SWORTII, FRIDAY, Nov. 16th, 1894
The New Leader.
Mr. Marter, the new leader of the Con-
servative party in the Provincial Legisla-
ture, made his fidst appearance in public
since Ms election to the leadership, in Lon-
doropn Thursday night of last week. He
-opened the campaign in that hity on behalf
of Mr. Essery. Mr. Matter made a plain,
straightforward speech, and certainly did
the best he could witi the material at his
disposal. There are two classes, however,
who were disappointed with the leader's
speech. The first is com.posed of those who
ex:pected he would. propound some new
policy and add a few new planks to the
party platform. He did nothing ot this
kind. His speech was not of the revolu-
tionary order at all, He did not even pro-
pose that the public officers shoukl be elect-
ed instead of appointed. It was not in any
sense a disturbing.deliverance. He simply
dealt with the old, thread -bare questions,
which were rattled to pieces duning the re-
cent general campaign. He did not even
forget the eggs died the chilli sauce used by
some of the officials in the asylums, and he
even stuck to his old text so closely as to
declare that there is no surplus in the
treasury. It was, in fact, " multi • Kale ,
hate o'er again," and it was very " multi"
at that. This, however, was not Mr. Mar -
tern faith. As we have already said he
did the best he conld with the material at
his disposal. It's a hard thing to make
bricks without clay, and even a party lead-
er can not make points against an opponent
unless he has some grounds to work on.
The second class that will be disappoint-
ed ideomposed of those who hoped that Mr.
Matter's elevation to the leadership would
commit the party -to an extreme temper-,
once or prohibition policy. Mr. Monter was
very plain on this point. He declares that,
personally, he is a strong temperance man
and a Prohibitionist, and as an individual
representative, he will do all he can to ee-
cure the passage of as large a measure of
Prohibition as the constitution will permit,
bat he says he cannot speak for hie fellow-
ers, and refuses to commit them. This
means that the question of Prohibiuion is to
be left an open question with the Conserve-
nive party in the Legislature. This being
the case, it is hoped that the." ma,nna," will
still continue to fall upon the party from
the distillers and brewers' tills.
On the whole, it, is safe to say, that Mr.
Marter's. maiden address as leader, was dis-
appointing. But perhaps ileople were ex-
pecting too much from hini.
'The EmpirWs Humor.
The Toronto- Empire would undoubtedly
be a success as a hamorous sheet. It really
(unconscieusly perhaps) exceedingly farmer
at times. It's htunor seems to babble ap
and roil over without any effort whatever,
arid is so delightfully fresh and innocent
than one might think at fiest glance the old
Empire was in earnest. It's humor is so
-very dry that it actuallY sparkles. It's
edistorietse however, alwaye remind us of a
quaok medicine advertisement. They read
beaatifully till you get neat die last, and
then the cloven foot ehows. Recently it has
been devoting some space to the Patrons.
In ono artieln we have noticed, it gives
them as most paternal lecture on the -folly of
opposing protection, using the fate of the
,Popalists . the Tjnitech States, (and here it
juggles in the most amusing manner with
facte) as a hagbear to frighten the , foolish
children. It tells them their harmless
little ergateizetion woo't live long anyw ay,
but that if they devote their whole time- to
" reforming abusen" that is trying to de-
feat the -wicked Ontario :Grits, -4 -the kind
and condescending :.Conservetive party will
let them keep .their'pkter toy a while longer.
It ends up thus : " If they consent to be -
*come the tool of machine politicians, that
fact will witness their downfall."
Would it „be blasphemy for us, we won: -
der, to say that there are a few machine
politicians in the Cooservative party, who
are trying their best to turn the Patrons,
against their netural allies in Dominion
politicn and trying to convince farmers that
black is the pureet white, tn. order to fore-
etall. the danger that confronte them of
losing their places. at the pablic crib ? The
men who belong to the Patron order are
nonsuch ignorant children as the Empire
would lead us ta believe, hut ate men. who
are not likely to, keep on paying money into
other people's pockets' to make themselves
rich, simply because these other men say it
is.- the best thing fer the coontry that they
eland(' do SG.
Tao London bye -election seems to be grow-
ing hotter as election day approaches, and
the prospects for Mr. Hobbs' election are
said to be most encouraging. The platform
campaign on the Liberal side was opened on
Monday night, when the Minister of Edue
cation and the Minister:of Agriculture ad-
dressed an immenee and enthusiastic audi-
ence of electors. Beth addresses were good,
but that of Mr. Ross was a masterpiece of
argument and eloquence. The Minister of
Education is a gentleman of whom Ontario
has just cause to fed proud. Between the
two Ministers they made sad havoc of the
addresses delivered the previous week by
Messrs, Marter and Howland. If the elec-
tors of London decide the isaue *pen the
merits of the two parties as set1 forth by
their representative leaders, 30. Hobbs
should have almost a unanimous vOte. Mr.
Ross concluded his address with tlie follow-
ing proposition : " There are tiipes when
party ixditios should not privail. 11 This is
a time you should judge between tells partiee
and two men, and if you judge right I have
no doubt how that will be. Let mine be for
the party, let all be for the State4 iet the
rich marl help the Poor man, anclithe poor
man help the great. Let ,justice ndt be sold,
and Iet Canadians live as brothers, its in the
brave days of old."
.An Important Opinion%
The Fees Commission, appointectl at the
close of the last session of the Ontaeio Leg-
islature, for the, purpose of enquiring into
and deciding upon the best methed, of ap-
'pointing and paying public officiels, have
taken a vast Mass of evidence, 'hearing
upon these questions. Many men who have
had long experience in mattere of tills kind
and who have watched closely the werkings
of varioue systems in vogue in cillerent
c untries, have given evidence. , erhaps
11
o e of the most important of these, *as Mr.
J G. Bourinot, Clerk of the House of Com-
mons at Ottawa. He is generally Consid-
ered an authority on all such mattere. At
the recent sittings of the Commission at
Ottawa, Mr. Bourinot read a lengthy paper,
dealing exhaustively with the whole snbject
of appointing officers and their remunera-
tion, He unsparingly criticised the Ameri-
.
can system, which he considers has been the
root of many of the administrative evils
Which exist in the States. Coming down to
the Canadian system, Mr., Bourinot favored
reform almost along the same lines as have
been advocated in THE EXPOSITOR for many
years. He believes in the payment of fixed
salaries and placing to the credit of the
government all the fees: - He summarised
his conclusion as follows :
That the present system of appointment
to Provincial offices seemed, on the whole,
the best calculated to give the country an
efficient and permanent public service ; that
to change the system of responsibility rest-
ing upon the executive of every appoint-
ment for irresponsible methods of popular
elections would be subversive of the Eng-
lish principle of government, and a weaken-
ing of the whole public service ; that muni-
cipal councils should be kept within the
strict lioes of their local powers ; that a
uniform syitem of paying all salaries by
the Government at a fixed rate, graded ac-
cording to the iinportance and responsibil-
ities of the offices, woold conduce to the
public advantage by placing all officials on
a basis of equity ; that the efficacy of a
public service must be enhanced by condi-
tions of permanence of tenure and a fixed
salary.
Whatever differences of opinion may ex-
ist upon the elective system, and nsuch can
be said both in favor of and against it, most
of those best qualified to judge, who have
given evidence thus fat, favor the salary
system of paying offieials. It has also been
made pretty clear that a very considerable
saving can be effected by co_nsolidating offices,
so that one head will do the work better
than is now being done by two or three. The
report of this commission,which will be laid
before the Legislature at its first session,
!promises to = be- an interesting and usefql
document.
Mr. Moody in° Toronto.
Mr. D. L. Moody, the celebrated evanget-
ist, is at present holding meetinge in To-
ronto: He has been there now for abont
two weeks, and the people of the Queeii
City are, evidently, getting a thoroug
shaking up. Referring to these meetingeil
the Canada Presbyterian says :
The Moody meetings, in this city, begari
on Sabbath, with every indication of very,
deep and widespread interest. Troops Of
people might be seen on all the principal
streets at an early hour, wendion their wan
to the Massey Hall prayer meeting, at 9.3Q
a. m. Before that time arrived, every seat
in the great building, holding four thou
}sand, was occupied, and many were stande
ing. Many more would have been glad to
I get in and get standing room,but on account,
of a cold which MT. Moody had caught, and
affecting his voice, he was, obliged to ask
the ushers to keep the doors shut to mourn
silence so that he might be heard, aei
he was afraid, otherwise, he might not bes
or even perhaps be able to speak at allS
Long before, the hour for the afternoon
meeting, four o'clock, both the building and
all the approaches to it were packed so that
hundreds or even thousands who could. not
find admission had to be turned away.
Judging nrom the reports in the daily pa4
pers every succeeding day has been a repaid
s,
tion of the first, only, if anything " morel
so." But, here is another vinw of the subn
ject. Faith Fenton, a bright' and breezy
writer in the Toronto Empire, seems te
have been looking into the matter, and gives
her opinion as follosirs :
But I'm sorry for Mr. Moody -eery.
What can he do, what could even the Di-
Arine One do, with • such magnificent au-
diences of well-to-do and self -complacent
saints as those that gather night after night
.1
ip the Massey Hall.
1 They are church pillars -the majority of
them -in broadcloth, furs and yelvets. They
have laid themselves out for a week or two
of Moody meetings. . The hall -big as it is,
will only hold so manydatherefore they' will
be early.
They have an early tea ; leave offic or
home an hour or two before the appo nted
time ; take -their hymn books and sally
forth, to environ the hall and wait until its
doors are opened, when they immediately
secure the best seats available 'and prepare
to wait the intervening hour. There are
enough of thetn-these dear, selfish saints -
to fill the auditorium from gallery to outer
doors.
And preaently, an hour before time, the
doom are closed and all the busy down -town
folks -the young men and self-supporting
girls, the tired house mothers, who must
supervise the evening meal, the thousands
of working folks, who ca,nnot by any chance
have ,comfortable teas at 5 o'clock and start
out at 6 -all these are shut Out, Nvhile the
good church members inside sing :
Draw me nearer, nearer, ,
To the Cross where Thou haat died.
For serene selfishness, commend me to
that of the average Toronto church mem-
ber. It is enveloping, unapproachable ; it
wraps itself in such saintly guise.
It were safe to wage that Mr. Moody's
audience are the same day after day. Why
should they change --or rather, how should
they, since these dear church folks are so
patiently on guard ?
These services are evidently the carnival
of the saints -not the call of the sinners.
The pity is that 'twee not so* announced.
Then the former would have been given en-
tire possession, without the need of the
hours of outside waiting.
Yes ; I'm truly sorry for Mr. Moody. His,
work is harder than that of General Booth,.
eince reviving such saints is aufinitely more
difficult than to convert sinners.
Law Reform.
There is a good deal of discussion just
now, in the Press and elsewhere, on the
subject of Law*Reform. The general opin-
ion seems to belhat our legal system. is too
complex and aoo costly, and that the whole
system should be simplified and cheapened
so that the poor well as the rich might
get justice. There he no doubt, great room
for reform ie these, directione. It is some-
- what difficult, however, to 'decide along
what lines.these reforms can .be best aceom
plished: *So far in the discussion, while al
agree upoii the necessity for reform, there
are searcely two who ageee upon the lines
upon which this reform should be carried
out. It is A big question and a difficult
question to deal with, and one; the intrica-
cies of which cad hardly be fathomed by:the
lay mind. It is one, hewever, which calls
for attention and which Must be grappled
with, and it is almost certain to form a sub-
ject for consideration and discussion at the
eext session of the Legislature. The sub-
ject was recently discussed by the Young
Liberal Club, of Toronto, and the scheme
they propose seems to be the -most feasible
and most likely to produce definite and
satisfactory results. This scheme is ern:
bodied in the following resolution which
they adepted
" That the Presideet appoint a cemmit-
tee to waiaupon the Attorney -General to
urge the appointment of a commission com-
posed- of Chancellor Boyd, Chief Justice
Armour, Chief Justice Meredith, Judge
McDougall, and three laymen, to be named
by the Government, to consider the ,ques-
tion of law reform and report thereon. '
We agree with Mr. MeCrimmon„ the
mover of this resolution, that " the effect of
propoeed changes, would be too fer-
reaching to be dealt with off -hand, hut
shoeld be considered carefully by experi-
enced men." As the lay members of the
commission, he suggested the names of Mr.
B. E. Walker, of the Bank of Commerce,
representing the business interests ; Mr.
Haycock, the Patron leader, 'representing
the agricultural interests, and Mr. Phillip
Thompson, representing labor.

Notes and -Comments.
Later accounts of the new Czar of Rus-
sia. are rather more favorable, and it is even
said that Russian Liberals in London enter-
tain some hepe that he will grant Russia a
Constitutional Government. There are also
rumors of an alliance between Russia and
Great Britain, but this is rather` too good
to hope for. The young Emperor may be
very LiberaVjust now, but when he realizes
the full extent of his power he will do as
much es we can expect if he keeps the peace
with a country which tubs his Empire at eo
many corners ALS Great Britain does.

1 here is antin a clamor in Great Britain
for more ships and for a reformation of the
Admiralty. There seems to be a broadly
disseminated fear that, should a crisis come,
Great Britain's navy would be unequal to
the tremendous task that would be imposed
upon it.

Some Canadian Conservative papers have
recently been hinting that there is some-
thing very like Tammany nearer home than
New York. They are right-nquite right.
The Conservative party in Dominion poli-
tics is enough like Tammany to be taken
for a twin brother. But there is thisdiffer-
enCe-when Tammany makes anyone pay
for, protection it gives protection, but the
N. P. machine forces the farmers, the work-
ingmen and the merchants, as well as many
other classes of Canadian people to pay
hea,vily for protection they don't get.
Sir C. H. Tupper, Hon. N. Clarke Wal-
lace, and several other prominent Conser-
vatives are at present touring the Maritime
Provinces. In- one place the 'chief public
question of the day seemed to be a new
dock. We wonder if they will, after elec-
tion, be asked to trade the new dock for an
old cannon, as Bayfield was ? By the way
it would be interesting to know who pays
for this jaunt. Of course the Government
car will be along. Wonder how much that
car costs per year ?

MR. MenTen, he leader of the apposi-
tion in the Provincial Legislature, in hie
address at Londo.n last week, in speaking of
the numbered ballot in use in Provincial
electione, said : " The Government will
tell you the reason is, in case bad votes are
polled, they can be located. Any lawyer
will ;tell -you that there has been only one
scrutiny in the lost 22 years, and that has
been so expensive that there will never be
another." This is cold comfort for Mr.
Marter's followers in South Huron, who
are basing their hopes of success upon their
protest on a scrutiny of the ballets.
WE STATED BOID time ago that Mr. D. E.
Cameron had resigned his position as Deputy
Provincial Treasurer, to "accept of a more
lucrative situation- in connection with a New
York Insurance Company. The announce-
ment is now made that Mr. Walter N.
Anderson has been appointed as Mr. -
Cameron's successor. - The appointment
seems to be a good one and is approved of
even by the opposition papers. The Empire
says :-
"Mr. Anderson should be thoroughly
versed in financial matters. He was for-
merly manager of the, Hamilton branch of
the Bank of British North America. He re-
moved to Toronto in 1871, and was appointed
inspector of the Bank of Commerce. Three
years later he WOS made manager of the bank,
which office he retained until 1886, when lie
gave it up, afterwards becoming assistant to
the general manager of the broking firm with
which he was connected a few years since.
As Deputy Provincial Treasurer he will re-
ceive a salary of $2,300 a year. It was
generally thought that;Mr. W. C. Noxon,
the present cashier of the department, who.
has been acting as deputy for some time,
would have. been promoted to the position."

Mn. J. R. LARKE, a practical politician,
who makes his bread and butter by doing
odd chores for the Dominion' Government,
and who is just now what ie ealled " Trade
Commiesioner for Australia," has recently
been puzzling the Montreal- Herald, and it
is desirous of obtaining new light from him.
It says : " Mr. J. 8. Larke, the Govern-
ment's trade commissioner for Aestralia,
told the Quebec merchants the other day
that manufacturing cannot be done in Aus-
tralia because the wages there are so high.
Therefore, there is an opportunity to make
that country a 'market for .goods manufac-
tured in Canada, where wages are low. Mr.
Lerke is a clever man, but it might puzzle
him to reconcile his Australian condition
with his Canadian theory.. His kincipal
business in life since 1878 has been telling
city audiences that there can be no wages of
any kind without protected manufacturers.
How then does it happen that in Australia,
where there are no manufactures, wages are
much higher than in Canada ?"

West Huron Patrons.

the nomination already made for the Com-
mons, or to retire the present candidate and
place another man in the field.
There has been dissatisfaction eince Broth-
er Gaunt, the nominee for the Commons,
withdrew his support from the Patron nom-
inee in June, when on nomination day he as-
certained that he was a P. P. A. and was
pledged to that body.
If this is the only complaint presented
against Brother Gaunt, he should not only
be kept in the field, but be supported by
every lover of liberty in the riding. Let
wise counsel prevail. Let the subject be
calmly discuseed, and honest, independent
action taken. Patrous do not want their
candidates to enter Parliament with riders
updn their backs. Our platform is broad
enough to be acceptable to independent
electors everywhere.

-The judgment in Baechler v Andrews,
a case that has been interesting Goderich
people for a long time, declares that by rea-
son of the plaintiff failing to furnish the
cattle with good and sufficient pasturage,
the defendants are exonerated from their
contract to purchase the cattle, that as to
the fifty head which defendants fed in their
stables, they fed them at the request Of the
plaintiff and he is liable for their feed. The
result is that plaintiff's action is dismissed
with costs and . that defendants recover
against plaintiff On their counterclaim the
sum of $512 and costs.
-A change has been made in the carrying
of the Dunlop mail. Jock Adams, the old
time driver of opposition coach *from Luck -
now to Goderich, now has the contract. At
the time A. M. Polley had the mail contract
and many were the keen races between the
rival stages. The latter was at a disadvan-
tage in having to change mails at the way-
side post offices and " Jock " would thereby
gain on him. Jock will now have Kintall
roote in charge, and will, loerhaps, have a
thiee mile run with " Jim" Mullin if the
latter will allow for the delays of the old
driver " Jock" at Saltford.

uncle, Lord Cardigan, on October 25th, 1854.
Dinner was served- a la Rune, with a most
recherche menu, to a number of guests, who
afterwards took wine in silence "To the
memory of the glorious heroes of the past."
The name of Cardigan was prettily designed
in autumn leaves and formed an object of
interest, together with many beautiful pic-
tures and other things.
• -On Wednesday morning, October 31st,
about 2 o'clock, the residence and most of
its contents, of H. Duff, Ashfield, on the
gravel road about a mile or so south of Dun-
gannon, were destroyed by fire. It is sup-
posed to have originated in the kitchen.
Mr. Duff and three childrenhad a very nar-
row escape from being burnt. The house
was insured in the West Wawanosh Mutual
for $400 and the contents for $200. He will,
however sustain quite a loss. This is the
second dre he has had in the course of three
or four years.. His barn and Mit-buildings

thresher a number of years ago. Mrs. Duff
being away from home at the time of the

apparently in the enjoyment of his usual
health. - About 2 o'clock he went to the
yard and began splitting a little wood and
