Tho Ontario Protests
The Empire admits that in many of
the protests entered there is no evi-
dence to warrant their being proceed-
ed with and a number will be dropped,
but claims that the following cases are
likely to go to trial:—
Monok-Hon. R. Harcourt Liberal.
South Huron -McLean, Liberal.
West Uuron-Garrow, Liberal.
Welland -German, Liberal.
North Ontario -Chapple Liberal,
Kingston -Smythe, Conservative.
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:

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,

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."

pen. A boy fired
• thr ough a door in town
l.` ; recently, and if it had

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.

Mr P. L. Potts, ex -reeve of the township

next Dominion election, at a meeting of the

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.

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."

preliminary report from Passed Assistant
J. J. Kenyoun from the Pasteur Institute

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

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.,

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,-

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.
