The Crusaders will sang in Ontario St. church on Sunday morning next, and in Rattenbury St. church to the evening. Service will be held in the Church of England, Holmesyille, at 11 a. m. and at Summerhill at 7 p. m. by Rev. Wm. Stout on Sunday, 7th inst. Sunday School anniversary Sermons will be preached in Rattenbery street church, on the 14th inst., by Rev. J. Walker Shilton, B. A., of Walkerton. Among the callers on friends this week were Rev. Jas. Livingstone, of Kincardine, and Rev. Jos. Edge, of Goderich; both are looking and feeling well. Rev. J. W. Holmes and Rev. Mr Galloway, of Seafnrth, exchanged pulpits on Sunday. The old friends of Mr Galloway are pleased to see that he has entirely recovered from his pro- tracted ailment. Bishop Carman, of the Methodist Church, gives it as his ruling that no minister can be returned to a circuit by the Stationing Committee, for a fourth year, even though invited back, except in extreme cases where the cir- cdmstances are of such an unusual na- ture as to warrant it. Mr John Mulley, formerly of town, but for four years a resident of Detroit, has been unanimously chosen by the official board of one of the Methodist churches of that city, as Superintend- ent of the Sabbath School, which has a membership of over 300; his old friends here are pleased to know that he is engaged in so good a work; he is a bro- ther of Mrs. James Twitchell. The Signal intimates that if Heidi- lnand re-elects Dr. Montague, a bye - election may be sprung onWest Huron. 19fI'he'Liberais are ready for it any time, .and would tike nothing better than a quick contest. The Ontario Government is making a new contract for the publication of school books, whereby the cost will be somewhat reduced. In this as in other respects, the =government, looks after the interests of the people. Mr German does not intend to press in the Local House his bill relating to the taxation of the property of tele- graph and telephone companies. The bill is in the right direction, and should be put on the statute book. Mr Stratton has got "tired" of his bill proposing to license bicycles, and has run it out of the Local House.- "Wheel"venture the opinion that seve- ral "cycles" of time will elapse before any other "crank" will bring it in again pnuem'atter how feasible it looks. Mr Creighton, late of the Empire, bas been appointed deputy Receiver General, at Toronto, at a salary of $3000 a year, in place of Mr Campbell, who has been superannuated. Mr Creighton well deserves an appoint - anent, but the principle of superannu- ating one civil service employee to make room for another is decidedly wt ong. Four Dominion elections are shortly to be held, three of which were held by Conservatives, and one, in Quebec, by the Liberals. It would not be at all surprising if all went for the govern- ment this time, for the Liberals are not paying any attention to then, prefer- ring to hold their strength for the gen- eral election. The McCarthyites will oppose Dr Montague, in Haldimand, but the government will likely see to it that he is not defeated. There is a bill bef3re the Local House entitled "An act to provide for the In- spection of Steam Boilers and thequal- ification of persons in charge of the same." If it becomes law in its present shape it would paralyse half the indus- tries of the province. According to its provisions no steam engine can be run except by persons who have passed an examination and have a certificate as an engineer. There are thousands of t, steam engines run today by persons who are competent for their positions, but who would not pass an examination. The bill is absolutely uncalled for, un- warranted, unworkable. In our recol- lection only one accident ever happened in the county of Huron from a boiler explosion. The indications are growing that the Government proposes throwing the Manitoba school matter into Parlia- i lent, making it an open question, and disclaiming all responsibility for ,the result.--41ontreal Herald. tinder the heading, "No Compro- mise,'' the Winnipeg Tribune says:- "it id learned from a high source that there it not the slightest truth in the 144)01'6 as, division in the Ideal Oabi- XtettiVer the school question, but that emir Mei:al er is resolute in his deter- rliilnatlofi to stand by national schools, ti hlwtter what the Ieytie May be.

Last Sabbath they were of unusual interest and spiritual pow- er. At the evening service quite a number decided for Christ. The con- gregations this week are large and the interest increasing. Rev. Mgr'Smyth is personally conducting the services, Rev Mr Holmes assisting. Since Sunday upwards of twenty have been forward as seekers of salvation, come of them very promising young men. The Hensel] Methodists are putting a new organ into their church, and hold special exercises in connection with it on Sunday and Monday next. Miss Boles, the efficient organist of Rattenbury St. Methodist church, goes down on Sunday to operate the- organ, and Mrs Cbowen and Mr Sib- ley, of the Rattenbury St. choir, take part in the Monday evening exercises. The Hensall people know where to come when they want proficient mu- sicians. The will of the late Rev. D.G. Suth- erland, made fifteen days before he died, has been entered for probate. He leaves real estate valued at 35,787, consisting of King street west proper- ty, 33,500; five lots in Wesley Park, Niagara, $650, the balance being made up of land in Manitoba. His personal- ty is valued at 311,802.90, consisting of household effects, $200; mortgages, 31,583; life insurance, $2,000; stocks, $6,815; cash, $1,104.90. His wife is made sole legatee and executrix. The Toronto Star says: -"It is likely that the Bcard of Knox College, at its meeting on Thursday wi11 have to con- sider the question of the resignation of Rev. Dr. Wm.

THE ROYAL TEMPLARB.-'Phis lodge is growing. There were two initiations on Tuesday evening. The present home of the lodge is the Orange Hall, but if the membership continues to increase as rapidly as it has of late, new quarters' must be looked for. The members and officers do all in their power to make themeetings interest- ing. At the last rneeting the Glee Club sang a chorus,. and Mr CaCook gave a mouth organ solo, which was much appreciated. It is under the auspices of this lodge that the Crusad- ers conduct their work here. As the the reputation of the Crusaders is well established, we prophecy a large at- tendance at their meetings. The mass meeting at 4 p.m., on Sunday, in the town hall, is sure to be especially in- teresting. Be sure you do not forget the place and the hour. HURRY AWAY WINTER. -The last two weeks of a March like this depart- ing month are enough to drive the patriotic eulogist of the Canadian winter to unsay everything that he ever said in praise of the austere sea- son. Winter is all right in moderation. The season, which is emphatically the Present Winter has not been long. December was open and there was a green Christthas, but early in January the winter struck its gait, and is still going. May it go soon. The Canad- ian climate is the best in the world;but even the ardent patriot who is over- taken by a cold towards the end of March passes under the sway of a gloomy conviction that the Canadian climate could improve its excellent character by slightly abbreviating its winter. COUNCIL. -The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday night. A petition from James Stevens and others, concerning a wire fence on the west side of Albert street, north, was referred to the Street Committee. A petition from residents along the north side of Princess street, asking for removal of the willow trees on the Park, alleged to be objectionable, was referred to Councillors Gilroy and Tay- lor. Mr Wheatley was appointed Health Inspector, and Dr Shaw Medi- cal Health Officer. A number of ac- counts were passed. Councillor Searle rnade a verbal report concerning the trees that had been cut down. The committee appointed to consider the matter of street watering made no re- port, but will meet to consider the question; a motion that the town pay 200 towards the same was defeated, and one for 3100 carried. It was de- cided that the question of purchasing a town clock be left in abeyance. A grant of $7 per month utas made to- wards the maintenance of Miss White, provided she be removed to London hospital, or elsewhere. Since the burning of Main St. Metho- dist church, the question of a union of the two Methodist bodies in Exeter has been discussed quite freely, and has gained favor. A conference took place when the basis upon which the Main Street people would be willing to unite, was lard before the people. Decision was reserved for a time, upon the an- nouncement of which, action will be taken either towards union or the erec- tion of a new church by the Main St. congregation. The proposal made by Main St. people was that James Street congregation join in the erection of a new church in a central location. LOCAL UNION. -A splendid program has been arranged for the Local Union meeting to be held this (Friday) even- ing, in the Presbyterian Church. Three addresses will be heard. The first is on "The Endeavorer out of the society,"by Holmesville league. The Second, "Sys- tematic Beneflcience," by Turner's.and the third subject treated will be "Take the next step," by Londesboro." Afree and full discussion will follow a ch ad- dress. A good attendance and an en- thusiastic gathering is looked for. The Canadian Hymnal will be used tor the congregational singing. While young people especially are invited, everyone is welcome. The services in the Baptist Church, conducted by Evangelist W.H.Palmer, are growing in interest. Night after night the building is filled with young and old, who listen with appreciative attention to the stirring gospel mess- age. On Sunday night Mir Palmer took for his text II Kings v, 1, "But he was a leper." This thrilling narrative of Naaman's cleansing furnished material for three soul -stirring eermons,conclud- ed on Tuesday evening. Mr Palmer's manner of presenting the truth is very engaging, and one listens to his dis- course from beginning to end with un- divided attention. So far the meetings have been highly successful,each night witnessing to the presence -of -God by •men and women seeking salvation - The evangelist bas consented to term {n here this week and next, when jle leaves for Lueknow. because, forsooth, i#'they forsake "their C10.. a a Scan ane, an as nil bounds, It is an body knows it better benefit by its publics.. illx Halberd or Mr �,'Dl,• e to take an affidavit heft Qo: Joined a oom- dvatraed by lea >t and ask them if they �lievta Windsor Qo, making 600 an salt ever he placed est igQorable gixoum• They know it cannot. ode for business ander eopleydort't order from oroed into � pombiue le forcing in former noted the man to -day easily forced as anybody deceitful practices. willing to concede to orad a bargain with way.

I Clinton, April 2, Now the true history of this deal that the Patrons of Industry have made, so far as salt makers are concerned, is this. Salt was first made in Ontario in 1868; and from that time to 1870 it sold for about $1.80 per barrel, at whioh. figure the makers received a fair return upon their capital, and which the public considered a fair and cheap price, for be1'pre ,that time they had paid American makers muoh higher prices. Therefore, to start with, the salt makers conferred a great boon upon the public, by the investment of their capital 'in the de- velopment of this industry. But about 1870-71 salt works begun to multiply to such an extent, that combination of inte- rests among the manufacturers was deemed necessary, • and for a few menthe prioes whioh had fallen to 90 Dents were advanced to $1.25. 'There was no outcry in those days against this movemeht. Farmers well remembered the days of $2, $3 and $6 a. barrel for salt, and their gratitude to those who risked their money in a business that saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and 'opened up to them a market for all their timber of every kind, had not expired. But this combination soon oame to an end, and with a few desultory at- tempts of one kind and another, cheap prices were the rule till 1882. In the mean- time the public had profited to an enor- mous extent, and salt makers in numbers lost all they ever possessed. A orks were for sale by tens if not by scores, at 10 Dents in the original $. In 1882 an Association was formed, whioh, for three years, kept up prices fairly well to a paying basis. But outside competition sprung up at Brussels, Courtright, Hensall, Exeter, and the celebrated Grange well at Kincardine, kncwn as the Ontario's People's Salt Manu- facturing Co. with a celebrated Mr Doyle at the head of it. Mr Doyle, like his success- ors, took's, good deal more credit to himself than he had any right to do, and claimed his company of Grangers had smashed up that iniquitous combine. We salt men knew that it was the Grange Co. and the Courtright Co. and several other causes, led to our disunion, but the Grangers had to blow a trumpet then like they are blowing to -day, to keep up the spirits of their select circle. In 1885 prices again fell, and for four long years salt men lost money freely. Firm after firm failed. Many thousands of dollars were bat, and much more would have gone the same road, but the Salt men again made a deal and, mark it well, this Grange Co., the Ontario People's Salt Manufacturing Co., this Destroyer of Com- bines, this smasher -up of Iron -heeled Mo- nopolists, this Murderer of Salt Butchers, this Incarnation of Fair Play to the Poor Farmer, this Oo. who existed for the bene- fit of the down trodden tiller of the soil, had had an experience of four short years of competition, not twenty years like others, four short years in whioh, owing to their stock holders all being consumers of salt (much on' the same principle as the Irish- man who drove a thriving trade in his saloon, by drinking his own whiskey) they had obtained a better price on the average than the rest of the salt makers -this O.P. S. M. Co., were as glad -aye gladder, as willing, as eager, yes, a good deal more wil 'ng, more eager, than some to enter thi Nmbine o share in the ill-gotten ga' s thew, They coninned in that combine, they recruited their wasted ener- gies, built up what had been a half sickly, moribund, dead -and -alive institution into a healthy, vigorous concern. They took an active part, to put it mildly, and rendered valuable service in the conduct of this Atrociouss Monopoly. But time wrought ht changes -and early in the spring of 1892 we began to hear rumors of the C.P.R. go- ing in for salt on a large scale at Windsor. This opened the eyes of all the members of the Association to the fact that diasolation was not far distant. Then it was that this Kincardine Co. took action to secure bad- ness on a profitable basis. Any salt man knew that the price, whioh had been 85o., must go to 500. without an association, and nobody knew it better than the managers of the O,P.S.M. Co. Now, although this Company had, by their managers, been instrumental, (I can prove this by the records of the meetings.) I repeat the O. P. S. M. Co. had been mainly instrumental in reforming the Association in January, 1892. Yet in the summer of that year, not much more than six months after they had put seal and aignatnre to a document binding themselves to keep faith with the others like honest men for twelve months, we, the Canada Salt Association had to ob- tain an injnnotion from the courts to force this honorable company to keep to the bar- gain"$hey had been mainly instrumental in forming! Mrs. Taylor of Lucan died at London. Her age is said to be 104 years. The Orange Grand Lodge of Manitoba have summoned a convention of all per- sons who favour a system of national schools. Mrs. Elizabeth Green, the white wife of Isaac Green, Indian,of Shannonville. has been found guilty of attempting to burn her husband in his bed. At Stratford, James Shean of Loan Township was found guilty of stealing some fifty sheep from Whyte & Sons, and sentenced to five years in peniten- tiary. John O'Shea, a professional swim- mer, died at Kingston. aged 65 years. During his life be saved about one hun- dred persons from drowning, besides recovering many bodies. When the farmers of Ontario find it necessary to take out 190 chattel mort- gages orsgages a day it can hardly be said that they have realized the promises of N. P. prosperity made to them. The Mail and Empire was good en- ough to decare that Dr, Montague "can reason on his feet," and the Ham. ilton Times reports that "many who have listened to his recent tariff speeches got the idea thathe "reasoned with his feet." At a meeting of the Hamilton W. C. P. U. held on Thursday, a motion en- dorsing t he candidature of Mr. W W. Buchanan was defeated. The elem- hers pledged themselves to support any candidate favourable to prohib- ition, irrespective of party. The Mail's Ottawa correspondent in- timates that no attempt will be made to legislate on the Manitoba school question at the coming session, and that the electorate will have an oppor- tunity of pronouncing upon the policy of the Government in the matter before final action is taken The Kingston Whig says that Sir Mackenzie Bowel( is having a hard experience of it. No one took office under less promising circumstances and with so little hope of success. All his predecessors, from Sir John Mac- donald down, have had rebellion in the Government thrust upon them, and have put it down. It remains to be seen what he can do. If he cannot Command the ship of state he had bet- ter surrender. Perhaps that is what Str Eibbert is working for. In the meantime they had made bargains to supply the Patrons of Industry with salt at 65e., for three years, when the very day they were legally ablo to ship the first bar- rel, salt could be bought for 50e. These contracts, however, do not last forever, and have to be renewed tc be of any use, and it is just here that I have been abused. In the Patrons paper, the San, I have been described as doing my best to get up an- other Association at the beginning of this year. This is a lie. 1 did not take any part in bringing the salt men together. I was asked to attend, and I attended, just the same as the Secretory of the O.P.S.M. Co. Mr Tolmie was invited and attended the first meeting. I did a good deal more work than he did afterwards, for it would hardly do for the Patrons to know he was taking an active part in such bad work, they might have smelt a rat, who can tell? This deal fizzled out. Your readers would like to know why. Well l one reason, and a very prinoipal reason was because this o,P.S.M Co. felt their oats so much, felt by their deal with these Petrone that they had each a whip band over us salt men, that all they asked as their share in the deal was praotioally one fourth of the whole salt business l The O.P.R. wanted a pretty big aline, but this Company, that poses as the opposer of combines, the friend of the farm- er, and all such rotten twaddle,when all the time it is dollars and cents they are after, like ourselves, only we honestly own np to it, and they do not, only wanted about one- fourth of the whole salt business 1 We told them No, with a big N. And now, when I tarn round and try and secure some of the Patron's trade by letting them know, through advertisement and otherwise, that I will give them' salt 20% cheaper than this O. P. f3. M.
