West Huron.
Tae place in the ies of Commons which has long known Mr. M. C. Cam- eron will probably know him no more. He has been eaten in his own stronghold. fiis great mayority of close upor four bun- dred has been overcome, snd he is ‘‘out” of the seat in parliament which he has cc- eupied alraost continucusly ever since the Confederation was tormed.
This result of the polliag of yesterday is
the most significant that has been shown in the bye-elections which have followed upon the Opposition’s campaign of election petitions. Mr. Cameron was, admittedly, one of the strongest men in the Opposition party. By one of the most judicious mem- bers of that party he was a few years ago called “‘the best all-round man we have.” He was wel! acquain‘ed with the details of every important public question, and, as his sobriquet, ‘*Ananias,” suggests, he wat as unscrupulous as facile in the use of language. All the ‘‘human devices " known to the Grit politician, were his fam- jliar resort. He is wealthy and with him ** money was no object” in @ close contest. But he has, in spite of all his strength and ability and resource, been defeated. Th: man whom tho Opposition regarded as one of their best men, the man whim they would have delighted to hoaor had they gained ottice and power, has lost his seat ip Parliament as a result of the fatal unpat- rivtie policy of Farrer and Wiman, which they were in an evil hour, induced tv champion.
There cannot be the shadow of a doubi that the whole couatry is now awake to the tendencies of the policy of unrestricted reciprocity, alias commercial uaion, alias annexation. From the fact that West Hyron has rejected Mr. M. C. Cameron, we may argue that there is ne constituency in Canada which, at the present moment, may be counte:t ** safe for the Opposition.”
This great and notable victory for the Liberal Conservatives, is, of course, in some degree, due to the sensible and bus- iness-like methods of the Government, led by Mr. Abbott and Sir John Thompson. The party which dispensed with the ser-
vices of Sir Hector L sngevin as soon as it was demonstrated that frauds. had been committed in connection with the depart- ment for the honest admiasistration of which he was nunisterially responsible ; the party which dismissed and disgraced the boodlers and adopted measures for their punishment ; the party which is adminis- tering the affairs of the country energet- ically, economically and without a ser- jous hitch,—is the party by which the people mean to stick.

Study ef Botany.
Ir was pleasing to see so large an audience at the firat of the Mount Allison University course of lectures delivered by Mr. Francis Bain last evening, and it was specially pleasing to see so large a proportion of the teachers and students in schools. There will, of course, be some difficulty at the outset in msstering all the technical terms and the meanings attached to them. But wecan imagine no more delightful study than that of botany, nor any branch of natural science that can be studied in Prince Edward Island with greater ease, satisfaction and profit. For here we ,have plant life in great variety and perfection A person cannot valk abroad in this country without being confronted with the wonders and beauties shown in the infinite diversity of the vegetable kingdom ; and if his eyes have deen opened as a result of the study of botany, he cannot fail to see every day that he is out of doors, objects for contemplation and pleasure, though it is only to the poetic mind that~-
our
“The meanest flavor which blows can give Thoughts that do often lie to deep for tears,”
Mr. Bais has been an enthusiastic stud- ent of botany, though he is a stranger to academic halls ; and the example of the teacher may, in this case, be followed by each of his hearers aad pupils.

Technical Education.
R&FsRRING, in & speech at Chester, on Technical Education, to the fact that Ger- many, France, Switzerland, and other con- tinental countries, had applied a system of technical education to their commercial enterprises which had brought about con- siderable results, and that England had, in consequence, found herself outstripped as regarded the manufacture of goods intro- duced into foreign markets, Sir William Hart Dyke said that it was of the most vital importance that children in the rural schoois should be taught something of the elements of agricultural science, that the best way to meet foreign competition in the dairy markets was to produce better cheese, and evidently the way c accom- plish this was to instruct the young men in the principles of dairy farming, etc. This idea of making school education more practical and technical is rapidly spreading. It is, the Educational Journal admits, sound enough at bottom, but great care will be needed to keep the movement based on true educational principles. It must never
_ be allowed to degenerate into mere teach- iug of specific industrial processes, No dcubt the result aimed at will be best reached along true educational lines.
Another View
**An irish P. E. Islander” gives the Boston Pilot another view of the attitude of the Liberal-Conzervstive party the United States and of the manner in
which Roman Catholics are treated in Canada. One of the decriers cf Canada and its Government has been writing to; the Pilot, misrepresenting the political
situation here and striving create the impression that the Irish-Canadians are | not fairly treated. In rebuttal of this | latter falsehood ** an Irish P. ©. islander”
uses the argument ad hom inem with greit
a iowarai
to
effect and shows that Liberal Conserve- tism is not, a8 alleged, °° the enemy of the Irish race and creed.” His remarks upon the attitude
of Canada towards the United States are so much to the point that we have repru- duced his letcer. He is preeisely right in his contention that ‘‘while building up a prosperous Canada, the Conservative Gov- ernment have never been hostile to the United States, but, on the coutrary, have at all times been desirous of the freest and most friendly intercourse with them, 80- cially and commercially. Better trade re- lations than those which now obtain, they
aro desirous of securing, when the States are ready to treat them fairly; but being responsible ministers
they cannot sacrifica the national honor nor barter away national rights. They keep saying to you: *‘We'd like tu trade with you, but if we can’t trade with you, we'll trade without you.” We agree with “An Irish P. E. Islander” that this manliness ought to commend itself ‘o those who are ever vaunting the self-respect of the American nation and commending hon- ast action wherever found.

Summerside Election.
>
~
THe town council election of yesterday resulted in the return again of Richard Hunt, Esq., and the coancillurs of last year. There were only thirty-six votes be- tween Mr. Hunt ard Mr. J. A. Sharpe. The majorities of the councillors elected were cqually narrow. All the same, we way hope that the Summersiders will, now that the battle is ever, unite to promote the good of their town. The re- peated return of the chsirman, who in Summerside is invested with rea] authority in matters civic, is a rare honor and a mark of appreciation and confidence on the part of his fellow-citizons which eannot be disputed.
Bad Reads.
Comp.arnt is rife concerning the state of the roads. Little or uothing has been done towards making them paseable. The overseers act, apparently, on the same principle asthe Government. It isa case of like master, like man.

Marriage Bells. A pleasant event occurred at Mount Stewart yesterday, when Mr. James Feehan was united in marriage to Tilley, eldest daughter of David Egan, Esq , the leading merchant of that place. Miss Maggie Mc Eachern, of Charlottetown, acted as brides- maid, and Mr. Felix Fachan supported the groom in the evening a very large number of guests, mutual friends of the bride and groom, assembled at the house of the bride, where excellent arrangements were made for their enjoyment. The bride was the recipient of msny handsome and valuable presents. Tue EXaMINEeR joins heartily in extending to Mr and Mrs Feehan congratulations and a long and happy life.

Predictions.
Hon. Mr. Laurier in his speech in West Huron recently said :
‘This contest will show whether the people of West Huron were subservient to len interests than those of Uanada. He wen that when they gave thei votes next Tuesday they would do it for Caaada first, Canzda last and Canada all the time.” (Cheers ) And the people have answered in a most satisfactory manner, The Summerside Pioneer in its last issue remarks :
“Mr. MC. Cameron, of Huron, Ontario, who ison his way back to Goderich from Floride, ays he ‘an certain'y defeat Mr. J C, Patterso stthe coming election by at least 500 votes.’
The result shows that Cameron has been aptly named ‘*Ananias.”’

Gcepricu, Ort., Feb. 24.
Yesterday was another grees day for On- tario, and in fact for the wh le Dominion. West Huron has covered hers if with glory. Ananias Cameron is in th: soup. The Liberal-Conservative processi »n meves }-y- tnlly along. Everything tha: human in- genuity could devise, and al! the means known to the Grits, fair ead foul, were adopted to secure Hon. Mr. I attersou’s de- feat. The Mowatt Governm sat set loose its employees, who fairly awa med over the constituency But all in vun; tor the Secretary of State has cut do yn Cameron's majority of 379, and stands 2. to the good, as the elect of West Huroi The Grits claim that the maj rity is only 15; but this gives them bat little con olation. And so ‘‘the tottering Tory Gove nment” con- tinues to totter slong from ‘riamph uxt» triumph, sweeping everythi:g before it. The Conservatives are now moving upon London and East Simcoe.
A Narrow
OF A SUNDaY TRAIN. NO LIVES LOST.
Hautrax, Feb. 24
The English mail train whic: left here on Sunday morning last, had a very narrow escape from total destruction. Near Mill- stream, thirty miles from Campbellton, a snow slide had cume down trom the moun- tain and heaped up a mass of Jebris on the track. The train came boun ing along at fust speed and before the cbitructivn was noticed had run into it. Tle lusomotive was turned over and sent roll ng down the embankment into the river. F.rtuoately the passenger coaches did no follow, but plunged shead on the ties ebout twenty feet past where the locomotive had been stopped by the snow slide. '‘he eserxpe of the engineer and fireman s:ems almost miraculous. The fireman was thrown clear of the falling engine and th: driver was able, though badly bruised, tc creep from under his taachine.

Last Words ef a Great Preacher.
(From Spurgeon’s last Sermon. ) ‘*My time is enijed, although I had much mure to say. [can only p the Lord to give you grace to believe in Him. If I should never again have the pleasure of speaking for my Lord upon the face of the earth, I should like to deliver as my last confession of faith this testimony: That nothing but faith can s#ve in this nineteenth century ; nothing byt fairh can save Evgland ; nothing but taith can save the present unbelieving Churth ; nothing but firm faith in the grand old doctrine of grace and in the ever-living and uacharg- | ableGed can bring back to the Church again a full tide of prosp-rity,and make ber to be the deliverer of the nations for Christ ; nothing but faith in the Lord Jerus can save youorme. The Lwrd give you, my brothers, to believe tothe utmost degree, for His name’s sake ! Amen.”
