erie there bo one public vice more dingly disgusting than another your sneaking, cringing toady, | fawning worshipper of the its straw, and in no other quarter does this vice display itself so prom- inently as in the pap craving press. Is there a thing in our midst who through a combination of ignorance, cheok and fawning may have slipped into some position with which tronage may be connected, it may railway or some other public ice or work. The toadies get on the track of the dispenser of pap, fall down and worship him when- ever he approaches, his every look and act are commented on in the most fulsomo adulatory tones, the reveral canditintes for the pap strive as to which ean lay on the plaster with greatest prodigality." If James or John as the case may be only opens his mouth no dog is allowed to bark till he has done. If he raises his finger the sycophants lick the dust and wait his behest gaping for an ad. or few bills. From the less to the groater the principle is continued, a few short weeks ago (the Grit press wae unceasing and unbounded in their. pexns of praise and hnmble adoration of the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie whom it would seem they all delighted to honor to the extent in which he filled their mouths with good things drawn from® governmental sources and when the praises came thicker and faster than nsual the exnberant "Braun" of Public Works Depart- ment notoriety would be found figuring more largely in the adver- tising columns of that issue, the in- exhaustible " Braun" being only the hand by which the immaculate Mackenzie fed his worshippers. This went on from year to year during the entire reign of Alexander the little, and from the infensity of the worship one might well suppose that the Grit oracles wonld"forget their love for pap ere they would forget their idol Alex. But no rooner is the creature of their worship driven forever from place and power than the ungateful sinners turn their backs an him, ceaso to swear by him and run over his remains in seekipg to get at his successor the now bearer of the white straw, the prospective pap d'stributor, It is not enongh for these Grit lights to ignore their late preserver, bnt they must needs insult him by filling np every spare earner of their sheets with the likeness of Sir John A. followed and sarrounded by a full and complete history of himself and his progenators from the days of Adam down to the 17th ot Sept. 1878, winding up with the fervent prayer that Sir John may live and reign for ever and ever, The Ottawn Free Press and the Montreal Witness gritty, more gritty, most gritty arestraining their ingenuity to the last point in their endeavor the one to excel the other in their adoration of the "Great Sir John." Sir John's likeness in every imaginable attitude grace their sheefs from day th day and when it became doubtful #8 to whom the palm of obeisance shonld be awarded the Witness distanced his' competitor by placing Sir John's likeness in the centre of the sheet and surrounding it with a massive border. Such is life. A Move i the Right Direction. " The sins of Halifax are agitating fora reduction inthe cost of civic govern. ment and a lower rate of taxation." This is as it ought to be and not in honr too soon our entire system municipal, legislative and parlia- entary governments is ripe, aye, ripe for change. So far as 'minor municipalities are concerned, *h as townships, viliages and "economy of government is d to ita utmost limit, but there Iotaof room for improvement in J h of economy as well as " Jounty affairs and a de- y | that of the other has a no less claim rer must be affected in the annual ex-~ penditare of this county and men who are not both able and willing to aid in the accomplishing of so de- sirable an object has no business at who surround the management of the county affairs of most counties extravagant figure. We don't ask those rings, we dont ask county Lioineilng if these things are to be | put a stop to, but we ask the honest, bear the burden and get none of the spoils, are these things to continue? If the ratepayers desire to ancom- plish so desirable an object they can do it at once by kueping three things in view, firat by sending no man to the county council who is not thoroughly capable of investi gating into and fully comprehead- ing the several expenditures of the e unty--second, that he be able to place his views intelligently and torcibly before the council with a view to their adoption, and third that he pledge himselt to use his best efforts in securing a very considerable diminution in the general expenditure of the county. This will be a first and by no means (unimportant step in the direction of general retrenchment which must of necessity be iptroduced into every department of our public expend- itare. The 'eurtailment of our county expenditure need not in the slighteut degree militate against the efficiency of management, on the con- trary a judicious application of the pruning knife is quite consistent with a still greater efficiency in the conduct of our pulilic affairs; and if ever there was a tine more than an other when decided action was de- manded in the direction of economy it it now. We would say to the electors one und all let us go in for vigorous legislation, securing the most rigid economy compatable with the proper conduct of the public business. The tax payers are sick of unnecessary burdens but especi- ally at this time they have no dis- position to bear them, and why shonld they be asled to bear more than is absolutely necessary. The matter is entirely in the hands of the electors if they: wish a continuance of the present extravagance let them asin times past go into the election in the happy go-eary style putting in favorites without the slightest re- gard as to their fitness for the posi tion. So long as the electors pursue such a course just so long will ex- travagant and vicious legislation whether county, provincial or Dominion, curse the country and burden the people. The Workman is Worthy of His Hire. Perbaps at no previous period in the world's history have the truth and importance of the above propos. ition been nore practically ignored oan one side aud more stoutly vin- dicated on the other; the workman and employer are by no means one on this subject and the result is an almost continual strife often in their most aggrivated form strikes, lock: outs, and breaches of the peace. The march of intelligence has lifted the workmen far above the sphere of the patient plodding serf who ox- pected nothing more than the hum- blest fare and the coarsest garments The employer then too moved in an atmosphere very much beneath that of the_employer of tho present day; and while he exercised almost ubsolute sway over his workmen his rod was comparitively light and the workmen knew no better and had no means of knowirg. But the glorious march of intellect has rais- ed all classes far above the condition of theso days and the active intelli- gent 'workman has experienced much tho greater change until he is now in every respect equal to his omployer, enjoys all the privileges be does as well civil religious and political ; his children bave an equal chance in the great race of life with those of his employer they all enjoy the same educational faculties and the future of all depend to a great extent upon personal effort. All this is as it ought to be and we have reason to feel proud that it is so. The em- ployer regards bis money and mater ial as his capital while the work: man with equal justice regards his labor and skill as his capital and no less important to bim 'than the money of the employer is to him, and while the capital of the one has claims 1 protection and a fair return to protection and a fair return.-- The truth ot this is partly admitted by the employer but the fair return the workman's capital 1s the t on which the employer and ployed don't at all reem to see ) this is the cause of all the industrious ratepayers, those who | Workmen naturally demur at this and assert that their unreduced wages are no more than sufficient to maintain them and their familes and that employers look for too consequences. In this direction d these unions whether of employers or employees directly point and plainly indicate that the just and legit mate claims of the workmen to to a fair day's pay for a fair day's work cannot be ignored with safoty. The issue will prove that "right | is mightand knowledge is power," and right certainly rests on the side of the workmen. "At a meeting of the employers' com- mittee at Glasgow the other day to consider the proposed reduction of wages, memorials from boiler makers, shipbuilders, shipwrighte and blacksmiths were presented, asking con- cessions in the proposed reduction of wages, The employers finally decided to enforce s full reduction of 7§ per cent. The exccu. tive committees of the Clyde and Liverpool branches of the United Sotiety of Uoiler- makers and Iron Shipbuilders unanimously adupted the resolution te quit work. The above society number over twenty thousand and has forty thousand pounds in the general fund, There is every prospect tha the Clyde will again be the kcene of & long and d termined struggle, the effects of which considering the present depression of trade will be most disastrous, A deep gloom is settling down over the commercial interests of Glasgow," " They are baving a fight in British Col- umbia against the progress of eheap, Chinese Iabor, in the kitchen; but so far John scems to have the advantage. -- The Chinese are mot an agreeable race nor should they be encouraged. They have proved a moral curse in most quarters where they have penetrated on this Contin. ent." Workmen ought not to tolerate the competition of Chinese in the labor market, their influence is de- grading wherever they They exist on a scale little above the brute and their wants are not more numerous and they can liveand save money on wages that would famish a rational being. Were that day ever to como when the present de- graded class of Chinese should be allowed to compete the labor market with enlightened workmen it would be a dark day for the world. go. in Expensive Toys. On careful investigation it has been found that old jealous fighting Europe prefers starving and killigg their children to educating them.-- In Britain, for overy cent paid for achools six are paid for soldiers. In France they pay sixteen times as much for military purposes as they do for schools. Italy pays twelve times as much for military purposes as for schools. Prussia pays four and a- half times as much for sol diers as for schools. Austria puys four times as much for military as for schools. But the United States ot America pay three dollars for schools for every two they pay for military purposes.

Is it at all to be wondered at that socialism and com - munism should be rampant in these lands of oppression and despotism ? SE---- A Disastrous Fire. We regret to learn that Mr, Robert How. sam, lot 1 in the 4th con of Reach, had his barn with all its contents destroyed by fire on the night of Satmday, 26th inst. The barn contained over 600 bushels of untbrash. ed oats, 140 bushels of uathrashed peas, 100 bushels of wheat and 50 bushels of barley and all were consumed. The live stock of which he had a fine lot, were all saved as also his machines and implements, Mr, Howsam's loss will exceed $1,000 only $300 of which are covered by insurance, viz. $200 on the barn and $100 on the contents, The fire took place about 10 p. m, and must have been the work of an incendiary or the culpable carelessness of some party who took refugein' the barn, for no one of the family had any fire near the barn and no one who knows Mr. Howsam would in* jure him in any way, He is deservedly esteemed by all who know him, he is an honest upright man with a highly estimable family and all sympathise with them in their loss. -- A Worthy Object.
