THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1B08,
THE GAMEY CHARGES.
The debate on the bribery charges
made by Mr. R. R. Gamey, the member
for Manitoulin,. against Hon. J. R.
Stratton, provincial secretary, continues
from day to day in the Ontario legis-
lature,
The government have named Sir J. A.
Boyd, chancellor of Ontario, and Hon.
W. G. Folconbridge, chief justice of
the Ring's Bench division, as the royal
commiseiou to hear the Gamey charges.
The opposition is still dissatisfied and
wee t a committee of members of the
legislature to heat' the charges.
The whole thing is developing into a,
miserable fiasco, and when all this
speechmaking is at an end, what will
be theresult—nothing, with a continua-
tion of the Noodling by both Grits and
Tories that has curoed the fair province
of Ontario for many years past.

prices Messrs. Currin Bro. have:

vicinity.... Mr. John Shopppord and

red pressed brick, cement block base-
ment, metallic ceiling, and the newest
improved seating. The Nile people

It is being built on the old site,,..'Tlte
concert held at Nile on March 10th,
under theauspices of the Epworth
League, was a decided success ftnan-
cielly and intellectually. The program
was excellent, consisting of music by
the choir, recitation by our esteemed
teacher, Miss McIntosh, which was
well rendered; also the recitation by
Mise Coupland, entitled "Poorhouse
Nan," was rendered in a very pleasing
manner. The recitation by Rev. J. L.
Smell, of Auburn, entitled "Lasca,''
held the audience spellbound. Last,
but not least, Rev. T. B. Coupland's
lime -light viewe were very beautiful
and instructive, and pleasing both to
y osng and old, The proceeds amounted
to 5'20.
—The election expenses of Mr. A. G.
McKay, the Liberpl candidate in the
Nye -election to 1111 the North Grey
vacancy in the Ontario legislature,
were $1481,44. As a member of the
Ontario legislature only gets 5000 a
session, it will take Mr. McKay nearly
two and a half years to pay hie election
expenses, providing he Beta his board,
refreshments, etc., free.
—The village of Acton has an officer to
which it pays 5'40 a year for being as-
sessor, collector, sanitary inspector,
caretaker of town hall, caretaker of
public school, caretaker of memory,
collector of electric light rentals, repair-
ing and building sidewalks, cutting
Weeds, constable, pound -keeper, truant
officer and such other duties as may be
required in connection with the muni-
cipality.
—The legislature of North Carolina
has passed an art prohibiting the menu -
facture or sale of liquor except in in-
corporeted towns, the result has been
a general movement of shall places to
incorporate. Fully 50 bills for this
purpose are now before the legislature.
In one instance, the town seeking indbr-
poration contains only a distillery, the
houses of the workmen in the distillery,
and the family homestead of its owner,
Another place where two distilleries
are situated wente to incorporate,
though there are not half a dozen
families there, nor a post -office within
two miles. In other coo the dwellers
in the group of houses about a cross-
roads bar -room wish the place to be
made an incorporated town.
BRUSSELS.
W'Alis.—Mr, W, 10, McCracken at-
tended the grand lodge of the Ancient
order of United Workmen in Toronto
lest week... .Rev. W. R. George, of
Charing Cross, is spending a few days
iu town, the guest of Rev. I. Barker
Webb Rev T Wesley Cozens end
11rs. Cosene entertained the members of
the choir and orchestra of the Methodist
church at the parsonage one evenfug
recently. Forty-three persona came in
response to the invitation, and a most
enjoyable evening WAS spent. Such
"at homes" cannot Lail to do good....
Mr. W. H. Kerr has returned from
Ottawa, where he gave ea address at
the Eastern Good Roads aesociatiou
VII veatiolt,.,,The water was higher in
—Messrs. D. D. Wilson & Co., of
Seaforth, have obtained a month's
extension of time in which to ccmplete
a sale of their egg pickling plant, on
which Air. George Moore, of Waterloo,
has a mortgage which he is reeking to
enforce. Moore's mortgage claim is
312,000, and he has been taking proceed-
ings to realize it by selling the property
under the power of rale in the mort-
gage. Messrs. Wilson & Co. allege
that they have an offer of 325,000 for
the egg plant which they will be able to
receive in a month 0 the proceedings
are stayed. Chancellor Boyd granted
the stay Tuesday morning in the
Toronto weekly court. The mortgage
aecouut is to be taken in the meantime
by the local master at Stratford.
—Did you ever notice how persistent-
ly some people stickle the end of the
seat? This is especially tioticeable in
church. We believe there are more
recede who would rather hitch up on
the back of the seat in a posture half
way between a Sit and a stand and let a
person climb over their knees, step
under their feet and, if a woman, yank
her wrap and dreee all one-sided, than
push along in the seat. There seems to
be an inuute delight in hanging on to
the end. Take a meeting in a public
hall when the seats are not checked off,
and the majority of the people who
come try to get an end seat, and then
hold it against all comers. Otherewho
come eau climb oyer, or under and any
eoty, but a stick of dynamite wouldntt
move the end-of-the'seat man, We are
Dot aware that any person has any
moral or legal right to any one par-
ticular position in a seat or pew, but
some hang ou to it as though they had
a mortgage upon that obstructive posi-
tion. It is all assumed right only.
—In the last issue of the Goderich
Signal, the new proprietors had the
following to say of the future policy of
their paper :—In politics the Signal has
been independently Liberal; we pur
pose it shail remain so. The idea of
independence in journalism has been
noticeably growing of recent years in
Canada, and it is a wholesome sign.
True, there have been for many years
in Ellie country journals which hove
glade a show of independence, insipid,
purposeless things of the "0," "but,"
and " on the other hand" style—of this
sort of "independence" the less the
tetter. Of immeasurably greater use-
fulness, to our mind, is the journal
which, believing in certain lines of
policy, espouses the cause of that party
through which it reasonably hopes its
aims may be achieved; not yielding a
slavish allegiance, nor denying some
virtue in the opposite party, but sup-
porting its own party warmly when it
ie right and taking the part of a candid
Need when it goes wrong. In this
spirit the Signal purposes to continue,
preferring principle to party, discussing
measures rather than mon, but honestly
and fairly advocatiug the cause of
Liberalism so long as it believes such a
course to be in the best interests of the
people whom it wishes to serve.
