CURRENT TOPICS. Mayor Holines does not even object to ride in the boodling government cat'. At Goderich Mr. Tarte had to talk English as hest he could and he was not " behind the scenes" -either.

Mr. M. several l . Cameron has a s n' o s to might provide for. There's no use n snaking two bites of it cherry. The new Grit postmaster of Gode- Ich, so report says, is an Aruerican A Yankee postmaster under Laurier 'tile is good enough for the County Cown of Huron, Win. Campbell, the late, honored postmaster of Goderich, will be alive when the Grits are dead. We were of the opinion Mr. Cameron had it son-in-law provided for in the London Asylum for the Insane. How Many more hits lie provided fur? How many more has he, anyhow? The wives of many honest men will weep over the fact that they did not happen to be members' daughters. All respectable Reformers we have met refuse to swallow Cameron's Poisonous pill over the Goderich post ufftce. Hundreds of Reformers in West Huron declare that Mr. Camel oil will never again be a parliamentary candi- date. The heart of every honest man and every hottest politician throbs vigorous - ]v for Will. Campbell and his estim- able family. Hon. Mr. Tarte did not create a favorable impression in Huron, except for the money promises he made'. "Buajriess is business" was one of his favorite expressions_ That sinful Tory government car Cumberland is in possession of the Grits. And they swallow all then' lying' statements and use it themselves right in Huron, How nauseating. The Signal g al says to gain places of preferment one e anis t mart a mem. eln- Y r hers daughter.

If you don't see what you IMML, just ask for rt, or "marry at members daughter. A few months ago the HeaforLh Ex- positor could not see anything in the evidence to justify the dismissal of I'ostauaster Campbell. Now the same paper is of the opinion that Reformers should stand by the disgraceful stet of ('ameron and Mulock. Our coutem- Porary is not unwilling to plunge into the depths of hales for party purposes, Sixteen years or more since this journal dubbed the member for West Huron "Ananias." At the time and since then we have been denounced in private and on the hustings in hitter terms, but now we find Mr. Cameron's persunitl kind most intimate friends confirming what this journal has faithfully and honestly preached dur. ing all those years, Sinners generally seek repentance. Loftus E. Dancey of Goderich, the sprig of a lawyer who is no more decent than the ordinary ran of people and who has succeeded in making a reputation for himself in more ways than one, we learn from the Huron signal, is mixed tip in the disgraceful conspiracy in pitchforking Postmaster Campbell out Of his position. His re- ward is to he a judgeship when he has been long ennug'h in the service, but we predict the Ben(h will not he very much elevated when the appointment takes place. At the same time we must confess tinder the corrupt, ex- travagant, double-daaling Laurier party therervill be little surprise at such an act. _ Forfeits Grit Support. Toronto Telegram (Ind.) M. C. Carneron, M. P., should have known better than to favor the ap- pointment of his son-in-law to the position of Postmaster of Goderich. Mr. Cameron could afford to forfeit the affections of his son-in-law, but not the good support of every other grit n the riding. Campbell Should Have Been Retained. Hamilton spectator (Conservative) Dan McGillicuddy, who is opposed to the appointment of a relative of M. C, )ameron, M. P., to the Goderich post - mastership, is not after the job him - elf. He asks the Government. o retain the present postmas- er. Ilan simply wants to save It party from the disgrace of nepo. ism. 'Pile Passing of Cameron.

Thirty years ago he branded a trial) as a traitor to his party who did nut de- serve the, epitheS ally nn• ue than Catrl- Ierou does to -tray. 'Prue, he will say that he did not desert, but we who know the inside history, know that he lacked only the opportunity. The story of his treason to ills party un more than one occasion is in the hands Of one who will riot hesitate to use it when the hour comes, and Cameron will find that though the wrongdoer Illay apparently prosper for it while, the time will conte when the search- light will reveal his every pufit.ical de- linquency. He is now relegated to the ranks of the political "has beers." But the passing of Carne ton, by the Benedict Arnold route, should not affect the cause of true Liberalism in West Huron, Wh`bn the American leader turned traitor,e his treason did not virtually affect th t Y cause which he had formerly espoused, and the pass- ing of Carneron should not wean Liber- als from the cause which they have believed in, and for which they have fought so earnestly and so well in the past, True Liberalism is against family conlpactism, and family cout- pactism is merely another name for nepotism. Baldwin and Lafontaine fought against the Family Compact, and 3o did Brown and Dorian; Mac- kenzie and Blake opposed it when the Liberals were last in Power ; and, we believe, the greiat, chief, Laurier, is its true to the integrity of the principI today as were the giant leaders who in the past led the people out of the Political house of bondage. Ashfield and Wawanosh Liberals are still true to Laurier ; those in Colborne and Hullett still revere his name ; the rank and file in the towns arid, tile. remnant in Goderich township, are true as steel to the principles of Re- form, and the defection of an erstwhile local leader will not lure theut from the proper path. No; they will re- main faithful to the true interests of the party, even, if to do so, they be forced to denounce the conduct, of the roan who, at the first opportunity that Offered, took advantage of it positiuu Of trust to he a sell' -seeker arid a swal- lower of past professions, and to be- come a riteluber Of that army of ne- potists whose policy and practice he had denounced in unmeasured terms during it long political lifetime. To all true Liberins the name of M. C. Cameron is now but a memory --the memory of it. man who wantonly took from himself his own good name; who created the Cameron infinence in Huron only to destroy it for a price ; who was willing to wreck the con- stituency to accomplish his own ends. So much is this the case, that no repre- sentative Reformer has dared to curve forward over his own signature in print and attempt to defend the course which has been pursued by the rene- gade member, and no responsible man will do it, for Cameron's action is inde- fensible, wjtltou r tone redeeming fea- ture, and can lie defended neither, in the press nor on the platform, The finger of scorn is now his portion, arid the name that once awakened cheers from the Atlantic to the rock-ribhed Pacific Slope is now it hissing and it byword, Sic trans r IC 1nPirL I 1 condi. Evide:ree of Hostility. Hamilton Spectator, The government f the United States hat,, ,fat ,earns, determined to strike a blow at the Canadian r allwlya 1 Y the imposition of 10 F i per cent a( additional duty on goods imported into the United StnteS and carried on Canadian roads. The effect of the new regulationwill not he, by any means, so terrible as Life peopfe of whington think it will. 'They have been led to suppose that the Canadian "Pacific railway, ]list year, handler) 8,000,000 tolls of freight des. tined for the United State's, whereas the filet is that the toad mentioned handled only ah011t half thiLt, amount of freight all told. But whatever the effect may bo, the hostility of the intention is quite plain. It quite uite evident that Sir \1 ilfrid Larirjei's admiration for the United State fdnds no reciprocal echo in the minds of the American statesmen. They dislike Ca iada,and are apparent - determined to do this country all the harm that can be done by un- friendly legislation. But, while the Aunerician statestuen are engaged in this unneighborly occupation, they etre inadvertenly cluing Canada a great deal of good—good which will offsetall tate harm they can do, and leave a large balance in favor of the Dominion. Not long ago the Liberal party of this country was disposed to make eonl- merchil relations with the United States which would necessi tate the cur- tailing of Canadian trade with (creat Britain, and have a strong tendency to loosen the bunds that bind Canadii to the mother country. Of late, owing principally to the fact that the Liberal government of Canada was compelled —ill all unavailing attempt to force Uncle Sam into reciprocity with this country --to make some move toward closer relations with the empire, and this fact hits very largely affected the rank and file of the party, who are now very much more inclined to he loyal than they were it few years ago.

We do not think the evidence taken at the investigation was, in itself, sufficient to warrant the removal of Campbell, though we never had niuch doubt in our own mind but that he would be re. moved. ) '1 e It is c sst lie fo • - P i an iudivid tial to display considerable partisan - sit' without tieing irAive in politics, and while we k11ow nothing personally 'is to Mr. Campbell's actions in this direction the idea certainly prevails, even among his own political ad- herents, that he was very strongly partisan. The appointment of Mr. Galt as his successor is not unexpected, as the mutter has been current ruulour for some time. There are two grounds on which objection might be taken to the appointment, one being that lie has never done anything to entitle hint to the position, the other that he is a ron- in -law of Mr. Cameron, the sitting member. The ground hits been taken that Mr. Cameron s'liould not have ap- pointed a member of his own family? to a position of emolument, as it was opposed to the principles of the Liberal party. There is some force in this view, and we are inclined to think that the appointment would not have been made, had Mr. Cameron been left with a free hand in the matter, but „ „ cit i ct nlstances alter cases. During his long pat lianlentary career he hits certainly never taken advant• age of his position to help himself or Ills relatives. We do ii6t know of any benefit, direct or indirect, that he has received that he wits not entitled to. it is well known that he has inade. gL r et L sacrifi • ces in the interest of the Y ti . , t t and ill many • ways s the Liberals 1 are un I c der• �'reat o )hg orlon. to him. At the sarne time the cljatvibution of pat- ronage in this riding is in his own t hands. The chief applicants for the con- tenlplated vacancy were Mr. Galt anti Mi,. McGillicuddy. The former had no clailus for party consideration; the Other had. If :lir. McGillicuddy was not entitled tb the postrnastership, lie was to something equally valuable, but In pressing his claims some think he allowed his zeal to get the better of his ludgnpent, and said things Lhat would 'lave been better unsaid, The result was that personal friends of Cameron then brought pressure to bear, favor- able to the appointment of Ills wit-ill- law.\Virile we should have been glad to see the services of 1Ir.
