SEAFORTH, FRIDAY', Deo. 8th, 1893
East Huron Convention.
We would again remind the Liberals of
East Huron of the convention to be held at
Brussels, on Tuesday next, for the selection
of a candidate. Every polling sub -division
shonld be fully represented. Let therebe a
grand rally, A good convention is a aplen-
did preliminary to a successful campaign,
The Eleotions on Saturday.
The bye -elections for the Local Legisla-
ture, which took place on Saturday, result-
ed differently from what a good many count-
ed oa. Sir John Macdonald is credited
with haning said that there is no human
event so uncertain as to reeults as a politic al
elegtion or a horse race. No doubt the old
veteran was correot. The ,elections wh ich
creened so much surprise occurred in EMI t
Lambton and North Bruce. , These elect ions
were to an vacancies caused by the deaths
of the sitting members. Both eonstituend es,
also, were represented by supporters of the
Mowat Government. in East Lambton
there were two Reformere running, but one,
Dr. McKinnon, was the, norninee of the
party convention, and the other, Mr. Mc-
Callum, came out, profeseedly at least, as
an independent, but it was said he wan the
nominee of the eociety known as the Pro-
testant Protective Association', The Con-
servatives, at their convention, decided not
to:place a candidate in the field, but indi-
rectly determined to support Mr, McCal-
lum, This Mr. McCallum, be it also 'mid,
was a candidate at the Reform convention
f or its nomination, and stood next to Dr.
McKinnon on the final ballot. This being
the case he received the support of a wing
of the Reform party, and the almost solid
support of the Conservative party, and in
this way was erected in a somevrhat close
and uncertain constituency by a majority of
over five hundred. It is possible, however,
that Mr. McCallum's triumph may be short
The opponents of the Mowat Gov-
.
- ernment having accomplished what they de-
sired, viz.: ete split in the Liberal rienks,will,
most likely, at the general elections, bri ng
out a straight party man of their own, and
throw Mr. McCallum overboard, and after
the manner in which he has treated the Re-
formers it is not probable they will take
him up, or that they could secure for hhn a
united support even, if they did. Under
these circurnstancenit is not likely than Mr.
McCallum's Parliamentary experience will
exceed one eession. In the meantime his
eleetion has given tho opponents of Mre
Mowat some little /cane° far cheering and
shoo tin g.
_la North Bruce the aituation was entirely
different. There was.a three -cornered fight
there. This, also, is a close and uncertain
conetituency, sometimes being represented
by a Liberal and again by a Conservative.
The political leenings of the people do not
seem to be vary decided, the personal popu-
larity of the candidate evidently having a
greaten influence than his peliticaI leanings.
At this election the candidates were NI e-
Natighton, Patron of Industry ; qeorge ,the
nominee of the Conservative convention, and
Pierson, the ecnninee of the Reform conven-
tion. Mr. MeNaughton, the Patron caudi-
date, was the firet in the field. At the time
of his nominatiou by the Patrons he wae
President of the Reform'Assaciation of the
Riding, and had he not, been selected by the
Patrons he would, no doubt, have been the
nominee of the Liberal convention. Ho is
ao xceptionally popular man, and in many
respects the Petrone showed excellent judg-
mer.t in their ehoice, The Liberals held a
conventien and nomitieted Mr. Pierson, an
excellent man also. The Conservatives,
finding these two leading -Liberals in the
field opposed to each other, selected as their
candidate Mr. George, their old _etanclard
bearer, Under these circumstances the
general expectation was that the Conserva-
tive, would run in between the other two.
These expectetione, however, were net real-
ized, as the Patrons _stuck their man and
elected him by a majority of four hundred
and ninety-four over the regular Liberal,and
three hundred and fifty-seven over the Con-
servative. In this constituency the Liber-
als made a great mistake in placing a candi-
date in the field in opposition to Mr. Ms -
Naughton. He was first in -the field, and,
arthoughhe had accepted oandidature from
an independent organization, he was, to all
intente and purposes, still one of them-
selvenbeing as good a, Liberal an ever. before,
while the platform of_the Patrons is identi-
cal with the policy of the Liberal party, at
leaat, the difference ie so alight al to be in-
significant. It would, therefore, have been
much more politio on their part had they
simply accepted Mr. MoNaughton's candi-
dature and given him their suppert.
1
As te the general r suit, the friends of
the Government have ittle cause to feel dis-
appointed, nor have their opponents much
came for elation. Both the sumessful can.
didates throughout the contest took good
ore to proclaim themselves as in sytnpatby
witk the Reform cause, and while they both
seemed to feel duty bound to find some
fault with the Government, yet, on the
whole, they showed themselves rather hard
pressed for a grievance, and were constrain-
ed to promise it no factious oppoeition.
That is all a good Government should ask of
any supporter, and if the new representa-
tives from East Lambton and North Bruce
carry out the promises on which they were
elected, the Government will not have much
cause to regret result; nor will it afford
much comfort to the Opposition.
Tariff Reform, Etc.
Tariff Reform, and morA particularly the
Wilson Tariff Bill, is at present monop-
olizing the attention of the American pub-
lic. President Cleveland, in his message to
Coagress at the opening of the session a
few days agoolets forth as plainly as ever his
reasons for thinking that a lower tariff
benefit the *American people. There is
ot even :the suspicion of a baok down.
There is no hedging, no politic shuffling,
simply the straightforward, honest state-
ment of the belief of a statesman and his
reasons for that belief. The Wilson Bill
will immediately occupy the attention of
Congress, and although it may be pared
down to some extent, the consensus of reli-
able opinion seems to be that it will go
through practically in its:present form. One
of the strangest features of the case, and yet
it is easily accounted fonisthat many prom-
inent politicians fear that the' present bill,
if it becomes law, will not provide suffioient
funds with which to administer the Federal
Governmegt. The fact is that the iniquitous
system of indirect takation which has been
in vogue in the neiehboring republic has
encouraged the most extravagant expendi-
ture of public moneY, until the habit of
living et the publie crib has become a chronic
disease in the case of large class in that
country, who will resort to pretty sttong
measures before they will consent to work
for a living as other people do. However,
this is only a difficulty, and right methods
will find a way over or through it. To im-
agine that a wrong add hurtful system is
ineradicable, because lohg established, is to
lose faith in humanity. As an instance of
the reckless way in which money is spent,
the indemnity paid Senators and Congress.
men is $5,000 per year, whereas not one
fourth of the men Who are receiving it ever
mimed, or cnald twin rn rre th A a that
amount outside Of politics. Other offices in
the gift of the state are salaried in the same
proportion, and we think we are quite safe
in saying tbat large imajority of office
holders de not earn one-fourth of their pay
In fact, a man who receives a public office is
looked on as having retired from active life
in order td take things easy. More than
that, the 'majority of theeffices thus held
are entirely ‘iinnecessary, t e second in oom•
mend generally being much more capable of
doing the work than is the chief. So
politics Elmo come to be a profesSion, and
-just so long as it is allowed to remain a pro-
fession will it be impossible to keep it pure,
or seoure an honest and able administration
of public affairs. In this connection, also,
a splendid illustration is afforded of the
beneficial purgative effect a little direct tax-
ation has. Some of -the American papers
suggested that if the Wilson Bill were
passed and failed to raise aufficient revenue,
an income tax might be resorted to. At
once a murmur deep and loud arose from the
business men, and it• took them an infin-
itesimally short time tO find a long list of
mouldering branches in 'the public service,
which might be lopped off, -and euch
calamity averted, Syet probably about half
these men have voted the Republican tiok-
et for fifteen or twenty years, and haven't
been able to see that the Governmeut was
not faultlessly administered along ecenomic
lines, A 'little threat of direct taxatien is a
great eyeopeiter, and the truth tApplies just
as powerfully; to Canada as to the United
States. We would just advise our readers,
before the next Domieion election to shut
their eyes for a little while and imagine
that they have to pay good hard cash out
of their pockets to supply what our Govern-
ment spends, and we thin k there will obffiecae
and elide that will astonish some
holders.
A Coming Man:
Mr. Joseph Martin, ex -Attorney -General,
Railroad Commissioner and Minister of
Education in Manitoba, the recently elected
Representative to the House of Commons
for Winnipeg, is a corning man in Dominion
politica. Mr, Martin, though scarcely in
middle life, has made a name for himself
among Canada's lawyers, and has =gathered
together a fair ortion hif _this world's
goods._ He is nehably a oielf•made man.
Left to fight his own way in the world at an
early age, he became a telegraph operator,
and oon exhibited the pluck and indomit-
able perseverance th are his distinguish-
ing chatacter hake. It is related of him
that when but a lad engaged as an operator
in Michigan, he broke his leg, but as a sub-
stitute could not immediately be got, he sat
at hie key all day with his leg supported ou
a °heir and kept his work right up to the
n otch until a substitute could be found.
While earning his living at telegraphing he
studied to fit himmelf for a school teacher,
and while teaching 'school studied law. After
being admitted to the bar he located in
islienitoba. He soon took a prominent part
in polities, and was for a long time a lead-
ing member cif the Green way Government,
Ile was the head and front of the movement
for railway competition in Manitoba, and it
was his course throughout this trouble, still
fresh in the minds of Canadians, that won
him his sobriquet of " Fighting be Mar-
tin." He was also the framer and intro-
ducer of the -pow world famed Manitoba
School Bill. About four years ago pressure
of businese forced him to retire from the

FELLOW CITIZENS,—At the solicitation of
many friends of both political persuesions,
as well of many independent voters, 1
have decided to offer myself as a candidate
for the Ontario Legielature at the approach-
ing bye -election to fill the vacancy in Emit
Lambton.
I come before you as an Independent Re-
former, advocating reforms which are de-
manded by the people,'animated by a desire
to do my duty to the state, and standieg
firm. for the principle, " Equel eights to all
and special privileges to nom".
In politics I have always been a Reformer;
I am st”.1-a Reformer. If elected to repre-
sent you in Parliament I intend to be the
member for East Lambton, not the elember
for any administration.
I shall certainly support the Government
in all legislation which appeals to my judg-
ment as being for the beet interests of my
constituency and the Province at large.
Being fully persuaded that democracy is
the ideal form of government, I can no long-
er render the blind allegiance to party which
has come to be the aceepted thing in our
polities, tending as it does to centralization
of power and autoortioyethus suppressing the
will of the people.
In the appointment of certain officials I
claim that those who have to pay them
should have a voice in their appointment,
which should be by merit and not by party
preference.
I am opposed to all class legislation to the
detriment of the masses, whether it be to
the advantage of profession, priestoraft or
monopoly. Therefore, I will advocate
the placing of public and separate schools
upon a stroug 'national, non-seotarian basis.
If we are forced to have separate echools
the Government has the right to say what
shall be the standeed adopted, and can in•
shit that the children of out. Roman Catholic
fellowscitizens be given equal advantages
with our own in the way of qualified teach-
ers, Gevernment inspection and in the sub-
jects to be taught.
I appeal to all true Canadian Citizens to
support me, irrespective of party predilec-
tions, not fearing that my record in public
life, with the stand that I have now taken,
will erseure my election, and feeling sure
that what the people want to -day ia not a
voting machine, but a man with convictions
and the courage to express them.
P. D. MCCALLUM.
There is little, if anything, in' either of
the above declarations of policy that almost
any Liberal could not heartily, consistently
and conscientiously subscribe to. In eo far
as the Patrons platform is concerned, as our
-readers know, there -is not a single principle
enunciated, with but one exception, tha t
Tie EXPOSITOR has not contended for for
years, even biddies- the Patrons organization
was thought of, and we know of other Lib-
eral journals that could'say the' tame thing,
The exception alluded to is in respect to the
civil service, While the Patrons advocate
the election of officials such as sheriffs, re-
gistrars, &c., either by the people directly
or by the County Councils, we have always
contended that the better wa would be to
allow the appointment to remain as now,
but that instiad of permitting the .officials
to retain all the fees as remuneration for
their services, that the fees be funded, the
officials paid a reasonable salary, and the
balance be refunded to the respec v e coun-
ties to be used in decreasi lohal taxation.
If this were done we ncy there would be
no great dispute about who should make the
appointments, for the reason that the office.,
instead of being a sinecure as isinow too
often the case, would not be a more desire
able position than hundreds of others that
are open to the people every den.
THE HURON EXPOSITOR
Manitoba, cabinet, and he has since devoted
most of his time to his profession, end little
hu been heard of him in publio since,
but he has qualities which stamp him a re-
markeble man, and it will indeed be strange
if he does not soon become as prominent in
Dominion as he has been' in Provincial poli-
tic.. Mr. Martin is foamless, shrewd, of
indomiteble will and a tireless worker. Ile
will be an exceedingiy veluable acquisition
to his party in Parliament.
What They Profess.
In order to show our readers what little
cause the friends of the Mowat Government
have for depression, or its opponents or the -
unseemly rejoicings which some of their
paper. are indulging in on account of the
result of the East Lambton and North Bruce
elections, we append below the articles of
faith upon which both were elected. In the
first place we give the published platform of
the Patrons of Industry, and in the second
place Mf3 McCallum's election address. The
following is the Petrone platform, upon the
strength of which Mr. MoNaughton repre-
lents North Bruce :
1.' Maintenance of British connection.
2. The reservation of the public lands for
the actual settler.
3. Purity of administration and absolute
independence of Parliament.
4. Rigid economy in every department of
the publio service.
5. Simplification of the laws and a general
reduction of the machinery of Government.
6. The abolition of the Canadian Senate.
7. A system of civil service reform that
will give each county power to appoint or
elect all county officials paid by them, ex-
cept county judges.
8. Tariff for revenue only, and so -adjust-
ed as to fall, as far as possible,- upon the
luxuries and not upon the necessaries of
life.
9. Reciprocal trade on fair and equitable
terms between Canada and the world.
10. Effectual legislation that will protect
labor, and the yesults of labor, from those
combinations and monopolies which unduly
enhance the prioe of the articles produced
by auch combinations or monopolies,
11. Prohibition of the bonusing of. reil-
wags by Government grants as contrary to
the public interest. _
12. Preparation of the Dominion and
Provincial voters' lists by the municipal
officers.
13. Conformity of electoral districts to
county boundaries as constituted for muni-
cipal purposes as far as the,principle re-
presentation hy population
The following is the address which Mr.
McCalJum issued to the electors of East
Lambton

few years in the vicinity of Brantford.
About forty years ago he moved to Huron,
and settled on lot 24, 4th concession, where

was comparatively well read in both sacred
andprofane history. He was honest, up-
right in his dealings, and a kind and oblig-
ing neighbor, He was opposed to modern
ways and cnestomm and lived in primitive -
simplicity and contentment. He favored
the Episcopal form of Protestant faith, and

—Oa the evening of -Thanksgiving Day,
Mr. Zich, McKee, lot 12, concession 5,
Grey, was in the straw house throwing
down feed for his stook when the lantern,
which was resting on a beam, exploded and
in an instant the straw, chaff and hay in an
adjacent mow were in a great blaze. Mr.
McKee saw -there was no chance to extin-
guish the fire, so set about getting stook,
etc., out of the burning buildings, but even
in this attempt he was only partially suc-
cessful. John McLeod, of Howick, was
visiting Mr. MoKee that day,°and was an-
sisting in the chores, having three horses
at the pump watering them when he beard
the cry of 'fire. The cattle and aolts'were
in open stables in the barnyard and were
got out, the colts getting a ecorching in
their escape. The' fire consumed a hinder,
mower, buggy, outter, 3 sets of harness,
fanning mill, turnip pulper, 2 new plows,
1,500 bushels oats, 1,500 bushels turnips,
100 buehel's peas, 50 bushele wheat, 60 tons
of hay, all the straw, eta., etc. lhe barn
was 40 by 60 feet, with strew house at the
rear, joined to the barn, 30 by 60 feet, and
shed on North side 20x40 feet. There was
stone stabling under barn and straw house.
Mr.MOKee's ineuranoe on the buildings was
$600 and $1,000 on contents, in the Howick
Mutual. The fire attraoted a large crowd,
possibly 200 people, from various parts of
the township driviog to the scene. It will
be a carious loss to Mr. McKee, and on ac-
count of the destruction of his barns he had
an auction sale of stook on Friday.
—On Sunday night, the 19th ult., Mr.
Jelin Sheriff, of lot 18, 14th concession of
West Wawanosh, passed home, after e

Mr. Robert Purvis, Reeve of Kinloss, and
ex -Warden of the County of Bruce, who
still survives him. By the union four sons

manhood, and all of whom were present at
the bedside of their aged parent when his
spirit took its flight. His aged partner in
life; who is now over 70 years of age, was
also stricken down at the same time with la
grippe, and was unable to aissist in minis-
tering to her husband, but we axe pleased to

THE LATE ROBERT HUNT. —It is with
sorroW we chronicle in this week's issue,
the death of Robert'Hunt, Esq., Which took
place at his residence, on the 29th ult., in
the 63rd year of his age. Deceased was a
native of Cambridgeshire, England, where
he received his early education. He came
to Canada with his father's family at the age
of nineteen years, and settled in the vicinity
of Kippen abont forty years ago, where he
engaged in the milling binaries' and acquir-
ed considerable wealth. By too close appli-
cation to business his health became so impair-
ed that he found it necessary to retire about
fifteen years ago. The remaining years
have been quietly devoted to the welfare of
his- family. During his long business car-
eer he became well known to a large circle
of friends, who -held him in the highest es --
teem for his honesty and integrity. He has
been connected with St. Andrew's church,
Kippen, since its organization some thirty
years ago, and did much to advance the in-.
terests of. the church. For over twenty
years he was secretary of the managing cones
mittee, and was always ready, Leither per-
sonally or with his means to aid in the gOod
cause. Being a man of considerable cul-
ture and intelligence, his counsel was often
sought and appreciated on matters of im-
portance. The funeral took place on Fri-
day last, and was largely attended. The
eervices were conducted by Rev. Mr.
Aicheson, pastor of St. Andrew's Church,
mudded by Rev. Mr. Henderson, of Hen -
sail, and the remains were interred in
Rodgerville cemetery. The high esteem in
which the deceased was held was well ex-
emplified by the large attendance that
turned out, despite the inclement weather,
to pay a lest tribute of respect to his mem-
ory. He will be greatly missed, and his
aged mother widow end family have the
sympathy of the entire neighborhood in
their sad bereavement. In politics _Mr.
Hunt was a staunch Reformer and a con-
stant reader of the daily Globe, and none
had a better opportunity of knowing Mr. '
Hunt than your correspondent, who came in
contact with him almost daily for many
years, and always found 'him an obliging
neighbor and faithful friend, lelevesys willing
to give a helping hand to these in need. In
1860 he was married to Mies Elizabeth Bell,
daughter of the late Robert Beil, Esq.e and
she, with a family of leer :sons and one
daughter, survives him.

AN USBORNE Bbe HoNoken.—A Sarnia
paper of last week, , makes the following
reference to a gentleman who was a native of
this township, and who is still well known
to many here. It says : " Mr. ' J. B. Bev-
eri dge was, perhaps; the most 'agreeably
and moat numerously surprised man in
i'oiat Edward during the past week. On
Monday evening the officerseind teachers of
the Presbyterian Sabbath school took the
liberty of entering his residence and placing
in hie parlor a handsome oak secretary.
Mr. Henderson euperintendent of the
Sabbath school, isliss Bessie Mitchell, on be-
half of the school, and Mr. A. Kirkland, on.
behalf of the Presbyterian church, then
stepped forward and presented the secretary
to Mr. Beveridge. Mr. Henderson also
read an affectionately worded address, ' in
which it was said that the donors of the gift
!' desire to show our appreciation of your in-
defatigable labors amongst us these many
years past as a Sunday school' teacher, sup-
erintendent and worker in the church.
We are indeed sorry for your departure from
our midst, but as eve know that matters are
not always at our own disposing, we bow to
the will of Him who knoweth what is beet,
and hie ways are the best to follow," 'Mr.
_Beveridge made a feeling reply, thanking
the Sebbath school and members of the
church for the kind words expressed in the
address, and for the valuable and useful
testimonial whieh accompanied it, and ex -
premed the deep regret he felt at parting
from his Point Edward friends. Congratu-
lations followed, after which Mr. and Mrs.
Beveridge entertained their visitors with an
oyeter supper. The remainder of the even•
ing was spent in social intercourse, and as
the visitors had come prepared with a good
musical programme, an enjoYable time was
spent. The next surprise in store for Mr.
Beveridge was on Thursday afternoon, at
four o'clock, when he was enticed into the
principal room of the public school by Mr.
Henderson, and presented with an easy
chair for himself and a rocker for Mrs.
Beveridge, both of which were upholstered
and finished in oak., This presentation was
also accompanied by sn address. Mr. Bev-

Economy in Feeding.
DEAR EgP08ITOR.—This is the great
question with the farmers now for the next
six months, and most of the failures to make
a profit on cows arises from a lack of know-
ledge in this line. Three substances for the
maintainauce of the animal are required in
proper proportions and foods which contain
portions of all three are named balanced -
foods. These three substances are Album-
inoids, which produce tissues and sinews;
Carbohydrates which produces flesh ; and
Fat, which pro'duces fat and fuel to keep the
animal warm. The warmer the stable the
less fat producing food•ie needed to keep the
cow in condition. Feed deficient in ono or
two of thene substanoes will not keep the
cow, in good profitable condition. Give a
men potatoes, meat and bread and he will
live, but let him have losut one of theie three
staple' for six months and what will he look
like ? It is just the same with the cow. A
cow to give milk or make beef will require
2i pounds of Albuminoids,12 pounds of Car-
bohidrates and one half pound of fat each
day. Of this combination it will take 12
pounds to keep up the condition, the re-
mainder going to produce milk or beef, er
else is wasted in the excrements if the eni-
mal does not possess the power to convert it
into milk or beef. Pasture contains these
substancee in right proportions and green
peas and oats are said to come next. Pgive
here the value of different kinds of food as
taken from Hoard's Dairymen', and it would
pay a farmer to take this paper even if he
had to do without his whisky and tobacco
