lly means oi Prohibition the Mail is eudeétvoring to form a third party. In as much as very nearly all the Temperance legislation which Can- ada enjoys has been given by Re- formers, the Mail very Wisely con- cludes that of those who would form the new party at least nineâ€"tenths would be Liberals“ The Conserva- tives will, 01 course, be expected to star-d by their own candidates. The third party is a mere cat's paw to weaken the Reformers. And this is one way in which Bunting hopes to crush his enemy. The exact use the Mail proposes to wake 0t its political Protestant- Jsm one may easily guess. The Mail reasons that there is in all, or in nearly all, breasts a certain aâ€" mount. of latent bigotry. If this bigotry can only be evoked. then, to the shame of Protestantism of course, but certainly to the injury of Mr. Mowai, hinting will have scored a point against the supposed cause of all his shame and woes. The means taken to arouse this war ot creeds are not, indeed, very rep- utalrle. They are not such as a christian could conseientiously em- ploy. They are,in iact,a compound ot falsehoods, lmayery and absurd alarms. Butwhat ot that? Bunt- in;I has sworn that Mowat must go, and the man who was proved to be an accomplice ot the Brood is not at all likely to he particularin his ways and weapons. For him tair is foul, and toul is fair. l’erish every other Consideration, if Mowat be struck (low-,1. Grip has allowed itselfto be guilty ofa gross wrong. It is no more thanjusticc to the ebony bird to say that this Is a charge which can sel- Gum be laid at its door. But in de- picting‘ Mr. G. 13. Smith as the nom- inee of the liquor interest, truth and lair-play are ruthlessly and ignor- autly butchered. Indeed, the facts oi the case are so notorious that we are perfectly astonished that any one, let alone the usually so well in- formed Grip, could possibly have made a blunder ludicrous in its im- mensity. The Convention at Mark- ham was one of the largest ever held in the riding of East York. The, Votes cast at the first ballot tor Mr. \Vc cannct congratulate Bunting on the goal ofhis ambition. And we feel certain that, when the proper time comes, tn? people of Ontario will treat his screams ior'vcugeance with the scorn and ridicule which {hwy merit. Prohiblfion apd Protestantism. A few months ago a cheap book for school children seemed to the pious Journal a strong cry. But it has given Lhat up, and now 1; goes In iorthc two P's. It will he remembered that Bunt- ing made the most strenuous en- deavors to clear himself of the foul charge. it will be also remembered that he inglerieusly failed. And for this he has continued to hate Mr. Mowat only he who has been trapped in crime can hate his captor. Hence it is apparent to all that the Mail, that is, Bunting, is far more :xnxrons to defeat Mr. Mowat than it is to secure a fresh term 01 office tor Sir john Macdonald. \Vhether there he a change or no change of govcrnment at Ottawa, Bunting has Cet l is vindictive soul on a change in Toronto.

Mr. Mowa_t bagged, so to speak, the Brawling Brood ofBribers red-handed in their neiarious scheme, the managing d1- rector ot the Mail has hated the Premier of Ontario with a hatred bordering on insanity. It was prov- ed that Bunting stood in such inti- macy With the plotters that he must be considered as something more than a mere accessory to the crime. It Meek and \Vilkinson were inno- cent, so also was Bunting, but not otherwise. Canada, at least the re- spectable portion ofit,»has already decided on the degree of guilt at- taching to the former, and that de- cision stamps Bunting equally culpable with the others. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Nov. 18, ’86 @111: :‘fliuvml. THE PROPOSED THIRD PARTY. GRIP ” AND G. B. SAIITH. There appears to be a feeling ex- isting in this village at present that three teachers are sufficient to con- trol the Public School, and that, consequently, only three should be engaged for the ensuing year. The reason is not far to seek. The quest- ion as to whether the parts of the section outside the village will carry out their determination to secede stillremaiiis unsettled. “they do, the number of school children would be considerably lessened. At any rate, the removal of the Patterson \'\.'orl{s will be the means of taking several families to away which are now resident in this village, and therefore,our school population will undoubtedly grow less. Keeping thosellacts before the mind,tiie trustâ€" ees should weigh the matter well he- tore their next meeting, and consider whether three teachers could man- age satisfactorily in three divisions those pupils who have for the last tew 3ears been divided into four de- partments. We think ourselves that by proper classification and complete discipline, three teachers would answer every purpose. The Inspector‘s last report to the trust- ees plainly showed that where no play ground is in connection with a school, and where young children are forced to play on the public streets, the custom is both danger- ous and mischievous. Children form idle and slovenly habits when left to climb fences and wander around, which they would not in 3 Well regulated play ground. The school buildings ‘ have undergone thorough repairing, and are now quite comfortable, and we feel satis- fied that three teachers can do the work much more easily than was done by four under the former un- happy state of things. By all means consult the best interests of the ris- ing generation, but ittwo or three hundred dollars can be saved in the taxes, which are now high, so much tne better.

' ‘ \Ve have a well-founded Si spicion that Gl'lp has fallen a victim to the lies and misrepresentations of one whose zeal is not regulated by re- gard lor truth. Patience has accom- plished greater tasks than is the un- ravelling of this astounding work of iiieudacity produced by Grip. We shall now only say that (hips 111- fbi‘mant,should we be correct in our surmises, is destined to suller in that poor head of his pangs and penalties far deeper than those usually meted out to falsehood begotten of fanati- cism. Grip would do Well to revise its opinions,an(l then. unless for the sake of novelty it has resolved to be for once grossly unfair, it. will find an altogether different verdict. Grip must not suppose that its insult is oflered simply to Mr. G. 1:3. Smith. The whole riding of East York is doe.pr involved in its would be funny and moral cartoon. \Ne have no doubt that [he Reforiners of East York will take care that Grip does not. again so wantonly insult them. They have at their disposal 21 weapon which has dumped a greater and more ignorant ardor than is even Grip’s. | Smith outnumbered those cast for all the others proposed. Now, East York is strongly imbued with tem- perance principles. The leading men at the Convention are all de- voted to the cause. Both the pro; poser and the secnnder of Mr.Smith are teetotalers, and in favor of pro- hibition. In this village, Mr. Smith declared himself of the same way of thinking. Until the country is ripe for the great change, he pronounced emphatically the wish to keep the traffic in as close bounds as possi- ble. On the strength of these dec- larations, Richmond Hill seht dele- gates who almost to a man are open Prohibitionists. This we avouch on our own personal knowledge. We are informed, moreover, and can readily believe, that a vast majority or all the delegates at the Markham Convention are workers for the Temperance cause. Yet, inrthe face of all this, brip bluntly and impuâ€" dently dubs Mr. Smith the ‘Rummy Candidate.’ If this be the case, then all we have to say is that East York is hopelessly given up to strong ‘ drink, far ll the Convention were to be held again) we are satisfied that Mr. Smith Would carry it Dy :1 ma- jority iarlarger than even that which he has already received.
