Last week our exceedingly clever coutemporary of the Goderich Stur, . whose cleverness seems only to be . exceeded by his stupidity, again rolls under his tongue the sweet morsel of distortion which he de- livered himself of the previous week iu rcferencs to au extract he re- produced from TUE NEws IIECORD. \Ve said last week : "\VE STAND BY TUE EXTRACT THE Star TAXES EX- CEPTION TO, WIIETIIEIt IT B14 TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITII TILE WHOLE ARTICLE FROM IT 15 INVIDIOUSLY SEPARATED, OR EVEN IN ITS IDSOLAT- ED FORM." We are pleased to find that the Star says he will accept this as an apology, for it will give our readers Irn insight into the acumen or otllerwis2of our critic. The Star evidently does not appreciate Tare 'NEWS REooiu. Well, he is haore to bo pitied than blamed; •\Ve are not particularly .anxious to please any editor. We write for the in- telligent public, the mass of the people, and we aro happy in the thought anal knowledge that they are satisfied with our efforts, the proof of which we have in the personal eneouragotnentor patronage of the great majority of the Con- servative party.. If the Star ;man would be sure of his facts before he challenges the unimpeachable state- ments of others he would not so often find bitneelf in the wrong. Our editorials, to which the Star tfrkes 'axe arida), aro endoreedby the rank and file of the .party, if not by "kid -glove would-be boese s." TILE DOMINION CABINET.

Mr. Ouimet who is at present a mem- ber of parliament, and Hon. J. C. 1'attereon who was defeated at last general elections and is now with- out a seat. He is a native of Armagh, Irelan ,, a barrister by profession and a gentleman general. ly well spoken of. He was elected to parliament for North Essex in 1878, in 1882 and in 1837. Ho n. David Mills, who is desk -mate in the House of Gammon a with his leader Laurier says of Mr. Patterson : "rhe elevation of Mr. Patterson will not be condemned by the Opposi- tion. Certain of his actions in Perlia- ment and especially his opposition to the Government in the Queen's elec- tion case were such as to show that he was cleaner than his associates. But he would have been Postmaster General instead of Secretary of State it he hail been lees independent and more unscrupulous. It i'a more like- ly that 'his connection. with the Government will drag him• down than that his good qualities will raise the Government up." Though this is not unqualified praise it way be considered com- plimeutary coming..as it does flour so uncompromising a Grit partisan as Hon. David Mills. EDITORIAL NOTES. Spurgeon, the great English prea- cher, died last Sunday. He was 58 years of age and preached his first sermon at the age of 16. 0, purity, what crimes have been committed in thy name ! 13un- servatives have been unseated by the courts since last general election and 24 Reformers; for corrupt prac- tices. The good work goes on. Satur- day Hon. Mr. Ouimet, the new Minister of Public Works, was elec- ted by acclamation and Dickey (Cons) was re-elected by about 1,- 100 majority. They have a People's party in_ the United States. One of the main planks is the loaning by the govern- ment of money to farmers at 2 per cent. This would be vicious class legislation. If a government loans money to one class of people at low rate of nterest it should treat other classes similarly, the.;seS,u„rijtyj -.Q1,I, cases being equal. There were received at Chicago during 1891 equal to 2,819,189 head of cattle, the average weight of which was 1040 lbs. The average val- ue was $41 per head or as near as may be $4 per hundred: The ex- ports from Chicago were equal to 1,095,586 head. There would not esteem to be either better prices or greater demand for Canadian cattle across the lines even had we free trade. - The Grit -St. Catharines Journal wants the duty taken off coal, in order to allow "the farmer to have free coal to run his farm engines for threshing and other purposes." In the samo line of argument, it might be- a good scheme to admit manu- factured Carrara marble Free, in order that the farmers of the 17th concession of Nottawasaga may have Italian stntutettes for hitching posts. The farmers use these to about the same extent that they do coal for threshing. The Goderich Star is kind enough to say : "We are quite willing to admit as our candid opinion that Mr. Cameron himsoif, if not his heelers, has quite eaidned all the punishment which the •law pre, scribes for political offenders and —for some others," THE NEws- RECr-nD did not go so far as that. It did say that Cameron and his heelers had earned punishment; but it merely said, voicing the opinion of many Conservatives, that' it was a question if those "some othere" were not amenable to punishment for their leniency. EDITORIAL NOTES. The writer of the Goderich Star wakes a personal attack upon the editor of this paper and says this is discussing polities. The save writer lave duwn false premises and deduces therefrom false conclusions and accounts for his untenable poli• tion by saying he does not deal in history. Go on, dear boy, in deal - lug in fiction and ignoring history and facts. , For a paper that objects •to any reference to ancient history, the Goderich Star is peculiarly un• fortunate. Take any issue of the Star and compete its editorial page wi th that of the NEWS -RECORD and we are willing to abide by the result as to which deals more with the living issues of the day and the county. Go to, Mr. Star, go to. If you are not voluble, you are at least bump- tious. Hon. J. D,t•yden, Mr. Mowat's Minister of Agriculture, is a, farmer. In a recent epO"ech he said that we cannot got free trade with the Un- ited States, till ethat country is ready .for it. I-10 further said that almost everything we produce (our beef, barley, rye, buckwheat, wheat, apples, eggs, poultry, etc.), went to theoEnglish market, where there is an unlimited demand, and we should study that market. AIr. Dryden was then talking to farmers, and not for political effect. Tho nascent Munchausen of the Goderich Star lays his ears back and brays out in his last week's issue ; "Our voluble and bumptious con49.11)0.01'374:.4€.1h,e.,G,liAton,.Nsrvss RECORD, this week devotes almost its entire editorial page to an effort .1,o rise and explain." There srd about 70 inches, single column measure, of reading matter on ou-r editorial page. We devoted 5 inches of that space last week to what our contemporary is pleased to term "explaining." If all the Starr statements are only to be relied on in the ratio of 5 to 70, he is not a very reliable newspaper man. Only one -fourteenth of fact is a mighty poor showing, When he leaves himself so open to the critic- ism of hie party friends, what may we expect of his' treatment by political opponents. Invidious comparison is often made between the greater increase in the growth of the towns and cities in Canada as compared with the lesser increase of population in agricultural section.. The growth of manufactures and towns are the ef- fects of the prosperity of the agricul- tural sections. The manufacture of farm and other labor saving imple• mente is one of the leading factors in building up towns and cities, and those factories while they lessen the number of laborers required on farms also lesson the expense of running the farms, and also tend to enhance the value of farm products by affording employment for a Large number of people who are coneutn ere while non -producer's of them. The bigger the cities and towns and the more of them we have the bet• ter is it for the farmer's. Protec- tion affords employment for people in our own country instead of in a foreign country. EDITORIAL NOTES. For the twelve weeks comment. ing July lat last thele were sold in Loudon, England, 66,723 head of live cattle. Of these 40,289 came from the United States and 5,716 from Canada. In spite of the large number sent (ram the States, the shipments from Canada were great• er in proportion to the population of the two countries. The figures also show that, Great Britain is the natural market for the surplus cattle of this continent. Ao l yet sante people are so foolish as to argue in the face of such olf',ial returns that the United States is the natural market for Canadian farm serpl ue piodUCts on account of its near'n a 69• But the Americans do not find that distance impairs the profits of the trade. The average price in Lon- don for Canadian and Anierican cattle was $13.50 per cwt dressed weight and $8 per cwt live weight. • LIVING ISSUES. To TILE EDITOR.•.-Ilavinc been a con- stant, reader of your valuable paper•, for many years, I have been moved on several occasions to address you a few lines of approval ofyour nmsnnge- ment of your paper, but 1 want to say that 1 am so highly pleased with your recent editorials, especially on political questions, that I take this opportunity, by way of encourage- ment, to express my belief that you strike to the center the hearts of the masses of the Conservative party, and I only wisli that every Conseyvative, and Reformer as well, had the cons stant reading of your valuable paper, But I write now to say that I was especially struck with the good sense and the soul of the literal truth in your editorials of the last few weeks on Conservative conventions, which, in my humble belief, if the advice there given be followed "with an honest purpose, good and true," there is no doubt in my mind but that we willhave a sweeping victory in the coming bye -election in West Huron. But I very much fear that too many of the people's representatives at the convention will be in the interest of a ring candidate and not in the in. terest of the whore party and the people. I think I speak the feeling of the masses when I say you have toughed the living issues we have to contend for. Among them British sonnet: tion, adequate protection to all classes, no discriminlition against the mother country, the support of Premier Abbott and Sir John now; son in their onslaught on boodling and corruption whether in high of low places. With these issues and a man of the people, known to the people as an honest, common sense man, as a candidate we will get the greatest strength of the party and the best assurance of success. I must admonish our people against having their better judgment obfuscated by the glamor of a possible candidate of ''ability" but who -is not in touch with the feelings, sympathies and interests of the people of West Huron. The workins class, the in- dustrial manual laboring class is the most numerous and it appears to me that you are right in advocating one of this,class as a candidate. In the name of patriotism, in the name of the party, in the name of the in- dustrial classes whose well being is that of the professional classes as well, I hope the Conservative cons vention will bring out an honest - handed son of toil from among our own people. Yours, LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE. —Rev. 1'. A. Wright, of Corrie, has been invited to be rector of St. Jude's Church, Brantford. There is every prospect of the change be- ing made. —Mr. \Villianl HcHenry, a traveling salesman from Cleveland,. last week received four telegrams in close succession, each announcing the death of a brother. They were children from 3 to 12 years old and died within an hour of each other of diptheria. At this time of the year it is hard for us to interest the readers by talking. any particular line of goods, as you don't house -clean and paper in the winter, neither do"you care about changing your window shades; you are not preparing Xmas pre- sents or commencing new books, in fact almost every- thing is out of season. Were you one of the for- tunate ones to secure Berlin VV ools and Yarns so cheap ? If you were we appreci- ate it as much as you do yourself, for our desires have been gratified •exactly and we have now an un- loaded stock. - To assist us in refreshing trade for February we in- tend to look through our stock and sell off a number of Odd Window Shades that we are not re -ordering, The Shades are first-class while the Springs are good, so any one needing one, two or three of a kind will do well to look them over.

While engaged in working under the fire box of an engine ire accidentally turned a steam tap, and was fearfully scald- ed by escape of steam before he could be extracted. - —The returns issued by the Board of Trade for the month of December show that the imports in- creased £3„830,000 and the exs ports decreased £1,540,000 as com- pared with those for the correspond- ing. month of 1890. A review of British trade for the past year shows heavy increases in the imports of food and raw material- The heaviest proportionifte decrease in the exports affected metals and metallic goods. Textile fabries and worsted especially suffered from the new American tariff. The exporta- tion of imported merchandise also shows a decrease.
