Tun very pertinent question is asked,
but as yet no answer has been given,
Why was the question of Prohibition not
made one of the testa at the recent elec-
tion in Cardwell ? We are just afraid
that with too many professing strict ad-
herente to the temperance cense it is
only a secondary consideration when
politics comes to the front. In that
event it is policy and polities ahead of
principle.
To the uninitiated the'spranks" played
in Chicago grain deals is enough to wheatcause
was
astonishment. The other day
quoted at 85 cents but it was boomed un-
til it reached $1.00, amidst the greatest
excitement. Some man world no doubt
make thousands of dollars and just as
many more will drop their little pile to
a similiar amount. The probabilities
appear to hs that the grain market will
hold up fairly well and that floor will
take a move upward. The failure of the
wheat crop In so many countries will
likely rause a good run on this very es-
sential commodity and the farmer or
the country in whose granaries or ele-
vators the supplies aro will reap the
benefit.
THE School Board is fully aroused to
the necessity of children from the ages
of 7 to 15 years patting in the number
of days required by law in attendance at
school, viz. 100, and are making str it
inquiry and giving all possible oppor-
tunity for parents and guardians to at.
tend to this important matter without
recourse to law. In almost every town
and village, and Brussels is no exception,
there are dozens of children either about
half the time absent or attending so 10.
regularly that they cannot be expected
to make any advancement in their stud-
ies. Boys and girls soon grow up and
if their education is neglected in their
childhood days it is often a matter of
regret all the rest of their life. We hope
this reminder will stir up the negligent
so that the trustees will be saved any
trouble on this point.
Br reference to au item in another
column it will be seen that the Guelph
people have taken a step forward in the
question of the extension of the C.P.R.
from that city to Goderich and have
thereby done what they declined doing
a few months ago. It will be well for
our Railway Committee to bo on the
alert and keep themselves posted on the
steps taken. While there wore three
proposed routes before the meeting it is
generally understood, although some of
the people of other towns don't like to
admit it, that the northern route is the
best by all odds, and when the line is ex-
tended there is very little doubt but the
C.P.R. will see that it is to their advant-
age to come this way. The shippers of
this and other towns on the G.T.R. are
finding it almost impossible to secure
cars. This and the reducing of freight
and plssonger rates wou'd be some of
the advantages to be gained from a com-
peting line of railway.

411,, The uutriea are mad( in good time',
and not rushed in at the lust minute and
often at great inoonveuionoe to the Sec-
retary, 6th, There are scores of exhibi-
tors who fail to secure prizes on every-
thing they show, but they don't get their
back up, but go again next year and push
all the harder to take the place they
think they deserve. 010, The towns-
people in many places back up the show
and make it attractive by tasty arrange -
meat of goods in the various lines repre-
sented,and are on hand on show day,
with a pleasant countenance, to adver-
tise their business. These aro a few of
the elements of how to have a successful
show, and we fancy that the most of the
points touched on is where the great lack
is in the East Huron Exhibition. It is
too late to remedy affairs for this year
but let us rouse up and look after it an-
other year in time and give our cordial
support to the Board of Directors and
put our show where it used to be—one of
the best in Huron. $500 to $360 was no
unusual sum to take at the gate for ad-
mission 111 the past and this proves that
the people aro within reach if a taking
bill of fare is presented. There has been
a good deal of talk about a naw park and
infusing new life, do., but talk will never
accomplish the work. It may be good in
its place but a united spirit of work is a
hundred fold bettor.
WE quite agree with a contemporary
in the following :—If the Senate of the
United States were to succeed in getting
a duty put upon eggs the Canadian hen -
owners would very soon be convinced
that continental free trade would be a
good thing for them. The fact that there
is no duty upon Canadian eggs going into
the United States, while there is a duty
upon nearly every other natural product
of Canada, has made the Canadian ex-
port trade in eggs to the 'United States
eecond only to that of barley and lumber,
If the threat of the United States Sena-
tors to put a duty on eggs could bo oar-
ried out, but, fortunately, it cannot, this
trade would be ruined. There is no rea-
son why Canada should be a great egg-
produoing country, excepting for the de-
mand from the large American cities to
the loath of it. Free trade would do for
the grain and fruit growers, and the
cattle and horse raisers, exactly what it
has done for the poultry raisers, it would
give them a, large and it profitable market
for all they Could produce.
Qt'' erlera1 ,raves -n,
Cardinal Moran now talks about Aus-
tralia fighting for legislative freedom.
The Oswego Thermometer Company,
of Oswego, are anions to establish a
branch in Canada.
The harvest of the onion -growing belt
of the Hudson River is by far the largest
ever gathered and will probably aggre-
gate 1,500,000 bushels.
The old black walnut cradle, in which
Benjamin Franklin spent many hours in
the year 1706. is on exhibition at the fair
in Westchester County, N.Y.
Louis, King of Portugal, ie seldom to
be seen without a cigar, and he convers-
es fluently in English, French, Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, German and Swed-
ish.
The Moorish Government has refused
to comply with Portugal's demand that
the Portugeuse flag be saluted in repar-
ation for an inenit to the flag at Port
Laraicbe. Portugal threatens to send a
man of war to obtain satisfaction.
The Bombay police recently discover-
ed that a secret traffic in arms and am-
munition was being carried on with the
Afghanistan frontier tribes. Four .M-
ghane engaged in the traffic were senteuc-
ed to two years' imprisonment eaoh.
Amnia does not need to be told, if
they have attended some of the township
or riding shows, that unleee the Direct-
ors make somo move in the way of
attraction their annual gatherings will go
to the wall, as far as attendance is eon -
corned at least. The railroads run such
cheap excursions to the big exhibitions
land there is so much to bo soon outside
of the ordinary exhibits that thousands
upon thousands go every year. While
Ivo don't believe in copying these ex-
hibitions in everything there are lm -
portant points that would bo well to note.

A Canadian Club has been organized
at Rochester, and the following officers
chosen :—Preeident, E. W. Montgomery;
Secretary, Dr. L. E. MoC. Pomeroy ;

Stewart, Josiah Sullivan, T. W. Woodall,
E. W. Montgomery and Dr. Pomeroy.
The resolution offered last Tuesday by
Mr. 'Blair, calling on the President for
information in the matter of the trial,
conviction and execution of Riel for high
treason in Canada in 1885, was taken up
in the Senate and a long statement in re-
ference to it was made by Blair, who
based the resolution on the ground that
Biel was a naturalized American citizen.
The resolution was referred to the Com.
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The prisoners of the Michigan State
Penitentiary have hit upon a new scheme
to show to their visitors the degree of
esteem etch one is held in by the prison
authorities. They have petitioned for
the privilege of wearing a gray suit as a
badge of good behavior. The conditions
were prepared by the prisoners them-
selves, and have been accepted by the
officers. To entitle a prisoner to don the
gray, he must sign a special agreement to
implicitly obey all the rules and regu-
lations of the prison, in spirit as we11 as
in letter, and must for six months have
received the highest possible rating for
behavior.
The young Emperor William, is mak-
ing it exceedingly hot for his people. He
gets out of bed at a time when the early
bird is supposed to get in its work on
the worm, marches hie Berlin regiments
for several miles, and with watch in
band times their movements. Even his
little sons are pet through military mau-
mnvres under the supervision of two
soldiers. For what good it may be ask-
ed ? That ruler 0 the wisest who turns
bis attention to the industrial develop-
ments of his empire and not to the mil-
itary phase of it only. The people of
Germany appear to- have good ground
for alarm over the odd conduct of their
sovereign. It would be a better sign if
he should get up at 5 or 4 o'clock in the
morning and try his hand at the plow,
instead of galloping his regiments hither
and thither.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, of Cot, 2nd,
says : John Teemer, the oarsman, com-
pleted arrangements yesterday prepar-
atory to Bailing for Australia in not less
than one month, and probably about
Oetobar 15. He has deoided to go, being
anxious for a race with Kemp; and any
other oarsman over there who may have
the courage to measure blades with him.
He will back himself, and will taloa
Flamm and two boats along with him.
He means bueineee now in reference to
the Anetraliaet trip, and will only delay
it for a week or two in the event of
O'Connor showing courage enough to
row him. If not ho will drop the idea
until he returns, hoping that the Can.
adfan oarsman may rntster courage for
a go in tho meantime, He has but ono
engagement ahead of the Australian trip,
and that is the 72 hours' machine scull-
ing race at New York, which will Iceep
him in good training, and will allow him
to leave on the 15th. Ho was in Pitts-
burgh on Saturday in consultation with
a gentleman who is interested in him,
and went home to arrange 10 start for
New 'York yesterday morning, g000e0

THE BRUSSELS POST
Ca�'d oI TVauks.
Mits. F. C. Roonns begs to thank; the
Ladies for the large amount of patronage
accorded her last week during the days
of our Millinery Opening. Every Lady
who paid us a visit pronounced it to be
without exception the finest display ever
seen in Brussels. Owing to the large
crowds during our opening days some
Ladies may seemingly not have received
proper attention, if so we owe them 1111
ample apology and hope with our beauti-
ful display, which will be continued the
Whole month, to receive the orders from
those Ladies who have not yet made their
purchases.
Nina GREEN, our obliging and tasteful
Milliner, feels justly proud of the high
enconiums passed on her and for which
she begs to return every Lady her sincere
thanks. -
