GILROY, CLINTON. The Huron News-Recora 1.60 a Year—$1.26 in Advance Wednesday. Octr. 21st. 1891 AGITATE! AGITATE!! Nothing succeeds like success. Woodstock has succeeded by its en• terprise and liberality. It has re- cently bonused a Hamilton stove concern to operate works in Wood- stock. Some time ago it bonused the large implement factory of Patterson Bros. Now the Patterson Bros have consolidated the Wisner and Son seeding implement factory of Brantford. l[eadquartere will be at Woodstock. We would like to see Clinton make some arrange- ment with the Doherty Organ firm to extend their business here by going into the manufacture of pianos. Mr. Doherty is en excel- lent bu..inoss man and if the town cou' . ,uduce him to extend hid op- eratioue by a pecuniary offer of some kind our citizens would be amply recouped. We have got commercial facilities in the shape of railway advantages equalled by few towns in Canada. And we have educational and social advant- ages possessed by but few and these combined with the comparative cheap rates of living on account of families being able to obtain the staple articles of food at firet coat, should induce workmen with families to live here in preference to the cities. Clinton must be up and doing in the manufacturing lines. The town has done well in this way in Rut years. It must not rest on its laurels. Time fades them. Fresh ones must be plucked from the outside world and placed upon the brows of local manufac- turers. The census shows what mixed industries will do. We must have a manufacturing popu- lation if the farming community is to obtain the best reeults for their !ahem Big rivers run by large towns. And large towns are found in the beet agricultural districts. The big towns do not make the rivers, the towns are the incidence of the rivers and they improve the natural facilities af- forded by the rivers. Towns do not make the country, but they are the incidence of a good country and materially enhance the value of the produots of the soil in their vicin- ity. We have a good country a- round us capable of sustaining a population ten times that of Clinton at preeeut. We have a location second to none in the Province in the advantages it odors as a manu- facturing and distributing centra. There are many lines of rnanufac Luring industries not represented, or inadequately represented, in Can- ada. We have the material, the men, the money and intelligence to manufacture teem and supplant the the imported articles. Our peop'e should lcok into this. They should iuquire, suggest and agitate for manufacturing concerns in our town. Above all agitate ! agitate ! ! The life of all industries, trade, manufacturing and farming, is as dependent upon agitation as the lakes and the oceans and the air are for the purity of their water and our every physical life-giving inepira ion asci aerie good<political„ g overtfinent. THE ABOLITION OF GRAND JURIES. Some time ago Sir John Thornp- sou, Minister of Justice, asked the opinions of the Judges of the var- ious Courts of the Dominion as to the advisability of doiug away with grand juries. The various replies have now been published, by order of Parliament. One hundred and one replies have been received by the Minister of Justice to his circular letter asking judicial opinions as to the expediency of abolishing the functions of the GrandJury in relation to the adminia• tration of criminal juetioe. Of these, a majority, 48, were in favor of abolishing the. Grand Jury, and 41 against, with 22 classed as "doubtful." The Attorney -General for Ontario is against the abolition, as well as Chief JuatioeslIagarty andealt,andJustices Frloonbridge, MacMabon, Ferguson, Street, Robertson and Retie of the Ontario Bench. Justice Gwynne and Taschereau, of the Supreme Court of Canada, and Chancellor Boyd; of Ontario, favor abolition ; C. J. Armour, of Ontario is doubtful, as well as C. J, Johnson, of Quebec. In Quebec Justices Pelletier, Wurtele, Brooks, Casault, Lynch, Cross, Cimon, Andrews and Tessier are against abolition; and Justices Tas- cbereau, Mathieu, Gill, Charland, Larue and Loranger favor it. Jus• tices Pagnuelo, Jette and Bourgeois favor it. Attorney -General Mowat prefaces his reply by claiming that it is not within the power of the Dominion to abolish Grand Juries, as it is a matter of provincial jurisdiction. Hon. Mr. Mowat, we th nk also reflects the views of the great majority of the people, not only of Ontario but of the whole D,,nriuiou, as to the expediency of the abolition of grand juries when he says : "With respect to the propriety of such abolition by the proper author- ity, whatever it may be; I think that the general sentiment amongst those of our people who have given atten• tion to the subject is against the aboli• tion of grand juries, and h majority of the members of theOntario govern- ment eoncurin thatreviw. If grand juries were abolished; it would be necessary that their functions should de discharged by some public official, and all of us are against that change at present." EDITORIAL NOTES. Woodstock, by a handsome majority, voted last week a bonus of $25,000 to the Stewarts of Hamil- ton to erect and maintain a large stove factory in Woodstock, As the firm have a factory in EIamilton the question le raised is the bylaw good in the face of the law which makes it illegal for one municipality to bonus a factory existing in an• other place to remove. The Stewarts say their psrtner•ship expires on Jany. let next and that the Wood- atock firer will not he the existing ono, but will be colnpueod of some of the members of it A curium; case came before the Montreal Police Magistrate a few days ago. A young married wo- man, in going home one night, was seized by a ruffian who tried to push her down an ernbankmout. She screamed loudly and the fellow fled. She told her husband and next day they searched and found her email - ant. She was prepared to swear to the identity of her assailant but the Magistrate said he could not graut a warrant for hie arrest as there was no witness and the woman's un- supported statement could not be accepted. Her respectability was attested by prominent citizens. This is an unjnet legal anomaly. The lowest bummer can, ou sworn dteform steno e -get r'tverrit'#tgoaitferIt respectable woman if he wants it, but a respectable woman cannot get a warrant against a ruffs tu. Surely this is au unjust legal anomaly. McMullen, the geueroue•souled and tendor•hearted M. P. for North Wollingtcu; a miserable copyist of the West Huron philanthropist, M. C. Cameron, took up the Indian role of the latter in the house dur- ing the recent sessiou, and with the aid of big prize onions in hie hat, which he ever and anou looked into, —onions that didu't take prize money out of the extra indemnity which he promised to distribute among the agricultural societies of hie riding—succeeded in making a pathetic statement that the Indians near Regina, N. W. T., had been served with bad beef. Now comes Rev. Mr. Moore, Presbyterian miss- !onary on the reserve, and other dis- interested perk) s having a know- ledge of the facts, with affidavits, and they say no beef was served to the Indiana there that was not "tit for the best table in Canada." Mc• Mullen had better wrap his head in tnullen leaves and keep cool his measive imaginative intellect. CURRENT TOPICS TIIE SEQUESTERED POPE, The Pope, in a note to the Powers, says the recent Pantheon disorders were of extreme importance, and in - sista that it is impossible for both the Italian Government and the Papacy to remain in Rome. These manifestations, he says, prove the Italian Goyernment's intention to sequestrate the Pope in the Vatican and not allow him free communica tion with the Catholic world. He also calls attention to the demands Of the ad 'anced groups to abolish the law of guaranteee, MORE GRiT BOODLEISM. Ugly rumors are afloat in the Lower Town as to further boodle transaction ou the part of the Mercier Government. It is said that another scandal that far aur - passes that of the Baie des Chaleurs will he exposed as soon as the Legis. lature meets. It is in connection with the Montreal & Sorel Railway, which became insolvent and was taken over by the Grand Trunk. It will be remembered that when Sir Henry Tyler arrived here Mr. Mercier went aid called on him, and, if current report is to be be- lieved; begged hini not to let the Montreal officials say anything about the matter, Sir Henry was compliant, the story goes, and noth- ing was said. THE KIND OF BARLEY. The two -rowed barley introduce ed by the Dominion Government has gained great popularity with the farmers of certain sections of Ontario. The Government was roundly abused by the reform press when the seed was brought from England, but the results justify the outlay and the country, through the ferment, will be benefitted. As an instance of the success of the two rowed grain, a farmer in Brock township has harvested 15 bushels more to the acre of two -rowed than of six rowoJ, comparing acre with acre. The two rowed weighed 56 pounds to the bushel arid brought 10 cents more to the bushel. From this it would seem that the two• rowed grain has come to stay. STEADY GROWTH OF THE NORTHWEST. Mr. D. H. Macdowall, M. P., Prince Albert, N, W. T,, is at the Queen'e, staying in Toronto for a few days on business. Mr. Mac• dowall reports everything as being moat encouraging ii fai UMW lir the North-west. The crops have averaged excellently, the wheat be. ing uoticable for its heavy quality. "1t is quite true,'' sail Mr. Mac dowall, "that Dakota fariuere are coming into the north-west, Just before I cave down I saw several Dakotans who had come across the line, and they were preparwg for Ithe advent of 75 families over the horder. This means at least 200 souls. They will settle near Duck lake. This is an instance 1 know of in mer immediate neighborhood, but I believe other parties from Dakota are settling at other points. There has been steady growth it) our die- triceWeare well satisfied with the result of the centime" AN AMERICAN VIEW. The suspense over the wheat crop of North Dakota and the north- western counties of Minnesute has grown into positive alarm. Up to yesterday it was generally hoped the grain could he threshed. On Monday nighty however, heavy rain set in all over the northern country, which changed to snow yesterday morning and kept falling all day.The storm extends an far south as Minneapolis, and all threshing operatious are suspended and will not be resumed before next week, even if there is no more rain or anew, Minnesota men declare that from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels of wheat will be utterly ruined. Col. P. 11 Walker says of the situa- tion : "I have just returned from a trip through that section. It wide my heart ache to witness the ruin. En order to appreciate it one must actually see it. There are thous ands of simply wonderful wheat fields almost utterly destroyed by the rains. The report published do not cover half of the devastation." A BAD CHURCH LAW. A decided sensation has been created in Ohio upper society circles because of the refusal of Bishop Watterson to permit a young lady, Mise .Fuller, to take part in a pri. vats of c Mis ing Jost; theatrical play for the benefit ne of the Protestant churches. Fuller received notice in writ - from Father White, of St. h's Cathedral, that it was aga first the rules of the church for her play or act in any capacity for the benefit of any Protestant chu It A committee then called upo Bishop Watterson with a view of uring his permission, as con- oid :;ole expense had been incurred in tting up the entertainment. Bis Fp Watterson received his callers wit ?''�the utmost courtesy, and read the �71fules of the church to them, but 'efused ,to permit the young lad •art. He recognized thsi; act that the Protea an s : •t •d the Catholics in most of their enter. tainments, two young Protestants taking part in one the previous night, while there was no rule against receiving assistance from Proteatante, the rule of the Roman Catholic church did not permit of giving any. WHAT W. W. OGILVIE SAW AND SAID. Mr. W. W. Ogilvie, senior pros prietor of the Goderielr Big Mill, re- turned to Montreal, Wednesday, from a visit to his grain elevators in Manitoba and was seen by a Witness reporter. Mr. Ogilvie said that although the weather had been very unfavorable for threshing, the farm - era in Manitoba and the North, West would realize one-half more good living wheat titin year than last. He has already purchas• ed twice as much wheat as lie did up to date last year, the first cargn, 30,000 bushels, having arrived in Montreal yesterday. During hie stay he yisited 32 of the 36 elevators owned by his company, travelling an far wast ae Moosomin, the bonn- dary line between Manitoba and the North-West Territories, about 250 wiles west of Winnipeg.

West," he said, "and gives promise of such development as to make the farmers in that country practically independent of wheat raising." Seven hundred head of splendid stock have already been shipped this season from two stations, Mani- toba and Pilot Mound, while he saw a herd containing as many more which were ready for ship merit. These were all sent to the English market, for which the re• mainder are also destined. In addi- tion to the cattle shipped out of the country a brisk local demand has existed, which has been readily met. All the farmers he had met, everywhere, seemed happy and con- tented end quite satisfied with the result of this season's crop. —Lest week a fatal %eoldent happened to a hay named Willie Freely, of Themesford. The boy had gone previous night to Mr. J. 0. MoKee'e, a farmer living about three miles from there, ani name in company with Mr. MoKee's son to Thameeford yesterday with a Load of apples to make cider. When they ar- rived at the mill they had to pass under a large log, about 20 inches through and some 50 feet long, suspended for the pur- pone of doing the preseing. The boy was returning on a milk waggon and holding a barrel on the load he leaned over to peas under, when his head was caught be- :..tweea=the-bar-tele-and„ the.logr-emaehing., hie head in a frightful manner and killing him instantly. .1=1o111= To the Editor of The News -Record: Dean SIR,— The bovine of the New Era has again seen the red rag which aaises his ire to the highest pitch but he must remember it is a rag which is world wide is about two hundred years old and is still bright and shows no signs ofithe weakness of age which proves it is no shoddy. It is the rag raised in honor of him who under Divine Providence secured for our ancestors and preserved for us the great bootn Of civil and religious liberty which we all enjoy. But there are those whose very names remind us of our homes in whom the sentiment of loyalty is to outward appearances forgotten, in whom gratitude is dead and all its kindred gone to the funeral, who live only in the present regardless of what an inheritance of woe they may be heaping up for their posterity, or what epitaph they may be writing for themselves.
