Frenoh. Progress in Ontario. If at the formation of Confeder- ation anyone had ventured to say that in little rs ore than a quarter of a century a slat would be de- inanded in the cabinet of this es- sentially British and U. E, Loyal- ist Province at Ontario as a right belonging to the French Canadian • people of the Province, he would probably have been laughed to scorn. Remote probabilities gen- erally appear improbable, and distant dangers are frequently unheeded. However, Ontario is tcrday listening to such a den:tax:id. It is being made by Mr. Evan- turel, who demands that the port- folio held by Mr. Harty, the de- feated member for Kingston, be transferred to him. He threatens that if his demand be not complied with he will join the forces under the leadership of Mr. Meredidi. Mr. Evanturel represents the County of Prescott. He had the good fortune to secure a majority even against a Patron Candidate of about about ioo0 althe election - in June, notwithstanding that many of his constituents are Pat- rons and in spite of the fact that he was not in the riding during the campaign, but was stumping other French Canadian vart s of Ontario for Sir Oliver Mowat. The "ca.nvass was conducted in his ab- sence by the church. The voters were marshalled to the polls under orders. The interests of the French race being at stake in an English Protestant province, he could scarcely fail of election by an overwhelming majority• with such a powerful agency, as the church working in his behalf among the docile, obedient and religious -French Canadians, taught, as they are, to believe that if England did wrest Canada from old France by force of arms, they can and should, by union, repossess it as new France by means of the power they can secure under free British institutions in its various • legislatures. Mr. Evan buret, be it added, would find, DO insuperable obstacle in the way of becoming a supporter of Mr. Meredith. As party fealty sits lightly upon him, he would not hesitate to desert Mr. Mowat and his colleagues and thus jeopardize what small chance they may have of holdieg on to the offices and the salaries they love so vrell. In fact, the Govern- ment's extremity may be regarded as Mr. Evanturel's opportunity. Preyious to ths Riel rebellion, he was a thorough going Conservative, if a French Canadian, looking as they all as a race do to the ulti- mate control of all territory west of Gaspe, can be considered as having any geenine sympathy with the principles enunciated by either Conservatives or Liberals. But he turned his support to the Liberal party when the murderer Riel was hanged for his many crimes and the Liberals champion- ed his cause --Biel being consider- ed by him as an exponent of the ic.'e a entertained by the French as a body, that. ei reconverting British North America into a French Catholic possession. it is becniuscr. Mr. Eleanturel is a triench Catholic that his demand for a portfolio in the Government f this Province is of special significance-evea an Irish Oath() lie like Mr. Ltarty, must, be set aside when a, FrenChtrian is put forward by Lower Canada; eor. French dislike the Irish or their own religious faith most .'cordially unless when they are ueeful in advancing the Freeell idea*, The policy of the French. ecclesiastics 18 in direct antagdnism to British Canadian policy. They are in ehort two nations Warring' 'within 00 State. It has been so for xso yeats, mid the demand that a representative and promoter ,frthC French Or Richt° idea hould hold a portfolio, in the Government of Ontario' marks an imp ,rtant seep in the progress of' the triovcetient so cleverly ma.naged by French ecclesiasticism, Apart from he French movement this 'demand might be of little conse- quence. In that it is lite a inilee post ( neblieg its to see what For eerverts hesdaehe arc L p. 0, progress the ehurele has Made in its steady advance for 16-e years under disadvantageous conditions it means much; in what it discloses as to the purposes of the church in the future and the methods by which those purposes are to be accomplished it means very much more, The basis of the Claire made on behalf of the French Canadians, that they, should have a repre- sentative m the Ontario Cabinet as a guardian of their interests in this Province, is to be found in the agreements made between the English and French generals when Canada was conquered; in the treaty of peace which followed the con- quest; and in the Quebec Act passed by the British Parliament in 1774. By the first, the French people were permitted to worship according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church so far as the English law permitted—a very elastic privilege when we consider now English and Canadian law has been changed, as in the sep- arate school law of Ontario, to suit the requirements and cierna.nds of the church, IT3y the second, or the' treaty, these privileges were confirmed, with additions. By the Quebec Act, passed to appease the 0a.tholic clergy on the eve of the American revolution, the church was given the right to collect tithes from all catholics occupying land in such parishes ae then existed. French law was substituted for English law in order that the privileges might be better secured. As the boundaries or limits of parishes were not at that time determined, the French claim is that they extended from their several points of beginning in the east as far westward and north- ward as French possession went. France undoubtedly possessed all the territory now known as On i tano, as well as what is now Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Minaesota., Dakota, &o. The surrender by England to the United States of the territory east of the itlississippi, north of the Ohio and west of lakes Huron and Erie cut off and saved that territory from the operation of the tithe and other laws of the kind in the interest of the church which in Canada survive the French regime. Ontario was temporarily cut off from the system when it was handed over to U. E Loyalist settlers, and has so re- mained while the French had little or no voice in electing its" parlia meats. To secure such control of the Legislature of Ontario as will result in the acknowledgement of its alleged right to make the state collect its tithes and other clerical taxes from Catholic oce cupants of land here, for catholic purposes, is a purpose the church desires to achieve in its proper time. A layer of some note re- cently wrote a small volume to demonstrate that the church pos- sesses this right, and should en- force it when in a posieion to do so. For his opinion he was hand- somely rewarded by Laval univer- sity, of Montreal. This power of compelling the state to maintain the church can tis obtained only by degrees, by s'ealthy, steady advance. There may be many minor advantages to be gained fist. The presence ia the cabinet of a French Canadian devoted to the cause , of French nationalism, as Louis Riel understood it, will be a great advantage. it will be an acknowledgement of French representation, apart from mere catholic representation, as a prin- ciple that must not hereafter be departed from. Evanturel is powerfully backed, not only by Quebec, but by portions of On- tario as well. The French control Prescott, Russell, Glengarry, Stor- mont. Ottawa, North and South Essex, West Kent, Simcoe, Nipis- sing and East Algoma, and they are not without the power of de eliding elections even in the County of Huron. So that the English garrison of the province, vastly outnumbering the French, as they do, are yet surrounded by a cordon of French settlements dominating the particular districts in which they eeside. Almost every vote they posses -ed went to their friend Mowat in the recent election, They were carefully looked after from Quebrc. It will be seen that the Freneh boast that they will some day con- trol Ontario as completely as they do, Quebec is not altogether an empty one. Should the constituen cies named,which are all Liberal in the Legi31ature, say that Mr. Evanturel must become a minister, Mr. Mowat will be compelled to give way, unless he moderates his clesirelor office at the expense of principle. The Patrons may hold the balance of power, but it. looks very much as though the French Canadians hold it too. They are at least sufficiently influential to make things extremely interesting for whoever may become premier of Ontario, but especially for the party which has had the bent of their "solid vote!' beeause it had allowed the public eellOole in the Frerioh districts, especially in tire eastern part of the province and Do liNtosA 'ILIA ENT along the line of the Canadian PacilinBailway Algeam and the , Nipissing distriets to become little ite0arthy .3.foyes His 'Amendment to.

X X X Under the head of "Pelitical" the Expositor, printed by Mr. McLean, has the kJ:lowing : -"There are a number of people belongine to two different classes who are kicking themselves for the part they played in in the recent contest. One sacrificed principle for the sake of nationality, and only gained defeat. The other, the Tempters, svieillowed. their professed temperance principles." Mr. McLean is certainly very complimentary with the Germen population of South Huron. Berems they exercised the right of freemen end voted for an honest German, they are described as unprincipled people by the man who expected but did not get their votes. Such is the liberality ut the self -anointed apestle of Liberalism. The Templare Who did not vote for Mr. McLean are no better in his opinion than the Germane, for they "swallowed their principles," and, headds, "gained public comtempt." This ahute of gco 1 people is outrageous. They were justi- fied in voting against Mr. McLean. They knew that if a Conservative intro- duced a tempetance measure he would, notwithstanding that he is oCcasionaIly a total abstainer vote against it. Pile Weismiller did not profess to hold pro hibition ideas, he was manly, in not attempting to wear a mask, and the Templers decided that they were just as well off lit supporting hire as one who would vote against theta while profess leg to be their friend. Yet, forsooth, because theee two classes obese to think for themselves, they must be described by the meinher-emet as, un- principled and false to their principles.

Sear- geant, in speaking of the wrecking at Battle Creek, says there is not the slightest doubt, but that the outrage was the out- come of the strike. The official despatch from the scene of the wreck stated that the track walker had just passed the point where the wreck took place and everything was all right then. This goes to show that the wreckers set themselves deliberately to wreck the train just before it passed. A reward of $500 has been offered by the company for the capture of the wreckers and a crowd of Grand Trunk detectives are scouring the country on both sides of the line in hopes to make arrests. • Ontario Bale Association.
