for the resent ,year
Mr Valentine Ratz, Reeve of Steph-
1' ,+ en, has been chosen as the Reform
(sairndidate,for North Middlesex. This
thaakes. lit a' three -cornered fight. We
do Wot know anything of Mr Rates
• mutes, i but would not regard them
asrpromltsing,in a triangular contest. In
Ithe lu:st election 51r Hutchins, the pres.
enbConservative member, was elected
• by abqut 3 of a majority, so that in a
stiaight fight if is a close seat.
The Wingham Times and Advance
propose Mr McPherson, reeve of Turn
"' , ed. The sonans raised h this cooler,
pd matter what leis pelitital feeling&, during. the year was $1,18, be society a
that Canada is laboring under NA fearful
depression, which does not •improve
with tate Lapse of ,tittle; in fact there is
not the slightest indication, so far as
we can see, that improvement can take
place under the present regime. The
government has announced its election
polky as the one that now exists, with-
out the least change—the one that has
helped to produce the depression, and
wilLin tensify it if continued. There is
little or no hope of imp' ovement but
in it reversion of the policy, together
with greater economy in administra-
tion.
As the decision will shortly be in the
hands of the electors, they alone will
be to blame if this change is not 'made.
There are many evidences that The
government is financially cramped,
and resorts to questionable methods of
raising revenue. How contemptibly
small, for instance. is the way in which
the farmers of Welland were treated,
with respect to the exportation of milk
to Buffalo, and the intended exaction
of duty on the return of the empty
cans. Of course this stopped the traf-
fic, and prevented thefarmers from en-
gaging in what would have been a lu-
crative traffid.
The present tariff is a cruel burden
to the great majority in Canada, and
if the people want relief they must
make it known through the ballot box.
There is evidently no other way.
' bery, Warded for 1"5. The Brussels
Post says:—
"The Post has much pleasure in no-
minating Arch. McMurchie, Reeve of
Clinton, for the Warden's chair in the
year 1:*15. Mr McMurchie is an old
and worthy member who has'rendered
,excellent service as a Co. Councillor
'and the Wardenship is an honor he is
well deserving of."
Mr 11fcMurchie has certainly been one
of the most useful members of the
County Cotmcil; the honor of the
Wardenship has never been conferred
upon Clinton, and as Mr McMurchie
may retire With this year, it would be
a graceful act'kon the part of the Couu.
ell to thus honor him.
The Globe advises that candidates
hound be put in the field for the gen.
eral elections inside' of the next three
weeks, ane -urges strongly immediate
action. In West Huron the Liberals
are at sea. Mr Cameron,was nomina-
ted at the. same convention which no-
minated Mr Carrow, but only condi-
tionally accepted the nomination, and
as he is in Florida his intentions are
unknown.: Mr Forrester is in the field
as the Patron nominee. and Mr Patter-
son the Conservative choice. Wheth-
er Mr Patterson intends to run in Hur-
on or not, wte cannot say, but we know
dff8,•t$n effove is being made to secure
him another constituency not far
away.
No Doubt in the Matter.
A London paper of a recent date
said: —
"Much interest is being manifested
in the case of Ald. Stepin D'Meara,
who was properly and legally noini-
sss nated,on Monday, but within the 48
horns provided by the statute he just
as properly and legally tendered his
resignation as a candidate. For an
hour or more the alderman was out of
nomination, when he was taken hold
of by some of his friends, who urged
him to consider his act, and allow his
name. t go before the eleetors. This
,finally consented to do, and went to
the ..pp1isg officer and asked to he
given -back his resignation. Mr Kings-
ton did as he was requested, hut, it is a
.fine point of law we.ether he lad any
right to do so."
There need be no doubt whatever on
this point. Mr O'Meara had clearly
resigned, and the clerk had no right to
allow a withdrawal of that resignation.
When a man has resigned he is out of
the field, and the other candidates—
if not more than the necessary number
•—are to be declared elected. The law
is clear enough on this point. Clinton
had a similar case to the above at, the
elections just over, and no matter
what opinions people may hold on
these points, those in authority have
• to go by the law—not by individual
opinions.

West got here, he was quite unwell,
and it required consideratle effort to

he is now in his accustomed health.
• PROHIBITION.
In another column will be found a
report of the decision of the Supreme
Court of Canada with respect to the.
power of the Provincial Legislature to
pass a prohibitory act against the sale
of liquor, which is in the negative. It
also decides that the legislature could"
not legally pass the Marter bill, which
was to prevent the retail sale.cThis
decision was not an unlooked for one
by thotie who considered the question
in all its bearings, knowing as they did
that so long as the Dominion govern-
ment made the manufacture and im-
portation of liquor sources of revenue,
Provincial Legislatures could not inter-
fere or stop these sources. This deci-
sion practically proves that the Onta-
rio government has gone as far as it
can in curtailing the sale of intoxicat-
ing" liquor, and, "therefore,"in this re-
spect at least, deserving of the confi-
dence .:ni1 approbation of all temper-
ance advocates.
If the temperance people are deter-
mined to continue the crusade for pro-
hibition they will have to look to the
Dominion government for it, but the
present one, as it is now constituted, is
not likely to grant it, there being too
many reasons, in their favor, for with-
holding it. Eighty per cant of the li-
quor interest are their supporters, and
they cannot find any other source of
raising the salve amount of revenue as
the liquor yields them. But, to prevent
it from being a disturbing element, in
the forthcoming elections, they may
very likely propose to submit the ques-
tion to the Privy Council for a final
decision. They will gain time, but it
is at a useless expenditure of Canada's
declining income.
them' running_pro tably, and by the
generosity pMr. Fair water tor fire
extinguishing purposes is abundantly
supplied, To supply it for culinary use
would entail a greater expense than a
town of our size could afford; in fact,
the outlay is unnecessary if the advice
of the health inspector is taken and
earth closets adopted. I think these
should be made compulsory, and it
might be done at comparatively Small
expense by getting a contractor t r car-
ry it out, then our wells would be kept
pure and supply abundance for many
years to come.
I think but little complaint can be
made as to our streets and sidewalks,
and if all our citizens would aid in
keeping the water courses open they
would help the Council to make and
keep good roads. The location and con-
dition of our town will favorably com-
pare with any town or village of the
county almost in every respect. We
have the best of educational facilities—
a library where all can obtain books at
little expense, and I am surprised that
neighboring fern. ars do not avail them-
selves of its privileges.
As all citizens, no loubt, desire that
the town shall grow and improve they
should do their part in ti.: roving their
premise and let the Council 'do its par
by keeping down taxation and make i
a cheap place to live in.
A call was recently extended hy
Union Presbyterian church, Brucefleld,
to Rev. Mr Cooper, of Elgin, and it
was fully expected that the matter
would he finally and amicably settled
by the Presbytery, on Tuesday. Much
to the regret of the Brucefield people,
however, the call was declined on Sat-
urday, and the whole matter will have
to be gone over again.
On Saturday last a meeting of the
members of the Ross church, Bruge-
field, was held to consider what action
should be taken in reference to the
future position of this church, when it
was decided to offer all the church pro-
perty for sale and disband, allowing
the members to be perfectly free as to
their future church relations. Many
of the members are likenyy to unite with
Union church, Erucefield, while others
will go to Clinton or Egmondville.
Missionary sermons were preached in
both Methodist churches, Sunday last,
by Rev. Messrs. Williams, of Mitchell,
and Learoyd, of Sarnia; the collections
are expected to be ahead of last year's.
Both the gentlemen named hold prom-
inent positions in the church, and are
regarded as able exponents of the truth,
Mr. Williams in particular being a
quick thinker, of strong and advanced
convictions, and with a mind unusually
well stored.

LOCAL UNION. -A meeting for the
purpose of organizing a Local Union of
the different young peoples' societies
of town and suri oundiug country, was
held in the Ontario street Methodist
church on Monday evening. The re-
commendation of the committee of re-
presentative societies were read and
adopted, and Local Inion became a
reality, with the following offices and
officers :-1.'Ie1 , Rev. A. I). Coltman ;
Vice Pres., Mr. 1"i. Foster ;Sec.-1.'reas.,
Miss Annie Taylor. These officers,
with the presidents of the various so-
cieties, constitute the executive of the
union. The objects and advantages of
local union wet e ably sen, forth 111 an
address by Mr. Hoover. This was fol-
lowed by an interesting and most in-
structive paper on "Prayer in Endea-
vor work," given by Miss Lottie
Holmes. The third subject. "The Eu-
devorer out of the society," was pi ac-
t.ically illustrated owing to the una-
voidable absence of the leader. Owing
to the amount, of business transacted
and the lateness of the hour there was
no general discussion of the papers.
Remarks are often made by persons
that the Salvation Army has done no
good, but we think such rernarks are
without due consideration. About ten
years ago the Army first made its ap-
pearance in our town, in the person of
Capt. Banks, a newly arrived English
Lassie, who had and will always have
a hearty welcome here. One of the first
captures she made was our old friend
Colonel Van Egmond, now 85 years of
age, who resides about two miles east.,

What Outsiders Think. ,
The Wingham Times says:—"The
Clinton News -Record says their new
Council will wrestle with the follow-
ing questions this year:—The securing
of "a town clock, better streets, a sys-
tem of waterworks, pork and furniture
factory, and lower taxation," If the
Council of Clinton can fill the bill, there
is no dcubt but peoplsof the surround-
ing towns will be anxious to know how
"the trick is done."
The Goderich Signal says:— "The
esteemed News -Record, of Clinton, is
engaged in laying out work for the
newly -elected council of that lively
clachan for the conlin year. Amongst
the suggestions inade are; —A town
clock, better sheets, a sysleln of water-
works, , pork fhc•tor'y, and a fill tlLt.nre
factory. incl as if (hats was nota
pret 1 y good chore for any town coun-
cil to wrestle with, they put on the list
as a rider t hat the taxation inust he
lowered. We can tell our esteemed
contemporary that if their proposed
waterworks system will pay no better
than Goderich has clone the' e will be
little chance of lowering Clinton's
taxes; end the ratepayers would have
to live on tooth -picks and wind -pudding
for all time to make the streets of
Clinton passable in the Spring and
Fall."
