THE WON hi. PRINTINU CO- UMt.d. Oederb► Oat GODOUCB. TVUBMUAT. NOT. e. NIL THE PROVINCIAL CANDIDATES. As the candidate mined by the Consetvative party of the riding to oppose Mr. Proudfoot in Centre Huron, Rev. Joseph Elliott will have the duty of explaining to the electors wherein be disapproves of Mr. Proud - foot's stand on public questions and bow he, if elected, would improve upon Mr. Proudfoot's record in the Legislature. It will not do for Mr. Elliott to say simply that he is a thorough going supporter of the Whitney Govern- ment and that therefore he ought to be elected. In the first place, it would be difficult to show that any legiti- mate interest would suffer if by an chases the Rhlltsey *Go should have to step out of omoe to- morrow : in the second place, no one supposes that the Whitney Govern- ment is in the slightest danger of be- ing ousted from power at the coming elections. The Whitoey Government is by no means ani teal one ; but the Oppoeition has not yet had time to bring forward and to Impress upon the electors of the Province the program of advancement which will eventually challenge the record of the party in power. and in the meantime Sir James Whitney is safe. The question, there- fore, before the electors of Centre Huron is whether they desire to be represented at Toronto by a gentle- man who will simply be an echo of Government views, or by oue whowill be in a position to offer independent criticism of the Government's policies and administrative acts, and in this way to. help to check the Government when it is in the wrong and to stir it .p t' its duty when it is inactive. We believe-th.it Mr. Proudfoot as a member in opposition can be of much greater service to the Provinoe than tan Mr. Elliott as a Government supporter. If Mr. Elliott entertains a different opinion he must, we submit, give reason for it and indicate to the electors wherein he can better repre- sent this riding than Mr. Proudfoot has lone. it should be borne in mind that Mr. Proudfcot has been in the Legislature for only one term, and that a short one. in this brief time he has made a place for himself w one of the prom- inent members of the House, and he should in all fairness have farther opportunity of pursuing a public career of usefulness and distinction. EARL GREY'S SPEECH. "Chantecler" imagined the sun rose at his crowing. and The Godericb Star evidently believes that its hysterical flag-waving is an important factor in tbe safety of the BriUsb Empire. We all know The Star is loyal. to the point of being loyal to its illusions. Its pet illusion at present is that the recent election bad something to do with Canada's Imperial relations. and Unit those who did not vote for Tory candidates (even. we suppose, those who voted against the Bourses can- didates In Quebec) valued their rela- tions to the British Empire as of less eon.equence than "the temporary gain of a few Dents on something which they might have to sell." Truly a terrible iedieteseat against nearly ors half of the Canadine peopleit meet be a matter of great row:ern to The Star [bat the electors of this town. smneg whom its flag-waving per lermanees are serried on. are mo little lmpremed then the Tory majority wee less at this el.etios than at this pre- vious one The Star ought to g*t buoy and wave harder than ever.

Bari Grey's address was de - Livered to Intelligent people, and if it is read with Intelligence, wad with due regard to the cireamstanos of Its delivery upoo an ooeados which salted for imperialist Ott rsocea 1t is seen to convey almost throughout just the message that reciprocity advocates would dein to ie. se be conveyed to the people of the Mother Country. His Lordship pays a tribute to Mir Wilfrid Laurier which, of course. is gall and wormwood to the Laurier -haters of Canada. "Sir Wilfrid Laurier," he says. "was fully persuaded that his policy if adopted would strengthen both Canada and the Grown," and though we may not go back of Berl Greys spoken words it is open to conjecture U the noble Earl did not agree with Sir Wilfrid is this view. Certainly, it be believed there was any Imperial significance in the decision of the Canadian people upon that policy, be puts his belief very mildly. "The recollections of past harsh treatment suffered from the United States were present in their minds and the great end abound- ing prosperity of the Dominion all combined to strengthen the national resolve to vote down the policy which. however advantageous to their ma- terial interests, was one in which they scented a possible danger to Racal in- dependence and national autonomy." This sentence immediately precedes The Star's brief quotation, which. read in the light of tbe context, may fairly be interpreted to mean that. if any person in the Mother Country had not before appreciated the loyalty of Can- adians and was at last convinced, the impression conveyed to such a Demon by this election was a oorrect one - Canada was firmly attached to the Empire. But, he goes on to say, "it did not require this new revelation of the traditional spirit of Canada to con - vines those already acquainted with the elstory and ohareet r. of 'titer people. Their attachment to Mfien& institutions in connection with the Em- pire was far too deeply rooted ever to be overthrown." Earl Grey was not led astray by the „annexation" nonsense and "loyalty" buncombe of the anti -reciprocity press. He knew Canada too well to believe there was any danger from a policy of friendly commercial inter- course with the neighboring people; and though at the bidding of the trusts and the big interests generally the Conservative press endeavored to cultivate the idea of some danger to Oanadlan nationality and to Imperial relationships in the reciprocity pro- posals those who really appreciated the true spirit of Canadian citizenship knew that Canada's "attachment to national iustitu tions in connection with the Empire was far too deeply rooted ever to be overthrown." Wks the loyalty cry ever more neatly punc- tured than by Earl Grey io these words ? Thus it appears, taking The Star's own authority (tor Earl Grey, it says, is "somewhat qualified to speak re- garding Canadian sentiment and afeirs"1, that Canada has thrown away an opportunity for material ad- vanoement by a policy that would have strengthened both Canada and the Crown, all for the sake of per- suading ensuading a few doubting Thomases in the Old Country that Canada is "loyal." Earl (trey did not tell hie distin- guished audience of the kind of cam- paign that was waged against recip- rocity by the hirelings and dupes of the big interests. Perhaps In his exalted position be did not know of the methods that were employed on the back streets and sidelines, and it be did know it is just as well that he kept his ksowl.dge to himself upon such an occasion. Those who were engaged in the campaign, however, know that the appeal to "loyalty" was not the sole weapon, or the one most effectively used by the anti -reciprocity party. What of the cartoons on al- most every corner with their false appsale to the farmers and worklag- men? What of the misreptweota, tions and falsehoods weed through- out the country as to the effects of reciprocity upon employment for workingmen and markets for farmers P Soso The Star, although it beat the "loyalty" tom-tom vigorously but un- .uoces fully during the campaign. did not condom Reel? to this effort. if the electors were on test for their "loy- alty," why was it am essery for The Star to publish in Ir last solar before polling day the aeroeiou. lie 1 teat reeip,neity invoked the 'realise of equal rtgbr is our fisheries to United States ashermeu ?

The teturos of the recent elections snow that in a total vote of 1.!11[)`000. the Ooassrvative m sjoeity is only about 87.000, two-thirds of which is contributed by the city of Tomato. The "loyalty" plea, U there is anything 1. it, puts Canada'. national destinies in the bands of the slum vote of the big cities. The Signal repeats, la brief, its statement of the draw which, it be- lieves, chiefly contributed to the de- feat of the Laurier Government. 1. The regular Oosaervative party vote. 2. The Big Interests. 9. Farmers, workingmen and others who were persuaded to believe that reciprocity would be an injury to them i t a material setae. 4. Tones who were influenced by religion . and racial prejudice, the "ne tenser" .care, etc. 6. Tbu.e who disliked or feared the United States. The Star appears to be annoyed be- cause The Signal plate* the "loyalty" cry among the minor causes of the turnover. The Signal cannot belp that : it is published for the sake of in- telligent people who want to know the truth. No person on earth can tell precisely what influenoes control a voter : sometimes the voter himself hardly buboes. All *me Main do in an- alysing the canoes sleeting the rote of September 21st is to state one's opinions sincerely from the informa- tion available. This The Signal has done. It believes that the "annexa. tion" and "loyalty" cries had compar- atively little effect except in stiffening wavering voters who wanted an ex- cuse to stay with' their party. No doubt a good many voters recently arrived from the Old Country, who had not got their bearings in Cana- dian affairs, were misled by these cries ; but they did not change the votes of many electors who had hith- erto voted with the Liberal party. When there is a real test of the loy- alty of Canadians Conservatives will not all be on one side and Liberals all on the other ; and The Star .lander a large proportion of the electorate of Canada when it says virtually that the repent election was a triumph for the loyalists. EDITORIAL NOTE&. Well, Rev. Joseph Elliott will not run his campaign 00 bis record Y mayor of doderich. Might we suggest that Rev. Joseph Elliott's proper sphere is Ottawa, when there is a lack of Presbyterians in the Ministry ? Will Rev. Joseph Elliott kindly ex- plain in what way be will make a wore capable representative of the riding than Mr. Proudfoot ? Then is an old motto which The Star ought to have printed in big type and kept always right in front of the editorial desk. it reads : "People in glass houses should not throw atones." The Canadian Perm remarks that the new Minister of Agriculture at Ot- taws, "capable as he may be in other respects, la admittedly not in touch with general agricultural conditions throughout the country." The Conservative candidate for Centre Huron can hear eloquent testi- mony to the calm and gentlemanly spirit drplayed by The Goderieb Star in '9s characteristic treatment of those who do not agree with It" One would imagine from the way The Oederieb Star Wks that it fancied it bad a reputation for journalistic decency, Instead of s r.00rd of law - suite and apologies for slanders against its political oppooeuts.

"I was grevioudy disappointed," be said, "when we learned that It was neces- sary to appoint as Finance Minister a member of one of the big trust corpse- ations of the city. So far as the Coo- servative party is concerned. it 'boatel not be dominated by the trues of this country." Doubtless many other Con- servatives are thinking aiong the same line. FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES. A SOSOWAI set Munster. Oast* Memory. Does Hon. Jamas Duff know of the existence of the Ontario Agricultural College ? The fact that he hots so shamefully neglected it sines aswrm- ing office would seem to Indicate that he does not. His party papers say be is a great MinWsr of Age Wherein does hie greatness lie 1 It is true that he has not interfered with his department in any way, probably because be realised his limitations, but that is alt that can be said in his favor. Remembering how his col- league, Hon. Dr. Pyne, ruined the ed- ucational system of the Provinoe by meddling with something be was not competent to handle, we probably have something to be thankful for in Hon. Mr. Du '. inactivity after a11. But what Ontario wants is a Minister of Agriculture who can properiy de- velop his department's sphere of use- fulness. As Use WbitneyAdministra- tion has not been able to find a com- petent man, we must naturally tarn to the party which ' supplied the onlay competent bead of the Agricultural Department that Ontario has ever had when it gave us tbe late Hon. John Dryden. But He's AR Right Now, Hamtltse Timer Hon. Mr. Monk L now Minister of Public Works, bead of the largest spending department of the Govern- ment. He occupies that position as the result of a party compact to re- ward him as the representative of the Quebec Nationalists for their support of Mr., Barden during the election campaign. Not many mouths ago the Tory organs would have treated with derision any foreeaet that gave Mr. Monk Cabinet standing. The Ottawa Journal, whose editor, Mr. Ross, was a Tory candidate for the Ilature. vigorously 000demned Mr. Monk for hisalliance with the Nationalists, des- cribing him in July last se "well lost" to the party. Here are a few of the gems with which The Journal decor- ated Mr. Monk : A dead weight on the party ; A drawback to it ; A daoger to it ; Lacking unswerving and aggressive party loyalty ; Lacking mbiliCy and activity as a party general and organizer ; Politically neither loyal nor com- petent; The wont choice for leadership that could have been made; Without the power to enthuse ; Neither personal magnetism nor political breadth of view Neither activity nor industry ; It declared that "Mr. Monk has been useless throughout," and con- gratulated the party that "be now fortunately disappears into the Bow. - aims ranks." Yet this is the man selected by Hon, Mr. Borden for the Ministry of Public Works and to rept event the Bourses party in the House and Government and boa the faithful 1n Quebec. And The Journal must now undertake the teak of rehabilitating him in the ss- tmatfon of the party and singing his praises daily. MEI Cosi shy Y Bw is Pres. Sigimier2• el tele . , WNW tole weeks ea.
