The duty and mianiou of the press is generally supposed to be to guard the intereets of the maims. Sotne news- paper men do not seem to realize that their writings, implied or otherwise, should command the respect and serious consideration of the whole people. For instance, we point out to one journal or the other, that it `has made statements that are not true or in ac cordanee with facts and chastise the deluded or degraded public instructor as any decent journal should. Another paper makes an onslaught tinged and fringed and dyed with Tying deception and the public aro told in cold blood that all is sacredly true. THE NEWS - RECORD repudiates the falsehoods and demands the proof. We believe in being just and true to all mea. We know that we, as well as they, sooner or later, must meet our Maker and give an account of ourstowardship. We do not and cannot judge the future of our fellow beings. But we can and do judge matters in this sinful world of which we positively know. THE NEWS -RECORD has received in some respects kind treatment from our brethren of the press since the present editor assumed the entire man agement of this journal. In some re- spects we have not. However,the latter class of false and malicious writers will not alter our course or deter us from telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. THE NEWS -RECORD is pointed to as a purely Protestant journal, a newspaper that will not give Roman Catholics justice. Tho charge is made because un scrupulous bigots desire to bring grist to their own mill while they themselves profess to he true Christian Protestants, following only the meek and lowly Jesus Christ. The Protestant religion is the correct religion, we believe. It is the religion of our birth—the religion we defend and support. If any of our patrons cannot support THE NEws-1ccono on that account, they are at liberty to withdraw their support from it. If any. of .our professing Proteatant exchanges do not like THE NEWS•REcoRn—and there are a few wh.l do not—we are quits willing to strike their names oil' our list in order that wo may not hurt their finer feel- ings. Ve are not opposed.. to our fellow Roman Catholic citizens. But we are opposed to the religion and machinery of the Roman Church, just tho same as Roman Catholics are op- posed to the Proteatant retTg.jon, We are opposed to all Fenians and rebel Canadians and this particularly rubs and grates the finer feelings of a ,portion of the press of the County of Huron. We cannot help it. An unholy alliance of Grit and rebel writers in this county fall in line and bow the knee to Baal in order that the assassin's midnight knife tray be plunged to the hilt into a fellow journalist for party purposes. Shame upon such tactics 1 Shaine upon eoealled public benefactors who pro - fees the Protestant Christian religion. These same Grit journals go on from day to day denouncing, from the Globe down to the Nen Era and Catholic Record, the Young Britons, the Orange- men, the I. P. B. A., the P. P. A., and a hundred and one other benevolent institutions which are of Protestant heritage or inclination We have several Protestant churches. There are Proteatant preachers who preach iu them. And we believe they practice all they preach. Local preachers are licensed to spread the light and declare the gospel of Jesus Christ and some of then] denounce, not in the pulpit, but iu the prose, all these Protestant Socio - ties. Are they Proteetauts 1 Do they know anything of any si'iyle one of theseiilstitutions1 No ! These,♦•titers have never set their foot or feet inside the sanotuaty. These same people profess to the world to be Protestant Christians and denounce professing Christian bodies of then whose Constitutions they will not believe, or whoa) solemn declarations they refuse to accept. And these people will ask the whole world to accept their teaching and preaching as corning from a pure heart, from men who are worthy followers and teachers of the only Savior of the world. It greatly pains the editor of THE NEws RECORD to write in this way. But we will never desert our poet ofduty to hold and spread to the world the truth. These professing Protestant. Christians are liars and the truth is not in thein. They will not face a square issue. The positive proof will never bo offered to back up their professed sincere statements. THE NEWS -RECORD is a Conserva- tive journal, but it is not bound body and soul to back up or endorse any Party. We believe in being just to all mon and all parties and Societies. It maters not whether they be Masons, Orangemen, Maccabees. Foresters, Borne Circle, 1'. P. A., I, P. B. A , Temperance, Political, Roman Catholic or any other body of respectable people. A portion of the press do not see how a news- paper can be 80 consistent, The circulator of a political lie has recently been punished in England, though the lie originated in the United States. During the recent presidential campaign a roorback was gotten up that larg3 sums of money were sant to the Cobden Club of England to buy votes for the Democratic party. This was circulated all over the States, and on the eve of the election a reputable New York importer of woollens was named as the man who brought over the British gold, A news agency telegraphed the 'statement to London and it was printed there. The im- porter brought suit for libel in London against the news agency and the case has just been settled by the agency making apology and agreeing to pay 81,000 to some charity to be agreed upon and costs amounting to some $3,000 more. A more aggravated politicil and mali- cious lie has been circulated by the New Era regarding the Conservative Party in \Vest Huron. That journal should sleet the fate of the lying news agency ad it has tacitly admitted the falsity of its statements by decliningto furnish any proof of it whatever,though THE NEWS- REcorD has held out sub stantial inducements to have ourcotem. act up to its Christian, rnoral,aye, legal, obligations. AI mouth or so ago the Near Era made grave charges against the Con- servative Party on the apparent strength of a proven perjurer. We challenged our totem, in this language on April 12th :— "Tea News-Rocono will pay $50 for any charitable purpose In the town et Clinton it the Am Era will prove under oath before any Majistrate or Comntie- eloner or court that. the Conservative party aro re- sponsibleiter (lore', charges against Mr. M. C. Cameron. Our (totem. said last week that the Conservative party were responsible. This offer will bold good for"one month, and it the New Era fano to substantiate the charge the public can only place our eotem along with a very undeoirdbie class of people—Ilar,. We earnestly Lope our ootom will not hesitate to protium the proof, for positive proof le what Tirt. News -Racoon is atter." As an honest newspaper, our cotem. was expected to produce reasonable proof. On April 14th tho New Era replied in this hellion :— "The New Ere doe, not consider that it is called npon to prove anything an to the responsibility for Gore's statements, and the aotionn of Tits News- Roconn are simply for the purpose of diverting atten- tion from its own humiliating connection with the affair t e f- la.1N>tity aaobt? rya iS$OR AP 1r0R +04, cad laethttt fprRlx, it utaT ttab, tbatoata rtra Whatever tp UItga, bpi it otopgt attar thq etatettteute of rlistivea 414§e, eta tiro Ip1preaeieri ex(Rting iu tbt' yubth chuff Ronti'aq tq 1ts 9!U Ileo of ar$urt nt,'r The luestiort -is one of truthfulness and rut; N ws IREColp will not allow a0ctteati0na such aa our Worn. made to be side tracked- In order to not allow our cotem. to forget our challenge we said in these columns on April I9th "Last week THE Nrwe-REeemn challenged the Nete .bra to make good or produce proof to back twits Charlie/ against the Conservative Party. W. were so ainoete in rnikintt the challenge that we offered $30 for any ubaratab!e purpose iu the town o1 Clinton if the proof would be forthcoming. A public newspaper that obargee any body of men with a grave offence against seelety is generally looked upon as having the mammary, proof to subatad"tirtte its charges, else such obargee would never be made. Tis Nrws-REoonn for litany yearn has bad evidence strong as holy writ as to the utter unreliability of our (totem. in matter. of politics. On this account we gave our eotem. a month to produce proof under oath. Dues the New Era say it has the proof ? No. Doe, that paper say it will produce evidence? No. Does our totem. say it will endeavor to make out a case 1 No. It simply rune away from the issue and in effect deelaree that it accused the Conservative Party falsely and Is not sorry for it. The writer has for sumo time been a member of the Exeoutive of the West Huron Liberal Conservative Asnoelation and we claim to positively know that the cowardly statements which we chal- lenged have no foundation. The New Era has certainly wilfully and mallolosely deceived the public. Our offer le still open and will be for three weeks longer. Our (totem. Is urgently invited toprodnee proof for its aouueatione or let ice editor retire to the rear and ktok himself for makiug euoh an ass of him• eelt and so wilfully deceiving the public." • Receiving no reply or apology frons our (totem. and knowing full well that THE NEWS RECORD had truth and justice on its side, 'Ne still further said on April 26th :— "Our town (totem., although two week's have passed has yet failed:to produce proof that the Censer votive Party are responsible for Gore's charges against Mr. M. C. Cameron. We gave the editor of the New Era a month to do so, two weeks have passed and our cetera. is silent. We shall see what the remaining two weeks will brinp. If our eotem. is prepared to step into the witness box and testify under oath to something that is absolutely Wee wo shall see what we shall see. Some people for partisan politiool triumph wilisay anything but swear to nothing. They know their bald assertions are devoid a partielo of truth. Bring on the proof." And still the New Era remained as dutub as a nail. The object of our cotetn., apparently, was to strike honorable opponents "below the belt," to gain a point at the expense of truth, the safeguard to freedom. Here a large body of men—respectable men and good citizens—are charged with a reprehensible crime, and .the news- paper that makes the e;.arge remains dumb when challenged openly to pro due,a the proof. In order to clear up the matter THE ' NEWS -RECORD, ou May 3rd, held out extra iuducementa to secure the proof from our cotem. as follows :— "Throe weeks ago Tile News-REConn offered to pay 850 for any eh aritable purpose to the town of Clinton if the N.0 Era would prove under oath before any .00mmissioner or magistrate or court its assertions that the Conservative Party were renpoosible for Gore's charges against Mr. M. C. Cameron. The only reply has been "that Tits NEws-Marano could keep its $3u up for six months," If the offer is not eetie- faotery, we will increase the amount to any ecru from $50 to 8.100, and we will give bonds to pay the money to any charitable purpose the New Era may name, it the editor of that paper will make good under evi- dence and oath (as above stated) that the Coueervative Party are responsible for Gore's chargee against M. C. Cameron. TUE Nawe-lit:cuftn is not in the habit of making reckless charges against respectable people or public mon or bodies. ' Again, we invite our totem. to accept the challenge r r make ample apology to the body of mea it has vilified and slandered." And still our cotem. was suffering from paralysis and unable to speak. On May 10th THE NEWS RECORD allow- ed the matter to rest in the hope that the challenge would be accepted in the New Era of Friday. But we only waited to be disappointed. On May 10 a responsible gentleman wrote THE NEWS RECORD :— Dean Stn,—As an humble member of the great Conservative Party,permit no to thank you fur your manly and straight chaileoge to the rditor of the New Era in the matter of Gore's charges against M C. Cameron. The editor of the New Era mutt certainly have known that his grave chargee were untruthful, else he would have attempted at leant to have made out a case ere this. Surely a mouth was enough timo to prove a serious accusation against a largo and re- apectable body of 10011. Ae a lowly member of the tionservat,ve Party I am sure that there would not be any difficulty in securing $1,000 and plane it along with the $500 you have already offeredfor theproof I am indeed pained to know that Mr. Holman would etigmatige and slander ao many people and crawl away from supposedly sincere state meats without backing them up with any proof whatever when challenged to do so. I had long been a reader of the New Era and placed some confidence in its stato- mente, bnt hereafter I must conscientiously seek other and straight proof beforeI can plane confidence in any accnentions that paper may make against the Conservative Party. You have proven the Yew Era to be unreliable and it, accu+ations have liven proven to be cowardly. You deserve the thanks of the party In reply the New Era gives foreign extracts from outside papers roflectfng du the ability of the editor of THE NEWS RECORD. This journa does not claim any great ability. Every week, through its columns it speaks fur itself. It matters not to us, though, for a spade is a spade. "See how brethren love each other" will avail for little if the truth of ar.y question is at stake. THE NEws- RECORD will not lyingly take advantage of political opponents at any time. We regret exceedingly that THE NEWS - RECORD, 8e a public journal, has felt constrained to force our cotetn. into such a humiliating position. The New Era, if desiring to be honest, will now apologise to the ,nen it has vilified. -It remains to be seen that it will not and that it is not honest iu its accusations against the Conservative Pirty. '1'he Conservative Party, we repeat, had nothing whatever to do with Gore's charges against Mr. Cameron. THE CANADIAN MARKET. We mean of course the market in Britain, During the last ten days a great amount of stock has been shipped from tide and other localities for Britain. Last week there were shipped from Montreal no less than 4,700 head of cattle, 101 eheep and 28 horses. The prospects are bright. CURRENT TOPICS. There has been nothing of an ex- citing nature in the Ontario House during the past week. The principal work aeelila t0 have been to continue to fake from township, village, town, county and city councils the powers ';euoh belong .ta. then),, How l'ong"tlio� nta9sea. will a allow their righle to be taken front then) itis bard to. qay. Surety not much longer, A short gime ago we were assured iu the most positive manner that the coat of the Hew Parliament buildings iu To• route would not exceed 81,250,000 at the very outside. True aaeuraace had been previously given that the expen- diture would be limited to 8750,000 and later on to a million. But this lateen announcement was made with unusual solemnity and with every possi• ble guarantee as to its finality. Thum - day, however, the Hon. Mr. Fraser was forced to admit that 81,300,000 will be required, in it will not be surprising now if the finally .final estimate reaohea the round million and a half. Mr. Kerr has now been named for the Local on the Reform ticket for West Huron. It is a well known fact that Mr. Garrow, the present member, does not like politics and would much rather be out of,political turmoil. Some Reformers go so far as to say that Mr. Garrow will not ocnteet the Rid• ing again. The East Huron Gazette, e paper that should know something about that Riding, remarks: "Mr. Kerr is a tine fellow and any constituency would be safe in his hands, hut he is hardly likely to succeed in getting nominated in East Huron—and it might prove unfortunate for him if he did. But his chances ought to be good in West Huron where he would serve as the much-needed leaven to the lumpy politics of that riding." The Reform condidate in West Huron, whoever be may prove to be, will have a very hard fight to hold the Riding for Sir Oliver. A bill has been introduced into tl:e Ontario Legislature to prevent frauds in milk. Any person who sells milk skimmed or partly sour is liable to a fine not less than $1 and not more than $50. There is a provision that this shall not prevent the sale of ekimmcd milk where the sante is skimmed to the knowledge of the buyer. Any person defrauded is to have the, right to re- cover damages by civil process. In Clinton there is no cause for complaint We believe wo are supplied with the. purest and best milk of any town in the Dominion. No doubt there will be plenty of room fur the bill to enc• cessfully operate in cities and large towns throughout the province. A couple of 'letters signed respec• tively "Hub" and "Wall Eye" appear- ed in our last week's issue. Some parties in Goderich have taken offence at their publication as having been too personal. A letter this week in reply to the one signed "Hub" of last week, appears eigned "West Street horse Dealer'." It is altogether too personal., butes the party feelssorely aggrieved we consent to its publication. -:1'11E NEWS - RECORD has no desire to injure any one in the circular town, or any where else, for that ]natter. The letters of "Hub" and "Wall Eye", as occasionally hap• pens in the 'natter of corieepondence, were published under a misapprehen- sion and without malice towards any ORO. THE NEWS -RECORD, as a public and fair journal, would exceedingly re- gret to find that it had, through any correspondent, injured any person. We cannot, personally, see that the publication of the letters referred to were injurious to any person. Just as we go to press the following resolu• tions passed by Eureka Council, R. T. of T., has been received: Relolred, "Whereas a journal publish- ed in Clinton known as THE NEWS - RECORD and purporting to he 't re- spectable public organ has published an article making tt most disrespectful and unjust reference to a member of t -itis fraternity, we desire to place ourselves on record as follows : First,—We condemn in most unstint- ed pleasure th15 disgraceful aspersion of a conscientious laborer for the, good of society, and the furtherance of:our cause. Second --We consider that, rho' this article may really .have been a•colu- rnunication, that the 'Editor of said pa- per deserves our severest, censure for publishing the stupe, and unless an ap- pology is promptly inserted we feel compelled to consider this journal un- worthy of recognition and patronage, and a foe to temperance and the well- being of society.
