SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Nova 12th, 1897 • Strong Imaginings. The Toronto Mail has an imagination more brilliant than reliable. For weeks it has been giving vent to its imaginings as to the dikeful results that will overtake this Province in the event of the present Govern- ment being retained in power. Millions of dollars are to be given to the other Provinces,through the medium of the Do- migion Goaernmexit, and, of which millions, Ontario Will have to whack out the lion's share. But it fails to explain what means Mr. Whitney and his colleagues will adopt to stop -this out -flow of gold from—the Do- minion treasury, over which they will have no more control than the Mail, should they be placed at the head of affairs in this Province. We suggest that the Mail supply this, missing link. We give below a sample af the Mail's meanderings, so our readers can see the !ranee of mind it is in. We take the following extract from a long editorial, • which appeared in its columns EL few days ago : In the first place we are met by exorbit- ant demands upon as on behalf of certain EasternProvinces. Nova S3otia bonused railways to the tune of $1,350,000, and then turned to Ottawaand proposed that we should pay this money. It is not our debt; we did not build the roads • yet the assur- ance has been given that in aicertain politi- cal contingeney, which has come to pass, • namely, the triumph of the Local Govern. ment at the polls, we shall be compelled t� shoulder a share of' that sum. Prince Ed- ward Island has not built any railways. Canada owns and ruus its local line. But the Globe's party friends there—the bad element—say that becaose ,we have been taxed, once for the construction of the Inter - colonial and the Canadian Pacific, and be- muse neither of these roads are on the is- • /and, we must be taxed again to compensate Prince Edward Island for the money that has been spent elsewhere. This project means three millions of dollars, which sum Was promised as a reward for the re-election of Mr. Peters and is to be paid. Here we have $4,350,4300 looming up as political or campaign expenses, in respect of which the Ontario farmer, unlesa, indeed, he protests with vigor, is to be taxed. Perhaps those who place faith in the san- ity and truthfulness of the Mail will be •surprised to learn that no such demands as it speaks of have ever been made on, and no such promises as it refers to have ever been made by or on behalf of, the Dominion Gov- ernment. And should any such demands be made; in the future, not one cent can be given for any of the purposes named unless the consent of the Dominion Parliament is first obtained, and then, on the top ot that., the assent of the Dominion Senate. As three-fourths of the members of the Senate are of the same political Persuasion as the Mail itself, our readers can readily iudge of • the groundlessness of the fears as expressed by the Mail. The fact is, the Mail is mad, but there is method in its madness. Hair: ing no substantial grievatce against the Liberal party, it conjures up these imagin- ary "outrages,." and, depending upon the • presumed ignorance of its readers, it hopes - In this way to injure the Liberal party. Such a -course is not very honorable, but it teems to be the kind of warfare that the Mail delights most to pursue. 4 • More Paatisian Government. The Toronto Telegram which is Indepen- dent in politics with strong Conseivative leanings, diacourses as follows on non-par- tisan government. it saya : British Columbfans must he amused by the Montreal Star's solemn warnings to be- ware of thelenils of partyism in provincial affairs. There are just two provinces of Canada which havn enjoyed the blessings of professedly non-partisan provincial adminis- tration, and. the record of non-partisanship in New Brunswick and in British Columbia is so much worse than the record of partyism in any .province that experience will not prove the wisdom of the Star's contention. The standard of political conduct is lower among the British Columbia leaders than among the politicians of New Brunswick, which is saying a good deal. Partyism even in. Quebec has not made a worse record than non-partisanship in New Brunswick and British Columbia, and the Ontario man does not know hew to appreciate the blessings of good government • in his own province until he gets close to the public affairs of British Columbia and sees • how the resuorces of that province are being squandered by its rulers. Until men are a good deal better than they are, public opinion can best govern through the agency of the party system in Provincial andiNation al affairs. The country can be better derved by a party 1which will work for the people than by a group of individuals who will work mainly for themselves. The aim of the patriot should not be to destroy the party system but to improve that system by encouraging vigorous 4 out- side criticism of every party, and equally vigorous action insides the party when the leaders show a marked inclination to take .their parties on the wrong track. From a Conservative Point of • View. The scheme of extending the Intercolonial , railway to Montreal, introduced by the Do- minion Government at the last session of Parliantent and now being carried out,seems to be a necessity if the road is ever to be made to pay anything near its running ex- penseas It has been very severely condemn- ed bysthe Mail and other Opposition papers, who refuse to see anything geed in any scheme proposed by the Government. The Toronto World, however, does not appear to be of thia class and seems disposed to judge of the scheme on ita merits. It places the position very fairly as follows: In the matter of the Canadian winter ex- port trade the Grand Trunk, which has 1 always been the chief feeder of the Inter- ' colonial, naturally favors Portland, where it controls terminal facilities of its own. As a matter of course, the Canadian Pacific i nommen wettern freight to St. John, New Brunswick, and between the two Inter-, colonial interests are neglected and the road fokeed to subsist on what freight it can ny to points on its own tine. Instead of I, outing, as it was intended to become, one of the great trunk lines between the produc- ing interior_and the seaboard„ When always remained in the position of a branch line of either or both of the two great railway systems of Canada. On this account, too, the Intercolonial has been a great burden upon the taxpayers of this country, and it was absolutely necessary that this should cease. That it can be placed temporarily upon a paying basis has already been shown by Hon. Mr. Haggart. That it can be placed permanently upon a paying basis can only be done by giving the railway an op- portunity to obtain its full share of export freighv. The connection with Montreal was a natural neceseity that was forcing itself each year with increasing strength upon the manegement of the Intercololual, and the agreement with the Drummond counties road is the effort of the Ottawa Government to bring thiaabout. We do not propose here to discuss the merits of the deal with the Drum- mond counties's, road,but we certainly believe that by bringing the Intercolonial to Montreal the Government have put it in a position that increases its earning power, gives it greatei independence, and removes a Gov- ernment work, Owned and controlled by the people of Canada, from the unenviable sit- uation of being practically subject to the whims of private corporations whose inter- ests are apt to be in many cases diametrical- ly opposite. The Michipicoten Gold Fields. Lieutenant-Colenel Tisdale, M. P., and a member of the late Dominion Government, has been prospecting in the Michipicoten gold regions for several weeks. On his re- turn he gives a glowing account of the pros- pects in that countrt . Kealso speaks very •favorabliof the mining regulations adopted by the Ontario Government and says they are giving good satisfaction to the people there who are interested in gold mining. Indeed it would seem that the only ones who are not pleased with them are Mr. Whitney and a. few of the Conservative pa- pera of Ontario, and. it is moat likely that they know very little about them. Concern- ing the richness af the country and its fu- ture prospects, Colonel Tisdale gives the following glowing account: The veins are deemed by some to be very strong guarantee of the fissures; they are of astonishing richness, because in many cases the actual wall and the hanging wall •are visible. Free gold in the vein can be found usually, so that it seems to be largely a question of whether the fissures go down, deep enough to make actual deposits, and to what extent they bear gold, compared to the coat of working. The indieationa are that the quartz is a free -milling quartz, that will be easily worked. • There is abundant water near at hand ; Lake Superior is but a short distance off, and the C.P.R. is only 50 miles away, and how far the gold region ex- tends up towards it remains a problem. If the surface indications and the discoveries of veins are to be taken as a thing that will secure large depopits it looks as if neither Rat Portage nor the Lake of the Woods were " in it" with this locality at the same stage of development. During my *visit I met people from different parts of the United States and Canada, and from the old country ; much more attention of men ex- perienced in mining has been attracted to it, and all the reports I have heard from men of that sort were encouraging indeed. I apprehend that next spring we will see an excitement there and a class of people going in that will be rather surprising. Editorial Note., and Comments. It is 'understood that Sir Oliver Mowat will resign his position as Minister of Justice on the 175h or 185h inst., and will at once be sworn in as Lieutenant -Governor of Oa- tario. He will reside with his son, Sheriff Mowat, until the termination cf • the occupancy of Government House by Lord and Lady Aberdeen. On the 305h inst: he will read the speech from the throne at the opening of the Legislature. Soon after Sir Oliver resigns, Hon. David Mills will go to Ottawa as Minister of Justice. A Cconrervative convention was held in South Wellington on Monday last, to select a candidate for the Provincial elections. Mr. Whitney and Mr. St. John were at the convention. Two candidates were nominated but both declined and the con- vention had to be adjourned without select- ing a candidadate. This does not look very - encouraging for the Conservative cause in , South Wellington, but it does look as if Major ,Mutrie, the present representative, will have a walk over when election day cothes. The contract for the new city hall in To ronto was let in 1889, and eight years have gone by, and still the center of the city is disfigured with all kinds of rubbish, and the Mayor of Toronto is at sea as to when, if ever, the building is to be finished. The contract for the masonry, etc., was let to Mr. Neelon, and he was under penalties to have the •work done in July, 1894. In 1892 the cday's architect took the work out of the contractor's hands, when there was, presumably, but eighteen months of werk to be done, and he has spent five years at the work and it is not finished yet. The first estimate of the cost, land and all was $800,- 000 ; it has already cost $2,500,000, and the probability is that when the building is finished the entire cost will exceed three millious of dollars. The Ontario Parlia- ment buildings, a much larger although not so elaborate a structure, was conaeleted and furnished for less than half what the Toron- to city buildings will cost. Mr. Wm. Lount, Q. 0., meihber for Ceutre Toronto, has resigned his sent in the House of Commons and coinmunited his deter- ,' minatio'n to Mat Speaker. a hen Mr.Lount was, on the eve of the gene'Ll election, ask- ed to be his party's candidate in-tentre To- ronto'he „replied. that if elected he feared the dutiee of the office would interfere seriously with the practise of his profession. He was persuaded, however, to make a trial of it, with the result that what he antici- pated has come to pass. He &Ida that he cannot do his duty to his constituents and at the same time attend to the business of his clients, and has accordingly concluded to resign his seat. Mr.. Lount redeemed Centre Toronto from Conservatism and the question now is, will it stay " redeemed " since he has dropaed out. The next Reform candidate will likely be Mr. Bertram. The election takes place on the 305h of Novem- ber. —Miss Nellie Tighe, of 55. • Paul, Min- nesota, who some two months since holi- dayed a month at the maternal residence, in Goderich, was last week sworn in as a no- tary public at a special seesion of court, at which she became a citizen of the United States.

The fire broke out in She Grand Trunk elevator, completely de- stroyineit, along with a large quantity of grain. The tire communicated with the lumbei yard of N. Dyment, of Bailie, and burned along the water front, consuming Dyment's yard and the lumber belonging to the yard of Wm. Rutebn, of Goderich. A gale Was blowing at the time, and but for a change in the wind the probabilities are that a number of other buildings, lumber scowls and sailing craft -would have been de- stroyed, as they were hemmed in and could not get through the burning lumber floating in the harbor. As it was, the schooner Todman was badly damaged, her masts and rigging being destroyed and her hull scorch- ed. The tug Evelyn made her way ont with difficulty, and is safe. Two WO were scuttled and sunk. The fife extended for 300 yards along the wharf: The cause of the fire is unknown. The losses are heavy, and are as follows : The Grand Trunk Rail- way elevator and four freight cars ; loss and insurance unknown. 65,000 bushels of wheat in the elevator, valued at $53,000; insurance unknown.
