If there ever was a government in exist- ence'that did all in its,power to administer the affairs of the country in a judicious and economical Manner --that, kept the best interests of the -people ever in .view there is one now in existence in Ontario;and if there ever was one that was most" falsely and foully slandered by its political oppon- ents it is that•governrneut. :From the time that Mr. Mowat took the ,reigns of govern- ment till the present nothing has been done that was detrimental to the country,: and nothing left undone thatmight enure to its advantage, and even its,enemies have not teen able to discover or -make but the most frivolous charges. against it. One - complaint is that' they aro dilatory,: in bringingon the elections to fill eight seats that have become vacant • through deaths and resignations, asserting that these con- stituencies are injured by their non -repre- sentation. Even iff'it wer-e:convenien't for. farmers and others, to attend to- election matters just now—as everyone knows very well it is not—what injury or -loss is"sus rained by not bringing onthese: electrons, in a hurry, as parliament will not meet.' for some months yet, and those constitu encies that have , representatives are no better off than those without thein at! present.. Another complaint is.that`the local:gov ernment-have unjustly assumed control of the license system' •'This ls,a very foolish' and weak charge; ,and utterly at variance with the truth, for the facts are they are as much in the hands of the people as they ever were. The men appointed on the commission are selected for their fit- ness for ,the duties; without reference to' their party proclivities, and ae by ve;neve'r heard of a case where they have made any distinction in the granting oflice.nseaso far as politics are concerned. It is utter -non- sense and falsehood to say that the ,com- missioners_m this.:connty have used 'their to fuither_th interests. cif their' party. If it has been the ci se then op,.: _ponents of the local government have,been, equally guilty, as some of thein are mem- bers iu the comtnlsstons and to assert such a thing would be :absurd, as .they w( Id be doing violence to their- own political opinions. • • The 'War in Egypt naturally absorb NW. w i:t1 STRETC11EK S. Thefollowing is from Monday's Mail:- "Another large organ factory is to be started here (in Clinton) about the first of ,September. The now extensive factory of \Vim Doherty & Co. was a. very small affair prior to 1878, but now they turn out almost as many organs in a montl as they ;did before that date in a year. They intend in a Vol"; short time to make double the quantity they are turning out now. The nese factory will no doubt also receive a fair share of patronage, and al- though the members of the ,.firm are old- time Grits they will soon see that the N. P. is a'good thing for their business. There is also a tall. of a factory being erected for C'Ihe mane#actutie. : oforgan reeds ..liere,_and_ as Clinton has. got, a railway ,running north, south, east; and west, there could notbe any better shipping point. Clip- ton is now considered the live town of the 'Vest, leaving far • behind neighboring gowns, and there is nothing but the N. P. and"SirJohn-A. to thank for our present. prosperity efad the.

Phe new factory has fallen -through for the present, and by a Parity of reasoning, the N. P. should:be blamed fortlhe failure. tlnd.if the N. P. alone has caused. Clin- ton's prosperity; surely it was .the N. P. that caused the,other towns to stand idle. The writer of the above paragraph perhaps May not be "the :biggest: fool in creation," - but he is only one degree removed there- _ frOLY1. here_from. ) A paragraph-is'going the rounds of the, press stating that a woman troubled with dropsy, was cured by the use of; gin and h'uckl'eberries. We don't doubt the cure, but are of the opinion that many men will n.ow'manifest drop -sisal ,tendencies, who have not heretofore been so inclined. I The distillers'. of they Western States -have recently been in convention, and they have adopted a resolution recom- mending the closing of 'saloon's on Sun- day and a high license.' :Temperance sen- timent is growing in the United States more than Canada, it must .be confessed, and a, certain class'of politicians, here are:, ebidently'determined that what Progress has been.made.shall be upset, judging by thefrantic and unscrupulous efforts of the Mail to create a sentiment; against the present admirable License Law.
