Out. The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday. February 26th, 1892. Rough on Sam. Sam Hughes, by the grace of Boodle M. P. for North Victoria, is nothing if not egotistical, and, true to his proclivâ€" ities in that direction, is publishing the congratulations of a large circle of ac- quaintances on his recent “ victory." Other men have won elections and have no doubt received congratulatory notes and telegrams, but nobody else that we know of has gone the length of putting them all into print. It is a significant fact, however, that of the numerous in- dividuals who‘have been moved by the spirit of toryism to congratulate Sam upon having gained North Victoria, not one has gone so far as to congratulate North Victoria upon having acquired Sam, the unfortunate riding being, in fact, an object of general commiscratiou. Our new M. P. has undoubtedly many admirers who look upon him can sort- of journalistic John “L. Sullivan; and, indeed, the two bear'a close resemblonce to'each other, one being a bruiser of faces and the other a bruiser of reputations. But Sam Hughes and John. L., though the heroes of roughs and rowdies, are regarded with feelings oleversion by the better element in the community; and the comments ofiuflucntial papers upon the result of the contest in North Victoria will no doubt astonish many who voted for the successful candidate, but who have no personal knowledge as to what manner of man he is and have only seen the least objectionable numbers of his paper. For instance. the Toronto Telegram, the publisher of which is both an Orangeman and 9. Con- servative, says :â€"“ Mackenzie Bowell, N. Clarke Wallace and their helpers gained a partizan advantage in North * Victoria and incidentally tempted the brethren there to punish an able grit who was true to Orange principles un- der fire and to exalt a bufi'oon whose bigotry is a disgrace to the Order ”; and concludes with the bitter remark that “ Principles of which the Orange associ- ation is the sworn guardian can take care of themselves if they have the strength, or perish if they are weak enough to need its help.” Anything said 'by the Ottawa correspondent of the Globcwill of course be received with scornful derision by all good Tories, and so we do not quote his remarks, which are in exact accord with what was said in last. Week's Gazette about Haggart’s boodlers; but.what do the honest, well- mcaning electors, who ignoruutly voted for Sam Hughes, think of the following from the Winnipeg Free Press ? “ 0f Thursday’s contest the result in North Victoria is the only one that con- tains within it the elements of surprise. .‘Jr. Barron, who is an able man and a very substantial factor in the community fortuo nate enough to possess him, carried the constituency last March by a majbrity of 202. He had previously snatched it from another able and respectable man, Mr. Hec- tor Cameron. North Victoria is largely Orange and also largely Catholic. Mr. Barron was one of the “ noble thirteen." He was opposed a year ago by his success- ful antagonist of Thursday, Mr. S. Hughes, as unfita person to represent a constitu- ency in the Canadian pirliament as can be found between Cape Breton and Vane .uvor the grasp to comprehend the affairs of a township:and who, at the time of the to drive every French-Canadian and Cath- Mr. Barron is l l entitled to Orange support.

Aceordin; to popular opinion it is a terrible thing to take a bribe, but quite preper to vote to save ouc's interest, but for the life of us we cannot see any difference in the turpitude of the two acts, though quite aware that the man who would not prefer his own pocket to the public \velfare would be looked upon as a fool. A laboring man who knows nothing whatever of public questions, who has no property to im‘ prove and at whose door the wolf ol. poverty is continually scratching, is of- fered, say, a live dollar bill to vote for one of two men who are both alike in his eyes, accepts the money, votes as he is told and (if found out) cot'cl's him- self with a mild type of infamy. A cabinet minister or some other high and mighty personage goes through a riding and tells the people en masse that if they will elect the Government candidate they shall have all sorts of things as re- wards lor so doing; they swallow the premises (which very likely are of the pic-crust order) vote as they are directed and are not covered with infamy. Of course it is quite right to vote for the "greatest good of the greatest number,” as the Reformers honestly believe they are doing, and be e to share in the hem efit to be conferre upon all by the better form of Government than we have at present; but. the problem that has long confronted us and which we have never been able to solve is: Why is it wrong to bribe individuals and not wrong to bribe whole constituencies ? Another Iufliotiou. As will be seen by the prodccdings of the school board, a new series of six drawing-books have just been inflicted upon the already overburdened pupils of the public schools; and Mr. McDougall, our head master, objects to their intro- duction in almost the middle of a term. We think he is quite right. and if he could prevent their introduction at any time he would be hailed a: a benefactor by the rising generation. “’6 have no objection to the existence of a Minister of Education, and Mr. Ross is no doubt an able man; but, if he will take our advice, he will reflect upon what happen- ed to Mr. Toots and " go slow,” as there is a limit to human enduravice, and a possibility of driving children into men- tal imbecility. We have seen the new books, which were prcparocl by J, H. amount, at. 1)., for many years drawing master of the Normal School at. Toronto, who has apparently tried to make the last. of the series as diflicult as possible. There sudden appearance has given a good deal of dissatisfaction to book- sellers, whose stock of old drawing-books are rendered worthless; to parents, who will have to pay for them, and to the teachers upon whom they have been unexpectedly sprung. There is a strong feeling' of dissatis- faction throughout the community re- garding our school system, and evidences of it are beginning to appear in print. The chief objection to the system is that the individuality ofa pupil is lost sight of; that each is a part ol'a whole; that all are required to go through the same course of studies, withoutregard to their natural tastes or abilities or their future occupation in life; that, in a word, the education received in our public schools is ornamental rather than practical and is not worth what it costs. Mr. Burns, of the Ladies’ lollcge at Hamilton, re- cently sent a long letter to the Globe, condemning the school examinations in Ontario, which he thinks are essentially vicious and do more harm than good, and he says the whole system is “ more like a complicated piece of machinery to be moved and directed by a single human will than a scheme for the dev- elopment of that subtle essence clothed with intelligence, passion and volition, and normally freeâ€"the human mind.” Mr. Burns is right, and the sooner the school system of Ontario undergoes the revision and correction it so badly needs, the better for all concerned.

It is some time since you had any items from this part, and asthe elections are over, and the result very near pira- lyzed us, I am happy to say that we are gctting around again, and living in hopes that we may never have a relapse. Farmers around here are busy cuttin; and drawing wood. Mr. Alexander Rutherford is busy drawing telegraph poles for Mr. [Ioaslip of Fenelon Falls. The Patrons of Industry here are increasing in numbers, and if farmers stick together though rainy and shiny weather, their power will be felt-in the land before long. The Patrons of In- dustry is a step in the right direction, but there is something more to be done yet. In politics farmers are divided; they get partyism on the brain and for- get their own interest and vote to build up manufacturers and to keep men in power that will have to give an account of themselves for sins committed in the presence of God. m Personals. Mr. W. E. Ellis got home from Osh- awa on Saturday evening and left again on Monday morning. ’ Mr. '1‘. Spellman, formerly a resident ofthis village, but now of Hastings, Ont, was here last Saturday.
