It was hoped by raany, that with the ad - „event of Mr. Marter to the leadership of the 'Ontario Opposition,the mi: erable "race and religion” cry which has for some years formed the stock and trade of that party, not only on the stump but in the Legisla- ture, would be permitted to die out. This hope was strengthened by. Mr. Mentor's first speech at Loudon. While his Lieutenant, Mr. Howland, declared that he would have all the recent legislation affecting separate schools swept away, and have these schools put back in the same position they were in thirty years ago, Mr. Mae:ter himself Imade no allusion to the subject. Hissilence,how- . ever, it would seem did not please some of his more rabid followers, and he returned to London and delivered a second address. In this address lie was sefficiently explicit and no person can misunderstand his- position. He said "It is it great pity we ever had Separate. schools. If I could remove them I would. If it can be done I am willing to assist\ in donee it. And in doing that 1 belies -ell would be doing what is in the interests of the Roman Catholics themselves. So loug as we have Separate schools we will have these troubles. Otherwise we must hold our tongues or be treated as our leader was by that man at Kingston, who called Mr. Meredith a hungry adventurer.' We say that the schools should never have been established, but, being here, we say they should be put upon the same footing as the Public, schools. They should have the same inspectors; and the text -books should be the same. We say a member of the High School Board should not be forced there• by legislation because he is a Rornan Catholic. No person should be put upon a school board because of his religion. I see noth- ing that reconunends Separate schools, but until they can he constitutionally removed, we must make the best of them.' Now then, why should Mr. Marter have returned to London to deliver himself of this little bit of clap -trap? Simply to in- flame the minds of the extreme Protest- ants and in this way make political capital for Mr. Essery. One speech such as Mr. Marter delivered on this occasion, from a gentleman in his position, will do more to create strife and engender ill will between Protestants and Catholics than_the Separate Schools against which they declaim could accomplish in ten years.- We have had Ro- man Catholic Separate Schools in this Province for over thirty years, and we would like Mr. Marter or any other man to point out wherein Protestantism has been retarded or injured by them. This has never yet been done. Why then should Protestants declaim against them? They are not required to patronise or support them, and why then should they so deeply concern themselves about them. But, says Mr. Marter, "I do it in the interests of Rotnan Catholics themselves." Mr. Marter • may,or may not he sincere in this statement. But whether he is or not, it is time enough for him to concern himself about the welfaee of the Roman Catholics when they ask him to do so. Thus far they have never mani- fested any disposition or desire to be re- lieved from these schools, and until they do, it seems to us that Mr. Marter's sympathy in their behalf is wasted. Mr. Marter ad- mits that they can not be done away with immediately, and in all probability not at all, and says that until they are removed "we must make the best of them." We would like to ask Mr. Marter if it is "mak- ing the best of them" to be continually de- precating them and hinting that they are receiving favors which they should not re- ceive, and bemoaning that they were ever established, and so on, and in this may irri- tating the Roman Catholic people, and ex- citing the prejudices of Protestants. This is what Mr. Matter and his friends are con- tinually doing, and they are doing it, not ut of patriotic motives, or any particular egard for Protestaritisrn, but solely and en- irely for political effect. We say this, be- ause they know, and every person knows hat _ Separate Schools can not and ill not be abolishedso long as Confed- ration exists. Yet although they know nd admit this, they keep pounding away, nd continue the agitation and irritation. uch a course is not, certainly, patriotic or the interests of the countey. This cease - ss and senselesss agitation does more to opularize the Separate schools and to con- lidate Roman .Catholics hi their favor than ny legislation that could •be enacted in reir behalf. a a in le so a ti Now, we ask any unprejudiced person, be he Catholic or Protestant, which is the _best course to pursue in the interests of all con- cerned, to be continually nagging at these schools,. and exciting the religious feelings of both Protestants and Catholics by agi- tating for _ their removal, when we know they can not be removed, or to quietly ac- cept the situation and do our best to make these schools as efficient as possible, so that the children who attend them will obtain as good an education as do those who attend the public schools. The former is the course being pursued by the Opposition, while the latter is the policy and practice of the Gov- ernment. This is one of the leading issues between the parties. Which has got • the best side, and the one best calculated to advance the moral and material interests of the peaple ? It is time that this senseless - . eatid -0bjeCtiOltable: II Were Itt 01‘11 no1 rig* do y good. It doe s , create 'strife and ill feeling, While in the interests of the Province good feeling and kindly relations ehould exist The Ro. Man 'Catholics are receiving justice and nothing more; surely no Protestant who is deserving of the name, desires that they Should not be justly treated. The Montreal Herald, which voices the sentiments of the Protestant Liberals of Quebec, has the following remarks on this Oubject. It says :1 When the 'Equal Rights Association was in progress of incubation at Toronto five years ago, one of the speakers at a big meeting held in the Hortieultural" Gardena to protest against the Jesuits' Estates Act talked of driving a coach and four through the British NortA America Act. The speaker was a Conservative of some prom- inence in Toronto at that time, and in the provincial elections of 1890 nailed his To- ronto speech to Ma Meredith's banner, and in that sign sought to conquer. J. G. Holmes is dead now, poor fellow, and so is the 'cause he championed. But Equal Rights Association has been replaced by the P.P.A., and the man who now, in support of it candidate of that nefarious association, euunciates a policy which, if carried to its logical conclusion, would result in the de- struction of Confederation is no less- a man than the leader of the Confederation, party in Ontario. * * * The spectacle ii a painful one,but it is of infinite importance as a means to the accurate defini- tion of the forces which are most 'hurtful to the spirit of Confederation. Under the constitutional act the several Provinces en- joy several rights. flad those rights not been conceded, Confederation could never have>been achieved. If they were abolish- ed any Province would be justified in with- drawileg from Confederation. What, then, would be the enil of the successful agitation of the policy which the Conservative leader _enunciated at London the other night, it is _easy to see. This gives. the true situation in a few words. The Abolition of the Separate School • system, even if it could be accomplished, would result in the breaking up -of Confed- eration. What would follow a disruption of the Confederacy may be easily imagined. It is strange that a party who plume them- selves on their loyalty should persist in an agitation which can only have for its end the destruction and wiping out of the Do- minion of Canada. But, how much better would we be, if Mr. Marter and his asso- ciates were to have their way. The. dual system does not exist in the United States, and the gulf between the two parties is vastly broader and deeper than it is in Canada, while the strife which continually exists between thein is such as has never been experienced in this Province. The To- ronto Telegram thus describes the working of the union system in that country and any person who has been paying any attention to the coarse of events there knows that its picture is not over drawn. It says : The fruits of unity in the school system may be love, joy, peace between 'fellow citi- zens of different creeds. Outsiders are not quite able to see the love and the joy and the peace through the smoke whiah arises from the bitter fights between Protestants Cntholics in the United States for control of the Public schools. Ontarieshas never wit- nessed strife as deadly or controversy so bitter as that which disturbs Atnerican towns and cities. When the Catholics can elect a, majority of the Public school trus- tees they appoint only Catholic teachers and suppress'the teaching of those parts of his- tory which are unfavorable to their church. When the Protestants regain control they dismiss the Catholic teachers and throw out the Catholic history. The Public schools are Protestant where Protestants are' in the majority, Catholic when • Catholics are in the majority, and a battle ground for both factions when the two creeds are nearly balanced in numerical strength. The Young Liberal Convention. Apart, from the general election, which from the signs of activity at Ottawa, may be expected immediately after the comple- tion of the voters' lists, one of the most im- portant events of 1895, politically, will be the convention of Young Liberals, to. be held in Toronto in the latter part of Janu- ary. Heretofore general party conventions have been held at irregular intervals, and, as in the case of the great Ottawa conven- tion of 1893, at the call of the party lead- ers, who have been required to assume alto- gether too muck responsibility in connec- tion with the management of the forces fighting under their leadership. The inten- tion of the promoters of the prtsent conven- tion is that it shall be made the means ef forming a permanent organization, operat- ing upon the principle of the National Lib- eral Federation of Great Britain, and like it holding annual conferences for the discus- sion of the position of public business, and the relation of the party thereto. The con- ventions of the National Liberal Federation are held in various cities, where the pres- ence of a large number of leaders of political thought is calculated to and often does promote a sort of political revival. The discussions at these conventions are regard- • ed as the hest evidence to be had of the popular feeling, not in a few centres of pop- ulation only, but all over the country. The Federation represents the people holding Liberal principles, and expresses officially the views that afterwards are expressed at the polls. That it is a federation fashioned on this principle the young men expect to organize, is shown by the call sent out by the Young Liberals of Toronto, to clubs throughout he country. The object of the meeting is set forth in the following words: "We be- liene that the annual conferences of such a federation as that proposed would do much to quicken the interest 0 young men in public affairs, and that by a full and free discussion of the questions of the day, the delegates would aid the leaders of the party and public- men generally in ascertaining the wishes of the people. The best interests of our country would be served by enlisting the young men on the side of good government, and in support of a policy determined upon in open , conven- tion, and based .on the experience of the delegates in regard to the sentiments of the people of their own districts." As a central organizing body, a medium for the diffusion of political literature and a headquarters for Liberal speakers during a campaign, the proposed -federation would be to extremely valuable. Its operations could 0 ba carried on by the contribution of a small c fee of probably not more than ten cents ' yearly -per capita of the membership report- ; t ed by afillisted elidiso We believe the is one that will resutt in advantage not only to the Liberal party, but to the people at large, bet:ulnae it will, place the control of party politics in the harida of the mani, instead of the few as is too oftenThe ease ai present. We trust thgt many clubs from our county will be represented at the con- vention, and in the coming Young Liberal Federation. • • Wet Huron. The Patrons of Industry in West Hur8n held a Convention at Smith's Hill, on Sat- urday last. The object of the • Convention was to finally determine about bringing out a candidate to contest the constituency at the approaching Dominion election*. We notice by the reports that Mr. D. A. For- rester, the well known flax manufacturer, of Clinton, was chosen. At a -convention held by the Patrons it year ago or more, Mri James Gaunt, of East Wawanosh, wals given the nomination for the CominonS. Some dissatisfaction with Mr. Gaunt was occasioned by his withdrawing his support from Mr. Connolly, the- candidate for the Legislature,after he ascertained that he was in alliance with the P. P. A. Whether or not, therefore, at the recent Convention, Gaunt was deposed, or voluntarily with- drew, .does not appear from the report. However, be that as it may, it is a matter with which those not connected with the Order need not concern themselves. As to the present nominee, no person can say any- thing but good of him. He is a strong man, and has been all his life closely identi- fied with the farming interests. He has hitherto been an active, outspoken Liberal and is it Liberal still, no matter to what or- ganization he may owe allegiance; in fact he could not be anything else if he tried. We do not know what pourse the other par- ties will take. We notice the Conserva- tives are to have a convention to -day, ancl although the Reformers some time ago tens dered a nomination to Mr. M. C. Cameron, he has not yet accepted. As the platform of the Reformers and Patrons, especially in Dominion affairs, is practically identical, THE EXPOSITOR has always opposed a divi- sion of forces, as failure will almost cer- tainly be the result. The Patrons are the first to place their candidate in the field.. and although the Reformers owe Mr. Cam- eron much, it weuld not be wise for they's to make a three -cornered fight. Besides this, Mr. Forester is a gentleman whom Reform- ers can support without. any sacrifice of principle, as he is sound on all questions of principle which they bold dear. If, there- fore, the Patrons who were Conservatives prove as true to Mr. Forester, as the Pa- trons who were Reformers stood by Mr. Connolly, Mr. Forester can scarcely fail to be elected no matter who his opponent may be. r. Notes and Comments. Rumor has it that the Hon. Edward Blake is disgusted with the bickering and strife in the Irish party in the Imperial House of Commons, and is going to retire when the general election comes on. Rumor further says that at the next general elec- tion in Canada he will tontest East York against Mr. W. F. Maclean, of the Toronto World. * * A later cable says there is no truth what- ever in the report that Hon.• Edward Blake will retire from the Imperial House of Com- mons, but that he has told his constituents that he will stand for the new Parliament if nominated. * * Port Arthur, the supposedly impregnable Chinese fortress, has been taken by the Japanese. It was carried by assault on Wednesday of last week, by two columns of of soldiers assisted by a squadron of war- ships. The Japanese loss was very heavy, but they took the Chinese arsenal and dock- yard, and much other valuable booty intact. It was the old story. In capable hands Port Arthur could not have been taken, but corruption and mismanagement had got in theirwork, and at the critical time nothing and nobody could .be depended upon. Mr. Moody's three weeks' revival cost the people of Toronto about four thousand dol- lars. The rent for Massey Hall was $1,260; the musical conductors received $300; print- ing cost $200; Mr. and Mrs. Moody's ex- penses were $250, and $1,500 was con- tributed to Mr. Moody's training schools at Northfield and Chicago. Mr. Moody, per- sonally, received nothing but his hotel ex- penses. Mr. S. H. Blake is authority for the statement that both Mr. Moody and the cominittee are well pleased with the results of the meetings. * * The result of the recent investigations in- to the boodling of aldermen in Toronto has made the good people of the Queen City open their eyes very wide. It seems that for years certain aldermen have been selling their aldermenic influence to tenderers, as a means of livelihood. In other words they were aldermen for what they could make out of it in hard cash. Professional alder- men, professional office seekers, professional politicians and professional preachers oc- cupy about the same position in the human scale that the coyote does in the scale of beasts. * * Sir John Thompson Will, on Tuesday. next, be sworn in as a member of the Im- perial Privy Council. He will then be The Right Honorable Sir John Thompson, K. C. M. G., Q. C. We don't like the political doctrines he holds, or which others hold and he makes use of, but, nevertheless, Sir John is a good and clever man, and will do credit to the position he has now attained. * * • Two very peculiar functions are performed annually .in. London, England, and have been for centuries. The one consists of the cutting by the solicitor of the city, of two small faggots of wood, and the other of the counting by the same officer of a small num- ber of horse shoes and hob nails, in answer a proclamation calling upon the tenants r occupiers of two certain properties to- ome forward and do service. It is sup- posed that the original grantees were given hese properties as a mark of royal favor for some service dond, on condition that they woad each year *form the nominal labor mentioned. The properties long since passed under the control of the City of London, and the occasion of the annual per- formance of the service is made a sort of fete., The Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Sir Charles Tupper, told the people th-at the Grits knew "the strength of the N. P.,', and that they were frighteued into fits at the approach of a general election. Liberals undoubtedly do know the steength of the W. P. in the sense in which Sir Charles has been so frankly presenting it of late. But the Reformers of NeW-Yorls State and City knew the power of Dave Hill's mtichine, and of Tammany. It is only a question of time when the Canadian people will do with the N. P. party what the people of New York have done with Hill and Tammany. The .length of that time will be- just the length of time it takes the people to learn that sel- fishness and greed are unlovelyand un- profitable things, espe'cially when crystal- ized into class legislation. 4* .II, There is not a minister in the Canadirn Cabinet to -day who does not_know that the N. P. is hurting the country commereially, and that the evils that follow in the wake of protection must inevitably, are, and have been hurting the people morally, but some of them are in the Cabinet. for money, and ionic love the high seats for the power they give.. Being smart men ' they see that by appealing to the more sordid pessions of the . people under cover of a spurious patriotism, they have been kept in power, and keep in power at any price they will. They trust to the innate vitality of the country to keep .it frone going entirely to ruin until they get hat they want out of it, and then—well ; en it's some other fellow's business. * There was a -report circulated that dur- ing` the Japanese movement, on Port Arthur, Mr. Frederick Villiers, the well-known war correspondent and artist for Black and White, of London, who had been following the Japanese army, was captured and killed by the Chinese. The report has not been confirmed, however, and it is to be hoped that it has no foundation. Mr. Villiers was in Canada about five years ago, delivering a course of lectures on what he had seen dur- ing his career as a war arti4. ' He belongs to the same sturdy clar as Archibald' Forbes and David Christie Murray. Li. Hung Chang, since the capture of Port Arthur has been stripped of'- all, his honors and another Viceroy has been ap- pointed in his place. This is rather better, though, than having his head taken off. * Clara, Ford, the mulatta woman who is under arrest in Toronto for the shooting of the young man, Frank Westwood, a short time ago, has,confessed her guilt to the pc. lice authorities and gives as -her reason for committing the crime, that the yomig man, meeting her on the street, attempted to take improper liberties with her and she was determined to be revenged. • . IN/IMENEZMilliMEMINNII/B Cheap Papers. It is often a source of surprise to many how it is that the large Toronto weekly -papers can be furnished at so -low a price as th,ey are now offered for. Those in the busi- ness know how it is donee but otitsiders can- not see through the situation so readily. The fact is, that the intense rivalry between theft Toronto papers is ruining the news- paper business of the country and is degrad- ing many of the local papers into merely ad- vertising sheete. The Toronte, World- hap recentlyelifted a corher of the curtain and given the outside public a,peep at the inside workings of To(reito journalism. The World is the twin Tory paper of Toronto and it knows by experience whereof it speaks. It says: • The newspaper situation in Toronto con- tinues in a congested state. None of the big morning papers have paid a dividend for years, while one of them, the Empire has succeeded in sinking over $200,000, and is now trying to raise more to be sent in the same direction. Some weeks ago an effort was made to amalgamate The Mail and Em- pire but it failed, auenow a combination, headed by Mr. W.'R. Brock, Mr. Thomas Long and Mr. W. E. Sanford, is trying to form a syndicate to get control of The Em- pire. Mr. Brock and. Mr. Long and Mr. Sanford have Money of their own, and are free to do with it as they see fit, to embark in the newspaper or any other business, if they like, but up to date they have risked very little of their own. They have tried most vigorously to form a syndicate of other persons to join with them in getting control of The Empire and making the business men of Toronto and the Conservative party carry the load. Over a million anci a half of dol- lars*of private money is invested in news- paper property in Toronto, very little of which has earned. a dollar for several years, and those who have this tnoney invested cannot complain,an was said above,if Messrs. Brock, Long & Co., come into the field with their own money. But this is not what these gentlemen seek; they prefer that under an appeal, at one time, that the N. P. is in danger, at another, that the Conservative party is in the most immediate danger, to try and get the money th et would give them control of a newspaper that -might assist them in their ambitions. But they do not want to put up the money themselves. They know Where the $200,000 went, and they know where what they may now raise will go. News of the Week.
