WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 231'(1, 189:-.
SOLID SENSE' IN VERSE.
Extract from a letter lately received
by one of our citizens from a one-time
Reformer
:—
some more our Dominion meat mourn a premier,
Yernot in despondency goon will,.ppear.t'
Any one of his colleagues eau garuiah the place
And wield the gold sceptre 1n wisdom and grace.
Sir Jphn, and Sir John and Air John may expire
But the torch ever g'o•ve with its own latent fire.
From the world's greatest dynamo, 'dent of the sea,"
All Britons are brothers, 'the brave and the free', a
Sir Richard has missed his vecatlon,'tie plain,
He should be a piper like good Allan Bain,
To chirp the some ditty vein and again, d
And ne'er be a booby en , reby and vain.
But the Grits, how they flounder and splatter and
whizz,
Cock a doodle, doodle do, what a laughable fizz!
Taxation and exodus. all thut they know,
Save a banker to take up their baggage and go,
To yoke with a nation of ewindlere and brags, '
Whose ster•epgngled Banner to falling t0 raga;
The Union's cohesion hi fact giving way,
And lynchers at ncontide are bearing the sway."
Canadian. wand pulp has succeeded in
gaining a foothold in England, and
some 30,000 tons have already been
sold in the British market. To' retain
its good name, the pulp must be .made
entirely of virgin wood.
It is reported that the Government
of Newfoundland is in correspondence
with the Canadian Government re
garding terms for Newfoundland's ad-
mission into the Canadian Confedera-
tion. The whole question, it is under-
stood, will be presented to the Colon-
ial Legislature this week. •The Gover-
nor is in constant cable communica-
tion with the Imperial authorities.
The Salvation Army is about to in-
vade Iceland, and the c'ointnanderof the
first corps is to go from Caanada. This
is Lieut. J. Davidson, a convert of the
Winnipeg Salvation Army, who has
completed his course at the training
home in Winnipeg, and will sail immed-
iately for Iceland, accompanied by a
few workers. He is a native of Iceland,
having left it for Canada several years
ago.
The price of wheat is affected to a
considerable extent by the increasing
shipments from Argentine. One pro-
vince—Santa Pe—which had 1,670,000
acres in wheat a year ago has 4,750,000
acres seeded down this year. This
formidable competition has evidently
come to stay and the days of dear
wheat, and large profits aro over. The
wheat raisers on this continent, like the
cotton growers of the South, will soon
have to face the question of a more
diversified agriculture.
Some years, ago a five-day passage
across the Atlantic was thought to be
madness. Now it is seriously proposed
to build ships that will do it in three
and one half days. Several shipowners
have said that the paying limit had
been reached in the Lucania and
Campania and no larger boats would
he built. Mr. Glynn, chairman of the
Liverpool Dock Board, replies that the
talk about the paying limit, ns exem-
plified by the Ctunpania and Lucania,
is ridiculous. Twenty years ego the
boats employed in the. Atlantic trade
were 220 feet long. Now they are 600,
When Sir John Thompson was being
smiled because he was a Roman
Catholic, L'Evenement laid down the
octrine that a public man should not
)e ostracised because of his religious
opinions. It repeats it now when Sir
Mackenzie Rowell is being attacked
because he is a pronounced Protestant.
L'Et'eneruent is a Conservative paper,
It defended Sir John Thompson against
the Liberal Witness; it defences Sir
Mackenzie Bowels against the Liberal
L'Electeur and the Liberal Patric:. It
represents the spirit of nationality and
toleration set against the spirit Of
bigotry and faction.
CURRENT TOPICS.
The Reformers of West Huron are
shaping themselves to give their solid
support to the Reform Patron nom-
inee, Mr. D. A. Forrester.
The London, Eng., Daily News re-
marks that M. Faure is the first Pro-
testant ruler of France, Henri IV having
turned before ascending the throne.
The South Huron protest and cross
petition are things of the past and Mr.
M. Y. McLean is the serene M. P. P.
The general impression was that the
protest would go to court.
Dominion voters' list court will be
held in Clinton on the 4th of February,
cornmerrcing at 9 o'clock in the morn-
ing. Every Conservative whose name
has been appealed against by the Re-
formers should not fail to put in a de-
fence. Particulars as to qualification,
etc., may be hod by calling at T1tE
NEWS -RECORD office.
When Sir OliverMowatsubmitted the
plebiscite on the prohibitionquestion to
the electors he knew he was "playing
cards" and that he would never be able
to comply with their demands. The
Supreme Court has said the Ontario
Government has no power to grant
prohibition, and, unless the higher
courts determ;ne otherwise, Sir Oliver
will sleep sound for many a night to
cornea.
Our esteemed friends, the Grits, are
busy these tine January days circulat-
ing the lying report that the Hon.
J. C. Patterson will not contest 'West
Huron. Would it not be a wise proce-
dure for our Grit friends to ascertain
just who their own candidate is likely
to he? Mr. Cafnei'on has not yet ac-
cepted the nomination of his party,
Mr. Forrester has accepted the Patron
nomination and he is a good enough
Grit to suit the majority of Reformers.
Dr. McDonald, the erratic M. P. for
East Huron, is endeavoring to "ic.ad
lip" the honest electors of that, Riding.
He is actually telling them that the
('anaditn Consefvative party is re-
sponsible for the American McKinley
Bill. We may next: expect to learn of
the Doctor declaring that the Con-
servative,part.vof Canada is responsible
for the election of M. Felix Faure to
the Presidency of the French Republic.
The electors of East Huron do not be-
lieve anything of the kind.
The indomitable editor of the Gode-
rich Signal received a thrashing on the
public street there one 'day last week.
It seems that the editor turned his
`gag linsrs" on I)eptrty Reeve Holt
in comparing hire with "Bill Postic'.
til waits.`," insinuating that the Deputy.
Reeve was not as popular as "Bill."
The "gag" was a very unhappy one
and Mr. Holt's friends were not sur-
prised at the pugilistic encounter be-
tween Daniel and Goliath of tnodern
times. Post lethwaitemetMcGillicuddy
on West Street and struck out in Sul-
livan style. The final result wase case
before the Police Magistrate, when Pos-
• tlethwaite was fined for licking the
editor and the latter severely lectured
for wantonly bringing the name of pri-
vate citizens into public ridicule.
Dishonest Apple Packers.
In a recent, number of the Canadian
Gazette, publishe.i in London, Eng,.
land, appears the following letter
from Professor Sheldon :
Sir—A week or two hack I bought a
barrel of Canadian russets, and bought
theist because they Were Canadian.
00 opening the barrel, at hone, I
found the cop Layer to consist of really
beautiful fruit, and the next one was
almost as good. But on going lower
1 found a very inferiar class, some of
which were unripe and immature,
whilst the bulk of there were spotted
with some kind of parasitic disease,
which, in each spot, penetrated about
a quater of an inch below the rind.
I was rnlrch disappointed for at Least
three-fourths'of the russets were al-
most worthless ; and I was painfully
surprised, for I had never entertained
the idea that any Canadian farmer
wombs be so far false to the high repu-
tation which his class have won as to
pack up a parcel of apples which ought
he thrower to the pigs,
It is most earnestly to be hoped that
this unto, whoever he is, enjoys the
distinction of being the only Hurn in
Canada who would, for a trifling pro-
fit to himself seek to do an injury to
the fame of Canadian apples. The act.,
which is one of great meanness, ought
to go home to roost, and the roosting -
place ile published. I write in the in-
terests of Canadian reputation, for
there is a traitor to it in the Dominion.
Your obedient servant,
J. P. SileLnox.
The Gazette explains that Professor
Sheldon, who is an agricultural ex-
pert, is a warns friend of Canada. It
will be observed that he had a geocl
opinion of Canadian apples, for he says
that he bought she russets because
they were Canadian, It is unfortunate
that his confidence in Canadian fruit
and the honesty of Canadian packers
should be shaken by the purchase of
the rubbish he describes. If Cana-
dian fruit growers are to have the
benefit of 1 he British market some
effort must be made to crush out the
dishonest packer. A few packages of
such rubbish as was purchased by Prof.
Sheldon are enough to destroy, in .Eng-
land, the good name of the entire
Canadian apple crop. Some 11100118
nnlst 18' ndt•ised to i,ut a stop to dis-
honesty in packing apples or the ft nit
growers of Canada will be heavy losers.
