On Thursday of last week Mr Mowat entered on the 24th Year of his Prem- iership. May Providence make it at least a quarter of a century. We like to be sanguine and hope- ful, and no one would welcome a change of government in this country more than we°would, but it does strike tis as a little premature for Liberal papers to boast of things the Liberals will do after the next election, as if the result of that election was already decided in our favor. The opening of the Liberal Conser- vative club room, London, last Friday night, was a successful event, several of the Cabinet Ministers being present. Among those in attendance from this neighborhood were Messrs. J. Beck, Colborne; J. Beacom, Goderich town- ship; D. Weismiller, Hensall; and Dr. Freeborn, Clinton. A convention of the Patrons of East Huron, will be held in the town hall, Brussels, on Friday, the 15th of Nov- ember, at 1 o'clock p. m., for the pur- pose of considering the advisability of placing a candidate in the fleld to con- test East Huron for the Local eLegiits- lature. As East Huron is not yet vin cant in the Local Legislature, and the only grounds for supposing so based upon rumor, our Patron friends can- not be charged with dilatoriness. If a vacancy occurs the Liberal candidate will probably be W. H. Kerr, . of the Brussels Post. The Mail of Saturday has an article from Buffalo, telling that consterna- tion prevails among the gardeners and milkmen in that vicinity because Canadians are underselling them. This surely cannot be true, because Canadian farmers have been repeated- ly told that there was no market on the other side for their products, that the Americans grew the same stuff as they did, and there *as no American market anyhow. The facts seem to be the reverse of this. but then a few facts will never stand in the way of a government paper making a bold as- sertion that they know at the time is untrue. Some of the Conservative papers have been asserting Sir John was al- ways a protectionist, and the Globe of Saturday had a long article, quoting extracts from his memoirs, and other proof to show that he never really be- lieved 'in protection. Even were it possible to prove it beyond all doubt it would make little difference, for some of the very papers which are sup- porting protection to -day, do not really believe in it. Privately they admit that it was only an expedient. The manager of the Mail -Empire has not an atom of faith in protection, and ,has so expressed himself dozens of times; the World—itself a Conserva- tive paper, has shown up the insinceri- ty of the Mail, but all this will not pre- vent these organs misrepresenting actual affairs, They know the people etre willing to be humbugged—and humbug them accordingly. "!'he vacancy in tete, 1, legietralrship Qf _"The vacancy the cause of p }toh Strife and wire-pulkin B �na !the active: WOrirers of the, Reform, parpy mere. There is, Ile scarcity of candidates for the positron, is our canpty Pearly every active Reformer is an applicant, " or the, ardentsupporterof some appli- cant, for the registrarship." Oxle would suppose from this that the applicants were very numerous. The position le the best in the county; and is the first one vacant for years, and it would only be natural that there be a large number'of applicants. But fifteen would cover every applicant, which is certainly not a large number, when it is remembered that the whole county is concerned, Another sen tence of the letter is as follows :-- "The Reform convention held at Dungannon recently, I am told, passed a resolution condemning the practice of making senators, j udges, registrars, etc., of members of Parliament by any Government, and I for one, who dur- ing my 40 years' residence in Canada have not cast a Tory vote as yet, heartily applaud them for thus giving the Government of Sir Oliver a remon- strance." That resolution was certainly passed, and the members of the conventidn endorse it and are in sympathy with it. It has been one of the principles of the Liberal party for a long time, but it has not been lived up to as it should, and Mr Mowat may make up his mind that Liberals are going to see that it is observed. We believe that at the next session of the Local House a private bill will be introduced debar- ing members of the House from ac- cepting any office at the hands of the government unless they have been actually out of public life for a term of years. A Couple of Questions. To the Editor of the New Era : HAMILTON, MONT., Oct. 1895. DEAR S1R :— I have made a bet here with a party for $10 on two things, and it is left for you to decide in your paper : lst— are ,the schools free in Ontario and Manitoba or not, and who is the Gov- ernor of Canada at the present time. —J. B. The public schools in Ontairo and Manitoba are free. Canada has no "Governor" in the sense in which a State bas a Governor, but it has a Governor-General, who is appointed by the English Bafflement, the present occupant of this position being Lord Aberdeen.—Ed. NEw ERA. West Huron. This ie what the Expositor says about the Liberal Convention:— "There was a grand rally of Liberals at tho Reform convention held at Dungannon on Friday last, and if the enthusiasm dis- played is any index of the feeling of the people of West Huron, the result of the next election need not be considered at all doubtful. Mr M. C. Cameron, Huron's veteran politician, was the unanimous choice as a candidate, and in a rattling speech of an hour and a half, he accepted the nomination. This settles it and en- sures a Liberal victory, let the election come when it will, and no matter who the opponent may be. If there is to be a ses- sion of Parliament in January, there will no doubt be a by-election, as there are now six vacant constituencies, and the Govern- ment will scarcely dare call a session and disfranchise all these constithenoiee. West Huron has been the longest vacant, and if an eleotion is held in any it can scarcely be passed over. It is a pity, however, that these vacancies have been oreated just on the eve of a dissolution of Parliament, as two elections so close together occasion an immense deal of unnecessary turmoil, ex- pense, and loss to the people. However, the people mast bow to the will of the gods who rule at Parliament hill, Ottawa. But, there is a very general feeling now that there will not be another session of Parlia- ment, as promised, and this feeling is strengthened by the announcement that a deputation of ministers is to start out on a campaigning tour through Ontario in a few da's. - But, session or no session, West Huron is sate for Mr Cameron. let the elec- tion come this year or next, if the Reform- ers of the riding and those who are opposed to the National Policy and have lost faith in it, exert themselves as they should and march in a solid and unbroken body to the polls. We believe they will do it. The electors of West Huron have had a lesson they should not forget. Mr Cameron is one of themselves; he ie true and tried, and he is a representative who honors the con- stituency by being a candidate, as =rah as the constituency will honor him by elect- ing him. The idea that President Joseph Beck will be the candidate for the Liberal Conservatives in West Huron is fast gaining ground. We won't say that friend Joe will he a winner, but the West Riding Tories might go farther and fare worse.—Signal. Church Chimes. Huron Presbytery will meet here on Tuesday next. Rev. Mr Fair is holding special ser- vices at Alma. His Lordship the Bishop of Huron will deliver his famous lecture on Pal- estine and Egypt in the town hall, Clinton, on Friday Evening, Nov. 22nd The Electric Light which has been introduced into St. Paul's Church was used for the first time last Sundy; it gives the church a very fine appear- ance. On Sunday evening at the Baptist Church Rev E. J. Harris, B. A. will begin tie first of a series of sermons on the 15th of Luke. The following are the topics,—The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, The Prodidal Son, The Eld- er Brother. On Sunday morning the subject is,—A Home Study. The quarterly services of Ratttnbury Street Church, on Sunday last, were well attended, the lovefeast eing par- ticipated in by a goodly nu ber, and many remaining for the sa amental services.

Holmes, chairman of the Goderich district, is arranging for a convention of the EpworthLeagee societies, to be held in Clinton,, in the month of January. At the meeting of the quarterly board of North St. Methodist church, Goderich,' held Tuesday evening, the board, by a unanimous vote, melted, their pastor, Rev. Jos, Edge, to con- tinue his connection with the church for the third year. The Canadian Order of Chosen Friends (not the Forrestere as wrongly stated last week) will attend St. Paul's Church next Sunday at 3 o'clock where a special sermon will be preached to them by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Parke. Rev. E. W. Hughes ° pastor of St. Anne's Church, Adelaide, formerly of Wingham, left on Wednesday last for England to transact business concern- ing real estate to which he has fallen heir. Mr Hughes is to be congratulat- ed that fortune has smiled upon, for in the face of adversity he has done noble work in his his calling. Rev. J. T. LeGear, who was a fc,r- mer, minister here, having charge of Ontario St. Church for a time, has moved from Rochelle, Illinois, to Hum - bolt Park church, Chicago. He writes that it is a flourishing church, pleas- antly situated, with a kind parsonage and:kind people. His many old friends here wish himself and wife abundant prosperity. A Nationality Social under the aus- pices of the Willis Church Mission Band, will be held in the lecture room, of this church on the evening of Thurs- day, Nov 14; an excellent program, consisting of songs, readings and re- citations, has been prepared for the occasion. Refreshments to suit sli tastes will be served. In regard to the subject discussed last Sunday, at St. Joseph's church, only one question was presented by the question box, viz., "Why do you bow to the altar?" which had any ref- erence to the subject under considera- tion. Among those who asked ques- tions was Mr Houston, of the Collegi- ate. Those present, were repeatedly requested to ask questions bearing on the subject. The quarterly meeting services in connection with the Ontario St. Meth- odist Church on Sunday last were very successful. Old meml:ers said that never in the history of the church had so large a number partaken of the Sac- rament of the Lord's Supper. The. quarterly meeting of the official board was held on Tuesday evening. The following were selected as stewards for the year—Messrs John Gibbings, A. Armstrong, Wm. Tiplady, sr., H. Plumsteel, J. Taylor, T. Holloway and Geo. Shipley. Messrs Brickenden, Holloway and Armstrong were appoint= ed representatives on the Sunday School board. The Fergus News -Record, referring to the acceptance of the call by Rev Robt. M. Craig,(hrother-in-law of Mr D. McTavish, Stanley,)to New Mexico, says:—"Because the change of climate is just what Mr Craig's physical condi- tion calls for; and even were it other- wise, there are attractions in the new field, and possibilities forgood there, which a great many neinisters of the gospel would be inclined totake advan- tage of, while everyone here will most sincerely regret Mr Craig's removal from Fergus, all will approve of his de- cision, as unfortunately, under the whole circumstances, there is no room for difference of opinion regarding the line of action which he ought to take. During the few years that Mr Crain has been a resident of Fergus he has by his uniformly kind, genial and sym- pathetic manner greatly endeared him- self to the whole people, and therefore his removal together, with )that of his worthy wife, will not be a loss to the congregration of Melville church only, but a loss in which the entire commun- ity will share. Mr Craig is an able preacher, an excellent platform speak- er, and a man of wonderful zeal and energy in all good work. Additional Local News. Tower COUNCIL. --Regular meeting was held on Monday. night. A com- munication was read from the trustees of the Rattenbury street Methodist church, asking that the electric light at the corner of Rattenbury and Or- ange streets be replaced where it origi- nally was, but council declined to make the change. Mr R. Mennen was ap- pointed poundkeeper in place of F. Folland. Messrs Jas. Stevens, James Cornish, David and W, Tiplady waited upo3 the council to ask that some ac- tion be taken towards securing the erection of a wire fence qn the west side of Albert street north, to prevent snow blockade, and the street commit- tee was instructed to act in the matter at once, in conjunction with these gen- tlemen, and report at next meeting of council, or earlier, if found necessary. It was decided to construct a gravel walk on the west side of Victoria street, from T. Managhan's to the London road bridge. Mr Searle, chairman of Cemetery Committee, reported that the cemetery had been greatly Im- proved; that the owners of 112 plots had asked the caretaker to look after them; lots to the value of $132 have been sold, and 33 graves dug this year; the committee recommended the erec- tion of a house and vault in the ceme- tery.• The Charity Committee report- ed having expended the following amounts :—Mr Thompson, groceries, $3.10; Mrs R. Stewart, groceries, $1.48; Mrs Devine, care of Mr Thompson, $3. The Finance Committee recommended payment of a number of accounts and quarters salaries. In accordance with the assessment act the following amounts were remitted ;—James Fair, 15.80; W. W. Farran, $2.60; J. Copp, $7,40; J. Gibbings, $6.401 H. R.Walker, 1.88; J. Steeps $2; J.

NOT MANY OP' ANY KIND. — The Goderich Star wants to know if we have seen any of the counterfeit $2 and $4 bills which are in circulation. Really, we have seen so few bills of any denomination lately that we can hardly tell whether they are counter- feit or not. If any of our readers have any which• they think are counterfeit, we will decide the matter if they will mail the bills to us. OUT IN THE WEST.—Mr Jos. Bell, of Hamilton, Montana, formerly of Huron, writing to the NEw ERA says: "We had our first fall fair, held in Hamilton, on the lst, 2nd and 3rd of October. Stock of all kinds was good. I think we can beat Ontario for fruit; apples weighed 2 and 2,} lbs. each; po- tatoes weighed 7 lbs. each; heads of cabbage 54 lbs. each, and a $10 prize was offered for the finest baby." CONCERT -Mr T. Jackson, jr., who has charge of the musical part of the program for the House of Refuge con- cert, is forming a choral class, end will give t wo numbers at this concert which will be something the Clinton people have not heard for many years. Over 30 voices have already joined; the first practice will be held this Friday even- ing, at 7, in the room formerly used by the 25 club, over the store of T. Jack- son, sr. VERY ILL.—Conductor Hunn, of Stratford,who .net with such a trifling accident at the station here, has been seriously ill for several days, owing to erysipelashaving set in, but he is mak- ing a good fight, and there is no reason to apprehend a fatal result.. Mr Hunn is having the very best of attention and with the good stock of vitality which he posesses there is little doubt thata check will shortly be given to the dis- ease. RoAnwolK.—At the present time the main roads in Hullett are in the best condition they ever were in, and in conversation with Mr Lasham, one of the councillors, he attributed it to the excellent work done by the road ma- chine. Clinton roads are in pretty good condition, but some of them could be better, and the probabilities are that a road grader may he purchas- ed early next spring, and the whole of them put into good shape. DEBATE.—'Varsity, the publication issued by the students of Toronto Uni- versity, in its last number, contains a report of A. debate "Imperial Federa- tion vs Annenation," and says:—Mr J. G. Stanbury, as leader of the affirma- tive, warned the Society of the subtle oratory of his opponents, and proceed- ed to show unmistakably by his own speech that he was himself a master of persuasive eloquence. Graphically he described the benefit of Imperial Fed- eration, and pleadingly, exhorted the Society never to countenance a union with "the bully and prodigal brother to the south of us." Decision was giv- en in favor of Imperial Fedeartion. In the same number we see that Miss H. Rumball has been chosen as represent- ative to the Women's Residence Corn. of the Literary Society. Goon TEMPLARS. — The following are the officers of Clinton Star Lodge, No. 378, I. O. of G. T., installed by Mr Geo. Rogers, lodge deputy:—P. C. T., Mr D. Stevenson; C. T., Mr J. W. Moore; V. T., Miss C. Barge; Sec., Mr D. Smith; As. Sec., Miss Bella Wilson; Fin. Sec., Mr Alex. Cooper; Treas„ Mrs Seward; Marshall, Mr Jas. Wat- ters; Guard, Miss Farquhar; Sentinel, Mr Jas. Foster; Chap., -Mrs Stevenson; Organist, Miss Tebbutt. The past term has been very successful, many new members having joined, and all apparently enjoying themselves, and the result is that much good has' been done. For the coming term it has been decided to introduce something new for the "good of the or der," that is to form the lodge" into a "House of Commons." Messrs. J. W. Moore and D. Stevenson are elected leaders, with Mr Chant as speaker. Any person desiring to help along the cause of temperance, or any one desiring to reform and` become teetotalers will be gladly welcomed. The lodge meets every Friday night in the Oddfellow's hall. Members of other lodges are al- ways welcome.

Holmes has been found guilty of murder in the first degree at Philadelphia; Shortie, who shot several employees of the Valley- field mills, has been found guilty and sen- tenced to be hung on the 3rd of Jan.; and Durant has been found guilty of murdering Mise Lamont in a San Franoideo church. John M. Sinclair, teller for the London Loan Co., son of Dr Sinclair, of Toronto, left the office suddenly, and the only notioe of his departure which the manager, Mr M. J. Kent, receieed was a draft for 01400 on his father. Dr Sinolair Dame up and made good the draft. The young man is 23 yearn of age, and had been in the Traders' Bank. His whereabouts are unknown. An Ottawa Correspondent states that Messrs Haggart, Wallace, Wood and Montague threatened to resign their portfolios, if the government brought in remedial legislation, and Mr Bowell threatened to call in Mr Laurier to form a ministry if they did. The same report also asserts that Hon. J. C. Patterson was appointed Lieut. - Governor without the knowledge or consent of Mr Bowell, it being done while ie was away in the wese by Act- ing premier Ouimet, on the sugges- tion of Mr Haggart. Eugene Field, the American poet, died suddenly of heart failure Monday morning, at Buena Park, Ill. He was 45 years of age. A true bill was found at Winnipeg against Farr, the C. P.

Tupper, Minister of Jus- tice, prayyingsthat the death sentence in the Shortis -case be commuted to imprisonment for life. Mrs Fred Collins, landlady of the hotel at Putnam, and her sister, Mrs Boulding, were)terribly burned on Fri- day night, by the explosion of a lamp, following the fall of the chandelier in the bar -room. The Winnipeg Tribune has published a most interesting descriptive sketch of Pre- mier Greenway's farm which is situated vbont a mile from Crystal city. Mr Greenway has the distinction 'of being the only farmer Premier in the Dominion, and this description cf hia -farm, specially ono. oeanful and well managed, gains additional interest on that account. The farm com- prises over 800 acres and is pronennoed by Tho Tribune the equal of any farm in the Province owned by a private citizen and operated for farm purposes. When at home the Premier has the reputationof being the boniest man on the farm. £ 2.e Hensall. Quarterly services in connection with Hensall Methodist Church were held on Sunday, October 27.
