glad that a negative decision was re-
corded. The sum and substance of
the arguments advanced was that, as
the people have to pay the salaries of
these offices, they should have a voice
in saying who should till them. This
may, at the first glaneo,look reasonable
enough, but when investigated it will
be found that the position is an unten-
able one. Here, for instance, is a
municipal council requiring the ser-
vices of a clerk. The council, without
consulting the people, secure the ser-
vices of one whom they think will per-
form the duties satisfactory. Why
did they not allow the people, who,
through taxation, pay for the clerk's
services, to make the selection ? Sim-
ply because the power had been dele-
gated to the council,, and also because
it is more convenient for them to make
the selection or appointment than it
would be for the people. The same
rule, to a certain extent, applies to
joefbioiis filled by7 overninentappoint=
ment. "There is alfiifet of necessity,
certain patronage that should be at
the disposal of every government. It
may be said that they will im-
properly use this, which may be true
Nevertheless, the injury to the com-
munity, if any, from this course, is less
than would be the case where every
position, great or small; ie filled by the
popular vote. Nearly everything is
now -a -days run on a political basis.
Liberals and Conservatives alike in-
dulge in it. Time was when it was
done "on the quiet." Now it is done
openly, neither side making any bones
about it. We do not say it is right,
for•wedo not believe that it is, but we
are speaking of a fact that is patent to
all. Imagine the result if all vacancies
in the public service were, therefore,
made elective. See how easily the
judiciary,; for instance, could bo in_
fluenced; or how a sheriff might be in-
duced to turn from the path of duty.
The result of the elective system, as
demonstrated in the neighboring Re-
public, is not satisfactory or re -as-
suring to our mind, and we prefer the
present method,with any disadvantages
which it may possess, to a system
which we feel satisfied is iufinitely
worse,

ther these things were so? And yet he
caunot even be asked a question with-
out descending to personalities! And
so it ever will be. The narrower the
creed, the narrower the believer, and
the less open to reason. The brethren
who hold Mr Tedford's somewhat illo-
gical and narrow views, have been
known ever since their inception as
1 Plymouth Brethren, whether they carne
from Brantford, Clinton, or Japan, and
presumably until they disappear, or
are merged into some other union of
Christian■,will be known by that name.
All other than Plymouth Brethren are
blamed because they are supposed not
to be acting exactly as disciples in
primitive times. Does Mr Tedford's
little band do so ? We read, "And all
that believed were together, and had all
things common." Why do not the
Plymouth Brethren do so? Because
times have changed, and they cannot.
Is it not possible that in other things
times have changed, and that the simple
word "Brethren" is not sufficient to-
day to distinguish intelligibly amongst
the largo number of Christians. If Mr
Tedford is so concise about Scriptural
terms, by what authority does he select
"Brethren" ? We read the disciples
were first called Christians at Antioch.
Mark you, Christians, not Brethren.
Is not "Christians' just as scriptural
as "Brethren"? And I might add, for
these days, just as vague. Let us be
thankful, however, that in one sense all
are brethren. Let us seek less after
doctrines, talk less of beliefs, write less
about the hair splitting of terms and
-distinetione -which allure -to perish, and -
in their stead endeavor to do something
that will show to observers we are try-
ing (probably very feebly) to do His
will. How immense is the love of God,
and how miserably do we poor mortals
try) to limit it. To quote from Drum-
mond, "The words which all of us shall
one day hear,sound not of theology but
of life, not of churches and saints, but
of the hungry and the poor; not of
creeds and doctrines, but of shelter and
clothing; not of Bibles and prayer books,
but of cups of cold water in the name
of Christ." Thank God the Christiani-
ty of to -day is coming nearer the world's
need. Live to help that on. Thank
God men know better by a hair's
breadth, what religion is, what God is,
who Christ is, where Christ is. Who
is Christ? He who fed the hungry,
clothed the naked, visited the sick.—
And where is Christ? Where? Whose
shall receive a little child in my name
receiveth me. And who are Christ's?
Every one that loveth me is born of
God." Let us call ourselves what we
like, but let us strive after a common

terest of all concerned, Yet the fact that Canadians should be satisfied to
pay eight cents a pound for sugar
which can be purchased in the United
States fur five cents a pound, in
order that the members of the sugar
combine may be able to build million
dollar palaces and purchase estates
in England. Even the followers of
the government admit that the pres-
eut burden of taxation is outrageous,
but the combiuesters are masters of
the situation, and Sir John Macdon-
ald is afraid to touch his tariff edifice
lest it should collapse completely and
bury his ministry in the ruins.
But ' the desire of ministers fur "a
short quiet session" is nut likely to be
gratified. Stredgthened and encour-
aged as they have been by the recent
election, and feeling that they are
fighting for the people's cause, the
Reformers in parliament can be
trusted to fully ventilate every sub-
ject in which the taxpayers of the
country are interested. The session
may last four months. It is nearly a
year since parliament was prorogued,
so that there will hese year's accumu-
lation of business t'b dispose of. Mr
McCarthy proposee to renew his
attack upon his, dual language -and
separateschool systems of. -the North..
a public policy to grant it. west Territories, and the discussion
upon his propositions is likely to be
long and bitter. Sir John Thompson
has promised that the McGreevy-
Tarte-Langevin scandal shall be re-
ferred to the committee on privileges
and elections, and the Liberals will
fight for a thorough investigation.
Having broken faith with the Liber-
als in the matter of the revision of
the electoral lists Sir John Macdonald
and his colleagues have no right
to expect any consideration at the
hands of their opponents now, and
Sir Hector and Mr McGreevy will
receive just the same treatment as
was accorded Mr Rykert last session.
If the charges preferred against them
by Mr Tarte are established—and
some- of them are admitted --mock
appeals for sympathy will avail
nothing.
And the Government will have to
grapple with the Manitoba schools
question. though they have voted
two Manitoba Acts at the demaud of
wealthy speculative corporatione,
they have paid no attention to the
appeals of the French Canadian and
Catholic miinority for the disallowance
or the bill abolishing the Separate
school system in 'that province. The
ministers have promised to grant
money to pay the expense of testing
the constitutionality of the acts in
the question, and Mr. Dalton McCar-
thy announces that he will do his
utmost to prevent fulfilment .of that
promise. It will be interesting t)
watch the backing and filling of the
ministerial leaders with respect to
that subject. The tariff question will
will remain that a good many, even
among Liberals, would have preferred
to see a change. It is said in justifica-
tion of the fee system, that some of the
Dominion Government employees are
paid by fees, which is unquestionably
true, but this iti'itself, is not a factor
in the argument. Tho action of a gov-
ernment does not make any particular
course right. The course may be ex.
pedient, and best for the time, but
subscquent events may call for a
change.
The fee queation is not a very griev-
ions one, because the sum total involved
is not large,but the principle concerned
is what has generated the discussion.
We may be wrong in our belief, but we
are of the opinion that it will not be
very long in the future before the fee
system will be abolished. There are
doubtless difficulties to be overcome
in the question of salaries andoxpenses,
-but- if the people ara desirous for a
change,-the.G.overnmsnt will find ..that
it is
Once For All.
We are frequently asked why we
do not sometimes reply to our town
cotem, in kind, and in answer to its
mean personal attacks, tell its chief
editor a few truths, which, though
well known, might possibly lead him
to act somewhat more decently.
'Take for example the statements
made in its references this week to
the libel case of Beatty v Holmes.
Anyone reading them would con-
clude that the statements complain-
ed of were magi by us personally,
whilst the fact is, as was well known
.to -the News Record and others, that
those statements were contained in a
letter written to this paper and
vouched for by good authority; as a
matter
t'r of fact
these statements me❑is were
vouched tor by men politically op-
posed to the NEW ERA, but whose
word our cotem, as any one else,
would unhes?tatingly accept. The
Editor of the News Rtcord knew the
truth, but as usual, preferred a lie°.
Upon that lie be proceeds in his
usual Billingsgate fashion to expresss
himself. What kind of a heart and
brain a man can have who can write
as he does, we must leave to conjec-
ture, Words that would be proper to
qualify them we do not care to print.
Once for all we wish to say to those
who mention the matter to us that
we have no der`.re to cope lvith our
coteru in literary filth. No one can
touch pitch without being soiled. No-
thing is easier than t') string together
a lot of vile words, but the intelli-
gent public know their worthlesswess.

visitor in eyery home, We shall
leave the

prave minds, and of filling its

perso attacks to those to whom
such work is congenial.
The Canadian mails for Europe now
go via New York, the contract with the
Allans' having expired. The sending
of them via New York may be the best
arrangement that can be made, but just

been raised had a Liberal government
transferred the mail to an American
company.
Cheek and Mendacity.
We are iu receipt of several com-
munications since last week's issue,
concerning the article we then refer-
red to and copied from the News -
Record, and also in regard to the
recent election, and the reasons for
the overwhelming Conservative de-
rsat in West Huron. Some of these
letter are iudicative ui a "family
quarrel" amongst our Conservative
friends, and though accompanied by
the writers' names, we do not see that
any good purpose would be served by
their publication. Some of these
writers declare that a number of very
prominent Conservatives, whilet os-
tensibly siding with Mr Porter, were
really working for Mr Cameron.—
This we do not believe. Others
blame the organization, and others
again blame "the disgraceful and
untruthful advocacy" of the Conser-
vative local press. The writers ap-
pear to state every reason but the
true one. Mr Cameron's big majority
was clue to the party's platform of
free trade and honest government.
In reply to our article of last week
our local cotcm gives this explanation
of its malicious and contemptible re-
marks troncerning the visit of Hon.
G. W. Ross during the last election:

remark arose in this way. After the
meeting a number of men were talking
outside the hall on the many misstate-
ments made by Mr Ross. One said
his talk about Canadians getting ten
cents less a dozen for their eggs on ac -
court lof the McKilney bill was all
"rot." They were a mixed crowd, and
one man spoke up, presumably a Re-
former, so our informant is of the opin-
iou, and said, "I suppose you Tories
would like to rotten egg him, " Mr
Ross,"as you have done others." Our
informant paid no attention to who
the speakers were, but the tenor of the
rotten egg remark indicates it came
from a Grit,"
There is no similarity between the
two statemen'4. No Conservative

In the appointment of Mr Watt, late

Government has secured an excellent
official, and at the same time done
justly to a gentleman, who has earned
his distinction. The Grit editors of

tion to say that there are several

might be at the disposal of the Ontario

I have noticed at some of the rural
Canadians living along the interna-
tional boundary line are receiving
some valuable object lessons with re-
gard to the working of the trade re-
striction system. While the Can-
adian farmer receives a great deal less
than his American neighbor does for
agricultural products he is obliged to
pay higher prices than his neighbor
for such goods as he has to purchase.

fifty cents per bushel in Sarnia, while

that we can expect good, well formed

call themselves Christians,that it would
be advisable for Christians to frequent
the theatre, that the character of the
drama might to raised. The sugges-

its aroma. If the church is to imitate
the world in order to raise its tone,
things have•strangely altered since the
day when our Lord said "Come ye out
from among them, and touch not the
unclean thing." Is heaven to descend
to the infernal lake to raise its tone ?
