The Stratford Beacon is a staunch Grit sheet but it fully realizes the pernicious effect of 'the Minister of ---- | Agriculture in Ontario going to the States to secure farm land and the Forest Free Press edited by a member of the al House; the Clinton News a and other staunch Liberal sheets have also seen fit to enter profests. The Beacon during the course e jof its anticleon the ject, is still) Gritty enough to attempt to sneer at the sincerity of the criticisms in Tory papers but it reaches the con- clusion--*Mr. Dryden is far too useful a man to be tossed aside for a mere matter of sentiment. In view, however, of the political turn that has been given the matter it would be better if he were to with- draw from the Dakota enterprise. While the ivestment was legitimate enough, it might be considered by some as discrediting our country asa profitable field for farming enter- prisesby theman whoaboveall others this province, is expected to keep Canadian agricultural interests to the front, We have no doubt, when Mr. Dryden recognizes that ba for comm otc and & excellence of en be discounted outside of © mails are despatched from the Post ¢ Port Perry as follows : Going North-- 9.30 a. m.

PORT PERRY, AUG. 8, 1901. ee a Ontario Has | Firet Olaim. e representative of a single dis- trict is trustee for the people of the constituency which elects him. The prominence of Thomas Craw- ford, M. P. P., in the management of a Dakota Tanch is a question which concerns West Toronto. That constituency has the right to tolerate or condemn its member's connection with an alien enterprise. But Hon. John Dryden is more than the . representative of South Ontario. He is a trustee for the whole province, and necessarily he has higher wages and less freedom than an ordinary member of Parlia- ment. honest well-meaning men take this The spectacle of Ontario's| view, he will withdraw his money Minister of Agriculture helping |from Dakota, but the carpings of of the Tory press will have |no weight in the matter. Their critic- isms are too plainly inspired by political malice to have any weight." For criticisms that have no weight the Conservative protests seem to be creating a large-sized scare in the Grit camp and are causing that uneasfness not because they are partisan protests but by reason of the fact that the Rossites know them to be a voicing of public to boss a cattle ranch in a rival nation cannot be helpful to the farming interests of which Hon. {om ryden is special guardian. est Toronto cannot take pride in the foreign activities of its member. A private member hasa larger choice of enterprise than a Minister of the Crown, but in order to allow the Conservative party to take full advantage of Hon. John Dryden's mistake, West Toronto may have to retire Thomas, Crawford, M. P. |sentiment. P.--Toronto Telegram (Ind.) The Bacon further makes the excuse-- The machine Liberals rejoice in unseating of Mr. Richardson in Lisgar, Manitoba. They appear to have less toleration for a Liberal who is not obedient to the party whip than they have for a Tory, It is interesting to note the view of Mr. Richardson's case taken by that able and independent Liberal paper, the Huntingdon Gleaner. Itsays: 'e are sorry to say the effort to seat Mr. Richardson has succeed- ed. No evidence was produced that reflected in the slightest degree on that gentleman ; indeed, it was otherwise, for several gentlemen testified to his cautioning his friends to use no illegal means to secure his return, All did not obey, for it was was shown in court that several of his supporters had paid railway fares to voters on polling day and held out other improper induce- ments. So Mr. Richardson loses his seat and is thrown into heavy costs through the zeal of certain friends. As he had a majority of 246, the prospect is that he will be re-elected should he decide on standing again. Itis to be hoped he may see his way to offering his .gervices again, for a question of principle is involved. Mr. Richard- son is the editor of the Winnipeg Tribune, a paper which gave the Liberal party while in opposition a hearty and effective support. When the Liberals got into office he took it for granted that they would carr out the reforms they had promised, . and on finding they did not, he: rated and finally condemn- ed. To him the satistes of his party into power n.ean doing what ; They had declared they would do while in opposition. For expressing 'himself to that effect in his paper 'and on the floor of parliament, he 'became obnoxious to the ministers 'and their followers, was read out of the party, and a effort made to defeat him at the election a His experience in the an > at the late session was as ble as party hacks could Mr. Ri ardson represents 'Liberal party--the party Tade, a revenue tanft, and in expenditure. Is * Mr. Dryden had, we are sure, no idea when he made the investment, that it would appear as a reflection on Canada as a field for ranching." The answer to this is that a Min- ister incapable of realizing the effect of such conduct is not fit to be in any Cabinet. Mr. Dryden's Resignation (Pemanded. other difficulty has overtaken the Ross Government, This time Mr. Pettypiece, Liberal M.P.P., for East Lambton, is in revolt against Mr. Dryden because that Minister has gone into cattle ranching in Dakota. Mr. Pettypiece says Mr. Dryden has as an individual "a per- "fect right to go into business any- "where he pleases ; but when a Can- "adian Minister of Agricultual goes "ranching in the States he gives the "agricultural interests of this coun- "try, which should be to him a "sacred trust,a blow that the people "can hardly be expected to tolerate. "This is not a party question, but is "one in which every citizen of this "province is interested alike. We "are spending thousands of dollars "in drawing the attention of the "world to the fact that Ontario 'holds out the greatest opportun- "ities to those who wish to engage "in agricultural pursuits, but how "can we expect to believe these "statements when the enemies of "Canada have simply to point to "the Ontario Minister of Agricul- "ture as a living contradiction. It "is beyond the power of tongue or "pen to fully offset the bad effect of "Mr. Dryden's actions, and the "party, will be doing only what their "country requires if they ask him to "resign his portfolio and step down wand out. His usefulness as a Min "ister of Agriculture, in the ge d, is e public will certainly think it , strange that the Minister of Agri- culture for Ontario should select Dakota as the place in which to carry on his cattle business. One would have thought after all that has been said about New Ontario that the Mlnister would have open- ed up his ranch in that district.-- The protest of Mr. Pettypiece and the demand for Mr. Dryden's ) Smith's resignation are very strong, and no Smif, doubt independent Liberals will second them with the the utmost "people of Ontario, irrespective of Rev.

WeLL DoNE CARTWRIGHT.--AN encouraging document is the Annual Financial Report just issued of the Cartwright Circuit of the Methodist Church for the financial year closed in May. The Circuit is composed of four stations, viz :--Blackstock, Cadmus, Nestleton and Casarea-- all of which are within a radius of six miles. The report shows that the magnificent sum of $3312.42 was raised during the year--such liber- ality is highly creditable to the members and adherants and is prima facia evidence that their hearts are in the right place. The officials of the several Boards are of the right stamp and thoroughly understand their duties and dis- charge them satisfactorily. The efficient and painstaking treasurer of the Circuit, Mr, Levi C. Taylor, is the right man in the right place, he takes the congregations into his confidence and keeps them posted on all financial transactions and his genial and courteous manner cannot fail to meet the approbation of all concerned.

Constans, has handed over to his Government the ques- tion of theright of a French Com- pany known as the Quays Company to enjoy the rights claimed under a convention, at the same time' re- commending his own recall and that the passports of the Turkish Ambassador at Paris, Salih Mubhir Bey, be delivered to him. The Temps says there is reason to be: lieve the Foreign Office is consider- ing the recall of M. Constans, and giving the Turkish Ambassador his passports. The Francais thinks that instead of breaking diplomatic relations with Turkey, the French Foreign Office will suspend them by giving M. Constans unlimited leave of absence, An immediate decision is improbable, as M. Del casse, the French F other high foreign officials are a on their holidays.
