Bishop, the pioneer, is now of very
sore heart, Mr, McLean knows that
the 1'Atrons of Smith. Huron will
shortly unset in convention for the put-
pose of nominating a candidate, lUe
doffs his partisan politiee1l hat, extends
both arms and spreads both legs in the
new role. 13e' wants the vote of the
Patrons and endorses their platform
While he is the nominee of a Grit and
partisan convention pledged to sup-
port Sir Oliver Mowat. The Patrons
are dirootly opposed to the Mowat
Government on many vital points.
Mr, McLean is a spreadeagle just now
and condemns the Dominion Govern-
ment so that the Patrons may be whip-
ped into line and wreck ail order of
which he says he knows nothing about.
We take it that the Patrons of Industry
are not fools. If they can support
the nominee of a Grit convention
opposed to thein their usefulness is
gone. Mr. Weismiller has loug been
pledged to the vital points in their
principles. He is pledged to them to-
day. Ile always has been. The Pat-
rons and Mr. Meredith's followers
have so far been victorious in electing
their nominees. Mr. McLean, the
pledged Mowat nominee of the par-
tisan convention surely cannot play
the double game and support Mr.
Meredith. When he says in effect
that lir can the electors should be
warned of•the infamous pithole that he
would dump them and their principles
in, because he is for Mowat. Mr. Mc-
Lean is a staunch supporter of the
Mowat Government. He has said so
for years. The electors of Stanley
know that he swallowed his professed
temperance principles and stood by
Gritisrn a few years ago. This matter
is of public record. The game is on
again, but we do not believe that it
will succeed. The Mowat candidate
for South Huron has proven by his
own words that he is a political trick-
ster of the professional stamp. If he
succeeds in the present scheme and
secures the vote of the Patrons 'of In-
dustry the principles and good of the
Order in South Huron will be wrecked
for all time to e .ane. Such a barefaced
double game should never succeed with
honest men.
THE DOMINION OF CANADA.
• We have received a copy of the
"Official Handbook of Information re-
lating to the Dominion of Canada."
The work is published by the Govern-
ment of Canada (Department of the
Interior) with the approval of Her
Majesty's Secretary of State for the
Colonies. On the second page of cover
is a handsome colored plate of the
Arms of the Dominion and' of the
Provinces of Canada.
The area of Canada is given as 3,456,-
383 square miles, which includes1140,-
736 square miles of water. For the in-
formation of our readers, we may state
that Canada is nearly as large as the
whole of Europe, and about 500,000
square miles larger than the United
States. The Handbook is a very import-
ant; though condensed, work, and
should be in the hands of every citi-
zen.
The Handbook makes the important
statement that "there is no State
Church in ,Canada and the utmost
religious liberty prevails." except i
Quebec, and that "adherents of any of
the established denominations will
have no difficulty in finding congenial
church society." The Handbook deals
with Government Constitution, Muni-
cipal System, Education, Justice,
Courts, Military, Municipal Police,
Naturalization, Postal System, Money
Order, Telegraphs, Newspaper Press,
Social Conditions, Climate. Railways,
Canals, Revenue, Public Debt, Imports,
Exports, Mines, Fisheries, Forest,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Banking,
and a vast amount of other useful in-
formation to those at home and
abroad.
The Handbook contains nearly 100
-pages of reading in concise. form.
At the close there is a very intelligible
• chart showing Canada in geographical
relation with Europe and the United
States.
On the whole the work reflects great
•credit on the Hon. T. Mayne Daly,
Mifiister of the Interior. With proper
,distribution it will not only enlighten
our own people, but place our country
in a true and concise form before the
whole civilized world. The Hand-
book deserves a more expensive
cover, as it will no doubt be
preserved by all classes of peo-
ple for many years to conte. An
extensive distribution of the work tit
hone and abroad is highly necessary
and expense or labor should not be
spared in doing so. The whole truth
about Canada rs none to bad for the
whole world to know, for we have the
brightest and most prosperous heritage
under the broad and shining heavens.
Hon. T. M. Daly is a credit and an
honor to the Governrnent of Canada
and the United British Empire.

dismissed the Charge that Roman
Qathol ce were getting more than
their share of patronage in the
public offices of Ontario. He de,
need this charge emphatically, as-
serting, on the contrary, that
Roman Catholics would have just
,grou.zd for complaining, because they
had a smaller number of such. public
offices than their proportion to the
population might entitle thein to,
while in respect to the matter of sal-
aries they were in still greater dispro-
proption to their numbers. ' Sir Oliver
strongly condemend the whole P. P.
A. movement. Sir Oliver then discuss-
ed the Patrons of Industry. He ex-
pressed regret that an organization,
with whose general aims he was so
much in sympathy, should antagonize
the Reform party on such comparative-
ly unimportant questions as that of
the appointment and payment of
county officials. He objected to the
plank of the Patrons in favor
of the election of county officials.
It could hardly, •he thought, fail to
lead to the election of judges in the
end, as it has done in the States,
and he felt sure the people of Ontario
would never wish to see this become
the practice here. As to the payment
by salary instead of by fees, It was a
much discussed question, but both
parties in the past had considered
the fee system the preferable one, on
the ground both of economy and effici-
ency. He still 3onsidered it to be of
advantage to the Province in these re-
spects. Ho pointed out that he was not
responsible for the system, but had simp-
ly allowed it to continue because he
considered it the best.
SIR OLIVER, THE DODGER.
Sir Oliver Mowat's apologists, among
them our town cotem., are making
many excuses in advance for his refusal
—which has been determined upon—to
grant any measure of temperance re-
form during the coining session of the
legislature. It is certain that the vast
majority of those who voted for pro-
hibition on New Year's day did so in
the belief that something practical
would follow. They believed, the
Hamilton Spectator says very properly
and truthfully, that if the province
should favor prohibition the Ontario
government would grant such measure
of prohibition or restriction as it has
power to grant. A speaker the other
day told his hearers that if the vote
should be in the affirmative, the bar-
rooms would he closed before the end
of February. The opinion which he
held might have been a little extrava-
gant, but it was substantially in line
with the opinion which the great mass
of temperance people entertained.
They believed that, by submitting the
plebiscite to the electors Sir Oliver had
substantially pledged himself to obey
the will of the electors. Certainly
that was his moral obligation. If he
did not intend to follow up the plebis-
cite with legislation he deceived, in-
sulted and outraged the public. To
give thein a plebiscite without any in-
tention of giving them any measure of
temperance reform was but mocking
them and deluding there.
The dodge behind which Sir Oliver's
apologists are trying to shelter them-
selves is that of pretending that the
vote of the people of Ontario was a
command, not to the Ontario legisla-
ture, but to the Dominion parliament,
to pass a prohibitory law. The ques-
tion submitted to the people, they say,
was whether they desired total prohibi-
tion of the manufacture, sale or impor-
tation in or into the province of all in-
toxicating liquors. Now, they go on,
the legislature has no power to forbid
absolutely the manufacture, sale and
importation of intoxicating liquors in
or into the province. Therefore the
people must have desired the parlia-
ment to grant them the reform they
favored. That is very lame reasoning.
The people did not trouble themselves
about constitutional matters at all.
They did not stop to ask where the.
power to legislate resided. They saw
a question before them, and they voted
on it. They voted for prohibition be-
lieving that the government which sub-
mitted the question for their decision
would give them such measure of pro-
hibition or restriction as it had power
to give. For Sir Oliver now to say
that the question he put before the
people was total prohibition and that
the legislature had not power to en-
force total prohibition is to say that he
prepared in advance for evasion .and
deception by trick and device. • Cun-
ning of that order is to be looked for
in the lowest class of ward politicians.
Does Sir Oliver wish his temperance
friends to understand that it is the pol-
icy on which Christian statesmen gov-
en provinces?
The pretense that the plebiscite is a
command to the Dominion parliament
to enact a prohibitory law is wholly un-
founded. Members of parliament are
quite able to ascertain the wishes of
their constituents for themselves, and
to govern themselves accordingly.
Members of parliament are quite as
closely in touch with the people as
members of the legislature. When
parliarnent takes action it will do so of
its own motion and will not take its
orders from Sir Oliver Mowat. For the
premier of Ontario to ask the people of
the province to order the parliament of
Canada to take any action whatever
would be a piece of impertinence. Be-
sides, if the plebiscite were addressed to
the parliament it would have only the
force which one province out of seven
gives it. Quebec has not asked for
prohibition. Nor has Nova Scotia, nor
New Brunswick, nor British Columbia.
In the largest province and two of the
smallest the people have voted for pro-
hibition. But they are not the people
of Canada. The parliament will no
doubt deal with the temperance ques-
tion as the people of of the Dominion
desire. That is a thing apart. In the
meantime, Sir Oliver Mowat has ob-
tained the opinion of the people of
Ontario, and it is his duty to comply
with shear wishes.
The only gleam of sunshine Hon. Mr.
Hardy has seen for many a day was
when the Buffalo Express recently
nominated him to succeed Sir Oliver.
But when Mr. Hardy's Buffalo con-
stituents discover that he has been a
"life-long prohibitionist," they will
probably go hack on him with astonish-
ing promptness.

Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High
Commissioner in London, speaking in
Wolverhampton last Wednesday even-
ing, emphasized the mutual necessity
that Great Britain and her colonies
should preserve the unity of the Em-
pire. Separation of the colonies wonld
diminish materially the Empire's great-
ness, be said, and would cause the
colonies to suffer in many ways, nota-
bly by loss of prestige and the pro-
tection of the British flag. If Great
Britain's present policy toward Canada
had been adopted in the last century
toward the American colonies the
American Union might now be the
brightest star of the Empire.
Major Sam Hughes, M. P., editor of
the Lindsay Warder, was before the
magistrate the other day on the
charge of assaulting one Kylie, who
was elected reeve of the town in a
throe -cornered fight. The Warder truth-
fully said that Kylie did not receive a
majority of the votes. To this Kylie
replied on personally meeting Hughes
that he was a "liar," prefixing a great
big "d" to the word and, it is said, in
the unmentionable language of a
tough referred to his mother, where-
upon Major Hughes gave Kylie a slap
on the cheek. The sworn .evidence
goes to prove that Kylie deserved a
good sound thrashing, although the
one who strikes first is generally guilty
in the eyes of the law. Accordingly
Mr. Hughes was fined. One Menders
gave evidence which, compared with
the evidence of others, looks like as
though he could drive a load of hay
though a weather beaten crack in a
barn door. There was either glaring
mistaken identity or wilful swearing to
something not true. Hughes was fined,
but he has the satisfaction of -knowing
that the assault was provoked and that a
man must either calmly submit to the
vulgar anathemas of opponents, strike
back, or go to law. Although the
temptation to resort to the thrashing
process would he hard to resist, a re-
course to the courts 'would he
the best for all concerned. Sara
Hughes is all right and the unfor-
tunate incident merely goes to show
that he is possessed of very manly
traits.

BOUNDARY NEWS.—ACCIDENTAL.—
Mr. Cunningham, of Colborne town-
ship, met with a serious accident while
driving after night on the boundary
line between West Wawanosh and
Colborne township. It appears he was
driving up a small hill, when the
ground underneath partially gave way,
throwing him violently unto the horse'
which took fright, breaking the shafts
and dragging him a short distance.
Fortunately he escaped with a few
bruises on himself, and the harness and
buggy slightly dainaged. During the
following day his wife presented him
with a young son. Both mother and
son are doing well. We hope that he
will consider this gift more than an
equivalent to his loss.

HURON'S PROHIBITION VOTE.
While the vote in this county on election day would appear overwhelming for
prohibition, an analysis of the figures does not warrant such conclusion. The
figures go to show that 18,007 were entitled to vote ; the total vote cast fbr was
7,420, against 4,098 ; spoiled ballots, 414 ; while those entitled to vote who 'did not
exercise the franchise foot up 6,489, within 931 of the total vote cast in favor of
the measure. And then there were 414 spoiled ballots not counted, except in the
total number entitled to vote. If the unpolled vote were added to vote against
there would be a ;majority against prohibition of 3,167. Following are the
figures as given by the County Clerk.
