A coon deal has been said and written
conceaning apple exnortatiou and the ill
luck attending some shipments made by
the farmers of Huron Co. It would ap.
pear from the following letter that there
is room for a little doubt, if nothing more,
concerning the ways and means of some
of the Commission men in the Old Land,
and shows that the drop in prices, in
some cases at least, was not owing to
either poor fruit or defective barrelling :
"Mn. Jas. EDG.m—Dear Sir :—On open.

The apples were in extra fine order, in

handled this season. Price paid, 12 shil-
lings. Like to hear from you again. J.

operative Co. Ltd., Cambuslang, Scot-
land" A note was placed in a number of
barrels asking for a report of condition on
being opened. The report from the Com-
mission, however, only allowed 8 shillings
for Spies as reported above at 12 shill.

".LAUB. = THE GOOD."
Under the above heading the Herald of
the 22nd inst. treated its readers to one
of a series of articles that have lately ap.
peered in its columns, presumably writ-
ten for the purpose -of evidencing the
soundness of the political faith of that
journal, which its editor said was being
challenged. The editor has evidently
concluded that the distinguishing char,
acteristic of a Conservative journal is that
it is abusive of everything Liberal. Look-
ing for au object on which to make an
attack, his eye lit eu the commanding
figure of Canada's First Minister and he
evidently concluded that if he can only
make him appear bo the eyes of bis read-
ers to be anything but what he is—a alis•
tiuguished statesman and a man of un.
Bellied private character --that 1'e will
earn the admiration of his random( and
forever remove.any doubt as bo the poli.
tical faith of his paper. It is true that to
attain that end ho must do some falsify.
ing, but of what account is that when
political and financial expoilienoy require
it It would appear from the article
that his vision was not yet wholly distort,
ed, for we find him making certain ad-
missions that show that the mists of poli•
Meal prejudice have slot yet blinded hie
sight. He says Mr. Laurier is an honest
man ; he is a gentleman and, will yon
believe it, the Herald, after. careful •con•
sideration, says' bis has average ability."
Fre then goes on to tell us that he is so
honest that he morally balanced all the

political sins of I3onore Mercier. 'what
gratitude that name must ever evoke in
the hearts of suoh Conservatives ae Sir
Charles, Sir Adolph, Haggart, Foster and
the Dr. of Indian fame. Whitt would
they have clone all these years for au an-
swer to the °barges of political wrongdo-
ing that have been brought home to them
could they not have gone to the grave of
Mercier and resurrected him to be a foil
to those attacks ? The Herald man Elude
fault with the Globe fon always picturing
Laurier as a benevolent looking gentle-
man performing some noble deed or en-
unoiating some lofty idea. .How would
yon picture an honest gentleman if not
with a benevolent look and doing noble
deeds 7 We always supposed that loon-
esty and geutlemanliness were associated
with just such looks and deeds. Now the
Herald considers these ridiculous picbur'
es because it knows, so it says, that Jim
Sutherland and his friends have decided
that they will star Laurier as Canada's
only honest Premier since McKenzie.
The Herald admits that Mr. Sutherland
is an "astute politician," therefore we
may conclude that he has made no mis-
take in his choice of material for his star
tour. No one would ever have thought
of "staring" any of the fellows who con.
stituted the last Cabinet of the Conserva-
tive Government. Why therewas scarce-
ly a man in it that the most ardent Con-
servative might not at times have mis-
taken for a "lightning bog," so fitful wits
their brilliancy. The Herald seeks to off.
set the opinion of Mr. Sutherland by that
of Mr. Tarte, but it is the opinion of Mr.
Tarte while he was still in "the gall of
bitterness and bond of iniquity." Mr.
Tarte was thea doing exactly what the
Herald man is doing now—sacrificing
honesty of purpose to political and finan-
cial expediency. Has the Conservative
party nothing of good in 0 that it seeks
to win popular favor through its speakers
and press by a vain attempt to to degrade
the Liberal party as at present constitut-
ed, that the public will conclude that one
is as black as the other ? If that is the
mission of the political press of Canada
to -day, then instead of being a power for
good it fa an unmitigated curse. Let tbo
Herald show what 0 good and noble- and
of value to Canada in the party to which
ib belongs and whose principles it should
advocate, and every Canadian, whether
agreeing or not, will at least honor it for
an honest effort to advance Canadian
interests.
Arron all Premier Laurier is filling the
bill tip-top even in the face of the pre-
dictions of the Opposition. Ile is not
only esteemed and valued in this Domin-
ion, but his capable management has won
favor hr the eyes of people who speak
with authority in the mother land, and
although the Conservative press can't
find room for complimentary references
to Hon. Wilfrid, as they used to when
fulsome flattery was served up to Sir
Charles Tupper, Mr. Laurier is fairly
and honestly winning his way, as he well
deserves to. The Loudon (Eng) Daily
News believes Premier Laurier has made
au excellent beginning. "His confident
tone," 11 says, "will be justified by the
event. As for the general Ministerial
outlook in Canada, says the Daily News,
"a gold boom in a colony is as great a
stroke of luck for the Government of the
day as was au abundant harvest in the
England of 60 years ago." Premier
Laurier has cabled in response to an in-
vitabioo of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce that 0 is not probable he will
visit England for some time. When this
was made known at the meeting of the
chamber last week, the chairman re•
marked that it was desirable that they
should come in closer connection with
Canada than bad been the case in the
past. If they could Dome into direct
communication with the Premier, ho
thought it would lead to good results.

Anyone seeing the robust health and
native form of Mr, Jack MoDonogh, who

would be considerably surprised to learn
that only two years ago he was a con-

case, and hearing of his remarkable cure
from the excruciating agony of inflamma.
tory rheumatism by the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, a representative of the
Watchman °allec1 upon him to learn the
particulars. Mr. MoDonogh was found
working at the harness bench, as well and
active as any young man in the country,
and in reply to a question about his sure
said ;—"Yes, mind was quite a remark-
able case. Two years ago last Spring,
while at home in Wiugbam, I was sud-
denly taken down with rheumatism, my
feet and ankles swelling so that I could
not even pub on an overshoe. I was in
bed for three weeks under the °are of the
doctor, and bad to use orntohes for a long
time after that. The next Spring the
rheumatism came back again, worsethan
over, attacking all my joints, but priuei-
pally my ankles, knees, hips, elbows and
wrists. The doctor gave me very little
encouragement, and said he was afraid of
it going to my heart and killing mo. I
had rend a great deal about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and the cares they had
wrought, and I determined to try them.
At first I did not notice much change,
bat before I had taken a half dozen boxes
I was so much improved that I had given
away my crutches and have never requir.
ed their use since. T still took the Pink
Pills for some time longer and I have
never hacl a touch of rheumatism since,
and hope I never may. I can say that
Pink Pills oured me of a bad case of
rheumatism and I cheerfully recommend
them to others suffering as I did.
Dr. Williams' Pines Pills strike at the
root of the disease, driving it from the
system and restoring the patient to health
and strength. In cases of paralysis,
spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica,
rheumatism, erysipelas, scrofulous trou-
bles, etc , these pills are superior to all
other treatment They are also a speci-
fic for the troubles which make the lives
of so many women a burden, and speedily
restore the rich glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. Men broken down by
overwork, worry or excesses, will find in
Pink Pills a certain cure. Sold by all
dealers, or sent by moil postpaid, at 50c.

the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont., or Schenectady, N. Y. Be-
