I4'llnton Is the best town in Huron County a•- The Royal Commission costs theIi eo- ple of Canada $1(X),U01, and'then did 'not find out anything more than was known tit fore. The grant of $L,3Ull,(NN), to thg e _ fu'clson Bay Railroad is little short of an outrage, for the --road; Tf-built, will be almost worthless: Sir Richard Cartwright, asserts that the deficit for the nine months of this year is $5,016,000—the largest ever ex- perienced in Canada—and he chal- lenges Hon. Mr Foster to refute it. The Liberals are having a jolly time in parliament this session. ,They are unmercifully roasting the government members over the alleged dissensions in the Cabinet. and exposing its sins and shortcomings. There are at present ten vacancies in -the Senate, and the Hon. MacKenzie Bowell is authority for the statement that "these have all long since been promised." The country would be just as well governed and much better off financially if these ten were never ap- pointed and the balance swept away. The Senate is about the most antede- luvian concern there is in Canada. If the Ontario government appoints Mr Wood, M.P., for. North Brant, to the vacant Registrarship there, as re- ported, it will do what it certainly should not, and which is in direct vio- lation of one of the recommendations of the Fees Commission, that neither memhers nor ex -members. unless they had previously retired for a term of years should not be selected as officials. Abolish It Altogether. Mr Charlton has introduced a bill :into parliament to abolish the Domin- ion Franchise Act. His bill is one that -every member should support, but it is not at all likely they will. The Act bas been enormously expensive to the country, and has also cost private members a large amount. No one, un• less they are actively' associated 'with politics, has any idea of the labor elevblving upon either party in the preparation or revision of the lists, and even when this is done. they are far from satisfactory. The Provincial lists shauld be good enough for all purposes, and they should be used. No amendment of the Franchise Act will suffice; its repeal—lock, stock and barrel—is the only thing with which an intelligent community should be content. The following candid ex- pression of opinion is not from the col- umns of a Grit paper, by any means, but is from that three-ply Conserva- tive paper, the Hamilton Spectator:— "The Dominion Franchise Act ought to be repealed. It should never have been put upon the statute book. It is cumbrous and terribly expensive. Its slew -moving machinery must be set in motion every two years, and many persons must negect their business in order to see that fhe proper names, and none but the proper names, goon the list. The cost to the Government of preparing the lists is but a portion of the cost to the country, for much work must be done every time new lista be made and if there is no election all this work, all this great expense, tyoCs for nothing." is a decrease of about $500,000 as com- pared with the estimates of last year, but it must not be forgotten that last year, just as parliament was ready to prorogue, the Government brought down supplementary estimates for $1,801,478. The same will likely hap- pen this year. When Mr Mackenzie left office the annual expenditure was less than $25,000,000 and his opponents contended that this was far too much. Assuming that the demands of the country are somewhat greater than they were then, and allowing ten mil- lions more than Mr McKenzle's expen- diture, (which is a liberal allowance) it will be seen that the present Govern- ment still propose to expend over six millions more than this large sum, Even an independent Conservative paper like the Montreal Star is far from satisfied with the estimates. Here is what it says:— Mr Foster has attacked our expendi- ture with a pen -knife, when nothing short of a buzz -saw would have suf- ficed. The country is threatened with a thumping deficit. Mr Foster pro- bably knows pretty accurately how much it will be; and he must take us all into his confidence when he rises in a few days to deliver his budget speech. Now there are only three ways of meeting a deficit. One is to clap on more taxation; a second is to run deep - et into debt; and a third is not to spend more money than we have. The first of these programs is impossible in the present temper of the people; the se- cond is recklessly improvident when we already have a debt that costs us over twelve millions a year to look after; and the third is hopelessly aban• doned on the first estimates which Mr Foster has brought down. What then do the Government propose to do? The only sans and patriotic course would be to revise and curtail their own esti- mates. It is all 'very well to plead that this would be very, very difficult un- der the circumstances; but our expend- iture must be brought within the four corners of our income at some time— and the sooner, the easier. Our people have no intention of taxing themselves more heavily in order that the Govern- ment tray build Curran bridges and Quebec harbor works with a freer hand. It less is taxation and not more that the country is clamoring for; and if the Finance Minister goes abroad to add more millions to the public debt, he will be followed hysuspiciou s disappro v - al. He may as well bring the guillotine down upon pet expenditines now as at any time. OBITUARIES. Church Chimes. Rev. Mr Stout preached in St. Pi ul's church on Sunday. Rev, A. Stewart exchanged pulpits on Sunday with Rev. Mr .Acheson, of Kippen. The May meeting of Wingham Dis- trict, Methodist church, will be held in Wingham, on May 14 and 15. Next Sunday the pulpit of the flu - tisi church will be occupied by. Rev Mr Anderson, of St. Marys. The Quarterly services of both Meth- odist churches will be held on Sunday next, commencing at 10 a.m. shay Huron Presbytery will meet at Min- ton on the 14th inst., and Maitland Presbytery at Wingham on the 21st inst. Mrs Large, the well-known mission- ary to Japan, has been re -called, and is now visiting her sister, Mrs Detior, at North Bay. Mr. A. Day, Provincial Sab. School Secretary, will spend from the 5th to the 12th of July in Sabbath school work in Huron. In the church transfers appears the name of Rev A. W. Tonge, of Milver- ton, formerly of Blyth, who goes into Niagara Conference. , The Goderich District meeting, Meth- odist church, which was to have been held at Hensall on the 15th and 16th inst., will be changed to the 16th and 17th. Rev F. E. Roy, of Hensall, will ex- change duties with Rev Wm. Stout on Sunday next. Services at Holmesville at 11 a.m.; Middleton at 3 p.m.; Sum- merhill at 7 p.m. Mr Andrew Callander has been ap- pointed choirmaster and Mr Frank Callander organist of the Askin St. Methodist church, London, in succes- sion to Mrs Chadwick, resigned. lMr Callander is a former Clintonian.J The ltev. R. Hall, of Lucknow, and pastor of the Ashfield circuit of the Methodist church, was last week sud- denly sl rrckcn with partial paralysis of the brain, and for some days was in a very critical condition, but good hopes ale now entertained of his re- covery. Arrangements have been made with the celebrated Ball Family, (colored) whereby they are to give one of their musical entertainments in Ontario Street church, on the evening of May 27; they will also take part in the sing- ing exercises the Sunday previous. The eveningservice in Ontario street church, last unday, was particula"ly interesting from the fact that those who had been converted during the recent services, were received on pro- bation. After an appropriate sermon, eighteen candidates were received on probation and six by letter, Rev Mr Smyth conducting the entire exercises. The members of St. Joseph's church held their Easter celebration last Sun- day. The altar looked pretty with its heavy load of flowers, while the choir did honor to the occasion, by their un- usually good singing. Mrs Watts' playing on the violin, as accompanist, was much appreciated. The vespers consisted of choruses by t he choir, solos by Mrs Julian %Valli, Mr Jones and :Hiss Jones, and a duet by Misses O'Brien ants Jones. f . %vas an noun( ell that the church was entirely nut of clel}1.s,,.j'cu_whir-li the. -members -of the congregation have reason to be con- grat slatted. 1 The adjourned vestry „f St. Paul's church was held on Monday evening, at 8 o'clock. G. J. Stewart was ap- pointed vestry clerk. The warden's report was read, and the auditors hav- ing testified that said report was cor- rect, it was passed, and copies ordered to be printed for distribution. The reports of the W.A.M.A., Y.L.G., and L.A. were also read. A short discus- sion was entered into, as to the advis- ability of having the church lighted by electricity, which resulted in request- ing the finance committee to see the Electric Light Co., and ascertain the probable cost of this lighting. Messrs W. Jackson, W. W. Farran and G. F. Emerson were added to the finance committee,which was authorized to re- arrange the sitting in church as in their opinion will be to the best inte- rests of the church. Meeting closed in due form.—G. J. STEWART, Vestry Clerk. The change of Conference boundaries thio year, in connection with the Meth- odist church, is likely to ._cause a re- adjustment of circuits, or rather give an opportunity for a re -adjustment said to be in the interests of several circuits. It is proposed to take Shar- on appointment from Holmesville cir- cuit and add it to Hayfield, which is then to come off the Mission Fund and be selfrsustaining. Zion appointment, at present connected with Victoria St., Goderich, it is proposed to associate with Holnresville. Jackson's appoint- ment, now belonging to Blyth, it is proposed to add to Walton. Turner's appointment, now belonging to Ont- ario St., Clinton, and Alma, belonging to Seaforth, it is proposed to associate with Londesboro, put a married man and young man on the circuit, and Five Londesboro and Kinburn preach- ing twice a Sabbath. These are a few of the changes spoken of. It may hap- pen that none of them or all of them will be made. but they are, neverthe- less, under consideration. GONE TO AN ETERNAL REWAiw.•— We have to record the death of Mrs Ann Coutts Straith, wife of Mr Peter Strath, Clinton, on Thursday, April 25th. She was taken illwith erysipelas about two weeks before. For some days hopes were entertained of her recovery, but as the disease developed it became evidentthat recovery was very doubtful, and the Members of the' _3)mily_1Lere _auua-riaoned'-hnTne Rev71- Peter Straith, of Innerkip Ont., arriv- ed on Sabbath morning, driving from 'Stratford tj,uring the night. Mrs E. B. McGhee, Bellona, N.Y., and Mrs John Scott, Chicago, arrived on Tuesday; Mrs S. %Vilson, Iowa, on Thursday morning; Mr Geo. Straith, Chicago, who was out of the city when word was sent to him, was not able to get here till Saturday morning. Mrs Straith was born in the parish of New Machar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1847. Mr Straith's brother, the late Rev. John Straith, was married to a niece of the late Rev. Wm. King, of the Buxton Mission, and through his advice Mr Straith, in 1857, came to Buxton, where the family spent four years. In 1861 the family moved to Clinton, where the home has been ever since. For some years Mr and Mrs Straith have been living by themselves, the family having scattered to differ- ent parts of Canada and the United States. Besides those mentioned above there are Mrs Geo. Hyde, Oxbow, As- sinaboia; Mi John Straith, Virginia, and Mr Wm. Straith, New Orleans, who were not able to get here for the funeral. Mr and Mrs Straith were married 48 years, and the mother's death is the first in the family. Mrs Straith was a type of the old Scotch people; like many others et the first settlers, she and her husband bad their early struggles. The funeral was held on Saturday at 4 p.m. Rev. A. Stew- art, of Willis Presbyterian church, for whom as her pastor she had the deep- est respect, conducted the funeral ser- vice, and spoke of the sterling qualities of the old generation now fast passing away. He remarked that those who knew the deceased best recognized that by her removal an unostentations, earnest, conscientious and unselfish life had just come to a close. The teachers of the Presbyterian church of which Mr Straith is one, came to the house after S.S. on Sabbath and held a ser- vice of sympathy With the family. The bereaved husband and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their affliction. A BEAUTIFUL LIFE GONE OUT.— Last Friday, at noon, Miss Harriet Bay's life of patience and long-suffering came to a close. She had been failing gradually for the past year, and a cold caught on Sunday, April 21st, was more than her frail body could bear. She was one of God's lamps, set in this sin -burdened world to lead her fellow - creatures on the upward way to eter- nity. Beautiful in her sincerity and truth; beautiful in her Christ -like pat- ience and endurance; beautiful in her tender sympathy with the sad and suf- fering. The •quietestnurse in sickness; far well she knew, from sad experience, the meaning of pain. "Whom the Lord loveth, He ehasteneth." There is no need to dwell upon the accident in early life, the result of which set her apart from all other women, as some- thing sacred; as an object of especial care and love; and her heart was ever overflowing with tenderness and gra- titude to those whose affection and reverence placed her on a pedestal above all others, Long will her friends remember their last look on her sleep- ing face, as she lay in her coffin, shriv- ed in roses and lilies, emblems of puri- ty and sweetness; typical of her spotless life, and loner will this memory remain to them a safe -guard against the evil influence of the uncharitable and the worldly, and thus will the light from her life still shine in Clinton, where it has shone for so many years. 00111. PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN.—Last weeks issue of The Canada Presbyterian was noteworthy owing to increase in size and the special in- terest and value of the contents. It con- tained a complete report of the annual meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mission - any Sooiety, extending to fourteen columns Every member of this important Society should have a copy, Other useful features are the Christian Endeavor Department, by Rev. W. S. McTavish, B. D., St. George; the -sabbath School Leeson, by Rev. W. A. J. Martin, of Toronto: and letters from missionaries in the foreign fields. "Sundays in Scotland" is a bright description of several ministers and churches in the motherland of so many Canadians. All the regular departments are usually full. The publishers offer a trial subscription till 1st January next for one dollar. Sir Henry Tyler, so long President of the Grand Trunk has resigned, and a new President and board of directors will be elected. It bas for a long time been felt, rightly or wrongly, that it was a mistake for the President of the Grand Trunk to reside in England and direct its affairs from there, and com- mercial men have taken the view that if the road were put under manage- ment on this side, and its service im- proved, it could h&made a paying c n - cern. The people' of Canada will be delighted if the changes contein la ed are carried out, and especially will ti: y be glad to learn that the direotori Will Manage the concern in Montrt 1 instead of from London. Parlialueutary Notes. ' The funeral expenses of Senators Flint and Glasier wear paid by the Senate, The Sir John Thompson memorial fund now amounting to $86,450, and subsorip- tione are still being seat in. The public dept keeps mounting up, as is shown by the increase of interest payable from $10,141,193 80 last year to $10,579,384 68 this year. The total amount paid to revising oilmen to April 20, on account of the recent revis- ion, was $148,287. The further amount required would be about $12,000. The cost of printing the liete was $35,166. The expenses of the Canadian High Com- missioner's office in London amounted td $10,000 salary for Sir Charles Tupper; $8,- 200 for his staff and $10,687 for oontingen • oies. The contingencies contain $200 of an allowance to the High Commieeioner. The post of maintaining the Tay canal last year was three thousand seven hundred and twenty five dcllars, and the revenue amounted to cne hundred and twenty-six dollars. This is an exhibition of the busi- ness -like methods of the government. There are two theories afoot as to the duration of the session. Cne is that it will be short, with another session in the fall, to be followed by a general e- lection. The other is that this session will be dragged out to September, with the election in the winter. There is no positive date on which to give an either way. The Minister of Public works states that it would take $6,000,000 to com- plete the improvements on the canals of the Dominion. The Dominion does not intend to deepen the canals and channels of the St. Lawrence to any greater extent than is requisite to com- plete the improvements in progress. Mr. McMullen proposes that the salaries of the Lieutenant Governor in Quebec be reduced from $10,000 to $6- 000, and of the other provinces, except Prince Edward Islanld, to $5,000. To the governor of the last named Mr. Mc- Mullen would give $4,000 a year. ([Even these are liberal salaries3for figure- heads.) Th8 speech of Mr Costigan in the House on the school question is taken by a por- tion of the press as the first Intimation given by the federal Government that they are prepared to accept a compromise from Manitoba. If a compromise was desired by Mr. Costigan, or any of his colleagues, they have gone ab2litt it in a very curious way, as eminent lawyers take the view that the order must be obeyed or disobeyed; there is no middle course. A correspondent of a Conservative paper says:—A Conservative friend told me that the new dicker between the Government and the C.P.R. is on a giganic scale. Ile asserts that the company desires to let the Government resume control of the seven- teen millions of Northwest, land owned by it. For this the company are alleged to want $20,000,000 in Government 4 per cent bonds. I bear there is friction in the Cabinet over the matter and that Sir C. H, Tupper is again on strike because the Fin- ance Minister hesitates to promote the proposed gigantic deal. Mr. Julius Scriver, the veteran member for Huntingdon, presided at the Liberal caucus Tuesday morning, which wasattend- ed by every member of the Opposition at present in the city. The leader delivered a stirring address, and a number of memb- ers also spoke. The programme for the session was outlined, and it was resolved to compel the Government to adhere to Par-iiamentary arid- constitu iduart" practice' in the onduct of public business. The evasion andwithholding of information from Parliamant we're condemned. The meet- ing is said to have been both harmonious and enthusiastic. Sir Hibbert Tupper has a new scheme under way. He wants to appoint. Premier Blair of New Brunswick to the position of Chief Justice of that Province, and it is re- ported that he also wishes to appoint Premier Fielding of Nova Scotia Lieuten- ant -Governor of that Province, the present incumbents' term of office expiring in July next. The object of the Minister of Justice is to get rid of two strong Maritime Pro- vince Liberals in view of the approaching general election. It is hoped that Premier Fielding, who cut such a splendid figure at the great Liberal Convention in Ottav,a, will contest a seat for the House of Com- mons, and this proposal rather frightens Sir Hibbert. Franoios Bourassa, the Liberal member for St. John's Que., and the oldest member of the House of Commons, having entered the parliament of old Canada in 1854, has probably run his last legislative experience. For two years the mind of the 80 -year-old father of the House has beerr weakening, and at three o'clook Wednesday morning the old gentleman was found wandering about the corridors of the House of Com- mons, olad only in his night dress. Early in the evening he had been put to bed in a private room in the building. Drs Guay and McDonald decided that the best thing to do would be to serd Mr Bourasea home, and he left in charge of an attend- ant. His advanced age renders his recovery problematioal. The chief characteristic of his affection seems to be complete lose of memory. The Patrons of Industry, of Quinn, Ont., have passed a vote of censure on Mr 8. L. Pardo, M.P.P., for the course he pursued at the lest session of the Local Legislature. The trial of Clara Ford, charged with the murder of Frank B. Westwood in October last commenced on Tuesday after- noon at the Toronto Criminal Assrzee. At the Toronto Assizes on Tuesday the grand jury returned true bills against Dallas T. Hymane and Harry P. Hymens. brothers, oharged with the murder of Wiliam C. Wells, on Japnary 16th, 1893. A leading ohnrch member of Winnipeg happened to be out late the other night, and when passing his church going home was astonished to find the organist in her place, playing lively music, to which the members of the choir were holding a dance. Archbishop Langevin, of St. Boniface, delivered an address before fully five thous- and people in the Church of Notre Dame, Montreal, on Sunday, in which he referred to the attitude of the Catholics of Manito- ba on the school question. He declared that the Manitoba Catholics having cer- tain rights granted to them by the consti- tution, and endorsed by the highest court in the realm, theee rights meet be recog- nized, and the rights df the Catholics to the full freedom of their schools acknow- ledged. There will be no compromise and no retreat from that stand. The Globe says:— We understand that Sir Oliver Mowat expects to leave for Eng- land next month. The principal ocoasion of hie going this year is the prohibition case which goes to the Judioal Committee of the Privy Counoil by way of appeal from the Supreme Court, Mr. McLaren, Q.
