OOR(.A N IZE! • To win an election itt ars: eon- tituency three things are necens- ary : 1st, a good cause ; 2nd, a re- liable candidate : and 3rd, a per- fect organization. In West Huron, and in Ontario throughout, the first of these ele- • menta holds good. We have to- day in Ontario. and we confident- ly expeet we shall retain it in On- tario after the Local election is held, the best Government it has ever been the good fortnne•of any Province to possess. Economical without being parsimonious, the Local Government has succeeded in placing Ontario in a position financially • f which every- elector. in the Province has reason to • be proud. TLe retort' is a gosil one, and when placed side by side with the almost bankrupt, condition of the Province of Quebec -which • has been under Tory mir:Kovern- iit•nt almost. entirely since Con- federation — becomes more than ver a subject for congratulation to the people of our Province. But the comparison does not end there. While year in and year out the changeful Tory Governments of Quebec have reeked with job- bery and "S,:necalism,” the most bitter Opposition partisan or the most virulent Tory journal has failed to point to a, solitary "job perpetrated in. the distribution of the millions which the. Mowat Administration, since 1872, has given back to the people of On- tario, directly and indirectly. To- day the Mowat Government stands forth with a stronger and brighter record titan ever before. They occupy the proud position of de- fenders of 1 ittnrio's Rights in the 'matter of the Boundary Award, and as the fearless champions of Provincial autonomy in their an- tagonism to thedisallowanee of the Streams Bill. If for no other rea- sons thea the two last mentioned, the Mowat Government has prov- ed itself t•, 1:.e deserving -of the confidence and renewed support of every well-wisher of the pre- mier Province of the Dominion. On the second point:—havitig a reliable standard bearer—the 'Re- formers of West Huron stand in a position second to no other con- stituency in Ontario. Col.A. 111, Boas, M.P.P., who has so faithfully. earnestly and independently rep- resenteil the constituency in the Legislature for the past ten years, stands in the front. rank of the public glen of Ontario.

EVEN on so vexed a question as the Streams Bill the rival leaders of political thought find time' and occasion to in- dulge in a little pleasantry. . A report of the debate on . that natter in the Houde ow Tuesday, informs us that when the Speaker` first called, for -the yeas and nay., Mr. Pardee inadvertent- ly gave his vote with .the yeas, of course rectifying his error when his name was called in course of the division. When the result - had + been announced, Mr. Merodith rose with great solemnity, hav- ing a volume of statutes in his hand, and proposed that 'the Commissioner of C Lands' to should tie added to though churches are exempted by law from taxation. It 11 claimed that a bazaar was lately held within the pre- cincts of the buildiug ler profit, and. that in order to escape taxation the edifice should be used exclusively for the wor- ship of God.

The House laughed heartily at the solemn burleeit'e, and Mr. Pardee re- torted • rather neatly that all he had done in the matter wag to change his mind, just as the hon. metyher from Lonunn had done ja the Boundary award. 1 (lee a contemporary the .Guelph _Mir - eery points out that the Ontario Govern - went has always been the true friend (if the municipalities.

Mr. Mills had investigated the subject on behalf of Ontario before he became a stember of Mr. Mackenzie's Cabinet. But what impression did Mr. Meredith wish to Convey? Was it that Mr. Mills had favored Ontario 1 o>tthat Mr. Mowat had favored the Doininion ? Mr. Meredith seeks to insinuate that the arbitration was sham ; that Mr. Mowat and Mr. Mills had arranged beforehand what the decision should he ; and that the cause of one of the parties was be- trayed. 'But .does nut Mr. Meredith see what he is doing for himself when he is Inking this insinuation 1 Mr. Mere- dith intimates that the other Provinces have to be dissatisfied. Why t Be- cause two Ontario glen had deter- mined what the boundary should be, and by this improper preceeding bad secured for Ontario what does nut be- long to her. So, then, Mr. Meredith, by his accusation of others, exhibits his own real position. The Detninion was betrayed and the arbitration is a fraud cpon the ether Provinces. lt'hen did against Cathnlicg, a monarchist n•stera- )►Ir. Meredith _scutes this new light ? tion may be quite possible. to his appeal, and had not the (luvern- ment committed the mistake of at root ing him, in a week the manifest' would be forgotten. Victor, on the contrary, has a large section of the army devoted to him and ready to act. Ruuher nays Napoleon took the step without previous consultation with the party. Rocher is convinced the mani- fest. yell wake an excellent impression upon the rural population. He says the peasantry muster twenty eight trillion against eight millions vs town. If they hold first to our cause the Republic sooner or later is doomed. Cassagnac seems pleased at the Prince's arrest and says he will make a deolereteiii in theChamber repudiatinitall cot, fleet ion with him. Cassagoac also thinks the Republic is loft. Jules Sinwt does not believe any im- minent danger threatens the Republic. No pretender would have chance yet, though a couple of years hence, unless the Republic ceases its impolitic war From what source was it obtained? We have here, then, Mr. Meredith's reason fur wisaine faith broken and a new trial had. But 31r, Meredith thinks we may get more territory. Why does Mr. Meredith think so ? Is it because of Sir John's contention that he has includ- ed Prince Arthur's Landing in Manito- ba ? Is it because of Mr. Mouaseau's view ? Is it because .,f Mr. Dawson's report ? Mr. Meredith is in name, at least, tho leader of a party. He owes to his fullewers and to the country to tell them the steps by which he has reached the conclusion that Ontario, will I gain by re -opening the question. The question was regularly reterred to arbi- tintion, and faith has been broken. Why ? Because it is said Ontario has got too much ; not because she has got too little. But suppose what has been done was reaffirmed, or suppose a still greater area should be awarded ihntario. What assurance have we that the same men will not break faith again ? Will Mr. Manson or Mr. Muuaseau be any better satisfied ? Will they abandon their demand for what they call an equi- valent ? Mr. Meredith known right well they would not. He knows right well that the arbitration was perfectly regu- lar. He knows that what is wanted is the dismemberment of Ontario, and that he weakly abdicated his functions as a leader, and deserted the cause of his Province, to its injury and his own, to retain for 6ir John the continuance. of Bleu support. .
