TonosTo Setmrdav Night, edited by
E. E. ivheppard, Censervativo candidate
is Ilaldimand County, says :—"On
purely business grnmtds the attack to be
made upon the Mowat Government is
not one which will carry great weight
with tbe ordinary hearer or reader of
campaign speeches. The business of
Ontario hoe not been conducted without
eoandel, but when comparisons are made
with other administrations in this and
other provinces cr with that of the Do
minion, it must be confessed that the
Mowat Government has been compare,
Merely free from proven instances of
official corruption. It must ciao be
acknowledged that in the main the
personnel of the Government has beau
above the average : Hon. Messrs, Mowat,
Fraser, G. W. Roes, Hardy and Gibson
being men of acknowledged ability
while Messrs. Ross tend Drury are not
conspicuously below par. Every effort
has been made to keep the tone of the
admiuistration as high as possible."
Parctr s, WEN, President of the
Equal Rigbts Association, bas written
a letter on tbe Equal Rights movement,
in whieb he warmly resents the conduot
of the men who have been using the
name of the Association to advance their
own or their party's interests. The pith
of the letter is contained in these
sentences :
"The Pravinoial Association cannot
forbid those, who in any constituency
favor ite views, from bringing forward
candidates who ars pledged to support
those views. Localities must have the
right to do so should they deem such
eetion prudent. But none who value
the principles of equal rights will lend
themselves to any [sinister methodor
permit the Association to become an in
strument in the hands of designing men
for the advancement of party. Should
anything of thin kind be attempted in
any place every true member of the As.
sooie!ton will regard it as base and im-
moral, and as fitted to do irreparable
damage to a most necessary movement.
To all men of any party, who have shown
to interest in our organization till they
imagined that it might be used for per
conal or party ends, cnnseientious aid
intelligent friends of equal rights will
give a wide berth.
"The great question of ptoviuoial
polities to which our principles apply is
that of operate schools.
"It does not appear to me that the
pact relation of the parties to tbis
question permit, any line to be drawn
by oar Association in favor of or against
one party rather than the other.
"Whatever accretions have gathered
awned the Separate School Ant have
had, I think, the concurrence of all.
"Neither party San charge the other
with developing separate schools ; while
the recent modifications of the separate
school law are in substance what our
platform demands."
What better evidence can reasonable
men have that Hon. Oliver Mowat is the
true exponent of Equal Rights principles
in the present campaign ?
vents of the Roman Oatholin Ilieraroby
and clergy, and that our eubeervlenoy
was shown by our legislation and by our
exeruise of our Government patronage ;
by the very allege, in Fant, which in 1880
had been said to show the reverse. The
cry of 1888 loot to us some Boman C•tthe

some Protestaut votes. A reIL400e ory,
however little reason it may have, has
slways eome effect : but in neither 1888
nor 1880 Was the etieut great enough t
accomplish the purpose aimed at. our
malefic record was so sabiefatttory to the
country that • we were able to attend our
ground against even a misleading re
ligiens ory."
A ORBIT many people are lead to be-
lieve that the Separate Schools Act was
passed by the Mowat Government. It is
hardly neoeesary to say that this is not
the ease, as it was one of the planks of
Confederation in 1867. The Mowat Ad-
ministration have not the power to do
away with them, and, this being the ease,
the legislation enacted bas been of a
oharaoter to improve thole schools and
bring them up to as high a standard as
possible. Those amendments have been 'R
ohamoterized by the Opposition as truck-
ling to Rome. Hon. 0. Mowat, speakicg
ab Woodstock, recently, said
"Twice our opponents endeavored to
defeat us by adding to their Urogram a

people. After being routed in the gen.

been unsuccess-

Tom was in fact
discouraged, and
he made up his mind that if Holbrook
had not succeeded in eliciting anything
of value from Flora, he would give up
the whole matter and confess himself
beaten.
The first ten minutes after a tired man
wakes in the morning and faces the
fresh difficulties of the day are the bluest
of the twenty-four hours, and on this
particular morning Tom answered with
emphasis the old German philosopher's
famous question, Life was not worth
living. He broke a hair brush in endeav-
oring to give the answer additional em-
phasis.
But by the time that he had disposed
of his methanol cup of coffee and lit
Itis cigar the mental horizon cleared
somewhat and the vapors began to dis-
appear.
By the time he had walked a half
dozen Monks and felt the joy of exer-
cise, he began to pluck up some hope
and to manifest a curiosity as to what
Holbrook might have to tell him.
He by no means anticipated such a
sensation as he was to experience.
When Tom entered ITolbrook's office
the lawyer was staring out of the win-
dow,
The only f eaten he made to Tom's salu-

which had overwhelmed him without a
word.
Tom took it, turned the paper over and
