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.

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. John. Charlton, :NI. P. a man high in the councils of the government party Is in Washington, not officially, but to 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. Around About Us.

He is doing nicely under the physician's care. Peter Bradley, an old roan who lived with his step -son here, Stephen Snider, was found dead in bed at eight o'clock at Woodstock Thursday morning by one of his children.

Goderich Tp: Itis pcommonly repart- ed,and we believe no secret is made of the matter, that Mr. John Beacom intends to dispose of his farm in this township, and will take up his residence in London township. Of course it may be some time before this is done; Mr. Beacom's home was formerly in London township, and her parents being well to-do and up in years, are desirous of having their daughter and son-in-law take up their residence with them. " Jack will certainly be missed here, for he has not only taken an active part in public affairs, having on sev- eral occasions been a possible parlia- mentary candidate, but he has invar iably been the life of the municipal - nominations. 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?

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. 'Natives The i i es Desert lePlague I the - Deserting Stricken .. - 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. - Dutcher Harder Trial.
