FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895.
,Election or Appointment.
The platform of the Patrons of In-
dustry contains a number of good
planks, most of which meet with our
approval, but there is one therein
which we have never believed inf and
though we have discussed it before, we
refer to it again, simply because it
may be considered at the ptesent time
a "live issue." We refer to "the elec-
tion of all _ officials -save county
judges."
•' Dome persons are honestly of the
opinion that it would be better to have
such officials as Registrars, Sheriffs,
Division Court Clerks, Ac., elected by
the people, instead of appointed by the
Goverdinent, as at present. We do
not believe that it would be so.
• At the present time the Registrar-_
ship •of thisc2flfn"iy rs""'vacant. •It is
supposed to be about the best paid of-
fice at the disposal of the Local govern-
ment in the county. It is said that
there are a large number of applicants
for it, and each one is, presumably, do-
ing his best to secure the prize. For
the sake of argument we will assume
that all the applicants think they have
a claim to it, and will use whatever
influence they possess to get it. Ir.
the course of time tbe government
will appoint some one of the applicants
to the vacancy. The lucky person
may not be the most deserving one,
in a political sense, or still he may.
At any rate the appointment will be
made without any cost whatever to
the people, without any confusion, ex-
cept to the persons directly interested,
and the probabilities are that whoever
gets it will be quite capable of dis-
charging the duties of the position.
According to the plank of thePatron
platform, this method of procedure is
wrong. Speakers have vigorously de-
nounced it and writers for the press
have dwelt upon the iniquity of a
government appointing its own friends
to these offices. Let us suppose, for
argument. that the vacancy is to be
filled by election. There would, at any
, rate, be just as many aspirants under
one system a.s under the other. We
think more under the latter than the
former. At any rate the main differ-
ence would be that both Liberals and
Conservatives would be among the
aspirants. Every man who was after
the office would naturally use all the
influence he could to strengthen him-
self; it rnight be society influence, or
church, or political, or all combined.
the electorate would be stirred up
pretty much the same as in an crdin•
.-ary election, political feeling would
likely rya high, and in ,the end, when
the election took place, the probabili-
ties are. judging by contests for County
• Council positions, and also taking the
.experience of the United Stater!, that
it would resolve itself into a political
..contest pure and simple.
In the one case the appointment rs
'made by a central authority, without
any disturbance to the feelings of the
community; and without any cost.
` tl the Other, the election affects the
whole community more or leas, at con-
siderable cost.
Now wherein has the elective sys-
tem any advantage oyer the appoint-
, ting? To say that in the case of a po-
• pular, choice a letter than may be se -
•r cured is only asetitnptive, for the
get tion of an tounitirb1e Berson it gtiite

and ive fail tosee any advantage what-
ever that would accrue to the commun-
ity by a change in this direction. On
the contrary, it seems to us that the
stdpptign of the ee tve system, wheth-
er for Local or Dominion positions,
would only be a step backward.
We have only considered one point
in this article -that is the methotl of
filling these offices, and if any of Nair
readers would like to discuss the ques-
tion, our columns are open for com-
munications on either side. We will
haven() hesitation in publishing letters,
even if they demolish our own argu-
ments, so long as they are a fair dis-
cussion of the subject.
Everybody will be glad to learn that
the Manitoba wheat crop is a large

One of the superannuated Civil Ser-
vice employees at 'Ottawa receives a
salary of $2,709 a year. This would be
a good salary for a man at work, let
alone for one who does nothing.
When the Rev. Mr Coburn stood up
in the pulpit of Woodgreen Methodist
church, Toronto, on Sunday, and in
the course of an Crange sermon used
the language he is reported to have
used concerning Roman Catholics and
others, he showed that he was unfit
for the work he is professedly engaged
in, and the Conference to which he
belongs should handle hint just the
way he handled his subject.

OPEN THE STREET.
7'o £1ee Editor of the Clinton New Era.
DEAR SIR: -As one interested in the
opening up of Isaac street, I hope the
petition which- I see was presented to
the Clinton Council at its last meeting,
will have the desired effect. I under-
stand the petition was largely signed,
and I am not at all surprised ,at that.
Any one who is compelled to enter
town by the present Bayfleld road,
knows the great inconvenience exper-
ienced by the shunting and passing of
trains. Ever since the station was
moved to its present location farmers
have been compelled to use the great-
est care to avoid accidents, to say no-
thing of the delays that are often ex-
ceedingly annoying. I do not blame
the railway for it, as there is appar-
ently no help for it at present. The
wonder to me is that the trouble has
been endured so long without pretest.
However, since the matter is before
the council, I hope something will be
done to overcome the difficulty. The
cost may be more than the council
feels warranted iu undertaking, but
the assistance of other municipalities
may be secured. At any rate,, ieQMt.
.lay might be the lnettns of saving life.
Certainly it would make the approach
to your town safer, and I hope to see
steps taken that will either open the
street, as petitioned for, or provide
some other way of entering town than
by the present Bayfield read. Yours,
ONE DEEPLY INTERESTED.

An Important Visit
It is a well-known fact that many cases
of Hernia (rupture) in childhood have been
cured by the specialist whose announce -
meat appears in another column -cases
which others could not relieve temporarily
even by retention of the parts. In fact,
cases by ethers considered hopeless, while
it has been this gentleman's good fortune
to successfully treat all such, and any man
or women of sense must acknowledge that
an appliance that can accomplish such a
result in an salve, restless child -incap-
able of realizing its danger -must prove
equally sno:essful in even severe cases of
adults who possess sufficient •judgment to
exercise ordinary care and '•utelligence-
Your child's life, perhaps your -ow ay
depend on this notice. Rememb

more trouble or anxiety. Don't miss this
opportunity; should you put it off now a

and physicians in our neighborhood.
