DISMISSALS FROM OFFICE.
The Toronto World voices what
THE NEWS -RECORD said a couple of
weeks ago when it says
"Mr. Laurier is reported to have re-
plied to an enquiry from the Maritime
Provinces, that while civil savants as
a class need not fear for their positions,
he 'would not like to say so much for
offensive partisans.' Does this pies -
age removals from office on a large
scale. The term offensive partisan
is defined pretty much according to
the disposition of the person who starts
nut to define it. Every rnan appointed
..o office by a certain Government is
lore or less fearless in his partiality
or that Governunent. This is neither
. Tory nor a Grit doctrine. It is one
that is acted upon, according to the
taste of the individual civil servant,
all over Canada. It tnight be well if
civil servants abstained from political
work, or it might not. We are not
discussing thatspoint and neither is
Mr. Laurier. It is a fact and not a
theory he has to deal with, and the
question arises, what construction the
new rulers are going to place on the
term offensive partisanship. Take On-
tario, for example. Provincial offi-
cials are numerous, and they have
nearly all been Appointed bythe long -
existing Liberal Adniinistration. They
work like beavers for their party in
'and out of season. The Ontario offi-
cials who abstain from party politics
could all he comfortably placed in a
single street car. Does anyone, with
the well-being of our political system
at heart, look with complacency to a
time when a change of government in
this provinct would see wholesale dis-
missals frqm office and the places filled
by partisans of the new Ministry?
Yet it is exactly on this point which
the Laurier Government must, soon
create a precedent. We are curious to
see what they will do."

UURRENT TOPICS.
The Toronto Globe, which opposed
the fast Atlantic steamers proposition
when that was a " Tory fad," is now
making the curve, to he ready to sup-
port Mr. Lanrier when he announces
the scheme in parliament as a great
Liberal step in advance.
Since Clarke Wallace has taken
the stump in North Grey in favor.of
the Conservative candidate, the Globe
says he received so many Reform
votes in his own Riding that ho now
has a "swelled head." The Globe feels
sore because Mr. Wallace did not FO
body and bones with the Laurier
party..
The Globe howl e about "no coercion
under Laurier," but fails to tell us
definitely how the burning question is
to he settled.
According to yesterday's papers
Hon. W. D. Balfour, Ontario's new
provincial secretary, is dyiug from
pulmonary trouble.
•
Tarte, Latirier's right hand bower, is
dismissing dollar -a -day men by the
hundred, while he retains and increaaes
the big -salary chaps. This is economy
with a vengeance 1
The "hat d times" cry on the part of
the Grits has ceased. The Tories are
looking for the "better times" pr.oinis-
ed— and they may continue to look
without reward. Times will he worse
instead of better. Wait and see.
The Goderich Town Council erects a
bathing house and advertises it, as an
attraction for visitors, hut refuses to
provide deluded outsiders with a
decent walk to reach it, an expendi-
ture which would cost. the Big Town
THIRTY DOLLARS!
The cloudburst at Barrie on Sunday
is a novelty as far as Canada is con-
cerned. Since the Grits had pre-
viously taken credit for the many
good things Providence had and was
doing. it is only natural to surmise
that they will also be responsible for
Barrie's.desolation and great loss.
The Reeve of Brussels does contract
work for the municipality he repre-
sents and violates his oath' of office.
The Herald is right in taking him to
task and would he justified in unseat-
ing him. In Clinton Mayor Holmes
voluntarily admits that the oath of
office prohibits him from doing the
work the Post performs.
Since the local Grit press—or at
least a portion of it—condcne the un-
warranted dismissal of Dr. Blackall,
'ay the Grit Government, from the
position of Veterinary Inspector for
West Huron—and claim that the
whole system is to be abolished—it
might be just as well for thesesame
papers to explain how it is that gritty
Dr. Howson of Auburn is an applicant
for Dr. Blackall's position.
The Hensall Observer charges THE
NEWS -RECORD with being clothed in
an "Orange" summer shirt, "as it
keeps out the heat and protects from
the cold." The charge must be laid to
Oapt. Babb, of Goderich, who supplied
us with a bathing suit there the other
day. And the Goderich Council
will surely at some future time have
many sins to answer for in compelling
visitors to sweat before and after they
have been cooled off. The sand and
desert walks of ancient Egypt should
not be duplicated in a town like Gode-
rich. The Observer Might explain as
'to whether Huron's County Town
Council objects to the color of bathing
suits, or whether that body should
compel a visitor to bathe in a suit
warranted to keep out the heat and the
cold, and compel tourists td take a
fatigue desert walk to reach a
worthy summer attraction they ad-
vertise. •
While professing to be devoid of
special information on the subject, the
Globe undertakes to sats explicitly
what is to be the policy of the Gov-
ernment in regard to the constitution
of constituencies and the making of
voters' lists. Asked as to its authority
for the statement, the Globe takes
shelter behind the platform utter-
ances of the Grit, orators, and says
that the policy there outlined will be
carried out, because the Government is
pledged thereto. Very well, then.
Are the Government not equally
pledged to its orators' plat form utter-
ances regarding the Naticnal Policy?
If so cannot, the Globe state explicitly
what i to be the trade policy of the
Government—wherein the tariff is to
be honored and in what particulars it
is to be abolished ? If the Globe can,
from the platform utterances of Grit
orators, predicate the policy of the
Government on two points, why can it,
not do so off more ?
The Bruce Herald voices the past
utterances of THE NEWS -RECORD when
it 'says :---" The next political battle
will he a provincial one and already it
is admitted that, the, prospect before
the Conservatives is very bright. In
two nut of the last three local elec-
tions theConser waives polled a clear
majority of the votes cast but owing to
the Reform gerrymander their oppon-
ents have a majority of the seats.
Then the Patron movement, thanks to
wire pullers of the Mallory stripe, was
worked to the injury of the Conserva-
tives and had a considerable influence
in keeping Sir Oliver Mowat in power.
But Sir Oliver has gone, the patron
movement is dead and signs are not
wanting that the province desires a
change. The people want to he on
their guard to see that no other grit
fake is hoisted on them and that noth-
ing will prevent a free expression of
the people's will when the time comes.
In this connection it may not be amiss
to state that the Liberals at Ottawa are
proclaiming the doctrine that any
government employe wht takes an ac-
tive part in elections will be bounced.
If this is good doctrine for one side it
cannot he bad for the other, and we
need not look a thousftnd miles from
Walkerton to see office holders who are
daily taking their official life in their
hands by their partisan conduct, when
a sense of pr-opriety would call for neu-
trality from them. But tt day of
reckoning is coming, and if the Con-
servative government that will be in-
stalled at Toronto inside of two years,
has, in its own self defence, to relieve
a number of these partisans of their of-
ficial influence they have only thorn -
selves to thank for it."

The aIns of UM/ Onnaervutive Marty
in power could not have been very
great, for that plotth Grit journal, the
Montreal Witness, has already run out
of material for excuse NI' attack 'Teal
the Tories for past misdoipre, and N'
reaching into the future. Lhe
nes i quite certain that if the silver
cry succeeds in the United States the
Conservatives will take it up in Can-
ada, and the good Grit Journal pro-
ceeds tu dilate upon thVenormity of
the crime which the Tories are going*
to perpetrate. The Witness, having
had experience of the many fads
adopted by the,Grit party when in op-
position, may be laboring under the
delusion that it is necessary for the
party out of power to adopt every
crazy scheme that makes its appear-
ance. But our -esteemed contempor-
ary is rather premature in this case.
In the first place the Conservative
party is no more likely to adopt cheap
silver than it is to adopt any of the
fads which the Grits have been play-
ing with fur the last eighteen years,
and iu the second place the present
goverimieut may be in opposition
and in the fad business again- -before
the United Slates gets crazy enough
to go into the repudiation business.
A Talk on Apples.
Editor Ne um -Record
Sia, --I received a circular from a farmer
with the heading of Apples Wanted. I looked
over its contents and 1 find that apples are de-
sired on commission, which means that the far-
mer is to run all risks on id e fruit after it lea ves
Clinton„ or any other station, to a foreign mar-
ket, whore his brand or style of packing is not
known. Consequently, when placed on the
F30.1110 market with popular brands known to the
dealer for 15 years or more in England, and
have always given fair satisfaetion, he is not in
it. You must also take into consideration the
rise and fall et freight rates hist Flat/HOU ; with a
light crop the rate was 65 ante per barrel, with
a heavy crop this season in v ie w, they have raised
the freight rate to 98i cents per barrel, and like-
ly to go higher as they come to beehipped. You
must also take into consideration the steam
boat aceommodation. When there is a full crop
11. 15 hard to get Apace fur your apples. In years
that are past 1 have known even my own apples
to be shut out, and in November month gut
frozen as hard as bullets in the cars and on the
docks in Montreal, and then not taken from
there but sent around via Portland and Boston,
by the G. T. IL, to fulfil their part of the eon -
tract, and not arrive in England until alter
Christmas. Then when they arrive in England
or Scotland you are subject tri dockage and coop-
erage, which amounts to 7 ets. per barrel, also
brokerage and commission, which will amount
to about Wets. per barrel after arri v Ing, before you
will receive a cent for your apples, and I am in-
formed an extra 10 eta. per barrel will be
charged here for the information you will re-
ceive about how your apples will bo slaughtered
in the Liverpool market.
The past experience of some of the farmers in
the year 1894 bears me out in my views. I that
season paid to the farmers of Huron County
1$1.25 per barrel for their apples. Mr. Harris,
of Goderich town, formerly of Dungannon, as
ho also stated, having 10 years experience,went
around with about the same fad. I can give
you the names, if desired, of a numger of far,
mersthat were taken in by the fake game.
What did they receive for their fruit when
returns were made to them/ 54 cts. per barrel
for their apples, for which I offered 111.25, to
some of them personally, and to the rest by my
agents.
It the farmers of Ituron County desire to
have their apples handled in this way I will do
it for 5 cts. per barrel. Having 15 years contin-
uous experlenee—not every second or third
year, but every year—I have made a fair
success of it1 am not only known in Winnipeg
and Groat Britian, but in almost every market
in the world of any consequence, and have
agents and direct communication with them by
cable as well as by letter. Give me a show. It
is a dead sure deal—no grumbling about it.
In regard to the farmers getting their own
barrel, it is a move in the right direction.
Every fernier should get his own barrels and
have them on hand, if possible, when the rush
comes on, and if then you cannot sell your fruit
to your satisfaction you can fill your barrels in
the orchard, culling ont the bad apples, shak-
ing your barrels slightly when filling and then
pressing the head in so that when you remove
the barrel to your cellar or bank barn, you will
not have the apples shift round in the barrel.
-They can then be handled very easily and when
a purchaser conies to repack them there will be
but very little bad fruit.
They all will be handled by the spring season
of the coining year, if properly taken care of.
Do not put thein in a warm place; keep thetn,
if poNsible, at about freezing point. In regard
to prices. they will be very low. Kindly read
Hamilton & Pritchard's (Liverpool, Glasgow
and Montreal) report on apples, who, having
travelled over most of the apple -bearing dis-
tricts in the United States and Canada, and
forward or export apples to the English mar-
ketAincl whose vievvscanhe taken as thoroughly
reliable. Although it is written for men that
are in the trade, I take the liberty of making it
public. Considering tho amount of apples that
there is in Huron county this season, 1 am pre-
pared to keep the people posted ea to the out-
look in general at all times. Thanking you,
sir 1) CANTELON.
RELIABLE AUTHORITY'
GENTLEMEN, - I hope to start West towards
the end of this week and look forward with
pleasure to meeting you.
• From personal investigation into the N. Y.
States and Eastern States Crops and from what
I hoar of the crops in Ontario 1 estimate that
yon have to handle the largest quantity for ex-
port to England ever known.
To arrive at our position which at times is a
speculative ono we have to consider many fac-
tors relating to crops, markets, fall and winter
growths, freights, etc.
It is true that England already wants Apples,
as crops In Europe arc insignificant. New
York State can supply her with Fall Fruit, and
Boston can come in a good second with her
shipments of the same growth. These Apple
will bo in evidence on the English markets be-
fore Canada is ready to ship.
Now respecting Winters. Maseachussetts,
Now Hampshire and down East aro loadeAl
with Bald wino of excellent_quality which will
be ready for export on 7th September or a fort-
night earlier than usual, I know men who are
setting their gangs to work on Bald wins In
Massachussetts and New Hampshire, the first
day in September. Hubbardstons will be
shipped by then.
The foregoing calculations will Flhow you
therefore, that in Pipito of exciting circulars the
outlook Is extremely gloomy for Canadian Fall
Fruit. Boston Bald wins will be In England In
competition with your Falls and I must tell
you frankly from niy 15 years' experience in
the Liverpool Market that your Fall Fruit, will
stand no chalice with good Red Boston Bald
wins of such elegant quality as thls year pro-
duces.
You will naturally say we cannot buy the
"Winters" without the "Falls." Then leave
them alone! Here 11+101 excellent opportunity
for the progressive fernier to continuo the new
"hobby" of affirming his own Apples. it ma
be that when he has shipped his "Falls" ho will
want to sell you his "Winters."
Having placed before you my ideas earnestly
respecting "Falls" 1 now turn to "Winters.'
Past, experiences have proved that exeellent
all around quality of Fruit 1F1 the principal ad-
vantage to gamble on, 1 think we have this
quality this season, in fact there is no doubt of
it, if the large my* can mature withont shov-
ing the trees through the earth, I am therefore
of GIB opinion that prime Winter Fruit bought
low enough to sell in Liverpool at about fts. or
10fi., allowing an ocean freight of 3s. per barrel
(which figure I think the steamer will get)
ought to be a fair speculation and at this price
provided no demoralizing glut of Fall Fruit
takes place Liverpool ought to relieve you wil.
lingly of 75,600 to 85,000 a week and Glasgow
and London in proportion until the middle of
December.
New York Fall Fruit is selling in Liverpool
to -day at 8s. to lls. in heated condition.
Yours faithfully,

Editor New -Record :
Ent, -1 have always found your paper ad vo
eating the interests of the masses and in COINC•
quence I crave a small space 10 your valuable
paper. The Mayor, I notice, asks people to cut
down the grass and weeds In front of their pro-
perty since the Council has saddled the town
with V250 extra taxes for a road machine. At
the same time this same machine is left to rut
in idleness while many a taxpayer receives no
benefit. Since this machine was bought it
should be kept at work as long as there is
anything for it to do. The people, through the
advice of some of our representatives, decided
to not allow cows to run at large, and as a con-
sequence there is grass on the streets which the
Mayor objects to and he now commands we
poor people who work from ten to eighteen
hours a day, to work longer—and probably eat
loss—because we were foolish enough to follow
the advice of a few like the Mayor. If the town
cannot afford to cut the weeds and grass on the
public streets, cows should be allowed to eat it,
The road machine should be at work as long as
there is work tor it. Another point is the waste
of money for the proposed new street. There
is no more need for it than for five legs to a dog
or for three legs to any councillor at the Board.
If the Council had put, the same amount of
money in work by the road machine on streets
that require improving, there would be some
reason in their action, Tho Council has bought
the road machine for certain work and refuse
to proceed with the work, but through the
Mayor ask taxpayers to do the work themsel-
ves. Some of these representatives would re-
fuse "Little England," as they call ita single
electric light, even at the railway crossing. The
taxes there certainly warrant the granting of
such a request and there will surely be a shak-
ing up of dry bones next January if all these
matters aro not better looked after. I was glad
to see that Cooper, McKenzie, Walker and
Kennedy stood by us poor people.

HEART DISEASE
i3 CURABLE.
ALFRED COULDRY, OF WEST SIIEFFORD,
QUEBEC, COMPLETF.LY CURED OF
HEART DISEAsE OF FOUR YEARS'
STANDING BY DR. A(3NEW'S (WRE FOR

CATARRHAL POWDER—DR. AONEW'H
OINTMENT FOR PILES AND HIS PILLS
FOR LIVER ILLS.
Four Most Remarkable Remedies.
The development of science in recent
years gives hope for the curing of
many of the worst forms of disease
that afflict humanity. Even so dread-
ed a complaint as heart disease is cur-
able. This is being demonstated al-
most daily by the use of Dr. Agnew's
Cure for the Ileart. It positively
gives relief in any case within half an
hour after the first dose, and this
often means the saving of a life.
Alfred Couldry of West Shefford, Que.,
suffered, from heart disease for four
years. ie found no relief ntil he
made the acquaintance of Dr. Agnew's
Cure for the Heart, and says: "After
using eight bottles of this medicine I
know nothing of this dreaded trouble."
Catarrh in its worst forms is deem-
ed incurable. But here is what Mrs.
George Graves of Ingersoll, Ont., says:
"My little daughter Evn, aged thirteen
years, four years ago was taken with
catarrh of the very worst kind. We
used all known catarrh cures and doc-
tored with the most skilful physicians
for over three years, but, with no avail.
We considered her rase chronic and in-
curable, Last Nv in ter I heard of the
fame of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Pow-
der, and was persuaded to try a bottle,
and 1 must confess, for the sake of all
suffering humanity, that after using
two bottles my child was completely
cured."
Dr. Agnew hes given to the public
four valuable specifice, and all alike do
themost satisfactory work. His fam-
ous ointment will cure the worst cases
of itching piles in from three to six
night:4, and one application alone will
being comfort.
In an age when there is no end of
.iver pills, it says much for Dr. Ag-
new's Dyer pills that they win friends
wherever k-nown. Ten cents is the
charge for a phial of forty doses. --Sold
