Tee full teat of the decision arrived

coverurnent has itow been made public
teem which it appears -they have ad-
vised His Excellency, the Governor
General, not to jntorefore with the ac•

the matter of education. No one wbo
erilltake the trouble of wading through
this lengthy document, with all its.
ainotetimis; eau f to see the calmness
and fair play with which the federal
,government here dealt with a most
delicate subject -.ane on which much
interest and public feeling has been
displayed. We think we can disoern

this calm and exhaustive

document the master hand of the
Premier who has certainly, much to.
his credit Thr even-handed justice, dis
planed a spirit of unbiassed judgement
which marks him out as It worthy suc-
cessor of the great chieftain whose aim
pias to build up a young nation of all
creeds, classes, and nationalities. Vir
finally, the decision arrived at by the
federal government—and which has
received the sanction of the Governor
General—declines to interfere with pro-
vincial rights, where no injustice is

al enactments passed by the local Leg.

fall innocuous before thebetter judge
u ent of sober minded men, who regard
justice and fair play and a spirit of
toleration as essential elements in the

MR. MEREDITH'S - PLATFORM.
In the debate which took place las
week in the Ontario Legislature upon
the address in reply to the Lieut. Gov
ernox's opening speech, the leader of
the opposition made one of bis very
ablest addresses—in which he outlined..
the political platform intended to be
put before the people at the approach-
ing. elections. The ground covered by
Mr. Meredith embraced the following
topics: extravagance on the part of the
Mowat i overiithetit; the wasteful'
expenditure' of the timber resources;
the advocacy of biennial sessions of
Legislature, as one great means of
economy; a reduction in the number
ofilabinet Ministers; and uu ting dif-
ferent departments under one. head;
ar,.d the development of ruining re-
sourees and industries of Ontario. A
capital hit was made hi Mr. Meredith's
speech ween he told how the Mowat
government had,exhihited two sides of
the shield upon the temperance ques-
tiou -the 'mover of the address declare
ing that the government was pledged to
prohibition, and the other gentleman
'whit occupies a nearer position to the
Cabinet declaring that prohibition was
a sham and a farce (site. While the
Mowat administration took credit to
themselves for having afforded aid to
the World's Pair and in d.yeloping• the
Fi+dustrial pursuits of Ontario, Mr.
Meredith showed that the agricultural
etelustry was indebted .not so much to.
g•,vernmeut as to.the intelligences
hard work, and industry of the great
body of the farmers in utilizing the
meths at their disposal a• -d availing
themselves of the new methods intro-
duced and encouraged by the federal
authorities. A slashing' epeech, full of
facts and. statistics, was brought to a
nlese by Mr. Meredith claimingfor his
p trty the doctrine of equal rights for
all, irrespective of creed, race, or parry,
a d special favors and privileges to
none. That is the true basis or found.
arion on which our eonstitutiens res -s,

tee only hope of building ti„rap a'ttnirtd
a .d` prosperous nation.eWe v
p isenture

by
Mr. Meredith in his noble address is
pct which will eo►nm'end itself to every
1 t .•It.etnr, and to every well.

ieLean, the would be .Patrons of In-

lature in South Huron has of late .had
much to say concerning the P. P, A.
1 notice he has been exposing (?) the
association, and printiug what he
claims to be tee secret obligation and
oaths of the members of this society.
I would like to ask Mr. McLean a
few questions through the medium of
your valuable paper.
1st—Did. Mr McLean steal this ritu
al form which he claims to be copying
the obligations and oaths of members?
2nd.—If he did not steal the ritual
where is he. deriving his information?
3rd.—Is Mr. ;McLean writing about
something he knows nothing of?
I did hope that Mr. McLean would
not interfere with the P PP. A. but since
he. has chosen to denounce the society
and spy' in behind the hidden work of
the members, I may tell hint that his
dirty action will be resented by, more
than etre who might. otherwise have
supported him.
While Mr. 11eLean Inas his hand in
let him now publish sortie of—only some
of—the obligations and oaths of the
Priests, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardirals
and Prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church.
Yes, let Mr. McLean publish them
side by side with those of the P. P. A:
and .let the public have the matter
placed squarely and fairly before them
This ie his duty as a public journalist

Made a New Man—The Doctor's Failed—Scores of Medicinal Prerar
tions Were Tried and Proved Useless—Paine's Celery Compound Works
a Wonderful Cure.
Mr. G.Swain,the western Station Mas-
ter at Winnipeg, is one of the old and.
tried officials • of the great Canadian
Pacific Railway, He left England in
1853, and settled in Montreal, where he
entered the serviceof the Grand Trunk
Raitway Co, spending over twenty
years of his fife with Canada's pioneer
railway co poration. In 1880 Mr.
Swain went to the Northwest and set-
tled in Winnipeg, where his experience.
in railroading secured forh im his
I resent position.
Mr. Swain, though a titan of extra-
ordinary physique and giant strength,
was some time ago made as helpless as
a child, from the suffcringt and agonies
of rheumatisrn,to which terrible diseaoe
he had been a slave for fifteen years,
After utter failures with doctors and
medicines, he was ' induced by Capt.
Douglas, the genial proprietor of the
1 eland House, to try Paine's Celery
Compound, The trial protect wonder-
ful; the results and cure perfect,
Mr. Swain, although sixty seven
years of age, is now as smart as any
man of forty, and can do more work in
a day than the majority of younger
men. All Ibis rtew life,renewed
strength, younger looks, perfect sleep,
and good digestive vigor, is the direct.
result of using Paine's. Celery com-
pound, the great medicine that
makes people well.
Mr. Swain, in a very recent lector,.
says:—"Last winter I was in bed suf-
ferutg
from rheumatism, Having
tried sores of prescriptions from doctors
and neighbors, I was at last ihdneed
to try your Paine's Celery Compound.
I
was immediately `relieved++ my pains
which, 1 am glad to say,I have not re-'
turned sieve. i:iaving been a slave
to rheumatism for fifteen years, 1 am

ful reinede to all suffering humanity.'
