and from as many new ones as feel kind

condition to fill promptly every order

On January LIST their immense ware
house was destroyed by fire. 1t was filled
with probably the largest stock of assert,
ed seeds ever gathered under one roof
Their books and papers were all saved,
and every person who had ordered seeds
of them will be supplied with his usua'
stock. They had large quantities of seeds
in their warehouses on their seed farms,
in the hands of their growers and not vel

which, together with their fully stocked
branch Seed Store in Windsor, Ontario,
close at hand, and the free and vigorous
use Of the telegraph and cable, enabled
them to secure a new stock in a remarka.

Monday President Cleveland favored
the Senate with an extraordinary docu.
ment in the shape of a message" We
have not room for the full text. The
message is all based on a misstatement
made in its first paragraph. Ever since
the beginning Of the present session of
the Senate" the President says, Com.
mittees of the Senate, and the Senate
itself have been requiring the transmits
sion of reasons for the suspension of GER
tain officials" He then goes on to at
tack the report of the Judiciary Commit
tee on the ground that it censures the At
torney.G Genera for refusing to transmit
certain papers relating to a suspension
from office. The Senate resolution call
ing for the papers contains, not a word
about reasons for suspensions. II calls
for papers that may have been fled
In relation to the management and con-
duct of an office covering a period Of
over six months of the time of the pres
emf incumbent and over six months of
the time of his predecessor. From such
false premises he proceeds to argue that
the Senate has no right to review the act
of the Executive in removing or suspend
ing q public officer.

The Presidents Power of Removal.


If an officer is removed from his post,
at the pleasure of the appointing power
and for purely party reasons, if you
please, the removal casts no discredit
upon his character.
If the rule is laid down, however, that
no removal is to be made except for cause
it becomes q distinct ~imputation against a
man to remove him from office.
Where this rule is adopted, therefore,
justice demands that the facts which lead
to the removal should be made known.
not only to the officer affected, but to the
people, in order that they may Judge
whether the accusation has been estab.
lished or not.
Either the power to remov persons
from office should be exercised in such a
manner as to make removal possible
without reproach to the removed officer,
or the reasons for turning him out should
be stated in every instance as a matter of
public record.
To say to the world, II have removed
this man from Office for cause-that is,
because he has proved unfit and unfaith.
full as a public servant" and at the same
time to say, "but will not let the people
or their representatives know what mis-
conduct is alleged against him." is to as
sumo the despotic power to destroy char
acter without question.

NOTES.
The Education bill, the BANKRUPTCY
bill, and other important measures are
awaiting action by the United States
Senate, and have for some time been
postponed by dilatory action by the SEN
ate' The coming week promises to be a

The President has completed a message
upon the question Of suspensions and
the right of the Senate to inquire of him
as to his reasons for making them, and
to demand that he shall send the papers
in such cases.
Senator Jones, Of Florida, remains in

The postmaster general in his annual
report for 1885, estimated that the gross
cost expenditures Of the postofice de.

The House committee on postofices and

the postmaster general for 1856. These
are to be cash expenditures. To this
amount should be added the cost of ser.

the current year is estimated at 81, $780,

leaving a deficit for the current year Of

When a newspaper passes from one ed
itorial control to another, custom demands
that the party assuming such control sa-
lutte his patrons in a becoming manner.
This VIC attempt to do.
In days gone by it has been the practice
to indulge in a wordy editorial on the
subject, filled with rounded periods and
many promises.
In these days the demand for facts con-
cisely stated stripped of verbiage-has
increased to an extent which fo~reshadows
the downfall of the traditional editorial.
In the words of the elder James GOrden
Bennett, News, not comment, makes a
journal great and popular" But, while
the fashion lives we will be up with the
times.
1t is no! our intention however, 10 come
before the people of this county and con-
