Write i 1 i Prop A. S. NI11ilVi 0 � flint�n dew era FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1897 it's a pity two enlightened countries dike Canada and the States would not k.labolish their alien labor laws, but the :ai'ions of the Americans have been as *contemptible and small-souled as can be imagined. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been request- ed by the Queen to give her a personal interview before he start for home. As the Queen's request is a command, our premier will have pleasure in acceding to it. It turns out that the hogs that went begging for buyers in Toronto at $5, were fed, not on corn, as stated, but on boiled beans! Eases farmers assert that they feed their pigs on corn,chop- ped barley and chopped oats, and ob- tain the best results and highest prices. ' All this talk about Britain imposing preferential duties is the veriest non- .senee. Any one who reads English ;sentiment knows perfectly well that Britain has not the remotest thought of doing such a thing. Further, it is high time Canadians conducted trade with Britain without looking for spe- cial favors. We are pleased to see that J. V. Ellis M.P., has decided not to accept the P. .0. Inspectorship of New Brunswick.— Thie saves the Liberals from what would have been a compromising po- sition', and politicians should avoid, if possible, anything that is derogatory to principle. It is a great deal easier to do a wrong act than to check the After consequences of such action, and the wise course is to guard against any compromises. The Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Witness states on reliable in- formation that Sir Oliver Mowat offer- ed the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Appeal for Ontario, on the resignation of Chi ef Justice Hagerty, toH Hagerty, Y , to Hon. Edward Blake, with the un- derstanding that as soon as Sir Henry Strong retired from the position he now holds Mr Blake would be appoint - ad Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and so greatly strengthen the highest appellate court in the Dominion. Mr Blake could not, however, see his way ,,clear to accepting the offer, which is much to be regretted for certainly Canada is entitled to the service of her most gifted son. Tne Senate Laying aside, however, any discus- sion as to the wisdom of the Senate's action in rejecting the Drummond Railway deal, the fact only remains that all these threats about abolishing a part of our Parliament are idle. Newspr per politicians in this country ought to know that Canada did not make her own constitution. It was made for. her by the Imperial parlia- ment. Nor can she amend it, let its defects be as clearly proven as they may. It is not reasonable to suppose that any efforts to have it altered 'would be considered by the Rome Government.—Exeter Times. We fancy the Times is jumping to an unreasonable conclusion. It is quite true that Canada cannot amend its own constitution, but it does not by any means follow that England may not amend it for us. Assume, for the purpose of argument, that the Cana- dian people favored some change in the form of the Senate, or its entire abolition, if you like, and had given expression to this desire, does the Times mean to say that England would refuse the Canadian people's wish. We do not think so. It would be equivalent to sayu g. that once cer- tain institutions were in existence, they should always remain so, and this might, under some circumstances, s, be preposterous. It is a safe presump- tion to say that when the people want a change, and indicate it, they will get it. It is evident that a good many persons look upon the Senate as a useless con- cern. Mr F. Guest, who states that he is a Conservative, writing to one of the Toronto papers, says:— "Who ever heard of any good the Senate ever done, anyway? It is an expensive obstruction to progress that should be ended or greatly amended." On August 5 next, John Carleton, 31:=P.;'for--North--- ct folk, completed 25 years of continuous ser- vice in the Dominion House of Com mons, and that without a break. He has never lost an election, or had his return protested. Only nine members are now in the House who were mem- bers 25 years ago: Sir Richard Cart- wrigbt,Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Adolphe Caron, Messrs Patterson, Bain, Land- erkin, Casey, Cameron and Schriver— all..Liberals, except. Sir Charles Tup- per and Sir Adolphe Caron. Charlton has served his constituents faithfully, and they will no doubt duly celebrate his jubilee. If anybody has heard of a better country to make a living in than Can- ada, let him epeak now. The millers are reporting quite a big export demand for Manitoba flour these days, and it is being introduced in all the leading markets of the world. On 'change at Montreal a miller stated that he now had 8 or 9 countries on his export list which off and on had taken the best brand of Manitoba flour. In running them over he mentioned Aus- tralia, Ireland, South America, Den- "' `nark, England, Scotland, China and 'South Africa. Of course, flour is not gelling at these places right along, but this week sales have been made to 8 of ,them. Yesterday a round lot was bought for South Africa and another torChina, while in the afternoon a sale Of 2;000 sacks was made to go to Linden. Canada's day is here. A PROMINENT LAWYER SAYS : "I have eight children, every one in good health, not one of whom but bas taken Soott's Emulsion, in which my wife has boundless confidence." Jottings and Notes Picked Up By 14 New Era Ram• bier A ROCKY ROAD.—Turning from the road into a farmer's who lived back a quarter of a mile, we were surprised to find the road scattered with large stones weighing from 5 to 15 lbs. The farmer had hauled gravel to make the roadway, but he left the large stones in, and his horses stumble and the waggon strikes the stones every time they go in' and out. How much nicer it would be if those large stones were not there. AN UNFENCED FARM.—We don't suppose there are many of the NEw ERA's readers even in the township of Hullett, who know that there is a 50 acre farm in the township, under culti- vation, which has no fence around it. Yet such is the case. The farm of Mr Robt. Clarke, on the corner 'of St. John's sideline and con. 5, is the farm. He has so far experienced little or no annoyance from cattle, and it is quite. an item to do without a fence. Crisp County Clippings• Crisp County Clippings. Mrs Hutton, of St. Leonards -on -sea, England, is visiting her sister. Mrs S. I Barton, of Seaforth. It is 44 years since they met. The balance of the June make of Bracefield cheese was chipped Tuesday. The price realized wes 8 1.2 cents per puuud. We understand that Miss Annie Consit, who has so successtully taught in S. S. No 7 Stanley, for the past two years, bas been re-engaged for next year at an increase of salary. Mr Oliver Coleman has been engaged as principal of Zurich public school tor the fall term, while Ed. J. Hagan is at- tending Ottawa Normal, Geo. Ireland,undertaker, Wingham, made an experience of embalrning on a chicken hawk 5 weeks ago. It is still in perfect preservation. Fannie Sheridan, Wingham, caught a black base on Monday 19 inches long and measuring 6 inches from flank to back. Four Lucknow boys have been arrest- ed on a charge of committing various robberies around that sect ion, ane have been committed for trial. Little Johnnie Farquharson, of Grey, had the misfortune to fall while playing on Saturday and break his leg. This is the third time he has broken his leg besidesi0reaking his arm once in four years. We knowthe great curee by Hood's Sar saparilla are genuine because the people themselves write about them. On Saturday afternoon as Mr Paulin, Wroxetet, was nailing a hoard on his stable, the ladder, on which he was standing, slipped and threw him to the floor below. v, Instruckhis fall his side the edge of a manger breaking two of his ribs. On the morning of July 19th, Peter O'Connell passed away at the advanced age of ninety-four. He was cne of the oldest residents in the vicinity of Sea - forth, having emigrated to this county in 1847. Messrs McMillan, McMichael and Stephenson, of Hullett, shipped 8 car loads of very tine cattle from Seaforth on Tuesday for the old country. John Scott and John Stephenson went with there. Mr James Archibald also ship- ped a car load of horses to the old country. At the close of the decoration service of Maitland lodge, No. 119. I. 0, O. F., Wingham, last Friday evening, a vet- eran jewel and an address were present- ed to Jahr Elder, he having been for over 25 years a member of this lodge. At the residence of H. Cassidy, Dear - ham township at 12 o'clock noon, on Tuesday, July 20, Mrs Fannie Little, of Ingersoll, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to H. B. Elliott the enter• prising young editor of the Wingham Times. At the First Presbyterian church, Seaforth, on Tuesday, Rev. Neil Mc- Pherson, M.A., B.D., pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church, Hamilton, and Isabel, daughter of Rev. Matthew Barr, of Seaforth, were united in mar- riage. The ceremony was performed at one o'clock, by Rev. Dr. McDonald, assisted by the father of the bride. Jessie Gordon, daughter of Alex. Munn, of Hay township, died ou Satur- day. She bad been ill but two days, the cause of her death being appendic- itis. Deceased was a bright and clever child of 12. Kummer s. To DESTROY BUGS.—Meeting a far- mer the other day who was sprinkling his potatoes with paris green, he was asked if he knew any other remedy than poison for the bugs. "Yes, I do," he replied, "thoro-bred Black Spanish fowl will walk up and down the rows and pick them off,. as if they were eating grain. I kr.ow this be- cause I've seen them do it. Why don't I keep Black Spanish, then? Oh, we sold ours and did not get any more." If this remedy is reliable every potato grower should also raise Black Spanish fowl. NOT AFRAID OF FREE CORN. —Mr Whyte, the well-known pork -packer of Mitchell, was in town on Monday. Being asked for his opinion concern- ing the introduction of free corn he said:—"I have always advocated it,and I believe it will be for the Benefit of our stock raisers. We certainly can- not rai an- n trai eft successfully in this coun- try, and I think it will he an advan- tage to get it. It may affect the pork trade, but I am not so sure about that, and I would not advise farmers to use too much of it in fattening hogs, but I certainly am not afraid of it." The Hunter family, of Usborne, pic- niced 3,t Grand Bend one day last week and while out boating one little child fell overboard. and narrowly escaped drowning. It had gone down once, and came to the surface some distance from the boat, and but for the prompt action of Mr Hunter in leaping from the boat, into the water, the little oue would have drowned. Peter Itulay ot Wawanosh met with a very painful accident on Saturday last. He was driving a team hitched to a large land roller, when his hand got caught between the back part of the frame and the roller. The team be- came frightened and broke loose from the roller, and threw inr Imlay off. 'The roller which was on a small bill rolled back on bis legs holding him in that position for 8 hours until assistance.r- rived and he was extricated from hie painful position. He is badly bruised. WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. — "Just think of what a difference it will make in business if farmers have good crops this year," says Mr D. A. Forres- ter. "In round numbers there are eight thousand farmers in the County of Huron. Suppose their crops are just better to the extent of $100 than -they.vizere lastenr—andthat-ie- —lti - estimate—that means 8800,000 more in the hands of farmers to spend. Most of them spend every year all that they make off the farm. That extra hund- red dollars, small in itself, becomes an important item when multiplied, and it would make all the difference in the world between bad times and good." It looks much as if the farmers would have this extra amount this year, and while business men will be glad at its possible expenditure, no one will re- joice on general principles more than they at the bettering of the farmer's condition. HOUSE of REFUGE.—Huron County House of Refuge is said to be the best managed institution of the kind in the province, and Mr and Mrs French are much eulogised for their mode of hand- ling the concern. Itis to be hoped that this state of affairs may long continue. The institution is rapidly filling up and the necessity for its, -enlargement is daily becoming more apparent.—Hen- sail Observer. [Without any exceptio we believe this institution is the best managed of its kind in the Dominion. Competent persons from different sec- tions who have visited it repeatedly say so. But the compensation received by the manager and his wife is not at all in keeping with the work performed, and if the County Connell is wise it will make a fair advance in the salary paid. We believe that it would be difficult to replace the present managers, and it would be well to anticipate other counties making advances that might 'be a strong temptation for them to accept. eels • Beltz's hat and fur store at London VMS damaged by fire to the amount of $2,000 or $3,00J. There is a strong movement at Mon- treal in favor of a reconstruction of the Conservative party. The returns of the Prince Edward Is- land election show about twenty Lib - era's elected to ten Conservatives. A carrier pigeon has been caught in the vicinity of Tromso Island, near the north point of Norway, believed to come from Andrea's baloon, which has the followiug stamped on its wing: • "North pole passed fifteenth." It looks as if the Dominion Govern- meut had in prospect the selection of a new Canadian flag. A sample flag h as been received by Admiral Erskine from Ottawa for his opinion. It is a British flag with the Union Jack in the usual place and a white diamond on a field ofreen with a maple leaf in the diamond. Mrs Robert Hullison, of Tucker•- smit.h, passed to the better land on last •;aturday, Mrs Hullistoti has been in delicate health f::r about, two years, but had only been confined to bed for six weeks. She was a sufferer, but [lever complained. Mrs Hollisiou's maiden name was Grace Cumming. She was the eldest daughter of the late John Cumming and sister of James Cum- ming, of Egwondville. Six apbles were shown in St. Thom- as the other Lilly from an orchard in which the government in making an experiment to test the practical value of ,spraying orchards, Three of them had been taken frim a tree where no spraying had been done. They were all small, deformed and seriously af- testedwith ^ h se black spots that are the ruin ofsomuch fruit. On the other hand the three taken from sprayed trees were fully twice as large and were healthy and well shaped and, free from all fungi, with every appearance of de- veloping into perfect fruit. The sam- ples were all of the Northern Spy var- iety, and were sprayed six times. On the morning of July 7th, Hannah, wife of Peter Sinclair, 14th con. Grey, died quite suddenly and unexpectedly and was buried on the following Fri- day atCranbrook cemetery. wing to the peculiarity of her sick spells and death, coupled with the fact that her life was insured, led to certain rumours being circulated as to the possible employment of unfair means in hastening her death. Mr Sinclair heard some of tbese stories, and acting on the advice of fr iends and desiring to clear himself of any such malicious act, wrote Dr. Wrn. holmes, Coroner, of Goderieh, asking him to hold an in- vestigation and ascertain the true state of affairs, which he did, and jury re- turned a verdict that deceased came to her death by tbe rupture of a blood vessel, reused by an extra uterine pregnancy. At Centralia last Tuesday '1Villiam Kelly, of Biddulph, was shot and wounded by Richard Culbert, who lives in Centralia. Kelly went to Culbert's dwelling at about 11.45 at night to en- gage Wrn. Taylor, who is residing with Culbert, to get him to do some hoeing on the 21st. Taylor was asleep in bed, and Culbert refused to awaken him, as be (lOulhert) also wished Taylor to work for him on the saute day. Kelly, who, it is said, was somewhat under the influence of liquor, t,t,caree persistent, and Culbert ordered him from the place. Kelly left, but in about half an hour he retut ned,'and, as Culbert avers, tapped on the window, whereupon Culbert fired through the .window, the bullet entering at the corner of Kelly's eye and grazing the bridge of his nose. The bones were shattered, rnd the course of the ball changed in such a direction as to puz- zle Drs. Wishart, Braining, Shoults and Rollins, who were called after the shooting, Culbert, it is alleged drag- ged Kelly out on the road and tried to gouge the bullet out with his finger, but being unsuccessful he 'sent for Dr. Shoults. Constable Davis shortly afterwards took Culbert into custody and drove him to:the lockup at Credi- ton. Kelly, although badly wounded, still retains consciousness, but it is feared blood -poisoning may set in. The doctors. were unsuccessful in probing for the bullet. Culbert has been com- mitted for trial. The members of the Wingham I. O. O. F. lodge assembled at their lodge room at 6.30 on Friday eveningnin and, accom- panied by a number of visiting breth- reu, marched to the cemetry and dec- orated with flowers the graves of de- ceased brethren and deceased wives of brethren. A few years ago the differ- ent societies of the town joined.togeth- er in this mission of love to the mem- ory of departed ones, but all have drop- ped the custom except the Oddfellows. One day last'sveek as Henry Wurm, of Zurich, was drawing in hay be met with a bad accident. His daughter, Mrs Fuse, and a boy were on the load assisting him, when in some way the ladder broke and the boy fel' onto the tiougue of a ascus tilg5sLenin g file hot see so that they ran away. He man- aged to get hold of the lines and hang on, and in that way they ran around the fleld three or four times. Mr Wurm tried to stop them and in doing so was knokked down and .the hind part of the wagon passed over his legs. The Expositor says:—"We under- stand that the contract for carrying the mail daily between Seafqrth, Con- stance and Harlock, has been let to Wm. McIntosh, of Constance, His contract commences, we are informed, on the first of August. After that date Constance and Harlock will, therefore, have a daily mail service. This also will remove from the road the familiar figure of Thomas Neilans, who ever since 1872: has faithfully served Her Majesty as mail carrier between Sea - forth and Harlock. For twenty-six years, rain or shine, cold or warm, through snowdrifts and through mud. Mr Neilans has faithfully discharged his duties, and has passed over the road three times each week, and can now retire with honor, although it will be hard for him to resign the charge into the hands of another person. Mr Neilans also tendered for this daily Contract, but although hie figures were low, Mr Mclntosh's must have been lower. BABY WAS CURED.

Wise and Otherwise. Nearly every shrewd and wise busi- ness man recognizes the importance of securing a satisfactory investment for his spare money. and many are the channels through which such invest- ment can be made. The medium of life insurance within the past few years has been wisely sought for the purpose of securing such investment. An investment pal- icy of insurance, combining ' the ele- ments of pre tection to dependents in case of death, and a desirable invest- ment if the assured lives a certain number of years, were the great in- ducements which attracted many to examine into and make such an invest- l..ent.
