UNDER WHICH FLAG 1 Loader Laurier was invited to a tea-party at Boston last week. Ile accepted. Among his henchmen present was L. 0. David, a promin- ent Quebec politician. David seemed, Grit as he is, to have a very poor opinion of his fellow Cana- dians at home. In hie speech he said : "Compatriots of the United States, it is necessary to come to you to know what true patriotism is. - Now this was hardly excus- able, to say that his compatriots in the United States were exemplars of patriotism to their: follows who remained in Quebec. Like master like man, Mr. David probably bolds with Messrs. Laurier, Cartwright and Co. that it is the height of Canadian patriotism to bOcome citizens of the United Suites. Referring to the unanimity of feeling existing between American Canadian French and Quebec Caua- dian Frouch,llr. David said : "We will yet be able to reunite our forces under the same governmeut, under the same flag. Wh e-v'v©remeet 1 unbroken strain of the martial airs of Britain as they give confidence and protection to peoples the most numerous, the happiest and freest in all this wide, wide world. And of these peoples, those in Can ids are not the least in all the higher as well material attributes that have made the parent stock the 'most forceful element in industrial pro- gress, civilization and christianizing that history has any record of. No ono worthy- the name of Brit- ish or Cauadian would ask, "Under what government 1” "Under what flag" lie the destiuios of this Can• ada'of ours. He is a palterer with patriotism and manliness who has any doubts of the perpetuity of British institutions in Canada and the waving of the British flag over it. The British empire is as indi• visible as triune omnipotence itself (with all reverence we say it). There may be several parts, but the one flag head includes all. WHO ARE GRITS f Said a gentleman to us the other day : '`How is it you write so fierce• ly denunciatory of the Grits, class- ing theta as disloyal, while you admit to mothat Refiiriners as a rule are "loyal 1" We had to reply, as wo have often done to others, that the terms Grit and Reformer are by no means synonymous, rather the reverse. \Vo believe that the Re- formers of Canada have the welfare of the country at heart as much as the Conservatives have. Reform- ers may differ from Conservatives as to tho means to a laudable and desirable end, but they will work constitutionally and patriotically to effect it. The Grit faction is com- posed of those who approve of the cut-throat tactics of Cartwright, Farrar and others of that kidney who would hand over this country to a foreign power, commercially and politically ; sacrifice their country and the noblest traditions of the grandest empire the world has ever seen could they but attain power or prevent better men from holding it. Grits may be reformers, but they are reformers of the type that originally endeavored to bring the highest government into con- tempt. They were headed by one Satan. Ile was an angel and a reformer. The Grits may be angels and reformers, but of a very bad kind. No, we have not a word to say against Reformers, and they are more numerous in the Liberal party than tho Grits, who, being unfortunately more unscrupulously aggresaive than 'the majority, commit the whole Liberal party to such detestable tactics as the majority do not by any means approve of. But the Grits vocifers onsly shout the slogan of reform, and the Reform element of the party is quieted or alarmed by the magic of the name into acqniescence in many things which, if given their serious consideration, they would riot condone. It was a dis- agreement between Grits and Re- formers that laid the foundation of the present Liberal Conservative party. The wonder is that so many who are liberally conservative will still adhere to the fortunea of a party whose leaders they are not at heart in accord with. The majority of Scotehinen, for instance, aro Ro- 41--thhe=-earthessesele ole con-tanued-and=• form-ere;-ktrtst•ther•rtivr =L'ib l uywuY. nob? '1' * * You are the pioneers, the advance guard and the . enlighteners ; some day, perhaps, the grandeur of your work will be understood." Mr. David, as the mouthpiece of Laurier and Cart- wright, was oxeeedingly diplomatic. He bad not properly, however, taken to heart the lesson taught by that wily Frenchman, Teheyrand, that words were given to hide one's thoughts. "What government1" "What flag 1" ho asks, shall they re- unite under. He did not very opaquely hide his thoughts. They were as obvious as though seen through the clearest transparency. In his mind's thoughts he was hoist- ing an anti-British flag, the tri -color or the stars and stripes. Compt.re Mr. Leurier's hench- man's indifference as to which flag ho lived n=der, with the patrioti- cally Canadian expressions of love for the British flag given voice to by ldr. Chapleau during the trying times of the Riol rebellion and the ponding - execution. Compare the equivocal loyalty, not to say down- right disloyalty, of Laurier and Car•twright's fellow Grit, Mr. David, at Boston, with Mr. Chaploau's re- marks, also made last wook, in the town of Perth., Ont., at a banquet given to Postmaster General Hag- gart : "They would all remember," aaid Mr. Chapleau, "the notable words of Sir Etienne Tactic, that the lost in to be fired in Canada in de- nlouco of the llritish flag would be by a French Canadian." And com- paring the expressed views of the ex- ponents of the two Canadian politi- cal parties it is not to bo gainsaid that the Grits represent everything that is inimical to the perpetuity of Canadian progress and British con- nexion, while the Cousorvativos re- present Canadian national advance- ment within the' British umpire, whose territory girdles the earth, and whose morning drum beat, fol- lowing the sun in his course and keeping pace with the hours, circles Reformers, not Grits. For if there is a predominai.t trait i.0 the Scotch it is love of country, and if there is one predominant trait in the Grits itis hatred of their country. Speae• ing of the Scotch, Lord Cockburn said : "There is no mistaking the national attachment so strong in the Scotch character ; and love of coun- try must draw forth good feelings in mon's muds, as it will tend to make them teliori-h a desire for its welfare and improvement." It would require a great stretch of lith agination to connect the sardonic lender of the Grit faction, Cart. wright, with love of country or good feeling. A COUNTY HOUSE OF REFUGE:. Tho over recurring question of some scheme to provide for the help- less indigent of the county is being again taken up by the county press. THE NEWS RECORD just prior to the last January municipal elections, as we had often doue before, took up the matter and called the attention 'of municipal candidates and rate- payers to this important. iiiatler. We urged thou, as we do now, the making of "Yes" or "No" on a County !louse of Refuge the chief issue, We reproduce part of ' an article from THE NEWs•RECORD of Derr. 31,1890 : EDITORIAL NOTES. Israel Judas Tarte voted with the Opposition at Ottawa, was elect- ed by the aid of Grit boodle, was unseated for bribery and corruption. Aad now the Grits call ilius a "Tory" although they formerly claimed him, and helped hitn to corruptly defeat a Conservative at the last elections. Auothar Grit M. P. has gone down before the implacable judg• ment of the election court. Truax, of East Bruce, was unseated for bribery last Saturday. Tho Grits slaughtered thousands at the elec- tions by the use of "lots of inonoy." But the courts slaughter the Grits by the tons of thousands, so to say. Seven Grits unseated so far and three judgments pending againet Grits which will likely go against them. Only two Conservatives un- seated so far. There are twenty-five petitions to be tried yet before the courts in Ontario, spine of which possibly will go by default. But in any case there will likely be twenty elections in Ontario before next itiasien of parliament. As township elections will he on in a few days it would be well for candi- dates to sound the ratepayers on the question of a House of Refuge, We do not believe there is a solitary farmer that would oppose ' this scheme had ire the question present- ed to him in all its bearings. Uufor- tunately some candidates want to keep this as a stock question to arouse the jealousy of the farmers, who really would be the most benefitted by carrying out this humane system for the betterment of the condition of their unfortunate fellow human beings. It would be the height of injustice to say that farmers are a lot of unfeeling wretches. Why, they will house and feed stray cattle out of pure sympathy for the poor dumb brutes. It were mockery for county councillors to say their constituents have less feeling for those of their own species, especially when it; can be proven, by other counties whe1e the House of Refuge system is in force, that under it their taxes would be lessened. There property and the lives of themselves and families would also be more secure were all vagrants•and tramps forced to go to a House of Refuge or earn their live- lihood honestly elsewhere. How many murders and indecent assaults upon the wives and daughters of farmers are recorded every year, by vagrants whose excuse for prowling about the country is that they have no place to go to. They are . actual- ly made to be criminals by the laxity of our county councils. EDITORIAL NOTES. Russia has prohibited the exporta- tion of wheat and horses as well as rye. This may be a forecast of War. • The Mitchell Recorder is of the opinion thatMcGreevy,Larkin,Mur- phy audConnolly have been running this eountry. They certainly have done a pretty stroke of business, but the Tory Ottawa government turned the rascals out. One Mer- cier along with his colleagues and one Pacaud, all Grits, have been do- ing a pretty stroke of business in Quebec. Will the Grits help to turn these rascals out also 1 We aro afraid not. CLINTON. 4 WEEKS TILL 'XMAS 1 The manner in which the last Local and Dominion elections were conducted in North Bruce fairly -il- lustrates the modes adopted by the candidates of the Grit and Conser- vative parties and their friends. Mr. Porter was the Grit candidate for the Local. His seat was pros tested but he was confirmed in it. In giving his decision in this case Mr. Justice Osler said "that in res gard to the Ely case, the bribery was clearly established and even ad- mitted by the respondent. Ho felt that Mr. Porter's evidence was given in such a way as to lead to the suspicion that he had not told all he knew, and that what he had said in regard to Ely was untruthful. It was impossible to believe in his state, ment that he did not know Ely was working for hint, and that he did not know about the trip to the Reid's be- ing pre -arranged. The evidence showed that ho met young Ely at his father's house, and nut at the Pacific as he swore. Tt was it very suspicious circumstance, and it was almost impossible not to believe that he was a party to the bribery. But a link of evidence was lacking to prove that Ely was an authorized agent under the law. Whatever existed between them was only known to themselves. Therefore the charge would have to be laid aside." Then in the Dominion eters tions Mr. McNeill was the -Conser- vative candidate. His election was also protested and he also was con, firmed in his seat. But Justices Burton and Osler in giving their decision ex piesshd "their opinion that upon the evidence the election had been carried out with ururesnl purity zxrred-hisf'aeerzrlrt,n=.. L. Wigle and Sons, of Leaming- ton, Ont,, have failed for $100,000, with assets slightly irr excess of liabilities. The senior member of the firm is an ex member of parlia- ment and a Conservative. This loads the Grit press to jubilate, al loging, as they do, that Mr. Wigle is getting a dose of his own medi- cine, the N. 1'. This is the usual incousequential Grit style of argu• anent.
