EMERSON, Clinton Dealer in Pianos, Organs and Bicycles One Mistake , The Patrons elect met at Toronto last week, selected a leader and formu- lated a platform upon which they pro_ posse to stand when the House is in session,afflrmingtheirdetermination to adhere by it as the first consideration. To this no exception can be taken. They are right in attempting to reme- dy•or remove certain things which they regard as abuses, only people may differ in their conclusions as to what are real abuses. With the gen- eral principles 'of the Patron platform we have heretofore expressed our as- sent, but there is one plank upon which we think they are making a serious mistake -a mistake they will certainly realize if the change is ever made, and that is in the election of all officers paid by 'fees. Just for argu- ment we will admit that the fees in some cases may be too high, and that the amount thus received by office- holders is more than it should be, this does not warrant a revolution of system that causes no good. If fees and sal- aries are too high, reduce them to a. proper level; we believe that the pro- per way to do is to leave the appoint- ment of those officials in the hands of either the Dominion or Local Legisla- ture. The experience of the United States has shown that electing office- holders is not satisfactory, because, whenever a vacancy occurs, it becomes virtually a political or social coiatest.,to 'Init. The man who has the greatest number of politicial friends, or society friends, or church friends, is the man who will secure the office. It is all very well to say that none but good • men wiil be supported. Experience has proven to the contrary. Personal and other considerations have their weight, and itis nothing more than natural to suppose that they will tell if an election for some office is taking place. As a new factor in politics, and one which cannot be ignored, the Pat- rons should guard against any mis- takes which might eventually be to their own disadvantage. It has never #yet been proven that the elective sys-- ' tem would be better than the appoint- ed in this particular case, and with the constantly -recurring circumstances in County Councils and elsewhere show- ing the disadvantages and drawbacks '"that necessarily arise by election, hasty or ill-advised advancement in this respect should be avoided. POLITICAL POINTS. Speaking to a meeting of his supporters in northwest Toronto, Hon. N. C. Wallace laid the Coneervative party did not went to have anything to do with the United States. They believed in the policy of protection and. would fight it ont on those linos every time. He admitted that per- haps Toronto had expected too mnoh from protection; still Toronto was a great city and it was protection that had built it up, Col. James Doraville, of New Bruns- wick, given notice that et the ensning Do- minion election he will contest Kings co., N. B., which he represented at Ottawa from 1882 to 1892. The county is now re- presented by Mr Foster, Finance Minister. Mr Doraville says: -"I am a free-trad- er fre.m top to bottom. All this talk of tariffs and all this business of conferences and conventions is looked upon in our part of tbe Dominion as just so much rubbish. , I don't want to impute dishonesty to the present leading politicans, but I put it down to their ignorance, or at the most their self interest. What we ought to haye is a. Canadian party." This kind of talk from a former supporter of Sir John Mac- donald is refreshing. Kion. Wilfrid Laurier addressed the greatest public gathering ever held at Van- oonver, B.O., in the market Hall on Thurs- day evening. The hall was orowded, many were unable to gain admission, and the en- thusiasm knew no bounds. The honorable. gentleman was welcomed with aoolamation by a great orowd that awaited his arrival by Steamer from Nanainio, and at the af- ternoon reception all the leading citizens dttepded, having previously aocompenied the gentleman on a sight-seeing tour. "Freedom of trade and honest, economical g {dvernmont" were the watch -words at Vanoonver as elsewhere, and he sent'. infante weft cheered Id the' ee a when at - ' Wed by the chieftain and by on. Meyers OraOr And Gibson. Caipl iencelmeut`pay. The first annual C'gmmenGelilerrt Day of the Olinten Collegiate Institute was held, on the Collegiate'groundo on Fri- day, 14th inst., and was a brilliant success in everyarticular. As our Institute has always.takeia a foremost position in the county, And even in the Province, in respect to the examinatiofls, the trustees inaugurated n.Commeneemenl Day, iso that the Ian. Pile and ex -pupils eattown and conne ty supporters could .have an At Home, and enjoy' a day's outing: ' As education isthe aim of our col- 1eg9, the trustees do not deers mental training as the only essential of •an education, and 'as Mental exercise is necessarytod ve o ethe perfect man, the physical.presers and invigorates the bodily health, • There are 'but few people of those giving -the . matter ti.ought,who do not believe athletics carry with them dan- gers,'and sometimes injuries, and say that the scholarships of athletics is generally not high, nor infrequently rttie most worthless student proves to be a good athlete, but in Clinton school such proved not to be the case, for the champion athlete leas the scholarship man also. It often seems as though an idea which looks towards making'students simple containees, into which the teach- ers are to pump a given amount of Latin and Greek, is the acme of edu- zation: A-stuident-who-onl-y-gets_that_ which is taught in the class room will be but poorly equipped for the jostle of life. The prompt obedience to com- mand taught in all athletic training, the steady struggle to do one's best, even if the odds be against him, the exact measure of his own powers, the keeping of temper under control, the husbanding of energy until the proper time for using it, are all at least valu- able additions to the education of a young man, and will be of practical use to him when logarithms or Greek roots are forgotten. Nor are the phy- sical evil results of our athletic sports half so bad or lasting as are those which corse to enthusiasts in the field of pure mental training. The latter, however, very generally escape notice, since they are not carried off the field in the presence of thousands of spectators, but quietly give out and disappear. The lattei danger is far the greater, and its sufferers more numerous. For these several reasons the Board of Clinton Collegiate deem it wise to sand- wich athletics with book learning. The followingis the prize list: - Base Ball match -Pupils vs ex pupils, the ex - pupils won by 17 to 19. 100 yd Race-lst, Chas. McKinnon; 2nd, W. Marton; 3rd, A.

As far as numbers go, the evening entertainment was more than a suc- cess, for about as many could not gain an entrance as there were in the hall. ,An excellent .,program-was...weIl.-ren- dared, and consisted of an address by Mr James Scott, Chairman; instru- mental solo, Miss Hallie Combe; solo, Miss Andrews; instrumental, Miss Ida Boles; recitation, Miss Mabel Doherty; solo, Miss Hattie Rumball; solo, Mr Spalding; duet Mrs Hoover and Will Harland; instrumental duet, Misses Dolly Fair and Mamie McMurchie. Much of the creditfor the great'suc- cess attending the commencement ex- ercises belongs to Dr Shaw, who was convener of the Committee of theBoard who had the arrangements in charge. Toxin and County Church Chimes. The W. C. T. U, will meet at Mrs Hoover's, on Saturday afternoon. The Epworth League of Christian Endeavor in connection with Ratten- bury street church will Sive an At Home this (Friday) evening, in the lecture room, from 8 to 10 o'clock, for the young people and strangers of the congregation. A suitable program will be provided' The pulpit of Rattenhury St. church was occupied on Sunday last by Mr Coombs, of the Collegiate, and the sermons he gave tvould be creditable indeed to men who make preaching the business of their life. He had an unusually large audience in the even- ing; he is a valued and efficient addi- tion to the preaching staff of the town. It is an open secret that before very long the Rev Mr Diehl will sever his pastoral relations with his people here, to take another field of labor. He has for some time had charge of the Epis- copal congregations of Summerhill, Middleton's and Holmesville, and has proved himself a faithful, zealous and efficient pv,stor. He is a young man of recognized ability, and while he is too modest to seek to advance his own in- terests, will assuredly come to the front in the church of his choice. Just when and where he will go is not yet fully decided, but it will be with sin- cere regret that not only his own church people but all classes will part with him, and he will carry their very hest wishes to whatever field of labor he may be appointed. THANKSGIVING SERVICES. -On Sun- day next, Sept. 23, thansgiving services for the past harvest will be held in St. James church, Middleton, at 11 a.m.; in St. John's church, Holmesville, at 3 p.m. This mission has been under the charge of Rev. L. W. Diehl for nearly five years. Rev. Mr Higley, of Blyth, will preach the I thanksgiving sermons. During the past years these services have been well attended and the majority of the people have here- tofore made generous offerings in aid of the General Church fund through envelopes provided especially for that purpose. We trust this year may not be the exception, unless it be in a still larger attendance, more enthusiastic services and greater liberality in the harvest offering. The members „will suitably decorate the church this week with grains, fruits, &c, for the thanks- giving service. ki:Opriti ' 7onf'erenee No'tem., There are 200 delegates, asci no tar 35Q' have reported, a very large proportion.. Ooinmittees are getting well through ,hair work, and there to a. prospect' of the conference getting through by• Friday or Saturday, 'rhe Tamperanoe Committee "decided to commend that all Sunday Sobool $uperin, tendentq .should be non..users of tobacco, .41 also to recommend, the use .of =fer- mented wine, Only one general superintendent will be maintained. The term of offioe will be tee. years. The Conference declined to change the name of General Superintendent to that of Bishop, r a The extension of the pastorate terra vies definitely extended to four or five yearn as may be desired, on the approval in encases by three-fourths of the quarterly boards and two-thirds stationing committee that vote for it. The Epwortb League and Sunday School Committee decided to recommend that there shall be a separate board for the Ep- worth League, to be composed of the offi- cers and of one member from each ponfer- ence, to be elected by this General Confer- ence, and one member for each conference, to be elected by the convention held in that conference. The General Superintendent is to be ex -officio President of the Board, which is to meet at such time and place as he may set. It was further provided that any _Yonn_gPeople's Society in any Metho- dist ohuroh may affiliate WitliahemEpWorabs League, provided that it adopts the same aim, tact its Preeident is approved of by the Quarterly Board, that it report to the General Secretary of the Board, and con- form to certain other conditions. It was provided that en annual Epworth League convention should be held in each district, and also one in each annual conference, the duties of the convention being to elect its officers, and in general be executive aid not legislative. The proposal to place two pages of The Guardian at the disposal of the Epworth League was =tempted. In all probability a General Secretary will be appointed, whose duties shall be to travel about and look after the intereste of Sun- day Schools and Epworth Leagues. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The first ballot taken on Tuesday was for the general superintendency, and the sorutineers announced the following result: Rev Dr Carman, 166 votes; Rev Dr Potts, Toronto, 28; Rev Dr Sutherland, Toronto, 4; Rev Dr Ryokman, Montreal, 3; Rev Dr S T. G. Williams, of Montreal. Conference, Rey Wm. Williams, of Mitchell, and Rev Dr Burns, of Hamilton, one each. A storm of applause ensued, and there were calls for " Carman." The enthusiasm broke out anew when the venerable super- intendent stepped up and in a few feeling words thanked the conference for again honoring him with the position he had oc- cupied since the union of Canadian Meth- odism. The next election was that of Book Steward, an office so long and faithfully filled by the genial Dr. Briggs. The vote stood: Rev Dr Briggs, 204; Rev H. S. Mat- thews, Toronto Conference, 4. The most dramatic event of the con, ferenoe ensued when a ballot was nailed for the election of the Editor for the Christian Guardian. As the votes were counted half aloud by the sorutineers it was evident that the opposition to Mr Dewart was far more formidable than was expected, and excite- ment rose to fever heat. There were 211 votes of the first ballott, making 106 nec- essary to a choice. Amid the deepest si• lence the .scrutineers read their account thus: Rev. A. C. Courtice of Kingston 89, Rev. Dr. Dewart of Toronto 83, Rev. J.W. Annie of London 14, Rev. Dr. Rose of Montreal 11, Rev Dr. Ryokman of Mop- treal 5. A second and decisive ballot resulted as follows: Rev. A. C. Courtice 123, Rev. Dr. Dewsrt 87, Rev. J. W. Annie 4, Mr.Cour- tioe made a short speech of acknowledge- ment, and all eyes were' turned on Dr De - wart, but he did not rise. After a few moments of painful silence, the old clergy- man rose and left the church, his fade showing signs of great emotion. He has filled the editorial chair of the Guardian for 27 years. His term of office, under the constitution, will not expire until next June. The salary is $2,500 a year. Rev. A. C. Courtice, the editor -elect, is a comparatively young man, and has not been long in the ministry. He is recog- nised as one of the most brilliant pulpit orators in Canada and is a man of profound. learning. He was pastor of the Dundee Centre Methodist church, London, three years ago, and bas since been stationed in Dominion Square ohuroh, Montreal, and in Kingston. Rev. Dr Withrow, of Toronto, was re- eleoted editor of the Canadian Methodist Magazine on the first ballot. General secretary of Education, Rev. Dr. Potts, of Toronto, 162 votes. This was practically a unanimous re -appoint- ment. General Secretary of Missions -Rev. Dr. Sutherland, Toronto, re-elected. Rev. Dr. Sutherland and Hon. J. C. Aikens, of Toronto, were respectively elect- ed honorary clerical and lay trearnrers of missions. Rev. Dr. Griffin 'and Rev. John Wake- field were nominated as Treasurer df the Superannation Fond. The vote, however stood, Griffin 136, Wakefield 24. WESTERN suPERANuATION. Rev.q,Dr. Griffin, the Treasurer, submit- ted the report of the affairs of the fund for quadrennium. It stated that there are ten ministers and five widows more and twenty-five children lees as claimants on the fund than there were four years ago. The invested capital at General Conference, 1890, amounted to $176,503.7.6. .Invested capital on July 31, 1894, was $206,038.83 giainq •an increase in the permanent fend in four years of $29,535.07. funds, 3131 July, 1894, was $206,038.83. The annnal report of, the same fund stated that all claims had been paid in full, though in making full payment the balance on band at the beginning of the year amounting to $1,719.47, has been exhausted, and an indebtedness incurred of $844.68. The income is in excese of haat year by only $142. The capital account has been in- creased by $2,290 from ministerial sub- soriptiene and $1,246 from legacies. The Superannuation Fund Committee which was appointed to consider the ques- tion of the assessment of the circnits and subscriptions of ministers, resolved to re- commend to the conference that every minister is to pay an assessment of 3% on his salary, provided that in no case any minister or probationer pay a less sum than 815 per annum. It also confirmed the recommendation of the commission that circuits be assessed for 5% on the amount of the salary and connectional funds raised by them. CONFERENCES.

HURON ASSIZES' The Fall Assizes for Huron opened on Monday before Mr Justice Faloonbridge, E. F. B. Johnston appearing for the Drown. There were 12 civil and five criminal oases on the list, the latter including two oharges of rape and one of attempt at rape. The cases disposed of thus far were: Mc- Kinnon v. Crowe, action for breach of promise of marriage in May, 1892, hut the engagement was broken off two weeks be- fore that date, defendant contending, with the consent of plaintiff. Defendant sub- sequently married another woman. The jury returned a sealed verdict for $550 damages for plaintiff, and his lordship awarded full costs. McLean v, Peterson, an action for the sale and purchase of apples, and referred to Judge Toms for enquiry into the facts and report as special referee. Fanson v. Fanson,:an action for an ac- count, was thrown out, hie lordship refus- ing to try it, as the jury notice had been struck out after the ease was entered. In Ward v. Thorne, an action for slander, a verdict for $1 damages and costs with an apology by defendant, was accepted. Barr v. Wilson, an action for Bleeder. Plaintiff was secretary and manager of the Ethel Cheese Company, and a son of the defendant was also employed there. De- fendant pleaded justification of the charges he had made, and the accounts of the com- pany were gone into. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant and his lordship dismissed the action with costs. The Queen v. John Jardine, attempt at rape. The prisoner is a young man about 18 years of. age,.. -and• -the- victim . was --his cousin, a little girl of seven. The offence Offered no evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. He was senteno^.d to 2 years in Central Prison. The Queen v. Thos. Smith -Indictment for rape -prisoner was arraigned and' plead- ed not guilty. Winnie Graves, the orown witness, having denied the whole evidence given before the magistrate by her, Mr Johnston stated that it would be useless to go on any further. His lordship directed the crown attorney, Mr Lewis, to proseonte Winnie Graves, for perjury in connection with her evidence in these proceedings. NoNevin v. Fero- An action for sedno- tion. Verdict for defendant. Hie lordship directed that judgment be entered on and after the second day of next sittings of the Divieional Court, dismissing this action with posts. Moran v. London Mutual Fire Ins. Co. - Action on polioy of insurance. By consent of counsel, his lordship directed that judg- ment be entered for the plff. for $600 and cost of snit. Prootor v. Coats -Settled out of court. PRESENTMENT. The jurors for Our Lady the Queen beg leave to report that they have examined the jail and find: At present there are 12 prisoners in the county, viz, 9 males and 3 females. Of the females two are insane and awaiting removal to the asylum; the other is committed as a vagrant, she is aged and weak minded. Of the males two are awaiting trial for rape; two are insane, one of a very violent type, both are await- ing removal to the asylum; the remaining three are vagrants, all aged, none of them fit for work of any kind whatever; two boys not yet committed for truancy, respeotively aged 12 and 13 years. Some of'those re- tained in jail are proper snbjeots for a county poor house more than a jail, and we would recommend snoh a place to be erected. Thos. FITTON, Forman. Braithwaite Crowe, a resident of London township for nearly 60 years, died on Mon- day, aged 80 years. John Foster, an elderly farmer, near Welland, was struck and killed by light- ning, on Saturday evening. The West York Patrons deoided to run a candidate against Hon. N. C. Wallace. The selection of a candidate will be made on the 26th inst. The petition presented to the Greenway Government by the Manitoba Catholics for the re-establishment of Separate Schools, was 320 feet long, weighed three pounds, and bore 6,000 signatures. The premier -promised a written reply. The Empire says: -"The Manitoba Pat- rons of Industry considered last year that they were paying too mach for their binder twine, and this year determined to go into the binder twine business themselves. The result is not satisfactory and the Pat- rons are disgusted. Briefly, the facts ap- pear to be that the Patrons imported a large lot of twine from St. Paul and dis- posed of it to members at a prion which they anticipated would:be the lowest, but turned out to bo the dearest in the market. The summary of the result ie that 600 feet of the twine supplied by the Petrone cost 10 cents, while a superior brand from Kingston Dost 8 cents, a difference in favor of the latter of $45 r ton. It further appear° that the actual bat of disposing of the Petrone' twine " the morabere of the order wad a quarter ent greater than that charged b$' regule dealers.

The revenue of the United States Gov- ernment has fallen off by almost $13,000,000 during the first 14 days of this month A. colored convict at the Central named Herbert on Saturday tried.to kill Guard Hartley. Hartley fired in self-defence and seriously wounded the convict. General Booth, the Salvation Aa,.y leader, -will -arrive -.in- Montreal--on,Oot.-6th- from England, and will be given a great reception. After a few days he will pro- ceed on a tour of the west. The Patrons have expelled from their order Mr Alexander Wood, father of Mr W. B. Wood, M.P.P., because he voted for a Liberal instead•of-a - Patron candidate in the Provincial election. The total receipts for the Industrial Ex- hibition amounted to $68,937,95, as against $71,962.05 last year, a deorease of $3,024.10. The attendance was actually greater this year than last, but the decrease in receipts is attributed to the falling off in grand stand takings on the several rainy after- noons, on which no performance could be made. Sir Terence O'Brien, the Governor of Newfoundland, publicly stated that a maj- ority of the people of Newfondland, though loyal to the Empire, would, if compelled to choose, prefer a union with the United States, than a union with Canada. The current discussion in the Canadian jour- nals, he says, is quite unpractical. The reversion of Newfoundland into the state of a Crown colony would be more likely in veiw of the state of the finances of the is- land. Erastus Wiman, as the projector of a new merchantile agency to rival, and soon destroy Dun's, has been much talked of lately, but there is no truth in the reports oonneoting hie name with any such plan. It is a fact that M. Wiman has been asked to undertake the organization of such a company by many men of influence and wealth, including, it is said, men now em- ployed in the Dun and the Bradstreet agencies, and sufficient capital bas been practically offered to establish it. But he has not even considered these proposals. That he may do something of the kind in the event of a favorable decision of tbe upper courts is almost certain, as his ex- perience and specially developed abilities would naturally lead him into that field. He could not well do so, however, with the judgment of a criminal court suspended over him, and until that is removed he will remain in the comparative obscurity in which he now lives. His friends are increasingly confident that he will be cleared. --- . SALE -REGISTER. Farm stock of Samuel Merrill, 8th con. Gode- rich township, on Thursday, Oct. 4, proprietor giving up farming. r.
