was a total of 6185 licenses, against 2,816
in 1893, showing how the Ontario Gav-
el n ment has curtailed t he liquor traffic.
The statement circulated that Mr
Garrow did not vote on the quest•iuu
of the abolition of Government House
is untrue. The proposition of the Op•
position was to , abolish it three years
hence, a pure piece of clap -trap, and
nothing else. Mr Garrow voted in
'favor of postponing action until a new
parliament was elected.
FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1894.
House of Refuge.
After persistent fighting at every
meeting of the County Council for
severa3,y*ears, after every jury present -
/
after the newspapers have
strengthened public opinion relative
to the humane treatment of the aged
and infirm, the County Domicil of
, Huron has wisely decided on the erec-
tion of a House of Refuge, and the
Site selected by the. committee, adja-
cent to the town of Clinton, has been
secured for the purpose. It is needless
to say that We think the council has
acted wisely in corning to the decision
it has. Public sentiment is assuredly
in favor'of proper care of the friend-
less, and it has in various ways so ex-
pressed.itself.
We are glad that the site adjacent
to Clinton has been selected. t is in
every way the best of those offered
and will contribute in some degree,
however small or large, to the well-
being of the town.
Both Messrs McMurchie and Ken-
•nedy did their very utmost in behalf
of Clinton; they had a hard fight, and
the Reeve, in particular, as a member
of the House of Refuge Committee,
contributed not a little to the ultimate
'success of the action. A strenuous ef-
fort was made to secure it at Seaforth,
and considerable lobbyingwas indulged
in, but all to no purpose, the central
location of Clinton outweighing all
other considerations, and we gladly
•accord our representatives the honor
that is due them.
The site having been secured, the
contract will be let during next winter,
and the building is to be completed
and ready for occupation by the 1st of
October, 1895.
Beware of the Danger,
:Mi Meredith has so •few candidates
in the field that it is impossible that he
'can carry the Province, and he could
get power by no other means than by
a "combination." His government
would be inharmonious and unstable.
• There is grave fear that in order to
hold together, the men who are attack-
`-ing;.the professions, and shouting for
decentralization, and denouncing the
corporations, an breeding suspicion of
-legitimate comtn cial operations, mea-
sures far more radical and far more
• revolutionary than justice demands or
sound policy sanctions would he forced
through the Legislature, to the grave
tinsel Cling of all established interests,
to. the injury of our credit, and to the
very special peril of the great natural
industries of the country—agric•al]ture
-' in all its branches, raining and lumber-
. ing. The effect of srtc•h notice to the
world . of investors in England and
'other tnonetar•y centres, as the dismis-
sal of Sir Oliver Mowat. distinguished
as his administration is, quite its 1)111('11
for its safe and prudent management
of Ontario's affairs as for its extraordi-
nary duration of nearly a quarter of a
century, would be disastrous in the
extreme upon the business of the coun-
try. Nothing more unfortunate could
happen to Ontario than the accession
!••'-• to power of a government representing
unsympathetic and incongrous ele-
men ts.
Mowat makes the British Em-
pire's Best Record.
The longest continuous record in the
annals of British Parliamentary Gov-
ernment is that of the first Pitt Minis-
try, which remained in power for over
seventeen years. The Mowat Govern-
ment has exceeded his record by five
years, or twenty-two years in all.
Out of every.$6 spent by the On-
, tario Government, $1 goes to educa-
tional purposes.
Mr E. Gaunt, jr., of St. Helens, has
been nominated by the Patrons of
West Huron, as their candidate for
the Dominion House. He was former-
ly a Liberal, and is said to be a strong
Man on the platform.
• The Presbyterian Review thinks that
"if Mr Mowat is knifed by his former
friends who think more about cheese -
paring the daily allowance of a lunatic
han saving one-half the domain'of
the Province," it is mighty poor re-
- cognition of a public mans services,
and so it is.
Mr J. T. Garrow has proved himself
a good, faithful representative of a
good government. As a farmer's son
Ire is acquainted with the farmer's
Wants. Having municipal and par-
Xiannentary experience, he would go to
Toronto familiar with legislation, and
' In position to form judgment on all
*natters relating hereto. He has been
fttblicly before the people of Huron
or a number of years, and asks for
inti ppoort on his own merits and those
Of he government of Mr Mowat.
If there are any voters who intend
to withdraw their confidence fr oto sup-
port of Mowat candidates, they should
consider where such a course will lead
them. It does not mean simply the
election of candidates that may be in-
dependent, but it may mean the elec-
tion of persons who will do their ut-
most to put Mr Mowat out. Persons
who profess to be supporters of Mr
Mowat, and then vote against Mowat
candidates, are short-sighted, and fail
to realize the danger they may cause a
good and honest government.
If men are to be judged upon their
merits,. there should not be any doubt
whatever about the return of Mr Mow-
at to power, by a good, substantial ma-
jority. Hellas looked after and guard-
ed the interests of Ontario, as zealous-
ly as any man could. When there was
a conflict between the Province and the
Dominion, Mr Mowat has always
fought, and fought successfully, on be-
half•of the Province. Notwithstanding
the allegations to the contrary, his ad•
ministration has been free from cor-
ruption and official wrong -doing, and
on that ground if no other, he deserves
the support of every than who wishes
to see the country governed honestly,
A peculiar phase of the election is
the fact that in this county there is
not a straight out-and-out Conserva-
tive running in any of the three con-
stituencies. There are three life-long
Liberals in the field, but their oppon-
ents are "an uncertain quantity." The
Liberal in the East is opposed by a
Liberal; in the South the Liberal is op-
posed by a man who is for the time -
being a Conservative, but has hitherto
been a Liberal, while in the West Rid-
ing the Liberal candidate is opposed
by one who has always been a Conser-
vative, but now announces himself "as
sjckand . tired.. .of ,his --old party, and
Simply a Patron."

Inetead of giving the valiant is in full, we
give a summary of all that is of inublio in-
terest. A communication from Goderioh
school board, relative to inspection of
sohools and fees paid since July 1st, 1891,
was referred to the Education Committee,
which recommended a rebate of about $195
a year. South, East and West Huron
Farmers' Institutes asked for usual annual
grants, and $25 was passed to eaoh, and
also to the Teachers' Institutes.
The sum of $10 was ordered to be paid to
Rev,,,A.-17arriere,- for livery, caused- by
loss of Grand Bend bridge and $10 to J.

the Riding Agricultural Societies holding a
fair this year.
The Secretary of the County Board of
Examiners was allowed 575 a year salary,
being the same as. formerly paid to the
late P. Adamson.
In view of the expenses incurred in tra-
velling, a motion to give Road Commis-
sioner Ainsley an additional 5100 salary
was left over until next meeting.
COLLEGIATE CLAIMS. —A communication
from Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth Col-
legiate Institutes, relative to alleged arrear -
ages due these Institutes, was ,referred to
the Special Committee. The committee
reported that after giving the matter their
best consideration they had arrived at the
conclusion that the claims were unfounded,
the county having paid all it is legally liable
for. A motion to give Clinton 52,300 ar-
rearages; Goderioh, 52,373; Seaforth 52,710,
was lost. It was decided to leave the mat-
ter of the proportionate amount to be paid
by the county to Collegiate Institutes, for
the maintenance of county pupils,be left to
Judge Toms. The report was adopted.
SCHOOL MATTERS.—'I'he.award from arbi-
trators re sohool diffioulty near Auburn,

the formation of a union sohool to be made
up in lots in Hullett and East and West
Wawanosh. An appeal was also entered
by S. S. No. 5, Hullett, against the award,
that nothing be done. These were both re-
ferred to the Education Committee, which
recommended that the letter be filed, and
no action taken.

of the alleged arrearages due the Collegiate
Institutes.

mended payment of a number of accounts.
In reference to a statement from Morris,

mended that no action be taken. The es-

less receipts of 53,800.51, requiring a rate
of 14 mills on the dollar of the equalized

`This report gave rise to a pretty amin-
ated discussion, during whioh several
amendments were proposed, but none of
there curried.. Mr D. D, Wilson, of Sea -
forth, bad offered his property as a site,
end the Seaforth representatives were na-
turally desirous that it be considered and
entertained.
The House of Refuge Committee, there-
fore, on Friday, went to Seaforth to ex-
amine the property of Mr Wilson, but it
was not considered suitable on a000unt of
its lunation, eto., and the committee re-
ported that this offer be not accepted.
The original report was then adopted al-
most unanimously. It was decided that
the comtnittee be increased by the addition
of Messrs Cook and McDonald, that the
oommittee-oomplete the- pnroh a—otthe
property selected forthwith, that they ad-
vertise for tenders for the erection of a
building on the plane selected, to be built

before the 1st of October of that year. The
County Treasurer was instructed to place
to the credit of the House of Refuge Com-
mittee the sum of 52600 for the purpose of
purchasing the site chosen, said money to
be paid as committee may direct. A by-
law was passed in accordance herewith.

So far the Liberals have put up 76
straight candidates in the 94 constituencies.
The Conservatives will oppose them
straight in 58, while the Patrons are fight-
ing for 47 seats. There are also 18 inde-
pendent candidates in the field, including
Mr Campbell, of East Durham. Yet in
only 13 ridings are three -cornered fights
going to take place. In 30 constituencies
the fight is between the two old parties, in
18 the Patrons are opposing Liberals, and
in 5 they are opposing Conservatives. In
each of 6 constituencies there is yet but
one candidate. Of these the Patrons have
the field in 3, the Conservatives in 2, and
the Liberals in 1. Of the 18 independents
4 only are in three -cornered fights.

Mr Garrow's speech in the town hall,
Clinton, Wednesday evening, was a manly,
sincere and straightforward expression of
his position in the present campaign. He
alluded to the peculiar nature of the present
contest, in the fact that his opponent had
repudiated his old party, and he, therefore,
had as much right to expect Conservative
support as Mr Connolly. He was opposed
to the election of officers, on principle, as
he did not believe the country should be in
a constant turmoil, and men who owed
their position to the people would not be as

were appointed. He was willing to fight
the Patrons openly and squarely, but did
not believe in Grand Lodge dictation, and
fighting behind tyled doors. The Patron
movement was a dangerous one, as soon as
it entered the political arena, because it
sought for class legislation, Personally he
had nothing against Mr Connolly, but he
thought his own parliamentary and muni-
cipal experience were qualifications that
should appeal with some force to the elec-
torate. Referring to finances, he said that
all the Provinces started with a clean sheet
at Confederation. Quebec's debt now is
twenty' -four millions of dollars and that
province has to raise yearly one and a -half
millions to pay interest. Ontario has not
a cent of debt. Quebec's money bas been
criminally y squandered. Ontario has a sur-
plus of assetts of something like four id}il-
lion and a half omitting its railway debt.
He then quoted Prof. Grant on Sir Oliver's
ability. And why did Grant say this?
Just because Sir Oliver has sat so solidly
on the strong box and kept the thieves
away. Sheer mismanagement, criminal
carelessness brought Quebec to her present
dondition. Mr Mowat bad proved himself
the ablest constitutional lawyer in Canada,
and had fought Ontario's claims at the
Privy Council, winning every appeal. Mr
Garrow score& some good points and was
frequently applauded. Mr Forrester also
made an address, and the meeting closed
with three cheers for the Queen and Mr
Garrote.
