THURSDAY, SBPTEMBER 27, 189.1. lYlowatisen Nearing Its End. Oliver Mowat was a chan- te IT judge in re7x. When Mr. Blake and Mr. Mackenzie succeed- ed in defeating the government of .Tohn Saudfield Macdonald, which ad he d office since Confederation eette1867, Messrs. Mackenzie and Blake decided to leave the Local -/i91Seend Confine thernselvee to the Dotnimon Parliament, bidge Mowat was taken from the Bench and being elected for an Oxford riding was made premier in suc cession to ir, Mackenzie. He was brougut from the Bench be. cause, in addition to his reputation for deep piety,he was known amo-g his intimates as an exceedingly cunning man, a qualification which neither Mr. Mackenzie nor Mr. Blake possessed to any great ex- tent. It was expected of Mr. Mowat that he would manage things ete adroitly as to make the position of the Reform party in the oroviece well nigh impregnable. 'This he succeeded in doing, though in accomplishing his purpose, he scattered to the winds every shred of Reform principle, and actually made his party as thor- oughly Tory as any party that has evergoverned in this country—not even excepting the Family Com- pact, whose oppression and cor- ruption drove the Reformers into armed rebellion under Wm. Lyon Mackeuzie in 1837. Mr. Mowat has done this work very cautiously and always with a pretence that he was making a reform. When after the suppression of the Mackenzie rebellion, the principle of respon sible government Was granted the re -united provinces of Upper and - Lower Canada (1841)on the recom mendatio• of Lord Durham, who had enquired into the cause of the rebellion ,we were given practically a Republican form of government. It was thought that if the people were given as much control over their political artairs as the Ameri- cans enjoyed, there would be lit le likelihood of a repetition of the re- bellion. It was also expected that such institutions would be more likely to attract settlers who principally found homes in the • United States. Our faces were therefore deliberately set towards Republicanism by the British gov ernment tor the reason thet the country beside u s,b eing Republica r. was attracting the masses from Europe, while Canada was lagging behind in the race. From 185o up to Confederation, little was done to extend the power of the people and lessen that of the governments, nor had any- thing in the shape of a "forward march" been attempted up to the tune that Mowat succeeded Mac- kenzie as premier. He had nut been in office long before he com- menced to turn bur chariot in quite the opposite direction, not as a matter of principle but because he saw that by increasing the power of his government at the expense of the people, he could strengthen his party and thus make his own party's position in office impreg- • nable and permanent. Certain patronage was in ihe hands of county :Judges, such as the ap pointment of bailiffs and division court clerks. Other officials were appointed by the township and county councils. Theoretically,the system then in vogue may not have been the very best that could be devised, but practically it was alt right. Very little, if any, wrong- • &Meg resulted from the system, Bu± here and her an odd coin. plaint was made that some official had taken a few dollars to which he was not entitled, or that he had in some slight particular gone beyond his legal authority. • These trifling variations from the path of recti. tude gave Mr • Mowat his oppor- • tunity. "These officials must be . appointed briny government," be declared. And so it was decreed. Reformer though he was he did not advocate the extension of he pow. • er of the people. On the ontrary, he adopted the essentially Tory idea of depriving the poople of power and adding to that of the goVertetnent Of which he was the rte4 ad the great Liberal ments, I f here and there a lieforxn. or protested against such Toryism, he was •either kicked out of the party or silenced:by an office at the expense of the people, This was pleasing to the party heelers. All they cared for was office, and if Mr. Mowat increased the number tit offices in his control the better chance lhey had of being provided for for We at the public expense. Ur:n°.1 we have mach offices as sheriffs, registrars, division court clerks, bailiffs, clerks of the peace, registrars of surrogate courts, licence commissioners and inspect- ors, jailors, police magistrates, 84C., appointed by the government, though in the maio their emolu- ments come, if not frorn municipal treasuries, from fees paid by the people who require their services in stead of from the governmen twhich takes to itself their appointment. Theheelers of the partyalways have their eyes on these offices, and. they are given either as rewards for party fidelity or as the price of political apostaoy. By means of this exten sivepatronage the government has retained its friends and captured mane. of its opponents, and thus firmly entrenched itself in power with one conspicuous result that is not yery gratifying to the people who pay taxes, namely,the increase of the cost of provincial govern - tient from $1,800,000 in 187nwhen John San dfield was driven from power, to over $1.,00ee,0e0 in 1892. That is partially the cost of sup- porting Mowatism. But if the Re, form party have permitted this lapse from principle because it assured well paid offices for the party heelers, the people at large who are not looking for such re wards, and who would net get them anyway, but are content to jog through the world unaided by govermxtent favors, are aroused and have determined that such corruption, extravagance and centralization of power must end. The Conservative party under their incorruptible leader, Mr. Meredith, have taken a decided stand on the important question of centralization of powee. The Patron organization too, has spoken. At the June elect- ionsethey captured half the House between them,and the Patrons have knit decided unanimously that they will not support Mowat unless he agrees to their platform, which is practically identical with that of the Conservative party. As the current of public opinion runs against the government, in all probability some of its supporters representing rural constituencies will decide that party must go and that self preser- vation compels them to desert a losing and unpopular cause, we may confidently expect the defeat of Mowat and the end of fossilized Toryism masquerading in the guise of Reform when the House meets. Fires on the Farms. The experience of Ontario mutuals which do principally farm business, goes to show that there is a serious annual loss of property by fire on the farm that might be greatly reduced if proper care were taken. In the last report of the Ontario Inspector of Mines we find atable in which are clessi- fied the causc. of 1,481 fires reported by mutual fire insurance companies in 1892, causing an insurance loss of about half a million dollars. No less than one fourth of these fires have ariseu from such preventable causes as defective chimneys and flues, sparks, matches, lamps and lanterns, stoves and pipes. and spontaneous combustion. Three hundred and sixty fires are pus down to these causes, while incendiarism account for ninety-five, and lightning for between four and five hundred, Rleports of inspectors of individual companies teach a very similiar lesson. The farmer and his household need to be taught greater care in matters con- nected wish fire and fire -places, or with combustible materials in house and batn. Defective chimneys and flues have caused, according to this list, just as many fires as stoves and pipes, that is eighty-eight each, twelve per cent. in all. And next to ineendiarism and lightning these two are the most prolific causes of fire ou the farm. • Rank care- lessness is indicated in a great many instances, as well as in the nee of lanterns, matches or lamps. Seventy- three fires, or five in every hundred, were caused by lamps or lanterns. And besides, of the 320 oases in the list in which the cause of fire is "not stated," or "not known," a laege proportion may rightly be put down to stove pipes, chimneys or lamps. July, August and September are the months in which farm, fires were most numerous. This suggests the danger of stammer kitchens, which are in many cases lean-to sheds, with their stovepipes stuck through a wooden roof. A disc of zinc, with a hole out in it to let the stovepipe through may be placed on the board or shingle roof, but this is not so much intended as a preventative of fire as a soheme to keep out the rain. The idea that any ocreen hi needed to keep sparks from corning out of the pipe and setting Are to the roof does not seem to occur to the average mind. .Chitrineys are often built, and flues shamefully ranntheekle. Stoves are put dangerously Oear woodwork; Pipes, which often become red hot or rusted foto holes, are rul through unprotected wood partitions, with the most rookies deflente of the lata ef combustiorn she are keptin wooden berme; oiled rags are allowed to be kept in forgotten °Otters; the ehance of a 'fire from Sparks ehi ne •tovepine fellin o 'Ofl iii \5 in the beck yard is loRa eked upon as a ilways for the Developinen matter of no oaasequence, instead of of ITurori• being *larded • against as a grave - -.,--- danger; imperfect lanterne are used in• ro Me Zattor of Me Exeter rin10$ the barn, too. Most deeidedly, the farmer and his household should leant that ib j would be money in pocket to look prudently Mter the risks of fire. Suoh camera as bush tires the friction of maohinerY, tramps, thrashers, locomotives, all put together, caused only 1i per cent, of the 1,481 farm tires in 1892, while the pre- ventable causes named above oocasioned 24 per cent. of them, Applying this by way of a suni in arithmetic, the proportion ot loss from preventable oauses cost the farmers of Ontario in. 1892, 8130,008, where those from pure acoiclent cost there less than $7',000. The subject is one which Farmers' Institutes should take up this fall and rviuter and dismiss. The Huron Expositor appears to be unable to discuss a publicquestion with a contemporary without getting into a bad temper. However, The TIMES, which the Expositior has so courteously de- scribed as a "wriggler of the small bore order," whatever that may mean, does not feel any necessity for calling names or flinging mud. Henco. weanswer not a fool according to Ina folly." Tem TIMM has stated that it believes that all public officials who axe paid by fees for services rendered to individuals instead of getting their salaries direct from the treasury of either the Dominion or Provincial Government should either bs elected by the people nr appointed by the County Councils. We believe election by the people the better method. The Expositor say e we do not believe in applying the ',same rule to the Dominion Government and that we would not deprive them of their pat- ronage. For the benefit of our con- temporary which must be trying to secure for itself a reputation as a numb- skull, the TIeiES asks to be permitted to state its position onto more. The Can- adian constitution contemplates govern- ment by several authorities, each of which is supposed to be supreme within its well defined sphere. Each of these authorities is given control of a certain portion of the taxes contributed by the public, and it is responsible to the public Lor the proper expenditure of such taxes. The Dominion Government has charge of the revenues from the post offices, custom houses, inland revenue offices, &c. The provincial government also has certain revenues placed in its charge, so also have the county and the township councils. After these come the people. They pay many officiala by fees. As each of the other governing outhorities hays control over the men who culled and disburse their revenues, and have power to say what their salaries should be, so should the people who pay fees have full control of those who receive the fees. We would. apply the same rule to both governments. We do not, however, know of any such official appointment by the Dominion govern- ment, but if there are any holding posi- tions like shrievalties, &c.'who are .so paid, then let them be elected too. The trouble with the Ontario government is that it has been trio grasping in the mat- ter of patronage. The Reform machine composed largely of unprincipled adven- turer e and needy heelers, forgetting the very reasons for the being of a Reform party in Canada, has taken from town- ship and county councils a great deal of patronage which was originally placed in their hands with the expectation that in course of time it would be transferred on to the people. This centralizing of power has lea to a revulsion of feeling and has brought the Patrons into exis- tence. If there is any wriggling in this statement our readers will, no doubt, de- tect it as readily as the Expositor. But the Expositor appears to us to be wrig- gling. While admitting that Dominion employees are paid by salary by the government it asks;:whether in innocence or stupidity we cannot say : "Where "does the money come from that pays these Dominion officials ? Do the members of the government pay it out of their official salaries, or do they collect it from the people." Ye gods and little fishes • What a question ! Here have we said many Eines over that the money all governments disburse comes from the people, but thst when any governing authority is by the con. stitution responsible to the people for the proper expenditure of such moue y as it collects, it should be permitted to cheese the officials who shall spendit. This would leaye the Mowat government a great deal of patronage just as it leaves much to the Dominion government. It appears useless to labor at this point much longer. • Perhaps the Expositor will some -day be intelligent enough to see or honest enough to acknowledge that there is a difference between.custom house officers and postmasters who gat their salaries by cheque from the govern- ment and those who get paid by fees ranging from. 5 cents to 5 -which the government never sees.

In this letter ib is not, however, my in- tention to bring forward anythiee on this subject, but on the other hand, it is my wish to point out the great desirabil- ity of adding, to %he existing system of ordinary steam railways whieli might be carried out in the County of idearon and surrounding counties. The Province of • Ontario has now fairly established her claim as a great Agricultural Region. She only requires further development. A market for all she can produce will al- ways be found, with greater and cheener hoill'ies for transport. It is clear that increased production would prove highly profitable, and this can only be secured by the building of railways. At preeent. unfor tunately, railway exteoeion in the province is at a standstill, and it is lilo ly to be for =ay years to come,under ex- isting conditions, because the two great railway corporations, viz, the G. T, R. and the C. P. R ,(who own almost every mile of railway in the province and have possession of all the outlets' ofd trade,) are not in a position to construot any more branches owing to what it is hoped may only be temporary financial difficult- ies. Though, however, these may be lessened, it cannot be expected that these companies will give anyimmediate attention to the matter. Greater questions due to the continental dietances their lines covemmust necessar- ily demand theutilization of all their available capital and resources. This being the case, are the people, and especially the agricultural class to wait for years until these Corporations may see fit to build 1110re lines of railway? It will be very foolish for them to clo so. In this province the engineering difficult- ies are almost nothing, and a mile of railway can now be built for a fraction of what it,icorit to do so a few decades, or even years ago,provided economy and care are exercised in doing so. Moreover,there is plenty of capital both in this country and in Great Britain to be obtained,for which a return of three or four per cent inter- est would be gladly accepted on good security. If the inoreafe in, the value of • property in the development of the country generally, and in the profits of trade and transportation to be looked for by the exteneton of the railway system is likely to exceed, as it must be sure to do, in money value the rate of interest named, then financial soundness is assur- ed. Investors receive their interest and the people gain in the enjoyment of greater facilities, employment and .en- hanced value of their property, and ex- tension of their business, with conseq- uent, greater profits. Then why rest contented with existing conditions, when, it only requires word, as it were, to covert sooner or laler, the whele of the rich andefertile province with a complete , network of railways, without which, it may be assumed, the advancement of the country will be small, if anything, for years to come? There are two facts, or principles rather, which are specially favorable to the following proposition, viz : for the .municipalities to provide the necessary amounts for the construct- ion of these branch lines, by the agency of separate companies, or by the great railway companies to which these lines will become valuable feeders. The two principles are (1) the thorough nature of the security which municipalities can furnish, and (2)by placing a great part of the liability to be incurred on the Shoulders of posterity which will rea p the benefit of the scheme as well as the present geneeation. To do this, it is only necessary to create debentures re- deemable in 100 years. it may be said that municipal action and local compan- ies have already been tried and have failed or had not giyen satisfaction. But this has been due largely, if not alto- gether, to unbusiness -like proceedure. There was too much bonusing with. • out securing a quid prop° by which the;railvvay companies got large grants of money, for which they gave nothing, and moreover turned their backs on, the grantees, and neglected their inter- ests While local capital was raisedto an insufficient amount, the "companies" getting- thereby, into difficulties, and being forced to abandon their enterprise or to sell out at a, sacrifice to the large Trunk Railway corporations. All this may be avoided, and now -a -days from the greater development of the country these branch lines are more likely to bring an immediate and fair ret.urn on their cost. I will now leave this part of the subject which can.be elaborated into a pradicablereoheme by financialexperts, while I proceed to sketch out in a gen- eral way, the lilies along which such branch :railways may be built in the County of Buren with extensions through neighboring counties to the great centres of population. The reader should have a map before him for his better understanding. In this matter it will be seen that Exeter is especially interested, because it is the 'centre of tho south part of the "county, and pos- sessing only one branch railway running south to aOrnarket (London,) but cut off from the ertit, though this might be Obyieted,„tn a great ' extent, 'by sidinga et- Liman trossipg.. Were Exeter to become a railway 'centre, as it wbuld if these lines are built, the development • of the rich agricultural country round it would soen build it up to the site of a large town, if not a city'. There is elso water power enough in the Sa,uble river to generate electricity to the extent necessary •to furnish motive force to numerous manufactories. Pint then, taking Exeter as a centre, a line should be built direct to ' Seaforth, by Chisel - horst through Vsberrie and Tuckeismith endexte edednortUrlythrough McKillop, Grey and Howl& 'to Brussels, Wroxeter and Barristers. Second, a line south to Ailea Craig and Strathroy to be extend. ed through Lampton and Kent, vie ,Alvinston to Chatham and possibly to 'Leamington, in Elex, Third, the most important, as 'nee- t Wet to Alto eat, 'it line through igoirvio and Blanehard to St. Merle :•• in her eextension to Strate ford; if - n o of Mre,for certain reasons idinazd •grippe, 11 and another extension to Woodstoolt. Fourth, in the opposite direetion, a line through lIay and Stanley, via Zurielt, to Bayfield, with an extension to Goder- ich. Fifth, short bran* from Clinton to Layfield. Sixth, a line from. Exeter, theough. Stephen, west to Grand Bend, ad eoutherly to Thedferd. It might be found necessary to have a more direct, as well as au independent ''' line from Exeter to London, vie Lacan, (already proposed) which would make, with the Bayfield line,a very direct route between G-oclerich and London. In the north of the ementy a line between Wingham, with a branch at Port Albert has been long proposed. Thite with a oross line, west from Brussels through Blyth to Goderich would make a very complete and nob at all too expensive a railroad system for the county, and might be all built in the next 10 or 20 years. The total (approximately) mileage nf all these lines -within the county --exclusive of the Wingham and Goderich line and Port Albert branch, would be 150 miles. Taking 810,000 per mile as a very liberal estimate the total cost would be one and a half million dollar. The yearly inter - alt 4 per cent on one one -hundredths of thie $15,000 would be $600, which would be the amount less payable every year together with the annual repayment of principal. It is left to the intelligent business men of the County to °onside' whether the cost thus outlined would be covered by the direct profits in the working of the lines, and the indirect gains from development of trade and enhanced value of property.

Resolved, That there be an enactment to render it alviolation of the indepeedence of Perliament to accept a pass from any railway, steamboat or other transportation company. Resolved, That the payment of any auto for Lieutenant -Governor's clerk hire or 'fervent& fees by the Ontario Government or for the furnishing of a free residence or enppliee of anykind to that -ducal be,here. a fter prohibited by legislation. Resolved, That beyond the salary at- tached to any office there should be no allowance or any gratuity to any employe of the Government for living expenses or for any other purpose. tUe-e:..72 -eve Resolved, That while we approve of the principles of the permit by fees, the amount retained lavofficials should be fixed at a fair remuneration for the eerriges rendered, and that the balance of fees be paid into the treasury of the municipality and treated as general revenue'. Resolved, That a bill should be passed in accordance =with plank No. 7 of the Patrons' plattorm; that the existing sys- tem of inspection of county officers be continued; that office be held during efficiency and good behavior; and that where incompetency of irregularities exist in any office the inspector 611011 lay his complaint before a non-partisan tribunal to be specified in the Act. Resolved, That clause 16 of the Medical Act be repealed and that the certificate of any physician regularly authorized by the faculty of a duly chartered college to practice medicine, be abrogated, and that all chargee of fraud or wrong -doing made against any medical man shall be tried by the ordinary courts on the same principles and under the same procedures aa applies 20 diming acts oomraitted by others. Also, That enactments conferring special privileges upon the legal fraternity be repealed. The following resolution was passed by a standing vote of all the members: - Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to vote and act unitedly on all questions de - cleared by the majority of the Patron members to be Patron questions; and we hereby declare our determination to resist all attempts at coalition or affiliatiou with either of the existing political parties.
