SEAFORTII, FRIDAY, Oca. 9th, 1896
Wound Up.
The Dominion legislators closed up and
prorogued on Monday last Most of the
members left for their homes on. Saturday,
and on Monday there was barely a quorum
to finish up, and in the Senate, Sir Oliver
had to plead with his old colleagues to
main over until Monday, else there would
not have been a, quorum in that body. The
old ehaps,although they do not do very much
for their money, eeem as anxious to get
home as soon as their pay checks are issued,
as do their very much harder worked breth-
ren of the Commons. The closing day is
usually more of a formal gathering than
anything else, but on this occasion the Op-
position kept up the struggle until the last,
and, indeed, at one time it almost seemed as
if prorogation would not bereached that
day, so fiercely did the war of -Words rage.
Mr. Foster, who has led the fighting on the
part of the Opposition all session, made a
long campaign Etpeech, pitching into the
Government on account of their promised
extravagance, and predicting a deficit for
this year of over eight millions of dollars.
Mr. kidding, the Finance Minister, had, of
course, to reply, and, judging from the re-
port of his remarks, heis a match for Mr.
Foster, and can give a Roland for an Oliver
every time. Ha showed that if the esti-
mated expenditure for this year is large, it
is almost precisely the same as that proposed
by Mi. Foster himself, and that any increase
over former years is due to the necessity of
the Govarnment to redeem the obligations
entered into by Mr. Foster and his friends
when they were in power, and that the time
to judge of the extravagance or economy of
the Government is at the end of the fiscal
year, when their expenditure can be criti-
eised, and when they ant/Mit estimates for
which they, and net the preceding Govern-
rnent, are really responsible. The reason-
ableness of this every person. will admit
The debate was continued by Sir Charles
Tapper and others,sothat there was a tol-
erably lively session. It is evident, how-
ever
-
evee that Mr. Foster and his colleagues
were only making fodder for the anticipated
bye -elections, and selected that occasion
trudging he could not be se fully replied to as
at anothertitne when the House was full.
However, as all things must have an ending,
MreFoster's deluge of words finally dried
ups and prorogation ,was allowed to take
place. The ceremonies were " about the
same, as usual. Parliandent had been in see-
sion about six weeks, and very little legis-
lation of -any account was passed. All,how-
ever, will have got their Parliamentary feet,
ea to speak, and will be better prepared to
commence the great battle which all are
Iboking forward to next session. If the
Government get as much done as they ex-
pect to, by the time the next session opene,
it will Likely last sixmonths or longer, and
be one of the most interesting and exciting
sessions on record. The questions to come
up are just etich as are most likely to create
eoatroversy, and the Opposition are still
strong in debating talent, and cen inake a
most interesting fight. So that rivers of or-
atory are likely to flow at Ottawa before
the year 1897 is very old.
Consistency, Thou Art, &c.
Our good friend, the Goderich Star, can
assume the virtuously incliguatt role to a.
nidety when it suits its purpose. In its is -
she of last week it says :
"Our esteemed contemporary, the Signal,
is in quite a -state of mind over the appoint-
ment of brother Sandy Gibson as registrar,
and it must be sitiel that the dissatisfaction
is not confined tcd the Signal, a -hose editor
at one time cast longing eyes on the job him-
self. A strong letter appeared in the Brus-
sels Post last week, and the New Eta
prbmises spece to another this week. Mete
is absolutely no defence of the appointment.
It is a scandalous piece of jobbery, and the
Star promises to condemn just as stoutly as
do our Grit friends now, any similar deal if
perpetrated by the Tory government, which
will take cherge.of Outario's affairs after
the next election. The offices and positions
of limier in this country, whether Provincial
or Dominion, must not be made matters of
family compact."
NOW, if the Star is so anxious to condemn
jobbery," it does not need to go beyond
ithown poiLtcI household for ample scope
for the exereise of its abilities in this dime -
tion, but we have not noticed that it. has
shown any special aptitude for the work. As
to what it will do in the future, perhaps the
peat may be the best criterion, and if it fails
to exercise its speeial penchant until a
Tory government takes charge of Ontario's
affairs, it will likely loam to practise its
virtace in the next a-orld, and not in this.
It is a pity, however, thet it did not erectiSe
if them when it had so many opportunities -
here. There is seemly a member of the
late Dominion Goi ernment that has not
ot one or mare near relatives in the public
sett ice, and there are few Tory member* of
Parliament of Whom the same could not be
said. Why, if the Star desires an example,
it need not go.beyond the bounds of its own
town, right under its own dose, in the Gode-
r:ch customs office, and yet,we have no re-
collection of having seen any diapla.y of this
virtuous indignation or "stout condem-
nation," of'Which it speaks, While ivi3 do
not condemn these appointments to Which we
haveallucled and While we do not say there
was anythi g improper about them, and
while we'do ot attempt to justify -the 0.p;
pointment I Mr.. Gibson to the 1.furon
registrarship because similar appointments
by the hundreds have been .made by the
Star's political friends, noris it necessary
that we should do so, we simply refer to
these appointments to show the incensist-
eney and insincerity ofour contemporary in
condemning the Registry appointment
-
while it for years : condoned, or at all
events kept a discreet silence, when simi-
lar appointments wefts made by its own po-
litical friends. We caii. also judge_ in .the
same way of the:sincerity of its promises as -
to what it will do in that happy future of
which it mentions. . .
In so far as the Registrarship appoint-
ment is concerned, it is, in our humble opin-
ion, quite defensible on its merit& I ?spite
the assertion of our contemporart , w are in
a position to say that there is nothing
scandalous" or even savoring?. of " job-
bery " about! it, or anything else re taring
the use of suCh•strong expletives. T e gen-
tleman who has been -appointed is -in every
respect qualified to' erform efficiently and
properly the duties o the office, while, from
his long and faithful ublie services as well
as his services to t.hej party, he had very
strong claims to the position. No appoint-
ment could have been made that would not
have caused disappointment and dissatisfac-
tion to same, especially. in a case where
there were so many worthy applicants for
the position, and the fact that 'some of the
disappointed ones, ' or their immediate
friends, have seen fit to expose their wounds
to the public, the proceeding, although, per-
haps, not in very good taste, is no evidence
that the appointineet is an improper one, or.
that it was kmproperly made.' However', it
is only natural, and it was to be expected,
that the Star and other Conservative papers
should strive to stir up bad blood and, ill
feeling over a matter -of this kind. That is
one of the main objects for which they ex-
ist, but it is a pity that they should be aid-
ed in their not very laudable work by one
or two Liberal papers.
,—We may mention here, in this connec-
tion, that the Mail and Empire has been
misinformed on the subject. If, as it says,
"the entire county is up in arms against
the appointment," no person in the
county knows it except the authority which
the Mail and Empire gives for its iitatement,
and that authority's vision is vastily magni-
fied by circumstances to which We need not
allude just now ; in factto such 4 extent is
this the case, that it is.not by any means a
reliable authority on the subject in hand:
The Mail may take note of this, and soon.
met any inisapprehensions its remarks may
have caused where the &diem not known.

To Help the Farme s.
When the item of $0,000 to p ovide.cold
iitora.ge was before Parliament ihe other
day, Hon. Mr. Fisher, Ministero Agricul-
ture', outlined the scheme the Grvernment
have in view. 1 He said:
It would cost about $15,000 to fit up.

dation, hence it would be necessary -to make
contracts for a term of years with steamship
companies. It was also proposed to bonus
an the creameries in the country for the
purpose of encouraging them to, provide cold
storage at the creamery buildings. This
would cost from $200, where there is cold
storage at present., tia $500, where it will be
necessary to put in new storage altogether o
and it was ,proposed to give a bonus of $50
this year, $25 the next, and $25 theithird.
year. As tothebenefit • of such st rage,
sales were made in England last week .-from
two creameries in the Northwest, the pro-
duct of the one with cold storage netting 2c
a. pound more than the other. This how-
ever, would consume $10,000 of the rant.
Besides, there would have to be bonu for.
cold storage houses in the ports of ship ent,
but the plan was not complete. Anther
proposal was to spend Money in advertising
in England the result of our-acold storage
system, and to expend $1,000 in stimuleting
the shipments of eggs to the British market.
AS to the cold storage scheme he
fa vgred a fixed sem coverin
contract with the steamships or five ,years,
on lines running to Liverpool, London,
Glasgow and Avonmouth.
A. Glood Suggestion.
A former IIItreenite writes to us from Fir
ley, Iowa, as follows :
" If yon possess any influence with the
Dominion Government, or even the Oetario
Government, could you not urge them to set
apart a township divided into patches of 40
or 80 acres, build cottages, and invite the
,Artneeians over, and settle a few families
thereon. They will pay for the improve-
ments in a short time. Their friends will
Soon follow them, and you would have an
Armenian settlement vieing in importance
with the Meeise of Menitoba. The Armen-
ians are not an ignorant, vicious, or uncivil-
ized people, but Christiane, sober, intelli-
gent, thrifty, driven from their country and
homes by bigoted,. unprincipled and merci-
less Mahomedans. They will make 'good
citizen's, and remunerate the country that
now offers an asylum, a h -.mired fold. •
Heaven's blessing will accompany the act.
Bis dat quo cite chit.' The Americans are
too busy to think 'of such a move now."
This is a suggestion which is well deserv-
ing the consideration of our Governments,
Northwest lying idle, and which might be
made productive and profitable .through
their ;instrumentality. The Ontario Or-
ernmell, also, has an abundance of suitable
land in the Rainy River district, w14,ch
.could,be•mmle available for the settlement
of these pe4le. TheY would require Pe-
cuniary assistance to bring them here, and
they would require care and aid after their
arrival, but this would be all the expense
that would need to be incurred by the Gov-
ernments. And it would only be the pion-
eerii that would need this aid, as in a coun-
try like ours, with their frugal and industri-
ous habits, they Would very soon not only
become self afistainingebut would, in ad-
dition, be able to recompense the country
for the aid given them, and render assist-
ance and encouragement to their country-
men who shouldicome afterthem. The sug-
gestion of bur friend is a good one, and we
hope to see it 'tinted on.

The very great injustice whichthe itwo

great railways of Canada inflict upon the
people of this country who, practically,
builtethem, is exemplified in the manner in
which they discriminate against Canadian
products in their carrying rates: American
corn is now being hauled by (.hese railways
t
from Nebraska to Halifax for nine cents
per hundred, while they charge , n Canadian
corn from Kent county to Halifax, eighteen
cents. As it is with corn, so is it for
almost every other product. Surely there
should be soma remedy. -for this sort of
thing -

The Toronto World does no usually
aste 'nicely honied words on any member
of the Grit Government, but it does pay
th;s tribute to the new Minister of Agricul-
ture. It says : "Mr. Fisher, lifhlister of

The recent strike of the Canadian Pacific
Railway telegraph *rotors, has brought
to light the fact that these officials have to
work from ton to tie-dye hours per day and
that they receive op an average one dollar
and sixteen cents per day. The remunera-
tion is not by any means princely, especially
in view of the responsibilities attaching to
the position, as if through any inadvertence
or neglect on their part a collision or other
accident causing loss of life should occur,
they statid a-, good chance of having to spend
the rein inder Of their days in the penitenti-
my. A tl to this, that they have frequently
in ridditi n to their ordinary duties, to buck
wood, slove1 snow, puznp water for the

adian Pacific Railway operator has big work
and small pay. -
Sir Charrrs and Lady Tupper celebrated

Frances Willard, president of the World's

York the other day. Mies hVillard's pres-
ence at the great W. C. T. U. convention at

of Ruseitt, who had been paying a friendly
visit to the Queen, at'Balmoral, left on Sun-

companied her departing guests to this door,
of the castle, where she bade them an affec-
tionate farewell and wished them God-
speed. The departure of their Majesties
was made an occasion of great .ceremony.
The Scots Greys, of which regiment the

of honor during the visit and escorted their

Blyth.
THE SHOW.—The Blyth show has been
for years, an event of more than merely
local interest. Both exhibitors nd %diatom
attend it from all, parts .of he county.
The show Which was held on Ti esday and
Wednesday last was no exeep ion in this
respect. The weather was an thing but
favorable, the first day being w t and the
second day both wet and cold, zo much so
thaton Wednesday it was excel dingly un-
comfortable for all concerned. espite this
drawback however, there was a 1 rge crowd
of people present, although, no d ubt hun-
dreds remained 'at home who vt ould have
come oat had the weather been propitious.
A number of exhibitors were also, to
doubt., kept away from the st me cause..
he show in the liallevis all tha could be
desired. . -Every department wa well re-
presented, -and those of the fruit and vege-
tables particularly so. In thee depart-
ments there was -the largest displ y we have
seen at a local show this year. 1 he other
departments, also, were all well up to the
mark and there was really a particularly
fine display. The effects of the unfavorable
weather were more manifest in the field,
where the competition was less keen than in
many former years many of the exhibitors
who.had entered their stock having failed
to bring them forward.. The show of heavy
horses was fully up .to the mark, but in
light horseee cattle, sheep and swine there
was a light show. In poultry there was a
keen,competition, while there was also a
good array of implements.. This was the
first show -held upon the new grounds.
These' grounds are situated on the west
side of the village and are admirably adapt-
ed to the purpose,beingeommodious and very
convenient to the business part of the
The grounds comprise . thirteen
-acres and are comfortably fitted up with
offices, pens and other such adjuncts. It
is, also,the intention of the society to make
a half . mile driving track, and to erect
sheds and stalls for the accommodation of
stock. When these improvements are com-
pleted, Blyth will have an exhibition
ground, which; for size and completeness
will be unexcelled in this part of the
country. Another peculiarity about the
Blyth show is, that the directors have
always kept their gate fee at the exceeding-
ly modest sum of ten cents, and with this
they have not only kept their societY afloat
but have made it one of the most popular
and .succeseful institutions of the kind in
the _three counties, and have also acquired a
valuable property. This success is alike
creditable to the offiders • of the society;
business men of the village,: who always
take a deep interest in their show and exert
themselves to make it successful aiod pop-
ular, and to the people of the surrounding
country who so liberally patronize it both
by 'their exhibits and pecuniarily. The
proceedings on Wednesday .terminated by a
grand concert in the evening, which was
largely attended and which was a gratifying
success in every respect. We did not learn
the amount of the gate receipts at the ohow,
but judging from the appearance of the
crowd we should 'say they will be fully up
to the average of forrner years. The list of
successful competitors will be published
next week.-
