The Huron News-Re.,ora THURSDAY, JANUARY 2,0111, 1808. 4 cipal elections ou 'New Year's Pay owing to the interruption of business by the present system. The re- quest was quite reasonable and the only class to oppose the petition was thn saloon keepers of the city who would thus have to close their bars. As New Year's is a big day with them they naturally objected to the loss of revenue which must ensue if the change was made. The weight ot public opinion was for the closed saloon, but the Hardy Government did not oppose the wide-open bar and accordingly wide-open it will remain for the promotion of good resolutions on New Year's Day. Does Premier Hardy suppose he has the Temperance vote so sd•lid that he can thus cater to the opposing element? And is it only too true that the saJoonists are contributing to his campaign fund ? '1'he bill iutrodueed by Premier Hardy to amend the Lord's Day Act along the lines asks for by the Lord's Day Alliance peopi was withdrawn by the Government in consequence of the opposition of a arge • delegation which waited upon it when the pro- visions of the Bill became known. Mr. Hardy's confession before the antis that he did not know how com- prehensive his Measure was must have been humiliating tit such an old Par- liamentarian. The ivithdrawal of the Bill is a decided and disappointing set- back to the Alliance which had been deluded into expecting favorable legis- lation from the present Government. µ The report of the committee ap- pointed to enquire into the Sehoot Book djue,;tion was brought into the Legis- lature in the last hours of the session so wits of practically no use so far as the house was concerned. The com- mittee did it s work very quietly, in- deed; the public scarce knew of its existence and the nature of the report indicates quite clearly that the whole affair has been engineered for cam- paign purposes. It dues not disprove the contention that the heads of families of this province have been systematically robbed for'tars for the benefit of a few Grit authors and pub- lishers in Toronto who have accumu- lated fortunes much more rapidly than hose .not equally fortunate in being in high favor with the Minister of Educa- tion. Not only has the cost of the hooks been excessive, but t e frequent changes have been o t dditional bnrdep. This has been a very well for Ross' pets, but it is a time . they were deprived of their rich pickings. ONE TILING A'ND ANOTHER. That foretnost French Liberal, Mr. Francois Langelier, has resigned his seat in Parliament to accept a judge- ship. This is the gentleman who sat in the House two sessions with a Laurier profnissory note in his pocket for the Lieutenant -Governorship. It is needless to say that Francois did not cast, any Conservative votes during his anxious. period of ivaitin •, but his tender conscience will now be soothed and at rest. What matters it to Francois or Sir Wilfrid lhat both have been violating the principle of Par•lia- nientar•y 'independence for which they contended with all their voluble French eloquence while in Opposition. The Ontario Liberals, too, who have ',eeri denouncing what they claimed sere violations of this article of their -reed for the past score of years; are they Opposing the deal? Not by any means, for at least a dozen of thein are waiting for an opportunity of a like nature. It might not be necessary to go out of Huron for just as hungry a Liberal patriot as Francois himself. • Mr. Israel Tarte still remains in the Cabinet though a fortnight since he offered to retire if three Quebec Liber- al M.P's world sign 'a.. request to that effect. How quickly he was taken nt his word shows how popular he is with the best element of the party in his own province, for not alone three but twenty-one signatures were secured in a trice. But the delectable Israel does not respond to this answer to his bluff. Giving up a good thing is not: the Tarte way of doing business and the Minister of Public Works wants to he on the ground floor when the proposed big railway deals to benefit Quebec, and incidently himself, come up in Parliament at next session. Judging' from the past there may he something rich in them for Mr. Tarte's sons. What fortunate boys to pos- sess a dad with a pull. M Y "Business is Business" with the Min- ister of Public Works who has pur- chased a $30,000 electric apparatus for the Parliament Buildings from an American flrm without giving the Canadian industries an opportunity of tendering. This 18 so unfair and unpatriotic that it is not to be wonder- ed 'at that a howl of indignation has gone up from the Canadian companies who have protested, but in vain, against the action. Canada for Cana- dians, indeed! The Minister of Public Works gives no encouragement to the pretty sentiment. The City of Toronto asked for legie- latitfii empowering it to hold its muni-) t * r The Legislature was prorogued Mon- day and dissolution is 'expected any day. The campaign may. now be con- sidered open for the big guns on beth sides have already taken the stump. The fight will he sharp, short and, it is expected, decisive. On the Liberal side there is the absence of that enthusiasm which characterized the party when Mowat led the hosts to victory. Hardy does not fill the "Little. Premier's" shoes ; he cannot command to anything like, the same extent the confidence and respect en- tertained for his predecessor. N " Mr, Gibson, who for so many years represented East Huron, is now prac- tically out of public life, the proroga- tion of the Legislature inarking his exit. He was the Father of the House, the oldest member in point of years and service. He is a staunch Liberal, but at bines rose above party and denounced the Government for dereliction of duty. Mr. Gibson found occasion to do so during the past session, notably when Hardy threw overboard the Lord's Day Alli- ance Bill. r * x The Liberals concede that Eilber will Sweep South Huron. Carrow pleading in defence of the Piggery is a spectacle for the gods, Whitney Will Win. Breaks the Record. The closing session of the present legislative teras is a record -breaker in the matter of financial obligatione. Here are the figures :- Ordinary estimates 18,897,807 Supplementary estimates.. . 240,000 liLtiwoy subsidies 620,000 Annuities and railway certifi- cates . 221,688 $4,878,908 Estimated revenue 8, 818,872 Deficit $1,006,681 The new railway subsidies will not come out of the current revenue, but will be added to the debt. So, indeed, will the entire million to which the province is pledged in ex; cess of its income. This is a pretty heavy mortgage to lay upon Ontario. Those among us who vote for the Hardy Government in the coining election will certainly vote also for direct taxation. East Wawanosh We are glad to learn that Miss Lizzie Reid, who has bad a rather severe at- tack of illness, is recovering. Two daughters of Mr. Grigg are at present ill of scarlet fever. Mr. Chas. Campbell is suffering from la grippe. Evening services will be held in Bel - grave Presbyterian church on Sunday evenings in place of the Christian En- deavor which will .. meet in connection with the prayer meeting on Wednes- day evenings.

The many friends of the family will regret the unexpected death of Mrs. Gibson (nee Thompson) wife ot Mr. J. W. Gibson, of the Huron Road, and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson. Early last week she caught cold and on Friday pneumonia and inflammation developed, and de- spite every care and best medical skill she died on Wednesday. The funeral took place from the familyresidence, Goderich township, on Fiday after- noon and was largely attended, the de- ceased's four brothers being pall -bear- ers, and Rev. J. A. Anderson conduct- ing the funeral service. On Thursday evening Victoria Opera House was crowded to the doors, the occasion being the annual Chrtsttnas 'free and anter tainment of St. George's Sunday school. The rector, Rev. Mark Turnbull, made a short opening address and. then Mr. Edward Heaton assuniedlscontrol and made a, most effi- cient chairman. The opening piece was a carol sweetly sung by the child- ren, little Lottie Murray gave a recita- tion cleverly, a pretty fancy, a ribbon drill by 12 girls was well done, and Miss Dorothy Shannon sang a solo that evoked great applause. Miss Grace Seager gave a recitation with hatch grace and won loud plau- dits, six little girls sang a carol with much taste and sweetness, seven girls and seven boys t :yen danced and wound ribbons around toe May Pole, and a iminber of little ones cleverly carried out a charming "Crowning the May Queen." Terrance Holt, one of our fam- ous tenors, then gave as a solo,'"A Hot Time," and was encored three tithes, Henshaw Murray gave two exceeslingly clever recitations. Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works, worth twice' the money paid for entrance, kept the audience laughing for twenty nonutes and Santa Claus, just from the Klon- dike, brought the Christmas Tree and its hundreds of presents at which the little ones were delighted. Richard II1 this evening in Victoria Hall, will he the treat of the season, as Mr. Griffith, the personator of the hunchback king is,a tragedian of a high merit, and the stage appliances are first-class. A lady of considerable dramatic ability who saw the company in Toronto says that it is composed of first-class actors and actresses, and that its appearance in Goderich will be the greatest treat the lovers of legiti- mat e drama have ever had in- the Cir- cular Town. The following new books were added to the Mechanics' Institute Library last week:-Gissing's Year of Jubilee, Mc- Laren's Auld Lang Syne, Cobbe's Gun Maker of Moscow, Corelle's Barabbas, Parker's Seats of Mighty, Allen's Choir Invisible, Dougall's What Necessity Knows, Whitby's Mary Fenwick, Caine's Christain, Sienkenicz Quo Vade's Victoria Opera House was fairly filled on Monday evening, when the second -of the pleasing entertainments gotten up by the W.C.T.U. in con- nection with the Demorest Medal con- test took place. Thete was one or two variations from the published pro- gramme but the absent ones were ably replaced. The opening piece was at piano solo nicely played by Miss Aus- brook, then Miss R. Tye gave her recitation displaying considerable judgment and dramatic power in its delivery. Miss Kathryn McCall gave a pretty solo sweetly, Mtss Mildred Godwin recited "The Martyred Moth- er" effectively, in fact so effectively as to win .the medal. Miss Whitney followed with a solo, "Pienot calling to Bobette,"'which she rendered with much effect, as her voice seemed to have gained to melody since we last heard her. Wm. Stoddart then sang the "King's Kin" and sang it so well as to win a loud encore. This is the first time we have heard Mr. Stoddart and we cannot understand how so good a singer has been so long hidden in our midst. Miss G. Colborne then gave a temperance address, and her recitation, and her conception and presentation of the difficult piece was excellent. Chas. Edwards sang "Where is Heaven" in his usual able style, and pin t one of the programme was ended. No two commenced with a recitation by Miss Mamie Dickson, who was followed by our sweet Scotch songster, Miss Strachan, who took us through "Edinboro Town" and capti- vated us with her charming vocalism. The audience wished Mtss Strachan to sing again but there was no second appearance. Miss Vivian gave apretty recitation, and then Miss Eva, Acheson sang "Alla Stella Confiidenti," ac- companied by Miss Laura Acheson, violin and Miss Campaigne, piano. Miss Achesons kept up her reputation as the sweet songstress of Huron, and Miss Laura, by her, brilliant violin per- formance, not only won a leading posi- tion in the musical world but delighted all her hearers. The judges' decision was given in favor of Miss Mildred Godwin, and that young lady received the medal from Rey. J. A. Anderson, B. A. Miss Campaigne, Miss Chute, and Miss McCall were most efficient accompanists. 44,779 tons of merchandise were ship - ed by the G. T. Railway from this sta- tion during 1897, and of this amount nearly 24,000 tons consisted df wheat,. oats, barley, hay and peas and the bal- ance, of salt, lumber; furniture, knit- ted goods, leather, fish, boilers, organs piano stools, bath furniture, bicycles and miscellaneous tnatter.

Many of the striking engineers in Great Britain are returning to work. We are called upon this week t' re- cord the death of Edna Myrtle, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Aikens, Wingham, in her eighth year, which took place on Monday last. The child had only been ill a short time with in- flammation of the bowels. The funer- al, which was largely attended, took place to the Wingharn cemetery on Wednesday Inst. The bereaved par- ents and family have the sympathy of the community in their sore affic- tion. On Friday last His Honor, John A. Barron, the new Judge for the county of Perth,•made his first appearance in Mitchell. He drove over from Strat- ford in the morning and was welcomed at the Hicks House by the members of the local bar -Messrs, Dents, Thomp- son and Goodeve and also G. K. Math- eson and W.R. Davis of the Advocate. The court was held in the afternoon and the town hall was filled, a good many who were not interested in the suits for trial attending to see the new Judge. All were most favorably im- pressed with his manner in dealing with the different sults brought before him and his judgments on each case, and were emphatic in expressing the opinion that he was a most fair and square judge, and also with his master- ly way in Bumming up the facts in each cale. What Mowat Contended. In all his campaigns, Sir Oliver Mowat ',Intended for a Government at Toronto independent of Ottawa. If tite Liberals are in power at Ottawa, said Sir Oliver l,y implication, the Conservatives should hold the reins of the Government of Ontario. This pre- vents log -rolling and the sacrifice of the interests of the Province. In a speech delivered at Toronto Sir Oliver said :- ' The occasion is one in which Conser- vatives and Reformers should all unite in order that there inay be here in On- tario a Gover mnent independent of the Government at Ottawa. Conserva - tives may prefer, 1 know a great many of them do, Sir John Macdonald and his policy to Edward Blake and his policy. C am sorry they dv. If they had more light I am sure they would not, and agreat, many Conservatives are discovering that and are acting itc- cordingly, but even those Conserva- tives who believe in• the policy of Sir John Macddinald and prefer the present Dominion Government to any other, niay still unite at this crisis in support- ing an independent Government here, because there are great matters with which we have to deal which absolute- ly require, for the sake of Ontario's in• terests, that the Provincial Govern- ment should be entirely independent, of the Government at Ottawa. Now there are a variety of cases by which we might illustrate the ;mariner in which the Dominion Government have dealt with the Provinces, and show the absolute necessity in the interests of this Province that there should he an independent Government here under no obligations to Sir John Macdonald, and who have a policy entirely Pro- vincial in regard to the territory and Provincial rights. This year began and will end on Saturday. It will have six eclipses, of which only January 7th and Dec. 27th wilt he visible to North America. The Queen's birthday comes on Tues- day, and Dominion day (July 1st) on Friday. Labor day will be on Mon- day, September 5th. Thanksgiving probably Thursday, November 24th.
