Monster Celebration at Brussels.
--
Tile Bey Bleceweere.
Last Monday one of the largest and
most doceseful gatherings ever held in
Brussels assembled to celebrate the 201s0
anniversery of the celebrated Battle of
the Boyne. Before 7 a. m. the visitors
began to pour in and by 10 o'clock the
streeta were fairly blocked. The speeded
excursion trains from Harriston and
Londesboro' were very heavily freighted
with Orangemen and their friends to the
number of 1,500 or 1,800. On the train
from the west there was the Bell Furni-
ture Faotory Band, ofWingham, and the
Blyth Band, and the Harriston Band ac-
companied their lodge. The local lodge,
headed by the Itemised Band, esoorted
the visitors down town whore they dis-
persed for dinner.
At 1:80 the lodges formed for the pro-
cession on Victoria Park and paraded the
principal streets in the following order :-
Major Mallough (Dungannon) and B. Gerry
(Brussels), Marshall&
Brussels Band, 24 men, Capt. Albertson,

The platform meeting begun on the re-

Master presided and upon the platform
were Reeds. Messrs. Hughes and Sellery,
of Winglom ; Rev. W. Smyth, of Har.
mston ; and Bevels. W. T. Cluff, G. A.
Salton and R. Paul, of Brnesele; Messrs.
McAdoo, Mooney, Gerry and othere.
Rev. Mr. Salton offered prayer. Co.
Master Clegg welcomed the Orangemen
and Lady True Blues in a few words and
eulogized the Order and the work done
by them.
Bev. E. W. Hughee was the first
speaker. Ete thought there was a, strong
necessity for Orangeism to -day in North
America. The mistake of granting &
state religion and languaga-and that op.
posed to true Christianity -had been
made and it required a strong arm to
keep it in cheek. Equal rights were not
accorded to all parties. Roman Oatholio
derail property at Guelph was not only
exempt from taxation but hemmed by
grante from the Local Legielature, so he
understood. The British Government
was guilty of miederneanor. Although
the Pope had no position as a ruler of a
nation, yet a Papal Embassy resides at
London, on condition that the Pope
would use his influence in settling the
Irish difficulties, it is said. Our libertiee
have been dearly bought and should be
highly prized. Orengeism is a power
and an honor to the men who will uphold
principle. We can even diotate to the
Governmenti.
A collection was taken at this juncture
for the Protestant Orphan's Home.
A. H. Musgrove, Prinoipal of the
Winghara public school, took for his
topio "The day we oelebrate," and gave a
synopsis of the history of the riee and
progress of Proteetantism in the world.
Be dwelt on the career of William
Prinoe of Orange, and the prominent
part he played. Our constitution etill
lasts after a period of over 200 years and
was broad enough to embrace all sots
and all oreeds. He did not believe in
Home Rule for Ireland and ati a meana of
defence and protection to England the
emerald fele must be held by Britain.
The next geotletnan introdued was
Rev. Mr. Smyth. He congratulated the
brethren on the day and the large repre.
eentation present. If the principles of
Orangeism are firmly grasped it means
love to God, eharity to all and no retail.
&Hort, He had to blush for shame more
than onoe to see Orangemen violate their
principles. But the influence of the
Order is greater to•clay than it ever was
in thin Dominion and if vie are true to
God and ourselves the influence will
widen and deepen. There is a mighty
power opposed to us but no power San
interfere with our rights if we are faith-
ful to one trust. No day can stir up this
Dominion like the 12011 of July, He
wished the Older every encode.
Rev. W. T. °leaf, of Brussels, was the
last speaker. The Orange Order and its
membership luta not deteriorated and ie
better to.day than ever, and was a power
in the Dominion. To make it better
still id must begin at home and break
down all that ia deficit' and evil. The
aggregate ie and will be what the individ.
tiel is, You are loyal to the Queen and
to the country. It is not hard to be loyal
to a woman like Queen Victoria, Was
pleased to See the Lady True Blues pres-
ent Malay and heartily approved of tilde
objects and mime. tVhile opposed to
Roman Catholic doctrine we may learn
many loseone from them, one peonninent
one being the way they core for orpluldi

ing the same work.
Cheers were then given for the Queen,
Governor General and the True Blues
and the gathming was brought to a close.
rod 8011I8e,
Brussels Main street looked gay with
arches, flags and bunting.
Two of the evergreen arches dime to
the ground during the day.
The crowd at Bram:tole WAS variously
estimated at from 5,000 00 7,006.
"Tile light fen tastes" warc tripped at
the Town Hall, Queen's and American
Hotele during the day and evening.
The three lodges of Lady True Blues
were driven in carriages from the station
and in the prodesion and looked very
nioe with their white dresses, badges,
deo.
Exoelleut music; was supplied during
the day by the four Bands present and
although the fifes and drums oadaional.
ly came into collision the Band boys
were very generous with their musics.
The wants of the inner.tnan were at.
tended to by the hotela, Bend dinner at
the Rink, Salvation Army dinner at the
Barracks and thirteen refreshment
stands. The grooers also had a big run.
Everything went off without a Mash
and the day will long be remembered
bore as one of the most intersecting in
the history of the town. Too much
praise cannot be given to the
members of the local lodge and those
who aided them.
Among the many former Brusselites
present during the day we noticed Rev.
W. Stnyth, T. Watson and wife, Mrs. 0.
Ainley, Geo. MoArter, Geo. Love and
family, and J. Sturdy, of Harrieton ;
Rev. B. Sellery, Mrs. 3. MoLauchlin and

A Laorosse match was played on the
Park in the evening between Brussels
and Wingham, resulted in 2 goals to 0 in
favor of the visitors. The Wingham

G. P. Schollield performed the duties of
referee in II very satisfaotory manner.
Oue of the most noticeable bannera in
the procession was a new one carried by
the Walton Lodge that deserves more
than a passing notice. It is 6 feet, 6
inches by 6 feet, 9 inches and was work-
ed throughout by the industrious plying
of the needle by the good ladies of that
locality, the work being chiefly done by
Mrs. R. H. Ferguson, Mrs. Hamilton,
Miss Jane Kelly, Miss Bessie Kelly,
Miss Maggie Hamilton and Miss Maggie
Morrison. In addition to the emblems of
the Order, the portraits of the Queen and
King William and the Union Jade, there
were several verses of poetry on the
banner and all done very neatly indeed.
The Orangemen NM deservedly proud of
their handsome gift.
WALKEsToN.
There was a veu large turnout of
Orangemen at Walkerton Monday to
celebrate the auniversary of the battle of
Boyne. Over 30 lodges took part in the
procession, which numbered fully 2,000
men in regalia. The turnout presented
a fine appearance and was greatly ad-
mired. It is estimated that fully 10,000
people wee on the grounds during the
afternoon. The brethren were received
by Mayor Robertson, of Walkedon. A
very fine and valuable gold jewel was
presented to the county masher, Araby
Todd, which that gentleman thanked the
brethren for in appropriate terms. Ad.
dresses were delivered by Deputy County
Master Cousins, of North Perth ; Mr.
Bothwell, principal of the public school,
Listowel; Bro. Magwood, M. P. P.
North Perth, and by the Rev. Mr. Cam.
eron, of Herriston, and the Rev. Mr.
Walker, of Walkerton. The weather was
beautiful and everything paused of very
pleasantly.
MITCHELL.
The town of Mitchell preeented a gay
appearance Monday in the celebration of
the victory of the Boyne. Numerous
arehes had been erected and the dieplay
of flags and bunting was profuse. Over
the arches mottoes were displayed in
keeping with the occasion, "Welcome to
Mitchell," "For Country and Queen,"
"In Memory of the Glorious and Im.
mortal King William," "In God we
Trust," etc. The local Orangemen com-
memorated the day Sunday by attending
in a body publio worship in Trinity
church. The edifice was peaked to the
doors, while as many fought in ram for
for entrance. An eloquent and ewes.
sive sermon was preached by the rector,
Rev. A, D. Dewdney. Early Monday
morning the lodges from the surrounding
sections began to pour into the town.
Special trams ladeu with Orangemen
and their friende arrived from Goderioh,
Seaforth'50, Mary's and Stratford.
Thirty.five lodges were peasant, and
about 1,400 members celebrated the day.
There must have been between 3,000 and
4,000 visitors. The hotels and churches
did their best to feed the hungry. At 1
o'clock the prooesaion begitn to form a
special feature being the presence of two
lodges of Lady True Bluee, one from

Dr. Macdonald On The
Budget,
The budget debate was resumed by
Dr. Macdonald of Huron, whose com-
mand of the oommeroial and financial
situation of the Dominion and practical
consideration of the intends of the
country makes his speech, s on the budget
valuable contributions to the debates.
With great clearness he presented the
position of this country with regard to
taxation and expenditure ae compared
with that of the 'United States. His de-
fence of the fiscal policy of the Mackenzie
Government was an able one. Speaking
of the development of trade, he denied
that the Maokenzie Government had
done pothing to establish trade with
foreign dandies ; the Liberal party was
eager to widen our markets, but they
were in this respect different from the
Government, that they did not advocate
the maintenance of double walls against
the nearest and largest markets while
travelling over the globe for the most
distant and insignificant. His treat-
ment of the defamation of the Liberal
party„ that 10 10 unpatriotic in eeorying
the country, was very effective. Be read
from speeches. delivered by Sir John Mac-
donald and Sir Leonard Tilley utterances
in which there were pictures of Canada's
oondition and future ae black as any
ever made by a Liberal speaker or writer.
He asked the Ministerialists if their late
leader, the great beam of their party,
was unpatriotio when he made those
criticisms of the country. Surely they
would not say he was, and 11 10 was not
unpatriotic for the Conservative leader
was it worse for Liberal speakers ? Re-
viewing the lamentable defects of tbe N.
P., he showed bow it had failed to keep
the people of this country from emigrat-
ing in thousands to the neighboring
States, how it discriminates against the
poor man and in favor of the rich. He
went through seriatim a list of artioles
of daily use, which in the coarser forms
in which they were consumed or worn by
the working classes were far more severe-
ly taxed than in the finer forms worn by
the rich. The National Policy increased
the prioe of neceasities of life. Taking
up the articles of spades, he ehowed that
the price in Pittsburg was 86 cents for
each spade, while in Gananoque on the
same day it was only 91.16. This meant
that the people. of Canada were paying
about 6310,005a year more than those of
Pennsylvania in consequenee of the ex.
oessive duty. Turning to coal oil, he re•
marked than this article cost 6i cents
113083 11 gallon in Canada than in the U.
8. bemuse of the duty imposed. On a
consumption of 920,000,000 last year the
people of Canada paid 91,300,000 more
for ooal oil than it was worth. The
article of salt was next adverted to, an
article upon which Dr. Macdonald is
well gnalified to speak, for he comes
from the oentre of the salt region. The
salt men were honest men, every one of
them, he knew them all, but the N. P.
bad destroyed their intermits almost en-
tirely. The manufacturers of Ontario
were prevented from sending their salt to
the 'U. S. by the prohibitory duties im-
posed, and they were prevented from
sending it to the Eastern Provinces by
the admission of British salt duty free -
not only British,salt, but salt from Italy,
Spain, Portagal„St. Pierre and elsewhere.
Then the raw material of the salt manu-
facturer, doh, for example, ete coal, was
excessively taxed. Therefore the manu-
facturers were compelled to form a com-
bine in an attempt to save their capital.
The people of Canada had to pay 9600,-
000 nide for their salt than they ought to
pay. Another objection to the National

CRICEET MATCH.
:MUSSELS 05. 5E41'0R111.
A very interesting game of orioket was
played on Victoria Park on Thursday of
last week between the two clubs above
mentioned, and ;although Brussels won
without radii diffioulty some good ex.
hibitions of old English cricket were
given during the day. The home team
went to bat first and before the last
wioket dropped they had a dere of 61.
Of this number El. Dennis contributed
16 in his usual style and the "Irish
Eleven," as A. Godley was characterized,
not only worried the bowlers but added
12 to his credit. 5.. Wileon a,nd K. Mo.

There were 77."goose eggs," the only rod

olosed for 15, not an extra being secured.
In the second innings for Brussels they
scored 52, Mr. Denuis eclipsing his pre -

bowling in this inninge too and found the
wickets of six batsmen. Although Sea.
forth had a big score to oontend against,
almost precluding any °hence of their
winning they retrieved their good name
by a splendid innings palling down the
majority against them from 98 to 25.
Their score was 78 for the 2nd innings.
Roberts and Grigg (a borrowed man)
reached double figures, the former 10 and
the latter 25. The Ross Bros. had the
game largely to themselves as eight of
the eleven were bowled out. Other par-
