Home Rule.
The nevapapers have been so: full of the
7 anti�bome rule agitation in Ulster that the
- vision of those who are somewhat far re-
� moved from the scene of action is apt to be
obscured. The situation ' reminds one of
so . me of those exceedingly noisy political
meetings, where one faction seems to do all
the talkinq, but the other seems to do most
of the voting. Therwnow comes a whisper,
. -at leafit it seems a whisper as compared with
the shouts of the other party, which indi.
esteathat after all there may be a few people
. even in Ulster w1io favor Mr. Gladstone's
polin,y. This whisper Is to the effect that
the Presbyterian and Unitarian Ministers in
the�North of Ireland have passed a, resolu-
tion endorsing Home Rule. The announce -
meat occupies only a few lines in the news-
papers as opposed to. a column or so from
'
the other aide, but somehow it has the true
ring about it, while one cannot hel:P think -
i -ng, whether one wants to oK not, that. there
is an unusally large proportion of foam and
froth in the other agitation.

Temperance and Politics - .
There really seems to have been morb
Politics than Prohibition in the recent do-
, bate on Mr. Marter's bill in the Ontario
Legislature. It will be remembered that
this bill proposed to abate the sale by retai I
of alcoholic liquors ia-Ontatrio. This feeling
. 31
in couneu-tio n- with such a subject is to be
ause of Probibitian is
more li'kaly to be r6barded than iidvaucea
by such agitatioiis. It may or may not be
good pOlitiCS on the part of the Opposition,
to have t�iken Dp this matter in the way
. they did; but it is certain to prove a severe
setback, to the cause of temperance, and
, .
this we exceedingly regret. It is, we know, -
claimed by some that it was not. a political
move on the part of the Opp , baitioD. Per.
- , ,
. J .
haps this is so, but ap�eaiiihcf,s' are dread-
fully against any such contention. Every
member of the Opposition voted straight
for Mr. Marter's bill, although many of
a
them are well-known to be, both by precept!
amd example, opposed to any such legisla-
tion. Politics sometimes make strange bed-
fellow@, and some of the names side-by-side
in the division list in favor of Prohibition
looked very funny to those knowing the
habits af their owners. It is a pity when
I
�
. an important subject such as Prohibition is
. made the foot ball of party. Mr. Marter
may have been sincere, but many of hisi sup-
- porters, we are sure, were not, in their sup.

port of a temperance Reform measure,

A Notable Gathering.
- .
,,-' On July 5th� next there will as-
temble, in the largest of our Can-
ndian cities, Montreal, the greatest
COnVeUtiOD) in point Of numbers, that has
ever come together within the borders of our
Dominion, or that is likely to for many a
. year to come-. We refer to the annual Con-
vention of the Young People's Societies of-
. Christian Endeavor of America. Nor is its
si ze the only feature that is likely to render
it notable. ]Rare will be assembled several
. thousands of the brightest and best young
people from the neighboring Republic,many
of whom have never before crossed the bor-
der. They will be from every corner of the
United States, but principally from the
- Eastern and Middle States, and they are
. sure to take back glowing accounts of Can-
ada to our neighbors, Who, after alt is said,
know surpriaiugly little ibout our country.
'.But this berieft would, to 11 Endeavor-
'
errs", seem incidental, andi,we fear, perhaps
a little mercenary. What they look forward
to is the spiritual uplift. 'There will be an-
eembled some twenty-five- or thirty thousand
enthusiastic young people whose aims- are
similar and whose sympathies blend ; there
will he music so inspiring that it would
awake desires for better things in the, hearts
of even hardened - criminals ; there will be
Tinging addresses and thousands upon thou.
sands of hearts will be - freed for the time
being from the harassing cares and worries
of everyday life, which ring the knell of so
many high aspirations and noble purposes,
and become for a little while, at least, truly
noble and unselfish, Perhaps much of the-.
enthusiasm may -be misplaced and many of
. the noble resolvi�s may live but short and
troubled lives, yet, even if this be the came,
,,many souls Nill be uplifted and ennobled by
� baving entertained such high and. unselfish
�
� . aims. Nor will, the benefit be confined to
those who attend the Convention ; its in_
tactics will extend far and wide, for a great
-Manv of the good resolu+;.- .3
- —a e there
. will crystalize into action and .Many lives
�
will be made easier and many burdens light -
or in widely separated � communities, be-
'
cause, one or two from that neighborhood
have attended the great Convention. Older
people may smile at the, youthful enthusiasm
of the " Endeavorers," and shake � their
head& at the many mistakes and slips that
are made, but where there is so much that is
. noble and earnest and unselfish, good cannot
0
but come from it.

After all the backing and patching the

municipalities fitat had an existence in On-.
tario, it is not surprising that a loading
member of the Legislature sbould declare
that'thrre is danger of a complete break-
down of the system, if it can be called a sys-
tem. There are financial difficulties ahead
because the debts are accumulatiti unduly,
and because pt oper checks are nottept upon
the mnnicipalities.� Year by year consolida-
tions are made by fthe Legislature, which are
generally renewals of the civic - mortgages,
and frequently extensions of the debt -con-
.
tractingpowers. This cannotgoon always,
anditbecomenthe duty of legislators to

too Many 'Iremedies" to try to keep the

municipalities and allow them more free .

dom of action, instead of tying them up in

swaddling bands,as tome legislators evideni-
.
ly wish to do, it would be better for the

municipalities. Surely the sensible prop.
erty holders of a municipality know better
what is for the interests of their municipal-
'
ity than the few legislators assembled in the
stately -pile in Queeti's Park, Toronto do,
some of whom are half "cranky" on many
subjects. The solid, level-headed Tren of
the municipalities can manage their own
private business without the paternal inter-
ference of the legislators, and they should,
in like manner, be able to run their respec.
tive municipalities with equal success, and
they Are able to do go. If our legislators

true, and it would be in the interests of the
-public to have an extension of this kind.
*But, in cases where anything of a consider-
able amount is involved,say over $100, there

�should be provision made for appeal. Now
there is no appeal -from the decision' of a
division court' judge. Thiese officials are,
as a rule, careful, honest and competent,but
they are, like the refit of us, hunlan and

,
liable to err, and when they do e'" in judg-

WAY of having the error made right, e"ci-

that will tend to keep down. and discourage

THE 6NTARIO LEGISLATURE.
, I — I
�
(From. Our Own Correspondent.) ,
-
I The large ,place which the temperance
question holds in the popular mind has found
.
sufficient demonstration in the proceediag
of the Legislature this session. The Marter
bill was the centre of a greater amount of
interest than ,bas been manifested in any
other piece of legislation, and the death of
that measure by no means entailed the
funeral of the agitation for the promotion of
tem . perance. The Government had, during
the discussion on the Marter bill, announ.
ced their intenti,)n to take a plebiscite -on
the question of Prohibition, and to show
that this promise was not a mere trick of
debate, Hon. G. W. Rose, on the clay fol-
lowing that on which retail Prohibition was
voted down, introdu,ed a bill providing
'
-
thatiAhe vote of the eiectors throughout the
�
Province should ba polled'at the municip.41
eleefiong in January next on the question :
Z
" Are you in favor of the immediate Pro-
bibition by law of the importation, matiu.
facture a*od sale of intoxicating liquors'as a
beverage?" The Government, Mr. Ross
id,� desired to have the opinion -of the peo.
$9.1
ple fully and freely ,expressed. No one
shout " d vote " nay " irom amy doubt. as to
the authority of the Legislatake to paes
such a law. If the popular verdict was
66 yeal" and the jurisdiction was found to
lie with the Local Legislature, the Govern-
meht would interpret it as a mandate to in-
troduce a prohibitory law, while, if the jur-
isdiction was decided to be with the Domin-
. ion Parliament, such's verdict would be
I
equally a call upon that body to proceed in
the mattpr. The qualification to vote on the
Nestion would be that required of voters
ir Lef islative Assembly elections—wbich is
I
virtua ly a manhood franchise qualification
—and, in addition, women entitled to vote
at municipal elections would be eligible to
cast a ballot on this issue.
�
"The introduction of the plebiscite " a
I
rn�ans of ascertainipg public opinion on a
given subject is worthy of note by stud-
ents of Provincial politics. Although its
entrance is likely to meet with little op.
Oo4itioD, the plebiscite is ,something no.
wn to the British constiffition, on which
�
our own is so closely modelleo, and sticklers
for precedent gravely bheke their heads at
,the adoption of this foreign evice. It hag
long been in use in the Republics of Eur oipe,
L
Switzerland, and France, and is there re-
garded as a valuable part of the machinery
of self -government. It is objected to by
some as a means by which
may seek to evade responsibility for any
proposed course of action, and- by others as
& cumbrous plan, of kocertaining public opin-
ion, which has, they may, jlow sufficient ex.
pression in the election of members of the
Le0slature and Dominio4 Parliament. On -
I tario will not, however,"ibe the first Can.
adian Province to take :"&'plebiscite. : On
this very question of Prohibition, Manitoba
not long s,go bold a po
pular vote, which
was strongly in favor of the -suppression of
the liquor traffic. No results have as yet
followed the vote 14 the Prairie Province,
and there may possibly, be Eome danger lest
the question in the abionce of certainty as
to the Prov ince's jurisdiction may be viewed
as an abstract one, 'and, votes cast other-
wise than in ibe lull conviction that an
affirmative majority would at ouce inaugur.
ate the reign of Pr6hibition. I .
On Thursday, Iton. Mr. Fraser
. I moved a
resolution respecting .the new Parliament
buildings, by Which it appeared that the sum
of $47 * ,876 was required to defray the ex.
pense of purchasing the old hospital grounds
(now ' included!in the site of the new build.
ings) and to pay for the competitive plane,
as well as $15,000 to complete payment on
account of the' construction of the buildings
themselves. The resolution carried, and a
bill founded thereon was read a first tithe.
It would thus seem that Mr. Fraser has
.
managed to keep almost within contract
figures in th I -erection nfi
is
building in the P,Lrk which will form an en.
during monument to his capacity and in.
tegrity. It is somewhat remarkable that
this question of the new Parliament build.
ings, which furnished one of the chief cries
against the Government at the last election
has scarcely 1 been mentioned against the
Goverhment this session,- and no- one has
ventured to hint that any,thing like corrup.
tion or malvereation of funds existed in con.
nection with the whole business.
On Friday,'a number of unopposed private
bills were read a third time. A bill which
was 'denied !a second reading was Mr.
.
Rorke's mesbure to Teduce the number of
county councillors, and a similar fate over.
took the bill i'introduced by Mr. Bishop, of
'
, proposinf to Sub the law re.
I specting townships bur one with undue ex.
pense on the score of bridges back to where
it was before' the most ([recent amendment.
I
The law as it now is provides that townships
so burdened may seek by arbitration to have
a portion of their load shifted to the should.
era of the county at large. Mr. Fraser con.
tended that the amendment, having been so
lately made,,it would be, unwise to repeal it
so soon, and requested Mr. Bishop to with-
draw bid bill ' � This the member for South
Huron declined to do, statiog his determin.
ation to give effect to the wishes of the peo-
ple of his own county, if possible. The bill
was, however, decla;red lost on a division.

assistance to the demand, but it was &M -4u
vain. Even the author of the latest Can-
adian national anthem (set to the tuns of -
Beulah Land) failed to move by his elo-
Auence the obdurate heart of the Premier.
ir Oliver told the. deputation that person-
ally he was in sympathy with tht;ir request,
but he was afraid public opinion had not
kept pace with them on the question, and
until popular sentiment had been educated
up to the point of regarding woman suffrage
with favor, it would be unwise to place a
womea'a saffrage bill on the statute book.
On Monday the advocates of adv o d
'40 O'
legiBlation for married women received an-
other set back. Mr. Meredith's bill, pro- �
viding that trarried women should be placed
in exactly the same position an to property
as thst occupied by their unmar-
- ried sitters came up for a second reading.
The Attorney -General opposed the measure,
and moved -the three months' hoist, on the
ground that it imposed on married women
considerlable disabilities, without conferring
.
upon them may corresponding advantages.
The Premier's view prevailed, the vote
standing in a thin Houeb'22 to 17. Dr. Mc -
Kay's bill providing that municipal councils
Might issue permits allowing cattle to graze
on, roadsides under certain conditions, did
mot moot with a very cordial reception, and
the wofthy doctor withdrew it.
On Tdanday afternoon the Comm6sionor
of Crown Lands'moved the second reading
I of his bill establishing the Algonquin No-
tiOVAl PArk. This is an area of nearly a
million acres in the upland region of the
NipieSiDg district south of the Mattawa
� river, which it is proposed to set aside as a
forest reservation and national Park. The
object is to preserve the. .timber, except the
pine, and so maintain the Important streams
which rise within the limits of the park in'
undiminished flow. Other ends, such as the
formation of a great game preserve, or
. rather breeding ground, a B&DitarillIn or
. health resort, etc., will be served. The
Idea met with the cordial approval of the
Houtte, and the bill took its second reading
without any opposition.

. THE DOMINION CAPITAL.
, (By Our Special Correspondent.)
OWAWA, May 8th, 1893.
The census of Canada is being 'challenged
'
all round for want of accuracy. Everyone
I knows that the returns relating to indus-
trial establishments are a perfect farce, even
i .
the best friends -r-)f the Government are not
slow to admit this in private. On the east
-a charge is m 3.de that the enumeration made
*
of the French Canadians has been fraudu-
. lently taken and on the west a member of
I
the British Columbia Government has come
all the, way to Ottawa to establish his claim
that the population of that Province has
not been fairly 'counted. The number of
French Canadians living in Ontario is found
by the census to be 103,123, which is abou.t
the same as it was ten years ago, so that
the natural increase of that psrt of the pop-
ulation, not to say anything of the addi-
tions by immigratioD, must have been neul-
tralized by the exodus to the United States.
The three counties of Prescott, Russell and
Essex and the city of Ottawa contain near-
ly sixty thousand French Canadians. The
French are actualli in the majority in the
county of Prescott, and they form nearly
one-half the population of Russell.
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
The Ottawa French Canadian newspaper,
called Le Canada, wa � 9 until recently an ex-
ponent of .the Chapleau wing of the Con-
servative party; and although it has now
tined the increasing ranks of the Hon. Mr.
mrier,it is an authority as to what took
place when Mr. 0hapleau was iw the Gov-
ernment and it has been telling some of the
. secrets. It states that during the last gen-
exal election the Catholic Bishops took
al . arm at the pledges giveu by Government
candidates in Ontari(� to vote against the
Government if they restored separate
schools in anitoba, and they resolved to
publish a p�-!
"toral signed by all the Bishops
in Canada urging all the Catholic candidates
to pledge . themselves to vote against the
Government if they did not restore the sep-
arate schools, in Manitoba. Sir John Mac.
donald realizing the danger of the situation
decided that to save his party it was neces-
nary to suppress this pastoral letter, and
Archbishop .rache was approached for this
purpose through Mr. Chapleau. The pas-
toral letter was' suppressed, but in return
the Archbirshop'exacted a promise from Mr.
Chapleau that,some official pledge should be
given as to remedial legislation, and in pur.
suance of this agreement the much discuss-
ed clause in the report of the Minister of
Justice, was inserted, holding out the hope
of remedial legislation ' should the courts
decide against the minority. This in sub.
stantially the tame statement made in Par-
liament last- session by Mr. Tarts, who was
formerly a close ally of Mr. Chapleau's,
Looking at the source of both
staiements it would look as if 'Mr. Chap-
leaO, finding the Government unable to, at
�
onpp fulfil the pledge which they allowed
�birn to give to the Archbishop, is now turn-
ing- round to vindicate his own pohition by
giving away the facts to the public. The
whole thing allows how the .Government
have played ducks and drakes with this im-
portant question from the beginning, and
are now about to continue the game by.re.
ferring the gueltion again to the courts.
A BUBBLE BURSTS.
A couple of months ago the Government
press announced with a great flourish of
tr ' limpets that the Spanisfi Government had
decided to place the -trade between the
Spanish Antilles and Canada on the same
footing as the trade with the United States
, and as the United States hag a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba, the announcement looked
big. The Toronto Empire, however, in now
obliged to announce that the decision of the
Spanish Government only applied to ship.
ments under the S anish treaty with Eug-
land, which expire on the 30th June last.
It consequently affects the present or future
trade between Canada and the Spanish
West InJies,includiug Cubs, as much as the
tariff on wheat affects the price of that
article.
RAL.
The date of the departure of Lord Derby,
the Governor General is still in doubt, but
it is understood that before he leaves he de-
sires to spend another season of fishing for
salmon down below Quebec. ,' He has given
the servants at Rideau Hall notice to quit
which shows that when he leaves for the'
fishilf,,grounds next month he will bid Rid-
eau 11 good-bye for good, Lord Aber-
deen will itobably assume office about the
first of September. Lord Kilcoursie, one
'
of the Aide de Camp of His Excellency, has
gone home to England to be married, carry-
iDg with him the best wishes of sympathiz-
ing friends. I
AFRAID OF MCCARTHY,
Mr. Dalton McCarthy's challenge to the
Government to open Cardwell and make a
test of their strength in that Conservative
constituency has caused a good deal of talk
in Ottawa and has done more to frighten
the Conservatives than anything else, be.
cause, if Mr. McCarthy has such confidence
in his ability to carry a Conservative con-

stituency so faithful to the party as Card-
wel.) him: been, he must be able to work
havoc in other constituencies which go
Conservative by oill a small and doubtful
majority. So keenrly do the Government
appreciate the danger, that they are prepar-
ing to invade Cardwell and try to neutralize
the effect of Mr. McCarthy's recent appear-
ance there. There is no doubt that Mr..
Robert White, the member for Cardwell,'
has the Customs Collectorship of Montreal
in his pocket, and it is only a question of
time and opportunity until Cardwell must
be opened to elect a sucoessor to Mr. White.
If it had: not been for the fear of the Gov-
ernment -Cardwell would have been opened
and closed months ago. Notwithstanding
th:irimajority in P&rliameut of over fifty,
th t midity they display in this connection
shown how weak they really are in the Pro-
vinoe of Ontario. Thete is no sort of doubt
that at the next opportunity Ontario will
declare against the Government by a very
large majority. .
DITURE.
Ten months of the fiscal year have ex-
pired and the revenue for that period was
$30,955,620, an increase of over a milliou
dollars compared with the corresponding
I Ceriod of last year. The expenditure has
on $25,010,929. To this expenditure on
account of consolidated fund.must be added
ieveral millions for�capital account, and
whether the conolusion of the fiscal year
will show a surplus or not it is impossible
at this moment to tell.
THE TARIFF ENQUIRY.
The Minister of Trade and Commerce ban
returned from Toronto, where he and Mr.
Poster have bean trying to probe public
opinion on the tariff question by examinirig
everybody except the public. - This may be
an excellent method of ascertaining pub-
lic opinion according to the desire of the
Government, but it will scarcely suit the
vast mass of tariff reformers in Canada.. It
. a carious to notice, in these interviews be-
ll
tween manufacturers and Ministers, that
while one manufacturer wants the duty re-
taiaed on certain articles which be makes I
another manufacturer wants the duty abol-
ished on the same articles because they con-
stitute the raw material which he uses in
making some other articles, and thus it goes
on. One curious thing in connection with
�he matter in that nobody has asked for an
increase of the tariff. This is a clear de-
moustration that the tariff as it stands is
no high that it does not admit of an in -
crease. In some cases the duty is an high as
90 and 100 per cent, while in a few instances
it runs away up over 100 per cent. .
