• A great deal has been said about the
"judicial fairness" and political honesty
of Sir John Thompson, but there has
been no evidence of it whatever in his
`treatment of his opponents. The ap-
parent effort of the Government to
buck all investigation of alleged wrong-
doing shows neither "political honesty"
;or "judicial fairness."
It is said that the Dominion Govern-
ment propose to gerrymander Quebec
during the present session. A reslis-
tribution of seats took place two years

..sanctioned by the House, the people
rfshould resent it in every possible way,
I(; is time that the use of the gerry-

sway with.

QNP:4L.1 O ELUO .`IONS,
the OtltariQ Legislature has been dis-
solved, and writs have been lamed for
a new election to be held: on Tuesday,
,Jeno 20, the nomination to be held a
weelt earlier. The Reform party
throughout the Province .should now
enter upon the campaign in earnest,
and put in 40 days of hard. active work
for the maintenance of the able, honest,
economical administration of Sir Oliver
Mowat.
The electors now receive back the
trust confided in Sir Oliver Mowat and
hie colleagues on June 5, 1890. The
question that every unprejudiced and
honest citizen should , ask himself is,
Has the record of the Government in
that tune been such as entitles it to a
renewal of public confidence ? And if
an answer to that question is impar-
tially sought, the Government need
have no fear as to theresult of the
casting of the ballots. The four years
that have elapsed since last election
have but added to the splendid record
of efficiency, capacity, wisdom, consci-
entiousness and equal treatment of all
classes of our people that have charac-
terized Reform administration in Pro-
vincial affairs for the eighteen years
that preceded them.
The candidates who will bear the
standard of the party in the various
constituencies of the Province may go
on the platforms to meet their oppo-
nents with perfect equanimity, for
there is not an accusation against the
Government that has not been effectu-
ally disposed of during the session that
has just closed. In those questions of
policy that admit of plausible differ-
ences of opinion, the Government was
in each instance able to establish a
strong case in favor of the course
which was adopted.
The personal strength ot the Admin-
istration was never more conspicuous
than during the Parliament that has
just been dissolved, and never more
striking in that period than during the
session just closed. It includes a num-
ber of public men of whom the people
of the Province may justly be proud,
and the Reform party may, without
any impropriety, challenge comparison
with the men on the opposite side of
the ,House to whom. the people of On-
tario are asked to entrust their affairs.
If ever a party went into a contest
feeling that they had a patriotic duty
to perform in striving for the renewed
success of an honored leader, that party
is the Reform party of the Province of
Ontario, and that time is now. We
say in all sincerity, and with a perfect
sense of the meaning of the words,
that the defeat of the Mowat Govern-
ment on the 20th of June would be rt
severe blow to the Province, and give
occasion for believing that the electors
are indifferent as to how their affairs
are carried on, and but little concerned
to show their appreciation of the able
andfaithful services of one of the most
distinguished public men in the Do-
minion. It is because we do not think
that that is<the character of the people
of Ontario that we entertain the faith
that they will retain in office the men
from whose services they have bene-
fitted so much in the past. Overcon-
fidence, however, would be a mistake,
and it is, therefore, fair to ask that
every man who values the fair fame
for clean government that this Pro-
vince has earned will actively charge
himself to do whatever he can to assure
the success of Sir Oliver Mowat and
the continuance of his unrivalled ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Pro-
vince. -Globe.
Bleeding the Manufacturers.
The Montreal Herald takes the view
that the action of the government in
first of allprofessing to lower the duties,
and then restore them afterwards to
their original standing, was for no
other purpose than to compel manu-
facturers to "put up shekels" for elec-
tion purposes. This may be a correct
or incorrect view to take, but the ac-
tion of the government is suggestive,
to say the very least, This is what
the Herald says:-
"If
ays:"If the motives of the Government
could be laid bare -as they can be in
part by putting known facts together
-it would be found that the reduction
of the tariff was designed with no oth-
er object than to screw by compulsion
out of the manufacturers a corruption
fund very much larger than could be
obtained from them by the most fer-
vent suasion. Certain contributory
sources of exceeding richness in the
past have been dried up since the last
election, and with a hard campaign
before them the Government some
time ago found its future overdarken-
ed. Its brilliant coup of reducing the
duties and forcing the manufacturers
to come to terms before replacing them
at the old figures has filled the empty
strong box of the party to repletion,
and the Government is rapidly getting
itself in a position to enter on a cam-
paign of "education." "
We bare told that some of the Patrons
hereabouts have been sending to To-
ronto recently for their goods. Tat
is about how touch they care for the
towns and Magee, and yet Mr •oil•

ReAn'ni 1ieeting8 in Huron
1•u the course .of the next week or two a
series ot meetings will be held in West
Huron, in the interest of the etttink mem-
ter for the Legislature- .F. T, Garrow. So
far our friend the Patron candidate bas.
been having things praoticelly to ul.imeelf,
but hereafter, and until the close of the
campaign, Mr Garrow is prepared to see
and be4seen of his friends aver the riding,
on every platform, s0 far as the time at
his disposal would permit.
We learn, also, that he has secured a
promise from the Hon. John Dryden, Com
missioner of Agriculture for Ontario, to as-
sist in the campaign in the last week of
May. Two meetings will be held by the
hon. gentlemen, one at Dungannon and the
other at a point to be chosen hereafter.
A meeting at Dungannon will be much
appreciated, as a large agricultural popu-
lation can easily attend a meeting held
at that point, and the eoeomodation of the
village for holding a mass meeting is equal
to the best in the country. -Signal.
Wingham. District Meeting.
The May meeting of Wingham Dis-
trict, of the Methodist church, was
held in the Methodist church, Blyth,
on Tuesday last, all the ministerial and
lay representatives being present. S.
Sellery, B.D„was in the chair. Rev T.
W. Cosens was appointed Secretary,
and Rev. J. H. Dyke, assistant. The
moral and religious character of the
ministers and probationers was passed
as satisfactory. Mr W. A. Smith, of
Brussels, a probationer, of one year's
standing, was recommended to be con-
tinued at college, as a probationer.
W. J. Ashton was recommended by
Wroxeter church as a candidate for
the ministry, and the district endorsed
the recommendation to Conference.
Revs. Kerr and Paul, of Brussels, and
Mills, of Toronto, were continued in
their present superannuation relation.
A resolutionwas presented from
Walton circuit asking that Jackson
appointment, now connected with
Blyth, be restored to Walton, which it
was claimed was much in need of as-
sistance; an animated and prolonged
discussion followed, but the -natter
was defeated on a vote. A resolution
from Londesboro circuit, asking per-
mission to close up Ebenezer appoint-
ment, was endorsed to Conference.
Rev. Geo. Buggin was elected as repre-
sentative to the Stationing Committee.
Rev. J. A. McLachlin was elected to
the S. S. Committee; Rev. G. H. Coh-
bledick to the Epworth League Com-
mittee, and Dr. Towler to the Mission-
ary Committee.
The returns from circuits were as

siderable decrease in the total amount
of money raised. The total amount
raised tor ministerial support on the
district was $6872, in increase of $62.
Laurier tit Pembroke.
Messrs Laurier, Fraser, Choquette and
Landerkin went out from Ottawa to Pem-
broke to address the electors of Renfrew
on Monday. Mr Laurier said that . the
question of all questions was the question
of taxation. The Liberals held that taxa -
bion in itself was an evil, end that no Gov-
ernment bad any right to take anything
from the earnings of the people, exoept
that which was necessary to oarry on the
business of the country. "I went to build
up the industries of the country just as
much ae the Minister of Finance doss, bub
I do not want the induebriee of the country
to be extended at the expense of your or my
pooket. If they are to be developed by
dutiee, well and good, but I object to tak-
ing money out of the pookebs of one class
of the people and patting it into the pockets
of another class. I pall this robbery:
They call it protection." Mr Laurier
closed with the following reference to the
Ontario elections:-
You
lections:You baye an election in the Province of
Ontario, and we ask you for your suppoi
for that little giant, Sir Oliver Mowat.
Stand firm by the man who has given to
the Province of Ontario a Government
which is the envy of all civilized nations, a
Government which has existed for 22 year.,
and a Government against which -you c zn-
not bring a breath of scandal. I ask your
support for that Government, and then
go back to ask that when the greater strug-
gle shall comes you will give us your as-
sistance in the cause of freedom of trade."
Mr Fraser's Speech.
Hon. D.C. Fraser spoke at Pembroke, on
Monday. Of all the greedy, unsanotified
things in this world, Mr Fraser deolared,
protection was the greediest. For fifteen
years this country. through the Minister
of Finance, had been nursing and codd-
ling a great, swaddling, blubbering, kinking,
fat infant, which was now old enough to
stand on its own feet. One reason why Mr
Fraser was opposed to protection 'wee that
it put Canadian people in the position of
being meaner than those from whom they
were sprung, who were courageous enough
to throw open their ports to she whole
world. He pointed out the supreme folly
of trying to make people rich by taxatioi
Referring to Sir Oliver Mowat, he said,
"You will assist that grand old man when
election day comes by showing by yapr
votes that yon appreciate the service lie
has rendered his country and the cause of
Liberalism. There is a man who has done
his duty well and faithfully. The whole ,
question for yon to answer is thio: Hiss
the Government of that good man been in
the interest of Ontario, and has he so ruled
that the resources of thisreat Province
have been husbanded? The answer is
plainly that he has done so. Who can take
Sir Oliver Mowat'e plane? Those who say
they can ought to knov";:etter." Mr Fras-
er bespoke another great triumph for the
Government of Sir Oliver Mowat.

ment, of the Methodist church, at pre-

at all. •
Rev. J. W. Pring, of Bluevale
Methodist church, has been invited to
remain there another year. The Rev.
gentleman gave an affirmative reply
to the Board, and in nicely chosen
words stated that his greatest ambi-
tion was to preach the Gospel of
Christ and work for the salvation of
souls.
The proposed basis of union between
the two Methodist churches in town,
was voted on last Wednesday evening,
and defeated in both churches. The
night was very unfavorable, and the
attendance was not what it would
otherwise have been, but it is aquestion
an increased attendance would have if
altered the vote. In Rattenbury St.
church the vote stood 44 for and 58
against. In Ontario St. the vote st:.od
28 for and 37 against. The vote at
Turner's church was 23 against and 3
for.
The Salvation Army, Clinton, has
just held three days very successful
meetings, conducted by Capt. Cream-
er, of Bayfield. The meetings were
fairly attended, and became a source
of blessing and inspiration to all who
took part. Monday night being the
closing of the special services,they held
a musical jubilee, conducted by the
Wingham grass Band, assisted by the
officers and soldiers of the Bayfield,
Goderich and the Clinton corps; they
closed the meetings rejoicing in seeing
six precious souls step from darkness
into light. The meetings proved suc-
cessful both spiritually and finanually
all. Many thanks to all friends who
helped in them.
TALES FROM THE TROUT STREAMS.
-The exceptionally fine weather has
rendered trout fishing a popular past -
time this season. Every little brook
infested by these tricky denizens of our
inland streams affords ample sport for
lovers of the art of angling, and many
and various are the tales (and tails)
produced in evidence. Judging from
the newspaper reports, trout is not
only plentiful this year but the orae is
also a matter for congratulation, there
being numerous instances of catches
in. which someof the fish tipped the
scales at three pounds. The law limits
the quantity to be taken by any per-
son to 15 lbs., and instances have been
recorded as exceeding that limit.
Then certain parties are in the habit of
going out on Sunday, a thing tht1
should know better than tojdo.

CORNER STONE. -The laying of the
corner stone of the new Methodist
Church in this village will take place
on Thursday next, commencing at 2.30
o'clock. Several prominent men are
expected to take part in the exercises, °
and in addition to resident clergymen
it is expected that Revs. J. E.'Howell,
Goderich; W. McDonagh, Exeter, and
J. W. Holmes, Clinton, will be present,
and deliver addresses. A free-will con-
tribution will be taken up in the after-
noon. In the evenin a tea will be
served on Mr Cole's lawn. Very in-
teresting services are looked for, and the
cause of Methodism was never more
bright or encouraging here than it is
just now.
Colborne
A correspondent writes as follows:-
Sixty years ago this coming summer
might be marked as the general settle-
ment of this township by its first pio-
neers, who, like the forest of trees, are
few now. The few pioneers can look
back and see many changes, and the
vast progress to the front Colborne
has made during that space of time.
An effort might be made to have a
general gathering of the residents of
the township, say at the Point Farm,
for a gala day's amusement, strength•
ened with a grant from the township's
coffers, by the council, so as to have a
jubilee of rejoicing and a real time of
pleasure together. With the excep-
tion of agricultural shows no grants
have been made, we think, in Colborne,
outside its annual expenses, and no
ratepayer would grumble at a reason-
able grant to promote a general day
of pleasure to mark sixty years ago.

Mr A. P. Soott, ex-county�udge of Peel,
The air is full of political rumors of

Moss, Q.C., if elected tor South Toron-
to, is to succeed Mr Mowat as Premier,
is about the silliest and most unlikely.
When Mr Mowat retires Mr Hardy
will become Premier, (assuming, of
course, that the Liberal party is in
power) and whatever some people may
say to the contrary, notwithstanding,
11 will be found that he has all the
ues necessary for the position.
`On this point the Toronto Nowa says:-
"One thing at least may be relied upon,
and that is that a dy will make the hard-
est kind of kink efore he resigns his title
to the Premiershi in favor either to Moss
or anyone else. And he will have cause
