A Reactionary Oovernment.
Some years ago the liquor Uccle -
sea of Ontario were granted by the
Municipal Councils. In many re-
spects the plan. worked badly. It
was liable to lead to immoral deals
between members at the councils
and holders of licenses. Taverns
were more numerous than they
should have been and drinking was
indulged in to an alarming extent,
A remedy was needed. The
Government of the Province de-
termined to do something ,to lessen
the evil complained of. Mr.
Mowat was known personally to
be a temperance man, and he pro-
posed to take from the municipal
councils the power of granting
licenses. There was e very general
consent, especially as he pledged
himself that the licenses would be
gran ted by commissionerswhowould
be free of political influences and'
party control, and that onernember of
every board would be a Conserva-
tive. Mr. Mowat was then an
hoaiestmau and his net -rd was ac-
cepted. Every person, however,
knows how Mr. Mowat has kept
kis promise. There is not a Con-
serva.tiye on the license board in
the whole province, it may be al-
most asserted. These men—who
are not responsible to the people
in any sense, and receive their
appointments because they can be
depended on to use their offices
for the benefit of the G overnment—
are allowed to exercise power
which before Mr. Mowat's descent
from the bench to take part in
politics, was placed in the hands
of the councils who were at least
responsible to the ratepayers of the
municipalities. Such is the action
of a so-called reform government,
who should if they are true to re-
form principles as enuniciated by
the great reformer, Robert Bald-
win, increase instead of diminish-
ing the people's powers of self-
government. This is not only an
Abandonment of principle but an
absolute robbery from the people—
retrogression, not reform. Many
.Yeilaerals in South Huron supported
it when they voted for Mr. Mc-
Lean, the machine politician sup-
porting the present day family
compact,
But still another phase of this
license question presents itself for
the consideration of Liberals.
After the rebellion of 1837 had de-
stroyed the family compact which
ruled Upper Canada, the British,
Government decided to lessen the
powers of the government. They
gave Ontario the municipal system
it enjoys. It was mainly modelled
after the system prevailing in the
State of New York, it being
thought advisable to have the
institutions of Canada and the
States lying as they do side by
side on a new continent, as much
alike as was consistent with the
maintenance by Canada of British
. connection. The liceesing power
was given to the municipalities.
it was devised for the purpose of
providing revenues with ,which to
maintain them. This had been
demanded by the Mackenzie rebels
as one means by which the power
of the Family Compact could be
destroyed and the people's powers
of self government extended. As
being almost exclusively a muni-
cipal matter, the revenues were
almost wholly retained by the
municipal councilso,vho usedthern in
making roads and other municipal
improvements with the expectation
that the tax -gatherer would not be
required to make heavy demands
upon the property owners and
other taxpayers. But the reform-
ers who planned such an excellent
seritena for such an excellent pur-
poee have had their plane over.
thrown by such miscalled liberals
aSSir Oliver Mowat, Harder and
others. The licenee fund is now
considered a provincial rather than
a municipal one, just the reverse of
Jag reform idea, Where the
municipal councils got $8 from
the fund when they controlled the
licenses, they now get less than $1.
A direct consequence of this
robbery is that the municipal tax-
payer has to pay heavier taxes to
hie municipal council than he
would have paid had Mowat not
put the money into the provincial

but he isequally guilty in a moral
-ease. The Government winch
does not levy direct taxation must
bear responsibility when by its
misconduct it compels the ntuni-

cipalities to increase the burdens
of the taxpayer.

This is the first time since 183'i that
there has not leiYie a member of the
Mackenzie family in either the Com-
mons or Legislature.
To secure for themselyes a little cone
solation, the Reform Press are counting
on the support of the Patrons in Parlia-
ment. This is amusing when elsewhere
in the same journals we find 'flags and
roosters displayed in joyful celebration
of the defeat of a Patron by a Liberal
candidate.

Courtesy compels us to belive Mr. Mc-
Lean when he says he has not taken
any liquor for thirteen years, even
though it is credibly reported that the
statement is untrue. But if true, how
is he going to account for the "snaky"
editorials on. last week's Expositor'?
Perhaps, however, he is merely intoxi-
cated with joy at his overwhelming
majority of 22.

The Clinton New Era admits that it
is Possible Sir Oliver Mowat will not be
able to :carry on. his government, he
having secured only half the house and
in selecting a speaker will be one in the
inincnity. The New Era takes a sensible
view ot the situation. It will find,
however, when the house meets that
Sir Oliver will be uncomfortably in the
minority, and will have to resign.
x x x
The Patrons, say the Liberal press,
have practically the same platform as
Mowat. Yet the same papers appear
to publish with pleasure a statement
that Senn, of al aldimand, and Dynes,
of Dufferm, Patrons elected, are dis-
qualified, because they are alleged to
hold, one a provincial, the other a
Dominion office. Why not allow these
friends to keep:their seats? We pause
for an answer.

Mr. McLean says his ;majorities were
increased over the old Reform majorities
in those parts of the riding in which he
is best known. Well, he lives in- Sea -
forth. There the majority was increas-
ed by 8. But if we analyze the figures
in that way we find some results not
very consoling to the self -virtuous
member elect. For example'Hay,
where he claimed to have many friends
gave Mr. Bishop a majority of 150 at
the last election, while Mr. McLean
was put in the minority by 8 this time.
Where were his friends ?

The Expositor last week accused THE
TI31E.5 of lying. That is not gentleman.
ly, Mr. McLean,:You should have
stated what THE TD1Es had erred in and
gently branded it as a fabrication. Now
if you will just be good enough to per-
ticularize the "lies' Tun'Truns told, we
shall be only too happy to retrace
where falsehood can be reasonably
established. Perhaps if you can prove
Tim Teensguilty of lying you may be able
to recover the majority in the towieships
of Hay and Stephen when you liftve to
face the peopleeagain in a few months.

The London Adviser is getting quite
fresh. It says the government of Sir
Oliver Mowat would leng ago have
abolished Government House and the
etceteras which have grown to cost
$23,000 a year,laub for the fact that Mr.
Meredith and the Conservatives wished
their continuance. Firstly, it is ridicul.
ous to say that Mr. Meredith's wishes
have ever influenced the government in
the slightest degree; if so, where is our
boasted "responsible government 2"
Secondly, even if so, Sir Oliver should
have been only too glad to welcome
Mr. Meredith even as a tardy convert to
his own views instead of becoming a
Tory when Mr. Meredith became a Lib-
eral. The party is now willing to aban-
don Government House, says the
Advertiser. No doubt, Sir Oliver and
his friends will abandon every principle
they pretended to contend for in the
late election, if the people will only con-
sent to leave them and their friends and
families and families' families in possess-
ion of office and the public treasury.
Such is the history of the Reform party
in Ontario. They have never moved in
any reform until compelled to by public
opinion. That is the secret of their
long continuance in office. Instead of
resigning when they find themselves at
variance with public sentiment, they
simply shift their position and cling to
office because it is personally, profitable
to them and their friends. But the
Advertiser has declared continually
since the election that the Government
policy as sustained, and that the gov-
ernment will have a good working
majority in the new house. Why then,
in abolishing Government House, ahould
the Gov-ernment run counter to public
opinion so lately expressed at the
polls ? We're afraid the lifter is either
redden of its reputation Or woefully
mixed, knocked stupid, as it were by a
eareful ticrairty of the electioh returns,
with all they imply,
Minard's Liniment cures Diphtheria,

The Pellmso Peleee Oar Company
Lae lone! boasted not only of the best
and most efficient tamps on this
coetiaent, hut aloe of the most content-
ed body of skilled workmen in. the
world. The town of Penman, near
Ohioago, hue been everywhere deetribed
sad praised ati the model home of the
artizen, founded upon tho great idea that
the interests of employer and employed
are one, and administered by its owners
with such generous regard for the wel-
fare and the wishes of the resident
laborers as vindicates their far sighted
wisdom by making strikes and serious
disturbances among it men impossible.
Yet on May 11th of this year 3000 of
these working men suddenly refused to
do their work ; the shops were closed,
and bitter hostility has taken the place
of the exceptionally friendly relations so
long preserved between them and the
company, The families noe only of the
strikers, but ' of manyothers whom
opportunity to earn a living is destroy ed
by the strike, are in great want, meagre
ler supported by charity.
After six weeks of .idleness it was
clear that the company would not yield
to the dictation of labor. unions, and
that the men must soon starve or return
to work at the wages offered. Under
these circumstances the American
Railway Union, an association of work-
ingmen employed upon the railroads ot
the country, most of its members on
roads running out of Chicago, determin-
edto interfere. On June 22nd a com-
mittee of the body waited on officers of
the Pullman company to demand a
"settlement" which would satisfy the
workmen, and threatened that if this
were not promised within a few hours
the union would proclaim a " boycott "
of the cars and business of the Pullman
company throughout the country, to
take effect at noon of June 26th. The
Pullman company could not confer
with railroad men with whom they had
no business relations on the conduct of
its worksjand.the threat of the union was
carried out with little delay. Before
ninht of June 28th every signalman,
switchman, brakeman, fireman, and
yardman belonging to the American
Railway Union was ordered not to
handle, move, or in any way assist in
running any Pullman car or any train
containing such a car. Most of the
railroads ending in Chicago run Pullman
sleepers and chair cars by contract with
the Pullman company. Fifteen of these
roads were suddenly thrown into con-
fusion, and all the through passenger
traffic on three or four of them was
stopped. The railway union has called
for aid in its boycott upon all the large
associations of workingmen, and some
ot these have promised co operation,
The Knights of Labor, has joined in
the boycott everywhere, while the
great Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen is also falling into line, until
now there is almost civil war in the
Western States,
It is not easy for a community trained
in the spirit of obedience to law and of
respect to the rights of its nembers to
understand the principles on which the
American Railway Union is acting, Tne
union has been informed by certain
men, who formerly worked for the
Pullman company, but have left its
service, that they want to return to its
work at higher wages than it is willing
to pay. The union at once sends a
committee to order the Pullman com-
pany to open its shops'now closed for
want of orders, and to employ these
men at wages satisfactory to themselves
under the threat that otherwise the
union will embarrass an confound the _
transportation business of thirtymillions
of people, and inflict inestimable incon-
venience and loss upon the whole
tra yelling community. Like the union
itself, several of the large organiz-
ations formed "to improve the con-
dition of labor" are really controlled
by a few reckless demagogues, who
'meet in secret and deliberate whether
or not they shall join in this conspir-
acy to extort terms from a particular
company for a set of men who want
its wages, by injuring the nation.
The argument in favor of ,the boycott,
in plain words, is this : "The labor
organizations are able to make life in-
tolerable in the 'United Stetes. Let
them show their power, and public
opinion will require all employers of
laber to submit to the dictation."
While Mr. McLean, of the Expositor,
is conducting himself like a madman and
calling all his opponents liars, it is well
to know what outside newspaper men
say of him. The Farmers' Sun, the
Patron paper, at all events, judging
from its remarks last week, appears to
think Mr. McLean is just about what
he calls others. It winds up an expesure
of him by saying: "Would it not be a
manly act for the Expositor editor to ac-
knowledge his error now? We knew
him in our boyhood to be an honest man,
but he had not then become the pub -
Helier of a party newspaper."

The extent to which noxious weeds
are allowed to spread in this country is
most alarming, and year after year only
adds to the previous large crops. The
public highways just now in cities,
towns, villages and country places are
actually blocked up with Canada

eye daisy, purslane, wild mustard, hem-
lock, etc. What are authorities in the
several municipalities doing, in the way
of putting %e Act in force relating to
noxious weeds? Anti what are the
several owners of property doing to
allow their premises to be chocked up
with this pestilential and noxious peg-
eteble garbage 1 The law distinctly
states that it shall be the ditty of every
owner of land or the occupant to out
down or destroy all the Canada thistles,
ox -eye daisy, wild oats, rag -weed and
burdock and all other noxious weeds
growing oxi his land, to which this Act
may be extended by by-law of the mun-
icipality, so often. each and every year
as is sufficient to prevent the ripening of
their seed.

OTTAWA, July 10. -Tim commutation of
Maolkherrell's sentence' is until the first
day of October. The Brampton Assizes
will open on September 15-, with Chief
Justice Armour as judge. Walker will
then be tried for the murder of Mrs.
Williams. It is altogether likely that
MaeWherrell will be placed in the box with
hirn apd tried for the same offence. Sir
john Thompson will say to -morrow whether
Or not the condemned man will be given
another trial, and his counsel has every
hope of a favorable reply.
The Crown authorities have much new
testimony, which they believe will convict
Walker. In an interview they, would not
say the exact nature of the evidence. A
Government detective did say, however,
that they would show that Walker was
present in the house at the time of the
murder, and also trace his footsteps back
to the city.

and Loomis Streets was surrounded by a
mob of 6,000 men, women and children.
almost a score of police, officers from the
19th precinct were in the neighborhood
while the wrecking trains were specially
guarded by companies of the Second regi-
ment. For a while the mob contented it-
self with hurling imprecations at the
soldiers to which the latter,having received
orders to act with strict forbearance, paid
no attention. Finally becoming emboldenect
by the paeifin attitude of the troops sonic
of the mob commenced to throw stones,
coupling pins and other missiles as well as
to fire revolvers over the heads of the
soldiers. It became apparent that heroin
measures would be necessary and finally
when another fusilade of stones had been
directed toward the company the order to
fire was given and a volley of government
bullets went into the mob. At the same
moment the -word was given tt) advance
end the men dashed forward with their
ayonets at charge. Alongside of them
dashed the police discharging their revol-
vers over the heads of the mob. Not a
rioter held his ground.
Police officers guarding the North West-
ern freight yards at 16th retreat and Ash-
land aIenue adjoining the Burlington
tiecks engaged in a hand-to-hand conflict
*ith rioters late in the evening. A few
enittutes before this the crowd set fire to
the freight cars standing in the yard.. The
police officers attempted to drive them
away by shooting over their heads. A
yonlig lady, Miss Martha Bat*, was shot
epd ihstantly killed by a bullet from the
volver of a policeman.
The sheddidg of blood. was in obedience
to orders limed by General Miles to shoot
any persons caught in the act of blocking
the highway of inter -state commerce, of
cl4troying railroad property used in the
cittriage of United States mails.
Theefiring of the regulars created intense
etage and excitement. Hundreds of the
rtigla rushed to their homes and returned to
the scene with revolvers and shot -guns,
declaring their intention of killing every
man 'wearing an army uniform.
CJIIICAGO, July 9. -The seat of war in
the railroad strike was transferred yester-
day to Hammond, Ind., just across the
boder line, where from an early hour mob
iioleime reigned supreme, Two compan-
s of regulars were dispatched to the
'ei
gene. Late in the afternoon there was a
itched battle between the regulars and
he Mob, in which one man was killed and
several wounded.
President Dabs in an interview with a
'Melted Press representative last. evening
Bata in speaking of the riots and the shoot-
ing by the troops: "Yen can say that I
ireatly deplore the rioting and disturbances
find regret the shooting down of men who,
X have been informed, have been no part
of the mob* that caused the trouble, I
certainly do deplore this most unfortunate
eccurrence. Yet it cannot be said to in-
jure our cause. I cannot say that the
Strikers are to blame in this matter. In
fact I am confident that they were in no
wise inetigators of the trouble. No, I do
not think that I or my associates are re-
sponsible. Corporate power and the unwise
action of the Government is dolely respon-
sible and this *ill certainly be borne out by
the facts in regard to the reports that I am -
to be arrested."
