Fate of the Mowat Govern- ment, About a month from now the fate f the Mowat Government, will have fixed, and considering the gen- al wisdom and intelligence of the electorate of the province one is not isking much in predicting an over helming defeat to this wastetul gud utterly worthless Government, 'The members of this Government appear to have altogether overlook- ~ cd the fact that they were elected - not to feather their own and their relatives nests but to manage the country in wisdom and economy. -- No one we think, will attempt to assert that the now expiring Gov- ernment have done their duty to the people in any one particular or act- ed in the interest of the public at large. Their legislation throughout has been both bungling and extra- vagant, making laws one session and changing or repealing them the next, every succeeding Act being made more cumbrous, more expen- sive and less workable than the Act they 'amended (?), and all require more officials, so that every nook and corner in the province is crowd. od wth a devouring, non-producing horde of "officials sucking at the * very vitals of tho Province and all created and maintained for the ex- press purpose of sustaining the Mowat Government in power and affording them an opportunity for further plunder. Let any one now examine the number, class and pay of provincial officials and compare these with those of the'time when the Mowit Government came into power, bis ideas of efficient and worthy legislation must bo contused indeed if he como to any other conclusion than that the Mowat Governm't have forfeited every claim to the slightest confidence of the electorate or to a renewal of that trast which they have so miserably betrayed. The overthrow of such a Government has nothing to do with the defeat of this party or of that, for itis to be hoped that there is no party in the Pro- vince willing to identify itself with a few extravagant bunglers calling themselves a Government. There can really bo only one legitimate party in the Province at least as regards Provincial affairs, that is the friends - of good government and rigid econ- omy in every department of our Provincial management, if there is _ @ay other party where is the divid ingline? Where is the room for the rulers of this comparatively small ~ Province puting on style, living like "lords; receiving extravagant salaries, and hiring subs at the public ex- expense to do the work which they themselves should , do, so that rough one humbug and another the funds of the toiling ones are be oxhaustod, the surplus of the ury devoured and our legisla- dogenorating trom day to day. There cannot really be two pariies be Provinco on these matters it may be the producing class supply the funds and whose interest and profit is to see ) funds are judiciously legislation wisely con- creased uncertainty, more litigation and farther laws delays ; such how. |ever is not exactly what the peoplo want, thoy don't much relish an extravagant government for no other purpose than catering for lawyers. The time has now arrived others who will rule with equity apd economy. Hundreds of thousands of dollars might be saved every year if our rulers were men of the right stamp, men who were less selfish and more faithful to their trust. the present number of members would manage the affairs of the country with greater efficiency, in halt the time and at one fifth of the present cost. But were it possible that the present government should be returned 1t would be an admis- sion not to be gainsaid that the olectors were satisfied with the pres- ent regime,care nothing for efficient and economical government in com: parison to favoring a few lawyers who have got possession of the treas- ure chest and are using it to their own personal advantage and the in- jury of the province at large. Let the electorate manifest by their bal- lots that selfish extravagance in rul- ers will no longer be tolerated and that no matter who they may be that only so long aa they rule in the interest of the people will they re- tain the confidence of the electorate. Convention. The friends and admirers of the Mowat regime met in solemn convention at the village of Can- vington, on Tuesday, 29th ult, with the intention amongst other things, of selesting a candidate to contest the representation of N. O. in the Legislative Assembly of On- tario in the pext parliament. We could not if we would und we would not if we could bave employed an eavesdropper to sneak in amongs! them and steal a garbled report of tho proceedings. We may state, however, what they have no desire to conceal and are telling thom selves that Mr. Paxton is the standard bearer selected for the approaching campaign and having assumed that position be now be comes public property so far at least as his fitness or unfitness for the position is concerned, as Grit and Tory, Conservative and Re: former all well being of the country, have to contribute to ils support and can- not be indifferent as to the selection of the parties in whose hands are to be placed the legislation for the province for the next four years.-- It is the duty of all without the slightest distinction of creed either political or religious, to discounten have an interest in the ance, nay, to prevent if possible the election of any candidate who is not thoroughly qualified for the position; one who will neither bow to this clique nor to that but who will faithfully and fearlessly perform his duty in the best interests of the country and to tho advantage of his constituents without distinction.-- We want workers and neither fre- quenters of the lobbies nor grad- nates of the smoking rooms. We want thinkers and not echoes, men who will take part in and contend for profitable and economical legis- lation and not men who will lounge around neither knowing nor caring what the legislation may be, being ready when the members ars called in to vote yén.gr nay as his leader does without knowing anything more aboat it. ! We are not at all dissatisfied, but wo are very much surprised that the Mowat party should again put for- ward Mr. Paxton as their choice, for whatever claim he may have on the party and it would be difficult to see even where that comes in, all -{ will readily admit that he has not slightest claim on the province, oe {in it is the other when the people have a chance to dismiss their sinister government and place the reins in the bands of One third of liberally dealt with in the past, has had about 8700 a year of as good as a pension for the past twelve years bawing nothing more to do than simply to dance attendance around the legislative halls at Toronto, for a couple of months each year.-- While we do not urge that he should give back any portion of the money we do say that he ought to feel thankful to the province for its any further indalgence. -- The Contest in South Ontario. The contest between Mr. Brown and Mr, Dryden for the representa tion of South Ontario in the Local Parliament, so far,goes smoothly on, neither of them happens to be of so largely in election contests and are at all times more numerous than that the chances of victory depend upon the amount of abuse which can be administered in a given time. Their campaign so far has partaken more of the nature of a review than of a fight or even a sham battle.-- They meet once a week and have scarcely even a tilt, they spar with the gloves on and the first blond has not yet been drawn. This balmy state of things cannot be .expected to continue, the one or the other will got a knock which will make him The constituency so far--and we think wisely--are showing a marked pre- ference for Mr, Brown, It is gener ally admitted that Mr. Brown's course during the last parliament was straight forward and honorable, and that no vote of his was found at variance with the best interests of the country in general or of his constituents in particular. ---- Anniversary Sermon. doff the gloves and go in. « It being now sixty years since the opening of the first Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows on the Continent of America the brethren of Warriner Lodge No. 75, Port Perry, celcbrated the occasion by attending Church asa lodge an Sunday, 27th ult. The sermon was preached in the evening, in the 'M. E, Church, Port Perry, by Rev, Bro, C. A, Simpson, Pastor of the Church, The occasion was one of more than or- dinary interest, the church was filled in every part,the members of the Order occupy- ing a large portion of thoseats. No one could 100k over that intelligent congregation without being favorably impressed with the Order from the. appearance of its members assembled here to render thanks {o the Giver of all Good for the many blessings bestowed upon the Order in days gone by and to plead for future protection and guidance Bixty years do not by any means mark the age of the Order it simply marks the years of its existence on this continent. But with many institutions at even sixty years the hoary hairs of decaying vigor begin to show themselves ; but not so with this grandly charitable institution, it is still young, fair and vigorous; time writes no wrinkles on its noble brow ; it is going on from strength to strength unweariedly in the paths of benevolence peace and good will. After singing and prayer the Rev. Gentle- man gave a synopsis of the statistics of the Order from the establishment of the first lodge in America in 1819. The statistics given were highly flattering to the Order and satisfactory to all who wish to see the glorious principles of true charity spread over the land. The vast increase in mem- bership, the accumulated funds and the large amounts expended in procuring aid to the sick, comfort for widows and bread fur the fatherless and orphans in connection with the Order, were gratifying to all who heard the figures given, The speaker now proceeded with his dis- course choosing as the foundation of his re. marks eight versps, commencing at the 11th verse, of the 20th chapter of Job. The sub- ject was most appropriate, was woll-handled | and was listened to throughout with the utmost attention. 4 "lb plepsant singing of the choir added much to the interest of the services. -- Social. The ladies of the M. E.Church, Port Perry, provided a most enjoyable social in of Friday last. The turn out was very fai, but had the weather been at all favorable many more would doubtless have taken part in the enjoyment of the evening. The ladies on thig as on all similar occasions | treated 'their guests bandsomely and all | the prosont eeomed to realise the truth of the proposition, « The cup which cheers," for a cheerful, pleasant time was enjoyed. { After tes sll retired to the body of the generosity towards him und not ask the fire-eating fraternity who figure useful.

The pext was a reading by Mr. Pedley-- * David Copperfield wooing and wianing his Nora." The next was a quartétte by Miss McCoy and Hiscox and Messrs Rooks and Hiscox.-- This wus sung in fine style and much ad- mired, The evening was pleasantly and profitably spent, all who took part in the entertain. ment contributed their part in securing success, and the comfortable manner in which the duties of the choir were discharg- ed had much to do with the success, En-- Another Oandidate for Public Favor.

Se The unsatisfactory condition of society in Europe reminds oné of the sentence: ¢ Put out the light and then put out tke light." -- The dark and bitter fruits of serfdom in Russia are only now maturing after the curse has beén much, modified serfdom hav- ing been abolished years ago ; but while freedom was increased moral and intellectual culture was still neglected and the Govern- ment still persevered in its despotic and oppressive course until it bad incurred the contempt of the intelligent portion of the community and the hatred of the unintelli- gent portion, so that the rulers have got be- tween two fires so much so that their lives are in daily jeopardy of the assassian's bullet The rulers bave now become alarmed, a reign of terror in high places has heen in- augurated amongst the ruling class ; the om inous whisper of the assassin's bullet past the head of the Emperor the other day told its own dark tale. The monarch realizes the gravity of the situation but he seeks a remedy in the wrong channel. The Russian government as if to render popular the very crime they seek to suppress propose the for mation af an international court for the trial and punishment of regicides. But things equally stupid are being put forward every day. A peasant was lately arrested in St. Petersburg with a letter in his poesession containing a detailed plan of 'attack upon the Winter Palace and prison in which Soulajeff is confined, Although the letter was probably a hoax, the entire garrison was called out, The Csarewitch received anonymous letters warning him to go abroad.

The new Weights and Measures Act in- troduced in the House the otler afternoon contains 8 number of changes in regard to the standard and the principal provisions are the doing away with deputy inspectors. In addition to the power of appointment of provincial inspectors given before power is given to appoint assistants to whom the inspectors may appoint inspection districts from time to time as found pecessary, officers of the Inland Revenue Department woyld also be appointed district inspectors, and shall discharge the duties of these offices in conjunction with, and in addition to their regular work, Several changes are made in regard to the penalties to be imposed, -- The penalty for having false or unjust weights and measures, and for fraud in the use of false weights, shall be a fine not ex- ceeding $25, or in a case of a second oflence $50. The maker or seller pf unjust weights and measures shall be liable toa penalty not exceeding $50, or in case of 8 second offence $100. The penalty for using ped weights and shall be a fine of not more than $50 nor legs than $5 for each such offence, The penalty for using lead of pewter weights not cased in brass, copper or jron, shall be a fine not exceeding $25, or In case of a second ofience, $60. It is to be hoped that tho new Act will be an improvement op the old, for that wretched thing 8s werked + under the Mackenzie regime has only been a source of annoynnce and waste causing a loss to the country of hundreds of thousands of dollars and entirely failing to answer the purpose for which it was intended. These Everlasting Steel Rails. The Mail says i= Mr, Mackenzie was an extraordinary Minister of Public Works, that is fora "practical" man, A return on the subject shows that on the 13th June, 1878, Mr, Braun, the secretary of the Department, ordered Mr. Robson, the Government pur- veyor in British Columbia, to advertise for tenders for the removal of gofe of the famous steel rails from Yale *to a point Lolow town to be indicated." The total weight was 5,266 tons, The contract was awarded at the rate of $6.44 per ton, and the work of removal begun in July. On the 29th October, Mr, Bobson was ordered to stop proceedings. At that time 3,484 tons had been moved tq the Frazer River at a cost of $15,000 arid, the contractor promptly put in a claim for loss stistained through the cancellation of his contract, The ques- tion is what induced Mr. Mackenzie first of all to order the removal of these rails ; and, secondly, to stop their removal before the contract was fulfilled and after $15,000 had been spent on the job," Will no one take pity on the country and kick those now infamous well, oblivion ? reils into ---- Summary Justice.

However, the speech from the throne at the opening of the Prince Edward Island Legislature on the 24th ult., was an important exeeption from the rule. The |following clauses in the Address speak for themselves and all our rulers, dominion and provincial, would db well not onlyse ponder over the Address but act upon its sugges- tions, «1 regret to inform you bat the finances 9f the Province ae in 4 i Snsatisiantory condition n ol extinguish public indebetdness, as well as to keep the current expenditure within the revenue, it will be necessary to practice the most stria- gent economy in the Departments, The cost of elections and legislation has become a heavy drain upon the limited re. sources of the province, and your attention will be directed to the adoption of measures for its reduetion. The bill for the abolition of the Legis- lative Council will be introduced, It is desirable to amend the laws pertain. ing to the Civil Bervice so as to secure in- creased efficiency in the management of the public departments, and reduce the outlay for administration to the lowest possible amount." When would our dear, dear Mowat put such language into themouth of our Lieu-Gover- nor, Sugar-Coated Pills. Tho Toronto Globe has for weeks been ad. ministering, almost daily, ynlimited doses of sugar- coated pills to those of hig readers who are willing to be duped, who will shut eyes, and oper. mouths and ask no questions He has been doing his best to alarm the children as to the future outlook for their sugar- sticks when the long predicted ¢ great rise in the price of sugar" should come, but like ' Royal Charlie," it's lang o' coming, and the price of sugar is actually advancing backwards, and the false prophet is getting dreadfully alarmed at the decline in the price of sugar, as he does not know where it is to end. The Globe has made himself so exquisitely ridiculous in his outrageous criticisms on the Canadian tariff that he has lessened his influence where he happened fo be in the right The article that he sugared off on the 21th ult, is unworthy of a journal of the Globe's standing. Listen to him: * The great fall which has taken place in the price of sugar everywhere but in Canada during the last month has prevented the Redpath firm from raising the prices of refined sugars to the symmetrical ten cents per pound, which they would 10 doubt hke toexact from us. As they cannot overstep the two cents per pound of profit which the new tariff allows them to levy without open. ing the market to American refiners, they have, no doubf very unwillingly, consented to furnish sugars at about the same prices as those which prevailed before the drop in values came about. Of course this is an instance of most overpowering condescen- sion on the part pt the lordly Montrealers. So astonish~d are the Tory journals at the bare idea of Redpath selling sugar as cheap- ly ae it could once be bought elsewhere that they overflow with joy. ' . . . . . * . The Tory journals may wriggle, and gguirm, and pro- test that the 'saccharine strength' of Red path is higher than the saccharine strength of American; but who will believe such nonsense, when the word of any old esta- blished grovet can be obtained to the fact 4hat fhe style of refining must bave been radically altered if Redpath's sugar is any better than it ought to be?" The Globe's run of sap must be nearly ex- hausted; he is evidently down tothe dregs orhg never would present such rubbish, eit eee Brighter Prospects. ~~ Britain's positioti and prospects in her Afghan and Zulu quarrels gre improving but this is after an amazing expenditure of blood and treasure, The Afghan ruler is now expected to come to terms without further fighting, and the Zulu king appears to be looking for a soft place to fall, a place o refuge has already been selected, Loxpon, April 28, --Telegrams from India speak of the complete broak down of the quartermaster and commissary departments of the Khyber column, now at Jellalabad and Gandamak, owing to lack of tranepor. tation.

Loxvox, April 20.--A despatch from the Marquis of Lorne is published, in which he justifies the Dominion protective tariff on the ground that the action of the United States is invariably hostle to Canada on all matters relative to tariffs, and that manu. facturers in the United States can disorganize and destroy any special Canadian industry by combining to flood the Canadian market with a similar product sold below the actual value. The absence of duty thus has the same effect as that produced by a Govern- ment bounty, The Canadian Minster of Finance appends a memorandum, saying that if the tariff materially alters the volume of trade with Great Britain it must be on the side of an increase, and in several branches this result will certainly fallow, Go on Men! A staff of engineers are now making a preliminary survey between this town and Beeton of a section of a proposed central line of railway which, if constructed, would" connect Goderich with Ottawa. They report having found a very favorable route along the valley of the Nottawa. The scheme, if not the same, is not dissimilar fo that ad- vocated some years ago by Mr, J, Fowler, and which was received very favorably throughout central Ontario, and toward the constraction of which several municipalities granted large bonuses, This line is intend- ed to run through this town, and its pro. moters propose making. arrangements with the Toronto, Grey & Briice Railway Com- pany, for running powers over the western branch of that company's line, ar for its purchase altogether. How much vitality there may be in this scheme, we are unable to say, but if the road were built it would greatly shorten the distance by rail between the municipalities of central Ontario and the sea board, and correspondingly reduc: the cost of transportation both ways.
