SEAFORD", IRIDAY,' Dec. 14th, 1894
The Premier Dead.
Sir John S. D. Thompson, Minister of
justice and Premier of Canada,died atWind-
sor Castle, England, on Weclnseday after-
noon last, immediately after having lunched
with the Murquis of Ripon, Secretary for
the Colonies ; Sir Henry Hartley Fowler,
Secretary of State for India, and Mr. Arn-
old Morley, Postmaster General. Sir John
had not been feeling well for some time, and
has long been subject to heart trouble.
Though apparently always cool and eollect-
ed, excitement affected, him keenly and was
often followed by -extreme physical exhaus-
tion, whioh frequently took the • form of
partial .heart failure.
Sir John Thompson left the Supreme
Bench of Nova Scotia in 1885; scarcely
known outside of his own Province, te ac-
cept the portfolio of Minister of Justice in
the Cabinet of Sir John McDonald, and soon
made himself a power in the Government
and in House of Commons. He was knight-
^ ed for his services; in connection with the'
Behring Sea. Arbitration. Since the death
of Sir John McDonald he has stood head and
sheUlclers above every other man in the
Conservative party in abilitya in honesty of
purpose and in statesmanship., His one
great fault has been that, like Mr. _Meredith
in Ontario polities, he has too often allow-
ed the opinions of the " practical politic-
ians" who stuaouocled him, as to party ex-
pediency, to ontsaeigh his own convictions
aa to what was right. The seal of his great-
ness is that, so often standing alone, he has
so seldom doubted himself and the wisdom
of the convictions that had been formed by
honest and earnest thought and: study.
The position ef leader of a political party,
at any -time, is, perhaps, the most trying
that aay man censssay to fill. The measure
of the greatness of the men who essay it is
the fewness of the faults of character that
will he revealed in them. We believe that
s
Sir John Thompson was mistaken in his
policy, but we have never doulsted the
greatness and nobility of his character. MS
death is a national loss.
Who will take his place as Premiea no
one seems to be able to guess. Among
others, Mr. Meredith, Mr. a ggart, Mr.
Foster, Mr. Bowen, a•nd Sir Charles Tup-
per have been mentioned. Of these the first
mentioned is undoubtedly the best fitted for
the position, but there are so many influ-
ences to be reckoned with that it is very
doubtful who will get the place.
The Situation in West Huron.
The Ottawa correspondent of the Mon-
-treat Witness, after relating the circum-
stances which led to the nomination of Mr.
-D, A. Forrester in West Huron as the Pa-
tron candidate, says :
This being the state of affairs, the Sea-
= forth ExPoseroit, a Liberal paper, advises
the Liberals to support Mr. Forrester, the
Patron candidate, who described as an'
active, outspoken Liberal and. as. sound on
all questions of Liberal principle. i" It might
be asked if Mr. Cameron -has not been sound
on questions of Liberal principle and
what has happened that the candidate of
one of the great -political parties in this
country should step aside in favor of a can-
didate of a, new and untried organization ?
It is quite evident that the Patrons will be
divided among themselves by the throwing
over of Mr. Gaunt for Mr. Forrester, and
also by the choice of a manufacturer as
their candidate,
a
The Goderich Signal on the same subject,
says
Our good friend, THE EXPOSITOR, of Sea -
forth, last week endeavored to state the
ease for West, Huron, bat failed to take in
the situation. What good words it said of
the ability and intellignce of Patron candi-
date Forrester are heartily endorsed by the
Signal, but when it says that the Liberals
should tura in aad aapport him as a party,
and that M. C. Cameron should retire, a
false note was sounded. THE F.XPORITOR
claims that the Liberals, not having a can-
didate in the field, it is their duty to stand
by Mr. Forrester, who has alwaye been and
still is (says THE ExPosrroa) a eonsistent
Reformer. Well, as to the consistency as a
Reformer of Mr. Forrester, the Signal has
nothing to say at present, but we emphati-
cally deny that the Patron nominee was
first in the field, as the candidate of a con-
vention. Over a year ago, in the town
hall, Clin(o. in at a convention, where
D. A. Forrester was present, M. C.
Cameron. received the Liberal nomina-
tion for West Huron, by a unanimous vote,
and still holds that nomination. If priority
of nomination,. as- THE E aPOSITOR, contends,
means a pre-emption of the ground, M. C.
Carneron holds the fort, and at the time of
writing the Signal knows of no reason why
he should not continue to hold it.
We have no intention of entering into a
controversy with our contemporaries on the
subject.' There la no peraon who appreciates
more highly the services of Mr. M. C. Cam-
eron to the Reform party than THE Exrose-
TOn does, and we have.no hesitation in say-
iag that there is not a man in the County to
wheal the Reformers owe more than to
himi. He -has fotight and won many -hard
battlea for them, and' it would be the basest
of 'ingratitude for them to turn their backs
up'ea him*, Rat we must take the situation
aa it exists. It is true that Mr. Cameron
received the nominal...on of the Reform Con-
vention of the Riding, but Mr. Cameron
did not then nor has he stuce accepted of o
that nomination.- n tot_ e
candidate -in the field. Rad Mr. (*mem
been in the field as a candidate, or had he
even been the sitting member, and had the
Patrons nominated a candidate against
him, then we think they would have done
wrong, as both parties are, avowedly,
striving -for the same object, viz.: Tariff
'Reform, and by placing two candidatea in
the field, professing the same Trinciplr, the
one is likely to kill the other and the com-
mon opponent will win. But Mr. Cameron
not having accepted the nomination, and
not being a candidate, relieVes the Patrons,
in our opinbin, from the responsibility of
dividing the Tariff Reform forces, should
they be divided. THE EXPOSITOR is in fa-
vor of tariff reform and trade freedom, as
set forth in the platforms of the Liberal
and Patron parties, and it is anxious that
West Huron should declare in favor of
thete principles, as we believe it will if it
gets a. fair chance. We don't care who car-
ries the banner, whether Liberal or Patron,
so long as it is borne to victory. That it
will be borne to victory if the Tariff Reform-
ers keep their forces •intact, we have no
4.1oubt, but if they divide, by placing two
candidates in the field, the result may be
easily foretold.
Sir Richard Cartwright5
We need scarcely say that Tun Exrose-
TOR heartily endorses every word of the
following, which we take from the London
Advertiser :
A well-informed Oxford county contem-
porary says that thefeeling in favor of re-
electing Sir Riehard. Cartwright as M.P. for
South Oxford, steadily grows. We are
glad to hear it. It would Ire a misfortune
to the country if Sir Richard Cartwright'
were to be moved either to retire from pub-
lic life or to be compelled, by a combiner
tion fostered by his political opponents, to
spend time in the constituency that in a
general election °campaign could be better
devoted to the promotion of sound political
principles elsewhere.
The country cannot have in Parliament
to45 many men of Sir Richard Cartwright's
ability, incorruptibility, independence of
character and sound statesmanship. A con- °
stituency is honored through being repre-
sented by a man who has so valiantly stood
up for the interests of the people at large
when menaced by the capitulation of his
opponehts to the selfishaess of a corapara-
tively few. Through all these years Sir
Riehard has been fighting against monopoly
rule, and now that_ its citadel is, about to
be macle to surrender, by the general preva-
lence of the views regarding the correct
principles of public taxation of Which the
veteran member for South Oxford has been
ene of the chief exponents, it would be tip -
grateful, if not worse, for any true friend bf
genuine trade freedom to auggest a change
of representative. - That a change is likely
we do hot belieee. There is too much good
sense in the banner Liberal county \of the
West.
The Opposition Leader Recants.
It would almost seem as if the Opposition
leadership is too high an altitude for Mr.
Marter and that his elevation has made him
lig ded. A couple of weeks ago we re-
ferred to his a titude on the Separate school
question as shown\ y his second speocli.dur-
ing the London lection' campaign. Mr.
Matter delivered nother speech a few even-
ings ago at a Con ervative-meeting in Tor-
onto. In this eech he takes back all he
said at London and none urging that the
Separate seh ls should be allowed to live
in peace, a that the agitation in opposi-
tion to th m should be abandoned. He has
got new/ ight since he spoke in London and
now:says that Separate schools are guaran-
teed by the' constitution, and can not be
abolished.. It is strange that it has taken
Mr. Matter so long to find this out. He
seems to -be either a -political trimmer or a
man who can be turned in any direction by
others who are stronger in the upperstorey
than he is. Lest we may be accused of
misrepresenting Mr. Marten we quote his
own words as reported in the Mail. Here
they are :
" He had gone as far as be had on the
Separate school question itt London in all
sincerity, believing that he was right. (Ap-
plause.) Many of those who had at first
opposed these schools now silently ac-
qaiesced in their main•tena.nce, and this was
a large feature with which they had to con-
tend. He had•declared himself to be ready
to abolish them if it could be -done, but the
question arose, could it be done ? From in-
formation he had since obtained be believed
it wao unfortunately utterly impossible to
abolish them. Then iU this was the case,
was it worth while keeping up the agitation
for their abolition ? (Hear, hear.) Also if
Separate School Boards did not wish their
teachers to possess the same qualifications
as Pablic school teachers, was it worth-
while trying to force.,it down their throats ?
They bad also been fighting for twelve years
for the sanie system of inspection and the
same text -books, and what progress had
been made ?" •
On the temperance question Mr. Marter
is equally vascilating. In his first speech
at Loedon he declared himseW in favor,
persoeally, of as large a measure of Prohi-
bition as the constitution will permit the
Legislature to enact, but he said he only
spoke for himself and would not bind his
followers. In: his second speech be went
one better and made the somewhat hold . as-
sertion that if his party would not follow
-him on this qnestion they 'would have to
select another leader. Now, however,' in
his more recent Toronto speech he takes
this all back and declares :
"He used possibly to be foolish -on the
temperance question. He had a right to ex-
pect the temperance men to stand by him -
on the occasion of the London election, but
they had not dmie so, and while he would
not back down one iota from his position in
regard to temperance, he thought it would
be a foolish thing for the Conservative party
to trust for success bathe future to the tem-
perance party of the Province of Ontario.
He was glad that those who were interested
in the liquor business had more faith in the
Conservative party than in the others."
Stich is Mr. Marter, the new leader of
the Coneervative party in the Ontario Legis-
lature. One day one thing and the next
day something else, just to suit circum-
stances. He is to be pitied more than
blamed, although since the London election
his opponents have shown him more lenien-
cy than his political friends. The people of
Ontario may wel feel thankful that the des:
tinies of this fai •Province are not at the
mercy of such a party leader. Mr. Mir-
ter's position is, no doubt, very accurately
diagnosed by the Toronto Telegram when it
says :
" No effective policy for a Provincial Op-
osition will harmonize with the interests
f the Dominion Government. The whole is
overnnieit-te os -the whole -an
the Ontario Opposition as the pert; tho lat-
ter must always giVe way. A.n Opposition
letder at Toronto must learn that there is o
time for speech old a time for silence. The
DoMinion Government graciously permits
him to talk -when'•it cannot be embarrassed,
by his conversation. When Opposition
silence at Toronto is profitable to the Con-
servative leaders at Ottawa, Mr. Marter's
duty as a good party man is to shut up, and
as a good party man he subsides."
Mr. Martel. and his followers at Toronto
are simply the creatures of those higher in
authority at Ottawa. It is all very well to
inveigh against Separate schools and pro-
claim in favor of Prohibition in a Provincial
election, when Mowat is to be beaten, if pos.%
Bible ; but when a Dominion election is
shortly to come on, and this " no popery
and Prohibition " talk is likely to tell
against the party in Dominion politics, the
Provincial leader is ordered to,.turn himself
outsid-e in, and he does so accordingly, with
as much expedition as possible. Is this the
'kind of rulT the people of Ontario desire for
their Province ? If not, they had better
stand true to the Grand Old Man, who, for
nearly a quarter of a century, has dealt
justly and generously with all classes and
creeds.
Notes and Comments.
Mr. Marter Seems to have become a mar-
tyr to party exigency. His strong point
Was supposed to be his sturdy independence.
But like many another independent follower
of moderate calibre,When placed in a leader's
place he developed with amazing rapidity
into a political trinimer-a vote hunter of
the worst -kind.
* *
The Conservative papers have been pitch-
ing into the temperance people.of London in
the most headlong fashion; because they did
not support Mr. Essery. They surely have
not paused to reflect, or they would not
condemn themselves out of their own
mouths. Mr. Hobiss pledged himself to
support any legislation that might be
brought in by a Government pledged to give
prohibition legislation if it is within their
powers to. do it. Mr. Essery'ls, he says-,
an out and out prohibitionist, but he would
undoubtedly have supported the party
through thick and thin,- whose leader at the
first check has thrown prohibition over-
board. Under these circumstances almost
anyone would be led to think that the ac-
tion of London prohibitionists, in support-
ing Mr. Hobbs, was fully vindicated.

We suppose the Hamilton .Templar. will
be wonderieg Where its joshua is at. Evi-
dently he is fonder of gathering manna in
the wilderness than of leading the children
-of Belial into the Promised land.

The Earl of Jersey„ who waa the Imperial
representative at the Colonial Conference,
has reported favorably tb the .resolutions
adopted by that body, but the London press
seems to be unanimously of the oPinion that
there ia Ms likelihood that Great Britain
Will ever fall in with' the .preferential cus-
toms scheme. Hon. John 'Haggart, how-
ever, recently stated in a speech that Great
Britain wonld enter into such an agreement.
* *
It is reported that Japan is preparing for
an immediate movement on Pekin and. the
war will likely be over in three monthas
Julian Ralph, the correspondent of dlarper's
Weekly, says there are thousands of effi-.
cient troops in the Southern Provinces of
China; but the Viceroys in the South won't
move a finger to help the North. They
say it- is -none of their affair -let the North-
erners look -after their Own Provinces. He
further says. that China cannot be called
a nation: It is simply a conglomeration of
Provinces with ne bond of sympathy, held
together by the ruling class,' Who are really
foreigners, simply for their own profit.

*
As will be seen by our ,Gounty Council re-
' s
port, the contract for the erection of the
House of Refuge for this county has been
awarded, and the place -should be ready for
occupancy before the rigors of another win-
ter set in. It will be twenty-one years nekt
January since the first move in the Huron
County Council was made to have a House
of Refuge, so that the agitation is pretty
nearly of age. The question hae been up ,
at nearly every session of the Coentya Coun-
cil since then, and it is gratifying that the
prospects for the completion of the work are
now so favorable. We &ink we are safe in
saying that none are entitled to greater
credit for this result than,Reeve Proudfoot,
of oderich. In season and out of season
he has been its firm _advocate in the Coun-
cil, until at length he wore aut all opposition
and carried. his point, thus showing what
•,
perseverance and 'persisteney will accom-
plish. Of course he was ably backed up by
others, but for several years he has been the
leader -of the movement, and in mentioning
this fact we only give credit where credit is
due.

Girvin (who -is well known as the popular
first deputy -reeve of Ashficld, and ale° an -
enterprising dealer in cattle and sheep)
thirteen splendid Iambs, which on being
weighed on the Dungannon market weigh
scales, averaged a little over ,,137* pounds
each. •
-One day recently a large deputation
waited on Archibald Hislop, of Grey town-
ship, and -presented him with a requisition
signed by over 250 electors, asking that b.,e
be a Candidate for the reeveship-of the town-
ship at the forthcoming election„_and pledg-
ing him their hearty support. Mr. Hislop
thanked the deputation for the honor they
had done him, and gave his consent to enter
the field.
-One eveninv:ecently, some one entered
the premises of Mr. Robert Atitterson, 2nd
(ioncession of Hullett, while he was away,
and stole therefrom nearly $60 and a silver
watch. Having a strong suspicion as td
who the guilty party ' was, the services of
Constable Wheatley were secured; who
learned enough to warrant hini in making
an arrest, but the supposed guilty party has ,
skipped out, and is so far at liberty.
- Mr. John Elliott, of Dungannon, is one.
of the farmers who have fully tried: the
feeding of wheat and other grains to his
stock, and he finds it quite profitable. A
lot of hogs, sold the other day, realized him
at the rate of 80 cents a bushel for his
wheat, which is a much higher price than
the grain itself is likely tb brine. He says
he has not sold a bushel of wIfeat on, the
market in two years. .
- One afternoon lately, a young. English
lad living at the home of a family near
Auburn, through fear of receiving a whip-
ping, ram away to the barn and hid himself.
He was found next morning with both legs
frozen abo've the knees, and. has sincebeen
lying in a precarious condition. The young
lad is an English orphan and much sym-
pathy is extended to him ia his misfortune,
as it is thought by some that he has not
been any teo well treated by his employers.
-A young horOe belongingto Mr. ClaCk, of
the boundary of .Hibbert emd Usborne,
made things lively in Exeter -on Mondety of
last week, The aniMal took fright while
standing in front of the town hall, and run-
ning down street, turned ia at the archway
of the Central hotel. Here it fell, crushing
one of the buggy wheeis. Regaining its
feet the horse ran into the hotel yard and
after smashing several buggies it came tOa
-One evening recently an affair occurred
not far from Londesboro, that calls for some
action by the authorities. A young girl
was left alone in the house, with a younger
sister, when a, man came and demanded ad-
mittance. The girl bolted both the front
and back doors, and refnsed to admit the
man, who continued to hang around for
soine time, in the effort to annoy her. The
man wore a grey coat, soft hat, and had a
dark horse, with a straight-backed cutter.
The circumstance so frightened the girl that
she has since been suffering with nervous
prostration, and is even now under the doc-
tor's care.
-Two of those pleasant events that al-
ways create a ripple in social circles, took
place on Wednesday of last week in Grand
Bend, the first being the marriage of Mrs.
Ann Oliver, only daughter of Mr. Robert
Pollock, ef Grand Bend, to ,Mr. Robert Ridley,
of Granton. The cdremony was performed
at the residence of the bride's father by the
Rev. S. A. Carriere, who is always willing
to assist on such happy occasions. Mr.
Carriere had scarcely time to eat a piece of
turkey, for another couple were waiting on
him at the Manse, in the persons of Mr.
Noah Steffins and Miss Maggie Disjardine,
to be joined together in wedlock ; this be-
ing easily performed, the young couple
started for their beautiful home on the
flats. We all join in wishing both couples
long life and. happiness.
- -Another of the old pioneers of Huron has
gone to his last resting place: We refer to
the late Mr. John McBeath, of Stanley, who
departed this life on Sunday morning of
last week, at the ripe old age of 74 years.
Mr. McBeath was a native of Perthshire,
Scotland, and came to Canada in 1856, with
his wife and family, when he settled on the
farm where he lived until the time of his
death, and by industry and careful man-
agement hewed out a comfortable home for
himself and' family. His wife died two
years ago. The family are all living and in
comfortable circumstances his daughters
being Mrs. McDougall, of Oak Lake, North-
west Territory, and Mrs. Reid; of the 2nd
concession of Stanley ; Alexander, the eldest
son, ;lives on the next farm to the old
homestead ; Duncan, in British Columbia,
and Walter, on the homestead. Mr. Mc -
Beath was a member of •theBrucefield Pres-
byterian church until the time of his death,
and a regular attendant at the means of
grace, which he cherished up to the last,
placing his' hope in a risen Saviour. In
politics he was a staunch Reformer. The
funeral, on Tuesday afternoon, to Baird's
cemetery, was very largely attended.

pose, apd escorted to the council room, and

was very pleasantly spent here. The meet-

the toWn hall being well filled, but not

very strong one from an oratorical
point of view, and although each one put
his case very plausibly, it did not seem aa if
