(From the Winnipeg: Sun.) The Mail seems to be going from bad to worse in its articles dealing with the :i.91)roaicliilig elections in Ontario. The local cabinet are called “ bummers and bailiffs,” while Mr. Mowat is selected for the distinguished epithet of “ the little donkey.” The young man with the 110 weriul mind, who left the sounding sea to dwell in the pulp tower, doubtless thinks that such blackguardism as this exercises a powerful influence upon the minds of the electors. In this he is right, but he is mistaken if he imagines that the powerful influence exercised is to the a lvantage of the Conservative party. If t llS young man from the sounding sea h ul any pretentious to judgment he Would know that the surest way to create sympathy for a man is to abuse him reck- l:ssly. \Vhatever may be his faults, Mr. Mowat is neither a. bummer, bailifl', nor a donkey. He is an honest man, who by personal worth and perseverance has raised himself both in his profession and ii political life to an eminence which 0 nnmands the respect of honest men, though evidently it cannot shield him from the abuse of those who, like the present editor of the llIail, are in- (lehted in no inconsidérable degree to m nisterial patronage for attaining to po« s rions of responsibility, in which they 9; 'e constantly engaged asserting their in- c tpziciiy. It is an open secret among newspaper men that the present editor of the Mail obtained and retains his po- s tion through the influence of Sir. 0 rules Tupper; the object being to' boom the minister of‘railways for the premier- ship when Sir John Macdonald retires. , ‘mt we are sure the press of Canada. does “not intendfio let blackguardisni go on- Mr. John White, the member elect for East Hastings, is a. model of generosity. lfis election has been protested and he cuuly proposes, that though, as charged, in: is innocent of bribery, by self or friends, he is willing to admit bribery by agents if his proposition is acceptable to the lieformers of the riding.

ROWELL & CO’S 111mm (10 5931103 There seems to be a growing sentiment in Canada, especially in the large centres \ of population such as Toronto, in favor of . regarding Sunday as a day of pleasure and physical recreation rather than a day of rest and spiritual recreation. The subject has-been pretty freely discussed through the press and even some of the public journals advocate more “liberty of conscience,” as they sometimes term it, with regard to the keeping of tlieSabb-ath day. The following extract from 3 Ti.- ronto daily of Monday last will show the tendency, to some extent, there is to re» ‘ gard Sunday as a. day of pleasure and amusement :â€"“ Yesterday was a pretty lively Sunday. There was an excursion ‘ came into the city from Buffalo, the Rupert took another to Hamilton, the island ferries were all running, the yachts were a number of them out, small boats dotted the buy, the livery stables did a thriving trade, and the stupid old Globe capped the climax by bringing out a Sun- day paper without any news." “ \Ve’er making progress ” said a well-known liberal on Sunday matters, when he step- ped off the Rupert last night on her re- turn from Hamilton and heard of the Globe’s escapade. He said that at Ham- ilton the Rupert also took an cxcurson to Lorne park. There were carriages and street cars in Hamilton awaiting the ex- ? cursionists and when they got up town there was the steam car to take a numb- , er ofthem to Dundas. ”A short time ago l the paper from which this is taken issued ‘ an edition on Sunday, and when the “ stupid old Globe,” whose enterprise in many respects is very commendable, ap- pears witha Sunday edition, after the ,‘stand it has .slways taken on Sabbath observation. we are comoelled to ask, “ where will all this and l” W'e would ‘not curtail the liberty of any. but we would see the Sabbath day regarded as the bible would have us regard it. “Reâ€" member the Sabbath day to keep it holy” is still aliring part of the moral law, which will continue binding to the end of time, and he who sanctions its viola. tion no less than the violator will stand ‘ answerable to the court from which it lssned. This Might to be the strongest motive forits observance, but the hu- ‘ man bearings of the subject alone should 3 be a strong motive. \Vhen are the em- , ployees of these railways, these steam- ‘ boats. these street cars and these printing establishments going: to get their rest if they have to work on Sunday? As has been'shown repeatedly we will be the loosers morally, socially and financially if the observance of the Sabbath becomes rebuked, let the object he what it may. In the past the Globe has been freely condemned for its personalities, but there was always a rude strength and vigor in the blows of the Globe. The Mail, how- ever, can now take a lesson in polite be- havior from the Globe, but if the Con- servative organ prefer to indulge in per: sonalities it had better hunt up the back files of its contemporary and learn to strike with vigor below the belt. There is some satisfaction) in fighting and supâ€" pressing ‘mute blackguardism ; but it is almost a humiiation to be called upon to help put down what is nothing better than the impudence of the nursery. The follmving article appeared in the Toronto» Telegram on Friday, and will shut the mouth of the Guelph Herald and other unprmcipled tory journals that have been harping on the same string for same time :â€" Sm.â€"I beg to hand you an extract from the Petu-boro’ Rebicw of Aug. 11, which came under my observation the other day. It is a question which can stand a. little ventilation on the part of the license commissioners, especially as the provincial elections are approacliin”. It reads as follows :â€"â€" a thing of lhe past, as it has to a large extent in the Unitnd States. Can there not be smnetlliug done to prevent this drifting away from the good old land- marks of the bible. \Ve trust it will be long bpfnre Canada gains the unénviable reputation) so justly earned by our cous- ins across the lines of being “ the wisest and wickedest people in the world. ’ The Gneiph Herald makes the follow- ing serious charge against one of Mr. Mowat’s License Inspectors. The matter should be investigntad, and if the charge is proved, the amplest apology should be mmie :~â€" “ Some days ago we challenged the Globe to deny the fact that attempts were made during the recent election contest to influence voters by threats of with- holding the issue of liquor licenses by the Ontario Government unless the tavern- keepers gave their influence and votes in favour of the Grit candidate. We have had no reply to our sex-ions charge.

Gordon Bennet’s (I-pinion. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.â€"Mr. J. Gordon Bennett was in Constantinople a few days since and saw the Sultan, and now the Herald’s correspondent there reports the Sultan as saying:â€"â€"“ The difficulties aris- ing out of the breach between Arabi and the Khedive might easily have been ar- ranged had not the appearance of the fleets aroused the native feeling and dos troyed my plans for the reconciliation oi the opposing factions.” The Sultan con- sidered the bombardment most cruel and unjust. He saidzâ€"“The English say there is no j.istice among us yet let us look at Ireland. England’s Irish subjects are simply demanding that light which here in Turkey is universally granted to the people. Such troubles as the Irish agrarian riots would be impossible in Tur- key. England boasts her superior justice yet We have what she does not grant her subjectsâ€"«n equitable land law, under which farmers and even farm laborers are protected in their rights. I am sure that when all the facts are known in America and other impartial countries, the action of England will be condemned as arbit- ram,' and unjust.

In reference to the ’above, a. Telegram reporter this morning waited on Mr. Andrew Henderson at his hotel on the Kingston road, opposite the \Vnodbine.

The only timé‘heme't Mr. Dohert'fr during the contest was in the company of Messrs. John Small and Peter Ryan. Mr. Henderson further said that he did not get his licen‘se from the city license commissioners, but from the County onox-k. He said he could Seeure a license without grunting any favours, and if any threats were held over his head, he‘d be blowedif they would influence him any.
