FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1896.
So far Parliament has transacted very
!little business beyond discussing the
budget, which has not yet passed.
Volume four of the Royal Liquor
'pommission report, lies on the table
,land may be had for the asking by any
One who wishes to peruse it. There are
.;elely 3,2C0 pages of evidence already
published, and by the time this is di-
gested the reader will be'able to form
:an opinion on the subject, if he has not
• •pne formed already.
It is said that Newfoundland's debt
cif $15,000,000 is one hindrance to its
,entrance into Confederation although
the Dominion Government has offered
to assume $10,00 0,000 ot this. But why
should Canada assume one cent of its
debt? The addition of Newfoundland
to the Dominion is not worth one cop-
per.
R. J. McLaughlin the Liberal candi-
date in North Victoria, has accepted
the Patron plank declaring for the
-abolition of the Senate. The whole
Liberal patty would do well to follow
Lis example, and this is not the first
time we have said so. Abolition is a
much more taking cry than can be
furnished by the half -way resolution
about reform of the Upper House
adopted at the Ottawa convention.
Besides, abolition is the only remedy
that can be applied to a body that is as
useless as the Canadian Senate.
During a speech in the House the
other day, Hon. Mr Foster said that
the people would never allow the Libe-
rals control of public affairs until they
'were convinced of their ability to man-
" age them. That's only a question of
•opinion. It evidently does not require
!much ability for a government to allow
contractors to squander thousands of
dollars improperly, nor is there much
ability required to increase the public
debt by enormous sums. A good many
people are of the opinion that the Li-
berals have both the ability and hones-
ty to manage the affairs of the Domin-
son, and it is among the possibilities
that the Liberals may shortly have an
opportunity to display these qualities.
His Place, The Commons.
The Toronto Telegram says:—The
Dominion Senate is no place for the
Premier of a free country like Canada.
The qualities which secured party
favour for Mackenzie Bowell had no
relationship to hie rank as a Senator.
Thi party accepted him as leader, not
because, but in spite of the fact that he
vas a Senator. The head of the .Gov-
ernment should be in a position tore -
present the people, and be directly
and immediately responsible to the
representatives of the people. The
b act of a representative Government
is ould not sit among the irresponsive
nd unrepresentative place men in the
enate. If the party wishes Sir Mac-
kenzie Bowell as leader, he should be-
come a representative of the people
again, and sit among the representativ-
es of the people in tills House of Com-
mons." //
These views are exactly what we
have expressed. It is an absurdity for
the Premier cf the Dominion to be out
sof touch with the people—and he is
certainly out of touch 190 long as he re-
Inalns ih the Senate.
The Vacant Judgeship
The vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Toms has given rise to some talk
as to who will likely be his successor,
but a recent act of parliament makes, it
possible that no successor May be ap-
pointed. The act in question 'provides
that
"No Junior judge shall be appoint-
ed in any district, county, or union of
counties, unless the population shall
exceed 80,000."
As the population of Huron is not as
large as this, it may happen that the
place shall remain vacant. If Judge
Doyle goes up to the Senior judgeship,
then no junior judge would be appoint.
ed. But the work maybe greater than
Ione judge can discharge, and Judge
Doyle may stay inhis present position.
In this event the Dominion Govern-
ment would he called upon to appoint
a Senior judge. Among the mimes
that have been mentioned for this pos-
ition are those of Messrs J. T. Gamow
and E. Campion, Goderich, and Mr.
Dickinson, Wingham. Politically Mr.
Garrow, has, of course, no claim what-
ever, but no one will dispute his special
fitness and ability for the office. The
other gentlemen named having political
sympathy with the government, have
much stronger claims, and as these
things go by political favor usually, it
would be no cause for surprise to see it.
fall to the lot of some one in sympathy
with the powers that be. Without
any reflection upon the other gentle-
men named, we believe the appoint-
ment of Mr. Garrow would meet with
the approval of the Bar generally, and
give universal satisfaction throughout
the county. But Mr Garrow's practise
may be worth more to him than a
judgeship, and he may not want the
position.
Huron Presbytery.
The regular meeting of Hnron Pres-
bytery was held in Willis Chnrch,Clin-
ton, on Tuesday, Rev. Mr McKay, of
Leeburn, moderator, in the chair.
There was a large attendance of repres-
entatives. Rev. W. Marten, of Exeter,
was appointed Convener of the Horne
Mission Committee. Thereport on the
Schemes of the •Church was presented
by Rev. N. Shaw, of Egmondville,
which was very encouraging on the
whole, and was adopted. Resolutions of
condolence with the Rev. J. Anderson,
in the loss of his child, and Rev.J.A.Mc-
Donald, of Varna, in the loss of his wife,
were passed. The Rev. J.A. McDonald
of Varna, was relieved of the position
ot moderator of Bayfield and Bethany
session, and Rev. J. S. Henderson, of
Hensall, was appointed in his place,
and asked leave to moderate in a call.
A call was presented by Rev. A. Stew-
art, as moderator of Union Church,
Brucefield, to Rev. Walter Muir, of
Ancaster, stipend to be $1000 and; free
manse; in support of the call, Messrs.
Fotheringham and Moffatt were pres-
ent; the call being unanimous it was
endorsed by the Presbytery and Rev.
A. Stewart appointed to appear before
the Hamilton Presbytery in support of
the call; in case it is agreed to, the or-
dination of Mr Muir will take place on
the 11th of June, at 2 p. m. Rev. A.
Stewart to preside; Rev. N. Shaw to
address the minister and Rev. J. S.
Henderson the people. The report of
the Christian Endeavor was presented
by Rev. J. S. Henderson; there are 15
societies in the hounds of the Presby-
tery, and of these 14 ..reported; the
membership being as follows:—Active,
541; Associate, 413; Communicants,165;
81 being added during the last year.
The Presbytery received the report and
expressed its gratitude to God for the
good work listing done by the Christian
Endeavor; Rev. Mr Henderson was in-
structed to draft a resolution and to
forward it to the different societies.
Rev. Mr McKay tendered his resignat-
ion of the charges of Leeburn and
Union, Goderich Township. Rev. R.
Henderson, of Manchester, was ap-
pointed to cite the congregations to ap-
pear before a committee of Presbytery,
on June 30th. Rev Dr McDonald sub-
mitted the name of Mr Higgins, as a
student for the ministry, which was
approved of. Messrs Hall and Graham
who have passed their examinations,
appeared before the Presbytery for li-
censes; they gave sermons before the
Presbytery and were licenssdto preach.
Nominations for the vacant Professor-
ships of Halifax and Toronto Universi-
ties were considered. It was decided to
make no nomination for the former,
but for the Professorship in Toronto,
filled by the late R. Y. Thompson, Dr
Beattie, of Toronto, was the choice of
the Presbytery. D. M. Gordon, of
Halifax, was nominated as moderator
of the General Assembly. The Pres-
bytery then adjourned to meet in God-
erich on the second Tuesday in July.
Reform Mass Meeting.
A meeting of the Reformers of South
Huron, as constituted for the Provin-
cial Legislature, will be held at Hod -
gens' Ball, Hensall, on Saturday, May
25th, at 2 o'clock p.m., for the purpose
of electing officers and the transaction
of other important business. Addres-
ses will be delivered by M. Y. McLean,
M.P.P.; A. Bishop, ex-M.P.P., and
others. A cordial invitation is extend-
ed to all and it is earnestly desired
that every polling sub -division will be
largely represented, A meeting of
the Executive Committee will be held
on the sante day and at the same place
at 10 o'clock a.m. It is important that
every member should be present.
A Just Judge.
Many stories are afloat, concerning
the judicial fairness of the late Judge
Toms, and the following will show his
absolute impartiality, even when his
personal friends were concerned. He
was on particularly in ti mate terms with
a certain resident of the county, who
was also afellow-Mason of high degree.
This friend had a case before the judge,
involving the sum of $1,200, and ex-
pected that the judge would lean a
trifle towards his side. There was a
trifling omission in the evidence sub-
mitted by this person, and because of
this, the judge decided against the per-
sonal friend; whmafterwards admitted
the justice of the decision.
The Premier and the Attorney -Gen,
eral of Manitoba will leave Winnipeg
for Ottawa on Thursday. There is not
the remotest whisper of compromise in
Government circles and it is said that
such a position would not be entertain-
ed. Archbishop Langevin has also
expressed himself against a comprom-
ise.

Death of Judge Toms.
Isaac Francis Toms, Senior Judge of
the County of Huron, Guderich, died

illness. He was a Canadian, horn at
Charlutteville, Norfolk county, Febru.
ary, 1840. ilia father was Albert
Tome, of Di vo isbire, Eng. His great -
great -grandfather was a Highlander
trove Argyleshire,' who gook part in
the taking of Quebec in 1759. Judge
Toms was educated at privateand
public schools, and then studied aw in
Simcoe and Toronto, and afterwards
came to Goderich in 1860, where, in the
following year, he comwenced the
practice of law. His success soon
brought him into prominence, and, in
1866, being then only 26 years old, he
was appointed Deputy Judge ot Hur-
on and Bruce, but resigned in 1867. In
1872 be was appointed Junior Judge of
Huron, and 179 Surrogate Judge of
the Maritime Court of Ontario. In
March, 1881, he was appointed local
Judge of the High Court of Justice for
Huron, in 1882 Senior Judge of the
County Court. of Huron, and, in 1885,
Revising. Officer for South Huron.
Judge loins was one of the very first
share -holders in the company that put
down the first salt well in Goderrch.
He was a member of the Masonic body,
and has held the highest offices in the
gift of that fraternity, being an officer
of the Grand Lodge, and also belong-
ed to the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows and other societies. Previous
to his elevation to the bench in 1872,
Judge Toms was a zealous member of
the Liberal -Conservative party, and
was president of the South Huron
Liberal -Conservative Association, and
afterwards of Centre Huron Associa-
tion. He was married in August, 1875,
to Georgina Charlotte, only surviving
child of Dr John George Roson-
kin, a distinguished linguist and home-
opathist, who came originally from
Prussia, and practised at different
times in St. Louis, U. S., in London,
Eng., and in Montreal, where he died
in 1850. When at the Bar Judge Toms
was one of the most able 'Chancery
lawyers in Ontario, and had a large
and valuable practice. As a Judge he
was distinguished for his legal know-
ledge and correct judgments. His death
is a public calamity. The funeral took
place at Goderich yesterday, under so-
ciety auspices.

lis.,s, are holding revival services at

meeting will be held in St. Thomas
church, Seaforth, on May 28th and 29th,

Knox churches, Brussels, will unite, so
that there will only be one congregation.
A Staffa correspondent says:—Rev.
Mr. Stout of Clinton, preached a splen-
did sermon in the English church last
Sunday.
Rev. H. D. Steele, Kirkton, and form-
erly of St. Stephen's church, Huron

for another year.
The Ball Family of Jubilee singers

gram will embrace Uncle Tom's cabin,

Family of jubilee singers, ilwas one of
the finest musical treats of the season.
It was good from beginning to end."
At the official meeting of Rat ten bury
St. church, on Friday evening last, the
business of the Conference year was
wound up. The membership shows a
trifling decrease, caused by removals.
The contributions to the several funds
of the church are in some cases no ex-
cess of those of last year, while the
SundaySceool and other work,asshown
by the schedules,is constantly progress-
ing. Mr. Lu. Stevens was added to
the list of local preachers, making six
connected with this church, and the li-
censes of all renewed. Robt. Holmes
was elected as delegate td the District
Meeting.
An executive meeting of the Young
People s Local Union was held at Mr

Presbyterian Societies be held respon-
sible for the various subjects decided

first to be taken by the Pr+esbyterian
Society, the second by the Baptist Y.P.

but left, over for final decision to the
next meeting of the Executive.
The fourth quarterly meeting of the
Official Board of the Ontario street
Methodist !Church was held on Thurs-
day evening, Oth inst., the pastor in
the chair. There was a full attendance
of the members of the board. The
pastor presented the report on mem-
bership, which showed that during the
year eleven had been received by letter
and eighteen on profession of faith.
Two had died during the year; thirteen
removed; ten were dropped. The pre-
sent membership is 334, a net increase
of four. The license of Mr T. Murch
as a local preacher, was renewed, and
the class leaders were all re -appointed.
An important change was proposed by
a resolution from the Londesboro Quar-
terly Board, asking that, Tnrner'd ap-
Colntwent be united with Londesboro
ircuit, so as to enable there to secure
the services of a married and single
man. After a very full discussion of
the subject, it was decided to refer the
matter to the District Meeting and
stationing committee, and if in the in-
terest of the work it is deemed advis-
able to effect this change, the Board
gave its consent. Reference was made
to the very cordial relations existing
between the two appointments. The
financial returns were not complete,
and an adjourned meeting will be held
to receive this part of the repo' t.
TOWN AFFAIRS
To the Editor of the Olinton•New Era.
MR. EDITOR, — In the Mayor's open
letter',in a recent issue of the NEW ERA
he asks for suggestions from the citi-
veus to aid the Council in its efforts to
Improve and beautify the town. In
this matter he has done what should
gain him many friends, because we all
take a personal interest in the possibili-
ties, and a pride in the beautiful en-
vironments of our town, and when any
change is contemplated that might af-
fect our homes or the front of our lots,
we like to be at least asked for our
opinion. If we take passing events as
any indication of a general desire to
improve, I think we have mony signs.
The other evening I noticed a retired
farmer carrying home a lawn mower,
and the next night he was cutting the
grass in front of his lot. Now when
these much abused and maligned citi-
zens are doing this, what may we ex-
pect from those who have so many
hard words for the retired farmer.
As for the necessity for improve-
ments it is great, no doubt, but I may
suggest an improvement on the im-
provements of lost winter. Those hav-
ing charge of the work of cutting down
trees would do well if, instead of cutt-
ing down a live tree and leaving a dead
one beside it, they would take the dead
and leave the living, the improvement
in this case can be easily seen. And
again, the stutnps should not be left as
an eyesore, but should be taken out.—
Clinton may be a trifle slow, as some
people would have us believe, slut we
are past the "stump" age. 'Clinton can
with very little energy and push, be
made by all odds the most beautiful
town in the county.
