However much some Canadians de-
sired closer trade relations with the
United States—and we are among the
number—just at the present time, while
the railway strikes are causing so much
concern and anxiety, we are all glad
that our relations are no closer than
they are.
The following prophecy is like some
others that were made by Mr Marter
and his frien a few weeks a o:—"I

' zelieve that the people are just be-
nning to understand the policy of

portunity was now given:" -

t, Many persons are doubtless surprised
'at the magnitude of the majority given
M. Gamow by the town of Clinton -
106. A careful study of the Voter's list
on which the election was held, that of
1893, will show anyone that if the vote
is on straight party lines (which in this
case it was not) the Liberals can get a
majority of from 60 to 75 every day in
the week.
The proposal of the Patrons to tax
mortgages is unwise, to say the least,
for it would simply mean that the
borrower would pay the extra tax. If
it came out of the lender in the first
place, he would most assuredly get it
back from some one, and the borrow -
or would be the one he would look to
for it. This is as plain as daylight to'
anyone familiar with financial matters.

Labor often has grievances which re-
quire to be redressed, and public sym.
pathy is usually given to genuine grie-
vances, but overt acts of lawlessness
such as characterized the great strike
in Chicago last week, cause public sym-
pathy to take sides with law and order.
Wilful destruction of valuable proper-
ty always lessens the claims of labor
to public recognition.
Now that the elections are over and
public'questions can he discussed with-
out the bias that might otherwise af-
fect them, the NEW ERA would like to
`
have a discussion of that plank in the
Patron platform relating to the elec-
tion of county officials, and we invite
communications on the subject, espe-
cially from any of our Patron friends.
We will publish the communications
anonymously, if desired, but must in
all cases know from whom the letter
comes. The sole object of a discussion
of this kind, is to get light on both
'ides of the question. We are not in
favor of the elective system, but that
tviil not,prevent us publishing 'any let-
ter which does not agree with our own
views. Those are the kind of letters we
'Want. Now friends, do not be afraid
to send them.
Huron Presbytery.
The Presbytery of Huron met in
Union church, Brucefield, on TueSday
the 10th inst, Mr Shaw, of E rnond-
ville, was elected moderator for the
enauing six mon the. Commissioners to
the General Assembly lately' held in
St, John, New Brunswick, reported
their attendanoe, and gave some ac-,
count of the proceedings. Mr Martin's
conduct in securing a student mission-
ary for Bayfield and Bethany for the
surnrner, was sustained. Messrs Mc-
Lean and Hamilton reported that they
had visited the congregations of Man-
chester and Smith's. Hill, to ascertain
whether they would be willing to unite
with the congregation of Leeburn, and
that they found them opposed to any
such connection. Mr W. T. Hall, the
student now in charge of Bayfield and
Bethany, was requested to prepare an
exercise to be read at the next meeting
of the Presbytery, and Mr David Buch-
anan, of Hensall, was recommended to
the Knox College, for the first year of
the preparatotly course. The following
standing committees for the ensuing
year were appointed:—Home Missions,
Messrs Martin Fletcher, Corriere and
their elders; State of Religion, Messrs
Stewart, Hamilton, Ure and their eld-
ers; Temperance, Messrs. J.A. Ander-
son, R. Henderson, McLean, and their
elders; Sabbath School, Messrs Ache-
son and J. A. McDonald; Superinten-
dence of Students, Dr. McDonald;
Messrs Stewart, McLean and their el-
ders; Finance, Messrs Shaw, Musgrove,
A. D. McDonald and their elders; Sab-
bath Observance, Messrs Musgrove,
Barr, Shaw and their elders; System-
atic Beneficence, Messrs McLean, Mc-
Kay, R. Henderson and their elders;
Church l;ndeavor Societies, Messrs J.
S. Henderson, Martin, Anderson and
their elders. It was , agreed to hold
the next regular meeting in Clinton.
What our Exchanges Say
Patronism is the first movement
that ever, even temporarily, wiped out
old party lines. Canada has been
troubled by the excesses of partisan
enthusiasm, and the only way to re-
move this trouble is to cripple it by the
force of a new enthusiasm. This the
Patrons have don, to a large extent in
the provincial elections, and will do to
a still larger extent in the Dominion
elections. There is common sense
enough in Canada to restrain the Pat-
rons when their strength becomes a
menace to the country, and meantime
the Patrons will be applauded . as they
proceed to restrain partyism.—Toron-
to 1 elegram, Ind. Cons.
The Philadelphia Record having sug-
gested the merging of Dominion Day
and July 4th by the annexation of
Canada, the Hamilton Times replies:
"Thank you, kindly, Mr Record, but
we prefer our "silken tie" and govern-
ment by constituted authority to the
control of mobs and autocracy of a
Debs. Canada doesn't propose to wed
Uncle Sam for worse; and he can't of-
fer her better. But if you want to
adopt Dominion Day and the banner
of a thousand years, why, if you'll be
real good, we might agree to take you
in out the storm."
It is said that agents of the Canadian
Government are working among the strik-
ing foreigners of the Pennsylvania coke
regions, setting forth the advantages of
immigration
tot
he Canadian gran
Northwest.
It is to be hoped the Government, `if this
report be tree, will keep a watchful eye on
the class of immigrants they are dealing
with. A very large proportion of the
Pennsylvania miners are of a olase whose
absence is preferable to their presence, and
the Government should bring none of them
here.—Toronto Star.
Granton Church Dedication
Granton was first brought into organio
relation with Methodism in 1869, when a
preaching appointment was made and the
first class organized by Rev. J. W. Holmes,
then superintendent of Kirkton circuit.
The eervioee were conducted in the resi-
dente of the late Benjamin Blackwell, Esq.
The numbers were few, but the services
were highly appreciated, and very soon
steps were taken to build a church, which
in a few months from the time of its in-
ception was dedicated to the worship of
God by the late venerable Enoch Wood,
D. D.
Two unions in the history of Canadian
Methodism have since taken plane, and in
the rearrangement of the work Granton
became head of a circuit. The growth of
the nPendbership and congregation made in-
creased accommodation neoessary, and a
little over a year ago a new church enter -
prize was inaugurated under the superin-
tendency of Rev. James Ferguson, whose
indefatigable zeal and energy saw complet-
ed one of the most beautiful churches in
the Conference. The new church stands
on a lot one blook west of the old church
site and facing to the east; it is built of
white brick with goad atone basement. The
building, including lot, fending, etc., cost
$4,581, and every dollar provided for. The
workmanship, both masonry and wood-
work, reflects great credit on the contract-
ors. The auditorium has a seating capaci-
ty of about three hundred; but on the day
of dedication fully five hundred persona
must have been in attendance at each
service.
The opening services were held on Sun-
day, June 24th; Rev. J. W. Holmes, of
Clinton, preached morning and evening
and Rev. Richard Redmond, of the London
Conference, in the afternoon. The church
was formally dedi6hted in connection with
the morning service, according to the dis-
cipline of the Methodist church. The con-
gregations were crowded to inconvenience,
and the services seasons of great spiritual
power.
The teameeting on Monday evening was
unique, for its wealth of provision, social
enjoyment, most exceptionally good order
and liberality of subscriptions. The
amount required to meet the balance of
indebtedness was $1287, and to the grati •
fication of the pastor, Rev. Jas. Ferguson,
and the relief of the noble band of Trustees,
who stood by him in this enterprise, the
whole amount, which includes tfle Sabbath
collections and proceeds of teameeting, was
promptly subscribed.
The choir of the Wesley church, Birr
Circuit, furnished choice music on the
Monday evening, and interesting addresses
were delivered by Revs. E. A. Chown, B.
D., of Lucan, and J. W. Holnies, of Clin-
ton. Mr Jos. Brown, of St. Marys, oc-
cupied the chair in his own happy and
inimitable style. We congratulate the
Granton congregation to the possession of
such a beautiful church.

Ontario Political Affairs,
The Toronto Telegram saya:—"M four
o'clock on each afternoon of the week
Sir Oliver Wont presides at a meet-
ing of the Ontario Cabinet in the 17xeou-
tive Counoil Chamber at the Parliament
buildings.
The meetings daring the past week have
been devoted altogether to a consideration
of the questions that provided campaign
orators ammunition during the late cam-
paign. It has been decided that the Gov-
ernment will promote some reforms by
adopting suggestions that have in them the
elements of good sense. The government
cannot see any reason why they should not
incorporate in legislation those retort= for
which there has been a general agitation,
and if there is good in anything they are
prepared to run the gauntlet of taunts from
theenemy, "Why, you voted that principal
aown when we suggested it."
They will not make any move in the
matter of compelling the owners of timber
limits to saw the lumber in Canada until
after the country has deorded upon the tim-
ber polioy of the Federal Government. If
the smaller provinces again endorse the
Conservative Government the Provincial
authorities will then consider the question
of placing restriction upon the exportation
of loge from Canada to the Michigan Saw-
mills.
The proposed abolition of the grant to
Government House will be left to Parlia-
ment to deoide. The Government will not
plane itself on record either for or against
such a measure, which, if proposed at all,
will be brought in by a private member.
It is the question of fees for county ofti•
oiale that has Dome in for a deal of earnest
dieonesion. The election of so many Pat.
ron members is recognized as the deolara
tion of the country, and the army of officials
of every county will be kept on the qui vive.
Fixed salaries will shortly take *the plane
of fees. That the change will be produc-
tive of a net saving to the provinoe is an
open question. The fees have been great.
ly reduced by the legislation of last session,
and if the salaries mentioned are adopted
many of the officials in rural districts
will gain thereby. A Patron member,
before the election, said that the salaries
of registrars should be about $2,000 in the
cities, and $1,500 in the county towns—
not more, probably less.
Before the House is done with the ques-
tion there ie a likelihood that some of the
more radical will keep the Patrons busy
considering other proposed amendments,
amongst them being a proposition to es-
tablish a provincial civil service in connec-
tion with all Government appointments.
This is not considered to be a practicable
suggestion however, and it will not meet
with much favor, especially as there are
few instances of incapable men receiving
appointments from the Ontario Govern-
ment."

Au Qutral sous Railway Riot
The U'nited$tatee,-and more especi-
auy Chicago, has been the scene of a
terrible state of affairs during the past
week,- Some time ago Mr Pullman,
the pallitee car builder, laid off a num-
ber of employees owing to the slack
times and scarcity of work. Th
men asked to be re-engaged at the
rate of wages, but as there was
work for them they were not tak
on, Pullman offering to open up
books, &c. to show that business
being conducted at a -loss. The Am
can Railway Union then undertook
bring Mr Pullman to terms, and d
cided to boycott every railroad 1181his cars; the railways then decided
stand by Mr Pullman, and strikes we
ordered on every railroad using
cars, this strike extentend, out of
called sympathy, to other lines, unti
great many of the railroads, east a
west were at a standstill. The strike
then resorted to violence, centres
their attacks chiefly at Chicago. Ca
were overturned to prevent the ru
ning of trains, hundreds of cars set
fire and burned, and the most malicio
acts indulged in to injure the railroa
Matters reached a crisis at Chicago,

of dollars of loss to somebody. T
great stock yards were struck with

A Chicago paper prints the following:
"Competent authority estimates the pr
perty loss in this city by the fire and was
during the last ten days at $2,000,000,
loss traceable directly to the strike. Bu
that vast amount is insignificant in nom
parison to the loss due to a sacrifice

railroad tie-up has thrown not less tha
200,000 railroad employees out of wor

a careful canvass that industrial eetablis
meats in Chicago and its environs employ
ing 100,000 men will shut down until th
strike is . settled. Other manufacturin
oommnnities throughout the west are d
ing the same thing, and it is not an exa
geration to state that the ranks of idlers i
the west will be increased by a millio
then by reason of the strike. The wester
country is therefore losing $2,000,000 a da
in wages, estimating the pay of the men a
the low average of $2 a day. On the basi

working men are contributing $300,000

The number of cars on the Pan Handl
road, (just one line) between Fifty-fifth
and Sixty-third streets, destroyed by fir
is estimated to have been from 1,200 t
1,500. The total loss is said to be not les
than $1,000,000. It is estimate bat be

now to plactrany value on the freight de-

been side-tracked in the yard, and- they
were entirely destroyed.
Up to Saturday night 667 of the Penn-
eylvannia line freight oars had been barn -
ed, beside many signal towers, oil and
tool houses and other property. Of the
burned oars more than 160 were loaded,
about 50 with coal and cinders and the re-
mainder with merchandise. No attempt
at an accurate estimate of the damage has
yet been made, but it will reach an enor-
mous figure.
POLITICS IN seLLHLN
The Pullman employes have always
formed an important local factor in poli
tics because of their numbers. In years
past, before Pullman was annexed to
Chicago, the company, as might be ex-
pected, run things politically and alwaye
in the interest of the Republioian party.
It need hardly be said that the Pullman
company has made aesessore here when
the fact is related that its plant, which is
estimated to represent an outlay of $8,000,-
000 and is capitalized at $30,000,000, is as-
sessed for but $15,000, hardly one-fifth of
one per cent.
President Pullman several years ago
gave two lots on which to build a Catholic
church, but before a deed was executed an
election came on for an assessor. Hear
ing that the priest was advising his people
to vote as they pleased, and not as the
company dictated, he refused to give the
deed of the lots,, although the church was
in course of construction, unless the priest
was removed. The priest had to accept
the inevitable and take another pariah,
and then President Pullman conveyed the
title to the parish. It is one of numerous
instances where Pullman has, what they
call, crushed out poi' ical opposition.
How much is Pull' n worth anyway?
The Ottawa Journal a
yeforty million;
Debs says thirty million: the Chicago
Times, which strongly champions the
strikers' cause, says twenty-five millions;
the Chicago Post estimates his 'fortune at
twelve or fifteen millions,' while some of
the newspaper contributors profess to
think that the number of his millions, less
his debts, would not reach two figures.
Pullman is able to pay his way, but just
what bis "pile" is, who knows?

HARVEST PROSPE
In Canada, the United States and
Great Britain, according to the latest
advir•es, the harvest promises to he up
to the average. The hay crop in Wes-
tern Ontario will not he as heavy as
last year, but it is nevertheless good.
That crop is now about saved, and the
wheat harvest has begun. It will be
fully up to the average. In Great
Britain, after three years of shortage,
the harvest prospects are unusual good.
The outlook is reassuring. With plen-
ty of the fruits of the soil, even if the
prices obtained are not so high as they
have been, the international barter
of commodities, upon which so much
of the worlds prosperty depends,
would received a powerful impetus.
We have heard of Canadians who re-
joiced when crops were short in Eur-
ope, forgetful of the fact that poor
crops in lands with which we trade,
means scarcity of cash, and a scarcity
of cash means restricted. urchases of
what we have to sell. When .there is
all round peace and plenty, then there
is all-round, prosperity.

THE GLAD ASSURANCE.
(BY HON. HENRY S. WASHBURN)
Oft in hours of pain and conflict
Come these gracious words to me,
Full of tenderness and pity—
As thy days thy strength shall be.
Not a sparrow over falleth,
Nor a lamb bewildered stray,
But His loving arms infold them.
As they shelter me to -day.
Ere the bruised reed is broken~
2; Ho will deign to hear my prayer,
That no trial shall befall me
Greater than the heart can bear.
In what way relief I plead for
Is to come, I may not see;
