We direct attention to an ably written• 1 tter in another column animadver i • g pretty severely upon the m,anag ent of Upper Canada College. W e ave seen hints pointing'in a sirnil = r d+rectian at different times, but nev:r efore has the bull been gripped : o 11 rmly by the horns as by our correspo a' dent. There. is no doubt, but this s o to of the institutions in receipt ;f bile money which requires to be mo ;e P e osely looked after. The writer of th s 1 tter is a gentleman of the mo.t t orough reliability, and what is f ual.importance he knows of what e ites. As he states, this College is i• rr cept of a • very Iarge sum of publ c oney annually, and the public who contribute to its support should be'p ,,t it possession of the fullest. inforraatio • respecting its working and usefulnes e can not afford in this Province o s • pport any fancy, but worthless, pit colleges, mainly for th.e benefit of, .,r r that; to gratify th.e prurient whims Of a few cod fish aristocrats who ma consider that their dear children wi 1 defiled by rubbing . against those f o her people equally as good and pe. b = ps better, although less pretentio s d s toney." It will be remembere t at this college got slight rubbing u • d + ring the late session of the Legislator hen the Educational Grants wer scuseed. The Minister of Educatio t. en proposed to expend a considerabl' sung in the erection of new boardin houses in connection with .the college b t the feeling against the scherrie was s s ang among members that lae wa! f iced to withdraw his proposition. W ar somewhat surprised that a wel meaning man like Mr. Crooks would attempt to bolster up an institu.tion o th'is character.. However, be that as i may, it behoves the members to hat . thio matter thoroughly ventilated befor another session passes over. Let ful re u-rns as to the work which is bein d ne, and the manner in which th institution is being conducted, as wel asF the emoluments of its officials b 1 •d before Parliament and the public a d then there will be an opportunit of ascertaining its value, and if, as w a ticipate, it is . found not to be .wort t e money it. costs, withold further p bio aid from it, and distribute it sh re among the other . more usefu schools. Some of our Huron member ve uld do their Country good service by t ing this matter in hand at the nex I se sion. • Bound. to be Equal. he _Nail is nothing if not enterpris- ing. It tries hardto keep'up sides with its big rival and opponent. In som th age it succeeds, and in others it doe no . On the whole, however, it does ve well. A few days ago the Globe ha a manufacturer whose conscience w s. sorely troubled ,because the Nation- al Policy had placed more wealth at hi disposal than he knows what to do with, Not to be out -done by its rival, the hail conjures up an imaginary far- mer,and makes him speak through its ediitorial columns in favor of the Nation - &i Policy, and against the Globe and the co science -stricken manufacturer. This is all right so: far, and the enterprise th, is displayed, although it did not draw fo th a. very heavy effort, will, no doubt, be duly appreciated by the .Mail's read- er especially those of them who read ev rything thy can find favorable t th National Policy, and skip over ev y- th ng on the other side. We do pot m au to say, or even insinuate, that the .11f it has any such readers, but if it has, theiimaginary farmer's utterances will, no doubt, be swallowed bolus bolus by th m. This, however, is a matter which zn inly concerns them, not us. We w uld not refer to the Mail'$ imaginary farmer at all,but for the fact that it tries .to make hini convey a very false and erroneous impression. For in stance, this farmer is made to say Well, then, this man, who is a fax m r, says that,: as far as he can mak ou heavy deficiency had rendered ad , di Tonal taxation necessary ; and there fo he does not blame the present Gov e meat for imposing new burdens, par- tici arty as the deficits occurredunder th previous administration. Is that nrz:4air to the Reform party? Then ag�tton, of the two methods of raising by levying import duties in such a way indre revenue, viz.:: direct taxation, or as to protect the home manufacturer, he prefers the latter as being at once les offensive "and more statesmanlike th n the former. Anything wrong about th`s?" his is a new story.
