Hodgen litttoit tut, PRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1894. It is said that a redistribution will ,give Hamilton two members for the • Legal Rouse,'' .The city may be enti- tled tosit, but there. are members enough in, the Douse already, andthere 'should be no increase anywhere. "Thera are surely not` many people Who now believe that protection can increase the prices of grain, although the .Conservative -papers: still try and delude their, readers on the point, but at, the.sanie time it is interesting to note khat in January 16, 1874 (when Mr ;; ItIacXeuizie .was in power)_wheat was selling at $1.34 a bushel. The latest rumor is to the effect that John Beacom, ex -deputy reeve of Goderich township, will run in South Huron, for the Local, as a Patron candidate. Nothing would .please the Liberals better than to have him do so, .but the idea of John Beacom being a "no politics" candidate is too absurd for serious consideration. The Appointment and Payment of Registrars•. In the Local House the ;other day, Mr Wood, of North Hastings, asked he Legislature to declare that the pay- ment of Registrars by fees is unsatis- factory, and that the appointment of such officials should be by popular elec- tion or by the municipal bodies. This resolution brought on a warm debate, in which Sir Oliver Mowat, Hon. G.W. Ross and Mr W. R. Meredith took part. The Governmer t defended the present system, while Mr Meredith took the opposite side. We have before ex- pressed the opinion that in the case of officials, we believe the fee system to be the preferable one, and feel con- vinced that the elector who thinks for himself will fail to see either advantage or justice in taxing the whole people to pay's salary to an officer who serves a ,,part of the people only. Thousands of Canadians never enter a registry of- -flee from the day of their birth to the day of their death. They buy and sell labor and goods, but they neither buy, 'nor sell, nor mortgage, nor own real- estate, and therefore they have no busi- ness to do with the Registrar of Deeds. To this large class it will certainly seem fair that those for whom the registrar +works should alone pay the registrar. If the emoluments of that official are too large; if he gets from his customers more than his work is worth, let the fees be reduced or funded, but let his pay be proportionate to the amount of :*ork performed. As for the mode of appointment, it cannot be successfully argued that a better class of men would be chosen by popular election, or by the vote of a county council, than is slow put in of- fice by Government appointment. The responsibility of a Government appointed officer is greater than that of the appointee of a county council, whose members are changing every year: Government inspection is . a guard against defalcations or irregu- larities in the office, and in order that the inspection may be effective, the Government must have the power to dismiss as well as appoint. The discussion of this subject will do good, but we incline to the opinion that by the time the discussion is end- ed,most of the Patrons throughout the Province will be themselves convinced that the present system of payment and of appointment is better than the one proposed to substitute for it. The Liberal Victory in Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Local elections came off on Thursday, and the Liberals were again victorious, carrying 24 out of 38 Beats. The Conservatives won six or eight seats formerly held by the Liber- als, but on the other hand the Liberals won four seats held in the last legisla- ture by Conservatives. , ,An offset to the reduction in the majority of the Liberals is the defeat of Mr Cahan, the ' leader of the Opposition, and also of his lieutenant, Mr Webster, While all the members of the govern- ment, with the exception of one minis- ter who held no portfolio, have been elected. The issues of the cornpaign Were of course Provincial, but the usu- al cry that the '11. P. was in danger was raised,,and Conservative members ofe he House of Commons did what they could to help defeat Mr FIelding and his supporters. B pp e. The probably wish now that they had ky .... apt out of it, for their action has left the Fielding Governtnent perfectly free to work for it % all Worth w'On the Liberal side its the towing Federal election: A iebi, C i to Vote, " t 0 to u bpi ra.".isc .e _r • sol in a MOO e te 000:majo ritytb retor.', TKq front tf►o Dom*nion ott >Fr Uouse. That the present session of the »o' bi4niauIloose is t,o be a lively One is, evident by, the Metier *Which. the Liberalii.'have. jumped into the debate on the speech from the Thcbne:M r Laurier made "an 4niir49e address, bristl,inB with shafts of sar c s 5ni;and indisputable facts concerning, the true kit ate' t'the c4ii%Utxy He was followed by Sir John Tiiomp- eon, who, in an able speech, deflnded the attitude of the government. Two off the best speeches thereon were Wade by the me;mb ars for. East and South Huron, and briefly alluding too them the Globe says.: •-" "Dr. Macdonald, of Huron, who n-ade a strong arraignment of the Gov- ernment, Mr McMillan, of Huron, in his own vigorous way, challenged the attitude of the Administration to- wards the farmersand workingmen, and ridiculed the advice given, by the Minister of Agriculture to the people_ of the Northwest, to work out their own salvation by going hi for mixed .farming." We venture to say that there are few members of the House more thor- oughly conversant with the trade question than these two representa- tives. Mr McMillan, in particular, from a farmer's standpoint, being thorough- ly conversant with all the details that bear upon their condition. Whether the government was un- able to continue a defence along the same lines, or simply wished the de- bate to close is unknown, but it is usual when a member has spoken on one side that he shall be followed by one on the other. This was not done, however, on the present occasion, and the debate was continued by several Liberals without any reply. Mr` Marten, the new member for Winnipeg, made his maiden address, and several of his points are worthy of reproduction. He said:- "It is well known by those in touch with the condition of feeling in the Province from, which I came that my return to this House is a protest on behalf of the great trade centre of that great country, and not only of Manitoba but of the Territories also, against the national policy to which I have been referring. The Conservatives of Win- nipeg many of them voted for me as a pro- test, while still retaining there Conserva- tive, principals, and still anxious that the destinies of Canada should be controlled by the Conservative party. But these persons, strong Conservatives though they be, if the Government persue the policy announed in the speech from the throne, and refuse to give the relief from their burdens which they demand, are prepared when the great conflict comes, to range themselves on the side of the free traders and those who be- lieve in a tariff for revenue; they are ready to abandon their political friends and stand up for their Province and their pockets. The•Premier seems not to have the expli- cit information about the affairs of Mani- toba and the Territories which as Premier he might be supposed to have. He referr- ed to my election, and, while saying in a bragging manner to his majority that he could afford a few Beats, a Winnipeg here and there over the country, still he seemed to be under the Impression that instead of a protest against the tariff it was an endor- sation of me personally for my connection with the Manitoba School act. I wish to. say to the hon. gentlemen that during my election the Manitoba school act was never mentioncd by me. So, if the hon. gentle- man (Sir John Thompson) hada idea that ray election was an endorsation of me for any service I performed in that relation he is utterly mistaken. I say it, and say it with pride, that a large number of those people who did in the past give a strenu- ous opposition tome on the Separate School question, gave me their support when it became a question of opposing the National Policy. The hon. gentleman, in taking this view, indulged in some remarks which I confess I am scarcely able to understand. He was good enough to christen me with a name. He was good enough to refer to the color of both sides 6f my coat. I' have said I am at some difficulty in following the hon. gentleman's meaning; but, then, I have not had the same experience; Mr Speaker, as the hon gentleman in turning my coat. While I am not ashamed of my position as a Protestant, I adhere to my position, that p I came here not to discuss questions of religion -I came prepared to fight the battles of Liberalism, along with eery man who takes the same stand, and I will not inquire what hie religion is. Tho hon. gentleman seems to think be and hie party should have a monopoly in the way of blending the green and orange. I notice in the newspapers that the Controller of Customs and the Minister of Trade and Commerce -whether they are yellow I will not stop to inquire -but I notice they are going to speak at an Orange meeting to- morrow. Yet he thinks he can throw the epithet at me of "Yellow Martin," and he still keeps these Orange birds in his Cabi• net. He sends them around to get the anti-Catholic and Orange vote, while he himself undertakes to hunt np the Catho- lic vote; although even in that respect,'if we are to judge by the present attitude of his Grace the Archbishop of St. Boniface, the hon. First Minister, Mr Speaker, seems to have fallen from place as the great Catho- lic leader of his country. Well, Mr Speak- er, I have been a good many years in poli- tics, although not in the larger arena in which I now find myself placed, but I can say that never at any have I devoted my- self to politics with more heart, with more pride or with more certainty of success than I do to -day, ranged ander the banner of the hon. leader of the Opposition -and the fact that that hon. gentleman differs from me in religion is to me, under the cir- cumstances, rather a source of pride and pleasure, as giving me an opportunity of showing that when I advocated the aboli- tion of Separate Schools in Manitoba I did so not as a religious pleasure but because I am firmly convinced that it is no part of the business of the state to interfere with questions of religion, but that the wisest bourse is to leave individuals to follow their own bent. When it comes to great ques- tions of politics it was no reason why, be- cause certain Roman Catholics support the hon„ gentleman, I should not support (him -and hope, Mr Speaker, that they will not beholder that because 1, with my re• cord end differing from them in religion, am a Liberal, standing shoulder to Should- er, with 0100, thin, til;calci not stand 1nybC• ly by him in the great fight we have Ola hand in ihioo r native oo antty .

The Woman'sAuxiliary in connection with St. John's church, lolmesville, mat for work on Tuesday afternoon at Mrs Guy Hicks. There was a large attendance at the confirmation service by Bishop Bald- win in St. Paul's church on Monday evening. There were thirty candidates confirmed, Capt. T.

Shelton in England, is now supplying the pulpit of Elm street church, Toronto, vacated by the death of Rev. W. J. Maxwell, The special evangelistic services which have been conducted in Ratten- bury St. Methodist church for several weeks, under direction of the pastor, will come to a close this (Friday) even- ing, and the services to -night promise to be unusually interesting. Quite a number have experienced a change of heart, and these will be put on proba- tion. Easter services will be held in St. Peter's church, Summerhill, at 11 a.m., in St. Janes' church, Middelton, at 3 m., in St. John's church, Holmes- ville at.7 p.m.; Holy Communion after the services in each place. The Easter offering for which envelopes have been sent around will be in aid of the Gen- eral church fund in each place. The Annual vestries of the above mamed churches will meet during Easter week. • In connection with theYoungPeople's Association of Ontario street church, on Tuesday evening an interesting debate took place on the subject, "Re- solved, that war is more destructive than intemperance." Mr S. S. Cooper had the affirmative, and made quite a warlike speech, firing shot of all kinds at his opponent. Mr W. Walker had the negative, and handled his subject so ably that the judges, Messre Murch, Vance and Bezzo gave their decision .for the negative. The Rattenbury St. Methodist Sun. day School Anniversary will be held on Easter Sunday and Monday, March 25th and 26th. Rev. A. Stewart, of Williechurch, will address the children Sunday morning; a special service will be held in the afternoon, and the usual entertainment on Monday evening. For the Sunday service the platform will be profusely decorated with flow- ers, and an interesting and profitable time is anticipated in connection with all the services. At the meeting of the Young Peo- ple's Association of Canada, now in session at London, and very largely attended by delegates, Mr A. T. Coop- er, of Clinton, and H. J. Jackson, Brus- sels, have been placed ion the Junior Work Committee; Miss M. Washing- ton, Clinton, on the Missionary Com- mittee- Rev. G, H.Cobbledick, Brussels, on the Bible Study Committee; Rev.W. Baugh, Auburn, on the Finance Com- mittee, and John Cain, Exeter, on the Temperance Committee. The Y. P. S. 0. E. of Willis Church, held a social in the lecture room of the church on Tuesday evening; the object being to promote the social interests of the society, that the membersmight become better acquainted with each other. The verdict of everyone pre- sent was that a must entertaining evening was spent. A special feature on the program was a contest in geography; each member was asked to wear a badge or device representing the name of some place in the Domin- ion, and half nn hour was spent in guessing the names represented. Great ingenuity was displayed in many of the badges, and the contest was the occasion of an immense amount of in- nocent amusement. After partaking of coffee and cake, there was a display of eloquence on the part of some pre- sent in an impromptu debate upon the question: Resolved that a good-natur- ed untidy woman is better than a cross tidy one. The other items ,on the pro- gram were an organ solo by Mr Yel- lowlees, a solo by Mr Salding, and an instrumental duet byMessrsEmmerton and Taylor. Hill's Green.

STILL I THE LEAD. -THE NEW ERA has no d clings, good, bad, or indiffer- ent, with any New York Advertising Agency, and has asked no concern to give it circulation rating. The NEW RA stands on its merits as a local paper, and is justly regarded as the peoples' paper, because it gives more home news every week than any other paper at the same price. NEWS NOTES Daniel McKenzie, aged 55, the father of a family, committed suicide at Tiverton on Friday night. Miss Hannah Lund, a returned Methodist missionary who spent some time in Japan, died at the home of her parents in Wood - stook early Sunday morning. , Mr J. S..Muckleston, treaeurer of the l' Macdonald memorial fund in Kingston, has received a check for $600 from Lord Derby, late Governor-General of Canada, as a contribution to the fund. James Fitzgerald, an old man who had been celebrating the 17th of March, fell down a flight of steps into an area on Dal- housie street, Toronto, and was picked np with a broken neck and quite dead. John McGovern, H. M., customs officer at the Niagara Falls carriage and foot bridge, has become a raving maniac. He is a bachelor, aged 45, and was appointed by the Mackenzie Government in 1876. A Windsor telegram states that Fred Paquette, self-confessed barn -burned, who charged the Martins with hiring him to burn their barns, was on Monday sen tended to serve six months in the Central. Rural Dean Carey, ohapla in to the arch- bishop of Ontario, said on Friday that as long as Sir Oliver Mowat lived his Admin- istration could not be overthrown, and ef- forts in that direction would certainly fail. Lord Rosebery made a speech at Edin- burgh Saturday, in th4 course of which he said the Commons could no longer be thwarted by the aotion of a non-eleotive body of legislators. He also made an em- phatio statement that the Government's, home rule policy remained exactly as it was under Gladstone. It is said at Ottawa that the Manitoba Roman Catholics will not appeal to the -Privy-Eouncrt; Archllisho)3"Taehiregard-- ing the Supreme Court's decision as merely a matter of opinion and not a judg- ment, and contending that' the Dominion Government still has power to initiate remedial legislation. The P. P. A. leader says that the P.P.A. will make as big a fight against Sir Oliver Mowat in the provincial elections as against Sir John Thompson in the Dominion. If the P. P. A. and Patrons of Industry to- gether win about 12 seats they can form an alliance in the Legislature and dominate the Assembly. The McCarthy league will take no part in the provincial contest, What might. have proved to be a serious aapident betel Mr L. M.

The deputation is the outcome of the reoent monster prohibition convention, held in Toronto. That convention sent a depute, tion to the Ontario Govermnent and seonr- ed Sir Oliver Mowat's declaration in favor of prohibition. It also decided to send a similiar deputation to Ottawa to urge upon the Dominion Government similar notion. Jae. Kerr,!aged about 60, and a farmer living about four miles from Scotland Brant gounty, was driving over the Conk- shutt' bridge, there Monday when b horse took fright at an engine underneath. the bridge and made a bolt, this let one aide of the shafts fall on the horse's heels and. it ran away. Mr Kerr held on well for distance, blit he was thrown out, and in the fall struck against a post with such force that he received a very severe out on_ the forehead, just over the nose. The am- bulance wee Bent for and Mr Kerr was re- moved to the hospital in an unoonsoious condition„where he died Monday afternoon. The conviction of Willian Walter Mac- Wherrell, tried before Judge Ferguson at Brampton for the murder of James Will- iams and his wife, was expected by those who followed the reports of the evidence, which left no room for doubt as to the man's guilt. John Edward Walker, su- spected of being an accomplice, got the benefit of the doubt and was declared not guilty of the murder of James Williams, though he will be held for trial on the charge of killingMre Williams. MaoWher- rell made a rambling epeeoh of two hours' duration, in which he protested his inno- oenee and showed his bravado, even die - gusting those who heard him with rude jokes about the gallows. He did not gain sympathy by his remarks, but showed plainly that he is not the stuff of which either heroes or martyrs are made. The date fixed for the exeoutiou is June 1st. In every house in this town there was distributed this week little yellow books and circulars containing some really won- derful cures which have been accomplished by that marvellous liquid known as Wil- liam's Royal Crown Remedy. We would direct our reader's attention to their oases in particular, and al.k their careful perusal, and if they know any friends similarly af- fected, to send them the circulars. You may save their life like Miss Roxie Morden did: 1. That of Mr John Weir, of Birr, whom four physicians declared could not live over twenty-four hours. That was in 1892; he took three bottles of William's Royal Crown Remedy, and to -day he is as well as can be. Read the history of his case and you will say she was the means of saving his life. 2. Mr H. F. Hallands, formerly of Mit - obeli, but now proprietor of King's Roller Mills, Ingersoll, whom all the town knows suffered from rheumatism. • Also the sworn testimony of "a loving wife,” Mrs Sarah Hall, of Brantford, who deceived her husband by pouring out the doctor's medioine, and surely rayed his life by giving him William's Royal Crown in the doctor's bottle so as to dis- guise it. These are three of the most won- derful aures ever effected and well worthy perusal, and we oan vouch for the truth of all of them. This Remedy should always be• kept in every hpme. Take no inferior article, it has saveld many a life. Pride $1, pint bottle, and pills 25c., or five bottles of Remedy, 6 boxes of pills, $6. Sent by express by Isaac Williams' Co., London.
