she will succumb.
Mr Charles Badour, who lives nal. St.

Mr Robert G. Ross has sold his farm,
which is east of Winthrop, to Mr John

although the buildings are 'gut anything
extra, the farm is one of the very best in
the township.
Mr John Hannah last week closed his

Goderich for this season. The creamery at
Kirkton is still running. We are very glad

they find that they can get more for their

Last week mention was made of the

Michigan; we learn that "he just went
over to where they were threshing and got
caught in the tumblingrod of the machine."
When taken out be was unconscious and
only lived about three hours. He leaves
a wife and six children. He was the eld-

and his untimely death will be mourned
by his many relatives and friends in this
neighborhood.
It becomes our duty this week to chronicle
the death of one of the pioneers of Tucker -
smith, Mr Hugh McMillan, who died upon
the 30th ult., after a comparatively short
illness. Deceased was a native of the High-
lands of Scotland and came to this country
when a young man, and like many more
hewed out for himself a home in the forests
of Canada. Mr McMillan was 62 years of
age at the time of his death. Some time
ago he was attacked with paralysis from
which he never thoroughly regovered.
Subsequently he had another 'attack which
rendered all chance of recovery hopeless.
The fir • eral took place on the 2nd inst.,

then to the Irishtown cemetery.

There are some excellent planks in it,

independent of others. Read it over
carefully, and see if there are not many
things in it that people agree Aron in

to express their opinions upon it, we
shall be glad to give them space in our
columns, whether they endorse it or
differ with it. The Annexationists, by
inserting a clause to the effect that the
consent of the Imperial Government
must be secured before union takes
place, at least show their willingness to

THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT. — Con-
cerning attractions at fairs, a writer
says:—"People have become weary of
year after year paying admission to see
the same articles shown years ago;
something to attract an exciting inte-
rest is demanded, and until something
better can be adopted the speeding con-
test will be continued as part of the
program. In the case of nearly all the
agricultural societies there needs to be
a thorough revision of the prize lists,
and a great deal of the antiquated stuff
removed to give place to that of rnore
modern make, The object of these
fairs is to propogate the industrial ages,
and for this reason the list, in the in-
door department especially, should be
revised each year to meet the advances
in the various arts and handiwork of
the ladies. As it is, the same articles
are shown year after year, and in this
way the interest taken in fairs is wan-
ing."

whatever from any king, prince, or foreign
state.

matters: — war and peace; treaties and

taxation for the foregoing purposes, and
for the general support of the government.

from interfering with the free exercise
thereof.

and the frantic appeals which the pro-

passions and prejudices have not yet
yielded a very rich harvest of votes.
It appears that Cleveland had also
carried Illinois and Indiana, though
these are not conceded by the Repub-
licans. Iowa and Wisconsin, once
Republican strongholds, are in doubt;
and the People's party have made
great inroads upon the forces of Re-
publicanism in the West. Whatever
may be the exact composition of the
Electoral College, there is no doubt
that the popular vote of the country
is overwhelmingly against the party
in power. The result has lessons for
all who will read them. It has lessons
as well
Icy of tariff reform is going to inflict
for members of its own party
as for those outside of it.
The platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic party at this year's convention
(tariff retorm) shows its coinplete con-
version to the views of its great leader,
and the result of Tuesday's election is
positive proof that in the country, in
spite of the tremendous influences of
a privileged class, which is making
millions annually out of the existing
policy, the principles of freeing com-
s itherin s shackles has
at length commended itse o t e in-
telligence of the people. It furnishes a
grand object lesson, that all public
men should mark that courage and
fidelity to principle is often quite as
profitable as the politics that consist of
opportunist evasions, subterfuges and
compromises.
Several circumstances tended to

to come, and the citizens of each simplify the issues placed before the
Province to be entitled to all the privileges I electors. Both candidates were men of
and immunities of free citizens in. every unimpeachable integrity; each has ser -
state of the Union, and to have free ingress ved four years in the White House, and
against neither was there any charge
of corruption. It was remarked that
there was a singular freedom from per-
sonalities, and that the band, the cam-
paign song and other means ofimpress-
ing the electons by noise and pomp
showed signs of falling into disuse.
The two great issues were the Force
Bill and the tariff. The Force Bill was
passed by the Republican House of Re-
presentatives in 1890, but was defeated"
in the Senate. Its object wasto ensure
Federal control over State elections,
or, putting it more bluntly, to enable
the negroes in the South to vote with-
out interference. Being strangled, the
bill did the Republicans no good,while
it enabled the -Democrats to raise the
cry of negro domination,andso to keep
the South solid. On the tariff question
the gulf between the two parties has
widened since 1888. A great mass of
tariff refor m literature has been circu-
lated; and the convention which nom -
mated Clevelanditook advanced ground
on the question. On the other hand,
the McKinley Bill, passed by the Re-
• publicans in 1890, was considered by
manyinembers of their own party as an
excessive and -unwise application of the
pr inciple of protection.
