[IE DAILY: WHIG, - 'Opiter per Oriem Dicor,' INVADING MUNICIPAL RIGHTS. There is some doubt, about the ef ficiency of Mr. Maclean's bill concern- jog the telegraph and telephone ser: vice. Mr. Maclean is now an out-and- out advocates of state ownership, bit he_realizes thet the object aimed at is to far away for much effect by pres Bo he urges, by legis tation, a check upon discrimination in rates. Jt was understood that his bill practically allowed the companies to use the highways and streets as they pleased» but be corrects this im: pression in a statement which he tele: graphs to his paper, the World. "A very wide constitutional question is involved," he remarks, "of the meritd of which 1 at least know something, aud only last week I raised this very point, namely, whether a company ereated by parliament to build lines, telegraph or telephone, could 'occupy roads and streets without the oon: sent of municipalities. Sir John Mac- donald, 1 believe, held that they could not." The pity is that the constitu: tional authorities have not prevailed. In Montreal and in Toronto the mon- oplies 'and the municipalties have come into collision and the one. point which bas been emphasized is that parlia- ment has been giving away privileges that are not to the advantage of the gommon people. The point is well taken when there is before the com- mons bills which may mean a further invasion upon municipal rights. SILENCE OF CONSERVATIVES. A test of the sincerity of the conser votives in the columons is furnished in their attitude and action during the passing of the estimates. Are they protesting against any of the votes, and any that really and vitally ai- feet the revenues of the people ? Not much. They appear to be impressed with the importance of the public works, and give concurrence to all that is proposed by the "man they hate the most, the Hon. Mr. Tarte. Why ? The ministers present a good case every time. They are familiar with the details, and find they have left no ground for opposition. Thus the cost of a new astronomical obser vatory is passed, of a royal mint, of the completion of a channel four hun dred and fifty yards wide at the straits, and wider at the bends, in the river between Montreal and Que bec. Thus the fifty-three. odd millions are passing. Eventually the estimates of the year will be through, and the opposition has "not proposed any re- duction in them. To all intents and purposes the conservatives will he re sponsible for the results. They were consenting parties, and the partici: pant shares with the operator in the consequences of his service. Will there be any more talk about the extrava- gance of the liberals? Will it be charged that they have added to the annual expenditure and the public aeht ¥ Very . likely, and it can be snid, with force and effect, that the charge is without foundation, that when there was an opportunity to point out where the extravagance was and (pe saving could be effected (he siguificantly silent. HOW THE ISSUE STANDS. The Mail charges the Ontario gov: ernment with deceit in regard to the referondam. "There is a difference," says our contemporary, "between the situation in Manitoba and that of On- tario.. In Manitoba the legislature has passed the act and 'it is now ask- ing the people, after the Swiss plan, if they approve of it. In Ontario the legislature repudiates responsibility » J for the act, and casts the duty of ad- pndicating upon it on the electorate." | loyal opposition was profoundly and | miler, at the same time, declares (hat he bas wo faith in prohibition, 'and 60 use for it. As far. as words can go and mean anything he says the prohibition scl is no good asd that it ought to go. In. Ontario the position is quite dif- ferent. The Manitoba act, which has been pronounced constitutional, will be adopted, and .the people, by the referendum, and by & reasonable ma- jority of the vote cast, will be asked ta say what they desire respecting it. There is no repudiation in the work of the Ross' government. It promised to pass an © act under certain circum- stances, and it proposes to redeem itd pledge. It proposes, at the same time, that public opinivn shall Be be- hind the law, if. it is to be enforced, | and the plebiscite of 1994 and 1598 | ate of no value now as an expression of the public will. ------ WEDNESDAY WAFTS.

LULU GLASER DID IT. ------ Marconi Bewitched By Her Win- some Ways, Now comes the startling announce- ment. that the innocent canse . of the broken engagement of Sig. nor. Marconi, the eat inventor, to Miss Josephine Hohe niece of justice Holman, of the supreme court of Indiania, was Latha Glaser, the winsome actress who played "Dolly Varden," in Kingston recently. "Dolly Varden," appeared at the Academy in Montreal, for a week's engagement. Marconi stopped ih Montreal on his way from Ottawa, and saw Miss Glaser. The Eulu Lla- ser laugh and the Lulu Glaser teeth are very fetching. The Lulu Glaser eyes and the Lulu Glaser curls are very delightsome. These, with the Lulu Glaser. spirits and the hoydenish Lulu Glaser witchery, char: every- one. Who was to blame that they had the same effect upon the grave and busy inventor ? Signor Marconi invited Miss Glaser and the management and some of the principals to join himself and fiinds at supper after the play. He propos ed a toast, though a man of few words and brief. "Po lovely woman!" he topsted, bowing low over his glass and look- ing straight into Miss Glaser's blue eyes, "To science and * the scientists," Inughed Miss. Glaser, - and sighor Marconi made a pr bow. He har said he enjoyed being famous. But this reminder 'of fame from a beautiful stranger Signor Marconi. de- cided, was indescribable.

'In the discus sion of her abstention from kising it came out that Miss Westmore had de- clared that no man other than the oné she should marry would ever have the privilege of kissing her, and this statement was pooh-poohed by the other young women, who indulged in insinuations to the effect that some people. perhaps, were more partioular in ptiblic than in private, but this in finuation was wholly undeserved so far as known. : Whether the girls entered into : the conspiracy. or whether, . indeed, thers was a conspiracy st all against the peace and dignity of . Mise Westmors cannot "be affirmed, but .at a recent party some of them began to exploit the accomplivhments of John Woolson as a medium and a seande was ap ranged. An old wardrobe was brought into 'the room, the lights were turned out after the boys and girls had formea a circle, holding each other by the hand, and Woolson eon tered the cabinet and the perforntapce began. 8 Many strange things were told by the spirit voices about those presen, and then silence fell dpon the scehé for a few moments.

'When the lights were turned on and Woolson had stepped from the calinet Miss Westmore - was standing in the middle pf the room, pale, in dignaot and begutiful, and with a trembling voice she ordered her escort to take her home at once. The party broke up a few moments later, . but not till there 'hati been mich speedla tion as to the identity of the person who had stolen the kiss from the lips of Mii Westmore.
