The Late War. Some of our contemporaries feel in clined to criticize unfavorably the Un ited States in connection with the war just concluded, and accuse them of other than humanitarian motives Those who have studied the Spanish ethods of governing her colonies must admit that the situation in these colonies was desperate. Taking Cub as a sample, there is not a civilized na a tion on earth that could approve of the tyranny and injustice meted out to this people—taxed beyond the point of endurance, robbed of everythiog, that is valued by man, promises of re- form violated again and again, there was no redress but revolt, then carne slaughter and rapine that shocked every sense of humanity and apparent. ly left nothing but annihilation for them in the future. Submission meant slavery of the worst type, and to fight to the bitter end was all that was left .to them. That Spain would have ev- entually crushed the rebellion is cer- taiu, hut what then ? There would have been no amelioration in the con- ditions, everything pointed to a worse andharder rule. Slavery or death th was Spain's fiat to the Cubans, and they chose death rather than submit "-,to their inexorable task -masters. It nnust be remembered that this was happening at the very door of a nation that had sacrificed thousands of Iives- and, millions of money, and had run the risk of dismembering the Union, in freeing the slaves of the South, whose condition was net worse, if not better than the Cubans under Spanish rule— a nation whose citizens bad large pe• cuniary interests in Cuba, which could not be, or were not, protected under Spanish government, it became neces- eery to take decisive action. I'tinay be that the Cuban proper is but a poor specimen of manhood, ig- norant, savage. quite incapable ot self- government; looking at their environ - silents, is it to he wondered at. But who is to blame for this? Had Spain given them a liberal amount of free- 'dom, and the blessing that freedom ever brings with it—education—they would, in all probability, have had a prosperous and happy colony, instead of hatred, rebellion and bloodshed. The unpardonable act of sending such an incarnate fiend as Wheeler to sub- due the insurgents banished all hope from their minds, and roused such a feeling of loathing and resentment throughout the United States that could but result in intervention. The course of the American Government has been in such close touch with the sentiment of Great Britain, that no o e need marvel at the outburst of ap- e val manifested by her and her col - Planning to the Philippines we find a similar state of affairs.

The total number of thte cattle before the recent outbreak of the plague in that colony was 1,639,433, and of this r number X70 861, or almost one third of the whole, were lost through this dis- ease. We in Canada are fortunate in that we have healthy herds, acd what is of almost as great importance, a dis- position on the part of our agricultur- ists to keep thein healthy. For the half•year ending June 30, the Grand Trunk carried 130,000 more passengers and 11 per cent more ton - age, than in the corresponding six months in 1897. Despite the passenger rate war, the company declared a dividend of £104,000 on the 4 per cent guaranteed stock, and carried over £2,500 surplus. Under normal condi- tions the showing would have been still better. The company's financial improvement in the last two years has been very marked, and is the best trihute to Mr Hays' tnanagement. Hon. S. C. Wood, managing director of the Freehold Loan and -Savings Company, has just returned from his annual tour of inspection through Man- itoba, and is enthusiastic over the pros- pects. Manitoba, he says, is no longer an experiment, and investments there are as secure as in any other province. Farm land has risen in value, and new land is being rapidly sold. The towns are also doing well. Slr Wood says the theory is advanced that the province is net as liable to injury by frost as was formerly (ha case. It is maintained that the fact of the increased area brought under cultivation gradually affects the climate, and has of late years materially prevented the summer frosts which 'formerly occurred. The Vancouver World sagely ob• serves: —"There is nothing more detri- mental to the usefulness of any public institution, which has for its object the furtherance of the country's inter- ests, than to have it attacked by poli- ticians for the sake of furthering their ends politically," And it scores a point when it makes this forceful ap- plication of the principle laid down:— "In this respect there is no institution that has been so bitterly and persist- ently attacked as the Ontario Agricul- tural ^College, but despite this it has gone forward and flourished, under the most adverse conditions." Who can tell how much more good the country might derive frotn the Agricultural College if the Opposition were to take a hint•from the Liberal course toward the Dominion experimental farms,and instead ofdect•yingand fighting it, help to increase its usefulness to the Pro- vince." The Poor Men Made Canada. Hamilton Times. Did it ever occur to the kid -gloved editors who ate turning up their aris- tocratic noses at the idea of Galician immigration to the North-west, that this Province of Ontario was converted froma howling wilder nessinto a bloom- ing garden, not by rich men, but by the poor and the ignorant. It was not the Dicksons and the Boultons, the Talbots and the Pillingtons who cut down the trees, but ned t he brush and started the plough. The rich men bought or stole—in any case theyac- quired—large tracts of land in Canada, and then they stood off waiting for the labor of poor men to make it valuable. The McGillivrays and the Ellices used a part of the money they had made in the Hudson Bay fur trade to launch the Canada Company, which has been taking toll from Canada's workers for three quarters of a century. Other rich men grabbed land by thousands of acres—sometimes a whole township at one swoop—on the main lines of travel, or in the vicinity of town sites, thus making it hard for poor. working farmers to pet to market. Real Gour- lay's desctiption of the wilderness around Toronto, in 1820, and of the state of the road between Toronto and Kingston. Consult any old man who located in the Huron .ract half a cen- tury ago. The greatest hardship the real developers of Canada had to con- tend with was to shake the rich fellows off their backs. Peter Robinson's set- tlers inPeterborough were poor enough and they brought their old -country factions to Canada with them. The Cavan blazers in Durham were as fond of a fight, as the Wallace lambs in Perth, Their wives made butter that would not fetch a high price in ary market, and the men farmed in a rude and shiftless way, with poor tools. But they cleared the c.iuntry, and who would dare throw a stone at their de- scendants in this generation? Provi- ded the Galician settlers in the North- west are not surrounded with railway companies' and spectators' reserves of of land, they will be civilized and rich in less than half the time it took to change the Irish a d Scotch immi- grants into thrifty Canadians, Land and labor can worry along without much capital to begin with. The poor, ,and not the rich, make a country great. The Official Programme issued by the Western Fair Association this year is the best yet published. The work comprises 52 pages, with ohromo cover, and inside printed on fine book paper. It contains useful information for visitors and a num- ber of illustrations showing the prinoipal attraotione, also advertisements of some of the leading business houses appear in its pages. An excellent map of Weetesn . On- tario, in color, is also given. The book is in keeping with this old and reliable u -te- datefair. In the number and quality of the exhibits and the attractions to be presented the Silver Jubilee Exhibition will far ex- ceed the excellent exhibits of former years. Our Ottawa Letter (Special correspondenoe of the NEW ERA) (Intended for last week.) Ottawa, August 20.—We oan understand the natural chagrin of extreme Conserva- tive partisans at the unqualified success of the efforts of the Liberal administration to give practical effect to the long existing de. sire for closer union with the Empire, more particularly as shown in the adoption of Preferential Trade and Imperial penny 1 ostage, bet we oannot understand why they persist in making themselves the laughing stook of the community. The "I, William Mulook," incident of a year ago was ocueidered by those who could not look very far ahead a most excellent joke, but as a matter of faot the amount of at- tention which the persistent attempts at ridicule drew to the Postmaster General and his project, had the exact objeot whiob he desired of making the country and the Imperial authorities so familiar with the idea that when he went to London thio summer to olinoh the matter it was com- paratively plain sailing. Then again at the manner in which a large number of the opponents of the Gov- ernment persist in their attempts to "guy" Preferential trade is funny. Only this week the Mail & Empire treated its readers to a column leading article to demonstrate that"the policy of the Liberal Government is only one of drift from Great Britain to- wards the United States. It is designed to keep British and Canadian interests asun. der and to bring Canadian and United States interests in closer touuh." . Almost the same day that this oracular utteranoe appeared there was published a copy of a cable sent by Sir Howard Vincent, M P., on behalf of the United Empire Trade League•to Bir Wilfrid Laurier expressing "the undying gratitude of the British race of today and forever to thtrr brothers throughout the vast Dominion for their patriotic and filial inauguration of Prefer- ential trade between British kith and kin," adding "may this Preferential trade grow and grow into the complete commercial federation of the British peoples and pos• sessions the whole world over." Evident- ly the point of view makes all the differ- ence. A SAMPLE OF ACCURACY. The sensational yarns originated by dib• contented American miners at Dawson and industriously cupied from American news- papers by Conservative journals through- out the Daminion oontinue to appear with monotonous regularity. In view of the faot that thorough investigation will be institu- ted by the Government it is not worth while to occupy space to discuss it further here. That the alleged facts are absolutely unreliable in the abeenoe of testimony from responsible parties, may be judged from one sample statement copied in the Mail Jr Empire reoently.from the Seattle Post In- telligencer, where it is stated that Major Walsh has had the power to remit royal- ties on gold taken out of Klondike claims and that he has been exercising that power. MajorWalsh has absolutely no such power; the regulation requiring the collections of 10 per oent. royalty is as definite as all the other regulations, and is being administer- ed without qualification by the officials to the best of their ability. ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME. Another all•'gation squally without any shadow of foundation is that Major Walsh has resigned because he is sick and tired of the widespread corruption and general dif- ficulties of his position. While this state- ment may have originated in the honest ignorance of those who started it, it is now well understood that the Major only accept- ed his commission for a year. Adminis- trator Ogilaie had been practically selected as his successor long before he went to England, and tha present reorganization of the governmental machinery is simply a carrying out of the general scheme which has been gradually formulated by the Min- ister of the Interior• as he has become in- formed of the requirement ot the case. 6o far, however, the Conservative press, that has so industriously circulated the mis• leading stories before referred to, have failed to rise to the requirements of honest journalism by correcting the error into which they have fallen. FOOLISH OF HUGH JOHN. If Mr. Hugh John Macdonald ever hopes to occupy his dietinguisbed father's place in the estimation of the Canadian people ho will have to exhibit more of the tact that was so characteristic of the old Chief- tain. There was a time when -it appeared as if he appreciated Abe fact and was en- deavoring to cultivate the suavity for which Sir John A. Macdonald was noted, but his recent exhibition of personal feeling in re- fusing to preside at the banquet given by the Manitoba Club, of which he was presi- dent, to the Governor General,was a break that has attracted considerable notice., We don't suppose it bothered Lord Aberdeen to any extent, but it has caused no little an- noyance to Hugh John's political friends. Distributing legal advice and services grat- uitously among those from whom he hopes to receive future favors is all very well, but it will not take the place of the ordinary amenities of public life. GOOD IMMIGRATION WORK The report which Mr. Pedley, Superin- tendent of Immigration, makes of his trip of inepeetion to the United States agencies is decidedly gratifying. The interest throughout the North Western States in the Canadian North Wept is rapidly in- creasing, and the agencies terou,hont that district have had an excellent season's bus. iness. Mr.Pedley found abundant evidence of the splendid impression made upon the newspaper men, who have just r•e:urned from an extended tended tri Ptaken a1 the au,_es _ tion of the Minister of the Interior and under the guidance of the representatives of the Government. Nearly every paper throughout that vast agricultural dietriot is publishing from week to week most glor- ious accounts of the resources and oppor- tunitiesof the Dominion. He also found that the Canadian exhibit at Omaha was doing us an immense amount of good. PROVINCIAL POLITICS Provincial politioe are absorbing atten• tion in Ontario just now, all interest being centred in Toronto. The debate on the address has considerably oleared the at- mospbero and the policy of the Govern- ment is now before the country in blank and white. It differs in no material point from that outlined in the discussion that has been ooinpying so large an amount of spade in the press for the last month, and there is practically no question that an- other month will see the new legislation upon the statute book and the House ad- journed until the new year. Provincial affairs in British Columbia are also occupyinga very large amount of public attention and the kaleidoscopic changes from day to day are at this die. tense quite bewildering. The one point that certainly appears settled is that the late administration has definitely dropped out of existence, and that the af1`aire of the Province will, for the next Parliamentary term, be in the hands of new, though not untried men, whose part record for pro- grese and knetvledge of affairs ie an excel. lent certificate for the future of the Paoiffo Province. Crisp County Clippings Wm. Grainger, of Hallett. had three c Lives killed by lightning during the storm on Tuesday night. The Goderich municipal finance com- mittee has decided to recommend to - the the u nil that a rates ot 25 mills on the dollar be levied again this year. Mr A. J. McCall, who has just been appointed Chief Justice of British Culuuibia, is an old Huronite. He practiced law for a time at Brussels and afterwards at Goderich. There died at his residence on Jose- phine St , Wingham, on Friday even tng, Mr John Wellwood, who has been in a very low condition for a number of weeks. Deceased has been a resi- dent of that town for a number of years, and was held in high esteem by a large circle f friends. The death of Thomas Wallace, of Donnybrook, took place on Tuesday of last week. His remains were interred in the W inghatn cemetery and a large host of friends attended the funeral. He was a very successful farmer, being the owner of a 200 -acre farm. Perhaps the largest crop of oats ever raised in Ashtleld was this year raised on nine • acres on the farm of John Hutchison, on the 8th con. Forty, fifty and sixty bushels to the acre have heretofore been looked upon as record breakers, but Hutcbison's caps the climax with over ninety bushels per acre. On Sunday evening, Aug. 21. Rev. T. E. Higley preached his farewell sermon in Trinity church, the edifice being crowded to the doors by many of the citizens of Blyth and neighbor- hood, who were eager to hear the fare- well words of one who was untiring in his labors for the cause of God. List Sunday Mr Higley commenced his work at Blenheim. The many friends of Mr Wm. Milk- er, West Wawanosh, ate sorry to hear that he is not recovering from his ill- ness. He has been confined to his bed for the pest three weeks and it is fear- en that his age is against him, he be- ing St years old. He is one of Huron's pioneers. ha"ing settled in %Vest Wa- wanosh 45 years ago. He has always been a strong healthy roan. 0,1e of the oldest pioneers of Turn - berry passed away to the great beyond on Saturday, Aug. 6th, in the person of John Wilson, at the ripe old age of 78 years and 7 months. Deceased was a native of Berickshire, Scotland, and came to,Lhis country when I1 years of age and lived in Montreal for some time, where he was married. He then came to Turnberry, And lived there for over 40 years. He and his wife had lived together for upwards of 50 years. Messrs Asbury and Pullen, of the D.lminion B talk, Seaforth, are estab fishing for themselves quite a reputa- tion as pedestrians. On Saturday last they walked from St. Joseph to Grand Bend, and on Sunday they walked from Grand Bend to Hayfield. After resting a while there, Mr Pullen start- ed Seaforth, via Clinton, and got there in good form early in the evening, making a walk of about thirty-five mires in a day. Mr C. Prouty, Clerk of the township of Stephen, is 81 years old, and is pro- bably the most active of his age in the county. Notwithstanding this great age and being somewhat indisposed last week he started out in his official capacity and drove 167 miles and ser- ved 240 papers in three and a half days. We question whether many of the younger men of to -day at twenty would perform the same task in so short a time. Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mrs Daniel Man- ley, of McKillop, the wife of Deputy - Reeve Manley, which took place on the 13th inst. Mrs Manley was quite a young woman, being only 27 years of age. She was a daughter of Mr Leeman, of McKillop. She was a most estimable woman, who was greatly be- loved and respected by all who knew her. Her death is a severe bereave- ment ,Her her respected husband and family. • Mr Thomas McKay, of Kippen, has, for the past week, been nursing a sprained leg, the effects of a straw stack falling over while Mr McKay, with others, was assisting at a thresh. ing at Mr A. Montieth's. Mr McKay was one of the four on the stack,which was well tip, when to their great sur- prise, the stack tumbled over, landing all on mother earth. It looked a little serious for a few moments, as it was thought some of the company was likely to be smothered in the straw. On Wednesday afternodn of last week the residence of Mr and Mrs R. James, of East Wawanosh, was the scene of a very happy event, the oc• casion being the marriage of their daughter, Miss Annie; to Mr W. Ben- nington, of Cleveland, Ohio. The ceremony was performed in the pres- ence of a number of the immediate relatives and friends of the contract- ing parties by Rev. Dr. Pascoe, pastor of Wingham Methodist church. on the lawn, under an arch which was beauti- fully decked with flowers. The brides- maid was Mies Katie Phillippa, of Teeswater. The groom was assisted by Mr George James, of Cleveland. The bride was the recipient of a large number of very handsome and costly presents, The happy young couple will spend a few days visiting among relatives and friends, after which they will take up their residence in Cleve- land. We very deeply regret this week to chronicle the death of Mr Bernard Shirray, second eldest adn of the late Mr Nicol Shirray, of Hay, which sad event occurred at the family home, near Heneall, on Tuesday, about noon, and after only a week's illness. The depeased was a young man in the very prime of life, being $1 years of age, and was .most highly esteemed for many excellent qualities, and was the hope and main stay of hie widowed 'mother and the refit of the family, he being the eldest son at home. Only a little over a week ago he was in the full enjoyment of health, and took a trip up to Goderich to spend a day or so there. Returning home he at onee entered upon his work as usual, and although feeling a little nnwell in the evening of the day he returned, after a busy day's,work be did not feel himself at all seriously ill,but before the morn- ing of the following day he was at- tacked with acute inflammation of the bowels. The "Nen* Ern will be sent to new subscribe I ere, for the balance of tiro year, for 26 cents* R Pair, Square Transaction. The Conservative newspaper editors are filling their columns with jocular or sneering references to the fact that Mr Daniel McGillicuddy, llicuddy, proprietor of the Huron Signal, has received a con- tract on the new harbor works at God- erich. Their attitude is ungenerous. They might profit by the example set them by Liberal editors when the Con- servatives were in power at Ottawa. In those days, when a Conservative editor received some consideration at the hands of the Government, the Lib- eral papers did not sneer at him. Journalistic ct,urtesy restrained them from calling any more attention to the matter than was necessary in the pub- lic interest. It is not suggested that journalistic courtesy should go the length of spar- ing Mr McGillicuddy,, if he had done anything wrong, or if he had become implicated in a questionable transac- tion. But he has done nothing wrong. There is no evidence that he even used his political influence to secure the contract. He tendered with many others, of all shades of politics, and won the prize in straight competition, if prize it be. And this is not the only point on which the funny men of the Conserva- tive papers are astray. They are con- stantly jibing at the Huron editor's dredging plant. They seem to be ig- norant of the fact that the contract in question is not a dredging contract at all. What Mr' McGillicuddy is to do is to build a breakwater. For this pur- pose he has associated with him a prac- tical contractor, and there is every ap- parent guarantee that the work will be well done. In view of all l:he facts, itis plain that there is no earthly reas- on why Mr McGillicuddy should not turn contractor. In doing so, he is not more remarkable than were one set of his critics when they annexed a tea-shop to their journalistic enterprise. —Toronto Star. POSTAGE.—The reduction in domes- tic postage from 3 cents to two cents will take effect on November 9th, sim- ultanoeus with the inauguration of Im- perial penny postage. The matter has not yet been officially decided upon, but it is understood that Mr Mulock is hastening his return to Canada in or- der to prepare for the change. His col- leagues here are convinced that domes- tic postage cannot be maintained at 3 cents while the imperial rate is two. With the cut in domestic postage the rate to the United States will also come down to two cents.
