'The Eifeter Times says
s
The Reformers of South Huron are
'ling forth strong efforts to induce
"erge McEwen, reeve of Hay town -
p, to contest the South Riding of
uron at the next {general election, in
position to John MMcM i11ai , the pre-
sent incumbent. The Reformers ap-
,ppaxently have become tired of Honest
John,who seems to think he has a life-
-lease of the office, and are determined
to displace him. Mr McEwen is a
AT,s°�k•Liberal, as is also Mr McMillan, and as
,Iiefight will be of no consequence to
politically, we leave it with them.

any such scheme.. The moment the
%•r:i-L3sformers of South Huron show that
T,,..
hey�,are becoming tired of honest

in, but they are not likely to so long
as Mr McMillan proves to be as good a
representative as he is. Mr McMillan
spas his faults --as most of us have—
but he also has his virtues. South
Huron is an agricultural constituency,
„(leaving out the town of Seaforth) and
one would need to travel a long way
to find a more sterling representative
of the agriculturists than Mr McMillan,
who• neer loges an opportunity of
standing up for the farmers' rights,
and who is to -day known throughout
' the' Dominion as one of the ablest
, fanners in it.
•'1f any Reformer is urging Mr Mc-
Ewen to come out, it will be found
that some Conservative is behind it all,
and one And all may as well under-
stand this fact, for fact it is, that so
long as Mr McMillan is the choice of a
Liberal convention, it will be impos-
iiib)e for any man, of any political par-
ty, to defeat him in South Huron.

Mr Whitney is giving the Ontario

We are in receipt of a lawyer's letter
concerning "trie publication'of an article
in our issue of Feb. 14, headed "Mr
'CV'eidluiller, past and present" asking

tion. At this stage of the gante,there
is nothing to be gamed by the pretence
that all is harmony in the' party at
Ottawa."
The itformat(on sent by the Specta-
tor's correspondent, was as follows:—
'tDeveloprnente the past twenty-four
hours point strongly to Sir Charles
Tupper returning, to London td resume
the position of high commissioner in-
stead of becoming premier in the new
cabinet. The element that bas oppos-
ed Sir Charles' elevation to the prem-
iership, both inside and outside the
cabinet, is growing daily in strength,
and it is openly stated that extreme
measures will be resorted to if his suc-
cessorsb•ip is insisted on, There is no
use ignoring the fact that this element
is strong and growing and that it has
identified itself with the anti -remedial
movement and ie resolving to carry
the party with it in a bold and aggres-
sive policy. Suppression of the news
by party journals will not change the
fact or stopthe movement.
Materialfora strong anti -remedial
cabinet is being got together by de-
grees and the antis are feeling corre-
sponciingly confident.
Later.—The political situation here
is apt to take sudden changes, and this
morning furnished a somewhat start-
ling illustration. The rumor got out
in good quarters that Sir Mackenzie
Bowel] might leave the country within
the next two weeks. It seems that the
premier has been growing to all ap-
pearances more and more indifferent
to the political situation, and less and
less interested in politics generally,
and has repeatedly let fall remarks in-
dicating that his thoughts are fixed on
getting out. Leading members of the
partyiwere consequently to some ex-
tent prepared to hear that they must
not=be surprised one of those'fine days
to hear that Sir Mackenzie had sud-
denly decidedto go to England, leaving
the premiership to Sir Charles Tupper.
Members of the party must look out
for a fight to prevent Sir Charles tak-
ing Sir Mackenzie's place, his oppon-
ents declaring they will leave,no stone
unturned to make; his accession im-
possible.
And these are the men who pretend
they are looking after the interests of
the country. It is the interests of the
party and of themselves that they at e
a great deal more concerned about.
Hope They're not too Sanguine:
The clever Ottawa correspondent of The
Evening Telegram writes:—It is to be re-
membered that a week ago Foster announc-
ed that the Liberals must oonsent to a di-
vision on the budget on Shrove Tuesday.—
That day has come and gone. The end of
the debate is not in sight, which means
that the Grits are,determined to ehow their
power. They thwarted the Government in
its desire for a three -days adjournment.—
They will consent to a division when they
are ready and not before. In six sessions
I (never have seen the men who follow
Laurier so well satisfied, so certain that
their day of triumph is not distant. From
1892, when Liberal after Liberal had been
displaced at the bye -elections, to these san-
guine days is a far ory. The men of the
Left think the battle already won. They
have an air of certitude, a oalm conviction
that chows their confidence. They will go
the polls fall ready to cross the gangway
when the• house next hereafter meets.—
Tupper, they say, is weaker and less effect-
ive than Foster. Bowell they regard as a
dying planet in the Cabinet's firmament.
Their faith in the future is the faith in a
'man in his 25th year. Suooess r •a to ,bo
theirs; they will nos' he deniedjor they ti,
frill of reliance in themselves and of conic•
tion that fortune cannot pass them by.
Parliamentary Doings
NOTES FROM THE LOCAL HOUSE
Mr Mowat has introduced a bill re-
vising and consolidating the School
Act. Mr Stratton has introduced his
bill to reduce councillors in towns and
villages. Mr Gibson (Soren) gives
notice of a bill to amend the consoli-
dated assessment act of 1892.
NOTES FROM THE DOMINION HOUSE
Mr Charlton introduced his bill to
"render'more effective the law regard-
ing seduction and abduction."
In reply to Mr M. C. Cameron, the
Minister of Railways said that W. J.
Poupose, Conservative candidate for
Pontiac, has contracts with the Gov-
ernment.
The Tay Canal promises to entail
upon the country still further expen-
dituree. Mr. 'Taggart gave Mr Cam-
eron (Huron) a long liet of claimants
against the Government for damages
for flooding of their land from the
canal.. None of the claims have yet
been paid.
Mr Flint resumed his speech upon
the prohibition resolution. Upon the
question of legislative jurisdiction he
quoted the opinions of their Lordships
of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council to demonstrate that the power
to prohibit the liquor traffic lay with
the Dominion Parliament. Mr Flint
pointed to Maine as a proof of the fact
that whatever effect a prohibitory
liquor law might have, it did not affect
then means of the people of acquiring
and storing up wealth.
Sir Donald Smith,, who has just re-
ttrtned from Winnipeg, holds out'the
prospect of a settlement of the school
question on Provincial linea. It is
quite possible that the motion for the
eeeond reading of the bill' may be de-
ferred when it is called.
An Ottawa correspondent says:—On
Tuesday, March 8 Ira accordance with
a motion made by Mr. Fceter, the second
reading of the bill relating to Manitoba
schools will take place, and he con-
tinued till a vote ie 'taken. Mondays
will be reserved for the business of
private members, but all other days
will go to the discussion of the school
bill, How long the debate will last
depends upon developments, brit that
the debate will be a memorable one no
ane can, doubt. Yt its understood'

W LMS glilrRCki,
wbeet," T e ; gist sled snbstt►nes of th
cattalo is, that while wheat is selling a
80.0$ Dents in Clinton, GQderiob, at, Ma,r
Wingiiattt, Tavtateek, Stratford, t3eafgt l..
Exeter and l;ond+in, it is only selling q
from 78 to 7. cants in Oswego, and that
the duty upon foreign wheat, l5 cents, wer
removed, the pries would drop, Rff Amer
can wheat would be imported; and t
statement is made that the farmers thu
are getting 5 Dents more per bushel tba
they would get were there no duty.Tb
is absurd. The imposition of a duty ea
never inoreess the prices of loos; produe
neither cart it reduce them. Variatione i
prices will oehur in small lobs] market
owing to accidental causes, as for instant
a soaroity in °rope, • or a euperabundan
harvest in a certain vicinity, but the price
generally, for the country, are coutroll
by the foreign market, and thie rule gov
erns the United States and South Amerio
as well as Canada.
The quotations of prices published by
the News -Record are, as it will be noticed,
taken from local points, and not from the
great grain centres. On the 19th of Feb-
ruary last, fall wheat was quoted on the
Barrie market at 75 to 80 cents; spring
wheat 68 to 78. In the Oswego Daily
Times, of same date, wheat is quoted at
80 to 81, so that in Oswego on the 19th of
February the prices were 80 to 81 as against
, 80 to 83 in Qlinton,Goderioh,St.Marys, ale.
' In the Mail -Empire, of Feb. 19th, live bogs
were quoted in Toronto at $3.75 to $4. In
Buffalo at $4.45 to $4.65. Lambs, Toron-
to: $3.50 lo $4.25; Buffalo, $4.45 to 84.65.
Sheep, Toronto, $2.60 to $2.76; Buffalo,
$8.26 to $3.85. Steers, Toronto, $3.40;
Buffalo, 54.26 to $4.35.
On the 29th of January last the Mail.
.,
Empire said Wheat ie now 25 per cent
higher ie Toronto than it is in Chicago,
the great 'wheat market of the United
States. That is a point of weighty import
for the Canadian farmer. The difference,
16 cents bushel, is just one Dent more
than the dgty on wheat. That is the far-
mer gets. the benefit of the protection that
was put on in hie interest. Remove the
protection and you annihilate the differ-
ence between prices on the two sides of the
border."
So said the great Mail -Empire. Now
what is the answer? If that difference
arose because of thednty (or N.P) why did
not Clinton, Goderioh, St. Marys, eta. real-
ize the benefit as well as Toronto? Out of
9 places oited by the News -Record, he
shows only a margin between 80 and 76
cents --4 cents. If the duty causes the in-
crease, why is the increase not co -exten-
sive with the duty? The Mail -Empire
happen -d on a day that spited the N. P.
theory, and thought the time opportune
for inducing the belief that the difference
was caused by the duty. The News -Re-
cord had to drop that, as the quotations
would not suit. But what about Barrie?
There the rate was 75 to 80 cents, the same
as Oswego. Why did not Barrie get the
N. P. margin? The fact is that on the
very day the Mail -Empire made the quota-
tion, the prises of wheat were Galt, 70;
London, 75 to 77; Winnipeg, 45 to 46; Mon-
treal, 72 to 74; New York, 77 to 78; Detroit,
72 to 74; Buffalo, 75 to 77. Toronto does
not buy grain enough to make a market
price. Local markets are no teat of prices.
The Liverpool price mast govern as long as
Canada produces more than she consumes.
It is the unconsunied surplus which' fixes
the rate to the country. Let the political
economist writer of the News-Resor�1 null
for a month the market gnotationel from
New York, Oswego, Buffalo, Chicago and
Detroit and compare them with those from
Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and
Halifax, and ( feel assured that he will see
how completely they answer the argu-
ments he has been making. Yours etc.,

The annual bushes meeting cit? Wil-

board and auditors were duly present-
ed, discussed and adopted.
A vote of thanks was most heartily
tendered to the members of the cboir,
for their 'gratuitous services so will -
rendered during,' the year and
also to Messrs J. W. Irwin, A. Ewing
and'J. Walkinshaw, for tbeir services
in eennection with renovation of the
church.
A committee, consisting of Mes-
dames R. Irwin, J. W. Irwin, T. Fair,
A. Stewart and W. Coats, sr., were
appointed to arrange for an annual
social in connection with the business
meetings in future.
Messrs W. J. Brydone, D. McOorvie
and Frank Grant were appointed trus-
tees for the ensuing three years, Mr
Alex. McKenzie declining re-election
,after 24 years' service.
Wm. Coats, Treas., presented the
financial statement, as follows :
The General Elections.
TheGlobeeays:—Liberals shouldkeep
the fact steadily in mind that at the
farthest the general elections can be
postponed for only two or three months
_While there is a possibility of a dissolut-
ion at almost any time. The necessity
of preparation le, therefore, very
apparent, and it is to be hoped that
in every constituency in the Dominion
final steps will be taken to at once
close up the ranks and complete the
most perfect organization thatthought
and assiduous labor can supply. Get
ready is the word and every Liberal
should deem it his particular duty to do
his personal share to advance the Libe-
ral cause and bring to an end the reign
of incapacity and corruption that has
too long prevailed at Ottawa.
The Government should make it
compulsory, in all counties subject to a
heavy snowfall, for every farmer on a
main road to have either a wire fence,
or a portable fence that could be re-
moved, along the front of the farm.
If this were done there would not be a
road blocked with snow wotth speak-
ing of.
Church Chimes.
Next Sunday services will be held in
St. Joseph's church, Clinton.
On Monday evening next the young
people of the Baptist church will hold
an open meeting, to which all are wel-
come.
Rev Wm. Stout will hold services on
Sunday next, March tat, in the follow-
ing order : Holmesville 11 a.m,; Mid-
dleton, B p.m.; Summerhill, 7 p.m.
"Using one's talents" is the subject
for Sunday evening next; Sunday
morning the pastor of the Baptist
church will preach the second sermon
of the series on Joseph's lite, "Joseph
sold at the pit's mouth."
The temperance meeting of the On-
toria street Epworth League, on Mon-
day night, was one of the best e'er
held by the League. Mr C. M.13ezztr's
address "The army of drunkards,"
was well handled; Rev Mr Schram, of
Fergus, also gave an address. The de-
votional topic for next night will be
the third clause of the pledge, and will
he taken by Mr James Foster, after
which the roll call and consecration
service will be conducted by the Presi-
dent.
A very interesting program is being
prepared for a union meeting of all the
auxiliaries of Rattenbury street Meth-
odist ehtirch, The meeting is to be
held in the ituditorinrn' of the church,

STANDS WITH WALLACE,--At the
annual meeting of the ('ountyLodge of
the Loyal Orange Association of South
Huron, held in the village of Exeter
on Tuesday, Feb. 4th, the following
resolution was adopted:—Moved by
the Rev. Bro, Wm. Stout, County
Chaplain, and seconded by Bro. James
Colwell. P.D.C., "That this county
lodge desires to place on record its en-
tire approval and high appreciation of
the course pursed and the stand taken
by the Hon. N. Clarke Wallace in re-
linquishing a lucrative poaition in the
Government of this Dominion rather
than be a party to coercing the Pro-
vince of Manitoba to restore Roman
Catholic Separate Schools; and we ex-
press the hope that every true Orange-
man may be led to emulate the ex-
cellent example laid down for our im-
itation by the Supreme Grand Master
of our beloved Order.."
THE SEASON OF LENT.—Wednesday
Feb. 19, marked the beginning of Lent,
. when for over six weeks the faithful
among Anglicans and Roman Catholics
are expected to abstain from worldly
amusements; to devote themselves to
self-examination and to withdraw in
great part from society. With many
religionists outside the two great
Episcopalian bodies of Anglicans and
Roman Catholics, the observance of
of Lent is not regarded as a duty, the
non -conforming bodies, as they are
termed in England, not recognizing
any church seasons; few of them, in
fact, having any religious services,
even upon such festivals as Good Fri-
day. and Christmas day. Bnt the in-
fluence of custom is strong in this case
as in many others, and scores of people
refrain from attending the thea re or
dancing duringLent, not fro otives
of principle, but because it is 'the pro-
per thing."
MORE THAN EXCITING. Dr. Hoar, Of
Walkerville, had an exciting adven-
ture while returning from a visit to a
patient on Pelee Ieland, about a mile
from the mainland. The ice was in a
dangerous condition, but the call was
pressing, and the doctor felt in duty
bound to go, even at the risk of his
life. He engaged a man to mount a
boat on runners and accompany him.
Between sailing and dragging the
boat, they reached the island safely,
but on the return journey, while they
were pushing the boat ahead of them,
the ice gave way, and they went into
the ice-cold water. Their heavy cloth-
ing dragged them down, and it was
only after a hard struggle that they
managed to crawl up on the ice. They
had a hard time on reaching the shore,
for they were almost completely ex-
hausted, and their clothing was frozen
stiff. Dr. Hoar is a brother of Mrs J.
P. Ti all, Clinton.]
Clinton Collegiate Institute
STILL ONW,SRD.
It always pleases us to note the pro-
gress of the Clinton Collegiate Insti-
tute, wbich we regard as one of our
most important and useful institu-
tions. The attendance at present is
the largest in the history of the school.
The considerable increase during the
present term has made necessary
changes and addition in the accommo-
dation. The junior leaving chemistry
class has grown so enormously that it
has been divided into two. Three
years ago the old soup -plate method
was abolished, and the board had one
table fitted up in modern style. Next
year the other table was similarly fit-
ted up, and it was thought this accom-
modation would serve for some years.
But the class became too unwieldy,
and has been divided, and an extension
for senior leaving students added to
one of the tables. The arrangements
are now well nigh as good as possible
without a system of waterworks, and
inferior only in the respect that the
water has to be pumped from the cis-
tern to the tank in the room. The
seating capacity of the science room
has also been increased. To meet this
increase and the bleed of more desks in
the other rooms, fourteen new double
desks have been purchased; unfortun-
ately, owing to breakage, there has
been a little delay in getting these into
position. They are now in place, how-
ever, and add much to the comfort of
the students. Some of the worst
abused of the old desks have been pro-
vided with new tops, so that the ap-
pearance of the upper rooms Is greatly
improved. It. will be a enema for the
students, if they do not strive to pre-
serve the improved appearance. This
is the third addition to the desks dur-
ing the last four yeare, which shows a
steady increase in the attendance.
The increase is quite visible in almost
all the classes. The number taking
chemistry in 1892 was fourteen; it is
now nearly sixty. The senior leaving
class was then three, how thirteen;
the junior leaving and matriculation
class . has increased from fourteen to
over fifty. It need hardly be added
that the financial condition of the
school has improved with the increased
revenue from fees, as there has been
no addition to the teaching staff, or to
the total expense for salaries. The
improvements lately made will be cov-
ered by the increase of fees from stu-
dents during the half year. We con-
gratulate students, teachers and town
on the prosperity of the Institute, and
wish for it a continuance of that pros-
perity.

A. M. TAYLOR DIES IN COLORADO.—
The old Huron friends of Archy Mac -
alpine Taylor will regret to learn of his
death, which occurred on Sunday at
Cripple Creek, Col. He had a law
practise in Chicago, but recently went
to Colorado for his health. The first
intimation of his serious illness was
contained in a telegram to his law
partner, Charles E. Collins, Chicago,
Sunday night. Monday Mr Collins re-
ceived a second telegram announcing
Mr Taylor's death from pneumonia.
He telegraphed to Mrs Taylor, who is
visiting her parents at Ingersoll. Mr
Taylor was born near Brussels and was
about 43 years of age. He taught in
Clinton and elsewhere, and eventually
went to Toronto, where be entered
law. In 1891 be moved to West Su-
perior, and from there to Chicago,
where he has been for about three
years. He was a bright and clever
young man, and was working up an
extensive practise in the Windy City.
He had no family.
Mise Elizabeth Flagler, daughter of a
United state's army General-, was sentenc-
ed at Washington to three hours in the
District jail and a fine of $500 for shoot-
ing a -colored boy dead who was robbing
her father's garden. •
