Responsible Government Cover-
ing Tyranny.
From the date of the American
Revoluaiori up to the time of the
Upper aud Lower Canadians re-
bellion of 1837-39 those Canadians
who -were styled U. E. Loyalists
played a very conspicuous part in
the government of Canada. They
had at diffetent times left their
homes iv the United States and
came to Canada because they pre-
ferred living under the British
Crown, to hying under that Re-
publican Government which owed
its existence to a war with the
motherland. Having made these
personal sacrifices, largely, if not
always, from sentimental consider-
ations, these U. E. L's considered
themselves entitled to something of
a supremacy in makers of Govern-
ment over those who came to
Canada as to any new country for
the mere gross purpose of improv-
ing their condition in' life regard.
less of governments or flags. Hay-
inebdemonstrated their loyalty to
• the crown, the administration of
the affairs of. the Canadian colony
was by the crown, out of gratitude
practically placed in their hands.
The power thus given them they
misused, as the -very best of men
invariably do under like circum-
stances. They grew into an
garchy. They made a distinct
class of themselves, in feeble uni
tation of the aristocracy of the
mother country, so that in time
there came to be an almost im-
passible social and politicat gulf
between them and their seri-like
supporters on the one side and the
plain every day masses of people
on the other. The abuses that
followed, made possible by the
fact that the government was
practically in their hands,the home
authorities regarding them as
"the people," became - in the
end so outrageous that the more
impatient element of the populat-
ion sprang to arms under Mac-
kenzie in Upper Canada and Papi-
neau in Lower Canada. Papineau
himself, however, being an aristo-
crat who liked not the aristoorat's
-ways, and objected in particular
to the powers the R. C. Church
was given in Lower Canada oyer
the people-ePowers which many
of them hoped would have been
destroyed instead of being added
to, as they were, by the British
Government when it took Canada
from old Catholic France in 1759,
and subsequently.
The rebellion opened the eyes
of the British Government to the
necessity of making such changes
in the Government of Canada as
would give the people no further
excuse for rebelling. Hitherto the
administration had been appointed
by the English authorities, and of
course the Canadian people had
no control over them. In fact
it was almost impossible to get
their grievances through the 13. E.
L. cordon to the throne. It was
now decided to make it a govern.
men t of the people, by the people
and for the people. In a word
what ie called "Responsible
Gave rnmeri t" was then established.
By that change it was intended to
malts the government, or the crown
officers, responsible to a Canadian
Parliament elected by the Cana-
dian people, instead of to the Brit-
ish Government, who were too far
away to understand 0a.nadiaa in-
ternal affairs. In 1841 therefore
• this so-called “responsible" system
-was engrafted on our constitution.
England practically surrendered
all control of Canadian affairs a.nci
• all right to interference in our
government wheu she gave us that
•system discarding responsibility
herself and throwing it upon • the
Canadian people. To the Reform
ars of that time is undoubtedly due
• the credit for securing the:change;
• and the Reformers of to -day °tie
• avotild naturally regard •as the
proper parties to guard these
privileges from the encre.aelitneats
of men anxious to destroy them in
•order that they inight themselves
usurp suprerrie aid tyrannical
authority.
• But we do tot find the Referm
party in lbegreat an pregtetsive
Province of Mated° trtie to the
• d treat repoaed fit theft by
TUE•B
their forefatherwho were readY
to fight end die in order that the
people and not the seleet few who
steed pear the crown •ebseald
govern the corny in the iotereste
of themSelves aod, upholder. Sir
Oliver _Mowat, who, by way of
traveety„probably, has been called
"Ontario's grand, red meta" has
been slowly destroying, or tramp-
ling under foot the system of Re-
sponeible Government. He has
pot attaoked it openly in the face
of day as a declared enemy, but
he has done the work muchmore
effectually by professing to be -its
guardian and friend. He was not
watched as he should have been by
the Reformers of the Province.
The rank and file of that party,
that is, the men who go to the
polls and vote for candidateS who,
though label themselves Reformers
are sometimes the most extreme
Tories, may wish to have reforms
made and to keep the power of
the government in check, but they
have allowed themselves to be-
come mere cyphers, and, because
they have too blindly trusted their
leaders, have little or no influence
in the counsels of their party, or
rather upon those active men of
the party, adventurers, many of
them, who, by working together,
make what is known as the grit
machine. The ordinary voter has
not been an office -seeker, and it
makes no difference to him which
party is in power, save as he bene-
fits with the balance of the com-
munity from good government or
suffers as they do from bad govern-
ment. But it does make a differ-
ence to the machine men of the
party. They are all looking tor
something, some for offices, and
others for different favors. These
offices and favors constitute the
patronage of the government. The
more patronage the government
• possesses the stronger will be its
hold upon the people, and the
more difficult will it become so
that patronage extends to turn
them out, no matter how opposed
to the public good their legislation
may be. Patronage in the hands
of a good and strong man, suffic-
iently anxious for the public wel-
fare to determine to pass good
legislation whether his machine
followers like or dislike it, is all
right, but it is all wrong and a
curse to a country, and death to
good principles of government,
when in the hands of a weak rnan
whose will is dominated by selfish
and unscrupulous men utterly re-
gardless ot the welfare of the
people. in the case ot Grover
Cleveland it was all right. He
was elected on a free trade plat-
form, but he could never have
forced the reduCtions in the tariff
had he not compelled Democratic
members of both Houses of Con-
gress to come to his views and
the views of the rank' and file of
the party by withdrawing or
threateniag to withdraw the power
of appointment to office and other
patronage which they, as the Pre-
sidevt's supporters. possessed in
their respective Districts and
States. But there cein be, and
there is, abuse of patronage. And
in its most gross abuse lies Mr.
Mowat's power over his followers
and their strength, in turn, with
the legion of office seekers in the
constituencies. He uses his stolen
patronage and his control of his
parliamentary following, not to
force good legislation upon teluct-
ant followers, but to pass sectarian
legislation as demanded by the R.
C. hierarchy in return for the solid
vote and for the ignoble purpose
of gathering an immense following,
held together by the cohesive
power of public plunder, all work-
ing together to keep him in office
and themselves elected to Parlia-
ment in order that they, the well -
drilled machine element may
possess the spoils. And Reformers
stand all this, and many glory in
it, though under the system,
government costs us now four
millions a year, whereas under
Sa.ndfield Macdonald it cost less
than two millions.
The opposition in the House
has been constantly growing weak.
er since Mr. Meredith was made
its leader. This is not because
IVIr. Meredith is ifot a good and
progressive man, for everybody
knows that he is without a peer
among the public men of the
Province. His constant weaken-
ing is due to the fact that Mr.
Mowat and the machine element
of the Reform party have gradually
increased their hold upon that
portioti of the electorate which is
always looking after government
favors. They have bought and
increased their following with pub-
lic patronage, Among the many
methods of extending his power,
Mr. Mowat deprived the county
judges of the [power of appointing
division court clerks, and took it
himself, instead of passieg it on to
the people, as a true Reformer
would have done where the official
le paid by the •people's tees, and
not by the government. Is it bot
clear to the meanest intelleet that
by se doing he increased his own
power over the people, for who
knows hew Many dozen a of men
have their eyes upon eaeh ot such
offioes ? This is but a epeonnen
briok, There are over 1700 fee
paici ffi IS in tb p
sbouid be elected by the people
, -
especially when the people possess
the iutelligeuce and morality and
good judgment thet Catietcliatis do.
lt is not or.ly the power that these
officiala exert themselyes fti behalf
of a government employing them
that must be eonsidered, but the
knowledge that these offices may
be some day vacant and will be
conferred upon such heelers as
have been the most active in be-
half of the government and the
most ready to applaud their acts,
whether good, indifferent or as
much ot the Mowat legislation has
undoubtedly been, partinularly as
regards separate sohoole, absolute-
ly vicious. This dangling of offices
b efore the [electors has attracted
the eorrupt element of tbe Conser-
vative party leaving us only such
as are devoted to principle, and
many who were once Mr. Mowat's
strongest opponents, haye now
become his most ardent supporters.
The voice of the people has been
silenced by thee methods; and
responsible • governmeut made a
by -word and reproaoh amongetin-
telligeet people, Things are drift-
ing with the aid of reform votes
back to where they -were when
the Reformers of early days should-
ered their rifles on behalf ofliberty.
They have no excuse for doing that
now since the ballot box gives
them ballots instead of bullets with
which to destroy corrupt and in-
capable rulers. If Sir Oliver
Mowat proposes any genuine re-
form at the coming session it will
be because be is conipelled to by
the fact that he can count only
upon 46 votes out of 94 to support
himin his reactionaryean scrupulous
corrupt, extravagant and centraliz-
ing policy. Heretofore he has
bean master of the legislature and
has driven them wrong now. Ifhe
wishes to remaie in office, a mere
placenian, without any policy or
principle to -fight for or mould into
legislation, he will be the legis -
la 1 ure's most obsequious servant.
Such is Ontario's"grand old man."
OTES AND COMMENTS
Canada can rest happy for a time,
The new Sault Ste. Marie canal is
finished. Now Canadians have a water-
way of their own to the head of Lake
Superior. Even now whalebacks bold-
ing 100,000 bushels of wheat could go
from Port Arthur to Liverpool. The
Canadian canals are large enough.
says its commerce is reviving, while in
Canada we hear better reports from all
sides. All circles seem to be confident
that the bad times are going, while
many people believe that the world is
OD the eve of such good times as it
never enjoyed before. And Canada,
now in a much healthier financial state
than any other country on the face of
the earth, will progress as no other c,an.
There is every reason for joy in the
land.

last week at Montreal, directs attentiort
to the danger caused by the pollution of
wells on the farm. This danger is a
very grave one indeed. In many cases
such wells are so, situated that foul
matter either from the stables or closets
-and sometimes from both -must

Accortlinerta recent edvicesi theEnglish
harvest is a most trying one. A cal-
culation shows that the value of wheat
and barley crops in England, Scotland
arid Wales, based on their cendition,
declined no less than $3,750,000 during
the month uf August, and noneof this
can, be recovered, as it was caused by
sprouting of wheat and discoloration of
barley, and bad co/ored barley in Eng-
land, no matter how plump; is of little
value for malting purposes. The

bis money as he bougbt medicines of all
kinds that proved useless and worthless.
Elis experience is of great value to every
sick and suffering man and woman in Can-
ada. He writes thus.—
tilt is with pleasure tfiat I give testi-
mony in favor of your Paine's Celery Com-
pound. In the sprite/ 6f 1892, I had. Loa
attack of La Grippe "Which put into
such a condition than' could not sleep or
eat, I was completely ruts down, tiad
eztreme nervous nroetratron, and lay for
days in a half stupefied state.
' 'After spending all my money for medi-
cine whish did little good, I geve up to die
when one day a paper on Paine's Celery
Compound was brought to me. I at ones
procured the medicine, and derived great
relief from the first bDttle. I slept better,
ate better, and digestion improved. After
using nine bottles I feel like a new man.
1 can truly say that Paineei Celery Com-
pound unacched me from the grave, and
gave me a new leaseof life.
I earnestly . urge all Buffeters to tree
Valise's Celery Compound, feeling snre it
will cure them. Do not spend your mon-
ey for medicines that cannot cute you."
