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 :

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.

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

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.

At Centralia last Tuesday '1Villiam
Kelly, of Biddulph, was shot and
wounded by Richard Culbert, who lives
in Centralia. Kelly went to Culbert's

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

from the place. Kelly left, but in
about half an hour he retut ned,'and, as
Culbert avers, tapped on the window,

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

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.

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.
Itis an exception, generally speak-
ing, now -a -days, to find an active,
healthy man or whatever calling or pro-
fession, who does not carry a policy of
insurance oro his life ; many of those
who have not availed themselves of
the advantagesofferedtbrough suurh a
medium would, with lit tle furei hnegbt
and consideration, prevent tu'rch ;tnx-
ious care, and inconvenience to their
dependents, by making provision for
them under a policy of insurance.

"Your peper of June 25th gladly re-

both a freight and passenger division
of the N. P. Railroad; it is in the midst
of a rich mineral district, has an excel-

I named the paper after your oivn,
being an old Ulmton boy and having
learnt what little I know about print-
