The Ontario Government ititenda to
gerrymander the Proymce before the
general election.

The wealfily State of New York, with
a population equate° that of the whole
Dominion, does not \sprevide an official
residence for its govareor. Then why
:should Ontario maintain frills that even
the 'New Yorkers, with all their fond-
ness for display, manage to do a ithout.

The failures during the past week
numbered in the United States 228;
against 193 last year, and in Canada 51
against 37 Iast year. Both in numbei
and in magnitude commercial disasters
have diminiehed.
IXX
Dr. Ryerson has given notice of his
intention to move for the abolition. of
church exemptions. Mr. Meredith will
bring up a motion providing for bien-
nial sessions. Mr. Marter has announc-
ed that he will ask the Assembly to vote
on a proposition to do away with the
Government House. This is a session of
radical proposals and these are all com-
• ing from the Conservative Opposition.
-x x x
Mr. Meredith asks that the use of the
ballot shall be made compulsory in all
school election's, Public; and Separate,
in cities, towns and incoeporated villages
and where there are township boards.
This proposal, if adopted, will remove
the objections to the . Comee bill as
first drafted, It will ersure the right
to a secret vote, where mach is needed,
and at the same time avoid placing an
unnecessary burden on rural school
sections.
x x x
Proposals to tax mortgages and abol-
ish covenants are always met by he in-
• controvertible aigument that the lender
would make the borrower carry any
new burdens which the law imposed on
him. And if cheap money be a boon to
the farmer, dear money would add to
the,bitterneas of his distress. Low in-
terest and longer terra mortgages that
tempt the farmer to borrow are not the
friends of agriculture. Tf interest had
been higher, and it had 'been harder to
borrow money on the olcl farm, there
would have been fewer mortgages and
more happiness in Ontario to -day.

ffiThere is a motion betore the Rouse
to do away with the Government House
in Toronto which seems to be in keeping
-with the retrenchment necessary in
many branches of publio service. The
cost of the official residence, including
interest on invested caeitel, is not less
than $13,000 per annum. Assuming
that the outlay has been about the tame

light upon the bed bug is not the rn,ost

bed bug. M. McLean evidently feele
tame this, hie first Com dear, has felled
his purpose anti has lost for him the very
thing, whieh above all things, he Wished
for, viz :- "the Petrone' vote,'" Lest
week we stated that Mr. McLean had
truckled to the }Patrons without success,
anel that when he found no favor iii the
sight of the Patrons, he had represent-
ative/3 attenl their eonvention, pledged
to checkmate any action that might in-
jure his chances of aucceee in the com-
ing election, alarmed ae he is ab Mr.
Weismiller's prospects. This statement
has angered Mr. McLean, and he de-
votee more than a column of his $1.50
per year journal to heated abuse of Tne,
Taus, in a half-hearted denial of our
o harges, but at the atone time virtually
admitting all he seeks to deny. Not all
his assumed indignation and fox -like
denials can now save him from the un-
happy muddle he has made of it with the
Patrons. With, all Mr, McLean's twad-
dle as to his smartness, his influence,
his fitness for political preferment, and
his other extravagant pretensions, he
takes good care that he does not deny,
because he dare not deny, our allegation
'that he sent representatives to the
Patrons' convention to defeat any move-
ment there -which might prejudice his
candidature.' Lest Mr. McLean may
complain thab the charge is too general,
we will make a special charge,
and we
challenge him to deny it. This special
charge is that Mr. MoLean drove from
Seaforth away down into the township
of Usborne upon a certain day and inter-
yiewecl a certain prominent Patron of
his own political persuasion, and exacted
from this Patron a solemn "fail -me -not"
promise to attend the convention of
Patrons, and to fix things so that in the
event of a cendidate being brought out,
he be a Conservative and not a Reform
Patron. Does he not also remeinber
interceding wiEli a close friend in
Stephen tovvriship fur the same purpose?
And how well the little scheme worked,
the result of the convention proves ;
and it is said that air. McLean, when he
heard of the success of the plans, boast-
ed of spiking the guns of the Patrons,
and chuckled over the manner in which
he had pulled. the wool over their eyea.
The Patrons are not the fools, however;
that Mr. McLean believed them to be,
and. they soon got onto his little game,
have reloaded their guns and are after
him with a vengeance, We find Mr.
McLean getting down on his marrow
bones and glorifying inthe triumph of the
principles of the Patrons, while at the
same time seeking to kindle and spread
the flames of polibical discord and strife
in their reeks.
Mr. McLeanneyer was on the Patrons
platform and neyer advocated their
principles of reform, retrenchment and
economy/ and it is utter. cant and hypo-
crisy for him to represent himself any-
thing other than a machine politician,
pledged to support Sir Oliver, Mowat,
whether it be in maintaining a horde of
over -salaried officials at the expense of
the rural municipalities, the robbing of
these municipalities in the matter of
license moneys, or in any or all their ex-
travagance It is not more than three or
four years ago since we heard Mr. Mc-
Lean defend the Government in the mat
ter of the expenditure of millions of
dollars of our money in the erection of
the new Parliament buildings, princi-
pally he contended, because Ontario
was a large P, ovince, wealthy and pros-
perous and Toronto a beautiful city,
and therefore the buildings should be
large and imposing. This sounds like
Patrons of Industry logic. Mr. McLean
only a fors years ago strenuously upheld
the Local Government in their increase
of salary grab, no doubt looking forward
to his share of the spoil when the oppor-
tunity arose. Another indication of hia
principles of (1) economy le found in the
feet that in the year 1891, while:a mem-
ber of the Board for the first time, he
voted that the members of tho Huron
County Council increase their salary
from $2 to $3 per day. The Patrons/
were not a strung end influential organ;
ization then. We have only to look to
North Bruce, East Lametton and South
Laeark elections to ascertain how much
the Liberal candidates "glorily in the
principles of the Patrons.'
We repeat our statement that Mr.
McLean and his friends packed the Re-
form Convention to insure hie nomina-
tion. For months before the Conven-
tion, Mr. McLean was "fixing" things
for himself, and quietly knifing Mr.
Bishop. Mr. MoLeau might as well be
fratik in this matter and admit ib. He
does not specifically deny it, and the
secret, if it ever was a secret, is now an
open one. If Mr. McLean was guilty
of the treachery we allege towards the
Patrons, and we are prepared with the
proof, surely we need riot be called
upon to prove his •ereachery to. Mr.
Bishop.
Mr. McLean errs, and does so mal-
ieiously, when he states that. THE TIMES
hag ever pelted bad aad mean epithets
at Mr. Bishop. On the "contrary, While
differing with Mr. Biehop in polities, We
have alweye admired and respeoted him
as a straightforward, upright and de-
serving citizen, and we have frequeetly
so expressed ourselves in the columns Of
this paper. We would refer Mr. Mc-
Lean on that swore to Mr. Bishop
himself. But this is Mr. Metes/We way
of making:us say of Mr. Bishop what
Mr. McLean would like to bay, hut dare

report to the Government in relation to
these matters, ana if so, did he find that

Government 'measures Introduced
TonoNTo, Feb. 27. -At the sitting of the
Legislature yeaterday Dr. Ryerson asked
whether a commiesion had been appointed
to empire into the charges indite against
Dr. Bryee, secretary of the Provincial
• Board of Health, by G. A. Dorion.
Mr. Harcourt answered that Mt Flem-
ing, the inepeetor of legal offices, and Dr.
• Rae had been appointed a commission to
make the necessary inquiries.
The followino• new bills were introduced
and read a first'stinie:
Hon. Mr. Ross -An ..ect respecting Up-
per Canada College,
• Ron. Mr. Gibson -An A.ce respecting
mortgages and sales of personal property.
Sir Oliver Mowat-Respeeting cannons
of conciliation and arbitration for settling
industrial disputes.
Mr. Balfour -To prevent the taking of
natural gas from the ground or forcing it
from the ground by any other means than
the natural flow. .
Mr. Balfour moved for a return showing
the number of persons employed, temporari-
ly or permanently, by the Government, in
tee service of the province on the 31st of
December, 1398, together with their names,
ages, natiooality, religion, salary, occupa-
tion, place of residence and date of ap-
pointment; but not including mechanics,
artisaus, laborers or like employes, whose
cn ,agement or employment was of a merely
temporary character. Also, a similar re
turn as to all persons not included in the
foregoiug and who have been appointed by
the Government to any permanent or tem-
porary office or position under the crown,
either for or within the province, or in, or
for, or in respect of any county or any
district or other locality in the province.
Also, a similar return as to all sessional
clerks now employed. .
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided that the return should include all
employes for 1894 as well.
Mr. Balfour moved that the returns pro-
vided for by the orders of this House re-
latine6to the public service, passed on the
10111 day of April and 19th day of May
last, shall contain. in addition to the in-
formation for the year 1871 and 1892, pro-
vided for by the said orders, like informa-
tion regarding the year 1878:
MT. Balfour's bill respecting natural gas
has been prompted by the rumored attempt
of a company to pump gas from Essex
county to the city of Detroit, a like attempt
to tha tthreatened in Welland county. "The
bill prohibits the use of pumps and com-
pressors for the extraction of the natural
gas faster than it would flow," said Mr.
Balfour to a reporter. "We have larger
wells in Essex county than they have in
Welland, and e company has
ta
ting in pumps, with the intentisonrotefabnpfuldt:
mg a pipe line to Windsor and, Walker-
ville, and obviously over to Detroit. The
supply carried to that city from the Ohio
and Indiana -wells is rapidly becoming ex-
hausted. The use of these compressors, it
is claimed, creates a vacuum in the wells,
which prevents the further accumulation
of more gas, and fields which would last
12 or 15 years would by their use be ex-
hausted in four or five."
The main features in the bill introduced -
by the Hom G. W. Ross respecting Upper
Canada College is a provision for the elec-
tion of four of its trustees by the "old
boys" a the college. This provision,
Mr. Ross says, if it passes, will have the
effect of placing in the hands of the trus-
tees, more fully than heretofore,' ehe
management of the college. At present
the board is coinposed. of nine metnbets,
of whom B.ve are appointed by the Ontario
Government. • Hon. • Mr. Ross' bill also
provides that all recommendations for
appointment on the stall of the college
shall be made by the traeteee.
Hon, Me Gibson's bill respecting mort-
gages and sales of personal property is
a general revision of the statute on these
subjects.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
French risherles at Newfoundland -Lords
and Commons in Accord.
LONDON, Feb. 27. -In the *ease of Com-
mons last evening Sit Edward Grey, Par-
liamentary Secretary for the Foreign
Office, called attention to the official,
journal of St. Pierre, Miquelon, directing
Frenoh fishereaen wishing to fish on the
French shore to register for fixed places on
the coast.. He also called attention to a
newspaper statement that France was
going to improve the position of the fisheres
men assuring them fixed places on shore.
Concerning questions whether the treaty
ri,ahts of France were confined to the dry-
ing on shore of fish caught by Frenchmen
of French vessels; whether the proposal to
bring fishermen ashore did not constitute a
breach of treater and whether it vvas not
contrary to treaty ,for the French to live or
staucl on shore, the Government held that
the thirteen articles of the Utrecht con-
vention limited the rights of France to the
erection of stages made of boards and huts
for drying fish. It was a question, there-
fore, whether the proposed French ar-
rangement was consistent with existing
treaties. The Colonial Government had
stated that while they had no intention of
levying a duty of goods brought by French
citizens in fishing boats solely for the sus-
tenance of the crew during the season or
for the purpose of drying fish, they intend
in future to exercise' the right of requiring
vessels- entering Newfoundland ports to
conform to the customs of the colony, and
will collect duties on all goods imported
for whatever 'purpose. This decision had
commenced with France and there was no
ground upon which to interfere with the
Colonial Government's exercise of its
right (cries of "Hero, here, ")
A division was taken on the Lords.
amendment to the parish councils bill, en-
abling parishes of from 200 to 500 inhabi-
tante'. to iispense with parish councils, and
it was rejected. by 212 to 161.
The amendment which provided that
parish councils might choose but a third of
the trustees of local charities was taken
up. Joseph Chamberlain, eupported by
Arthur J. Balfour, averted a conflict on
this pointseby moving a compromise to
which the House ultimately- agreed. This
compromise was embodied. in the optional
(not obligatory)provision that the majority
of the trustees of the local charities should
be nominated by the British Council, The
Government aecepted this compromise
