FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1896,
The government of Quebec province
is the only Conservative government
in the Dominion to -day.
The NEW ERA's suggested ballot has
been favorably spoken of by those
who have experience in election mat-
ters.
No less a person than the late Sir
John A. Macdonald paid a tribute to
the integrity of Wilfrid Laurier, as
follows:—I can trust Laurier without
the slightest fear. He is incapable of
breaking his word even if he wished to.
Even the four Liberals who may be
appointed to the vacant Senatorships
will not improve the usefulness or
character of an institution that never
was of much service and never will be
any better than it was.
It is likely that the new government
will investigate the conduct of some
of the Returning Officers engaged dur-
ing the late campaign, who were not
even as impartial as the law demands,
nor any more straightforward than
they had to be.
Sir Charles Tupper says "The Liber-
als will find a solid united Opposition
when they meet the House." Possibly
ac, but this won't worry tbe Liberals
very badly. The Liberals were more
than a match for their opponents in
discussion, when they were on the Op-
position benches, and they certainly
will not be afraid of thein now that
they have got into power.
One of the peculiar things about the
late election was the fact that the Lib-
eral candidate in Algoma was simply
selected as a "stop -gap" candidate.
The previous Conservative majority
was so large that no Liberal cared to
face it, but sooner than allow it to go
,byidefault, Mr. Dyment accepted the
Liberal nomination, and was elected
by the phenomenal majority of 1820.
The London Fres Press is shedding
•crocidile tears because Mr. McMillan
has not been appointed Minister of
Agriculture. All that the F. P. says
about Mr. McMillan's fitness is quite
true, but the Liberal party has so
many able men in its ranks, capable of
filling cabinet positions and they are
all so loyal to the party that none of
them feels the slightest personal dis-
appointment if their fitness does not
happen to be recognized.
The Globe has come in for a good
many compliments lately for its ad-
mirable work during the election, and
it deserves them all, but there is this
to be said about it, the Globe is not a
good well managed paper on special
occasions only, but it is excellent all
the time, An illustration of this fact
is shown in its issue of Tuesday for in-
stance, where it gives a biographical
sketch and picture of each member of
,the Laurier cabinet, and a handsome
iillustration and sketch of Ontario's
new Premier, Hon. W. Hardy. The
-Globe is truly without a rival.
'The Liberals will be remiss in their
duty to the people if they do not take
steps to compel the repayment to the
public treasury of every dollar paid, no
matter what the excuse, for partisan
(campaigning. The payment of travel -
/ling expenses, special trains, private
cars, etc., for conducting party cam-
paigns cannot be a proper charge
.-against the taxes. If such payments
, have been made the amounts thus tak-
en from the people should be recover-
ed. In 7.874 it was known that Secret
--Service funds had been misapropriat-
, ed, but the Liberals, with charity for
which they got no credit; never made
, any attempt to recover the money thus
! improper° y used. and in this we think
they made a mistake. The money
-,was Public funds and should have been
i ecoun I ed for.
Ontario's new Premier
The resignation of Hon. Oliver
Mowat to go into the Federal cabinet,
made way for the promotion of Hon.
A. S. Hardy to the premiership, and on
Tuesday that gentleman was duly
sworn in. In assuming the highest
office in the gift of the greatest Pro-
vince in the Dominion, Mr. Hardy has
the advantage of ripe • experience, as
well as great national ability, having
been in Elle House since 1873. He finds
the Province in a good position, and as

for more than twenty years he has
helped to make Ontario what site le

TRE CELT
TUE NEW CABINET.
The following are the members of
the Laurier Cabinet.
Premier and President of the Privy Council,
Hon. Wilfrid Laurier.
Minister of Trade and Commerce, Sir Ri
and Cartwright.
Minister of Justine, Sir Oliver Mowat.
Minister of Finance, Hon, W. S. Fie ding.
Minister of Martuo and Fisheries, Hon. L. H
Davies.
Minister of Railways and Canals, Bon. A. G.
Blair.
Minister of Customs, Hon. Wm. Paterson.
Postmaster -General, Hon. Wm. Mulock.
Minister of Public Works, Hon. J. I. Tarte.
Minister of Militia and Defense, W, F. Bor-
den.
Minister o! Agriculture, Hon. Sydney A.
Fisher.
Minister of Inland Revenue, Sir Henri Joly.
Secretary of State, Hon. R. W. Scott,
Solicitor -General, Hon. Chas. Fitzpatrick.
Ministers without rortfolio Hon. C. A. Geoff -
rlon, Montreal, and Hon. R. R. Dobell of Que-
bec,
Mr. J. D. Edgar will be nominated
for the Speakership of the House of
Commons and Senator Pelletier will be
appointed Speaker of the Senate, while
Mr, L. P. Brodeur will be appointed
Deputy Speaker of the House of Com-
mons.
The issue of the writs for the elec-
tions made necessary by the accept-
ance of office by the Ministers holding
portfolios and the Solicitor -General
has been ordered. Nominations will
take place July 30, and polling August
8.
The number of ministers is the same
as under the late administration, It is
probable that when parliament meets,
legislation will be introduced reducing
the number, but until that is done it
is necessary to have the same number,
No fault whatever can be found with
the personnel of • the ministry. It is
absolutely beyond reproach, Almost
every member of it has established a
Dominion reputation for himself,andalt
are known as men of ability and prr-
ciple. A great many expected to see
Sir Richard resume his old position as
Finance Minister, but that of Trade
and Commerce is an important one,
and no doubt he takes the portfolio of
his own choice. The Globe's Ottawa
correspondent gives the following con-
cerning the ministry :—
"There is but one opinion heard ex•
pressed on the street and in the great
rotunda of the Russel House, to the ef-
fect that this is a strong Government,
Conservatives freely admit that it is a
Government of great strength, while
Liberals claim that this country has
never seen the like of it for the emin-
ence of the men, their great ability
and high personal character.
The Ottawa correspondent of the
World (Conservative) is equally frank
for he says :—
"Even the Conservatives admit that
Mr. Laurier has got together a strong
aggregation. Independent politicians
do not hesitate to say that it, ie the
strongest Ministry since the first Con-
federation Ministry. Whether they
will be able to justify this opinion re-
mains to be seen."
The Toronto Star, Independent Con•
servative, says:—"The personnel of the
Cabinet is unexceptional. It is a gov-
ernment of gentlemen, of men of un-
blemished character. The Ministers
are honorable men, too broad-minded
to indulge e t -s petty -squabbling or to
i � p t y q gbe
actuated by personal jealousy. Cana-
dians will at least not be ashamed of
theft government."
Another suggestive feature in the
formation of the Cabinet, is the fact
that Mr. Laurier had to leave out
some very able men, so that the ranks
of the Liberals are still full of strong,
progressive men. Hon. David Mills,
who it was supposed would go into the
Cabinet, will take the first vacancy on
the Supreme Court Bench. It is said
that Mr Paterson, who has no constit-
uency, will run for North Brant and
Wentworth in succession to Mr. Som-
erville, who will get into the first
Ontario vacancy in ;,he Senate.
Parliament was originally called for
the 16th inst., but this is too soon to
allow of the Ministry being elected, so
that the date of the meeting of Parlia-
ment has been fixed for Wednesday,
Aug. 19. This is a week later than
was expected, but the Ministers con-
sidered it necessary to secure ample
time for the re-election in their several
constituencies. It is quite possible
that the re-election of each Minister
may be vigorously opposed, although
Sir Charles Tupper says that so far as
he can see, there would not be much
gained by offering opposition to the
Ministers.
Possibly the most significant thing
in connection with the organization of
the new Ministry is the fact that a
break is made in the personnel of three
strongProvincial Governments. Mr
Blair leaving the Premiership of New
Brunswick; Mr. Fielding that of Nova
Scotia, and Sir Oliver that of Ontario.
Mr Joly was once Premier of Quebec.
It is reported that Mr. Greenway will
be offered the position of Minister of
the Interior, (not yet filled) and should
he accept this will place five ex -prem-
iers in the Cabinet,
Contrary to the expectations of
some, the French element does not
prevail in the Cabinet, to any particu-
lar extent, there being only two cf
this nationality in the Cabinet with
portfolio and two without. The Cabi-
net Is certainly representative of the
very best elements of the Liberal par-
ty, and we have no doubt but that it
will give to Canada an administration
free from some of the objectionable
features that marked its predecessor.
It is notideabte that of the four Cab-
inet portfolios assigned to Qn'bec two
have been given to Protestants. In
the Thompson Ministry there were six
Catholics in the Cabinet, and flea in
the Tupper Ministry. There are only
four In the Laurier Cabinet out of a
total of sixteen.
ON NEW RBA
Tits Cheap Money Issue
A proportion of people in the States

acid the nomination of William J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, as the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency ,of the United Bates is
°h- something of a surprise, for the reason that
he is young and not well known, but It la not
the first time that a "dark horse" has come
t6 the front, lkir Bryan is a good speaker,
and his address to the convention on the
silver question captured the hearts and
votes of the delegates. He will be defeated
by Mr McKinley, although the Democratic

free silver coinage, or cheap money, heresy
will not be aooepted, although it is very
plausible. The bard•headed citizens wilt
ere through the scheme of the mine -owners

They will reason that if itpays to use silver
for money instead of gold, because silver
is cheaper metal, it will pay to use popper
instead of silver, and iron instead of copper,
The United States bad one trial of depre-
ciated currency, and the older men in the
country have not forgotten the disastrous
reunite of the experiment. Now that the
Democrats have foolishly taken up the °heap
money ory, good citizens not only of the
United States, but of every country which
has dealicgs with the United States, will
hope to see them get enoh a beating as will
knock that plank out of their platform for-
ever and a day. Maoaalay shows in his
history haw .the debeeementof the currency
did more damage to England a century
and a half ago than was done by all the
ware, all the unjusb and oppressive taxes,
all the royal effort° to assert the doctrine
of divine right, all the religions disputes,
and all the bad Acts of corrupt Parlia-
ments extending over a long period. It is
indeed strange that an educated people
like the inhabitants of the United States
should at this late day consent to even
flirt with a scheme that hue been so fully
tested and utterly condemned in previous
ages. But so it is. "Free silver coinage" is
the battle ory of one of the great parti et in
the pending contest, therefore McKinley,
the high tariff man, will be the next Pre-
sident of the United States.

Deaths at the House of Refuge.
The Seaforth Expositor makes the
following ample and honorable retrac-
tion concerning a paragraph which re-
cently appeared in its columns :—We
are sorry to notice from an article in
the Clinton New Era of last week, that
a remark of our Egmondville corress
pondent in his notes of a week ago,
concerning the County House of Ref•
uge, has been taken by some as a re•
flection on the management of that
institution. We deeply regret this, as
we are sure that nothing of the kind
was intended, either by the writer or
any person else. We read the para-
graph before it appeared in print, and
it seemed to us intended simply as a
joke, and we had no idea that any
person would take such a statement
seriously. However, as it seems some
have done so, we have now to- state
that instead of finding fault with, or
censuring the management of the
House of Refuge, we can only in jus-
tice, highly commend it and all con-
cerned in it. From enquiries made
from frequent visitor s, inmates and
others, we are justified in saying that
in so far as the management is con-
cerned, it is a model institution. In
fact every inmate whom we have met
speaks of Mr. and Mra. French with
terms almost of affection, and all are
loud in their praises of the kind treat-
ment which they receive and of the
comfortable home which is provided
for them, and several of there have re-
ferred specially to Mrs. French's kind-
ness to them and the solicitude which
she always displays for their comfort,
especially to the more aged and infirm
inmates. Indeed we are sure the in-
stitution could not be under better
management than it is, and if the feel-
ings of any have been disturbed by the
paragraph in question we are sorry for
rt, and we are only too glad to make
all possible a.nien 3s.
Annual Examinations, 1806
The annual examinations of 1896 are
now in progress all over the Province
of Ontario. The Entrance and Public
School Leaving division of these ex-
aminations was held on July 2nd, 3rd
and 4th. The following are the num-
bers that wrote on these examinations
in East Huron :
P.S.L. Entrance
Clinton 40 84
Wingham 2:3 55
Blyth 7 16
Seaforth 41 44
Brussels 18 42
Fordwich 8 18
Wroxeter 18 28
Total 153 287
Total in 1895 163 311
The Entrance and P. S. Leaving ex-
amination papers, t.his year, were pre-
pared by Inspectors Robb, Alexander
and Craig. Mr Robb set all the mathe-
matical papers, and also book-keeping,
writing and drawing papers. Mr Al-
exander set the paper on the English
subjects and Mr Craig the papers on
geography, physiology and tempe-
rance. The papers seem to have given
good satisfaction. The P. S. Leaving
arithmetic seems to have been too
heavy for the candidates at one of the
centres in East Huron.
We expect to be able to publish the
names of the successful candidates for

form were very fair, although the ge-
ography seemed too heavy for some
candidates.
The Second Form candidates began
to write on July 9th, and finished July

stituency, and his majority of nearly
200 is one of the best achievements of
the election in this Province.
In the recount of ballots caat in the
North Ontario election it was found
that 21 of Mr Graham's ballots were
abstracted from the box and an equal
number of bogus ballots marked for
Mr McGillivray (the Conservative) sub-
stituted for them.
The electors of East Toronto would
not make Mr Emerson Coatsworth a
member of Parliament, Lord Aberdeen
would not make him a judge, but Sir
Charles Tupper bas made him a com-
missioner to revise the Dominion stat-
utes. Mr Laurier is yet to be heard
from.
A man who had been dead several
years had the enterprise to come back

Moore, West. Lambton, at the recent
general election. As his name was on
the antiquated voters' list no one was
able to prevent the ghost from exer-
cising the franchise,
This is the way it strikes the Ottawa
Journal:—"Mr Laurier is reported to
have declined a special train to come
to Ottawa, on the plea that what was
good enough for other people would do
bin]. Really this sort of beginning is
hardly safe for the public health. We
are not accustomed to such shocks from
Ministers of the Crown."
Those organs which are sneering at
Mowat's influence as shown in the re-
sults of the elections in Ontario, ought
to bear in mind that while tbe Conser-
vatives had 56 members from Ontario
in the late Parliament they have only
'13 now. In the face of the gerryman-
der and otber auxiliaries that is not -so

and singgish mental constitution in
order to extricate you from any po-

that it is not going to be Catholic domina-

we will make the other toe the mark.' Ca-

fusion worse confounded when we read the

They say, since he has five ministers from

Ontario domination. While there were
only two dominations I thought of Canada
between the devil and the deep see; but
with three, and perhaps more to follow, I
