Something has happened to the Mark~ ham Economist; something at once of a strange and startling nature. The giant intellect of the editor of that sheet, after lying dormant for many months,â€" so many that the mind of man runneth not back to the beginning-has at last achiede for its possessor, if not worldâ€" wide celtbtity, at least undying fame. Medical men would have us believe that it is a dangerous symptom, if a patient who has for some months been possessed of a weak and wavering mind, suddenly gives evidence of a strong and vigorous intellect"; they consider, thatâ€"like the brilliant flash given by a light before it flickers out,â€" it denotes‘ spetdy dissolution. Perhaps, the Econo- mist scents danger and even death in the mum-rings which have been going on in this village with regard to the starting of a new Reform sheet; perhaps it fears that its friends are dissatisfied with the little brain power it has ex hibited in the past, and intend to wipe it out of existence i-hence this sudden awakening. Whether a weak and feeble, or a strong and deranged mind best be- comes this organ we leave its readers to judge ? It. certainly evinces the latter by the tone and style of its efi'usions of the past week or two. "THE LATEST ‘BIG THING’ OUITIH THURSDAY, MARCH. 28, 1878. Under the above caption that organ (1 vote! nearly a column in last week’s issue to a vain and futile attempt to prove that Mr. Metcalfe has earned less than the ordinary wages of a day laborer by his position as a member of Parlia-. ment during the past eleven years. In its attempts to prove this assertion the Economist goes into figures, and by a careful manipulation of such, from its own yoint of view,â€" by using those that 'it can not well avoid, and letting severely :alone all that it can safely do,â€"the case is so fixed, that according to its ideas, many of its readers will not hesitate to‘ htliere these assertions. Now, while we‘ admit that the average Grit,â€"â€"who has been carefully trainedâ€"will swallow al- most anythirg within the range of" probabi'ity; still,we must say,this is ask- ing altogether too muchâ€"they cannot take it down.

Verily, the Economist is not used to deep watersâ€"it goes beyond its depth, and only renders itself ridiculous by its brief departure from shallow creeks. The Economist goes on to any that Mr. Metcalfe, while only earning this bare pittance, “has been at all times and on every occasion at the heck and call of his constituency for eleven years.” "Yes, that’s it; we knew there was some- thing at the bottom of it all,â€"and now we have it.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED brought on old age before its timefl worn out his constitution; been forced} to pay 820 per week fer board; and, oh, most horrible of all, actually had “to exercise his well-known liberality on be- hqu of Home Conservatives in East York." and all this he endured that he might “at all times, and on every occasion he at the beck and call of his constituents,” and for what- that he might make less than the wages of a day-laborer. The man is a second Pitt or Fox; and ; worthy of a place (when he has departh ‘this life) among England’s most illus- trious deadâ€"â€" in Westminster Abbey. Tennyson will then be called upon to write a poem, second only in grandeur to that on “the burial of Wellington.” “For his fame on brighter pages, penned by poets and by sages ; shall go soundâ€" ing down the ages, when he has returned to dust.” Truly, this is a nice picture the Economist would like the electors of East York to gaze upon; how sad it is that we must lift the curtain and reveal the skeleton underneath. Now from Philip drunk we appeal to Philip sober; from the Economist in its derangement, we appeal to it when the fever has deâ€" parted. Is Mr. Metcalf‘e the kind of a, man who would be willing to act in this manner? The Economist says on imâ€" plies, that Mr. Metcnlfe bribed a good deal at one of his elections. We would not doubt its statement for a momentâ€"but if he bribed at one, is it not likely he might be tempted to do so at another;â€"-we think it is. We have heard many stories and rumors: (some of them coming from a very re- liable source) about extravagant prices being paid to many electors, by Mr. Metealf‘e’s friends, for certain articles; they had for sale. ‘Ve all know (the‘ Economist included) about a great use in the price of all kinds of farmers’ pro- duce, that took place during the contest 1 between Metcalfe and Milneâ€"how pork, lchiekens, geese, turkeys, etc., reached such prices as ware never heard of before. The Economist places Mr. Meteall‘e’s expenses for the three elec- tions at 83,000. Now, if oneâ€"tenth of the rumors be true (and were there is so much smoke, we naturally look for a fire) then 515,000 for that first election would he nearer the truth. It is said also that Australian gold proved very efl‘ectiye in getting some one to withâ€" draw from the contest at the Second 'elcction, and allow Mr. Metcalfe to go in by acclamationf-domc think 33,000 would not be out of the way as the cost of the second election. As for the third election it cost him so ;much that he wished to economize this time, and , commenced by franking his election cards. Now, we put this question fair and square. Can the Economist man wand up in tlze broad light of' the open day, and assert that Mr. Metcalfe is the man who would go to all this trouble and ex- pense, get into Parliament,and for what? to make money ; N0 !â€"â€"simply that he might“at all times, and on every 00- casion, be at the heck and call of his constituents,” neeixing for it less than the wages of a day-laborer. Pshaw; such nonsense is insulting to the electors of East York. Many Reformer-s will admit that Metcalf'e merely uses his position to make money,â€"and that he has been very successful in his endeavors. We have heard of Grits who were not in Parliament one year before they had received $40,000 as a reward for the influence they used in getting certain centraots into certain hands. Does the Economist mean to tell the electors of East York that Metcalfe is a man who would stay twenty-four hours at Ottawa ifhe could not make as much as a dayâ€" laborer: that he would waste his time in the Legislative Halls, when he could be reaping a rich harvest at thirty per cent. Such language more becomes the deranged than the sound mind. But, perhaps, the Economist wishes the elec- tors to infer that the laborer is only worthy of his hire? If so, we can conscientiously agree with it on that point, and so no doubt will the rate- payers of' East York. What has Met- calfe done for East York since he went. into Parliament? Echo answers what. Can the Economist show us a single good and lasting measure that this indi- vidual has introducedâ€"any great reform that he has brought about? If so, let them be produced. This organ refers to Mr. Metcalfe’s liberahty. Now, does it seem reasonable that a man who for the sake ot a few paltry dollars, franked his election cards, and thereby wronged the country of that amount would remain for eleven years a member of Parliament, “at all times, and on every occasion, at the heck and call of his constituents," and not make as much as a dayâ€"laborer. Bosh, pure and simple. “'e leave Mr. Metcali‘e with these words,--wc have seen how my brothm‘ Charles wa‘s‘ {hit if) the way of {3‘ nice, tidy s‘umf W6 have heard of friend Moore getting $30,000 in‘ the‘ lump, on the Goder‘idh Harbor; while if 'ConservatiVe offered to do the Work, and save that amount; The R'géfomi Goverdfi merit paid $5,000 for the Neebing Hotel," a barrack proved to be not wortli’ $500, and built by Grits,0nly to sell at’ la good price. It has beeri fiibuéd By evidence in the Senate that nearly" $300,000 was wasted over the Fort Francis Act; and that about the sat‘fié sum will have to be spent to make it of any use whatever. Now ifall this job lbery (which has been clearly proven) was so easily committed, will the Econo- mist tell us that Mr. Metcalfe could not if he wished, “ accumulate a comfor- table fortuue (probably not less than {$15,000,) out of his position as member of Parliament. we are very sorry, but we cannot return the compliment. We have rarely seen any editorial articles in the Economist for this last twelve monthF; the leading article is generally copied from the Monetary Times, or some other journal. When it does, once in a great while, manage to get in an original artlele it is only an inch or so in length; our friends will therefore understand our surprise when We saw an editorial nearly a column long in its last issue. There are some people so uncharxtable as to insinuate that the editor of the Econoâ€" mist did not write the article referred to; and, indeed, that f'ceblc as it is, he could not do itâ€"there has also been some talk about a lawyer, and a gentleâ€" man connected with the High School‘ having a. hand in it,â€"â€"l“~ut we have more faith in the ” dignified” gentleman, and and such as itis, think he is worthy of its authorship. The Economist tries to ridicule Dr. Tupper. VVell,we have all heard the tale of the hound and the lion; but we Wlll just give one of what the Grits fondly termed Tupper’s stretcheta. During the picnics last sum- lmer Tupper made a statement “that the harbor at Kaministiqua was frozen over so much earlier in the fall, and opened up so much later in the spring than the harbor at Prince Arthur’s landing. At the Grit picnic at Unionville, Mr. Mc- Kenzie denied the truth of this, made fun ofit, and to prove that it was not so, told his audience that it was only a few miles from one place to the other, The matter came up in the Senate a short time ago, and we see from the evidence taken that Mr. McKenzie was wrong, and the Dr. right. Now, will the Economist inform us who did the stretching ? The Economist congratulates us on the abilitydisplayefi in our articles,â€" The Concert in aid of the Richmond Hill Brass Band, held on Friday even- ing last, was certainly not as well at- tended us it should have been. When it is remembered that the Band turned out, whenever requested, (and without any recompense) in aid of many enter- tainments given In the village during the past year, we think it will be. acknowledged that the least those who were so assisted could do was to assist them. It is not very often our citizens are called upon to contribute anything For such a purpose ; therefore when the opportunity is given, they should em- brace it. Should the band decide to give another entertainment we trust our citizens "will not he backward in coming forward” to help them. forward” to help them.

At eleven o'clock last I night the scene on that street beyond Osgoode Hall was a perfect pandemouium, The two miserable tayerns wrecked by’ the mob have sufl‘ered the same fate so many times before that they should by now be; almost accustomed to the process. But, it is a very long time since so viciously-disv posed a gatheling has been seen In our streets. The visit of O’Donovan Russo. had theefl'ect of arousing the worst passions of the mob. However, it is all over now; and after the vigorous use of their clubs by the city policy last night, when the word was given to charge, it is not at all likely there will he witnessed here a. repetition of such disorderly scenes for a long time to come. Nothing could possibly have been ‘ better than the conduct of the police, who ‘ displayed the utmost forbearance and moderation until the decisive rush became neccessary. The Volunteers also deserve raise for mastering punctually in readiness in case their services should be required. The “Secretary to the Fenian Skirmish- ifig Fund” displayed consummate general‘ ship in the manoeuvres by which he evaded the edy‘andes of his admirers and othets who felt di'spos‘e‘d‘to intrude upon him. The mud-hole incident doti‘v‘n by the round-house rather mars the symmetry of‘ the Demon- stration as a whole; but téw‘ things are per- fect in this world.

In vzew of the approaching general elec- tion there is considerable activity among our city politicians, and the work of organization is steadily going forward. The electors of Centre Toronto are scarcely disposed to give Mr. John Macdonald another chance to display his peculiar viewu of “independence.” The Rine affair at Stratlord has rather puzzler] xhat gentleman’s admirers in this city, who have scarcer made up their minds yet whether to regard him as a martyr or a fraud. That “homestead” scheme projected for his benefit has caused a good many even amrng temperance men, to regard him merely as a clever speculator on public creduliry. The nomination of Mr. Boullbee for Ens! York. has given great satisfnclion to his numerous friends, who haven. very high opinion of his ability. Mr. Dymond’s silly sneers in his daily column of senrrilily telegraphed from Ottawa to the Globe are regarded with general contempt. There are many indications that the Re- form leaders are becoming a little doubtful of their hold upon the ridines of York. The “moribund member for North York,” as some irreverent writer recently styled him, is doing his best by an occasional judicious ptlfi'tu the notorious “News from the Capital.” to inspire the constituents of the three ridings with a correct perception of the uuwent‘ying vigilance displayed by the gentlemen who condescend to repre- sent them in Parliament. But iftbe Liber- al Conservatives of the County continue to manifest timing the coming campaign the same unanimity and enthusiasm which has marked their action so far. there need be little fear as to the result. Senator Brown has returned from his short want to the Capital, where his pres- ence has scarcely strengthened the hands f of the Government. It is a mutter of go .- eral belief that the present crisis in Quebec is the result of Mr. Brown’s interference in the political ntl'uirs of the Province while at Mantreal. Recent nrticlrs in the Globe de- fending the violent and unconstitutional course of the Liamâ€"Governor of Quebec in dismitsing a Ministry supported by two- thirds ofthe Assembly, have excited the most unbounded astonishment among its readers. They afforda striking comment upon that quotation from Junius which the iournul in question proclaims so conspicu- ously as its motto. The and fate of Rev. Mr. Marplcs excites universal sympathy for his family, “ho are left in a stnte of complete destitution.

Mr.vMa.rples was highly respected in this City by all who were acquainted With him: and their sym- pathy with his widow and family will proli- ahly take practical shape in the form of substantial assistance. This”City of Churches” is yearly beâ€" :eoming more notable for its display of Ecclesiastical architecture. 0f the two Presbyterian Churches lately opened, the the Gerrard Street building is not yet sufficiently ndvanced for one to form an idea ofits general design; the portion now occupied by the Congregation being only the school rooms. New St. Andrew’s, on Jarvis Street, is not an attractive building, being decidedly clumsy and heavy in its appearance, both inside and out. At the same time for comfort and convenience it is unsurpassed by any Church in the Citv. It is understood that the old building, formerly Gould Street Presbyterian Church, is here- after to be occupied by the Irvingite, or “Catholic Apostolic” Congregation, which now won-ships in a very unpretending edifice a few hundred yards away. .We shall be well supplied with hospitals when the schemes now decided upon are all carried into effect.

This will beZa most valuable acquisition to the City. Then th ere is to be an eye and ear hospit- al; and aspecinl course of treatment for confirmed inebriates. It will not be for- gotten that the Asylum at Hamilton was originally built for this latter purpose. Public opinion is much divided about the new water works regulations. People who have been accustomed to rely upon their supplies of well-water are unwflling to pay for City water which they do not use. The advocates of compulsory rate, however, claim that there is not a well in the City free from sewage; and that a great deal of the prevalent disease is attributable to this. Another death from typhoid fever at the Central Prison. This looks as if there was something radically wrong in the sanitary arrangements.
