There has wlâ€" ways been a suspicion that the policy of Sir John A. Macdonald‘s Government is based upon this theory, and the maveh of events at Ottawa only too truly confirms the correctness of the opinion. Anything for the sake of office and emolument. â€"We would specially ask our readers || among the Roman Catholies aud Qrangeâ€" | 1 men to read the extract from a speech reâ€"|, céently detivered by Mr. Hardy M.P.P.| for Brant, which we give in another | golumn. â€" Aud if after doing so, they are not convinged that the Governtsent of Mr. Mowat have done all that could be done, | and more than any other Government ever attemapted to do in dealing out evenâ€"handed \ justice to these two sections of the people, then all argament is out of the question aud they must to left to the follies of their Durham, May 15, 1879. own conceits sUCH R in In the matter of Text books the School |â€" law is equally explicit, and says that,| Feachers ave expressly prohibited from | substituting any newly authorized Text | Books fos those already in use, unless and until ho has received the sguctionâ€" of thet Trustees aud the School Inspector." | "This will surely shew that the Goyernâ€" ment have taken every precaution to preâ€" vent any undue local taxation for school purposes, and that in ts as in every ether department of legislation they have placed the power w here it ought to be, in the hands of the poople or their representatives. As to the eriticisms on School expendiâ€" ture, Mr. Fahey is equally unfortanate. Comparing the cost of education in Onâ€" tario with that in the United States and Creat Britain, wo find the following results : That, while in Ontario the sost per head of the School population is §5,20, in New York State it is $6.12, in Michigan $7.47, in Penusylrania $7.60, in Ohio $8.20, and in Massachusetts $24.48,â€"in Scotland about $9.50, and in England $10. It thereâ€" fore cannot be said with truth that the people in this Province are peying too much for their school advantages. Moreâ€" prer it should be cbserved, in considering the expenditure on the part of«the CGovâ€" ermnment for School purposes, Public : and Separate as well as High Schools, that for â€" the support of these schools a lsrge en Although it seems extraordinary that ch ® line of srgument should be adopted this, the> last quarter of the THE SCHOOL QUESTION Maxwell.

That | dowrent of lands was set apart by the old | Pasliament of Candda, which now is held \ in trust for the Provinee aud is included | among the Trust funds held by the Domiuâ€" ( on of Caunda. These funds yiold a yearly. 'lcspend'u.ura ou Public, Deparate ANU UR Schools for the year 1876 was over four ‘milljou dollars ($4,224,039) of which the Goverpment eontributed $524,498, and manifestly by~ so ° much, reduced â€" the amount of lseal taxation, | In 1871 the '\Legiahfi\-e Grant was one tenth of the : | amount of local expenditure ; in 1872, one | eleventh and in 1878, one twelith. _ But further the Legislative Grants for Educaâ€" ; | tioual purposes as for Railways, Colonizaâ€" _| tion roads and Public works generally, are revenue of $75,000 to Public aud> Separcte Schools aud $20,000 to the High Zchools. Mr. Vahey hazarded the remark that the supplemtientary aid granted by the Legisâ€" lature increased the taxes of the poople. Nothing cou!d be more absurd. ‘The total expenditure ou Public, Separate and High | Gahoole for the vear 1876 was over four paid out of the surplus revenues of the Province. â€" Thus the moneys paid md-er‘ the Munmicipal Loan Fund Aet have lessenâ€" ed the loeal taxation for the building of bridges, making of roads, &c., the sums exâ€" pended under the Railwny Act have préâ€" vented the levying of thousznds of dollars by diveet taxation, aud so the money conâ€" tributed by the Government for Education, pro tanto lessens the amount required to be raised by local taxation for educational przposes. | Tt is surely characteristic of s wise legislator to expend the public tands as the Government of Mx. Mowat has dono, so as to lessen the burdens of the people, always having regard io economy imul eBicieney in every department ; and it is cortainly in the interosts of the country at large, that the accumulating revennes of the Province should from year to ycar‘ be appropriated in furthering the menâ€" tal and material progress of the people *han that they should be hoarded up in the banks. Thus our readers will at once see how, Mr. Fahey, in his anxiety to make a point against the Government is ever \rcnfy to draw upon his imagination for his fucts. One oi the many fanciful stutements which Nir. Fubhsy is foud of indulging in is 1 tiisâ€"that there is mo surplas, and that the surplus shown by the Ho®. the Treasurer of the Provineo does net eonsist of cash but is made up of such assets as the Proâ€"| vincial share of the Parliamentary Library at Ottawa. Now, for Mr. Fahey‘s information, and so prevent bis making such ridueulous asâ€" I sertions in the presence of the electors, we I may just state that the assets of the Proâ€" | vinco of Ontario on the $ist day of Decemâ€" ber, 1878, amounted to $5,842,748, This is made up of Dominion bonds, $2,179,010; Drainago debentures, $553,540 ; Trust Fund, Public and Migh School lands, l Upper Canada Building fand, and Land Improvement fand, $2,786 418 ; Share of t the Library at Ottawa, only $105,511 ; Municipal Loan fund $144,135 ; eash iu] * ‘ Pauks, §80,/84, and due by Mechanies Irâ€" l stitutes, Migico farm, Credit Valley R. B.; |$34,458, On the other hand, the Liabilities ‘luf the Provinee consist of Railway Grants \ according to statute, §933,307 ; Due muniâ€" | cipalities $151,110; (iobec‘s share of | School fund, $302,652; Dus on Land Imâ€" : | provement fund, $124,685, making & total of $1,411,755 which deducted from tio amount of assets will give a snrplusâ€"â€"u\ good as eash, and which can be converted ‘ into eashâ€"of $4,430,993. And bo it observâ€" ed that while there is this amount of surâ€" plus to the credit of the Province during tLe Reform regime at Toronto, the Governâ€" ment of Mr. Mowat have returned to the people directly or indirectly over sevenâ€" teen and & half million dollars. This large sum of money has been expended upon Educational purposes, the erection anc wmaintenance of Public Institations, such as Asylums for the insane, deaf and dumb, anl blind, the wauking ef colanization roads, Railways, &e., but however expendâ€" od, by so much the amount of local taxation has been roduced, _ We submit to Mr. Wahoy‘s regard for fair play, that when he intends directing the attention of the clectors at any future time to the question of the surplus, he should consult the figures which we have giyen above, MEETING AT MCCALLUM‘s3 §0HOOL HoUSE.

This was Mr. Hunter‘s second meeting, Mr. Hunter on goming forward explained how he had received the pomaination of the Reform Party, after Deing ¥¥e Representaâ€" tive of the Riding for the past four years. He had always been a eareful student of what was for the interest of his constituents, and was always ready to express his views on publ‘c questions, Referved to the singâ€" ular doctrine propounded at the Durham Meeting by his opponent in regard to education, but he (Mr. Hunter) believed that the poer as well as the rich should have the privilege of having their sons and Jlqughters educated in the higher branches. He then explained the law in regard to the introdugtion of new schooal books. Mr. Geo. Whitmore, of Durham, asked whether they were not obliged to. use the uew books suthorzed if they made a change at all 2 + Mr. Hunter said that there musf be books that were authorized and that when a change was made the books *authorized should be used. Ho then spoke of the mode ot dealing with the surplus by Mr. Mowaé‘s government, and had no doubt they would be as liberal in the future as in the past, in endezrvouring to ameliarate the burdens of the people by returning . to i them in public grants to schools, public institutions , ete., as much of the surples ‘ as possible, â€" He then referred to the pomâ€" ination of Mr. â€" Mewatâ€"in East Toronto, 1 and the high tribute paid to his public and | private character by Conservatives. .

Rightâ€" ly viewed, money is part and parcel of the Gospel, and any minister is recreant to his d ity who does not, among other teachings, as cheumstances require, point out the noâ€" evssity of giving money for this purpose. Strange thing that we can stand almost smy amoent of denunciation of the poor old Pharisees and can admire the spirit and eloquence of a preacher in pitching into i those departed Jewish gentlemon of the ‘Ilmxg robe denominated serivpes and yet if anything is said about money, (unfess in a : very quiet fashon indeed} why, it is h'hei the proverbial red rag to a certain animal, aud we are all down on flie messenger of ] truth, goring and tearing him and threatâ€". ening to rise aud leave his moeting next time he dares to deliver any message but what we want. Anrything but preach home, I verily believe that the groat want of the preaching of the presont day is that, as a rule, it does not enough bring the doetrines and principles of the Gospel to bear npon the ctrrent evils, vices, and faults of every day life, and if church members cannot stand a little polishing off now and the in regard to giving more freely, how is it to lbc expscled that the Gospel will influence more without the Church‘s pale. As far as money is cos:cerned the very best plan for about â€" mmoy â€" don‘s apyls. As for inducing ministers to avoid that particular subject is for each one to give as freely as he is enabled, To all such, anythiog said othors, if the cap fits, the only way to get rid of it is to sacrifice a little sometimes for the sake of giving more liberally. . All our most noted ministers, all the bright galaxy of men who have dong most remarkâ€" I able servige, havs heen men who wore not atraid b#â€"&paghk the tyuth, the whole trauth, and noching but the truth, be #in regard |‘ to money or anythlng else that affected their message. â€" One wellâ€"knownâ€"divineâ€" | now with the silent majorityâ€"om ene ocâ€" |‘ casion of paking a collection said, "we | will now sing a hyimn @uring which anyâ€" | one who don‘s wish to give may sneak off. It may egsily be concluded that not one went. â€" Anothey, on a similay pggasion, had the doors of the church locked while he himself took up the col}estion, Buch men had counted the posf and were not to be de : | } terred from doing good in any=way, by any meyrly conventional ideas. In the long run thgy have their reward, and even in this world it is such men who form stand. ard examples for posterity, We don‘t all need to go back to Jewish times to find Phariseeisn, We have is rampant in the chureh and out of it. ‘The poor drivelling drunkard who makes himself publicly noâ€". tarious is expelled, but the man who robs his neighbor in such a way that the givil law eannot touch him, he may be a pillar of the church, The man that isn‘t a church member sees this phase of modern Phariâ€" seeisim, forgetting that he is a selfâ€"elected Pharisee in deluding himself in the belief that as he professes nothing he is better |than many who profess something.
