Underlaying the publicity given . to the Ellis case in Ontario is political feeling. This is unfortunate, as it pre- vents a perfect understanding of the filets and a quiet judgment as to whether Ser. Ellis deserved his punish- ment; whether that punishment was warranted or vindictive. The great majority of the papers which have espoused Mr.' Ellis' cause know noth- ing of the facts, have never seen the charges he made against the Judge, while those who have kept their hi- • formation largely to themselves and . if they publish at all, do so in such a - mutilated form as to afford but little real information of the exact libels, we believe there was more than one, from which the punishment resulted. It is well to bear in mind, says the Galt. Reporter, that the public will not pro- nounce on this matter or t'.ake sides effectively, as a people, notes a political .party desirous of obtaining political capital, until it clearly sees that the judiciary has exercised a power in its hands harshly and vindictively: As to the question of the heavy costs Mr. Ellis is called upon to pay, it must he borne in mind that they resulted from his carr ying his case from court to court in the hope of a reversal verdict • and in the fact that the decision of those courts sustained the sentencing Judge, lies the gravest reason why the general pnblic, while regretting such a • ease should have arisen, sees reasons to• withhold stern reproof and active sympathy. It may riot be out of place to quote - here a resolution passed at a late meet- ing of the Press Association, merely] premising that this association is com- posed' of a few who by no means re- present the press of Ontario, and which S3 far has prom ed of little use ; in fact, • while there is something of impf'ove- ment in its objects, owing to criticism during the past few years, it is still a useless feature of association life, and one which most thorough newspaper Men laugh at and avoid :— "Moved by Mx•.

DICKINSON I. 7'IIE..iL1 N. The signs of- the times are that E.i.st Huron will be redeemed. The Con- servatives of the Riding met at Brussels on i uosday of)ast week and unanimous- ly nominated E. L. Dickinson, of Wing - ham. He is a man of irreproachable character and clean record. The Re- form candidate is not yet in the field. There • is disaffection in the Grit cramp. The "old member” wilt be shelved is the wu'a-pulIer3 sn^.cas:l. W. II. Kerr, of Brussels, is laying the pavement to secure the nomination. The future can only disclose the result. The Conserva- tive nominee can win East Huron, All our friends want is confidence. Now, East Huron, take hold. Up guards and at'enl, The victory is yours.. "A PIECE OF IMPERTINENCE." Our town cotem, the New Era, is greatly alarmed about the "tariff -in_ quirt' Iu flew iews." It says :— "It seems as if a determined effort is made at nearly all of these inter- views to brow -beat and offend those who do not fall in line with the high tariff _advocates. Men have gone to these meatiugi with the intention of expressing their honest convictions, and have endeavored so to do, but any one reading, the reports of the meetings can see at a glance that the Ministers of the Crofm'n are not anxious to get at the truth; they are more anxious to secure opinions in Iine with t heir own without any regar'cl to them being true. And, further, they are but servants of the people, elected by the people, and have no right to dictate to those who are actually their masters." • THE NEWS-REDORD can"hardly rea- lize that the New Era is of the fool -class. If a witness deliberately and kuowing- Iy lies or through ignorance states what is not true, it would be worse than a -crime to ellow the lie to go unchalleng- ed. Last week, for instance, we point- edeout that witnesses at Barrie were ready to swear t.hat.the' Canadian tariff was 33 per cent., while all honest peo- ple Note that it is only 176 per cent. And the witness was compelled to take it all ,jack. The New Era is pleas- ed to rise in holy horror and style these interviews "A Piece .of Impertinence.'' We are surprised that newspapers and people would place themselves in such deceiving positions. But such journals as the .Globe and our cotetu. are responsible for so 'much ignorance about Canadian affairs. People who would swear that they would rather pay $125 for American binders than $85 or $100 for a superior Canadian binder should leave Canada. They are not good citizens or even • or- dinary business inen and will be a fail- ure in any country. These "honest convictions" our cotem- is so very fond to parade are after all very dishonest; convictions that require the rays of heaven's -truthful sun to shine on. ,What can intelligent electors expect :when the partisan party organs and leaders of the'Reformparty preach so mach deception? The object of the Ministers of the crown and Controllers is to get at the truth, as we saki last week. And if witnesses give as evi- dence statements that are not true are Tree', PEOPLE'S representatives to allow deception and fraud to go unchallenged? We say no, most emphatically. They would ho unworthy and violate thea' sacred trust were they to do so. Still the Ministers of the Crown are charac- terized as "impertinent" because they check those who do not tell the trnth. What we want in politics—from the Reform leaders and press—is the truth even though the devil should he put to shame. Both should rather encourage their followers to be truthful and assist the ministers in their interviews to get at the truth. But in the tariff -reform agitation such assistance would only place the party of Many policies in an unenviable position. The Grit press—our town cotem. particularly—is very anxious to know whether Hon. J. C. Patterson, our member, will contest West Huron again. If Mr. Patterson's opponent's will but hold their soul in peace until the proper time arrives their minds will be relieved. To all intents and pur- poses Hon. Mr. Patterson is in the field and will stop there until after the next election. The Dominion elections will not likely be on for a couple of years to. come. Hon. J. C. Patterson is the man fpr West Hut'on and will again be elected. Don't make any mistake about that: le NOVI Up ta date ' t * NkaitaalirOnteleo its aresettteditstrtral a atuaa enterer, late ' treated 4M nderichSigna tvltlunit 1� a respect that paper deserves.

He knows all the "ropes" aud;•now trumps up hellish plots of blackmail and crime against those who aro laurel and decent. The editor of the Sigual • is not only false in his utterances but unmanly. A man of the low dive and guttersnipe stamp of the editor of the Signal is not competent to talk on matters of an ele- vating tendency. He may be compet- ent• to talk about gambling dens of iniquity for reasons best known to him- self. He mays be competent to talk abotit whiskey and the like because he in youthful days and later years learn- ed the "ropes.' And the result of all these indiscretions are ,,to be seen still later in the ntitings of the "political gambles who swears that he is not art other people.' Gambling in politics is as great a crime as gambling in the depths of disaster. And the "emascul- ate" editor of of our cotem. has taken a J`full course," from start to finish. Is it an wonder then that the Reform party of West Huron are thoroughly disgust- ed with and ashained of the Signal. To illustrate : A contest was on not many years singe in this Riding. A speaker was required and the "political gambler"way recommended. "What!" replied his admired Header, "That d— f—? He will do we more harm than good !" So the "gambler" renhained at home. When the electors of Goderich desire any measure parried or any man elected, the racket is worked to s•Jeuro the Signal's opposition and success is assurer. The "gambler" has been too long in the business to help any molal or elevating cause. ' And from his own friends the proof comes. CUIU ?E ti 7' TOPICS. Two farmers in the Sarnia neighbor- hood recently exchanged farms. Thus two "deserted farms" arc' added to the Grit calamity list. It is ruuiorecl that the Ontario govern- ment following the precedent establish- ed by the plebi.+cite mill theoe, the (wet of the next provincial election on the several municipalities. The Exeter Times professes to know and says that Mr. Bishop will again secure the convention for South Huron in the Local. There is evidently not very much harmony in the Reform camp since the wire -pullers 'have push- ed to the front their livid operations. Principe' Grant. likes to t•d -: ;:.bout the I n tercolon ial rail way, the post office department and deficits. Would it not be in order to explain Principal Grant's Queen's University deficit of $12,000 in much less time than a natural term of parliament? It might prove as direct result of bbd management. The Grit papers are making a tromen-, dons fuss because the Winnipeg, bye - election must be held on an o1(1 list of vet ers. It would, of course, be more satis- factory to have the list of•voters up to date ; but there is no advantage to the Conservative party in an old list. It is as fair for one party as another. Grits don't die off any faster than Conser- vatives in Winnipeg. It has been decided by the Judges of the Supreire Court that judgment in the Manitoba School case shall be de- livered early in the February term of the sitting of the court. Chief Justice Strong, who has six months leave of absence, will go south for a while, probably to the \Vest Indies, but will return In time to take his seat on the bench to enable the court to render judgment during the February term. "Stick 'um -tight," our esteemed and "highly -seasoned" cotem., the "fence - c wner" jockey editor of the Goderich Signal, has yet failed to give any proof that THE NEWS -RECORD stole the Northwestern prize list from the Star. Satan, the imp who is not morally or politically responsible for what he says, swallows the lie when cornered. A second"fence-corner" christening might prove as good as a midnight decking in the briny deep. P.S.—The Signal will please copy. Hamilton Spectator :—"If the King- ston Whig is realmy'anxious to find Mr. Meredith it may discover him in his law office at Toronto. Mi•. Meredith finds it necessary to work for a living, and has to stick pretty close to his shop. There is no reason why he should be doing otherwise just now. He will probably be in his place when the Local Legislature gleets, and will likely be very much in evidence during the coming election campaign. The Whig will have no dif linty in finding him after the next election. A letter ad- dressed to Hon. W. R. Meredith, Premier of Ontario, Toronto, York county, Ontario, will find him." The trade returns for the month of October and for the four months of the present fiscal year were issued by the Customs Department Nov. 17th. The exports for the month show an increase over the corresponding month last year of $2,259,656, which to h certain extent reduces the decrease for the four months. The value of the exports so far this yetar is $52,741,554, as against 1 It t sting txtomttlttt ar v ncl Ott al• 4122 against 4tilt iilere ,sh; 4ihneau1 twa runlet 11.0. `The £ltit .. c.ol- li tit t rat yeax mono.k'•ed to ir/ W! e4jx,' t . getmp t wi ll<;07,410,tlla .. fon The fiignail lQe1*ey le eoz'eiy•afftipte4., 74ia Pupgazmott:. fence. cr'oc'het' Chet poo e• wits only al •uontinuatiQ2 „ot 0:10 sad story of azoic yQughtfitti fttt.isgxtztiott;l, It is not to be wondered at, theta, that the deadly disease "breaks out in spots" ctuito fret columns la the of tate Signal. if the electors of t oderieh w:ll only keep the "blackguard" and lying •jockey from the infer:eons "south boundary" for a month or six weeks the dread disease may be worked off, Otherwise an early departure to the depths of disaster awaits the jockey. The First Minister at Ottawa by last week's mail received letters from Hon. Mackenzie Rowell. The Minister of Trade and Commerce is highly gratified by .the cordiality of his reception at Sydney and hopeful that good results will follow his mission to the Antipodes. Mr. Rowell says it is truly marvellous what an awakening of interest in Can- ada and Canadians has occurred in Aus- tralia during the past few months, and he is exceedingly pleased at the satisfac- tory response as regards the sentiments of the Governments and the people to the Canadian overtures.

The annual meeting of the West Huron Liberal Conservative Associa tion takes place in Goderich on Tues- day, Dec. 12th, commencing at 11 a. m. The departure from the old custom of meeting at Carlow is causecl by the want of. proper accourodaation for the delegate( horses. Nine fellow creatures are in the county jail because they have no other home. As this is the season for preach- ing missionary and Thanksgiving ser- mons, might not our ministers as an introduction try and awaken a mission- ary spirit among those who vote against a House of Refuge. It is only in Christian Canada thatthe infirm and aged poor are imprisoned for life and when all is o'er placed iu a cheap coffin and dumped in apauper's grave.

Marks, of Listowel, went •up town leaving two small children, aged two and four respectively, locked in the house. The children got playing with matches and set fire to the bedclothing.
