He and Colleagues will visit Clinton on September 26th. The Premier of the Dominion, Sir John Thompson, and Colleagues, leave arranged a programme and will address the messes- of the people in Ontario. Among the places named for visite of the distinguished representatives is Clinton. The date has boen set for Tuesday afternoon, September 26th, at one o'clock. Among the party will be :— SIR JOHN THOMPSON, Premier. EON.GEO. E. FOSTER, Finance Minister. .HON. JOHN HAGGART, 'Mini- ster of Railways and Canals. HON. J. C. PATTERSON, Minis- ter df Militia, - HON. N. 0. Wallace, Comptroller .of Customs. W. H. MONTAGIJE, M. P. We do not know that any town in Western Ontario hes eyer been favored with a visit from such notables at ono time, Every one of the gentlemen are known to every elector in the Dominion as broad-minded and success ful statoemen; the chosen representa- tives of the Queen of Groat Britain and the electors of Canada. It, has always been a feature, a coin• mendable feature, of the leaders of the groat and progressive Conservative Party to meet rho electors—TBE PEO- PLE—as frequently as poseible. It has over been the desire of tho Govern- ment of the Dominion to be in touch with the maseea and know from person- al observation and unbiased enquiry the wants or even demands of the Canadian nation. Tho tour of the Premier and his colleagues, and the addressee to be do - levered, will place before the whole people the splendid past record of the Government and their future policy. Sir John Thompson, all must con cede, is a distinguished etateaman, a man whore great ability has been recognized the world over for years, in the reoent Behring Sea arbitration, aud for his personal saor•ifioee in the advancement of Canada and the Groat Britieh Empire. Tho Premier and his colleagues will address public meetings in the follow ing Ridings the latter part of S ertom bar and early part of October :—North Waterloo, South Perth, North Perth, Etat Bruce, South Grey, Noah Bruce, North Wellington, Ilaldiutand and Monk, Emit Elgin, Kent and Both- well, North Middlesex, West Huron (Clinton, Sept. 26), and East Simco,. The Empire of Saturday eays :— "The Chieftain will be accompanies by several of his colleagues. At a number of leading points the distill.. guished visitors have been tendered complimentary hanquets. Some of these may have to be declined, because of the limited time at the disposal of the party. It goes without ',eying that the meetings to be addressed by Sir John Thompson and the able public men who are asso• Mated with him will be just such gatherings as have always greeted our Conservative statesmen in this province. The Premier and his colleagues will be greeted by thousands of enthusiastic Canadians who have supported the Con- servative party in their policy of Cana. dian development and progress, and who are reedy just as heartily as ever to sus- tain them for the future. We con ratu. late our friends upon the splendid ar• range ments which we learn are every- where being made for the gatherings. They have a grand cause, a brilliant and an honored leader, land we are glad they aro determined to make their receptions worthy of the one and the other." THE NEws RECORD hopes to see a mouster gathering of electors greet the people's representatives in Clinton on September 26th. Ai' angements are already under way and the Local Association will meet in the Council Chamber on Friday evening at 7.30 to further complete the necessary details. NUTS FOR LAURIER TO CRACK. In Ontario the Grits have placed eggs in the nest aud hatched' them. Laurier is now on a tour ofd Ontario and is following up the denunciation of Sir John Thompsou and the Conser- vative Party. A Roman con- vert lectured in Clinton last woek. The Premier was vividly hold up to ridicule, while not not ono word was uttered against ehoot-the•voluntoors Laurier. It makes a difference to some professing Reform cbristian people whose ox is gored. We like British fair play to even those who do not agree with us on religious matters. The Grits harp about Sir John Thompson being en Euglish Roman Catholic and app• laud Laurier and auppo'l him because he is a French Ronieu Catholic. Sir John Thompson has proven himself a true British subject. Mr. Laurier has proven himself a disloyal British sub- ject and a wing of the Reform Party eudoree his dual position, All Liber• uta will not eupport Laurier because the grand old Britieh flag and British connection will be their watchwoid, The Huntingdon Gleaner (Liberal), in ire issue of Saturoay, published a lengthy protest against the policy of I -[on. . Mr. Laurier. "The whole cause of the Liberal chief," it says, is unintelligible, except on the assumption that he does .not re• cognize the obligations binding on Can. ada as part of the British Empire. He may be willing to accept British protection so long as we pay nothing for it, hut, we are not hound to be true to the flag if it is co cost us anything. His loudly repeated declamations of loyalty are then but empty sounds. The country does not need a long memory to recall hie tweet' at Halton, when lie would not ac apt commercial union because it would be an injury to Britain, and how it took only two or three days for his loyalty to ooze out and for, Trim to accept, with Sir Richard Cartwright, the principle of 'diaerimis nation against the mother country. Another of Mr. Laurier's beliefs is in a union. between '.the a t.i�lialt epeu:ki><tg notions. But if ere analyze this,. coupled with the idea of discrituiutta tion in favor of the United States rind Against Britieh countries, it is trot hard• to flee its resemblance to tbo potiey of Mr. Mercier, to strike for the iudepend• slice of Canada s0 ae to put her in a poeiti0n to .rook unuexetion to the Uuited States. Mr. Letari*rr has not repudiated the feature of unrestricted reuiproeity that involves anti British discriruivation. lie will not, u"lesa under coercion. Loyal liberate are therefore bound to withhold their sups port from him, and to demand a new leader with an unequivocal policy before they will lend their help to re- turning Mr. Lender -to power," STILL IN A CORNOR. The Seaforth Expositor asserted the' the.. Grand Orange Lodge of British America passed resolutions to "gag" the primary lodges and wrote a column denouncing the Grand Master and the whole Grand Lodge membership. Tun Ntttys RECORD pointed out the fact that the representation was so dir- ect that the great majority—the "rank and file"—would not pass resolutions to "gag" themeelvea ; that Orangemen know more of the requirements of the Order than "political adventurers" without. The Expositor replied in an unmanly personal attack on the editor of this paper.to prove what is not true. THE News-11EcoRu replied and quoted verbatim all the Expositor had said. That journal dues not like the merits of its editor discussed, while he desires the liberty unchallenged to vilify an Institution founded on liberties he would gladlyeubveit to all the tyranny of the darkest ages. Our "Protestant" friend does not like to be taken by th horns and have his position reversed. Oh, no ! The Expositor is still iu a coruor. Atter a couple of weeks silence the New Protestant Champion is forced to Bay :— ' We made no reference to a couple of columns of nonsense it (Tire NEtrs•lts- CORD) indulged in last woek in criticism of the Repot/ter. Our space is too precious to be wasted in personal re. criminations with THE NEws.REooRD. It is a matter of very.little concern to the public what the future aims of the Editor of this journal (tlte Expositor) or .of the Editor of THE News -RECORD either, may be. • ' • • Now if THE NEWS - RECORD has proven our charges untrue, what is the use of its calling on us to make good statements that it bas prov- en untrue ?" The "couple of columns" of "nou• sense" was a column. A good portion was the "nonsensical" utterances of the Expositor. We gave it to show our readers what "nonsense" the E.r- p,ositor was dishing up to its readers and to show that its space was not "too precious to be wasted in personal re• eliminations." When a man aspires to parliamentary honors and attacks untruthfully any respectable body of men and deals in personalities, be is open to honest public criticism. Our readers know the aspiring caudidate for South Huron. However, since the Expositor confesses that it has trade statements about the Grand Lodge that are not true, THE NEWS RECORD accepts the recautatiou. IIAl?L TO PLEASE. The report of the Leeds farmers' in- vestigation tour in the State of New York, as publishe3 in THE NEWS- RceonD, does not seem to please a por• tion of the peas. .They are not satis- fied because it has been clearly shown that Canadian farmers pay leas for what they consume and are in a much more prosperous condition than their American neighbors. The Grits will not, it appears, he satisfied nnlese the choice of the electors step down and odt. The voice of TUE PEOPLE rules and the verdict so often repeated from 1878 to the present will not likely he reversed when the Government again appeals to the country. The dirge taxation plank in the Reform -platform, if adopted, would burden the farmer tenfold, while the rich man would pocket his money notes. Dear farmer, your land and timber and buildings and stock cannot be concealed. The farmer and property owners would pay the bulk of taxes to Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright,under Reform rule, But the far'm'ers will not assist to change the present Government for one that' will assuredly increase their taxation. Sensible people would naturally desire to better their condition in making a change. Under the present system the farmer can live almost in luxury with- out contributing one cent to the re- venue of the country. isiesserrewarewiesieees "SELL FOR IV HA T YOU CAN I;ET." Sarnia Canadian. It is said that American manufacthrers have issued orders to their agents to go to Canada and sell goods for anything they can get for them, so as to relieve the "pinch" and help to reduce the sur, plus eltooke now lying on the hands of manufacturers, for which they chn find no market. "Sell for whatyou can get," we are credibly informed, is the full text of the commission given to agents. What a commentary on the market of Bitty millions. p, U.

And still our Reform friends will insist that the Uuited States is Canada'e "natural" market,` Are people so politically blind or dazed that they cannot see or read facie and - figured THE NEws•REConD would much rather see Canadians make money than have good money avilfully placed in the pockets of Amerieaue to the detriment of our farmers end ship- pere. Britain is our natural tnarket and she will pay more, quite naturally, to the Canadiaus, because wo produce and sell a superior quality. Farmers)' surely, are not 'going to be deceived and allow their profits to go to Yankee middlemen. THE MINISTER OE MILITIA. Among other %hinge the Era, in re- ferring to the Clinton visit of the Mintater of Militia, says :— "The Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister of Militia, accompanied by his wife and family and,Private Secretary, spent afew days in town last week, making his headquarters at the Rattenbury House. As soon as his presence was known numbers of his supporters (and a few Liberate) called upon him. • • • Friday evening the new town band serenaded him and were rewarded by a donation of $15. In the brief speech that he made he complimented the members on their proficiency and skill, particularly as this was their first public appearance. ' • • Saturday he visited several of the industries about town, complimented the people of town on its Olean and tidy appearance. It is only reasonable to assume that the majority of those who palled upon him were in full sympathy with the Govern, mentof which he is a member and that his visit here was on the whole a pleasant one." Our cotom,, one might think, bad also been present at the "welcome," but if such were the naso the Era would not be iu a position to add that "un - lees," &c., &c. Pronounced Conoervs- tives, we have the "authority" of those who profess to know, aro with the government. Where could "pro- nounced" Conservatives be if they were not? And still our cotem•desires to lead people to believe that +' pro- nounced Conservatives" who called on the Minister were not with the Govern- ment. SIXTY MILL ION MAliIiET. It is stated that American nranufao' tutors are about to slaughter their pro- ductione on the Cana,lian market. If we had free trade or commercial union or reciprocity or annexation, .what would the result bo ? There would be a reduction aud a direct loss to the Canadian frrnter on everything he ex• ports. The Canadian manufacturing industries would be compelled to close their doors. Aud we do not know of any town of its size that would Buller mole than the town of Clinton. For iu- stance, close the Doherty organ factory and sec the effect it will have on Gtit and Tory mechanics Ail l all classes of business nom. THE PEOPLE'S J?EPRES ]N- 9 A Tl 17;. Lost week THE NEWS -RECORD said that the member for \fest Huron was THE' PEOPLE'$ roprenontative. The whole course of the M1uister of tlilitia in and out of parliament stamps him as a broad minded and conscientions states man. Mr. Patterson takes no credit for advanciug or promoting a political opponent. He knows no politico in the Department of Militia, or as mem- Lor for West Huron. This was clearly demonstrated in his recent visit to this Riding. And the liberal mind of the Hon. J. C. Patterson is acknowledged by thatstaunch Reform papor,the Wood- stock Sentinelliee'ieu', The Colonel it refers to is well known in IIuron as an uncotnpromisiug Reformer. What more couecientious member can the Re• form Patty desire? The S, -R. says :— "The appointment of' Lieut••Colonel AYr,MrER of London to he Assistant Ad. ,jutant.General at Ottawa is creditable to Major General [harmer, on whose re• commendation, it is said, the appoint. ment was made. But it is also credit- able to the Minister of Alilitia i for Pion. My. AYLtrER is a pronounced Liberal, and he has secured promotion through merit in spite of this fact. It is a pleasing incident for which credit should be given. Col. AYL3rh:R is a true soldier and no man in the service has shown himself more worthy of promotion, His many friends throughout western Ontario will be delighted to see the re. cognition of his character and ability for, which they looked years ago." CANADA IS SOUND. The healthy condition of Canadian finances and commerce has for some days been the subject of comment in London, Eng, Frequent references ere being mads to the prosperity of the Dominion es compared with the posi- tion of affairs in the United Status and Australia. At a luncheon in London last week attended by a number of pro- minent people, a tribute was paid to the strong poeition.of Canada, and apecial reference wag made to the soundness of Canadian banks. TH,? 4W4JU IS AL/ MO . The more the good people across the line with whom we have been to law probe' Igo intvarciuess of the arbjtra- torell the moro they aeetn to•flnd, says the Ottawa Citizou, that the tenor and effect of the Behring Sea eettle ment are against them. The New York Sun, after pointing out that the adverse decision of the arbitration upon the "mare clausum" and "property right" contentious of the Unitod States obliges the latter to atone for the seizure of Canadian vessels by peoun iary indemnity, takes up the question of the •regulations. Its conclusions are that this question should never have been submitted to arbitration at all ; that a conference of all the powers having territory bordering on the Pacific would best have carried out the purpose of safeguarding seal life. "Ae it is," nays the Sun. "neither Russia, nor Japan, nor China. nor Spain, nor Holland—we mention these last two powers because a vessel could/ be equipped for the seal fishery as well in Manila or Batavia as it can be in Victoria—is in the least affected by the regulations proscribing ,a close (mamon and a protected zone. Unless all the powore contiguous to the North Pacific choose to accept the regulations bind• ing on Great Britain and the United States alone, a vessel flying the Rua Sian, Japanese or Dutch flag may next year in the close season, and only ten feet beyond the ordinary three-mile limit, destroy seals by rifles and ex plosions under the novo of an American cruiser." CURRENT TOPICS. World the Signal please hear in mind that the Minister of Militia is likely to he jn West Huron on Sep• tenger 26th ? The Ilome Rule Bill was road the third time last Friday and carried by a majority of 34. It was then sent to the house of Lords, where the Bill was formally read the first tine. E. A. Macdonald of annexation notoriety is now out of gaol. He will ba able to shake hands with a great many deadbeats who deserve prison far more than he. He may see some such people driving about the streets while their creditors mourn. Justice seems to have' a grudge et Ernest Albert. The monutrent in memory of Sir John Macdonald, to be erected in Hamilton, bears on the faco of the pedestal the inscription "A Canadian statesman who valued British institu- tions as the true basis of the strength and pivaperity of the Dominion." These aro apt w rrds, and the life work of the veteran premier could not have been summed up in more true or terser terms. Arrsngowonts are now completed for the establishment of the wholesale co- operative society which has recently been in progress of formation to handle. colonial and other products fur the British market. Thera will be depots in Canada, Ireland, Danmark, France and the Unitod States. l;uyere aro to leave here immediately to open up the trade. T(t,e promoters of the new entterpriso say that in cheese ao,l fruit especially Canada is beating the United States out df the market. The cowardly assault on Canadian workingmen at Tonawanda does not look as if tbe United States was either "the land of the free or the home of the brave." It is not the land "where a man is a man if he's willing to toil" --for his fellowmen prevent him by brute force from toiling when he is willing to. Nor is it bravery to over- come honest toilers unprepared for attack by organised aud superior foram. Altogether it is becoming more ani more clear that the States is a good country 10 keep away from. Canada oughtto, be good enough for Canadians. A Toronto gentleman froth London said he had while there the pleasure of meeting Hon. Edward Blake, who looi.ed tired, thin and stooped, corn- paredwith hie old-time vigorous stride ie the streets of Toronto. He suspect- ed from what ho saw and heard from other's that the member for South Longford was tired of the whole busi• nose, and that he'd withdraw from it as soon as he could do so honorably. "lir. Blake," said ho, "went to be an associate of Gladstone and ho finds himself regarded as one of the ordinary Home Rulers." Mr. Blake after vot- ing a third time for the home Rule Bill, has left for Canada. The conclusion of the Leede County Farmers' delegation, as published in THE NEws•RECORD recently, cannot be too strongly impressed on the minds of Canadians. 1t reads thus : "From all we could learn wo found that farmers in Jefferson and St, Lawronoo Counties, where the visited, pay as much or moro for what they have to purchase and got no more for the pro- duce they have to sell than do farmers in the county of Leede. We also found that they are not any moro proe- POMMua, apd frgm 411 WO' could fialthet era mare hoevily wt,xtgagodthan frexAtertt to tbe Cortnty of .LRef1M,'welArn'4110 foundlthat Holl improveti`ffrnek, Qf tit,;,, very beat Or soil, flea f'ront' bro1Fert lands, and lying within from ,tw* ,io ten miles of the oity of Qgdaitttbu ;gr. well es in other locel.itea whoro,;wo made enquiries, can btl purcbaetirl pt}cjt, cheaper than lands of the eama gtielltt ., with same improvements similarly aced in the County of Leeds; b Node have depreciated in tralne•.p in the last ten years in St. T,ivwrenuti and Jefferson Counties than similafjv situated kande in the County of Leede:►!; The Signal has certainly, been',° wautonly "loaded up" when it ye the ',. proprietor of the Point Farm "loaded: up the talented young editor of P41$•: :'•. NEWS -.RECORD." We have not seen d'; J. Wright for many years. In fact WO have never met the gentleman to conn- verse with him. From his past clean•';i''. record and present popularity we ate safe in saying that he is not the style of , ratan our potent. pictures ham. Mr,. Wright is not in the "loading up" bnsi neva. The future arm of the Canadian militia is to be the Martini•Metford rifle. It is generally considered tosbe: the best-known single shooter and is said to possess advantagea over the magazine rifles that were chosen for the English and Continental armies because of their capacity for quick firing. It is a small bore rifle with a trajeotory so • slight that it is fired point-blank at. 500 yard`. The Canadian militiamen will be delighted to know that they are to be rid of tha Snider, which, at . its best is a heavy, cumbersome weapon —a relic of some other age. THE NEn's RECORD is pleased to learn that the "veracious" proprietor. of the Point Farw so successfully hand- led the editor of the Signal. The editor "hied" so freely that be actually shook hands with the Minister of Militia and, we believe, truly repented of his many sins against Her 'Majesty, the Queen. If he recovers it may be necessary, on the Minister's next visit, for the "versatile" preprietor of the Point Fru'm.to perform a second and more successful operation on the editor. Mr. Patterson will long live, but we have grave doubts for the future of the "lively" editor of our cotew. "The great Mogul or Mugwunp" of the Seaforth Smit must .tnderstand that the editor of this paper has "no axes to grind". The Sun's "Grit Orange and Tory Orange" screed baa not "es- caped the machinations of a desikiaing individual." The gratis dictum'' comes with bad grace, We might go on and say "in this instance" the San man had hie axe on the grindstone and even add' "some men are a curet," to this, that and the other thing with which they are connected, but what are you going to do shout it? Tne Irpositw• made au uutruthful political attack on the whole Orange body. THE News RE• CORD repudiated the slander. Orange- men control their own individual votes and will mark their ballots as they think proper, 1Veismillerhas beers nominated and McLean is the aspir- ing government candidate. There is nothing to prevent Orangemen voting for the latter, hut those who persecute the Orange Institution and its mem- bers cannot expect• touch support from that body. The following from tire Michigan farmer of last week way interest some of our rural reader's :— "The Department of Agriculture has sent out circulars making enquiries over a wide extent of territory regarding the "seventeen year locusts," which have made an appearance this year in eight States of the Union among them our own State of Michigan. Tlreobjeot of the department is to ascertain accurate% ly the limits of the areasoccupied by the insects. There aro twenty.two known broods of them, and they turn up in different years in various parts of the country. Though to some extent the infested territories overlap, each brood comes out of the ground only once in seventeen. years. Strictly speaking, the insects are not locusts, but cicadas. Some years ago it was sought to intro-, duce these insects as an article of diet; but the experiments in that direction did not promise success. Clearing off land has done much to diminish their number. Their most deertuctive foe is said so be the English Sparrow, which drops every other kind of food and feeds on them exclusively when it has the opportunity. Let us put down a credit mark to the sparrow for this, especially. as he does not get many." —David Lzndsborough, of Tuckers smith has gond to Goderich to put in his torm at the Model School. —Last Saturday week Wm. Bright, manager of Bruesela flax mill, hung his vest, in the pocket of which was an open faced gold watch, upon the fence East of the Methodist churoh lawn and immediately opposite tilasa mill. Somebody purloined the titi piece during noon hour, it is thought, end the missing 'watch has not been found since. Suspicion rested on cer- tain individuals and a search warrant was leaned. The parties were followed to Walton by Constable Scott and Mr. Bright but nothing was aecured in the search. The owner offers a reward, for the return of the watch and the arrest of the thief.
