ABOUT OURSELVES.
THE NEWS -RECORD is improving in
appearance. Next week this paper
-will appear in ak new dress of British -
Canadian type, manufactured by the
Socttish letter -founders, to Her Majesty
the Queen, Messrs. Miller & Richard,
'We have no exouses to offer in doing
so, except that we are celebrating our
anniversary ahead of time. As in the
past, THE NEWS -RECORD will contiuue
. among the leading, papers of the Pro_
• vince. If the faithful yeomanry and
loyal subjects of this section desire this
paper and any city weekly, at a great
sacrifice, read our offer in another
column. THE NEwS-RECORD leads all
rivals in price, and in quality and
quantity of news. We give better
value, positively, than any other paper
for the money. Fancy any city paper
and THE NEWS -RECORD, a year and a
quarter for only $1.75. Or the celebrat-
ed Ladies Journal and this paper for
$125 -the price of one. All the great
premiums are thrown in. The greatest
offers in the history of journalism.
THE NEWS -RECORD is in the frontrank
for quantity, quality and price and will
always be there.
THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT.
For several months the people of On-
tario have centred their thoughts on
Dotniniein matters. It is quite proper
and in fact necessary that the electors
should -be interested in Dominion poli -
tic's. But we are apt to have our
minds centred on the " Dominion
while our strict attention should be
• fixed on the responsible heads of the
Ontario Government. There is no Igo_
sonable prospect of a Dominion elec-
tion within the next two years, be-
cause the natural term of •parliament
will not expire until after that date.
-The Reform t press have repeatedly
" uttered warnings to be ready as the
.. Dominion elections were soon to be on.
And this partisan press would 'give a
thousand and one unreasonable reasons.
Allthis has been done,',;, r purpose of
ablindfold. at. O
- The term of .the ', t.r" .!, Gitverntneut
willexpire accordia slaw next spring,
The Ontario elec.,ons must take place
between'ntiw anil(May. The Assembly
swill iiltd1, . have another session and
• lithe dissolution will immediately follow.
0"There is murmurings that Sir Oliver
..,•desires to retire from public life, but he
-swill endeavor to hold the party to -
,s gether and remain Preinidr until after
the coming struggle at the polls.
There are many sound, common-sense
-."reasons why Mr. Meredith should re-
place the present extravagant and
'truckling Mowat'Administraation. The
sItublic accounts are lasting proofs of
'Intransigence. Mr. Gaarr(sv, M. P. P.
for West Huron, who by the way is a
clever lawyer, although claming inde-
pendence presumably to bring support
to the party, is not independent enough
tb spore the party bosses in Ontario for
their reckless expenditure of the peo-
. tile's money and the scandalous license
ystetn. We are told by M. P.P's. and
the Reform press that stringent econ-
..onty. narks the long carreer of the
'Vowel Government. We fail to see it.
But perhaps it might he better to go
into a little detail. Instead of economy
the public records show a constant in-
C.rease. A sample of their economy is
shown in their administration of the
• 'Crown Lends Department. The ex-
- • endidure in this department from 1875nge
` to 1883 was $895,276. During that ti
'.5,803 'persons settled in the province.
-From 1881 to 1891 the expenditure
Peaches a sum of $1,011,876, whilst the
ee ber of persons braking settlements
• so,- 838. so that
for their supporters and in this way
our finances are "economised," or
rather the province is plundered.
In looking over our license system
we find that the Government has found
it necessary .to appoint a great manysnore of their party pets to offices in
this branch. In 1884 there were 4,103
licenses issued at a cost of $57,650, In
1892 there was issued 3,525 licenses, or
540 less, but they cost us $77,130, a n in-
crease of 34 per cent., notwithstanding
the decrease in the number issued.
From 1875 to 1883 the total amount re-
ceived by the Government front licenses
was $801,031. In the nine years follow-
ing, however,, the receipts from this
satire source amounted to $2,228,771, so
that the government received $1,421,720
more during the last nine years than
during •the ten previous years. And
every cent of this money was taken
from our municipalities. I❑ 1883 the
amount received for licenses "by the
Government was $94,t60, while in 1892
it had increased to the enormous
amount of $300,603, or an advance of
over 100 per cent.
In 1883 the receipts from Crown
lands were. $640,305. In 1892 they had
increased to $2,226,883, so that there
has been an increased drain on the cap-
ital of the Province in nine years of
over 250 per cent.
And yet we are told that the affairs
of the Province are being conducted
with care and economy. It is quite
clear that the maintenance of th•3
Mowat Government in Ontario entirely
depends upon frequent and enormous
raids into our forest wealth, and no one
who is at all familiar with the regions
left untouched by the despoiler doubts
that a halt roust very soon be called
to this reckless squandering of the only
real c�tipital the Province possesses.
SIRJOU.V A VD TILE T-4P,II h.
Canada requires certain revenues and
our argument is that it is better to
raise these by a customs tax on im-
ported articles such as we can produce
ourselves than on. those we cannot pro-
duce.
The tariff is intended primarily to
produce a revenue, but is so levied as to
give. incidental protection to native in-
dustries.
If WO put high duties on rice and raw
sugar, which we cannot produce, and
allow beef in free, the Americans will
supply our large cities with meats as
they did once before, and that market
will thus he lost to the farmers of Can-
ada.
We allow ra.w cotten and sugar to
come in free and tax the manufactured
article, which can be made .here by
Canadian hands.
Those who manufacture this cotton
and refine this sugar depend for their
three daily Inealseon the'farrners of Ca-
nada. Is it not better to have these
artizans here, supplying ouranricultur-
ists with a home market, than to pur-
chase the manufactured cotton and re-
fined Sugar from the American artis-
ans, who are fed by American farmers ?
The Liberals, on the other hand,
would tax the raw article and allow the
Imtnrifaetured in free, thusdisarirninat-
ing against our artizans.
r••
Undeour policy 90 percent. of the
sugar used in Canada is refined here,
andis sold ata price cheaper than that
which obtains in the States.
We (-an preserve our town markets
for our own people, at [east until you
can get stxrltothing in exchange for
them.
If we allow AttieAttie/loamAttie/loambeef and
wheat to comae in free it must be as a
rretainretainfor the free admission of our
latnlrs and barley to their market.
Further than this, we will not sacri-
fice the interests of Great Britain;
at. the risk of war to the wholeEmpire, hays so recently snstaittt'd our
interests in Behring Seas.
CURRENT' TOPICS.
Thanksgiving day has been gazetted
for Thursday, November 23rd.
Prerhiitr Sir John Thompson will
visit the Maritime Province. shortly

and address the electors at various
points in the Province of New Brunk-
wick.
'If we can rely eon the utterances of
the Liberal press Mr. Laurier has the
Quebec vote in his pocket. . The Op-
position leader's stand on the Riel and
Manitoba school questions no doubt
have made votes for the Grit
party in Quebec, but what have

should soap place a candidate la the
field. The prospects in West Huron
for Conservative victory never looked
better.
The direct taxes of the State of New
York this year are higher than they
have been in ten years. In 1891 the
amount,was $5,190,000, while this year
the figures run up to $10,418,192. How
would it do to annex Ontario to Ne*York State P Then our people wouldlearn something practical about the
sixty million market to their sorrow.
Mr. Laurier has the ability to talk
nonsense. Ho has also the ability to
deceive and is ra very dangerous politi-
cal trickster. Just now he is telling
the Quebec farmers that this country -
Canada --is in a worse position than
she was ill the blue ruin and never -to -
be -forgotten year 1878. And still his
co -religionists continue to emigrate
from the United States to Canada.
By the way, Mr. Laurier should bring
this fact to their notice. But he is too
shrewd to be honest. e
The Patrons of Industry of Smith
Grey held a convention at Durham on
Tuesday of last week rand nominated
Mr. D. McNichol of Bentinck as theist
candidate for the Ontario Legislature.
The Patrons are determined that there
shall be fewer lawyers and more farmers
in the local Legislature. And we don't
know where the determination could
be brought to a more successful result
than right here in West Huron. Pro-
bably Mr. Garrow had this in view
when he declared his "independence"
recently.
Occasionally we hear of "the church"
ruling everything moral, civil, and
religious, if you please. Even in
Quebec "the church" does not rule over
the judiciary. In the case of La-
flamme vs. O'Meara, which was an
action for $50,000, taken by Mr. La-
flamme, the ex -Minister of Justice,
against Father O'Meara of St. Gabriel
Church, Montreal, Que., whom he
charged with using defamatory lan-
guage by terming him an infidel and
enemy of the Church, the jury award-
ed Mr. Laflamme $100 damages with
costs. "The church" does not rule
everything. No, not even in Quebec.
For five y^ars -.:-,' haws o:tly added to
the debt at the rate of half a millionmillionyearly. During that time the current
expenditure of the Dominion has actu-
trally decreased $100,000. And yet we
have built the Sault canal at a cost of
$13,000,000, we have enlarged the St.
Lawrence 'canals and have given it mil-
lion a yyearto aid railway building.
How does the record of our opponimts
stand? In five years the Liberal Gov-
ernments in the provinces increased the
Provincial debt by $-10,000),010 and the
as :sial exit': nditure from eine ::1,1 a -
half to twelve and a quarter millions.
The Canadian farmer is with n:.
There is no doubt of it. He looks well.
His color is good. He is about as well
groomed, so to speak, :is any farmer on
earth. Poverty is not written on his
face -far fruin it.. His appearance
indicates prosperity, cheerfulness and
contentment. • Apparently things are
going right with hire. We judge that
his lines have been cast in pleasant
places, and -that he is now here to thor-
oughly enjoy the feast set before him.Individually he is to be honored and ad-
mired ; collectively he is a power in the
production of that which contributes to
the prosperity and happiness of than.
May his shadow never grow less 2 -Chi-

Argument in the appealed Manitoba
school arse was concluded in the
Supreme Court at Ottawa on Tuesday
of last week. Decision has been reserved. The Catholic minority claim
the right to educate their children in
separate schools, in which, if they so
desire, only French Wray be taught,to
the exclusion of English. The judg--
. nnent of the l'1 -ivy Connell. from which
the appeal was taken, declared that the
system was not in any
wary inconsistent with the rights of the'
minorityr'iminority- it regard to denominational
schools. It- is generally believed that
the appellants will be ordered to con-
form tet the public school laws of the
Ptery brae and Northwest Territories, to
submit to taxation for the support of
the public school system and to teach
English in all tlw'ir eclucaticnal institu-
tions.

A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR. -As mention-
ed in another column, the tea-meetingunder the auspices of L. 0. L. No. 800
on the pith inst. was a grand success.
Tho repeat last Wednesday was a de-
lightful affair and well patronized. The
highly satisfactory result demonstrates
quite clearly that the good old cause of
Orangeisiu is not un the wane in Gode-
rich township. And why should it be?
The principles the Order contends for
to -day are exactly the same as King
William of pious, glorious and iininort-
al memory successfully contended for
over two hundred years ago. Bro. M.
Sheppard, the worthy master,. occupied
the chair on Wednesday evening and
per•forirled. the onerous duties with
credit to himself and the lodge. The
chairman delivered an address, as also
did deputy -reeve Beacom, Henry Cook,
Peter Cole and. Geo. A. Cooper. There
was excellent singing by Miss Thomp-
son, Miss Beacom and Harry Comet.
There was to have been a contest fora
magnificent story cake on the Monday
evening, but the hour was too late and
the event carne off Wednesday. The
contestants were Miss Thompson and
Miss Steep. Both worked hard. At
the close of the poll the ballots were
counted and the one was as popular -
according to receipts -as the other.
The result of the vote was over $5.
For both inner feasts there were five
handsome story cakes and a grand
galaxy of good things tirade by Mts.

sincerely thanked by the brethren, as
also -were the singers, speakers, and all
who assisted to snake the affair such a

THAT CONVENTION.
Several limes we have received en-
quires about the recent Grit convention
held in Clinton. TUE NEws-RERORD
would have been preeent, but we were
informed and quite aware that our
presence was, neither required or desir-
ed. It is quite true that J. T. Gar -
row has been nominated for the Local
House and that he has accepted. He
accepted as an "independent" to
support the Government of Sir Oliver
Mowat, right or wrong. Some may
say Mr. Garrow is a peculiar "inde-
pendent." So he is. How many
times did Mr. Garrow vote against the
Mowat Government during the past
three or four years? He dons not say.
And he need not. Mr. Garrow is a very
decent fellow, but he is a partisan fol.
lower of Sir Oliver Mowat. He is an
``independent" partisan who only desires
enough votes to elect him. The close
vote at the last Ontario election in ,
West Huron cruses the plea to be put
forward that he fa "ihdependent" and
that he has worked, and worked to ad-
vantage, for the Riding. Let us have
the details. Pleas and statements are
very good, but give us the unveiled .
facto. In what way has J. T. Garrow,
M. P. P., been of service to West
Huron ? We cannot answer favorably
for the candidate. The old "stage
horse," Mr. M. C. Cameron, hae again
been nominated. He has accepted the
nomination "providing," este., which
tneane that Mr. Camerom does net
want it, Why elect • a candidate who
has no deeire to go to parliament 1
According to the printed report there
were about 80 delegates at the great
and burning end enthusiastic conven-
tion. They represented 80 votes per-
sonally amd of course some outside in-
fluence. We do not desire to disparage'
that influence or ridicule the import-
tance of the meeting. The meeting or
convention wee an important gathering.
So important that there should have
been many more present. They met
to nominato Mt. Cameron "if" he would
accept. °He accepts under pertain con-
dition°. The meeting was small.. Now
partisan papore declare that Coneerva•
tivee will vote the Reform ticket at the
next Dominion election. We challenge
the correctness of the 'statement. We
