Bo it was at the last session of the | legislature, when Mr. Ross was | ting the grant to the school of mines | through, that Mr. Whitney said some thing that was quite favourable to Queen's College. And it was some- thing he could not help saying. He did not dare to oppese the proposi tion which the government advanced, { nowever be may have felt about it, and he said so little that it cannot be recalled by the average reader, _p&© haps not by Mr. Whitney himseli. The essence of his oration was an arraign ment of the government because it had not done more for Toronto university. One thing the leader did not say at any where else, last session or this, is the re mark credited to him by his Kings ton organ, namely, that in power he would do more for Queen's than Mr. Ross. TALK OF COMPENSATION. Mr. Haverson, of Toronto, protests against: the prohibition measure be- cause it contains no provision for the compensation of the liquor dealers. He points out that according to the evidence of the royal commission there of $70,000,000 in mostly in On- put any time, in Toronto or is an investment the liquor = business, | | i i { work | will | | | | { | | tario, "as the principal distilleries and all the large breweiies are situa- ted in this province." But these industiies will not be closetl by provincial prohibition. The trade of the-other provinces will have to be supplied, and even the trade of Ontario under certain conditions. The man who wants liquor can still get it, in quantities, and pay a little more for it in the circumlocution which it must have before it can be delivered. The | people who will suffer by prohibition, if it passes, will be those who are in the rétail business solely, the sa- loon men and the hotel keepers. The Globe raises a point with them that may affect the question of com- pensation. It is that the hotelman has not an absolute right to the renewal of the license, That renewal may be refused in a particular case, or may be dropped in the general reduction of licenses which has been going on for years. "Between the passage of the Crooks act and last year," says t Globe, "the number of licenses was reduced from 4,703 to 2,621, al though the province had largely in- creased," and there was no compensa- tion so far as the people and the government were concerned. No, the compensation, issue is not up at present, and remembering an old and very appropriate saying, it is time enough to deal with a difficulty when it has arisen, THE BALLOT IS SECRET. Rov, Mr. Johnston, of the Queen str.ot Methodist church, Toronto, and once the pastor of the Queen Strect Methodist church bere, discussed pro- hibition on Sunday evening last. He agreed generally with the course of the government, though differing with ite policy of holding the referendum on a date subsequent to the holding of the general election. What is the difference ? The objet of thé vote on October 14th, (which will be some time after the people have selected a new legis- lature), is to have it unaffected by any of the election complications, and to have it considered on its merits. The majority vote fixed by the gov- ernment is not objected to by Mr. Johnston and other representatives of his church. They realize that a pro- hibidon law, to be effective, has to be bucked by a strong public sent ment, and such a sentiment cannot be expressed as indicated by a minority of the total voters. In a general elec tion the issues before the people many, and while they cannot over shadow prohibition they will absorb some of the thought that should go to it, and in consequence the ballot in conntction with it may be very dis appointing. The Whig cannot under<tand, as Mr. Johnston on Sunday contended, how the prohibiion plebiscite, sepa rat:ly, would practically be abandon: ing the secrecy of the baliot. "For foar "of losing their positions," he suid, "men who would go to the polls and vote for prohibition in a general ebdction would stay away altogether." How can men's inteations be under: stood in one case any more than in the other ! 'The ballot in any cave is | absolutely secret, and except the cor- "rupt ones, who do hot care how they voby, or whoin they support, the are -- m_-- me------ EDITORIAL NOTES.

Who is running this country, anyway' Has the government become so incapable, that every little ecross-roads' club must undertake to give it advice ? The Spectator rises to remark that "the flop of La Progress simply am ounts to nothing so far as the conser vative party is concerned." Which means that the Spectator has not changed 'its attitude towards the French, and that they are now at lib erty to go to the eternal bow-wow, The boom continues in the United States--conditions generally are bet ter than they were a year ago--and the Chicago Inter-Ocean remarks : "It is on the basis of confidence that the present great prosperity of the United States is resting. Nothing like it has blessed the Awerican people in their history." A contingent of Canadian troops is not required at the coronation of the king. On that occasion the military, however gorgeous they may look, will not be the centre of attraction. Be- sides Sir Wilirid Laurier's personality will not be rendered more attractive by a military body-guard.

Napanee Beaver A very highly respected resident and pioneer, in the person of John Murray Clark, Fsq., passed peacefully away, at the advanced age of eighty-seven years, being born in the township of Ernesttown, September 5th, 1815. He enjoyed perfect health until within two months previous to his demise. He was of U.E. loyalist descent and was the last of twelve brothers, all living the allotted age save Edward, who died in youth. Singular to relate he died on the fain on which he was born, spending the greater period of life as an agriculturalist, excepting a few vears of his early career he lived in Kingston, acting in the interests of one of the heading, papers. He was married to Sarah E., daughter of Don ald Fraser, having "been married fifty- six years. and in October, 1806 they held their golden wedding. To them were born five children, two of whom are dead. Elizabeth A., married to W. H. Hogle, of St. Catharines; Alma, married to Li R: Pudgely, architect, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. N. B. Hamm, Rath: Edgerton M., on the homestead Mr. Clark was a strong adherent of the Methodist church, being a steward for over forty vears. In polities he was a staunch conservative, but very liberal in his views. y A New By-law Wanted. City solicitor Mcintyre has drawn the attention of the council to an On- taric 'statute entitled "an act to re gulate the means of egress from pub lie buildings," and its application to the Grand opera honse. The council may pass a by-law regulating the sie and number of doors of publie buildings. So far the city has not availed itseli of this act to establish the necessary by-law, and the council may 'be held blameable should an ac tident occur at the opera house. With reference to this communica tion mayor Shaw informed the coun- cil that the police commissioners had inspected the opera house and found the exits satisfactory, with the ex ception of the two flights of stairs leading (0 the galleries. The atten tion of the city solicitor was drawn to these defects under the provisions of the Ontario act. Quite A Success.

John Easton, whose back has been broken jor six years, and whose little waggon, with its in scription telling of his troubles with the Brantford street car company, is a familiar figure on the streets, had his plaster cast sawn in two on Saturday night by the local elders, and slowly got up and clambered oat of his wag gon. The Zionites have been laboring with Easton for some time. Dr. Dow i¢, in Chicago, was induced to add a special prayer to those of the seventy believers in Toronto, claimed, worked the miracle. There is intense excitement among the believers and their friends. Easton can walk quite freely and 'is in good, general health. ATTACKS BOYCOTTERS. Denunciation of Agrarian Out- rages in Ireland Has Begun. London, Feb. 18.--A telegram to the Times from Cork says that though the Catholic bishops generally have not discouraged boycotting, as now prac ticed by the United Irish league, ' the mihor clergy are less reticent. In county Kerry, a curate vigorous ly denounced two agrarian outrages committed in his district, and call- ed on the congregation to assist the authorities to bring the miscreants to justice. He pointed out that pope Leo had condemned boycotting, anc declared he could not understand a respectable man remaining a member of an organization resorting to such "hellish work."

Alderman Mcleod gave the city council to understand last night tht the threatened law suit against the street railway company for the col lection of $225, would not come off, but that the misunderstanding be tween the city and company would be amicably settled before the next meet ing of the council. Alderman Gra ham did not favor resorting to law; the last two or three law suits in which the city had heen interested had gone against the city. He favored a sel tlement out of court if possible.

And 'County Council Press Its Construction. At last night's meeting of the city council the members were waited upon by a deputation of the county coun cil, consisting of warden Spoor, coun cillors Campbell, Toner aut Fair, with reference to the proposed sub- way under the Grand Trunk tracks at Montreal street crossing. Warden Spoor congratulated . the wayor on his election; he was sure wise legislation would resuit from the mayor's experience and counsel. The speaker had not gone deeply info the sunway matter, but would ask Mr. Fair and Mr. Toner to speak; they had looked carefully into the ques tion, and were versed in all its de tails Councillors Fair pointed out the benefits that would flow to both city and county from the establishment of the sub-way in question. Besides pro viding safety to human life, it would be of great benefit to the business of the city, inasmuch as it would permit of farmers, their wives and families coming into the city oftener, the dan ger at the Grand Trunk crossing" be- ing removed. He urged that a deputa- tion be appointed by the ¢i:v council to act in conjunction with the county council. Councillor Fair made a strong and eloquent plea that noth ing should be left undone towards carrying to a successful issue the mat n question Councillor Toner supported the ar gunients of his colleague, and added that great danger ensued at the crossing each winter because of the five tracks being swept clear, making it most difficult for heavy loads to be drawn across. Then, also, long trains obstructed the crossing half an hour at a time. The railroad company had already made preparation to build a subway. Alderman Farrell was quite in sym pathy with the movement, and point ed out that two vears ago a deputa tion from the county and city had waited upon the minister of railways with reference to the subway The minister asked certain questions which the deputation was unable to answer He hoped that this year if a deputa tion waited upon the govermment all data connected © with the question would be availablé. "He admitted that the want of a silli%ay was a serious detriment to business. Te While alderman Craig was in svin pathy with the scheme, he considered it-one in which the coumy should take the initiative. If this were done the city would give the county all the possible, Alderman McLeod admit ted that the question of having a subway built at the crossing mentioned was one of importance. He moved, second ed by alderman Farrell, that the may or, alderman Farrell and alderman McLeod be a deputation to wait upon the government in co-operation with the county. Alderman King asked if thokCGrand Trunk railway company had been ask- ed to construct the subway and re ceived an affirmative reply fren ald erman Farrell; "the company had re fused to do as requested. Alderman Knapp took the ground that the member of the city ought to he able to present the city's case in a satisfactory manner, and thus the expense of the deputation As regards trains blocking the highway this was illegal and should not be nermitted «Alderman McLeod's motion was car ried, alderman Knajp alone voting nay. also save -- Alderman Tait Indigrant. Alderman Tait was sorviy grieved at last night's mecting of the council. When the report of the finance com mittee, providing for payment of $175 to the Lawrie engine company, Montreal, was being considered, the Frontenac ward warrior wanted sonw information on the item, and was pre pared to-move an amendment. He was informed that the be dealt with in the and light committee, réport came before found not the matter dignant. smuggling the account through, it was not a regular procedure, and was not an action of honest men. Alderman McFarlane objected to alderman Tait's remarks; the account was regularly presented and passed. but when that council it was Alderman Tait was in Coal Famine In The West. Owing to the recent snow storing traffic from the coal fiekls of Pennsyl vania is almost at a standstill, and consequently, Hamilton, Toronto, Peterboro - and other western points are suffering from a coal famine These places have appealed to Mont treal for help in order to keep their factories supplied. In Montreal, hard coal! is plentiful, but coke Bt at a low ebly. On account of lack of soft fuel, the Hamilton sewage disposal works have been temporanly closed. Kings ton has lute of hard coal, but i= in need of more coke. It is understood that the locomotive works and Kings ton foundry bave suffered to some ex tent during the past few weeks, through. the short supply of coke. Taken To Idiot Asylum.
