THE OTHER ISSUE.

Wu discussing the ‘‘Trade Issue” it should never, for a moment, be forgotten that there is another great issue to be de- cided during the approaching elections, viz., whether or not the record of the Me. Kenzie Administration is such that it should be endorsed by the people !

During the present session, the Govern- ment has been publicly indicted for tramp- ling every principle they formerly professed under their feet, and of adding to all the faults they charged against Conservatives before they attained to office, the darker stain of hypocrisy.

Among many other charges preferred during the present session are these follow- ing :—

That Mr. McKenzie has taken into his Cabinet men diametrically opposed to the policy of his Government, and no explana- tion has been given to Parliament or the country.

That he coalesced with Cauchon, whose political crimes his party denounced.

That he coalesced with Jones, who wants a greater protection for sugar manufacturcs than even Mr. Dunstan, and yet professes that he leads a Free Trade Administration.

That he coalesced with life-long Conse:

vatives; and yet calls his Government 4:

‘¢ Reform Administration. ”

That he did these things notwithstanding his protestations in Parliament that coali- tions can only be entered into with the ob- ject and maintained for the purpose of plundering the country.

That the party by which he is sustained has, by overwhelming evidence, given on euth before the Judges of the land, been proved to be black with corruption.

That a large proportion of his followers in Parliament have been condemned for bribery in elections; notwithstanding the fact that he took office with the noble and pious purpose of ‘elevating the standard of public morality.”

That he has been false to the ‘“‘principle”

he laid down, that Parliament should have

the control of public contracts.

That he purchased the celebrated steel rails without the authority of Parliament.

That he has been false to the ‘‘principle’ he laid down that the Cabinet is no more than a Committee of Parliament to comply with its requirements during the recesss.

That he granted an amnesty to O’Dono- ghue, in face of the decision of Parliament which was arrrived at by his own votes and the votes of his followers.

That he granted said amnesty with the yiew of unduly influencing an election in which one of his Ministry was concerned at a juncture when the fate of the Ministry was trembling in the balance.

That he made an unwarranted use of the: power of the Crown in the appointmentof a’

Minister of Militia, who once said that he would ‘‘cheer when the British flag was hauled down from Citadel Hill.”

That he has been in collision with the

e “lamented Vail ’—all of whom said

wy heard Mr. Jones make use of the dis- oyal words—are liars, and Sir Hastings Doyle, who repeated them-—-and warned his friends against receiving such a man as Jones “ to their bosom ”—is a foul calumni- ator. We fear, therefore, that Mr. Jones’ denial will not be much regarded by the people of Canada.

In these undeniable charges are substan- tial reasons why—in the language of a re- cent writer—the people should ‘ turn their backs forever on Ministers that cannot ad- minister, on svi disant statesmen who are only political tinkers, on hypocritical con- stitutionalists who trample on the constitu- tion, on Reformers who can reform nothing ; on men who, though placed in the highest position, have, by their misconduct, hy-

j !

pocrisy and depraved strategy, forfeited every public and private claim to the re- spect of their fellow-citizens.”

City Council.

Ar the meeting held last evening it was ordered that an advertisement be issued call- ing for tenders to light street lamps—the city to be divided into four sections, and four per- sons to perform the service. It was also ordered that the Street Committee fix the hours for lighting and extinguishing lamps.

A report of the Police Committee recem- mending the dismissal of Dr. Creamer from the office uf Police Surgeon, was adopted.

A By-law relating to truckmen and another relating to dogs was passed. The old rates of itruckage were again adopted ; and the tax on / dogs was raised to oae dollar for each dog.

} ST. PAUL’S CHURCH.

A very large meeting of Church mem- | bers was held in St. Paul’s Schoolroom on | Easter Monday evening—the Rector in the chair. A satisfactory statement of the financial affairs of the Church was read by John Ings, Esq., Church Warden. Mr. Earle was re-appointed Organist, with an increase of salary to $200, and Mr. Samp son was re-appointed Sexton, with an in- ‘crease of salary to $200. The Vestrymen ‘of the Church were then balloted for. The ballot resulted in the election of the follow- ing gentlemen :—

John Ings, George Peake, H. J. Cundall, F. T. Newbery, L. H. Davies, ¥. L. Haszard, W. ii. Aitken, D. R. Hooper.

Out of these gentlemen, Messrs. John Ings, and F. L. Haszard were chosen Uhurch Wardens. Messrs. W. H. Aitken and F. W. Hales were re-appointed Audi- tors. It was ordered that the cost of funer- als of poor persons known to be members of St. Paul’s, be defrayedout of the Church funds, and not out of the Sacramental funds. The rate of assessment was fixed at the same rate as that of last year. Fifty dollars were voted out of the Church funds towards the Sunday School library. On motion of Lieutenant Dixon, seconded by Henry Longworth, Esq. ,it was suggested that the Communion Service be shortened at the discretion of the Ministers. The suggestion was adopted by an almost unanimous vote.

The subject of the Assistant Minister's sal- ary was taken up, and on motion of the Chief Justice, seconded by Hon. L. H. Davies, it was—

Resolved, That the present Assistant Minis-

| ter, tev. Alfred Usborne, be re-engaged for a

further period of three years, at a salary of at least $1,260. A Committee was appointed to revise the

Lonpom, April 22.

Lord Beaconsfield has gone to visit Lord Salisbury, Foreign Secretary, at Hatfield House—the latter’s residence in Hartford- shire.

The Daily News states that a resolution was passed at a meeting of delegates of the amalgamated associations of operative spin- ners, winders, and other classes of opera- tives at Manchester, sympathising with the cotton spinners efforts until a more favor- able opportunity presents itself. The strike does not yet effect weavers.

The Secretaries of the Blackburn Weav- ers’ Union and East Lancashire Weavers’ Union writes to the Times: ‘‘We feel we are struggling in a cause; but are ready to bow to the Court of Arbitration, and al- though we fear we are unable to cope with the organized power of the Masters’ Unions, we will peacefully and quietly resist until starvation forces submission.

Ata meeting at Blackburn on Saturday,of delegates representing the card-room hands of fourteen Districts, was decided to persevere in the strike, and use legi- timate means to support strikers.

Delegates from Cheshire, Derbyshire , ani Yorkshire declared that they would willingly furnish the strikers with means to fight their battle.
