ft Ee RG awa Sn aoe PP ee OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE GONTY OF HATON. FRIDAY, - - oS Se SRST E RE , =" snr JULY 18, 1879. ES Tue “scalawag” borrowed $4 from a. rey. gentleman at Orangeville,—not paid yet, while the former pretended to be on his way to Owen Sound to buy another printing offic e. Awent the George's square scandal;— how much ‘the “town barber, Mrs. D., or an ¢x-Reeve,” or even the present: Reeve; have to do with it, is im all “likelihood more of an outside issue, than the “scal- awag’s” escapades at Guelph or Toronto, or even his baby-farming at Oakville. To give such 4 fellow the safe-keeping of any woman’s virtte, or even the con munity’s well-being, would be a huge joke. Yea, verily ! cock Tau “scalawag” went to the town treasurer's office a few) weeks ago, for the purpose of obtaitiing the figures‘on the consumption of coal at the public ‘school building from 1875 up to the past year, and published. them in the shape of a communication to himself under the sig- nature of ““D. Y.” if Mr. Wm. Robert- son has any money to throw away on such a “dirty yelp,” in having this kind of work thrust uponethis community,— we shall quite soon find that ‘fa man is} kniewn by the company he keeps.” Our readers will now see the moral. _Aw otherwise respectable man, a mem- ~~ ber of the town. council, as well as of the —+. Church,—ordered his paper stopped on Friday last, becanse of the earnest missionary work undertaken by TERE Express, and with which he has no pa- tience, has forgotten that several months ago he was gttitty of lawkmg about the streets of this town a deliberate false- hood, charging a fellow church member with drunkenness, and which he has not yet retracted. This gentlemati isa little too. over-zealous a partizan, to make a good, peaceable church member, and hence makes but. very little use of brotherly love and charity ‘in his’ every- day life. Toe “high-toned town. official” re- ferred to-a fortnight ago.in the Georges square matter, must have had the read- ing, of “Falstaff” im- his life-time, and henceris playing with “discretion,’—at feast several councilmen and an wnder- ling amongst them, have been told they were meant ; and hence the “scalawag” hasbeen set at work to straighten up the thing: Now this.is something of @ per- sonal impersonality,—we know whereof we have spoken, and the guilty party has shown more-cunning than judgment, in | his “view hallow”, and if he believes} that the matter can be trifled: with len¢er, we are just abominabl Yomiste in the character and reputation, of thes young. lady and her friends, if theyswill That's just “all much nab see k_ proper redress. there is to this matter. . In 1878, it appears from the Accounts of the County of Halton, that $243.05 was paid out for printing and advertising. Out of this amount the Champion office: got $169.30,- only $31.50 was paid to the Express office: $9 to the Toronto G bbe ; $8 to the Mud; and $1924 to the Hamilton Times—the Champion got all but $73.75 ; and now these intberbly jealous beggars are cross because com- paraiivdy little ‘Sted ing’ has been: se- eured to them for 1879. Tue Express expects to publish the court notices, and other county advertising, according to accepted tender, for the current year, (Gf. the proper officers shall see fit te forward them,) and has nothing to do with pub- lishing the “convictions,” the Champion notice of last week to the contrary not-, withstanding,-—if it is published in -ano- ther “corner of ‘Trafalgar.’ The Cham- pion will please take this intimation that. THe Express will in future assume the privilege of making its own defence, ‘as against the Cilampion and its scoundrelly confrere of this town. to which it has ow en a free ear long enongh—and_ that peo- ple who “live in glass “houses shouldn't throw stones.” — SSS — i _ Tur Detroit Free Press points out how insignificant is the silence on the part of American protectionists concernmg. the workings of the new. protective tariff which Canada adopted som.e weeks since.. Jn theory that tariff'was to be the speedy salvation of Canada. \ Her manufactories were to revive and flourish, her trade to. increase, her debt to be diminished, and an era of prosperity entered on the like of which was never before witnessed m- the history of nations. Moreover, the beauties of the protective system were to be. exhibited and its soundness ed b- lished to the satisfaction of the most earnest yotaries of free trade. We had expected, therefore, to hear’, ere this, from the protectionist organs h at.this bright dream was realized; but im.place thereof there is melancholy silence, Can it be possible that they recognize already, that the: experkment is ‘a wretched -fail- ure, and that im being such it has. help- lessly rippled) the -péctection theory, with its admirable desigm of making the rich richer withont making the poor any peorer—if it can be avoided f Et~would seem ‘as.if this were the case. Certainty,, whether the protectionists recognize i or not, the Canada experiment has proven a disastrous. and costly, failure, and has done more to expose the falla- cies. and sophisms. of protection than eould have been effected by cords of The Oakville Gxpress. | eld ery, “No surrender. *” ‘| soul. The Twelfth at Milton. On Saturday a large «gathering of Orangemen were convened to celebrate the 188th anniversary of their order. The town of Oakville was represented by L. O. L., No. 272, headed by the 20th Battalion Band. At Milton; was formed a large procession of lodges from Haimil-| ton, Streetsville,etc., who wended their ‘way to the grove, where the following particulars, which we glean from the Hamilton Times, of the 14th, may be noted, and which we publish in this issue by request: : 5 he chair-was occupied by the County Mas- ter of Halton, Bro. David Lindsay, and on the platform were Bros. Major Jas. Bennett, D. G.M. Western Ontario; Rev. T..Roump, St. Catharines, Deputy Grand Chaplain; Dr. Mul= lin, Brampton, County Master of Peel; Rev. J, G. Maccarthur. Milton! Wot; Walls, Coun- ty Secretary of Wentworth; W. Hewitt, Orange Sentinels J. &. Lindsay, Director-of Ceremonies | \for the County of Halton, and others. The Chairman (County Master Lindsay) re-~ ferred to the day as being all that could be } desired for the demonstration, and took oc-) casion to thank those brethren from the ad-. jacent counties for their kindness in assisting) the bretbren of the County of Halton in the manner they had done, and hoped the County of Halton would at no distant date reciprocate the honor done them to-day. .This was a great day for the County of Halton, and would long perform in the introduction of the first speaker, ito see so many ladies present, as it went to “prove, jto his, mind, that loyalty does not be- a |Jong exclusively to = thes imate. portion of athes community. He believed there were as many as 300,000 Crangemen ceiebrating the day im ‘Canada. ‘Although it was now nearly ‘two, hundred years since the Battle of the Boyne was fought Crangemen were still hving and the Urange Society was increasing ten-fold. He believed -the brethren in Montréal had not re- céived fair piay, ani said if the brethren there’ were unable to secure their rights Montreat would be deluged with Orangemen, and those | | Popish tyrants driven over the mountain. He asked them to beconie more umted. and show that they were desirous of living at peace with all classes, colors and oreeds, also to cultivate more and more that love towards their Roman: Catholic feliow citizens, and though they warred against their religion they were not” their. enemies, but friends. They shoula: fear God, honor the Queen, honor all men, ever held fast that which is good, ever hold in respeet that glorious Protestant libertyy handed down to us by that victory on the eyer memorable jbanks: ef the Boyne. ¢Cheers,) The Chairman said ons thing had escaped his. memory, ‘aod that was in reference to Rev. Bro. Parkhii, Grand Master of Western On-— tario, who had been announced on the pro- gramme. The only reason he could give for that brother’s absen¢ée was that that was the first time the brethren of Simcoe had an as- serblage there, and that being bis own vounty he weuld be most likely there. He introduced tae orator of the day, Rev. Bro. J.G. Mace.arthur, who, on coming forward. was grezted with luud applause, and, after the applause had subsided, said that it afforded him great pleaeure to be in their midst to-day, and congratulated Orangemen and” their'friends en the rights and privileges tacy- were to-diy enjeying. The reverend speaker then referred to the crossing of tne Boyne, and | the liberty they now enjoyed to worship God as, their fore-fathers did. He aiso fervently drew | the attention of his hearerg to the state of the Christian Church before the German Reforma—. tion, giviug a detailed historital reminiscence AL yof events down to the period of James IT. and sen| William ELD y Prince of Orwnge The speaker: hen referred to the “Dutch — i first PoUndatren of Orangeisin in Kngiand.There swas-not & plade of vefuge to bodfdund, except!

Tf asked, «Whore was | your Protestant Church betore Luther,” said the speaker,“you can answer it was where the’ face was before it was washed from the dirt.” He then concluded as follows: Brethren, our time, is brief; humanly speaking our time, is short. [ask you by way of conclusion to fear your God and honor-your Queen.

If you came. % listen to me I would get little credit for a ser- mon tinless it was the religion of Christ That religion is not in the heart or hands of one bishop or pope. I say it’ is in the Word of God, Let it-bo the rule of your life and conver— sation. Before the German Reformation the Church was like the sun behind a cloud, which has not lost its brightness, but it is said. to lose its brightness when excluded from the world. As soon as’ that cloud has gone you will-‘see || the light. ‘When the cloud of Popery was blown away you saW the light -of the gospel. You may tell’me the dark Ages have passed away long ago. Where Popery.is there is the dark ages. Brethren, never surrender to any man your interest, your eternal salvation. Aliow no man to come between God acd your believe for,dnotherman. You know not when | the hour of your departure comes. Prepare for the invislble world, to Which we are al “hasteniny with the speed of tine. Remeber your, duty on6.to/another. “Behold how pleas- ‘ant it is for brethren to dweil together in unity. We are not united enough. We have -amongst us Reformers, Conservatives and In- dependents, if you will have it, and perhaps a host of other divisions. What was the starting of Orangeism? Disunion. I think the time will come when both names will fail to the groud and we will take the name of Protes- tants. As myfriend Dr. Mullin tells: you, I need not state. tho number of Orangemen in Canada’, I would not wish any man to think it was to’mjure a Roman Cathdic. Godforbid, It is to keap away deceit, and I would wish as a clergym2n of the Church of England that we we were more united. It is lamentable. but a ‘fact, that one man will address himself to a Presbyterian Or Methodist and ysay, “I om ‘hoher than thou art.’” > AccorDiInG to the terms cf the consti+ tution of a political club formed at, Man- itowaning lately, its object shall be to unite under ene body members of — dif- ferent political parties to advange the bést interests of the District irrespective of party; to secure the reurn of home “members; to discuss, at its reoular meet- ings, improvements needed in election laws relative to Algoma; to see that all. voters’ lists are properly and legally made out; the enrolment of new meinbers,. the support of sister clubs, and other mat- ters connected with thix Assoc.hion, andl! bre altses, j Algoma politics generally. | Blake has of late shown himself, The be remembered.
