The Zurich friends were unfortunate in the. 'matter of weather. Thursday was cold and twat, but it - was not nearlyso bad as Friday. The rain kept pouring down from an early hourin the morning until after dinner, and although ' the moisture was good for the roots and the fall wheat it operated considerably against the finances of the Society.- But, despite : the unfavorable weather there was a good show 'and a fair crowd of spectators. There nevaiwes a better or larger display lathe indoor department. The ladies' work was extra inn, *Idle the show or grain'roots and dairy pro- ducts would have done credit to a. more preteetious, fair, and even in fruit there was a wonderful show for this year. In the field the wet weather told more heavily. Horses were good as usual, but the displays in the other depart- ments were somewhat light, although. they embraced many very excellent ani- mals.

EDITZR EXPOSITOR.S01118 person has sent MO a copy of THE EXPOSITOR in which you attempt by amotation from a report of -my address in the Mail to justify the assertion that' accused Mills, Blake- aia Cartwright of 0,being willing for political purposes to condone or et - case murder:" I did .not read the re- port -given in in the Mail,. but I am sure that my address does not warrant you in drawing such an iuference and I am doubtful if even the garbled extract taken from the Mail does. accused these. gentlemen and others of laying down the principle that each of the pro-. vinoes has a right to make and -enforce whatever law it pleases, so long as these laws operate only within its own boun- dary line. To show the absurdity of this .prineiple, - pointed out 'that if the Jesuits were now to repeat a part of their history and compel Mr. Mercierto 1 • • pees a aw requir ng every entre in Quebec to be put to aleatliS giving part of his property to theipy who informed on him and the other part to the state_ these gentlemen -would 190 logically bound by their principle to condone or exciise murder.. They are all very much better than their false principle, and not one of them would tolerate it for a moment, but in making any attempt to interfere with the operation of such a law, they must give: up the: false principle that eaoh province hoes right to make what. ever laws it pleases. *I• pointed out that the rights of every, individual, family and country are necessarily cirounasorib ed and limited by the rights of other's. -I pointed out that the incorporation and endowment of -the Jesuits was a provincial right, but a provincial wrong; that .while _ provincial • right*, like in- dividual rights should- -Jae respected, provincial wrongs like individual wrongs should be restrained aud prevented. Having oondeioended to notice m'y meet- ing &tell I think that you. should have noted the fact that the -audience by a unanimous Vote exprisied their apprais- al of both the spirit and language of my address. In -regard to the statistics and other statements made I gave my . authority for each statement as I made and had any person - objected, I would have handed over the book. .. I trust that you will give space for this explanation, as 'whatever impression may be conveyed in the Toped in the .Mail, for whioh I am not tesponsible, I think that it is utterly unfair to represent me . as stating a thing as a matter of fact which was only stated ati the logical 'eon- , sequence, of a supposed ease. Yours_ faithfully; - ' JOHN MORDY. Niagara Falls, September 'Ink 1889. EDITOR'S REMARKS. We do not think Mr. Mordy has im- proved his position . very much by hie explanation. Ilia own statement bears out all we charged against him. He Shows, also, very clearly, that he does not understand the qui:ether he is dis- cussing. No person that we know of, claims that each ofthe Provin.cet: has a right to make and enforce whatever laws it pliallessolong as these laws operate only within its' own boundary line;" and erne tainly the gentlemen named have too much good sense to lay .down any -such _principle.. They do claim, howevertand we believe correctly, that the censtitu- , thin of the country defines the lines Within whioh the Largislatures.. of the Provinces can legislate and that with- in these lines or limits the Provincial . Legislatures are 'supreme. But, there is• wide -difference between this and the principle that each province has a right to make and enforce 'such laws as it pleases. Mr. Mordy's supposed case," also, is as inapplicable as his knowledge of the constitutional powers of the Pro- vinces is defective; . If the Province of Quebec were to pass sany such law as • that referred to in his "supposed ease," it would be in direct conflict with the laws of the Dominion and would also be an interference with the subjects special- ly.assigned by the constitution' to Do - minicar authority. The Jesuit Act, however, is nut of this class ; it does not conflict with any existing law of the -Dominion nor doe& it trench 'upbn the -jurisdiction assigned by the constitution tol)orninion authority; neither does it interfere in any way with: any of the other Provinces, ana hence there is no similarity or parallel between the actual case and the supposed one. As Mr. Moray says, Provinces; like individuals have their rights, and 14() king as they re- main within -these right's no outside fer- ion has a -right to interfere with •them. Mr. Mordy may consider the endow? 'hent of the Jesuits a Provincial wrong, but the large majority of the people's representatives in the Quebec .Legisla- ture consider it a Provincial right,- and who is to decide between them? - With Provinces as With individuals the only proper way in which disputles of this kind can be settled is to appeal to the la*. If the 'law, or the otitis, decide that this act complained of is a Provin- cial Wrong then it becornes of non -effect, but if they decide that it is a Provincial right, then, of course, it must . stand. Mr. Mordy, however, instead of taking this reasonable cotirse is :appealing to the passions and prejudices of the people and asks thein to take the law into.their own hands and proclaim it a Provincial wrong whether it is se or not. With re- . -wird .to the complaint he Makes that we should have Stated hie audience endors- ed -and approved his remarks, he is as illogical and unreasonable as in everything else. We only. made refer- ence to his meeting and to his, remarks to prove a Charge we made against him, and which het:Urged, and consequently ' all we had to do With were his remarks whioh we -claimed to be objectionable. The opinion of his ;audience was not a Metter in dispute, and besides, the ap- proval of his audience does not make his statements: cornet. With regard to his statistics, Of course we can not sa# more than we have already said,on the -inform. • Wen he gives us. In conclusion, we may say that we have no doubt of „the 7, 1889. Reverend entleman's sincerit),, but like Many ano er good man before him, he has allow his prejudices to obscure his judgment and while studying up the ecolesiastlial side of his subjeot be en- tirely ove ooked the constitutional side.
