The troo- ble begins, when he does it so loudly, that he foolishly imagines that he is the whole band. * * s —The Conservative Convention for North Huron will meet in Winghana Thursday, April 23rd. After election of officers and selection of a candidate, the Convention will be addressed by CM- laugh Clark, al. P. P., and 11. Eit- her, M. P. P. for Sonth Huron, * * —The Liberal Convention for North Huron will meet in Wingham on Fri- day, 24th inst. Organization and selection of a candidate will be the work of tbe delegates. Outside speak- ers are expected to address the meet- ing. * * —Railroad officials have given no- tice for householders to be on their guard, as tramps are numerous. It is said that the reason is, that they are now leaving the jails where they have been sheltered and. fed for the winter, and are now out for their summer rambles, * * * —The seventh Homeseekers' excur- sion to the West left Toronto last week, and the reports show a diminu- tion of those who "go Westa! This year, the passenger list of each excur- sion averaged about 500, or a total of 3,500. Last year there were several days, that the number nearly reached the total for this year to date. * * —A meeting of the Liberal Execu- tive of Centre Huron was held ' in Blyth, on Thursday afternoon. Mr. W. M. Sinclair, barrister, of Brussels, presided, and Mr. Charles Gavrows Goderich, acted as Secretary. It was decided to hold an organization meet- ing and nomination convention in Sea - forth on Tuesday, May 12th, at one o'clock. Four delegates are asked from each polling sub -division. A committee was appointed to prepare a constitution for submission to the con- vention. * * * —Some Liberal papers persist in calling the Whitney, redistribution Bill a 'gerrymander,' when as a mat- ter of fact, only a very few constitu- encies have been touched. In 1880, Sir Oliver Mowat changed the boundaries of forty constituencies, so that 153,121 Liberal voters elected 59 members, while 100,990 Conservative voters, were only able to elect 20 rnembex:s. The result was that although the Con- servative voters numbered 9,809 more than the Liberals, yet they had thirty less representatives. Yet in spite of this flagrant injustice, the papers that now shout "gerrymander" had not the courage to protest, but evidently endorsed the stealing of seats by wholesale. In face of this, one is forc- ed to the conclusion, that the recent redistribution, would have satisfied these papers, only if it had left undis- turbed every unfair advantage the Liberals had enjoyed from previous genuine gerrymanders. * * * —The questio' n of bonusing immi- grants was discussed in the Commons last week. Dr. Chisholm, N. P. for East Huron, its a brief speech contend- ed, that Canada need not be anxious about obtaining settlers for the prairie land. Farmers of the Old World have everything to gain by coining here, and. it is for us tossee that we get the best, since we give thern the land which is the natural heritage of our own children. The Government has been invitingand paying for Doukho- hors and giving them lands on easiet conditions than are allowed to our own people. Land has been held seven years for Doukhobors, while a Canadian born farmer who had taken a homestead could not have it held for him during the time he was absent from sickness. Thousands of alleged farm laborers on whom bonuses were paid abroad (and another bonus to the agent who found places for them in Ontario) are .useless for that service. Dr. Chisholm proposes that the Cenia dian farmers should be encouraged to send a delegate from each district to go abroad and select. the help required for the farmers in his neighborhood, the expenses of the agent to be paid by the Government with part of the money now wasted in bonuses. THE OLD GOSPEL GOOD ENOUGH, To the Editor of the Advance. DEAR SIR have been given to understand that some of those who attend. the "nondescript" mission on ara Victoria St. are quoting me as favor- ing the work as done there. Allow me, -please, to state distinctly. that such is not the case. I have never, either in public or in private, given my word of approval to the confusion of tongues and the confusion of ideas which prevails there. I should have to part with my intelligence, my edu- cation and my religion before I could give my sanction to such a medley of consis teneies. Yours, for the old Evangel, W. G. HOWSON. Whitechurch.
