" THE PARLIAMENTARY CANCER " ER_a Itr-age MAL had sv to take exbepfitieto members in Parliament and in the Legislature appointing themselves to office. and otherwise making merchandise of their position„ to the detriment. of public morals. The late Tory Government at Ottawa was a particular sinner in this regard, and there are cases on record where membra paid off their election debts by selling offices to the highest bidder. In the days of old fashioned Tory rule the matter of"pat- renege was the foundation upon which the fealty of the member to the party rested, and the fullness and fatnesrof all offices iii the omistitoeucy was his portion', so long ea he supported his leaders through thick and thin, in sea - soli and out of season. As a resin we . had the formation of a thieves t use of enlarging 'upon. the subject. se that, beginning Ministers, permeated the entire polisi- callloacbine to the meanest and sael- iest of ita membership, and public offices became commodities of barter and sale, and public honor was sacri- ficed to lust for power to a greater ex- tent than was ever known in th history of this oountry. • • * eras hoped that this would be changed ooh the a be would like to be eased of the burden by placing the care of the weak vessel upon the public. The member at once pots himself in ocnnead n with a few toadies who are willing to sneeze every time he takes snuff, and they burl income to him by visiting his plans of business every day ; and atter a time he actually imagines t iu t he is listening to public opinion. They dlltsl•r ..bIfl__ nay by telling him of what great things he has done for the party, and how deeply the constituency is under obligation to him for the many sacrifices he has made m stand- ing for election, entirely forgetting that the man was always well paid in in- demnity, mileage and other pickings for whatever he did, and if be had not been the candidate some other man, fully as well equipped for the work, would gladly have undertaken it • • i There are members of Parliament, It is true, who, at all times and on all ocessions have been willing to spend and be spent in the interests of the party, and we have had some of them in Huron ---notably JOHN MCMILL N and DR. MACDONALD—who have gone at the call of the party, or of their own volition, to help weak brethren in other constituencies, times without number; but we know of others, and so do our readers, who at all times and under all circumstance., cared nothing for the party unless they were directly Interested in their local contest We ve known such men to stand with lded arms, or avail themselves of a dotter's certificate, and refuse to turn a Iitemi -te-help a weaker -brother- .. time of need ; and- we have known these men afterwards to prate of the sacrifices they had made for the party. Sacrifice means helping others, not helping yourself_ We have adeo known men to teil the leaders of the psrty at $ time of need that they would desert, and who definitely refused to be candidates until they were indem- nified by having their election expenses shpuldered by the individual members dale convention, and the promise made to them of a solatium in the event of defeat.. And we have seen these men rise on the platform and sing the praises of loyalty to the party and the duty of self-sacrifice on all oc- casions. • • "-. • • We have known—but what's the air Stiuk to your knitting, and see that nostitclit, •hp. gil The true man in politics shook!

Government to office, and we are pleased to know that, to a great ex- tent, it i , but unfortunately there exist in the Reform party, as there exist in all parties, a nutnber of poli- ticians for revenue purposes, who can- not believe that a Government may he conducted on honest principles, and wlio are of opinion that the same reckless and roguish style of doing business should be continued at Otte - w t that existeJ during the reign of the predecessors of the present Gov- ernment. To this clan beloogs the politioian who believeh that the public offices in his constituency are his per- sonal perquisites. Fortunately, heii not numerous in the Liberal ranks, but h5 is in evidence just the same, and it is the duty of the Government be at once step in and say that they - will not tolerate Tnpperian methods or the actions of NED COCHRANE in any of their supporters. • • 4 The offices in a constituency- belong to the party and not to the member. If the member were asked to affirm to that axiom when standing for re- election he would unhesitatingly make the affirmation. 13u1 so soon u elec- tion day is over and the time for protest has elapsed, it too often happens that the member begins to 16ok around, like .1AVM I IArv, ex M. P., tt: see, " What is in It for the boy Y' An office of emolument becomes vacant, or, as is sometimes done, a vacancy is created by the sitting mem- ber, ostensibly in the interest of the party.

As a rule he falls far short of the anticipations of his ton- stitnents. When he is seeking elec- tion he pulls wires and strives in every way to get the nomination, and, even when he professes a desire to be freed rom tTie aictles of office, they who are on the inside know that he would be sadly set back if he were taken at his word. The position member of parliament is an honorable one, and should be held by honorable men, whose public record should be without spot and without blemish. And when we bear men say that they are under no obligation to the people who elect them, and are merely in parliament to further their own ends and to feather the nest for themselves or their more needy relatives, we have no hesitation in denouncing such men as unfit for the exalted positions they hold. We did thee during the reign of the TuppzRs, the HAOGARTS, the CARONs, and the Laxosvt!ss—and we shall not hesitate to assail similar raaoality, even more strongly, if we find it among those who formerly de- nounced it..

SNAP SNOTS. —Oar thanks are due to our old friend, S. B. Rostvtee, Esq., of Fare - has, (Eng.), for the jubilee issue of The Hampshire 'Telegraph, which makes a specialty of the great naval review. —What is wanted in Goderich now is a score or two of neat cottages suit- able foripersons of moderate means. The construction of a number of such residences would pay better then shares in many et the Roseland mines that are now en the market should such a contingency arse, aa it will not be difficult to obtain a sue- oessor. Already there are a number of RicHroxne ready co take the field. West Huron isn't a one man's con- stituency, by a long chalk. —We cannot understand upon what ground the town coanoil refuses to make an appropriation towards a plank walk across the sands to the beach A large amount of money has been expended in erecting a batinng house, and wby a two -penny, ha' -penny matter like a plank walk should be allowed to stand in the way of the magnificent beach being made effec- tive, is something we don't under- stand. This is the season of the year when Goderioh should get all it can out of its grand battling feature, and this cannot be done until the pl ink walk is built across the Sahara to the beach. —The Hon. CHARLIE MACINTOSH still holds down the Lieut -Governor's position in the Northwest Territories, but we learn that one of these days he will be succeeded by Mr. Strrox, a well-known old-time Northwest leglik- lator, and father of the present Minis- ter of the Interior. We are pleased to see that the Governtnegt-is inclined to give Western positions to Western men. The placing of men like PAT- TERSON and MACINTOSH, from Ontario, in the gubernatorial chairs of Mani- toba and the:Northweit was not flat- tering to the abler and better states- men of these Provinces, and it is to be hoped the Liberal Government will -stand ily !? mF 1WT in future' appointments. —Uur esteemed contemporary The Toronto Telegram, devotee a column of running comment to the Goderich poet office question in its issue of Sat- ardy, but the able young critic does not appear to have seized upon the salient points. He refers in several places to the member for West Huron as " Merrltw C. CAMERON," and says that the postmaster is " a out to hand in his resignation," in which event, says The Telegram writer, " one GALT, a son-in-law of MATTHEW C. CAMERON, is to be tumbled into the position of postmaster of Goderich." To all of which we may sal that the member's name is not " MATTHEW C," that the postmaster has no intention of hand- ing in hu resignation, and that member's son in-law is not in any im- mediate danger of being " tumbled into the post office."
