Now and again the members of the Orange Association are advised and criticised Eby a portion of the Ontario prose. As a rule the criticism comes frotn partisan political writers who are not in a position to speak intelligently. The Grand Orange Lodge of British Ainerica met at S+talt Ste. Marie, Ont., recently. Several reaolutione were un• •animously carried, Some of them were very important because they will at least tend to better preserve the Order and make it a greater power in the better advancement of Protestantism. The Soaforth Expositor has seen fit to take the whole Grand Lodge member- ship by their ears and last week devoted about a column to denouncing a reso- lution that it says has not been made public. The Expositor builds a man ofetratv,formi conclusions without facts, and bringe the artillery of poor judg- ment to prove what is not true. We do not believe .for a moment that the rhembership of the., Grand Orange Lodge is made up as the Expositor iu- fere. We know that itis not. Re- presentatives are elected from the mern- kbere—from the rank and file, if you please. Officers of prime'ry lodges for Districts and Counties. Primary, Dis• trict and County Lodges have direct representation at the. Provincial Grand Lodges. The machinery of the Loyal Orange Association is so complete that the representation direct from primary, district, county and provincial lodges comprise the Supreme Grand Lodge. And the Expositor says in effect that these mea have passed resolutions to "gag" themselves. We do not think the Expositor would wilfully charge• Robert Nicholson of S'anley, John Neil of Biddulph, James Homey of Winthrop, John Mooney of L'russnls, John Scarlett of Leadbury, or even the writer, with being fools. But that is the only inference to be drawn from the Expositor's misleading utterancea. There were no "gag" resolutions car• ried at the Grand Lodge, and we are in a position to personally speak. And our cotom does not deal fairly in re- ferring to the 12th at Exeter. The County,Maater in apologising for the absence of the Grand Master was not met with the interruption "We don't want him." IIe was not interrupted at all. But if the Expositor were will- ing to be jus'• to all men it would have said that the Grand Master was cheer- ed. When the rank and file of the Loyal Orange Association desire ad vice for the well being of the Order ewe will be•g'reatly mistaken, if accept- ed from the Expositor. In fact it will be news to the groat majority of Orange• mon in Huron to know that the Ex- positor has come out from under cover as an Orange Champion. 13ut we would warn the unthinking members to be heedful. Wo require something more commendable than the writings of a vitrol•dipped pen and villification of the Order and its tried members be- fore we accept the advice of "political adventurers". The Expositor has prov- en quite plainly that it is not by any Means ; a friend of Orangeiem. Thousands ef dollar's are coming in every day'by the express companies .to Toronto, from the United States for deposit in the banks there. This money draws no interest, but the peo- t the of the great siltty million market know where to find solid inetitutione in `this panicky time; ,L. Late mail advioee from England re- port the apple crop of the United Kingdom very promising, the prospects forshadowing a very much larger yield than has been experienced fqr eome years past, with quality of fruit also superior. The crop being in a much more foieward condition than of late years, English authorities write to the effect that it ie expected to be marketed earlier than usual, and that supplies from Canada will not have to compete with the great bulk of the English yield. This cannot have reference to our early fall apples, which oaused such a glut in English market last year, long before the winter stock was ready fur export, and sent down prices to a most unprofitable basis, from which the nsa, kets on the other side did not fully recover for a long time. Accord- ing to the best advices there will be a good demand at fairly remunerative prices for good to choice Canadian and United States winter fruit. Bet ou this point it may be stated that in this (London) district, and north through Huron and Bruce, and Perth and eolith to Lake Erie the winter apple crop is a failure, and whatever prices are will make but little difference to this part of Ontario. Tho Trade Bulletin on this question says one well-known English firm writes from Liverpool under date of July 29th as follows :-.-"As regards the superior qualities of'Ausericau and the winter stock of Cenadiao, we do hesitate to expect a good demand." The same journal takes exception to this in view of the disastrous results to Caundian shippers last season, who were led to pay ridiculously high prices, through the encouraging pre. dictione of theirEnglish correspondents. On this account alone receivers on the other side should have some considera- tion for exporters On this side, and should hesitate a good deal before lead- ing them into ruinous competition similar to that of 1892, which financial. ly rattled quite a nnmher of operators. Of course it may be argued from the standpoint of English 'commission houses that their object is to solicit all the consignments they can, and that in. any event they are on the right side, as they are surd of their commissions, etc., let the market go up or down, and that if one set of shippers drop out another will drop in, as the crop has to be handled anyway. Nevertheless, considering the unmerciful peppering which United States and Canadian shipper received last season, English houses should he very careful before again encouraging buyers on this side to duplicate last year's disastrous corn - petition, which flung everything into the lap of growers, aid left nothing for the seen upon whom devolved all the trouble and anxiety in moving the Drop out of the country. THE BILL AS IT STANDS. Ofrr readers who have followed the Irish Home Rule Bill through the breezy committee stage have noted amendments made in the original pro- visions submitted to the Hondo of Com- mune, but the general effect of these alterations must have been greatly dimmed by the hasty and meagre char. actor of the information supplied by the cable correspondente concerning them. We have now the complete text of the bill as amended before us, and as this is the measure that will be sent to the Lords this month for acceptance or rejection it ie well worth perusal on its merits and independeutly of the draft from which it has been evolved. At tho outset thia bill, says the Empire, provides for the establishment of two Houses, a Legislative Council and a Legielattve Assembly in Dublin, which Legisiature shah have power to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Ireland in reepeot of matters exclusively relating to Ire- land. The bill sets forth that the powers of the Irish Legislature shall not extend to the making dolly law respebting the establishment or endow- ment of religion, whether directly or indirectly, or prohibiting the free ex et'ppise of any religion, or imposing any disability, or conferring any privilege AU *90010.:qf; ein r Ieligipus bel ofe or ttlt'ettt-.ng the larva governing persenel prep yr 'tee ettst4(attce of pitblitl eeiieele ()ltd ee fetal.

Tire executive petver iu Irelsud ()hall continue vested in the Severeign and the chief execo• the offerer or of iters, who obeli 14e full power to give or tvithhuld aedu1t to any bill() paatied by, the Irish Legisla- ture. The financial clauses which come next in order are not so eiteeept• ible of brief explanation. Era It transitional period of six years Eug• land will make ,her budgets as usual, bestowing upon Ireland whatever amount of attention justice, knowledge of Irish needs and the influence of eighty Irish members at Weetwineter may be able to demand or command. It is necessary to add that the duties of customs or excise ate not to be trans ferred to the Irish Legislature atter the expiration of the tiaueitional period. Like transitory provisions apply to the appointment of a judge of the Supreme Court or other Superior Court in Ire- land. This brings us to the vexed question of the retention of the Irish members in the Imperial Parliament and their tides there. The meaning of the bill in its present shape ie that Ireland will send eighty members to Westminster instead of one hundred and three. They will vote on all queetione as they have done in the past. The regulations made in the bill as to the establish- ment of local police forces and as to the Royal Irish Constabulary and Dub, lin Metropolitan police force ceasing to exist are detailed at considerable length, and the pension systern seems to be stated.,; with equal elaboration. Police officers and men asked to retire under these provisions of the bill shall in no case receive pensions exceeding the maximum awarded under the exist- ing law. Such is a colorless outline of the provisions which the lrish members will have to carry through its third reading before it reaches the House of Lords. That it does not meet their expectations is as clear as is the uncom• promising Uuionist opposition which will be offered to the bill to the end. Even the majot,Ity who carried the var- ious centime through committee—badly mangled, it is true, but carried by hook or croak—do nut hope for any progress beyond the third reading till another verdict of the constituencies has been recorded. CURRENT TOPICS The Yankee preen are echoing the trumpet eounda of their confreres, the Reform press of the Dominion. And the . cause of it all is because the Supreme Grand Orange Lodge did not resolute to suit disloyal ideas. Dr. Jenkins, who is inIcharge of the New York quarantine station, shows a decided improvement in his methods duce last year. IIe declares that he has now a real cholera patient on his hand, buthemakes no offortto scare the public with his news. Experience keeps the hest school ; it is only under this teacher that a certain class of peo- ple, professional as well as non•pro• fessional, can possibly leal'n common settee. Stratford daily Herald of last Friday truthfully remarks : Mr. A. M. Todd, publisher of the Clinton NEWS -RECORD, was in town this morning on hie:return from a trip along the North Channel route to the Sault. He had a drive over some 80 miles of Ontario Govern- ment colonization roads in Manitoulin Island, where the settlers bitterly coni plain thatsince A.F. Campbell (Conser- vative) was elected the Government has refused any more expenditures on the roads and they are consequently in a wi•etcised state. Sir Oilver Mowat uses colonization road expenditures as bribes to elect Grit members, and it ie simply n case of " No Grit vote, no colonization road money." The financial and business depree• Ilion at present prevalent in the States lsaa resulted in a large army of unem- ployed men springing up and many of them are heading for Canada. In fact the advance guard is already reported to have made its appearance at different places and the Hamilton Harald states that almost every train arriving there brings from two to half a dozen of them. According to the Herald these "broken down ones from the land of bank smashes are mostly young," and they are an abled bodied class. About the only Canadians.who will be glad to welcome those visitors will bo the Grit leaders and editors. They have been pretty hard up for some time to find anything to any against the prose parity of the Dominion but the vision of these unemployed swarming here is making them rub their hands with such gleeful fervor as to make the knuckles crack. If these gentry from the domain of the eagle's scream find themselves becoming enthused over in certain quarters to an embarrassing extent they will know that the enthus• era are Reform tramps who are as bard up politically as they are industrially and who have melted an able bodied idle man to fuss over for some years past. - ,i►.

Blyth was quite astir Thursday when it became definitely known that the Hon. J C. Patterson, M. P.,, finiater of Militia and Defence, would pay a short and. in- formal visit to the town. Local cow. mittees were soon at work. Mr.Patter.. son, who was accompanied by Mr. J. Beck, president of the association, was received at the Commercial hotel by a large number of the Conservatives of tha town and the townships. Upon being escorted to the balcony of the hotel a very neat sernade of mnsio was tendered by the town band, under the competent leadership of Mr. S. Gidly, and the fol. lowing'addrees was read by Mr. T. V. Scott, i -- Hoe. J. C. l'.tttereon, 11i4,0erof Militiaand Defence. - DEAR Sia,—We, the Liberal• Conservatit•es of this portion of the west tiding of Huron and the village of Myth, have great pleasure in welcoming you to this locality upon this your ti.st omit, We bag to assure you that we hailed with satisfaction your victory in the recent election in re cameos the west riding of Huron.

Signed on behalf of the local Conser- vative association. J nHN BELL, JOHN WILPon n, Secretary. President local Cun.Ass'u. HON. MR. PATTERSON'S REPLY. Mr. Patterson, replyin,t, expressed .himself as being very thankful to his friends in Blyth and this portion of his constituency for the hearty reception accorded him and the kindly references expressed (toward him) in the address which had been just read. He wished to assure those present that his present visitwas entirely non-political, that having the interests of his riding before him his present appearance was entirely a friendly call. IIe was pleased to note the very prosperous condition ot the county and the happiness of the people; that having very recently made a trip through the North-west and to the coast., he was grateful to be able to state that the same happy condition of things existed all along the route he passed; and having returned via the United States a different oond;tion of affairs existed there. The hon. gentle- man referred at some length to his de- partment, and aesrsred those present that the militia of Canada, composed as it is of loyal Conservatives and Reformers alike, would have hia care that all promotions and other matters whatso- ever claiming his attention would be fairly considered,. entirely irrespective of party or political bias. Again having thanked his friends and assured thefn that he would havo much pleasure in carrying to his colleagues the warm ex• pressionaextendedto him in the address presented, he concluded by again thank, ing the many friends who surrounded for the hearty reception accorded him. AT THE FEiTIVE BOARD. After the presentation of the address Mr. Patterson and the members of the committee, accompanied by a number of their friends, adjourned to the dining room where a substantial supper was served, and a very pleasant and enjoy•• able evening spent. After several songs had been given by Messrs. F. Tanner, J. Taylor, J. "Bell and others, Mr. Carter was called upon. In the course of his remarks he referred to the pleasure it gave him to welcome the Hon. Mr. .Patterson to Blyth, and to hear his views on the great and burning question of' emigra, tion to the great North-west and the resources and development of the country, as conepared to the much boasted western suttee. He said that from his own personal experience, he grorn now till ist of August our summer , Stu. s must be cleared out at so;e price.

MONTREAL HOUSE. could fuliy endorse all that the hon. gentleman had said, and begged leave to add that so far as he could see there appeared to be very little raised in the western states, save a very large quantity ot 'jack rabbits," otherwise the general sterility of the soil was very great. IIe felt that this country had a great future before it, so long aa it re, mained true to the principles and the party which had its true welfare at heart. He always had been, and would always remain, a staunch • supporter of the great Conservative party, as he h•inestly and firmly believed it to bo ttie party under whose rule Canada hal and would continue to advance socially and finan- cially. Mr. Carter also referred to the present monetary crisis in the United States, and concluded by saying that it gave him much pleasure to welcome Mr. Patterson there that evening, and to assure him that the people of Blyth would ever remain true to the great cause and party whose representative the hon. member was. Mr. J. H. Tanner, who has just returned from a lengthy stay iu England, then rose and said he had much pleasure in introduc- ing to those present a gent;eman whose acquaintance he had made in England, and who would no doubt give them a few words. He begged to introduce Mr. J. Tar lor, of Liver- pool. 1MR, TAYLOR'S RR'TARKS. Mr. J. 'Taylor, of Liverpool, who was heartily received, remarked that although quite unexpected by him to say anything, yet he felt pleasure and thanked those pre - seat for the opportunity of joining them in doing honor to Mr. Patterson. Ho spoke freely upon the Cauadiat emigration policy, and would venture to state that in his opinion the frequent complaints made by people emigrating to Canada were ground- less ; that thrifty, energetic young men could soon make for themselves comfortable homes of plenty and ease, He said that much ignorance of the natural advantages of Canada prevailed in the British public niinrl. At the conclusion of Mr. Taylnr'e speech Mr. Tanner again rose, and said, with re- gard to Mr. Taylor's remarks ahmt emigra- tion to the North•west, he could in a great measure coincide with what had been said, but there was one thing which he thought the last speaker had omitted to mention, and that was the fact that the bulk of the young men who came out from the old country were the sone of well-te-do people who had given theme liberal education, and had carefully trained them, but that they were altogether unused to manual labor of any Bort ; consequently they were totally unfitt- ed for the toil and hardships of a new coun- try like the North west. That oeing so, they were easily dincouregod,and soon rater ed home, giving such exaggerated and min• leading accounts ef the country, as prevent- ed any others from coming out. Another great feature in the case was the fact that Canada did not boom the country in the same way that our neighbors aoroee the bor- der did theirs. At the same time he believed that the various Canadian emigration agencies in the large cities and towns of Eng. land were well managed and were doing a gond work. The question had been melted oyer and over sgatn by people in England, " Why deem not Canada progress at the same rate as the great American Republic?" to which he always gave answer that the great mase of the sixty millions ars made up of, to be- gin with, with the freed ,laves of the enuth, and afterwards by the sonnringe cf all the natione of the continent, While tho growth of Canada has been slow, it has beeSteady, and not only se, but the right sort of emi- grants only have come here ; men whose de- sire was to found a new and perineuout home in a mew and risiug country, and not to escape from the hands of justice kr some crime or crimes committed in their own land. Th,se facts tended towards an abnor- mal growth, such as hae not been equalled by any net;on in ancient or modern tune?, and it is quite unfair to pit Canada against such a nation, inetaad t f judging her growth in comparison with the colonies of Australia, New Zealand and other pos- sessions in various parte of the world. Tbie state of things, he thought, ought, and in fact roust, be remedied before any '- great change could take place. In conclu- sion, he said ho c,uld not let the evening pass without I word r f praise for Sir Charles Tupper, the High Commissioner, whom be thought to be the right man in the right place, and the result el whose present work in England and the continent would be ap- parent in the near future ; iu fact, he thought he could safely say, Canada had never produced a batter man or greater statesman,' MR. KELLY'S SPEECLI. Mr. P. Kelly, who aroeo aurid cheers, said: (, ntiemen,—I roust apol•Agize for tre>spaa,- ing on your time, . wieg to the lateness of the hour, hut it has given me much pleasure this evening to hear the speeches of the Ilc.n, Itlr. Pattereou and others, who have given us their views as to the various mat - ,tern affecting the welfae ed our country. I was particularly pleased to hear Mr. Tay ler of Liverpool, and Mr. I• H. 'fanner, who has spent nearly a year in England, express. themselves in the manner they did. As an old resident of the country, I ca snot allow the present opportunity to pass away with- out testifying to the great advance I every- where see around me. It is now nearly 40 years since first I came to this province of Ontario. When first I came here there was nothing but brush, and before a settler could do anything ho had to put up a wooden house, and the hardships and trials of pion- eer life, were many. But it is.to these early pioneers, and I say it with pride, that we owe all the many advantages which we now enjoy. It is for us then to carry on the work which they began, so that we may hand down to our sons and those who corse after us a heritage and possession in land, which our forefather's brought out of •dark• nese into light. This can only be done by placing the advantages of our country prop- erly before the people of England, and especi- ally the rural population. Ile believed that the various Uumioion agencies in the large centres of England were working faithfully, and, after giving this question some coni eration, what he thought would be more ad- ventageoue was to have agents in the rural districts,men who horoughly ki ow the coun- try and the Wass of people required here, who would explain thoroughly all the bene- fits to be derived. By the emigration:of euoh practical people. the obstacles com- plained of would soon bo overcome and the prosperity of the country assured. In ad- dition. to the great public developments, he very forcibly urged the eetaolishing of a fast line of mail steamers between Cang,da and the old country, thus completing tht, . Ater - prises of the C. P. R. and the Australian lines by forming in one vast chain the whole of the British empire. In oonulueion he said he was pleased to have our honored guest here to -night, land hoped he 'would be long eparod(%to represent the people of the West Riding of Huron. After a few temarke by the Hon. Mr, Pat- terson and after a very pleasant evening, the oompany broke up, having given three hearty cheers for the 'guest of the evening and sung "God Save the Queen."
