EDW. J. B. PENSE, PROPRIETOR. I'tIE DAILY WHIG. 'Opiter ver Orbem Dicor,' A SIGN OF BRAVERY. Mr. Whitney is posing as a very! bold and courageous man. He wants it to be understood that he is against the new liquor act and the referen- dum. The people need not he told that, it took him some time to make up his mind where he stood upon the question. During a part of the late session of the legislature he was mum and mysterious. Then he became somewhat voluble, and at a certain dinner in his honor announced that he was not going to take any part in the the settlement of prohibition. The question was one thats affected only the government and dts supporters, and he was going to let them remain in a stew. Later it hecame evident that he had to take sides, and when forced into ac tion he made a speech, from carefully typewritten notes, in which he declar- ed that if given a chatice to rule he would | continue the license system under non-political influences. Just what he means he has not de- fined, but the electors can recall the non-political administration which the conservative government at Ot tawa suggested when it undertook to appropriate the powers of the provin- cial goverment and direct the liquor trade. Nothing could be more grossly partizan, and Mr. Whitney's adminis tration would be but a repetition of it with all its faults and flaws, Mr. Whitney professes to be very firm upon this prohibition question, but he has said nothing except what he has been forced to do, and he has been very careful even then not to promise too much. -------------- QUESTION IN ARITHMETIC. Mr. Ross is giving the pulp wood of Ontario away! That is the cry, the daily cry, and almost the only cry of the opposition. It shows that the party is somewhat hard up for a grievance, and it is not a substantial grievance either. Mr. Ross, in his splendid speech in North York; (Mr. Davis' constituency) referrod to the question, and put it in a light in which it will ibe easily com- prehended. Said be : "The opposition say we are wasting the pulp forests. Let me give you a little question in arithmetic. T am not good gt arithmetic, but I can do long division. If any pulp mills with which the government has made an agree ment works full time they will con- sume in one year 320,000 cords of pulp-wood, and there are seven pulp concessions. There are 258,000,000 cords of pulp-wood in Northern On- tario. How many years will it take these seven pulp mills to consume the pulp-wood supply of the provinee? Just 900 years! The electors will, therefore, understand that there will be pulp:woed in Ontario when they are gone and pulp-wood for the;mak- ing of paper for their children and children's children -to the remotest generations." What is more, on every cord of that pulp-wood which is cut the concession- avies pay a fee of 40c. to the gov: ernment, and the material would be worth nothing and going to waste but for the pioneer railways projected by the government and syndicates that are opening up the country. MR. WHITNEY IN LABOUR. The Kingston people have so far received two special messages from Mr. Whitney. The conservative can didate had an audience with the great man, the man of many disappointed hopes, and learned that the party was expected to redeem Kingston. Still ter another local conservative rode a few milés on the same train with the conservative leader and was permitted to have a short conversa tion with him. The result is an- noanced ~Mr. Whitney js going to carry four out of the six seats in New Outario, and Kingston. The rest of the province is of no account, cud it can take care of itself. Mr. Whitney has his eye on only two spots. Of course it does mot ocenr to the gonservative candidate ana his spon- sor that Mr. Whitney would hardly be diph gh to say that he expects defeat all along the line. The of the party. Mr. Whitney is having his second trial. Failure in each case has been followed by decapitation: Mr. Whitney is quite aware of his peril. It is a case of succeed now or go away back and sit down, snd be uppears to be nerving bimself for the inevitable. TALKING ABOUT OTHERS. It is not wise to eount one's chick- ens until they are hatched. The con- servatives are, counting upon what they will do when they get into pow- er. They are even threatening what they will do to the office holders. Théy say that parliament is dead, that the government is acting by a sort of courtesy, and that any ap- poistment it may make until the elections will be surely annulled by Mr. Whitney--if he gets the chance. They assume that Mr. Ross is doing, or going to do, a lot of unfair things. They bad better wait until they have something to complain of Lord Aberdeen did not object to Sir Charles Tupper's appointment of his pets to minor offices but my lord did object to the attempt of Sir Charles to fill some seats in the sen- ate which had long been vacant, and which it' was thh prerogative of the liberals to fill, an election in the meantime having placed them in power. If, after the election in On- tario, and the government sifers de feat, Mr. Ross makes any appoint ments it will be in order to make complaint. In the meantime the talk of his critics amounts to an imperti- nence. Their audacity, however, is not something new, Again and again, in the past, they have discussed the thing, that Mr. Meredith and Mr, Whitney had in view. Again and again they have been picking out certain places of trust for distinguished men. A seat in the cabinet was even select. ed for a conservative candidate in Kingston, in one election, and it is just possible, --it would be in perfect keeping with the pretensions' of some people--that the performance may be repeated during the campaign which has just been opened. Let not any one ceived by the idle talk ponents, The relative strength of the parties is indicated by the relative strength of the leaders, and the speeches of Mr. Ross and Mr. Whit- ney, as they appeared in the Globe and Mail of Saturday, sounded in one case the peal of victory and in the other the knell of defeat, Read these speeches, friends, if you have not done it, and you will get a tolerably clear idea of the capacity of the men that are appealing for your support. The one is a record of service; the other a record of nothing. The one a manly statement of facts; the other a miser able wail of discontent. The one is the presentation of definite plans for future usefulness; the other an apolo- gy for fault-finding and failure. As these men differ so do the parties they represent, and as they have fared in the past at the hands of the electors so they will fare in the fu- ture. be de of our op- EDITORIAL NOTES. The Whig is being quoted a good deal by the local and provincial press. It's a good sign. Let the good work go on. " ! Mr. Whitney he is going to carry four of the seats in New On- tario. There's a choke for you! He has been such a friend of the country, and is entitled to so much of its grati- tude. says In his spesch at Port Hope Mr. Whitney said his party would offer the people nothing but good ° intentions. The people have heard of them before and appraised them at their proper value, Mr. Foy says the" reform party was kept in power by the votes of the temperance people. Oh! It mused to be said that the liquor men were the friends of the government. But that was before Mr. Foy became a spokes man for the party. do Mr. Whitney, if premier, could great things for the public schools ! But he leaves the people in blissful ignorance of what he has in mind. His attitude recalls the old song. to the effect that a lot of things are go- ing to happen, "but for goodness sake don't say I told you." The Danish government has repudi- ated Capt. Christmas, who alleged that he had accomplished the sale of the West Indies Islands to the Ameri i I [HE AFFAIRS OF THE HOUR. TELEGRAMS FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH.

Kansas City Voting To-day. Kansas City, Mo., April 8.--The el ection in Kansas City to-day is for a mayor and other municipal officials. The contest has been a fierce one with municipal ownership of lighting faci lities, the enforcement of the terms governing the franchifes granted to public service: corporations, and the improvements of the streets and the water evstem as the chief issues. Mayor James A. Reed, is a candidate for re-election on the democratic tic ket, and the republican nominee for mayor is John J.

Coming out on the platform, unheralded, and hy press agents unsung, she won a double triumph by her great personal beauty and the beauty of her voice. She is a tall, well-proportioned woman, of graceful carriage, and perfectly: com- posed bearing. Her voice is a rich, sympathetic, vibrant soprano, well cultivated. Her success with an ultra eritical audience was instantaneous. Grand opera house, Thursday. Seats on sale at Hanley's. Remember Ross. Extract From Whitney's 8) % A critical position has arrived in the province of Ontario; its fair fame and public morality are on trial; the press of this country, the clergy and the women of this country have a task before them, in order that the fair fame of this province shall go down to our children in a manner of which they shall not be ashamed when they read of what their fathers did when great important questions re lating to public morality came hefore them for decision and judgment.

Bruce Car Stole Horse; Traded For A Watch. Brockville, April 8.--Archibald White stole a horse from William Sheridan, OLD FORT HENRY. That Historic Place Should be Cared For. Years ago, when many of us were voung, one of the most enjoyable of Sunday afternoon strolls was over Barrieficld hill to Fort Henry. Since Kingston has teen supplied with five parks, the pil rimage across Catara- fg bridge on a Sunday has fallen off. owever, last Sabbath afternoon there was quite a procession of strollers to the old fortificatGtus and hillside. The day was mild, the air refreshing, and a gentle breeze was wafted over the heights. The harbor was calm 'and hazy, and the city lay in a deathlike silence, not a sound coming over the water. The scene was grandly im: pressive and beautiful. One felt lifted up from every day cares and worries in the calm that reigned, and in gaz ing upon forest, hill and isle in the garb of spring. A visit to the fortifications revealed sad decay, The fort, where once the soldier dwelt tw defend the old his torie city from the efemies of Britain, is slowly going to min. The union jack still floats proudly over the place of defence, recalling days when the clash of arms resounded within its walls. For the sake of its historic as Sociations and its picturesquencss, Fort Henry should not be allowed to further go into decay and ruin. It should be kept in repair--not only that, but beautified. Pressure should be brought to bear upon the govern ment, and if the matter is vigorously DISTRICT DASHES. News of the District Condensed From the Whig's Exchanges.
