_ ALL ARE INVITED.
Ontario's Danger.
---
Ontario enjoys a reputation in the
money centres of the world as a staple,
progressive, well -ordered Province. --
And in these days of financial uneasi-
ness, when every country lies on the
very verge of crisis, we cannot afford
to enter upon a career 'of rash experi-
mental legislation. Capital is sensitive,
never more sensitive than to -day. If
the word should go out that Ontario
had dismissed a safe, prudent, progres-
sive Ailministratioia, thKowa, the c.3onc,
troi of its affairs intochancery, made
government a question of pro rata con-
cessions to antagonistic factions and
elements, and introduced a period of
apprentice, opportunist, unstable legis-
lation, aimed at the professional classes
and established interests the conse-
quences to Ontario would be grave in-
deed. It is easy to work up excitement
on the eve of an election, but every
financier andlevery business man knows
that there is a real danger at hand,
and that Ontario cannot afford to take
"risks with her credit, and cannot afford
to tell the world that in this one coun-
try, where our financial institutions
have stood the storm, and where our
credit has stood firm in the face of
great and widespread disaster in other
countries, we have determined to over-
turn existing conditions and experi-
ment with the -fundamental laws on
which our stability rests. The West-
ern States have experienced just such
conditions and developments as are
threatened in Ontario, and the results
have been disastrous to every class of
the population. In many of these
States the average rate of interest is
• from 10 to 12 per cent., and 8 is the
best rate that can be secured. It is
not too much to say that the farmers
are t he worst sufferers, and that there
they have learned by hard experience
that government is a business that in
an eminent degree requires skill and
training, that taxation will not always
stay where it is placed, and, that the
attempt to punish fin anoint institutions
and cripple corporations by merely
vexatious enactments always reacts
disastrously upon the body of the peo-
ple, and particularly upon the farming
population. We believe there is not a
shadow of hope that the Conservative
party will elect a majority of the next
Legislature. They do not expect that
there will be any such issue from the
contest. The first duty of the country,
therefore, is to take care that a majori-
ty Liberals are again sent back to
Parliament to support a Government
that has always been prudent, but al-
Ways- pyogressive, always eeonomical,
but seldom niggardly, and always
ready to go the full length of public
sentiment in reforming and simplify-
ing the laws, ameliorating the condi-
tion of the masses of the people, pro-
tecting but regulating the profession,
restraining the power and circumscrib-
ing the privileges of corporations, but
maintaining as a first and paramount
duty the credit and good financial re-
pute of the Province.
Mr Mowat is so honest andhis policy
Ito strong, that his bitterest opponents
fail to prove he has done wrong; they
look up his lengthy record, and they
view official acts, but they cannot find
incompetence if they deal with but
the facts. And when they fail to find
good ground on which to base a cry,
they try to work the P.P.A. and also
P. of I. But the people are too honest
and their sentiment to strong to be-
lieve that Mowat is not right, though
ie has ruled so long. And when they
=ark their ballots, as they're going to
do so soon,Mr Mowat should be Pre -
h
)lnier on t13 28t11 of June.
The Ramilton Iferald, an Indepen-
dent Conservative journal, say4 ;—"It
Is a Comparatively easy task to defend
the UONvatAdminietratlont and a rile
they difficult one to attack it on its
merits. Its sins have been few, when
ail is said. and done, and its virtue
plan)+. In a number of respects it has
a record that is unique among govern,
xuents. So well has it withstood the
assaults a the Opposition, that after
all these years no charg of corruption
and dishonesty can be sustained against
it. In an age of corruptton and dis-
honest government this is certainly
something to be proud of."
PERFECTLY GENUINE
Some persons have expressed the op-
inion that the promise of a portion of
the Staveley estate to the Town of
Clinton, is simply an election dodge
and nothing more. Tho t this is not
the case is evident.to any one who will,
/look at the matter just as it stands. -
In December last the town council sent
a petition to the Ontario Government
asking, as Mr. Staveley had made his
money here, and died intestate, that
tha estate, or a portion of it, be used
for the erection of some charitable in-
stitution here. The Attorney -General,
after the matter had passed through
the courts, (as there were other claim-
ants for the estate) approves of the pe-
tition, as the following letter shows :-
DEPARTS:01NT OF ATTORNEY -GENERAL,
Toronto May 28, 1894.
RE STAVELEY ESTATE. - With reference to
the memorial of the Munioipal Council of the
Town of Clinton, I am direotod to say that the
Attorney -General approves of the suggestion
that part of the Staveley estate should be ap-
plied in or towards the establishment, in or near
Clinton, of some institution of a charitable
character, the details to be considered hereafter
Yours truly, J. A. CARTWRIGHT, deputy.
Now, if a petition is presented to a
municipal body, and that body ap-
proves of it, this means that the prayer
of the petition is granted; it cannot
mean anything else. Even if the
terms of the letter above are not as
explicit as some would like, they nev-
ertheless state that a portion of the
estate comes lo this town. That is the
only meaning of the letter, and any
attempt to misconstrue it is uncalled
for. It is very well known here that
Mr Garrow interested himself in the
matter on behalf of Clinton, and that
through his efforts and representations
the Government was doubtless more
easily convinced of the justice of Clin-
ton's claim than they might otherwise
have been. There is no attempt to
make political capital out of the mat-
ter, but common fairness calls for cre-
dit where credit is justly due.
Farrer the Patron's Editor.
The articles on the cost of Govern-
ment, which have lately been a promi-
nent feature of the Farmers' Sun, the
organ of the Patrons of Industry, are
the work of that clever writer, whose
recent series of articles contributed to
the New York Sun would lead our
American cousins to believe that Ca-
nadians were ripe for annexation.
There were 32 farmers in the last
Local House, on One-third of the entire
representation.
The agricultural societies in Huron
have received in grants from the On-
tario Government nearly $47,000.
Six out of the eight .Ontario Cabinet
ministers are farmers' sons, and Mr
clarrow holds thesame relationship, .
The Ontario Government has ex-
pended nearly three million of dollars
in the interests„ of Agriculture. This
does not look as if the agricultural in-
terests had been neglected.
Some people say "We do not want
Mr Mowat defeated, but we want to
seeas, farmer elected." Every vote cast
for a candidate who is not in sympathy
with Mr Mowat's administration, is a
vote of non confidence in Mr Mowat.
Mr Mowat appeals for support on
what he has done as an index of
what he will continue to do. Mr Mere-
dith asks support alone on what he
promises to do. Is there any doubt
which is the fairest test of capacity?
Is there another government in the
world besides the Ontario government
which has a practical and successful
farmer at the head of its Agricultural
department? Hon. Mr Dyden is a suc-
cessful farrier, and still runs his farm
notwithstanding his official position.
Said a Londoner, who was in town,
on Monday: -"I am a supporter of Mr
Meredith, and intend to work for him,
but, all the same, I think he is going
to be defeated. It's no use use denying
it, but a man whose interests are all in
Toronto, has no claim on the London
electors."
The Toronto Newt; publishes an affi-
davit from one Muldoon, who declares
that himself and others, at the last
election in Toronto personated voters
in the interest of the Liberal candi-
dates. Then the first thing to do is to
put Muldoon in jail, as an acknow-
ledged law breaker, and the next is to
punish the other parties implicated, if
the charges are proven, but they are
all denied.
In his speech at Oakville, Hon. Mr
Ross stated that of the $72,000,000
spent by the Government of Ontario
during the last 22 years, $57,00,000 had
been returned to the people in grants,
in aid of charity, of education, of the
administration of justice, and in other
ways, and of the balance not a man
above or below ground could say that
a dollar had been spent corruptly.
The NEW ERA never admitted that
the numbered ballot was a fraud. It
has always claimed that it is a safe-
guard against ballot stuffing, that it is
as absolutely secret as the unnumber-
ed ballot, that it is identical with the
English ballot, and that it has proved
to be generally satisfactory, and our
admission that we would do away with
the numbered ballot does not suggest
that it is wrong. A certain section of
the public think it is wrong, and we
would make the concession to public
opinion, simply to remove what they
regard as a grievance. There is noth-
ing either inconsistent or dishonest in
such a course

The matter of ministerial clutragter and
doctrine. was inquired into, the, only case
rsgairint4 sPecial consideration being that
,Rev Nelson Burns, M.A.., and this in the
matter of clootrinal teaching, The charges
being fully sustained, the only course open
is that he he deposed trona the ministry of
the church. He holds and teaches that the
Holy Soriptures are non-essential; he im-
pugns and discredits the Word of God, and
affirms it is not the only rule and the
sufficient both ot our faith' and praotioe.
He holds and teaches a view of Jesus Christ
whioh makes his divinity practically non-
essential. He ignores the leading doctrines
of Methodism, treating them as non-es-
eential.

plebiscite vote. It refers to the attitude to-
wards this question taken by the Provinoial
Premier and the leader of the Opposition,
and also to Mayor Kennedy's refusal to ac-
cord a public) reception to the representa-
tives of the liquor interest. The committee
recommend the most faithful adherence to
the principle of supporting at the polls,
whether provincial, municipal, etc., only
thorough prohibitionists.

animous vote of the Board he was ask-
ed •to withdraw his resignation, the
Board offer ing him one year's leave of
absence and entire freedom of respon-
sibility from any affairs of the church.

RUM DECANAL.-The Ruri-Decanal
meeting in connection with Huron
Deanery, was held in Goderich, on
Wednesday. The chief mat ter brought
before the meeting was the formation
of a constitution for a Young People's

Deanery, so as to bring about uniform-
ity. A constitution was drawn up and
will he submitted to the various par-
ishes for their approval or disapproval,
and report at Vnext meeting, The ques-
tion of private baptism was taken up,
and it was thought advisable to send a
memorial to His Lordship, the Bishop,
asking him to issue a pastoral to be
read in the various parishes through-
out the Diocese of Huron, exhorting the
peopleto bring their children to church
for the rite of baptism. On invitation
of Rev. Mr Fairlie, the Deanery decid-

ANGLICAN S. S. CONVENTION. -The
church of England S. 3. Association of
the Deanery of Huron met in St.
George's church, school house, Gode-
rich, on Tuesday, delegates being pre-
sent from various parts of the county.
The Rural Dean occupied the chair and
Rev. L. W. Diehl was appointed secre-
tary. The number of scholars reported
is 1083, number of male teachers, 49,
female 89, but this was only by 13 of
the 23 Sabbath schools in the Deanery.
Some discussion took place as to limit-
hig the number of delegates, but no
action was taken, as that would do
away with the true object of the as-
sociation. Mr Robinson, of Wroxeter,
read an excellent paper in "Oatechism
as the basis of church Teaching," and
one on "The qualification of a Sunday
School." Mrs Foster, of Wingham,
read an instructive paper on "Child-
ren's services and how to conduct
them." Mr James Armstrong, Varna,
gave an interesting paper on "Paren-
tal Responsibility." Rev. Mr Turn-
bull, of Goderich, gave an able paper
on "The Bible class." "How to teach
the infant class" and "Promotion in S.
S." were diecused, as were also all the
other subjects. It was decided to hold
the next meeting in Seaforth. The
officers elected are: -Pres., Rev. Mr
Hodgens, Seaforth; Vice.Pres., Mrs
Foster, Wingham; Rec-Sec., Rev. L.
W. Diehl, Clinton; Cor. -Sec., Miss
Brown, Seaforth.
MAY'S UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL.
-The total rainfall during the past
month, as registered at Toronto, has
been the largest on record for the
month of May. The depth now stands
at 8 71 inches, and there is a possibili-
ty of this being increased. On 19 days
of the past 28 rain fell, but on the 19th,
20th and 21st the downpour was the
heaviest, 1.22 inches falling on the
19 th, 1.86 on the 20th and 2.89 on the
21st. In previous Mays the records
show that the nearest approach to this
deluge was in 1888, when 7.67 inches
fell. Last year the fall during May
was 3.38 inches, spread over 18 -da s.
The average rain all for 54 years for
this month has been 2.93 inches.

told crops, and the skies have presented

ed clouds. It is a season of climate dis-
turbance all around.

gi us pleuro-pnetimonia as are also the

ture, will not see his way clear to discon-
tinue the embargo on Canadian cattle.
