THE CONTEST Tlie Ontario el( ctioiis will be hold onTniB(lii)', Marcli 1, and now the candulates liavR jnst one moiitli ahead of tli»U) to HiiiiJliiliile llair opponentfi. The ci'utrst will he ghnrp uiiJ acute The \dvauce dors not propose in this contest to take any decided Bland on fitlier Bide. Two of the candidates are our personal fn«nu8 and so far as good ftllowship is concerned we would like to see them both elected, but l! ere are larger nitcrcsts at Htuke ill such a contest than tnero personal graiiticulion, and as liie individuals represent curtain political principles ^hose principles are what should be toaeidcred aud not the individual. Personally we believe the goveruuieut of this province thould be changed- When Sir Oliver Mowat was at the head of affairs in Toronto and the ^V^servalivc party in power at Ottawa ie forced from the Ottawa govern- lueiit many provincial rights which the province would never have secured "•â- -hsti lliere been a Conservative gov- erninuut in Toronto. These things would never liavc been forced by a friendly legislature. This principle holds good lo-day and the pernicif)Ufl eflfCt of having "two of a kind" is Keen to-daj in the deals which are being hastened througli ut Ottawa to the benefit of inenibcrs of the On- tario government at the expehxo of the whole doniiiiion. Our candid opinion is that it will be the height of folly to pel polnate in office the Iteform party at Toronto while Laurier and Tarte rule at Ottawa, but wo will not Qndnly force these opinions upon our I'oadors, aud wo quarrel with no ons fui'|thinliing difTeiently. iu railway deals. Ibe latest is an agreement enteied into with a couple of gentlemen to build I5D miles of a railway from the Stikine river to navigable waters on the Yukon. In cousideratiou of the building of this line the goTtinment gives a grant ouui^'hiof between three aud four inilli(jii acres of mineral lands, includ- ing the f<londike district. In fact it may be said that the company has been gi anted the whole of the C'aiia diau Yukon gold district providing it will build a railway to carry out its spoils. This is an outrage, ai d the baste with which it was pushsd through before ihe country was awaie of anything of the kind being on loot proves it to be so It is a grand thing, of couise, to get ahead of the Americans by building this roud, but it looks very much like cutting off one's nose to spile the rest of his physiognomy. Tiie First Revelation of Jolin There is one matter to which wo wish to draw altention. We do not <ii..doise the a fB una 'ion that all is fair in war. Bunic things are too mean to be fair even in war. It has coino to our cuis that Mr. Bolaiid is cli5ig6<l with being an atheist. To this we liave liie inu.-t enii>lialic denial fioin Mr. Jioliind'H own lips. Mr. Boland beliLves ail the great fundamental IrniliB of cliiiHtiaiiity, hut 10 suinu of tl.o minor itaeljingfl of our churches ,^ ^«i takes excepriuM. Added to this he ViiS a uieinbur of the Mithodisl cliuich for jeais. The editor of liiis paper is not a supporter of Sir. liol- a:;d but neither do wo like to see J.iui tratliicid uiid his citizenship in- jured by false sLalements touching his i°piiitual ciinviciious, lie is always ready and willing to prcBeut his •' creed " t') any one who will lake llio trouble to inqure of him.
