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 ..t.t...._ ...ir__.a Ilikely, 9 Ow appolntmen.>fi kgQAe, 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, and has, apparently, escaped the frost. 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. CORR ESPONDEN CE. (We aro in no way responsible for anything appearing under this heading,-Enj 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. Crisp County Clippings W. T. Bates, of Wingltam, the grocer, has sold his stock to Norman Farquhar, a popular man of the town. John Crozier has purchased the Brother - son farm The lot contains 100 acres and the price paid was $3,500.

Wood, rector of St. Paul's (Episcopal) church, Wingbam, is away to Toronto on six week's visit. The holiday is taken principally on kin/Wood's account, as she has been in poor health for some time past. Mrs Rueben Grimoldby, Walton, is very low at present, and there are alight hopes of her recovery. Dropsy and an affeotion of the heart are the cause. She has been tapped twice, and a quantity of water and matter extra.;ted. We regret to learn that Mre. Wm. Storry, sr. of Mckillop, met with an accident on the 22nd ult., by falling on the doorstep, injur- ing her right hand and wrist. She suffered severely.
