THE

The Local Government.

Ir is reported that Messrs. DeBlois, Gor- don, Prowse and LeFurgey have resigned their seats in the Local Government. The hero of the one-sided meeting is thus left in a sorry plight.

The people have had enough of him and and his Radicalism. They now want a pru- dent,economical readjustment and reform of the Legislature, the Executive, and the Civil Service. They will have nothing more to do with Radical men, for they have had quite enough of radical measures. The Radical Premier cannot, therefore, turn to to them.

But, as.drowning men catch at straws, as desperate men do desperate deeds, so it is said that Mr. L. H. Davies contemplates asking Catholic members of the Legislature assistance. No Ca- course,

to come to his tholic of honor could, of do such a thing. Even if disposed to forgive the Local Premier, they could not be so base as to desert the Leader of the Opposition.

Nor can any man in the Legislature, whohas the slighestrespectfor the will of the people, by any means be ‘induced to enter the Local Premier's obnoxious combination. that Mr. Davies We shall see if

We assume, therefore, must, perforce, retire. any one in the Legislature is now so mean as to do the Local Premier reverence.

We have not been able to agree in politics with Messrs. DeBlois, Gordon, Prowse and Lefurgey since they entered the company of Mr. Davies and his Grit colleagues; and we heartily congratulate them on_ their

emancipation from Radical infinences. ——! 2

Developement of Industries.

To Pitt’s far-sightedness is due the com- mercial supremacy of England. Prior to the year 1792 her manufacturing industries had been developing very slowly, and were liable to sndden reverses from the compe- tition of other But, in that year, Pitt declared in favor of the following policy :-—‘ Nothing foreigners which can be procured in Eng-

countries. to be procured Strom

lund; raw materials from abroad to be manu-

Jauctured here; the dominion of the seas to be

preserved at any prive.”

Under such a policy, England could not fail to make rapid progress, as not only was her home market secured to her free from competition; but, with England mistress of the seas, and the constant additions by con- quest and settlement to the Empire, new markets were continually offering for Eng- lish goods. Ithas been only within the last few years that any attempt has been made to dispute with her the control of the Indian and Colonial markets, and very rash would have been any manufacturer thought—whether in Europe or America who would export to England goods, either in the lines of hardware or cotton.

The United States is, however, now contending with England in the Austra- lian, Chinese, South American and Cana- dian markets, and has even “ carried the war into Africa” by underselling the Eng- lish manufacturers of edge-tools, cutlery, electro-plate, locks, agricuitural tools, ete., in their own home markets. That this competition is being severely felt in Great Britain,as any one who has read the reports

-of the various Chambers of Commerce,

Boards of Trade, etc., must be well aware ; and, as we pointed out in Wednesday’s issue, it has found expression in the organi- zation of a ‘* Reciprocity League,” with branches in nearly all the large manufac- turing centres, which formerly were the greatest promoters of ‘Free Trade” ideas, and represented in Parliament by such men a3 Bright, Cobden, Villiers. ete.

That the time has arrived when, by ‘‘a judicious re-adjustment of the tariff,” some- thing can be done to foster owr infant in- dustries, has been felt by many, and has found expression in the ‘‘ National Policy” propounded by the Liberal-Conservative Party. If it shall result in the develop- ment of this fair Canada of ours in any way proportionate to the results effected in the Mother Country or the United States, then its promoters will have merited the gratitude of future generations of Cana- dians, despite the temporary reverses that may occasionally follow a season of over- production, and which are felt nearly as much in the purely agricultural country as in the manufacturing community.

THE FIVE MUTES.

[CONTRIBUTED BY AN ACTIVE SUPPORTER Or ONE OF THE MUTES. |

Four of the five incapables who wer during the past four years, atone this Province in the Dominion House 0 Commons, are again plotting and scheming for their re election. This batch of poli- tical nonentities, pretend to be innocently forgetful of the fact that, since 1874, not only have they— by their ineradicable stu- pidity — rendered themselves supremely ridiculous, but they have also humiliated the electors of this Province in the eyes of the people of the Dominion. We presume they found it profitable to annually waltz up to Ottawa to pocket one thousand dollars of the people's money, for which they have never given the slightest equiva lent. We assume that 1t was not the weal or woe of this Province, so much as the gobbling of their yearly check for their sessional allowance and_ travelling expense which caused them to be so punctual in their annual ,pilgrimage. Doubtless, to the same cause,we may attribute the present excessive burst of patriotism, now being in- dulged in by the honorable gentlemen; Gritism and grab-game, to ow mind, are synonymous terms, The factthat theyremained almost as silent in the House of Cémmons,as did Lot’s wife affer she was turned into a_ pillar of salt, we suppose must be attributed to their philosophic and contemplative cast of mind. It might have tallied with their ideas of what their duty, as the people’s represen- tatives was, for them to have remained in the state of tranquil torpor, which they did —provided they held themselves in readi- ness to answer to the division bell and the Party Whip. They were studiously exact in attending to this part of their political prozramme.

The prudent manner in which they dis- charged the commission with which they were honored may be inferred from the fact that they declaved by their votes—the only way in which they could be the least possible assistance to any party—-that the Hich Priest of the ‘‘Organized Hypocrisy” should wilfully, deliberately and absolutely squander fifteen hundred thousand dollars of the people’s money in the famous Steel Rail purchase. For this master stroke of Grit statesmanship the taxpayers of _ the Dominion—as well as generations yet un- born—will be compelled to pay a yearly stun of about seventy-five thousand dollars in the shape of interest on the above men- tioned transaction.

Their support of the Grit chieftian in his Pacific Railway Policy—a policy which, if persisted in, will eventually bankrupt the Dominion, was another exhibition of their remarkable aptitude to grapple with affairs of State.

The Fort Francis Locks Job, the Kamin- istiquia Seandal, the Anglin Printing Out- rage, ave a few of the minor Grit eccentri- cities which they slavishly upheld, and for which they will be, doubtless, held to ans- wer.

Like a very large majority of our fellow- countrymen, we entertain the opinion that these wooden Cesars have outlived their poli- tical usefulness. We have had enough of dummies in the Dominion House of Com- THOS, a

We are quite well aware that the Grits are fit for anything—that nothing is too hot or too heavy for them—from buying the slab shanty, alias the Neebing Hotel, on the banks of the Kaministiquia, to the trampling of the Constitution of the Pro- vince of Quebec under their feet—between which offences we wish to include all their many and various degrees of political rascal- ity.

sut we cannot bring ourselves to believe that the Grits of this Province are so lost to all shame and ordinary decency as to at- tempt to inflict those four human automa. tons on us again. If, however, we should be mistaken in this opinion, we beg to sug- gest to the supporters of the ‘* Party of Purity” in this Province, who advocate re- trenchment and economy, the ‘propriety of calling for tenders from parties wishing to contract for the furnishing of four stone statues, to be modelled after the most ap- proved Grit M. P., and to be duly planted in the Dominion House of Commons, on or before the first day of the next meeting of Parliament. We might also suggest that, in the specification for the same, care should be taken to have it distinctly set forth that the skulls should be hollowed out, so as to correspond with the originals In the meantime, our Local Premier might put himself in communication with Eddison, and make arrangements with the inventor of ithe telephone and phonograph, for the use of these instruments. ’Tis but a few paces from the back row of the Grit benches to the chair of the ‘‘ unco guid McKenzie” ; hence a short telegraph line could be con- structed between the Premier and the statues, whereby everything could be made to work as sweetly as a “ marriage bell.”

Two important advantages would result from this arrangement. McKenzie would be infinitely relieved, and the Province would be no longer disgraced. True, our Reform friends—meore especially the editor of the Patriot, when he gets through ro- mancing about Free Trade and Protection -—can consider these suggestions at their leisure, as iher2 is but a very faint proba- billy o: ir being in a position after the election will hive been held to sead even

the tottering throne of Grittism at Ottawa.

The idea of Cardiff granitcs, on a small scale, or Reform dummies, may be new to the Party of Purity. Will the philosopher of “‘ my department ” ponder upon it ?

Tue Brampton T'imes hoists a flag over its editorial column and calls upon the Do- minion to remember on the 17th of Sep- tember ‘‘Mr. McKenzie’s unprecedented industry in attending not alone to his De- partmental .business, but to the general business of the country.” Said country, O! Times, will not only remember this, but ‘will generously give the Premier a long | Vacation on that day. i

The meeting held here last night was almost unanimous in tavorof the Liberal-Conservative candidates. About 80 electors were present, and out of that number 13 stood up for Me- Intyre and McFayden, all the rest were for MeDonald and Muttart. The speeches were good, and listened to with attention. Some cross-firing took place between Dr. Melutyre and Mr. S$. Mutech on the Steel Rail matter. The latter gentleman prove:l too much for the Doctor. Critism is at a discount here.

OVERWHELMING MAJORITY FOR M’DONALD AND MUTTART—OVER 200 ELECTORS PRESENT.

An enthusiastic meeting was held at Whim Road Cross, on Wednesday evening, the 28th inst. Both the Ministerial and Opposition candidates received a fair and impartial hear- ing. When a division was taken, the meeting decided almost unanimously in favor of Mc Donald and Muttart. The usual number oi Dominion officials were, of course, in attend- ance. One of the temperance men present asked the candidates their views on the Tem- perance question. Messrs, McDonald, MeFad. yen and Muttart expressed themselves in favor of Proliibition, stating that they were strict abstainers from intoxicating liquors and advocates of temperance.

Dunean Fraser, Esq., and Mr, S. Muich severally addressed the meeting strongly in favor of the Liberal-Couservative party; and the Collector of Customs for Montague spoke feelingly in behalf of the Grits,

King’s County to the Front.

(NOTES BY A TRAVELLER.)

Reports from all parts of the County are to the etfect that the Liberal-Conservative candi- dates, McDonald and Muttart, will head the poll with a large majority. They are becom- ing more and more popular every day. Scores are forsaking the trailing and tattered banner of the ** Organized Hypocrisy,” and are enlist- ing under the widespread flag of the Liberal Conservatives.

The midnight visit of McKenzie and Cart- wright did good service to the Liberal-Con- servative cause, as it showed plainly that they were afraid to face the music. Had there been a fair discussion at Georgetown, it would have been shown that we have men in this County who are not afraid to face the Premier or any of his lieutenants. But it appears that the twins of Reform thought discretion a better part of valor, and departed less thought of than when they came. The three rousin cheers given for Sir John and Dr, Tupper fel like a thunderbolt on the ears of the’ Grit officials. It was something they never thought of, and they have been so waspish ever since that it is not safe to go within a forty-foot pole of them. They are beginning to realize that there is certainly a re-action, and that on the 17th of next month one of the most corrupt and incapable of Governments that ever held the reins of power ina British Colony will be scattered to the four winds of heaven, and that men possessed of legislative and - executive ability will be called to the helm of affairs,

Liberal-Conservative electors of King’s Coun- ty, be on your guard, Your opponents will use every device under heaven to cause division in your ranks. They have the patronage of the General Government and also that of the Grit wing of the Local Government at their disposal, and if any mischief can be done they will do it. You have now the victory in your own hands. Work manfully as you are still doing, and on election day you will have the pleasing satisfaction of returning your two gentlemanly candidates .with a, majority that will cause consternation and dismay in the ranks of the grand army of Grit officials who are sucking the life-blood out of our fair Do- minion.

The Meeting in Souris.

(From the Advertiser. )

Messrs. Pope and Brecken were delayed unavoidably and could not leave the city in the morning train. They arrived in the evening and were greeted with cheers as they stepped from the carriage. In a short time Mr. James McQuaid was appointed to fill the chair, and Mr, Brecken appeared on the baleony of the hotel. We did not be- lieve that such a disreputable attempt as was made by a mob to deprive him of a hearing would ever occur among intelli- gent people. Seeing that interruption would not succeed, and that he was likely to come out victorious, they commenced, in

nearly two hours, and it would be impossi- ble to avoid admiring the refined eloquence and suasive sentiments that rolled in vol- umes from his eloquent tongue upon the stillness of the midnight air. As we lis- tened we could not help thinking that it would be well for some of the harpies that can be heard here and there trying to be- little that gentleman’s public and even his private character, if they heard, and were capable of understanding him, when ina position do de justice to himself and his subject. He was greeted with loud applause as he left the stage.

At the close a vote of thanks was ten- dered Messrs. Pope and Brecken and the crowd quietly dispersed.
