great enthusiasm; prevails about the
intended tour of the Premier and his
colleagues, and preparations are being
made to give them a rousing reception

Ere our re.tdere receive another copy
of TILE NEWS RECORD the Premier and
his able colleagues will have come and

interested in the welfare of their own
country and are anxious to hear Can

tance to the future of this young nation
will be dealt with. The responsible

CAA ADA ALL RIGIIT.
A Reform journal on the 15th inst.
had the following :-A Canadian re-
siding in Grand Rapid°, Mich., writes
to a friend in Ontario an follows : "I
hear that Canada is bolding her own
and not feeling tho times as we reel
them over here. It does my heart good
to thick that her institutions aro on so
sound a barrio, and that she is doing so
well when thiscountry is in such straits.
Canadians do not know what hard
titnee are, and I hope that they never
may experience anything like what is
.felt here. Some of the largest firma of
the city are idle -shut up on account
of being unable to get a dollar from
• the\\banks to pay their employees.
People think, however, that the worst
of the storm ie over. At this time
'there aro about eight hundred men out
of employmentlin this town alone."
OUR MEMJJER,
Last Thursday the directors of the
[pronto Industrial Exhibition tendered
luncheon to Sir 11. Webster, a member
of the Imperial House• of Commons,
Hon. J. Ce Pattersou, Canadian Minis
for of Militia, Hon. John Dryden, and,
a timelier Of others. In referring to
West liur00's worthy Member the (aoLC
says :-
TILE MINISTER O1 a111J'rIA,
Hon. J. C. Patterson spoke •of the
amazing growth of the Exhibition, and
said that if this growth continued it
would, he necessary to remove the New
Fort farther west. He was proud 0,8 a

grounds 00 the previous day (Wednes-
day), to see 75,0110 intelligent, Canadians,

ence of liquor. The speaker expreysed
his gratification at seeing Sir Richard
\Vebster present, and felt sure he
would be able on his return to England
toive a gond report of the country he
had seen. The people of Canada, 11e
said, were Acetal of their connection
with Great Britain. They were the
liop's whelps, and -would prove them-
selves worthy of the lion when they
had attained their growth as a nation.
Canada wanted from Great Britain
that recognition and pleasure of justice
which she was entitled to.. Minister
Patterson expressed the hope that Sir
Richard would lend his aid to remov-
ing that measure of injustice against
Canada -the embargo ou cattle. He
closed with a conlpliutent to, the direc-
tors of the Exhibition.
PACTS PROVE 7'IIE OPPOSITE.
The very sincere Grit press for roars
have endeavored to picture distress and
hard times generally in Ontario. THE
NEWS RECORD has contended all along
that the Canadian nation is one of
the most properons in the world.
When partisam newspapers endeavor
to discredit the condition of their own

country they never compare the state of
things in the leading countries of the
world. Comparisons would not suit
their partisan purposes. For instance,
farm lands aro ,compered at present in
Canada, with the prices some years ago.
The Senforth Expositor is pleased to
note that prices do not range se high
and charges the Conservative Govern.
melt with the responsibility. But the
only remedy our cotettl ot'ers-without
the slightest proof -is a change of Gov-
ernment. We would not think for a
moment that our partisan cotem. would
hold the Conservative Party in Canada
responsible for the great depreciation
in value of lands in free trade Britain.
Nor do we think the Expositor would
ask that the ConservativeGovornmentof
Canada be hold responsible for the do -
pression iu the United States where
land and grain are as low in price as
ever known before. Our eotem'a
remedy would be worse than the alleg-
ed evil. Thinking people make a
change only to better their condition.
The Eater Advocate compared the con -
d
ditjou of Canada with that of other
couutriee apd the Eefroettor take° ex•
ceptiou in this language :-..,.
" We would like to ask the Advocate
if it knows of ails, farms in Huron county
that are wolrth as much as they, -were
twelve or thirteen year's ago, or it' It has
heard of any fanners around here who
think it pays to rase wheat or horses?
And we would ask the intelligent farm-
ers of FIuron and elsewhere if they are
satisfied to see their farms depreciate in
value and the primes of their products
go steadily down, without a oorr, spond•
ing decrease in their expenditures? If
they are, we advise thein to vote at the
next Dominion election for Slr John
Thompson & Company, but if not then
let them go with Wilfred L•turierand the
great host of the Liberal Party, whose
policy strikee right at the root of the
evil. The National Policy is played out;
give the International Policy a trial."
Aasertiuu le Dot tu•guwent. Our

MANITOBA SCHOOLS.
Protestants and Roman Catholics are
deeply interested in the Manitoba
School Question. Many of the Rontan
Catholics in 'Ianitoba and older
Ontario do nut want Separ-
ate Schools in the Northwest or Mani-
toba. Protestants throughout the
Dominion do not want thein.
THE NEWS RECORD would rather have
only one public school system through-
out the broad Dominion. But we are
not of those .who would smash Cou•
federation to abolish separate schouls.
We love the welfare and progress
of our native eoautry too well
to sacrifice our very life and the life of
fair Canada. In time the desires of
our people may be gratified. The
time has not yet arrived. Some say
strike NOW. We say NO, meet em-
phatically.
In active conflict or war an officer in
command does not order a "charge" to
sacrifice hie troops. Ile strikes to
succeed. Honest and broadminded
mon will do the same. Who ever
knew of a successful charge tvithout
fnrewareed success. Not one.
And still wo find men blathering
around and declaring war to the knife
who are a disgrace to their professed
Protestant principles ; nhon who would
unknowingly and indirectly place the
Popp of Rome at the head of power
and unwittingly frustrate their very
aims. They aro willing and ready to
criticise and osteraciae this journal and
consign ue to the depths of hades and
the dungeon° 'of Popery because we
will not bow the knee and support
"shoot the volunteers" Laurier and his
disloyal party. These people do not-
consider
obconsider that by withholding our
support from staunch Protestants that
we would help to elevate a French
Roman Catholic to power and rule
and make a king of a man that has
declared in effect that ho would give
Manitoba Roman Cetholie Sohoole for
all time to come.
Wo are not of the "Pope Protectant"
sr
stripe. Give Laurier power. An-
other gerrymander will come. It will
not be of the Liberal Conservative
stamp-.liouest. Towns and town-
ships will be split and hackisd out of
all recognition. Laurier will be there
in poweraud professing loyalists aennot
remedy the evil. M. C. Cameron,
who said the Protestants "thirsted for
Riel'a blood," will heck up the French
faet.ion. Our Ontario people will find
that. they oap.nut help themselves. It
will be too late. They will have
helped to lash their own backs and
merited all they may got. Tho party
they are indirectly or directly sup-
porting is in league with Mercier, a
man who has been proven the must
heinous Romanist political demagogue
and dishonest man the Dominion
has ever known. Sir Oliver Mowat
belougs to the same gang of popery
rulere. Still we find a few anti -popery
howlers- surely unknowingly - iu
league with these men.
The Manitoba Schools are of great
nhteiest to the people in Huron.
Many of our suns and dnnghters and
brothels ora i❑ that Province laying
the fuuudatiun of a prosperity that
;hey helm will nut be interfered with
by legislation that aims in sndtlltng the
Province with denominational sclwuls
The great advocates of these schools are
the blench Montan Catholics who were
iu
tho country before it 60(15 set apart as
a ptoviuco. '1•heso pe•uple took to
their compatriots and co -religionists in
Quebec, r('proeeuted by Mr. Llurier,
for support in their efforts to get the
.gave1'llnlent to disallow the Greenway
Act or pass such remedial legis!atiou
os will give then] their desire. A
largo number of people in Qeeh c sym-
pathize with those in Manitoba, and
are tiiinging pressure to bear un the
Opposition leader to give his active
support to the cause.
In 1110 few speeches Lturier inede in
the lower province his course has been
made clear. In Ontario Laurier has
dodged the question. But from the
same platforms and iu his presence, his
lieutenant, 'Parte, declared that justice
required this to bo douo and that it
would he douo. Is this thu leader's
'Mire? It not, is Mr. Laurier honest
in permitting his lieutenant to declare
this as his policy without repediation2
Punning with the hare and hunting
with the hounds is Rot considered an
honorable position t be in, and the
people of Ont; rio should not allow
themselves to be put nit' with the non-
comnhital answer that he gave to this
question at Newmarket, Mitchell and
other places. The French Opposition
leader is not ,jhoue'st or candid on a
vital question which seriously affects
the people of Ontario. Laurier should
step down and off the force.
TILE 1205..3 SCANDAL.
Cul. F. B. Leyte, of London, has issu-
ed a writ against lion. G. W. Russ,
'Minister of Eteucalion, fur $97G.
It is alleged that this suns was paid
out in the West Middlesex bye election

THE GREAT MONTREAL MEET-
ING.
Tuesday evening last witnessed the
greatest of all Montreal's groat political
meetings. It was a receptionitendered
to Sir John .Thompson and Itis col-
leagues by the liberal conservatives of
Montreal. No hall could be found in
that great city largo enough to accotu•
modato the vast. audience, so the drill
shod W[1913500. Even its enormous pro-
portions were taxed to the utmost. The
chief address waaof course thel'remier's,
Mr. Laurier and his friends have for
some time barn peratnbulating the
country distorting the facts bearing ou
Canadian politics, and telling nice little
anecdotes. Tuesday night saw a nhas
telly address in which every shred of
Mr. Laurier's arguments was scattered
to the winds.
In eloquent and logical utterance Sir
John Thompson related the facts bear
ing on the Behring, Sea Award, the
Manitoba School Law, the tariff qu 5•_
tion and other matters of public inter.
est. Others followed in clear, concise
addresses, carrying conviction to thoir
hearers.
The effect of the meeting is simply
remarkable. Hundreds of electors who
were doubtful whether or not Mr. Lame
ler and his friends were not the better
mon for the " treasury benches, " went
away mote diaguated with the opposi•
tion principles and leaders, end more
strongly conservative than ever. IN
The Premier and his colleagues are
now in Ontario. The result will, by
alt, ..�-....
placing both sides before the people,
give them ample opportunity of con.
treating the pessimistic grit wail with
the patriotic, energetic, hopeful British
spirit of the Conservatives.
Belleville has made extensive pre-
parations for the reception of Sir John
and colleagues to -morrow- The affair
will be worthy the progressive town.
Town Councils of every political
persuasion have presented addresses to
Sir John and Hon. Mr. Laurier. And
Clinton Council will speak for the
town next Tuesday. This is quite pro-
per.
The following is the statement of
revenue and expenditure for tha first
two months of the current fiscal year:
