In his election speech he ahowed� bow the Tu eri4ov- ernment had rejected the report of its own architect in the Charleboise case, and h�:d waived its right to $296,000, - He said that he could have got. $60,000 to ratify that one action of the late go- vernment, but be intended to prevent the people of Canada from being rob- bed of one single cent. He also descri- bed the -governments confession of judgment in the Connolly case, and in the Murray & Cleveland case. Getting down to smaller transactions the Min- ister of Public Works said that he re- cently ascertained that the sum of $5CJ had been charged to dredging in the city of Ottawa, and when he went to look for the work he found that a small shed had been moved from one spot to another, and that was how the $500 had been earned. They also made a small sewer, for which they charged $1C°;0. With such things going on, is it any wonder that taxes have been high, and that the public debt has been increased? Mr Tarte is not the sort of a man to sit in his office and disclaim responsibility on the ground of ignnr- ance, as Mr Haggart did in the St. Louis case. He has determined to stop the leaks in his department, and thus assist the Minister of Finance to light- en the burden of taxation. i 50.41,. .t'f` ` I IgN13 D. $19,00 Buys THE : 1IERSON BICYCLE, tasty a few of them left. >A IJP ii% SON'S SHOUSE aCLINTON C gdI/ertigictttcntfi. eCo aL4--IiW ee icy & Co Notioe-W L Oul matte Bosery-Hodgene Bros Cape lost -Mrs Sperling Just now -Hodgen Bros Mortgage sale -Jas Scott -;13'.

Well, there are others beside yourself who are sorry also, Sir Charles. The Toronto Star emphatically as- serts that so long as Sir Charles Tup- -'per holds the position of Conservative leader, there is no possibility of re -or- ganizing the party or of securing ad- ditions$o its ranks. pP The NMw ERA agrees with the To- ronto Star in its suggestion that the law should be abolished requiring a member of parliament to be re-elected on his appointment to a cabinet posi- tion. It accomplishes no practical purpose. Hon. W. D. Balfour, in a speech de- livered after his election, expressed the opinion that very soon some satisfac- tory method of dealing with Govern- ment House would be introduced. The sooner the better. And we don't know but what every -province in the Do- minion would be just as well off if the office of Lieutenant -Governor was ab- olished. Archbishop Langevin has written a political letter wherein he expresses the hope that now the Liberals will grant the Roman Catholics of Manitoba all . they have been asking for, so far as Remedial legislation is concerned. The Archbishop need not expect that he can influence the Liberals as he did the Conservatives, and ie likely to be dis- appointed in his expressed hope. When be was a member of parlia- ment Tom Farrow used- to argue that the hens laid larger eggs after the N.P. was introduced than they did before, - With a great deaf inore truth it might be said that all the fine rains' we have had, and which are doing so much for the country, have fallen since the gox- - ernment was changed. We would not say, however, that the government was raesponsible. North Oxford Reformers will meet in convention on Aug. 18, to nominate a successor to Sir Oliver Mowat, to re- present them in the Ontario Legisla- •tare. We do not know who are likely • candidates, but it is certain that Mr.A. rattullo, the editor of the Woodstock Sentinel -Review, has strong claims on the Liberal party, and would make an excellent representative. We have been asked the question "In .what way will the Liberals reform the •:senate. In accordance with their plat- form on this point?" Well we don't iiuow. We fail to see how it can be reformed. It is an irresponsible body, may be as autocratic as it likes, can bar any legislation, and defy public opinion A plebiscite on its abolition should be taken, which we believe would be large- ly oupported, and then the government • Could ask the Imperial authorities to empower them to abolish it. This, in Our opinion, is the best way to reform the Senate. Election Protests. Eleven protests were filed on Saar.- , all against Conservatives. These were Coiutitucncy Members -Elaut Mai erth N A.

In the Globe of Saturday are three viewe of the river at Bayfleld, and they are entitled "A glimpse at Bay- field -one of natilte's beauty spots on Lake Huron." The largest of the views is from a photo taken by Rev E. Olivant, of Benmiller; the others were taken by Mr H. 0. Brewer, of the Mol - son's Bank, Clinton, both gentlemen, by the way, known as clever amateur photographers. That there is some very pretty scenery in and around Bayfield is well known to people in this vicinity, but until quite recently they have failed to appreciate it, and people are only beginning to realize that they have within easy access one of the moat charming spots wherein to spend aholiday, Until a couple of years ago the tourist traffic to Bay- field was practically nothing; at that time the able and versatile correspon- dent of the NEW ERA, Mr J. G. Stan - bury, started to "boom" it as a sum- mer resort, and he lent his energies to it in a way that at once attracted at- tention, and visitors began to pour in, the result being that to -day it has a greater host of visitors than it can conveniently accommodate. We un- derstand that between campers and visitors there are now over three hun- dred guests there; cottages find ready tenants; the hotels in some cases have had to --_turn people away, and the probabilities are that next season the influx will be much greater. The question of increased hotel ac- commodation is being discussed, and an effort is being made, we hear, to interest men of capital in the erection of a building suitable especially for summer tourists. There is no doubt that such a building could be made to pay good returns, but it would require judicious management. 01 course it could only be run during the summer season. If some better and more regular ar- rangements could be made for the transport of passengers from all the railway stations, it would also improve matters. At present the hotels do the best they can, but arrangements should be made for a regular service from, say one of the stations. Clinton being central, let it be advertised that con veyances would meet trains on a cer- tain day, and the pleasure -seeking public could govern themselves accord- ingly, Bayfield could very easily increase the number of its visitors ten -fold, and as this line of business is usually pro- fitable, every effort should be made to encourage a trade that is fast assum- ing good proportions.

St Melena NOTES, -Mrs Murray is visiting with friends in and near Guelph. Several of the young ladies of town spent a pleasant afternoon on Friday last, at Mrs D. Todd's quilting bee. Mre Mc- Whinney, of Crewe, visited her son last week. Mr and Mre McDonald, of Beltnore, attended the funeral of Mre Murray last week. MreWalter Webb has been ill with Inflammation, but we are pleased to learn is on the mend again. Miss Campbell is. visiting friends at Wroxeter. Mr Johnston, of Walton, occupied the pulpit of Calvin church last Sabbath, and will take charge in Mr Whaley's absence, Mrs Ferrier, of Belgrave, vieited friends in this locality this week. Mies Marthv. Murray purposes vieiting friends in Wingham this week. Messrs Erratt, Brown and Wilson, of Auburn, were in town on Sunday. A few from around here intend taking in the races at Wingham this week. An Indian camp lighted on Mr James Durnin's farm this week; a number from the village visited them. Messrs Robert and Harry McGee, of East Wawanosh, visited friends in the village last week. The Liberals of Winnipeg ask that Mr Marten be made Minister of the Interior. Hon. Mr Tarte, Minister of the Pablio Works, was elected by soolamation in St. John's and Iberville. The report thea Sir Charles Topper is to be appointed Governor-General of Canada is denied by the London Standard. Mr, G. G King, trember for Queen and Sunbnry, has retired in favor of Hon. Mr Blair, Minister of Railways and Canals. It is now definitely announced that Pre- mier Laurier will pay a visit to England this fall. He will have a reoeption worthy of him. The Executive Committee of the North Grey Liberal Association has offered the nomination for the ridiirtg to Hon, William Paterson. Hon. John Coetigan is the father of the present House of Commons, he being the only member who has sat continuously einoe confederation. To a friend who be met in Toronto Sir Charles Tupper confided the statement that he wished he had never let go the High Commiesionership. Discussing the Conservative leadership, Mr Hugh John Meodonald of Winnipeg came out in favor of Sir Charles Tupper, Baying be himself had no idea of taking the position. Hon. Mr Tarte intends before the regular winter session of Parliament to visit and personally harped every Public work in the Dominion, so that he will know what is being done and be able to give Parliament all neoeesary explanations. A Winnipeg despatch says: -While the, general -impression appears to be that an understanding exists between the Laurier mud Greenway Governments for a settle- nient of the, school question on some mod- ified plan, leading French Catholics may that it will be only a temporary trnee In order to give Premier Laurier time to set his honse properlyin order.

STREET AND ROAD MAS' *8 A letter was read from Mr ('farrow, in reply to an inquiry by the council, auto the made of pioceduee to be pur- sued ill purchasing the right of 'way for the road on Isaac fit. Mr Giarrow stated that it was not necessary to sub- mit the matter to a vote of the people, and quoted the statutes which defines that it shall be done by by-law, ratified by the council. Councillor Searle moved, sec. by Coun. McKenzie, that no action be taken at present with re- ference to the purchase of the road, Deputy -Reeve Cooper moved in amend- ment, sec, by Coun. Gilroy, that ar- rangements be made to complete the purchase as soon as _poekiole; after some discussion, the amendment was carried, the mover and seconder alone voting nay. The road into Mr Hibbs' farm, 16th con. Goderich township, (where the town secures its gravel) being in bad condition, application was made for a day's use of the machine, under charge of the Inspector, which was granted, conditional on any injury or damage done the machine being made good. Deputy -Reeve Cooper moved, sec. by Coun. McKenzie, that an electric light be placed at the railroad crossing on Victoria street. The movers of the motion made strong pleas In its behalf, showing its necessity, which was ad- mitted by other members of the coun- cil, but its opponents claimed that it could not be done this year, and the motion was lost, the mover and sec- onder alone supporting it. Reeve Kennedy moved, sec. by Coun, Walker, that 250 ft. of 8 -inch tile be put in on the west side of King St., running from Joseph St. This motion met with considerable opposi- tion, but carried on a division, 5 to 8. A disputed account of Mr Hamer Andrews, of $4, in connection with damages sustained last winter when his farm was converted into a road- way, was settled for $3. It was decided to put in about 85 feet of tile on the south west corner of the park, to properly carry off the water. The late news from Manitoba is that the wheat yield will be greater than was at first anticipated -in fact, a fair crop. Freddy Ferrar, an 11 year old London boy, died on Monday the result of being stung by a tarantula two weeks ago. Mr W. M. Dreman has secured the sign- atures of 61 courts of the Independent For- esters to a petition forseparate jurisdiction in Ontario east of Toronto. The entire portion of Southern Manitoba was swept by a severe lightning storm at midnight Sunday nignt, and it is feared much damage has been done to growing grain. A despatch from Neath, Glemorganshire Wales, states that an explosion of firedamp occurred in the Bryanooaoh colliery there. Forty miners are imprisoned, but whether they are alive or not is not known. For trying to sell s bicycle which was net lawfnlly bis, Herbert Wilson s young man from Goderich, was on Monday sentenced at Torontoto three months in the Central.

Mr McColl went west a quart- er of a century ago, Canada is a land of great producing capacity. 11 it were poa- aible for any of them to be a candidate for the Presidency, the Canadian colony over the border could put up a man that would hold his own with any of the candidates. Says the Toronto World (Conservative): "The oitizen of Toronto is to -day in a more hopeful mood than he bas been at any time daring the past seven or eight years. We do not say the boom days have returned We do not say positively that they are returning. What we do say is that there exists among the people a general feeling that we are on the eve of decidedly better times. Canada's opprirtnnity seems to have about arrived." Queen Viotoria now rules 367,000,000 people, a greater number than has ever be- fore aoknowledged the sovereignty of either King, queen or emperor. Apropos of the ill- founded report that her Majesty talked of retiring from the throne hematite of il1- heelth, it is a carious fact that no English sovereign ever voluntarily abdicated. Six rulers- were deposed,' not counting. Lady Jane Grey, who was crownedand reigned nine days. It, is n0 doubt the ambition of her Majesty to Witness the sixtieth year of her reign, on which,ahe enters next year.

The amount of taxes raised last year was $12268.84; this year the amount will be $11869.80; a reduction of 8399. When it is re- membered that in these estimates pro- vision is made for the road machine and new road, for the Sinking Fund of the consolidated debt, together with all the otner necessary work, it is a very fair showing. The rate to be levied is 20 mills on the $, being half -a - mill less than last year. The caretaker of the cemetery was granted a week's holiday, he to make provision for any work that may re- quire to be done. THE APPLE CROP To the Editor of the Nese Era SIR, - After corresponding with all points of the principal fruit sections, we find that the crop in America is enor- mous. England is light, Ireland has a good crop, Nova Scotia good and fine quality; New York State crop estimat- ed at 7,000,000 barrels for export; Mich- igan, Miesouri and Kansas good; Onta- rio the largest ever gl own. On account of the immense crop I would advise farmers to furnish their own barrels and pack carefully their own fruit, as buyers will not be able to handle the crop in the usual way. JAMES STEEP & Co., Clinton. THE APPLE OtemooK.-The follow- ing extract from a letter received by by A. McD. Allan, Goderich, from a leading fruit firm in the Old Land, will be of interest to all who will have ap- ples to market: "It is now more or less possible to judge of the crop of apples in our country, and it is certain the same will be practically nil hi most parts of the United Kingdom, and an exceepingly small one in a few favor- ed places. " . " The prospect for the sale of Canadian fruit is therefore Food for the coming season, and espec- ially our market. BRITISH APPLE MARKET. -The fol- lowing report from J. B. Thomas, the fruit importer of London, Eng., will be of interest to Ontario apple -growers. After referring to the crops of Eng- land and the continent, the circular gives the following summing up: -The net result is to indicate that of ,early kinds our crop will be scarce and soon over. Of later sorts the yield will be much below the average,and altogether insufficient to affect our requirements from your side, and our London mar- kets should be prepared to receive fruit from America and Canada at a much earlier date than for many years past.
