THE MINISTER OF MLLITIA.—The
Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister of
Militia, accompanied by his wife and
faibilyand Private. Secretary, spent a
few days in town last week,making
his headquarters at the Rttenbury
House. As soon as his presence was
known numbers of his supporters (and
a few Liberals) called upon him. On
Friday he went out into Goderich
township, accompanied by the Presi-
dent the Conservative Association,
Mr Todd, and several others,,going as
far as Bayfield. Friday evening the
new town band serenaded him and were
rewarded by a donation of $15. In the
brief speech that he made he compli-
mented the members on their proficien-
cy and skill, particularly as this was
their first public appearance. He was
also the recipient of an address from
the Conservative Association. Satur-
day he visited several of the industries
about town, complimented the people
of town on its clean and tidy appear-
ance. Sunday morning he accompan-
ied ex -mayor Doherty to the Ratten-
bury Street church, and in the evening
accompanied Mr Todd to the Episcopal
church, which is the one he regularly
attends. He left by south train on
Monday afternoon. It is only reason-
able •to assurne that the majority of
those who called upon him were in full
sympathy with the Government of
which he is a member, and that his vi-
sit here was on the whole a pleasant
one, but we have the authority of a
gentleman who professes to know, for
the statement that a pronounced Con-
servative told the minister emphatic-
ally, that unless the government's
trade policy was greatly amended, he
would no longer give it his support.

There is a good prospect that thepol
itical atmosphere will be stirred into
activity by the advent of Hon. Wilfred
Laurier. I look forward with confi-
dence that the visit will prove of great
value to the party, at the present
juncture of affairs. There are numer-
ous questions that he will deal with,
which should be kept before the elec-
tors. The time is creeping on when
they will have to decide- between the
present unsatisfactory state of things
at Ottawa, and a new and progressive
government under the auspices of the
Liberals, with Mr Laurier at its head.
When. this takes place it is to be hoped
that he will be placed in the position
so happily described by Sir Olive
Mowat, when he says "I have known
other governments have found difficul-
ty in findingmen suitable for impor-
tant departments. That, however,
has not -been my experience, thanks to
the people who have always sent me
able men to the Legislature to choose
from." This can only be done by a
careful selection of the right men, and
their triumphant• return at the polls.
To accomplish this it should only be
necessary to have thorough organiza-
tion and to keep the measures the
Liberals are pledged to give, and which
are so essential for the country's pro-
gress, and which the Conservatives
will never enact no matter what their
promises may be.
Hon. Wilfred Laurier will speak at
Newmarket on Tuesday next, Septem-
ber 5; at Welland on Thursday,
Sept. 7; at Alymer on Saturday, Sept.
9; at St. Thomas on Monday, Sept. 11;
at Leamington on Tuesday, Sept, 12.
Meetings in other parts of the Province
-are being arranged. It is also pretty
certain that we shall hear from Mr
Dalton- -McCarthy before' long, as Mr
Fee, the organizer of the McCarthy
party, is busily at work making ar-
rangements.
Your readers will have noticed that
the latter clause in the Sherman.Bill
has been repealed by over one hundred
majority; and this will almost to a cer-
tainty insure the passage of the Wilson,
Bill in the Senate. The determined ac-
tion of the Democrats is indicative that
other measures tending to relieve the
financial difficulties of the country will
speedily follow, and if we had the right
men at the head of affairs here, the op-
portunity will not be wanting for a re -
ns al of such reciprocity as would be a
reli f to both countries. CANADIAN.

ANNIVERSARY,—The annual teameet-
ing, in connection with the Methodist
church, will take place on:the 24th and

"always noted for its tea meetings, and
this will be no exception. More min-

GARDEN PARTY.—A garden party,
under the auspices of the English
Church, was held on the lawn of Mr
Wm. Stanley, last (Thursday) evening:
The weather, though rather cool, was
beautiful and fine, and the Clinton
brass' band being in attendance, every
one enjoyed themselves.
PICNIC. — The Methodist Sabbath
School held their picnic on the Mait-
land flats, on Tuesday, and although
the weather was rather cool, a very
enjoyable time was spent. Mr Forster
has some good boats on the river, and
a neat pier built,. so that all might en-
joy a, good row. At the close of the
day our photographer took a picture
of the crowd, which are for sale at his
studio.
WATER PowER.—Mr B. Forster. is
tired of carryi ng water 'up the hill, and
has arranged for something else to do
the work. His house is on the top of
the hill, and about half way down is
the spring that supplies the house with
water; he has put in a hydraulic ram
a few feet below the spring, far enough
to give the water considerable fall, and
by means of pipes the house is con-
stantly supplied. The ram works per-
fectly, and will throw the water ten'
feet up for every one foot of drop.
AN UNPLEASANT FALL. —Last week,
as Mr Marquis was loading sheaves, he
had a very nasty fall. The load was
nearly all on, and the team was headed
up a hill, when the pitcher spoke to
Mr Marquis, but they, apparently
thinking it was for them to go on,
started, throwing Mr Marquis back-
wards over the top of the sling rack,
down the hill. The fall .rendered him
unconscious for sometime, but he was
very fortunate to escape with nothing
more serious than a severe shaking up.
Somas—The,Royal Templars intend
giving a social next Monday evening,
in the hall, for the purpose of helping
a sick member of the Council. This
member has had sickness in the family
for a year, and when" the public know
that the entire proceeds will be devoted
to this it is hoped they will kindly re-
spond. A short program will he given,
including brief addresses from Revs
Fear and Diehl. After the program,
lunch will be served, consisting of cof-
fee, cake, etc. A most cordial invita-
tion is extended to all; admission, 15c.
Program to commence at 8 p.m: sharp.
HARVEST HOME.—A harvest home
was held in.the bush of Mr Osbaldes-
ton, on Tuesday afternoon; quite a
number were present, and all seemed
delighted with the afternoon's enjoy-
ment. During the afternoon a class
in connection with the Baptist Sabbath
School, Clinton, presented Mrs Osbal-
deston, their teacher,with a handsome
lemonade set, accompanied by the fol-
lowing address :
To MRS. OBBALDEBTON.
DEAR TEACRER,—Wo, the members of your
Sunday School class, desire to thank you not
only for the very pleasant time which through
your kindness, we have enjoyed together today"
but also for your untiring zeal in meeting with
us and instructingus Sunday after Sunday in
those things which belong to our eternal peace.
We feel we cannot let this favorable oppor-
tunity pass without in some way showing our
gratitude to you, and therefore ask you to ac-
cept this lemona(te set as a small token of our
esteem and love. Wo hope you may bo long
spared to carry on your Christian work, and
you have Christ's promise that in due time you
shall reap if you faint not, Signed on behalf of

days last week. The youngest son of
Mr. Fear has been very sick for over a
week, but is somewhat better now.—
Mr. Fear gave a splendid sermon to the
children last Sunday morning, one so
simple that they all could understand
and carry away with them, yet so in-
structive that older ones might learn
and proflt by it. We hear that the
Clinton Electric light Co. intend to put
their light down at the river, so as to
utilize water power; we hope this is
true, so then perhaps we could get a
wire for our town,. and do without the
Street lamps. [It is not true.]

"EVERY -DAY" PEOPLE.
"Do you know what I'd do if I could
afford it," said a man living in town,
"I'd plant all the fruit I possibly could,
and only raise what grain was absolute-
ly necessary:" the market would he
gutted, you say, not much, and even if
it were, I think the chances of profit,
year after year, would be much better
in fruit than in anything else. Why
look at the increasing demand.. There
is ten times as much fruit used now as
there was a few years ago, and there'll
be more all the time."
"What's the use of raising grain,"
remarked a well-to-do farmer the other
day, "here, all I can get for wheat is
60 cents a bushel, while barley is only
35. There's no money in it, and for the
life of:me I don't see what we are to do
to better ourselves. Suppose I get 25
bushels of wheat to the acre—and
I think that's an average—that means
$15 an acre. I had twenty acres;
that would bring me $300. Count cost
of seed, reaping and threshing, and
what have I got left, not much, you
say; well, by George, I should say not.
It makes me tired to hear the rot peo-
ple talk about the farmer's prosperity;
they simply don't know what they are
talking about.
"I'm not inclined to look at things
through dark glasses," said a. man who
farms, handles cattle, and tries to do
some honest speculating occasionally,
"but I don't kuow what farmers are
going to do if there is not soon a change
in some way. The price of nearly
everything is low; now there's wheat,
so low that there's nothing in it; then
there's cattle—the bottom has been
out of the market and when it will get
better goodness only knows; horses,
well, they're not so bad; you can sell a
good horse and make a,little money,
and the same with hogs; but sheep are
down. Ifthe outlook was brightening
it would not be so bad, but we seem to
have reached the stage of low prices,
for all we have to sell at any rate.
