Pteareity of 1 ann.-, Noticing the ravages made by death iu tne ranks of the Democratic party, by vnich Mc- Clellan, Seymour, Hancock and Tilden, till presidential candidates', have been taken within a twelvemonth, the Philadelphia Times refleotively says that "The saddest part of it all is that no big men seem to be growing up., in either party, to take the vat cant places. Thia feature of modern politics is by no means confined to the United States, The exceeding scarcity, not merely of great, but of big men, has frequently of 'late fur- nished a subject of comment in England and Canada. The unique position occupied by Mr. Oladatone in Britain, as hied and shout. dere above both his colleagues and leading opponents, is in some respect' paralleled by the situatioo in Canada, where the existence of the Tory party, as at present organized, hangs on the frail tenure of Sir John Mac- donaJd's political life. The "big men" are all dead or aged. and seem destined to leave no successors when they vanish from the scene. This condition of things is due in no small measure to the ironclad partyisin of tbe age. The tendency of the requiretnents of party allegiance is to drive out of public life men of independence of thought arel decided opinions, and to put forward men t f colorless views and no principles - sinooth.tongued, plausible trimmers, who have ncquired the faculty of being all things to all ineu. The party platforms, to a very large extent, ignore or gloss over the political questions of real importance and interests, and are a mere jumble of platitudes and rceanieMs phrases. Let a rising politician say that his soul is his own, -and to-expressepealteve-ideas rnasdireo tion net authorized by the party formula of belief, and forthwth he is ostracised, and driven out as a dangerous man, (me who 'will . make enemies. Is it any wonder that great men, or even "big men," are.not reared under a system which thus tends to the "sur- vival of the uufittest ?" • The News is uuneeessarily worried oyer the absence el' what it calls "big men.' ,There are any number of young nen In the political ranks to-Aax...,1-(wcnot going to,say_tlierareenflued to ono aide _et -polities) who will make just .as able statesoien as any who occupy positions of trust now. When the occasion calls for good men to take their stand in the affairs of life, then plenty of good men will be Lound. The "iron -clad partyism of the age," deplored by the News, has no exis. tence, so far as it relates to the Liberal party at any rate. Was not this shown, when protectionist Liberals deserted their party to support a protective policY. And has, not the News repeatedly deplored the " lack of harmony" that prevailed among Liberals. And what was this lack of har- mony, simply that men of independent thought expressed their. convictions re- gardless of their party allegiance. It is not a fact in the Liberal.party at any rate, that a politician may not express ideas, contrary to the generally accepted belief of' that party. :Take the question elf the Senate, or that of Canadian Iedependence. as an, ithistratiOn. The News knows per- fectly well that opinion on these queetions is divided, seine Liberals favor an elective Senate, while others would 'abolish it ah together; some Liberals are op'pbsed t� Canadian independence. while oth.ers are heart and soul in favor of it. But no restriction is Placed upon those who take either side of these questions. They are at perfect liberty to 'discuss the matter where, when and how they please. The News is continually growling about'"our system orlectiring representative men being defective," and yet it suggests no better. It begins to look as if there was an editor. on the News who is troubled with an attack of dyspepsia every other qlay, and has the blues between times. - • shoran be Kepi in mine, To read the 3Iail and other exponents of Coneeryative policy, it might tie- sup- pased that theeeieltedearest to the Reform heart, next to the defeat of the Dominion Government, is the failure of the Canadian racific Railway. Now that. tlikt, great undertaking -for great it is -is completed and Sir John hb.0 traveled over the entire line, ta,kieg all possible credit unto him. 3elf en route, the Conservative press teems with praise of the road, with glorification of the greet John A.,, and with denuncia- tion of the Reform party for its coutse in respect to the nativity. this is natural enough, but it is done Lc create a false im- pression throughout the country. The Reform party has. not been areieetirerof the road -hat; not been antagonistic to it It has siraply felt that the policy adopte'd by the Government in its dealings with theSynd 'en te that ccestructed and is opera* ing tbe line, was one fraught with danger to tbe Dominion; was calculated to lead to national bankruptcy, and was a direet violatiq of the trust reposed by the people in the Government. Feeling thus, the lteform party protested,but in vain,against the recklais and extravagant concessions made by the Government of Sir John Macdonald to the Syndicate. txtitordin ary inducements offered at the outset to , the Syndicate Were supplemented frono " time to time by loans and privileges of such extent that virtually the people of Canada have built the road awl handed it over to a company of capitalists, teerese' if it secures a leusiness large enough to make it a profitable work.
