A petition is being signed by the, Liberals in East Huron requesting Mr, Hislop to retire from the seat he has hardly yet warmed in favor of Hon. John Dryden, who was rejected in his own Riding of Ontario South. It is re- freshing to know that the honorable gentleman's conscience has at last got to work and convinced him that a portfolio without a seat in the House is contrary to both precedent and the constitution. But Mr. Dryden, with all the prestige of a Minister of the Crown, will not take any risk, so has taken the precaution to contest a Grit hive. Canny Mr. Dryden. But what about East Huron? Will it be honored in having as its representative the rejected of Ontario South? As for Mr. Hislip. In peacefully resigning what he caballed for, has he secured a cinch upon some- thing of more material benefit? This query is quite natural, no living Grit politician having been known to give up the substance for the shadow. Among the Canadians who on the Queen's birthday were decorated with a title was Speaker Edgar of the House of Commons. Sir James' knighthood s a tardy recognition of his genius as song writer, for was it not his gifted pen that once upon a time set the nation all agog by the stirring lines of On-tay;re-o. For so distinguished a service the K. C. M. G. is but an inade- quate reward. This'Spano-American game of hide and seek is dignified by the name of war and the rumors and repetitions which the daily press has had. to in- dulge in to maintain the interest of the public has become monotonous in the extreme, But in the meantime the great America people is getting an expensive eye-opener and is just now beginning to realize what a poor sec- ond fiddle it would play in a concert of the European powers. Brother Jona- than will emerge from this war with a big debt and a bigger pension list, fewer privates but more colonels and majors, a precedent for a larger stand- ing army, which will please the capi- talists, and an immense naval expendi- ture which it will have to maintain. Will the Isles of Cuba and the Phili- p shall it o lues even P up the account, come to pass that your Uncle Sam may have abundant cause to regret having cast the halo of patriotism about the Cuban guerillas ? w Great Britain is the only friend the United states has at this juncture and that there has been no interference by the European powers is due to the in- fluence of the tight little isle. Britain's friendship is practical and virtuous, a heaping of coals of kindness, hut will it. give peace to the soul of.h tail -t ester or soothe the rav- ings ta\v ings of the jingo ? Let us hope so, hut at the same time not forget that the groat unwashed rule across the border and that the genuine American is not a powerful factor in his own country. Circular Town Topics. . GODERIchr, June 2nd.—Miss,A. Win- nifrede Ball, of the Crediton Public school, has been appointed to the staff of the Exeter school and will corn- ' rrence her duties on Sept. 1st. A number of new seats have been placed in the .Harbor Park. The organ and bicycle factories have been extremely busy the past few weeks. The G. T. R. track at the harbor has been moved several feet south of its old position. Regular meeting of the town council to -morrow, Friday, evening. The intake pipe is not yet finished but it is expected the diver will be through by Saturday evening, when we shall have the first drink from deep water. The diver and his assistant drew $105 per week for their services, hence the authorities will he pleased when the time conies to hand over the check. Not a had prograrnme. To-dayAbe Marine Band's promenade concert, to- morrow week, the 17th inst., Godfrey's Musical treat, and on Dominion Day a bill of fare so made up as to please everybody. The dredge Arnoldi is taking a rest after cleaning out for the elevator foundation. Perch fishing does not give good re- sults just now. Chas. Blake last week handed the Signal a hunch of rye every stock of which measured over five feet in length. The fruit trees and bushes still look as if they will give the largest gather- ing of the decade. It takes the caretaker of the Court• House square all his time to keep the grass in proper shape, so great has been the growth this season. Farmers around this burg speak hopefully of the season's'prospects. The improvements to the Harbor Park consist of a new hand stand, a cook house for the use of excursionists, the planting of several large trees to give more shade, a new path from the entrance to the harbor "Steps, and a neat entrance made of iron with two large turnstides made of the same material. The chancery division of the High Court of Justice opened on Monday. Mr. Justice Ferguson presiding, The docket contained 7 causes none of which were of unusual interest. Mr. Chas. Lee spent the past two weeks at the old home, Middleton s corners, To -morrow week, the 17th, Godfrey's band will play in the Circular town under the patronage of the Goderich Marine band. This will be the treat, of a life to musicians, lovers of music and rovers of the motherland, Our count jail has but few summer residents. It during the Winter sea- son that this well kept institution is patronized by the tramp fraternity. It was not a bad day in Clinton was the expression often heard nn the car While returning from the Itub on the 24th. The charge against Jno. Baker and Ike Jones, of Goderich township, for assaulting Henry Oakes was heard by P. M. Seager on Friday, and adjourn- ed till to -morrow for the attendance of Baker. The Goderich Elevator Co. started to crib work for the harbor front foundation of the new building last week, and a big scow or barge has been built to work from the harbor end. A large quantity of material for the cribs has been purchased frons the Goderich Lumber Co. The schooner Carisaude came into port on Thursday with 310.11110 feet of umber from Gore Bay for N. Dyinent. There was a good entertainment in Temperance hall on Friday evening for the purchase of raising funds to Pay for the new roof that had jest been put on. The hall was fairly well filled and Miss Acheson sang as sweet- ly as ever. Row boats are now all the go, and as Captain Baxter has a large number of fine boats to rent the harbor is well covered with floating craft. Our streets are now crowded with bicycles these days. Whit -Sunday was a disappointment to those who had new summer suite. There was Holy Communion at 8. a m, at St. Georges oh Whit -Sunday. The fog horn sounded all Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. NV. W. Baer, of Clin- ton, and New York, were visiting in the Circular town last week. One of Miller's horses was frightened on Saturday evening by the S. A. drum, the result being the barking of two chestnut trees and a badly dam- aged vehicle. The Goderich Marine band give a promenade concert in the skating rink this Thursday evening. F. Fair, of Clinton, visited the Circu- lar town the past week. ' A raft of logs is daily expected for the Goderich. Lumber Co. The new flagstaff erected outside the Bank of Commerce building is quite an attraction. Pridham the tailor still keeps the latest news of the war pasted to his window. Mr. J. M. Roberts, of Dungannon, was in Goderich on Saturday. Postmaster Munroe, ,of Auburn, was in the County Town Friday. M. C. Cameron, M. P., was in town the past week. There is only one place where a Do- minion Day vis`:: gives the purest of air, the finest ('i'scenery, good fishing, a select programtne, smooth bicycle roads and the best facilities for boat- ing and sailing parties, and that place is Goderich. The following from the Mail and Empire of a recent date, will be of in- terest to residents of Auburn and Goderich, where one of the contract- ing parties, a brother of Mrs. D. Mc- Gillicuddy of this town, is well-known: 'sf. E. Cassaday, of this city, and Miss Delebere Burrowes, only daughter of the late Col. Thomas Beresford Bur- rowes, of Ottawa, were united in mar- riage last night by Rev. Dr. Langtry, of St. Luke's church. The wedding was very quiet in character, only the intimate friends of the young people interested being present.Cassa- day Mr. r. Cas sa - day was supported by Arnold Bnr- rowes, brother of the bride. The bridesmaid was Miss Classaday, of Ottawa, sister of the groom. Mi. and Mrs. Cassaday will reside at 18 Marl- borough avenue. Alex. McIvor, the representative of the Huron Bicycle Club, Goderich, at the Brantford Meet, took first place in the road race on May 2.lth, leading by about one mile. He rode a Mc- Cready wheel. At the regular meet- ing of the H. B. C. Monday evening Aleck received congratulations. The death of the Grand Old Man of the Empire draws attention to the tact that; Nye have a grand ole] nutu in Gode- rich, the survivor of the quartette of grand old then of 1-1uron.'We refer to Sheriff Gibbons, who without doubt resembles, in facial expression, the Oars we all mourn.

Admission to hall, IOc., re- freshments, etc., extra. Frank Humber's steam yacht was not launched on the 24th, as had been expected, the delay being caused by a long wait for the wheel, but as this part of the equipment arrived on Mon- day the pretty craft will soon be skim- ming o'er Lake Huron. The yacht is 24i feet in length, is cleverly designed and is finished artistically. The prom- inent colors of the hull are red, white and blue, but inside the trimmings are mostly oak, particularly well pcltohed. The wheel is so arranged that one per- son can attend to the -steering and the engine. The owner will use oil, as it is cleaner and cheaper than coal, and .he anticipates that under full steam he will make 12;i miles an hour. Mr. Humber hopes to: launch the yacht this week, and from that day it will be the attraction at the harbor. The Harbor Park is getting "Axed up" that's so, hut it never grows, any larger. The new walk will be immense for the bicycle riders only they roust quite slowly ride, to view Lake Huron's swelling tide, or they would go over the steps ungallant style. If Mahomet cannot come to the mountain, mountain will come to Ma- homet, so we are to see and hear Dan Godfrey and his band of talented musicians. May we give thein a right royal welcome when they (10 corse to serenade Lake Huron. That "Pink Flyer," Alex. Mclvor, who rode at Brantford must be the "Pink of Perfection." Ernerson advertises to send bicycle messengers to any part with parcels, at the rate of five cents per mile. It would make strawberries pretty dear to carry them down to Clinton, or Vice Versa. Mr. and Mrs. Swartz visited their sons, Messrs. Swartz last week. Our town is growing Cityward, The Mail was late on the afternoon of the Queen's Birthday and such a crowd en- tered the post office when it opened that everybody thought that very few had left town.

At the dock, they were busy dis- mantling some long -used fish shanties which did not wake a visit to the lake very pleasant but progress is in the air and the Mooers' elevator must have a larger field of ground that its prede- cessor. Long live the Mooers. Now that the Tobacco Prohibition- ists are enacting stiugent laws, they had better keep an eye on the little boys who purchase tobacco and cigar- ette weekly, the purchases being hand- ed out as tea or candies. In Mr. McKernighan's letter to the Witness which appeared in one of our last week's locals he says "\Vliat have the churches 1 should like to know, to do with the prohibition of the importa- tion, manufacture and sale of spirits, wines, ale, beer, cider and all other alcoholic liquors. It is not a religious question at all ; it is not even a moral question, it is simply a question of political economy, or municipal legis- lation," He aright as well aver that the keeping from evil compauy, was not a religious or moral question. What is the church for any way if it be not to offer our hearts to God in purity of spirit. And the ministers are send, to encourage us to keep our hearts pure in God's sight. Sallows had three fine portraits in his art window on Satin day night, notably of ex-Shet iff Gibbons and the late Judge Toms and Mr. Hutchison. Our photographers are indefatigable in trying to improve their art. Engineer Miller, we aro sorry to note, was confined to bed again last week. His rheumatism seems to be inflamma- tory, Stanley.

McConnell and daughter, of Becton, are visiting at the residence of her son Front Road. Mrs, W. Clark, Sr., spent a few days in Varna the past week. Where is That Knighthood 2 . Mr. Greenway will have good reason to complain should the promised knighthood fail to turn up. Everybody else who was connected with the Man- itoba school agitation has 'made eon1e- thing out of it ; and if Sir Wilfrid 'Laurier has really broken his solemn promise to get Mr. Greenway the K. U.M.G,, the outrage will be doubly un - for tamale. First, there will he another breach of faith on record, and second- ly, we shall all be impressed by the fact•that"Mr. Greenway is the subject of a direct, an unjust, an inexcusable : .:1. scrrinlutttt(> n. It is interesting to note how the school agitators have fared so far, and what the country is paying for the game they played. The Toronto Glole has done well. It secured for its friends the biggest allowance that was made as a reward for agitation. A huge Klock of coal lands had been vote3 by the British Columbia Legis- lature for 0 railway through the Crow's Nest pass. These lands passed to the friends of the organ, and the Ottawa Government confirmed the di veteiht) of the land subsidy from the 'object for which it was intended and sul)stitu„ed for it $;2,000,000 of the money of the people of Canada. \Vhat, is a mere two millions of dollars swiped out of the public chest to -day?, It is a bagatelle. Mr. Tarte has reach- ed the summit of his ambition. He is at the head of a great spending de- partment, because lie shouted for Sep- arate schools, Mr. Mulock is in the Post -office Department owing to his Y.P.A. ailiance and his opposition' to these schools. Through hint Mr. John Shields has a $30,1100 mail -carrying contract in the west, while Alf. Jury is disporting himself in England as au emigration lecturer'. Mr. Charles Devlin campaigned for Separate schools thronghout Quebec, and de- scribed the Protestants as bigots and what not. A place has been created for hien as emigration regent in Dub- lin. Dublin in a comfortable city to live in, and the large salary, with nothing particular to do, ought to be a sufficient remuneration for the work he did, Mr. E. C. Wade, of Winnipeg, was employed to write pamphlets dur- ing the contest against Rolnar, Catho- lics. He claimed that they were ignor- ant and criminal. The Manitoba Gov- ernment paid for the pamphlets. But Mr. Sifton was not satisfied with this remuneration. He gave Mr. Wade charge of some of the ballot -stuffing cases, thus rewarding him again ; and now Mr. Wade is under salary in the Yukon district. as a Crown prosecutor. Gustave Drolet took the pro -Catholic side—in Quebec of course. He has been awarded licenses to dredge for ggold on the Saskatchewan. Clifford Sifton was the other way round. He would not tolerate anything but out- and-out Public schools, until he had within reach some material considera- tion inducing him to change his views. His distinguished services in the agita- tion are recognized, and he has a port- folio, carrying with it patronage suffi- cient to make all his relatives and friends, social and political, wealthy at the public charge. Mr. Prendergast, of Winnipeg, was opposed to Sifton in his agitation. When, however, Sif- ton sold out for a portfolio, with its etceter as, Mr. Prendergast was brought down to Montreal to say to the Que- bec people that the terms were suitable to his co -religionists. For this ser- vice' Mr. Prendergast has been created a judge. These are but a few of the prizes that, have been given. Some day, when the list is complete, we shall all see more clearly how the patriots appeared to divide on principle, but speedily unit- ed to thrive upon plunder. Meanwhile, although the various agitators are get- ting their shnre—sinecures, coal lands, contracts, or money --Mr. Greenway Is not supplied. His reward for squeezing the Ronan Catholics, and fgr loosen- ing the clamps after Sir Wilfrid got in, was to have been a K.C.M,G. Where is it? --Mail and Empire. At Ottawa Edgar Eagleson, nineteen years old, was drowned in the Y.M.C. A. plunge bath, and a lad narnecl Ho- gan was drowned in the riyer. Captain Ferguson, A.D.C. to Lord Seymour, who succeeds Lieutenant - General Montgomery Moore in com- mand of the Imperial forces in British North America, has arrived at Mont- real. The three-year-old son of Ald. Cooke Kingston, was badly burned and is not expected to recover. One hundred children Were hurt by the collapse of a grand stand at Den- ver. Oakes Committed for Trial. Geo. F. Oakes, who assaulted John' Baker on May 21st and then disappear- ed, returned to town Thursday last when he was promptly arrested by Chief Wheatley. The trial took place the following afternoon in the council cham- ber which, commodious though it „je, was not large enough to comfortably con, tain the large crowd which sought to hear the proceedings. The case was tried before Magistrates Holmes and McUar•va and resulted iu the committal .ot• Oakes, who is now out on bail. Bar- risters Proudfoot and bolt appeared for the prosecution and defence, respective- ly. Owing to the interest taken in this affair we give a resume of the evidence. Jas. Twitchell:—Know George F. Oakes. He was in my store Saturday last. Ile came for a whip. IIe said he wanted it for another man and would see. Lie took the whip shown away from my store, In about fifteen min- utes he brought the whip back and went off. The inside of whip is oak. To Mr. Bolt :—He bought the whip if it would suit. Mrs, Jefferson :—Was in my work- room about 12.30 o'clock and saw Mr. Oakes step into 1)r. Blackall's. Saw him hold a whip behind his back and drew my sister's attention to it. Just then Mr. Baker stepped out of the office and Mr. Oakes spoke to him and raised the whip and struck him. Mr. Baker staggered. I then went to the door. I think he struck him once, but I was too nervous to notice much. I ran into next door for R: Baker. When I came out Baker was on the street try- ing to find Wheatley's door. IIe was cut and bleeding. The whip shown looks like the one Oakes had. It seem- ed a vicious attack. '1'o Mr, Holt :- Oakes was between Baker and I when the blow was struck. Baker did not seem to resist. Thought Oakes struck twice. Oakes had hold of butt end of whip. Miss Hillier :--My sister called my attention to Mr. Oakes and asked me what he had in his hand. I said it look- ed like a whip and just then he raised it and struck :lir. Baker. I could almost swear he struok him twice. The blows were vicious enough to make me ner- vous. Saw Mr. Baker fall on the floor. When we got to the door he was stand- ing again and ?Ir. Oakes seemed to knock his head against the stairway. We both ran into _lir. Blake's and told the men there. When we camp out Mr. Baker was farther up the street and seemed to be hunting for the floor knob, \Jt'. Oakes had blood on his hand and said Mr. Baker had more of his brother's blood on his hands than he (Oakes) had of Mr. Baker's, '1'o Mr. holt :—Saw Oakes raise the whip but as lie was standing between Baker and I could not see the first blow strike Baker, IIe lied hold of the butt end of the whip. He struck twice. The second blow I saw struck, Saw blood on B'aker's face and cheek. To Mr. Proudfoot:—It was after the second blow that Baker fell, That was the blow I saw. Mise McNichol: —All I saw was Mr. Oakes come out of the barn with a whip behind his back. Saw Mr. Baker, The blood was running down both sides of his face.. He seemed to stagger and was caught. Richard Baker :—John Baker is 64 years of age. I was in the bake shop and my attention was drawn by Mrs..Jeffer- son next door. I went right over. Saw some scuffling on the floor but could not at first make out what it was for dust. Baker cane out of barn first, followed by Oakes. There was bloq,d all over his face and he staggered up the street feeling the doors. Stood listening tip Mr. Oakes for a moment, He saidy "I'm the man that did it. I bought this whip for the purpose. Now, I'm pre, pared for anything, the law or anything else," There was blood on his hand, Mr. Baker was sitting on Mr. Scott's stairway bleeding a little on floor. Dr. Gunn was sent for and attended to him. We took :1Ir. Baker over to Mr. Blake's and put Trim to bed IIe seemed very weak and oomplainec} of pains in his leg. IIe wanted to go home that even- ing but was not able. To Mr. Holt:—When half way across the street saw Baker getting up from the floor. Baker went home Sunday i he wanted to go Saterrlsy but the Dr, said he shouldn't. Dr. Gunn :—Was called to see John Baker last Saturday. I found him sit- ting on the steps at Mr. Scott's office. On his head I found two wounds above the region of ears. These wounds were about three inches in length. There was no abrasion of surface but constdeese. able swelling. Had the appearance of being produced by small end of whip stock. I found wound on right ear and on hone behind ear. I found two lacer- ated wounds in region of temple. Ho had wound on lip and one of his teeth was broken. His mouth was bleeding. Slight woands on cheek bones. Baker was dazed. Dressed his wounds end advised him to keep quiet for some time and to keep ice about his head as a precaution. Did not think it safe for him to go home that evening. Am in hopes there will be no permanent in- jury. Co Mr. holt:—Don't anticipate any- thing serious. Saw Baker on the 24th when he was considerably on the mend. The wounds on forehead were not caused by same end of whip as those on head. Think blows on temple were not caused by fist. This finished the evidence when Mr. Proudfoot asked that Oakes be commit- ted for trial. Mr. Holt, on the other bend, said the charge was merely one of common assault and should be •dealt with by the magistrates. The benoh decided that the evidence was suffi- cient and sent Oakes up for trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction. Bail was aooepted in the sum of $650, the prisoner $250 and two sureties $200 each, CLINTON MARKET REPORTS. Ienrroctod every wednaadav attsrnaon.)

SIR,—Allow me space ,n your paper to sound a few warning notes in re- gard to the Stavely Memorial Hall. It has been said that the matter of tearing down and rebuilding the un - bonded walls which wore built last fall has been settled by an experienced party pronouncing theta all right. New, Sir, any mechanic that reports said walls sound and capable of carry- ing the pressed brick structure which will soon be placed upon them, does not either know or care what he re- ports upon. I hope that the Commit- tee in charge will not he hood -winked and have the wool pulled over their eyes as to allow such a fine structure to be built 00 such a rotten foundation. I might say through curiosity I ex- amined and sounded the walls and I claim to be a judge of masonry, having 23 years experience, and say here, fear- less of contradiction, that the mortar has not taken a proper bond. On ac- count of being built too late in the sea- son, the stones are as if they were lying in a sandbank and are rotten to the core. Let a Committee of (3 or 8 goof masons sound the walls and I guaran- tee that of the number will be of the same opinion as I ani. Ot' let the Com= luittee tear down a tew perches and he convinced. Compare the mortar with the mortar in the stone \vans under Frank Powell's butcher 811(11) which I had charge of building a month or two earlier in the season. I wish to be distinctly understood that 1 find no fault with the contractor or builder's, or materi,pl used. The whole trouble was the frost freezing the nlor•tar be- fore it set properly and springing the wails, SO thea it would not he wise or safe to erect the structure . without re- building. I would suggest that the Committee have the walls taken dowil and removed to either one of the other sites which can be agreed upon. I be- lieve this opinion will he bricked up by / of the ratepayers. There is no use beating round the bush in the matter. 1 have no axe to grind, only like other ratepayer's, having the town's future welfare at heart. Yours Truly, A.
