HENRY EIBER, Reeve of ;;tephen, was nominated by the Con- servatives of South Huron as their eondidate for the Ontario Legislative Assembly. Hex. L. II. DAvIES speaking at Aylmer, Que., said the budget would Ise introduced early in the session, and a tariff bill also that would redeem every pledge given by the Liberals. He intimated a reduction of the duties on goods from Great Britain. ANOTHER signal victory was gain_ ed on Tuesday for the Liberals in the constituency of Wright, Que. Mr. Champagne was elected by a major- ity of over 800, over Mr. McDougal the Conservative candidate. This constituency elected Mr. Delvin Lib. in June last by a majority of 335. MR. DAVIESS has introduced a bill respecting the solemnization of mar- riage. The measure renders it necessary that persons, solemnizing marriages must be British subjects and provides that only one of the parties is required to make an affi- davit 1-davit before the issuer of marriage licences, as at present. One section allows a license to be issued for the marriage of persons under fourteen years of age to prevent the illegiti- macy of children, upon prcduction of a medical certificate. The supply- ing of marriage registers is trans- ferred from the county to the 'local municipality, in order that . clergy- men may be brought into direct re- lation with the divisional registrar or recorder of vital statistics, THE Dundas Banner says the mistake that some of the temperance people are now making is this : "They seem to be under the impres- sion that all that Mr. Hardy has to do is to say that the law shall be amended in this way or in that way, and straightiVay it will be so amend- ed. They seem to imagine that Mr. Hardy can put any sort of law on the statute book that he desires. But do nothing can do of the sort. He can only go as far as his followers are willing to follow him. Each representative has to reckon with his • own constituency, and the attitude of eaeh member depends on how far his own constitueney is willing to go. The idea that the representatives are like a flock of sheep following a shepherd may be a very pretty one but it does not describe the relation of a leader to his followers. Mr. Hardy has no desire to wreck his government, and Can only go as far in the direction of prohibition as the glen behind him, representing the people, are willing to go. No repre- sentative of the people is justified in ignoring public opinion, as he finds it." ELECTING OFFICIALS. The Belleville I'ntelligeneer (Coil- servative, in a leading article, com- ments on the action of theTory oppo- sition in the Legislature. The paper sayer—"We recognize that the two great politleal parties—and under our fou. of Gooternwatit there can only be two --are %ended on until e. ly different principles and have sup. ported the Conservative party be- caum we were thoroughly in accord with its principles and because we believed that it, and it alone possessed the instincts and traditions of Government. , , The Local Opposition has to our mind flirted too rnueh with radicalism in the past and only result has been to lower its dignity and lessen its in- fluence, Tlie majority of the people of Ontario are Conservative in all their views and habits as Sir Oliver Mowat well knew and never forgot The Conservative standard is higher, than the Reform as the people well know and Conservative failure has 1 come just when, and because, individual leader judged by that standard have been held as entirely unworthy. No one can con- tend that the motion a few days ago to have Registrars and other county officials appointed by municipal bodies is in accordance with either Conserv- ative principles or traditions, The policy of leaving the appointment of local officials to popular election may be quit; proper and reasonable: in a Patron platform. It is just such a crude theory as would command itself to the minds of men who, doomed to poverty and obscurity in the the old parties, try to arrogate to themselves, although destitute of any political knowledge or experience as statesmen, the leadership and emolu- ments of a new party. This motion is to our hind a departure from sound principle and a weak compromise with the Patron views. The measure is illogical in theory, vicious in design unworkable in practice, and defeas- ible only on the ground - that the votes of a few radical dupes may be thereby won."

It relies upon the powers granted by the Dominion Parliament, at the interest of the Macdonald tlovenment in the four- teenth section of tee notorious con- tract which says; "The company shall have tbe right to lay out, construct, maintain, equip and work branch lines of rail- way, from any point or points along their main line, within the territory of the Dominion. Provided also that before commencing any bralich they shall first deposit a map of such branch in the Department of Rail- ways.

If the government, and the parlia- ment have nit the power to prevent the Canadian Pacific from building the Crow's Nest Pass Railway, then the people of Manitoba, the North- -vest and British Columbia, who are vehemently protesting against de- livering them over tor• a second time to the power of a monopoly, should be given plainly to uncierstand that the thing is done and the govern- and the parliament are powerless to prevent it. Instead of that there has been endless discussion as to whether the government shsuld per- mit the Canadian Pacifie Company to take possession of the only fees ible pass south of the pass they al- ready hold, and whether the Cana- dian Pacific should be allowed to construet the road. As the Canadian Pacifiers proceeding with the con- struction of the road, there seems nothing to bedone but to bow to the despotic power of the company. But at least there is no reason why the Canadian Parliament should sub- sidize the company to build the line. which it would lilt could,preven t them fions banding altogether, If Canada las to buy lack the monopoly poi. ers granted the Canada Paeifie Railway Company at a cost of three or five millions, let it be at least clearly understood that the money thus spent is not it subsidy for the road, but sitnply a new grant to the evening on the invitation of W Clilnie, and had one of the most en- joyable skates of the season.
