Britain and Ireland has been so roughly shaken by V raging there, Canada, unfortunately, has i just taken a step which plunges her deci- sivelv into as great and momentous a question, the solution of which will not , he arrived at until the very foundation of our Oonttitution is well nigh wrecked. Great Britain through her blundering lost the United States, allowed us to betilched of Maine, and sowed the first seeds of dis- cord in Quebec, of which we shall so abundantly reap the fruit. When in 1793 Canada should have had a clean sheet to commence with, our Mother Country at the very outset conrmed us in two races with two tongues or languages, looking only torthe policy of the hour ' rather than that of the future, and trust- mg that time would gradually and gently blend us into an harmonious whole. The French institutions, religious andsecular orders,characteristics, and laws, other than the criminal law, were allowed to remain in Quebec. Handicapped then at first we haye come down through time in no will ing mood to coalesce. Content to run in the same old bigotted rut, our sister province has not even kept pace with France, and in her nresent discontented, darkened, _Rip-van-mnkle state, instead of, being an help-meet in our politieal,a_nd national exigences, she is butea millatone , round our necks.

If this is the view of the majority of the people of Ontario, confederation is doomed. We cannot however believe this to be the feeling of the people. There were inuences brought to bear upon the people of Haldimand which would not be likely to affect other constituencies, and the most that can be acid of the Haldi- mand election ind that the Grits have III vvyvuui 33 hi; fortnight. mi. 3fa'Z'}'oa"':5o";":13 ,_ years been a Grit preserve, and although 'i at the last election Mr. Thompson re- . polled Grit vote in the county, which for ; some reason or otl.er the late ,rner..ber` ' did not get There" is nothing especially disappointing in the result when the t whole situation is_-considered.

The idea is_ that a newly "en- franchised community are disposed to support the party that confers the privi- lege upon them. Hodge in the English counties was induced to cast his vote for Mr. Gladstone. The Indians of Haldi- mand, as wards of the government were, the Grits declared, to be forced to vote for the "Conservatives candidate. Well, the majority of this Indian vote for Mr. Merritt was only 28,. so that whatever in- uence was brought to bear upon these government wards was Grit influence, as was shown by one after another going up to the polling booths and muttering the word Coulter. -ist is the duty of a watchman. `If the watchman see the sword come and blow not the trumpet, and the people be` not warned, if the sword come and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity ; but his blood will I require at the watohman s hand.

Why should the Government be con- demned for doing. its dutyunder trying circumstances? Nay, why should it not bewarmly supported for its fearlass im- partiality in dealing with Riel? There is something very humiliating in the idea of men stumping the country, the chief plank of their platform being an outcry against the Government. who hanged a murderer and a rebel, after every form of justice and every court up to the Privy Council had concurred in his death sentence.

The journalist who fails to expose iniquity because the perpetrator occupies a high" social position is guilty of a wrong to society which proves him to, be unworthy of the high position he has assumed.

Mr. Edgar dealt out gas, Mr. Patterson dwelt with peculiar emphasis on the scandals revealed during the last session of parliament. Mr. Charlton scared the farmers by telling 1 them of the mortgage of their farms by I the N atonal debt, illustrating his story by . telling. them that if wagons, each carrying forty bushels at one dollar a bushel were lled so as to represent the public debt, they would reach several times, if not more, from Halifax to Port Moody or the l moon. That sort of silly twaddle was deemed necessary to use to retain a con-` stituency, which has not returned a Gon- servative candidate during the last fty. years.

In a short holiday trip `over a familiar route we nd many matters of interest and many proofs of the general progress" of the country. In spite of Grit creaking, fault nding and-assertions that the land is going to destruction, there are signs on all sides of business activity and increasing prosperity. Harvest operations are about nished and seeding is well on._ The yield of grain in many cases have exceed- ed the promise of the spring. New, com- modious and tasty farm houses have taken the place of the more unpretentious frame. buildings of a few years ago. In com- paring the condition of the Canadian farmer with that of the same class in Great Britain and Ireland the contrast is indeed great. There is an independence an I am monarch of all I survey" feeling, pxperiencedby the owner of a Canadian farm, so di'erent from that of the ordinary tenant farmers of the old sod, signicant of what industry and thrift will do for the poor man in this happy land of ours. `'7 A This season We have turned our attention especially, to a selection of a complete Stockof Ladies But- ton and Lace` Boots, in French Kid, PolishCalf, Bright Goat, & French Oil Goat,and as every pair is sold for the Cash We have decided to make the prot on our goods st11I I" 'w3( )V'1):a:ii`--o`}'-.1\`Ee i1 s Long $2.40, Worth $2.75. 60"-"'}*'M L $1.99Av5 'h$2.2FS mg an c- 1 - _._ % 900 Pair of Boys Lace for 75 cents up 0 f."0I\ ..._.g__ (5 `R Q 1- SPOT cAsI-Isuos HOUSE.
