The attendance, therefore, was not as largeas on some former occa- sions, but still there was a good crowd. The show, in every department, was good. The only department that could be considered at all light was that of roots. The 'speeding contests were well conducted, and formed one of the interesting features of the show. On the whole the show was very successful, and had the weather been favorable there would have been the usual large crowd pres- ent, as Exeter ha3 always been noted for having the largest attendance at its annual shows of any place in the county.

(From the Mail and Empire.) 1 The stalwart Liberal who calls for Gov- ernment situations all round, and wants to know if the Ministers suppose the party men have been fighting "for the fun of, the thing," oughtto be satisfied with what is going on in Manitoba. There was oL course a good deal of heavy campaigning in that province during the months of May and June. When the struggle was over, Mr.' Laurier appears to have assumed that the Manitoba leaders would quietly, and as a matter of party loyalty, concede in fact, if not in name, the Separate schools which they had denied during the contest, but which he had promised in his Quebec speeches. He found, however, that there was a trifling formality to be observed. The local statesmen had not been fighting "for the fun of the thing," and ft, was absolutely necessary that they should be squared. Mr. Sifton has, with Mr. Greenway, held the key to the situation. It is a question which of the two is the stronger. Possibly on this subject they have equal powers. Mr. Greenway could undoubtedly -make it uncomfortable for Mr. Sifton if he effected an independent bargain. On the other hand, Mr. Sifton could wreck Mr.Greenway were he to attempt to sell out without the advice and consent of his colleague. ,Under these circumstances the one is a check upon the' cupidity of the other, and har- monious action is necessary‘ennhat terms they have reached as betwenfe themselves public report of course does not say. But they have, it appears, advanced towards a. bargain with Ottawa, the conditions being the Interior portfolio 'for Mr. Sifton as the price of his convictions, and of action on his withdrawal from Manitoba politics by 'Mr. Greenway. The Winnipeg Tribune an- nounces officially from Ottawa the approach- ing completicea of the arrangement. It de- clares. that Mr. Sifton is to consult Mr. Laurier again on the school question, and that "it may be taken for granted that Mr. "Sift= will be shortly sworn in as Minister "of the Interior and run for Brandon." Mr. Martin was as earnest a party worker as Mr. Sifton. On the spoils theory he is cer- tainly entitled to something. It has been announced that if Mr. Sifton isequared,aud Mr. Martin is not, the latter—for he " has -" not been fighting for the f in of the thing" --will re-enter tit:provincial field and lead an agitation that shall render it impossible for Messrs. Sifton and Greenway to deliver the goods. This ontingency—this idan- gerous possibility— es been impretised upon the Federal Ministerj, and eow we have the announcement officially made from Ottawa to Winnipeg readers that " there is the "determination here in Government circles 4‘ to:see that Mr. Martin is appropriately re - "warded for his great services to the Lib- " eral party. He will probably be given "the choice of several high positions." The average citizen who thinks that in politics principle should take precedence of place will view with disgust the intrigues, the purchases and the sales that are now going- on. Certainly every right-thinking man must say that if the Manitoba sehool law is wrong, and if the Provincial Minis- ters are able to correct it, they ought to act in a spirit of justice and fair play, with- out a corrupt inducetnent. As between cor- ruption and coercion, corruption is surely the more to be condemned. Here we have, however, the situation idea—a situation for the man who violates his announced princi- ples, and a situation for the man who with- holds his objections to such violation—car- ried out to the full. The rank and file may not be getting the fruits of their political iabouts; but the more prominent men who are in a position to force a bargain are, and to that extent the complaining stalwart ought to be satisfied. , MeNueacroaes. — Woven home - made quilt, Eva Nott.

The Rockwood correspondent of the ph Mercury relates the following liar! trying experience of Conductor Gu pec Snider of Grand Trunk Railway, on the 10 o elock train onLabor Day. A group of ladi intended going to Acton by that trai . They walked to the station, part of the coming over the iron bridge. By n of the pleasant company the minutes flew by unheeded, and when they were on the bridge the train steamed into the station. As the bridge is a quarter of a mile froin the station a grand scramble took place to reach the train before it started. Fortunately for them some of the company had come the other way and had arrived in time. Among them was an engaging young damsel, who took Conductor Snider in charge and pleaded with him to delay the train. He declared he could not do it, but then she began to flatter him, told him what a beautiful long black train he had, how she loved to hear him speak, and that he was the nicest conductor on the line. This line of argument had its effect. The train was delayed. The girls were loaded on the car amid such a noise as is made by a very large flock of swans_after a very severe flying experience. When the' con- ductor came in they were profuse in their thanks. Then they praised him soft and low—called him worthy to be loved, tritest friend and noblest foe, yet he only said " Tickets for Acton." • Huron Notes.
