The preetense a Sir Oliver Mow.
and his supporters that the Provineia
government does hot impose any bu
dens of taxation upon the 'people, is a
impudent and as baseless as most of
the pretenses put forward in. behalf
that government. To hear these pe.
pie talk one would thins: they aver
meeting all government expenditur
out of their own pockets. Indeed the
seem to have come to consider the pro
viz tial revenue their private propert
and that they are bestowing charity, o
at least eouferring a favor, when the
pay this money to persons to whom i
is due, For that reason they have n
consciousness of wrong -doing whe
they pay public money to promote thei
private ends, Where Mr. Dryden ordere
lila, Shaw to buy the old "silver meda
bull," which was no good, and was no
needed at the experimental farm,he ha
not the slightest notion that he wa
wasting public money to secure his re
election; he believed, no doubt, that li
had a right to spend this money of th
people's just as if it were his owt
money. One of the strongest reason
for turning the Mowat government ou
and patting an honest government in
is the fact that the present ministers ar
absolutely unable to understand tha
they are merely trustees of the people
and that they have no right to spend
dollar of the people's looney withou
getting full value in return for th
people.
The money they get is not only th
people's money, but it is paid by th
people. The subsidy paid into the prov
incial treasury is raised by customs an
excise duties. The crown lands an
timber reven nes are the property of th
people. If they were not squandered
extravagantly and dishonestly squan
dered-there would be a large surplu
to be accumulated for provincial needs
or for distribution among muuicipalitie
thus reducing taxation for local pur-
poses. The marriage license fee doe
not go into the public treasury at all
It is paid by those who take out mar
riage licenses into the pockets of Mow-
at partizans to pay them for their ser-
vices to the party. The liquor license
money is taken from the municipali
ties to which it rightfully belongs.
One of the most iniquitous taxes im-
posed by the Mowat government is
that of taxing bequests. After the
Christian statesman has robbed a man
during his life, he plunders the heirs
at his death. The will of the late Mrs.
Mitchell well il1ustretes th.e manner in
which tuts plunder is collected, That
will bequeathed $52,800 to various
persons and benevolent institutions.
The Mowat government wrings $2,655
from the legatees. Those who are near
relatives of the testator are compelled
to pay only 5 per cent of the sum left
them, Thus, Marion A. T.,yght is willed
$100; she receives $380, and the Chris
tian statesman takes $20. Edna A.
Js ' s gets $950 of the $1,000 left her.
and the Christian statesmen gets $50,
So $250 is taken from the $5,000 left
Mrs. Epps; $250 is taken from the $5,
000 left to Mrs. Lyght; $50 from the
$1,000 left to Mrs. Fuller; $25 from the
$500 left to Mrs. Trask, and $200 from
the $4,000 left to Mrs, James. Where
the relationship is not so near, or where
there is none at all, 10 per cent of the
legacy is snatched by the Christian
statesman. A sum of $500 was left to
Rev. Mungo Fraser. Sir Oliver Mowat
thinks it an evidence of Chri:tianity to
seize $50 of that sum, The Rey. Thos
Goldsmith suffers a like deprivation. Of
$300 left to Cecilia King, the Christian
statesman takes $30; and like sums
from Emily Bastedo, Susannah Cramer
Irene Bastedo and Mary Ann Milne;
while Oltvid Seymour cannot get her
legacy of $200 without paying $20 to
the men who affirm that they do not
tax the people.• Maud likMillan, the
nurse who attended Mrs, lilitclieli dur-
ing her last days, cannot even get the
$100 left her by the dying woman, but
the Christian pirate reaches across the
coffin lid and snatches away $10 of that
pittance.
And so on through the list, When

hose the men we can trust for guiding
the future destinies of Ontario? We
trow not. It is evident that the present
Mowat government are all at their
wit's end—hence the strenuous efforts
put forth to secure their re-election. In
act, between the bitter opposition
shown by the Mowat party to the P. P.
A's and to the Patrons of Industry,—
between the gross inconsistency of
playing fast and loose between Protes-
ants and Romanists, between the hand

iquor dealers, and the hypocritical pre
truce of sheaving favor to the Temper -

ill in the direction of prohibition,—it
s high time that the electorate of On-
ario should rise in their might and
urify the political atmosphere by sueh
storm as wilt awaken the politicans

ugean stable must be cleansed, and
r, Meredith is the Hercules who from
lean hands and an honorable political
ecord is fitted for the work.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
We suppose that those Grits who
have been voting for Mowat for his
"honesty," will now vote for him for
his dishonesty.
"I, the premier of Ontario, caunot
carry out my promise made to you,'
says Mowat to Leys, "May God be with
vou." That sort of hypocritical cant
is enough to make a wooden image
blush,

Sir Oliver:l'dlowat Exposed.
It will be remembered that when
Sir Oliver Mowat's son was appointed
sheriff of Toronto, the hypocritical little
premier pretended that the appoint
ment was forced upon him by his
friends of the cabinet. The Chris
tian statesman falsely said that he had
resisted the appointment of hie own son
but that his judgement had been over-
come by the representation of his col-
leagues, and he had finally consented
to the glaring act of nepotism. And
his wicked partners of the cabinet, in •
eluding John Morrison Gibson, falsely
reported that the lying pretense of the
Christian statesman was true.
In this moring's Toronto Mail_ ap-
pears several columns of correspon•
dence between Sir. Oliver Mowat and
John Leys. In one of the letters, dated
Dec. 20, 1890, Mr Leys says to Sir.
Oliver.
"You wrote me on the 27th of April
1887, a few days after Sheriff Jarvis'
death, stating that you would like to
see me, and asking for an appointment,
I called to see you, when you asked me
to recommend your son for sheriff of
Toronto. I told you at , once that I
would do so. I not only did that, but,
by gettiug the Reform association to
endorse my recommendation, and by
iudt:cing all the other applicants for the
position to go to a meeting of ecuncil.
and urge upon you and the other mem-
bers of the Government your son's ap-
pointrnent, and by arranging to have a
round robin signed by nearly all the
Beforrn members in the house in your
son's favor, I took from your shoulders
the entire responsibility of the appoint
ment, so that to day Reformers believe
that it was only on great pressure
from your political friends that you
were induced to consent to the appoint
went of your son to the lucrative posi
tion of sheriff of Toronto That was a
part of Mr. Blake's brief for his grea t
speech in the Pavillion last summer,
and he made the most of it. Now I do
nt t regret what I did for you at your
request, but 1 do regret that you have
tither forgotten or chose=n to ignore it.
0 e of the tnembers of your govern
ment has' not forgotten it, if you have
for when you suggested to me Borne
time since to see the other members
of the government, and this gentleman
said to me, "Well 1 don't suppose y cat

An open air meeting of the electors

Hooper Found Guilty.
Three Rivers, Que., June 1S.—Sat-
urday afternoon the jury in the case
of Reginald Hooper found the prisouer
guilty of rnurderieg his wife, and sen-
tenced him to twenty five years in
Penitentiary.
The court room was jammed, but
there was no demonstration. His honor
immediately adjourned the court until
2 o'clock on Monday. •
Then the prisoner said: "Your lord-
ship, I wish to again state before ..God,
before the court and all these people
that I ant innocent of any crime what
ever. I have not had British justice,
and I hold in my hand the damaging
evidence to show that a Queen's coun-
sel was suborned against me. You
charged very strongly against me, but
I believe that you did it in what you
believed to be British justice, • but it
was no justice tome. God is a just
'God, and he would strike me dead if I
am not speaking the truth. It is a fact
that the women jumped off . the train
before I did."
At the close of the sentence the ac-
cused raised his voice to an awful, pitch,
and, with. his hand upraised, made a
most impressive- scene. He added.
"My life is gone, and it does not matter
to me whether the sentence is one day
or a lifetime."

Bourgeois said: "Gentlemen, the ver

Failed
An Almost Mlraculous Cure by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Chicago, Illinois,
"C. 1. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.:
"Beginning In February, '92, I was very sick
for two months. Slowly I got better but was
confined to my bed. A physician said 1 had a
Pelvic Abscess In My Side.
After an operation I did not improve, the ab-
scess continuing to discharge even more freely
than before, In two months bine three opera-
tions were performed and tubes inserted to carry
off the impurities, but all in vane Finally it
was decided that mylilo depeudod upon another
operation and that I must bo removed to the
hospital. Abont three weeks previous to this
I had noticed an advertisement in the Daily
News of a case where Hood's Sarsaparilla had
cured a boy somewhat similarly afflicted in.
Trenton, 1l. and 1 decided to give it a trial.
When the time decided upon for me to go to the
hospital arrived I hact been taking Hood's Sar-
saparilla about two weeks.
1 'Was tatting Better
and the abscess bad already began to discharge
less freely. I felt stronger and had a terrible
appetite. Previous to this I had given up to die.
When I had taken the second bottle I was able
to sit up and accordingly I was not taken to the
hospital and the final operation was deferred.
Now I have taken six bottles and the abscess
has entirely healed. I ain well and go every
where. My friends think it is a miracle to have
me restored to them again su healthy and even
younger in looks than before my sickness.
I Feel Better Than Ever
I did in my life and weigh over 130 pounds, the
heaviest In my life. I do a big day's worlc and
am gaining in strength every day. My mother
worried and worked herself aimost sick in car -
Ing for me. She has since taken Hood's Sarsa-
parilla and it has clone her much good. We
praise Hood's Sarsaparilla to everybody, for
I Know It Saved My Life.
Lam 27 years old, and a stranger to look at me
now would not think I ever had' a day's sick-
ness. Even the doctors are surprised at the
success of Hood's Sarsaparilla in my case.
