THE RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS
The elections have been decided and
the Conservative Goyernment still hold
the reins of power. In fact it might be
claimed a brilliant triumph for the Con-
servative party. It was not conceded
that the Conservative Government would
be defeated, though we could not hope
that the majority would be so large owing
to the French animosity of the Govern-
ment. Indeed, the result has been a
surprise, not- only to the Reformers, but,
Tait latest advices. from India state that
there is no animation in the grain mar-
kets, and both Calcutta and Bombay are
unchanged. War would be particularly
distasteful to the latter, as the centre of
so much direct continental business could
not but be a sufferer, While crop pros-
pects are good in Bengal, deficient rains
are likely to prejudice the wheat yield of
the Punjab of which theacreage is said
J ti
to be 2 per cent, under that of last sea
8011.
A LONDON cable letter says that there
the belief that a war is coming with the
spring still holds. The only word which
is heard comforting to the peace -makers
comes from a prominent German official
now in London, to whom Lord Granville,
who is a fairly good authority on foreign
affairs, has expressed his belief that war
would be averted. The situation was
critical, but he felt certain the cloud
would blow over, as neither country wants
to fight just now. The same German
friend believes that Bismarck will not be
so happy as ho could wish with his new
Reichstag. He may, and probably will,
have his Septennate, but he will have no
subservient majority to give him the to-
bacco and spirits monopolies on which he
depends for financial strength. Madame
Novikoff, the Russian woman of brains,
also believes that war is not as probable
as it was, Russia and Austria, she thinks,
understand each other, and Bulgaria will
come to her senses and stop playing the
spoiled child very soon.

A. Macdonald. We even thought the
majority might possibly be reduced to
fourteen, but we were altogether unpre-
pared to see the country mark its
approval of Mr. Blake, Laurier & Co.,
and disapproval of honest, loyal Govern-
ment. The battle was, on the whole,
fought fairly, though in some instances,
no doubt, as in South Perth, underhand-
ed work was resorted to. The principal
questions which entered into the contest
were Protection, maintenance of our
criminal laws and economical adminis-
tration as against the jug -handled and
most unpatriotic policy which the Re-
formers have long seen fit to uphold with
reference to our trade relations with
other countries, French domination
and unscrupulous contentions with
reference to the finances. It is useless
for the Reformers to urge that the party
gave too little heed to the great questions
of the day, as a reason for the third de-
feat of the Great Reform party. We all
know that the Globe and other Reform
papers swayed considerably and kept a
pace of the many turns of the party leader.
It is well known that not many months
ago the Globe and minor Reform papers,
were, day after clay and week after week,
filled with tirades against Protection and
sneers and scoffs at what they very
thoughtlessly termed the taxationist
into Hensall.
.A few prominent people of the town who
are in a position to make a pretty good guess,
are of opinion that Exeter will be lighted by
electricity some day.

Ford's neighbors regret very munh to part
with him as ho has been a kind and obliging
friend.
Winter is the dullest time of the year on
a farm, but the country boys have developed
a new amusement in the killing of rats that
serves to pass away many a lonesome hour.
It would be, perhaps, well to state in this
connection that a pertain eastern firm is buy-
ing up all the rat hides in hopes°of forcing a
corner on kid gloves.
Miss Teenie McKellar and Mr. Warren
McGill were united in the bonds of matrimony

have already settled down on a farm near
Farquhar.
Whin Wm. Roger, of Motherwill, mail
care ier, went into his stable last Friday mores
mg to feed his horses he found his driving
mare dead and two foals lyiug beside her
dead. She was all right the night previous

one of her feet was entaugled and could not
be extricated till one of theboards was broken.
On one or two occasions recently a young
wuman has appeared at the Skating Rink,
Clinton, in male attire, no doubt thinking
that her "make up" was so complete that
her sex would not be revealed. Although
nothing has been said to her personally, it
was known at the time who she was, and for
her own sake it is hoped she will not be
injudicious enough to again don male habila-
meets.
A sad .accident occurred at Owen Sound,

willingness, subject, of course, to the powers
that be.
