It is specially provided for in the British North American Act. It must reside somewhere. If it did not reside at Ottawa, it would reside in England. We deem it better that it does reside primarily with our own Ministers, who are responsible to the people." The above is the opinion of the chief organ of the Conservative party of this Province. It will be seen that the principle of vesting unlimited veto power in the hands of the Dominion Government is here advocated. ,If this is to be the platform of the Conservative party, the issue between that party, and their opponents will be very clearly de- fined. It is not true that the veto power is an essential part of such a constitu- tion as ours, except in a very limited degree, and neither is it true that un- limited veto power is given by the Brit- ishNorthAraerioan Act. We know that Act is so interpreted by some, but the very sense of it shows that such an interpretation is a straining of the wordsofor the Act very distinctle imt plies that in certain spheres the Local Legislatures shall have exclusive juris- diction.' If this is the case, it cannot possibly be that it was intended that in these spheres the veto power could be brought to bear. It was never in- tended that such power should be exercised except in cases where the Local Legislattires stepped out of their legitimate spheres, and passed legisla- tion that would -interfere with the rights and privileges of other sections of the Donainion. That such legislation shbuld be vetoed is only right, and no person would complain of such an exercise of power. But it is not right, and no per- son can show it to be so, that legisla-d tion passed by the Local Legislatures; and which is admittedly within their legal and legitimate sphereeshould be disallowed simply because it does not meet with the approval of the thirteen men who compose the Federal Govern- ment. Our contemporary would see this if it were not blinded by prejudice. We do not agree with the proposi- tion either that it is better the veto power should rest with our own minis- ters than in England. It is also fallacious and misleading to say that "our own ministers" are, in this -sense, responsible to the people. If it is neces- sary to have a veto power, it should be in the hands of independent and disin- terested persons. The Federal ministers are neither independent nor disinterest- ed. They are entirely partizan ,and if they can embarrass their political opponents by exercising the power placed in their hands they would be almost more than human if they did not use it. In so. far as Ontario is concerned the power has been repeatedly used with this object in view. If, however, it was placed in the hands of the Imperial authorities they would have no object in abusing the power, and it would be exercised legiti- mately. And so far as responsibility is concerned the one is just as responsible as the other. Both are alike indepen- dent of the people. The Federal Gov- ernment are not in reality any more directly responsible or amenable to the people of any one particular Province than are the• members of the Imperial Government, while the latter hare no motive to act partially or improperly, and the former have the very strongest possible motives to do so at all times when the local administration happens to be opposed to them politically. The requirements therefore are: 1st, the veto power should be so defined and limited as to apply to such subjects only as do not legally come within the sphere of the Local Legislatures, and 2nd, it should be exercised only' by disinterested and impartial parties. Until these changes are made in the British North American Act, the Provinces can never be sure of justice and fair play from the Federal Government, and the people of Ontario should not rest satisfied a mo- ment until they procure these changes. alemeneenelmemeem Tere Junior Conservative Club of Montreal are making arrangements to entertain Sir John Macdonald at a Grand National Banquet, as it is called, on the occasion of his fortieth anniver- eery of entering public life. It is intended that there will be a grand out- door demonstration in the afternoon and a banquet in the evening. The Conservatives of the Province of Quebec have good cause t honor Sir John, as he has been good i deed to them. Had he been half as fat ful to his own Province of Ontario as e has been to 'Quebec it 'would perhaPs have been better for both Provinces. IN111111•11116, Soma' of the super -loyal orgars f the. Conservative persuasion. seemj o be dreadfully exercised over inert& la utter- ances by Mr. G. W. Ross, Mi i ter of Education, in a recent speech el vered before the Young Men's Libe a AMC/ - elation at Toronto. It seems ht Mr. Ross urged the right of every c ti en to express his opinions freely o nblic -questions as he might deem roper. He said that because a ma hould advocate independence, or eve honld he exercise his right as a fre itizen and express a preference for an • ation, he should not be stiteatized a isloyt al. These very reasonable and mon sense statements have given th tmost umbrage to some who are a w ys on the lookout for a grievance aga n t On- tario Ministers and rarely find , and they denounce Mr. Ross .ag fad • o his oath as a Minister of the Cro n. He will, however, no doubt survi e these attacks, as he has done previois ones.. We are very mu h of Mr, Ross' opinion. While we are a nmeh opposedto either independence or annexation as the most loud -mouthed loyalist Can be e can conceive of no good reason why these subjects should be tabooed. h y are ones on which a great deal call e said on both sides, and the intellide t and cool discussion of them can possi ly do no harm, but will almost oert ly do good. It is all very well to be lo, al to Britain and British institntioo , sut it is much better for a true Caned al to be loyal to Canada first; and if ant, erson 'honestly believes his country °aid be benefitted by any such 'constit tional changes there is no disgrace in his freely expressing his views, and if thoe views will not bear the ordeal of oriticis , the expression of them will do no hat . If it can be shown that either anne atiou or independence would benefit IJ nada, then the Canadian people wlo Id 'be foolish indeed to continue in theie pres- ent condition. If this cannot be sown, the cause.of British connectiob ould be greatly' strengthened by hairing the subjects thoroughly ventilated n ublic view. It isnot only cowardly, ut it is contemptibly narrow-minded a d •igot ed to attempt to choke off disc as on of such subjects by the cry Of di 1 valty. Those who do so are themse vs the least loyal, as they must feel in their heerts the weakness of their ca s else they would not fear discussio The more these subjects are. discu s the better, and they will be disc s ed in spite of' the narrow-minded an flied critical carpings of these so -call d oyal- jets. Instead of meriting sensur , here- fore, Mr. Ross is entitled to c esit for his liberal and independent eta e uents, and this is the view which will e teken of them by a large majority of eople of this Province. ii IN this Democratic-conntry, «here Jack is as good as his master if e be- haves himself, and is sometimes even more highly respected, titles d not count for Much. Bat, rtotwith t ding this fact, there seems to bel some amongst us who are mighty anius for them. It seems that Sir John Mac- donald, or at least his friends, a e not satisfied with the handles he h s o his name. The honor of knightho d s be- coming so common that they e re to secure for him additional impe ia pre- ferment. Of course, we sap o:� no person will object to this, espeeJly as it will not cost anythittg. If the re is anything in such distinctions, SiriJohn has no doubt earned. somethin ad- ditional to that which he now thijoys. He has now been in public lite,.- ti the service of his country, for OVeriforty years, and for the greater part ofl that time he has atuPied the positidn of an adviser of the crown and fora ver con- siderable period he has been the leader of the Government of the countrYt and although we are among those who be- lieve the country would be Vastly etter Off to -day had he never eraerg d :from private life, yet a majority of hs Jeoun. trymen. have thought differentl • and for this long period have bonoe& hire with their confidence. I Hence, f any person deserves honors and disdin dons of this kind Sir John certain y does. But, the promiscuous manner ih *hich these titles have recently bee flung around is calculated not 'only to inipress one with the belief that they iia• not very highly valued by those whe enter them, but is equally calculated to in- spire sensible people with con tem t for them, and to lead one to. beliefre that they are given as rewards for imb cility instead of ability and stateenka ship. Why, even Senator ManpherL has been honored (?) by being,pernii ed to tack " Sir" to the first of hi fl ame. What in the world he has ever td ne to merit imperial preferment on d stino- tion, is something that is likely; f rover to remain one of the unsolveld mys- teries. It is true that he is pr dited with the paternity of one of tlee meet villainously lying productions that ever appeared in print, and if it is 'in recog- nition of this sort of service thet ime pedal titles are bestowed then lelearly .

The Harvest Home and Scott Act picnic which came off in Kerr's grove, McKillop, on riday last; had the effect of drawing to ether & large crowd of i people, principally farme s, who seemed to enjoy a days recreati n after a sea- son's hard labor in sitvi g a bountiful' harvest. The day openedfine, but in the afternoon the Sky beoam -overcast with clouds and between three and four o'clock a igentle rain, began to fall, which brought', the procttedings to a close rather abruptly. Altho egh rain was badly needed no one seemed to wish for it just then. At noon between five and six hundred people sat down to as riph a repast as was ever set before a picaio party. The ladies who toak part in the prepara- tions cannot receive too praise for their enterprise and test in furnishing such excellent edibles, both good and plenty of them. Although so large a crovtd partook' freely of the good, things there was. su cient left for as many more. About two o'clock the audience was called to order te listen to the several speakers who were present to discuss the merits of the all abs rbing topic of the day -the Scott A t. Mr. D. D. Wilson, of Se forth, Pr sident of the Huron Scott! Act Ass .ciation, occu- pied the chair, and at or a suitable musical selectiba from a _choir present, gave an opening addres . He invited anyone prepaeed to spea in opposition to the Scott Act to co e forward and take a seat on the platfo In, but no one appeared to be eiefficient y Anti-Scottto face the array' of talent 'ready op the platform. He said he as sorry that there was no one prese t to represent the Anti -Scott Act party, as he liked a full and free descussioa. Mr. Wilson -then gave an aecount of the progress made towards the submission of the Act in Huron, and stated that he had deposited the petitions with the proper authorities at Ottawa and expected the polling to take place at I an early date, and looked for the peoPle to roll up a good majoritY in favor of the Act. He then Called upon MR. T. 1114:I'M:LEI LIDDY, of the Godericli Signal Mr. MoGilli- ouddy congratuleted th lathes on the sion, and also congratulated the visitors excellent spread prepaied on the very able manner in which they heart was in this great work put them away. He said his whole see the rapid progress made Nei and he was glad to for that) , in the hin the :he lastbteemenp historyefeeraawronrf temperance Cao arAsu. forse et, it oe, afanarda3id60o-and t7ieslhoriti. There had been four attempts to repeat the Act 'after it had been in force but without success. He alluded to the recent contest in Halton as a great victory for the Scott Act party. He contrasted the two parties, and said that decent men were afraidto oppose the Scott Act. He called upon the ladies to do all in their power to assist in this great work of reform. There WftS not a mother, a sieter or a sweetheart, of whom he supposed there were some present, but who had infla. once, and when the ladies set their ii hearts on anythng t was invariably accomplished. He called upon the ' people to roll up such a majority for the Scott Act in Huron as would forever burf the liquor business. ! The chairman, in introducing 14 xplained next speaker, said tat he was a praoti- he plat - the cause. He had debated seve cal farmer, right from their midst, and hf for r Swaseu respectablet pleased one with whom every one pre-Selz:a/ acquainmtne.d J,OvHiNz, form, associated with the te briefly how he came to be on eallsear tut; rMiere. Mbe3fOrietala:SUtiC8mhaie! audience. He AI'MILLAN, E . .. on the f3ubject of prohibit;rY liquor legislation, but always found h meelf on length bob began to think he I was not the liquor side of the ques ion. At doing right in upholding what he knew on further consideration to be ',ruinous traffic, and vowed that he would never debate on that _ side of the question again. He also Raw his error iit treating and being treated, although he had re. ceived naharra to his knowledge, yet his example was a bad one, not only to his own : family,, but to any one who might be influenced by his doings. His experience was that the cup eteals on young men like a thief in the flight. He dealt with the question from a'farmer's s t an dpoi ot , an d. answered the several ob- jections placed before farmers se regards their barley, etc. He said that the few thousand; bushels of barley consumed annually hy the brewers in this country would hate no effecton the price. As far as the farmer was concerned he had no fears of the reault of the Scott Act. It ,did not pay farmers to sell store cattle and • coarse grains. He believed it would be a blessing in dis- guise if a, law was passed prohibiting farmers from gelling ill coaree grain, and cornPell them to feed it to their stock. He hoped that on the polling day ever' one present would :not only vote for the Act bat do all :in their power td bring this much needed I reform to a successfed issue. : Mr. MeMillan beiag an experienced farmer and well posted in everything that coneerns the farmer, his eddress could not help having a telling effect on ohfi,sGaouddeieritich, was the next speaker. He Reeve' . MR. CAMPBELL, I was glad to meet With BO many favorable to the temperance cause. He said the Scott Act was the liveliest question of the day, 'as well as La question of the most irtiportance in point of poli- tical ecOnomy. As the ma ter now stands ;the country spe CIS an- nually isome tweoty seven revenue. of dollars to bring in a of a little over five millions. Deliver- ance from the cursed liquor traffic, he said, was more than could be stimata by figure. Our moral interests are our greatest interests. In all pu lic meet. ings in f elver of the Scott Act he advo- cates a111 look to God for a sistance. How ,different it was with the other side. He said with the Bible in the homes and conscience right, a great good would certainly be accomplished. The liquor traffic, wherever found, was branded With dishonor and shame. In the grocer it was kept behind a pile of boxes, in the bar -room it was kept at the far end of the room and a screen over the doorway. 'Lie asked the people if they were prepared to sanction such a traffic any longer. Whenever liquor goes in, BjelaSe and honor go out, and the man's word is not *what it was before he partook .of the cup. He hoped the people wbuld rise and stamp out the liquor business forever. If license pre- vents on man from selling liquor why not prevent every Man, and let all be on equal footing? The princiele of pro. hibition is sound in point of 1117, equity and morals. Itis right to prevent & man from injuring himself and from injuring others. If a man is caught in the act of committing suicide he will be arrestedeThe law also forbids ganibling, yet men are allowed to throw away their mopey for liquor, and get no value in return. A great cry with the anti - scat Ao:p party is that prohibition don't prohibit.! He thought that the verdict of Maine, in the Thaited States, and Halton, 1n. our own Province of Ontario, satisfacterilv answered that question. He considered these the highest juries in the land. He also ably answered several ether objections, and appealed to the people on behalf of the Scott Act, because bit was right in peint of law, equity ad morality. I MILL SPENCE. of Toronto, Secretary of the Dominion Temperaince Allianoe, followed, but SO the rain •was beginning to fall pretty freely hie address was cut rather short. He saidj that the ScottAotlyheet not what he wanted. He had fought for prohibition and was one 'of those who went to Ottawa to plead !with the Government for a total prohibition law. The Government informed them that they had' no way pf knowinthe feel- ings of the people on such a qu stion,hut they would give them a law_w1 th which to test the people. They oda that they wanted no more humbugging like theDuncanAct,andtheGoverninent peo- , tnised them a law that was pod, vas, the Scott Act. The Govern;ent also pledged themselves to pass a tal pro- hibition law as soon as it wee shown tahvaotra of parjoorihitbyitoio. f 4ihe people were in f He W far beycind the mereScotta!kokt.aingrie wanted no liquor whatever. The vote was one for two kinds of legislation; a vote for the Scott Act was prohibitibn; a vote eontrary Was a vote ,! L3 vote for tor license, and a refusal to vote was a kefusal to answer a Government ques- tion. Take the good part of the license law and pread it wider and on the Scott Act.
