peoples representatives.. That, moreover
was the course pursued by Lord DuFrERn
when the Dominion Cabinet became In
volved In the Pacific Railway scandal. LORD
DUFrERrN did not Of his own authority dis
miss Sir JOHN MACDONALD. He laid the
facts before the Ottawa House OF Commons
which compelled MACDONALD TO resign.
Had Lieutenant Governor Anglers con.
formed to precedent and constitutional pre-
scription. the question Of Mr.. MERcIER's der.
elections would not have been mixed UP with
grave political issues. Mr.. Anglers feared.
however. that the Nationalist majority In
the Quebec Legislature might refuse to
censurc their leader. and might, on the
contrary. give him q vote OF confidence.
So. OF his own authority. he dismissed Mr..
MERCER and his Nationalist colleagues.
appointed Tory Ministry ad interim
under Mr.. De BoUCHERvILLE, dissolved the
Provincial Legislature. and ordered q new
general election for March 8. 1892. The
Lieutenant Governor thereby committed
not merely one but two infractions OF con-
stitutional law. He not only broke the
organic law making the provincial Minis
tiers accountable only to the peoples repre-
the British North America act. requiring
one session of the Quebec Provincial Legis-
ture to be held in every year. There had
been in 1891 no session OF the Quebec Leg
islature when Mr.. Anglers dissolved II. and
put off the election Of it's successor nearly
three months. until March 8, 1892. The
delay cannot DO reconciled with his pre-
tended desire to elicit forthwith q verdict
OF the people. but was obviously done to
secure time in which the DE BoUCHRRv1LLE
Ministry and It's hacker. the Dominion Cab
met. might operate upon tho province.
Such are the curiously involved issues
which will next week DO presented to the
voters OF the province Of Quebec. We re-
peat that. II they look exclusively or mainly
to the charge of Inalversation levelled at
Mr.. MERCER. they may return majority
OF his opponents to the Legislature. But. IL
they think the courts competent to deal in
due course with the acts imputed to the OK
Premier. and deem it their capital concern
to assert tho fundamental rights guaran-
tced to them by their Constitution. they
will reinstate the Nationalists In the control
of the provincial executive. OF which
they were unlawfully deprived. It will
always be possible for Tory members OF the
next House to present the evidence against
Mr. MERCER and to move a vote OF censure
on him. should that mode OF attack be pre-
fcrred to a prosecution in the courts. But
1t will not be possible to avert the evil con-
sequences OF the precedent which will DO
should tho people Of Quebec
condone tho lieutenant Cover
nor's violation Of their organic law.

AS our readers have already been in
formed. tho Rev. DR.. RYLANcE preached a SER
mon in ST. Marks Church last Sunday night on
The Good and Evil In Newspapers" He took
occasion to denounce. with especial en- plasis,
those papers that permit loose. vulgar, or
blasphemous English" to appear In their col
umns. His denunciation OF this offence was
not bit too severe. Tho use OF language of
tho kind to which hs referred Is an abomina.
ton. wrong against tho community. an out
rage upon morality and virtue: 1t lie. moreover.
violation OF good manners. The papers that
are guilty OF using 1t. under any pretext. de-
serve to he cast out by all decent peo-
pie They arc public enemies: they
debauch the minds Of tho people who read
them. Loose language destroys the sense of
truth and honor: vulgar language dcgrades
all the nobler qualities of the spirit: blnsphe-
nous or irreverent language sinks the soul to
hell. We warn everybody to beware of any
paper that ever INDUCES in loose. vulgar, or
blasphemous language. Give US truthful. ex-
allied. and reverentIal language. Away with
the papers that give 1t not!
We fully approve OF that part OF the Rev.
DR.. RyLANcE's sermon OF last Sunday in which
he referred to this subject Some other parts
OF the sermon gave evidence that the preacher
does not possess all the knowledge he might
have acquired about papers and editors.

MIR. Blaine and His Sons Marriage.

Tho explanation OF Mr.. BLAINE as to the
unhappy marriage OF his son. recently dis
| solved by n Dakota court. was made COM
pulsory by the remarks of the Judge in rem
deiing the decision. Tho Judge ventured
to cast reflections on the mother OF tho
young man, as IL by reason Of her harshncss
tho young couple had been estranged and
the wife now divorced had been driven from
her husband
Mr.. BLA1NE's letter to Father DUcEY in
1886. Immediately after the marriage. relates
circumstances which would justify any par
ents in misgivings as to such union. and in
censurinE priest who gave to it the sane
ton OF the Church. 1t was secret mar
riage. 80 far at least as the family OF young
BLAINE were concerned. ind its announce
ment struck them with painful surprise.
Very properly. Mr.. BLAINE blames the
priest rather than the Young pair. He solem-
nized privately the marriage OF lad
OF less than Is years OF age to q girl who
was his senior without notifying or
consulting parents SO well known rs
tho distinguished father ard his wife.
and without other witnesses than the
priests own household servants. 1t was an
outrage which Mr.. BLAINE had reason to
resent with more Indignation than he ex-
pressed in his letter to Father DUCEY for
the priest knew that young BLAINE
wished to keep his intention to marry Miss
NEvINs secret from his father.
Father DUCEY. therefore, aided and albeit
ted this son in conduct which was dis
tinctly uniilia. and which should have re-
ceived his severe reproval instead. Well
might Mr.. BLAINE. crushed by tho boys
folly and incensed by the priests assist
ance in it. cry out in pain and indignation
that las father living under tho divine in
stltution OF the family. as citizen living
under the divine order OF society,"" he pro-
tested against the act and held the priest
responsible before COP for " whatever evils
resulting from this deplorable marriage"
of which his son might be the author or the
victim.
The outcome OF the union was as Mr..
BLAINE in his paternal knowledge and
anxiety saw that it must be. 1t was the
unhappiness Of an ill-mated pair thus
Joined together in defiance OF wisdom, pru-
dence. and all proper regard for parental
feeling. The young woman was OF n tenn
permanent and the young man OF an I'M
stabeness of character and unfltness for
matrimonial responsibility which made har-
mony in the marriage impossible.
So far from treating the bride with harsh
ness the elder BLAINEs seem to have used
every effort to make the best OF the impru-
dent marriage. There Is no justification
for tho criticism OF the Dakota Judge on
Mrs. BLAINE. the elder. She bore the trial
with proud and touching endurance.
The letter OF Mr. BLAINE is an EXPRESSION
of parental feeling which will gain for him
the sympathy Of every father. 1t is tho |
true story wrung from him by torture.
