West Algoma -Savage, Conservative. Haldimand- Senn Patron. South Perth -McNeill, Patron. We don't believe the Empire knows anything about it, but as it happens that all the foregoing were elected by small majorities, it assumes that these may go to trial. They may or may not, but the Empire not being in the confidence of the Liberals, is in no po- sition to say what protests lodged by them will be dropped. • Liberal Sentiments At the unveiling of the monument to the late Sir John A. Macdonald in 'Toronto, last week, Sir John Thomp- son and other members of the Cabinet were present. Hon. G. W. Ross repre- sented the Ontario Government. Touching upon what had been said by preceding speakers on Sir John's at- tachment to the British idea, Mr Ross said:— "Althouhas a Liberal I do not •be- lieve that he either embodied or re- presented a more patriotic feeling than prevailed among those who could !f' not recognize his leadership, still I am prepared to record my hearty endorsa- tion of that Canadian and British spir- it which formed such a prominent fea- ture -of his character." The following words by Mr Ross, we believe, fairly expressed Liberal opin- ion regarding the man in whose mein- 1 tory the monument was erected:— "In fighting the battles of his party and his country, Sir John Macdonald's policy did not at all times commend itself to a large minority of his fellow - citizens. In • asserting their right to •differ from him they but asserted the rights of British freedom. Now that he has gone, while still believing that _.inmany.respects a different policy on some questions would -have been --bet- ter for the country, still I am free to say, at least speaking for myself, that no Canadian of this century ever filled a larger place in the history of Canada than he has filled, that no,par.ty-leader.. ever commanded more fully the confi- dence of his followers, and that few Canadians have done more than he has done to unify the Canadian Provinces and strengthen the influence of our young Dominion. Whatever was good in his life let us imitate; whatever was faulty, for human nature in the best of men has its frailties, let us forget." Farm Statistics The tabulated, reports of the Bureau tof Industries for the year 1893 have just been issued, and contain a lot of in- formation for fanners. It is the only •thing published which gives a fairly accurate idea of crop and farm statis- tics, and should be perused by every .farmer who is desirous of information. 'The following figures are from its pages: 1893 1892 Acres cleared land in Huron.. 576,639 575,121 Yield of fall wheat, bushels.. 1,168,418 1,38,5,821 " Spring wheat, bush... 86,788 288,226 Barley, bushels 389,561 467,895 Opts, 'bushels • 3 536,934 3,519,156 Rye, bushels 3.1.46 15,093 Peas, bushels 876,854 914,868 Buckwheat, bushels 14,751 19,348 Beans, bushels 2,024 1,510 Potatoes, bushels416,852 471,300 Mangolds, bushels926,628 989,706 Carrots, bushels 158,316 112,128 Turnips, bushels '3 213,8.58 3,809,0)19 Hay and clover, tons 224,561 211,609 The cleared acreage in Huron is the second. largest in the Province, Grey sr stand* first. Middlesex and Kent surpass us in the yield of fall wheat. In spring wheat Huron is far behind many other counties. In barley it stands eigth, York standing first. In •oats, only the county of Grey exceeds Huron. In peas, Bruce heads the list, Simcoe next and Huron third. In po- tatoes there are five counties with a larger yield than Huron, while in man - tolds and carrots this county heads he Wit; in turnips we stands sixth. In bay and clover Grey stands first and 'Huron second. The total, value of all the field crops in Huron, in 1893, is put down at $4,959,420, or nearly $600,000 less than in 1892. Those who desire a copy of the report, from which these figures are taken, could likely get it by writing to the Bureau of Industries, Toronto. di Ai 416 di At the unveiling of Sir John Mac- donald's monument in Toronto, last week, a "school boy's brigade" was present, and one of the boys, for the time being, rather staggered the re- presentative of West Huron. When ]ion. J. C. Patterson was called union to speak, he appealed to the boys and ;said "What shall I speak about?" and wick as a flash from one boy came the reply "About t+V minute." To show the Winghem Aci.vance flow little it iCllolvs. about the Malts of the �ait tnanitkcrl e s, kilyy. men, tion that the Pomitlion government has been asked, In the interest of Can- adian Salt .inakers,. to accept the Amer- icatl government's offer of reciprocity in salt. . The late Alexander McKenzie and the Liberal party, were bitterly de- nounced because they would not de. (vivo the farmers in pretending they could raise the price of wheat by pro- tection, Now, *hen wheat is about 45 cents a bushel --lower than it ever was in his time—the men who did promise to make its price higher, get out of the hole by saying "the price is governed by that of Liverpool.' Passing Thoughts I don't see why so many people allow children to have fire- arms and air guns when accidents so easily hap. pen. A boy fired • thr ough a door in town l.` ; recently, and if it had 13'49 struck anyone the con- • '/ sequences would have been serious. People are liable to a heavy fine for having even air guns in their possesshin. "I often wonder why so many per- sons, ordinarily as good hearted as can be, manifest cruel inclinations in the direction of what they call "sport." I see young fellows go off with guns, and they will tramp all day thr ough the bush, and come home at night with two or three squirrels or cbipmonks. Now if they had killed these to eat, it would not be so bad, but generally they throw the carcasses away. What harm would have ensued had they al- lowed the pretty little animals to live." I can never understand why people in towns will buy teas and other gro- ceries from city peddlers, as we have several good grocery stores here, all of which I have no doubt are able and willing to sell just as cheaply as any city house. Persons who want to buy or sell any article can do as well in Clinton as anywhere. OLD SKEDUNK. THE FUTURE OF THE HURON CENTRAL EXHIBITION. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. DEAR Sri, -The Central Exhibition has Dome and gone, and now is the time to be- gin to plan and prepare for the future. The past show could not be excelled in this region for exhibits; many things being equal to the Toronto Industrial. The at- tendance, on aocotint of rain and (in my opinion) want of town displays and special attractions, was not what could be wished. Now, Mr Editor, while many have done nobly to make the show what it is, and de- serve great credit from the people, the question I would like to ask, if the people of this locality, rich and poor, large and small, take hold of the Central the coming year, with a will, as they would their own private business, could we not have the best fair in this north-west region, both in exhibits and attendance, and even approach some of the large fairs, in manner of com- position. Clinton is well situated for a pretty large show, and as the modern well- conducted ones are one of the best educat- ors and stimulators to industry we have, should they not:receive considerable atten- tion from all. Ae to future improvements in the Central, perhaps the following could be introduced, besides many more that other agriculturists, manufacturers, etc., can sug- gest, viz.•_ 1. More united action of town and county people. 2. Double the space for mammoth displays by every merchant and manufacturer of the town. 3. Cheap family admissions. so that all could see the fair, and for lady and gentleman 20e, single 15c. 4. A general musical palace, gratuitous, filled with every variety of musical instruments pro- curable, and music voluntarily given by com- binations and separately of the very best of its kind. 5. A tea table display prepared and presided over by the lady owner. 6. Better accomodation for grade cattle, say three yards for the different ages, in close proximity to show ring. 7. Best gentleman's turnout, viz. horses, car- riage. occupants, etc. 8. A county beauty show, that is if the young men thought proper to get up such a delicate and:perhaps unsatisfactory affair. Say $5 for five best looking young ladies; $5 for five best locking young men. 9. A trade procession such as we had two or three years ago, with the beautiful display we had this summer added. 10. A committee of five appointed for each difficult and expensive attraction, to act under the supervision of the officers. 11. Prizes for cases of insects injurious to till- ers of the soils, of birds, fish, ores, and a prize for the largest number of first prizes and second prizes taken by one exhibitor. In conclusion, I would say, let ns all take hold of the Huron Central, with a will, determined to have the best that our united energy can produce for 1895. ONWARD. What the Papers Say. Hon. J. C. Patterson says there is no truth in the report that he is about to re- sign his seat in the Cabinet for the purpose of accepting the post vacated by Mr Mere- tith's retirement. The Minister of Militia might have spared himself the trouble of making the denial. Nobody really thought he was such a fool as to 'throw up $7,000 a year at Ottawa in order to take the Oppost- ition leadership in Ontario.—Toronto News. The Toronto Telegram says:—When Mr Monck was rejected by his Carleton admir- ers in favor of Mr Kidd, the Patron member, Dr. Willonghby assumed the reins laid down by the Conservative "whip." The latter has just issued a call to the 28 remaining Conservative members, asking them to meet in Toronto during the next fortnight, to select a leader to replace Chief Justice Meredith. Some of Mr Meredith's ardent admirers wished to mark his retire- ment from the leadership in some manner suitable to the oocasion, but for some unex- plained reason the proposition received nothing but very cooling encouragement from the party managers. "It would be very nice, but the time is too short. Be- sides, I don't think Mr Meredith would care for a 'hullabaloo' just now." London, the less, bas always practically been a Conservative pity. Times have arisen when that party found it necessary to retain its hold by means that were un- fair, eepeoially in Dominion contests. As long as Wm. R. Meredith lived in it, the Liberals knew they never could win in the Local. When they found him a non-resi- dent, they took heart and tried again.— They failed, but were near enough to vic- tory to encourage them to try and put up even a stronger fight in the bye -election which is to Dome. Mowat wants the seat. Every vote in the legislature he can get, will not be a vote too many to save the government. The Liberals of London think they can help him by winning a seat they never won before. And the result will be an election fight the hottest the Province ever saw.—Toronto News. 4.1 -IE (CLINTON NEW 1R.� 'NEWS NOTES i PQ11.C.►.e. a1 raragraplrs, Sir Jo hn Tholpp.6o8 will sail or lend about about November 1, Mr W. A. MoOulla declines the Conser- vative nomination for )reel. London Conservatives will nominate a candidate for the looal, on the 24th. The-Qonaervatives of Ottawa have added 2,300 names to the voters' list, while the Reformers have put on only 1,400. W. D. MoPherson (Conservative), of the law firm of MoPhereon, Clark, Campbell ct Jarvis, Toronto, will probably contest tbe new division of Weal; Toronto at the general eleotione. The Empire is still sorrowing over Mr Harty's laok of a seat. Some people are ungenerous enough to suspect that the real cause of the organ's anxiety is solioitude for Dr Smythe. John Brown will likely be the patron nominee against Clark Wallace. The Pat- ron leaders believe that he will, .pf he ac- cepts the nomination, succeed in snowing Hon. Clarke Wallaoe out of eight. The latest rumor in political circles is that Sir Donald Smith will not seek re- election to the Dominion House for the Western division of Montreal, after his present term of representation has closed. Mr P. L. Potts, ex -reeve of the township of Arran, was chosen as candidate for the next Dominion election, at a meeting of the Patrons of Industry held at Tara onFriday. He is a P. P. A. and formerly a Conserva- tive. There was a sudden change for the worse in Mr Meroier's condition yesterday and he became delirious. The doctors now say that the disease has made rapid headway, and that the end is only a question of a very short time. The North Simooe Patrons of Industry have come to the conclusion not to nomin- ate a candidate for the Dominion at the present time, as a number of the represen- tatives were in favor of supporting Mr Moe Carthy, the present member. Mayor Essery and Mr T. G. Meredith, of London, are the candidates mentioned as likely to contest the Forest City in the in- terests of the Conservative party.. The Reformers are unanimous in a desire to see Mr Hobbs take the field again. The Conservative papers are poking fun at Mr Laurier for making an impression upon the lips of the fair damsels who pre- sent him with bouquets. The Liberals retort that it is the impression that Mr Laurier is making with his lips upon the intelligent rancher that will bother the newspapers some months hence. The monument ereoted in Queen's Park Toronto, to the memory of Sir John Mac- donald was unveiled on Saturday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies, before an enormous gathering of people. Speeches were delivered by Sir John Thompson and several Dominion Ministers, and by Hon. Geo. W. Ross on behalf of the Ontario Government, Hon. Wilfrid Laurier's reception in Manitoba is more than a mere tribute to the man. The need of a change of Govern- ment, of a reversal of the fiscal policy of the Conservative party, is known and felt in Manitoba, and that Province will not be a Conservative stronghold after the next elections. Mr Laurier w,ill start for home on the 27th. North Bruce is a constituency that has shown an inclination to waver. Since 1890 it has been represented in the Local Legis- lature by a Conservative, a Reformer and a P. P. A. member, electing the latter twice. In the Federal elections it went Conserva- tive by the narrow majority of 30. H. T. Potts is in the field as a Patron, a P. P. A. and a former Tory. Against this combina- tion -the -Grits -have decided to hurl a can=' didate. Peter McCallum, M,P.P., says Mr Potts will win. The Patron Grand Board officers and their newspaper, The Farmers' Sun, re- ceived no invitations to the unveiling of the Sir John Macdonald statue at Toronto, but the members -elect did. get them. Those who were neglected, however, do not feel bad, though they think the slight was in- tentional. The secretary, Mr Hopkins, ex- plains that the Committee thought it suf- ficient to invite the M.P.P.'s only, but he bad no explaniation of the failure to invite Editor Wrigley. Hon. Mr Laurier has now been address- ing meetings in the Northwest and British Columbia for nearly two months. He has spoken to his fellow countrymen at over 40 great gatherings, and bas undergone the usual discomforts of continual trayel. But the Liberal chief has ep1juyed the outing and is in excellent healtl'3 knd spirits. On Friday he spoke at the promising towns of Russell and Birtle, and had a very cordial reception. The argaments in favor'of trade freedom are everywhere cheered to the echo. Geo. Taylor, M.P., "whip" of the Con- servative party in Ontario, has in some manner earned attention of the Patrons of Industry. He is member for South Leeds, and is a partner in a highly protected wag - gen business at Gananoque. The Patrons have registered a vow to defeat Mr Taylor, and in South Leeds they will concentrate their forces and have frequent mobilization from now until the election. They have selected a candidate in Mr S. Storton, a sturdy farmer living at Sandy Bay. While South Leede has been Conservative for many years, Mr Taylor's majority dropped to a little over 100 at the last election. A Toronto despatch to the Ottawa Jour- nal says:—Mr Meredith was very much an • noyed at the announcement of his retire- ment being made when it was. It is said that the management of the Empire was supplied with the information on the under- standing that it would not be made public before a month, as Mr Meredith had several matters he wanted to straighten out before resigning his position of corporation coun- sel of the city of Toronto. Other papers were in the same position, but they respect- ed the late leader's desire and witheld the publication. When the news came out Mr Meredith telegraphed Sir John Thompson asking that the appointment be delayed for a month, but the Premier's reply advised the immediate settlement of the matter, and the Chief Justine was constrained to acquiesce. It is understood that at the meeting to be held in the Empire office next Tuesday, - Geo. F. Marter, M. P. P., will be chosen leader of the Ontario Conservatives, to succeed W. R. Meredith. There is no wild desire on the part of the "machine" to see Mr Marter given the post. But the "ma- chine" cannot keep it from him. Whitney would probably have stood some show but for the Patrons. It is apparent that Mar• ter is the only member in the Howie with the necessary experience and ability who is on cordial enough terms with the Pat- rons to make his choice a necessity. Mar- ter's selection, it is hoped, will hamper the Government to some extent. He is not a professional man, while Sir Oliver and most of his Cabinet are: Ae the Patrons are opposed to "professionalism," the choice if the caucus parries out the program laid down, will be deemed a fortunate one. —Toronto Newe. Manitoba wheat shipments the past two menthe exceed in quantity all previews re• cords for a similar Reriod. Mr Book, of South Cayuga, bas been chosen as tbe Patron, candidate in Haidi- maild for the (Jammed.. The amen* of insanity in Manitoba and the Northwest appears remarkable. There are now 240 confiner inthe insane asylums. The provincial ploughing metoh is to be held on the farm of Mr Wm. Milliken, at Hagerman's Corners, on the 8th of Novem- ber. An attempt to lynch a colored oriminai near Columbus, Ohio, was stopped by mili- tiamen, who fired on the mob with deadly effeot. The Haldimand Patrons have deoided to fight the protest against Mr Senn, why de- feated Hon. Jacob Baxter at the last pro- vinoial election. Charles and Jacob Harris, Russian Jews, were arrested in London, Ont., Wednesday, charged with smuggling. They settled, it is said, by paying a fine of several hundred dollars and were allowed to go. Farmer Hoyle, of the London road, Pet- rolia, left his vest with his watch and chain hanging on the fence while plowing, and while fixing his plough point some thief stole it. OJhief Jackson, of Petrolea, arrested Wm. Franklin, who told where he sold the watch. The four men who planned and executed the wreok on the Chicago and Grand Trunk in July at Battle Creek, are now in custo- dy, and the evidence against them is said to be very strong. After President Debs had read the report of the arrest he said: "You cannot quote me too strongly as de- nouncing all each sots of violence. If these men are guilty they ought to be pun- ished to the full extent of the law." Surgeon General Wyman has received a preliminary report from Passed Assistant J. J. Kenyoun from the Pasteur Institute in Paris, where he is making special study of the methods of Prof. Roux in the treat. ment of diphtheria by means of scrum in- jections. Dr. Kenyoun states that he is convinced that Prof. Roux has been too modest in his claims for the efficacy of this treatment. He says the discovery is one the greatest in medicine, and has passed through the experimental stage and laid a foundation for a new system of preventive medicine, A strange torn -out made its appearance in Hamilton Tuesday morning. It con- sisted of a waggon like a prairie schooner, drawn by two asses and a mule, and was driven by a man apparently about 40 years of age. The outfit was somewhat dilapidat- ed, The man halted for a while, and told 4,his listeners that he was on his way from the Gulf of Mexico to Jerusalem on a wager for $10,000 that he would reach the Holy City by June next. To get there he mast not spend a cent of his own money, and the waggon and animals he had purohased by money earned by himself. He also had to cook his own meals and live alone. After taking up a collection the traveller went eastward, en route for New York. H. C. Moore, formerly of Corinth, Mies., has just reached here from Egypt. Eight years ago he left Mississippi a penniless and inexperienced youth, possessing no- thing but grit and love of adventure. He returns a multi -millionaire. He made three trips entirely around the world after leaving his native State, and finally settled in South Africa. He drove a trade with an African king for two tracts of mineral land of 70 square miles each, at a nominal price. Last spring he sold one of them to the British South African Mining Co. for $1,000,000 • cash. He bas just sold the other to an English syndicate for $1,250,- 000 and is enroute to. England to close the deal. He will take two of his Alabama nieces, Misses Coffee and Moore, with him. He gave them $50,000 eaoh as a present. A correspondent contributes the following in connection with the Christian Alliance Convention, recently held in New York city :—The convention that closed last night was one of the most wonderful meet- ings in the annals of church history. It had Ueen in session for fifteen days. The first few days were spent in teaohing the office work of the Holy Ghost, and the pos- sibilities of the Christian ip this life. Then followed some teaching on the subject of divine healing, and the coming of the Lord. But the key -note of the whole convention was the greatest contract of the ages—the evangelization of the world. Dr. A. T. Pierson was a God -appointed and a God- annointed messenger to the meeting. His stirring messages *ere burned upon every heart by the Holy Spirit. Last Friday night the Holy Spirit name upon the meet- ing, and the people poured forth their treasures of gold and silver and precious stones, as in the days when Moses built the tabernacle. Between twenty and thirty-' gold and diamond set watches were laid on the altar of God. The stillness was awful. The power of God swept through the place, and the Son of God walked among the peo- ple. Sunday was the grand Drowning day of the convention. The American Theatre was secured for the Sunday services, it was filled to the utmost capacity, and over -flow meetings were held in the Gospel Taber- nacle. Mr Simpson preached from: "Come over into Macedonia and help ns." The cloud of the Lord's presence overshadowed the plaoe, and the glory of the Lord filled the theatre. A tidal -wave of power swept through the great congregation, and when an opportunity was given, the people rose one after another, and gave till the offering swelled to over forty thousand dollars. Then a paroel of papers was handed in, which proved to be the title deed to some property, and a Christian -brother gent a promise that he would make the offering up to•$50,000. Mack in Saturday night says:—"I had the pleasure last Saturday night of inter- viewing the. Misses Webling, that clever trio of sisters who have just arrived in Tor- onto from London, to spend the winter sea son in Ontario under the management of the Canadian Entertainment Bur- eau. Mise Lucy, the youngest, travelled all over the United Kingdom playing Little Lord Fauntleroy, appearing in the role over five hundred times in the best theaters in the largest cities. She was regarded as the ideal Fauntleroy. The entertainment furnished by Miss Webling is different from ordinary elocution. They imparted to me, as perhaps the secret of the emcees they have achieved, the fact that they be- lieve in costuming anit• oomediettas that engage all three at once, rather than in in- dividual performances in ordinary dress. For instance they have had specially writ- ten for them "An April Jest,' a small com- edy timed to the last century. In this they were costumed as our ancestors were. They have another specialty prepared for Canada, in which Mies Peggy represents England, Miss Rosalind Ireland, and Miss Lnoy, Scotland. In title too, they are ap. propriately costumed, while Miss Lucy dances the Sootah sword dance and Miss Rosalind a rollicking Irish jig, In another they dance the stately minuet. They will be in Clinton Nov. 9. EWS • 4 death is repported at London ofyoung lady who naught pia after beim aoet' nated, The London Liberals select a candidate for the seat vacated by MrMeredith Thurs- day, (yeeterday). Edgar Wilson, known se "Bill Nye," the humorist, is at a hospital in Chicago, std. foxing from gastritis. Mr George Braithwaitb, of the sixth concession of Markham, was dragged to death by a vicious cow which he was lead- ing. Fred. Hogan and John.prose, 'Woodstock boys, went shooting. They played "Jesse James," with the result that Hogan ia dead and Cross in jail. • Indications at Ottawa point to an early session. The chiefs of the departments have been asked to get estimates for next year prepared as early as possible. A C. P. R. newsboy named Patterson was blown off the train, crossing the St. Lawrence bridge near Montreal. He stuck fast in the girders, and did not fall :nto the river. The export cattle trade from South-west- ern Manitoba this year has been mnoh be- yond expectations. One firm shipped to 'England sine April . 1, $70,000 worth of animals, Mr Gummer, publisher of the Canadian Forester, brought action for libel against the Toronto Newe and has received judg- ment, with $200 damages. The Newe was given an opportunity to retract, but refused to do so, hence the suit. Rev. G. W. Wye, rector of Christ church, Amherstburg, who was served with a notice not to continue in charge of the church, held service as usual last Sunday. He has begun a civil suit to recover arrears of sal- ary, amounting to $1,800. The Liberals of Center Simcoe are hav- ing the laugh on their enemies just now. The petitioner against Mr Paton's election was A. M. Hunter, an insolvent. Some of his creditors have garnisheed the $1,000 deposit which he put up, or rather, which the "gentlemen" behind the scenes put ap through him. A couple of weeks ago Windle Fox, living near Kingsville, was eating his dinner, when a portion of the meal stunk in his throat. A physician was called, but so far has been unable to dislodge it, and an operation has been decided on. Fox can only take liquid food, and even then he suf- fers great pain. At Elizabeth, N. J., Mrs Thos. Harrigan, aged 30 years, took ber three children, aged five and three years and six months, and huddled them close to her in a haymow and set fire to the hay. The mother and child- ren were burned to death and the charred bodies of all four were found in the ruins. The death occurred on Tuesday, at Mitchell, of Mr Robert Jones, an ex -warden of the County of Perth, and one of the earliest settlers in the Township of Logan. kir Jones has been ailing for some years from heart disease, and dearth came sud- denly. Mr Jones was twine elected to the position of warden of Perth county, first in 1871 and again in 1873. He was a Con- servative in politica.
