The Mitchell Recorder says that those who voted for the Government. candidate are corrupt. This is rough on many of the heretofore adherents of the Liberal principles. If the United States Government de- cides to impose harrassing regulations upon our two great railways Cauada will certainly suffer inconvenience and less. But the 'Western States, which are 1aegely dependent upon the Cauadian Pacific and Grand Trunk for cheap and rapid transit, will be injured to an even greater extent. The Liberals in Wed Huron have re- solved to protest the election of Hon. J. C. Patterson --a thing which was to have boon ex'i eett:tl in vin v of disappoint - anent. Mr. {„'.uuerun bas the right to protest and carry the West heron elec- tion for a second time into the courts, but if he fairly appreciated the tread of pu;•i i ar tt eling. he :would save lainiself ;, ;.is t,.:alis front this rash rrep.

The exact na- ture of the stroke which i, to lae tiviiver- eti was not staged, but ,air Charles pro- babiy foreshadowed the intention ttf the Cant<li;n Government either to abolish alt„4.ether, or else greatly reduce, the customs tax now imposed. on British goods entering this country. A Presidential election i'a the United States and a. general parlialire•ttary elec- tion in Great Britain must take place in a short time. The possibility of the eonntry l,eiing plitntlered into a foreign war in the near sutura would do more than anything else to improve the pre- sent outlook. for the party in power in Britain, and a tail -twisting policy would better the chances for the election of a Republican President in the United States. This is what constitutes the real danger in connection with the re- opening of the Behring Sea controversy.. .An analysis of the state of parties in the blouse of Commons reveals the en- ormous gains which the Conservatives have made in a few brief months : Conservatives Oppositionists Ontario, 69 quebee . :3 32 Nova Scotia 14 5 NewBruravrick 14 2 British !'nlumhia ,,, 8 • Prince Edward.

If it's all due to bood'.e,as the Liberal press avers, then there's more riches in Canada than we arc credited with. tr t' Sir Thos. Galt, (.thief Justice of the Common Pleas, has been quoted as say- ing although ho from the first accounts th=iultt there was something discredit- able in the coasting of the disputed votes,he now,after reading the judgment of His honor ,judge Elliot, believes that the Senior Judge of Middlesex did " per- fe.tlyrihht." Of course the Chief Justice was mislead by the assertions of the public in place of facts. No reasonable person who carefully reads over the arguments put forward by Judge Elliot can corse to any other conclusion than that arrived at by the Chief Justice The conclusion is irresistible. • W The Globo has been steadily advocat- ing unrestricted reciprocity with the United States for four or five years past. The adoption of that policy by the Gov- eitanteet of Catiatla would mean a direct lee.; of the seven or eight millions now collected in duties on imports from the United States. It would also involve a 'very tare e reflection in our irupoi is from Great Britain, which would still be subject to tariff exactions, and an in- direct loss of three or four millions would occur here again. The total loss to the national revenue, resulting from the carrying into effect of the unrestricted reciprocity idea, would tberforo amount to ten million, ro • e There is one consolation for the people of Quebec -De Boucherville will not be able to plunder the7ublic treasury, from the fact that the province is in such a deplorable' financial position that moth- ing but the strictest economy can avert absolute bankruptcy, and this may have a au exon greater restraining influence than a vigorous Opposition. Some s members of the new Legislature may, it is true, be foolish enough to think of ; looking to the Federal treasury as a '. means of relief. They had better not attempt any movement in that direction, however. Ontario will submit to a good deal, but rather than see the Dominion plundered to make good the robberies committed by. Mercier, Pacaud et al., the people of this province would smash either Quebec or Confederation. We have been asked what the respec- tive populations of Great Britain and Ire land are. The only authority we have, presumably the census of 1881, gives England and Wales 23,944,459 ; Ireland 5,297,732 ; Scotland 3,627,453. With area of square miles • England and Wales 68, 311 square miles ; Ireland 32,510 ; Scotland 30,461. *la* Montreal Witness(Liberal)--Canadians do notwant politi eat union with the United States; they believe, and with reason, that they have a form of Government more directly responsible to the people, and more immediately responsive to its will than is that of the United States. Any attempts on the part of the United States politicians to coerce Canada into annexation would only result in making the people of the Dominion more deter- mined to resist any movement of the kind.

The election in Monde Saturday for the House of Commons resulted in an- other victory for the Liberal -Conserva- tive party, their"eandidate, Mr. Arthur Boyle, being retarned by the splendid majority of 223. The victory is all the more signiioant in view of the fact that in the general eleation, a year ago, the Liberal candidate, Mr. John Brown,who is now so badly defeated, was given a majority of 260. His Honor Judge Davis made his of- ficial report of the result of the recount of ballots east in the London election to Returniag OfficerPritchard Friday, placing Hon, Mr. Carling's majority at 102.
