FRIDAY, JAN. 24, 1896.
Sir Oliver Mowat has entered on the
24th year of his Premiership. His re-
cord has not been equalled in the his-
tory of responsible government.
Hon. Mr. Angers, who left the Dominion
Government last summer, states that he
has no more aainpp,thy for the Premier
and he holds that Sir Aiaceenzie Bowell
should have formed a new Oabinet and left,
conspirators out in the cold,
Premier Greenway states that there
will be no modification of the school
law. The Premier thinks the Manito-
ba elections are certain to affect the
Course of the Dominion Government,
and also the general elections.
The United States national debt has
been reduced over 1,880 millions of dollars
since the close of the war in 1865. But for
the taxation necessitated by that war, what
an enviable position the taxpayers of the
United States would have been in by this
time.
A general European war in these
closing years of the nineteenth century
would be so costly, would present such
horrors of carnage and destruction,
and work such awful havoc with the
resources and hopes of civilization, that
Ike mere thought of it may well give
pause to impetuous ruler and stubborn
pretender alike.—Boston Globe.
There is a movement within the anti-
Parnelite section of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party tending towards the ac-
ceptance of the resignation of Mr. Jus-
tin McCarthy, the leader of the section.
There is, however, much difficulty in
deciding who shall be appointed to suc-
ceed him. A number of the party are
in favor of the selection of the Hon.
EdwardBlake,who represents the Irish
constituency of South Longford in the
House of Commons.

Provincial general elections in Manitoba

HODGENS EROt, Clinton
WHY ENGLAND IS HATED
THE KING OF THE BELGIANS
GIVES THE REASONS.
ENVY AND ANIMOSITY ENGENDERED ISY THE
ISLAND EMPIRE'S SUCCESS IN COMMERCE AND
IN POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT—
THE FRENCHMAN HATES WHILE HE ADMIRES
THE BRITISH.
The London Times gives great promin-
enoein its columns to a letter signed "A
reeeigner," discussing the reason° why
England is hate. Tia importance lies
in the fact that the writer if; Yeally. ling
Leopold of Belgium, who is visiting Lon•
don, and tbet he arrays himself as the only
ohampicn of the British cause which has
been found in Europe during the present
crisis. The following shows the tenor of
his Majesty's letter:
"As one who has taken, daring a half 1
century, the keenest interest in English
politics, and who has always followed with
great admiration the spirit of enterprise,
unflinching love of liberty, and great
achievements of your nation all over the
world, I zannot suppress my astonishment
on finding that not only Americans, Turks,
and Boers, but nearly all thenations of
Europe and Asia, manifest great animosi-
ty towards Great Britain, and I, very
naturally ask myself what on earth may
have caused that unanimous hatred, and
what is the reason that they all our the
vials of their wrath upon the English.
"In the Net place it is envy and jealousy
which have made England hated and fear-
ed by her rivals in the flied of competition.
The eight of a. relatively small nation
spteading a net of colonies and poeseesions
all over thelobe,bringing forward extra-
ordinary and salutary changes in the Booial -
and politioel conditions of distant, wild
and semi-eiviiized intone, and, above all,
earning moral and material;sucoesses for
her strennous work, could hardly have
been viewed with indifference by those
European nations whose awaking le of
more recent date, and who do not dispose
of the means and gnalitiee which have
helped you.
"Success has at all times engendered
envy and animosity, and particularly if
this eneoes5 is the outcome of national
qualities in which othere are lacking.
Germany, France and Raesia, in compar-
ing their gigantic military budget with
the comparatively small ontlays of Eng-
land for her defence, mast c ertainly feel
vexed, and still more will their respective
peoples envy the British citizen who does
not feel the burden of compulsory military
service, and still enjoys the liberty, might
and power of the greatest empire that ever
existed. The Frenchman of the better
plass is nomparatively lees blind in hie
judgments than the others. He says: 'Je
detente les Anglais main je les admire.'
("I detest the English, bat I admire them.")
" The Russian, like all Minded, is care-
fully hiding his feelings. He imitates the
Englishman in habits and manne
rs. lie
acknowledges his mental auptlri rity
In
Mppearlinoe be respects him even, Bat the
Moridea;ti-aieatad are his hatred and'bis
OMNI opfiiY olG n' Aeii. .
t+It ostmorsibA relatten'ts Wong ail,
ferent. Since 1870 the formerly modest,
quiet and inoffensive German has decided-
ly fallen into the vice of self-admiratinn,
and one bee only to mention the spreading
of the English language all over the globe,
the gigantio commercial relations•of Great
Britain and the ubiquity of the Union Jack
in all seas to arouse hie anger and his dis-
like.
"Apart from the aforesaid enemies, Eng-
land has of late estranged many of her for-
mer friends by her recently inaugurated
policy in the near East. Whatever may be
said of the so-called A rmenian question, it
will hardly be denied that the motives, as
well as the means, of a diplomatic cam-
paign seem, to many people, inopportune
and ill -chosen."
There is mach more on this subject, and
the King of the L-'elgiums concludes with a
prophesy of many disturbances similar to
last voek, lint final British triumph over
all adversaries.

This hide and go seek government at

The Montreal Gazette, one of the best of
Conservative papers, declares that the Gov-
ernment "was only saved from complete
dissolution by the grace of the Governer -
General.
The Hamilton Herald declares that a
country is in pretty hard leak when it falls
into the hands of men who accuse each
other of being treacherous and incapable,
and who evidently are.

infinitely better without the bolters," and
adds:—While a lot of the Ministers have
been abasing Mr D. D'Alton McCarthy, 1
they have secretly held the same views On

The People of Ontario will be glad to

in the gift of the Canadian Govern-

ing Sir Mackenzie Rowell of hie hone.

The Cabinet at Ottawa has been got
into concrete shape at last. The men
who have described Sir Mackenzie
Boveell as a leader who was incapable
of leading properly have cuddled up
under his wing again. Sir Mackenzie
himself has welcomed back the bolters
who in his own expressive phrase have
kept him living in a nest of treachery
ever since he took office. Both sides
have stultified themselves she melessly,
and how any Canadian with a scrap of
manly feeling can have the slightest
respect for any one of the crowd Pas-
ses all understanding.—Hamilton Her-
ald, independent Conservative.
The Clinton News -Record man is "aw-
fully mad" because M. C. Cameron licked
David Weismiller, of Hensel', in West
Heron on Monday. The medicine may be
disagreeable to take, Bro. Todd, but it will
do a lot of good when it gets down. Of
coarse the doses have been given without
maul. 1: ^s of time --let as see, Cardwell,
Montreal, Jacques Cartier and West Her-
on—but you won't likely have to swallow
any more until the General election comes
around and then you'll catch it again,—
Cheer up though you know "He who fights
and runs away may live to fight another
day."—Bruesele Post.
Go on with the conspiracy, bound every
Liberal as a traitor, go to the ash-bprrel
for old eoraps of Tory papers and campaign
sheets, enree Mr Laurier as a Frew iman,
put French-Canadians outside the pale of
citizenship, divide the people into hostile
ranks, coerce and cajole; rise the flag of free
trade England to serve the ends of an anti-
Britieh trade policy; make it, if yon can,
the emblem of a faction. But we tell you,
gentlemen, who misrepresent the Conser-
vative party, that the plot will not succeed.
It is miserable; contemptible, disloyal,
dirty work. The people of Canada see
and understand. They are determined to
have a united, not a divided Canada; a
united people, not an English faction and
a French faction, flying at each other's
throats; and they will not further the
wretched conspiracy to destroy the country
in order to give an incompetent hair pull-
ing, rib -stabbing, discredited Government
another term of office.—Toronto Globe.
West Heron has gone Grit against a
strong Censervative by a majority slightly
lees than that which the constituency gave
against a Conservative in 1891. The bye -
election of 1892 is no index to the leanings
of the constituency. There were loose
reasons for Mr Cameron's weakness at that
time, pied the 'money spent and influence
exerted in favor of the Cabinet Minister
were returnee which world account for the
Grit eendidate't defeat by the narrow maj-
ority of 16. Aceording to the testimony of
everybody David Weiemiller, the Govern•
ment nominee, - was a remarkably strong
candidate. It is tree that in 1896 he wee
embarrassed by divisions at Ottawa, and by
the necessity for trimming on the school
question. It is true ttue that in 1891, It.
P. Porter, the Government candidate, was
embarrassed in hie vote by the Jesuits' Es-
tate Act. Altogether tho conditions of the

Political Pointers. •
The St. John N., B., Sun, the leading
Conservative paper of New Brunswick,
commenting on the Cabinet compromise,
says:—The prospective adjustment of the
difficulty has some pleasant features about
it. But we prefer to see how it works it-
self out in detail before extending congrat-
ulations either to the Government or to
the country."
Some Conservative journals profess to be
grealy deligted that Sir Charles Tupper
ie re-entering public life in this country.
Perhaps they are pleased but they can
hardly be unaware of the faot that many
respectable Conservatives take a different
view of the matter. They take the ground
that what the Conservative party badly
needs to -day is leaders of a more reputable
type then Sir Charles has ever been, and
that the deoentpublic opinion of the country
will revolt against a re -introduction of the
disreputable methods which he never failed
to employ while in public life in this country
in former years. Conservatives who want
clean politics in Canada do not view with
,favor;" he advent of Sir Chs,riea Tupper to
public life in this country, and -thee--e- ill
resent it when the opportunity offers.—
Halifax Chronicle.
The Toronto Star says, the general
impreesion that the Liberals bad aban-
doned Toronto is unfounded, and while
the Government and McCagty men
have been sizing each other up,the Lib-
erals had been making hay. Tere vpill
be two reform candidates, and perhaps
three, in the next Dominion election.
A special effort will be made to put up
a strong fight in Centre_ Toronto, and
the Liberals are trying to induce W.
D. Matfhews to announce himself as a
candidate. If Mr. Mathews refuses to
run Frank Pedley will probably be the
standard-bearer. A current rumor has
it that Hon. G. W. Ross may run for
the Centre, but we have been credibly
informed that Mr. Ross will not enter
Dominion politics, except as a Cabinet
Minister. One candidate, and perhaps
two, will he put in West Tot onto, but
the East will be abandoned to the
others.
A writer in the Ottawa Journal gives
this 'pen elteteh of the Liberal Leader --
'And now a word about Mr Laurier. Here
you have a striking face, a combination of
the intellectual length seen In Mr Foster,
the mental vigor observed jn Sir Hibbert
Tapper, and a large quantity of the tact
and knowledge of human nature displayed
by the late Sir John A. Macdonald. The
forehead is high and wide, showing both
•mental force and astuteness, while the
mouth is firm, as denoting strength of will
and personal aggressiveness, yet suffroentty
flexible to allow of an adaptation to the
views of others, and to oiroumstanoos, cal-
oe'ated to make friends. But the strong
points in Mr Lanrier's face are hie eyes.—

A Modern City.
Seattle, which is now a thriving city
of something like 60,000 inhabitants, R
with all the modern improvements andi
with great plans for reclaiming and im
proving the water supply, was settled
44 years ago last week. Twenty-four
persons made the settlement, twelve of
whom were children. They built log
houses, and it was several years before
the place began to grow, and its real
importance dates back only a few years
from the present time. The 'town was
named for an old Indian chief, whose
decrepit daughter, Pr. n-ess Auxeline, is
still to be seen on the streets.

and a fairly active trade was done in these
grades at steady prices. The glut of infer. •
