N. Clarke Wallace by the Orangemen of Roman Catholic Mon- treat recently and the hon. gentleman's reply. In the nineteenth century Canadians are a tolerant peopie and the basis of religious toleration► cannot i� find a more deserving foundation than n that laid down in the constitution of the Loyal Orange Association. The address and reply breathes the true spirit of Protestant toleration. In the reception to the Hon. Mr. Wallace we learn that he has been awarded a great distinction in being elected a second time president of the,Triennial Council of the world, a distinction and hpnfir never before accorded any living man. We heartily endorse the .,following from the Sentinel "We congratulate the Orangemen of • Montreal and the Province of Quebec on the hearty. united and grand . demonstration they held ou the occas - of the visit of M. W. Bro. Hon. N. Clarke Wallace, M. P. The tribute paid to Mr. W. Bro. Wallace was well ' deserved and gave further evidence, if such evidence were needed, that Orangemen appreciate and honor those who labor for the country's ?velfare, and that men who do their duty may rely on the cordial and loyal support of all true members of the Order.' THE CANADIAN ENGLISH HAY TRADE. When Hon. Mr. Foster, Finance Min- ister opened up during his visit to Eng- land, the beginning of a market for Canadian hay there, he was sneered at as a fool by the Liberal newspapers, whose business was not to encourage the getting of a market anywhere but to loose no opportunity of abusing the pressnt Government. When he an- nounced in parliament that a profitable trade might be done in that product of the farm between Canada•and Britain the :men sitting opposite to hitn--accord- ing to their newspapers—grew merry at his stupidity. Well, notwithstanding these sneers and merrymaking. the trade was opened up and as those who keep posted upon such matters knew, the trade is a promising one, and fr'ly justifies Mr. Foster's statements at the time we refer to. This is now being, learned even by the Grit Press; ani ;n issue i`-Aigust 71h the Cfayuga ":'Advo• to has this to say: ' ' 'Canadian hay, we' are told, is now permanent article on the English ;market. Thejtrade was opened up at a • time when there was an extraordinary demand for foreign hay owing to the failure of crops at home, and that it should be continued even when the English yield is normal is highly satis- factory to Canada." The Advocate adds that with proper care in producing and shipping, Cana- dians may yet do a profitable trade with England in hay. This is just ex- actly what the Minister of Finance said some years ago but the Grit Press sneered at him, as we have said. WHY NOT BE HONEST ? Our town cotem. continues in the old groove of misrepresentation. The Grand Secretary of British America, Bro. Birmingham, addressed the Orangemen at Windsor on the 12th of July. The New Era says there has 'been a split there in the ranks of the P. P. A's. and that he was sent there 'to heal it up, but does not give a tittle -of proof to back up its lying assertions. 'The two orders have no connection whatever and the gathering was pure- . ly ORANGE. When the New Era says 'that Mr. Birmingham said so-and-so, that paper wilfully misrepresents the facts. He said nothing of the kind and (did NOT endeavor to heal up any lin- .aginary split. The P. P. A's. or a split in them had nothing to do with the gathering. There are, unfortunately, professing Protestants of the stamp of our cotew. in this country who would even lie the Grit party into office with a French Roman Catholic at the head of affairs. And we might add a leader who has declared that he would "shoul- der his musket on the banks of the Saskatchewan" and shoot down our brave defenders—the volunteers. If Protestants, as Protestants, have any- thing to expect from the leaders or rank and file of the Grit party the fact has yet to be demonstrated. And they will never demonstrate anything of the tt:ind. Why not he honest and truth- ful ? Last week a Grit rumor flashed over the wires from Battleford that Gabriel Dumont was inciting an uprising among the Indians of that region. The (hits should remember the fate of their friend rebel Riel and the disgraceful •figure that part' cut in parliament during the rebellion and after the culprit was hanged. There is not much likelihood of another uprising—unless perch;u ee Mr. French Laurier has taken his musket with him. 4 The Reformers -of South Duron met in convention at Hehsall ells. Wednes- day. From the published rejiorts of the meeting one would he led to the conclusion that the gathering was not very harmonious, and that the electors are dissatisfied with John Mc- Millan, M. P. There were, from the published report. 85 delegates present. John McMillan, M. P., M. C. Oameron, ex -M. P., Thos. Frazer, P. Kibler and R. Holutes were nominated for the next Dominion election. Of the 85 votes the old member secured 48, Mr. Cam- eron 26 and Mr. Fraser 11. The other aspirants did nut, it would appear, even receive the vote of their respec- tive movers. Our town cotem.explains that as far as Mr. Holmes was concern- ed he was nominated "more in sport than earnest." But this will not ex - explain away the apparent dissatisfac- tion, for Mr. McMillan only received a majority of eleven votes over Mr. Cam- eron and Mr. Frazer. Aood percent- age of the__�iiformers of South Huron are tired .:he present member and are anxious for a change. It would have been a graceful act on the part of Mr. McMillan to have vacated fa favor of Mr. Cameron. A Grand Reception. QUEBEC WELCOMES M. W. BRO. N. CLARKE WALLACE, M. P.—ENTHUSIAS- TIC GATHERING—PATRIOTIC AND LOY- AL ADDRESSES. On Wednesday evening, August 20th the brethren of Montreal tendered the M. W. the Sovereign Grand Master of British North America a reception which, for hearty enthusiasm, could not be excelled. The meeting was held in the Windsor Hall, which, although it holds more than two thousand peo- ple was crowded to the door, and so great was the crush for admission that many leaders and others for whoin it was intended to reserve seats had to go on the platform. Among those who accompanied'the chairman, County Master Gilday, and the guest of the evening• to the plat- form were: Bros. Roht.°11IcGlaugslin, P. G. M.; Wrn. Galbraith, P. G. M A. MaeKev, P. C. M.; Lieut. -Col. B P. P. G. Si.; Rev. Dr. Smyth rg Rev. J. I3. Dixon, Rev. Mr�,y3jiere, Lieut. -Col. Cole, T. C..•• Bulmer, D. Beatty, W. M. L. O,!' L. 804; A. G. Ellis, Co. Sec.; T. Q.. 3awson, P.

Cllaap., and many others. The party were accompanied to the platform by Pipers McNeill, Mathieson and Evans, playing national airs, and the audience catching up the enthus- iasm cheered again and again, renew- ing the applause all through the eve- ning whenever Bro. Wallace's name was mentioned. The Montreal Witness in reporting the proceedings said: There had been no bluster or great blowing of trumpets announcingthe eeting, and the number who meetings assembled to do honor to the great Orangeman was all that could he expected. But the Orange- men and their friends came and filled the hall to overflowing. It was indeed an honor to the member for West York. The front of the gallery and the rear wall of the hall were decorated with British flags. The chairman, County Master Gil - day, was glad to see the turnout of Or- angemen to do honor to the guest of the evening, who had secured the highest honor that could be conferred' upon any Orangeman in the world in being appointed for the second time Pres - dent of the Triennial Council. The chairman called on P. G. M. McGlaugh- lin to act as honorary chairman. That gentleman on taking the chair, said that such a meeting as this could not have been held once in this city in peace and quietness. They were living on a better footing with their Roman Catholic friends and he hoped nothing would be said to hurt the feelings of any of their fellow citizens. The Rev. Dr. Smyth, Grand Chaplain, read the following address of wel- come: To the lion. N. Clarke IVallace, M. P., Most Worshipful Grand :faster and Sov- ereign of British North America and President of the Triennial Council: • From the members of Loyal Orange Association in Montreal: DEAR SIR AND BRO. —The members of the Loyal Orange Association of Montreal, while recognizing fully the great principle of equality in the brotherhood, are, nevertheless, enthus- iastic in according 'honor to whom honor is doe.' On this auspicious occasion, marked by your safe return across the sea, after havina diseharged your cuty in a hearty and efficient manner as our representative to the Triennial Council, held this year in the British metropolis, we solicit the privilege of extending to you in this public fashion a most cor- dial welcome home. Let us assure you first of all that it was with no littl'e satisfaction th, Orangemen of Canada, and Montrea. in particular, received through the public press the announcement of your re-election to the highest office that is in the power of the Orange Association to bestow, Viz., the presidency of the Triennail Council of the world, a cir- cumstance which has no precedent in the history of the Triennial Council. Your position of trust and authority august; conned that Canadahad-Moat- 'honorable: had Mosthonorable rottresentation eh its meet. inge, and eve aI•u ccpnvineed in one oven !Hind • that our cOunectian with an. lassOClation, Which ►telly' sometimes be, viewed with srtspioioni shall to tt(a way 'invaitaiato,your usefulness as a member ' of the Oto erninont, nor !sealers • the respect which all loyal Orangemen have for the Dominion executive, where Men of different religious septi• meats meet to deliberate amicably upon the interests of our comm"). country. We believe that the Orange Association is broad enough to reabiee in the fact that a Roman Catholic Premier was justified in inviting the highest official in the ranks of Orange - ism in the world to become a member of the Government, and that so far from being afraid of each other they work together over State matters in the utmost confidence, neither having to apoligize to the other for his reli- gious. or social convictions. We have no reluctance in giving our fullest endorsation to such a condition of affairs. You are a prominent illus- tration of the principles of the Orange Association which, while maintaining the independence of thought and respectful freedom of speech, concedes to those who differ from us all the liberties to which we lay claim. We recognize that our liberal heart has devised liberal things, and that you discountenance that narrowness of mind .that seeks publicity in making threats and nnseemly agitation. The Orange Association was bora in troublesome times and in the tan u,es of weir. A life of more than two centuries has brought about the day when a calm expression of what we believe to be our ivalien/tble rights will secure in the majority of ceases righteous advo- cacy from every quarter far before the fanatical clamors for battle. An association that has prospered for two hundred years and is to -day stronger than 'ever, must have many stable and commendable gtlalitikay. It does not thrive on ti u:;teroma or strengthen its life by menace. Those who favor that coarse fitre can find it outside the Order we represent, iu organizations that are born only to meet a hasty death. We are glad that you have emphasiz- ed the fact that Oraugeism is not an enemy to any man at body of men, but is the conservator of, and pleader for the, freedom of human conscience and civil liberty and equalty. °While these ►tenets remain in our historic creed the Association shall live and prosper. These are man's God-given rights, revealed to us in the Moly Bible, which we honor, as well as in our own hearts. Our welcome to you is the more cord- ial because of your pronouced senti- ments at the Triennial Council, as ..to maintains the integrity of the British' Empire. We aro united in believing that the little troubled Isle, which has claimed the attention of the world for many years, has more to fear from the rule of some of her ownmisguided SOBS than from the impartial rule .of • the British Crown. The voice of assem- blies, synods and conferences through- out her hounds havttspoken with no un- certain souncLand are OOW soliciting the sympathies of the whole Empire, lest the oak bond of un;on which has exist- ed ao long and. has been so fertile in good, should be broken. . So deeply do the Protestants of Ire- land feel their danger in coummn:with manyloyaliRoman Catholics that from houses of prayer all over the land and from thousands of family alters ascend the. fervent prayers to God's throne of grace that they may be preserved from the faintest semblance of _political separation from the United Kingdom. We are grateful for your sympathy, as expressed both in the old land and in this country, with a question so vital to all true loyalists. The interests of the Loyal Orange Association are the common concern of all who, through convictions, bear the name of Protestants and these in- terests in no way conflict with a peace- ful residence among our Roman Catho- lic fellow -citizens, with which we free- ly unite in building up a grand and mighty country, that shall be the glory and s.:rength of the British throne. 'Dieu et mon droit' is no party claim, but the legitimate heritage of all good men. That is 'all that the Orange Association contends for, and when men of every religious faith and every political tendency take their stand on that impartial platform, there shall dawn upon our beloved country the forecast of a better day. As children of one Ahnighty Father, and inheritors of the promises by union with His Son, whose heavenly heralds proclaimed 'peace on earth and good will to man,' we shall endeavour to live the sentiments and principles we profess, 'that others seeing our good works may glorify the Father.' When our lives agree with our con- stitrition there shall he no grounds for reproach from those who differ from 118. May the blessings of our common Lord test with you, your wife and family, and may your .exalted position in the state and in our Association only fit you the better to carry on the geed work you ;have so . ruuspicionsly begun, so that, in promoting the peace and prosperity of the land of the 'Maple Leaf' you may rightly claim a vary considerable share. In the name of the members of the Orange Association of Montreal we bid you a sincere and enthusiastic wel- come. Signed on behalf of the committee, Wm. J. SMYTH. ' The reading of the address was inter- rupted several times by loud applause. The Hon. Bro. Wallace was received most enthusiastically. It had been said that the Orange Association had been rising, year by year to a higher plane ; the audience, he thought, was an evidence of that fact. He was glad to see that even those who could not think with them hal: learned the lesson of toleration, the lesson which Orangemen preach and which, he believed, practised. They would not be worthy of being Orangemen if they denier. those rights to others which they, its Orangemen, claim and insist on for themselves. He was delighted at the vest assemblage, the fine music and address. It would be impossible to adequately express his feelings on the occasion. His first allegiance was to West York, but when he came and saw this assemblage in Montreal he felt like the Irish poet who sal he could he happy with either if the ther leer charmer were away. He Was xceedingly pleased to receive such a velcome in Montreal. Just recently he had the opportunity of visiting ondun, and seeing the greatness of rent Britain ; he had walked aronnd in the b ederal Government of Canada L must have assured the members of tee, G tht�. walls t)Imoua, for that' greatt oleg avhleh Orangenmu coinnrelrtoretoa 'lac had been.' . • ou; the. scene et the 'battle of the Boyne but bel Came back to Canada no less a, Cauadiab, but prouder of the Dowinion than he ever was before. They caxue tb honer the principles in which they all believ. ed, and for which their Where lived and when necessary died. He referred to the Triennial Council, held iu London. There were there many illustrious men from all over the world, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, Ans. trate, South Africa and America; men who fought the battle in o oei. tion to home Rule in Ireland: Where he found men of Ulster, firm as adamant against that measure which would surety result, if carirfed, in the destruction of the British Empire. It was owing to their persistence and courage that the Empire was to -day intact, and it would be through this that the Home Rule scheme would never be an accomplished fact. There were at this meeting William Johns- ton, M. P., Colonel Warren and other notable and illustrious men, to consoli- date and unify the Orange Association, which is calculated to be more useful to this country than it ever was before. • Bro. Wallace referred to his position in the Government. He never hesitat- ed to take a seat iu the cabinet as long as the country was governed upon constitutional lines. It was his duty to serve his country whet} no pi inciple was forfeited. He cared not for the creed of his leader if ic. 1 � govern c ecu h t e country ou constitutional lines. Orangemen want no favor in this country or any other country. All they ask and all they have asked, is that the country shall he governed on constitutional lines; that no church nor body of people shall receive fav ors not to be granted to the rest of the community, So long as any Govern- ment conducts the business of the country upon these lines it should receive the support of all patriotic citizens, and it is a man's duty to accept a position in the Government when called upon. He reminded the members of the Triennial Council that the Orange Association had led the way in political matters. The confed- eration of the Canadian Provinces was carried out on the sante lines as were promulgated a few years previously by the Orange Order, which joined in one confederation the Associatiou of the whole Dominion. A number of years ago the Orange Association agreed to form a Triennial Council of the world, and it was carried out. The example has been followed by the various colonies of the Empire, and last June they sent representatives to Ottawa to. endeavor to consolidate and unify the British Empire, following the lines laid down , bythe Triennial Council. years ago. Iis' to he hoped thet,this Triennial Council will resupit in a grand Imperial federation, snaking the British Empire stronger and firmer, carrying. civilization and commerce to -every part of the globe. The Orange constitution is such that -every Christ- ian and patriot can subscribe to it. The Order was` growing rapidly ; in Canada twenty two new lodges last year and fifteen thousand new mem- bers. Not only was there an increase in numbers, but also in intelligence and influence. They had proved to the world that they were not fanatics and bigots. They were a law-abiding and God-fearing people, and wherever there was a lodge of Orangemen there would he found a prosperous and happy people. He told the Triennial Council how the people in this country watched the Home Rule conflict and how willing they were to resist any attempt to disintegrate the British Empire. Bro. Wallace spoke of this fine country, of its millions of acres of fertile lands and fine territories await- ing settlers. Nowhere had five millions of people succeeded so well as in Canada, and there were no more prosperous people to -day. Great Bri- tain was a kind mother to Canada and the former could rely nn the latter to help it in times of trouble. They were bound by principle to adhere to their constitution, Queen and the mother- land, and they need not have.any fear of this great Dominion. 1111 orris.

A Morris fanner had a dog which be was training to drive his cattle. The canine, provokingly, one day in his owner's efforts to get the cattle through the river would head rather than heel them. Mr. Farmer stood this several times and at last decided if the dog did not do his bidding he would he a dead poodle. Again the order was disobey- ed and bang went the gun but just at the same time is cow intervened be- tween the shooter and the shot at, and the charge of shot found a resting place in bossy's head. A veterinary had to be called upon to relieve the bovine. We have just received, and opened out one of the richest and most stylish lot of these goo4s iY ever !brought to this Town, arlxnost every design and color that is new is here. Ladies will notice quite a change from last season's styles and those who buy here are sure of the latest.

His Lordship the bishop of Huron preached in St. Stephens, Goderich tp., on Sunday afternoon. On Thursday evening /neater Geo. Vivian was knocked down by a bicycle, the result being a broken leg. Lieut Chisholm who was on the wheel ex- plains the cause of the mishap to he the extreme darkness at the time. The injury is to the large bone, and is. more serious than ordinarily because master George had the small bone of the same limb frecturcd. At the tinie of writing however the little sufferer was doing well. Mrs. Grahame Meorhouse left on Monday on her return to her home, Saginaw. Mr. H. W. Ball was the past week the guest of Mr. Percy Sheppard in Toronto. Next Monday evening will witness the re -opening of the Grand Opera House after its excellent refitting and decoration. Mr. Harry Hart will ap- pear in the leading role in Rip Van Winkle and will be assisted by local talent in the balance of the cast. Mr. Hart having spent a large sum in'mak- ing the hall comfortable to the patrons he should be ib some measure recouped by a large attendance on the 17th. We congratulate Inspector • Paisley on his promptitude and success in putting down illicit grogeries, and His Worship Mayor Butiet for his severity in dealing with infractors of the law in this direction. Some hundred feet or more of the south side of the breakwater has fallen towards the R. R. track, thus making that portion of the structure unsitfe. The whole give away seems to have been caused by the use of fine gravel in the cricb which naturally held moisture and caused the timber to decay. The fog whistle is doing good service this season, numerous bush fires mak- ing the lake exceedingly dangerous. The Cambria made this harbor on Sunday afternoon during a dense fog (or smoke). If left till next year one hundred thousand dollars will not put the Goderich breakwater into a proper state of repair. Bishop Baldwin addressed the mem- bers of St. George's Guild on Monday afternoon. Mr. R. Twitchell of ()Hilton was in the circular town on Saturday. Inspector of Inland Revenue, A. Cavan was in Goderich the past week. Mr. R. Gardener, of Clinton, was in the county town on Saturday. Mrs. Mallett, of Exeter, was in God- erich the past Saturday. Bishop Baldwin preached to large congregations in St. George's morning and evening on Sunday. This able divine's discourses were evangelistic, eloquent and admirably portrayed, the word painting of his chosen text being 90 emphatic as to photograph them on the congregation. Time does not seem to mark his years on Bishop Baldwin, the prelates sermons being as strongly delivered and heart searching as they were when he was first chosen Father of Huron. The E worth League of the North street .Epworth church gave a con- cert last night, and there was a social in the Victoria street Methodist church on Friday evening. E. Campion, Q. C.,is on a trip to New Brunswicc. Mr. David Reed is recovering from his recent severe accident. Last week Shep McLeod was caught between the G. T. elevator and a G.

Taylor, of Brussels, was in town the past week. Mr. H Simmonds, of Clinton., was in Goderich on Friday. On Friday Mrs. Thomas was charged byLicense Inspector Paisley with illegal- /17 llega-ly selling intoxicaticatingairinks. The charge was heard by mayor Butler and the defendant pleading guilty was fined 850 and costs. On Friday evening there was a fairly well attended meeting in connection with the formation of a Goderich Sum- mer Hotel Co., the principal speaker being J. T.;Garrow, Q40., M. P. P. Mr. Garrow spoke strongly in favor of the plan and suggested that, $23,f .) stock should be issued, half of which should be subscribed by townspeople, and the balance by the town, the Municipality either holding half the stock or grant- ing the suns as a bonus. Mr. Garrow stated that the sum he suggested the town should grant would only cost in taxes $10 for twenty years which annualcentribution would pay principal and interest in the time stated. We cordially endorse the Q. C's plan, as it would undoubtedly he an immediate immense benefit to Goderich, and in a .few years would be no burden to the present ratepayers, for many of those brought to our summer resort by the extra accommodation would build decent residences that Would be taxed for more than the proposed annual expenditure Mrs. (Dr.) Shannon left on Monday for Cornwall, Montreal and the lower St. Lawrence. Mrs. Baldwin, president of the Diocesan Missionary Society, organiz- ed a branch in connection with St. George's on Monday afternoon with the following officers :—President, Mrs. , Turnbull; Vice -Pres., Mrs. Seeger; Secy., Miss Davis; Treasurer, Mrs. Jordan.

The Bishop of Huron lectured on Palestine in the Victoria Opera House on Monday evening before a large audience. The lecture was heartily received. as it deserved, 'for a more thorough history of Palestine could not be given in an evening's address. The Bishop's able delivery Helped con- siderably to heighten the effect of the lecture. Mrs. Russell, of Walkerville, is the guest of her relative, Mrs. M. C. Swan- son. A Brucefielcl corressandent says of the recent cricket snatch in Clinton:— Monday wail a very quiet day in town, most of the people going to Clinton or Seaford). The Cricket Club went to Clinton and had a match with a team composed of seven from the town afir team, and four from the Doherty team. . Clinton team went to bat first to face the howling of Charles and Donald Wallace, who were ably supported be- hind the stumps by Bob. Beattie. So effective was the work that the least stump fell when the score stood 12. Our boys managed to pile up 71' runs against the bowling of Houston and MacMnrchy. Clinton made 42 in the lust innings, leaving Brucefleld victor- ious by 17 runs and an innings. The boys were well treated by the Clinton cricketers.
