MEREDITH ACCEPTS.
W. R. Meredith, Q. C., M. P. P.,
• leader of •Her Majesty's Loyal Opposi-
tion; has been offered and has accepted
lithe high and honorable position of
Chfef Juitice of the Divisional Court of
• Coi.nriion Pleas for Ontario, in place of
tSf* Th rnas Halt, retired. THE NEwe-
.RECoiLD regrets to loose such an able.
leader from such 'a loyal party, but
cannot agree with Grit newspapers
-.that another leader cannot be found.
There 'are in the ranks of the Ontario'
Opposition capable men who are ready
"and willing to guide our destinies.
The choice of a new leader will not
:suit the Grit Party; the welfare of
• Ontario only will be considered in the
Selection. Mr. Meredith has been in
political life nearly 22 years. He was
• chosen in a bye -election in 1873 for
• London,, Before that time John Carl-
,' ling, now Sir John, used to monopolize
Tooth .the Dominion and the Ontario
,seats. When dual representation was
abolished John gave up the Legislative
seat and wassucceeded by Mr. Meredith.
.The 'new Chief Justice was a• young
lawyer at that time, and the cry raised
•agrinst him was that he was not old
,, :enough to go to Parliament. The cam
••paign was an exceedingly hot one, but
the coming leader of his party won by
• a majority, not large, bat safe. It was
two or three mouths later that Perry,
M. P. P. for North Oxford, resigned,
and Sir Oliver ramie down off the bench
and took his seat and the leadership of
the Liberals. It was a coincidence
that both the future leaders were sworn
in on the sante day at the succeeding
session.:
Mr. Meredith is now the the oldest
•nietn er of the Legislature except
Thomas 'Gibson of Huron.
)
The salary attached to the position is
only $7,000 a year.
THE CONSERVATIVE POLICY.
What Canada, under liberal-conser-
,,; Live rule, aims at is•to apply all that is
good of free trade. That policy is bas-
ed on the following :-
1. (a) Free trade in necessary food
,products not raised in Canada ;
(b) Free trade in raw materials not
,produced in Canada, for manufactur-
(c) Free trade in manufactured or
•• partly manufactured articles such as
are not made in Canada, required for
7 the' use otits citizens, the development
•• ;.'of the country or -for manufactured anis-
pietnents.
2. Taxation for revenue purposes,
chiefly levied on luxuries such an liqu-
' , .... ors, tobaccos and other expensive
oods used by those able to pay for
'uclx.
$. Protection on agricultural and
manufactured products so as not to
allow Canada's home market to be
• 'glutted by the surplus faun and indus-
trial products of the United States and
'tidier; lands.
,s,• YProhibition of a few objection-
;ble articles such as oleomargarine
. • tad atltilterated foods.
y Short, the policy is one embody-
Ing,

free trade, taxation for- revenue, pro-
tection to home agricultural and menu-

CHI E'F JUSTICE' IIIEREDI7 H, '
Hamilton SPootator.
It has always been the policy of the
Conservative government Of Canada to
put the best available men on the
bench. Sir John McDonald used to
say, "Whatever else we may do, we
must keep the bench clean." In carry-
ing out , this policy it has been the
habit of the Conservative government
to ignore political lines, and many
prominent Reformers have been put
into high places in the judiciary of the
country. The raising of Mr. Meredith
to the chief justiceship is in accordance
with this rule. He is by all odds ,the
best man for the pcisition who could he
found in Canada. His legislative
experience of twenty-one years has
given hila an intimate knowledge of
the laws of the province which few, if
any, others possess. He is emphatical-
ly iL clean rnan ; a man of pure life and
great ability a man who will maintain
the high standard of the Canadian
judiciary. The :,..,,^.1try and the
governmer ..see to be congratulated
uponMc;'Meredith' 'appointment.
But what of the political situa 'on ?
It has been the custom of the r owat-
ites to make much of Mr- Mered h and
little of his following. As a mat
fact the opposition in the legislature
has always contained men equal in
caliber, if not superior, to those in th
cabinet. And, although some promi
ent members of the opposition 1%- re
left at home in the last general el >c -
tion, many first class men have heel
added to the opposition, and while all
Conservatives, must regret the loss of
Mr. Meredith, there will be little
difficulty in choosing an able successor.
It is too early yet to mention names.
The Toronto Globe has kindly stopped
in and has given a long list of available
men, some in and some out of the
legislature; and, of course, mostly
residents of Toronto. But the opposi-
tion will be able to fill the vacant
leadership without the advice of the
enemy.
It does not follow that the retire-
ment of Mr. Me.•edith ,will endanger
the hold of the opposition upon the
London seat. The late campaign in
that city was made 'upon the cry that
Mr. Meredith was an outsider—a
resident -of Toronto, and not only that,
but he was an official employed by the
corporation of the city of Toronto.
There is no doubt that this cry had its
effect. The Conservatives of London
will, of course, bring out a local man,
and any advantage Mr. Meredith niay
have had by reason of his personal"
popularity will be more than balanced
by the fact that the coming Conserva-
tive candidate will be a resident of
London. The fight will be a hard one,
for upon the result will depend the
question whether the government will
have a majority of one or a minority
of one.
It may be that the Conservatives in
the legislature will not elect a leader
for the party ; but wilr'simily follow
the Patron leader, Mr. Haycock. This
they can easily and consistently do,
for the Patron platform and the
Conservative platform, so far as the
Ontario 'Nish -it -ire is concerned, are
identical. Such a combination would
control the situation.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Fair criticism of public men by any
public journal is all right, but just how
the Goderich Signal can degrade its
'columns with such abuse as that paper
weekly contains, of Mayor Butler, is
beyond comprehension.
One of the latest political rumors is to
the elect that Mr. D. A. Forrester will
join the Patron Order and receive the
Patron nomination for West Huron,
in place of James Gaunt, to contest the
next Dominion election. What foun-
dation there is for the rumor we do not
profess to know.
The Stratford Herald was charged
with criminal libel hy.one McPherson,
a license. commissioner, 'because that
paper published an affidirvit showing
up fraud in the"granting of liquor lic-
enses bythe Mowat Gc er • r
n neat.
The jury justly threw out the bill and
the conrniissionera are now placed
still deeper in the mire of partisan Grit
political corruption.
• +Sir John Thompson will unveil the
statue of the lite Sir John A. Mac-
donald in Toronto on the 13th inst. and
make the principal speech. Sir Oliver
Mowat, the Hon. Mr. Laurier, the
Hon. J. A. Chapleau, Sir Adolphe
Caron and others will also he invited
to deliver suitable addresses. A. parti-
cularly nice feature of the ceremony
will be the parade of the school child-
ren, who are to be addressed by the
Minister of Militia. The list of invited
guests includes the Dominion's most
prominent men. Ex -Mayor Clarke is to
preside and will at the close of pro-
ceedings formally present the statue to
the city.

be some who will, with judge McDou-

objection of his Honor is not. well

grounds ; firstly, because' its adoption
will provide needed protection forlittle

whom the new penalty is intended
should be prevented by society from
propagating their species.
• Wise and Otherwise,
In Chicago the highwaymen assault
and rob policemen. In I ew York the
policemen have turned highwaymen
and assault and rob the citizens. In
Canada the laws are so British that
citizens are protected by the pnlice-
ulen.
In Kentucky it is now a lynching
offense for a white man to be suspect-
ed of burl:lug barns. Kentucky will
never be civilized until a'little British
law is adopted.

Championship prizes.were awarded to
Harry Nevins and F. Shepherd, the
former having won the most points in
the senior and the last named. in the,
junior divisions. We have given the
winners of the various contests on the
park grounds, though the prizes were
awarded somewhat differently as the
rules prevented any competitor hold-'
ing more than two prizes, hence prize
won by Nevin, Morehead, Shepherd'.
and Beckett were handed to those
next on the list.
