THE PEOPLE'S RE-
PRESENTATIVE.
Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister
of Militia and Defence,
VISITS CLINTON AND NEIGH-
BORHOOD,
He and Family are Well Received
by all Classes of People.
The Minister attends a Threshing,
Visits Bayfield, and Dines
with the Reeve of Goderich
Township,
As every reader of the Ti•u NEws-
REConn is aware, the HoN. J. C.
PATTEnsos, Miuisterof'Militia and De-
fence, and the popular • member fur
West Huron, has been taking a few
weeks quiet rest at that beautiful sum-
mer resort, the Point Far in, off Gude-
rich. His private secretary and fami-
ly accompanied him. Since arriving
in the sliding the electors have had an
opportunity of personally meeting tho
distinguished gentleman, and at every
point hundreds of electors, low and
high, greeted the Minister with that
warmth and spirit of kin that has
marked the makeup of the loyal Cana-
dian yeomanry in all time.
Last Thursday afternoon the Minis-
ter and party were uonveyed by vehicle
from G)dorich to Clinton. As has
been the case all over the Riding,
the 'visit was of a nonpolitical
mature. In fact toe shell an extent was
tthis true that no ono seemed to know
.definitely that the ;Minister was com-
ing or even that he had arrived. It
de not then a surprise that many
;loyal Reformers had aettially welcom-
ed the Minister of Militia before and
after his arrival.
The visit was made, very properly,
.its the representative of all people. That
is ono feature in polities THE NEWS RE
CORD admires. There should not, and
is not, any distinction made with the
electors. A man is elected to Parlia-
ment to represent tho electors of the
whole Riding. In consequence Mr.
Patterson carne to Clinton in a non-
political way and we are gratified to
know that he wee received in that
s0nse.
On Thursday evening and Friday
morning Conservatives. and Reformers
alike welcomed the Minister to Clinton.
The pioueera with streaming silver
locks ---the farmer, manufacturer, me -
Oltenia and laborer—all, were received
by the distinguished Minister in a man-
ner that made ono and all feel that
4
r,
they, es citizens, were on the same
broad level.
Friday morning a party cousieting of
Deputy•R'Qeve Kennedy, Meagre. John-
ston, Cahtelon, Doherty. and the
editor of THE NEWS RECORD drove out
the Ilayfreld Liue to a threshing bee
on the farm• of Mr. John Sheppard,
Sr. The steam thresher of Mr. Per-
due was Hard at work end everything
activity. An, tinny of noble and
loyal tillers of the soil were engaged
in the labor of the husbandman. Mr.
Sheppard produced splendid samples
of wheat that would average 30 to 40
h"nehels an acre ; peas and oats, of a
high quality, will yilild a good crop.
Tho steam was shut off and the 25 or
HON. J. C. PATTERSON, M. P.
Mtni'terof Mi'itia and Defence.
30 sturdy farmers shook hands with the
Minister anti conversed on scatters 're-
lating to tite farm and the general pros -
petty of our own Canadian country.
sIrs. Sheppard iu the meantime had
prepared a genuine Canadian farts
dinuor and all sat down to a spread
that did not indicate starvation or even
hard. tinea.. 11 r. Sheppard is an ordinary
farmer, but Ile is not one of the poverty-
stricken kind the Globe tells us about.
In fact they are few and far between
in the West hiding of Huron or in
Ontario for that part.
The Minister made a short call on
Deputy -Reeve Beacom and shook
!lauds with his pioneer and honored
mother, now iu her 94th year and as
ever a true British Canadian.
Bayfield was visited and the harbor
viewed. The old flag loyally floated
in the brhze off Lake Huron in honor
to the Queet,'a represeutative. The
party were joined by Reeve Woods and
Messrs. Beacom, Dresser, Murray, J.
and A.I1'ergusou, Heuston, Morgan and
several others. The harbor was closely
viewed by the Minister and the matter
of repairs and possibly improvements
will no doubt Le brought before the
Government.
On the return, in passing Captain
McDonald's, the Minister of Militia
could not resist.eeeiug the old veteran
whom he personally knew. The visit
was of course not official, but the Cap-
tain had his armory in a high state of
efficiency and was -complimented by
the hon. gentleman. '
Reeve John Cox was called on and
the party hospitably received. Mrs.
and Mise Cox soon had a tempting tea
ready. Talk about hard times among
the fanners 1 The splendid spread, the
magnificent outbuildings and comfort-
able residences all along are a correct
indication of genuine prosperity and
plenty. And a personal view at this
season of the year, the wind-up of the
harvest and beginning of threshing
eeaeon, is enough to convince the most
sceptical.
From thie to Clinten, some six miles,
was a very pleasant drive. Better
roads would be hard indeed to find.
More industrious people there is not in
.Ontario.
At dlinton from seven o'clock in the
evening hundreds of people lined the
streets. All were anxious to see the

• leader of the band by Melt Huron's
popular member. Hundreds of
the electors gathered end were intro-
duced to the hon. gentlemen and the
throng continued until about 11
o'clock.
The following address was presented
to the distinguished visitor:—
Clinton, Aug. 25th, 1893,
To Hon..T, C. Patterson, Minister of Militia.
DEAR SIH,—Allow us in this some-
what informal way to welcome you
amongst us once more. We are aware
that you have for some weeks been
dbmiciled at the pleasant Point Farm,
and we are pleased to learn that you
have found a health -renewing resort in
the constituency which you so honor-
ably represent. But while • taking a
necessary vacation from your arduous
'duties as a minister of the Crown, we
find that vont have not forgotten to
cultivate rho emenities which should
subsist between the people of, West
Huron and yourself as their represen-
tative, regardless of the bonds of parti-
sanship.
We have watched with interest and
approval the urtosten'atiousJ�nr1auner in
which youhave gone amongithe people
in your endeavor to make yourself ac-
luainted with their wants and views.
As this is not a political address we
refrain from references of a purely
political character. We are, Sir, to
recognize you as a Minister of the
Crown and as one of the Executive of
a Parliamentary Government of the
freest apd most prosperous people
'within the world-wide domain of the
British Empire and consequently the
freest and most prosperous on earth.
We congratulate yon for your patri-
otic utterances on all public questions.
breathing, as they have invariab y done
the loyalty of the patriot, the ulgnity
of an adviser of the Queen, the tolera-
tion of the statesman and the practical
common-sense of the ratan of the
people.
Competent judges bear their meed of
praise for the reforms you have inaug-
urated in the Department ander your
immediate control—that of Militia..
And we cannot allow to pass unrecord-
ed our approval of your order insisting
that the I3ritisll flag is a flag of tolera-
tion and freedom, knowing neither
creed, nor race, and that we shall be
allowed to salute the ships of friendly
foreign powers that may visit. our ports
though the mistaken zeal of otherwise
loyal Canadians would refuse the cour-
tesy.
While not selfish we may refer to the
satisfactory manner in which you have
secured just and needful appropriations
for public improvements to this I;siding
and we feel you will spare no efforts to
forward the legitimate i,pterests of
West Huron in common with those of
the whole of our glorious Dominion.
Bound up as we Canadians are in the
welfare of our country, almost irrespec-
tive of party, and in the furtherance of
Canada as a nation within that, Ern pir'eof
nations—Britain—we can nothelp poiet-
in • to the object lesson that is now
held up to the world by the existing
state of affairs in the Republic to the
south of us, where bankruptcy and dis-
union permeate from the Atlantic to
the Pacific—where another war of
secessions caused by commercial at11(1
industrial disaster is threatened in high
quarters by the Governors of Western
and Southwestern States who have
issued calls for conventions toar'riutgca
commercial ration separate front Ike rest o/'the
boasted (Io millions.
We do not exultingly point to the
olitlienit1(S of our neighbors; but with-
out 1>h:11181ical indulgence we can
"Thank God we are not as they are.,,
Fora moment we slight refer to the
eminently -satisfactory results of the
Behring Sea Arbitration, and which
result in a great measure is doe to the
efforts of your colleagues, the Premier
of this Dominion, Sir John Thompson
;Ind the Hon. Mr. Tupper, Minister of
Marine and Fisheries. The result of
the arbitration concedes what Canada
contended for, and the moral force of
the Empire will cause the decision to he
respected and ample damages secured
to Canadian sealers for the piratii'al
attacks upon them by Americans. If
separated from the Empire the United
States would hayeconsidered that Can-
ada did not have any rights that should
be respected.
We cannot conclude this rather
lengthy address without, tendering our
most hearty welcome to Mrs. Patter-
son and your daughters, who accompany
you, and may they long he spared to
grace the station which their virtues
and your talents eminently entitle
them to.
Signed on behalf of your well-wishers

The Iron. Mr. Patterson replied in
most eloquent and happy terms. In
speaking he did not refer in the re-
motest degree to politics, but spoke
specially on the general appearance of
the grand and wealthy County of
Huron—the magnificent farms, splen-
did crops, costly buildings, extensive
orchards, good roads and consequent.
prosperity of our people as compared
with other nations. His words were
full of deep thought and met with the
approval of friend and foe. To love
one's own country is not politics.
And Mr. Patterson loves his country.
He referred to his pleasant so-
journ among the electors of West
Huron and the kindly manner in
which he had been received in all parts
of the Riding, piomising continued
faithfulness to the people and his
country.
On Saturday, the day was spent in
Wingham, where a very cordial recep-
tion was extended and the public
builefinge, .factories and private resi-
dences. viewed. In the evening the

secretary, Mrs. Patterson an family

The vinic here has been of the moat
aatiefectory nature to the whole people.
The Hon. Mr. Patterson has shown
himself to be a thorough statesman and
a than of the people. He hoe met all
classes, low and high, rich and poor.
A more pupular, painstaking and con
ecientious statesman and representative
the electors of West Huron oan never
find.
THEY LIKE THE TRUTH.
This week we have received a large
number of lettere for publication.
Every one of them refer to the unten-
able position the Seafurth Expositor
has taken in reference to recent doings
of the Grand Orange Lodge of British
America. Our totem. made many
bold assertions and eel ions chargee, but
has failed to support any of them with
proof THE NEWS -RECORD has proven
that the .chargee are not true. In the
face of the fact that the Erpottilo• has
beaten a hasty retreat by nut making
good its assertions or in any way de-
fending its position, we have decided
to not at present publish the letters.
In the meantime THE NEWS RECORD
would iuvite the Expositor to make
good its reckless assertions. He will
not do it. •
A SENSIBL E CL ERC: Y..1IA N.
Recently the Episcopal church of
the United States ordered "prayers" for
the prevention of cholera. Dr. Mc-
Connell, of Philadelphia, ono of the
ablest clergymen on the continent, posi-
tively refused to obey the order. He
said :—
"I have been instructed by my eccles•
iastical superior to use a prayer to the
Almighty God to avert the cholera. But
cholera is a dirt disease. 11 is therefore
a preventable disease. To prevent the
cholera we have only to remove the
dirt. If you leave the dirt you invite
the cholera. This City of Philadelphia is
lull of filth which nobody is trying to
remove. '1'o let- the filth remain and
pray God to keep away the cholera is
to trifle with the cholera and with God.
While that filth is allowed to remain I
refuse to offer up such prayers.
That preacher is right. The i ict-
dent recalls the action of Lord Palmer-
ston who, when interviewed with a de-
putation from a cathedral district to
bury their late lamented bishop in the
cathedral contrary to the burial act,
bluntly refused, saying he could never
comprehend why people would take
any kind of delight in having the flesh
of even a bishop decaying under their
nostrile. Soon afterwards a great
cholera Scare seized the British nation,
and always strong in their belief or
desire to cotnpel people to pray, the
clergy petitioned that same noble lord
to set apart a dry for national . fasting
and prayer. Lord Palrnerston again
refused, and auggested that the clergy
and the nation, instead of wasting time
praying and fasting, should roll up
their sleeves and clean out their back
yards, remove filth and purify their
premises. That, he said, would do
stere to remove cholera than a month
of prayer and fasting. • Of course the
answer wits not satisractory but it had
ice effect.
Prayer may be all right ; it is all
right; but cleanliness is absolutely
necessary. It is 10111)ed, practical
praying.—Lindsay Warder. -
A MAN OF TIIE PEOPLE..
The Globe and the grit press of
Huron have made the monstrous charge
that "Hun. J. C. Patterson does not
ride in the same cars as the ordinary
herd or breathe the same air as com-
mon people." THE PEOPLE of this
county, and the blind partisans who
make the charge, know quite different.
Mr. Patterson was in Clinton and
neighborhood for several days and Re-
for'tnere give the lie to the utterances
of their untruthful organs. The Min-
ister is a man of the people. The
partisan stress should "go for him"
becauso be found comfort and travelled
in a smoker car to London last Mon-
day. The Hon. J. C. Patterson truly
mixes with the people and the electors
of this section know it. And they
know that the Almighty gives us all
the same healthful air.
Toronto has decided against Sunday
street ears by a majority of 1,003
13,154✓ votes wore polled for and 14,157
against.
The Icon. J. C. Patterson has created
a saving of $10,000 a year in the De—
partment of Militia through a re-
arrangement of the staff in several dia.
'riots. And the efficiency of the force
hag been Strengthened at the game time.

John Britton, Finlay Anderson
John Bowers,the arbitrators appointed
by the County Council to determine
the merits of the petition of P. Kelly
and others asking for the formation pf

made at the first meeting at Auburn •
toany action being taken at all on the
gr,ounds of irregularity in petitioning
the township councils. At the same,
tinte it was urged that 'any award
would be invalid. Letters from the
Educational Department were Sled
sustaining these objections. The
arbitrators adjourned to meet at call
of the chairman who was to submit
these points to Hon. G. W. Ross to
decide. The deputy replied deciding
both points ageinst the petitioners.
The Hon. G. W. Ross, on Aug. 3rd,
wrote Mr. Britton that the arbitrators
trust proceed and the force of any
alleged irr'egularities were to be decided
by the courts. Hence the meeting in
Blyth. D. E. Munro, who had received
from the chairman a copy of his
correspondence with the Department,
also wrote addin • some ftrrther in-
formation and asked for the minister's
decision on the disputed points above.
mentioned, also urged that the Minister
advise the arbitrators to report no
chane now necessary. A course
which would give all concerned more
time for consideration and allow the .
petitioners to begin again. The Minis-
ters reply was received and tiled. It
reaffirmed the irregularity of the
petitioners, held that arbitrator's must
act, and advised that tt report he made
that no change was necessary. This
course was adopted. A curious point
was raised, would not this shut out the
petitioners for five years? The Minister
is certainly not of that opinion, Besides
the arbitrators action did not form a
new section, nor alter the boundariesundaries
or dissolve any of the sections concern-
ed. The five yeasts limitation applies
only to cases where a new section is
formed, after that period it can be at-
tacked yearly years. Finally justice
