The Equal Rights ovemeut which was encouraged 'and ferneuted by 'the liberal leaders because at first it threatened to overwhelm the Dorniniou 'Govern - called to power. It was only then that Mr. Nil:mat began bis peculiar tactics as a Provincial champion. 1 -le saw 'how the suit could be timed to political advantage, and 'used it for all it was worth as a source of party eapital• Endeavors were made to prejudice the people by outcries of "robbery," and the Little Premier loved to pose in the light of the honest householder standing at the gate armed with a blunderbuss to 'keep off intruders. The attitude thus assumed made it all the more necessary that the boundary should be strictly and finally settled, so -as to prevent the question from becoming a chronic sore as between the two govern- ments. But to set thetrue boundary 'was a most -difficult problem. How west? Hon. D. Mills was employ- ed for see months in examining authorities in the Parliamentary library at Ottawa, and be made voluminous report's. At one time the boundary was claimed to be at -meet, is acting like a hownerang, the Rocky Mourrtains, at another and Mr. Mowat is more afraid of it The Miseissippi River was define than any other issue in the cern- S such The whole point was In Au a well be may be.

The aim of modern polities is to keep clerical influence from bearing o the state, but these are not, nor have .they been Mr. Mowat's pates. He has de- ferred to the church in the educa- tional system .especially, and if there is anything which should be stoutly guarded froni any encroach. ment wbatevereit is the educational system. If Mr. llowat's Govern- ment'has been an offender in act, it hasbeen a greater offenderin in- tention, for it has laid the founda- tion for clerical control in this pro- vince which would -ultimately ruin any government which counten- anced it, and ruin the country as -well. The time 'has come when all men who value freedom, who honor integrity in public life, and expect honest dealings in all things, should gather together and put a linietus on the rule of faction which Mr. Mowat has encouraged in this prov- ince more Than any legislator who has had to do with its government. MR. MOWAT'S PET CACKLE. Mr. Mowat's pet theme is still, the so-called anti -provincial policy t of the disputed boundary. He tells. his friends what an enemy of the province Sir John was, omitting all mention of Sir John's majority sin Parliament from Ontario. Now, the question at issue in respect of the boundary was not one of politics, but law. It was forced upon •the Government of Sir John TA acdonald in pursuance of a suit begun against the Province by the Hon. Alex. Mackenzie during his term of office. So long as Mr. Mackeazie was Premier the case had the com- plexion of mutual amity. There was no charge against the Liberal government for having instituted it ; Mr. Mackenzie was not de- nounced from the husting as "an enemy of Ontario," an antipro. vincialist and a robber. On the contrary, it being a matter purely tor the law to determine, a friendly suit was set in motion for that pur- pose. The lands were required for settlement, the control of the tim- ber reserves was necessary to be settled one way or the other, and to do this it became requisite that tile exact boundary should be located in a way that• neither party could cavil at. And the question was going on smoothly enough at the time the 1\fackenzie government was defeated and Sir John was re - Child or Ftcrs by a tang shot of that firet claimed by the Mowat Government. PERSONS ENTITLED TO, VOTE. (1) Must be on voters' list. (2) Must he British subject and I year's old. (3) Must have xesided in Ontario for nine months preceding tirne fixed by .statute for &ginning to make assessment roll on which list is based, viz., xsth Eeb., 1889, unless altered by by law.; see R. S. 0. 1,93, sec. 49, or twelve months preceding time up to which corn - plaint can be made to County Judge under Voters' List Act, viz., 30 days after list posted by clerk ; see Ontario stat., 1889, cap. 3, sec. 13. Get certificate at once from Municipal Clerk when posted. (4) Must have been bona fide resident of and.domiciled in mun- icipality at the time fixed as afore! said, viz.,for commencing assess - meat roll forenaking complaints against voters' 1st. i(se Must, on polling day. be a resident of and domiciled in riding, and,must have resided in riding continuously eince the time fixed as aforesaid, viz„.for commencing assessment roll, orifor making com- plaints against voters' list, as the case may be. Temporary absence, as lumber- man, m.ariner, fisherman or student does not disqualify. man or a party should be allowed to fasten upon the country so loeg. It encourages (barnacalism in public offices and breeds a 'desire to rule always, and men who are poseessecl day that desire will do any injust- lee, resort to any unfair or underhand means to keep the power they have got. If the people of Ontario perpetuate thia' rule, which has done limn to encourage faction and arouse religious animosity, it will be at their own cost, for 1* sure of it' that if Mr. Mowat be retuned the Church will not let him forget that it was to it. that hetewed his victory and :rt will make him pay, and pay dearly, tfor it. WHAT MR, MEREDITH PRO- POSES. Mr. Meredith does not propose to abolish :separate schools. Ho could not abolish them if he would, nor can any powerabolish them -withoutna change na the British North America Apt. Mr, Meredith said in his speach at London "ow, sir, we have implanted in our constitution the deettee that *here eball be separate vhoolo, audthat deereepresgribea teat they OAR exist MI a, Imola upon which they existed at the time of confederation. We cannot alter that if we woulti." What 'the conservative ileader does propose is this 1.

We echoed taxes ahall be paid to the separate :school board, indeed and 461!?%oTe 71;igslerk regt1a proper praa1Zeitides desire to withdraw his support from -the -separate seboola. 2.

Mr. 'Meredith's propose' would place it beyond the power of any peraou save the ratepayer himself to say which school ho desires to send his children to. Mr. Mowat's law leaves the ratepayer no choice, but gives power to others to compel him to eetul.lua-ehildren to th separate school - 4.

No teeeliee eball-be employed in pain lie schools who does: not hold proper certificates of qualifieations. .Mr. Ross stated in the -house that the policy he was punning "was all that was necessary and all that was satisfac- tory," but the report of his own corn- minsioners said "Tho supply of teachers has been ob- Wiped in the past alaaost.entirely from the public schools within the counties, and from various educational institutions in Ottawa and in the province of +Quebec Of -the 69 teachers employed in the French sahools inspected by us, tenly three had attended a high school, and only two had received any trainiug hi either a normal or a modal school in Ontario. One had a second-class certificate, 000 had a third- class certificate, two had county board certificates, forty-seven hadolistrict certifi- cates, and eighteen, 91 whom five were assistants, had permits granted by the inspectors. Taking the proficiency of the French teachers in the use of the English lantruage as the basis of olassitication,, twenty.sig may be classed as good, twenty as fair, and nineteen as not competent to teach Englishwith any degree of efficiency." As the,effect of this state of affairs the commissioners say, "many English par- 9nts.complain that their, children are imperfectly taught by French teachers, whose knowledge of English is too limit- ed to.enable them to impart instruction properly in that language ;" and that "some have taken their children from their,own •sehool, which is taught by a French teaoher. and have sent them to an English sehool in another section." 6, No books shall he used in public schools but thoae authorized by the depart- ment, There Are Good Men In Store. On this point Mr. Mowat's commissioners reported: The Toronto News an Independent 44The readers. a graduated series of five Reform ,paper has the following to say books, were prepared by Mr. A. N.

There are many things to Mr. Mowat's credit, but the one fault of being the creature of the hierarchy has largely destroyed confidence in him and soured liberal -minded people against him. It is upon that shortcoming he will be judged, and upon it he will be punished. He has been twenty years or so in power, and it is not in the public interest that a No one has objected to this provision but the Roman Catholic clergy, and at the last election of separate school trus- tees in Toronto priests sat in'the polling booths to influence and intimidate the voters, and with such effect that every candidate as a trustee who was known to be favorable to the ballot was over- whelmingly defeated. If the. 'ballot is a good enough way to elect municipal or legislative officers, it is good enough to elect a school trustee. 113111,0 S.'
