Sir John McDonald, referring to the fact that he Dominion Government is sending Government officials out to canvass, sarcas- tically remarked: ‘‘The late Government did all kinds ef montrosities. They offend- ed against constitutional law and the Inde- pendence of Parliament. They used the civil service machinery for the purpose of keeping their corrupt Government in power against the wishes of the people. But that was all io be cured when this Government came into power. There was to be a golden age again. No more civil servants were to work at elections. No more was the free and independeht elector to be approached by civil servants. This country was to be restored to the age of Adam and Eve before Eve ate the apple. That was the promise made the country (Hear, hear). ‘The Min- ister of Militia does not deny, or attempt to deny, the statement of the hon. member for Charlevoix ; but he says ‘ it does not lie in your mouth to complain of such a thing,’ and he winds up by congratulating my hon. friend on coming to the principles so long advocated by the Liberals of Canada. Yes, it was a long time advocated, and we were promised that it would be carried out. Everything was to be changed ; but have we a change, Mr. Speaker? When the only retort the Minister of Militia can make—he cannot deny the charge — is ‘ You’re another!’ What does he say? He says one of the faults he found with the present Government when he went into it —it is faultless now, of course, since he is there--was that the late Government had crammed the offices with political friends, and that the present Government had re- tained them. Is his Government cram- ming the offices with political foes? Every Government selects their officers, from among their own friends if they are fit to hold office. That is done everywhere ex- cept in Engiand, where they now have the system of competitive examinations. But it was always the case in England before that, and it -was always the practice in Ca- nada, and hon. gentlemen opposite will not say that since they gotin, the appointments they have made were not from among their political friends. No, their political friends and supporters would not allow them to se- lect their political foes when they had men in their own party fit to hold office. But he remonstrated with the late Government because they did not remove men who

_ wcre acting politically while they were civil

servants. Why then does he not ask the Speaker to remove}those men of whoi it is now stated, and it cannot be denied, that they areengaged in electioneering! We know that the Premier has said more than ence that a man who does not carry out in Government the principles he advocated in Opposition, is no better than a demagogue. [hold the hon. gentleman to his words,and to the principles he laid down. He says that tho time honored principles of his -party were, that civil servants should not interfere im elections. Carry it out now. (Hear, hear.)

Captain Burnaby was asked by his Turco- man guide which an Englishman loves best, his horse or his wife; but the captain an- swered diplomatically, ‘‘ That depends on the woman.

POLITICS.

(From the Moncton Times.)

The majority of Canadians take part in the political movements of the country and have some acquaintance with its political affairs, but there are a very large number who have no accurate knowledge on the subject or are indifferent to the issues pre- sented, is shown by a large number of votes left unpolled in a majority of the consti- tuencies, even during exciting contests, and by the inferior sort of persons who are too frequently chosen for the Assemblies and the Commons. Occasionally, even, an elector is heard from who boasts that he knows nothing about politics and thanks God that he reads no political newspaper! It is a safe statement that it is wholly te the indifferent, the ignorant and the cor- rupt elements that a country owes mis- government. It ought, therefore, to be the duty of all who desire good Government, to see that the indifferent are aroused, the ignorant educated, and the corrupt res- trained, and that intelligence, probity and public spirit govern the choice of those whom the electors send to form Govern- ments and make laws.

The plea that politics is a mean and pol- luted businees,—that politics is an article of merchandize—that scheming and tricking rule the reost, is no defence for non-inter- ference. The politics of a country is simply the management of its public affairs. Js not every man, woman or child interested in the proper administration of the public affairs of the country? Are public affairs more or less than the private affairs or in- terests of the individual citizen, m in the aggregate by deputies chosen by the majority ! Laws made for dealing with the commerce, the civil rights, the administra- tion of justice,—- the taxation, the education of the people—touch every individual, are surely matters of individual moment, are really (though not exclusively) private mat ters, and should concern each individual quite as much as the balancing of. his pri- vate ledger or the price of merchandize or the performance of some official duty. To shirk the discussion and regulation of pub- lic affairs is, therefore, to grossly neglect one’s private interests on vital matters. It amit selfishness—it more resembles sni- cide.

——— i i — 7 The London ‘* World” on Lord Dufferin.

A SPECIAL by cable to the Toronto Globe, from the London office of that paper. 55 Cheapside, E. C., says :-—

Lonvon, April 20, 1878.—Lord Dufferin ie the subject ot the ‘‘Celebrities at Home ’ sketch in the London World this week. The eulogistic article concludes as follows :

‘‘ By the exercise of refined, genial hospi- tality, by treating with unvarying kindness and courtesy all who have come within their sphere, Lord and Lady Dufferin have wholly won the hearts of the Canadian people. Thus the good work which the viceroy has done in private is not forgotten in the enduring mem- ory of his great public services. This is not the piace in which to dwell on the splendid resuits of the statesmanship and ability Lord Dufferin has displayed, or on the accumulated triumphs of his patriotism, industry, genius, atid eloquence. Lord Dufferin is one of the few men whose existence confutes the maxim of Solon, and who may be safely called happy while he lives. His administrative success is probably without a parallel in the history of the colonies. It is illuminated by a bright- ness and splendor without precedent, but it is also a suecess which has been won by labors of huge magnitude. We fhave seen Lord Duf- ferin athome. To judge of his character and work aright we should have been with him also on some of his ,great colonial progresses. when he traversed theusands of miles of. the Dominion to investigate personally the vast resources of the country, and from experience to form an cpinion of the best mode of their development. These undertakings were fa- tiguing and cestly, but have resulted in what cannot fail to prove a permanent strengthening of the sentiments of loyalty and attachment to the English Crown, as well as placing on a firm and secure basis the friendship happily existing between the great English Democracy and the English Dominion which he sie by side in the New World. ‘

‘The policy Lord Dufferin proposed to him- self at the outset of his Canadian career was to administer the Government in strict accord. ance with the constitutional rules, From the moment of his entering office up to the present time he has held himself aloof trom party poli- ties and political partizanship. “Whatever Ministers were in power, to them he gavé his complete confidence. Whenever they went out of office the same confidence was reposed in their successors, He stated in one of his earliest speeches that a Governor General, as the head of a constitutional State, as engaged in the administration of parliamentary Geov- ernment, should have no political friends. Still Jess need he have political enemies. The pos- session of either—nay, even the suspected pos session of either—destroys his usefulness.

**4s an orator, Earl Dufferin is the true de- scendant and heir of his brilliant ancestor, Richard Brindsley Sheridan, and the equal of any English speaker living in breadth of view, finish of style, and the delicate touches of humor which are imparted to his sporehes. Other statesmen and administrators illustrate the claims of duty, virtue and patriotism. To Lord Dutferin it has been reserved not ouly to excmnplify. patriotism, but,to identify it with loyal, joyous service ; not only to show what duty is, but to gladden the conception of it among, and to ueath the bright image of duty to,’the great growing population our Empire of the West’”
