The Empire certainly enjoyed : ;1, ipilthe protection any industry could. egbeire': It had government support to an indefinite extent. Hundreds of thousands were invested in it to help bolster it up, and notwithstanding all the artificial assistance it obtained, it eventually had to succumb. What a Qnockery to its own teachings. This is Terrible. Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister of Militia, was one of the speakers at the opening of the rooms of the Young Men's Conservative Association in To- ronto, last week. The following is an -extract from his reported speech: - "He charged the Liberals with being unfaithful to the country, and the gauntry wanted none of them. The , young Conservatives would fight their .offorts to secure power with their "se enallots, and if necessary with their bullets." .Just think of a Minister of the Crown threatening his political opponents '"with bullets if necessary." • That's loyalty with a vengeance. The pro - liabilities are that Mr Patterson really 'tad no warlike feelings when he made the statement, but it was a phrase that should never have fotmnd expres- sion. Alluding to it, the Globe says: - "We are not toldwhether the Min- ister spoke with a uniform on, a sword by his side and spurs as.big as saucers on his heels. ' To be in character that should have been his costume. Alliter- :Allen has many charms, but "she is a siren that has led many men to their ..doom, as witness that clergyman who 'Wiped Mr Cleveland into office by his -famous declaration anent Rum, Ro- \.,manism and Rebellion. Ballots and 'bullets is a good phrase, but bullets .and balderdash is just as good." • The Montreal Witness alludes to it .ae follows: -- 'There is a not of desperation in ..�... the.speech.- ..made. by Mr-Robespiere Patterson, the minister of Militia, the ,other day before the YoungConserve,- -Jives at Toronto. It is evient that if Sir Adolphe Caron fails to 'do it again' With moneys obtained from contract - ..ore and railway promoters, that Mr " '.atterson is prepared to ;Adopt South American methods of holding on to office and salary. These are surely Counsels' of despair. Mr Patterson is not, we believe, at all bloodthirsty, Mot even warlike; he is a very mild- *annerederson, who would hesitate to tilt the throat of a political enemy. ',rhie:laudable disposition makes him the more ridiculous when he poses as a oott of imitation Robespierre. Papers all over the Province, in- cluding some that are independently Conservative, are poking fun at the ridiculous position inwhich the mem- len. ter West Huron has placed him - TIRE GREAT STORM, al7800401 P MetTelCZCp ANTX Tar lreno. Su8P tlIel4P LaHx 1VE11R', eeee- Since the middle of January this sec-. tiolx,ha experienced little. else Chan .a sueeession.Of severe now st»rn)s,, bet that of Friday last was the'most severe one experiicnced for a number of years. The therm meter ranged .very low, the show, fell in •blinding clouds,. and., the .wind blew, a -hurricane,; With' no let-up.; for abOnt:30 hours. The consequence, was that roads which h+rd recently been dog out were wen a aln impnseable, immense: drifts formed in all 'sections, and the railroads, were blocked so that business was practically at.it S(a10et0l. The train whicii•ehouid have reached he e on Friday, afternoonn, front Steal,* ford, got stuck near Mitchell,while the trail,} for Stratford gol stash at Dublin. Here they t'enIained until Saturday, When a etiew-plow got to Clinton. .A, train followed it, arriving .here late in the afternoon, but could proceed no farther, as the plow had in the mean- time got fast near Holwesville. The train for Loddon, due here at 7;30 a.rn., Saturday, did not succeed in -getting here until five hours after, and both trains, with their passengers, had to remain here until Sunday afternoon, by which time the track was clear. The up train on the' L.,:H.&B. got stuck at Exeter, and was not relieved ►until Sunday. The snow packed so solidly that a depth of a foot was enough to impede travel. The railway authori- ties, through their agent, Mr .Pattison, did all that was requisite for the com- fort and convenience of the belated passenger% who philosophically- made the best of their circumstances. Trains have been running this week, with their accustomed regularity, but it will not take much of a storm to again in- terrupt travel. Church Chimes. --- Special services will be commenced in Ontario St. church on Sunday even- ing next. We are sorry that, owing to other engagements, Rev. J. W. Shilton, of Walkerton, will not be able to occupy the pulpit of Rattenbury St. church next Sunday. Rev. J. A. Fairlie and wife were the recipients of several articles of silver- ware from the members of the Wo- men's Auxiliary of St, Paul's church one evening recently. The presenta- tion took place at the residence of the Misses Mountcastle. The Kincardine Reporter says :- Rev James Livingstone has been asked by the congregation" of the Methodist church to remain with them for an- other year. In this the congregation has represented everyone who knows the reverend gentleman. The Listowel Standard says :-"At the adjourned vestry meeting held in Christ church on Tuesday of last week the following resolution was passed: - "That it being' understood that Mr Parke purposes resigning his charge of this parish, this vestry desires to place on record their hearty appreciation of the ability and earnestness displayed by him in his ministry, and regret the decision which is leading him to an- other field of labor, and we would unite in bidding him God -speed in his future work." The choir of Ontario street church gave an excellent concert on 'Monday evening. Owing to the storm the choir master, Mr,Geo. Oakes, was not able to get in and assist, so that seve- ral pieces, in which he was to have been a participant, had tobe omitted. The program embraced several selec- tions by the choir, instrumental duet by Misses Andrews and Gibbings; solos by Mrs Hoover, Mr Sibley, Miss Orpha Miller, Mr Spalding and Mr Foster; flute solo by Mr A. Stoneham; barritone solo by Mr B. J. Gibbings; recitations by Miss Mountcastle; duet by Misses Andrews and Hamilton; Rev W. Smyth occupied the chair. DEATH - We regret to hear of the death of Mrs McKenzie, mother of Mr 1 Alexander McKenzie, of town, and re. list of the late David McKenzie, of Stanley, which occurred at the resid- ence of her son-in-law, W. Forsyth, in North Carolina, on Sunday, Feb. 3rd; she was an esteemed resident of Stan- ley for about 40 years, but bas been away for a good many years; she was over 90 years of age; the only children living in,Ontario are Mr McKenzie and his sister, Mrs Walker, of Wroxeter. JOHNSON-SMU.Y COMBINATION. -Mr W. R.. Coggeshall, representing the Canadian Entertainment Bureau of Toronto,was in town to -day complet- ing arrane-ements for the appearance in Clinton of Miss E. Pauline Johnson the noted Indian Poet reciter, and Mr Owen A. Smily the celebrated enter- tainer. They come under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church, on the even- ing of Thursday, Feb. 28th. As Miss Johnson is well and favorably known in Clinton, no doubt there will be a crowded house. • CHARITY MATTERS. -A resident in town write; as follows: -I am glad to see that some ladies of our town are appealing to the charitable public, in having a concert in the town hall, this (Friday) evening, to get funds to help the poor in °this hard winter weather.; many deserving, ones are often over- looked, although the town poor com- mittee have been giving to urgent cases, but the ladies can look after par- ties who are sick, by sending some nice food that will be suitable, aleo cloth- ing tor children, that cannot be given by men. Three of our churches' com- mittees have been attending to the poor. Some of our 'working men have been adding to their share in the poor fund, by allowing tenants to live in their houses free of rent; some have made a large contribution to the poor funds in that way. As there are so many men out of work, it would be a kind act, as well as complying with our by-law, to give some one a trifle to clean the snow off the sidewaike, as many working men would rather work than ask for charity, yet their families suffer. Some of our citizens are giving' private charity, and I know that their donations werev received with thank- fulness.

The bad effeot on business of the prevail- ing that a man can select. ing uncertainty in the political world is noticed in Dun's weekly coprmeroial report, which notes it as one of the causes from which business intereste have suffered in Ontario. A Quebec paper calculates that of the twenty-two constituenoiee in the Quebec district, Mr Laurier will to a certainty carry seventeen, and the proepeots are that he will also win in at least three of the re- maining five. The Toronto Telegram states that Mr McNeil, M.P. for South Perth, ebould be proceeded against for perjury, he 'having denied repeatedly any connection with the P.P.A., while the eleotion court proved that he was chaplain of a lodge. The Goderioh Signal says that Mr Pat- erson, Minister of Militia, knows he can- not be elected in West Huron, and there+ fore will not run for that constituency. It is asserted that Mr Paterson will take re- fuge in the Lieutenant -Governorship of Manitoba. The Toronto News says: "There will be e monster Conservative convention in Tor- onto in about two weeks. Every Censer vative organization will send delegates, while Premier Bowen and some of the Cabinet Ministers will address a mass meeting in Massey Hall. In East Hastings the Liberals have de- termined not to bring forward a candidate, but to support the Patron nominee. The constituency gave at the last general elec- tion a Conservative majority of over 400, so that the Liberals have not much to lose by withdrawing from it. Some idea o! the tax on industry impos- ed by the cosl duty may be gleaned from the statement that on the coal contract which the Grand Trunk Railway mom piny has just entered into, $300,000 will be Collected by the Dominion Government. No wonder that times have been hard on the railroads. The competitors to the Canadian lines do not have to pay these taxes. Some of our conservative contemporaries seem to think they have disarmed all crit- icism of the effect of the stunting N. P. on the country when they have said that there is $267,000,000 in all the savings banke of the country. Suppose there is. Isn't it it little hard that the pnblio debt of the country should be great enough to absorb all the aoommulations of the people ?7 - Hamilton -Hamilton Times. The Conservative party has changed much more during the last four years than has the Liberal party. Four years ago the campaign was opened by Sir John Thomp- son, Hon. G. E. Foster, Mackenzie Bowell, John Carling, and later on by Sir John A. McDonald and Sir Charles Tapper. Two of these have died, another has retired from public life, and Hon. Geo. E. Foster is alone an active campaigner. CRAIG -In Goderich, Feb. llth, Wm Craig, RIGHT Hos. G. J. Gosuas-The subjeot is one of great importance; I should like to see the existing number of policies largely extended. The practical value of life as- suranoe-has been fully recognized by mem- bers of the House of Commons, and I think it difficult to over-estimate the enormous advantage's the system offers to the com- munity. Inoome tax has never been levied on any income required for the payment of a life insurance. • Rev. PHILLIPS Baooxs - I know 110 113811 who ought not to have his life insured, ex- cept it be the wandering Jew. And perhaps for him some sort of an endowment policy would be a good thing, something that might lead him to lay aside for future use a little of that moss that such a rolling stone as he has been must have accumulat- ed. If I may speak of my own profession, I tanoy that there is none that profits so much by the great Work that you are con- stantly doing, as the profession of the min- istry. Ministers, almost all of them, exist on Starving salaries. Just as soon as they begin life, and moat of them begin early, families accumulate and anxieties increase; perhaps they are not thrifty; they trust too largely in a gracious Providence; their whole life becomes hampered. The work that they are doing, the truth that they are preaching, the relations in which they stand, begin to be burdened and weighted down by the awful question as to what is to come to those for whom they are respon- sible, when they themselves are passed away. These opinions can all be put into prate tical operation by taking out one of the un- conditional, non -forfeitable policies of the Confederation Life Association, which com- pany is represented in Clinton by Mr Israe' Taylor; and in the county by Mr W Taylor. NEWS NOTES Franois Pigeon met - hie death at Wis- iier's distillery in Prescott,by falling into a tub of water. Mr Wm. McKenzie, a farmer resident on con. 4, East Williams, was struck by a G. T. R. train and killed on the track between Lucan Crossing and Ailsa Craig. The weather continues intensely cold throngheut the midland district of Eng- land. In Yorkshire the therotometer re. gistered 10 degrees below i ero Monday. During last month officers of the Fish- mongers Company, of London, seized and destroyed at Billingsgate market forty- two tone of fish which was unfit for human food. • The Public School of Ridgeway has been closed on account of the prevalence of a virnlent form of diphtheria. Typhoid fever is also rampant, and a number of deaths have occurred. Mr Sam'nel Lenore, of Russell County, became impaled while. chopping in the woods. He lifted himself by a branch above his head, but after walking home in dreadful agony, died from his injuries. Volney Ashford and his brother Clarence, now of Honolulu, and reported ae being concerned in the rebellion there, were sons of Mr Jas. Ashford, formerly of the town- ship of Hope, near Port Hope, Ont., where they were both born. Two men were arrested at Ingersoll, on Sunday, on the charge of making counter- feit money. The house of one of the pris- oners was searched, and the moulds and material with which the spurious coin was made were found. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Trinity College sohool, Port Hope, Ont., was oompietely destroyed by fire. The total lose is estimated at $80,000, with an insurance of 845,000 on the building and 816,000 on the contents. Dundee Street Methodist ohurch was de- stroyed by an incendiary 'lire off "Tuesday night; it was next in importance to the Queen's avenue ohnroh. The lose of their two leading ohnrehes within a period of ten days, is a most severe one to the Metho- diets of London. Tuesday morning Mrs Wm. Craiok. shanks, of Chealey, committed suicide while laboring ,ander mental depresaion. She was found suspended by the neck with, a wedged to a bedpost in her bedroom. When found life was extinot. She leaves a husband and a large family of children. The cold snap appears to be general. In Britian trains are muoh delayed, and the coasting trade is hampered. In France the cold is intense.

The act shall never be changed as long as this govern- ment ie at the helm. . By it we will stand or fall." Perhaps the Toronto World ie annoyed because it was not made the government organ; this is what it says about the Mail - Empire deal: -"One of the monrnfullest, mieerablest spectacles known to journalism has come to an end For over eight yearp, nearly nine years, the )Bail has sought to dedevil the Conservative party, the party that brought it into existence, that nursed it for the years whioh preceded its dew - tare from the fold. It now admits that all its efforts have;been in vain, and its prayer to be heard again into communion has been hoard." A striking evidence of Sir Richard Cart- wright's strength rn Oxford was the an- nouncement made from the platform of the convention on Thursday, by Mr M. S. Shelf, the candidate of the Petrone of In- dustry nominated in Marelrlast to contest the riding.
