School children are assisting by selling tickets, and have already sold over 200, which will mean a well filled hall and a good sum towards the Organ fund, program will be out Saturday eve, COMPLIMENTA.RY.-The Ki ricardi ne Reporter thus refers to the recent La- crosse match in that town: -"Had stranger been asked to name the win- ners before the game commenced. Clinton would have been the choice, if sturdy physiq de and whip -cord tous- les were the basis on which to hazard a prediction. The Clinton players are fine fellows, and their many friends who aeeoinpanied them here we be- lieve went away with the impression that this was one of the fluest towns in Canada, and for geniality our people could not be surpassed." PRUNE THE SHADE TREES. -We see by our exchanges, in some towns they are busy pruning their shade trees, under the superintendence of their steet &Immittees. Many who visit our town speak well of the shade trees, and Mr Searle has been improving some on the east side of Rattenbitry street, by pruning them, this week. He says that the town would look a great deal beqet. if the trees were trimmed up higher, and some cut down,where they are too close. We would like to have the opinion of some of our property owners on the question. LATEST BRIEFS.- Mrs Whitt will resume het classes in music as follows: - - Londesboi o, Wednesday, Aug. 31st; Clinton. Sept. 1st; Brucelield, Sept. 5th. Mr Fred Jackson leaves for Omaha on Sat urday, where he has algood situation in a large shoe establishment. A nice, refreshing rain fell on Wednesday night. and now the clouds of dust, which greeted pedestrians whenever a vehicle went by on the road, are settled, and vegetation will progress a little more favorably. The regular meeting of the W.O.T.U. will be held at the hounustf Mrs .Rlatehford on Friday, Sept. 2nd, at -Span. The- impis on. the lake shore, near Porter's Hill, have returned to tosvn.

Mr John Camp- bell. of Winnipeg,- formerly of this place, is here visiting old friends. We would be pleased to hear f rein a few more of our correspondents. - Matters of Local Interest. (Contributed by Scribbler.) MEAN, is` TR UE. -A few weeks ago an exhibition of the Bindlochine Bin -d- er, a new machine,was given near Sea - forth, to the interest of all who wit- nessed it. Asking. a machine agent the other day why it was not exhibited at Clinton, he said, "Simply because the Seaforth people told the agent that there were no good farms up this way. and it wasn't worth while showing here." If this statement is true. it re- veals a meanness that is hardly con- ceivable. ILLEGAL. -1 noticed an item in the NEW ERA last week saying that rails had been placed on the roadside of a certain road, to compel people to drive in the centOrwhich had been graded and gravelled. Those who placed the rails there', doubtless had a good object in view. but 1 must inform them their action is illegal. No one has any right to place any obstruction on a highway, except for the purpose of warning against. danger. Harrison's Manual states that a highway must be free from all obstructions, and heavy dam- ages could be recovered if an accident arose from these obstructions. Kindly, I would advise the proper authorities to move those rails before they get into trouble. LEA RN INo To RIDE. -It seemed so easy to learn to ride a bicycle, that 1 determined I would learn, and, bor- rowing a vvbeel from Ab. Cooper, I took it over on a back street to experi- ment on. It was a successful experi- ment, hut the " hanged" old thing had the best of it. The fellow who owned it said that all I had to do "was to mount it and away she'd go." I mounted, and she did go. She first went to the right, then to the left, then both vows together. then it tried to War u 2 I got off, but the way they at me I think I must have, been in a hurry, for the machine WO 80 tangled up In 14 lege that It took gave, mluutos to get us apart, 1 thought try It again; alt would be easier if I went down hill," the 'fellow gala.

'Tis with plea- sure we thank Chief Wheatley for his prompt attention, and now we are convinced that he is endeavoring to do his duty as guardian over our many citizens. We are exceedingly sorry that he had to threaten those who were sitting in front of one hotel, be- fore they would move. Shame, men, shame. MAGISTRATES. - From a reliable source we have been informed that Chief Wheatley finds difficulty in se- curing magistrates to hear the cases he had arranged. The other day st man was put in the cooler for carrying a loaded revolter, but was allowed to go on his way rejoicing, next anorning, because none of our magistrates would' hear the case. Mayor Doherty was away, so he cannot 1e censured for this but we understand there are seve- ral cases now ready, but a magistrate is not to be found in town who will hear the cases. Who are the proper authorities to look after this? Why is our town treasury not swelled by these fines, nor a warning given to else cul- prits. Let action be taken at once, and have these cases tried. News Notes Around the Canty The woollen mile of Wingham have changed hands, Mr Moody having sold them to a couple of men from Peenslyvania. 5fr Rich Kinsman, of Wingharri, was called away to Mitchell on Friday last, to attend the funeral of his mother, who re- sided in that place. Miss McIntyre, of Seaforth, for the past three years of the Mitchell post office, and an experienced operator, takes the place of Miss Hattie Walker at the wicket of the Gorrie post office. The stock of Clegg's hardware store was sold on Tuesday. Mr J. H. Cline, of Winghani,got the hardware at 41ic in the $ and Mr Thos. Rae, of Wroxeter, the grocer- ies and crockery at 89e. Mr W. Robertson, who left Wingliam a short time ago for Iowa, has returned to Wingharn. He reports that there are thousands of men unable to find employ- ment in that part of the country where he was. Mr Wm. Johnston, of Wroxeter, was committed to Goderich jail on Friday last for stabbing a man named Cameron. It appears that Cameron had bought some furniture fromJohnston and it resulted in at quarrel. Cameron was stabbed in his own house while reading a paper. s . NEWS NOTES.

President Harrison on Saturday issued a proclamation imposing retaliatory tolls on Canadian vessels passing through Am- erican canals. The proclamation tale a effect on September 181. Mr H. Palmer, an accountant, accident ally shot himself on Wednesday at Kemp's trout pond, near Codrington, Ont., while placing his gun in the boat. He leaves a wife and four children. The Manitoba Government has sent an Icelander to his native country to promote emigration from that island Lo the Prairie Province. Alvin, the Canadian stallion, won the great race of the Grand Rapids meeting, and thereby captured the $10,000 stake. It is described as the hottest race the track has ever seen. The farmers in Manitoba are besieg- ing the immigration offices in Winni- peg with applications for help for the harvesting. High wages are offered, but the supply of laborers is not near- ly equal to the demand. The most wonderful thing that has happened in some time is the ride of young Prank Marsden, eleven years of age, from Kingston to Toronto, on a child's iron high -wheel bicycle. The lad left Kingston on Tuesday morning and got into Toronto at ten o'clock Thursday, having been absent forty- six hours. He says that he rode every foot of the distance, only taking time for refreshments. Tuesday a, burglar rode up to the resid- ence of Jacob II.

Since it was decided to rale the wheel to the statue of •a collegiate, there has been expended a considerable sum in building and equipment, and it has taken all the funds at the diepoeal of the Board, for the general maintenance of the school. It would be a great encouragement and as- sistance to the Board, if some of the citi- zens would go to the rescue, in the mat- ter of planting trees and aderiunent of the grounds, I would suggest that "Soribbler" organize a committee of citizene who could, co•operating with the Board, devise a eoherne whereby the grounds could be pro- perly adorned, and find ways and means early next season of carrying the seheme into effect. With united and hearty action the Collegiate grounds could be made to pass even a more critical inspection than that of your correspondent. Yours, RiTSPATER. The Wheat Situation Favorable reports of the European wheat orop during the past few days, combined with a further increase in the supply in sight, has had a weakening effect upon prises on this side of the Atlantic, °wising them to recede 3c per .bush from top rates about twelve days ago. The Russian wheat urop, says the Trade Bulletin, so - cording to latest estimates, is 280,000,000 bushels, against 253,000,000 bushels last year. The wheat crop of France is esti. mated at 288,000,000 bushele, against 225,- 000,000 bushels a year ago, so that the combined wheat crops of France and Rus- sia are 90,000,000 bushels in excess of those of last year. With regard to the new Russian wheat, the Corn Trade List says: -"The samples are of such excellent quality that factors find it difficult to believe that the Russian crop is not a very good one." The English wheat crop is estimated at 66,000,000 bushels, being about 4,000,000 below that of last year, and the amount in farmers' hand is placed at 6.880,000 bush- els. The Indian yield, however, it is be- lieved, will show a large deficit, causiug an advance of six pence on that class of wheat. The visible supply of wheat in the Unit. ed States and Canada was augmented by 2,174,000 bushels to 28,255,000 bushels, against 19,556,000 bushels a year ago, while the amount on passage to the United King- dom and the continent of Europe showed a decrease of 808,000 bushels. The total quantity ;n sight was 52,839,000 bushels, against 51,473,000 the week previous, which is an increase of 1,366,000 bushels. The total amount in sight a year ego was 59,740000 bushels, or about 7,000,000 more than at present. Advices from Chicago state that the market for wheat was never befose known to be as tame as it has been for the past few days, the speculative deals being nar- rowed down to scalping lots of 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 bvshels. The usual batch of crop -killing reports have been circulated. but they have failed to produce the desired effect. The short interest continues small, and is likely to do so as long as values drag upon their present low basis. The speculative market, in fact, has been al- most lifeless during the past week. • Concerniner the English Cabinet The Grand Old Man's task of Cabinet making is over and he has returned to Hawarden to rest and think over his Home Rule Bill, which will be drafted in time for the winter session. On the whole he is satisfied with the Ministry as finally made up, though he has been obliged to sacrifice his personal desires in several in- stances. It was one of his difficulties to reconcile each colleague to the Post for which -he -had -cast -him. Lord Riseebery'a disinclination to take office was not so much due to a desire for an untrammeled rule as to a reluctance to assume the onorous du- ties of the Foreign Office. He would have preferred a post to which less responsibility was attaohed. It will be a surprise to some also to know that John Morley had no yearning desire to take the Irish Sedretaryfilfig.--1Tkr Witt much more inclined to accept India or the colonies. But on this Mr Gladstone was firm, and all the Liberal leaders coincide with him. There was only one man for • Ireland, and that was John Morley. Of course it has been found impossible to satisfy all aspirants for office. Mr Os- borne Morgan resented an offer of the post of Judge Advocate, believing that his work entitled him 10 a Cabinet post. As he re- fused what was offered,lhe gets nothing. Sir E. J. Beed alio took upon himself to re- fuse the Junior Lordship of the Admiralty, holding that the post was not good enough for him and he also is left out in the cold. Lord Aberdeen might have had office hut he prefers going to Canada when the vacan- cy arises, and some feminine quarrels have prevented Lord Brassey taking office. The absence of Henry Lahore:there from the Government excites the most comment. No blame can be attached to Gladstone for this. He cast Labouchere in the first list, and then his wife, who has been Gladstone's right hand in these laborious days, sug- gested that possibly Queen Victoria would object. The old man saw the foroe of the observation. He had no wish to 9uarrel with the Queen, lwho could make his task, if she so minded, so muoh harder. He sounded Sir Henry Ponsonby, and that as- tute official of the court made a small sug- gestion which °tooted a scene at Osborne. Her Majesty of England said in effect that Labotichere bad perpetually insulted her and her family in his paper, Truth. He had opposed the grant of proper mainten- ance for her offspring, and she would never consent to Ruch a man being in her Cabi- net and oounted among her advisers. Glad- stone had to throw Over Labouohere or relief such a Constitutional question as had not been created during this generation. The consequent irritation among the Ra- dicals will soon wear off. Mr Gladstone comes into power with high resolves, which his majority sincerely mean to help the veteran leader carry out when Parliament reassembles. Mr Glad - t ot ohniemw. ill find his majority to a man loyal On Satin -day morning, while the Cana- dian Pad& Railway express train was ap- prorolung &haw, a little station a few miles east of Galt, Frederick Coveney, a carpenter, whose home was in Toronto, but who was engaged in the erection of a building up there, was kneeked down and instahtly killed.
