Bauoiu long the Oourte will
show up the true inwarduest and
corruption, in many oases, in con-
nection with the election contests of
last Spring. No doubt a great many
eases will be thrown out without
much need of consideration bnt tbo
country will not be elevated any in
the eyee of outsiders by some of the
evidence likely to be produced. It

TREED was 0 time when the pub
ho was foolish enough to imagine
that there was a certain amount of
fairness end sgareneee in athletic
and aquatic contests, but that idea
ie about dissipated, the recent eau
teet between Hanlon and Gaudeur,
at Pullman, doing much to este,
blish the correctness of this concln
lion. .A. month or so ago these
oarsmen rowed over the same course
and Gaudeur won with comparative
ease, although Haulan had declared
be was in firat•cless form. It evid
ently was Gaudeur's time to win.
After a good deal of bluster and
gaginess last Saturday's race was
arranged and Mr. Gauclaur very
kindly rowed a quarter of it mile
out of hie eonree and Hanlon won.
It's a sham all the way through and
people have good cause to believe
that whichever way a man can
make the most money that is the
way the game will go. We believe
Hanlon can row faster than any of
his competitors and it is demeaning
to see him clay the shyster.
THE Listowel Board of Trade ap-
plied to the Grand Trunk authorit-
ies recently for a Saturday exaur-
sion, at single fere, from certain
stations on the two railroads lead-
ing into their town, with a view of
building up trade and helping the
plias. Their request was granted,
temporarily at least. We have no
fault to find with the Lietowel
people as they, no doubt, look out
for No. 1, but we are of the opinion
that no railway deriving a revenue
from all the towns and villages
along the line bag any right to thus
discriminate and endeavor to build
up one town tit the expense of an•
other, and in more cases tlion one
the railway people have leerm it this
lesson by experience. The towns
and villages depend largely on the
local trade, and to hold out indnoe•

of Bruseals Buffering by this ar

nal advantage, but it it is proposed to ex.
tend the States tariff to Canada as re.
spears imports into Canada, then such a
change would be hostile to Eargland and
if the present Canadian tariff were main..
rained for imports other than from the
States, England would bo at a great ad-
vantage in her trade with Canada. I
always believed that the imposition of
high protective duties as againot English
manufauturos was and is the first in the
direction of it separation of Canada from
England, and if goods from the States
aro to bo admitted into Canada freo of
duties or at lower duties than from Eng-
land, another and more serious stop would
be taken in the direction of separation..
If the States and Canada would adopt
free trade or a tariff with low duties, fol,
lowing the example of England, the ex-
ample of tho English-speaking nation
would have a great effect upon other na-
tions and would influence the world in
favor of peace. Tho great tummies of
mankind are war and the tariff. War
and its expenditure and waste give 8,0
excuse for tariffs or render them neces-
sary, and tariffs separate nations and
make war more probable and more fre-
quent. It is a deplorable thing that in
your great and fres continent the only
thing not free is the industry of your
people, and that you in bhis reaped fol-
low the pernicious example of the old and
blind cations of Europe. England seta a•
grand example, and it is always a grief to
me that her children in other lands and
on your continent do notadmireand fol-
low it. Yours, Sc., JOHN Bnfonr.
London, July 25th, 1887.
Jour; Bluaaz's interesting letter on
Commercial Union should be pond-
ered by every citizen of Canada.
He asserts that, next to war, the
protective system is the greatest
enemy of nations, and that Cana -
diens, with all their advantages, are
voluntarily slaves. He makes plain
that the commercial union move•
went is the natural outcome and
sequel of the high tariff, and is only
another step in the line of separation
from Britain, that being the great
one. He seems to think it worth
While to advise Canada to revert to
free trade views. She will do so
some day, but meantime she can
only see one step in that direction,
and that is free trade with the
United States. Here is the letter

On Tuesday the 12th inst., at a barn
raising at Hugh Dunn's on the town line
between McKillop and Logan, one of the
sills fell on Wm. O'Rourke, of the (nth
con. crushing him so severely that it
broke several of his ribs driving them
through the lunge. Medical aid was at
once sent for, and all that could be done
was done but to no avail as death put an
end to his suffering on Wednesday morn-
ing 18th inst. Deceased retained all his
faculties to the last, bore hie suffering
patiently and was quite resigned to the
will of God, gave good advice to his wife
and family and settled bis worldly affairs
and received the last rites of the holy
Catholio church, then passed peacefully
away resigning his spirit to its Creator.
Deceased was 54 years old, was a native
of the county of Galway, Ireland, came
to McKillop 81 years ago and soon after
took a bush farm which by bard toil had
it cleared up and was just thinking the
worst was past and would soon reap the
reward of toil and industry. His death
has cast a gloom over the whole commu-
nity. A hind obliging and unselfish

his own. He leaves a wife and Dight

The Bt. Thomas Journal makes a sav-
age attack on Mr. Larmour, the Assist-
ant -Superintendent of the Southern Di-
vision of the G. T. R., of London, and
accuses him of heartless conduct on the
night of the accident in taking no steps
to bring up the people who were at the
Port. The Free Prsss says :—People in
this city and in Stratford who know Mr.
Larmour as a kind-hearted sympathetic
man, will be surprised at the Journal's
estims a of his character, and will incline
to the opinion that it was formed with-
out accurate knowledge of the facts. He
lost no time in going to the scene of the
accident, and while there did everything
that Boman could do with the resources
at his command. One of his first orders
was issued by himself et the telegraph
key :—"Ib is better that the whole traffic
of the lino from Buffalo to Chicago stand
still than that the people be kept at Port
Stanley one unnecessary five minutes to-
night." It is true that the M. 0. 12.
Superintendent Morford offered the use
of an engine to pull the Port Stanley care.
Supt. Morford himself said he did not
know how many cats would have to be
moved, nor what time it would take to
clear a passage in the yard, and aoneid-
ing thee° things, and the danger that ex-
isted from the undertaking, with the
telegraph wires down and the oenfusian
that existed it was deemed quicker, safer
and more advisable to lend every energy
to the. work of getting the diamond laid
and restoring the line for traffic. That
was what Mr. Larmour did, In speak-
ing of the affair on Tuesday. Mr. Lar.
mour said he had just Seen the Journal
and would say that the writer of the
attack on him did not know what he was
talking about. His whole sympathy was
with the people in the affair, and he
spared neither effort nor expense to
remedy as promptly and thorough as pos-
sible the effects of the disaster.

A. Clarke, of Huntley, Ont., arrived at
Wicaipeg on the Ord !not., with the Land
Explorers excursion, and left the next
day for Carman. That section of the
country pleased him so much that he
only waited long enough to purchase an
improved farm of 161 acres with stock
and implements, and then returned to
Winnipeg. He left for the east on the
following Friday, and will make arrange-
ments ab once to bring his family bore.
Mr. Clark was exceedingly pleased with
the country, and when wonder was ex-
pressed at his so soon making a choice,
said, that he saw what he wanted, and
did not think there was any need to look
further. He intends, it is understood, to
go largely into stock -raising, and is of
the opinion that the Boyne river district
is extremely well suited for that purpose.
Chas. Shaw brought to the Free Press
office, Winnipeg, a sample of wheat, from
the farm of D. W. Shaw adjoining the
town of Brandon, measuring 4 feet 10 in-
ches in length. The sample was a. fine
one and Mr. Shaw says it is from a field
of 160 acres equally good. Mr. Shaw
has been travelling through the Province
and reports the crops very fine every-
where. In the Turtle Mountain district
owing to the early part of the season be-
ing very dry, the grain did not come
along so rapidly as in other seotions
where the rain Dame earlier. He is of
opinion that if the present fine weather
continues there will be considerable
wheat cut in July, particularly in the
vicinity of Brandon. Mr, Shaw's opinion
about an early harvest is corroborated by
a number of farmore who have vieited
the pity during the week.
