The people of Canada rose up yesterday in their miglat and swept Sir Charles Tupper and his Cabinet away, together with a great portion of their followers. The three French • Ministers, Messrs. Angers, Taillon and Desjardins, are under the debris. They made an effort to- bring Quebec to the rescue of the Government in its effort to coerce Manitoba, but their efforts have failed. Quebec sends 44 men to oppose the Government, which pandered to that Province, and but twenty constitu- encies entered into the compact. As for Ontario, Ontario refused from the start to permit -the coercion of a ' Province into forcing Separate schools upon its peo- ple. Ontario spoke yesterday with the re- sult that Conservative seats were lost all along the line. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick practically took the same stand as did the Northwest Territories, where the Government of yesterday-e.annot show a seat to -day. Many good men fell iu the fight, and many 'fell who got just what they de- served. I IA-11AT THE MAIL AND EMPIRE SAYS. , The general election of yesterday resulted in a victors for Quebec. So far as obtained up to a late hour last night the figures were as follows Cons. .Libs. Ontario _ .. 43 43 Qaebec 17 47 Nova Scotia-10 • 10 New Brunswick - 9 5 P. E. Island,- 3 2 Manitoba o 3 Territories e BritishColumbia .. - q 2 Indep. Pat. 3 2 1 88 . 112 9 This gives the Liberals a majority of twenty -font- over the Conservatives and of eighteen oyer the Conservatives and Inde- pendents 'combined. .There, are seven more 'conStituencies yet to be heard from, in two of which the polling day is next Tues- , day. The returns, which -are printed in another part of. this paper, show some re- markable results. Toronto has -elected only two. Government supporters out of four members. Hamilton has:gone -Liberal. So has Kingston. London, however, has re- mained true to the cause. Alithe Ministers in Ontario and the West have been triemph- antly returned,among them Hugh John, Macdonald, who - suppresses Fighting Joe-, Martin. In Quebec the result has been ex- traordinary. The three Ministers there, 'gni Taillon, Mr. Angers -and Mr. Desjardins, - have been defeated. They selected difficult constituencies, expecting, ne doubt, to carry them. McShane has also been set aside„and• with him Israel Tarte. In Ontario there' are two notable disappearances—Mr. Win. Patterson and Mr. Mills. Their plaoes are taken by able Conservatives, Mr. Henry in. one case, and -Mr. Clancey in the other. The last Parliament was elected on March: .5t,h, 1891. It met in - the following month,: and there was a great deal of discussion touching the strength of parties. From a test division, addingto it the,Speaker and the- second seat for which Sir Hector Lan- gevin had been elected, the result was as follows : TO THE PUBLIC We have opened a retail store in connection with our wholesale busi- ness in the rear of the new Don-jinion bank, in Good's old stand, where we will sell the best goods in the ntiseket at bottom prices.

WHAT THE GLOBE SAYS. This is the net result of yesterday's elections. The few constituencies that re- main in doubt caniiot affect the general re- sult. The Laurier -Mowat combination won from the start. Practically every section of the country declared against Tupperism ; Qnebec, in spite of the episcopal mande- ment, simply overwhelmed, the Ministerial- ists. Ontariq did remarkably well, and while the Liberals did net sweep the Prov- -ince, at least?, a large majority .of its repre- sentatives are opposed to the Government, and, there is a straight Liberal representa- tion for half the Province. The Liberal party has captured a major- ity, too, of the Northwest constituencies. It is disappointing that Mr. Martin was de- feated in Winnipeg, but Mr. Hugh John Macdonald's personal popularity and the desperate efforts made by the Government to eapture this pivotal' seat must be held accountable for this disaster. In the Mari- time Provinces, where Sir Charles Tupper boasted that the Government would sweep everything before them, the Liberals made some very substantial gains. The net re- sult is a majority of between twenty and thirty over all, and, counting Liberals and independents together, a majority of about fifty against the Government. Some few seats which are at present placed in one cohtinn or the other will probably change, but these will about equalize each other. One of the most remarkable features of the election was the wrenching from the Government of the representation of the cities of the Dominion. Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Hamilton, Kingston, Halifax, Van- couver, St. John, one after another contrib- uted to the ranks of the Government's op- ponents. Winnipeg, London and Victoria, SEAFORT British Columbia, were the only defaulters. Another remarkable feature was the de- feat of -Ministers. Four Ministers and the Speaker went down in the fight. The de- feated Ministers are Messrs. Angers, W- hen, Desjardins and Dickey, though there is a little doubt about the latter. Sir Adolphe Caron, who was dropped by Sir Charles when he reorganized the Government., had a comparatively easy contest and must have felt some satisfaction when he saw tha three French Ministers who had replaced himself and colleagues fall one after the other. Among the faces that will be missed in the new House on the Liberal side are those of Messrs. Patterson, Mills, Martin, Ei- nes and Gilmour. There is yet, however, some doubt about the suocess of Mr. Clancy ia Bothwell. Among the meat striking figures of the Liberals newly elected are those of Sir Henri Joly de Lotbinlere, Mr. Fisher, of Brome, who reappears in the House, and Mr. Lount, who will be in ' every way an acquisition to the forces of the new Liberal Government. • Royal Tenaplars. The semi-annual district meeting of the Royal Templars of Temperance for the county of Huron was held at Sodom, near Exeter, on Wednesday, June 17th. There were upwards of 100 delegates present from Goderich, Varna, Kippen, Exeter, Crediton, Centralia and Sodom. , The District Coun- cillor, Inspector Tom, of Goderich,presided, and Rev. W, H. Butt, of Centralia, acted as Secretary. Committees were appointed, who reported at a later stage of the meet- ing. Rev. W. II, Butt, who had been tent as a delegate to the Grand Council gave a lengthy report of the proceedings of that body,which met in G-uelph on February last. Miss Pickard, of HolmeeVille, reported on behalf of the committee on distribution of reports and papers, and advised- the reading of "Ten Years of Temperance," and the Templar, the 'organ of the order. Mock parliaments were suggested as an excellent method of amusement and profit. The com- mittee on temperance work, through Mr. Foote, Varna, recommended sermons to be preached twice a year 'on temperance; and a special temperance lesson be taught in the Sabbath schools once a quarter. They also recommended a closer uniou of all tem- perance organizations, with a view to more effective work. Rev. W. II. Butt, on be- half of the committee on the state of the order, noted a marked decrease in member- ship, there being less than one-half reported three years ago. This report led -to a spir- ited discussion, a number claiming that the capitatien tax, which is higher than any other temperance order, is a drawback to its growth along temperance lines, and that too much attention is given to the insurance department, to the neglect of the other. Messes. Wanless, Varna; Elford, Holmes: ville ; Calwell, Goderich; Daymim, Kippen; and Stanlake,Sodom, were appointed a com- mittee to try to revive dying councils and organize wherever new ones can be estab- lished. A cordial invitation was received from the Varna Council -to hold the next meeting at that village. The invitation was accepted, and the meeting ordered to be held in January. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the friends of Sodom for their hospitable entertainment of the delegates. In the evening a public meeting was held in -the hall, which was crowded to the doora, and the programme, a long and varied one, was rendered, by visiting members, besides home talent. panada. • —Twenty female " bicyeliats in Waterloo wear bloomers. —A $7,000 barn is being built on Captain Milloy's farm near Paris. —A sturgeon weighing 110 pounds was recently caught in the Muskrat river, Tem - broke. —Over 2,000 persons attended the Cath- olic picnic at New Hamburg on Thursday of last week. —The Thompson electric company's works at Waterford have been destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $30,000. —Ten thousand people attended the Pat- ron's picnic last week, at the Sandbanks, Prince Edward county. —Sir Leonard Tilley is confined to his home with blood -poisoning in one of his feet.
