We call special attention the Mass Meeting of the Electors of South mind tario, and which is being industriously spread to the effect that Meredi will recant the principles Jaid down in his London speech and will fail back on a policy of pence towards all men. Referring to the rumor Mr, Meredith said --- It had been said by a. newspaper that spoke of him as a man of houoor, that there might be some truth in the statement that after a conference with the Dominion Gov ernment it had been decided # him (the speaker) to abandon or modify his course in regard to the Separate School Act and the amendments proposed during - the last ses- sion. He desired to give that assertion a a most emphaticand unqualified contradic tion, and pro that he would be the most consumate ass on earth and a knave to boot if be shoud do #0, . His mind was made up totakethe courselaid down at the last session of the House, and if 'returned be would endeavor: to put it in - practice, I was s_slander and untruth to say, as had been sid, that his party was not behind him in that action, very man in the Opposition was loyally in accord with and assentod to the policy on which the Opposi- tion was going to the country. It is up a Blind Alley. If the Liberal party had only taken the right road in the Reil question ! It would have stood to-day as a de feated but not dishonored organization In the House of Commons the number of members behind Laurier might have been fewer, 'but the Opposition could have been numerically weaker without being crippled by a record which is its worst enemy. 5 Kiveralistn would nok: inct in Qi n eb x during bis| t | Jos.

Newspapers, like individuals, are sometimes apt to indulge in prophecies and wild statements in advance in of an election ; but surely the boss of all that is unfortunate must have been at the elbow of the Ottawa Free Press when he penned: the fol- lowing a day before the electifn in that city :-- "The friends of the Mowat Government | mise that it is necessary to unite upon d place him at the head of hereas a _ | give the whole Meredith tosh combinatior Hence it is necessary that every man who desires to see the Mowat Government sus- tained and Mr. Hay defeated should mark his ballot for Mr. Chrysler. A vote for Mackintosk is a vote for Meredith, and both V | should be buried out of sight. = With a solid Liberal vote for Mr. Chrysler he will havea thousand majority."

General Grant used to think that the war was ended when Lee _sarrend, ered at' Appomatox, but it would 'seem to be the purpose ' of some Te. publicans, twenty-five years after the dishandwent of the -Oonfederate army and five years after the death of Grant to roll back the wheels of time to 1865 and begin the work of reconstruction over again. The majority in congress should carefully ponder the past ex- perience of the party--an experience still fresh in the public recollection-- in undertaking to do impracticable things and work political mirucles by Federal interference and usurpation of the rights of States, before plunging anew into kindred perils with the moral certainty of harvesting a similar crop of disasters. It cannot afford, at this juncture of events to hazard its sicoess by abandoning the vast res ponsibilities that rest upon it as: a conservator of the interests of «the whole people aud resorting to arbitrary uses of power which are sure to react upon itself to its own humiliation and defeat, Congress has before it: some of the most momentous questions that ever ounfronted the law-making power involving the credit of the Govern: ment, the relief of the pedple from unnecessary taxution, the upbuilding of commerce, the encouragement of agrichlture, the increase of the *cur ste attention, 18 to forfeit the solenn pledges of the party ond Mm.

Ee : Representatives of ten of the seven: teen nations participating in the inter national American conference have signed the sgreement drawn up by the conference for the settlement by arbi tration of 'differences and disputes be- tween them. Among the nations which signed. the treaty were Brazil, Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador, Guate- wala, Salvadot-and * Honduras. This arbitration treatygis the one which to in tho Pan-American conference and recommended to | the various countriesrepresented in the conference. 1t could not be adopted by the repre- sentatives of these countries inthe conference; but was referred by them to their home governments which have authorized = their ministers to the United States to meet in Washington 'and sign for them. It is believed that all of the countries in the conference will sign éventually. This is the 'crowning-act inthe conference as this was the principle business for. which they were called. One of the extrewe- ly interesting features in. connection with the signing of the treaty was the evident appreciation by the signers of | the fact that thé occasion was ove which will be historically great.
