+ = us -secure & worthy, faithful and intelli- tion of North Ontario in the Commons of Canads aro now fairly before tho electors and though not making much noise aro very far from being idle, Mr. Wholer is do- ing everything that mortal man can do to secure his alection and Mr. ~ Gibbs is by no meaus an indifforent spectator ; and to our mind the greatest drudgery to which any man can bo exposed is the canvasing el. eotors for their votes. Itisa groat i that men should be subject- ed to the annoyance of huving to go to individual electors to solicit their suffrages, this is certainly putting a burden on candidates which they should have no necessity to bear.-- Electors should be more anxious to gent representative than such ropre- sentative is to secure the represen- tation and so far from worthy repre- sentatives having {0 go round and Bog votes the electors should only be too happy to have an opportunity of securing an honorable, worthy ropresentativo and be more anxions to give their votes than he isto re- ceive them ; a reliable ropresentativo is worth doing anything to secure but political frauds should bo avoid- od 8a a common nuisance as such thoy certainly are. When a constit- uarcy ihappens to be so unfortunate a4 Lo elect such it soon finds it mis- take. Of course such ropresenta- ives will desocnd to any depths to secure the seat, there is nothing too 'mean and humiliatiog for them to :8toop to, their object is to secure the selection and if they sueceed in gott- "ing it no matter bowoorruptly, if no "one protests they ean hold on to their fraudulently secured seat and when they get te the House their votes, influence and everything else that they can control are on (hod anarket for the bighess bidder, self- interest comes bubbling ap to the surface and country, coastituency and all aro forgotten, personal pro- fit and advantage are their only aim and every thing must giveway to these. Mr, Gibbsis a man of atility honor and integrity, a gentleman in 'whose hands the interests of any 'constituency may bo entrusted with 'the utmost confidence, a represent- ative of whom any constiuency might feel proud. If perhaps leas iloquacious than some members no momber of that Ilouse can 'be more ltentive to his duties, guard more faithfully the best interests of his constituents. or be more watchful oyer the country as a whole, and it «cannot bo doubted for a moment that iin the scloction of a representative wt this time North Ontario will show ber preference for the right by giv~ ing Mr. Gibbs such a majority as will eonvince Lim that the Riding is not insensible to the claims of true merit and that the olectors value honor and integrity in a reproben- tative. Mr. Gibbs has been put to a . world of trouble and oxpense in standing up for the purity of elec tion in this Riding. Some milk- ~ 80p may say he need not have inter- fered, be might have let the matter Test; 80 might every one, abuses might all go undisturbed, "let them bat what is to become of our The candidates for the representa: 'lits characteristic ingratitude and principles he advocates let [faithfully rush. There are that North Ontario is not cursed offer a favorable field for political simony, and the man who tries the corruption dodge never fails in gott- ing branded. Tho industrious electors of North Ontario regard the franchise as an important trust to be used only in the best interests of the community at large and not to either the elector or the candidate. Wo expect tosco Mr. Gibbs go in with a rousing majority, but expect- ation without effort will avail no- thing, the votes on clection day prove the only security for victory. ---- A Humble Penitent. -- If the repentance of the Toronto Globe be sincere, though it is rather late, it may be taken at what jt is worth, For the past year and a half he and all the little echoes who were silly enough to follow him have been knowingly and maliciously misre- preseniing Canadian affairs. The Globe barped from day today and the little organs piped from week to week over the fearful stato of the Dominion setting forth that the people were moving almost in mass to the States. That the workmen--all who could move--bad already gone and that only those remained who were 00 poor to move, the anti N. P. sheets vied with each other as to which could tell the darkest tale of woe, how the N. P. was ruining the country, there was no work to be had and if there had been work there was no wages for it and the prices of all commodities had been raised altogether too high for people to purchase. Such wero the glowing pictures drawn by Grit writers, of course, they knew that thoy were making statements as fulseas they were unpatriotic, but it was foolishly expected that they would serve a political purpose by creating a feel- ing against Conservative and in favor of Grit rule. But these ac- commodating writers were reckon. ing without tLeir host for their un- seomly nonsence is having an oppos ite effect to that which tho writers expected. The Globe finding such to bo the fact has completely backed down and says in effect that there was pot a word of trath in all the howling which he and his echoes have been making over the state of the country. A soction of the Americau press believed or rather would like to be- lieve the statements of the howlers in a similar spirit to that which actuated Canadian malcontents. -- The Globe now sees the false posi- tion in which it has placed itself in trying to place the country wrong, and without notifying his echoes of the change of tune he comes bodly out, admits that the statements made by the howlers himself included, were only garbled and untrust- worthy "and the consequence is that the press of the United States is teeming with stories about tho desperate condition in which this Dominion now stands, when the ct is that 1a" revival from tho business depression is going on sat- isfuctorily." The Lindsay Post of last week in| a former friend in a most owing to the laxity and over con- [idence of his friends. Wo say lo every: friend of Mr. Gibbs and of the each leloctér go to work and strive as and as earnestly as if the sucess of the candidato depend- ed on his (the elector's) own individ- uall exertion. Our causo is worth contending for lot us carry it with & authors of the central committee of in all constituen- cies a greator or less number of electors whose votes and influence aro in the market from the word "go" but we are pleased to know with many of such. They, the clectors of N. Ontario, are too intelligent to pander to. the whims or averico of and are following up the same strain | forsaking of friends in advorsity|. the party and foist him on the Con- servatives. If Hurd's allegations be true, and the Grits are tho only ones who are in a position to know, he has alroady suffered enongh with- out being read out of the party, Bogus Authors.

Domi Day at the Port. are bringing disgrace on th Ives and trouble on the department, even the Grittiest of the Grit sheets are beginning to pillory the whole con- cern. The following from the Ham- ilton Times followed by a blast from Dundas Standard will be read with interest by the go-as-you-please Minister of Education and by 'he literary gutter snips who fatten on their pilferings from the labors of otaers. Tho Hamilton Times says:-- The Education Department sheuld have firmly put its foot down and utterly refused to promit the use by any of the schools of any work in which he or any inspector, examiner or similar officer had a direct or even the remotest indirect interest. The p which was ted in favor of Dr. McLellan was short-sighted, unwise and subversive of the rights of teachers to be saved from being thrust into false positions of this kind. It was also a scandal to the department. The fault certainly does not lie with the Central Committee, It does lie with the Minister whose hesitation to revoke the privilege accorded is doing a great deal of harm by perpetuating a state of discontent which should never have been provoked. For the sake of retaining the respect for the aiministration of educational matters which some time ago existed, the Governigent must jnsist upon cancellation of the privilege granted to Dr. McLellan and with bim to Mr. Hughes, wl ose influence, however, is limit ed, being confined to Toronto, or else these gentlemen must be removed from the com- mittee and from the board where they have seats. The scandal is becoming intolerable, and the cause of it thould be removed. No Reform Government can afford to disregard the disapproval which is being expressed." The Dundas Standard putting it a little stronger says:-- The Mail is doing the country good service in exposing the doings of the Central Committee in connection with the publica- tion of bovks from which the members derive a profit. These books possess neither | the merit of originality nor intrinsic value, They are compilations from the books of others and so clumsily put together that the English language is continually outraged in their pages. Yet these are the kooks the youth of Canada arv compelled to 'purchase for the especial benelit of the official plag- imist. It is bigh time the Minister of Education took the matter in hand and put an end to-an outrage, which even some of the members of the committee feel bound, out of respect for themselves, to denounce.

It did not extend over & mile in width but it made havoc with the growing crops in its course, - Messrs. Moffaté, Mc- Brien, Carnegie, Bray and Dr. McBrien are the principal suffers.

Our Greenbank friends will pleaso accept our thanks for their generosity, we have had three reports of the proceedings at the above anniversary all of which were highly en- couraging as tothe success of the anniversary and the prospects of the school. The re- ports of our correspondents, were highly creditable to them and from which we gather the following. The anniversary, which came off on July 1st Dominion Day, was th tf from easly morn ¥ith unfavorable weither but our friends stuck to it and by 11 a. m. had the procession forined and headed by the Sonya Brass Band, marched to the grove. That highly important procession meant verymuch more thea an idle pageant it meant an inter- esting gathering of the young of that locality who are under the able and carefyl tuition of an efficient staf of officers and teachers of the Union Sunday School. On arriving atthe grove all were ready for dinner but an unpropitions shower interfered and delayed proceedings for a time but this only tended to sbarpea the appetites and when the shower had passed away all were soon seat- ed around a plentiful board highly creditable to the culinary skilland good tuste of the fuir ladies who had prepared the repast, After dinner Mr. James Miller, the worthy superintendent of the school, took the chair and the afternoon was most agreeably spent in to dialogues, y &c. from the school children and addresses from rey. gentlemen and others, the excellent Brass Band greatly adding to the enjoyment of the occasion by a generous supply of choice music. The supply of voval music was also very good, Three blind boys from the Brantford institution added much to the attraction by their fino singing. Tea was served in the evening and was well patronig- The entertai t in the ing was given in the church and was in every way worthy of the intelligent and discriminating company present. A rich feast of music instrumental and vocal, a variety of interest ing and appropriate addresses and attrac- tions of an intellectual character, But the fact that $110 was realized is complete and satisfactory proof of the complete financial success of the anniversary.

In way of compensation for this extra labor he would ask the Council to grant him $30 more than the sum allow- ed, $90. Brock pays $120 for assessing that township and Port Perry pays $75 and sure- ly Reach ought to pay $120--it is more difficult to assess than Brock.
