The Sedtarian Cry. , The OppoSition to the Mowat xovern- raent at the present election is based fot the most part me trivialities, and wh re the questions inv'elved are ef importanc it will be found that the Government is in the right and its opponents in the wrong. ihnoc- currence of disease among some d licate, high bred cattle at the Agricultural allege, the dismissal by the registrar of Peter- borough of his deputy, the consump ion of too many eggs by the officials of one of the Provincial aaylums, are matters whi h can- not by any degree ef hauling and t isting be made large enough to form a b sis for judging the merits of the Government, yet these .eptestiens and others of like iMpor- tame hulk largely in the charges again4 the Mowatadmiaistration. But it is not by means of these that it is hoped to oust Sir Oliver. Accusations founded upon matters of faCt may be met' and satisfactorily explained, but who can fight against the darker; pas- sions of the , mind when they are onee in- flamed into 1 action ? The people of our country haveinherited the strong religious and race feelings and prejudices which Char- acterized their ancestors in the old land, and an attempt began some years ago to excite these prejudiCes to their utmost heighti and to turn their full Reece against the M wat in this attempt are kept as much below the i, Government has culminated in the pr seat campaign , `Ite operations of those eng ged what is going on in , the country is aware i surface as poesible,bat every one -wilt; kt ows thaka, determined effort is being made to push Mowat to the wall by fore? of thel ec- in party papers like the Empire have li tle i tarian cry. The issueS raised and discu sed -real relation to the contest in hand e they resernble rather the dust and smoke of a feigned attade by one wing '' of an army, while the othereseeks hy stealth to take pos- session of' the citadel. It is charged that the Government has held an unequal balance between Roman . Catholics and Protestants, and that the former have been unduly favored; as against the latter, in return for an alleged " solid vote " said to have been turned .over to the Liberal party by the Catholic hierarchy. The particulars in which it is charged that this favoritism has been shoWn are (t) schools, (2) appointments to office, and q) grants to hoepitads and charities. \ve do not believe that such a thing as a solid Catholic vote exists. The fact that in the late Legislatnee both Sir Oliver Mowat ankl Mr. Meredith:numbered among their foIloet ers adherents ef the Catholic faith is proof - that there is ao such, vote, though if there is anything calculated to bring it into bell ing, it is the tactics of those who are se diligently declaiming against it. With regard to separate schools, while we . are quite free to say we Nvould prefer to see' the youth of our couatry receiving a conal mon education, from the same source, we cannot forget that a portion of our Roman Catholic felloutcititens differ from ue in this retriect, and choose to exercise the right con- ferred upon them by the constitution to have their own schools. This being the case, it is surely the boundeo duty of the Government tO pass -each legislation as will reader separate schools effective in the work of education. To demand that the .Legisla- ture shall place the separate schools back in exactly the same poeition as they were when Confederation began, is to deny to Catholics the right to share in theimprove- meats in educational methods which have been made since that time, and to dedare that they shall be refused redress from any enactments which time and experience have shown to cripple the effectiveness of their sehods. It is not a question of whether 1 or not we are to have separate schools. We have them now, .and it is surely in the inter- est of Protestants as well as Catholics that they should be kept in a position to do theiti work well. It is claimed that the Mowat Governmeat ; has shown its favoritism to Catholics by ape pointing an undue proportion of them to office. This charge has already been pretty well exploded, but it keeps ca'eppiug up with a good deal of persistency. The Catholics of Ontario are about oue-sixtb of the whole population, and if the -offices were divided in exact proportion tp their munbets, one- sixth at least of the appointments would be held by Catholics. As a matter of fact, a. Parliamentary retnrn shows that out of 1,738 officials in the inside and outside gov- ernment service, only 219 are( Catholics, or about one-eighth of the whole, and that the proportion of salaries received is very simi- ; ler. If there is ground for complaint in connection with the number of Catholics In : the pablic service, it is thet they are too -. few, net too many, if so poor a test as re- ligious belief is the one to be applied. We have heard a good deal about Roman Catholic institutions in the guise of hospi- tals, refuges, etc., which are subsidized by the Government to the injury of Protest- ant institutions of a similar kind. There is little reason in the complaintt as the aid given to hospitals and charities is regulated by statute, and in no way depends upon the capriee of the Government. All institutions are dealt with in exactly the same way, so 1 much per day being allowed for patients or inmates, wording to class. Hospitals and charities under Protestant manageinent received from the Government last ye 1. aid to the amount of $71,836, and those under Catholic management $30,102. If C 'tholie institutions appear to have received a dis- proportionate share of the grant,- th only reason can be that Catholics maintain a larger number of such institutions for their population than Protestants do. The wave of intolerance which is passing over some portions of this Province *ill spend itself, and common sense will resume its sway ; but it is to be feared its effeet will be to make more difficult of attainment that harmony between the people of differ.. ent creeds and races which must be brought about before our country can take its plaae in the ranks of the nations. Looks Blue for MI% Meredith. A classification is given. in last Satur- day's Empire of the candidates' noW in the field fur election to the Legislature, which reveals some interesting facts. For in- stance, we learn that Mr. Sol. White, one of Alr. Meredith's most active lieutenants in the late Legislature, is an independent. Mr. White has strong annexationist tenden. cies, and the Empire finds it convenient to disown bim before the election, but for pur- poses of classification it might juet as well have cailed him a Grit. The P. P. A. can- didates in Hamilton and elsewhere, are also classed as Independents, though their hos- tility to the Government 'and -their affili- ation with the Opposition is well known, The most significant fact, however, is that out of the 93 constitnencies in the Province electing 94 members, there are only 58 in which straight Conservatives have been put up as candidates. That is to say, there are 35 constituencies, or over one-third of the whole number, in which no professed fol- lower of Mr: Meredith has been found bold enough to risk the chance of elegtion. On the other hand, fillingiin trwo or three evi- `dent omissions, no less than 79 Referm can.' &dates are . now in the field, and some of the " Independents " will, if elected, al- most certainly suppoit the present Govern - meat. The Independents number 17, and the Patrons of Industry are responsible for 41: ts quite evident from a perusal of this table that there hes been no landslide in the direction of the Conservative party, and that whoever wins it will not be•the Conservatives. 1Vith Mr. Meredith and his party it is a case of " heads you win, tails . we lose."

Further, he ex- pressed the opinion that it was one of the most beautiful and instructive the whole eahibition. He thought Ontario's the only exhibit that at all approached his ideal of what an educational exhibit should be, for he considered it the most perfect in arrange- ment, and explanatory in a simple and satis- factory way, of the finest practical system of public education, from the kindergarten to the university,that the world offers to -day." Just abont Right. Knoxonian; the clever Conti; eitor to the Canada Presbyterian, who often gets off a pretty good thing, had the following to say last week about "Disgusted Paley Men :" " Looking over the newspapers you some- times see letters signed "Disgusted Cons vative," " Disgusted Liberal " and " d gusted " citizens of variots other kinds. Besides the people arho have become d gusted with their political affiliation th are disgusted Presbyterians, disgus Methodists, and perhaps a few in all other denominations Who are not in as hap a frame of mind as a Christian should and might bee If we knew all the facts about disgus people, perhaps we would not waste int sympathy upon some ,of them. What the facts in a geed many cases. er- is- is- ere ted the tye ted 'eh are • A. DISGUSTED TORY 'is not unfrequently man who has become dissatisfied with his party mainly because he could not get what he wanted. Perhaps he wanted the noMination for his constituency. Years ego, when Slut john Macdonald was on one of his election tours; the old leader slapped this -friend on the back in a familiar wayand tOld him that he hoped to see in Parliament before long. Perhaps the Premier added that he wanted juet such clever fellows in Parliament to help him to fight the Grit& and give the country geiod government. Front that time forward the innocent man set his heart on Ottawa. thought of Ottawa ley. day and dreamedrioef Ottawa by night. Hp imagined h•imself the Commons defending Sir John and de- molishing the Grits. The general election came round but his friends didnot send him to Ottawa. In fact they did not even nom- inate him. and the disgust of the goOd man went up niaety degrees above zero. Then he wrote a letter to the newspapers and signed himself " Disgnsted ConServative." Another patriot wanted- an office of some kind from Sir- John Thompson. Sir John bad no. office to give hien. . Forthwith he became disgusted and wrote a letter to the pepers'saying that he would have nothing more to do. with the old patties. It is heed- less to say he signed the letter, "Disgusted Conservative." Another specimen of the disgusted family is a typical man. He belenge to the class . that Sir John Macdonald used to nuree and hunior. Sir John was good at that kind of exercise. Sir John Thompson does net ex- cel in the nuesing and humoring businees. The patriot sorely misses the nursing and humoring, He feels ont in the cold. aWhen he can stand it no longer he writes to 'one iFf the popers saying that he has given his last Consenrative vote and that . henceforth he will be foand in the ranks of the. Patrons' or the P. P. A.- Of course he signs his letter " Disgusted Conseivative" The man who profeeses to . be disgested because Sir John Thompson is a Roman Catholic -is beyond the pale of discussion. If ally Methodist wiellies tO turn Roman Catholic he has an undoubted right to turn. We may not admire the transition, but the man has aperfect right to make it. . DISGUSTED GRITS are made mach the same way as disgusted Tories. They wanted iiomething from th party mod because they could not get it th y rushed into print with the solenin declara- tion that they had given their last Liberal Vote. They stopped 4ing the Globe and borrowed the next number from a.neighbor to see if the paper was hi mourning and Sir Oliver Mowat out of office, They are astonished to find that the Globe appears as usual and that Sir Oliver refuses. to go. Then follow letters on fees and on separate schools and extravagance and On the general wiekednesS of the old parties. Of course these letters are always 'signed " Disgusted. Liberal," The correct facts of the case of- ten are that the " disguieted Liberal " who writes so eeathetically about. his last vote wanted the GoVernment to • do some wrong en. doubtful thing for him, The Government refused and the patriot at once rushed into the newspapers, made Ids :dying declaration about his last vote, declared that he in tended to join some. of the new combinations and pf course signed his communication " Disgusted Liberal." The old campaigners wht used to manage electione before the election law camp into force could " fix '? that last vote in five min- utes so that it would not be the last one: In the good eld times when twenty or thirty thousand dollars were sometimes spent on a eingle contest disgusted .Liberals and dis- gusted Tories were net so nameroas as they are now. ' • Monee-Never take Much stock in peo- . pie who pretend to be disgested with other people quite as good as themselves. DOINGS AT THE DOMINION CAPITAL. hee our Special Correspendent.) OrrAWA, June 3,2th. This story, which does not ehow the Hon. 'Peter White, the Speaker of the House of Commons, in a very favorable light, is told. Miss Agnes Kennedy, e member Of a family living in Pembroke, which is the home of Mr. White, came tO Ottawa to' obtain em- ployment es a typewriter, and,got into the office of Me. Waters, Commissioner of Cus- toms. Mr.: White, having learned NYhatt the girl was doingthrought his influence to bear to have her dismissed, and On returning from attending the funeral of her mother, (her father being already deadj she was dis- charged. Mr. White told the Controller of Customs that Miss Kennedy's 'people had always opposed him in elections. Mr. . Parmelee, the Depety Minister of - Trade and Commerce, having some sympathy for an:orphan-girl, who was striving to earn her living honestly, she secured a similar position iu his Department. But Mr. White subsequently learned of this second appoint- ment and again secured her dismissal. This was lest mouth. The constituents of the hard featured member for North. Renfrew will not likely forget this touch of human kindness from Mr. White to the orphan. The motion of the' Opposition claiming public lands for the settler, without the in- tervention of middlemen or speculators, was voted down in the House by a majority of over 50. The Opposition pointed • out that lands in the North West had been sold to political favorites for as' low as 55 per square mile. Over 1,300 townships were, at one time, disposed of . that price. Grazing lands were leased for One cent an acre, and then a large quantity of public lands was alienated for the purposes of railway lines eo that there is very little ofea, good quality of land now left in the hands of the Gov- EXPOSITOR. ernment 56 offer settl . Nearly half an empire has been giv n away' or sold at a nominal pride, and mos of it is in the hands of speculators, coloniza ion companies, land companies and railway corporations. The very slow progress o settlement in the North West, an shown .y the census, is tes- tiMony to the ' mal -a ministration- 1 this Government.

This does not equa e very well with Mr. Meredith,'s policy in the west, but in the eyes of a few it is - ju t the ticket for Ottawa, where the poulation is nearly one- half Catholic. If McVeity is thrown over, his supporteihare not like y to rally around Mr. Durocher, and if M a Duroeher does not run it will leave the party without ii, candidate at all; which, ' i the -opinion of :some of its leaders, would a them in the positien .they *ought to occupy. : It was unitising to see the effort o run with the hare and hunt with the ho Inds, by nomin- ating A man belonging to t le P.
