I J. 6. RUSSELL, The Noted Jewellery Man ! KLKSIIERTON. REPAIRING! In nil i'/.v Brandies Satis- factorily attended to- THE ADVANCE. A. R- Faivcett. Editor. FLESHBRTON : THUHSDAY, A PHIL 16, 1885. Dft. LASDERKIN. The ri'pi-esentativc for South Grey is very assiduous in keeping hid sup- iwrtcrs jjosti'd rm:ii(lr(l tlic sayings and duings of bis prutega'i in the Do- laiuum 1'arliaineut. These men, how- ever extremists never fail iu com- mitting themselves ; their unti|mtliics a^iiinst the Ciuvi riiiinut cluster so thickly around their 8[>eeche8, that, to suy nothing of Tories, moderate Re- t'onnrrs become sickened and tlis- g ustcd. The pamphlet widely circulated by Dr. Liin.ii I'kin, contuining PattersoD's SJM I't-li on the Hndgct, discloses facts referred to. It is well known, that in regard to the Canada Pacific B. R., these gentlemen have been opposed to rapid construction. Build, ay they, as the country became settled ; let the emigrant penetrate the country then follow with the road ! And criticis- ing an article in the M'til and there- fore the Government upon the ne- cessity of the Government to see the rood pushed to a finish unless finan- cial iiiin overtake the original part- uern, and thu country stopped in it- onward progress. This Patterson the patriot asks in derision : "Who is responsible for the rapid "completion of tin- Road ? Who "urged it ? Who put it through in 'spite of the protest* of those who "iidvoasU'd the adoption of a wiser "course? lflhiunci.il ruin and tiie "disruption of Confederation are in- "volved in it. The Opposition have "declared their views ; they have do- "clarcd that the only safe policy with "reference to that work was to push "it over the prairie as fast as settle- "ment required it," Ac., ic. This is echoed by Dr. Landcrkin. Hrvw wrong they are is evidenced by the present crisis ; and tho useful- ness of the rood. Now there ia a grand national highway, and every our, from high to low, is iu loud ap- plause at a Government who, despite (iplK)sition at every step, opposition crcatud und fontcred by these gentle- men at homo and abroad IIBTC as- sisted this great work, and intend to assist it to its completion every volunteer to the front ; every man, woman and child in the North- West welcomes the road, and arc ready with imprecations upon the heads of thu self-styled chivalrous patriotx. who denounce the Government and the Syndicate for building the road SO last. The present utility of the road is a crushing answer to the five year's con- tinuous onslaught, and must cause a national pride, and be a source of inestimable pleasure to the Syndicate, the Government and its supporters. to find that they were correct in esti- mating its necessity and worth.

The cable news from England this week iudicate that war with Kus-ia is almost inevitable, and will probably prove to be the most terrible struggle that British armaments have had to engage in for half a century. With the history of the past before them, it is not to be wondered at that the British government would hesitate before precipitating the nation into a war with Russia especially on Af- ghan territory. Millions of British f.'old have been spent in attempts to establish a friendly yet stable dynasty on the throne of Afghanistan, and thousands of British soldiers have perished iu its mountain pusses and deh'les, the victims of Afghan treach- ery. While they are a brave and hardy people, they have no mote { friendship for British soldiers than for Russian, and, should they suffer serious reverses, would be very like ly to turn their arms on their Allies especially if Russia could offer equal inducements iu gold for their services. It is to be hoped that, if it is to he war, Britain may divert the battle fields from Afghanistan and thus make it possible tor the Afghans to defend their own territoiy. The last campaign in Afghanistan, under General, now Sir Frederick Roberts, left the most important of the mountain passes leading into In- dia in possession of the British, and they have remained so since ; and the forts commanding them have been and are still garrisoned by British troops, )x>ssibly Indians. THE REBELLION. Since our last week's issue came the horrible news of the Frog Lake massacre, which has raised public feeling to u high pitch of excitement. The latest particulars of the massacre are thus given in Tuesdays dailies: BATTLEI-ORD, April 13. Details of the recent terrible tragedy at Frog lake here to hand, but nothing is said of any further murders having been committed beyond those first report- ed. The Indians entered Gowan- lock's house and, without Having a word, deliberately shot him dead. Another Indian raised his rifle and aimed it at W. C. (iilchrint. Mrs. Gowanloek, rushing forward, pinioned his arms by clasping him around the body. He shook her off and tired, killing her instantly, and immediately afterwards killed Gilchrist. The fute of Mrs. Gowanlock is admitted on all hands to be preferable to that of Mis. Delancy, who is held a prisoner by the Indians. Quinn, the Indian agent, was married to u free Woman , who, it is presumed, was cognizant of the intended murder. Willisoroft was a plasterer, and last season he was engaged by tin Hudson Bay company on Lake Atha- basca. He has a brother residing in the county of Bruce, Ont. Nothing has yet been heard from Cameron, the manager for the Hudson Itav company. Up to the present no trace of the body of Payne, the murdered farm in- structor, has been discovered, but tin 1 floor of his house was found deluged with blood, and as the Indians assert that tli. \ killed him there is no char.ce that he escaped. Barney Freeman, whose correct name wits Bernard Frcmoine, was a Belgian aged BH, who has lived in the west since boyhood. He was found dead beside his wiigon, one hand clasping a wrench and the other a wheel of the wagon. Two bullet holes ran through his head and an arrow was found in his buast. He. './as n man of great physical strength, and the probability is that he never saw hi murderers. As stated in last week's ADVANCE, these Indians are a treacherous crowd. Of all the tribes in the North. West, none arc to be depended Upon. Noth- ing but a force superior to their own will keep them out of mischief. Just imagine a lot of unprotected women and children at the mercy of these devils incarnate ! It makes one shudder just to think about it. \Vo only hope the Indians and half-breeds may stand their ground when Gen. Middlcton and his troops arrive upon the scene with a few good Armstrong and galling guns and Capt. Todd's sharp-shooters ! Should snch an un- likely thing occur, this Dominion would mighty soon get rid of a parcel of bloodthirsty cut-throats and use- less citizens. Some have had the impudence to say the rebels are fighting in a just cause. Such persons ure as bad as the rebels themselves, for by making such statements, they endorse rapine and murder. No grievances such as the half-breeds and Indians com- plain of can possibly justify the sliedding of innocent blood ; and now that these misguided people have stamped their "Bill of Rights" in the blood of the innocent, we trust our Government will sec to it that -speedy vengeance falls upon the heads ol the offenders of law and order. BLAMING SIR JOHN. The following from the Woodstock Timrt is very timely just now when so many otherwise well-conducted journals arc allowing their politics to run away with their tommon sense : "Wn notice that some of the Grit journals are now assailing Sir John Macdonald for not being able to arrest Riel and bring him to justice for the part he lock in the Red River rebell- ion. If i-'ir John n'-glected to do so, then more blame is attached to the Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, who had Riid wit hin reach when 1 e walked into the parliament buildings at Ottawa in March 1874. Mr. Mackenzie was at that ti . e Premier and refused even to move a resolution to prevent Riel sitting as a member of the House, and when Riel was re-elected in 1875, Mr. Mackenzie went so far as to move a resolution granting a general parion to the rebels." KBKRMAN'8 WORM POWDERS d*tro T and remove worms without nijnry to adult or infauit The most of our readers will undoubtedly remember Miss Sarah Pilcher, who left tier home (Mr. Jas. Elliott's residence) abouit the 25th of January last, and although diligent search has been made for her uo trace whatever could be found up to yesterday, (Thursday) morning. It appears that two young men by the uame of Leslie, and O'Donucll were crossing Mr. Peter Leslies field, on their way to the bash to work ion con. 8, lot 60 E/remonti. They happened to sec what they thought to be some person lying in the snow and upon approaching nearer found it to he the b<,dy of the deceased, who ap- parently had been there about three months, news was at once sent to town, to friends and a conveyance scut for the corpse. Strange to saj, yesterday, when the body was found. tin re was a gang of twenty-rive UM-U out searching the woods and swasn|>it near town not thinking she had wandered so far away. Coroner Jones examined the body, finding no marks of violence consider- ed an inquest unnecessary. JUt. for- ttt Index. Scott act victories are old stor- ies now, but tins does not detract from thu importance of the act's adoption in so large and important a county as Wellington by an over- whelming majority- The change that has come, over public sentimcni con- cerning sumptuary legislation is em l>)iiisi/.<-d liv the fact that it is only a few years since Wellington rejected the Dunltin act by over two thousand majority. The result just achieved iu Wellington is expected to give an impetus to the tempcrauco campaign in the adjoining county of Waterloo, which has long been regarded as the brewer's stronghold, because the Ger- mans combine sobriety with the con- sumption of beer, and because the Lutherans and Roman ('.it holies of that nationality are as a rule opposed to sumptuary legislation upon princi- ple. The moral effect in Waterloo of the triumph in Wellington will be considerable, and it is quite possible that Ontario's little Germany may vote to close the breweries of her many thriving towns and villages. Should this come to pass it will be high time for Bacchus to draw his Caesarian robe around him and die, exclaiming : Thou, too, Brutus !" Toronto Jftiei. A MARVELOUS STORV TOLD U TWO LETTERS.
