\Vhere the pursuit of wealth is the sole absorbing passtongwhere nation- .al honor is held subordinate to na- Itional wealth,all history teaches that athe era of‘tremendons changes is at hand. "Inwhat form the coming .revolutlons will display themselves, “we are not lelt entirely to conjecture. (In the struggle that 13 now going on tevervwhere between capital and la- tbor. it is easy to discern who will be uhe .combattants. How the fight swill ultimately be carried on it is . difficult, to.--.sav. It is of little use to grow 110‘. over “this tremendous problem. Time Will solve it asl‘all thinggs. One thing remains clear where all else is dark and threatenind. Every great social reform dspends for success primari- ly on the reformation of the individ- ual. Ofione. thing we may rest assured. If the means. of prolonging life and oi extending education continue to beindefinitely increased, the means also increasing men‘s pleasure ,and comfort, or rather of decreasing their pain and discomfort, must keep connnensurateupace. It is absurd to expect that therphysical and in- tellectual can proceed to higher and higher groundswhile the wish for improvement in the [ways 01' life re- mains at a standstill. In placing an education within the reach of the very poorest of the land, we at the same time vastly enlarge the hori- zon of their .VieWs and desires. When it is further considered that respect for birth 2ian posmon is fast becoming an absolute sentiment, it may easily be perceived th'at society must of necessity undergo a com» plete reorganization. In reply to the first two pamgrapli‘; of Mr. T. F. \anliice’s letter, given in an- otlier column, we have to say that his missiw of the 23rd ult.. is a full and cumplete, justification of all therein Cunt plained or. In regard to Mr. N. C. \Vulluce not being a subscriber to THE LUKE tAL, all u 3 lime to say is that when we tonk the ofllce in 1884 we found his name on the subscription list given us by our predecesSor, and we knew of no tea.- son to erase the name from our bonus. Co’uld'We but feelxconvinced that the moral ' growth of the world is proportionate to its material growth, we should havedittyle appreâ€" hension tor the future. But right here is the dehuteahle question. Close our eyes as we may, capital is notoriousl) grasping, and labor is quite as notoriously unreasonable. Neither will allow disputes to be settled from a regard to what is just and fair. Each relies on innate strength, and makes the losses and misery of the other the vantage ground ot fresh encroachments. RICHMOND HtLL. Thursday, Mar.10, ’87 To the third paragraph we make anâ€" swer as follows: 1‘ The fifty mile limit charge was tak- en from the Government Blue Books. The qrnvainen of that charge is that a, member-of parliament used his influence an a supporter of the government to se cum for another What it. should he possi- ble to sejure only by one entirely uncon- nected with the High Court of Parlia- ment. We never heard the explanation said to have been given. :‘Ne cwntend that no explanation is possible. Whether Mr. T. F. \Vallace actually got,or did not gut, pnssession of the limit is utterly be- side the question. The order in council was made through the influence of a member of the House. The very heart of the evil is that friends of the govern- ment can get limits on speculation. To clinch this we beg to direct Mr. T. F. Wallace‘s attention to thp ‘RykertSands Scandal. \Vithyxperhaps, the single except ion of. Prohibition, every great pub- lic issue in Canada turns on the question of dollars and cents. In- deed, we are by no means sure that we are right in making Prohibition an exception. It cannot be denied that its opponents base their host1l~ ity to it on the great decrease of the nationalrevenue which would cer- tainly, they contend, be entailed by its adoption. The god, then, to whose Wishes the greatest deference is paid is undoubtedly Mammon. And herein lies the prime source of danger to the present age. 2. The York Colonization charge did not originate with us. The air was . full of it. “he acted on what we considered indubitable evidence. «If we have done Mr. N. C. Wallace an injustice. we regret it.

WALin 015‘s LETTER. CLO UDS. After the regular work of the examin li0n,sneeches were delivered by the Trus- tees and others interested in the school. The general tennr of the speeches went to show that good work was being done, and ‘rhut the best of feelingr existed among the teacher. pupils and thevwlmle section. Although there is an attendance of 75 01' 80 pupils the work is done as efficiently as if an asmstanb teacher had been engag~ ed. (3216 Trustee remarked that a few in the section thought the salary paid was too high. The only way this could be re. medied was to elect a new Board and "turn the present rascals out.” During the course of the afternoon Mr. Snigeon was presented With an easy up- holsteer chair accompanied by the fullowing address: DEAR TEA ‘HE1;,~« \Ve the pupils of your school, feel deeply the obligation we are under for your kind and untiring efforts in promot- ing our welfare. Your unremitting ala- tcntion and perseverance in giving us in- struction.

The first, comparatively large, made up of men who lost and pocketed their lossesmibh as good a grace "Ail they could, having»; ""91:oi1gh of ‘Ellls wurld"s goods to leave them free from care. The other, comparatively small is made up of men who have kept the mill- ions promised in 1882 still in sight, and who have a chance to realise, or think they have if they will but continue to the end. The Government can exalt or crush these [nun at will. They in 1y, therefore. be regarded as generally faithful to the Tory cause, and those who work lor that cause will do so in feat and Lrembling, knowim: that the men now in power will watch them closely and will resent with all their terrible iniglwlany lagging or lmlfâ€"heztrledness. Of all the elements of strength which the Colonization Company swindle brought to the Tory side in 1882, this class alone remains to day. It con- sists of not. one In a thousand of theorigi- nul in vesturs.” To the fourth paragraph of Mr. T. F. \V’s letter we reply: 1. That ‘a \Vallace’ meant the memb- er for West York. \Ve have nothing to do with anv other ‘Vallace. The severe language used was provoked by N. C. \Vallace’s votes on the Gerrymander Act, the Franchise Act, the motion to permit the-sale of wxne and beer in Scott Act Counties, the Act to whitewash Tapper who at one and the same time was memb- er for Cumberland and High Conunission- er, the motion of Mr. Blake to grant to all the provinces the railroad favors showed in Quebec in return for the sup- port her members gave to the C. P. R- resolutions,and generally his acquiescence in all the Boodle and Blind Share scan- dals brought home to prominent support- ers of the government. And here we would remark that Principal Grant, of Queen’s College, Kingawn, declared that ‘you might as well defend Sodom. as do- fend men who persist that there was nothing wrong in the Pacific Scandal, and in the insolent purchase of a province with a bribe." Up to the last election Principal Grant had always been a strong Conservative. Y<w1 correspondent had the Measure of attending the Public School E'(:;1ni|m'i-m at Springhill on Friday Lin: 4th inst.
