POLITICAL NOTES.
It has been a walk-over for Mr. Walkem and his friends in British Columbia. © Mr. McKenzie’s loca) aide, Mr. Elliott, has not ovly been defeated himself, but only seven or eight of his supporters have been elected in all. Mr. McKenzie’s treachery to Brit- ish Columbia has been expressed in this election, and it will be expressed in even stronger terms in the approaching general election.
Last week we dared the editor of the Putriot to say a single word in favor of the canvass of Col. McGill, and although he has been writing every day since, he has not dared to bid the Colonel ‘‘good speed.” There is more in this fact than at first blush appears. Mr. McGill is a Grit well pro- nounced and in high relief. His own party should be proud of him. Of course he has sins to answer for, but these are not sins in the eyes of the Davies and Patriot clique.
On the contrary, they are recommendations.
Mr. McGill’s unpardonable offence is that he will not be dictated to either by Davies or the Patriot. He must therefore undergo excommunication, and the Patriot eschews him as a Jew would a leper. — Herald.
Our past and present Finance Ministers show the nature of their respective Govern- ments. Sir John chose ability, McKenzie pliability ; the first suited the country, the second the Globe clique. The result is what was to be expected ; the clique are nearly 9 ; the country nearly ruined.—Tvronto Mail.
The Globe of Toronto has dropped writ- ing upon the tariff, and retires behind the somewhat perplexing phrase, ‘‘the tariff is a complicated piece of machinery.” We would advise the Putriot to follow in the Globe's wake. Let him reliquish subjects which he cannot even define, and confine himself to abusing Sir John McDonald, re- lieving his arduous labors, at times, by an essay on ‘‘No-Popery howlers.”— Herald.
For five years the Government, under the leadership of the Hon. Alexander McKen- zie, has controlled the destines of the Do- minion ; those years have formed a palmy period of tergiversation, wrong doing and inconsistencies. The electors are now called upon to pronounce upon the Administra- tion, to say whether or not ‘‘Reformers in power have carried out professions made when in Opposition, and no more solemn trust could be committed to the people than the privilege of being constituted a tribunal to deal even handed . justice to political The verdict about to be given is fraught with grave con- sequences to the nation at large. The safety and welfare of the people is in their own hands, and the duty of every elector, be he “Reformer,” ‘‘Independent,” or ‘‘Conser- vative,” is to disown and disavow any party that has persistently proven recreant to its pledges, or that seeks to make the electors partners in the responsibility for grave acts of mal-administration. It has been fre- quently shewn that the Government now in existence has thought lightly of every pro- mise made to the people ; that they have dishonored the national character;they have increased public expenditures, paralyzed trade, violated the well-understood laws of our Parliamentary system, and have, by careless or reckless legislation, oppressed men of ali classes and ranks of society.
A writer in a Montreal paper closes his letter as follows :—‘‘ I have no political purposes to serve. I never asked nor re- ceived the smallest favor from either party, and I discuss this question simply in the in- terest of the consumer, and, at the same time, the interests of the country, and I will wind up by again stating that the policy of the present Government has been the means of killing our direct sugar trade. It prevents us buying in the cheapest inarkets at places ef growth, from first hands. It deprives thousands of our mechanics of the means of earning their bread, and sends them out of the country in search of work. {t makes the consumer pay a higher price than there is occasion for, besides being forced to take an inferior article.
From all the indications there is a larger section of the Liberal or Reform Party throughout Canada utterly digusted with the policy of the Government. Like the Eastern Township man who broke up Hun- tington’s Convention by declaxing that, as a Liberal, he did not see any diliference im point of general management between Parties, except in the fiscal ‘policy of the Government, and that he could not and weuld not support,—like him, there are many men who look at the difference be- tween the promise of the Grit Party Leaders and their performance—who stand aghast at the steel rails job—at the fact that while the surveys of the American Pacific Rail- road cost but little over a million of dollars, and occupied but two years, the cost of the surveys of the Canada Paci- fic has been over six millions, and the time consumed has been four years—at the deeds which indicate extravagance or imbecility, or both—and seeing all these thing have re- solved to cut the connection. Mr. Blake sympathizes with this section of the Liberal Party, strong as it is, because of its superior intelligence, its comparatively honester views and its practical approval of the Op- position policy. His retirement, if true, will be hailed by this section of his own party with pleasure, as giving them, in their distrust of their own friends, the counten- ance of a public man commanding, with all his faults, more of the real esteem of his party than any other of the Party Leaders. —Hzx, Reporter.
If ever two extremes met, we have an in- stance in the Reform Party proffering sup- port to a man who, at the last election, did not scruple to violate the law of the land in order to gratify his ambition. Mr. Me- Kenzie don’t want the help of such men as Major Walker.— Newmarket Era.
The late Government of the Dominion agreed, says Mr. McKenzie, to build the Pacific Railway in ten years, and some- where or other Dr. Tupper stated that time was not the essence of the contract. We may cite Mr. Trutch, who made the bar- gain with Canada, in proof of the statement that the ten years was put in the contract simply as evidence of the bona fides of the Government. Getting up on his moral Bucephalus, Mr. McKenzie exclaims, ‘‘And such is Dr. Tupper’s idea of the honor of the country.” The word honor from such lips in such a connection is indeed suggest- ive of a well known reproof. Does Mr. McKenzie forget the Carnarvon Terms? Hie made them himself, and yet he has treat- ed them as waste paper. It is not for him to talk of the honor of the country.
A great many others, heretofore support- ers of the McKenzie Government, have 7e- fused any longer to support the Grits. In Brantford, Ontario, Mayor Henry at a pub- lic meeting said, ‘‘ He felt convinced that Conservatives and Reformers alike were pleased at the manner in wiich Sir Joha and Lady McDonald had been received in Brantford. He had observed that many Reformers in the city had decorated their houses to do honor to one who had so lo guided the administration of the country.”
oe Some Facts concerning the West Indian Trade and the Sugar Question.
Mr. J. Rt. Lithgow writes in the follow- ing effective and practical fashion to the Reporter :—*
‘* For the years ending June 30th, 1875 and ’77, the cost of the sugar imported was $4,952,666 and $5,539,214 respectively. How much was imported direct from the sugar producing countries? In ’75, $1,718, - 834, and in ’77 only $680,103 worth! ! ! Only think of what this Dominion of ours is coming to. We can now only get our sugar at second and third hands. We can- not, it appears, import it from the West Indies and Brazil, or other sugar-producing countries, but must get it from Great Britain and the United States !
‘‘ Merchants of Halifax and other Domin- :on cities and towns, which wsed to inyport directly nearly all that was used in that country, hew much longer will you tolerate the importation of over seven-eights of that five and a half millions worth of s from Great Britain and the United States ? Is it not a reflection upon your intelligence that you support a policy whose result is that in two years your importation of su from the West Indies and Brazil have fallen off $1,033,730? That while in the year end- iug June 30, 1877, $2,757,611. worth of sugar imported into the Dominion came from Britain, and $2,081,966 worth from the United States, only $680,103 worth came from-—where every dollar’s worth of it. should have come—the West Indies or other sugar producing country. Is it not time to quit nonsense and proceed to business ? And by business I mean the interests of the country.

Canadian Phosphates.
The trade in phosphates, which is used as fertilizer in the United States and England, is growing to be an important article of ex- port from the St. Lawrence, the chief source of supply being the Ottawa district. According to the Montreal Herald, the total shipments of this article from the St- Lawrence from the opening of navigation to the 28th May, amounted to 1,235 tons, of which 935 tons were sent down by barges to be shipped at Quebec and 350 tons sent from Montreal to Great Britain direct. It is estimated that the shipments via the St. Lawrence to Great Britain and the conti- nent of Europe this year wiil reach upwards of 7,000 tons.

Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, which has been restored at a cost of £200,000 by Mr. Ree, distiller, of Dublin, was opened lately, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Dublin, and about 400 clergy being present. Mr. Rowe has also given an endowment of $20,000.

A Narrow Escare.—On Thursday last, as a special train was returning from the Railway Wharf in this town, having a box car ahead, and rounding the curve opposite Loveday’s residence, one of the brakesmen saw a young child sitting on the track, only afew yards distant. An elderly lady raa forward, took hold of the child, and the supposed that it would be removed in safety;
danger, she suddenly started back, lea
the child in the spot. The train was then
within a few feet of the helpless creature,
