The Grit newspapers are seeking to complicate 1 he case of the Governor- General by dtaggiug in all manner of irrelevant thinks. 1Ve ate told that the tit eunistantes are without. prece- dent; that the bate parliament had held six Sessions waren lin unlet' 1)101 itltlt•111. had held more than five; that the late parliament expired by reaching the cou- st.itutiunal time Bruit ; and that there- fore Sir Charles 'Tupper was in a peculiar position and not competent to tulyise the Governor-General. But thesethings have nothing whatever to do with the case. Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues made 453 recom- mendations, and sent, theca to theGov- eruer-Geueral for his approval. Either Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues were legally qualified in every respect to make these recommendations, or they were not. If they were notprop- erly qualified• -if there was the slightest doubt of their status -it was the duty .of the Governor-General so to state, and it was his duty to refuse to en- dorse any of the recomurendations,giv- int; as a reason for refusing a state- ment that under the "peculiar citc'uo)- stances" of the case he had doubts in respect of the status of the ministers. Or he could have gone further and could have made claim that, owing to the "peculiar circumstances" of the case the ministers were not qualified to uiakerecommendations for the appoint- ment of persons to fill vacancies. But the Governor-General did not do that. On the contrary, he accepted the ad- vice of the ministers in no less than 436 cases, thus acknowledging. 436 tunes, that the ministers who made the recommendation were perfectly qualified under the law ; he acknowl- edged 436 times that Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues had a perfect right to advise the Glovernor-General. That disposes effectually of the "peculiar circumstances" of the case; that dis- poses effectually of the "no precedent" argument; that, shows that the Gover- nor-General gave no heed to the sixth session nor to the expiry of parliament by the gf fluxion of tirne ; but itecepted Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues as the properly constituted advisers of the Governor-General. The Toronto Globe has called Todd to its aid in endeaaoring to complicate the case, and tells us, (the words are the Globe's, not Todd's) that ;'it is a reflection upon the crown itself to cast aspersions upon Lord Aberdeen for any action which he may have taken as Governor-General," ,because the Gov- ernor-General "has found advisers pre- pared to take full responsibility for his acts," these acts being of course his refusal to confirm the appointment of certain men to the senate and the bench. That doctrine complicates the case beautifully. Here we have a Governor-General with two recommen- dations before him,made by Sir Charles Tupper. He approves of one and Sir Charles Tupper takes the responsibility; he disapproves of the other and, behold, Hon. Wilfred Laurier takes the responsibility! Or perhaps it may be that the Globe's.intention is to so in- terpret Todd as to make it appear that Sir Charles Tupper was not in a posi- tion to be responsible for anything. In that event, Mr. Laurier, of course., becomes responsible for the Governor's action not only in refusing to endorse the 17 rejected appointments;' but i9 also responsible for the government's action in endorsing the 436 •appeint- mentsl Until this wonderful doctrine is made quite clear we shall take the liberty to "cast aspersion" upon Lord Aberdeen for his partisanship, believing at the same time that we are not re- flecting upon the crown itself. But about those 17 rejected' recom- mendations. The Governor-General did not seek to excuse his action in respect of these because of any "pecu- liar circumstances" attending the case. He had accepted 436 recommendations from the same source,thusestablishing beyond the reach of cavil the fact of the legality of that source. He made no objection whatever to the 17 recom- mendations on the ground of any irregularity whatever. He simply declined to endorse the appointments of these men because they were Tories, and he so distinctly stated. And there is where Lord Aberdeen put his foot in it. A clever man would have made pretense that there was something wrong with the status of the ministers making the recommendation, or would have alleged some "constitutional" rea- son for declining to take the advice of his ministers; but this partisan blun- derer blurts out the real reason for his partisan action, and all the quib- bles and quirks and misapplications Todd and his clever newspaper friends can resort to cannot rescue hien from the hole into which, in hie blind parti- sanship, he has so stupidly plunged himself. Lord Aberdeen has himself given the reasons for his refusal to en- dorse 17 recommendations made by his legally constituted advisers. These reasons are before the people in black and white, and on those reas- ons the action of theGovernor-General must stand or fall. No attention whatever can he paid to the reasons invented by the Grit newspapers, weeks after the real reasons had been stated over his own signature by the partisan Governor-General who has prostituted his high office to give tem- porary benefit to a political party, Gorrie.

The fad for collecting posters may be only a passing whim, but it is certainly a very active craze just now and advertisers seem vieing with each other to see who can get out the most artistic. and yet striking productions to call at- tention to their wares. And there is unquestionably a great deal of art dis- played in many of the sheets which en- liven the bill boards nowadays Making it easy to understand that a good col- lection would have much interest to the owner. A really good poster, to he a success either in the eyes of the ad- vertiser or the collector, must have in- dividuality enough to attract the at- tention of every passer by, the colors must be pleasingly harmonious and the poses graceful, and (tho' this mat- ters not to the collector) there must be some appropriateness and connection with the goods or eyelets advertised. Among the hest sheets pasted up re- cently is the "Fibre Chamois Girls," it is unique and attractive with its light, blending colors and graceful figures, catching the eye at once and holding it by its artistic claim, If what we hear is true about its being followed shortly by another equally fine design prepared ire New York for the Fibre Chamois Co., the "poster fiends" may well rejoice at adding two such splen- did sheets to his collection. An Appeal to the Pope. Toronto News. The latest development of the Mani- toba school question is said to be the despatch of an emissary by the Federal Government to His Holiness the Pope to secure the latter•'s approval to the basis of settlement agreed upon by Messrs. Sifton and Laurier. This move has been taken for the purpose of al- laying the tempest that is rising among the French Liberals oyer the non -fulfillment of the pledges given to theme by the Rouge candidates before the election. It is well-known at Ot- tawa that for some weeks Mr. Laurier has had a number of influential per- sons going through the parishes of Quebec endeavoring to placate the Frenchmen and obtain the aid of the clergy to calm the agitation which they see is inevitable if the bargain made with Mr. Sifton is carried out. The shrewd argumentative gentlemen who have been entrusted with the task of "fixing" Quebec approached their work doubly armed. First, the concil- iatory method was tried, and in cases where that failed the threat was made that if the priests resisted the proposed settlement, and cause trouble for the Liberal Government, then au agitation would he started against the Roman Catholic schools in Quebec, on the ground of inefficiency, and important changes made which would destroy much of the influence of the clergy in educational matters. It appears, from the adoption of the latest plan—that of consulting the Pope —that the effort to satisfy the church in Quebec has failed, and, fearing to put into effect the threat trade in their behalf, the Liberal leaders have deter- mined to enlist on their side an author- ity that must be respected by all classes of Catholics. This is a very different mode of handling the question from that prom- ised during the campaign, and it is one that will not commend itself to the average Canadian. That it is necessary to appeal to the Pope to settle a purely domestic matter of this kind is a queer commentary on the boasted indepen- dence of the, Liberal Premier. Huliett. FAMILY REUNION. -On the. Base Line last Tuesday, at the residence of Mr. Robert Miller, there was a very happy family reunion. James Clint Mts. Miller's father, celebrated his 90th birthday. Among those of his family present were Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Cluff, Goderich; Mrs. Wer. Onuley, Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Depew, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Ilenry Kerr. Wingham; Mr. and Mrs. Noble (duff. Seaforth; through family illness Mrs. Thos. Beacom of Clinton could not he present, and Mr. Thompson (duff of Toronto was also absent. James Cluff, in whose honor the gathering was held, is one of the worthy Huron pioneers whose name will live for generations. He came to this country from the county Ferrnana.gh, Ireland, near Enniskillen, in 1833, and took up arms in defence of his cruntry during the McKenzie rebellion. He first settled in Mc- Killop and biter on the Maitland. Although now well on to the century ,nark Mr. ('tuff retains all his facilities and can recount, many an interesting event of bygone days. The day was spent, in genies and mirth, n. game of quoits being greatly enjoyed. May Mr. (Tuff be long spared to celebrate many recurring anniversaries is the wish of his numerous friends.

This week we have to chronicle the demise of James Perdue, who resided at lot 39, con. 11, East Wawanosh, which sad event occurred on Tuesday, September 1, at the age of 63 years, 10 months and five days. De- ceased some time ago suffered a para- letic stroke and since then he has been confined to the house. He was a man known to almost everybody in this locality, and by all he was most highly respected for his sterling integrity and honesty of purpose. A widow and grown-up family of sons and daughters are left to mourn bis loss, among them Dr. Perdue, V. S., Blyth. MRS. ELLIOTT Deen.—On the 27th of last March Wm. Elliott, of the 12th concession, died at the advanced age of 81, and on Thursday, August 27, exactly five months after, Mrs. Elliott followed her husband at the ripe age of 69 years. Mrs. Elliott's maiden name was Alice Thompson, and she was born in the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1827. She was married to Wm. El- liott at Cookeville, near Toronto, in 18.54. and removed to East Wawanosh in 1856,where her husband had preceded her and made a home in the then bush country. Deceased has lived here ever since and her loss will be mourned by her many friends. The funeral took place for the residence of her son, Jas. Elliott, con. 12, to Deacon's cemetery. MARRIED. -A very pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. Lindsay, Wingham, on Wednesday, when her daughter, Miss Lorne, was united in marriage to Robert S.

Miss Millie Lindsay, whoa( tended the bride, were a beautiful cream and lace. The groom was supFported by his brother, Mr. Bert. J. Reid. Itev. Dr. Clifford, assisted by Rev/ E. A.

The debate on the address went through in good time, and there has not been the slightestin- dication of any intention, on the part of the members of the opposition, to obstruct business or unduly prolong the session. Nevertheless the Grit party and Grit papers have a regularly organized scheme to make the country believe that the Tories intend to pro- long the session beyond 30 days in order to secure the full indemnity for a session. The fact is that the Grit mem- bers themselves are anxious to get their full indemnity, and are en- deavoring to make it appear that the movement Comes from the Tory side of the house,. In the recent Grit caucus appeared Senator Mowat. The cu41n- ing little chap, being in receipt of a good round salary as minister of just. ice, it would make little difference to him whether or not, he received his full sessional indemnity. But he wanted to make a " good impression on the country" at the expense of the pockets of the -rank and file commoners. They received the little chap's suggestion with marked pldness, and when Dr. Landerkin ,put their feelings into words condemning Sir. Oliver's econo- mical propensities, they cheered loudly. "Ecomomy" was alt very well during the campaign; but now that the econ- omists are in a position to reach into the`treasury and help themselves they don't propose to sacrifice their own pocketbooks for the sake of making "a good impression on the country."
