The Beform(?) party have come to the conclusion that their chances for getting a majority at the coming election are very small in- deed; and they are, thereforc,like their brethren in Ontario, leaving no stone unturned to get in their men. No acâ€" tion, however base, dishonorable or disâ€" honest, appears too low or mean for them to undertake. Those Retormers ('2) are very strange people. As long as they are in Opposition they protest against bribes of any kind; and all nefarious transactions, but give them a chance to get into power and this cloak of morality is thrown to the winds, leaving exposed to the gaze of the world all this hypocrisy and corruption which they had kept for years so skillfully covered up. Our readers are well aware how true this has proved in Ontario, both in the Dominion and Local House; and now we see by the Montreal Star, a thoroughly independent paper, that the Reformers ('3) of Quebec are fast ac- quiring the lesson which their Ontario brethren have conned so well. Mr. Parcaud,an agent of the Joly Ministry, was accused at a public meeting in Arthabaskaville of offering to sell the vacant registrarship of Three Rivers to Mr. Duval, in consideration of the sum l of $1,500; which sum was to be used‘ in securing the election of the Hon. Mr. 1 Langelier. Minister of Crown Lands, for Portneuf. The Star says that if an ordinary person made the statement it would not pay any attention to it, but it was made by Dorais.a gentleman whose high reputation and respectability is vouched for by the Star. This gentleman stated in the presence of Mr. Pacaud that he would prove it by documentary evidence. This is only one instance, there are many more of similar nature; and still these men are Reformers, trying to put down bribery and corruption. Out upon such hypocrisy ! There really seems to be no way of keeping these Reformcrs straight but by sending them to the Opposition benches, from which they will never get back. They have had their day. “Paddy"--â€"H. C. Quetton St. George. Fair Warning-«M. H. Keefler Court of Revision-“Jag. M. Lawrence. Thepopulation of the world is made of some strangely constructed beings. In the West Riding of York ; yea, even in Richmond Hill, we have persons so constituted, that they will actually argue that because Mr. Blain has a readier tongue than Mr. \Vallace, therefore he is to be preferred to Mr. W. as our representative. When the Grits have to resort. to such cries, their cause must be had, indeed. Even setting aside the wisdom contained in the old philosopher’s remark, “Speech is silvern; silence is golden," surely men of ordinary intel- ligence will not give it as their honest opinion that a “bore,” such as Mr. Blain has proved himself to be, is preferrable to a gentleman holding such a reputation asdoes Mr. Wallace. ‘ He has already been elected to as equallyâ€" if not more honorable a position, than M. P. for West York. Holding as he does the position of Warden of the County, of York, he represents the people ot the whole County, (and is the first Deputy Reeve who had that honor), whereas the Member only repre- sent one of the three Bidings into which the County is divided. Now, is it natural to suppose that the men who compose the County Council are not capableot judging the ability a man posseses; that they do not know whether Mr. Wallace is capable of creditably filling the position to which they ap- nointed him? We think our readers will concur in our opinion that unless Mr. Wallace was in every way worthy of the honor, it wculd not have been cenferred upon him. We do not want men in Parliament, who are merely able to getup and talk for an hour or so, without achieving anything besides retarding the business of the House. This is what Mr. Blain excels in. Time after time he has been openly snubbed by the leading men of both sides, but still he persists in forcing upon the members his weary platitudes. On many occasions his own friends have felt their cheeks burn with shame, on account of the nonsensical orations (‘0 Which he contimles to inflict upon them; while he furnishes the Opposition with ample amusement. In fact, it has simply come to this,~-immediately Blain arises, the signal is given for a general stampede, and he is left to talk to many empty benches and but very few members; those who do remain, only do THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1878 THE HERALD. GOOD OLD REFORMERS! SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED WALLACE AND BLAIN. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. so for the purpose of either witnessing the fun, or keeping him in hand, so that he will not get altogether beyond bounds. The kind of men we want to represent us, are clear-headed, shrewd, men, Who are paid attention to when they arise to address the House, and who can put their ideas into very few words. Such a man is Mr. Wallace. We do not wish to send men to Ottawa who have become the laughingâ€"stock of the House. The following extract from the Mail will show how he has been conducting himself lately, and that even Metcalf‘e is preferable because; if he does not say much, he at least, does not reflect ridicule upon his Riding :â€" Mr. Bluin ought to be called the mal- apropos member of the House. It is not often that he does the right thing even by chance. but if ho did happen to do the right thing he would be certain to do it at the wrong time, and in the wrong way. He wasted a full hour this evening by his per- sistency m pressing, when the House was in Committee of the Whole, a point of order as to whether Mr. Irving’s stamp bill was properly before the House. Hecontended that it imposed a new tax, and should have originated by resolution in Committee of the Whole. Put down time and again, time and again he jumped up to press his point. It was only after Sir John Mac- donald had very clearly and conclusively shown that the duty of the Committee was simply to consider the‘i‘elauses of the I‘ll that the Chairman, Mr. Wocd, ruled against Mr. Blain’s point of order. The proper time to take the objection was when the Speaker was in the chair. Driven to the right course at last, 'the Member for West York had the grim satisfaction of finding the Speaker against him. This is but one of many exhibitions of a similar nature which Mr. Blain has made this ses- sion, both in the Committee and thefHouSe. A few weeks ago a large number of workingmen interviewed both Premiers, and asked for assistance to go up to the Northwest, and establish homes for themselves. These men represented mechanics of all classes, laborers, etc., who having been out of work for a long time, were unable to transport either themselves or families to the North West, unless they were assisted. They did not ask for a gift, but only that a sum be advanced, sufficient to pay their travelling expenses and purchase agri- cultural implements; and they were wil- ling that the Government should hold a mortgage on the land until the amount advanced had been paid. In reality they asked for very little more than the Government gives every day to foreigners. But how did our truly parental Government answer them. The Premier replied that they did not think it would be advisable or judicious to establish the precedent of moving men around from one part of the country to the other; and, furthermore, that it would cost a large amount of money to do so. Very good ('1’) reasons, we must say; it is a great deal better to let those: men and their families beg or starveâ€"l ‘ and they must do either, for they can- not get workâ€"than to assist them a little. But, how in the name of com- mon sense, does the Government recon- cile their answer in this matter to the policy they are pursuing regarding emit gration. Over a quarter of a million of dollars was expended last year to bring into Canada all kinds of mechanics and laborers, many of whom threw up very good situations in the old country, hop- ing to do better hereâ€"as they surely would have doneâ€"it the Emigration Agents were telling the truth. But here they are, unable to get employment, and only augmenting the distress. How much better it would be, if instead of continuing to fill the country with such persons, the Government would aid those already here to settle and clear up the North;west. But, no that can- not be done; what would all those Grit 'Emigration .Agents do then, if their salaries were withdrawn 7 They must get this pay in some manner, no matter how the country fares The impression is growing stronger that the Government will not bring on the elections until after harvest. Knowing that they have a desperate case to go to the country on, they intend to take advantage of what promises to be an abundant harvest, in hopes that their many short-comings will be forgot- ten or overlooked in the general rejoicâ€" ing about the “good times.” What have the Grits to say about the matter now,â€"when Sir John has entered a criminal action for libel against the Globe, and the Belleville Ont rio? The Hamilton Times and the London Advertiser may think themselves yery fortunate if they get off with the loss of only a few thousands. The Advertiser has had to retract its statements about Mr. Plumb, and after the way it has acted in that affair we should not be surprised to see it take a back doubleâ€"summerâ€"sault about Sir John, and declare that not only was he not drunk, but that he was the only sober man Within the House. Hard as it would be to do this, the ’Tszer would prefer it to loosing the “hard cash.” The Dominion Government allows their officials to go down to Quebec and electioncer for the Reformers. When questioned about it in Parliament, Huntington said there was no work for them to do. Nice spectacle for a Re form Government. Blake condemned the action of the officials, and Jones said the Conservatives did the same thing. It was proved, however, that Jones was mistaken. IMMIGRANTS WAN TED] ! Editorial Items. Conservative Mass Meeting at Richmond Hill. (Continued) Mr. Foy said Lane had stated that the Local House passed more acts, and filled more books with their business 5 than the Dominion had ; but we do not estimate the value of our law as we 1 do our wood or wheat, by the cord or bushel. The fact was apparent that no matter how many books they had filled, we have not received anything like value for our money. Lane went back to ’58; but although deficits may have existed then. they are not a burden upon the people now, and therefore not what we are interested in. What we want is to remedy the state of things now existing; ‘not what existed in ’58. The Reform Ministers, since the Conservatives went out, had suflicient revenue to pay their expenses, but still they got heavily into debt. Mr. Lane attempted to show that Protection meant increase of taxes. This could not be substantiated. The policy of the Opposition is to readjust the tariff, by taking off the duty on one article and putting it on another. if the duty is taken of? raw material and put- on other things, it does not increase the taxes. There are three classes that make up the body of electors. There is the Conservative and the Beformer,i and then there is a middle class of thinking men, who really control the elections. This class is not strongly attached to one or the other party. They read and listen to what is said on both sides, and then make up their minds how to vote. These are the men who turn Ministers out of power; who, in reality, accomplish all the great . changes. No doubt there are many of just such persons here. I will give you the views of many of this liberal classâ€" , the third party I have just spoken of. Those of them who supported the Grits at last election expected to see the country ruled in a better manner than formerly ; they hoped that those whom they had helped into power would fulfil their promises. Well, the first thing they seen was the extreme selfishness of those who asked their votes to get into power. When a good office was to be filled, they popped themselves into it, re- gardless ofhow the country fared. Four members of the Cabinet have secured offices with salaries of from $7,000 to $10,000 on each; and Vail is expected to follow suit. Fonrnier and others also looked out for good situations. These are the men who wanted to govern the country; correct all abuses, and inaugerate great reforms. This third class. or really liberal party, did not approve of such actions, but it did not stagger them all; they still expected some great measures which would do good to the Dominion. Five yea-s have passed away and they do not st‘e any; they have now come to tho conclusron that the Reform Ministry were as Blake had said, “ a Re- form Government with nothing to Reform." (Cheers) But although many of this middle class turned against the Reform Government when they saw them acting thus, still there were many who continued to believe that they would do something.“ Those people thought we would have econ- omy at least. But how has this turned out. There has been an increased expenditure ‘ in every department. They have recklessly isquandered money in bringing immigrants nto the’country. This money should not lhave gone into the pockets of friends of the lGovernment, but if expended at. all. it should have been for the benefit of the immigrants. Another point which this middle class, these liberal men w'shed to see carried out, was purity Well, they have seen it with a vengeance. With one exception. every petition filed against a Reformer, has resulted in the election being quashed, on account of bribery or illegal acts. And to complete the work of severing from them the third class, they have refused to do anything to alleviate the suffering at present existing in the country. Those liberal-minded men say they will not support such a Government any more, as every pledge has been broken, every promise unfulfilled, but they will go in with the Opposition who will give them such a policy as wrll build up the country. "It is no news to many leading Reformer: in Notth York to state that the political complexion of the constituency has under- gone considerable change since last elec- tion~arising partly from the fact that new issues are now presenting themselves as of paramount importance, which heretofore were regarded as of secondary or minor in characterâ€"arising also from the almost absolute certainty that no tnconsiderable section of our voting population, who sup- ported the reform candidate then, will now be found acting in harmony with the Con- serv ative party in the approaching contest” Mr. Fay then highly recommended both of the Conservative Candidates, aqd ex- pressed hls belief that they would redeem East and West York. Mr. Boullbee, in reply to Mr. Lane, contradicted his assertions, and satisfactor- ily explained his reasons for casting his vote as he did on the overthrow of the Sandfield Government. Mr. Davin spoke very strongly in favor of both Messrs. Wallace and Beultbee, and eaid there was no comparison between the latter gentleman and Metcalfe. After a vote of thanks was tendered the chairman. the meeting dispeised with three cheers for Sir John. The Newmarket Era thinks IEmelius Irving, Esm, or J Pamham, Esq., would be good Candldam for North York in the Reform interest. It has no hopes for Dymond. At a meeting held in Toronto on Fri- day evening last, Mr. John Macdonald was selected to contest centre Toronto in ‘he Reform interest. The Newmarket Era is certainly one of the best exchanges we have on our list. In neatness, general get up, and the ability displayed in its articles, it has very few superiors in Ontario, as a country newspaper. It concludes an ably-written article in last week’s paper on the political situation in North York, with these words, which will be found only too true :â€"â€"- Colored Kid GlovesNo. 6, 61-, 6;»,633 and 7, at. 50 cents per pair, at Crosby’ .

Last week Generals J oavanowsky and Zimmerman sent to Fazli Pasha at Schumla and Ahmed Kaiserli at Varna, formal de- mands for the surrender of those places. The answers were that no orders to do so had been received. Threats were then used. The Russians begged permission to occupy the outer lines, leaving the inner lines and the towns to the Turks. The Turks declined. The Russians pressed the point. Let us talk no more about. this foolishness, was Ahmed Kaiserli's last answer. It is rumored from Vienna that Von Moltke, the Well-known German strategist, now visiting Copenhagen, is commissioned to negotiate a. league between Denmark, Russia and Germany for closmg the Baltic.

After tour years slumber, the charge of immorality brought against the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, is again revived, and this time in a more definite and posi- tive shape than before. Mrs. Tilton now deliberately confesses that she and the reverend pastor of Plymouth Church are guilty 'of the crime imputed to them. Mr. Beecher promptly confronts her confession with an “explicit and absolute ienial.” The Herald rumours that Beecher has startling evidence of con- spiracy between Moulton and Tilton, and is about to begin the offensive.
