An effort is being made to induce Mr Gladstone to re-enter political life. Such a thing seems marvellous at his age. We are glad for the sake of Cana- dian farmers, that wheat is advancing in price, even if a Grit government is n power at Ottawa. We are getting anxious about that promised reform of the Senate. Our own reform would be the Dutchman's cure for a mad dog "cut him head off behind ze ears." The partner of the late Hon. W. D. Balfour, J. A. Auld, was elected to re- present his constituency—South Essex —on Tuesday, by a substantial ma- jority. Everything is coming the Lib- eral way now. Considerable talk is being indulged n about introducing "the spoils sys- tem" in connection with the public service, but, as a matter of fact, not a dozen changes have yet been made. Mr Wrigley, Grand Secretary of the Patrons, who has been travelling in the States, is quite sure Bryan will be elected President. Those Patrons al- ways were sure of cel tain things—un- til election day. The Globe thinks the term "tax -eat- er," as applied to the members of the public service, hardly a happy one, be- cause their office, if necessary, is just as proper as any other form of employ- ment. This is quite true, and the term was a thoughtless slip. The forma- tion of seemingly unnecessary public offices is responsible for the prevalent opinion that an office holder is an in- cubus on society. The man who is in receipt of money from theState, for the performance of needed work, is fill- ing a niche in the framework of so- ciety just as truly as he who is an ac- tual producer. Some of the Conservative papers as- sume that the Liberals will make no changes in the tariff, that they will "uphold the N. P.," in all its inequalit- ies. Not by a jug full. It is true the finances of the country are such that radical changes cannot be expected, but the Liberals have not been fight- ing the N. P. just for fun. They have some principle, even though our Con- servative Mende may think it is very little. In due time they will deal with the tariff question, as they have dealt with the school question, having re- gard for the best interests Of -Canada and the individual rights of her people. It was stated the other day that the Government Intended to replace all the Deputy -Ministers by some political friends of their own, in order that it should not be undermined, as was Mr Mackenzie, by the enemies of hie own department. The MaII at once stated that the Governor-General would not sanction any such action as this, but the London Advertiser an- nounces, "on the beet authority," that the Governor-General, knowing Mr Lausier has the confidence of the coun- try, Yvould not for a moment think of interfering with any dispoeitlon of the servants of the people which a Minis- try so holding office may deem pru- dent. Aside just from this particular part of the controversy, our own opin- ion is that the Government should have a free hand in the matter. The Deputy -Ministers are responsible heads of departments; they are conflnential advisers, and it ie•to the utmost degree important that they should be those in whom the Ministers can place the greatest oondd th e. We do not say '.that the Deptitiea are not men of this si;aa°,, but it is only natural that their' • ttrytnpathies would be with the TOMO, iproYernment, and not with the papa oils, • The School Question Delegates representing the Manito- ba and Dominion Governments, brought their conference on the school question to an end on Monday, when it was semi -officially announced that the vexed echool question had been amic- ably and satisfactorily adjusted. The details of settlement are to be laid be- fore Mr Greenway, and then to be made public simultaneously in the Do- minion. It is semi -officially stated that the settlement is along the lines proposed to the commissioners who visitedMani- toba, which simply provided that the schools proper should close at 3.30 p.m. and the remaining half hour can be used for religious instruction, if schol- ars wish to remain. To this is added one other concession, viz;—that in school sections possessing thirty or more Roman Catholic pupils, Catholic teachers shall be given the preference in engagements. There is to be no change whatever so far as the notional character of the schools are concerned. If a settlement along these lines is accepted—and it is very likely to be— it shows that Mr Laurier's "sunny ways" are far better than the coercive ways of Sir Charles Tupper. When Mr Laurier stated that he could dispose of the question in six months, his opponents laughed at him. Had they not spent several years with the question without reaching a solu- tion, and to think of reaching a solu- tion in six months was simply pre- post erous—in their view. Neverthe less, it seems to have been accomplish- ed, and if it is forever removed from the arena of politics no one will be bet- ter pleased than the politicians them- selves. No Room for Hope. Since the defeat of the Conservative party in the general election, the cr- gans have been turning their atten- tion to the Ontario government, and flattering themselves that at the next Provincial election they will defeat Mr Hardy, and assuwe the reins of power. Perhaps they may. As they have had very little to brighten them up during the last few months, it is cruel to dash even this faint hope from them. But before jumping to a conclusion they they should at least have some good ground on which to base their ass-rrnp- tion. If Mr Hardy's administration is not in the interest of the public; if it is extravagant or corrupt; if it is undo• serving of confidence, then there may be some justification for the position assumed by these papers. Time enough, however, for thein to crow, when this crisis has been reached. Mr Hardy made his first appeal to the people as Premier, in the South Essex contest, on Tuesday, made va- cant by the death of Hon. Mr Balfour. The Liberal candidate had the prestige of being the late member's partner, and would receive a certain amount of sympathy also, but these do not ac- count for the phenomenal majority of over one thousand, given Mr Auld. It was the largest majority ever given in the tiding, the largest given Mr Bal- four being 739.This may not indicate any change of opinion, but it does in- dicate unlimited confidence in both Mr Auld and the Ontario Government. The London Free Press says that Mr Mowat will he appointed Lieutenant - Governor of Ontario, when Mr Kirk- patrick's term expires. Well, if any one knows any valid reason why he shouldn't he, let him say so, or forever after hold his peace. Mr Tarte has started on his western tour in the government car Cumber- land, and his doing so is unfavorably commented upon. He will have to live right up to bis ante -election principles, or give satisfactory reafons for any de- parture therefrom. A complimentary banquet was ten- dered Jas. S. Brierly. of St. Thomas, last night, on his departure to assume the management of the Montreal Her- ald. The NEw ERA regrets exceeding- ly its inability to accept an invitation to be present, for if there is one editor mdr-e than another we would like to honor, it is Jim Brierly. The Premier's Work. The following desoription of Dna day in the busy life of the Premier applies to Fri- day:—Mr Laurier was at his office at. nine o'olock. He diepoeed of one or two callers and had a talk with the Manitoba dele- gates, in addition to attending to a batch of telegrams and letters before eleven o'clock. At that hour he went to the Conn- ell chamber where he remained until six. When this was over he received a Quebeo delegation and walked toward the station with one of the party so as to permit him getting hie busineaa done before leav- ing at 6.45 p. m. As 8 o'clock the Premier was in Knox Church presiding at the lec- ture of Ian Maclaren, and from there he proceeded to a meeting of the Treasury Board, reaching hie home on O'Connor street shortly before midnight, and in the midst of all hie work ithd worry with pub- lic affairs Mr Laurier hada pleasant smile and a oonrteous reply to alt who Dome in contact with hint. • Nkl00 `1V' 'tEt o-, '""'t"rospeets For English Trade. The handsome new First Methodiet Church at London was opened for worship Suuday. The safe in the Kincardine postothoe was blown open and robbed of a email amount of money. Mr John A. Auld, the Liberal candidate carried South Essex by over a thoaeand majority. Mr. Malcolm MoColl was killed at Blen- heim by falling off a load of wood and be• ing run over, Mr George Walters was found dead in bed near Tamwerth. It is supposed he poisoned himself. Robert Trumball was arrested at Ham- ilton on a onarge of shooting at Mise Mil- dred Bissell with intent, A. bucket of tar was poured over a statue of the Queen at Bombay and a pair of old sandals tied about its neck. Fire destroyed the Yeomans building at Belleville. After the blaze the body of Ald. Yeoman° was found in the cellar. Mrs George Truckle was killed by a Guelph street oar while rescuing her small grandson from ander the wheels. The boy was not seriously hart. The little daughter of Mr, John Mo - Martin of Leduc settlement, near Edmon- ton, was fatally burned while her parents were absent fighting prairie fires. Mrs Richard Wilson of Ottawa attacked her husband with a beer bottle, intik:tine much serious wounds that it is feared they may prove fatal. He had accused her of theft. A. novel eight was witnessed in London the Lees, namely London, Ont. the other day, when six hotel dining room girls acted as pall- bearers at the funeral of one of their late eased/ties. Rev. R. R. Mackay, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Ottawa, bee accepted the call extended to him by the congrega- tion of the First 'Baptlet ohnroh, Wood - stook, to suooeed Rev. Dr. Dadeon as pas- tor. Mr T. H. Wiggins, C.E. while snrveyin on a farm in the rear of Finch Townshi near Cornwall last week, found in a Iedg of rook a splendid fossil of a large fish evidently a shark, over nine feet long. Th vertebra was almost perfect. A singular event took place at Neidpath Farm, the property of Thoe. Ballantyne & Son, a few dayeago. A pure Berkshire sow gave birth to nine pigs,fivepure Berkshires and four Dross Tamwortbs. The sow had been bred to a Berkshire and a Tamworth boar, and there were two conoeptions. Mr Wm Rogers, a farmer living about a mile from Belmont, shot himself several times and 'cut his throat. He sent hie Housekeeper, Mrs Smith, away in the morning on an errand to her husband, who was working at a neighboring farmer's. When she returned she found Rogers dead. Hon. Cifford Sifton was nominated for the Commons for Brandon. Ho said he would not accept it unless the school settle- ment proved satisfactory to the people of Manitoba, and at his suggestion a oom- mittee was appointed with power to re• ceive his nomination after the terms of the settlement are submitted to it. Word reached Woodstock, Saturday morning, of the terrible sudden death in West Z„rra, near Gelspie, of Miss Janet Matheson. As far ay can he learned, the old lady, who was 77 years of age, was gathering potatoes in the field Friday evening, when she suddedly dropped dead. Her brother died of heart disease a few years ago, g p e e Montreal Transportation ('omnanv offi- cials say this season has been the busiest they have over experienced. The companys barges have carried more grain to the sea board than ever before, not from this but from St. Lawrence River ports. Iu past years,fourteen or fifteen trips were all that the barges made. This season some of the barges have made seventeen, and the season has not yet closed. The Ogilvies and Lake of the Woods Milling Companies are engaged in a bitter war, but while they cuteach other's throats, Manitoba farmers are largely profiting by the scrap. How bitter is the fight oan be gathered from the fact that Saturday at Neepawa the rival buyers oatbid each other until farmers got 93 cents abashel, or 20 cents more than it was worth at Chicago. At nearly all points, as high as 65 conte is being paid. The result is that wheat deliveries are ooming faster than it oan be moved and all the elevators are full. The house No. 16 St. Vincent Toronto, made famous by the discovery in it of the bodies of the Peitzel children, is coned and avoided. No one will occupy it, and it might as well be pulled down, lest it be- oomee a veritable haunted house, The house is owned byMre Nudell,aud yesterday Mrs John Wilson, on her behalf, appealed to have the assessment of $700 reduced. Sirs Wilson said it was impossible to gels a tenant to stay in the house. The court took 8100 off the cottage last year,and now it has taken off another $200 Pupils of the Canada Business College, Chatham, seem to meet with wonderful snooeee in securing ohoioe positions. It will be notioed in the advertisment which appears this week, that one of the pupils, John Pierce has seonred a good position ea stenographer with the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co., in Montreal, and another pupil, Aroh. McPherson, has secured the position of assistant book-keeper with the Goold Bioycld Co., Brantford. Last week we noted the placing of three others, Aggie Tanner as stenographer with D. M. Ferry & Co. Detroit, Mattie Sedhriet se book- keeper with Corringtou & Long, Trent, Mioh,and Olive Lindley as stenographer in the G. R. & I. Ry. Office at Grand Rapids. Every one of these is a choice appoint- ment and it mast be gratifying, so the pro- prietors of this popular eohool to have their pupils meet with such favor with the bneinese public. A number of poetmaetere are to be dis- placed. In no cage has action been taken except upon clear proof. One postmaster was chairman of aoommittee, another al- lowed matter passing through the mail to be opened and Conservative campaign sheets tobe inserted, when it was made np again and forwarded. One postmaster noticing a letter from the Liberal candidate to the Liberal committeemen, retained it for five days, finelly delivering it on the day of the election, unfortunately forgetting that the dating stamp would give him away. These are some' of the oases. In Ontario only one postmaster has been displaced, and that was not for political reasons. The office is in the riding of South Grey. For five years the old postmaster had been bed- ridden, the duties being performed by his daughter. He died in Ootober, and the daughter made application for the position. She received promises, but a few days after the eleotion a political friend of the late Government was appointed. This ap- pointment was 'nulled and the ' ditiighter reappointed, she having given satisfaction for so many years. The Department of Trade and Oorn- ' tierce is In receipt of a report from Mr John Dunn, its agent at Bristol. He etatee that steamers from Montreal and Quebec have brought to that port cattle, sheep, cheese and butter in large quantities, and the trade In these erasure to be established upon aflrm ba- t We. So long as Oauadtan shipper. study the requirements of 'the English market, and keep up the quality of the goods which they desire to send, they oan easily hold their own agaioet the continental merchants and competi- tion from Australia and New Zealand. Shipments like the above are profiting well, and later uo doubt there will be further shipments. The prices are bound to improve. Canadian hay has come in largely of late, and the British merchants are in direct communication with the fodder merchants in Unlade. He hopes to see the trade assume larg- er dimensions, There were three or four cousignwents of Canadian toma- u,atoes thio year, but at the time of their arrival in Bristol the local mar- ket was simply glutted with the toma- toes from the Channel Islands and France. They only realized from lid to 2d per Ib. wholesale, and this would scarcely cover the coat of transit. The marvellous crop of mushrooms has been killing the tomato trade, and he regrets that tbeconsigners had not no- tified him before shipping, as arrange- tnente might have been made for their more profitable sale. Apples from Montreal have been Belling at from 108 to 12s a bbl. at public auction, The English apple crop has been a total failure, and in addition recent storms have simply ruined the orchards. Dur- ing the early part of this month the English crop must all be put on the market as it will not keep,and later on pelt •F will be better. Tere is one thing tt remember, that the demand is limited, and any extravagant ship- ments to load up the markets will cer- tainly be attended with loss. On no account must rubbish be sent, but the very best picked fruits. NEWS NOTES Mr C. Wall, of Plympton, reports that while on the farm of Richard Vannetter, Brooke, he pulled a single beanstalk and counted un it 225 pcds, which would average 5 beans to each pod, or an aggregate of 1,275 beans. One of Drayton's most prominent citizens, Mr Martin Schneider, died on Friday, after a lingering illness. Deceased was well-known throughout this county as an extensive grain and cattle dealer, and was universally lik- ed. He was postmaster of Drayton. Jas. Meadows, of Dresden, lost a span Dt four-year-old colts and a wag- on load of vegetables at Wallaceburg a few days ago. The colts took fright and ran away down Nelson street, at the foot of which they plunged into the river, where they were drowned. Premier Greenway issued, on Tuesday a statement over his cwn signature, show. ing that the total wheat yield for Manitoba this year is 14, 371,806 bushels, an average of 14.5 per acre. This report is based on the latest replies from correspondents, as a result of threshing operations. Before leaving for the ()oast on Tuesday Mr. Tarte dismissed about 40 temporary employee from his department. They engaged principally about workshops, and got their positions principally because t hey were Conservatives, and not on account of there being any work for them. The election trials will begin in On- tario on Nov. 18th and will run along till Jan. 4th. That sill allow plenty of time to hold the new elections he - fore the House meets, except in cases where the original decisions are ap- pealed from. North Peri h will he the first county heard from. lion. Messrs Watson and McMillan, members of the Manitoba Government who have been at Ottawa completing negotiation for the school settlement with the Dominion Cabinet, returned to Winnipeg Tuesday evening. Both gentlemen stated there was nothing new for publication, and nothing mot e would be divulged till the matter came up before a full meeting of the Mani- toba Government. Both,however, ap- peared to be fully satisfiewith the re- sult of their visit to the capital. The following letter is published from the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier to the Ontario Federation Cluha:—"I take an early opportunity, imtnediately after the close of the session, to convey to you and to the members of the Liberal Clubs of Ontario my thanks and the .,hanks of the party for the great ser- vices which they rendered to the Lib- eral cause during the last elections. To them, to their constant, energetic and enthusiastic exertions, is due no email part of the victory which crown- ed cur efforts. If they continue their work in the future as they have done in the past, I have no doubt It will be productive of still more good." Omaha, Nebraska, reports that the freight, car famine is assuming alarm- ing proportions in the west. The Mis- souri Pacific Railroad is short over 600 cars north of Kansas City, and the Union Pacific, Burlington, Omaha, Elk- hor n and Rock Island Railways are far behind in the number of requiredcare in Nebraska, while the car famine in Iowa and Kansas is even worse. The roads have need of care for extra freight, for all the wheat in the coun- try to being rushed to market during the present high prices. Although it is believed by many that the market will reach $1 before a slump, the aver- age shipper and farmer are taking no chances, and consequently want to get their wheat on the market at once. An extraordinary scene occurred at the Toronto Council last Monday night, reflecting the feeling of a large section of Toronto ratepayers, who are feeling the depression consequent up- on the collapse of the boom and bur- den of high taxation. D. A. Watt, a prominent member of the labororgani- zations, speaking for a deputation, de- clared that the people were now work• ed up as they were previous to the re- bellion of 1837. Canada, he said, con- tained 4,000,000 slaves and 1,000,000 of- fice -holders. Mr Watt then emphati- cally exclaimed that the matter was co- veted by four "Rs." The first is Rights, —our rights, and we want them. Next comes Reason—and there is reas- on in our demands; the third is Rebel- lion—we are being driven to it, and the fourth is Rifles, which always bring the people their rights." Cbeere from the gallery greeted the speaker at the conclusion of these words, and excitement reigned in the council chamber. Mr Watt was compelled to stand aside, but refused to withdraw any portion of his speech. Toronto, 1.7th: Oct., 1896 To the Editor of the Area Era DEAit SIR:—From recent personal references to myself in the columns of one or two Huron County newspapers, it is evident that a misapprehension exiete in some quarters as to the cir- cumstances of my becoming an em- ployee of the Ontario Gover nment,and that it is supposed I owe my position to the influence of my uncle, Mr Thoe, Gibson, M. P.P., for East Huron. As this is a matter which, in the eyes of some, has euddenly taken on public importance, I desire to correct this ap- prehension, and to state briefly the facts. In 1880 the Hon. T. B. Pardee required the services of a private secre- tary, his former secretary having re- signed, and he asked a mutual friend of his and my own —the late George Eyvel—to recommend a suitable man for the place. I was t hen in the ern - ploy of the English and Scottish In- vestment Company, of Toronto, but had previously been on the reporting staff of the Globe, and was considered to have the necessary qualifications for the position. Mr Eyvel recom- mended me. I was sent for by Mr Pardee, and after an interview with him was engaged as his secretary. I left the employ of the Investment Co., and entered upon my duties without any reference whatever to my uncle, without his knowledge, and without his being consulted in any way what- ever, In 1880, having suffered from a severe attack of writer's cramp, I re- signed my position, much, I have reas- on to believe, to Mr Pardee's regret, and returned to Wroxeter, where I en- tered into business, which after five years ended unsuccessfully. In 1891 a friend from another part of the coun- ty asked me to recommend him as shorthand writer to the Bureau of Mines, which was then being organis- ed. As I knew him to be a good man I did so, as also did my uncle. The re- ply I received was that it was under- stood that I was myself out of a posit- ion, that my previous experience in the Crown Lands Department would ena- ble me to be of service in the Bureau of Mines, and that if I would accept the place I could have it. After some hesitation, for I was not at all anxious to re-enter the Government service, I decided to accept the offer, and did so. My uncle again knew nothing of the matter until I showed him the letter I had recieved from the Department. Neither on the first or second occasion had he anything to do with my ap- pointment, and it is altogether untrue to say or insinuate that he exercised his influence in my behalf I consider- ed that on both occasions I was ap- pointed on my own qualifications alone, and I did not require the assist- ance or influence of any one, nor did I ask it. It is a fact that the influence of my uncle during his long public car- eer has been sparingly asked, and as sparingly exercised. on behalf of any of his relatives; but I have yet to learn that relationship to a member of the Legislature is a bar to the exercise of any of the rights of citizenship. One of these I claim to he the right to earn my living honestly the hest way I can. i would he ashamed, sir, to trouble you with these personal details, which ought to he of no earthly interest to any one but myoelf, were it not that the fact of my being in the employ of the Government has been made the ground of a charge of nepotism against my uncle. I have reluctantly written this letter as the hest means of show- ing that no such ground exists. Yours very truly, THOS. W. GIBSON. (So far as the Naw ERA is concerned this explanation is unnecessary, for we never alluded to the appointment of Mr T. W. Gibson in any shape or form. We thought a mistake was made in the appointment of Registrar, and said so, but we made no reference to other members of the family.—Ed. Naw ERA.] Huron County Endeavorers With a view of awakening a greater interest among the members of the various Christian. Endeavor Societies in Huron county, and through the kindness of the press in granting us space, the President purposes placing before the Christian Endeavorers as many interesting items as may be placed at his dieposal from time to time. He asks the hearty co-opera- tion of every society in furnishing him with crisp, cheery, sparkling news, which be will arrange and present to the press. We would include election of officers; the best items on your new programs; commendable features in your officers or Society; anniversary services, etc. The President cannot glean this informatirn himself, but with the aid of each Endeavorer, par- ticularly the ollicers, it cannot fail. Communications, unsealed, will go for 1 cent, or in many cases postcards, plainly written, would answer. The continuance of this column will de- pend on the willingness of the various societies to aid. Address all communi- cations to W. H. Kerr, drawer 81, Brussels. Secretary Cooper, of Clinton, was away to St. John, N. 13., last week, at- tending the Railway Ticket Agents' Convention. The proposed union gathering of the Co. Endeavor Union and Co. Sabbath School Association appears to meet with general approval. Miss Annie Rose, of Blyth, a Vire President, of the Co. Union, has resign- ed her position as teacher in Blyth Public school. The Goderich District EpworthLeague Convention will be held in Seaforth,on the first Tuesday of March next. Rev. A.C. Crews, Provincial Secretary, will be present.
