There is no member of the Ottawa Gov- ernment, unless it may be:the Premier him- self, who is more closely looked after and whose actions are more keenly .ecratinized by his political opponete, than the Miaister of - Public Works, Hon. Mr. Tarte. This is due, no doubt, to the prominent part taken by Mr. Tarte in exposing the miedeeds of, his opponents, when they were in office, and. on this account they are contiatially on the alert to catch him tripping. This being the cage, the Ntinisterlaf Public Works should be doubly careful not to give his opponents cause for complaint. He also occupies one of the most important positions in the Gov- ernment. He made a good commencement and one which promised good results to the coaatry. He has already- saved a very con- .siderabie surn annually by diepensina with the services of useless eniployees in his de- partment, men for whom there was no work and who held their positions solely because of their political influence, anti not because they were required in the public service. This being the case, it is a pity that he should in any way impair a good record by little aets of indiscretion, which migh t easily be avoided and which in his case should be avoided. For example, he made_ a mistake when he entered an action for feel against a Montreal journalist who had tried to extort money from him, and when he fOund he would. not bleed, said some a-ery uncomplimentary things about him in his paper. Ibis not wise for a cabinet minister to pay too much heed to every cur who yelps at his heels. 11 h. does he is stare to be in hot water all the time. In this case, the accusations were eery offensive, but even so, it would have bepay-better had they ' been treated with the silent conampt which they merited. A cabinet rainieter does not need, or shoulhi not need; to go into court to defend his character against his detract - are. If he administers the business of his department"honestly and economically, the country will willingly overlook newspaper • yarns which have scarcely the semblance of probability about them and which are clearly made out of personal revenge or for purely political purposes. The public" are net slow to distinguish between these and. genuine wrong -doings on the part of their parliamentary representatives. Another mistake Mr. Tarte has made is in the mode of travel he has adopted on his present visit to the Northwest. The Liberals before coming into power, very properly- condemn- ed the practice adopted by members of, the fernier government of junketing aboat the country in special palace cars, equipped with obsequious attendants and provisioned with the choicest the land co -aid afford; and all at, the cost of the country. In fact, un- der the late government, this palece bar business became a scandal and a disgrace. It got to he that a cabinet minister could scareely visit his constituents unless' he travelled in one of these gorgeoes palaces, and people felt righteously in:pgnant when they saw a man who, before he became a cadinet Minister, was scarcely able to afford the expense of an ordinary first-class ticket °a a railway, come out in a palace ,d-ar , at- tended by half a dozen liveried flunkies a few weeks after he became a cabinet minis- ter. People were very naturally' disgusted at this sort of flunkeyisna, and they con- cluded that eoraething must be wrong where it was going on. This is one of the things which had its influence in defeating the late gevernnaent. The people expected that, when the Liberal party came into power this apecies of offensive extravagance -would cease. Tjhe friends of the govn- ment were much gratified when they learn- ed that on a certain occasion Mr. Lau "%- refused a special palace ear whiela had ben pia.ced at his disposal by the railwa,ycern- party, and rode in the ordinary car. 'lthis act, insignificant as it may seem te sone, did much to raise the Premier in the est m atiora ef the people and encleared him to. them more than if he had appeared on the first occasion after his elevation to power, , arrayed in gold lace and attended by a retinue of welt -groomed and gorgeously at- tired) servants. The people of Canada are toe Democratic in their sentiments to ap- preciate this sort of thing: In fact, it is extretnely offensive to them; when practised by their public men. We venture to say, therefore, that there was a feeling of very keen disappointment on. the part, of the best friends of the government When it was learned a few days aygo that Mr. Tarte, the Miuister of Public Works, failing to follow the example of his 'leader, took passage on the special .palace car, Jamaica, so often used by his predecessors in office, and that h had with him all the offensive access - aides which accompany that mode of travel- ing. Sensible people will not think half sii much of him,travelling" in state in thie Way, as if he traveled in the ordinary 'way al other people do. If Mr. Laurier iswise._ he will put his foot down on this business at once, and let his colleagues understand that. if they_must travel In this way, they enust do it at their own expense. and at times t4hen they are not on public business. It is a comparatively small thing, but it is just niete of those small things that haven great deal of signifieance. If Mr. Tarte had gene t° the Northwest on his own business and , at his own expensee he would have 11..d a right to go as he pleased and de as he pleased so long as he c4d not violate the law,. but when transept - g the business of the country and at the c untry's expense, he should travel. -fa' the mode the people deeire him to do, and in a business way. The country has no right pay for the pleasures of hinaeelf, his fem ily and Ms friends,. and we are very much elined to the opinion that it *will not do so for any great length of time. Business business and should be transadted in a basiness manner, whether by a cabinet min- i ter or any person else. The Crow's Niest-Pass Railway. , Appearances eeem to indicate that a good deal of pressare is being brought t�bear on t e Donate' ion Government to induce it to t ke up the 'scheme of constructing What t i4 commonly known as the Crow's Nest ss Railway. This n pressure is being anipulatecl from various different interest - • sources. Discussing' the subject the- l4Toodstock Sentinel Review says; "Everybody in this country must realize, a we have pointed out, the necersity for a ilway.into the Rossland district of British olembia by way of Crow's Nest.

But it is a grave the Dominion should pay Cost of such an important ossland is to have one tithe population in a few years d for it, it can very well he Crow's Nest Pass Rail - the Province of British hole should -do the same e Roseland district and the eir duty, the Dominion Id be ready to do the rest d through at once. The have done as much' to bonus and build their own railways, which now constitute parts of the :two great nat- ional syAteres, that they will naturally ex- pect the people of the Pacific coast Province to do their duty before they ask the Dom, inion to build a, new line of railway chiefly for their benefit. But one thing is cleat : this British Columbia railway is absolutely necessary and should be build at thel earliest possible moment. It Will be an enormous boon to British Columbia • and will benefit Canada as a whole." This is very good so far as it goes.. There i no doubt but the road would be, of im- Meese advantage to the mining diStriets and 4ose interested in : these enterprises, as well as to the whole of theprovince of British dolumbia; and:it Would be but right that ail these should contribute liberally to its construction. But if with this assistance it could not be made to pay as' an independent be -knees enterprise, the time for it has not yet arrived. This road, if constructed ittould, necessaeily, be a part of the Canada -Pacific railway and would be operated by ite and its earnings , would go into the coffers of that company. This being the case, it may be well to ask what that ecnnpany going -to do towards its • construc- tion? One would naturally suppose that if the road is so reach required in the public. irterests, that with the aid which the min- i g towns and the Province .of British Col- i4ibia gould give t assist in its construction, the Canada Paeificj could easily do the bal. a ce. Or is it apposed that the road s ould be built by the 'parties named, aided oat of the'Dominio treaSury, and then be handed over to Mi. Canada Pacific as a free gift, on condition that' the company will operate it, as was the' case with the main Hoe. This Nvould, of course, be a very mice arrangement for the parties more immed- iately interested Mei for the railway com- pany, but it weep, not be so aceeptable to the people of a mrajoritir of the provinces of the Dominion. In short, the Dominion caheot afford to. assist in this enterprise. It has as much on lie hands how as it can handle. The Dominion did her duty to the western provinces when she built the mein line of the °retch). Paeific. If this new road is needed, private enterprise will soon supply the want. If it -is' not needed, and would not pay, the Dominion treasury should not be bled to do for people what they will net. at emPt to do for themselves. It would, we s , be a gress injustice' to . the older pr vinces of the Dominion to tax them for th construction of this road which would be ofi comparatively little value - to them; It is all very well to say f•that it mest be built in order to keep- the mining trade in the DOhninion. But it is doubtful if ftey greeter share of that trade would cothe to Eastern Granada even if the road were built. The United States furnishes the na ural -market foelthat section of countiy, , en it is,mighty Uphill work to fight aglinit na ure. We in Canada hat e been playing at hat game for long -a time and wehave got so much the wort of it tha it is time we were giving up the eneve and uhatural straggle. Canada has done well in the way of aiding railways, and if a y more ate re - i qutred in British. Columbia • r elsewhere, let them be supplied by privat enterprise, to- g ther with the aid they n ay receive from tl4i provinces interested. ntario has min - ie i fields of her own, just as good as the Pr miees of British Columbia She does not ask the Dominion to assist ter in develop- ing these and she has no ri lit to be forced to 1 assist British Columbia, or any other prOvince. i i. The Toronto Sun, the paper that used. to be the organ �-f the Patrons, in referring ,to 1 a lunar that Sir Richard Cartwright may be [sent to England as Canadian Commission- er,' pays the Minister of Trade and Coni= mehce the following truthful and ell de- served tribute. It says : Mr. Liturint ust be convinced by this time that withotj Sir Rtehard Certweight.his cabinet wouh cut but a sorry figure on the floor of Parliafhene. It is the belief in Ontario, as well aas in Qttebee, that Sir Richard is the ()ply Min- ister strong enough. to beat back the Petits TRE- HURON EXPOSITOR _ and Pas:muds from the treasury, and • tie de- parture for England, even if he 3honld return tie the House every utssion, would excite uneasiness among the fr ends o good government in both parties, as well as among the rapidly growing irmy o inde- pendents. We are not corn lamenting Sir Richard, but merely stating a fact, Li sity• -ing that he ix the man most 1 admired and tweet trusted to -day by the fa mers f On- tario. , .

This 's What should be done, as the s laries of eit postmasters are now entirel cut of pro ortion to the allowances earne by postma tees in small towns and rural districts. It is not in B itish Colum ta, alone that, there is likelito be a big mining boom. Ontario, which i never behind the other provinces in anything .i is- coming up with its boom also: ' Very important gold discov- eries have recently been made in the Rainy River district, besides silver, copper and coal in differentpaats of Algoma end Mus- koka. The Ontario Crown andstDepart- ment is sending Dr. A. P. Coleman to Algoma, to examine into the ore deposits recently discovered there, and if they prove on investigation.as valuable a reported, the Government intend taking im ediate steps for their development. s The Secretary of Agricult re at Wash- ington makes a very careful ca1ouIation from which he shows that on thf wheat sold since the 1st of September last, the farmers of the States have raised 828,683,000 by the increase in prices or mo,re than they would have done had prices, remained the same tis they were at the date me tioned. And if prices remain at whet theyre now they will receive $30,000,000 mor for the bal- ance of their crop still rem' ining 'unsold :than they would have reeeiv d had prices not advanced. In other w� ds, if prices remain as they are now, the proceeds from the sale of this year's wheat crop Will net the,farmer $58,688,000 over and above the valoe of the erop on September 1st. •• This sholild help them out of a good many holes. The gain will be proportionately large to Canadian farmers. Its showing the value of apples this season we bay state that afees days go 580 barrels of apples had drifted ashore near Amherst - burg from asteanter which had been wreck- ed.! The authorities Of that town telegraph- ed .to the Underwriter's Association at Ohihago, asking what they Would do with the 'apples. The insurance cempanies con- sidering that the salvage, 'hauling and freight would amount to abotit as much as the apples were worth, telegrephed back to the Amherst burg people : " h„ou had better rot the apples." A paragraph is going the rounds of the Conservative press to the effect that when the Mowatgovernment assumed power in Ontario, thehifficials undeethe Government numbered sic hundred, while now they number. over three thousand, and this is held up as an example. of the extravagance. of the Government. Now, we do not know whether the statement is correct or not, but asamaing that it is, it does not of itself establish a charge of extravagance. The point is, are the officials needed and do they give the people value for the money which is paid them? Until the critics prove that these officials are not profitably employed and that they do not earn the money paid them,' they do not establish any. wrong- doing' against the Government. That they can do this, we very much doubt. . A meeting of the Ontario Conservatives was held in the‘Mitil and Empire building in Toronto, on Monday last. The. meeting was called -Op the • joint invitation of the Dominion and Provincial leaders,Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. J. P. Whitney. It was for organization purposes and was attended by members of the Senate, Dominion Parlia- ment, Provincial Legislature, defeated can- didates at the last, Provincial and Dominion electiena and Presidents of District. Conser- vative -Associations. There were about three hundred present. The proceedings. consisted principally ;of speeches by the leaders and -oth4rs preminent in the party and organization: The province was divid- ed into tw.enty-divisioes ande chairman or organizer was appointed for each division. A central or Provincial Association was also formed. There was nothing *done towards formulating a rilatfortn for the -party. Sim- ilar organization's are to be effected in all the other pawl -aces.. ; Organization is no doubt necessary, butat seems to us, that in so far as the Provincial wing Of the party' is concerned, at any rate, a definite policy is.as necessary as organization.' What the policy of the Opposition in. the Legislature is, 'would puzzle the most astete to make , out. In fact, they have no _policy, as they have abandoned everything they ever had approaching to a policy. However, we sup- pose.they know their own business • best. There. ie no doubt but the Dominion and Provincial branches of the party have de- cided hereafter to make a- common cause. - This will, perhaps, afford the PrOvincials additional -strength..

She had reached the good age of 72 years. She had been a resi- dent of Crediton and its immediate vicinity for over forty years. She knewe therefore, what pioneer life was, and like the other noble pioneers of this country, shehad her share of: hardships, but by. industry . and' good mentigemeet on the part of herself andi husband, they have been able for some years i to retire;from the more active duties of life ‘ and lire in ease and comfort. She was a truly goad woman. in -every sense of the term, and while not making, any ostenta-, tious show of 'generosity, no deserving per- son ever :applied to her in vain, either for needed caunsel or more tangible evidences of kindness, and consequently she was not only highly respected by all who knew her, but sincerely belovedbymany. As an in- dex of her character we may state that she had read the Bible through thirty-five times, an incident which became known incident- ally, as she net er boasted of her good' works, and her actions rather than her words spoke for her. She was a consistent and devoted church member, and last spring when it .was decided to erect the new church in Crediton, she manifested her in- to est in and her zeal for the good work by not -only_ handsomely. subscribing herself, but se ured other subscriptions to a fund to pro- cure lamps, carpets and ether necessaries for the handsome new edifice. She also presented to the buildin committee a large and splendtd bell for usv on the -new church*, and a peculiar coinciden e in this doneection is the fact that the ell was rang for the first time after being p aced in that tower, for the funeral service o the donor. About nine years ago Mrs. Eilber, in company with her husband, visit d her native -land and had. an opportun ty of viewing . the scenes of her youth A ,hich she, evidently, -enjoyed iverymuch. T e remains were in- terred in -the Germa cemetery and the funeral services, cond cted by Rev. Mr. Schmidt, of Crediton, a d Rev. Mr. Eby, of Dashwood, were very i pressive,the funeral discourse. being based upon a passage of scripture selected by the deceased while in life, and was as follows: "As for me, I will behold Thy face in righ eousness ; I shall be satisfied when I awake ith Thy likeness." She will he much misse • in the community where she had lived so Icing and was so highly respected. Much sympathy is felt fee her bereaved husband.- U8b01711e. PASSED AWAY. -Another of the pioneer settlers of this township., in the person of Mr. John Cameron, of the :Thames _Road, near Farquhar, has, been removed by the great reaper. Mr. Cameron. was born in Cowan, three miles frorn Glasgow, Scot- land, in tWyear 1816. He was, therefore, eighty years of age at the time of his death, which took place last week, the funeral be- ing on Friday. He came to Canada with other members of his family when -four years of age. The family settled in the township of Dalhousie, county of Lanark, about twenty miles from where the town of -Perth now stands. He, along with the late Dr. John Kay, came to the township of Usborne in the year 1851, and took up the farm near Farquhar, on which he centinued t� reside until his death, He was among the first; settleiis:n that neighborhood, but -by induStry, e 'severance, and - judicious nianagenient,-s on succeeded in making a comfortableho se for himself and family, and now leav one of the finesthome- steads inthe c unty. He was married in Dalhousie to liss Florence McInnis, who survives him. They had a family of three daughter and one son. The eldest daughter is Al s. J. J. Hamilton, now of St. Paul, Minnes ta, the second daughter is Mrs. B. Alien, - of Stealford, Ontario, and the third was Mrs. 0. Climmie, of Listo- wel, now deceased. The son is Mr. Thos. Cameron, the well known secretary_ of the Usborne and Hibbert fire basurauce com- pany, and who owns and occupies the old hcahestead. MreCameren was consist- ent member of the Presbyterian church and a staunch Liberal in politics. He . was a splendid type of man and a typical ,repre- sentative of the sterling, honest and indus- • trious pioneers, who have done much to make this country What it is. He did well his.part in life, and leaves behind him an honored name. . Kippen.

Josern Rotentee.-On Saturday morning last the citizens of Clin- ton were much grieved to learn of the death of one of the town's oldest and racist highly respected residents in the person of Mr. Jo- seph Rowell, at the age of 85 years and 10 months. He has resided, here since the year 1874, and had won the univereal re- spect and confidence of all 'who came in con- tact with him. Mr. _Rowell was born in England, near Newcastle -on -the -Tyne, on the 10th December, 1810, and emigrated to Canada in 1844, settling hi York, now To- ronto. In 1862 he, accompanied by his youngest, son took a trip to California, having to sail from New York to South America in order I to reach his destination: From California he went to Yale, British Columbia, returning to Clinton in 1874.t In religion, he -was it Congregationalist, and for many years he was deacon of Zion church, Toronto; was a life-long total ab- stainenalways taking part in all temperance and church work, and lived a consistent, Christian life. In politics, Mr. Rowell was a staunch Liberal, but when convinced of wrong in either party, .immediately de- nounced it. Two sons and one daughter seavive him; the eldest living n in Chicago andthe youngest in San Bernardino, Cali- fornia, and Mr. Reagens, of Clinton, with whom he has made his home of late years. While always of a robust eonistitution, he hardly knew what sicknesswas until about six years ago, when an acut attack 'of bronchitis left him ailing. Th immediate _cause of death was the weak ction of the ' heart, caused by the breakint, 'up of his system. 1 Howiok.
