THE NEWS -RECORD has entered upon On Tuesday evening of last week one its 'seven'teenth year of publication. The present owner has had a share in the management and destinies of the paper almost since 1880, since AV ex- clusively. That THE NEWS -RECORD has for years and to -day takes a well - merited first place among the provin- cial papers there is not a doubt. Edi- torially, -locally, -and in every' other respect "we fear nae foe." While we are producing a first-class paper, it takes money, and lots of it, to accomp- lish this. We are not becoming rich, But we are living and hope to for a long tine if honest labor permits. TO our advertisers and supporters gener- ally we extend our thanks for their liberal patronage and ask for even an extended support. Reformers as well as Conservatives can read THE NE vir RECORD with profit to themselves and their families. In reading THE NEWS - RECORD people may or may not agree with certain utterances, but it should always be remembered our views are tolerant and broad. We are building a grand nation on national principles and broadness •of mind and consistent advocacy must be the coroner stone fur the grand structure now in process of erection. THE NEWS -RECORD • is part and pareel of our native and great» Dominion, and speaks out for many people wheneyer occasion demands. Ever y section should be represented in our columns. To- our many corres- pondents who have labored ho faith- fully during the year we return Our sincere appreciation and ask them to continue their labors. THE NEWS - RECORD wishes friend and foe in All sections a very merry Christmas and bright, prosperous and happy New Year. • CANADA VS. UNITED STATES. An article appears in a recent issue of Bradatreet's on the experience of Canada during the panic in the United States last year. The New York Eve- ning Post endorses what has been snid, and makes the following summary :- - "In the first place, Canada had no panic, because she had no cause of panic. She had no Sherman silver law in operation, pouring millions of Treas- ury notes into the (emulation whether they were wanted or not. The hanks. and not the government, supplied the currency of the country as it was wanted, and redeemed it when it was not wanted. The result of the two different systems stand in glaring con- trast to each other. The deposits in the banks of the United State c fell off 20 per cent. between May aad Sep- tember, 1893, while those of Ca.nadie fell off only three per cent. The loans and discounts on our side of the line fell off 12i per cent., while on the other side the shrinkage was only lA pee cent: In fact, the only trouble in Can- ada was due to its proximity to us. It, was a sort of induction from the great disturbance in the neighborhood , but Canada fortunately had the means for minimizing even this. Her bank I system was so arranged that the de - mend for more currency could be met on the very day and hour when it came." - WILL our-SIEAD STEAD.

The splendid new town hall there was well filled with interested electors. The speakers were the Hon. J. C. Patterson, Hon. John Haggart, Senator Ferguson and Pr. Montague, M.P. E. -L. Dickenson, the candidate for East Huron, presided and in his opening remarks clearly de- monstrated that he has a 'broad grasp of national politics and is in favor with the electors. The ministers and party were presented with well worded ad- dresses from the Wingham and Gorrie Conservative Associations. Each of the four visitors delivered themselves ably, dealing with almost every branch of the public service to the entire satisfac- tion of t he meeting, and in favor of a continuation of progressive Conserva- tive Government. Near midnight the meeting closed amid great enthusiasm. MACKENZIE 130 WELL 18 PREMIER. Our readers are no doubt" all aware ere this that the cruel hand of death has claimed the honored Premier of Canada, the Hon. Sir John Thompson. When the news flashed from the Royal Chambers to Canada last Wednesday about noon people were incredulous.; they could not believe it. However, the sad intelligence was soon confirm- ed. A full account of the tragic affair will be fonnd in another part of this paper. The Cabinet dies with the Premier and a reconstruction cr reorganization must tette place. The natural thing has been done. Hon. Mackenzie Bowel] has been asked to undertake the task of forming n, Cabinet. He will of course ask his associates in the late Cabinet to resume their functions in, the new government, and that they will accept and give him loyal support goes without saying. There are many and good reasons Why Mr. Howell should be chosen for the responsible post of premier. He is the oldest, man in the late Cabinet. He is an able debatee. He is a capital department manager. He has taken much interest in the trade question, and has made himself familiar with the in tercolonial trade idea. He stands high in the 'estimation of his French Canadian colleagues. He is sound on the protection question, and, above all, he is a clean, honest, upright man against whom the slightest allegation of dishonesty was never made. His most reckless enemy dare not attack Mr. Bowell's reputation for strict in- tegrity, and, perfect honesty of pur- pose • . . WEST HURON MOURNS. Last Friday Capt. Joseph Beck, Presi- dent of the West Huron Conservative Association, telegraphed to Lady Thompson as follows 'On behalf of the Liheral-Conserva- tives of West. Huron 1 desire to express our sincere and heartfelt.sympathy to yon and family in your great afflic- tion." The following reply from Joseph Pope, addressed • to the :oyal and thoughtful President, was received on Saturday ;— " Lady Thompson desires the to con- vey to you and the Liberal -Conserva- tives of• West Huron her grateful thanks for your kind message of sym- pathy." President Beck's action was timely and in keeping‘with the sincere sym- dathy of our people at the sad and sudden death of one of Canada's great - Stanley. The Rev. Mr, Leech being absent last Sabbath reinducting anniversary ser- vices on the Dungannon cercuit, his work here was supplied by Mr. MeTag- gart, of Chiselhurst, who rendered very acceptable serviees.
