APRIL 20th, 1800. WEST HURON. ' Now that the elections are on a Con- servative Convention for West Huron is in order. A candidate shoulu, as soon as possible, he placed in the field and our organization completed. There'is no time to lose. There will be at lenst two candidates in the field -- Grit and Tory—and there is a possi- bility of one or two more on side issues. The National Paiiisperity of our Coun- try must be ' guarded and preserved and must he the first consideration. The National Policy and the hest in- terests of the Fanner, the Manufactur- er, the Artisan and the Laborer must be sustained, and the Conservative Party only may be depended upon to do it. In the meantime organization must be completed and our friends work to the finish. There is victory for the Conservative Party, but it is an easy matter to bring defeat through over- confidence. We warn Conservatives to buckle on their armour, be united and stand by their guns until the last vote is polled on the 23rd of June. If this advice is followed victory will shine on their banners and the masses vtill be saved ap least five years distress and poverty. AOAIN, THE TOWN TREASURER- SHIP. The New Era, whose editor is the Mayor of Clinton, has a very peculiar method of explaining his position and action in appointing a new treasurer for the towu of Clinton. Our contem- porpary admits frankly that "the mat- ter has given rise to considerable feel- ing," but as a trusted public servant the Mayor says he is "not at liberty to go into all the 1letails," adding that "a knowledge of all the circumstances by the public alight place him (the Mayor) in a different light in sorne respects." Although the Mayor acknowledges that he is in possession of the key to the secret, he refuses to unlock the chamber and allow the electors, his masters, to know the particulars of an important public matter that every elector in Clinton is interested in, and says it is not his fault that the public did not Know what was going on. This cannot be true. The Mayor is the head of the Council and a special meet- ing must be called by his order. A special meeting must, as we under- stand the law. be called to transact some particular business or such a meeting would not be called. From what has taken place we must infer the meeting was called to ACCEPT the re- signation and APPOINT a new Treasur- er, although the Mayor says that sonic of the Councillors did not know the object of the meeting, but declares emphatically that he has for years been in favor of amalgamating the positions of Clerk and Treasurer. This, then, was a chance of a lifetime and be deliberately took advantage of it and by his vote amalgamated the positions. To prove that he did not introduce straight politics he cites the fact that all the Councillors yoted before he did. The vote stood five Reformers to five Conservatives. The casting vote was Reform and went Reform. According- ly five Reformers introduced politics and the Mayor followed suit! What is the difference ? Such glaringly ack- nowledged lame defence ulatces our contention all the stronger. The five Councillors introduced politics, accord- ing to the New Era, and the Mayor stood by party on the casting vote. , is this not plain ? But our totem. says :—"The ljiayor had nothing whatever to do with the motion appointing Mr. Coats." This statement rs misleading in the extreme. While the Mayur may have had noth- ing to do with the motion he had every- thing to do with the appointment. He really made the appointment, because his vote decided the fate of the applic- ants. Is this nut also plain ? Listen again to our totem's wearied plaint "Two years ago, when a good Grit (which means there must he bad Grits) applied for the position of weighrnats- ter•, etc., the Mayor spok'e and voted in favor of the present efficient incum- bent, Mr, Welsh, who certainly has never been regarded as a Grit. The fact that the assessor, constable and weigh -clerk are Conservatives should of itself he a refutation of the charge that the Grits will have no one as a servant of the people who is not a Grit." This is also very misleading. Be- cause the weigh -master and con- stable are recoganized as Conservat ives and were appointed to these positions long before the present Mayor was a member of the Council, then he deser- ves credit because these well qualified and faithful servants have not been turned out because they are Conserva- tives. Such rot I The electors of Clin- ton, unless we are greatly mistaken, would not tolerate such Yankee ideas of justice. If such an argument. were put forth on the opposite side we might say were it not for Conserva- tives other officers might not occupy their . position. The New Era, a few years ago, when Peter Cantelon applied for the Clerkship, howled itself hoarse about the Tories trying to place such a man in the position, while a Conservative vote elected the present Grit Clerk over a Mr. Cantelon. To -day the New Era takes credit, for nom- inating the sante defeated applicant for one of the Auditors. FIG wgrateful I Knock hien down, like the Irishman, and when he has gained consciousness pick him up and administer a quack pill to enervate his shattered nerves. As to the Assessor being a Cnnservat- tive the statement is not true, and the gentlemen who has filled that position has not, made any bones about it. The GritCouncil of Clin- ton made a vote for their party in this case and we know whereof we speak. The contest for the position, as the people are aware, was between the late E. Corbett and the present as- sessor and the latter (although former- ly a Conservative) has voted the Grit ticket at several elections since and has stated to the writorand others that this was the cause. There is no use in mincing matters when the New Era gives the public false impression. What THE NEWS-RJ'J'CORn charged was that the Mayor and Council nude the appointment of a Town Treasurer a political con ideration. We repeat the charge, and at the same time re- gretthab such is the case. Further, we contend that the special meeting of the Council was unduly secret and the appointment not made In a busi- ness way. The calling ofathe• meeting and the procedure has been irregular and unworthy the representatives of any corporation. And to cap the climax we have our totem's word for it that the Mayor assisted the Grit Couneillore In introducing politics Into municipal tnatters. ..e CANADA'S DAIRY INDUSTRY. The United States Department of Agriculture, iri a l'ecently published official report testifies to the efficiency of the Canadian dairy industry as follows: "The (United States) dairy industry should receive irmnediate attention, and efforts should be made to improve its condition, by collecting and dis- tributing information on its subjects and in that Manner educating our dairymen. The results obtained in Canada in this direction are very in- teresting and instructive. It is not many years since cheese from the Unitad States was preferred in London markets to Canadian cheese, and brought a higher price. The Canadian Government, however, began a system- atic effort to educate the dairymen of that country. Printed information was distributed; practical men were sent to demonst rate improved methods, and the importance of making a higher grade of products• was constantly taught. The result of these systematic and presistent efforts have wrought such great improvement, that Canada- ian cheese is now preferred in London markets to that of the United States. The Canadians have enlarged their foreign market and secured better prices for their products. CURRENT TOPICS. Str Donal3 Smith has been appoint- ed High Commissiouer to England and has accepted. Mr. Laurier had a splendid oppor- tunity in the House a few days ago to set himself right on the charge that in a speech at Chicoutimi he had made use of the expression "I thank God that there are no Orangemen amongst us (the Liberals.)" When asked by Mr. Foster to say once for all if he had made use of the expression he replied : "If the Minister of Finance thinks he can draw me he is much_mistaken. I decline to be held responsible for newspaper reports." This answer it characteristic of Mr. Laurier. It may he politic but it is certainly not honest. He evidently wished it to be under- stood in Quebec that he did make use of the expression while his henchmen in Ontario can deny it if they think it will help him and they can find Orange- men gullible enough to take their word for it. Notwithstanding reports to the con- trary, THE NEWB-RECORD desit es to say it is not true that Mr. Win. Jack- son intends to apply for the position of bell ringer, and that Mayor Holmes has solemnly promised to support his application. It is not true that Laur- ier's celebrated exclamation, "Thank God there are no Orangemen among ns, the Liberals!" was copied from the former pious expression of the Clinton Town Council, "Thank God there are no Tories amongst us except and he is no good any way 1" It is not true that Mr. John Itansford and Dr. Free- born, Presidents of the L. C. A's, have been notified that no Tory need apply for any office in Clinton other than that of poured -keeper or town scavatn• ger, that the Grits own Clinton and all its offices, or that Tories are to take notice and govern themselves accord- ingly. All these statements are abso- lutely without, foundation, and such baseless c•hrtrges should not he allowed to hang over such a liberal govern- ment as the town of Clinton possesses 1 Land Valves Under Free Trade. Editor Neons-Rerord. SIR,—How ever unpleasant it rnav he to the members of the Reform Party, who have to carry the burden at the corning election of W. Laurier, stating that so faros his present, inclina- tions go, he personally is in favor of Free Trade as it is in England (I !) I will thank you to publish a late return just to hand of land values as they arc in England. From statistics very recent- ly laid before parliament it is shown that the r eduction in the valve of agricultural land in several cour.ties during the last fourteen years has been about one third, in some more, in two unions as much as 44 per cent. For instance by counties t.he,lecline is : Essex, 89%; Suffolk, 38; Wilts, 35; Iluntingdon, 33; Berkshire, 32; Norfolk, 31; Oxford, 31; Cambridge, 30; and in two unions of Essex the decline was 44%. Now I ask any intelligent farmer to divest himself of party bias and con- sider whether it is worth while to commit his interests to rt band of men who, can only offer, as at trump card, as a glaring roseate colored election campaign poster. a policy that where it has heen tr ied for years upon years gni find that never were agricultural interests more depressed, and land yaluea have shrunk one third. Why cannot the Liberal Party adopt a platform that will appeal to the com- mon sense of the community? Why suggest the fire to it man, it you think he is already dancing on a frying pan? The real truth Is that that what the Lif,erals want, and they want it badly, is Of lee 1 They have been out in the cold for 18 long, weary, hungry years.

REDUCTION OF TA X AIION. It has always been one of the first principles of the advocates of the Na- tional Policy to remove the taxation, as much as possible, from all articles that cannot he produced in Canada. Accordingly, in 1882, the Liberal -Con- servative Government struck off entire- ly the duties on tea, coffee and tin ; and from that period to the present time there has thus been saved to the peo- ple on these articles alone the follow- ing amounts : On Tea $11,024,035) On Coffee 832,528 On Tin .. 1,465,103 $13,321,670 Every dollar of this amount has gone into the pockets of the great mass of the consumers of this country. Hamilton -'Specs." If Mr. Laurier runs in Sasketchewatn he will no doubt substitute an air -gun for that musket of his. Mr. Laurier may well be pleased and proud over the fact that Sir Oliver Mowat is taking hint into his serious consideration. The voluble gentleman from Quebec is so little accustomed to be taken seriously. "Let us have Laurier and free trade as they have it in England," cries the Stratford Beacon. The Beacon is one of the few Grit papers who has the courage to openly confess the Grit policy these days. Na' Jim Lister said at Montreal lost (Fri - clay) night: "In Ontario we are as true to our leader as you in Qalebec are." Jimmy might have truthfully added : "Our leader proposes to reduce the duty on coal oil, and I propose to pre- vent him from doing it." Hon. Mr. Hau•ronirt sat on the plat- form at Lauriec's Montreal meeting last Friday evening, and Mr. Laurier stated that he was there "as the repre- sentative of the government of Sir Oliver Mowat, the champion of the Catholic minority of Ontario." Sir Oliver's government.is evidently going to make itself felt during the cam- paign. Uncle Jimmie McShane threatened the Dominion government with the displeasure of Montreal electors if it did not come down immediately with halt a million dollars of cold cash in aid of Montreal's attempt at an in- ternational show. Uncle Jimmie is• unable to perceive that his threat is equivalent to ars attempt to coerce the government into bribing the Montreal electorate. The New County Council Dis- tricts. An order in council has been passed by the Ontario Government appointing several county court jndi,es to divide the )present counties into county coun- cil districts, under section 28 of "The act to reduce the number of county councillors," passed at the recent ses- sion of the Legislature. This division is required by the act to he made be- tween the 15th of May and the 15th pf October next. The order in council ,herefore naives the following judges as commissioners for the purpose: Judge Jones of Brant, Judge Wilkin- son, of Lennox, Judge Bell, of Kent, Judge Dean, of Victoria, J udge Senkler, of Lanark, Judge Creosol., of Grey, Judge Benson, of Northumberland and Durham, Judge Horne, of Essex, Judge O'Brian, of Prescott and Russell and Judge Doyle, of Huron.

A correspondent of the Grey Re- view gives the following epitome of the new county councils hill. The leading points are clearly stated and are easy to he understood:—When the present councils cease to exist the County Councils of this Province shall thereafter consist of from 8 to 18 members according to population, each county to be divided by a com- mission of judges into divisions each to elect 2 members, they to hold office for two years.
