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 .Conferenco. rrOccedin10/ Delow is given a eqramar7 of the pro- eeedinge of Guelph COnfer.erate 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. The committee on conference relatione reoomnaended the following oases jor au,per- emanation relation: Revs R. Godfrey, of Harmony; H. A. Newcombe, of Ethel; J. H. Watts, of Henfryn, and Findlay M. Smith, of Elmwood. These were all passed by the conference. The conference temperanoe meeting was held on Wednesday, in the North street church, the president in the choir. Appro- priate addresses were delivered by Rev J. A. MoLaohlin, M.A., and D. A. Moir, S.T.L. Mr 0. U. P. • Chittiok was dropped in silence for irregular withdrawal from the work. A. E. Henderson was recommended to college. Wesley J. Magwood, G. C. Balfour, G. W. Johnstone, Oeo. McKinley, B. D., and Martin J. Wilson were accepted, as proba- tioners of three years. J. H. MoBairi, B.A., H. B. Christ, H. S. Mage, F. W. Thomp- son and A. C. Tiffin rare aooepted as pro- bationers of two years. W. H. Graham, J. D. Richardson, G. T. A. Willoughby, W. C. Caswell, R. 7. Mclntry, W. A. Smith, Robt. Kefer, R. Irwin, J. Kitching, D. B. Neeley, Geo. Smitherman, V. J. Gilpin and John H. Doyle were all aooepted, though in some oases the studies must be completed before their standing be given. Chas. W. Carson was permitted to retire from the work on account of ill health. Rev James McAllister was elected presi. dent on the first ballot. His opponents were Dre. Willoughby and Henderson. Rev E. A. Chown was elected secretary, and Revs F. E. Nugent and 3. Sellery, as- sistant secretaries, and Rev J. MoLaohlin, M.A., journal secretary. On Friday the president called upon the young men who had been recommended to be received into the conference and ordain- ed. The following responded :-John 3. Humphreys, Francis M. Mothers, Walter H. Treleaven and Henry J. Harnwell, each of whom addressed the conference and was formally received. Their ordination took place on Sunday morning, nififf�tion being introduced in connection with it, by the assistance of Rev Dr. Ure, of the Pres- byterian church. It is said that each of the four will be married inside of two months, one of the four having hie intend- ed at the service with him, in bridal array. The conference love feast, on Sunday opened at 9 o'clock a.m., under the leader- ship of Rev Geo. Richardson, and was a service of interest and profit. At 10:45 the doors were thrown open and the church filled to its utmost. The preacher was the general superintendent, Dr. Carman, and the sermon eminently suited to the occasion. At 4:15 a mass meeting was held in the temperance hall, which was addressed by Revs Wm. Ball and H. D. Moyer, who strongly emphasized the importance of prohibitionists withholding all support from political candidates who will not pledge themselves to support prohibition. A memorial was presented to Conference on Menday, that the General Conference be memorialized to make no change in the boundaries of Guelph Conference; also a memorial in re the abolition of quarterly tickets. The temperance committee's report calls attention to the favorable issue of the 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. The statistical report shows total amount raised during the year, 812,752.31; the value of church property in the Conference up- wards of $1,001,962; total debt of 8160,061. The increase of membership in the Confer- ence is 812.

Dr. Sutherland has been unable through illness to take either his pas- toral or pulpit work during the past six months, and his physicians having given him no hope of recovery for some months at least, he thought it in the interest of the church that he should resign his pastorate. By a un- 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. Dr. Sutherland was the pastor of Rat- tenbury St. Methodist church, Clin- ton, a few years ago.
