Why did Garrow resign? has been asked, to which there can be but one reply. He threw up the sponge because he knew that he would be unseated if the case went to trial. He wanted to save costs and, per - baps, was not entirely sure of being able to escape a personal charge which would have asked for his disqualifica- tion. The Conservative agents were in a generous mood and consented to call quits. It is not quite certain that they could not have done better. However, the seat is vacant, so much of a gain for the Conservatives and an acknowledgement by the Liberals that they won it dishonestly. MR. GIBSON ELECTED. Mr. Gibson, a Minister of the Crown, contested the Grit hive of East Wel- lington and yet it was necessary to throw the whole weight of the Gov- ernment, the barrel and the machine in his favor. Still we are told the Government is strong in the confidence of the people. He was elected, to be sure, but it has been asserted, perhaps unnecessari- ly, that so staunch is the politics of East Wellington that a yellow dog, if labelled Grit, could lead the poll. This would iinply a doubt of Lhe Liberals, the old standbys, being open to con- viction. MR. BARBER PUT OUT. Mr. Barber won Halton from the Conservatives, but he made the mis- take of buying votes by wholesale at retail prices and the Court has unseat- ed him. - To pay three prices for votes, to have his methods exposed, and •to lose the seat after all is a threble hardship and Mr. Barber is a fit subject for sym- pathy. Statesmen of the Barber stripe, who would purify,politics with dollars, ap- pear to have become quite numerous. EILBER'S SEAT SAFE. The petition against the return of Mr. Harry Eilber, M. L. A., has been withdrawn, and thus his right to the seat confirmed. The case against him collapsed for a two -fold reason :—TheLiberals doubt- ed that they could unseat hint and saw no prospect of winning back the con- stituency in another contest. The Conservatives are faring .very well. The South is safe and the ad- mission made that the West was won by unfair means. 511? WILFRID AND THE PROHIBITIONISTS. Leading prohibitionists are to go to Ottawa to interview Sir Wilfrid Lauri- er and request him to give the country a prohibitory law. They will point to the popular majority and to the major- ity by provinces in support of their contention. As the Premier has promised prohi- bition, according to his supporters in Huron, it is only fair to suppose !lit he will fall into line with the prohibi- tionists andgive them more than cold comfort. not Wil- frid will benecessary for Sir n ee Y to tell the deputation that while professing to be friendly to their cause, he did his utmost with the aid of his Ministers to secure eo overwhelming an adverse vote in Quebec that the question would be buried for years. WILL THERE BE WAR? Britain and France seem upon the verge of war, and while it is uulikely that they will actually come to blows, there is no telling to wbatrashness the French Government may resort to re- lieve itself of internal trouble. In the meantime the British Government is making every preparation for conflict. if France provokes this war, the re- sult will be to set back the 'day of her l revenge upon Germany and the recov- ery of the lost provinces hy a decade, if not forever. THA GOVERNMENT AND THE KLONDIKE. The Federal Government has no greater responsibility at this moment than to stop the etream of damaging testimony concerning the Government of the Yukon district which is flowing over to the British Islands with an ever augmenting momentum. We are in a fair way if this keeps up to lose the help of British capital and British enterprise in developing that region. Nothing is so timid as capital; and if the impression is once establish- ed in Britain that the Government of the Yukon gold fields, including such delicate operations as the registering of claims, is dangerously corrupt, Brit- ish capitalists would as soon think of financing a railroad to the moon es supplying the "sinews" fora Yukon gold mining company. And yet ex- perts tell us that it is just upon the operations of such large companies that the future of that country de- pends. The need of the Klondike is capital; Britain is the world's reservoir of capital; and the reports of the state of officialdom in the Klondike now going to Britain by every steamer are admir- ably calculated to close that reservoir to our need for many a year. Under such circumstances, the duty of the Government in the ease may he marked "urgent." It roust stop the flow of alarmist reports and as soon n,s possible produce a plentiful quantity of antidote. This, of cenrso it, cannot accomplish by confiningthe English miners and correspondents in the '.C'ower Room, or making it leo majes- tic to criticise Mr. Sitton's officials. The only thing to do is to remove the causes•of criticism.—Molitreal Star, f 111-1E CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. NEWS FROM ALL OVER HURON COUNTY. FROM OUR OWN OORRESPONDENTS AND COUNTY gXOHANQES, Goderich. Obituary.—We regret to announce the death on Friday a. in. last, 27th October, at her sister's residence, home of Mrs. J. Bedford, Lighthouse street, of Jenirua, seventh daughter of Mr. M. McLean, Warren street, and belov- ed and devoted wife of Peter Morris, Esq. of Wheatland, North Dakota,who arrived in time to be with her in her last few hours on earth. Mrs. Mori is had been ill for more than a year and fondly hoping a change might be bene- ficial she and her only son, Wilmer, accompanied Mr. W. Green, her brother-in-law, on his return home from Dakota, where he had gone to visit his parents. But her time on earth soon drew to a close and on Sun- day her remains were laid at rest. The relatives of deceased who attended her funeral are her eldest sister, Mrs. Mal- colm Murray of Southampton, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Captain McLean, Detroit, and her aunt,, Mrs. Neil Mc- Kinnon of Brantford. The floral tributes were lovely and covered the casket. The funeral took place on Sunday at 2.30 p. m., Rev. M. Ander- son officiating, and the long cortege proceeded up West street and thence to Maitland cemetery. The pall -bearers were Messrs. D. C. Strachan, H. M. Customs, James Buchanan, James Robinson, William Craig, Barrister E. N. Lewis and Mr. Manger. Another shower on Sunday night, but happily after the congregations were dispersed. Mrs. Campbell of London has come to remain with her mother and sister, Mrs. Cox and Miss Cox, Victoria street, in their hour of sorrow, consequent upon the unfortunate affair in which her brother, Mr. W.

Left him far behind.—At the inquest held on Friday last in the Court House on the late melancholy death in Gode- rich township, when Dr. Whitely 'was giving his evidence as to the exact cause or death in connection with the course the bullet took, a gentleman tried to follow the Dr. in his scientific collection of Latin terms for every bone in the cranium, but gave it up, saying, "The Dr. left me far behind." The Marine band played in their hall on Saturday evening.

Rev. M. MacGillivray of this city, speaking at the Lord's day alliance, remarked :—"I think we are fighting a good deal for a lost cause. Largely the Sabbath is gone. This is due part- ly to the culpable defect in home train- ing, but chiefly to the negative spirit of the times. We must take radical steps if we are to save our Christian Sabbath."—Kingston British Whig. Montreal Klondikers.—The follow- ing clipping from the Montreal Wit- ness refers to the party to which our townsmen, Messrs. Duncan Matheson and George Hamilton, belong, and which must be most acceptable news to their esteemed relatives here :— "Friends of theroup of I p ntreal young men who left early in The sea- son have heard from thein from Hay river, Great Slave lake, N. W. T., where they were on June • 22nd. Ex- tracts from . their- letters say :—We reached here at noon on Sunday and ha't-e been wind -bound ever since. Slave river and Slave lake are well named. We are in abject slavery to the two elements, wind and water. The waves were running ten feet high and we were not sorry to see a quiet harbor, with a river running into it, logbuildings the banks and apiece g - of ground fenced in—signs of civili- zation. We found this was Hay river, of which I have seen reports in the Evangelical Churchman, and we were lucky in being tied up bere instead of some lonesome bay or island out in the lake. The missionary is the Rev. Mr. Marsh from Collingwood. Mrs. Marsh' only came here a year ago and is from Lindsay, Ont., as are Miss Veitch and i Mr. Somers'assistants,Miss T msand Mr, Marsh's sister. They have all been very kind and it is a treat to see civi- lized people again, especially ladies, as they are scarce in this country, and they were as glad to see white faces as we were to gain shelter. I gave them some papers, (of the beginning of April) which they were glad to get, as they had not any mail since the previ- ous September. We went to service in the mission that evening., The largest room and adjoining two rooms were filled with French, English, Nor- wegian and German Klondikers and a few Indians, although the latter have t.heirservice In the afternoon. There is no service in English as a rule as there are no whites. Mr. Marsh gave a splendid sermon. Many a sturdy frame shook and tears were in many eyes, the minister's included. He in- deed must be a thorough Christian to bury himself there tis he has done. After the service I never in my life saw men so loath to leave God's house. The reverend gentleman soon saw it and asked if we would like to sing a little more. All were so glad that not one moved, so for . an hour we sang Nearer my God to Thee, Pull for the shore, My God, my Father while I stray, and many appropriate to the occasion of stormy trips and perils on the sea. Dr. Brown sang Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden. On Monday the storm continu- ed and Mr. Marsh suggested a concert, to let the Indians see how whites en- joyed life. 1 went to all the tents in camp, men from all over America, and got together quite a lot of musicians. At seven p. m. the bell was rung and Mr. Marsh acted as chairman. We had songs and recitations, a mandolin, violin, guitar and autoharp --quite an orchestra, and everybody declared that the first concert held at Hay river was a great success. Mr. Marsh had been working at n new house for a couple of years, but it is slow work for a couple of men, as they havo to whip. saw every foot of limber themselves. As we were still wind -hound, we all turned in and gave thein a hand—all whether C'ttholic or Protestant, joined in the enthusiasm. We worked all day and got things into pretty gond shape, all the heavy work done, and the will be able to live in the house this winter. Mrs. Marsh Insisted nn our staying to tea, I enjoyed that meal. Wo had milk and sugar in our tea and coffee and it seemed like home to sit down to a table with a eloth and chinaware.

Mr. James Thomas was on St. George's harvest festival program to render a cornet solo, which would have been much appreciated, but being on the police force those evenings Mr. Thomas could not add to the evening's pleasure. Considerable expense being incurred getting programs pr(nted for the many entertainments. It would be of great assistance to ye reporters if the chair- man of each entertainment would kindly give out title of song, recita- tion, &c., &c., for their benefit, for sometimes•there is bare time to write up the report for the newspaper, with- out loosing time trying to get the sev- eral titles.

Mr. Dowding's daughter, Miss Anna, is, we are sorry to say, suffering from indisposition. The inclemencey of the weather for the past three weeks prevented the men engaged in sheeting the elevator with corrugated iron from getting the work finished, but the track is being laid for the G.

A. writes in last week's issue of THE NEWS•RECORD that it would be advisable to have Clinton chosen for a site tor a county hospital " from its central position and good railway ac- commodation." Never mind the cen- tral position J. A., do let the patients have a glimpse of Lake Huron and its beautiful scenery and get their brows fanned by the breezes. If you do auc- seed in awakening the county to the fact that a hospital is truly necessary and, then, well then, vote for Gode- rich.'

The lake looked anything but lovely some days last week wearing en ashen aspect, consequently the water service took on the same may color. if we were a rich community like the people of New Jersey, we would vote tor all the dredging matter to be dumped along the shore to form land which would of course prevent the sand and gravel assimilating with the lake water. But unfortuneately we are far from being rich. The entertainment at the Collegiate Inatit ute on Friday evening last took the form of a debate, "Resolved that we should follow the fashions," Miss Lou Masson, daughter of Judge Mas- son taking the affirmative and Mr.Wil- liain Hiles leading the negative, Mr, Halls, principal of the Central school, being referee, The negative side gain• ed, but Mr, Hall decided that the nega- tive points were not, sufficiently high, while the affirmative was not suppor• led with sufficient strength. Thoohaer- vation of the Rev.Mr.Bradley who gave a sermon in Knox church very 'recent- ly, would have been a fitting allusion on "Fashion's support, that while• Dr. Daniel Wilson was lecturing the students nt Queen's University, unknown to the distinguished sclinlar his collar beeame unfastened and the students, instead of listening to the lecture, were, includ- ing the Rev.

Goderich 'A wet Sunday for a change. The Guy Bros. with petunia colored silk tiles looked exceedingly well, while they formed a square and played be- tween the blocks on West street. The weather, as well as the train time, guy -ed them, for the train due at 11 a. rn. did not reach town until nearly 1 p. m. which' prevented the noon par- ade and the wintry snow on sidewalk and street in October, was really not very cheering to musician or lookers- on, but the band played ou.

Hall wad last week fined $20 and costs by Magistrates R. Harrison of Ashfleld and W. Mallough of Dungan. non for assaulting William Spoors of A',hfteld. Hall had a contract to brush and Olean some land for Speers and the assault grew out of a dispute as to the way the work was done and the amount of land first specified In the agreement.

They finally succeeds ed in bringing the brute to astandstill, but it was with considerable difficulty they did so. Luckily all escaped un- hurt, but boys should be more oareful, as rash acts of this kind might result in mp ch damage and probably loss of life. Mr, Gladman of the firm of Elliot & Gladman, barristers, narrowly escaped serious, if not fatal, injuries on Friday last. He was at the depot to sec a relative off, and following the practice too often indulged in, got on the train with his friend.

At the time the Liberals were arranging for a h tw off with another constituency, and word came from Toronto telling Mr. Eilber he would not be required to go to Gode- rich for examination. Arrangements had been wade for examination in Goderich, and when Mr. Briber failed to appear a motion was made to commit him for contempt of court. Judge Osler disposed ot the matterby request- ing Mr. Eilber to appear when required. Mr. Eilber''s non,appearance was no lax of duty on his part, but a misunder- standing among the political managers in Toronto. IIe was quite willing to ap- pear and has been from the outset. The sum of $50 was collected from the merchants of Exeter to help defray the expense• of holding a Fat Stock Show here in December. The South Huron Agricultural Society met in Ilcnsall and decided to hold the'show in Exeter on December 18th. Exeter was the only place that had raised a fund to assist in paying the prizes.
