McEwan in opposition to John McMillan, in South Huron, the Exeter Times says:— "The Clinton Naw ERA, although 'within a fold, does not know it all. The Re or hers of South Huron, par- ticula�] =,,'the farmers, are tired of �+on „ the has John andwriter Hone`, ,, tna,ny of Basions heard leading men of the Party state that he has held the position long enough, and time will verify this. The Conservatives have nothing to do with urging Mr McEwan to become a candidate. The idea de- veloped within the Reform ranks, and is daily gaining favor. Mr McEwan would make an admirable representa- tive." We still maintain what we said be- fore to the effect that we don't believe it, and we Willtell our friend why. Mr McMillan is already the choice of a properly a''bnstituted Liberal conven- tion, as its candidate for the next gen- eral election. How can the Reform- ers, as a body, bring out another can- didate, even if they were so disposed. All public men have their enemies, or rivals, and _it.is_netat all, unlikely that John McMillan is exempt, but where the Times attempts to convey the idea that the Reformers, and particularly the farmers, are tired of their present representative, it is straining at a gnat. The NEW ERA has not a word to say against Mr McEwan, but it makes no reflection on his abilities in saying thaw no better representative of the farm- ing interests can be found than Mr John McMillan, who will continue to represent South Huron, so long as he is the choice of the convention, in spite of all opposition that may be brought against him. And in this we know whereof we speak. A Conference with Greenway. Sir Charles Topper made the following statement to the House on Monday: Since answering the question asked a few days ago by the member from North Simooe(Mr McCarthy), the following telegrambae been received by Sir Donald Smith: Winnipeg, March 2, 1896, "Your telegram has received most care- ful consideration of myself and colleagues. While fully appreciating all yon say, it is quite clear to es that we can only proceed to Ottawa for the purpose of holding a con- ference upon the official invitation of the Dominion Government. I folly appreoiats your very kind offices in this matter." (Signed) GREEN W AY. In view of the assurance thatthe Govern- ment of Manitoba are willing to have a conference, the Government proposed, as soon as the second reading of the Remedial Bill is carried, to have a conference with Mr Greenway's Government, witb a view to arrive at a settlement of this question on terms that will be sat:afactory to his Government and the minority of Manitoba brit in the meantime to proceed with the question before the House, de die in diem, as previously arranged.—[Mr Greenway may be willing to Dome down and di°ouee he matter with the Government—in fact be has always expressed hie readiness to remedy any grievance that exists—but it is doubtful if he will consent to a restoration of the schools as they were before. The Government has evidentally found itself in a tight corner, and expecte that Mr Green - way's presence will help them out of it. As a matter of fent, Greenway states that the telegram was a private one to Donald A. Smith, and he has no intention of com- romising at all.] .Wien Jimmie Staveley was alive there was none to do him honor. Now everybody want; to. A communication on "The price of Wheat," is in type, but is omitted till nest week. The Conservative press seem to think that if the school question was out of the way, they'd have easy_sailing in the next election contest. he Liber- als would like nothing better than a SttMght fight on the trade question.

Some time ago Rev. A. Henderson, of North Bay, accepted, conditionally, an invitation to Rattenbury St. Meth- odist church for the next conference year.

The re art of the cotaatrtittee on the State of Religion was presented+by Mr et. Henderson, and was one oe the most important reports of the Presbytery; it was lengthy and interesting, giving a full response from the different ses- sions of the church, and was decidedly encouraging; it speaks well for the spiritual life of the church throughout the Presbytery, and recommended that Presbytery devise some means of find- ing a more accurate return regarding the spiritual life in the home. A warm discussion arose on this subject, which was sent to the General Assembly. Mr J. S. Henderson read the report of the Sabbath Schools within the Pres- bytery. of which there are 39, with 3521 scholars; average attendance 2458; teachers and officers, 305; contributed to missions by the schools, $550.

THOSE MEMORY LESSONS To the Editor of the New Era : Mn EnrTOn:—Mr Houston's article in your paper on "Those Memory Lessons," convinces me that he did not follow me ; olosely, and that he has read into -the les- sons what I did not teaoh, nor claim, and has failed to get from them what hundreds as well informed have received. I know as well as Mr Houston what psychologists, ancient and modern teach. 1 know too the practical remits, both in young and old, and so do they. The savages have better memories. To offset what Mr Houston has said, I will give a few }Dames of persons whose intelligence, learning and character make their expressions reepeot- ing "Those Membry Lessons" of great vain. Among them I mention the late Rev. Geo. Douglas, D.D., L.L.D.; Rev. W. Galbraith, M.A., L.D.B., Ph. D.; Rev. Jos. Wild, D.D.; Rev. E. N. Engtieh, Ladies Col., London; Pr. Austin, Ladies Col., St. Thomas; Biebop J. S. Mille, D.D., late Pr. Western College, Ia.; Prof. H. H. Soerley, Pres. Iowa State Normal. and thousands of others; any one may see What they say. :14r Houston is the first among 10,000 who have taken my lessons to write a word of reflection. I will leave your readers to draw their own conolnsione, and panne my way to gladden thoneands more. Yours truly, G. A. Somali. Mr R. G.

The Toronto World. Conservative, made this statement several days in succession: —The World again repeats its prediction that the Remedial Bill has poor chance of getting a second reading and certainly no chance of passing. Better do the manly thing, gentlemen, acknowledge that Sir Mackenzie Bowels made a tremendous mistake, drop the re- medial business, and let the enemy take ib up if he dare, and go to the oountry on the trade question.—Hamilton Spectator(Con).

A crazy man, who was an ex- pert shot, fired at no less than ten persons with his rifts, killing two of them and in - the others, before he himself was brought down by a revolver shot. Some of those injured will die. Fire destroyed the house of G. Oldhouse, a carpenter; who lives about five miles from here. The entire family, consisting of Mr and Mrs Oldhouse and five children, were burned to death. The origin of the fire is yet unknown, but Ms thought to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp. George Swan, the Kincardine merchant tailor, who on Feb. 20 shot himself in the brain, at Toronto, yet failed to kill himself immediately, became unsoonscioue on Sat- urday morning, after having made good progress towards apparent reoovery during the week, and died on Monday.

The three young ohildren of Wm. Be- ausoleil were burned to death near Pen- etanguishene on Saturday. They had been looked in the house by their mother and in some way set fire to the plane. An Indian who was the first to arrive was afraid to break open the door and when other aid Dame it was too late to save the children although their cries could be heard. A number of farmers of the 4th and 6th concessions of Minto have formed them- selves into a ring for the purpose of obtain- ing a supply of fresh beef during the Bum- mer months for themselves. It is their in- tention to butoher one animal each week, of which each member will receive an eq- ual share, but always getting a different out each week. One of their number is en- gaged to do the butchering, 'and nothing but well-fed young animals will be allowed to be killed. A table of the ,horse trade of Great Brit- ain shows that the importation of horses during 1894 numbered 23,106 head, of which 6,426 were from Canada, that colony is supplying more than any other oolony, the United States, Germany and Russia, following in the order named. In 1896 the imports of horses reached 34,157, and the Dominion led again furnishing 11,908. There were but few from Russia, while there was a considerable deorease from Ger- many, and from the United States there were 10,861, as compared with 4,823 the preceeding year. An exceedingly painful mordent took place at the Brantford carriage works on Monday morning. One of the employee named George Miller, residing on Terrace Hill, was working aro and a planer while in motion, when the machine caught the second finger of his hand and was drawing in the whole hand when a fellow -workman ran forward andasped him. Bat for timely aid he would assuredly have been drawn into the maohine and killed. As it is the finger was palled out of the hand and destroyed. Two Canadians reported to the customs officer° at Windsor that they had been re- fused admission into the United States by the customs officers of Detroit. One of the men was on his way from Goderich to Chi- cago to visit his 'two brothers, the other was going from Chatham to Pontiac.

As a result of the late period at which the estimates will be voted this year, there will be no enmmer camps for the rural corps unless they are held in the autumn. In reply to Dr. Landerkin, Sir Charles Tapper said it was not the intention of the Government to have the Dominion voters' lista revised this year. The election will be held on the '93 liet. This will leave the voters lists nearly three years old on elec- tion day. Mr Foster, answering Mr Featherston, said a telegram had been received from Lir. Montague recommending a verterinary in- peotion of horses leaving Canadian ports for export to England on account of disease discovered 'in horses from the United States. The inference was that these hor- ses went through Canadian ports, but the telegram did not make this clear. The lat- ter was un der consideration. There was a vigorous discussion on the Chigneoto Marine Tradesport Railway Co. This bill practically renews the oharter of the company, to ]which was attached a yearly subsidy of $170,000. Sir Charles Tupper ohampconed the cause of the specu- lators with all 4the vigor of language at his oommand. Ten Conservatives went back on Sir Charles Tupper and voted with the Liberals against the ship canal speculation and defeated it. It is ominously signifi- cant that in the first division npon a ques- tion in the consideration of which Sir Charles Tupper has taken any part a de- cision should be reached adverse to his wish. DEA1Ii. — The St. Marys Journal thus refers to the.death of a gentle- man entleman at one time connected with the schools of Huron:—"Mr Robt. Bonis, a well-known and highly respected resi- dent of the Thames concession, Blanc- hard, died on Friday. The deceased, who was a native of Longford Co..
