Among his k countrymen he is looked it on as a r} Tt' leading champion of French in- terest$, if not. a Stench natiouality, nz}d as the author and successful supporter (A the Jesuits Estates bill he won the entire support of u most powerful organization. Not- withstanding that it was shown a shoat time agothat the most in- blus1nable bribery played a promi- nentart nn the history of the Gov- ernment, the revelations made have had no effect other than to increase Mr. Mercier's majority. Probably opinion prevails that there is more tO gain out Of supporting such a clever fellow as he has shown him- self to be than can be gained out of travelling with an Opposition which has no contractors l e lhi i .l h to help when needed. The Quebec victory was but a eepetitiert of fir. Mowat's vzctery m Ontario, only :t was in vre pronounced. Every constitueucy where the English predominated wept against Mr. Mercier, but they are few, and the English form a very small rtion of the po Hula• tion. Still their vote shows that English opinion is not in accord with Mr. Mercier. fuel that it wt uld overturn his Guv'erprnent if it ceitlel, which is an index showing that they regard hien as opposed interestp. This has ben plainly perceptible to outsiders, although it has been denied by the supporters of Mr. Mercier, who profess to have many friends among the English. The premiers of the two provinces owe h Church a much to the C u ] vote, and will have to pay it to the best of their ability. They certainly form a strong combination, and it will have to be .a strong combination which will turn them out. point the county treasurer in every county, so that all Conservatives be disqualified in the future from fulling the ofnee of Co. Treasurer. EDITOR AL NOTES. I111t, MowAr has not yet found time to telegraph his cougratulatious to Mr. Mercier. Does he judge that to do so would be less discreet than it was atfer the last general election credit, or any money raised by taxation or otherwise either to be used for the purpose of founding maintaining or aiding by appropria- tion,payments far services, expenses or othe,awise, any church, religious denomination, or religious society,. or any institution, society ornnder• taking which is wholly or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical control or conference," Conference of other ogrganization are tQ be called throughout the country with a viewto arousing public sentiment in favor of this amendment, THOSE who profess to have studied the action on the human #rattle of different triads of liquors claim that, while whiskey inflames the passions, beer has a soporific deadening effect. but Smith, who was hanged at London for the mur- der of his wife while drunk, corn - milted his cringe while under the inftuence of beer. The probabili- ties are that no two men are con- stituted so exactly alike that a glass of auy given kind of liquor will have precisely the same effect in all cases. SCRUITATOIt,'S GRIEVANCE THE Huron Expositor of the x3tll inst. contains a communication signed "Scruitator", finding fault with the present County Treasurer, Mr. Holmes, for taking part in the recent elections. Scruitator must either be a stranger in the county, or his memory is very defective, as Mr. A. M. Ross while Treasurer of this county took a prominent part in politics. He, as treasurer of Huron county, represented the West riding for a number of years previous to his entering the Mowat Cabinet in x883, and after he had became a Cabinet Minister held on to the treasurership, lP and nothing g fear of bei but the uput out g of office induced him to resign his position as treasurer of the county. What appears to be an unpardon- able offence in the eyes of Scruitator. on Mr, Holmes' part was a virtue in Mr. Ross. He, a party poli- ticians could take part in election campaigns and become a member of a party government, while just as much a servant of the people as Mr. Holmes. During the time Mr. Ross as a party politician repre- sented West Huron no Scruitator ever condemned him for taking part in pcihtical elections, neither would there be any fault found with the present treasurer providing he be- longed to the same political party as Scruitator. But Mr. Holmes being a Conservative, he has given. offence to 'Scruitator, and he now caI:ls on the county council to en- qnire into their servant's conduct. Would it not be bete er for Scruitator to have Mr. Mowat make some reform in the law byway of amend- ments so that Mr. Mowat may P• Till.
