It is not so.
It} an article beaded "Apposition
ror>ieots'P. the Empire gives expression
the following:--
to
"The plain ,fact is—disguise it as
they( Will—the' whole position of the
Party on the great issue now before
f,ianadiane, the trade question, is lam-
entably unsound and unsafe.. There
are probably not six men among the
Grit eaders wlio care a brass farthing
whether Unrestricted Reciprocity sur-
vives the hot weather or not. • The
'0604 body of Liberals throughout the
'Country regctrtl it with, distinct aversion."
Tbo italics in the foregoing are our
await and it is to this we particularly
With, to draw attention. While we
have no -reason to disbelieve that the
Liberal leaders are perfectly sincere in
their advocacy of Reciprocity, it mat-
ters little, for argument, whether they
are or not. We do know, however, that
in tbie section of country the Liberals,
almost to a man, are in favor of it.
There are a few who do not follow
their leaders entirely in this respect,
but they are very few. But we know
further than this—and we are speaking
now of what can be proved, that in
addition to the Liberals who support it, a
very large number of Conservatives do
the same thing. We have had oppor-
4 • tunities of meeting and conversing with
scores of people since the election, and
could easily name prominent Conserve-
tivee who tell as they have no love for
the Liberal party, ut they endorse its
`'platform of =re icted reciprocity. -
The vote in the House does not
necessarily indicate the sentiment in
the country, througibf course, it
must be accepted as partially indicative
thereof, but if the Empire assumes
therefrom that the country is almost
unanimously in favor of continuing a
protective policy,it is greatly mistaken.
What meant the election of Dr Mac-
donald and Mr Cameron, in East and
West Huron ? Both are Convervative
ridings, with large majorities in their
favor. The personal popularity of
the candidates was one factor. It
won't do to says that abstention from
voting on the part of Conservatives was
another, for this was so slight as to
make little difference. What then
was the factor? It was that a large
--r portion of the Conservative electorate
were as much in favor of free trade
as their Liberal brethren, and they
voted accordingly.
• For the Empire to say that "the
great body of Liberals throughout the
country regard Reciprocity with dis-
tinct aversion"' is to make a statement
unsupported by a tittle of evidence.
Should be Remem
bered.

It eaye:—"Nineteen years ago the Con-
servative party was wrecked upon simi-
lar issues to those which now threaten
it and some of the very men who helped
to bring about that disaster seem likely
to run the party on the rooks .again.
The ministry of the day were convicted
of what Lord Dufferin correctly char-
acterized as the atrocious crime of ac-
cepting an enormous bribe, from men
interested in a huge government con-
tract, in order to enable them in turn to
bribe the electors of Canada. The gov-
ernment of to, day is practically on
trial for permitting, if not conniving at
the systematic robbery of the State by
its own employes, and by contractors
upon a scale of lordly magnificence.
Canada has been pouring out treasure
like water, not only for public works
but that contractors may have the
wherewithal to supply election .funds ;
that oivil service jaokdaws may strut
around in peacocks' plumes ; that sec-
ond class clerks may live like deputy
ministers and first-olaesrasoals like na-
bobs. It is not to be supposed that
money directly misappropriated by Mr
Arnoldi represents a hundredth part of
the cost to Canada of the jolly " Joe "
and her luxurious little semi -business
trips. Mr Laforce Langevin with
charming naviete told the Privileg-
es and Elections committee yesterday
that he thought the Connollys should
subscribe to his father's election fund
" because they had large contracts. "
Apparently he was surprised at the sim-
plioity of any questioning on that sub-
ject. Were the Parliamentary com-
mittee to sit until doomsday they could
hardly hope to uncover half of the cor-
rupt acts that have been practised in
connection with the civil administrat-
ion. Everthing points to a widely
ramified system of fraud. What hope
is there of the Conservative party cur•
viving under such a load of scandal as
this? Every bye -election will be
fought upon the issue of purity in the
administration of the government, and
if they are to succeed it is absolutely es-
sential to get rid of all compromising
elements in the Cabinet, and to have a
leader in whose personal integrity the
public can have confidence. It is not a
question of punishing Mr Abbott for
the sins of the civil service, for the sins
of his colleagues or for his -own sins of
nineteen years ago. The question is',
whether Mr Abbott's personal record
is such that he could with a good grace
inaugurate a crusade against corrupt
practices, and whether the public would
have confidence in him as the leader of
a regenerated Conservative party. Un-
fortunately the record of the educated,
dignified and courtly gentleman now at
the head of the government is not such
as to inspire confidence. His name is
intimately associated with the greatest
blot on the record of the Conservative
party and the greatest blot on the polit-
ical history of Canada.
Some of the Conservative papers are
publishing what they claim was a plot
on the part of certain Quebec Liberals
, to secure control of the government at
Ottawa, but success of the plot, so they
allege, depended on the co-operation of
tar Laurier. Now mark what follow-
ed, as narrated by the papers them-
' -selves: --
It is said that the details of the
well -matured plan to overthrow the
present Government,when explained to
the Liberal leader,appeared so ranch at
variance with fair play, honor and hon-
. esty, that Mr Laurier repudiated the
beeed of bribers on the spot and here
•afid then expressed bis entire disappro-
bation of the scheme in hand."
We are glad to be assured from such
a source that Mr Laurier refused to
,,lend himself to any dishonorable tac-
.tios. We entertained that opinion be-
fore and are pleased to find it corrobor-
ated from this source. Will the papers
exposing the so-called plot, mentally go
• back over the past few years, and let us
know when the Conservative leaders
Bier refused to avail themselves of any
opportunity, fair or foul, that would be
to their political advantage ?
It is said that Sir Hector Langevin
has reported he can show that two
members of the Liberal party are gross-
ly corrupt. Well, if they are, by ail
means expose them,and we will guaran-
tee that one Liberal paper at any rate
will not shield them, But even if they
are, their conduct would bo a poor jus-
tification for that which is alleged
against Sir Hector.
Farmers who are prudent will dis-
pose of their grain as soon after it is
threshed as possible.
y ._�
The people who read daily papers
appear to have lost all interest in Par-
liament proceedings proper, and an-
xiously look for the more spicy, but less,
moral, details of scandals that are un-
earthed before the different committees
at the capital.
The air may be full of rumors at
Ottawa, and the Government may be on
the verge of despair owing to the scan-
dal developments, but so long as it can
hold its majority of 20 or 26, there's
not mnoh hope of a break-np,and some
of the leading papers might just as
well admit it.

Mr Fredrick Cole, who resides near
Lumley, met with a very painful accid-
ent on Tuesday afternoon, while en-
deavoring to lower himself from a mow
to the barn floor, where he had been en-
gaged in stowing away wheat. It ap-
pears he caught hold of a brace, which
was a support to one of the beams in the
mow when it gave away, letting him
fall back to the floor with such force as
to break both aims at the wrists.
Mr and Mrs Walter Taylor went to
Toronto on Tuesday to receive a port-
ion of the estate left to Mrs Taylor by
an uncle who died in Australia about
two years ago. The present divison to
Mrs Taylor and her relatives will
amonnt to $220,000, and there will be
another division in the future. Mrs
Taylor's deceased uncle was an extensive
sheep farmer in Australia, and his for-
tune was estimated at from $300,000 to
'i'.300,000.
Mr R Dennie, of Tuckersmith, had a
narrow escape from being killed on
Tuesday evening. He was driving a
young colt up Main St, Seaforth, and
when opposite Pickard's store a small
dog ran underneath the cart and nipped
the colts heels, which started it to kick
and run away. Mr Dennie held on to
the reins and the jolt ran up on the
sidewalk near Porter's furniture store
and fell back on Mr Dennie, and the
cart was caught. No damage of any
account was done, but Mr D had a nar-
row escape from losing his life.
Donald McLean, of Ashfield, who
met with an accident at a barn raising
a few weeks ago, died on Saturday
night. Deceased was a native of Scot-
land and Dame to this country with his
widowed mother when but a week old,
they settled on lot 1, con. 13, western
division of Ashfield. The high esteem
in which he was held was evidenced by
the largest funeral ever seen in that
section. Deceased was a reformer in
politics and alwys took an active inter-
est for that party in his own locality.
He was a Presbyterian and a mefnber
of Lochalsh church. He leaves a wid-
ow and eight children.

upon them accused. And then
what did He do ? What might
He have done had He been ought
else but what He was ? He
might have said,Ab, this is only
one more in the long list of Jer-
usalem's sins, one more evidence
of Jerusalem's depravity ; lot her
alone ; her doom is near.' But
being what and who He was, I
aay it with all humility, He could
not afford to so treat her. He
could afford to suffer want, perse-
cution, death, but in the eye of
the world, in the eyes of His en-
emies, in the eyes of his friends
He could not wink at this sacril-
ege and dishohesty. He could not
afford to allow His holiness and
truth to be impugned. And as we
turn from this scene of the one
whose eyes are not on His temple
alone but upon nations and com-
munities as well, and see Him
cleaning the house of the profane
and dishonest, and look at this so-
ciety in which we live, surely the
thought is at least suggested to us
that this Canada of ours dare not
pass over or treat lightly char ges
such as these, and lying wh ere
these do. Sho can afford to bear
such trials as a young coun try
must in the natural order of
things be called upon to bear. She
can afford to put up with injustice
at the hands of others till justice
be done to her, but she cannot
afford to allow her fair name to
be smirched, and if for her own
sake she cannot afford it, as a part
of the great British Empire she
cannot afford it.
Unearth Them All.
The Ottawa correspondent of the
Globe says;—There are wild rumorg.''bf
startling developements during trlyis
week and threats that prominent Lib-
erals will be shamefully involved. But
this war scare carries no alarm into the
ranks of the Opposition. If Liberals
are shamefully involved they ought to
be exposed and punished, and the Lib-
eral leaders will not seek to stay the
hand of justice. But this story is prob-
ably cut from the cloth out of which
waslmanufactnred the fool's yarn that
the Liberalorganiser for Ontario was
buying Conservative members of the
Commons for spot cash under the in-
structions of Sir Richard Cartwright.
That yarn was put into print by the
correspondent of the Montreal Gazette.
But proof there was none. The corres-
pondent was deceived by the exhorters
at the Conservative headquarters. The
whole story was found to rest upon the
hysterical threatenings of a knot of very
extreme partisans, and the Gazette,
which seeks to maintain a good level of
journalistic decency, has withdrawn the
unguarded utterance. The Liberal
leaders are making a clean fight for
a cleaner administratin of the af-
fairs of the country. If they should
attempt to put down corruption by buy-
ing their way into office the;' would de-
serve to be eternally shut out from the
confidence of the people. And whenthe
worst is told no one has the right to say
that any member of the Commona can
be bought for cash in the open market.
From the opening of the inquiry a knot
of Sir Hector Langevin's supporters
have threatened dire consequences if
the investigation were pursued, but the
threats have not availed to turn the
Liberals from their purpose for a mom-
ent. The Liberals invite any exposure
that will let the purifying winds blow
through this sweltering heap of cor-
ruption.
The arctioles one frequently sees in
the papers about some unfortunate girl,
and whose transgressions are glaringly
alluded to as "The Wayward Girl' are
enough to make people tired. What
about i The Waywayd Boy " who is too
often more to blame than his weaker
sister.
Sermon on the Scandals.
Goderich.
On Saturday night a large number
were at the dock to see the departure
of those who intended to go to
Detroit in the Canoe. However, as
the schr. Pinafore was going south
they embarked in her and proceeded
in her as far as Port Franks where
they took to their canoe and pro-
ceeded to Detroit. The attraction
there was the meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
A. new watering cart has been
placed on our streets which entirely
supercedes the the old one in every
particular. The originator of the
idea was D. C. Strachan, "our inven-
tur." The watering apparatus is a
wheel worked by power supplied by
the motion of the cart. This wheel
is on the back of the cart and revolves
rapidly, thus throwing the water
which is supplied by a pipe from the
tank, a distance of about 20 feet on
each side. We have no doubt but
that when got into perfect working
order the cart will be in great demand
by the towns.

HAYNE•B4.RTON STOCK FARM.
This is the name which Mr Jame
Snell's farm bears, and which was
given in memory of the place from
which his father came. The farm,
which is four miles from Clinton
station, is very pleasantly situated an
a bank, surrounded with evergreen
trees and ornamental shrubs, which
show that Mr Snell has paid more
-attention-to-beautifying—the- home-
stead than is usually the case. The
herd of Shorthorns, numbering -about
twenty-two head, are of the thick -
fleshed, blocky type, and contained
several winners, such as Orena XIII•,
a roan five-year-old, who was first at
Goderich, Clinton, and Seaforth, in
1890; she is also a heavy milker, as is
likewise Strawberry,by Captain Mer-
lin, a good red three-year-old. Two
good red yearling heifers attraoted
our notice, one of them Moss Rose,
by the stork bull . Vice 'Consul
=8061=, out of Daisy, by Captain
Merlin, was the winner of first at
Goderich in 1890, but we rather fan-
cied her half-sister, out of Lady Jane
by Prince of Seaham=2274=. The
stock bull, Vice Consul=8061 -, is
sired by imp. Neptune (33340) and is
oneof the Golden Crown and Kin -
eller tribes. He is a heavy -fleshed
fellow, with a neat bead and has
proved himself a valuable sire, sever-
al of his heifer calves being most
promising in appearance. He has
been a prize-winner in the show -ring,
having, amongst other prizes, won
second at London in 1890, and first
and diploma this spring at Brucefield.
Mr Snell also imports and breeds
Clydesdales, of which he has several
fine specimens on band. The show
mare, imp. Bessie Lee, now eleven
years old, who carried off two diplom-
as at London and the second at the
Provincal at Guelph, is still breeding
well. and had a'good colt by her side
by McKnight and Gypsy Queen, her
mate, who was second at London in
1890, is also the mother of a fine colt
by Andrew Laramie, In the pasture
was a good three-year-old, bay in
color, named Jessie 'Lee, who was
third at London, and which we ung
derstand, Mr Snell is offering for sale.
A promising colt is the bay yearling
stallion, Charles McKnight, he will
not be two years old till the 4th of
September next, and at the time of
our visit weighed 1550 pounds. In
1890 he won first at Goderich and 1st
at Clinton, and may well be expect-
ed to take high honors, The flock of
Leicesters were in fine order, and Mr
Snail reports a strong demand for his
sheep. The ram in use is one of
Lord Pol ,arth's breeding, and was
second at London last fall. In the
flock,which now numbers 50 head, are
some extra fine ewes, and we should
not be suprised to see Mr Snell a com•
petitor at the fall shows this year.
The Gration, Dakota, Advocate, o
last week, contains the following
items:—James Lawrence, who has been
for a number of years in the grain bus-
iness in Manitoba, made us a short call
on Tuesday last. He was on his way to
visit friends in the neighborhood of
Brucefield Ontario.
HARBOR NOTES.—The schr Tod -
man arrived last week with about
130,000 ft of lumber from Thessalon.
The echr. Pinafore completed highest
trip this season by coming in last
week wtth 525 bbls salt also some
empty bbls; The tug Orcadia towed
into port on Thursday evening last
a pleasure yacht, the Ouilette, on her
way up from Detroit, also a fish boat.
The fishing tug, Messenger of Mon-
roe, was in port this week. Mahaffy's
Spray is in port this week. Mr
Proudfoot'e yacht, Norma, is lying
in the harbor this week. The schr
Todman sailed light last Friday.
The Behr Pinafore sailed light for
Port Franks on Saturday to load salt
for this place.
NOTES.—Mrs McKendrick, of Galt,
is visiting in town at present. Mas-
ter Geo Guest was visiting in Wing -
ham last week. The Sacrament of
the Lord's Supper was administered
in the Methodist churches of this
place after morning service; love
feast was held before service. A
large munber of our citizens intend
taking in the excursion in connection
with the Clinton Civic holiday. A
large excursion is expected to take
place from different points along the
W. G. Sr, B. and L. H. & B. to this
.place next Tuesday; the large num-
ber of excursions here cannot help
but advertise Goderich and thus ad-
vance her interests. Mr R. Gauley,
late with Acheson & Co., has return-
ed to Clinton, where we understand
he has secured a situation. Mr Gale,
from Galt, is visiting friends in town.
Rev Mr Howell will address the
young men specially next Sunday
evening; a cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all to come and hear the
address. Our town fathers meet to-
morrow evening for the transaction
of business.
News Notes Around the Cooly
DILD
HUTCHISON—At the residence of Mrs
E Shumway, Grafton, on July, 23rd
1891, Mary Fotheringham, the beloved
wife of George Hutchison,aged 27 years.
The funeral services were conducted on
Friday by Rev John Mordy, of Winni-
peg, at the house, after which the re-
mains were followed to the Great
Northern depot, by a large number of
sympathizing friends and neighbors, to
see Mr Hutchison off on his sad mission
to conduct his wife's corpse back to her
old home near Seaforth, Ont. Mrs
Hutchison died as she lived, a good
Christian woman. She was loved by
her friends, esteemed by: all who knew
her, and her early demise is a source of
deep regret to the community. She
had been married less than two years,
when the Master called her, and she
obeyed the summons, without any re-
grets save for the friends she loved so
dear, leaving a eorroving husband to
tread life's rugged path alone. It id
hard to vee the young called away, but
what a consolation it is to those left
behind, when they can truly say e're
they go, " It is well with my soul." It
will be a sad blow to her parents and
sisters at home, as although they had
been written to, telling of her illness,
the telegram announcing her death
would arrive first. (Deceased was a
daughter of Mr W Fotheringbam,Tuck-

ELMHURST FARM.
Elmhurst Farm, the residence of Mr.
W. J. Biggins, is only one mile from
Clinton station, on the London,
Huron & Bruce branch of the G. T.
R. The herd of Shorthorns,although
not large in number,is strong in point
of merit.IThe name Elmhurst is at once
suggestive of the Matchlesses, which
have proved so successful in Messrs.
Watt's (Salem) hands. Matchless of
Elmhurst VL, now eight years old, is
a massive roan, sired by British
Statesman=1467=, out of Matchless
19th, and was placed third at London
in 1888 to the famous Bow Park cows,
Lady Havering Nonpareil and Lady
Isabel. She was also firat and the
diploma female at Goderich, at which
place she has never suffered defeat.
Another of the same tribe is Match-
less of Elmhurst X., who is dam of a
good red bull calf, her offspring of the
previous year being Matchless 14th, a
very fine, smooth yearling red heifer
by the imp. Cruickshank bull, Excel-
sior
(51233). The Cruickshank
strain is represented among others
by imp. Red Rose, of E. Cruick-
shank's, of Lythenty, breeding, who,
as might be anticipated by her name,
is of the fashionable red color. She
has a neat head and nicely turned
horns, and is extra good in the hind

promising red heifer calf. Rosebud

widest cows in the herd, being four-
teen year old. She is of Campbell

G. & A. Isaac; of Bowmanton, Ont.
He is a red in color, sired by Banner -

us he is. By the time we had com-

sun had disappeared in the west; and
Mr Biggins having kindly offered to
accompany us on the morrow, we
were glad to avail 'ourselves of his
hospitable invitation, and passed a
pleasant evening in cattle talk. The

Capt James Norris died at St Cath-
rines on Saturday. He started life as a
tow path driver, and rose to be one of
the wealthiest men in that city.
News has been received of the sud-
den death at hie residence, south of
Camlachie, Laihbton Co., of George
Near, a former resident of West Mis-
souri, where at one time he owned a
small farm on the 4th concession. It
appears that the deceased had hitched
the horse to the bnggy with the intent-
ion of driving to Wyoming, and whilst
conversing with his wife fell forward
and expired. Death is supposed to
have resulted from an affection of the
heart.
Tuesday last seems to have been a
day of accidents in Perth County. Miss
Messreschmidt, of MoKillop, was driv-
ing to a berry patch in Logan, when the
horse became unmanageable and threw
the lady out of the rig, breaking her leg
badly. On the same day a nephew of
Mr Dan Leary, of Logan, got his right
hand caught in the pulley of a hay fork
and had three of his fingers badly lacer-
ated. Mrs George Henry, of Fullerton,
received some painful injuries to her
head and face by the falling of some
beaffolding in the barn.

Intense Suffering for 8 years— Re-
stored to Perfect Health.
Few people have suffered more severely
from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says:
ilefore 1874 I was in excellent health, weigh -
int over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment
developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I
was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning
sensations in the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,
nausea, and indigestion.
I could not sleep, lost all
heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and
for days at a time I would have welcomed
death. I became morose, sullen and irritable,
and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried
