Editor. PORT PERRY, OCT. 3, 1878. Carrying the War into Africa. The question is being put on all hands, What effect will the present bange of political front have on the government employees, will there be a thorough cleaning out of the whole fraternity or will a few of the less demonstrative office holders be allowed to retain their positions under the new regime? While we by no means go in for the clean sweep system we do say that there are many, very many now in the civil service ranks who have no right to be there, even allowing that they were competent, which would bo allowing too much, their conduct during the latecontest entitles them to immediate expulsion from office of any kind ander the government. Of course these who bave made themselves conspicuous in their acts of hostility, in their unscrupulous "attempts to prevent parties voting against the Mackenzie Government, those who have done most of the lying against the Opposition may expect to be scorched and such will only serve them right, and those who hare made themselves obnox- in this way had better hand in their resignations without delay and thus soften a fall that cannot now be pre vented. Hud they conducted them. selves on a.ything approaching to henorable principles they might have retained office under the Con- gervative rule for the next fifty years or longer if their tives should be preserved. It is no Conservative pricciple, however, to Teisligie upon a fallen foe and doubtless merey will season justice even in these cases where the offenders have but little to hope for. Official insolenco is al- ways unbearable but when carried to the length it was during the past contest it was #"little too much of a good thing. Let the guilty parties hurry up their resignations while it is not yet too late, and let the less guilty go to their marrow bones at _oncé and plead for that to which they have no claim--mercy. a Changing their Tune. But a few weeks ago the Minis- terial party with a blind infatuation 10 less stupid than presumptuous crowed over the victory they were about to achieve, threatening the Opposition with such a whipping at the polls as would make them stay - whipped. Put since the tables have been turned on the Grit braggarts, 'since they have beon defeated. ~eruched and almost extirpated, they have changed their (unos and now ome whining for merey'and cringing pardon for the Mowat Govern- tin the most approved "pity sorrows' style.

Are their bands not badly oiled in the contral prison job? Where did they get the $3,000 for the free distribution of the Tribune? Aud are they not at this day fostering, nursing and keep- ing warm t! at costly burleeque, that nest of extravagance, that devourer of poor men's properties, the Chan- cery court. The list might be ex- tended to any length, but enough has been said to show bow unworthy the Mowat Government are of the seats they disgrace and from which they ought to and doubtless will be driven on the first opportunity which presents itself, -- A House Divided Against Itself. The Grit organs are at swords points as to the cause of the com- plete overthrow and demoralization of the ministerial party in the late elections. The Toronto Globe with a retiring modesty characteristic of that organ, attributes' the whole disaster to the ignorance and stupid - ity of the average elector. The Hamilton Times that thoroughly soaked and ingrained Grit. sheet, throws the entire blame on poor Patullo the manofacturer of Grit candidates and of Grit statisties.-- The average Grit casts the eatire responsibility and blame on the Toronto Globe and its blustering but unreliable and now fallen chief. The Quebec Grit Rouges say Mr. McKenzie has been the " Achan in tho Camp." They may fight away better for the country that these should be fighting over the cause of their do- feat than it they bad been fighting over the spoils of victory. Con- servatives may well afford to look on and smile, they hnow " what's the matter." They know that the combined intelligence, independence and patriotism of the electors at the polls secured the complete destruc- tion of the Ministerial party. -- Our Markets. In a country like Canada where Agricultural pursuits are and al- ways will conlinue to be the chief pursuit of the greatest number of her sons. The state of the markets especially of the grain will continue to be regarded with more than or- dinary interest such, being properly speaking, the criterion by which the pay of the farmer is regulated, the amount of reward he shall receive for his toil. The time has been when there was much risk and anxigty in our produce market, our markets (hen as now were regulated not by the home figure but by Liverpool quotations and these could only be ascertained at intervals of two weeks or longer and buyers ani sollers both ran considerable risk, the farmer at selling for less than the market price and the latter at paying more; they might be buying and selling away for a couple of weeks at four or five cents a bushel above or below the market price and it was only when the next mail came from Liverpool that they came lo learn whether the adventure they were making was profitable or other wise or whother the buyer or seller had the best of the venturv--it cer- tainly was pretty mach ofa venture. Now, however, all this has been at any moment the prices just then being paid for grain in the Liverpool market; so that all parties know what they are doing. The markets for the present year have by no means a gloomy appear ance and had our crops been any- thing like what they are on fair soasons, the outlook of the market would have been cheering. It is true that the Liverpool market of to day is by no- means flattering as to the price of wheat but the indica. tions so far are only surface and are influenced very materially by the inferior stuff of home procuce.-- The demand for good American is The contingntal demand for good American is lively and somewhat firm with an upward tendency, and should the present excitement in sd | should the courted war be likely to place prices in the grain market | rise to a bigh figure at onco.-- nder all ciretmstances wheat in the nce of any war excitement ought very likely will sell for nearer tho dollar than ninety cents a bushel ght excitement will does not concern him in the least. anybody, or worthy a whole disaster, the prices will hover round 35 ots. Peas will sell well from 66 to 70 cts. Potatoes have heen a rather poor yield but the prices will in some manner compensate-- prices will likely be high creeping around 50 cts. : Hay too will be highly, remuner- ative in price when the yield is con- sidered, So that so far as the oul. look in the matter of prices goes the prospect is rather cheerful than otherwise; but when the yield is taken iuto account the late harvest has doubtless been an unfortunate one to very many of our honest, in- dustrious farmers. Send it Round. It was thought by many that an attempt would be made to secure the permanent location of the pro- vincial shows in the City of Toronto, and very many supposed that the attempt would prove successful. -- The result of the vote at the anumal meeting sets this matter at rest; and of a total vote of 157 only 45 went for evem giving Toronto a second year of the show. This wus a stun- ner to the advocates of the centraliz- ing system and Ald. Withrow when the pet was on him declared that Toronto would hold an annual show of her own. Doubtless they will have their annual exhibition and then they will only be following the example of all other places of any importance throughout the provinco, which all have their annual exhibit fons and all mititate against the success of the provincial shows.-- These central shows are sapping the foundations of the provincial shows, and wo beliove that the time is not tar distant when it will become a serious question whether or not the provincial expenditure on that show is judicious, whether the province gots value for the money expended. The fact of Guelph London, Ham- ilton and now Toronto all going in for central shows being established the provincial shows will be strip- ped of their principal use and at- traction. Let the central shows go on and let there be an interprovincial show between Ontario and Quebec, say once in two or three years and let the present mode of provincials be discontinued. The bursting of the present system is only a matter of time and it may be the sooner the better. S-- To Correspondents. E.
