SEAFORTH, FRIDAY. Jane 9, 1905.
There othing new tram the seat
of Wax in the east: The naval victory
achieved by, Japan was sweoning and
complete. The great Rassian fleet
was almost annihilated, only, a very
poor 'remnant- being left. Japan's
less, both in men end veseels was, al-
so. 'considerable, more "thlan at first'
admitted. But, notivithstanding her
ter.rible, defeat, Russia, wit ft fatu-
itens. persistency, seems disposed.ito
continue the struggle and is al-
ready making preperiations to that
end. Shoeld this be the ease, the
next great battle will be on
land, ;when the remnant of tlie Rus-,
Sian army, will likely be oblitewat-
ed.
There was notbing of 'special in-
terest or -importance before the
Dominion Parliament during the
past week. iThe attention of mem-
bers and politicians genenally is
centred on the -bye-eIeetions in Lon-
don and North; °steed, and PaTlia.--
meet is impiy maikang time until
the. 7es- ult of these. •elections •are
known, meanwhile filling ap the in-
tervals by discreeeing and passing the
estimates ict expenditaTe far the sev-
eral tGavernment departments. As
soon as the be -elections are over it
is likely that beisinesst will. be pro-
teeded within earnest ,with the view
of having the session &heed as soon
as possible. Bat prorogation, under
tbe truest f wearable cireurnstances, is
, .
not probable before the. middle of
August.
London and North Oxford.
The p-caitical battles in London
and North Oxford are now at their'
heigh.t. The nominations in both
constituenciei took place 'on Tuese
day, last :and ,the elections hake ..plac
on next ?Ihresday. Both 'eonstituen
`ties are being over runy, :politicians
both 'great tend small. Neatrly, ell
the Ottawa taabinet Ministers Mee,
spoken in both constituencies white
all the Coneervative big men and
rnanyi little limes have been heordt
from. Even xepreseetatives from
tbe Northwest trerriteries have come
all ttheeway to, Ontario to enlighten
the good people of London :and NoTth
Oxfotrd and itn tell them what the
people of the west think of- the
Autonomy 'bilis :and the educational
clauses. Of baurse the opinioes of
the orators vary he a.ccortlanee, with
their politieal complexion. The
North:westerners of Liberal lean -
lags tell the People that the Auton-
omy bills ere all xight and that the
educational ;Clauses ,axe -just what
the peorp143 there want and that
everything, so far as these- measures
are conserned is simply lovely. The
Conservative ,,orators on the other
side, witli eq dat fereency,assure the
:people of London and North Oxford
that the peopleof the Norhhwest are
up in arms against itbe measures: and
if they are 'Sassed by Parliament
there is dangek of another rebellion.
One wild- end woolly orator from
the west threatens eo shoulder las
rifle and dc*. terrible execution it
the west is " poerced," and se the
battle rages. The people listen and
they can enakst their choice. What
that ohoice will be na man can fare -
tell. If WO belierve the, f;elparts in
the Mail, News and World the Con-
shrvative -oiratrs are, figuTatively,
wiping the platforms with 'their
Grit -opponents. Even Cabinet min-
isters are ecareely given a patient
bearing by the tpeopld and they as-
sure els Dial ItYman will be buried
under an immehse adverse majority
while Smith efsliy be eleeted by the
ekin of kis teeth in the historically
Liberal constituency of North Ox-
ford. On the other side the Liberal
papers assure he that the Liberal
orators have , hntirely the best of
the controversy and while they ad-
mit there is sonne danger of Hyman
they predict that the former large
majorities wille not be much de-
oreased in Nortit Oxford. Which side
Is nearest ;right will be graven by
the electors on Tuesday next. In
the mean time litsth parties are pet-
ting forth their 'best efforts and
both elections lite the most keenly
contested of any. held in these con-
stituencies for e. good many years.
'A 'despatch frehe Moose Jaw, ASSII„
iff4S ,been publiehed as follows:. "The
Assiniboia. Methodist Conference pas-
sed a. ressolutiod on the Northwest
autonomy bill, :declaring that the
principle of Pro4incial self govern-
ment is shatteted by the clauses
of the proposed act; that the educa-
tional clause is: a flagrant viola-
tion °I th,e British North America
Act, and expressing oonfidenoe( that
the entire tAssinibOio penferenee is a :
unit in OppositiOtrte the bill aS It ;
at present stopa4." If statements. '
seat- as these appesirea in the pasty. :
papers people estitild not pay much 1
attention to thane but genLiomen
who compose ohetsch emerts should
be. more ensiefal oa to their Steven -
002. To Ety. that 't` the prin ipfe of
ts
Provincial self .goVerentent shuttered by the elauei
ee of the reposed
Autonomy Act," is' as nonsensical as
the following Slettenaertt is false,
viz., "That the edetootional clauses
(ctf autonomy bill) is a flagrant viol
'titian of the Ilxit1S11 North America
Act." The Provitres have no rights
that are not given- to them by the
British North Arperiee Act and that
aet orsakes distinetand peremptory
provision for the' protection of ,the
educational eightof minorities in
the seveel alprovi.lnetee on their join,.
ing _the ,unton. 4eel the educational
clauses do is ter 'provide this pro-
tection, hence ,ther.e is no over
ing .-of Provinoial,rights, and no vio-
lation of the ilretlile North Ameri-
can Act.

The •Goderich‘ tiitar of last _week
has tbe (following
"The ,.Seafartb ipxposito'r devotes
halt a column of editorial.,space to
a toonderanation et the employment
by' 'the .governinOnt of a Micthigan
book-keeping export, lends incidental-
ly, a reference to'Hon. Mr. Hanna's
connection es director With a "Yan-
kee threshing .Meebins company."
Our friend compesee Mr. Ilanna's
position witle Opus John D.ryden's
Stockholding in a Dakota xanch,and
say's it has no fetilt to find with
either in that TespeOt. But The Ex-
positor wonders Why, tire Tory prees
do not condemn Mr. Hanna as they
did Farmer tJohn, and adds:
As the Godesieh Stale is about
" the only, (fiery' piipee in the county
" that iever exile:000s an Opinion of
" its own, we would like to know
"what it thinks of gr. Hanna's Yan-
kee investneent and his ineporta-
" tion of his Yankee friend to aid him
" in the work of hie 'department."
Well, there it is: lst, as to the
investment. Mi. Hanna was o plain
citizen :when the invested his money
in the Port Huron gencerne and Mr.
Dryden twes a member of the Gov-.
effinment in eller& of the agrical-
tuTe of this Province when btea join-
ed the Dakota rstnehing company.
Does frhie 'Expositor sea any differ-
ence in the two? 11(1 .Mr. Hanna's
explanation ef the engagement of
the Michigan expqt is this:
- The Gevernm.ent''bM,not brought
•over a men to re -organize the aud-
it depaetment. When that was done
it would be under' 'the ,supervision
of Mr. Cross, of, the:'firna -of Clark-
son & Cross. The 00%1'ms:sent want-
ed 4. 'report on the hinder twine in-
dustry and the broom industry, and
it was found that they: could not get
men connected With these indus-
tries •at once, as their employers
would not part NItitN 'ffhena., Mr..
Thorne was 'connected with a firm
of which Mr. Ha:nee, was a director;
and it was an acCominodation grant.,
ed ;him to let. him, have Mr. Ilho:rne'
for 'a short time. .-f%..,,i or resolt of
Mr. IThorne's ill VeS t Wit ion into the
binder- twine and lap,00m industries ,
of the Province, the Government had
ascertained that ,t1t4. PrOVITIOIO was
out of pocket eight fir eiese thousand.
dollars a year. It was found that
the late Governineet in its dying
moments tad made a ocestract for
the -manufacture of hinder twine,
the contreet being ettimped with ,the
si%nature of tratlieS NQX0n, InSpeCtOT
of Prisons, and efteT the election
that signature of Mr. - IsiT,Eoton had
been erased with acid. Mr. Noxon
had siever seen the oentreot. It was
important tteh'at such eontracts
should be 'inves t igt.04 by one who
knows neither ConSerVetive or Lib-
eral', friend or foe. A. ,ter,eat many
stories had ;come to the Government
about similar contrecte and they
-would !have tote ineestiOeted quiet-
ly. The binder twine eentract re-
ferred to had been. eencelled ,by the
new ;Government, and the :report of
Mr. Thorne Would be bToeght .dovve
shortly, -when it would - be found
the t he who lengths lest laughs best.
'When the Legislature.: met next, Mr.
'Fianna said, it w'oltild' not be neces-
na'r3r. 101 justify the Oppointment of
Mr. Thorne. He wee Casting no
slues upon the accouetante of On-
tario, lvfesers. Claekeon :and Cross,
who eve,re at work On a new system
of -accounting, were Tecki.11111g the
suggestions .of Mr.- Thorne."
On , general p.rinciples we think
canadines nee equal to may require -
silent in thtis eounirry, and filio-Od be
given the preference ,a't q11 times.
The special circumstances named by
Hon. Mr. Hanna -seem to -justify to
some extent the dep aT t IWO front .that
principle, and if the developenents to
be shown continue on that line we
think neither W(r.lia.rossi DOW the To.vy
press twill be celled on foe any apol-
ogy. Meanwbile, dear 'Expositor,
please give yeern :readers Mr, Ha.nna's
defence, RS quoted above."
---
' Ed. Note.—The above is not a very
strong defence. If it -wee wrong
for Hon. Mr.,Dryden to have his
meney invested in a Dakota tettle
ranch tit is certainly equally wrong
for Hon. Mr. ,Ilanne. to have his
money invested in, a. Michigan
Threshing Machine Company. The
feet that Mr. Hanna beeame connect-
,
ed with this colnpanyl before he be-
came a Minister Of the e'r,OW/1 in
Ontario, does not alter? preaent con-
ditiens. Having condensed Mr.
Dryden, the etatr, to be eqesistent,
should now demand that Mr. Hanna
withdraw from the Miebigan Com-
pany or eesign his sent itt tbe
Cab-
inet. But Mr, Hanna aggravated his
first offence by leringing one of his
Michigan employees to Ontarioeand
employing him in work in connection
with this department, thus ignoring
the tmen of his own Province. Mr.
Hanna's excuse for -this is tbat the
Government ,wanted u report on the
binder twine and broom industries
and !they tould not get men connect-
ed with, these industries for the, work
and thence empleyed "the: Man from
Michigan." The weakness of this de-
fence will be +evident even to the
Star evhen we say' thet Mr. Marne
the Michigan man, is not au expert
either in connection with the binder
twino or broom industries but is a. -
book -keeper in a threshhing ma -
,chine manufactory. The- Star and
Mr. Hanna should Lay' again. The
fact that 'Mr. Thorne in his investi-
gations discovered some irregular-
ities does not palliate the offence
of this employment, as these could
h'ave been discovered just' as reed-
ilyby n Canadian accountant. We
say tt again that The Expositor does
not find any} fault with] Mr. Hanna
heeauselflie lhas his _money invested Itt
en .Anierican manufaeturing eaiter-
prise ;nor does it find veal/ rauch
ifault twithl, thim for employing Mr.
Thorne, if be has more isonfidence
in this 'abilities and honesty than he
has in Men tot .bis own Province, bat
we do say it 'i hamefully incon-
sistent for the Sten and other Con-
Tservative papers to winle at or try
to dustif,y +practises, of theie own
Political friends which they; so es-
verelee sensu,red when practised by
their ;political opponents. That is
the point.'
