and difficult undertaking, and the
high enconiums that have been
'showered upon us (metaphorically
again) since it was known we had
consented to fill the breach, is a
public endorsation of Her Majes-
ty's colonial representative.
We have experienced no diffi-
culty whatever in making our
selection. The great and united
party that we have the honor to
represent is so full of able men—
not able solely in the physical
sense, but in the mental as well—
that a choice of colleagues is a
matter of the greatest pleasure
and ease. The divergencies of
race and creed—opposite as the
poles—are factors that unite in
working for the common good.
Instead of being antagonistic, (as
most people might suppose) and
hating each other with a bitter
hatred, our intercourse with them
has convinced us that the hatred,
if any, is beneath the surface. for
on the exterior we have not been
able to find anything but the most
pleasant, relations.
Before announcing the personal
of the cabinet we shall take the
members of the party into our
confidence long enough to tea
them that we deemed it prudent
and a matter of economy to elimi-
nate some of the material of which
the Cabinet had previously been
:constructed, as it was more or Iess
objectionable on account of age.

We have no further use for Mr
Caron, Minister of Militia; he
never did amount to a great deal,
but we cannot stand a monocle in
so democratic a cabinet as ours.
Other minor changes are made,
such as dropping out Mr Carling,
who has been an honored confrere
for years, but he is troubled with
an ale-ment that destroys his
usefulness, having lost public con-
fidence.
The members of the old Cabinet
that we retain are Mr Thompson,
as we look upon him as one of the
most able men in the House; Mr
Tupper we retain for "his father's
sake" and the amount of assurance
that he possesses; Mr Foster, be-
cause of his ability to meet the
exigencies of any occasion; Mr
Dewdney, because he knows "the
inside track" of the Interior De-
partment, and John Haggart, as
Postmaster -General.
The vacancies that remain will
be filled as soon as we can decide
two or three trifling points. It
will not be difficult to get any
number of mon who are just as
efficient as the late incumbents—
that is where our difficulty lies, so
many just as efficient, but what
the country needs is men more

John Thompson.. . All the old
members have consented to act in
their present positions. Mr Cbap-
leau, Secretary of State, was the
only "kicker." He wished to bo
transferred to another depart-
ment, and openly threatened to
make trouble unless his request
was granted. Jt is said that he
has the promise of promotion
after the session is through.
Mr Abbott has been about thir-
ty-five years in public life, and is
seventy-one years old. He is a
native of Argenteuil county, being
the son of an Anglican clergyman. '
He has been for many years a
member of the Montreal bar, and
represented Argenteuil in the old ,
parliament of Canada from 1857
to 1867, when he was returned to
the House of Commons. Pe was
for a short time a member of the
Liberal government led by Sand -
field McDonald and Sieotte, when
he introduced and passed some
important legal reforms. In ) 872
he figured as treasurer of the Pa-
cific Scandal fund, being solicitor
for Sir Hugh Allan's Pacific Rail-
way company, and was one of the
"send me another $10,000," men.
He was defeated in 1875 and '78,
but got returned for Argenteuil
at a by-election in '80, and sat in
the House of Commons until '87,
when he retired. After the re-
tirement of Sir Alexander Camp-
bell from the leadership of the
government party in the Senate,
Mr A libott was called to fill that
position. He was for two years
mayor of Montreal, and is a di-
rector of the Bank of Montreal
and of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way.
It is stated that since accepting
the premiership he has severed
his connection with the C.P.R.
but the impression prevails that
he is on too intimate relations
With this corporation still to be

It is quite evident that his selec-
tion has not given entire satisfac-
tion to the members of the party,
but who is there whose selection
would be unanimous. We are
not of those who believe that the
internal frictions of a party will
at once bring about its disinteg-
ration. Mr Abbott, or any one

Some years ago Sir John A. Macdon-
ald took out two policies in the Stand-
ard Life, each for £2,000, or $9,733.33.
On this total of $19,466,66, although
$1,264.74 of the Dash bonne was • taken
up by the assured, the bonus additions
amounted at the time of his death to
$10,025.33, making the total amount
now doe under the policies $29,491.66,
or adding the amount taken up, a tot-
al of $30,756.73 in place of the face

Premier was as wise -ln the selection of

Although we have indulged in
a little hyperbole in this article,,
and allowed a little more imagi-
nation than fact to find expression,
we believe a good many of our
political opponents will mentally
agree with us that the Cabinet
could be improved by dropping
out the names indicated. Mr
Bowell has been a good man in
his day, but he belongs to a past
generation. Of the otherealluded

ed, but wo know men who do not

If the new ministry would en-
deavor to carry on the affairs of
the country without a resort to the
many objectionable things that
have formed a part of ministerial
management in the past, there
would be a more hopeful outlook
for the country, but we are not
sanguine. Mon who have fallen
into certain practices, and who to
some extent act on the principle
'what is thine is mine" are not able
to change their habits in a day.
What this country needs more
than anything else, is to wipe off
the misdeeds of the past,and start

Seaforth
A GALA TIME.—Perhaps no town
in wester"' Ontario ever made a great-
er effort to get up two day's sport
than Seaforth, on the 16th and 17th
of this month. The firemen of that
place, some three years ago, beat the
world's record in a hose reel race,
and the people of the town ate very
proud of them; when last winter they
asked for a donation to get up a mon-
ster demonstration they responded,
and soon a large sum was raised.
The tournament was thoroughly
advertised, prizes were given for
hose reel races, hook and ladder com-
petition, bicycle races, largest loads
of people and everything that would
make a drawing card was resorted to.
The town was beautifully decorated
with arches, evergreens, mottoes and
bunting flags were flying from nearly
every available place. Processions
were formed after the arrival of each
train, headed by one or more bands.
At 9,30 a lacrosse match was called
between the Hurons, of Godericb,
and the Beavers, of Seaforth, which
resulted in a victory for Seaforth in
four straights . After the arrival of
the afternoon train, a procession was
formed in the following order, at
Victoria Park and marched through
the 'principal streets, to Fairview
Park, where the competitions took
place:
The first division under Lieut, Col,
Wilson, preceded by the Berlin brass
band, was composed of the Goderich
cadets, Sarnia hook and ladder com-
pany, Berlin hose company, Blyth
hose company.
The second division was under
Capt S Hays: Baden band, Stratford
G T R hose company, Caledonia
company, Caledonia hook and lad-
der company, East Toronto hose
company.
Third division under F Coleman,
