A change is wanted. It is time the
Railway eonanittee rendered an account
of their stewardship. If anything has
been done, the public in whose interests
they have been working should receive

nothing the public should he made aware

from the Tories. Ile result of the bye -
elections can be taken as an indication
of the feeling at present prevailing in
the Province. It shows that the people
are in favor of good government, self
government and provincial rights, and
that the honest and capable adininiatrs-
tion led by that able and conscientious
man, Hon. Oliver Mowat, is deserving
of their support. It tells us that right

too the sound Liberal principles which
are championed by the present Ontario
Government.
The return of Mr. H. P. O'Connor in
South Bruce by a rousing majority, will
be much appreciated in the section. Mr.
O'Connor spent his youth in Goderich,
and made 'flatly friends here, as indeed
he dues everywhere.
Balfour's victory in South Essex is a
grand one, and Rayside's re-capturt of
Glengarry is a matter of rejoicing.
West Hastings 'lone returns a Con-

The witnesses Vanst one and Saunders
both say that immediately after Sturdy
had taken the oath, polled his vote, and
left the booth, the deputy returning offi-
cer remarked, "I would not have taken
that oath if I was Sturdy," and yet he
cannot now remember how much or how
little of the oath was taken.
it is not for us to say whether Sturdy
was properly sworn or not; a jury will de-
cide that question inside of n week. But

swore he wos, and although the de-
puty returning officer with the short
memory did net know whether the oath

speaking .of the idscontinuance of " Mar-

Guelph Herald says: -
Ina school where both Catholics and

neither plersant nor advisable that a chili
should be called upon to parse sucha
phrase as " vassal slaves of bloody Rome,'
or r8ad with too close attention the amour
of Mannion with Constance, or take as

charge was that the defendant made a
