The Exeter Advocate, 1898-2-26, Page 4TEE fexettr Atituovate) leas. H, Sanders, Editor and. Prop THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 1898 .NEXT WEEK. When our paper, issued on March 3rd, is its the bands of our patrons all •Canada will know whether Mr. hardy, or Mr. Whitney is premier of °uteri°. And things will settle down in their. ewn grooves once more, and our rulers will have begun to work for another four years exano:tiiation, with the re• wards of office as the prize for correct .answers, 1Ve are not prophets, but we think the people will see new faces i the front row ou the speakers right. after March 1st, 1895. A new elemeut' goes to the }colts to vote this tkue and being young men they are naturally out of tune withthe old order. Wes refer to the manhood suffrage vote.' Mr. Hardy evidently dreaded this ele- ment and held it back for a long time. Bet he will rase it next week and feet its. power. And this is only one of the things whichpoint ter a change, The leading journals have been interview, isig and quoting the commercial travel, ]ors, and their opinions all Point oue way—to a change. No class of men are more reliable than they in noting public opinion, During rho long rttle elf Sir John MacDonald, as each election carne ou they had but one story and that was the success of the National Policy. Jo 1S96 the same authori- ties changed their opinions and. the Conservativep-;ty were beaten. Cote menial travelers are as a rule very intelltgeut men, well informed mew, and they observe ard base their con elusion with great accuracy. These oleo say the 'hardy Government will be bc'ttten, Well, we can spans it. R has taken from the municipalities rev- enue once locally used, and made it a part of their central fund at Toronto. It has sized the offices of license in. spector, bailiff, division court clerk, once. eontroletl by neutral influences and made of these men, ward heelers and party tools. It has made the con. ditious of obtaining a Bettor license to toped not upon respectability but upon party service and attaching a tag to the ballot, visits each hotel keep- oar's independence with loss of license The dry rot has set in as under the British Parliamentary system aud the Liberal funeralnotices will be duly post. ed next week for all to read, Sir Oliver. 3iow,at practised many a queer trick and he always managed to hide his hand, but long tenure of office has made Mr. Hardy careless, Cold justice be threatened Owou Sound with, if they did not elect a Liberal Candidate and North Grey will very likely give his Caudidate hot t entre_ nee next week. A Normal school is in the air arouud London, but Mr, Whitney if it is need- ed, will probably put it on the ground. New locomotives are promised to em ploy workmen in Kingston, but they wilt hardly be ready in time to move Mr. Hardy's personal effects back to Brantford where another needs his office room. Sir Oliver taught "Little Thunder" that this was the way to win elections, but he could not give his successor the track from the back door. Colonel Leys, who is now run- ning; in Mr. Hardy's interests in Lon. don, ouce told queer stories about the manner in which Mr Fred. Mowat was made sherriff of Toronto. But the Colonel talks about other thiugs now. Mr. Fielding, now a Dominion Minister, once said it was a serious mistake to keep any set of men too long in power, and we suppose he will prove his con. sistency by voting to give the Liberals' thirty years of office. The cry that a change would be for the worse will not hold good when we remember that mach irf the best legislation in Ontario has originated from the Opposition side of the House, and at first received strong opposition frtan the very states_ meu who claim that the Conservatives are weak in mon of ability to . form a government. Our concern here is With the South Huronportion of the :fight. Give Mr. Eilber a chance to show what our young men are like and e e are sure that no ono, not even a Liberal will sigh for the days when Mr. McLean voted as Mr. Hardy winked. TEE CIJANGE IS COMING. Ir any man can gather an idea as to. ow the, elections are going through- out the Province;, that man is surely the ammercial traveller: According to the Chatham Planet, Ed.Burns, travel- ing representative of John Macdonald & Co of Toronto, is, after covering the i i u t' province,:of the opt n o the Mr. Whit_ ricy ana His tollos' ors will sweep the country oti'the first of March. ,,-,Mr„Elan s states that in spite of the quietness of the campaign, there is a big change of feeling, especially iu the rural districts, and the turn in public opinion will result in lir. Whitney re- turned, with a, large majority behind Lite. Among the feetilres that Mr. Burn thiuke will mark the next cam- paign are the overwhelming defeat of Gibson in Hamilton, ;, the election of Beck in London, the complete sweep of the four 'reroutes by the Conservatives and the turning over of North Essex to the Opposition side, He is cofident that if Hon. G. W. Roos succeeds in be. ing elected it will be only by the skin of his teelll. Tn taonclussion, Mr. Berns, said that the change. at Toronto next' month will be as emphatic as that at a Ottawa in June, 1b9ii. Mr. Ilurns is an independent m poli- ties, In fact, he prophesied the defeat of the Conservatives iu the last Dotttip- lou ele;etiou, Canadians love an, honest statesman and despise a deceitful ore. When the tricky politican is founu out be is des fitted by the hoaeest electors. Ofilo. seekers and parasites still cling to him in the hope of reward, The Ontario; government has deceived the peoploof the province for years. The leaders declared that there was a cash surplus' in the treasury to the amount of Mil, Tions while they knew well that there' was tto a dollar. They called the Trust fends held by the Dominion and which belonged to the province since Confederation, surplus. though notone dollar of it is now, or ever has been, available to draw upon for current ea,. pencditures, Instead of having surplus money to draw upon when deficits star. od them in the Paco because of ret kless expenditure they have been compelled. y*ear by year for a long period to bor. raw money to carry on public affairs. Thu provtnee now owes about $3000,000 annuities and railway certificates all of which bas been borrowed and must be paid back with interest iu the yearn ahead Each year finds the province further in debt. The deficit iu 1894 was over $100,000; in 1895 over $350,- 000; in 1696 over $446,000, and in 1897 over 5600.000 A recent Sale of timber limits and the proceeds of the mining boom in northwestern Ontario may lessen the deficit somewhat for 1896 Hardy, Ross and Harcourt have played. the role of political, tnountebanks for many years. They have grossly deeeiv. ed the people and covered up their misdeeds by inscrutable ledgers, mysti. vied acconuts, refractory witnesses, and false statements and speeches every where throughout the province. Now that their double dealing and decep- tive deeds are being exposed they grow wrathy and belittle the loader of the Opposition and his collettg ues in a further attempt to make the people be- lieve that they are the only men who have brains to run a government and conduct the affairs of the country. Mr- Hardy's turgid speeches, his ridicule of man more honest and quite as able as himself will not go down with the people. He can never atone for the deception he has practised on the coun- try. He lived on the fame of Sir Oliver Mowat but now that Mr. Mowat is no longer at the helm the people have no longer any confidence in the goveru- ment and demand a change. Nobody charges Mr. G. W, Ross with enriching himself out of the public purse but he is every day charged with allowing hundreds of thousands to be filched out of the pockets of tbe people for high priced and in many cases wholly unnecessary school books. The government receives the money of certain book publishers in Toronto and in this way creates a monopoly, since no others are allowed to use the plates. These publishers have fattened on the public and the people have been robbed to a corresponding . extent, Favorites of Mr. Ross have had their books anth orized by Mr. Ross (nobody else has 'authority to authorize a school hook): and are allowed to charge a royalty on every copy sold. The Czar of the Edu- cation Department knows how to dis- arm critisni and silence a dangerous opponent. The extortion practised by these school book published caused bitter dis- cussion in the legislature. The Con- servative opposition assailed Mr. Ross and, sustained by public opinion, com- pelled him to bring about areduction. in prices whereby many thousands were saved to parents who had children at tending the Public Schools. It was the Opposition, not the government or i',ir, Ross, that deserved thanks for lessening the unjust tax upon the people, When Mr. Whitney comes into power there will bo free and open competition amongresponsible ,uhlishera and fav F °rites will be nolonger privelegsd to fleece the peot1e as the:7 have been in the past midst” Ms. B.ess's management.

The Patron Sun. of Toronto, a few weeks ago ;hes illustrated the modus operanal by which the provincial debt has been sweeten until it now stands at the enormous figura of $5,046,911: "The Ontario Legislature, in its dy log hours, voted $270,000 as a subsidy to a railroad ninety miles in length to be constructed from Parry Sound to a point on the Canadian Padre railway at or near Sudbury. Under the au- thority of an Ontario Statute, the mon ey will doubtless be given in the form. of certificates, by which the province agrees topay the company 82,590 80 for every 83,000 voted, the payments to cover a period of forty years. The graud total to be paid this company out of the Proviu ial Treasury during henoxt forty years will therefore be 8x33,712 " R. T. OF'r GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of the Royal Tem piers of Tetaperence met at St. Thomas this week, C, Van Norman, Grand Secretary, in his report, says: From Feb. 1st, 1897, to Feb. 1st. 1897, we have instituted 22 Dew councils, as against 17 of the previous year.

After the nominations were clos- ed, the Town Hall being inadequate to accommodate the large crowd which had gathered from all parts of the rid- ing, they adjourned to the Agricultur- al Hall, where speeches were given by the candidates and Mr. Sutherland, of Napier and Mr. 'rhos. Purdom, of Lon- don, in behalf of Mr. Taylor, while Mr. Weismilier, of South Huron, spoke in behalf of Mr. Hodgins. The best of order was maintained throughout the whole proceedings The meeting was brought to a close by cheers for the Queen and the candidates. if You Wish to Be Well You must fortify your system against the attacks of disease; Your blood. must be kept pure, your stomach and digestive organs in order, your appetite good.

Co., of this town, was cleaning the sawdust from underneath the carriers t -day, when the sleeve of his woolieu jacket caught in the car- riers, and his sleeve was torn off his arm and the back of his coat was also torn from his body.
