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.

It pubiirbes it gladly as • rebuke to
those who, in the fasblo. of The Star,
blander their country and impute d
loyalty to a large properties of 1
ait1wrs. 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-

contributed by the city of Tomato.
The "loyalty" plea, U there is anything

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.

vote.
2. The Big Interests.
9. Farmers, workingmen and others
who were persuaded to believe that

them i t a material setae.
4. Tones who were influenced by
religion . and racial prejudice, the "ne

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. If the editor
forgets, his present partner can re-
fresh his memory.

Charles Shamed spoke up i• .bj.etios
to the seleotioa of W. T. White ea a
nsember of the Barden Cabinet. "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.
