GLOBE IDIOSYYCRACU,'S.
The (Globe commences au edi-
torial in Friday's isene with :—
"S r J .h . amt hie fe'luwe a a e dug
their beat, after n f ish+on, to cheat the
vietOrleue tn.aren of th eJonnroic rent'
meat w•tiuh goes by the oe•ne of Lure-
stria:e l trade."
But in another place in the same
article coulee a check to the "vic-
totious march" by the ackuow-
ledgement that :—
"Leherser e.,t n.'reuse dtahearteeed,
therrf ,re, cath r at their dote it at the
pills or," ate.
Then Sir John has not only the
beet of it at the polls, but au ad mis-
sion is wade that he will have the
best of it in the House, though the
adtuissiou is only a half hearted one
in these words :--
"Sir Joh r has not merely co ..cnemis
the et nit L.:beral nr .nrori y in the Nut
of iteelt nu smell job "
Now it is not customary for those
who have been "victorious:" at the
polls, to be cheered by words of
encouragement to not feel
at their defeat at the
polls." Or to acknowledge that
they will have only a "minority in
the House," though that minority
be never so "stout."
It is uumbere that tell on a
division in the House. It may be
true that Sir John and his majority
of at least 30 will probably be term-
ed a brute majority by the stout
Crrtwright and the gentle M. C.
Cameron, but they will go on all
the same legislating in the interests
of the country as they have done
for the past thirteen years. .And
the stout minority will probably
exercise their lungs in windy
speeehea to the obs+ruction of
public business, all the while
loaded with invective adjec-
tives which they will have delved
into obsolete dictionaries for, and
loaded themselves up with, for the
purpose or checking the victorious
match of the Tory economic move-
ment tt hick goes by the name of
of reciprocity or mutual benefit
trade.
But Sir John, according to the
Globe, has not only to overcome a
"stout Liberal majority in the
House," but
"He has to face an entire uomntuuity
whose ie poveriehed condition, to say
not'tiers cf .their native intelligence,
enables 1 in to grasp the troth of Adam
5ro;ttr'e saying iu hie chapter on colonial
policy .,•at'to prohibit a great Ieople
from n,at,rug all they eau c f every p.•rt
of tnei: own produce, or from employ-
ing thei &tock ami industry in the way
that 'hey judge most advantageous to
t`irin e!. ee, is a manifest violation of the
tenet r of. Ed rrr,htN of mankind'. v
We were under the impression
that. Sir John has just faced what
we understand is the "entire com-
munity whose (alleged) impoverish-
ed condition, to say nothing of
their native intelligence, enables
them to grasp the truth" of that
Adam Smith or any one else says.
And a large majority of the
entire community have approved of
Sir John A. Macdouald's interpre-
tation of the Wealth of Nations.
They grasped the truth that free
trade with the United States would
prohibit this great Canadian:people,
our farmers, from making all they
can of their produce, by admitting
free the enormous and cheap
surp]ns of an agricultural country
-of 60,000,000 to comrete in our
limited market of 5,000,000 of
people.
But it is possible, when the Globe
refers to Sir John having to face an
entire community of impoverished
condition, that it had in its mind's
eyo magnified the stout minority
into that aggregation of impover-
ished intelligence. That the stout
minority is impoverished the Globe
should know, for if ever a party
made a stout big push, and lavished
money where it would do most
good, it was the Grit party in the
recent elections. And it is believed
no where more snecessfully than in
West Huron. They will likely re-
main impoverished if they have to
remain poor until they get the
opportunity of plundering the
public treasury of the Dominion,
as they seem to have fondly imagin-
ed they were on the verge of
doing.
THE CANADIAN CATTLE
TRA I)E.
Tho Grube of Saturday published
an account of a large purchase of
Canadian cattle for export. Man -
days Nene confirms the former
statement as iu the annexed :—
'The Wort -maims published on Satan •

of whioh eoremind as much money Ce
any mea engaged iu the div a stook export
t.•ade, Jt is reported that Mrs te. Gold-
smith anal Mori is are likely to deal ex-
' naively in Canadian cattle in the future.
\lr, Goldsmith stated that ooe of his
vac ons for engaging in tie Canadian
wads teas that Canadian tante were allow
<d 'o be tckat info the ccuntry in Great
Britain and held, while the Americans
had to be slaughtered immediately, and
thin gave the Canadian exporters an ad-
rantar,A, as when the markets were bad
they could herd their cattle and were
not forced to sett."
Now there are two important ad-
missione in this extract that the
Globe sedulously refrained from
making during the elections -
1. That Canadian cattle bring
higher prices thau American cattle
do, 2. That the reason for this is
our better position in the markets
of Great Britain, which better posi-
tion we would lose under unre
striated reciprocity, as our cattle
would be scheduled and admitted
into Britaiu only on similar con-
ditions with American cattle.
As to prices, the lowest figure
given as above in Toronto is $5.75
for good steers which in Chicago
bring only $3.70 to $4.55.
Bulls in Toronto sell at $4.50, in
Chicago $2.'0 to $3.90.
The various grades of cattle sell
in Detroit and Chicago for from
$1 to $2 per cwt. less than in
Toronto. The same can be said
about hogs And the low market
of 60,000,000 people with a corree•
ponding number of live stock is
what the Grits want Cauadians to
discriminate against the rnother
country in order to obtain.
It is quite evident that Britain is
the market for the great bulk of
Canadian farm produce as it is the
market for the surplus of American
farm produce.
AN ORANGE CONSER VA TI VE, !
The Globe of Saturday publishes
a letter purporting to have been
written by an Oeauge Conservative
who commences his epistle by say-
ing :—
"Ae you w r, eee by my card, enclosed
herewith, 1 a a a Conservative. 1 come
o: ultra -Tot v Orange stock, am myself a
member of that loyal inetitution, and
suopoited the Conservative party at the
last election, as I have done in the past!
Nevertheless I believe in the annexation
of Canada to the United States, or more
properly, a political inion of the two
eountiiee."
Then he goes on to say :—
"gapy of my fellow Orangemen would
hive voted for political union and the
Grits had they thought the Grits really
meant it."
This delightfully conscienceless
and obtuse Orange Conservative tri-
umphantly asks :—
"Where is the treason in eaying we
prefer a republic to a monarchy?"
The Globe does not deign to
answer, because, probably, it would
have to say its late preachments had
been directed to prove that a r'epub•
tic is preferable to a monar)hy.
This uniquely loyal screed winds
up with :—
"I had intended giving a few of my
own reasons for thinking political union
is the he. thing for Canada, but having
trespassed too much ou your ep•tce just
n',w, shall, with pour permission, give
thrse re:teens iu a future isene."
"AN Donee!: CONSERVATIVE."
It is difficult to imaging the ex-
istence of an Orangeman who pre-
fers annexation to the United States
or to any other country to fealty to
British institutions. The writer of
the letter referred to is either a
fraud, or a fool, or a perjurer.
A fraud, because if he bo an
Orangeman, or even conversant
with the obligations of ono, he
would know that lie is solemnly
bound to support the British mon-
archy.
A fool, because the general public
know that loyalty to Britain is a
sine qua non of Orangeism ; and he
must be a fool or take others to bo
fools when he seeks to make them
believe that any man could be an
Orangeman and hold tho views he
expresses.
A perjurer, because he declares
his willingness to violate the chief
obligation he took when he became
an Orangeman, who is buuud to
support the Altar and the Turune.
A scan eau no more be ttu Orange -
wan and hold the viowe of "An
Or'auge Coueervatit.." tilos he can
ba a Christian and declare his die
belief in Christ and His teachings.
Aud, though the lrriuoiples of Cou-
servativee are not so clearly deflued
as those of Oraugeistn, he might as
well say he was a Christiau while
denying hie belief in the Bible, as
to say he is a Conservative while
anxious for anueyatiou 4o the
United Staten.
The Globe is very credulous when
it adds as a foot note to the most
dishonorable and stultityiug letter
we have referred to :—
[Our correspondent ie eutirely mi,tak-
en in supposing Ole, the Liberal pat 1)

ED. GLOBe,1
The Conservatives god Orangemen
would not have beeu quite willing
to vote for annexation. The Globe
knows better, and has no right to
say so because a fraud or fool writer
writes such insufferable uouseuse.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Parliament is called to meet on
the 29th of April.
Mayor Birkett, of Ottawa, has
been unseated because lie had an
unpaid bill against the city at the
time of his election.
The exhibit of Canadian farm
and dairy products at the Jamaica
Exposition is likely to open up a
market for these products through-
out the West Indies.
Toronto city council sat down on
woman suf:'rage, and Hon. Mr.
Mowat sat down ou it too in reply
to Mr. Waters, the Women's
Righter in the Legislature.
Statistics laid before the Legis-
lature by Hon. Minister of Educa-
tion Ross show that the compulsory
attendance of children at school
would tend to the reduction of
juvenile offences.
Rev. Howard McQueary, of the
Protestaut Episcopal Church of Can-
ton, Ohio, has been suspended from
the ministry for six months because,
among other heresies, he holds
"that Christ's resurrection body was
not that body which was crucified
and laid in the sepulchre." If he
retracts he will be reinstated.
The Empire and :]fail have re-
cently been stirred up by the
circulation fiend.' The Empire has
put up $8,000 which it proposes to
forfeit if it cannot show that it has
the largest circulation of any morn-
ing paper in the Dominion. The
Mail to forfeit a like amount if the
Empire snakes its assertion good,
which the Mail has characterised as
false.
The Ingersoll mayoralty case was
up before His Honor Judge Finkle
last Thursday again, the purpose of
the iuvestigation being to ascertain
how it was that a majority of 11 for
Mr. Stevens became by a recount a
majority of 24 for Mr. Buchanan.
All of the deputy returning officers
and poll clerks engaged in the elec-
tion were examined and all testified
to the accuracy of the original
couut, giving Mr. Stevens the
majority. The investigation threw
no light on the cause of the dis-
crepancy. The case will he further
proceeded with before the courts in
Toronto.
North Bruce did nobly for Mc-
Neill in the last election. Dr
Bonner, the Grit• Candidate got
over 200 votes put on at the last
revision and the Conservatives,none
because they neglected to attend
to it. After all, McNeil won by a
good majority. We find it the
same all along the election line.
Wherever a Conservative candidate,
who formerly represented a Riding,
was defeated or had his majority
reduced it was owing to the
negligence of Conservatives in re-
gard to the voters' lists and to tho
vigilance of the Reformers. Both
Weet and East Huron were lost in
this way, the latter in the last two
elections.
THE HURON Nwwe-RE.00ao moat
be "well paid" for its staunch sup
port of the existing Government,
often say both friend and fue. We
acknowledge the corn. We are
amply remunerated with the con-
soiousuese of devoting what ability
we may possess to the furtherance of
the beat intoreetl of our native
country. But when it cornea to
dollate and ceuts let us see where
the pay comes iu. The Auditor
General's Report fur the year ending
June 1890 shows that the NEwe-
REOOItp receive' from the Govern-
ment $14 40. We dou't rleny it,
wouldn't if we could. And we
gave dollar fur dollar value for that
munificent fourteen dollars and
forty cents.
The New York Sun says :—Sir
John A. Macdonald, the Canadian
statesmen, is one of the moat dis-
tinguished -looking men in the Do-
minion. His face is very strik ing,
and either it or its pictures will at
once suggest a strong likeness to—
whom do you suppose l A differ-
ent man to every different observer.
Some say that he looks like Beecher,
othere that he closely resembles
Geo. Washington, others still that
his face and Beujamin Disraoli's are
alike as two peas, and yet others
assert that the excellent likeness of
him in the current Harper's
Weekly is also a likeness of Edwin
Booth. As a matter of fact Sir
John does resemble all these famous
persons and many other famous and
good men.
United States assistant secretary
of the treasury has ruled that a
registration in the Canadian Ilorse
Register is not of itself sufficient to
entitle Canadian horses to free
ectry under the provision of the
tariff for "Pure blood anim•tls of a
recoguizod breed." This is a proper
ruling agrinst pedigree books which
recognize "crosses" as pure bred.
One can understand Perciteron,
Clyde, Shire or Suffolk being recog-
nized as a pure breed, but a mixture
of any or all of these is not. One
can underatand Caucasian, Indian or
Negro as a recognized race, but an
intermixture of any or all of these
could not be so recognized. Some
of the Canadian stud books recog-
nize a mixture of distinct breeds of
horses. 'finis mixture or crossing
destroys their purity in any ono
breed. The Canadian cnetome au-
thorities will likely adopt the same
standard as the Americans Piave.
'God's plan is best, namely, thi,t
every man and every community
should follow its own bent and sell
their product in the best market and
got its pay iu that which it likes
best." This is a quotation from an
American froo trade writer, quoted
approvingly by the Globe, to which
it adds its own comment: "The ex-
perience of the Canadian farmer is
all in favor of the divine policy."
Neither the American writer nor the
Globe give any data in proof that
they know more about God's plan
in trade matters than any other or•
dinary mortal does. The plan they
outline is, however, man's plan. It
is the plan followed by the most in-
telligent community on the face of
the earth, the Canadian people.
They have decided that their best
market is that of the whole world ;
not that of the United States alone.
They have decided that they will
gat restrict their trade to dealings
with the neighboring republic and
discriminate againat Britain and all
the rest of mankind.
A gentleman who has watched
the course of events in West Iluron
very closely, and who hart favor-
able opportunities for doing so,
writes us :—"I notice that Mr.
Cameron in his address the evening
of the election thanked the Con-
servatives who voted for him and
assured them that his services at
Ottawa would be brought to bear
upon the Government of Sir John
A. Macdonald in their favor.
Those petty office seekers will now
possess their soul in peace. Ilave
they not Mr. Cameron's assurance
that he will see that their hitherto
unrecognized services are rewarded
because they voted against the
power that could reward them 1 I
hope all thoee staunch Torie,c who,
by their desertion of the party on
the 5th contributed to Mr. Camer-
on's success aro highly delighted.
Loudly professing one thing, they
ardently voted for another. Loyal
men l Do you woneler mon get
tired of politica, when your friends,
charmed by the dolueive prospect
of gaining a few cents, desert the
putty in the tuidet of a strenuous
conttiot for a great principle, nay,
for a nation's very life 1"
