"HOW 2'.1:1E ,PLOT WORKS,"
We clip the following. from Canada's
greatest newspaper, the Empire, which
appeared in its eolumns of Saturday
last. We have no comments to -make
thereou as it speaks for itself:—
"The intimate relations of Grit jour-
nalists and,politicians with Washington
and their machinations to carry out
their idea of surrendering Canada to
the United States are more than sus-
pected, but the working of the plot
against our country has never been
revealed with such effrontery as by the
Mitchell Recorder. This Grit journal,
in. an editorial under the heading "A
Two -Handed Game," quotes the follow-
ing from the Ottawa .Free Press:
"Yesterday's despatches from Waiih-
ington indicate that while our Domin-
ion rulers are looking to the American
capital for pointers in regard to taritf
and fishery legislation, some of the,New
York congressmen have their eyes upon
Ottawa, and are watching for an excuse
to introduce retaliatory legisAtion
against Canada, Mr. Baker„.:who'hails
from Rochester, announces that iza the
event of the Canadian Parliament, re-
imposing the duties on fralts trees,
shrubs, seeds, etc., he will rush dulongh

policy of two years ago."
This action ,,of, Congressman girt
the Recorder proceeds to
follows
A few days prior to the appearance
ef the foregoing paragraph in the
Ottawa papers we were in receipt of
the following letter:
Rocuzsran, March —, 1890'
'Thos. H. Race, _Mitchell, Ont.
"Daaa Sta.---Replying t� your favor
regarding the restoring of the old duty
ton plants, shrubs, roses, etc., please
accept our thanks. We have written
to our representative, Hon. Chas. S
Baker, of Washington, and also to
Messrs. Chase Bros , of our own city,
and action will be taken at once.
Yours, etc.,
".JAMES VICK, Seedman."
The Thos. H. Race to whom this
letter is addressed, the correspondent
and informant of the well -Miami
Rochester seedman, the "we" of the
nrtiele—is the publisher of the Mitchell
Recorder. To leave no doubt as to the
part be was playing, he adds the fol -
towing explanation:
'When the Dominion Fruit Growers'
Convention met in Ottawa in February,
and u -e were unable to be there through
illness. the represeetatives from this
province, being mostly Conservatives
from the Niagara district or border
counties, an effort was made to induce
the Government to impose the old
duties on fruits, trees, etc., as noted
above Not being able to raise our
voice in opposition to the proposition
there, it occurred to us that opposition
miyht be worked up from another quar-
ter. The evidences are that we did
not miscalculate."
Here is the whole system exposed in
all its naked deforrpity. This Grit
journalist, because he cannot prevent
his Conservative neighbors from en-,
deavcring to obtain protection for the
Canadian fruit -growers and gardeners
from United States competitors, deter-
mines to work up opposition front an-
other quarter. So this supposed Can-
adian writes to a Rochester florist to
influence a member of the United
States Congress to introdute a measure
hostile to Canada, and having succeed-
ed in stirring up action at Washington
against his countrymen this, patriotic
Grit journalist boasts 'thatam did not
Miscalculate in his ditty work. • .

. ground- con duitpitae connecting Canada

TLW REALLY LABOR CONIFE11,,.
• ENCE,
The attention of those, who take an
interest in tenor questions is at pres-
ent directed to the International Con-
ference at Berlin, the outgrowth of the
action taken by the Emperor of Ger-
many, who already has proved himself
to be the possessor of qualities of State&
manship of a high order. The quest-
ions under the consideration of the Con-
ference are thus set forth in a note ad-
dressed to the Governments of the var-
ious countries invited to participate; I.
The regulation of work in mines, with
the subsidiary questions: (a) Whether
underground employment should be
prohibited in the case of children under
a certain age and females? (b) whether
restriction of the duration of the shifts
should be prescribed for mines in which
work is particularly dangerous to
health; and (c) whether it is possible to
subject work in mines to internatioual
'regulations in order to assure the reg-
ularity of the output of coal? II. The
regulation of Sunday labor, with the
subsidiary questions: (a) Whether work
should be prohibited on Sunday, except
in case of need, and,if sowhich except -
1
ions may be allowed? and (b) whether
these exceptions should be determined
by international agreement, by law, or
by administrative measures? III. The
regulation of children's labor, with the
Subsidiary questions: (a)Whether child-
ren up to a certain age should be ex -
„eluded from industrial work, and if so,
, in what manner the age lap to which
villa exclusion should take place is to
be determined 2 and (b) whether the

regulation of female lib* with the
questions: (a) Whether the work of

day or by night? (b) whether the work
Of all females should be restricted, and
what restrictions woulti be advisable;
and (c) Whether exceptions should be
provided for in the cases of individual
branches of industry, and, if so, for
which? VI. The carrying out of the
rules adopted by the Conference, with
thequestions: (a) Whether regulations
should be laid down for execution of
the stipulations to be agreed upon;and
as to the superintendence of the same,
and (b) whether the representatives of
the Governmentsinterested should hold
further conferences,and what questions
are to laid before them? Of course the
decisions of the conference on each of
the questions submitted for considera-
tion will not take a binding form, but
will be reconamendatery. The fact that
in the early part of Ills reign the pres
ent Emperor of Germany has given his
attention to the problems •of labor
proves that he is thoroughtly abreast
with the times—that net only is he in-
tent upon carrying on the work of con-
solidating the German Empire, inaug-
urated by his greed -father,” the late
Emperor William I.,in conjunction with
the late Chancellor, Prince Bismarck,
but that he has at heart the best inter-
ests of the working -classes. A ruler
thus manifesting concern for the wel-
fare of those who earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow cannot fail to
secure the confidence and loyal affection
of the people over whom he rules. That
William II., is destined to play an im-
portant part in the government of his
Empire and to exercise a wide -spread
influence in the political affairs of Eur-
ope appears certain. No Sovereign in
modern times has come so rapidly tO
the front, and none hasin such a short
space of time (he succeeded his father,
the late Frederick IL, in 1888) display-
ed so much practical capacity for dis-
charging the important duties attach-
ing to his important and exalted, posi-

; On 'Thursday next (One , week from
to day) the CleetorSailt be called -upon
to exorcise their fnnellise, as to Whether
they will have a. cash market for butter,
eggs and Small farm produce. We

of the by.lew. In the first place it
will be a great benefit to the town
Why? Because today a large number
of the farmers take their butter and
eggs to St. Marys, London epa other
places where they can get the cash for
tt, and when going there with their
butter and eggs they take some grain
&so They sell whatever they may
take for the ready cash. Do they bring
alt that money home with them? They
do not. They go shopping from one
place of business to another until they
spend a greater portion oft pfoceeds,
it certeinly would be a benefit to
Exeter if those farmers could be in,
duced to trade here. The cash market
is the very inducement they want. In
the second piece it will he a benefit to
our residents in this way. They can
go to the market and purchase just
whatever they want. in butter, eggs,
etc., while at all the stores you cannot
have the choice of perhpps fiye hundred
rolls of butter or same number of
dozens of eggs. You will be able to
get your own choice and not be com-
pelled to take what does ur,449, yen,
although the merchant does no't coMpel
you to take what does not suit you,
but out of modesty you caunot leave
his place of business and go elsewhere,
Our residents can rely upon purchasing
the right article and should they not
they will then know who sold the in-
ferior stuif. the third place it will
benefit the merchant in many ways.
If any farmer or farmer's wife goes
into their place of business with a
basket or tub of butter, that merchant
is almost compelled to take the butter
and pay the highest market price for
it whether it be good or bad, it makes
no difference. Should he refuse the
probabilities are that he will loop the
custom of that farmer. If we have a
cash market with buyers there the
merchant will then be relieved of this
necessity. He will receive, no doubt,
a greater paten of that farmer's cash
after he has sokd his produce. The
customers that the merchant has in
town cannot then complain of either
getting bad butter, eggs or anything
else If they purchase it at the market.
In the third place, should the whole
thing prove a disastrous failure the
town cannot loose anything, as the
Board of Trade. agrees Wiley all ex-
penses that may be imitated 'thereby.
We ask the electers to weigh alt the
above facts carefully and
they cannot help but mark their ballots
as follows:

THE NEW CONSTABLE OA THE
TOWER.
General Sir Daniel Lysons has been
appointed to succeed the late Lord
Napier of Ilagdala as Constable of the
. .
tower of London, an office previously
filled by another soldier of distinguish-
ed merit, our late fellow -countryman,
the hero of Kars, General Williams.
Less than a generation ago, as many
may remember, at an important junc-
ture in our history, the new Constable
of the. Tower, was associated with Sir.
John Macdonald, in organizing a suit-
able system'of defence to meet the then
urgent requirements of the country.
One of the results of the Commission
appointed on the occassion was the well
known Lysons Militia tall—a measure
well and ably devised, but's° unpopul-
ar with the French Canadians, owing
to its conscriptive character, that its
attempted passage into law caused the
defeat of the Government of the day,
at whose head presided a French Can-
adian no less popular and distinguish-
ed than the late Sir George Cartier. It
may be added that it was at the period
referred to that the office of Minister of
Militia and defence was created, Sir
John Macdonald. being the first to be
appointed thereto. ,
THE. COMMAND OP THE .0.Rlif Y.
The indications are that His Royal
Highness Prince Arthur (Duke of Con-
naught)now on his way to Canada
from India en roue to England will,
. ,
at not a very distant day, succeed the
Duke of Cambridge as, Commander -in -
Chief of the Britieh Army. A leading
English jontna,l, referring to the mat-
ter, says that eia months ago the Duke
of Cambridgeartid no idea of -retiring,
but now, it is reported, lie is full of , in-
tentien to abanaon the chief command
of the army. It is said in °Mei& sir
cies that Mr. Stanhope, Secretary. ofState for War, rims 'already donelltpd
the Prime Minister upon. the subse•
quent step whith would be 'neceaeary.,
If the Duke is so' resolved, he will ask
for audience of the Queen, ard• 'inform
Ilex:Majesty of lie deiihe, ••and' the
Queen would Mom the Secretary of
State for War, together with hr wish-
es as to his successor. It is 11.11461',56604
OW the Qneen will not exercise the
prerogative of appointing,' tar son by
patent, and that the Duke of Con-
naught will be named General Com-
la:width/pin-Chief for a terill of fiVe
years, with provisions in a royal' war-
rant which may held to give that term
a definite character. The Duke of
Cannaught is expected in Canada ear-
lfin May.
UNITED STATES PENSIONS.
•••••••,..
The House of Representatives Com-
raittee on Pensions estimates the nnne-
ber of survivors of the TJnion Army, at
1,200,000. A ,statement has been com-
pleted giving an outline of the bills
which have the approval of the com-
mittee. First, there is the Service Bill,
which proposes to pension all who sery
ed ninety days or over at $8 per month
as soon as the soldier becomes 62 years
of age. This will take *12,000,000, as
it is estimated that there are 200,000
who are now 62 years old, but 75,00Ctof
these are now on the pension roll;leav-
ing 125,000 to be benefited by the bill.
(2) The Dependent Bill 'which will
pension all under 62 years of age who
can show either disability or inability
to ern a living regardless of cause at
$8 per month, for which purpose $20,-
000,000 will be required. (3) The Wid.
ows' Bill, which provides for the pen-
sion of all widows of soldiers, regard-
less of the cause of the soldiers' death,
if they are dependent on their own
manual labor for support. For this
purpose $8,000,000 will be required.
(4) Prisoners of War. This bill -plea,
vides for a per diem allowance of $2
while the soldier was in prison, if sixty
days or over. It is estimated that they
number 80,000,and to pension them $7,-
500,000 will be required. The total
Pension estimate for the coming fiscal
year under these bills is $150,000,000.
This enormous sum, which it is propos-
ed to expend on pensions in the United
States next year is considerably more
than half of the net public debt of the
Dominion of Canada, which at the end
of last month amounted to about $236,-
000,000.

difficult solos on the Violin, and the
Misses Gill, 'vocalists, who deserve great
distinction for their singing in duct
