The Hamilton Herald errs, serious. ly, in declaring that Mr. Thornton, the defeated in the byeeclection in West Durham, suffered by reason of a technicality, the enforcement of - which became a tyranny. The deposit epi- sode and the confession on the part of an agent voiding the election, must not be confounded. The government has remedied the law, which for a time in West Durham created con: siderable discussion. The deposit difficulty will not occur again. The fact that Mr. Thornton had his experience at the nomination in 1900 did not injure him in the bye- e'sction. On the contrary there is rea- son to believe that some electors, la- bouring under the same delusion as that which afiects the Hamilton Her- ald, gave Mr. Thornton the benefit of the doubt 'with their sympathy and support. West Durham has been a noted storm gentre, politically, and one of the most humiliating confessions ol wrongdoing was made in a certain by-election by a conservative, a for- mer representative of the riding in the commons. He has not "sepented of it either. If he expressed sorrow it is that his offence has been detected Land exposed. Not that he had fallen so fac from grace as to beyond the hope of redémption. Mr. Beith and Mr. Thornton met in the byeelection on their merits, and Mr. Beith has been elected. GOING A LITTLE FAST. The opposition in the local legisla- ture is anxious to make a record of some kind during the present session, It is going to the people with the cvi- dence that it proposed things. The session had hardly opened when one member presented a bill which aimes at a lowering of court expenses. The idea is to save in jury fees by omit. ting the panel when the business of the court, up to a certain date before the opening, does not call for it. A very guod proposal and one that will be considered on its merits. Mr. Foy, however, created a bit of a sensation by preseating a short hill which he wanted the house to read. a first, second and third times, and pass at onee.. It had to do with the as sessment of plants and property on which the great corporations have not been paying their due proportion of the taxes. The amendment to the as- sessment. law of last session, did not, in the opinion of the county judges who heard appeals, remove the scrap iron basis of valuation; it simply pro- vided for the manner in which that assessment, on the old basis, should be applied. Cases, for testing purposes, have been referred to the court of appeal, and the government has declared that if the decision of this court be against the law as it standsy there will be an t in more comprehensive terms. If the court of appeal differ from the county judges, and sustain the appeal for their ruling, further amendment will not be necessary! And yet. Mr. Foy demanded haste with his small bill, which had been introduced in an irregular way und the study of which had not been al- lowed to the members of the house. The premier resented the effort of the opposition to railroad legislation through the house, and his stand will be defended by the people generally. FORCE OF PUBLIC OPINION. The Rev. Mr. Kettlewel] is out with a letter in the Christian Guardian in which he protests against a refeien: dum on the prohibition question which calls for a registration of two: thirds of all the electors upon the lists on the affirmative side. The government has not made any on the subject, and it is mot likely to exact, in any test of public opinion, anything which is un. reasonable: But the Manitoba govern- ment has just declared that it will have a fresh appeal to the people, and it will not enforce the law which it passed, and which has been declared constitutional, unless 62 per cent, of the - vote polled, (on the municipal lists), is in favour of prohibition. Into The House For a ee third majority in a to be required. Principal Caven, of Knox college ( Presbyterian), thinks that three fifths of the votes polled are necessaey to the adoptions of a prohibition nwa- sure. Rev. Dr. Warden (Presbyterian), thinks that should the government de cide on a referendum there should be in favor of prohibition at least two- thirds of the vote polied, whith should mean ponsiderably more than fifty referendu=n vught These men, representibg different de nominations, realize that a bare ma- jority will not be sufficient in an issue of this kind. The tide of public opin- ion must be running strongly in fav- or of a prohibitory measure in order to secure for it the observance and enforcement without which it were a pity it ever passed. ' ---- EDITORIAL NOTES. A call is made for the organization of the conservative party. What it wants is sand. ---- ' Mr. Whitney is singularly lacking in force and fire of debate this session. What's the matter? | Has be lust in grip and spirit ? The senate is nearly even so far as thé politica] complexion of the mem- bers go. 'THE rule of Sir Mackenzie Bowell is nearly over. The senate may be a little slow and expensive in its acts, but it is prefer- ved to a divorce court for the settle 'went of marital troubles. It is proposed / to vaccinate the Saints who live in the vicinity of Beamsville by force! Before the cere mony 'is concluded some one will be reading tha riot act. When the West Durham election was at its beighth, when everything, no matter how (little counted, H. H. Cook wrote the electors a letter. That sestled Mr. Thornton's fate. The Ontario government is going in- to railroading on its own account. The scheme of building a line to Temisca- mingue is inviting large attention. And, wonderful to relate, the opposi- tion is in favour of it too. Mr. Carnegie suys all a man wants of money is a competence. But opin- jons vary upon this point. Mr. Car- negie is doubtful about his own needs, and so has not given away much more than the annual income upon his fast accumulations. y The Mail has it that Mr. Metcalie's presence in the field in Kingston was "toe short to enable a strong cam: paign to be undertaken." Yet Mr. Met calie has declared that he canvassed hundreds of voters, and he could not do this in a week or a month. Toronto is asking for a change in the school law and to the effect that the estimates of boards shall be "sub- ject to civic gevision. If they stand they must be endorsed by two-thirds the members. The legislature will hardly amend the law on the repre- sentation of Toronto alone. A FAREWELL. ---- Departing. Last night the lodge room Frontenac, No. 59, 1.0.F., contained an unusual number of members. It bad become known that something "out-of-the-way"' was about to take place, and there was a hum of ox- pectation. The members of the com- panion court had been invited to be present, and most had accepted. Aftor routine work had been got through, Dr. Herald, of Court sing duty, in the name of Court Fron- tenac, to present to a brother who was present a testimonial of the ap- jation of his services by Court ta. He then handed to the i of the finance committee, R. . Dobbs, a "smoker's companion," the inseription plate on which spenks for itself : "From Court Frontenac, No. 89, LOF., to brother RK. S. Dobbs, in recognition for his rerviced on the finance committee, January, 192."

Censure For The Conduct Of The War. London, Jan. 17.~Some difficulty was found in framing an opposition amendment to the address in reply to the king's speech at the opening of the seswion of parliament, which amendment: dmounts to a vote of cen sure of the government for its conduct of the war: The wrouble was due to the divergence between the imperialists and pro-Boers in the opposition. Ulti- mately an amendment was framed as- serting that the house: of commons, while prepared to support all proper measures for effective prosecution of the war, is of the opinion that the course pursued by the ministers and their attitude toward a settlement have not been conducive to the rapid termination of hostilities and a dur- able peace. 2 It is understood that the liberal im- perialists refused, to sanction this amendment until it was submitted to lord Rosebery. It is doubtful whether the members who are opposed to the war will support the amendment ow- ing to the wording of the first of it. 'he pro-Boer Daily News says that probably a fairly united liberal vote will be secured, but the Irish members will not support the amendment. Concerts For The Poor.

Another System of Voting--Just Push The Button. Lansdowhe, © Ont., Jan. 15.--(Dear old Whig) : 1 see you notice new ideas are sometimes appreciated, not the least being the work done lately by the voting machines used at the ve tent elections in Kingston, and the re marks made as to their utility. One of our Lansdowne geniuses, who never saw a voting machine, (but has read the "objections" raised against them) is now planning a voting ma- chine which the confidently expects will do the work required. As yet he keeps the "mechanical contrivance" a secret, but illustrates the ypesult as follows : Aiter the elector has been duly en tered on the poll book he goes behind the screen, § a button for each candidate of his choice, and sees a consecutive number registered in fa vour of the one whose name is on a line with the button. No one can possibly know for whom the vote or votes had been cast, and, better still, in case the voter casts more ballots than was his right the district! returning officer who mani pulates the machine at the opposite side of the curtain, éan hold all the ballots cast and give the voter a chance to correct his vote by voting again without interfering with any votes previously cast for any one or more of the candidates, or in any way divulging the name of any for whom a vote Bn been cast. There is no blank or duplicate to confose a veer, and one vote is all any candidate can get, as every move ment of the machine is under perfect control of the deputy-returning officer. li any of the Whig readers have any- thing to say on the subject of voting ines it might be of Juiblie interest to see it in the Whig. Yours truly in the interests of the straight vote.-- CITIZEN. Tichborne Tales. Tichborne, Jan. 15.--Our school op- ened on the 6th, with Mrs. John Low- rie as teacher.
