The pertinent question here is, for whose good is this truth-killing state of affairs? \Vho derive a ben- efit from this total and humiliating abnegation of reason and honor? The smzrll, but still too large, army ot‘placemen, contractors and politi- cal pilies, For these, and for theSe alone, are the emoluments which flow from the people’s ignorant en- thusiaszn and party prejudice. Setting aside all that has been \vritten ( nd said from motives 0t gain or from others equally dishon- orable, men and newspapers have habitually made the tremendous mistake of supposing that belief in principles entails of necessity acâ€" quiescence, and much more, in every act of the conspicuous champions of these principles. This is anerror, happily for the well-being of the community, almost entirely limited to the domain 01 politics. There is no society, rellgions or secular,which does not purge itself of members rho have become notorious violators of its laws. In the political com- pact alone, it is taken for granted that every misdeed of a friend must be ignored or COI]dOllCd,Rl]d that ev- ery ‘wise orvirtuous act ofa toe must be llouted and misrepresented. The result of this is not astonishing. Tell the average Conservative that some head ot his party has been guilty of a flagrant wrong, produce the most irretragable evidence of that wrong, he is incredulous, and is content with no better answer than that the Grits are indulging in their favorite pastime ot lying and slandering. Tell the average Liberal that his party has been prostitutingits power to some foul political exigency, he laughs scornt'ully, and dismisses the Charge with hot words on Tory scoundrelism. And so it has come about that we are a nation of liars and caluminators. 01‘ again, consider the hold which The lVeuk 01 Toronto is rapidly gain- ing on the thinkingpubhc.

And we repeat that there are more than one indication of this Change. That our wish is not father to this thought, witness the outspoken discontent of the Orange body. Unflinching siip- porters of Sir John A. Macdonald through all his chequeer career, at last this association seems to be on the point of demanding the why and wherefore of their unfaltering alle- giance. The Riel business is the little lcaven which, if Orangemen are freemen and not slaves, will le'aven the whole mass. Never, in the annals of the Cana- dian press, was'tne spirit at dISCUS’S- ion so rlle, so spirited and so impa- tient of restraint as at the present day. There are not wanting signs which indicate that many organs, long the slaves ofa h ide-bound par- tizanship, will speedily throw off the irksome yoke, and thenceforth speak, not what will please party, but what the public interests de- mand. We by no means attribute this flush of independence Wholly to the awakening of proprietors and editors from the hideous nightmare which has so long oppressed them, although, Without doubt, this is a potent factor in the grand product. But we are convinced that men are Sick of tirades of abuse of political opponents, and they are weary of drivelling adulation of political friends. It is beginning to be felt that truth is in inverse ratio to ex- travagance of language.VVe are all,1t l is truenvelteringin a sea of mud, but, it dry land is ever to be reachedpur efforts must not be directed solely to l pulling those who differ from us deeper down than we are ourselves.

Last Friday afternoon our village put on holiday attire and turned out to wit- ness a lacrosse match between the 2nd twelve of the Young Canadianzs, nf Rich- mond Hi1], and our home lezimâ€"the Maple Leafs. Arrangements had been made with the Young Dominiuiis, of Aurora, but they disappointed the buys at the last moment. However the match proved very exciting to all, every game beingr well contested, especially the 1st and 2nd. Our boys played :1. plucky game, but they lack lhat splendid team play which characterizes the Ynung Cm:- adians, and which has 5m nften brought victory to Richmond Hill. The games were all in favor of the visitors. Time 12, 24 and 4 minutes respectively. The best of feeling prevailed throuuhnnt the match, and the thanks of the Maple Leafs is due the Young Canadians fur their kindness in coming out on such short no- nee. In the evening a concert was givnn in the Masonic Hall by the lacrosse club, which was a success both financially and otherwise.
