It charges us With garbliug and_ distorting the extracts we glue from its .celumnsit last, week which proved 'all and more than ate asserted. We are prepared to prove that they were used by •the New Era substan- tially in, the form we gave thea[. •In, reforeu.ce to one of our proofs of its dolorous estimate of Canadian faranit's-ivlieu itrafesrred to -the Nurth- west, it says it "eulogized the North- west." Now, we glade no reference »to what it •said about 'the climate, . soil or. natural resources . of; the cotiutry.' It did say though, "the tattle lawn of Canada are illiberal and unjust," and endeavored to account from this premise' —frorii this alleged unjustness and illiberality of the .•couditions...farmers—for the. large number- of Canadian farmers in Dakota. The Era is trifling with the common sense of its readers as well as with the truth when it endeavors to wriggle oat of the position of a slanderer of. its country which we have proved itLito occupy. It may have eulogized the Northwest as far as its recourcea were conoerued. That is not the question. It did 'not eulogize, but. frantically de, pounced, the in 1ucements.iit oil'er's .settlers, the condition of the farmers, which is the puiut at issue; it deplored their coudition on being driven from this country by "unjust and illiberal laud laws," which even last week it acknowledges having sail. Gin anything be clearer than that it has impaled itself upou this point. Wo will even take the other horn of the dilemma. it finds itself in and can itn'pale it thereon. For it alleges 'now, as its.says it did then, that the unjust and, illiberal land Ars ,were supplemented by '•the Mono - :poly, and non -recognition of settlers' claims." Here we have its. self- .convietion made more apparent. Why did it refer to monopoly etel The . Globe asks : "What is the best way. to dispose of olfr garbage." The . Spectator solves the conum- drunl by advising that it would be es well to keep on depositing it in, m the editorial colus. The Globe seetus quite certain that Sir John A. Macdonald, Mc- Kenzie 'Bowell aud other leatliug Conservatives will bo left' at house at next general elections o0 account of their votes os disallowance. Its silence iu reference to the prospects of Blake, Cartwright, McKenzie, etc., must be taken to' mean that the followers of theeo gentlemen will condone their offence in, this respect, if offence it be. Anything to boat the Tories ! We infer fromwhat our totem. says last week that it did not mean what it has said all the past years in disparagement of this'couutry. Now that the public know this its vagar- ies will not do much harm. Young in his "Night'Thoughts" says :— "The man that blushes is not quite "a brute." We may paraphrase this and apply it to the Era : The jour- nal • 1.'aat is ashanied fur having li- belled its country is not past re d.:mptiou, even' though its. excuses' are not free from mendacity. • It is not necessary toread between the lines to see the caustic pungency of the Globe's _reference to the Mail. The Globe premises that its grit rival will swallow the Empire or the Empire will swallow the Mail as both cannot exist. Of course it holds that according to natural his- tory the saako should swallow the frog—that is the Mail should swal- low the Empire, but wouldn't be surprised if the natural order of affairs would be reversed and the frog would swallot the snake: Dalton McCarthy in his 12th July speech referred to the so-called French "national" spirit as a "bas- tard natiouality." This has aroused the French Canadian Grits only, But Mr. McCarthy is right. This French national spirit in Canada is a "bastard" one. Sp would be a German national spirit or an Irish national spirit or a Welsh national spirit or a Scotch national spirit or an English national spirit. The genuine national spirit in, this country must be Canadian—British Canadian if you will. Nor has our totem. stepped at libelling the condition of the people of Canada; with suggesting the bursting up of this Confederation ; with the annexing of this country to the United States, as we have shown, and hnuureds of other' foul - its -own -nest and traitorous express- ions from time to time, but it seem- ed in its element when there was a prospect of bloodied in the North- west. It approvingly published letters addressed to it containing such treasonable language as this : "Do not bo surprised if you hoar of "e rebellion up here. WE ARE "GETTING RIPE FOR IL" lis it innocently r'entarks "ts account for the presence of so many 'Canadians in Dakota." These Canadians are farmers, and it even now contends that it was not -only the unjust and illiberal land laws, but monopoly and non -recognition of settlers' clainis, that drove those settlers -•=those farmers—from Cana- da.. The plain inference is that they; would not have left Canada hit foe the alleged 'he'peleesness 'of fanning conditions in' this country. .

The consent of the local Council might pretty safely he taken as granted.

At.a Meeting of Liberal•Con• servativeri at Preston recently the d following resolution was passe:— That, whereas, the Hon. G.W. Ross, Minister of Education, has publicly Stated that the public schools in the German localities of Western Ontario are in, precisely the. sante condition as the public sehoole in the French localities.in E•isteru Ontario, we desire to place upon record the, fact that in the public schools in the German portions of this county English is the language of instruc- tion, and German—where it i uae at all—is taught simply as a side study arid just as any other useful accomplishment, Our Ger. roan fellow -citizens have shown a laudable desire to see their children acquire a thorough English educa- tion, and the result is shown Rt the fact that there are today no more loyal and devoted subjects of the Dominion than the Germans avid descendants of Germans who are located in this portion of the Pro. %ince of Ontario.
