But the editorial utterances of that

so bad, so noxious, so treason-
able and betraying, that Tun

maligned and slandered by an annexa

Mr. Birmingham said at the Grand
Lodge that has met with criticism wa•
this :
FUTURE OF C.1NADA..
in my last annual report, I took the
liberty 0: pointing out that "through the
persistent and determined efforts of
certain parties fn (Jinade, we might ex-
pect in the near future, that a vigorous
attempt would be made to wreck British
influence anti dismember the British
Empire." Shortly after our meeting et
Owen Sound, my report received atten-
tion at the trends of a gentleman then
living in this town, and who held a high
position in the County of Dufferin. Mr.
Elgin Myers, who for the first time re-
vealed himself as an Annexationist, tie.
nounced in moat vigorous terms the con•
elusions arrived at in my report, "that
Orangemen should he true to their ob-
ligation, anti true to their Queen and
country." That he had miscalculated on
support from the Orange:nen belonging
to this section of the province, is clearly
evident from the fact that not a single
man in our ranks, either in thia comity
or province, has identified himself with
the Annexation movement, which is so
carefully nursed and watched over by
interested parties here and in the
United States.
It is also a matter to he deeply re-
gretted that Professor tioldwin Smith,
a man of marked ability and high liter-
ary attainments, should continue his
(Bons to change the allegiance of the
people of Canada. .Just think for a
moment what public elan in the Uuited
States date continue year by year, to
advocate the annexation of that country
to Canada or Mexico. Such a man
might be tolerated for a few weeks, but
it the law tied not step in and close his
mouth, the people of the locality where
he resided would,to their eternal credit,
as citizens loyal to their own country,
give him about twenty•four hours' notice
to depart, or in default he would he
escorted to the borders of the United
States and given a vigorous parting
salute. It surely cannot be said that
t',e people of Canada are less patriotic
in a matter of such great moment
to their future welfare? •There certain,
ly must be a limit to all such traitorous
movements and that limit appears to
have been reached when Annexation
clubs have been formed openly, not only
in the city of Toronto, but in several of
the towers of the Province of
Ontaritl. 1t looks•-• as it we would
have in the near future a re•
dealing with hill, of course. And he
is dealing with men and aucietiee out
side the Orange Order. But the
Orange Order will have its say, too,
1Vhile that elder cannot expel him,
they can and will brand him by resole
tion and vote as a political harmattau,
ready to sell into bondage and
slavery a free people, and will
certainly back up to the bitter
end every word Robert lliemiughani
has uttered. "The next battle may ile
fought at the polls." Yee, and if it is
Grit and Tory Orangemen wilt not be
found wanting. They will be found
shoulder to shoulder, no matter who
the Leader may be. They are staunch
defenders of British connection and
Protestant asceudaucy and Tee NEwa•
ltEoottt is proud 10 say so. Annex-
sti001et8 will never, no never, find any
quarter in the Orange lodge room.
Robert Birmingham will long be
revered as a man who has done much
for the Orange Institutive, a vast good
for his country, and one who auuex
atiouivls and treason -mongers cannot
traduce. Here's to Birmingham 1 If
the Siynal is sincere it cannot
do otherwise than consent to
have two Cetilolice and one Protestant
sit on and arbitrate on the points at

Ole bait," Mr. Sigiutl. Read the
straightforward challenge :—
MR. D MCGILLiCUDDY,
Editor Signal, Goderich, Opt.
S!R,—Ire last week'a isrue of your
paper, I notice that you pay consider-
able attention to my recent report pre-
sented to the Grand Orange Lodge of
Ontario West, and to myself person-
ally. You have also made a uunber
of statements therein, which are abso-
lutely false, and without foundation.
Having thia in view, I have consulted
eminent legal authorities, and are ad-
vised by them that the article in gnes-
tern is so written that [ might find it
difficult to prove it suflicieutly libellous,
so as to recover demagog and coats. I
tun therefore constrained to proceed in
a dill' -:rent limner, and will now make
you the following proposal :
"firm. the article in question be sub•
milted to three gentlemen who will
cuuduct an enquiry into its truth or
falsity; and -in the event of you prov-
ing the correctness of your statements,
I aril prepared to pay the costs of the
said enquiry, and also to hand over
the sent of Fifty Dillars ($5(1) to any
charitable institution, named by them,
in the town of Goderich.
"On the rlontrary, if they find that
your statements aro false and mali-
cious, then you shall pay the costs of
the enquiry, and also make an ample
apolugy through the columns of your
journal."
As I am the person traduced in this
cane, I think it but fair that I should
have the right of naming the commit-
tee of enquiry ; and would therefore
name—His honor, the Judge of the
County of Huron ; the present Warden
of the County of Huron ; and the pres-
ent Mayor of the town of Goderich.
Waiting your reply, and the insertion
of this letter in the next issue of your
paper, I ani, sincerely yours,
ROBERT BIRMINGHAM.

self capable of "shirking the vote"

East I-luron will remember the

CURRENT TOPICS.
Tho people invariably liko leaders
who know their minds. Hon. N. Clark
Wallace knows his mind pretty well
and is not afraid to express it. Just
fancy such men as renegade I) twsou,
Davin, Sir ltichatd Cartwright, Laurier
and the Glit party voting the
Sovereign Grand Master a disloyal
British subjectt The rote stool 74
yeas and 105 nays. \Vannes stood by
his guns end came out without a sci etch.
The plotting of the disloyal Grit party
has thus received another check.
Fire brand annexationiets of Canada
should be granted a free pass to Gen nese°
couuty across the line. The farmers
there s'outly assert that a ball
of fire appeal's in Elba tuwu
each night and eluate around in the air
or rolls along the ground. It is said
to be about twice the size of a locomo-
tive headlight and to be per reedy
round. The fire eater annexationist
of the Gudolich Sionul would do well
to take notice and govern himself
accordingly.
Our local totem does not seem to
'have much regard for truth. Last
week the Erle said :—
'•I0 a speech at Kingston the other
day, Mr: N. • Clark Wallace intimated
that the Orangemen of Canaria were
prepared to go to Ireland and resist
Home Rule by force of arms, if neees•
eery."
111r. Wellace said nothing of the
kind. It would be alo..t as reasonable
to say that the"active aid" recently and
now being given in Canada, in the way
of fund', to assist Edward Bieke and
Home Rule, is Meant to "retrial Union
by force of arms."
The claptrap motion of the Oppoei•.
lien test Tuesday was a miserable
failure. The scheme was deep and
well laid to censure the Government
and a direct elap at the Orangemen of
the Dominion. "The late lamented
Mr. Riel" was iutrodaced in the dis-
01188iou by the "loyal" Opposition and
race hatred and religious bigotry were
freely fanned for party triumph. But
Riel's grave retuned to open and the
game did not work with success. The
motion wan brought forward while going
into committee of supply. In this way
it could be made a want of confidence
motion. Wallace stood by his guns
and won. Ile is a worthy descendant
of the name. The Opposition, like the
thief, have been caagtlt redhanded
while declaring "thou art the min."
"In this respect he (Hon. N. C.
Wel lace) end Elgin Myers were exactly
on the seine fouling." Tiles° are the
words of our local totem. in referring
to Hon. N. C Wallace and his remark.
at Kingston. Exactly on the same
footing RS Elgin. M,yera, eh i Let us
see. ,Ayers advocates the annexation
of Canada to the American IRepnblic—
the sevorenes of the British Empire.
Wallace advocates the unity of the
British Empire and is obligated
to do so. Myers was sworn to
defeud and uphold British supra•
macy, but he violated his trust,
preached treason and got the bounce.
Wallace preached unity, held sacred
his oath and was sustained by Parlia-
ment, hut not by the Grit party. Tho
Grand Master and M3 ere are on exactly
different footing—they are as far apart
as the north pole and the sunny south.
According to the interpretation of our
local totem. the Hon. Joseph Howe,
the great Nova Scotian, would be on
the same footing ns annexationist
Myers. But the ordinary reader can
see the difference. The great Nova
Scotian is a Canadian first, last, and
all the time. Listen to his lan-
guage
"Could we join in the celebration of
American festivals, every one of which
is a disgrace to the arms that have pro.
tected us, and not oppressed us, ever
!ince we had a hut or a foot of land to
defend 7 Could we throw up our cape
on the 4th of July and hail with triumph
a day that made our forefathers out,
casts and wanderers on the earth
Could we join heart and hand with a
republic which fell upon the rear of
Britain when her front was presented to
hostile Europe in a struggle for the
liberties of the world ? Were we to per-
mit the American flag to float over our
soil, if the bodies of our fathers did not
leap from their graves, their spirits
would walk abroad over the land and
blast us for such unnatural violation."
