MOWAT, Minister of Justice. One of the most noteworthy men Iamong Mr. Laurier’s colleagues is the veteran Sir Oliver Mowat. In imany respects Sir Oiivcr Mowat is Canada’s most remarkable son. II is record’of statesmanship is second only 1to that of Mr. Gladstone, among liv- ing public men. Where else will you find one who has held the reins ‘of power in a democratic State for a quarter of a century without a. single break, and now left in his 76th year without a rival in the field .9 is the record of the veteran who, in “the cause of pure government, is Vcrowning his life work by taking a place in the Administration which is :to introduce into the Dominion sphere the principles which he has worked out so successfully in the provincial “sphere. He leaves Ontario in the position of the most progressive part of Britain’s colonial empire. rile began public life in the municg ’ipal field, sitting at the City Council of Toronto. Alderman Mowat was “always on top.” Forty years ago he turned to politics. His first con- cst made him a member of the Par- iament of the United Canadas. fore he had been a member two years he was a Minister, and up went his electoral majority -on re-election. Contest followed contest, and who ever else fell out of the ranks, he re- mained. He took part in the fram- ing of Confederation, and is one of the three or four fathers still living. 'He went upon the bench in 1864 and remained there for eight years. He returned to politics to take the On- tario Premiership. This he did in October, 187:2. Six general elections I have passed over his head, and he was still Premier, with every likeli- hood that hc would be kept there as long as he should choose to remain. .4 N 11 0373.371" ’ ETA rfissmar The Leader and Recorder of To- g‘onto Junction last week said : “ It is utter nonsense for any journal or individual to say that the Govornment formed by the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier is not a strong one. It is a strong (frovernment, being composed of some of the very best men in the Liberal ranks. Had the late Government been composed of equally as clean and strong public men, its Waterloo might have been indefinitely postponed. The Con- servatives should now do a little housecleaning and weeding under the direction of such men of principle as Mr. N. Clarke. lilallacc, Mr. Osler, Mr. Clarke, Mr. MZlClCflll, Dr. Sproulc and scores of other able meni” it is sometimes said that an honest confession is good for the soul. Well, we are pleased to see the above com~ plimentary remarks relative to the l‘oru‘lation of Hon. Wilfrid Lauricr’s .\'linistry, and it is gratifying to read :that our brother acknowledges that “the late Government were unclean, but is it not a little humiliating to support such a Government year after yvar? Even Mr. N. C. i‘l’allacc himself has said time and again that, taking out the Remedial Bill, he was prepared to follow the Gorcrmnent of Sir Charles Tupper. Public men should have a clean record before :ahcy get the confidence Q'f’theppeople. . ...,.... ,.. ., _ _,_4.. , . , . ' . . ‘ 'so firmly by principle.” That Be- ~ .inside of an Orange lodge. IS LOYALTY ALL ON THE CON- SERVATIVE SIDE ? The Willowdale correspondent of The Toronto Junction Leader and Recorder last week found fault with Rev. J. Morgan, of Thornhill, for taking part in the recent dcmonstrat "ion at Newton Brook, in honor of Mr. W. F. Maclcan, M. P. for East York. The correspondent said he agreed with the majority of those who were present “that a minister has more influence in his calling if he keeps ofi‘ the political platform.” The Toronto “'orld reports Rev. Mr. Morgan as saying that “ he re- gretted that Mr. Maclcan had been maligned, and congratulated him on belonging to a race and denomination whose members had in the. past stood We are not told how Mr. Maclcan has been “ maligned,” and to which wonderful “race ” and “denomination " bur worthy member belongs. Rev. Mr. Morgan concluded his speech by urging the men of York to “stand by the Conservative party, by British institutions and connect- ion and resist the reintroduction of Separate Schools in Manitoba." Let us point out to llev. Mr. Morgan that had the electors of Canada. stood by the Conservative party in the recent campaign, led by the lion. Charles Tuppcr as Premier, Separate Schools would have been restored in Maui- toba. It is absurd to say that Brit- ish institutions and British connect- ion are not as safe in the hands of the Reform party, led by Ilon. Wil~ frid Lauricr, as in the hands of any Conservative Government. IS ORA NGEISM A NEUEbSI'I‘Y .? “The Orange Order is a necessary institutionâ€"never more so than at the present time. Recent events have shown this. It is not a parti- zan, but a patriotic institution of which every loyal Canadian ought to be proud.” The above paragraph is from the editorial pen of last week's Leader and Recorder. THE LIBERAL docs does not propose to say one uncom~ plimcntary thing about the Orange Order, but we fail to see that it is a “ necessary institution ” in this coun- try. Neither can we see that it dis- tinguished itself in the late Dominion elections. It is true that many Orangcmcn stood out manfully against the Remedial Bill. So did thousands of others who never saw The Order showed their gratitude to Mr. N. C. Wallace by rc-electing him Grand Master, but the same body immediately afterwards re-clcctcd Mr. Robert Birmingham as Grand Secretary. Everybody knows that Mr. Birmingham, who is the Con- servative organizer, was Sir Charles Tupper’s right hand man in endeav- oring to saddle Separate Schools on Manitoba. if our cotem. is anxious to give credit where credit is due let it look to Catholic Quebec, where, in spite of the hierarchy, they refused to force a sister province against her will. We are not going to say that the Orange Order is not a “patriotic” institution, but there is every reason to say that it is decidedly “partizan.” gmâ€" Items Sp?)th The Markham lacrosse team defeated Orllliu on Friday last by 3 to 2. 1.1 the Central District the Elms, of lToronto, defeated Brampton on Friday est.

Quite early in tho evening a large number of peo- ple, Consisting principally of our own citi- zens, with a number of visitors from Aurora, Victoria Square, Maple and surrounding country, euizgregated at. this beautiful spot, which WuB rendered more lowly by the Chinest lanterns and other decorations which had been erected by Mr. J. H, Sanderson aud Ihe committee. The refreshments, con- sisling of sandwiches, a variety of cake. served with ice cream and lemonade, were excellent, and the tables wi-re "manned" by a Corps of about 20 charming young ladies, headed by Misses Wiley, Teefy, Palmer and Trench. Lulein the evening a most enjoyable entertainment was given. Mr. F. W. Garvin. president of the club. cc- cupied the chair, and tilled the position to the entire satisfaction of all. In the open- ing remarks of a happy address, he referred to the well-merited popularity of the lacrosse boys, which they bud won by their good work in the field and their gentlemanly hearing at all times.

His pieces were all good and he was eucored again and again. Prob- ably his most catching selection was “Oh What Beautiful Language.” with the original verse about the lacrosse club. Mr. A. J. Hume also sang an original composition on- titleu " The Richmond Hill Lacrosse Oluh,” and ii. is headless to say it was heartily re- ceived. Mr. A. S.

Mr. Garvin expressed the thanks of the club to the band. the Visitors, and singers for their assistance, to the ladies for providing re- freshments, and to Mr. Brown for placing his beautiful lawn at the dispensl of the club.
