Mr Mos' itt's majority seems to go up on every vote; on Wednesday he had 45, but the Conservatives helped to make it. With the resignation of two Cabinet ministers, and more threatened, the government papers will, as usual, an- nounce that "the Cabinet is one har- mcnoious whole." Pretty soon there will be nothing but the hole. The proposal introduced in the Local House, to compel all bicyclists to take out a license, is absurd, and the bill --obould be killed. What need is there of licensing bicycles any more than a 'baby carriage, or a road cart, or any other vehicle? If it is true,as reported in yesterday's papers, that Hons. Charles Hibbert Tupper, George E. Foster, and Clarke Wallace have added their resignation to that of Hon. J. C. Patterson, it, in- dicates a state of grave uneasitess in the Cabinet. At a public meeting in St. John's, Nfld., the other day, protests were of- fered against the colony entering the -Canadian union. In view of the enor- mous demands made on Canada, • as the price of its coming in, very few will regret that it does not come. The beauty of red tape in govern- ment is strikingly shown by the fact that although Speaker White attended the funeral of the late Sir John Thompson, he has not yet been offici- ally notified of his death, and cannot issue a writ for a new election until he is. Mr 11 J. Cantelon's letter in last week's NEW ERA has evidently stirred a hornet's nest, for two annoymous writers attack him. There is this to be said for Mr Cantelon, who was born and bred in the Conservative faith, he , bas evidently seen the errcr of his ways and repents; his accusers con- tinue to sit in the shadow of darkness. Some of the government papers are intimating that the coming session cf parliament will be short and unimpor- tant. But it will not be anything of the kind. Mr Laurier is credited with the statement that if the government un- dertake to gerrymander Quebec as proposed, the session will last a year, for the Opposition will keep it going until the legal term of the present Par- liament expires, and they would be perfectly justified in so doing. Easily A.uswered The Oanada Farmer'Sun wants to know how much per line the NSW Has. received for Ws editorial alluding to the West unusual action of the Sun, in permitting an anobymous correspond- ent to assail personally an advertiser , )that paper, end refusing the Oyer - 'titer, whose money the "Sun" had taken, presumably to give some value for, the • privilege of reply. The San should no,t, measure other people's corn with its own bushel. We would Scorn to take the money of an advertiser, andthen deliberality nullify practically the result of such expenditure of our uustorner's money,by actions similar to those of the Sun. We doubt if any editor in Canada would be guilty of such contemptible conduct. It may surprise the Sun to hear it, but we state, and affirm it if desired, that v, e were not requested to insert the article in question; it originated from our owu conceptions of honorable and dis- honorable ways of doing business. — Much less did we receive or ever hope to receive. one solitary Cent for its pub- lication. A fair fight is one thing, but in our opinion the Sun, in this trans- action, has acted the reverse of fair or honorable to its customer. We have the best cif authority for saying that a letter was sometime ago forwarded to the Sun for publication, on this matter, with a request to inform the writer of it, what would be its cost for publica- tion. So far the letter has not appear- ed in the Sun. nor has the inquiry been answered. This may be the Sun's idea of fairness, but it is not the newspaper code by any means. As a stroke of policy the government has made a good move in callitig par- liament together, for no matter how grave the questions that will have to be faced there, both parties will be compelled to meet them. We do not think the government's chances of suc- cess in the election will be improved by the delay, at least so far as affected by the trade question, but many things may intervene which might be favor- able. The Mail -Empire thinks it will now be some time before the elections are held. This is what it says:— "There is a feeling abroad now that the general election has receded con- siderable into the distance. The pre- sent Parliament does not pass out of existenee until the 14th of .April, 1896, and all that:the law requires is that within a year from that date there should be another session. So that, if thought advisable, tho people might be given till the end of next year to medi- tate upon the issues that are arising, and determine how they will mark their ballots." John Bell and Sarah P wallow, the latter a widow, were found dead in bed with , their throate cnt at Toronto, Sunday morn- ing. The couple bad been living together for some time. Bell had evidently mur- dered Swellow and then committed siorde. Three prisoner° under sentence in gaol M Woodstock, &welting transfer to the Central Prison, made a desperate attempt 10 esespe. They threw Mr. Cameron, the gaoler, down, and got as far as the yard, 'when they were caught and overpowered. Hon. J. C. Patterson retires To be Lieutenant -Governor of Manitoba. Wednesday's papers announced that the Hon. J. C. Patterson had resigned his seat in the cabinet, and had been offered the Lieut-Governurship of Man- itoba, but that he will remain in the cabinet without portfolio for sorne time yet, as it is not considered desirable open West Huron, which would be apt to go against the government. The vacant portfolio will fall to Dr. Monta- gue, and an election in Haldimand will come off immediately. The last redis- tribution bill made Haldimand a safe constituency for the government, and therefore it will be the first bye -elec- tion. The patrons have decided not to oppose Mr. Montague, and it is hardly likely the Liberals will do so, as the present parliament is near its end. The reason given for Mr. Patterson's withdrawal is that the burden of de- partmental and political work has of Late been telling upon his health. He is president of the Conservative Union of Ontario; as the chief executive offi- cer of that institution he has had to devote much time and labor to the in- terests of the party. From this, by the change, he will be given relief, as well as freedom from the tasks of depart- mental administration. This may be the true reason for his retirement, though there are those who assert that Mr. Patterson foresees his party's defeat at the next election, and rs seeking shelter for himself. His ap- pointment to the chief office in Manito- ba is causing trouble already, The fol- lowing is from the Manitoba Free Press "There are reasons for hoping that the repo! t of the appointment of Hon. J. C. Patterson, as Lieut -Governor of Manitoba, is unfounded, or at least premature, but the report was quite sufficient to stir up indignation in Win- nipeg. But few men on either side of politics have believed the government would be guilty of the folly of passing over local men, and sending up an east- erner. If the announcement proves true, certain it is that the government will have another big row m Manitoba, to deal with, and the most vigorous kickers will be those to -day recognized amongst the staunchest supporters of Conservative rule. Scores of well- known Conservatives to -day were heard entering emphatic protest to the appointment as governor of Mr Patter son or any other eastern politician.— If the government persists in doing so it is certain that many of them will kick over the traces, for they consider this about the last straw." Another report says:—Manitotra has always contended that its governor should be a Manitoba citizen, and this unlooked-for attitude has only added fuel to the flames. Hugh John Mac- donald, son of the late Premier, pub- lishes an appeal for moderation, point- ing out the clangers of the situation.— He pleads that conflict be avoided and peace restored by some form of com- promise. It is the first appeal of the dead Premier's son to be unheeded.— The temper of the people of Manitoba is now such that only a courageous man would suggest compromise. OTHER RESIGNATIONS. Yesterdays Globe says:—"There is no longer any attempt to conceal the gravity of the disputes which divide the Cabinet at Ottawa. The Hon. J. C. Patterson has resigned his portfolio. The Hon. N. Clarke Wallace has pro• nounced against the policy of the Ad- ministration on the Manitoba school question, and his resignation is with- held only upon the plea that he is not a member of the Cabinet. And now comes the resignation of Sir Charles Hibbert Tuppei, the successor of Sir John Thompson in the Department of Justice and in the leader of the Nova Scotia Conservatives, announced in at least two Government journals and confirmed by inquiry. The insanity plea will, it ia.said, be enter- ed on behalf both of Chattelle and the Valleyfield murderer. Bach an appeal should not be listened to for a moment. A man who is sane enough to kill is Me enough 10 hang. (MINTON otresee sosaeas,..;.. CliiirCli 011111408. • Rev J. Edge of Goderich, was here assisting Rev W. Smyth, in *Veda' services, this week. Don't forget the next meeting of the Local Union, to be held Friday evening, April 5th, in the Presbyteriau church, Full announcement next week. On Sunday ne*t Rev Jos.EdgeOf Godericb, will preach in Kincardine. and it is expected that Rev W. W. I Leech, of Varna, will supply for North I street,. There. are at least three Methodist churches in this district that change pastors next June by reason of their terms expiring, vizi—Ontario street, Clinton; Seaforth and Dungannon. It is said there will be several other changes also. Sunday School anniversary services will he held in Rattenhury St. church on Sunday and Monday, April 14 and 15. The Sundayservices will be spe- cial Easter exercises, to be conducted by some outside minister, and the Monday evening services will be as in- terest ing as usual. Rev. W. W. Spading. formerly of Clinton, has been invited back to Fergus for another year, and Rev. C. E. Stafford, of Drayton (formerly of Holrnesville) has been iovited back for his third year. alluding to evangelist ic services held at Owen Sound, a cor- respondent alludes to a former Olin- tonian as follows:—"Rev. Geo. McKin- ley, by his hard and faithful work, has made many warm friends" The anniversary services held in the Baptist church, last Sunday, were well attended and full of interest. In the morning Mr W. H. Palmer preached to a fila house,from Heb. 11. 30, setting forth the duties of Christian workers, and the mighty triumph over Goo's enemies through faith. Rev Mr Stew- art, who preached in the afternoon, delivered s vis y interesting and help- ful disceoree on "The dying thief," pointing mit very beautifully the way of salvat ion, as inn:Aral ed in t he words which tell of this matt's dying experi- ence. 1i) the evening Evangelist Palm- er again preached to a crowded house. His etibject was "Who is my neighbor?" The gospel was very powerfully pre- sented to the people for nearly an hour. The theme was illustrated and explain- ed from the parable of the GoodSarnari- tan. Mr Palmer has excellent ability in applying the scriptures, having such a large acquaintance with human na- ture, and such an extensive scope of experience with the world in general. We venture to say no one came away from the meeting without having a keen sense of his spiritual power ex- hibited in his bright and eloquent dis- course. Mr Palmer intends (D. V.) staying a few days with the people of Clinton, and expects to see a crowded house each evening. N ITC% idlow•14 n • .1... Ton ionENos sumous CONDITION -- The New York World's special Lon- don cable eaye:—Mrs Emily Crawford contributes to this week's Truth the first public mention of QueenVictoria'e serious condition, concerning which there is much private discussion. Mrs Crawford writes that on her arrival at the railway station at Nice the Queen emitted unable to ['aide her head. She looked up and around under her eyelids, as if wanting strength to look othei wise. One might have thought that she did not feel her feet under her as with the assistance of her se vants she tried to descend the sloping gang- way from the train into the station. It is well known among those familiar with court affairs that rheumatism of the knees has lately not only developed complete loss of power over both legs, but has extended to the hack and arms, and that a fatal issue is to be feared at almost any tiine. The reports of the Queen's condition seriously affects the Parliamentary sit • uation. On the death of the sovereign Parliament is immediately dissolved. This contingency is undoubtedly an important factor in all present calculi). - dons. The political atmosphere In fact is charged with sensational possi- bilities. THE TREES.—Mr. Editor, I think the Council has done a wise thing in ap- pointing.a committee to look after oar shade trees. I have noticed that where a few trees have been cut down it has made quite an impi ovement. I hope the committee will still go on until every objectionable tree is removed, arid all the others properly pruned.— On the street east of the Model school the trees are so thick on the streets and in the private lawns that the sun does not dry up the road. I do not see how persons expect trees on the north side of their houses to be a shade, as the sun goes south, therefore, too many hoses keep dampness around their buildings, and *hen planted close to the fence they grow into the street and spoil them. The committee told me there are Borne houses in town the roofs of which are rotten, owing to the trees planted in the garden, hanging over them. Yours, A CITIZEN. COLLEGIATE NOTES.—The Collegiate prophets have declared that spring is at hand. We suppose they have adopt- ed the plan of t he ancient augurs, and have been watching the flight of birds. The snowstorm of Monday, however, proved that the early crow is not a sign of an immediate spring. Mud and slush have made outdoor exercise dis- agreeable. A football pr n.ctise was call- ed for Wednesday, but on account of the water on the field it had to be post- poned. On Monday the roads were so bad that those driving to school were unable to reach town. Some came on foot and others did not come at all.— The work in the upper forms has been almost covered once, and for the rest cf the year the pi incipal work will be re- view. Everyone is anxiously looking towards Easter, which occasion, it is expected, will be celebrated in true hol- iday style. The holidays will last from April 11 to April 22. If we can judge from the discussions which sometimes arise among the boys, on matters of general importance, we should say there is in our school material from which vigorous and forcible debatets are made. The wheel question referred to in last issue, has finally been settled without bloodshed. Exeter ACCIDENT. -- On Friday afternoon last, Mrs Elizabeth Little was attend- ing the household duties at the resi- dence of Mr E. E. Ward, of the Mol - eons Bank, when she fell and broke her hip. Doctors set the broken limb and the patient is doing nicely. METHODIST CHURCH BURNED.—Son- day morning about a qiiarter to four it was discovered that the Maiu Street Methodist church was on fire, and by the time the lite brigade arrived the church was one mass of flames. Fire war breaking through the roof and flames were creeping up the tower. The fire brigade was powerless to save the church, as the fire had such an headway before discovered, but they prevented the flames from spreading. There can be no doubt the church was set on lire, as there had been no fire in it since Friday. It is believed the torch was applied by the same party who had tried to burn it down last year. Loss about 810,000; insured for $5,200. This church was known as the Canada Methodist church, the other one in the village being original- ly a B.C. church. THE REMEDIAL MESSAGE The remedial message from Ottawa, ordering Manitoba to give the Catholic separate schools, was read before the Manitoba House, on Tuesday. The order was sent by Lieut. -Gov. Schultz to the ProvincialSecretary,and was read as a communication from the governor. Afterwards the House pro- ceeded with its usual work. It is ne- cessary that 48 hours, according to the rules of the House, must elapse before the order can be discussed. The Premier was asked if there was any probability of the order being pass- ed over in silence, and he replied that it was eute to be discussed in the House, Political -- Hon. J. C. Patterson was nominated as the Conservative candidate in Kent. Mr Lander is so ill that his physician has forbidden him to address any public meetings, so he will rest and recuperate until the opening of Parliament. Mr Haycock's bill to amend the medical act was voted down in the House Wednesday by 71 to 15, the Government and Opposition unititg in opposing it. The Winnipeg Nor'-Weeter holds up, the Ontario public institutions as models in point of economioal management, that it would be well forManitoba to imitate. An- other feather in the cap of Sir Oliver and his associates. Mr Haycock, leader of the Patrons in the house, says that his party would not put a candidate in the field of Haldimand, in case a bye-eleotion should occur on ac- count of the acceptance of a portfolio by Dr. Montague, the sitting member. The Perth Courier says George Taylor, M.P., the Conservative whip, is likely to be appointed warden of Kingston penitentiary. But Mr. llietoalf was promised that job and he says he means to have it before the election comes on, or know the reason why. , Thus far in the country's history a fifth session of Parliament has been unusual, having been held only twice —in 1872 and 1878. Unless the writs for bye -elections are issued at once the House will meet with three seats vacant and the Senate with eleven. The Globe again takes the position that the Dominion Government should not ib - fere in the Manitoba school queetion Be cause it has the power to interfere it should not exercise that power. The provinces should be left to administer their affairs in their own way. The question ought to be settled, not upon religions grounds, but upon the broad ground of Provincial rights, a ground upon which Liberal and Conserv. ative, Catholio and Protestant, French and English, may stand and work together for tbe unity and prosperity of Canada. Regarding the Manitoba matter the Orange Sentinel says: The Government and The Conservative party had better take warning le time. Absolute ruin awaits any body of men which attempts to stem the tide now tieing in Canada. No man oan bope to carry a single seat in this Prov- ince unless he is pledged to supportilenitoba in the coming struggle, should the Dominion Cabiuet be infatuated enough to attempt to curry favor with the Roman Catholics by insulting the Protestantsin an effort to foist separate schools on Manitoba. NEWS NOTES Mr Edward Corran of Tamworth was kicked by his horse and fatally injured. The second son of Mr Charles Taylor of Tay Township, was killed by a fall- ing tree. Mr R. H. Bethune, Manager of the Dominion Bank, died last Wednesday evening. The fnneral of Lady Montagu, called the prettiest girl in London, took plaoe last Thureday.

The Bell Telephone C,ornpany is ening the Montreal Street Railway Company for $27,000 for damages caused to their system by the trolley system. At a mass meeting held on Friday night at SeJohn's Newfoundland,the confederat- ion movement was condemned, and Great Britain was asked for a Royal Commission Mr. Gladstone has shortened hi etay on the continent, and is in England again. It is said to be coming daily more prob able that he may for a short time again lead the Liberal party. Ada, the three-year-old child of Mr. Tait Graham of London, was drowned in Kettle Creek, Bt.Thomas, and her companion a girl named Murphy. is missing, and was probably also drowned. An orderdn-Council was passed on Mon- day, authorizing the Minister of the In- terior to extend assistance in the way of seed grain to those who are in need in the North -West -Territory. A man known by the name of J. C. Cole- man, supposed to be one of the cleverest diamond thieves of America, was arrested at St.Mary's onSaturday,on a charge of try- ing to obtain diamonds from a Toronto dealer on false pretences. The trial of Martin Maschke, charged with burning a cheese factory in Met- calfe Township about a year ago, could not be proceeded with at the Assizes at Pembroke owing to the clerk of the court having lost or mis- laid the indictment, on which a true bill had been found at the last court. 01.1104 ROGERS.—In Clinten, on the gath inst., the wife of Ur Geo.
