The thousand and one Grit rumors are no 1)')teriun. Patterson is the loan, and he will Barry West Huron by a big majority. It is little concern to C011- servatives who his opponent may be. CURRENT 9'0I'ICS. The latest variation of Minister Pat- terson's remarks is that he proposed "to keep the Grits out of office by bal- lots or by bullets." This is the Mon- treal Herald's version. In a day or two tche "ballots" will be dropped as unnecessary. It is very peculiar indeed that some of the staunch Patrons of Industry in West Huron have becotne Grit mis- sionaries. At the court of revision at Holniesville last Friday Messrs. Elford and Yeo, staunch Patrons, independ- ent of any political party, were the principal sponsors for the "pairty" who, assisted by the partner of the most strenuous opponent of Patronism, helped to kill the votes of British subjects who were not good Grits. It will he in order for the Patrons to take these, "brethren," good and true as they may be, in hand fur truckling to the party which they are obligated against. A word to the wise should be sutficent when old-time partisans forswear their allegiance Are all members faithful or consistent ? Deposits in the Dominion Govern- ment Savings Banks throughout the country during the month of January amounted to $293,062. There was withdrawn during the month the sum of $582,778, hut of this amount 8341,149 represents a transfer from the Government, Savings Bank of ,Sydney, Cape Breton, to the Post Office Savings Bank, so that the deposits really exceeded the with- drawals by $47,632. The amount now to the credit of depositors in the Government Savings Banks is $17,072,- 028. Most of this is in the Martine Provinces, there being but one of these hanks in Ontario, the one in Toronto, where there was $315,426 on deposit at the end of January. The annual blue -hook containing the reports, returns and statistics of the Departtnent of Inland Revenue for the fiscal year ended 30th June, 1894, has just been issued under the authority of Mr. John Fisher Wood, the Controller of Inland Revenue. The total accrued revenue for the year was $8,441,495, as against $8,520,230 for 1893, $8,076,526 for 1892, and $6,905,0)5 for 1891. The excise revenue from spirits was $4,133,- 038, as against. $4,132,057 for the year preceding from malt liquors, $6,125, as against $6,628; malt, $956,691, as against $1,008,130; cigars. $700.535, as against $692,226; tobacco, $2,448,957, as against $2,448,130; petroleum, $41,269, as against $46,343; manufacturers in bond, $37,691, as against $36,0,50; seizures, $3,283, as against $8,989; methylated spirits, $12,396, as against $33,117. Last week our town cotern. acted the part of a circus clown, or something worse, in referring to a statesmanlike speech of the Minister of Militias before the Young Conservatives of Toronto. The Minister, among other things, said in effect that the young Men of the Dominion would protect this country from foreign invaders --the Feniaos, for instance—in rase of trouble. Straightway (stir cot.em. ridicules such utterances and writes a, column or so denouncing such loyalty or love for one's own birthright. ft is a well known fact that, the New Era has no faith in the resources or stability of this country and has repeatedly declar- ed that there was no use for the Canadian Militia. that the force should he disbanded, that the money so spent was worse than squandered. Some of the hest sten in the :33rd Battalion are old -bine Reformers and as such we positively know they repudiate any such statements. Every one of then) hack up the Minister of Militia in regard to the protection of our country and in the necessity of using bullets if occasion arises. The Cana- dian Militia, oven though our totem. rorty ridicule it as a fraud or worse, is the greatast protection we have for life and property. Our greatest stir - prise is that a chief executive officer of any corporation should so fair forget himself as to slander any body of men that are hound under oath to sacrifice their lives for his safety and that hf his family and the people generally. Mr. M. 0. Cameron is billed to return fr ijn Florida this week, then we may expect to bear his little recita- tion. ---- —+ - — Thele is war in the Grit camp. And the Patrons of Industry have a hand in it. In a short time the electors will know whether the Grits or Patrons are boss of the situation. Will Oainer- on or Forrester buy or sell, yield or fight, or enter the desperate struggle? Tune will decide. The Conservatives of West Huron were never in better fighting trim. They are ready for the fray that the Globe predicts may come to -day, to- tliorrow, in March, April, May or June. But the Globe's advice is somehow at fault. The date has not yet been named. VOICE OF THE PRESS. Not a Pretty Policy. Montreal Gazette. A diagram of the Liberal policy, as interpreted by its party papers, would be touch like a snake fence, all twists and corners. A Wise Comparison. Daueville Breeze. A man trying to du business without advertising always reminds ns of a cluck trying to tell folks what time it is without any hands. You Can Depend Upon This. Toronto Mail and Empire. if the National Policy has not yet made you rich, unrestricted reciprocal free trade for revenue only, as proposed by Mr. Laurier, will certainly fail to du so. Double Back -Action Policy. Ottawa Citizen. La Miuerve accuses Mr. Laurier of having oe policy on the school ques- tion. But this is a mistake. He has several policies. Two of theta are represented by his friends Tarte and Joe. Martin. Not the Answer the Globe Wants. Ottawa Journal. Apropos of the Toronto Globe's ques- tion : "Has the National Policy trade you rich ?" the trades unions of London, England, report 36,000 of their mem- hers idle. No doubt hundreds of thousands of persons outside the unions are also without work in Lon- don. In Glasgow, 40,000 persons are being fed daily at the public expense. All this in free trade Britain. None But Britishers Need Apply. Canadian Manufacturer. A telegram front Ottawa a few days ago states that Mr. Andrew Onder- donk, to whom has been awarded the contract for the construction of the Balsam Lake division of the Trent canal has signed the same in which is a clause which obliges the contractor to employ none but British subjects on the work. The matter of some such arrangement was pressed upon the minister by several members of parlia- ment, and Hon. Mr. Haggart was not slow to adopt a suggestion which so forcibly commended itself to his judg- ment. Sir Richard's Bargain. Mail and Empire. Mr. Janes' revelations in reference to the bargain made by Sir Richard Cart- wright with the Patron candidate in South Oxford is an eye-opener. Here was one of the leaders of the party arranging that if he should be the nom- inee of his awn people, the Patron should avithdraw, but that if Mr. Janes should be chosen the Patron should run, and Sir Richard's faction should help hint. Sir John Macdonald used to say that Sir Richard would ra- ther rule in a place that shall not he named than serve in heaven. This view receives support by the latest dis- covery-. That there was a bin gain Sir Richard neither admits nor denies. But it is noteworthy that Mr. Schell, the Patron candidate, after Sir Rich- ard had won the battle, declared to the convention that he had no desire to op- pose the knight, and that his support, would he transferred to the Liberal financier. An Ungentlemanly Knight. Hamilton Spectator. Sir Richard Cartwright was nomin- ated in Oxford last night. The ma- chine was strong enough to secure for hire 117 votes against 83 jriven to Mr, Janes. Sir Richard doesn t seen to be any too popular among his Grit friends. in his speech to the convention Mr. Janes—according to the Toronto Globe's report—stated that he had rnet Sir Richard hat the door; had offered the knight his hand in the hest of feel- ing, and that Sir Richard had boorishly declined to shake. \Vha; else could Mr. Janes expect ? Did he think that the aristocratic old Tory was going to shake hands with a common (frit—aL man of a breed he heartily despises, and with whom he associates only in the hope that he may use them to punish the Conservatives who refused to give hien the office he demanded. Mr. Janes went on to say that Sir Richard's loyalty to the Grit patty was ".contingent upon get ling his 01111 way, and occupying a prominent, position in the councils of the party." Mr. Janes was right. If Sir ichard had been permitted to have his oWn way and his chosen position in the Tory party he would never have been in the Grit, ranks. ,tile. Janes has sized Sir Rich- ard up most. beautifully. Political Sayings. For variety's sake the Globe should put its daily question this way : "Has free trade tirade you poor ?" It would find plenty of old-timers in this country who reply in the affirmative with much emphasis. Those journals which are accusing John Charlton Of at lark of patriotism err strangely. Mr. Charlton is a staunch patriot. Ile loves his country and he works hard for its welfare. And his country is the United States of America. "Mr. Laurier always speaks elo- quently, always has large audiences, and always creates enthusiasm ; hat the truth of history compels us to say that his suc'ceSSew invariably end there," says the Ottawa Citizen. So Mr. Patterson carries a gun. - Globe, Perhaps he borrowed Laurier's famous musket, The Guelph I3erald says that Mr. Laurier has assured an attitude of dignified independence on the Mani- toba school question and left hitnself quite free either to set Israel Tarte to work to raise a secraatian cry in Quebec, or send Joe. Martin and a torch into the far west. Mr. Laurier's was a great speech, because of what he clev- erly avoided saying. The Guelph Herald when analyzing Mr. Laurier's speech last,Tuesday finds nothing that makes it worthy of being called a great deliverance i`;y the leader of a great party. As yet we miss the chorus of ,joyful approval that one would reasonably expect from the Gift press over Sir Richard's announcement that he in- tends to be finance minister in the next Liberal cabinet. "Would you really like free trade?" a Liberal who had just heard 11r. Lau- rier was asked. "Indeed I would," came the reply ; "nothing; would please ate better than to get into the Buffalo market." "l3ut free trade does not mean the opening of the Buffalo market to you." "What does it mean, then?" "It means that we shall open see marker to the Americans, and that the American market Anil re- main closed against us." "Well, if that's it, I would rather remain as I am." Ballots vs. l:uliets. A great, deal of latitude is always allowed to the political paaragraph- er in order that, his wit may have full play • and it is not often that on either side the fair limit is overstepped. Ac- cidents, of course, will happen. Such was the case when a contemporary waxed humorous at the report that, the Minister of Militia had at the recent Young Conservative gather in g at Toronto, advised his hear ors to meet the Opposition with ballots and with bullets. Such a report may have been printed • but it is not to be seriously supposed that Mr. Patterson, warlike though his metaphors might excusab- ly be owing to his military associations, would'lnaake so absurd a suggestion as that in it political contest in this civilized la.ncd, anyone 811001(1 resort to arras. 'MintMr. Patterson did say avaas that the young men of Canada would al- ways defend their heritage with hallets, and should it be assailed by some foreign adversary, by bullets as well. This is a good and patriotic sentiment, and no true Canadian will decline to endorse it. Holmesvi Ile. Mrs. Gilbert Mair and Mrs. W. Mul- holland have been ill for several days, but at present seem to be somewhat improving. It is with regret we report the death of Miss Etta Murch of this village, which sad event took place on Friday morning? last.

She was a member of the Methodist church, a teacher in the Sunday School, and respected and beloved by all who knew her. This is the third young lady that has passed away here within the last, twelve months. Peace to the noble dead. The oyster supper under the auspices of the C. 0.
