NOTES AND COMMENTS The Ontario Government ititenda to gerrymander the Proymce before the general election. ee x x Efon. Oliver Moveat "Ii1W unanimously nominated by the Liberalof North Ox- ford on Wednesday, He will be op- poged by a Patrou candidate. x x 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. x x 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. x X 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 • eyer since the ests.blishnient was placed in commission this vvo iicl represent a total of nearly $300,000. This is too much altogether to pay for mere frills and the people should mark foe condem- nation in the coming election those members of the Legislature who vote argainet the resolution of the member for Muskoka, • x x x • Toronto has, on se) eral occasions, been forced by the ()our ss to pay heavy damages to people who hare been in- • jured by falling on in, sidewalke, The silty it now applying to t,he Legislature for each a thango in the law as will Make it impossible for individuals to zeolite judgments againze any municepal corporation on similar claimhereafter.

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.

Sir Oliver Mowat replied. He said that the commission nad not as yet been ap- pointed. Mr. Clarke asked: Did the Government In the year 1892 or 1893, instruct Mr. J. K. Stewart, Proviticial Inspector of Licen- ses, to enquire into the operation of the license law in the city of Hamilton, and, as to the aecommodation provided by the places to which lisienses were given in the city. Has the provincial inspector made a report to the Government in relation to these matters, ana if so, did he find that places were licensed which had not the requisite accommodation? Mr. Harcourt answered. He said that the alovernment had so instructed Mr. Stewart; that he had so reported and. that he had found that there were instaneee 'when the law had not been complied with. A deputation of the Knights Templar waited on the Government yesterday and respelled that a bill should be passed aboliseing the retail sale of liquor. Sit Oliver Mowat, replying on behalf of his Cabin3t, said that the Government had not ittended moving in the matter this session, but since the reauest had been made by so influential a body he would re- consider the question.

His xesignation had not yet been accepted. His salary was $400 per year. Mr. Wood (Brant) moved for an order of the House for a return. duly compiled from the census retnrns for the year 1891, of the federal census for the province showing the population for each county and district and the municipalities situate there; also, the population of the unorgan- ized territory. t The motion passed.

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 without hesitation. The amendment to vest in the county council the coetrol of the compulsory pur- chase of allotments under the Allotment Act and the hiring of land was agreed to. The concession thus made by the Com- mons virtually completes the accord be- tween the Rouses. The sitting was ad- journedauntil Thursday, when Parliament will he prorogued. After President Vasquez's mood. LA LTBERTAD, Salvador, Feb. 27. -Orders have been sent by Gen. Pelicarpe Bonilla, who is now supreme in Honduras, to all his forces and to all officials ot the,over- turned government, to pursue the con- quered President, Vasquez.' Escape seems almost impossible, and Bonilla declares he will have Vasquez shot to death. A.nother Prencli ibuei. PAms, Feb, 27.-A duel was fou,ght yeti- • terday between M.
