Perhaps before next season the em- oargo on cattle will be removed, but it does not matter a great deal if it is not, if farmers only prepare befotehand, and govern themselves accordingly. USEFUL .HECREATION.—As the long iad dismal evenings are fast approach- ng,when nature, otherwise attractive, somewhat repelling, and people are eginning to look for pleasures and omforts indoors, once more we direct ttention to the Mechanics' Institute ibrary. Good books are a pleasure nd a -profit, and when -exchanges can e made so conveniently, every family n town and vicinity should take ad- antage of this public institution which ffers wholesome literature at a mini- um price. Now is the time to join. that the Canadian farmer possessed over his American com-petitcrr, by -r - ea - on of having access to the English markets without the necessity of slaughtering his cattle. This advan- tage never amounted to :anything in The Annexation 'Platform. a ot- ents bout d her ken ill it is rom an Last week mention was made of the death Wm Vanalatine, of Wingham, in 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- est son of Mrs D. Vanalstine, of Winghe.m, 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., from • e residence of the deceased to the St. Co uMban Church, Iriehtown, and from then to the Irishtown cemetery. - ON UNCIAMENTO OF THE CONT N14,NTAL UNION ASSOCIATION OF The Association is formed to co-operate with the Provincial and all similar organ- izations, in the effort to secure a free, equal and honorable union in commercial and political matters between Canada and the United States.

If any of our readers wish 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.

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."

It is the great commercial State, or at least includes the greatest commercial city. The vote polled suitable for Christmas Pres - does not indicate any fear on the part of its commercial classes that the ol- ents, but as there are but any blow on trade. T e attempts to alarm this class have utterly failed, six weeks till Christmas day and the frantic appeals which the pro- tectionists have made to all sorts of it is necessary for us to let 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 you see some of what we have now, as we cannot show all our immense stock at one time.

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.

Political Points -- Hon. T. M. Daly, the new Sliniater of the Interior, was elected by acclamation in Selkirk,Thursday. Mr Hugh J. MacDonald, M.P., says his resignation as member for Winnipeg will be handed in before next session. Mr N. G. Bigelow, M. P. P. for Toronto died Friday. He was eleoted to succeed the late H. E. Clarke, but had never taken his seat. Zllr Mercier has definitely decided to return to public life, and will take his seat in the Local Legislature at next session. Mr Hetherington, M. P. P. for Queen's county, N.B. has agreed to retire in favor of A. G. Blalr, who was defeated at the re- cent Provincial election. The Reform party loses a prominent worker by the death of T. W. Hooker, at Welland, on Thursday. Deceased had lived there nearly 40 years, and (toted as reeve and school trustee for a number of years. The verdiot of the jury acquitting Messrs. Mercier and remand of the charge of de- frauding the Province of Quebec, though it certainly does not accord with the view generally held as to their transaotions, was not unexpected. Sir John Abbott went to England with the avowed intention of consulting London specialists regarding his health, promising to cable the result to hie colleagues at Ot- tawa. Surprise is felt that so far no infor- mation has been received on this vital question. Vote; 11 Matt James Smith, farmer, aged 65, of Har- wich Township, dropped dead on Satur- day. The total assessment of London for 1893 is $15,176,087, a loss of $81,560 compared with this year. Mr C. Biggar, a well-to-do farmer, drown- ed himself at Mount Pleasant, Ont., on Thursday night. The petition against the return of Mr W. F. Maclean, as M. P. for East York, has been dismissed. A terrible blizzard raged in the North- western States Monday. There was a heavy fall of snow. It is said that Moo,iy and Sankey have received over a million dollars in royalVes on the sale of their hymns. It is said there are ever 30,000 idle work- men in Chicago, who went there expecting to get employment on the World's Fair buildings. Rumors which have been circulated that the wife of Rev. Dr. Talmage had become insane are without foundation. The lady is in perfect health. A young woman named Maloney was crushed to death in Clark's felt factory, Dundas, on Saturday, through having her dress caught in a rapidly revolving shaft. At 'Witham, in Norfolk, Eng., a nurse girl was arreated Saturday, charged with administering pins to the 7-month9-oldlchild of Bobert Baroham. The girl confessed. The child is in a critical oondition. At St. Louis, Mo., on Sunday evening' Charles Kellin,until lately a Catholics prieat, became a member of the Centenary Mes thodiet Church, the largest and richest congregation of that denomination in St. Louis. Mr James Hough, of Guelph, who has been deputy clerk of the crown and clerk of the County Conrt of Wellington for about half a century, has resigned, being now 87 years old. He has been a most efficient officer. He is the father Rev. John Hough, formerly of Londesborough. Free trade has done wonders for the Old Country. In 1842, when the British pro- tective tariff was in full ope ation, the population of England and Wae a was 16,- 130,326, and the number of patzlere on the poor rolls was 1,429,089.
