OCri' esteemed town contemporary, the New Era, is still in the apology business at the old stand. That paper has for some Cline been slandering Mr, Weistniller, the recent Conservative candidate in West Huron and opened its columns, as on previous occasions, for the free use of unprincipled and de- ceptive writers. The other week that paper announced a u eek ahead of pub- lication that it would give the public a treat in the shape of "Mr. Weismiller, past and present." No doubt the arti- cle was carefully prepared and revised. The lying production appeared, and now the New Era expresses regret for his sins and asks forgiveness, saying that. it has "no desire to place 111r. Weismiller in an improper light." This latter declaration is not borne out by facts. Every article that has ap- peared in our cotem. referring to Mr. Weismiller goes to prove that they were for the purpose of placing the late candidate in an Improper light before the ele^tore; and the statement that "the New Era endeavors at all times to ho straight, even to its opponents," will not meet with much credence from a serntinizing and impsrtlal public. However, it is refreshing to again witness our cotem. swallowing its own medicine and acknowledging that it allowed the use of its columns to make untrue statements about Mr. Weis - AN INCONSISTENT PRESS. Our readers will easily recall the old contention of the Toronto Globe and Grit Press generally, that the Tariff had no effect on wages. They ridicul- ed the idea that the imposition of cus- toms duties on imported goods could affect the wages of Canadian working- men, and especially of those engaged in employments not protected by the Tariff. It is somewhat amusing now to note the anxiety of those papers to claiin that the advance in wages of some of the industries in the United States is due to the late revised tariff. This is a case in which consistency would great- ly add to a faithful memory. It is real- ly embarrassing for the zealous Grit editor to discover from day to day, just where he is at. THE PRICE OF IVHKA7. The New Era has twice been invited to reply to our article on the above subject. In place of that we notice the aid of some outsider has been secured and a letter written signed "A Liberal." It is hardly worth notice beyond the pointing out to our readers of the con- summate folly therein displayed. To prove this we give one quotation : "The imposition of a duty can never increase the prices of local produce, neither can it reduce them" and this is written by "A Liberal" and printed in a Grit paper, a class of people who are continually telling us that protection increases the price of everything and that the consumer Frays the duty. If this is all the New Era has got to say about the price of wheat perhaps the editor will suggest the name of some other subject which he is better posted 011. THE SIO N.4 L EATING PLAIN CROW. The Goderich Signal has been engag- ed—very busily engaged—eating plain crow during the past few weeks, and whines like a whipped youth. During his melancholy hours, he weeps bitter- ly of his sins and at intervals returns to the crow while he reads THE NEWS RECORD and at last realizes that his many political errors have found him out. Oh, no, Mr. Signal; THE NEWS - RECORD will, with your iperrnission, continue to weekly form a part of your valued wail 'natter, and we ,night say for the benefit of the public that you as usual received this great home journal last. week. Since the time of nomination the Signal has been very loud in its endor- sation of the independent candidate and denouncing everything Conserva- tive. On the puhlic platform the dec- laration was made thatTodd telegraph- ed N. Clay ke Wallace "For God sake take this nran Newman out of the field !" We denied t he statement and challenged pried' frau' those who made the charge. The proof has never been offered, and we alight just as well say can not„ he produced. The Signal and his inlet tors have resorted to quibbling in order to ease themselves down and are agonizingly endeavoring to side- track the issue. Ti11r NEw'H-REc'(>nr) will have none of it. Otir position has from the first, been maintained, and until these conspirators clear thein - selves or acknowledge that they have resorted to misrepresentation they trust continue to eat plain crow.

T11i: NEws-Reecon1) can produce a number of sworn statement', in addi- tion to those already given, to make good our contentions 10 regard to the recent West Huron election McGillicuddy and Newman do not take any stock in sworn statements. Such hying the case, the public mutt, now place proper value en anything eilher of theme gentry mei • say. The Seaforth Expositor asked TUE Ne:ws•i-tiu'oltu to say something about Mr. Weis'niller• tout his "six hundred acre farm." As stated last week, Mr. Weismiller is well able to lake care of himself, and as proof of this the New Era gets down on his knees and ac- knowledges the Expeeiter'S insinua- tions to be false. When Sir ,Iehn Macdonald was asked why lie did not insist, on it Pi o_ tocti '.0 tariff, while in power, previous to 1873, his answer was : "First, because from 1851 to 1866 we had reciprocity; secondly, because from 18(16 until the time i left the country in Mr. Macken- zie's hands the circumstances resulting from the war in the ilnited States rendered their keen competition with 118 impossible." Mr. Muluck went from Ottawa to the great atit.i-ren-etlial mee',ing at Toronto with a message from Mr. Laurier de- claring that there ought to be no re- medial law, and endeavoring to arouse a popular feeling against the Roman Catholics. On the same day a body of Liberal leaders in Quebec delivered another message from Mr. Laurier, the recipient being Archbishop Begin, the coadjutorofCardinalTaschereau. This message pointed out that the Remedial hill has deficiencies—in other words, that it is not so stiff as the Church ought to require it to he, and as Mr. Laurier world make it. The' Opposi- tion leader is putting public Intelligence to a severe strain. 'll'+,off r1,t�Atq ere fitir satQof it ii'Y.tt ` *t:cotem apologises Ikt'r.. We44er for allowing lya :ins writers to,,10114der that gentieutun. hut has yet failed tu' acknowledge that the New Era approved and endorsed such statements as being true. It would now be in good taste for the New Era to again apologise to Mr. Weismiller for endorsing the lying statements of a correspondent, where the editor said the correspondent knew whereof he spoke. England built up her manufacturing industries under the most severe and rigid system of Protection that the world has ever seen. In some instan- ces she not only prohibited importa- tion, but prohibited the export of ma- chinery under a penalty, and passed laws 'o prevent the emigration of her expert or skilled labor. She carried Protection so far that in sorne instan- ces it was made a punishable offence even to sell or use commodities manu- factured abroad. The Liberals, according to their Que- bec journals, want to flx upon Manito- ba a school system under the control of the clergy,, with no inspection, end with unauthorized books. They also desire a provision declaring, in accord- ance with section 6 of the syllabus, that Roman Catholics shall not he free to use whatever schools they please. When `the proper time enures there will be such a pronouncement against coercion that the gentleman, of sunny ways will be sorry he spoke. The Ottawa cor'responnent of the Lindsay Warder writes thus to his paper:— "The life of a member of Parliament is a peculiar one. This week alone forty letters have been received by the writer, referring to the Remedial hill. Nineteen of thein recommend the member for North Victoria to vote for the bill right through, and as one writes, `comply with your oath as an Orangeman by doing justice.' The rest are chiefly against the hill ; but some conclude by saying, 'You should do what you think best for the coun- try'; while others say, 'stick to the old party that has made Canada.' Of the nineteen ordering the member to sup- port the bill, all are Protestants, and eleven are Orangemen, and one is a True Blue; while of those advising op- position to the hill, strange to say, two are Roman Catholics. The member who pleases everyone on that bill will be a perfect marvel." Judging by the first three sentences, the correspondent is Mr. Sam Hughes, M. P., who is himself a staunch Orangeman. Laurier on Two Horns. Mr. Laurier's proposal to settle the Manitoba school question by a com- mission of enquiry has drawn into print the different views he has taken in different parts of the country. At the Liberal convention in Ottawa he said, not in his English speech, but in that which he delivered in French :— "The Government have done what they have always done in such eases—nothing ; if they did one thing they would irritate their Protestant following in Ontario. and if the did the other they would irritate their Catholic following in Quebec." It is important to note here how thoroughly conscious and how frank the hon. gentleman was on the subject of the value of the issue to hiniself as a means of arousing religious passions. "I tell you," tie proceeds, "what i would do if I were Prime Minister, I would doustice, 00 matter what the consequences might be, and not shift away my responsibility." What ever was to be done would he done by Mr. Laurier himself, and not. through the shifting of responsibility, which is obviously contemplated in the conunissron proposal. NOT has the hen. gentleman been less inconsistent touching the nhjec•t at which he aims. He has sent his emissaries to the con- stituencies in which Protestants are in the majority to oppose what, there he describes as coercion. But he has figured as a coercinnist himself in the Roman Catholic, districts. Ile spoke at Grand River, in the Con•nty of Gaspe, nn the 24th of August last. The lead- ing sten of that locality have prepared an affidavit touching what he said, and have forwrarded it to The Mail and Empire. ft appeals that Ire was asked if, should he become Prime Minister, he would have remedial legislation in- troduced w th the consent of his fol- lowers; and, again, if, in ih* event of a hill being suabrnitted by Sir Mackenzie Bowel! for the readjustment of the grievances rrnnplaineel of, he would support, the measure. The affidavit se ys : • "That in answer to this questlorrthc Icon. Mr. Laurier declared with great warmth that he wanted to have the question settled in accord- ance with the 'sews of the Manitoba. Catholic- minority., 'at.holleminority, and that if he became Mime Minister of ('anrula he wmild try to readiest the difnculty by siting on these lines; and, further, that If Sir Mackenzie- Rowell's Oovernm,mr suhrnitted In Parliament remedial lea -Mallon of (ltit+ kind he would give ranch a memoir° his. most hearty support.." IL will thins be seen beyond a doubt Unit. Mr. imir•ier has been an ant,!- rernedial where it was popular to he so, and a remedialist where he thought he could gain by so doing. Political Points.

There is a roan in Ottawa who is Suspected of using dog's flesh to make hot and savory meat pies. Well, why shouldn't the Ottawa politicians eat dog? They often eat crow. After talking about the budget for a month, the 1)onrin:on house of com- mons has adopted it. without a division.

Purified Blood Saved an operation in the following case. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures when all others fail. It makes pure blood. "A year ago my father, William Thomp- son, was taken suddenly 111 with inflam- mation of the bladder. He suffered a great deal and was very low for some time. At last the doctor said he would not get well unless aii!o�i>eration was performed. At this time we read about Hood's Sarsapa- rilla and decided to try it. Before he used half a bottle his appetite had come back to him, whereas before he could eat but little. When he had taken three bottles of the medicine he was as well as ever." Fiume J.

VOICE OF THE PRESS. Fits the Circular City Fabricator. Mail and Empire. It, seems as if there were now more hell -inspired fabricators than hell -in- spired hypocrites among Mr. Laurier's followers. He Was Talking Against Time. Victoria Warder. No progress. Mr. Macdonald of Huron, grit, spoke last week for five mortal hours ; and said nothing new, and not much sensible. Taking the Money of the Dead and Living. Hamilton Spectator. The late Mr. Massey left one legacy which is not included in the published list. He left about $150,000 to those poor orphans who are running the gov- ernment at Toronto, and it will come in mighty handy, too, as the poor or- phans' cash box rs empty. ^ The Conspiracy of Silence. Montreal Gazette ° It is remarked in Ontario that the Liberal papers of that province do not reproduce what the Liberal papers of this province say upon the Manitoba remedial bill. It Le also to he remarked that the Liberal papers of Quebec do not reproduce what. the Liberal paper's of Ontario say on the same subject. A party with a different policy for each political division, has not much opportunity for reciprocity in argu- ments between its sections. Laurier Riding Both Horses. Mail and Empire. The Toronto Globe is agitated be- cause The Mail and EmpIire bas men- tioned that it has an afdevit.,made by persons who attended one of Mr. Laurier's Quebec meetings, decl:u'ing that the lender pledged himself to the French-Canadirets to bring in or to support a Remodiai bill, ()lir contem- porary adds that the affidavit, does not tell the truth. There need he no won- der that the Globe is in a state et ex- ritement. The affidavit does spoil the Ontario end of the game. As to the statement that the affidavit does not tell the truth, all that can be said is the', it is more difficult to accept our contemporary's denial I han hi believe that the gentlemen who swear to what Mr. I.ru•ier said have perjured them- selves. As a ,natter of fact., it wits known that. Mr. Laurier in. his agents in. the press wooed deny the speech, just as the "Thank God, there ave no Orangemen in our party," phrase was repudiated. For this reason the pledge given by Mr. Laurier was taken down on the sport, and its language certified on the oath of gentlemen whorn the leader himself dare not charge with falsification. The Council and the People. Erbidnr Nems -Record. DEAR Sar, The Council of thist,own peforniecl some peculiar feats last Mon- day evening. One of these was to pass an account of $13 tor medical attend- ance on Miss Bay, and soot her account of $15 for rt nurse. As a taxpayer 1 hold the Council had no legal right to spend this $28 in such a way, still such acheese-paring ('owncillot' as M r. Searle would not even say nay. Another peculiar feature was the extending the collector's roll. Here we are in March and not a solitary councillor has the pluck to even ask why the taxes are not all in. We have a paid servant to see that the taxes are paid and three months after they are dire no reason is assigned why they are not paid. This is not proper. it is not business, and I hope the members will awake to the fact. Another feat was the decision in regard to the ringing of the hell Saturday night. The Coun- cil does not object to promoters of the movement ringing the hell, but they do object to a paid servant of the people performing the duty. The hell ringer is well paid for his ser^rtes, and I consider the decision an ineult to some of the hest people in Clinton. Another feat was the Mayor appoint- ing a committee—a citizens commit- tee -to dispose of the $10,000 Stavely estate money. Surely the Reeve should have been on that Committee, as well as Councillor Gilroy Mr. W. Doherty, Mr. John Ransfore�, Mr. W. Jackson and several others I might name. These peculiar freaks on the part of the Council are something an ordinary elector cannot well under- stand. The late Reeve McMurchie is much missed from the Board. TAXPAYER.

The Grits Dernier Kessort. Editor News -Record. During a few days visit to Toronto one may learn more of the "true in- wardness" of Political Parties, and of their unscrupulous "wire pulling" than can he obtained in a rural hanilet. A good, well -furnished, heated and light- ed (coni can be got for $1.25 a week, and at Tough's restaurant No. 207 Yonge street, a "square ureal" for 10 cenus or 11 meals for a dollar, every whit as snhstant ia1 as one has to pay 25 cents for at the cheapest hotel. Once domiciled, he may read the news in an early morning pancr, step in to Tough's, get his breakfast, then walk about admiring the city's splendid architecture, extensive stores, manu- factories, halls, trolley street cars on which ne can go to any part of the city he chooses tor 5 cents, 'transfer' tickets being given, if to reach his destination, it is necessary to change cars. At. 3 o'clock p, tn. he may occupy a seat in "Visitor's Gallery" of the Parliament listeningg' to the vocal wis- dom of our law•rnakers. On theSah- hath day he. will go to church wherever he desires. if the preacher chance to he a Grit, our visitor will hear very much of coercing Manitoba, in both prayers and sermons, with a spice of Armenia sandwiched between. Strange 1' that unwise zeal for the re- lief of sufferers in a province of Turkey, should prompt anybody to urge what would prodnee a European war and the slaughter of thousand= ! But, what has all this to do with the Remedial Bill and Manitoba? To be sure, what of the Prairie Province? Under existing Laws, Religion is taught in all the schools. Presbyterians, Baptists, Episcopal- ians, Menonites, and Methodists, each insist that, in school, the Pastors shall instruct the children of their congrega- tions. Catholic children roust listen, nr `go hems,' hence, the Catholics call for "Separate Schools." Mr. Green- way, being approached on the matter, expressed his wish to escape the pres- ent confusion, by "Secularizing all the Schools" and allow neither BThle nor Lord's Prayer to be used therein. To this, Protestants stoutly object. The purpose of the Remedial Bill is to bring order out of the present confusion, and apply to the Prairie Province, the "Modus Vivendi" that obtains in the "Banner Province" of Ontario, that is all. Yet the Grits have howled "coer- sion" till they have saturated Sermons and Prayers in the "Sacred Desk." Never before, since the days of Gov- ernor Sydenham in 1841, have they so widely dissetninated one of their hob - hies for purely partisan purposes! If they fail to break the Government, and get onto the Treasury Benches by this, their biggest, "hon," then roust they bid fat ewell to Hope. The country will "none of th i Free Trade," and if the "coercion" cry , does not carry the Grit party to triumph, nothing will, so good bye to hope. R. F.
