The vote was 315 to 100. e * —The Synod of Huron expressed its conviction that the license laws of the province are better enforced than was the case a few years ago. The hotel - keepers are now "keeping hotel." —Last year the fifteen Portland cement plants of Canada turned out 2,151,562 barrels. Still it was neces- sary to import 604,503 barrels.

IRELAND, Superintendent of Branches Paid-up Capital, $15,000,000 Rest, - - , Total Assets, - 113,000,000 Branches throughout Canada, and in the United States and England the Laurier Cabinet, was ejected from A fashionable hotel with two women. The editor was committed for trial, pleaded justification, stated that the charge was true, and had witnesses ready. Strange to say, Mr. Fawner - son's counsel pleaded for delay, and when the judge ruled for the case to proceed, the plaintiff's lawyers refused to go any farther with the case at present. The result is that the case goes over until January, and will pro- bably not be heard of again in Court. The Toronto World is authority for the statement that Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier sent word ---"Stop that case." Whether that be true or not, Mr. Emmerson's lawyers found an excuse for stopping very short, possibly never to go on again. The Ottawa Free Press (Liberal) regards the ease as dangerous to the Liberal party, and bluntly says that the "unfortun- ate effect will be that instead of the issue being tested and settled it will continue to stink in the nostrils of the body politic for at least three months or more. And it is one of those things which should be buried as soon as possible, no matter whether the scan- dal carries with it Henry R. Ernnrer- son or J. H. Crockett." —The Daily Mail's Tokio correspon- dent says that apparently Japan and the United States have agreed that the existing treaty should be replaced by a new treaty in 1000 when, the correspondent says, Japan will fight hard to place her subjects on an equal footing with Europeans.

The county of Halton proposes mak- ing an appropriation of $15,000 for that purpose, and the county of Perth has adopted a plan for the improve- ment of 210 miles of road under the government good roads plan to cost $226,000. —There is a move on foot which may result in a sweeping local option campaign in North Wellington dis- trict Royal Templars of Temperance, including in its scope the towns of Mt.

A. 1cLEAN ** —The Whitney* Government has scored well in its game against Mono- poly interests. Up to date it has broken these monopolies :—lsb--The Electrical Ring. 2nd—The School Book Combine. It has also served notice on the pulpwood interests that no back -door agreements will be en- tertained. In addition, it has "na- tionalized" a large section of the pub- lic domain, in the wealthiest mineral belt known to man, to the end that the people as a whole shall benefit by the development thereof. It is truly a People's Government and a Mono- poly Breaker. WEST HURON CONSERVATIVES. '(owner , ale. R nestle, 0th con., is erecting a new wire fence on the front of his farm. The bricklayers have commenced work on Mr, lt, Harris' house on the 13 line, Lightning on Sunday evening struck the barn of (leo. Bowes, llowick, and set it on fire. The fire was noticed at once by Jno. Porterfield, who gave the alarm, and neighbors gathered and put out the blaze, which was on the roof. On Thursday last, an enthusiastic convention of West Huron politicians was held in Dungannon, representing the Conservatives of West Huron, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the House of Commons. There are over forty polling divisions in the riding, and nearly all were fully re- presented, the delegates coming from Goderich, Clinton and Wingham towns, also Colborne, Ashfield, Nest Wawanosh, Hullet and Goderich townships. The president suggested that the convention pass a resolution pledging the delegates to support the candidate to be selected to -day, and this was heartily done on motion of Wm. Campbell and Reeve Elliott, of Gode- rich. —Passenger rates on all railways in the United States were reduced on July 1st to two cents per mile. With that rate general in the States, and that too on some roads that earn less per mile than Canadian railways, the drop to two cents per mile in Canada, should not be long delayed. The de- cision referred. to was not a formal agreement, but two roads doing trans- continental business served an ulti- matum to the others that they would put the rate into effect immediately. Following the meeting, the officials of several road's said that no further fight would be made on the two -Cent laws already passed. During the severe storm recently, the residence of Mr. Dane, 10th con., was struck by liglrtuitig, but not much damage was done, only the chimney being cracked. A large tree Mt the batik of the river was badly slivered also by a bolt, the telephone wires were cut, and a couple of elec- tric light transformers were burned out. Thos. Inglis had his barn -raising last week, but two of the young hien, Albert Askins and Walter Renwick were injured. It was nearly dark, and they were standing on the wall plate pulling up rafters. There were some long and some short ones, and they had hold of one which they thought was a long one. When they "broke" it turned out to be a short one and failed to reach the 'airline, when down it came and with it came the two men. Walter held on to the rafter and that helped to break the fall, but Albert came smash down 22 feet and lit on iris back. He is badly bruised, but not seriously hurt. Dr. Chisholm, M. P„ Wingham, made a capital speech, and was practi- cal, timely and pointed, and received a splendid hearing. The following persons were nomin- ated to represent West West Huron at Ottawa :—E. N. Lewis, Goderich ; Robt. McLean, Goderich ; David Can- telon, Clinton ; M. Lockhart, Auburn ; John Cox, Porter's Hill. Mr. Lewis was the first speaker and he gave a concise account of his stew- ardship and thanked his friends for naming him the second time as a can- didate. He claimed to be a good win- ner before and had confidence that he could win again. He was proud to see the three Hurons standing back to back and be appealed to the electors for the Conservative vote and he would look after the majority. Short addresses were also made by the several candidates, also H. B. Spotton, Wingbam; Dudley Holmes, Wingham; J. S. Carstairs, and others, and as all the candidates withdrew, Mr. Lewis' nomination was made un- animous with much enthusiasm. The meeting closed with cheers for the King, the Conservative leader and the candidate. —Regarding the recent trouble in India, "Bystander," writes as fol- lows :—"The trouble in India seems to have been mainly local and to have passed away, as it was pretty sure to do. The ebullitions of the native press are largely declamatory, as Ori- ental expression is apt to be ; at all events they have no force behind them, for native insurrection has been thoroughly disarmed. But the great and invincible insurgent against the alien rule, Natiire, is still, forbid- ding the rearing of English children in Hindostan, and thereby the per- manent occupation of the country by the English race. Military occupa- tion may be carried on long, but it can hardly be carried on forever. When it ceases, what will be the condition of India? Apparently there will be 300,- 000,000 of people with no one to govern them, and incapable of govern- ing themselves. The efforts of the ruling power to associate the subject race hi the administration, though strenuous and sincere, do not seem to have produced anything like political unity ; while the social gulf is said to be as wide as ever. "It is a terrible business, this living among inferior races," said the good. Lord Elgin, speaking of ,the state of things in Indio, In spite of the best intentions on the part of the Blritieh Govern- ment, and not a little good actually done, Lord Elgtn's words are true."

Mrs. Norman McAullay died in Walkerton on Wednesday of last week at the age of one hundred. Her husband, a pioneer of Greenock, died 20 years ago. Mr. R. J. Hiscox arrived home Mon- day night from a six weeks' trip in Britain and Ireland where he combin- ed business with pleasure. On his re- turn, he was presented by the Sunday School with a sectional bookcase and writing desk. The annual camp meeting of the German Evangelical church was held at Deemerton during the past week and the Sunday services were attend- ed by the usual big crowd. Until this year the meetings were held in the the open air, but now a large taber- nacle, capable' of accommodating the monster crowd, is in use. By the death, on the 20th inst., of Mrs. Peter Grant, sr„ of the 10th con., Culross, lost another of its few re- maining pioneers. Deceased was found dead in her bed on Thursday morning, having evidently passed away while asleep. Mrs. Grant was esteemed as a sympathetic and kind hearted woman, qualities that were duly appreciated in the days of the early settlers when comforts were few. - .The trial of Editor Crockett of the Frederictoti Gleaner has attracted considerable interest.
