The Globe says: -•"A man never
know the blessing of being an orphan
till he gets a job in the City Hall." Or,
we might add, till he gets a job under
the Laurier party.
"The Ridgetown Dominion makes a
clear point on superannuation and the
Grit policy when it says :--"During
the election campaign we heard a great
deal about superannuations and the
abuse of the system by the Conserva-
tive Government.. Among the many
reforms promised by the Liberals, and
at Ridggtown in the presence of the
inion. WWm'. Paterson by Mr. Rankin,
was the abolition of superannuations.
The case of Mr. Pennyfather, at (3Jiat-
haW.twatt'ilriiitaneedii . fill:' bthe
indignation ot Mr.nankina:lilrand the
patriots on fhe pilatfr .fn thereat.
Word now comes from Kingston that
the postmaster .of that city has been
superannuated at a good allowance
per year, and Mr. Alex. Qunne, who
defeated Sir John Macdonald in King-
ston softie twenty yes rs ao, has been
appointed in his place. Me. °wipe is
blit a year or heti younger tphah the ran
supet'annuated. One by one, and as
fast ata occasion arises, are the Liberal
pledges broken."
(URRII.VT TOPICS.
is it, not possible for Honest Thomas
Gibson, M. P.P., to secure a few more
fat berths for his friends?
What a "cleaning out" the "stables"
will require when the Conservatives
are r•eturued to power,
Laurier and Tarte continue c,o
"cleau out the stables," but the build-
ings are immediately filled to over flow.
After learning that the guard who
shot the desperate criminal at Kings-
ton penitentiary in self defence is the
lrotIkt r of a Conservative M. P , the
Globe calls for an investigation.
The partisan Toronto Globe thus re-
flects un one of Canada's most noble sons
and his estimable wife: "If there are
many golden weddings in Canada like
that ot Sir Charles and Lady Tupper
the [nines of British Columbia and the
Rainy River will have to work over-
time to turn out bullion for presents.'
After a month of silence the Toronto
Globe has opened its mouth on the sub-
ject of the Sifton purchase. As might
be expected, it defends the entire
thing. It sees no wrong in the giving
to Mr. Sifton of a Federal portfolio as
the price of his recantation of his
vaunted National school principles.
Sunny ways mean bribery. Concilia-
tion cleans jobs for purchasable men.
"Business is business, as you know."
When the Conservative press received
legislative advertising from the Con-
servative Government the Reform
press was pleased to characterize their
contemporaries as being pep -fed and
time -serving. We notice now where
the inconsistency comes in, for the
Grit press are now doing the same
class of work and consequently, to use
their own argument, must be "pap fed
and time -serving."
Mail and Empire :—Mr, Laurier has
written to a North-west member, say-
ing that he is going to do great things
for the Territories "if God spares fine,
"and it is His will to keep me in
"power for a few years." We had
hypocrisy in the dealings with the
House of Commons bar, and now, in
addition to cant, we are treated to
blasphemy. It is shocking that a
poiitic_an who secured Mike bye sys-
tem of duplicity that would he called
lying in places where plain Anglo-
Saxon prevails, and who is intrench-
ing himself by. the exercise of cor-
ruption more open and flagrant than
any that has ever been known should
attribute his official position to the
Almighty, and should even hint at the
interposition of the Deity to preserve
to him what he has gained.
Here is another illustration of the
Reform mode of dealing with Conser-
vative office -holders. Letter carrier
George Grirnmond, of London, has
been dismissed without a 'moment's
warning on the recommendation of
defeated Hyman. "Business is busi-
ness, you know," and Grit heeler Pat-
rick Flannery is promptly placed in
the position. We are told that "blood
is thicker than water," and, of course,
the French Laurier had to raward the
Irish Pat for past services in Protestant
London. As the Free Press says,
"there has never been in the history of
the civil service in London a more
cruel and inconsiderate example of
dealing with a puhlic servant,\vho had
committed no fault, but was in every
sense efficient." London, also, is now
afflicted with the Yankee spoils sys-
tem, and it has been introduced by the
Grit party.
The other week THE News-RucoRn
was much aroused at the Signal taking
,all the credit in preventing "Honest"
Thomas Gipson, M. P.P., from being
appointed Registrar of Huron and
blandly endorsing the appointment of
"Honest" Torn's brother, Since then
the Signal has discovered that "ray
brother's appointment" is one and the
sante thing, and now claims to se.e
through the veil. Because the Strat-
ford herald dilated on the plain fact
the Signal chargee that paper with be-
ing "inconsistent" and a "Jump, Jim
Crow," on the Remedial hill. The
Herald's present course has been quite
consistent with its past course, but
why should the Signal resort, to the
Remedial Bill which is a Dominion
measure, in connection with the On
term appointment of a Registrar for
Huron? The one is as foreign to the
question es is the North Pole and the
hottest clime of the Southern States.
The Signal's course in this 'natter has
not been consistent, while that of the
Herald in this and other matters has
heen.
The Manitoba School Question.
Lindsay Warder.
Many will deem this not a very hon-
orable settlement. of the Manitoba
school quest.ioe ; yet it is the settle-
fne:) t.
1. 'Separate schools to ex in Mani-
toba. Wherever fifty roman catholic
children can he got together they are
to he taught by a roman catholic teach-
er, in a convent. or any roman catholic
building, or in a. school. Thus Protest-
ants will pay it large share of taxes to
educate rowan catholic children. Fair
rounded roman catholics should not
and do not ask such. It is only Siftwn's
and (lreenway's deal to placate the
roman catholic chureh,
2. Half an hour at the close of the
day to be for religions purposes in
every school where wanted.
3. Revision of text -hooks to suit the
roman catholic church.

Behind the Scenes.
Mall and Empire.
Now for the Tariff :
Mr. Laurier. (in Council)Now, gentle-
men, let us consider the next question
--the tariff. What is our policy on
that ?
Chorus of Ministers—Free—tariff—
for — trade — pro revenue — reel —
tection-1)r•oc•ity.
Mr. Laurier—Yes, that's it. I see
you don't forget, How shall we com-
mence to do it?
A painful silence.
Sir Oliver —In such a case we uaually
have a plebiscite or a commission.
Mr. Tarte---Ah, a commission. Bon,
hon. Zat weans to call in Abbe
Proulx.
A sleeping Potion :
Mr. Laurier—Do you think the Globe
will oppose the Srfton deal?
Mr. Tarte—Non, non ; cot vill do
anything zat vee say.
Mr. Laurier—Ah! But you crust
remember that Mr. Willison wrote to
the Manitobans, and told thein not to
budge an inch. .
Mr. Tarte—Oui, oui ; but zat vas
only at the election ; and zen zero is
Monseau Jaffray, and zere is zee nice
little seat in zee senate.
Sympathy for the Farmer ;
Willie Gibson—Aweel, Jove ; after a'
the row we kicked up about it, I'rn sure
ye didn't talk your foo' indemnity,
John McMillan—Oh, yes, 1 did, and
so did Jamie McMullen.
`Willie Gibson—And did yer so forget
the puir farmer?
John McMillan—That's just the
point. I thocht of him. You ken I'm
a puir farmer niysel.
Qualified for Office:
r. Lonna—Have you passed our
Civil Service examination ?
Applicant for Office—Oh, yes, I
joined the St. John's Ward association
three months ago.
Mr. Lount—Still, you are but a new-
comer. I only give jobs to Reformers
bald in the service.
Applicant—Weil I bawled at the
Tupper meeting and at all of Coats -
worth's.
Mr. Lount — You shall have the
place of the next offensive partisan
we dismiss.
Accordingto the Scriptures:
Mr. Muock—Cancel Mr. Dixon's
stamp license, and give it to my friend
Hewitt.
Officer—Yes, sir.
Mr. Mulock—Oh, it makes one feel
real good to do a charitable actinvoly-
ing no personal inconvenience or ex-
pense. You know the Good Book
tells us to remember the needy.
Officer—Yes, sir.
Mr. Mulock — And, by the way,
cancel the Fredericton mail contract
also.
Officer—Yes, sir. That is held by a
poor widow.
Mr. Mulock—What of it? Aren't
we told that from her who hath not
shall he taken whatsoever she hath ?
A Question and Answer.
Editor News -Record
DEAR SIR. ---I have read your paper
ficin its first inception and have al-
ways admired your impartial spirit.
Although you have as a rule given
very full reports of the Council pro-
ceedings, I have not seen anything of
THE NEWS-RErorue's Opinion as to the
new roadway, whether it is a good or
had investment. ' I and many others
would like to have your opinion on
this matter,
Yours,
TAXPAYER.
iED, N0TE.—As to the new roadway,
there is a difference of opinion. THE
NEWS -RE( ORD fails to see that the be-
nefit will-- it any -be to the majority of
those who should be interested. We
cannot see that there is any more and
probably not as much danger at the
present crossing as there will he at the
new one. The real danger is, in our
opinion, at the London Road crossing,
where there is a great deal of traffic.
At the station crossing the greatest
danger is while trains are coming in.
Here they move more slowly, but at
the new street the movement of the
trains will he rapid. In the winter
with heavy Snow and winds we doubt
if the two roads will he kept passable
without extra expense to the town. If
the money expended in the purchase,
opening and Is hor on this new street,
as well as on Isaac, were expended
along with what, Stanley Township
would give on improving a leading
road from that municipality to Clie-
ton, there would he no comparison in
the value of the investment. This is a
field of patronage which naturally
belongs to Clinton, hut is lost on ac-
count of the had roads leading here.
Even now it would be wisdorn on the
part of Clinton Council to consider
the imps ovement of these roads and to
assist. The opening of tisivac s£Het
will not holing any more trade to Clin-
ton. It may assist in retaining the
trade we have.) ,

need, iu Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur-

"I want to praise Hood's Sarsaparilla.
My health run down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly ae'eoted; so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood's 'Sarsaparilla. Soon I coald
do all ray own housework. I have taken
ured
Mood's Pills with Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and they have done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken IS
bottles of Hood's Saresparills,and through
the bleseing of God, it has cured me.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum-
mer, and I an* thankful to say I am
well. Hood's Pills when taken with

Editor News -Record )
SIR,—In last week's issue "Grit"
says he gave the true cause for the
appointment of the Registrar. About
a year ago the Huron Expositor told
us all the applicants were fit for the
office, as they were all heelers and
workers for the party, and that Mr.
Gibson was .not an applicant. The
Government must not have thouht,
the applicants fit for the office,
or else they are still needed
to do missionary work for the
party. Now that the Grits are
in power, how they forget their former
pledges. They declared four million
less would do for expenditure, but now
want that rnu:;h more than the Tories,
£hey were when out of power for
free trade. Now Sir Richard states in
the house there were a thousand and
one articles duty was paid on, I
would like for some Grit to name halt
the number. Sir Richard has been 80
long in the cold and not getting to be
Finance Minister must be trying for
leader in a warmer country. If he
follows up some of his statements he
may succeed, The Grits got into
power on the Manitoba school ques-
tion and not on the trade question, the
same as when they got into power in
Ontario by offering $5,000 for the cap-
ture of murderer Louis Riol and then
never paid it. They said he was a
martyr and that Sir John Macdonald
should have been hanged instead.
One man canvassing in South Huron
before the 23rd of June stated Roman
Catholics had no rights in this country
and had no right to teach their child-
ren their dogivas. Since Mr. Laurier is
in power he says he does not care what,
a man's religion is if he is only a Grit.
The Grits wanted free oil, hinder twine
and agricultural implements for years,
but now they want time to consider—
time that is likely to he as long as
they are in power. The Glee has
stated several times that the Manitoba
school questr:er was settled. Sir
Oliver said it was not, and the
Governor-General said it was' not. Mr,
Mulock gave Mr. Hewett an office
selling postage stamps as he was a
broken down merchant the same as
the registrar. Then after he got the
office Mr. Mulock heard he was pri-
vate secretary to Lorci Aberdeen and
he is likely the one who informed the
Governor-General that there was only
five Grit senators, and unjust judges
on the bench. If he is the person who
informed the Governor he is entitled
to the office and likely he is an orphan.
Yours,
A TORY,
Winthrop.
