Infect it should abolish every extrava- ?atice that iieunnecessary. aurier may make it as hot as he pleases for his opponents, buthe should have a little sympathy for his suppor- ters. Please ask the Weather Clerk to reverse the machine a few cogs. Monday's papers contained accounts of ten drowning accidents, and sad to relate, nearly every one could have been avoided had care been exercised. e People are altogether too careless in and on water. The Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Star, (Conservative) says that in no case has a civil service em- ployee been dismissed from any of the departments, except upon the advice of the head of that department, who reports to the minister in charge. On the recent marriage of Princess Maud, the Pope sent to Queen Victoria a very kind letter, which has affected the Queen greatly. Such an exhibition of interest from the head of the Catho- lic Church is as unusual as it is credi- table. It seems to us like taking unneces- sary chances, for Hon. W. Patterson to run in North Grey, a hitherto Con- servative constituency, and which only gave 32 of a Liberal majority in the last election. He should run in a constitu- ency where there is ..no possibility of his defeat. The Conservative papers say there are ten thousand applications for offi- ces since the election took place. • The number is likely an exaggeration, but we fail to see any particular offence in applying for a position, and Liberals no doubt feel they have j ust as much right to the fat of the land as their oppon- ents. The other day a poor hodcarrier, in London, who been in enforced idleness all winter, Was suspended from work because he got behind in his dues in the Labor Union. Disheartened and discouraged that be was not allowed to earn bread for his family, he cut his throat. The least that Union can do is to provide for the bereaved family, for ' they are primarily responsible for his death. Prof. Robertson thinks some scheme should be developed for settling the northwest, that would group the set- tlers into small settlements. instead of allowing them to be eo far apart, as at present. The reason why they are so far apart is because there are so many • "reserves” of one kind and another that close settlement was simply im- possible. The grossest kind of mis- management has characterized the grandherilage Canada has in the north- west. ingo 'mist xtotRrns,, The Mall and Jaapire has published a table purperting to rept eecnt Ole .of- Qcial vote at the last election, whereby it makes out that the Coneervativee have the largest Comber of voters in the Dominion, e,lthoagh'the Liberals have the largest number of representa- tives, and the Ming assumes that "the popular vote" is in favor of the ¶ on- servatives. The table has already ap- peared in several papers. It may be said at oncethat the figures are not official. No oMcial put a hand to them; indeed one example will show that they are not only not official but are wrong. The Montreal Gazette gives the Liberal vote in British Ool- umbia as 8821. The Mail and Empire puts the Liberal vote in that Province at 8,521, whereas the vote really was 8,921. In Ontario the Liberals are credited with no vote at all in a dozen counties. For instance, in Glengarry, where Mr J. Lockie Wilson accepted the Liberal platform, where Mr spoke for him, and where the Liberals voted for him, the published statement credits the Liberals with not a single vote. The fallacy of the whole thins could be further exposed were it worth while; sufficient to show the errors pointed out above, and to repeat that the official figures will be presented to Parliament in a few weeks. They have not yet been compiled. But tak- ing the figures as they stand, they real- ly show that the opponents of the Tup- per government, whether Liberals, or Petrone, or McCarthyites, were all 'tariff Reformers, so that, according to the Mail -Empire's own figures, tariff reform was suppor ted by 477,705 votes, while protection received 418,006 votes. Thus the majority in favor of tariff re- form and againstrotection, was the very decided one of 64,699. The New Parliament. Next week the first session of the Eighth Parliament of Canada will as- semble at Ottawa, and the people will see what it looks like to have the Lib- erals sitting to the right of the Speak- er. Of course a great deal of interest centres around the new government, and it goes without saying that their every action will be closely criticised. Several of the ministers have stated publicly that it is the intention of the government to carry into effect its measures for economy, tarifa reform and clean legislation, and we have no doubt but that they will endeavor to do this. The government will have to stand upon its merits, pure and simple, and the record of Mr Laurier, and in- deed, all the men he has associated with him is such, that we have no fear as to the result. The day of bad gov- ernment has passed in Canada, for the people will not stand it, even if the politicians were disposed to indulge in it. The Wingham Advance wants to know if the arrangement of Huron constituencies for the Local House suite the NRw ERA, and also what change we would make in them for .the Dominion. Well, as the Local constittiieacies 'Were divided- .as nearly as possible according to population and boundriea, we haven't much fault to find with tnem. According to the last census they represent tbe follow- ing population:—East Huron, 26,248; South Huron, 26,478; West Huron, 25,234; that seems to be as nearly fair as possible. If the Advance will look up the Hurons as they stand for th Dominion House, it will, if it is disp td to be could be made than prevails. W. .1. Clotan, a Montreal lawyer, defeated in the last election in Pres- cott, says that in 1800 Count Mercier sent him to Manitoba to enquire into tbe feeling of the Roman Catholic laymen concerning the recently pass- ed school law. Mercier, Mr Cloven says, bad been appealed to by the Archbishop of St, Boniface to make reprisals an the. Protestant 'Separate School of Quebec. The Count's agent found ,that the laymen of hie church had little abjection to the new state of affairs.

Tile baeiness meet- ing, on Monday afternoon, aces presided over by Rev. J. Edge, of Goderioh. The financial respoosibllities of the Board are being better euetained than for years. The days of missionary grants being a thing of the past, the board having again assaue- ed self-support. The Methodist is the only church in town without aesistanoe from a missionary society.

Cortosan.—The concert in $he town hall on Monday, Ang. 3rd, under the auspices of the Methodist ohuroh, was a mnsioal treat. Seldom indeed has a Bayfield audience listened to a program as Carefully selected or as well rendered. The singing of the ladies' quartette and the instruments al dnett, violin Mies Acheson, and olarionet Mr Smith, are worthy of special mention. Mica Fisher also euetained her high reput- ation as an eloontionieb. The enthusetio applause and frequent encore bore testi- mony of the hearty appreciation of the audience. It is regretable that the audi- ence was so email. We are sure this same talent will have a muoh larger audience if they name this way again. Lovers of mu- sic feel indebted to the managers of the Methodist church for the splendid enter- tainment given.

EIGHTY CARLOADS OF CORN.—Dur ing the first three days of last week three schooners reached Goderich from Chicago laden with corn destined for the New England States. The vessels had a total of 65,540 bushels. The av- erage grain car holds 800 bushels, so it will be seen there were over 80 car - day. Brigadier Margarets, of London, loads, or enough to make up three good- theprovincial officerfor Western On- sized freight trains, in this consignment. tario, will conduct the services, mishit- The corn was unloaded into the Grand Trunk's elevator at Goderich, which has been overhauled and put in running order after a period of idleness. As the grain is transmitted under bond, Wil- liam McIntyre, deputy collector of U. S. customs, of Stratford, was sent to God- erich to supervise the transfer from ves- sel to elevator and elevator to train. John Pullen, district ireight agent, Stratford, states that he hopes this is only the first of many ouch shipments to come through the Goderich elevator. Heretofore consignments of this kind —which have not been as frequent ae the company desired,—were sent via Collingwood and Midland. Elevators at these points usually have all they can do to handle the grain frcm Mani- toba and the Northwest, hence the de- cision to make use of the Goderich ele- vator. It is expected considerable of the cereal crops of the Western States will reach the East via Goderich and the Grand Trunk. There is now six- teen feet of water in the Goderich har- bor and the G. T.

P The official meeting of the Ontario St. church was held on Thursday, 6th inst. The reporte were satisfactory, and the minister's salary paid in full to date. The church and Sunday School is in a very flourishing condition. Mr David Tiplady was elected to represent the church at the next district meeting, to be held in Rattenbury St. church, in September. The sacramental services of Rotten - bury St. church were held on Sunday last, and were all meetings of interest and profit, Rev.H. Newcombe assisting the pastor, Mr Millyard, in the admin- istration of the sacrament. At tbe of- ficial board meeting on Tuesday, the apportionment for salary was made the same as heretofore, $1000. Mr Wilbur Manning was appointed delegate to the district meeting A. resolution from the Quarterly Board of Ontario St. Church, asking for union special services, was received and agreed to. On Wednesday evening Willie church was filled with an appreciative audience to listen to the wrongs of Armenia as depicted by a native of that country, Mr Baghdasarian. The lecturer appeared in native costume which was exceedingly becoming. and his English Wits very good. Of course, thoae who have interested themselves in the struggle between the Turk and this suffering people were aware of many of the facts presented, but there was so much that had never appeared in print and so many incidents of ante. rest in connection with the present etrugggle given. that those present were delightewith the address. The ministers of town were on the plat- form, Rev. A. Stewart in the chair. Clinton has a native of the city of Lebanon living within its borders, Peter Yesbee who, it is said, differe in many of his views from the lecturer. Many in Huron who knew Rev. W. H. Poole, D.D., of Detroit, will regret to hear that he died Friday morning in that city after a painful illness, which he bore with patient resigna- tion. Dr. Poole was a native of Can- ada and .entered the Methodist min- istry when young. He was a resident of Goderich many years ago. Dr. Poole, who was over 70 years of age, retired from active Ministerial duty some years ago and devoted his later life to literature, which had always had strong attractions for him, and - for which he was especially qualified. He published several religious works of enduring merit, tie was,fl. man of profound research, deep. learning and saintly character. Just revloue to his death the Episcopal Bishop of De- troit asked him What text he (Dr. P,nte* erould: choose, if he could ag aln rll7ic� � itextaloti.

Mr D. E. Munro. the popular postmaster. Auburn was a caller at the Naw ERA office last Friday.

It is generally admitted that any move- nieiit odfonlated to elevate and improve the morale of mankind, is worthy of Cordial snpport and eympathy. The Christian E n. deavor movement not only commends itself to the public in this teepees, bat its progreea in all lands has been such as to Command attention and admiration. The Huron County Christian Endeavor Union, which is one of the native ohuroh organizations of the county, and aiming to do an the good it oan, has arranged for ire annual conven- tion, whish takes place in Knox ohuroh, Goderich, on August 29.28, and has endea- vored to make its program therefor as in- tensely interesting and profitable to all Christian workers as poeeible.

"Well, pry, I've just been reading 000 of benib'e tales and it remind- ed me of Sir MoEenzie Howell," "How's that, lad?" "Tori sea be tally about one of the kings who hada little grinning akeletop, or death's head, sitting in his drown, that titled to mock him and make fun of all his pomp and greatness. I thought Howell was a good deal like that with Sir Charles Tupper. I rather think he is laughing in his -sleeve at the old war horse of Cumberland. He said the other day that the Tory party was "disorganized and demoralized when Sir Charles carne out, that Sir Charles had joined the dlsorganizere and demoralizers, and was now suffering the consequence. He oan scoff about se well as the little grinner." "Yee, I see Rowell is going to sit round for a year or two till he is wanted, as he rays. Perhape he is making a bid for the leadership again.

There wont be any side tracking of it this time." "Well, the subject is not very savoury, my boy. I'm afraid he wont do." "Did not Sir Charles make a mistake, pa, in resigning so soon? Here the Mail - Empire makes out that he had a majority of the popular vote. Of course the Globe says that it leaves out seventeen counties, giving them no Grit votes at Ml; but they could have been only a Grit here and there; that would not affect the result very muoh." "I don't know, lad, I have learned to take the Mail -Empire figures with a saline oryetal of very considerable dimensions, you know by it Tapper was going to have a majoriby of twenty in Quebec and would sweep the other provinces. I am afraid Laurier had hold of the handle of the broom." "That reminds me, pa, that Tupper made a ely little joke jest after the . elec- tions about protests. When the Grits threatened to protest a good many seats he quietly said the Tories were accustomed to get a pull by the protest business. Why did not the Tories enter more protests this time? I see they have not one in Ontario, while the Grits have eleven; and altogeth- er they have only one to three." "Bother the thing, it rather riles myself, I must confess. The fellows that have been getting rich - by the N. P. refused to plank down this time. Here's one in Hamilton, pretty high tip too, who need to give 3500; this time he subscribed $100.
