© The same " organ‘"‘ of the Ontario GJâ€" vernment makes another curious blunder. 1t speaks of the Lieut..â€"Governor of Maniâ€" woba as the representative of "political power " lle is nothing of the sort ; he is \hwhtinoltlnCmn,orol the »xecutive power, which is assumed to be blind as to political matters and awake only to the execution of the laws that have already been made by the politicians. The appointment of exâ€"Chief Justice Morris to the governorship of Manitobr h no «nalogy to the assumption of the Premierâ€" ship of Ontario by Mr. Mowat. ‘The office of Lt.â€"Governor is in its nature semi, judicial. and strictly nouâ€"political, as he is expected to holdl the balance even between all parties. The position of the Premier is so far diferent that he is supâ€" posed to be the leader of one party, and that party the :trongest for the time being. It is not charged against Mr. Mowat that he has acted unfairly while on the Bench, nor is it said that anything has tbeen lost to the country by his retire» meat. The point is, thit while acting as ViceUhingelior, he was tiking a keen interest in politics and in party moreâ€" m sats, above both of which i; is beliered the Judges ought :o hold thems«Ires. The elevition of the Hoa. Mr. Morris from the position of Chief Justice to that of Lt. Governnor will not surely stand comparison the «ame. Since _ his _ retirement from the Cabinet it has been abolished, and for that, which we may take as Mr. Mowat‘s first administrative act, we are willing to give him every credit. Mr. Blake evinced his high appreciation of Mr. Viceâ€"Chancellor Mowat‘s political capacity in advising the Lisutenant Governor to take him off the Bench ; Mr. Mowat unâ€" graciously returpned his thanks by abolishâ€" Mr. Blake never was Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario.

The Hon. Mr. McGee, in his cay, was accustomed to speak of it; Nir George Cartier has more than once given expression to it on Oitawa platform*, and if we are not much mistaken the Hons. Messrs. Tupper and Mitchell vrery nearly committed themselves to the same theory the other evening. We fully admit that the idea 1s a pretty one, and that its exâ€" pression will serve to adorn a speech; but beyond this we certainly hold that & National Canadian Society means â€" Knowâ€" Nothingism," or nothing. Under our constitution, and the headâ€" ship of our Sovereign, we are already the grandest of * National Societies." _ If the different sections of the community meet upon a platform which has a speciality for themselves, cither in reâ€" pect of creed or country, thsy do not necessarily be> come worse Canadians or worse members of society at large.

The "lie‘" is in the mouth nt the Globé, not in that of "John A," We pass theâ€" Glose‘s insinuation that "John A. and his followers" have only got one «‘mouth." Amongst them they have many, though perhaps none of them are so watery as that of the rejocted of South Ontario. The Globe is getting hazy and losing track of its friends.

But we have wandered away from the purpose with which we began, which is to show what duadnnuiea London is under relatively to New York in dealing with the criminal class, and we have specified one disadvantage which inheres in the theory of private prosecution for general crimes. New York City has, on the contrary, a public prosecutor in the person of the Disâ€" trict Attorney for the county, aided by a staff of numerous assistants, whose duty it is to cooperate with the police and the magistrates in the detection and punish ment of every grade ofâ€"criminals. All exficnlu of prosecution are borne by the public. . His legal authority is ample. The salary of the officeâ€"which is either $15,000 or $17,300 a yearâ€"is, in comparison with the pay of Federal offices of similar grade, simply preposterous. Heis provided with three or four assistants at $10,000 a year each. These salaries were fixed by the county when the Supervisor‘s "ring" was in control, and we are curious ‘to see if the " reformed‘‘ Government or reforming citizens make any effort to reduce them. The assisiant district attorneys of this | county each receive a hrfer salary, it will be seen, than the Chief Justice of t.ho‘ United States, or the Soa'ohryofstule.‘ and more than twice as much annually as Judge Blatchford of the United States: District Court of this city is paid. The District Attorney receives each year nearâ€" l‘tmnmmhuChiofJunfioobhuo‘ in Washington, and as much within a few WONDEBI‘UL! efforts. And the anomaly exists of public prosecutors in Scotland, controlled by the Government, without a grand jury sysiem, and private prosecutors in England with no relation to the Crown, between whom and the objects of their pursuit, a grand jury is interposed. _ When grani juries were invented in England, the paipose was to shield the subject from the power of the King to question him till an imâ€" partial grand jury had declared there was due reason therefor. It was the injustice or tyranny of the Crown which was to be guarded against in the days when judges and Crown lawyers were the creatures or tools of the sovereign, and petit jurymen were liable to punishment for honest verdicts But to day there is in England a growing feeling which pronounces grand juries no longer a pullic necessity, since judges, petit jurors, and public opinion can be relied on to give accused persons all the J)ro'.ection to which theyare fairly entitled. If that be true in England, how much more true with us, where judges and prosecuting ofticers are elected by the people, and can be promptly reâ€" moved from offise by impeschment or otherwise. tp /A bona fide Reduction of from lifty to Seventyâ€"five per cent.
