IIf1RON REFORiIERS. 11 l' A CoNVENTioN for the East Riding of �$ Huron will be held in the Town Hall, it Brussels, on Tuesday, December 121b, commencing at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of ohooslog a candidate to carry the Liberal banner in the next election to the Looal Legislature. Five delegates are expected from each polling sub- division. TIie blank certificates have been forwarded to the Chairmen of the various Municipalities. There should be u a large attendance. 14 �s! n rf 01 r) r> ni h tr a4 an o1 ie fat' k h 'dl of it becomes more apparent every year 1i1{. as a better class of residences are being hi erected in this section. We are inform - ea Ch' vb 'or lei ills Yadustries may result in as much benefit to lei the community as those of more pre. lei tensions. We have referred to this matter more than and before and we believe an effort was made by'o'ne of oar townspeople to secure the yard on the Shiel farm bat satisfactory arrangements could not be arrived at. What about another trial ? Tug POST is firmly of the opinion that if our grain and produce buyers allow the farmers to come to the market and offer their pith, grain, hay, Stn. for sale or ar- range terms for purchase, that mush more good will accrue to Brussels and very likely better satisfaction to the seller. The keeping up of a good market is essential to the growth and prosperity of every town but if the plan spoken of above continues there will nob be any. thing to either buy or sell in a short time. Brussels has, and does today, hold the first plane in Huron County for good prices with very little fluctntation and we hope it will continue to do so. A GOOD brickyard is one of the neces- sary industries of Brussels and the want ed that in various localities near by good clay can be obtained for brick and tile making. If this is so and a good demand for both exists why should there not be money in it for some enterprising citizen having a few hundred dollars to invest 7 The developing of a number of small in• �riri we in Chi '1i we ee ' pat see 301 to ;hat the.

LAST Saturday elections were held for vacant seats in East Lambton and North Bruce in connection with the Local Legislature. In Lambton Dr. Mol 1nnon was the Government candidate and Mr. McCallum, also a Liberal and a member of the P. P. A., his opponent. The Con- servatives supported Mr. McCallum. He was elected by 403. The fight in North Bruce was it three cornered one. Pier- son, Reform ; George, Conservative ; and ittcNaughtor, Pa tron of Industry, taking a hand in the fray. The Patron candi- date got there with a big majority, about 857. Mr. McNaughton has always been a Reformer but differs with the Govern. ment on some planks in the Patrons plat- form. These elections and the Winni. peg turn over appear to indicate that a more democratic spirit is taking hold of the electors and with the new combi- nations at work the old reoorda will hard. ly be safe landmarks to guage the coming Provincial and Dominion elections. Ili the local oolamns of Tog Peer this week may be found a letter from the Postmaster General's Department in re. sponse to a largely signed petition of business men in Brussels asking for in• creased mail facilitiestastward in which he Saye a teat has been made at our poet - office for a week relative to the number of letters which oould be forwarded on the noon train and I8 was the result. We have no reason to doubt this state. meat but it will be a matter of surprise' to many that swell is the case as we imagined that more than that number a ealday would be forwarded if a mail were Gei • parried. On the queetion of outlay for pry conveyance of mail to and from brain y $25.00 per annum is stated as the in. crease whish is a mere bagatelle. We bold that Brussels fe entttled to this extra service and that mail carried on the noon train would be a great eon- venience to the businees people here, More than that Ethel, an enterprising Village of 400 or 500 inhabitants, and At. WA a village of 500 or 800 populaation, have received this servioe, tho closed mail bags being oared for by the baggage man until Listowel is reaobed. Were the mail is assorted and forwarded, via Stratford Eastward. Surely Brunette Should be entitled to the same consider- ation at its neighbors in the Last, We wonder if a test was made at Ethel and Atwood for a week before the increased expense was incurred ? It is 00 be hoped our application will be re•oonsidered and Bu nor his tht fro, NS ask I . het wit sal fan, am trig in j ing • 0130 all, hay telt eon the request acceded to in the near future as it would mean the saving of hours in the forwarding of mail matter to Toren. to and other important points. Was the letter box at the railway station taken into aeoouat in the enumeration ? Plraernsrts CnnvgnAsn in his message to Congrese maybe out e clear out Course toward tariff reform and purposes making e strong effort to have raw materials brought in free to the U. S. He pur- poses opening up a program of retrench. meab by reduoiug the army, closing down operations in the extensions of the navy, striking off a host of fraudulent pension. ere and making civil servioe reforms that will Bet things jingling. Elis manly sentiments are bound to carry weight with them and closer trade relations with thie Dominion may be the result, Presi- dent Cleveland saysI— ..Our relatione with Great Britain have been treated in a spirit of friendliness, Negotiations are in progress between the two Governments with a view to such concurrent notion as will make the award and regulations agreed upon by the Behring Sea Tribunal of Arbitration practically effective, and it is not doubted that Great Britain will oo•operate freely with this country for the accomplish• meat of that purpose. The dispute out of the disoriminating tolls imposed in the Welland Canal upon cargoes of cereals bound to and from the lake ports of the United States was adjusted by the substitution of a more equitable schedule of charges, and my predecessor there- upou suspended his proclamation impoe. ing discriminating tolls upon British transit through our canals. A request for additions to the list of extraditable offences covered by the existing treaty between the two countries is under con. sideration. After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly before us. Nothing so important claims our attention, and nothing so clearly presents itself as both SE opportunity and a duty ; an opportun- ity to deserve the gratitude of our fellow citizens, and a duty imposed upon us by our oft -repeated professions and by the emphatic mandate of the people. After full discussion, our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform, and they have confided the work of its accomplish. ment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it. Nothing should interfere to distract our attention or die. Curb our effort until this reform is ac. oomplished by wise and careful logiela- tion. While we should staunchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of revenue justifies the imposition of tariff duties and other Federal taxation and'tbat they should be limited by strict economy, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown up among us which, in justice and fairness, call for desoriminating care in the distribution of such duties and taxation, as the emergencies of our Government actually demand. Manifestly if we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform one of its most obvious featuree should be a reduction in present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life. Not lees closely related to our people's prosperity asd well being is the impor. Cation of the raw materials necessary to our manufacturers. The world should be open to our national ingenuity and enterprise. This cannot be while Federal legislation, through the imposi. tion of a high tariff forbids to American manufacturers as cheap materials as those used by their competitors. It is quite obvious that the enhancement of the price of our manufactured prodoote, resulting from this policy, not only con- fines the market for these products within our own boarders to the direct disadvantage of our manufactures but also increases the cost to their -own citizens. The new German Methodist ohnroh at Milverton was opened on Sunday. Ser- vices were held in the morning in Ger. man, and afternoon and evening in English, Bishop Bowman, of Chicago, offioiating. The Biehop's discourses were interesting and inetruotive, and were listened to • with rapt attention. The services in the other aharohee were with. drawn, and the beautiful edifioe was orowded on all three occasions. The building Dost 50,000 and is a credit to the town. It has a seating capacity of 300 people. The tower and large bell add greatly to the appearance of the structure. The oolleotione and subscriptions during the day amounted to 51,600. This leaves 5900 to be raised to clear the ohuroh from all incumbrances. Amongst others the following were present :—Bishop Bowman, of Chicago ; Rev. Jos. Umbaoh, presiding elder of the district ; Rev. John Ray, Rev. A. W. Tonga and Rev. Mr. Dierlamm, residing ministers ; Bev. Theo. Hauch, Hanover ; Rev. F. Meyer and RevE.
