Any special legislation is not equal rights to all, and it is high time that the people of this Province should arise in their might and oust from power a government which would thus truckle toa church for no other purpose than to secure the voter, of the church adherents. It has come to a pretty pass, indeed, when a church is allowed to rule this Prov- vince and dictate to the govern- ment elected by the people, what it shall and shall not do i and can at the uplifting of a finger command almost any favor. In fact the ecclesiastical power behind the Mowat government is so strong that nothing of a liberal character can be done, without, in the majority ()leases, the consent of the ecclesi- astncsl master. Chat the recently issued scripture readings had to be submitted to the late Arch Bishop Lynch, for his approval, before be- g placed in the hands of the children of ourpublic schools, over wham he should have had no guardianship whatever, is one of the best illustratitans as to the pow - err the Roman Catholic hierarchy exercises over the Mowat govern- ment. Rooks used exclusively in. Protestant schools, to be submitted to the Arch Bishop 1 Why, such a procedure wits most preposterous. This ecclesiastical power over- shadowed Mr. Mowat so strongly —(and if he is again returned will be more powerful)—that his govern rent were compelledto permit French schools to supplant Englialh schools, and also to allow pictures thf Scants and Mess Alters to be erected, and books to be taught in those sohools, all of which incul. cated in the youth, ideas calcul ated to destroy their faith in British institutions in this British Province of Ontario. It is not surprising that the free- men of this free province, from one end to the other, should arise in their might to drive from power a government whom, by piecemeal, have been allowing an alien church to deprive them of their liberties. Conservatives and Reformers alike have to acknowledge that the poli- ticians of the present day are too anxious to court the favor and in- fluence of this alien church, which has for some time been the balance of power ; and to -day this province is reaping its reward for playing with such dangerous balances and no one can predict what the end may be, if this inter- meddling of ecclesiastical authority authority with the state is not stopped. The present time is an opportune one for the people to draw the lines and declare through the ballot box on the 5th of June that no more special privileges shall be bestowed on one ecclesias- tical body more than another ; and that in all things temporalthe state must be supreme. When we have regulated our Provincial affair s we can with better grace correct the evils which exist in Dominion matters. To accomplish these re• forms let every elector record his vote for John G. Holmes who sup- ports a broad and liberal platform on which men of both political parties can unite. 11r• 11owat is once more seektn the suffrages of the people of this province, and of all the appeals he has made to the electorate, there never before was such a unanimous expression of disapproval of his t:onduct, nor finch an expressed opinion that he must step down and out, as at present exists en the part of both Grit and Tory. :11r. Mo:rat's many successes at the polls have led him to believe tat z LQ can ia°.tp e upon the pF le at his pleasure any law of anina:l »e: is IQ slaws; and that with a heavy ecclesiastical power behind hip: he can enact, without fear„ the ni .?;it itiivl4litous a; glslatitan—ai S mote the Separate School Act. .),:ow, Ire well remember that when Mr. !dowat first entered public life as representative of Soutlh, Ontario, one of the planes of the Reform party platform was, that Separate schools as they then existed, were dangerous to the well-being of the state, awl menaced civil and re- ligions liberty. The late Hon. Geo. Brown, the then leader of the Re Zorn: party, opposed Seaarate schools most strenuously and wore the to day in the land of theliving the presei t order of things in this con- nection would not exist. But Mr. Mowat has fallen from this high position and has dragged the Re- form party with hen, as read the following extract from a letter by the late Arch-Lishop Lynch :— "It seemed for sums time after Con- federation that the Ontario Catholics would be obliged to make the best of tfie imperfect Act of 1803,'as there appeared but small prospect that any Legislature elected by the people of that province would be prepared to do anything to- wards making the measures more effect- ive. The coalition Government of Mr. Sandfield Macdonald, the first Govern- ment of the new province of Ontario, did not feel disposed to grant any con- cessions to the Catholic body in the matter of Separate schools. The present Liberal Government of Ontario have been enabled to grant to the Catholic minority of this province all the amend- ments in the Separate School Act neces- sary to harry out the spirit and intention of the lair. What other Governments could not or would not grant in this re- spect has been fully and generously eon• ceded by Mr. Mowat's administration, and have recognized the claim of the Catholic, minority by giving an import- ant portfolio in the Cabinet to a repre- sentative Catholic. The present Arch- bishop, of Toronto, has felt it his duty to give Mr. Mowat's Government such supporb as a Catholic bishop may con- sistently without compromising himself by merely political entanglements." "What other governments could not grant has been generously con- ceded by Mr. Mowat's ivernment," Note carefully this sentence. And what is to be inferred from this quotation ? That Mr. Mowat has been courting the Catholic support. Yet in the face of these facts Mr. Moand the Reform press Mutest argue contrariwise, that he has done nothing of the kind. Arch - Bishop Lyaclt, however, says that he (Molest) has amended the Sep- arate School Act at Catholic dicta- tion;, until now those amendments have so altered the law that all eeuetrol of Separate schools has been placed in the hands of the Romans Oathelic hierarchy—a result whhele wasnever intended. The State has no control of the schools, only handing over to the church public money for the purpose of i,netnlcating the dogmas of .this particular and favored church, it being an indisputable fact that all books used in the Separate schools, includieg the text books, are pre scribed by its clergy, independent ofthe Department of Education. Now the question may be asked, rod reason, sued-, with due re'; ..141IVWAk SOME funny things are coming up in the election contest. In Essex, Mr. Pacaud, a French Can- adian supporter of Mr. Mowat, is objected to by his opponents of his own nationality because his wife is a Protestant. After this it must be admitted that there is indeed seed for education in Ontario. POINTS IN THE LEGISLATIVE BUILDING JOB.. Here are the facts of the history of Ontario Parliament buildings job, crys- tallized into brief points which can easily he remembered : 1, The Government got permission from the people to spend $500,000 in their construction. 2. The designs of Darling & Curry and other Canadian architects, based on the stated requirments of the Government as to accommodation and cast, called for an expeaaditure of about $600,000, it being found impossible to provide the apeccitied accommodation in a suitably handsome structure for less 0411 3114 an anioutte. 3. After some consideration the plans end designs of Darling cC Curry were practically accepted by the Government, 4,, Subsequently, for same unexplained reason those designs were submitted to a MCF. Waite of i3ttfthlo, a boson friend and boon companion of the (de faeto) Premier et Ontario, the Hon., 0, F. Fraser, and thereupon Mr, Waite re- ported the designs and plans as unsuitable in every respect, at feast he is said by the Government to have so reported. but no emit report bas ever been produced, although repeatedly asked for by the Le ;isleture, i. The Befa l to architect was then in- atructed to prepare, donne himself for the buildings without being subject to competition, which he did and his plans were Accepted, 6, The next atop in the job was the announcement in the Legislature that V150,000 would be required to complete the buildings. 7. The nett step is an announcement in the Legislature thattho last -Mentioned sum will not cover the cost and $1,050,- 000 is asked for, more than double the sum originally allowed and the Govern- ment's subservient majority forced the thing through. 8. Both Mr, Fraser and Mr. Mowat have affirmed over and over again that this large sum will cover the whole ex- pendituie, yet they have entered on the construction of buildings whicli will cost, in the opinion of competent archi- tects and builders, not less than $2,500- 000, and Mr. Mowat admitted in the (louse near the close of the session th tt hedidnot know what the buildings would cost. 9. The ordinary fees of the architect on such an expenditure will be $125,000; for Darling & Curry's designs their fees would have been $31,000. 10. The structure in architectural de- sign Is inferior to that proposed by Darling & Curry. No explanation or defence of these proceedings worthy of the name has. yet been made, and we venture to say none can be made. The Government's course in the whole matter has been either a worse than stupid blunder or a huge job —in either case deserving the severest censure. PARLIAMENT has prorouged. It was the longest session since Con- federation, and remarkable for the unrelenting exhibition of a deter- mination to adhere to the policy of Canada tor Canadians. It was also remarkable for scandals of one sort and another, but they are like boils on the body. The blood of the country is too rich. Tee Berlin Daily News demands that thereshall be a contest in Waterloo if for nothing else than to prove that there are no German schools in that county in the same sense as there are French schools in Prescott and Russell. 'Hon. G. W. Ross end other Cabin"et Minis ters have labored ,diligently to create this impression. They de- clare in their speeches that Ger- man is taught in Waterlog schools' as the equivaient of Fre i`ch in the e nducted b' tl e Fr nch. schools P .... ....y e THE electors of South Huron now have the respective candidates before them, and the questions at issue are so clearly and completely on record that no man need hesi- tate as to which side he should take. We point with pride to our leader, Mr. Meredith, his declara- tion of principles, which, by the way, he emphasized and re -affirm- ed at Toronto in another magnifi- cent speech—and to the standard beareriin this ridiug as worthy of the support of every man, Conser- vative or Reform, who believes in the principles of "Equal Rights to all, Special Privileges to None." Mr. John G. Holmes will do as much honor and be of more benefit to South Huron than Mr. Archibald Bishop, who to speak moderately has done nothing during his eigh• teen years tenure of office: A. WxNoisAM pape.rin announcing Mr. John G. Holmes' candidature in South Huron has this to say :-- "The Seaforth Expositor is generally fair and consistent hi regard to ' South Huron election.

No one ever heard a deroga- tory word said of John G. Holmes. Even good Grits hero will bo glad to see him elected. His course has been ever upwards and onwards. Ile got his common school education here. He was further instructed by Mr, Turnbull at the Clinton Collegiate .Instituto. Afterwards he went to the University of Toronto where ho graduated with honors. As a lawyer he has been suc- cessful from the start, and is now gen orally admitted to be in the very front rank of the profession in Ontario. We feel that such a distinguished young man is a credit to the county of Huron. In- tellectually he has few equals in the Dominion, and is destined to occupy the highest position in the country. If elected, as we hope he may, he will be a tower of strength to Mr. Meredith and the Conservative party and an honor to the South Riding." A REFORM organ observes :-- "Give the Ontario Tories control of the licensing power and how many Re- formers would get licenses ?" This is but another form of say- ing that the control of licenses by either political party is an evil. Because one is as much entitled to trust as the other in the disposal of those privileges. To assume that the "Tories" would favor their own friends if they had the power to is- sue licenses, is to confess that the Mowat Government value it, and are'especially desirous to retain it, for the same reason. But the "Tories" have not asked for the privilege of issuing licenses. They have demanded that it should be restored to municipal control, as it was when seized by the Mowat party as a means of patronage and a buttress of political power. The County Councils are not political bodies, and to such bodies Mr. Meredith, if elected, will grant the power .of appointing Commissioners who will issue licenses, and the funds go into the County treasury. They represent the people con- cerned more nearly than do the Government at Toronto and their agents ; and in cities the Police. Commissioners, who formerly had the duty of issuing licenses entrust ed to them, were purely nonpar- tizan iu character North Middlesex. Below we give the'vote, by municipali- ties, at the last Provincial election in North Middlesex, held on December 28th, 7886.

Stanley has accomplished more than any other discoverer before him. and has made for himself a name that will go rolling down for coming ages. People will hear of his achievements with wonder and amazement, and on all sides decorations and honors will overwhelm him.
