paSSed. It Was decided to extend an
111Vinat1911 ta BeVi J. 0. Seat, Of Grace
eluircht St, Thomas, 'co become pastor
of this church next year, 10 Scott Is
Bresident of the London Venference,
and, is very highly spoken of by his
ministerial brethren.
Rev. Ames Livingstone, of Lista-
well, spent a short time in town on
Friday, and. was gladly greeted by
many of his former eong'regation; he
had been attending the funeral of Mr
3. McKinley, of the Goshen Line,
Stanley, brother of Rev. G. McKinley,
of Hensall, and -vas the .guest of Mayor
Doherty while here; he ts as genial and
Jolly as ever.
Speaking of the induction of Rev.
W. Craig,. late of St Paul's church,
Clinton, the Petrolia Topic says: -"We
take this opportunity of congratulat-
ing RR- Mr Craig upon the• most sat-
isfactory feeliug that exists between
himself and the congregation of Christ
church already, and we confidently
predict that his residence here will be
of many years duration, and his work
of much profit to the church and its
people."
The Petrolia Advertiser says: -"On
Sunday evening last Christ church was
filled to the doors with an attentive
cougregation, representing every re-
ligious denomination, sect and creed
in the community, to witness the in-
duction of Rev. W. Craig, B. D., as
Rector. The ceremony was performed
by the Bishop of Huron, assisted by
Rev. W. Murton Shore, incumbent of
Ailsa Craig. His lordship preached a
wonderfully instructive and most in-
teresting sermon, from the first and
following verses of the thirteenth
chapter of St.Mattliew's gospel, and at
the close commended the new Rector
to the congregation, bespeaking their
sympathy and encouragement for him
in a warm and earnest manner that
must have touched the hearts of all
present. That the congregation will
respond heartily to His lordship's ap-
peal, we have no doubt. The longer
Mr Craig remains with us the more
we like hiro, and we have no fears for
the prosperity of the church under his
guidance."
Last Friday afternoon Rev. J. Edge
received a telegraphic message of the
following sorrowful import: -"Your
father was killed this afternoon by
horses running away." He left by'the
first train for his father's home, near
Durham, and arriving there found
that after completing threshing at his
own farm his father had started to
drive the engine to a neighbor's when
the horses became unmanageable and
wa npset the engine, in-
stantly killing him. His regs, arms
and back were broken. He was an up-
right, honest christian man, and high-
ly esteemed in the neighborhood
where he lived. The terrible accident
causes feelings of sorrow in all hearts
and the most heartfelt sympathy is
felt by everyone for Rev. INIr Edge
and his family in their sore affliction.
Bereavements have fallen in rapid
succession upon them during the past
year or so. A few months before
coming to Acton Mrs Edge's mothen
was called to her eternal home. A
year ago last week the parsonage here
was visited by death and a bright
little two-year-old son was taken; the
following week Mrs Edge's brother
was instantly killed on his farm near
Owen Sound, and last Friday the sad
fatality above recorded was added to
the long list. It is indeed hard to un-
derstand such frequently recurring
occasions for mourning the loss of
loved ones, but the allwise Father
knows and we shall understand here-
after.-Acten Free Press.

What a farce the Prohibition Com-
mission is, anyhow. Just a few
months ago the people of Manitoba,
by a large majority, expressed them-
selves as favorable to prohibition, yet
this intelligent commission solemnly
went up to that Province the other
day to find out what they thought on
the liquor question. The whole thing
is simply a big picnic for the members
that will cost the people of Canada a
considerable surn,without the slightest
particle of benefit.
In one of the townships of Oxford it
has already been decided to abolish
the statute labor system and levy a
road tax instead. In East Zorra the
electors will on:January next be asked
to approve a by-law authorizing the
adoption of the same course in that
township. This is one really practical
step in the movement to secure an im-
provement in country roads. Statute
labor commuted at seventy-five cents

If the Ontario Government wishes
to show that it is Reform in more
than name alone, it has a splendid op-
portunity to pass a law saying that no
member of the legislature shall be ap-
pointed to any office in the gift of the
legislature, until after he has ceased
to be a member thereof for at least
one or two years. When this matter
was alluded to at the Liberal conven-
tion in Goderich, last Friday, and ap-
pointments made while the appointee
was a member of the House strongly
condemned, there was a burst of ap-
plause which showed unmistakeably
the sympathy of those present. Here
is a good chance for the government to
show that it is willing to amend
wrong systems wherever they exist.
Further, when vacancies occur, they
should -be-filled- within a, reasonable
time. The Registrarship of North
Middlesex has been vacant for some-
thing in the neighborhood of three
years, and as there is a split in the
party as to who should get this posi-
tion, no appointment has yet been
made. The government should inti-
mate that a decision ;ought to be ar-
rived at immediately.
Some Plain Truths from an
Unexpected Quarter
Mr Armstrong, the new president of
--- the TorontosConservative Club, evi-
dently does some thinking for himself,
and if he goes on talking as he has
started, will cause a sensation in that
Jtarty. In his inaugural address the
7. .
other night he told some plaifftrtitliV
and it is quite evident he did not allow
any of the older heads to review his
speech beforehand, or they would
never have allowed him to give ueter-
ance to such statements as the fol-
lowing: -
per day even will prodsce 'better re-
sults than have been attained under a
system that was long slice sot of
date.
"In Dominion politics the policy of
the country is formulated and direct-
ed by nominally fourteen men, but
practically three or four of the Cabinet
dictate everything, and they are as
autocratic as the Czar of all the Rus-
sias. We. who form the party through-
out the length and breadth of the
country, are simply commanded to vote
and think as they direct, or else get
out of it. Now, then, I think you will
at once agree that this is not being
governed by the party, and for the
party, except you donsider that these
men have by some divine right consti-
tuted themselves the party. Evident-
ly a large section of the public think
so, or it would not be permitted; yet
at the same time I cannot help bet
feel that such a proceeding is deroga-
tory to the party, derogatory to the
best interests of this beloved Canada
of ours.
The question as to why thousands
are leaving this country every year
and going to the United Statet should
engage our serious attention, and we
should try and solve the problem for
it is quite evident that the older heads
are not going to do so. I am inform-
ed on reliable authority that no less
than four thousand have left this city
during the past year -left all that was
near and dear and gone into foreign
exile. In short, gentlemen, there is
no concealingin
fact that we are be-
ing annexed n job lots every week,
and there is not a voice being raised
against it.
There is a hue and cry raised by rev-
enue patriots at after-dinner speeches
and by some soul -bursting speakers on
the stump against annexing our land,
but not one word is raised by our
politicians, by our patriotic press or
by anyone against the United States
annexing the brains and muscle of
• thifecOuntry in job lots." I 0, •

' When Canada is so prosperous, and
everybody so contented and happy,
and when times are so good, wages so
big, work so plentiful and profits so
lenge, what could the Grand Jury at
the Kingston Assizes have been think-
ing about when it said in its presment-
ment :
With other parts of the Donainion,
we rejoice over the fairly -abundant
harvest recently gathered, but we de-
plore the general dullness in trade, the
depression in agricultural lands, and
regret the loss of population in this
and the adjoining counties. While ad-
mitting the difficulties in improving
the condition of the people by legis-
lation, we would earnestly hope that
the Dominion Government niay speed-
ily take such steps as May greatly im-
prove the circumstances of the agri-
culturist and the artisan.

10 Jas, Sutherland, M.P., for Islovth
Oxford, who was present at the meeting,
was called upon to address the gather-
ing, and gave a statement with refer-
ence to the prospects of the Reform
party. He also paid a high tribute to
the ability of Mr M. 0. Cameron, who
had been a" Liberal standard-bearer in
Huron county for the past quarter of a
century. It was with the deepest feel-
ing of regret that the leaders of the
Liberal party had learned of the defeat
of Mr Cameron in West Huron, at the
bye -election. He was looked upon as
one of the grandest fighting Liberals
inCanada, and was respected by his
friends as much as he was feared by his
opponents for his known ability, his
uncompi ising political fighting powers
and the high position in which he stood
in the councils of his party. Reference
was then made to the able leadership
of Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, of whom every
Canadian Liberal would feel proud.
Had during his leadership so conducted
himself as to gain the love and friend-
ship of his followers, and the respect
of even his opponents. Mr Laurier was
not dishearted or cast down, even
though his following in the house was
not large, and he hoped in the near
future to bring victory to the cause
which he espoused.
D. A. Forrester, of Clinton, chairman
of the committee charged with the
conduct of the petition against Mr
Patterson, made a succinct statement
conceraing the progress of the case in
court so far as it had gone.

MR. CAMERON SPEAKS.
Mr M. C. Cameron was loudly called
fer and took the platform amidst loud
and prolonged applause. It pleased
him to see that the old spirit still -ani-
mated his friends in Huron, that spirit
which had been so successful in so
many hotly contested elections on his
behalf in the. past. Darkness and
cloud and mist had temporarily ob-
scured the Liberal horizon in West
Huron, but the clouds were breaking,
and the light of success would again be
_the portion of the Liberal party in this
riding. After the election in February
last and before he left for his southern
home he issued an address to his
friends, in which he stated that in the
event of a vacancy being created in
West Huron he would again lead the
Liberal party, if no other candidate
was available and the party called for
him. To that promise he was still
ready to adhere. He was still ready
to fight to the last inch for whosoever
would be selected to carry the Liberal
banner. For himself in the matter of
the petition he was willing to abide by
the decision of the committee. He
then entered into a detailed account of
how the riding had been stolen from
the Liberals at the last election, and
closed a magnificent address amidst
loud and prolonged applause.
A resolution was carried unanimous-
ly endorsing the conduct of Hon. Wil-
frid Laurier as leader of the Opposition
in the Dominion Parliament, ancl pledgs
ing him unswerving support in the
time to come.
A resolution endorsing the Govern-
ment of Sir Oliver Mowat in Ontario
was also passed. It referred to his ad-
ministration in general, and alluded to
the fact that he had been in office for a
longer period continuously than any
other man in an English speaking
country. Before this resolution passed
it gave rise to a warm discussion. Mr
Cameron said that the general policy
of the Ontario Government was to him
satisfactory, but he took decided issue
with Sir Oliver Mowat on certain
points. He objected to the effort re-
cently made by the Premier to stifle
open and free discussion upon the fu-
ture -of-this- eountry- by the dismissal
of Mr Elgin Myers from the county at-
torneyship of Dufferin. Free speech
was a fundamental principle of the
Liberal party, and he and thousands
of others in Canada believe that the
'deathlyof -this-country .was .a legiti-
Mate subject -for discussion by the peo-
ple of Canada, whether laymen or offi-
cials. Then he objected to members of
Parliament being appointed to public
offices by the Government which they
supported. His third objection was
that SirOliverMowat had shown a bad
example by accepting a title which was
foreign to the genius of the people of
this democratic country. Mr McGilli-
cuddy did not oppose the resolution
generally, though he expressed his ap-
proval of the remarks of Mr Cameron.
Mr Garrow defended Mr Mowat so
far as his action relating to Mr Myers
was concerned, but admitted that his
acceptance of knighthood was not in
keeping with Liberal principles. He
thought his administration. on the
whole, was one of which any country
might be proud.
The following resolutions were then
carried amidst the wildest enthusiasm:
Moved by Joseph Williams, Goderich,
seconded by Joseph Griffin, reeve of
Ashfield, "That this convention rejoic-
es to have this early opportunity to
place on record its great pleasure and
satisfaction, a plea,sure and satisfaction
shared in by the Liberals not merely of
West Huron, but of the Dominion at
large, that the moral character of our
standard-bearer, Mr M. C. Cameron,
so long identified with this riding as
the local leader of the Liberal party,
has been, by the recent legal:investi-
gation, fully vindicated and establish-
ed, notwithstanding the most virulent
and persistent efforts of his political
opponents to destroy him by their
false and scandalous charges of im-
morality."
Moved by Hugh Girvin, deputy -
reeve of Ashfleld, seconded by C. See-
ger, "That this convention, in the
event of:a vacancy occurring from any
cause in the riding representation in
the House of Commons, now do nomi-
nate our old friend and representative,
M. C. Cameron, as the Liberal candi-
date, assuring him of the unanimous
support of all his old friends, and
promising, as we may well believe we
may, the support of many )(avers of
fair play throughout the riding, not
before his friends, who cannot but
have been disgusted at the recent
,dastardly treatment which he has re -
tatted front a section of the WM r
Conserve:
T \
mveithrirtki eittersI i he regollitiOtt caried amidst
RK Miller that in the opinion of this
• • ,
conVention, the question of dealing
with the protest in all its phrases be
left in the hands of the comraittee al-
ready appointed, to deal with in what-
ever way they deem hest, not alone in
the interest of the Liberal party of
Huron., but aliyain tire interest of the
Liberal party a the -whole Dorninion,
and that in case the protest be proceed-
ed with, this convention pledges itself
to see that the necessary funds to meet
solicitors expenses, etc., be provided.
Moved by (Asps Williams, seconded
by FrankHodgens that this convention
expresses its great pleasure at the pres-
ence of its esteemed President, Mr A.
H. Manning, in its midst, and while
recognizing his able services in the in-
terest of the Liberal party in this rid-
ing, we especially trust that he may be
speedily restored to complete health
and strength.
On motion, the convention adjourn-
ed, to meet again at the call of the
chairman.
Division Court.
The regular sittings of the Division
Court were held here on Friday last,
His Honor Judge Doyle presiding. The
members of the legal profession pre-
sent were Messrs Campion, Proudfoot,
Hartt and Scott. Although there was
not a long docket, yet the cases set
down occupied the attention of the
judge from about nine in the morning
till six in the evening. The following
cases were disposed of :-
Smith v Cantelon.-An action for wages
brought -by -Levi Smith against -Arthur
Cantelon for $90.28, balance claimed to
be due for wages for the years 1887-88
and '89. The deft. disputed the claim,
and also counter -claimed for $45.82, for
use of horse, damages, etc. Verdict

for plff., Scott for deft.
McKedie v Glasgow et al. -This is a gar-
nishee case in which the plffs., claiming
to be creditors of George Glasgow,
seek to attach the amount of any com-
ing to him from the receiver of the
Glasgow, Macherson & Co. estate.
Sylvester r Johnston. -Interpleader, in
which the plff. had seized certain grain
and other chattels to satisfy an execu-
tion against Charles Johnston, which
were claimed by his brother, George
Johnston, who holds them under an
alleged purchase. Verdict for pill. as
to grain, as to which it was held that
there had been no change of possession.
Campion, Q.C., for plff.
Rowell v Colles. -Action upon a note
for $90, dated 4th April, 1881, purport-
ing to he made by Mary McAllister,
now Mary Colles, in favor of the deft.,
Thos. F. Colles, or order, and by him
endorsed to the deft. The note was
sued in 1888, neither of the defendants
disputing, and judgment was signed
against them both, upon which execu-
tion was issued and returned nulla
bona, whereupon judgment was trans-
ferred to the County Court, to reach
the lands of Mrs Colles, who then
moved to set the judgments aside and
for leave to defend. This was granted
upon her paying the costs of the pie-
vious proceedings. Mrs Colles' defence
is that she never signed the note. Her
co -deft. says that the note was given
for a buggy and harness sold her by
him, and that he saw her sign the note.
Judgment reserved. Scott for plff.,
Proudfoot for deft.
Doherty v McCrea. -Action by W. Do-
herty & Co. against J. G. McCrea, of
Sarnia, for re -payment of the amount
of an acceptance in Clinton, paid in
Clinton by plif. for the accommodation
of the deft., at his request, which draft
was accepted to enable deft. to retire
his own acceptance in favor of plffs.
The deft's. contention is that this court
has no jurisdiction. Judgment re-
served. Scott for Off., Campion for
deft.
McLaughlin v Snell. - Action upon a
note alleged to be made by the deft. in
favor of the late Thos. McLaughlin,
brought by the administrator of his
estate. The defence is that note sued
upon
is a forgery, and has referenee to .
genuine tote Vvhich VMS paid by deft.
Rev. James Grey, Secretary of the
superanuatian fund of the Methodist
church, and one of the best known
ministers of the denomination, though
for some years past on the retired
list, died suddenly on Saturday morn-
ing while engaged on his duties at the
Wesley buildings, Toronto. He was
sitting at his desk writing when he
was heard to give a groan. Assis-
tance was at hand immediatel7 but he
was already dead. Heart disease is
supposed to have caused death. De-
ceased was about 70 years of age. He
was for three years pastor of Ratten-
bury street Methodist church, and was
a very fine minister. He leaves a wife,
but no family.
At the regular meeting of the Quart-

One day last week as a steam thresher
W68 at work on a farm in Logan, belonging
to Mr John Benewise, Reeve of McKillop,
a spark blew from the steamer in some way
and lighted under the cylinder of the thresh-
ing machine. The flames spread through '
the barn before the machine could be
stopped, so that the men in the mow had
sot time even to save their clothes which
they had laid off, and barely escaped with
their lives. The machine had only been at
work a few hours and not a single article
could be removed from the burning build-
ing. It contained the season's crop off a
hundredacre farm, all of_which was de-
stroyed, together with lwo sepefator-
threshing machines and other implements.
The loss will be quite heavy as there was
only a smelt insurance.
