It is the | members' pays and mileage. of the satisfaction of having the matters which so much concerns them and the county at large openly , discussed before them and by them, and in fact neither candidate is worthy of support unless they take tho electors into their confidence them that they are worthy the pos- {ition and if they fail todo so it were i better to leave them both at home. If we should do so it would make little or no odds to the constituency as far as the representation is con- cerned and if somo forty or fifty more were loft at home and the con. stitnencies remain unrepresented legislation would not suffer and much unnecessary and unprofitable expenditure would be saved to the country: But that is not all, the opponents of the Government are doing the country a wrong if they fail to exposo the faulty legislation and extravagant expenditure and if they cannot do this what in creation brings them out in opposition or why do they oppose a Government against whom they can bring no valid objection. That the Mowat Government . havo forfeited all claim to tho further confidence of the Provinee must be admitted by all who have carefully watched their course and their re-election power would go far to show that a majority of tho electorate of the Province of Ontario care nothing for honest, economical and profitable legislation, and the simple failure of an Opposition candidate to make this plain to the electors is the very strongest possible proof of his utter worthlessness as a representative. If he fail in this his first and most obvious 'duty be establishes the most incontrovertable proof of his inability for the position and that if he were clected he would be even worse than the celebrated "chip in pottage" for the historical chip is supposed to do no harm if it does no good. That the Mowat ring will be driven from power we believe is almost a foregone conclusion and that they should be driven from places they bave so unworthily filled few will attempt to dispute. A Well Fought Field. The session of the Dominion Parliament wound up its business on the 15th inst., and the government have certainly a good record to show --a record of which both they and their friends may well feel proud, especially when it is considered that the now famous. N.P. had to be introduced, wrought out and carried through. This was almost enough for a session but they have accom- plished a targe amount of other important work; many public Acts of interest and value and lots of private bills have been pushed through, some 42 public Acts and 36 private bills. Certainly the Dominion has no cause to complain either of the quantity or quality of the work done, and if tho first session be a criterion from which to judge of the following much good may be expected from the present parliament during the four sessions yet to come. It isto be hoped and expected that the application of the able item in the bill of fare of the next session, as if such fis not the case there will be a storm in the camp; a very large reduction in but.absolutely necessary and of easy accomplishment.

Sb---- The Fight Proceeding. Mr. Collville, the standard bearer tor the represent- ation of West Durham in the Legis lative Assembly of Ontario, is doing good work and being the people's candidate, he is wisely taking the people into his confidence by em- bracing every opportunity which prosents itself of meeting the electors in public and fairly and (honorably discussing such matters as are proper to be brought before the electorate ata timo when the suffrages of the free and independ- ent are about to be solicited by the friends of the Mowat Government to have the rule of that government prolonged for another term of four years, and by the opponents of that government to have said govern- ment driven from power as un- worthy of the positions they now occupy. Mr. Collvilleis a man of superior intelligence and wisely treats the electors as intelligent, thinking men as they undoubtedly are. Ile is holding public discus- sions from day te day throughout the riding and is meeting with abundant success, daily increasing his strength and renderiug his suc- cessful return doubly secure. It would be strange indeed if in an in- telligent constituency like West Durham Mr, Collvillo should not be a most popular candidate. A | gentleman of unblemished character, {sterling worih, superior intelligence, good education and really one of the people, an honest upright farm- er, who bas nobly done his part in the great industrial community to barry forward the best interests of our noble province. On Tuesday last there were no fewer than four meetings going on in which Mr. Collville was interested but as that gentleman could not be in two places at the same time two of these meotings had to be lelt to friends, viz at Williamsburg and Enniskillen, the Editor of this paper attendivg the former and the Warden of the United Counties, the latter. The Ministerial candidate backed by a gentleman from Bow= manville took the sido of the Gov- ernment at the Williamsburg meet- ing, at Enniskillen «son of Hon. John Simpson assisted the Minis- terial candidate! It is needless to Opposition \ the combatants that thore were lively times at these meetings.-- Both meetings being under control of the government candidate he held that control with a miser's grasp putting forward his lieutenants first then giving the opposition from an hour to an hour and a half to speak, be followed up with a harangue of two or three hours. But coven this was not the most unfair, dishonor- able part of tho plot for in replying to the statements of the Opposition speaker he characterized every reply. temptibly mean is tion of boot black. ment and those who oppose that ex: boanii + ond Collville's by a knows) of Onturiobe laughed out of state to those knowing anything of statement as false, would himself make the wildest assertions and dare any one to contrad'et him and when parties got up to contrdict him the chairman would silence him telling him to wait ill the candidate got done speaking. This would all have done well and would have answered the purpose but the moment the candidate got done he bolted out of ball and the chuirman left the chair thus cutting of all possibility of Such miserable, dishonor: ablo tactics are beneath contempt and any candidate who is so con- unworthy of sufficient support te secure the posi- The battle cry in this instance is really not Letween Conservatives and Grits so much as between those who wish to continue the wastefal expenditure of the Mowat Govern- travagance, and if the frients of economy do their duty as they ought to do there need be no doubt of Mr. Hotel Accommodation.

Kxiont.-- Judgment was given in this case on Wed- nerday of last weck by the Supreme Court of Canada dismissing the plaintifi's appeal with costs. The action, it will be remem- bered, was brought by Mie. Penrose of Gravenhurst, in the Court of Chancery to recover damages from Mr, J, H. Knight and Benjamin Murta, as executors of the late R. A. White, late hotel keeper of Lindsay, for nn alleged fraud committed by Mr. Murta in his lifetime in reference to the sale of a tavern stand at Greenbank, Ontario colinty. The executors resisted the claim as the facts were all known during Mr, Murta's lifetime, nnd Mrs Denrose should have brought her action then, and not wait Carmichael, Manilla, is offering fine chances N acquisition, and our late townsman on the here ; this interest is manifesting itself in i last 1 election shows that there are now a good many who choose freely and use the ballot for the best of all purporés--to break faith with the wire-puller and keep it with the country, It would be well, as many people think, if these Provincial Assemblies, and the local interests to which it is their business to at- tend, could remain entirely seperate from the Dominion Government and from the Dominion parties. Such, no doubt, was the | intention of the framers of our coustitution but their machinery has failed, Dominion party has completely extended its sway over Local Governments and elections. The coming contest will be a repetition of that of September last on a narrower field. The parties are the same. The organs the same. The clubs and conventions the same, The leaders are the same--Sir Johu Macdonald on one side, Mr, Brown and the Globe on the other. So in reality are the issues. Of | course the party which was beaten in Sep- wants the ostensible isssue to be changed but if that party wins now, a victory on tho | old issue will be claimed. No one can doubt this who reads the organs and remem- bers that the elections were put off by an | extraordinary device, to the time by which it was hoped thata reaction against the ational Policy would have set in, The nation, after full discussion and by a | decisive vote, has ordained that a great fiscal experiment shall be double purpose of filling up the deficit left by the late Dominion Government, and of relieving Canadian industries, by a re-ad- justment of the tariff, from the special dis- advantages and discouragements under which theyghave labored, It has entrusted that experiment to the bauds of the only men who were able and willing to under. take it, their rivals having avowed them- selves utterly powerless with regard to one at least of the two objects, and, to use the expression of one of them, were flies on the wheel, The operation of the new policy has hardly vet commenced, We are now feeling the pressure of the new axes which in any case wust have been imposed to meet the deficit left by the late Government; the effect of the re-adjustment of tne tariff in fostering our native industries remains yet to beseen. I know that men who are en- tirely free from political bias, and in a pos- ition to take the broadest view of thecom- mercial interests of the country, look for- ward to the result with hope. Surely itis! the dictate of common sense that we should | support the Government of our choice till | our experiment has been fairly tried. 'TI is not « mere question of theoratic politics it is a question affecting the daily bread of our people, Mr. Mowat says thut when he opposes the national policy it is not as Premier of On= tario, but as a private citizen, Mr. Mowat is a man of the highest character, aud no doubt when he says he is acting on a certnin principle, he is. But it signifies nothing practically in what nominal capacity he enters the conflict since he cannot help carrying with him his influence and his patronage as Premier. He protests that he pays no servile deference to the authority of the Globe. No one will acenso him of say- ing anything wnconscientigiis or disregard. ing. But we know very well that, on all great questions, what the Globe says, he will do; and the opposition of the Globe to the national policy bas not only been violent Lut insane. It may be doubted whether | any organ, however narrowly personal, ever showed more insensate fury. If the Gov- ernment of Ontario can put a stone on the tinck, the national policy will be thrown off he rail. The sudden reversal by thls great Pro. vince of the decision of September last would be a heavy moral blow. It would be felt Ly the capitalist, who is thinking of setting'up pew industries in reliance on the stability of the national system. It would be felt in foreign countries, whose fiscal policy towards us, our new tariff is intended to influence in cur favor.

Chas Worthen, a cut a good re in the discussion, But the Prime Minister and the leader of the House is specially responsible for the stealthy manner in which the ¢ Grab" was passed, and which is really the worst feature in the case. The Algoma quibble may hold good in a court of law, as quibbles often do. But morally, the authority of the Ontario Parlia- ment expired on the 2nd Fel bears, sod its trust then 'returned into the hands of the people. Its exeicise of the legislative wer after thal date was a moral usurpa- interest of its party. There may be coarser and worse palpable malpractices ; there can | be none more than gerry with the Constitution. On one point I may be allowed to form an opinion. Ihave passed my life in the ranks of the Liberal party, in active devotion to its objects; and in constant intercourse with its chiefs ; and I cannot see that Liberalism and Gritism have anything in common, or that Liberalism would in any way lose by the removal of the Grits from Wer. -- Gritish is simply Calvanism - in politics, ics of the and most exclusive sect. Its reign instead of being one of freedom, politically or mentally, has been a despotism of libel, which is neither less degrading nor, to gen- erous minds, less oppressive than a despot- ism of corruption or of force. Mr Mackenzie calls thissystem © righteous and beacficent " But that only shows that he isa good Cal- vanist, and, like his political sect, regards injustice done by the elect to the reprobate as righteousness. Mr, Blake tried to break this yoke, but failed. Sir John Macdonald has broken it ; and on social grounds, at all events, he deserves our gratitude, I muy add--and peihaps some English workingmen here will bear me witness--thut though I hope 1 have never been a flaterer of the artizan class, I have always been true to the cause of labor, and that when the tights of the working man were called in question, and his character was traduced, I have faced some storms of obloquy at his side. 1 naturally look at the question, therefore, from this poiat of view also; and I cannot' understand how the working man can find it consistent with his interest to vote for a party which, so long as European capital is forthcoming for certain private consistent with his honor to vote for a leader | who has attempted to put in force cruel and i and humanity had repealed them in the Old World. On the whole, it would seem the best course for the people to stand by the Domin ion Government till they have seen what the effect of the new commercial policy is likely to bes Yours faithfully, GOLDWIN SMITH Toronto, May 17.

The paramount ability of Sir John Macdonald no cne can deny; and when we are in serious difficulties this is mo small consideration. He is not at coward," for he leads his party boldly in the open field ; and he is now, not deliveripg prolix narratives of his own achievments in a past generation, but grappling . vigorously with the present difficulties of the country. In the fierce struggle for power he has done things which, it is to be hoped, for his own reputation and the honor of Caoada, he will never be led to do again. But he has done nothing so bad as the deliberate revival of the party strife for a selfish object, after Confederation, when all real cause 'for such divisions was at an end and the nation was united and at peace, From that crime bave flowed all the crimes which the re- awakened spirit of party, on both sides, has committed since. To do Sir John Macdonald justice, he has alwaye striven to unite rather than to devide us. He is charged by his opponents in this | of "and, hy i union, to Sxtinguish on i epen- nee.
