Not so long ego it looked a, If with the departure of Bir Ouvss MOWAT from the legislative arena the glory hal gone from the Liberal party, Hon A. S. IIA•DY, although a big man politioally—able and upright—fell upon evil due, sod when his health failed, we. sa- ab'e to grapple with existing conditions as he otherwise might have done. The passing of Hatter was the oppm.un • ity of Roes, and the opportunity was seized. )(ince the *dyad of Rots the strong hand ,.t the helm and the keen intellect I%,hind the hand have Teen oh-enwl on all side.. The Liberals ha,e been infused with the courage of their leader, and the oIl-time spirit is abroad in the land. Ever, Returroer looke upon at • leader who knows that a leader's duty is to lead, and doom his duty. - At the Str om dinner the other night Ross warn a gialt among large mea. The roan and the hour met, and when he ,had ooucludwl one of the grandest deliverances ever male in (newts, not only did the rank and file know that the Province war in safe hands, but LACalaa, and TARTS, and FIRLDINO were in uuselfish raptures over the greet effort. Everybody who was present on that oc- casion will "Remember Roes." "COURAGE. BRETHREN. COURAG •" ONE would think from the big spread at the Stirrer banquet an Toronto Lott week that Toronto was the core of Liberalism and the mainspring of Reform In Ontario. The Toronto politicians can pot on more "side" so far as election mat- ters go and do lees than any political ag- gregatiou extant. The Torouto uonetituen- cies are the weak sister. of Liberalism iu Ontario. They look well at election tames, and they put on a lot of airs at other times, but they are easily tempted and led astray when voting day comes a ound One of the reasons for this state of affair'. la that our leading statesmen have alway• given the city oonetituenciee a wide berth, and have accepted "hives" in the rural din tricte. Aa things stand' now the Ontario leaden all represent hives. CARTYRIOHT, Moats, PATvrsaoN and S/rTRUULAND each haa an easy seat to contest, whe:eu.their prestige and ability should be used to spoil the Amalekites and take thle raise from ---them. Quebec and MontreatW * nec al ways the Liberal centres they ere today, but courage did the trick, and if Ont•rio'r leaders do not relish the tank of wresting Toronto and Hamilton from the Tories, let are invite LAoat.s. TARTS and r'sgruNTAIN e to do the ewok Iu the next Legislative election we should like to see Hon. O. W. Roes and his cot - leagues get this idea in working order and test it. Si.

Courage is all that is wanted, REV. ''RANTINQ- n . t.fO"1• THE penpstetic evangelist, if he have not gumption, is bound to be a standing nuisance, paraloxie.al as it may seem. Most of the so-called evangelists mean well, and are in the work from heart'. dslre,but there have been and are atilt many who are in the business from a purely bu.i- new standpoint, and to "get something for the boy." When "MoNtc" Winnows Was evangelizing Ontario, after his owti fashion, The Bruesele Post and THE SrnNAi. went after the blatherskite week in and week out, and there have been many other religious fakirs who have been taken into camp in the same way in the past twenty years, The religionpi fakir doesn't require much bralna, for there are always a sufficient number of foolishly 'sympathetic women and men to foot the bill mad keep things agoing He must he mouthy and abunive, and if he occasionally takes the Lord'e pterogative of Axing the sinner's statue into hie own hands, so much the better. It isn't atsn lenity neoeesary that he .honld he truthful, U • point is to be rained by being other wise. Hank an one appears to he the Rev.
