Newman ride the same horse? No more unfortunate allusion could have been made by Sir Richard Cartl- wright in his speech on the budget than his allusion to the case of Ireland? What has free trade done for Ireland ? Can anyone doubt that if she had pro- tection against the sister island her in- dustries would not flourish? Commer- cial union with a country which possesses long established and diversi- fied industries has kept Ireland poor. And yet this is the condition to which Sir RichardeCartwright is trying to re- duce Canada. "Every manufacturer worth his salt," says Sir Richard Cartwright, "was just as prosperous in 1878 as he is now or has been since that lime." The statement is certainly not trne as far as Clinton is concerned. The Do- herty organ factory is a case in point. In 1878 the business and buildings were a mere shadow compared with what they are to -day. And the Nation- al Policy deserves a fair share of credit for the great change, a change that the people of Clinton full well know has brought considerable business and pros- perity to this town. Sir Richard cannot preach such doctrine as far as Clinton is concerned, That eminent would-hc Orange cham- pion of Goderich, Daniel McGillicuddy the notorious annexationist, has for many moons dubbed the editor of this great family journal the County Mas- ter of South Huron. Ile suspects that once a man is in office the Orange bi ethr -n are so narrow-minded that a mortal Is compelled to hold office for the natural term of his whole life. When the rebellious wind -hag of the county town awakes from his long sleep on this matter he will find that a dozen or more County Masters have served long and faithful terms. An- nexationists will wallovb long in the mire before they learn the ordinary rudiments in matters of this kind. Sir Charles Tupper, Secretary of State, was given a grand reception on his return to Ottawa. There is more truth than poetry in the statement that Newman and Mc- Gillicuddy are well up in the business of "hoss talk." How would "hossinan" Polley take to McGillicuddy's horse as a money speculation? He deals in horses. It is the said the remedial bill will be a very moderate measure. It was to have been brought down yesterday. Robert Newman has generously re- ferred THE NEws-RECORD, through the colmmnF of a rebel newspaper, to a severe denunciation in the Orange Sen- tinel of James L. Hughes, the present R. W. Orange Grand Master rf Ontario West, and says he endorses such criti- cism. We regret that we are compell- ed to refer to this matter. These who were guilty of passing such a resolution and publishing it have committed a most heinous violation of the written laws of the Institution and should he dealt with. Clause 147 renders the per- petrators liable to suspension or expul- sion, which we mention for the benefit of our traducer; further than this the matter must for the present remain. By some unknown means the Gode- rich Star has satisfied itself that a "mutual admiration society has here- tofore existed between the Signal and CLINTON NEWS -RECORD." As we un- derstand the English language "mu- tual" means to be reciprocal. each acting in correspondence to the other; "admiration" an net of admiring, sur- prise; "society" a union in one gener- al interest, partnership, an association forrnertforsome obj�iect, either scientific literary, religious, -benevolent, political convivial. The assertions of the Star, then, must be taken with a very large grain of salt. They must be tak- bn as untrue, because the farts are the very opposite. Fancy the rebel Signal and Tin NEWS -RECORD being united in one general interest or being in part- nership ? The illustration of our mu- tual friend the Star. ie as unhappy and uncalled for ant it is glaringly ridiculous. Another charge against the N. P. will be that there is no Yankee market for Canadian horses. The Signal and Newman are responsible to a great degree for this state of things. No such class of animal is produced in Canada as they picture. We do not pretend to be a very good judge in the horse line. but we would venture three to one that we can pro- duce a more spirited animal than the Signal nag. What do the readers of THE NEWS -RECORD think ? We really don't like to multiply titles, but to be serious and with all due respect, we beg to award the palm of Ananias the second to Daniel Mc- Gillicuddy, the notorious, who happens to edit the Goderich Signal. Several grit newspapers, among them the Hamilton Times and one or more trove Huron, objects to the loyalty re- solution being favorably passed on by the Dominion Parliament. These pa- pers in effect declare that Canada is not loyal to the British Empire. Such writers should at once annex themsel- ves to the scars and stripes. The Goderich Signal now has an as- sistant editor in the person of Robert Newman, the late P. P. A. candidate, who swears by all that is good and great that he has not and is not assist ing the Grit party. When THE NEWS - RECORD recently said there was an al- liance we were severely criticised by some of Mr. Newman's supporters, but after events go to prove that we were right. iz A. '4RIOWS 41D111O11.

Prom the Woodetoek, N. B., Beutinel. A reporter cit the Sentinel recently dropped into the Vic toria.Hot el looking for general news and to Scan the regis- ter for arrivals, Among those present he noticed a well dressed farmer sitting reading a small pamphlet. The re- porter asked the landlord if there was anything new, and being answered in the negative the farmer turned and addressed hire. "Looking for news, eh? Well, sit down and I'll give you something worth publishing." The reporter was at once on the alert and the farmer continued, "You see this little book I hold in fey handl Well the title of it is "Five Prize Stories" and there is more good sense in it than in half of the philosophical works of the day, and it don't lay in any of the stories either. Well about a year ago I got hold of another little book by the same authors entitled "Four Genera• tions" which I read carefully through and one very important thing I read in it was; beware of'irnitations, just as I read in this little book. Now I wish to show how I had been taken in (deceiv- ed) and how I found it out and how near it carne to costing me the dearest member of my household. Well to begin at the beginning. My name is Shepherd Banks; I reside 11i miles from the village of Bristol, Carleton Co„ N. B., and am a well to-do farmer. For several years my wife was troub- led with pains in the back and weak- ness of the kidneys. About two years ago she was taken very ill, the trouble taking the form of acute rhenmatism. We consulted no less than three differ- ent doctors who, however, failed to help her. She continued to 'grow weaker and weaker. and the pains she endured were something terrible. For over a year she was unable to do a single thing about the house, and she had fallen away in weight from 180 to 130 pounds, and we despaired of her recovery. I happen ed to notice in one of the news- papers a' testimonial of a similar cure through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I immediately got a couple of boxes. My wife began taking them, and by the time she had used these she began to gain appetite and her pains were much eased, and we began to haye great hopes of an ultimate cure. I then went for another supply of the pills. This time I purchased them in bulk, 'paying 30 cents for 100 pills, which were taken from a large glass bottle. I took there home and my wife began their use. Soon after she bean to grow worse again ; the old pains re- turned severer than ever. We still continued the use of the pills until about a third of them were gone. About this time I got through the mail, along with nay neighbors, the book entitled, "Four Generations," ib - sued by the Dr.Williams Medicine Co. On reading it it did not take me long to tind out that the pills I had bought in hulk were a fraud, as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not sold in bulk. but in boxes with the trademark on the wrap- per. I went to the cupboard and tak- a rig down the lox in which the pills were threw it and its contents into the stove. I then went and procuredahalf dozen boxes of the genuine Pink Pills and from the time my wife began their use there was an improvement in her condition. She used about twelve box- es altogether, and to -day there is no heartier or healthier woman in the neighborhood, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the standard medicine in our home. Publish this? Yes, it may do some other sufferer good. We are all thankful for what Pink Pills have done for us, but he sure you caution your readers against those vile imita- tions." Robert Newman has made a serious charge against some banker at Gode- rich, and should be called on to make good his statement. Newman charges the said banker with being a party to, or knowing of a plot. He says :—"I said there had been a conspiracy, as when the money was being drawn from the bank the gentleman said he would give the $200 in one dollar hills, and when questioned only smiled, saying, 'Take them.' It afterward came out at the nomination that the retern- ing officer stated, if the looney is not Do- minion hank notes I cannot accept, from which I inferred that the hanker must have orerheard a plot to reject the money if in large hills or American, and so i stated it looks very suspicious, which you must admit, and your statement that no money was tendered is false. Thomas Gledhill offered the money and had it in one dollar bills. He was accompanied to the hank by two other reputable citizens of your riding, and whose nanies you can have, if you desire them." Newman does not say he was present when the money *as drawn from the hank, but he inferred that the hanker must have overheard a plot to reject the money. Therefore, the hanker delivered money to Newman or his agent in hills of a particular denom- ination that he otherwise would not have done. This sounds strange as a business proceeding, and Mr. New - man's serious charge against the hank- er should he fully explained. Mr. Newman has evidently been dreaming of conspiracies and plots for several moons. Political Points. The prevalent opinion among the Grits to -day is that Sir Charles Tup- per isa ------ imbecile, If an "imbecile" of the Conservative party can pile up a majority close to a thousand, what's going to happen when the sane men of the party take the field? Tupper -hating journals will please chew some more soap over the fact that another Tupper has been unleaded up- on the Tupper -ridden country by the wife of Sir Charles Hibbert of that name. It may become necessary to pass an act of parliament for prohibit- ing the multiplication of Tippers. The Toronto Star is authority for the statement that Sir Oliver Mowat and Hon. G. W. Ross intend to retire from the Ontario government and to enter the federal arena as allies Of Mr. Laurier, and that Hon. Mr, Hardy is to become premier in Ontario: There le no doubt that such an arrangement would strengthen the Liberal cause in this province in the Dominion elec- tions; but it would mean the victory of the Coneervatives at the next genera elections in Ontatio. ¥ R E ' REPORTS.

They are always put up in boxes around which will be found full directions for their use, the whole enclosed in a label hearing the full trade mark, "Dr. Williarns' Pink Pills for Pale People."
