Articles in. the Conservative press foreshadow a redistribution of seats in both Powincial and Dominion Parliaments. Tbe probability of the cutting down of the representation of Huron county at Ottawa from three members to two has been conoeded tot some time ; but according to The Mail and Empire this aunty stands in danger of toeing a member at To- , ronto &10o. The unit Of representation in the Ontario House is smaller than that for the Federal Home, aud it is not et all clear that this county should in fairness be deprived of ita present repeesentation of three. How- ever. The Mail and Empire says: la several counties which have three members there is a prospect of one being eliminated and the riding divided between the remaining two. Huron and Bruce have been men- tioned in this respect. Their redis- tribution, if it is proceeded with, is bound to cause a lively fight. Uolike other counties in whieb, owing to the fact that all tbe roembere see supporters of ..be Government, re- distribution is a comparatively easy matter, the Bruce and Huron ridings include Liberal members. North and South Huron return Government sup- porters, but Centre Huron is the stamping poued of William Proud - foot., the authbr of the illatarred charges against Bon. Mr. Hanna. The welding of the three into two might possibly give that member eomething to worry about. - In Bruce all three ridings are held by Liberals, and they lire not likely to view with pleasure Usepro.pect of one having to deep mt. Itt the esatern pert of the Province one or two ridings may be incorporated in others. The Whitney Governmeot. in spite of :ts large majority, employe every means of maintaining itaelf in power. and not having accomplished all that it deeired by tbe utifair redistribution of five or six years ago it is evidently preps' ing for another gerrymander.

The train was sect etly I eid . Deputations from Chat- eauguay met the Minister of Public Works with their demised,, and it is a carefully published secret throughout the riding that their demiuds were ex- tensive and that ale of them were eagerly granted. Then when every- thing appeared in good shape, with the certainty that every possible party advantage had been clinched by the Government force., the election was announced for Outober Ilth, leaving much lees than a month for tbe cam - Atari.

Not a single bye -election has occurred since the Tory Government came to power in which that Government was at all intererted without the sloven hoof of Hon.

The Orange Sentinel, while it criti- cises adversely the new bilingual reg- ulatioess, ai,o Maims the liberal newspapers. because it says they con- tent themselvee with cynical remark* as to the Sop. We have never concealed our opin- ions as to bilingual schools, and we wish to see tbe question discussed and settled on its merits, not upon party grounds. We admit that it pregenta difficulties to any government. But we believe that these difficulties can be overcome by a firma and steady COWIN!. Tbe guiding principle must not be anti -French prejudice, but a recogni- iron thet every child in Ontario ought to learn English at the earliest pos- sible roomer): Eeglish should be the language of instruction in tbe schools. It is found by experience that when this rule is adhered to, the children who do not understand English when they come speedily acquire it by bear- ing it spoken hy the teacher. It is not necessary to banish French frorn the school -room. but it is against the educational interests of the children to maintain a bilingiial standard for any but the youngest pupils. To carry out this policy. teachers must themselves have a thorough knowledge of English, tested by their ability to teach an eubjects in that language. The grant should be wale held unless this is dooe. The inepectors must be in sympathy with these eioss-enthusiastic advo- cates of English teething, tactful and broad-minded. These are the general aisps to be kept in view. It is impossible for a newspaper to enter into every detail of educatiosel method. Much depends upon administratiou. The Minister acd his officials must be held ro sponsille for the working of the system. They are entitled to fair coosideratios, but they cannot expect to retain the confidence of the public when they respond alternately to Orange preesure and Preach -Canadian pressure. If they desire to keep the question out of politics -and that is our desire -they must disregard all COM I Jemtioss except tbe welfare of the children.
