The rights of the Provinces have been seriously threatened by federal arroâ€" gance, and, in Ontario at least, this matâ€" ter shall have preâ€"eminence in the coming eontest. Not culy has a covert and cowâ€" ardly attempt been made to rob this Pro vince of one half of its territory, but the right of eontrolling,by our local legislation, over the internal railway lines of Ontari », is being tampered with, and legislation exâ€" elusively belonging to the Legislative Asâ€" semably has been ruthlessly, recklessly and impotently overridden. At such a time every elector is ecalled upon not to decide ’ simply whether Tories or Reformers shall yule, but whether the Confederation, which has so far been fairly succsssful, shall be seattered to the winds.

Notwithstanding the assertions of the ‘Tory press to the contrary, persistently and often repeated during the last few months, it is now undeniably apparent, that a Doâ€" ramion general election will take place durâ€" ing the present year, and that even before midsummer, the die will be east which shall determine whether Canada shall be well or badly governed during the existence of another parliament. The prospects of a deficient fall wheat crop, the n&;ly inâ€" ereasing discontent of Manitoba, the growâ€" ing distrust of the people, the system of public plunder, known as a protection tarâ€" iff, and the conviction that Canadians canâ€" not be much longer deluded by the glitter ing bauble held by a clever juggler before their eyes, have convinced Sir Joln that, although he has still a majority at his back and his Parlinment has still anothor year | to run, he must s‘rike at oree, if he would | snateh another victory. In view of such|â€" faets, the Reformers of South Grey have‘ I done wisely, in placing their eandidates in , ‘ the field, and it is evident that they have not acted a day too soon. In d iug this, l 1 however, they but begin the good work | 1 which is before them. With & good eause | 1 and an cxcelient eandidate, their success is | t already assured, if they go about that work | 1 in a manner befitting its importance. They have but to organize to win, but their orâ€" | p gwmization must not be confived to mere /y paper resolutions. _ Every school section, | j every concession, has its own special work.’ p and the active men of the rarty never had /; greatar responsibilities than at the present | t moment.

There is no doubt if James Cleland, Esq. of Meaford will accept the nomination that he will be the unanimous choice of the Reâ€" form Party in East Grey, for the House of Commons. ~Mr. Cleland is a gentleman of stirling character, is Â¥ery popular all through the Riding, and it an united effort was made, there is no reason why heshould not be elected by a dair majority. _ _Messrs. Cameror, Brown, of Markdale, Melutyre of Osprey, and T. Nichol of Piceville, and others,gave stirring addresses in the Reform interest in East Grey, but as there was not a full representation from all parts of the Riding it was thought adâ€" v‘sable not to nominate Candidates at that meeting but the Convention was adjourned to meet sgain in Flesherton on the 18th day of June at 2 oiclock p. m, ’ On Tuesday last a.meeting of the Reâ€" form Convention of East Grey was held in‘ the Township hall, Flesherton. In the ab" sence of the President, John Camero®,/ Esq., Deputy Reeve of Holland, was apâ€" pointed to take the chair. There was a good representation from Osprey and Arâ€" temesia, with several delegates from Eunâ€" phrasia and Proton, but as the roads wers| in a very bad state, there were none from St. Vincent, Collingwood tp. or Meaford.

Can you wonder, Mr. Editor, that scarlet fever (scarâ€" latina) and diphthoria are so prevalent ? Is it not the duty of the School Board to look after this yery important part of this affair?

It appears that some person or persons have been circulating false r®eports in reâ€" gard to the Middaugh.Â¥ouse of this Town. This Hotel is one 6f the finest and best apâ€" pointed in the province, and the admiration of all who hbave stayed in it, and it is ridiâ€" culous to immagine that its sanitary conâ€" dition is defective. Mr. Middaugh on 1x ing informed of these rumors at once took steps to set the matter right as the following Medical certificate will show :â€" rest| _ We have seen many sp’ufim‘em of ‘Mt.' preâ€" | Richardson‘s fancy cardâ€"writing, etc., and know him to be eyen better on paper than â€"»â€"]| on the blackâ€"board. After this writing question Jigd been duly discussed we had was | a stirmng address from D.

He showed specimens ng of these books, so far as paper, binding,and by iMustrations are concerned ; all of which t] | look well, and appear to be of first class a. | quality. â€" But of the reading matter we saw he | but little, as they are not yet completed. a] | He read a good deal from the new text 5. | books of Gage, copies of which are alread y | ,p | in the bands of some of our teachers.

We regret that Mr. Bnyle‘ could not remain any time after ddineriugl his address, as he hbad to tuke the noon !o train, for it led to no small amount of lhvely | p« discussion.

But a few | th |quiet and able remark® from Mr. Telford ’ | principal of the Walkerton Public Schools| "® | soon showed that nolens volens a change ; o |of the kind was inevitable at no very disâ€"| x taut day, and that, therefore, the tenchers | It of Ontario must just make the best of it, by | a 1 peiitioning the Minister of Education to| authorize no text books until they have |*°¢ been duly examined and approved by the | :}:: Provincial Teacher‘s Association, after havyâ€" | to ing first been rpproved by the local Assoâ€"| 1 ciations.
