FRIDAY, OCT, 2xn, 1885,
PREPARING FOR ACTION
The Reformers of the East Riding
of Huron met at t russols last week
atm. the purpose of organizing for the
coming campaign. There was a large
attendance of representative men from
all parts of the Riding, and the man-
ner in which the business of the con-
vention was carried through would in-
dicate that the next general election
will be made most interesting for
somebody, The first and most nn -
portant matter to be attended to is
the revision of the voters' lists, upon
the correctness of which the success
of the Rehm party in the next and
future elections depends. The revis-
ing officers will be appointed within
the next three weeks, when they wi 1
at once enter upon the performs nce of
their duties, and prepare, mire and
complete the voters' lists, These of-
ficers will be appointed by the Domin-
ion Government and the lists will
thus be brought under the direct con-
trol of the Government. It is there-
fore necessary that Reformers, indi-
vidually and codectively, should take
a personal interest in the matter and
see that the lists retain, as nearly'
as possible, their purity. All
the Reformers waut, and all they can
afford to accpet, is justice and fair
play. The.lists must be watched and
not left entirely in the hands of parti-
sans of the 'Government. If every
qualified Conservative is to be oa the
list, every qualified Reformer must be
there, too, and no person who is not
qualified must be allowed to re-
main. The revising officers will, of
course, be friends of the Government,
from whom they will also receive
their pay. and they will see to it that
Conservative interests are not neg;ect-
ed in the preparation of the lists. On
the other hand, the Reformers have no
Dominion treasury at their back, and
. it will devolse upon them as individ-
uals to act spontaneously and see that
the interests of the Reform party are
not neglected.
THE CEMETERY.
p�3acible that the disease can be con:
fined to the limits of the city, and the
probabilities are that it will spread to
outside plates. The situation is is
very pave one, and instant steps
should be taken to stay its progress
as muoh,,as possible. While there
may be no immediate cause for alarm
in this remote locality, yet the
strictest precautions should be taken.
to provide agatnst it taking any foot-
hold. The local boards of health in
this and surrounding municipalities
should meet and settle on soine plan
of action, and the people should be in-
structed as to what precautionary
measures to observe and khat to do
in case the disease presents itself.
The committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter e devising means
v;herebv our cemetery might be beau-
tified and .kept in proper order will
likely present a report to the council
next Monday evening. \Ve have no •
means of knowing what course of '
action they are likely to suggest, but
it it is to be hoped it will be a prac-
tical one, that can be successfully
carried out, and one alike creditable
to theicsel /Es and to the town. As
THE TIMES has already pointed out,
the manner in w:uch oui cemetery is
kept is a disgrace t'; a Christain com-
munity, and reflects severely upon the
respect we c'ierish upon the memory
of our dei,d. It is scarcely lik' ly that
any feasio e plan to curry on toe nu
provements can be su4gested witl,un
entailing some direct expense upon
the town, but it reed not necessarity
be very heavy. Anyway the couneii
will
be kis fled ir, making a liberni
allotment for this purpose, and it is
hoped they will if it is necessary.
Propriety end decency demand that
our cemetery sh.)uid be placed in order
and kept so, and the math r of a few
dol 'rs end cents should not sret,d il•
the way of removing from this town
the stigma of an ill kept cemetery.
SMALL PDX.
The sit • of Montreal is being visited
by a small pox epidemic which is
• carrying off its sco .es of victims daily,
and the disease ap,ears to he sprend-
ing aho it the city and suburbs wit
appalling rapidity. It 1,. pstinin,ed
that there is not less than three thous-
and case,' of small pox in tl e city i'f
the most virulent type. It issolace .y
THE NEW READERS.
In another column will be found a
communication from '`Bookseller" re-
g&u'clLg the new Ontario readers,
which are receiving a thorough airing
througn the Provincial press. "Book
seller" agrees that a comparisonbetween
the old and new readers shows the
latter to be better value by a large per
cent than the former, but at the saute
he takes the opp'rtunity to have a
Hing at the Education Department
for creating what he is pleased to term
a "monopoly." The fact that the new
readers are, as he says, better value
by 25 per cent. than the old would in-
dicate that if there is a monopoly the
usual course pursued by monopolies is
not being carried out. In fact it
rather indicates that the term is in-
applicable in this case. We do not
deny that the retrial dealers have a
grievence, and a substantial one, too.
But in the natter of their share of
the profits that lies entirely between
them and the publishers. The remedy
"Bookseller" suggests would be a gond
one—for the retail dealers, and for
their sake we would be happy to see
it carried out. But it would make no
difference to the general public. It
would simply add to the dealers' profits
by de.luetiug from that of the pub-
lishers. Although innumerable at-
tempts bave been made to prove that
a monopoly has been';,created by the
Ontario Government whereby the
general public suffer, it has not been
successfully shown that such is the
case. If any. other book equal to the
new readers can be purchased for 18i
cents per 100 pages, we should like to
see it.
CABINET CHANGES.
The New Meader&
To the Editor of Tug Tisza.
Sir,—Referring to your editorial in
last week's issue on the' `New Ontario
Readers,'" the Tory press are continu-
ally harping about the prices which I
do not consider high, when a compati-
son is ma c, between the new and the
old series, The new are better value
by 20% than the old, but that does
not put oue cent into the pockets of
the small dealer, who, if he lives close,
can run his business on 10% on his
sales leaving a very handsome(?) mar-
gin of $10 after soiling $100 worth of
books. The press say no hing in our
behalf in this matter; we are the ones
who have to p •y for the olunders of
the late \linister of Education in
authorizing two sets of readers. The
loss to the pub'ishers is made up by
the dealers in not vetting their rights,
viz: a legitimate living profit, on what
he sells. I claim the government
should never have created a monopoly
in the publication of the books, It
should be open to competition the
same as lettii.g a contract. The Min-
ister of Education cannot explain to
the satisfaction of the parents of On-
tario (except they be dyed -in the -wool -
politicians) their actions in reiereuce
to this vexed question, and the only
remedy that I can see is to reduce the
the prices about 20% and give the
dealer 10% more profit, then every•
body wou•d be happy (except the mou-
opolists) and Mowat & Co would get
blessings innumerable.
Yours, etc.,
BOOKSELLER.
