RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Sept.17, ’85 @112 :fliifiemi. We are far from wishmg to play the role of alarmist. In the face of an evil, however, not only threatenâ€" ing,but b1g with danger, duty makes us careless of the names which may be bestowed on us, and accordingly we have no diffidence in speaking bluntly our minds. Typhoid fever has again made its appearance in our village. II we are correctly informed, there are al- ready three cases, and this number of victims from a disease, to, which special conditions give largely the nature of an epidemic, is quite suf- ficient to render a thorough over- hauling of our dwellings and premi- ses absolutely necessary. We have a Board of Health, the members of which are undoubtedly energetic and effluent. We have an Inspectâ€" or, against whom we have no desire to say one word. But the question whicn must be put, and which must not be e\ aded, is,to what is the pres- ence of this malignant disease due ? Certainly, the ready answer will be given, to aceumulations of filth, to impurities in our drinking water. But where are these abodes of nasti- ness? What causes this pollution of our wells? T his is the iniormation for which we ask, and which the public have a right to get. And this inioi‘mation must be of the most precrse and explicit kind. b W'ith a danger so formidable star- ing us in the face, it would be a crime to allow regard for the leelâ€" ings oi any individual or individuals to have the least weight. The truest iricndship here is to speak the plain truth in the plainest words; and he is the best neighbor who refuses to permit his own property, and ju.t as resolutely the property of others, to become a hot-bed ot pestilence. \V'lrat consideration deserves a man who, l'rcn‘. carelessness1 ignorance, indifference, or love 0t gain, is_ wizl- iizg to sacrifice the’liVes of those around him P For what mercy should he look who is too selfish to have mercy on others? \Vhy pur- sue the subject further? It is abOVe argument, and the conclusion is in- evitahle. Stove sâ€"C.Mason. Executors’ Nanceâ€"ACME}! & J . Ireland. Change-P. G. Savage. The public relies on the Board of Heath iUL' requisite sanitary precau- tions. These can only be adequate- ly taken when the neededknowledge is afforded. This knowledge must come from the Inspector, and he can gain it only by a most careful and unflinching examlnation ' of every hole and corner in the Village. Let him do his duty. Let him put aside all fear. Society is seldom weaker than the individual, and where the latter is wrong, and the former right, victoyr is neither doubiful nor far to seek. \Ve think the day is not far distant when Grit‘ and T0237 will cease in their mad struggles against each ozlier. We do not oplne by any means that the result of this armis- tice \xill be peace. There will be new lines drawn, and the opposing ranks will be English and French. It is impossible to mistake the spirit of the French press. The Lower Canadians are at present animated by a fierce renewal of natt'ovmli'wzy a strange compound consisting of equal parts of hatred ofthe English and love of France. 50 long as old FI‘LLILCC continues republican and radical, Conservam‘e Quebec will submit in silence to British rule, but should the ‘ eldest son ofthe church’ ever legaln his rights, the. cry will then he, ‘ Look to Paris.’ At first srght, it would appear strange that a colonv which [or more rhan a century has quietly ac- quiesced in a comtiliou imposed by‘ the late of arms, should suddenly raise 115 head In undisguised mutiny. All that Quebec knows of freedom, it has learned from England, all it ha: gained from Just and stable gov- ernment, it owes to England. Yet, now, it has noihing but abuse and all'ected scorn for its benefactor. Never was the sting so completely taken from ccnquest as was done in the terms of surrender contained in tlre Treaty of Paris (1763). Riglits 01 property,civ11 and religious rights, all were guaranteed, and that guar- antee has been kept with English 5c; upulousness and English lldnor.

In an insane and criminal attempt to crush the oppos- ing power, Quebec has been given the balance otpOWer. Now, what- ever may be the position ofa French Canadian in Dominion politics, Rouge or Bleu, his first love is 1115 own province. Every vote he gives at Ottawa, he endeavors to make redound to the glory of Que- bec. The hot and stupid partizan- shin of his English neighbors, he utilizes for his own benefit. The re- sult is that,whether from wanton in- solence, or from a real outburst or affection for fatherland, Quebec is holding forth its hands to old France. Nor is the latter ignorant of the feel- ing which pervades its one-time de- pendency. Here is an extract trom a Paris journal which a Montreal paper reproduced in its columns. Styling it a ‘ Touching Comparison.’ Our readers will at once see that we have good foundation lor what we state :â€"« ‘ It 1s a singular and inexplmable thmg that, since our continental dis- asters oi 1870,7the relations between _V-___ <- -_l-, , Canada and France have taken a new extension. The echoes ofthose disasters have painfully resounded in the heart of a population which has remained French in manners, language, race and memory. And, on the other hand, public opinion among ourselves has felt the need of drawing more closely the bonds which unite it to those Frenchmen of the eighteenth century. Herein there seems to be a moral compenâ€" sation'for national disaster. If France emerged, from the war With Germany,a diminished power, in return, the French race has lost nothing; and they who, in the pride of victory, assert that we are a peo- ple in decline, see their assertions belied by the tact that this old French shoot, held to be dead, is imâ€" planted and prospering in the very midst ofits conquerors, without beâ€" ing impaired, although defeat and annexation date from more than a century. There is nothing more consoling for us than this example of Canada. It permits us to hope that {lie prov- inces recently conquered by Prussia, Alsace and Lorraine, will oppose to the victors of yesterday the same tenacity of” feeling which marks our compatriots .ui Nuttliyduuc‘n in the preseime of their Anglo-Saxon rulers.” Amidst the many and beautiful flowers with which the unshackled freedom of the subject has swu ten- ed and adorned life, there has sprung up one weed especially rank and noxious. We mean the ‘ Pro- fessional Politician.’ \Vhatever he touches, he blights. \Vherever he flourishes, all that is good and sound and wholesome speedily decays. And, in Canada, his name is legion. He is found at the. foot ofthe ladder, he sits perched on the topmost rung Let him he never so protean. his every disguise fails to conceal l‘V peculiar characteristicâ€"the facr of usmg all men and all things seltâ€"aggrandizement. \Vords of p. triotism flow from his lips, yet the sounds are ths jingle of silver.

He courts the rich with the sole View of swelling the amount of his cheque- book. In every strug,r rle, in every thought, In every action, he is tor self alone. He will continue to ex- ist so long as people are endowed With more liberty than brains, With more rights than morality, with More power than knowledge. He is the stay 0t political conventions, he is the bane 01 political purity. He is respected more than justice, and, at the present time, he is our un- crowned kind.
