James Masson, M. P. for North Grey. has been appointed senior judge of the County of Huron in succession to the late respected Judge Toms. The choice could not fall to a more worthy or bet- ter qualified gentletnan than Mr, Mas - eon. THE NEWS -RECORD welcomes him most sincerely, believing that he will prove in every respect an honor to the position and a credit to the Govern- ment which made t he appointment. ON7ARIO'S NEW OPPOSITION LA'ADER. Mr. James Pliny Whitney, M. P. P. for Dundas, has been unanimously. elected leader of the Liberal -Conserva- tive party in the Ontario Local House in succession to Mr. Marter, No un- prejudiced person can help but recogn ize in him a gentleman of high intellectual power, of strong purpose, and of un- doubted integrity. Mr. Whitney has assumed the responsibility of leader- ship, riot as a result of his own ambi- tion, but because of the earnest desire of his colleagues, Mr, Marter +note particularly, that he should place his. unquestioned abilities at the service of the province as the head of the Con- servative forces. When Mr. Meredith resigned, the Opposition, owing to the, necessary suddenness of the with- drawal, was in doubt as to the course it should pursue with regard to the succession. Mr. Marter was not aux- ious to take the vacant position, nor was Mr. Whitney, or indeed any one of the leading Conservatives. Mr. Marter, however, was prevailed upon to act, and he did so on the under- standing that he should be free to step aside whenever he should feel disposed to transfer his labours to other shoul- ders. At the close of the recent ses- sion Mr. Marter urged that the relief for which he had stipulated should be accorded him, and in view of his desire in that regard, Mr. Whitney was pre- vailed upon to undertake the task which his predecessor wished to relin- quish. The choice of Mr. Whitney is in every respect a happy. one. In the first place the new leader links the Opposition of to -day with the best Government Ontario even hat', that which rolled up the surplus ,the pre- sent Administration has been dissipat- ing—the Government of Johhi Sa,nd- fleld Macdonald. A student ih Send - field Macdonald's office, and a support- er and friend of that statesman, Mr. Whitey is animated by his sterling principles. He stands for honesty and economy in the conduct of provincial affairs. As regards the relations of political leaders to the people, he is, and always has been, a strict oppon- ent of corrupt practices. Had his views regarding the election law pre- vailed, we should have been spared the shame of the last Harty campaign in Kingston. In the second place Mr. Whitney is an expert in legal matters. A lawyer of eminence in the eastreu part of the porvince, his abilities stand hint in good stead in the serious busi- ness of framing legislation. He is also are admirable speaker—clear and inci- sive, appealing to the Hearts and tie intelligence of thinking men. In addi- tion he is a gentleman of strict honour, superior to the petty quibbles .and mean practices characteristic of some politicians, and urbane and kindlyto the last degree. The Conservative party may he proud of the leader who hr ings to his task,a splendid reputation, and to his party the strength which ap- pertains to a roan of ability, courage, and integrity. Mr. Whitney has been in the Legislature since. 1888. As lieu- tenant to Mr. Meredith he did great service, and won the esteem not only of his leader, hut of those who acted with him. In his new capacity he has the opportunity to do further work, not meerly for his party, but for the province. To hirn the people look to aid in rescuing Ontario front the. bure- aucracy and placing our finances on a sound and business -like basis. That he will tight his tight well there is every reason to believe, and that when he shall have won he will give nspopu- lar, clean, a -id economical government no one can donut. UURRET TOPICS, A tariff shoulu be maintained to keep out the products of cheap foreign labor. _ _______ - - — The National Policy aims at keeping our own markets for our own pro- ducers. Canada should work up its own raw materials, and allow nothing to he im- ported that she can produce for herself. This is the object of the National Policy. During the past, week Grit obstruc- tionists at Ottawa have spent their wind :at the expense of Canadian tax- payers. In fact hours and days and now weeks have passed in blocking the business hefoi•e parliament, while the honest electorate must foot the bill. The legislative buildings at Ottawa have been a perfect bedlam of rowdy- ism and unseemly language, caused by the tactics of the Opposition for a week past. Talk ! Talk 1 ! Talk 11 1 This is the Grit, policy. The Remedial Bill is not likely to become law during the prerent session, and it is even a ques- tion whether the estimates will get through, which means that Mr. Laur- ier and his followers in parliament are quite willing to put, the people to the unnecessary extra expense of front half a million to a million dollars. The difference between bonne and foreign vQwwerce in inererteibg nation- al wealth is that eStcbange with w fore- igner provokes but one production in nur own country, while domestic pro- vokes two. M r, Marl tcn, the obstructionist, reads the Bible in patiieinent to ob- struct business. It might he well to ascertain how of the same gentleman reads the same good Book outside par- liament for his own benefit. Lord Godevich its one of his speeches on the trade question said : "What we, the Engltsh, mean by Free Trade is nothing more nor less than, by means of the great advantage we enjoy, to get the monopoly of all their markets for our manufactures, and to prevent them, one and all, from ever becoming manufacturing nations." Mr. M. C. Cameron, M. P. for West Huron, made his maiden speech in parliament about the time Mr. Masson was sworn in senior Judge of the County of Huron. Of course he de- nounced the Government and applaud- ed his former enemies, society Protest- ants. The last session of the Ontario Legis- lature was formally closed Tuesday afternoon' by the Lieutepant-Governor. A very few .of the members and not many visitors were present to witness the ceremony. In his speech, the Lieutenant -Governor made special ref- erence to bilis passed during the ses- sion relating to county courts, county councils, mechanics' Liens, the succes- sion duties, the protection of game, the improvement of the school system, and the City Council. Then the Lieuten- ant -Governor approved of 123 bills, which is the largest number, ever passed in any one session since Con- federation, and the House was pro- rogued. - Political Paragraphs. When M. C. Cameron declared in the holm last Wednesday 'tight that 300,000 P. P. A. sten would vote at the next general elections to 'make Laurier premier, Mr. Laurier made no denial of the statemeut. When he thanks God that there ai a no Orangemen among the Liberals he does so in French, in the hearing of Frenchmen, and in Quebec. Who is the Liberal leader—Wilfrid Laurier or Dalton McCarthy? We don't take much stock in the statement that Greenway is likely to enter Dominion politics. He knows himself well enough to know that he would not cut much of a figure at Ot- tawa, even with the advantage of a portfolio, and that to make the change would reduce him from the ranks of the big dog of Manitoba, with the eyes of Canada upon him, to a very ordinary little cur at Ottawa with nobody pay- ing the slightestattention to him. Greenway is not a statesman. He is not the brains of the Manitobagovern- ment. He is ciware of these facts, and will stay ;where great good luck has placed hinr, and where the stupidity of others has made him solid. Failure of Concession. General and sincere regret must be felt by all true Canadian rat the failure of the Dominion Commissioners to ef- fect a settlement of the Manitoba school difficulty. The prevailing im- pression, irrespective of party, must be that the stand taken by the Manitoba Commissioners cannot fail to alienate sympathy from their Government. The otter of the Ottawa Ministers was made in good faith, and was most lib- eral in its provisions. When in reply to their first memorandum, objections were raised by the provincial rep- resentatives to certain of their propos- als, an earnest effort was in return made to overcome those objections as far as possible. The hianitoba dele- gates, so far from endeavoring to ef- fect a compromise with the moderate demands made, did not attempt to meet them fit Cher than by an offer which even they themselves could not have expected to he satisfactory to the minority. It is hard therefore to be- lieve otherwise than that there was little real desire on the part of the local authorities to effect an amicable settlement, and so remove this trouble- some question from the horizon of politics. The proposal of Dominion commis- sioners was reasonable. It cont.em• plated the elevation of the existing Separate schools to the Public school basis as regards iestraction and teach- ing power. The means by which these schools were to be raised to the Pub- lic school standard were effective. In the flrst place, the schools were to he brought under the control of the Ad- visory Board, which prescribes the secular exercises, the texts -hooks, the hours of teaching in each stthject, and so on. There was only One condition made with respect to text -books, and that not at all a difficult one to accept; it was that no books offensive to the minority should he forced into the schools which the children of the minor- ity attend. Nobody wants to force such books in, and, as a. matter of fact, the text -hooks,. as a rule, comply with that condition. All schools were to be wi- der the Public School Board. This Board, however, was to allow separate teaching where, In cities, the Roman Catholic children numbered fifty, or, in towns, they numbered twenty-five. The condition really deals with the situation as it is. Sparate schools, we must remember, are in existence now and were the - creation of the province. In opera- tion the provision would not tend to multiply :separate schools, but would hang those already established under t he Politic school system. There were some other details; but in general the principle proposed was not a re- turn to the old Separate school system prevailing prior to 1800, but rather the adoption by law of the elastic and tol- erant school system of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A Liverpool despatch says: - It is stated that glanders are rife in the quarantine fur imported horses, and it is reported that. nut of 100 Canadian horses in one depot forty are suffer- ing from glanders. Nervous Prostration It is now a.well established tact in medical science that nervousness is due to impure blood. Therefore the true way to eure nervousness is by purify. Ing and enriching the blood. The great blood purifier is good's Sarre. parilla. Read this letter: "For the last two years 1 have been a great sufferer with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart. I was weak in my limbs and had smothered sensa- tions. At last zny physician advised cis to try Hoodts Sarsaparilla which I did, and I am happy to say that I am now strong and well. I am still using Hood's Sarsaparilla and would not be without it. I recommend it to all who are suffering with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart." MRs.

DEAR SIR,—Following up Dr. Free- born's excellent suggestion published in your last issue, advocating the placing of seats in St. Paul's church gronnds, will you allow me space to suggest that the idea (night be taken hold of by the authorities of our town and that they might extend it so far as to place some plain seats (a good stout plank on cedar posts would an- swer all purposes) in several retired spots about the town, choosing situa- tions from which some of the beautiful landscapes that surround the town could be enjoyed. This would be a great boon to many of the aged, infirm, or invalid inhabitants as well as those who would like to take nut little child- ren and find a resting place within a short distance of their homes. Many a yisitor would also bless our corporation tor the accomodation Which would enable them without fatigue to enjoy our xnatchless fresh air, cool health -giving breezes and de- lightful prospects, not to mention the chance for those of us who would enjoy a whiff of our pipes at our ease and survey the landscape o'er in the sum- mer evenings. Yours truly, J. AL ES FOWLER, C. E, April llth, !ADVERTISEMENT j To The Editor of The New,v-Record. DEAR SIR,—Mr. West continues his characteristic, quibbling, and dis- simulation in your last issue, with which he began. He would not an- swer me, and then he did answer me, and at the close he declared he did not do co, and accused me of falsehood when I stated that he was replying to rue. Who was he replying to ? His friend and supporter, Mr. McGhee of Egmondville, styles the matt erasa con- troversy of Rev. Mr. West vs. "a mem- her of the Society for the promotion of true Catholic Doctrine." He calls me a scoffer of religion -1 ask your rend- ers to judge, if in this controversy, I have not upheld the worship of the only Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, againt the Rornish idolatry of Saints, irnage and relic adoration, and vindicated the supremacy of Holy Scripture against lying, foolish and immoral papal tradition. Is this to he a scoffer of religion ? What then is priest West's estimate of a christian or a gentleman ? Do I value his estiinate ? Perish the thought! He has made an inane jesuitical whine that you side-tracked hint, in irnpers- sing advertising rates, and that. he de- sired to continue his exposition of catholic doctrine for, at least one year; hut did he once publicly express such desire at the outset. or at any time, as I did, till the newspaper controversy was finally closed ? Did not your action bear as heavily upon me as upon hire, and against my publicly expressed wish ? Not so upon his? Now he selects the Mayor of Clinton as his referee and nominee, and consequently his partizan, in a public discussion with me; I am (,tact of it. He find the Mayor roust know that the Town Hall of Clinton, will be guaranteed by them free for the full discus- sion of this matter, and that there will he no possible side-tracking, as he charges you with. That is just what 1 ask. I now challenge Priest West, that if he and the Mnyor of Clinton will guarantee no sidetracking of free discussion of Romanian) vs. my church, for every week -day evening, or as many evenings of every week as he and Mayor Holmes desire, for a year, or to final issue, at, my desire or Mr. West's. i shall be most happy to discuss with priest West, not merely works of Ro- man morality vs. my church, hut also who`, I term works of Romish immor- ality vs. any works, hooks, teachings, and practice of my church, and I guar- antee, Mr. West, I belong to a e hurch, if he relieves there is such, outside the papacy. I wish to discuss as follows : St. Peter's, and popish claims to a uni- versal church primacy ; Infallibility of popes ; Transubstantiation, and the idolatry of the Refinish Mase ; Purga- tory doctrine; Indulgences ; Mutilation of the8acr•ament and added sacraments; Papal penance ; The teaching of mere. t a' 100s satisfaction and supererrogga- 11o0; The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary; Rornish violation of every commandment of the Decalogne; Auricular Confession—and in this con- nection, I mention the works of Peter Dens, (Imry, Ligonri Busenhntnn, Ken- rick, and the work of Bishop of Worms ; and 1 ask Mr. West to name the editions of these works, which he In- Ladies and Gents: 8 pieces Louse', Stuff in „Priestley's Bike Dress GoOdS,, Pink, Cream and Sky all wool 'Serge Ito sell at 25c.

I wish to avoid all subterfuge. He says he will discuss works of morality --I wish to discuss, also what I consider popish works of immorality, and let the audience he selected accordingly, at proper bines. I call upon Mr. West to nave now the editions of such works, as it is a fayorite method of Rornanists to deny the authenticity of. their teaching; and I promise him 1 shall endeavor to authenticate the works which he names, and bring living witness of modern Runtish practice,. and he may refer to his favorite dead languages, and refer to a competent select board for _t.ranslation, if he objects to my translation. And now, since Mr. West has placed himself in•the hands of the Protestants of Clinton, including his friend the Mayor, upon certain know- ledge of their kindness and justice, (although he -and his church have, and now do, judge such heretics to be de- serving only of death, I rejoice at this gleam of truth for the benign princi- ples of the Reformation, anathematiz- ed, cursed and denounced by Roman - ism) let him and the Mayor of Clinton give guarantee for the similar good conduct of Romanista during and sub- sequent to this debate; and let Mr. West have no possible cause to whine of being side-tracked because of mone- tary rates or limitations of time. I take no bluff from Mr. West or any Romanist that comes across nay con- troversial track, and I am never the first to assail any man's religion. I only ask full discussion, con- ducted upon the proper conditions and rules of debate. He is at full liberty to assail the principles, teachings, and practice of my ehurch, and I only claim a similar privilege. I allow no underholds, even by collus- ion of Romanist with Protestant. I want no such wrangle as Mr. West perpetrated already in Ulinton--I ask no favors, and will give none, in this connection. Mr. West seems to be fishing for Protestant gudgeons, and donbtless has in view another contri- bution for his mass -house. Let Mr. West stop his whining and sycophancy and come to proper terms, and refrain from carrying his wail of tribulation out into the woods. Yours truly, A MEMBER op THE SOCIETY FOR THIS PROMOTION OF TRUE ()ATnotse DOCTRINE. Clinton, April 10, 1890. Canny Old Sir OI. Montreal Gazette. Sir Oliver Mowat is reported as de- clining to answer a question tas to whether or not he intended to enter the Dominion field and fight for the Liberals at the corning elections. He will not commit himself until he sees what the Liberal party is, and whether Mr. Laurier or Mr. McCarthy is its leader. The matter, judging by the proceedings in parliament, is in some doubt just now.
