The incident that our Hamilton contemepority recalls to our memory is utterly unirue in every particular, ‘The Times alludes to our want of courtesy, but we are bound to say that courtesy towards ll journal that so recklessly disregards the truth would be quite out of place. If our contemporary wouldâ€" know â€" something }About Cornwall politics, which it certainly does not, il will find the subject adumirably 'discu-od in an article quoted in another golumn from the Seaforth Expesifor, There is unusual stir in political ciroles all over the country in consequence of the forthsoming election for the Ontari> Legiss lature, which is not unlikely to take ph%o early next year, We notice that the Tory journals have every now and again astonâ€"â€" ished their reacers by announcing with & frightened air that the Legislature was to be dissolved immodhul;, and that, to use their own words, the elections were‘to be «srung ‘ upon them.. ‘{t does not take any great «mount of insight into bidden motives to understand what all this is for l'lha organ: have played so many tunes upon this, instrament, and they ars indiâ€" vidually so litle in barmony one with another, that even their most ardent admirecs and sympatbizers must have their feelings somewhat outraged by their jarr» |ing noises, â€"‘lhe truth unquestionably is that there is apathy in the Tory ranks, lum for all the piping re have had fo" the past three years, there has verily been precious little danc‘ing. And who shall blame an honest Conservative if he refuses l to grow gay over the ribald ranting of the quartette which headaâ€" the Upposition in Toronto. . They commenced badly, and they will erd badly. From the time when they fiâ€"hed the ©@speak now‘" paper out of the spittoons or waterâ€"closets of the Parliament Buildings up to the time when â€" Charlie Rykert, like a little wearel that hbe is, sprreptitionsly or otherwiseâ€"which we know notâ€"enâ€" tered the bedâ€"room of the Commissioner of Agriculture, and, apparen»*", fi~ding potbhing which he thought WwOrtk «.. ,.~& awayâ€"at least so far ag we have yet beon able to learn~nothing which would help to decorate his own palitial residenceâ€" nothing which would bring a decent sum at a pawnbroker‘sâ€"he crept out agaim cat.like, and proceeded forthwith to manuiacture the . silly " Mreâ€"â€"â€"" slander. That. he had . examined everyâ€" thing pretty closely, that he searched every corner with the discerning scrutiny of an experienced old clo‘ man, we are assured from bis owo testimony, for he has proclaimed to th@world that upon Mr. Mackellar‘s bed he found a counterpaue on which the coun‘ry had a clear loss of fifty cents. Let the ** honest yéomanry," the "hardy sons of toil," ponder over thatâ€"a dead loss of filty cents, upon & courtsrpane ! It is not by any means surprising, we repeat, that decent men of any shade of politics should refuse to tollow in the lead of such characters as Boultbee, Lauder, and Rykert. When the Administration of any portion of the Dowinion of Cansda devoires upon men ofsuch questionable antecedents, it will indeed be time for us to grave‘ly conclder ‘whether, after all, the London Times is not right in suggesting some im« provement of hur federal system of gorâ€" ersment.. la the mean lime, however, there is not the slightest probability of | any event arising. which will cause us seriously to pouder that suggestion. Un the contrary, every indication points to & decroase in even the small jollowing of the: present Ontario Opposition, and to the entire exclusion from public life of all the preséent leaders, Lauder can never get elected again by the constituency which twice witnin two years returned Dr. Lan« deikin; Boultbes has not the ghost of.a chance in North York, where he had only a majority of eight ia the first instance, ‘and where less than a year ago Mr. Dyâ€" mond was returned by a majority of over two bundred ; Charlie Rykert e,.n never be eeturned sgain for Lincoln; and Mr. Cameron, the only decent man z the lot, whose exciusion from public life would be a positive loâ€"s, admitted in the Legislature last yeatr thait in cpposing the solution of the Orange Bill diffisuity, proposed by Mr, Mowat, he was practisally ensuring bis own defeat in case he offered his serrices to the «l c:ers of East Toronto again, M.. Cameron, _ although an able and successful lawyer, and a man of acknowledged personal probity and homeâ€"ty, has never been successful af a politi¢ianâ€"indeed, has been a positive t.ilure, especiaily as a leader. His manner and uticrances are characterised by that ascerbity and insincerity â€"which a long experience at the criminal bar is to create, and bis public rpeaking pu‘nn so much of the gharacter of special pleid= ng tmt must perforce ruin the political« reputstion of the man who resorts to it. It is said that sad experience has brought tiim to i:dara himself that his failure in public life has complete, that his ideas are too mh:\rntive and reactionar) for even the most genuine Tory <f the present day, and that, having sacriticed hitoselt on the altar of his p=rty in En,.l» Teéronto, he wiill disappear fo. 1y = Scom the political arena, devoting in :c.. © *‘ life to his extensive and lucrative practice in the Court of Queen‘s Bercch. As for the other three who have associated themâ€" selves with him in leading the Tory forâ€" lorn hope in Ontario, the sooner thay step "down and out" the better for their party. They havre hung like a millstoxe about Mr. Cameron‘s neck, and about the neck of every | decent â€"Conservative, agd although theis absence from the lipuse would be a numerical loss, the net resuit would be a grest gain, especially in honesty and respectability. When the Tomes of Ontario have purged themselves of questionable characters of this descrip~â€" tipn, when they have learned that tbeir !only bope of success is to wait until they ein take issue with the Liberal Governâ€" ment upon some peint of public policy, -?d when they have ceased to expest fio1 rile into pow.â€"r by throwing unfounded |‘fd Uiackguarly insinuations sg.inst ihe réputaiion of theit opporentsâ€"â€"then, and I&smmen,nudthnyhoyouuuhore-- peotabie portion of the people of the Proâ€" vince, io their politics what they may, will put that trust and confidence in J;lg_:- which would entitle them to rank as comâ€" petitors for public office. We have every fg‘th in the forthcoming election that 11s result will be a denunciation in the plainest | and most unmistakable manner of the sys« tem of espionage to which the public men of Untario have of late been subjectâ€"a syse tem which hais the functions of L Pul;mhmuu from the 6x« THE LOCAL ELECTION®. common detective, the eavesâ€"dropper, and ; the retailer of private scandal,. For the | credit of the Province it is to be hoped | our faith has not been misplaced. The| legitimate duties of an Opposition under | our constitutional form of Government are high, honourable and necessary to the perâ€" | fect working of the administrative machiâ€" | nery.. A strong, honest, upright, vigilant Opposition, able to command the respect: 'u:d confidence of Parliament and tho' country,â€"able, moreover, in case their opponents have, in the inso:utable course | of political events, ceased any longer to command a majority in the Legislature and among the people, to conduct the administration of public affairsâ€"is a conâ€" sideration only secondary in importance and only very litile less.necessary than a talented and honest government. Of the performance of these legitimate and : honorable functions, the quartette in op«â€" position to Mt. Mowat‘s Gorernment have shown themselves completely inca: pable. 1t was sufficient for them to know that the Government proposed a particular l legisiative msasure, and their most facâ€" tious and | unreasoning opposition wi* I ensured. For the sound, farâ€"seeing policy of common sense mer, who were willing: to wait, and make use of the opportuni i ties which are always open to a Wideâ€"awake oppositionthey substituted a opurse of unâ€" reasoning and unreasonable obstruction, wasting the eountry‘s time and money in silly equabblirg about that which invoived | neither a defect in principle nor a loss in practice, and in attacks, not upon th* | public policy of their opponanu‘ bu::?n f their private characterâ€"behaving them: selves, in short, as if they were assis in |legislating for the thieves, robbers and murderers of a penal colony, rather than in making laws for the government of a province exceediog in population, wealth» enterprise, and inielligence, all the other | piates of this great Confederstion, ' If vhere is one thisg more than another in this wide worli in which we have un« bounded faith, it is in the high morality of public sentiment in Ontario and through~ out the whole of Canada. We believe that no man, or set of men, can with impunity keep up a practice or practices by which that morality is cutraged, without soomer or later being soundly punished theretor by the united condemnation of the people. The electors of Untario have borne with such petty tricksters as Lauder and Rykert long and patiently emough, but the day is not far distant, we believe, when they will condemn them to that oblivion from which it would have been well {or the couniry had they never emerged. That better men will rise upto lead the Comer-] vative party |we â€" both hope and beiiere, and |when such men do. arise, our system of _ government will net deny them their turn at the helm of State,. They must be content to wait, however, until memory of pettifoggers and character politicians, like Lander aad Rykert, has teenâ€"bloited from the 1e« cords of their party, until the buffoonery ot a Boulibee has become a thing of the distsnt past, until an everâ€"chinging public sentiment has turned in their fayour oliu1 own accord, and they have ceased to make the sourrility of Billingsgate and the Saut* ' market do duty for the logic of statesment We note with pleasure <the fact that tho] Liberal Party momnt the Province ate taking care to name such standardsbesrers ‘ for the coming contest »= will, both in point of ability and personal standing, command the respect of right thinkin, men of both parties, The Befcrmers 0 Ottawa have not as yet formaliy announ any particular action so far as the séle of a party candiiate is conserned, al though it is pretty well understood whq will carry the Tory fag.

Â¥ Txs Posie Scmoous.â€"A writer in Saturday‘s Pres Press in a dissertation on the Public Scbools makes a great many misâ€"staternents, and for one so cognizant ot school affairs as the writer apparently is, such errors are entirely inexcusable. in the matter ?‘l‘o coct of Cenmlml Soho?:, the price is under estimated, and it is yvery rudent to raise unnsopssary alurm as \:P‘“ condition of the Central School East,. when the writer well â€"kpows, or at least ought to know, that an effi:ient inâ€" spection of the building was made and it was pronounced perfecily safe, Another very serious blunder m:de is, assumin, because teachers bhave recently mdog in getting certain certificates that they are entitled to a corresponding increase in their salaries. Saisries for the year have beea esiimated for and will be prid the teachers employed, and it is not right to mislead the public as to the amonnts paid for this service. ‘ihe schedule of prices will not ,o jnto effect till the commenesâ€" ment of another year, and until official effect is given i0 such schedule it is time enough to give such intelligence to the public.
