hours we pawed Port Hope, laving a good
harbor for small schooners and soowa. A

Our first stopping plea was the city 'of

there were 5,000 empty houses. We Best

we hate not noticed a Canadian vessel or

Ottawa. The Czar of Russia has but little
ism power over his subjects than has Wil-
mot, the impracticable theorist over the
fishermen of this country. He never earned
a dollar by fishing, but oomtrvle thousands
of poor fishermen from British Columbia to

W6 MUST MAY THAT MR
Myers has, decidedly, the
best of the controversy, and we
feel .usfled that Mr. Mowat has made a
great mistake. It is true, be does not de-
sire to interfere with Mr. Myers, as • priv-
ate citizen in his advocacy of Annexation or
any other scheme he may desire, but simply
to rostrata him from doing w as an officer
of the Government. If Mr. Mowat were to
lay down the doctrine, and adopt it iu prat•
lice, that °dicers of the Government should
not take any public part in political mat-
ters, we could understand and perhaps ap-
prove of his position, hut to single out and
taboo one particular branch of political dis-
cussion seems so childish as to be entirely
indefensible. We would like Mr. Mowat to
explain in what respect it is a greater of-
fence to advocate the annexation of Canada
to the United States by legal and leptimate
means, than it is to advocate I nivereel
Free trade and Direct Taxation or Imper-
ial Federation, or for that matter to advo-
cate any change of Government. 1 -et, Mr.
/'rear, of Hamilton, a gentleman occupy-
ing • similar position to that occupied by
Mr. Myers, took an active part in the last
Dominion election, preaching Gritism and
Free Trade from platform to platform, and
also addressed some very able lettere oo the
same subject to the Press ; Police Magis-
trate Denison, of Toronto, another public
'servant, under Mr. Mowat's department,
who has been preaching Imperial Federa-
tion for yearn, has lately been waving the
old flag with all the vigor of a pampered
monopolist or favored Dominion l:ov-ern•
meet contractor, .rid has never hesitated to
insult and abuse better men than himself
who differed from him. Others equally
guilty could also he named, and all have
passed unreproved. Why, then, should
Mr. Myers be pounced upon' Should he
not have the same right to advocate the
policy be considers best for his native coun-
try that Mr. Crerar or Mr. Denison has' It
is tree it is said by some of the silly, sub-
sidised flag-waving Kees that he has been
weaching sedition. Mr. Mowat, however,
mows better than this. He knows that
Mr. Myer. and others wbo think as he does,
advocate the changes only by constitutional
means, and with the full and free consent of
both Great Britain and Canada. This being
the case the advocacy of such a scheme is
just as legitimite aa the advocacy of ('on -
federation, Independence or any other con-
stitutional change, and we are sure that Mr.
Mowat, if he would allow his reason and
common .shee to overcome his old.time pre•
indices, would say se too. At any rate per-
secution such as Mr. Mowat prepses will
make ten converts to continental Union to
one that Mr. Myers could make were he to
speak and write of nothing else for the next
ten years.
The Expositor does not need to tell its
readers that it has no sympathy with Mr.
Myer,' political views, --it das not favor
annexation, even by pe.oeful and constit-
utional means, hat we do sympathise
with Mr. Myers himself, as we glory in the
pluck of the man who places principal be-
fore petition or parr.nal interest, end who
would suffer martyrdom rather than &b•n-
don principle. Such men are too few now•
a -days.
