IFrom the Montreal Star.) ath of It C. Cam The McGillicuddy of the Huron Sig- nal has his breakwater contract well in hand, but it does not betHlil to have suc- ceeded in shutting all the stormy waves of passion out of the gentle har- bour of Huron Liberalism. Even the exile of M. C. Cameron to Regina did not succeed in doing that. It seems that the Seaforth Expositor, a brother Liberal journal to the Signal, is not entirely pleased to see the Signal man - building breakwaters when presutn- ably he should be lookiug after the party "fences." Then it also seems to fear that "the contract has been given to Mr. McGillicuddy's firm in order to silence a 'kicker' in the Reform ranks," and expresses the opinion that if this be so, 'the transaction will do the Gov- ernment ten times more harm than any individual membet of the party can ever do it good." This would constitute a moderately severe comment from a fellow Grit on the awarding of a Grit contract to a Grit editor in most sections of the country • but it is entirely outclassed by Mr. McGillicuddy's reply. Mr. Me- GIllicuddy learued the gentle art Of personal controversy in the course of a few passages atsannis with the re- tlaulatablts-M.- C. Cameron ; and it is likely that he would be distanced by any gentleman who had not had that advantage. The Signal begins its rejoin- der by remarking that "had that sentence been penned by the meanest and most contemptible opponent of the Government and tha bitterest and most virulent enemy of Mr. McGilli- cuddy, it could not have contained a blacker or baser insinuation against the action of the Crovern meld or the personal reputation of Mr. McG illicnd- dy." Then it proceeds to dub "this Seaforth editor" " a political nonenti- , ty and a millstone to his party." This Seaforth editor happeris to be Mr. M. Y. McLean, ex-M.P.P. for South Huron ; but that does not spare him. The Signal man says that be has been "endeavoring to be as malignant and mendacious as he possibly can he. And he certainly does seem to have wounded the McGillicuddy very deep- ly. He said that he had "stabbed" the Reform party; that he had given "carping arid unnecessary criticism" at a most critical time ; that he had been an office seeker and, "failing to get what he sought, snarled and carp- ed at the leaders of the party." To all this, the Signal replies with the heavi- est artillery. Mr. McLean was beaten in the elections, and the Signal tells him it was because the Government took his (McLean's) advice in place of that of the Signal. Mr. McLean might be expected to retort that there were other Liberal nsembers beaten in the fatuous Ontario elections of last spring besides himself, but the Signal pro- vides against this by remarking that "had the Government heeded the (Sig- nal's) warning, they would not have had so heed a time * * * in other counties at the late Provincial elec- tion." But it is when he comes to the officeieeking charge that Mr. McGilli- cuddy becomes most interesting. Re says: To the first count -being an office -seeker -we plead guilty. After nearly a quarter of a cen- tury's faithful service in the not very remuner- ative business of making politicians out of "no- bodies," or as Kipling says of Sergeant What's - His -Name in "making men out of mud," Mr. MeGillieuddy came to the conclusion that, when an offieo became vacant, he had as much right to it any other man in Huron, and he thinks so Still. At that time Mr. McLean was of similar opinion, and was an applicant for the self -same position. The only difference between - the two men was that McGillicuddy made no DM (Aka Wag vadatitr Whilst McLean put in his application as soon as the registrar was taken ill, and aboutw year be- fore the death of the then incumbent. f wo mistake not, he was the first one on the door- step, waiting for death to step 'Wand give him a lob. The Sigual continues with its com- plimentary biography of this neigh- boring Liberal editor and late Liberal member at consiaerable length, charg- ing, 'in conclusion that, being now out of a job as a member, he has fallen back into the ranks of the office -seek- ers again and hence is in no position to upbraid hi a fellow office -seeker, fel- low Grit and fellow journalist. It certainly is harrowing to the feel, ings and strain upon the English language, when these Huron Liberals fall out over the distribution, of the "spoils." There has been a scarcity of strong language in the entire west ever since Mr. M. C. Cameron and the Mc- Gillicuddy used up so much in their little domestic discussion over the Gov- ernment appointinents in West Huron. And the extracts we have made room for above show that the Signal man has lost none of his command over what it would he impolite to call the "Queen's English,' Still this frank confession of office-seekingi on the part of a gentleman whose business it s to "mould public opinion" -and whose pleasure it is to build breakwaters - will not be un -instructive to the citi- zen with a stake in the country who is watching the effect of sudden power upon these Liberals whose pre-elec- tion professions of purity And high- mindedness are still fresh in the minds of most. Then the candid opinion of one Liberal statesman regarding the motives which govern the course of a neighboring Liberal statesman, will form another. valuable bit of evidence in the consideration of the Liberal character now in progress before the court, of public opinion. Few can know these Liberals as well as they know themselves -though most of us are learning a good deal about them at both a high rate of speed and a high cost -and it is hence of value to the in- vestigator to have "inside opinions" of the personnel ot the ruling party so frankly and vigorously expressed. rich.

Heze- kiatalale, ark Si., was mined in the holy bondsrof matrimony by Rev. Wm. Godwin to Linda, eldest daughter of Mr. Wm. alcelymont, East St. The bride was tastefully arrayed in white lawn, tritnmed with ribbon and lace. The bridesmaids were Miss Maude Hale, sister of the groom, dressed in pale green organdie muslin, trimmed with green watered silk ribbon and white, lace, with drop skirt of dark green, and Miss Edith McOlymont, sister of the bride, prettily dressed in blue muslin, with blue ribbon and white lace trimming, and drop skirt of blue. The groomsmen were Mr. Robert Mc- Clyinont and Mr. John Newell. A delightfot dejeuner was served, after the joioing of hands, to the guests, among whom were :-Miss Nellie King, Detroit; Miss May Mcelymont, Wing - ham; Mrs. Davison and daughter and Mrs. Welsh and son, Lucknow ; Mr. and Mrs. James McOlymont and chil- dren, Stanley, and Mr. and Mrs. Diehl and children of the same place. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tilton Hale were the recipients of many valuable and pretty gifts, including a handsome centre centre table and oak rocker, the gift of the officers and teachers of the Sunday school of Victoria St church, they having been teachers in the Sunday school for some tune. The newly-wed couple left for their home at Guelph on the 2.30 p. in. train, where a reception was given them by the Canoe club, the groorm being a member of that body. Miss Hamilton returned some time ago from a visit to her sister, Mrs. Stewart, of New York, but will not resume her position as caretaker of the Mechanics' Institute until October 1st. Mr. Duff, during her absence, has filled the position in the most praiseworthy manner, keeping books and papers in perfect order. Our millinery openings are a credit to our fair milliners this season. Miss Cameron has just returned from New York with artistic vigor, and keeps always on hand a large assortment of fashionable goods in the millinery line.

Miss Maggie McDonald, daughter of Captain Malcolm McDonald; Quebec St., was one of the passengers on the last, trip of the J. H. Jones to Wiarton from Manitoulin Island. When the J. H. Jones was run into by the,G.N.T. steamer Pacific one of the passengers from Wiarton was a very old lady, and she cried because she was taken ofs board the Pacific without her dress, in the pocket of which lay a $5 bank bill, so with the fearlessness belonging to the sailor one of them reached the Jones in time to save the dress. Mrs. Willie Macara (nee Miss Mona McDermott), after an absence of twelve yeas, has returned to her childhood's home to visit her many friends. She is the guest this week of Mrs. (Dr.) Taylor. Mrs. Macara is the daughter of the late Master in Chancery, H. D. McDermott, who built the castle on Huron's banks. Her husband, Mr. Willie Maca,ra, is a barrister by profes- sion, but accepted a Government posi- tion in Winnipeg some years ago, and our town lost a bright and promising lawyer. The photos taken by our local pho- tographers, Messrs. Sallows and Bro- phy, of the tall chimney and its staging, with several of the elevator staff stand- ing on top, with petite flags fluttering, make such handsome pictures that we trust the artists will have been success- ful in making large sales during the Great N. W. Fair, as they would make pretty souvenirs of the new lake enter- prise. We must not fail to congratulate Mr. Fred. Hohnes, one of our most polite young townsmen, on his launch- ing out into business for himself, not caring to choose a profession. He has purchased the coal and wood business of Mr. D. C. Strachan of H. M. Cus- toms, and we trust if Fred. Barlow Holmes does not find a diamond 'mong the coal he may, like his predecessor, find a Government appoiutment Office in Campbell's office, corner of West St. and the Squate. Mr. McLean's Reply to Mr. McGillicuddy. (From the Seaforth Expositor.) We notice by last week's Goderich Signal that we hLve made its modest editor very angry, and he smashes around more like a lunatic than a cool- headed Government, contractor. We are very sorry for this, because in his rage he is likely to do himself more harm than any person else. Ile still vehemently &tiles that he was ft "kick- er in the Reform ranks," etc. Well, it is scarcely worth discussing the sub- ject, at it is not a matter of public moment whether he was or not. Were it worth while it would he as easy to prove the "kicking" as the supreme egotism of the "kicker." 13td, neither Is of snfficient importance to justify the wasting of time or space to that end. We desire, howevee, if possible, to put the Signal right on one point.

Her daughters reside in St. Paul, and she feels, after spending some months with them in that city, that. she is wise to reside there.

On Friday last again there was great excitement at the harbor, news haying floated up town that a tuan was off on the waves afttet upon a mud scow, which situation was extremely dan- gerous, the wind having risen. The rope that connected the scow with the dredging tug had broken, and away went the hero of the hour, reversing the order .of mud scows, for they are generally behind the sailing craft, but this tiate was soon knots ahead. The lifeboat and a tug were soon off on the chase and Mr. McPhail was rescued. He sat quietly on the scow, with tbe. waves washing over him.

The absence of the merry-go-round from the Fair on Tuesday and Wednes- day- was the sole drop of woe in the children's buckets-Strathroy Age, Sept. 22nd. It is not too much to add to the foregoing that the words "sole drop" might be spelt "soul ditorfor our town at least, for the children repre- sented a minimum here of the merry- go-round votaries. Thanks to the Age for mentioning the omission, we'll all have to prepare for '99. We are all children when music's in the air. Mr. Charles Watson, gold and silver medalist in pharmacy, has obtained a situation in one of the large pharma- cies that grace that '• world-renowned business portion of Greater New York, Broadway. Charlie will reflect credit upon our town, being talented, ener- getic, aspiring and musical. May suc- cess be thine, Charlie. Toronto, a city of schools and teach- ers, shews its wisdom in keeping on hand a supply roll, that is, a staff of teachers who have no school, but who are desirous tp obtain one, and remain in the city to take the place of any teacher who may be called away for a short time by unavoidable occur- rences, and then be ready when an opening offers, standing thereby a much better chance to get a good posi- tion, having, as it were, been put upon trial. Mrs. E. Carrington Jones and little son are spending a few weeks in Chi- cago, and will later visit Mr. E. Car- rin ton Jones' father in Memphis. Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Naftel attrived in town last week from Mrs. Naftel's home, residence of Rev. Mr. Wallis, Halifax. Mrs. .Black, Elgin St, who spent the summer in Detroit with her daughter, Mrs. Maddox, has returned, quite re- cuperate(' in health. Mrs. Switzer of Kingston has rejoined her husband here, w is employed at the elevator, and will spend a few weeks visiting our progressive town. Miss Aggie Bruce, who has spent some years in Chicago, has returned, and will spend the winter with her cousins, the Misses Barry, Elgin St., with whom she will prepare herself to open in Chicago a fashionable dress- making establishment, as in that city dress -makers command high prices. St. George's church was very prettily decorated for the Harvest Thanksgiv- ing on Sunday. Boquets and ever- greens, ;with flowers interspersed, twined about the pulpit. The arch be- tween the chancel and body of the church had evergreen decorations to form a grille, and large sheaves of corn from the fields, as it grew., n the stalk, decorated' each corner': • A- handsome floral basket was suspended from the arc light in the chancel. At the evening service numbers of the other congre- gations attended to hear the visiting divine, Rev. J. Ward, rector of Hays- ville, who took for his text "What shall I do to inherit eternal life," taken from St. Luke, 10th chapter, 25th verse, The rev. gentleman explained at great length God's pleasure at seeing people bright and cheerful and doing their duty to those in sufferiug, like the Sa- maritan who poured oil and wine into the wounds of the man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and was cruelly maltreated by the thieves who robbed him of his raiment and left him to die, and paid a nurse to wait upon him until he had recovered. This was following Christ'scommand, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Then be cheer- ful ; do not go through the world as if you were going to a funeral. It is so uncommon to meet a restful face, every one seems to have some care, some worry. God has given no creature of his creation such gifts as he has given the human being, and never turn your back upon God, upon Jerusalem, for in Jericho the robbers dwell, and they he in wait to rob and plunder all who go that way. After continuing his sermon for some time, and giving his benediction, Mr. Out!, the talented organist of St. George's, played during the collection the beautiful "Offertoire" by Alex. Bruneau. Before the sermon Miss Emmy Naftel played the anthem "Praise the Lord," Mr. Cuff singing the tenor solo, the choir taking up the oth- er parts. Mr. Fowler assisted the choir, and Mr. Thomas also assisted in one of the hymns with his cornet.

In the a.m. Millard's beautiful mass was well rendered by them and Professor Jones' solos, "Nearer My God to Thee," and "Rock of Ages," were very pleasing. and highly appreciated by the congre- gation. AL vespers the choir of St. Peter's assisted in the cfsalms during which Miss Josie Shannon, the organ- ist of St. Peter's, presided at the organ. Professor Jones sang " Ave 1Vlarie," and then fpllowed "Magnificat" by the united choir. Rev. Father West gave a very earne.st and soul -saving ser- mon, taking for his subject "Examina- tion of Conscience." Benediction and Blessed Sacrament followed during which Miss Jones sang the contralto solo, "Salo taris." Lieutenant-Vovernor Territories l'issseti Away.

He cam!, London two weeks ago in the hopkt regaining his health, but grew steacitt'ys weaker, and was unconscious for 4 hours before the end. The sad new will be learned with general regre throughout the Dominion, for Mr. Cameron had long been in the public eye. His bereaved family at Goderich, will have widespread sympathy. Maloolm Colin Cameron was the son of the late Hon. Malcolm Cameron, formerly a member of the Canadian Government, and a well-known tem- peranoe advocate. He was born at Perth, Ont., April 12, 1831, and was educated at Knox College, Toronto. Like the majority of Canada's best known legislators, he was a barrister, having been called to the bar iu 1860, and for many years successfully praos tised his profession at Goderioh. His first position as a representative of the people was that of councillor at Goderioh, and afterwards as mayor. His political career began over 30 years ago, and throughout he was a sturdy Liberal. "One of the fathers of Canadian politics, and one who has upheld the banners of Liberalism in the darkest days of the party,- said the Toronto Globe. He was a vigorous speaker and formidable in debate. He represented South Huron in the House of Commons from 1867 to 1882, and West Huron front 1882 to 1887. When contesting the latter constituency in February, 1892, he was defeated by Hon. J. C. Patterson by a small major- nity, but was returned at another bye - election in January, 1890, and re-elect- ed at the Dominion general election in the same year. Mr. Cameron was a Presbyterian in religion. He was married in May, 1855, Lo Jessie II., daughter of the late Dr. John McLean, of the royal navy, who survives, together, vvitn two sons and five daughters. The sons are: M.
