'ZOE1-I EAD HUNTERS AT WORK.
'. 7m. Seager has received a com-
elesion authorizing him to hold inves-
`' gations of charges: and complaints
ode against the following officials :
X1'31, Caste 3naa, Postmaster, Goderich,
J M. R'oi3ERTs, Postmast'r, Dungannon.
D.E. MORRO, Postmaster at Auburn,
L i is ELLIOi', Caretaker, Goderich.
�Y. D, TX E,. l
. r.1 iasA. DALTON, l Mail Clerks.
i.2..Fl&'ST1R, J.
When asked as to the nature of the
charges, Mr. Seager said he had re.
aeived no particulars, as the complaints
were made generally, but he had direct-
ed that the defendants should each be
tarnished with. a copy of the charges
against them, so that they might have
eiane to consider them. When that.
was done, he would fix dates for the
'leering of the evidence. He would
endeavor to do his duty impartially and
ixadependently.
These proposed investigations have
'eeu street talk for some time, and a
:peen interest will be shown when the
nquiry opens.
.1EDTVARD BLAKE'S OPPORTUY-
ITY.
it appears that a commission ap-
pointed by the British Government to
<enquire into the finances of Ireland
eve discovered the fact that Ireland
Inas been paying for many years about
$12,000,000 more than its just share of
taxes. In consequence Ireland is sup-
ied with a real grievance on which
ail tilt factious of Irish leaders eau
agree. The Imperial government has
rsrt apparently decided how to get out
csf the difficulty. And all Irish factions
leave agreed that on Edward Blake
must devolve the duty
of moving
_ a
zesolution on the matter in the British
Nouse of Commons. This is a question
Haat will excite a great deal of interest
and if Mr, Blake only handles the ques.
tion judiciously it will be the oppor-
tninty of a life -time for making a name
and fame for himself.
%WE GO VERN;MEMT TARIFF
POLICY.

the councils of the government party

mound the incoming party there about
saeiprocal trade.
it is reported that Mr, Cartwright
and the Premier will also visit Wash-
ag before the session begins in March.
The Dominion Government are evi-
flleetly anxious to make some capital
'taut of a treaty if one can be got.
The Reform party has for years de.
izounced protection and advocated a
eaty and it is only natural that all
the capital of years be not wasted by
=eking no attempt to carry out their
avowed policy.
FISH PROTECTION
Complaints from all the Lake Huron
:Sshermen on Canada side are common
eIre the past few years. Apparently
the catch is gradually getting less and
km. This is accounted for from indis-
eriminate fishing on the American side
and too much fishing and too little pro-
ixrtion of small fish on this side. Fish-
ermen sty that they can no longer live
at their calling and are looking for
mane better regulations to help them
mill, No doubt if the present condition
of things continues, Lake Huron will
valueless as a fishing ground in a
very few years. Correspondents are
mow going on between the two Govern-
ments with the object of remedying
this deplorable state of affairs.
Huron Co. Council will convene on
T ueeday, Jan. 26th. The 16 members
-who will constitute the council for 1897
—S are a representative body, 13 of
them being former Co. Councillors,
May
will, :we imagine,feel a sense
o
of loneliness when they think of the
(days of Auld Lang Syne. The first
siness of the Council will be the elec-
lln of a warden and as this officer has
almost invariably been chosen accord
.aa' to the strength of the political •vote
tel t he respective parties there is every'
probability of this plan being continued,
Politically the members will be equally
divrit d and as the casting vote goes to.
b
Councillor Co; of Goderich town
tehi la> District No. 2, and as there is not
much doubt as to Mr. Cox's politics, the
Tyal Opposition in the Provincial and
aorninian Parliaments will stand a
good chance of a representative sitting
I' the Warden's chair in Huron Co. for
feltetcoming two years. There will be a
good choice with such gentlemen as
Messrs. Mooney, Cook, Hays, Cox, Rol 1
lius and other old Co, Councillors to
choose from. On our side of the house
we would like to see the stalwart Mc-
Ewen, of Hensall, elevated to the seat
of 1louor. No man will be missed more
from the Co. Council than Reeve Eiiber
of Stephen, but he perferred the honors
at home to those of the county, We
believe in giving; the uewly constituted
body a good show and judge the "work-
ability" of the Act after a fair trial. If
16 men can do the business, however,
we don't see why 8 could not, one from
each district, -Brussels Post,
A well known Liberal, who ought to
know, said the other day, according, to
the London Free Press, that there are
radical changes ahead in the Post Office
Department, It is likely that the
number of divisions and inspectors in
charge will be reduced; also that more
modern ideas will be introduced - into
the book keepiug of the department.
Efficiency in railway clerks, inspectors
and ordinary clerks will be insisted on,
in a way that will soon weed out the
incompetent or the negligent. Quite
a number of clerks in various parts of
the country who drink too much have
been cautioned for the 'last time.

What will you do ?
Will You Risk Failure or Assure
Yourself of Success.
If you were dangerously ill, would
you call to your assistance some faith
cure imposter or a third or fourth rate
doctor? If you were obliged to defend
yourself in court, would you employ a
lawyer without ability or reentation?
If, from motives of true economy; you
find it necessary to do home dyeing, is
it wise and prudent to allow a dealer
to hand you some make ofP oor and
weak dyes; with which to do your work ?
Common sense and the saving of time
and money demand the useofDiamond.
Dyes, the only make tbat can bring.
good results and perfect satisfaction.
Common imitation package dyes ruin
your goods, ruffle your temper, and
waste your money. , •They would never
have a sale or a place in any home
were it not for the love of profit so
desired by shortsighted ' and greedy
dealers. Diamond Dyes are as neces-
sary for effective work as is the able
physician when one is in clanger.
ARBITRATION TREATY.
Correspondence Between Great Britain
and the United States Laid Before the
Washington, D. C., Jan.. .18.—The
President to -day furnished the Senate,
in response to 'a resolution adopted in
Executive session, with the correspoud-
ence between the Governments of the
United States and Great Britain result-
ing in the geueral arbitration treaty now
awaiting the approval of the Senate. A11
this correspondence has been previously
published in the newspapers, having beou
oflieially given out in answer to Con-
gressional resolutions or in the British
blue books.
Briefly stated, it consists of seven
notes, covering a period. from February
to ;Tiny of last yeas, exchanged between
the two • Governments. In Mr. Olney's
last note, dated June 22, the :geld of con-
troversy was much • narrowed, but au
agreement had not been effected, and it
is apparent that the ultimate coming
together of the two Governments was
brought about by personal interviews
between Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pau ncefote. No record exists at the .State
Department of this phase of the negotia-
tions, but it may be that some future
'British blue book will indicate its char-
acter by snaking publio Sir Julian's
cablegrams to Lord. Salisbury.
Some of the facts that appear in the
correspondence that was submitted to -day
are that the late Secretary Gresham in
the spring of 1895, initiated the corres-
pondence with Great Britain looking to
a general arbitration treaty, but for some
reason its consideration was dropped for
a time. It was resumed rather unex-
pectedly a year later, and this time by
Lord Salisbury, who, having been ap-
proached by Mr. Bayard with a request
for a settlement of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, accepted the sugges-
tion, but accompanied his acceptance
With an instruction to Sir Julian Paunce-
fote to reopen negotiations in Washington
for a general arbitration treaty. Indeed
the British Premier went so far in his
first note on ih's subject on November
eth lust as to $ulnuit a rough draft of the
deals of the treaty, which form the basis
of the doeunlent now before the Senate.
On April 11 Secretary Olney, on behalf
of the United States, welcomed these
proposals of the British Prime Minister
with the keenest . appreciation of their
value, and from that point on the nego-
tiations proceeded with an evident dis-
position on both sides to come together,
the salient issue being the extent of the
powers of the aubitraiion, Seoretary Olney
desiring to go much further towards
m&king their findings conclusive than
Lord Salisbury deemed it prudent to
undertake.
THE INDIAN PLAGUE.

.. - Cita-.....
Bombay, Jan. 18.—The situation is
growing rapidly worse, and the exodus
frons the city on account of the bubonic
plague continues. The official returns
issued to -day show that there have been
3,636 cases of the plague recorded, and
2,502 deaths from the pestilence.
The Times of India complains that
the sanitary conditions of Bombay have
been allowed to deteriorate for ten years
past, It adds that the whole future trade
of the city is involved, and that no ex-
pense upon the part of the Government
to stamp out the plague can be too
costly.
London, Jan, 1S.—The Daily Mall's
Bombay correspondent says: "In the
Banda district the famine conditions.
are harrowing. The whole population is
without food, and the people are dying in
the road rather than accept the Govern-
ment relief. Large employers of labor in
Bombay are suffering severely. Establish-
ments in which hundreds of workmen
Dere employed have now only a few peo-
ple left. 'Several places of business have
had. to be closed in consequence. The
mills are beginning to be affected, and if
the panic takes hold of the mill hands
the consequences will be very serious for
the industry. One mill manager said
the other day that he had no fewer
than 315 nren short that day. Streets
that a few days ago were crowded and
busy are now deserted, Driving through
one large street, the correspondent carne
across several large buildings totally de-
serted,while others had only one flat out
of five or six occupied. A regiment i f
native infantry, whose lines are in t::o
vicinity of one of the most affeett.1
wards, have been removed out into camp.
"The announcement that the authori-
ties were seriously contemplating com-
pulsory segregation has added to the
panic. The people will not submit to it,
and if it be enforced it is absolutely.cer-
taiu that serious trouble will ensue."
Against the Power Company.
Niagara Falls, Ont., Jan. 1S.—The
Village Council has lodged with the On-
tario Government a strong petition,
praying that the extension of time asked
for by the Canadian Power Company for
the beginning of work under their char-
ter be not granted, and the County
Council of Welland is asked to join the
village in its remonstrance. The village
memorial calls attention to the great
work of the Power Company on the
American side, which is building up a
strong and prosperous manufacturing
city, while stagnation rests on the Can-
adian side, owing to the inactivity of the -
persons controlling the charter.
Barring' the Canadians Out.
Buffalo, N. Y., .Ian. 1S.—The Depart-
ment of Immigration at Washington has
notified Inspector DeBarry of the intro-
duction and passage of the Corliss bill.
This bill provides that none other than
full-fledged American citizens will be
allowed to work on Government Con-
tracts. The passage of this bill win de-
prive many Canadians of work on the
Buffalo breakwater extension, and other
public works shortly to be entered upon
in this vicinity. -
