A
moms of Toronto Church goers was
taken on a recent Sabbath by the Tele•
gram and the number foand to be 126,•
000. It is a worthy moord.
SINCE the McKenzie Government went
out of power the public debt of this
Dominion has increased at the rate of
$1,000 an hour. What Canadian elector
wants a oontinuance of this sort of busi-
ness ?
MR. DreinswoN bee outlined his views
on the Manitoba School case, He favors,
so be says, National sohools ; thinks
Manitoba able to settle her own 8013001
affairs ; and stands unpledged. He,
however, is running aa a supporter of Sir
Charles Tupper who is pledged to push
the Remedial Bill through if elected on
June 28rd. The position is somewhat
unique if nothing more.
Joncr political meetings will nob beheld
in East Huron as Mr. Dickinson declines
to accept Dr, McDonald's offer. The
former opened the campaign at Balmore
on Tuesday evening. He was assisted by
Dr. Chisholm, of Wingham. W. H. Kerr,
of TEE Pos;, represented Dr. MoDoeald.
The Dr. commenced his series at Blue -
vale on Monday evening. T. Gibson, M.
P. P., and Editor Brown, of Wingham,
also spoke.
A CONVENTION for choosing a candidate
in the Reform interests for South Huron,
was held at Brimfield Wednesday. There
was a very Large turn out, every polling
seb•division being fully represented.
There were two names before the eon.
vention—Jobn McMillan, the late mem-
ber, and Geo. McEwen, of Hensel'. Mr.
McMillan received a substantial majority
in the first ballot, and bis nomination
was then made unanimous by a standing
vote. Speeches were delivered by Mr.
McMillan, Jnr. McEwen, Mr. McLean,
M. P. P., Robert Holmes, Clinton, and
Bernard O'Oonoel, McKillop.
Tim "witticism" in the Herald about
the deoline in population is a cheap way of
dodging the question. What applies to
East Huron is egnally true of a great
many Ridings, not only in Ontario, but
in every Province in the Dominion.
Look up the last census and see how the
great N. P., immigration boom has pan-
ned out. A drop of 2,762 in East Huron ;
1,000 in East Brace ; West Brine, 8,-
500 &c. It wasn't the Liberals who took
the census either so that every advantage
was taken to swell the figares, The N.
P. as an aid to increasing the population
of Canada is a dead failure.
EVERY man is supposed to know more
about his own business than an outsider,
and when the Dominion Government at-
tempts to be the mouthpiece of the
manufacturers of this Dominion as to
their fearfulness if the high protective
walls were lowered, it is "talking through
it's hat." There are manufacturers who
always Ory when anything is said on this
subject, their "recommend" was issued
recently from Toronto, in which they
thank the Government for helping them
to line their prockets at the expense of
the farmer and working man. Here is
a list of well-known manufacturers in
this country who stand on the Liberal plat-
form and only ask a fair field and no
favor in competition with the world :•—
Jac, Forbes, Halifax ; Mr. Frost, Smith's
Palle ; ilir, Hutchinson, Ottawa ; Mr.
Patterson, Mr. Waterous, Mr. Go uld, Mr.
Fullerton 111r. Shultz, Mr. Yeigb, Mr.
Wisner, Mr, Cockshutt and hundreds of
others. These men aro working in their
own interests, of course, in their respect-
ive lines of business and consequently
must know what they are talking abort,
and their opinion should carry weight, as
it does. �—
PC -1TiOAL.
There will be a national house aleaning
this year at Ottawa, and the new Liberal
broom will sweep clean.
It is remarkable how many of the On-
tario Oonservative candidates seek elec-
tion by partially repudiating the usurp-
ing new lender,
Tisdale, Taillon and other boys who
have consented to play in rl'upper's baok
yard, will find themselves over the fence
and out next month.
oThat Mr. Laurier hes greatly

N. F. Davin, OOneervabive candidate
for West Aesiniboia, has oome out against
the Dominion Gevernmenb'e palmy on
the school queabion. In an address to
the Motors, Mr. Davin says if he is re'
turned he will oppose at every stage May
hill interfering whit Provincial rights in
Manitoba.
With the duty on raw material higher

it ie hard to understand how the tariff

see how ib injures hie ouslomers. That
is what the manufacturer and his 0uu•

Stormont and Cornwall Conservative As.
soOiation, has Addressed it letter to the
prose, in whish be expresses his disgust
at the nation of the Government at the
lseb eession and adds that be is now in
full sympathy with the Liberal party,
Alex. McKay, ex -M. P. for Hamilton,
received hie commission on Tuesday as
an inepector of Customs for Ontario,
Mr. Davis, ex -M. P. for Alberta, also- re
waived his ooinmisseon as 0uatome 001-
lector in the Yukon district. All the late
remedialists in Ontario are taking to the
woods or to offices.
The Conservative Government pro.
posed the Royal Commission to discover
a policy for them on prohibition. A year
has elapsed since the Commission sub-
mitted majority and minority reports,
and now Sir Charles manifests his con-
tempt for the whole question by ignoring
it. His manifesto contains no mention
of the subject.
The Belleville Daily Ontario, referring
to the conditions in Hastings, hitherto a
strong Oonservative county, Says :—
"That an out.and-out Tupper candidate
would be buried out of sight here goes
without saying, The treatment that onr
fellow•oitizen, Sir Mackenzie Rowell, has
received from the "nest of traitors" is re-
sented in Hastings."
What this country most needs today
is prudent, careful, eaonomioal admin-
istration. If we license Sir Charles Tup-
per r to spend and squander hand over fist
e
1 4
we meet sooner or latae excite suspicion
and create uneasiness in the money mar-
kets. It would be like a deliberate invi-
tation to trouble to put this extravagant,
reckless old plunger, in charge of our
affairs.
Minister Ives hopes the Government
will have a majority of live in Ontario as
a result of the elections. The Ontario
Conservative majority in the late hones
was twentytbree. Admitting a lose of
eighteen seats in one Province is oertain-
ly not likely to make the followers hope -
fol. The loss will be muah greater, how•
ever. The Ontario majority will be ab
least twenty-five on the other side,
The Hamilton Herald, which at last
general election supported the Conserva-
tive party, now says of she Tupper let-
ter :—"Sir Charles Tupper might have
saved himself a lot of mental worry if
instead of bothering with a three ,column
maifesto he bad simply declared :—"It
is my desire to hang onto office and an.
nex all the fat jobs in sight to The
Family."
There are five members in the Tupper
law firm at Halifax. Four of his part-
ners have already managed to get nomi-
nations for the Dominion Parliament.
Surely the remaining solitary will have
a seat found for him. When over one-
fourth of the members of the Govern.
went are Tupper's kith and kin, no
scruple should influence them to give
the law firm a strong bold on public of.
flee also.
A statistioian has figured out that in
1874, when Sir David MacPherson was
issuing his blue ruin pamphlets, and the
total expense of Government was 328,•
500,000, less than 20,000,000 bushels of
wheat paid the whole bill. In 1805.6,
with an expenditure of $88,000,000, it
would take over 60,000,000 bushels of
wheat (more than the entire yield in the
Dominion,) to pay the running expenses
of Government. Ib is about time we
commenced to retrench. Keeping up the
combines, the Toppers and the tax•eaters
generally is too beavp a business for the
taxpayers. They can't stand it much
longer.
In 1878 Sir Charles Topper character-
ized an increase in the public debt, in-
curred to deepen the Welland Canal, as
"this great calamity, this great disaster,"
At that time taxation was low, and the
annual expenditure was under 824,000,-
000. Now the taxes of the people have
been greatly increased, the debt bas been
added to since the mon now in power took
hold by over $100,000,000, and the annual
expenditure is over 338,000,000. In face
of all this, and of his former declaration
that it was a "great calamity," a "great
disaster" to even inorease the debt 33,-
000,000 for needed improvements in the
ooumtry's waterways, he asserts that if
returned he will run the taxpayers still
further into debt to the tune of many
millions of dollars. Several millions for
the Hudson Bay Railway and one million
for Red River improvements have been
promised by Tupper to try to carry Win•
nipeg, and the people of Port Arthur
have been promised a railway into the
Rainy River distriot. This is only the
beginning of his reckless plunging.
