His sermons were in great de mand, not because they were deep and philosophical and dealt with modern phases of thought, but be cause they were picturesque and pleas ing. Dr. Talmage was not aman of imposing address. He had a good de fivery. He was sensational enough in his style, and sometimes in the pul pit did queer things in order tp com- mand attention. But his voice was hard and did not give to the finer passages in his sermons the liquid ex- pression which make them touching. He disappointed the people of Eng- Tand when Major Pond, the veteran manager, took him across the water many years ago. They failed to see in him the serious and sympathetic individual who bad moved them by '| his sermons. fe was a business man, however, with a keen relish for ed-, vertising, and until the last his pen was in. demand, Though for some years without a church his sermons "Wont out weekly, and were read, it is caleulated, by thirty millions ol peo- ple. ? THEY NEED WATCHING. The Montreal Gazette is very inno- cent, indeed, if it believes that the conservative heelers of Ontario want any education, in any school or col lege of grafters, in the abuse of the ballot system. 'The experts of the party have been touring the country for many years and doing great *ex- ecution by their crookedness, and es- pecially since 1806, when one Free horn was sent to Manitoba, duly cre dentialled by the tory organizer, and commissioned to instruct the deputy- returning officer in the slipping, spoil: ing and switching of ballots. The cor: rupters were caught in she business, and the confessions which some of them made are the most shameful on record. In the face of this fact, it is the veriest sham of the party to say that they do not understand the terms which imply criminality at the polls. And they are afraid that they may be done up in the next election, and will watch the ballot. boxes! [Others will 'watch them, for in the evidence of the courts they are not to be trusted out of sight. : POLITICS IN THE COUNCIL. All the facts go to show that the conservatives in the city council, at the last meeting, played a disappoint- ing and compromising part. Ald King had no sooner presented the re- port of the water works committee than the agony began. It was very well known that local feeling, strong and intense, was running against the proposal to award the contract for a new boiler to an outside firm, and the conservative members were in a funk ghout it. The mayor saw three members on the conservative side in succession, though others, liberals, had risen at the same time and failed to catch his eve. Ald Bell moved an amendment to the report, Ald. Craig moved am amendment to the amendment and in it embodied the offer of the work to Selby & Youlden at the price ten dered by the Toronto firm. At once it was apparent that the liberals were getting the advantage and something had to be done. There was a lot of panicky talk, sad to no purpose. Some one finally suggested, a conser. vative of course, that perbaps the local men would not accept the offer. Ald Craig felt satisfied that they would; indeed he bad received go letter » | from them to that effect. Then began the contortions of a party in distress. The letter was not addressed to the council. Could any notive be taken of it? The mayor thought so, if Me. Belby, who was present, would change the address from Ald. Craig fo the mayor and aldermen. This was done. Ald. Bell, who had meanwhile withdrawn his was not desirous of taking notice of » communication which had been re ceived as this one was.

Craig's proposal be adopted This might as well have been dome last Monday night. Ald. Craig and others will get the credit of building up the ittee in the interest of King- ston labour all the same. CHARGE AGAINST BEATTIE. A new sensation was sprung at the political meeting at which Mr. Rogers was nominated ss the liberal candi- date for North Toronto. Mr. Janes bad been in favour of having the contest between Dr. Beat- tie Nesbitt and Mr. Marter, the one a conservative and the other an inde pendent. "Mr. Marter," said be "had been referred to as a traitor, (A voice ~80. he is), "And what about Dr. Beattie Nesbitt," said Mr. Japes? In 1896 a man had gone to him (Janes') house at one o'clock in the morning to have an interview with a certain and eminently popular liberal. For, what purpose? To make terms "for the support of the liberal party in the election of that year, and he did not believe that gentleman's name was any different from that of Dr. Beattie Nesbitt." Now there will be wigs on the green. Dr. Nesbitt will be under the necessity of answering this allegation ~that he offered to sell out the con- servative party, or to transfer his support to the liberal party. He ig nored the insinuations of Mr. Mates; in his pamphlet, dnd to the effect that be had no tse for Mr. Whitney. He cannot ignore this charge of Mr. Janes, who is a conspicuous figure in Toronto, and who will take a fall out of the doughty doctor if there is_any occasion for it. » CALVIN AND MARTER. The Toronto Telegram lauds and magnifies the name of Mr. Calvin be- cause be voted with the government on the budget division, and so dis- played his- genuine independence. "Independence," says our contempo- rary, "which is worthy of respect, will usually display its virtue in the day of a party's prosperity. Hiram Calvin did not hesitate to be inaependent on a question of principle like the Reme- dial bill. His independence when his friends were in power established his right to be independent when his friends are in opposition." This independence is compared fa- voursbly with that of Mr. Richardson, the late member for Lisgar, "Neither Mr. Calvin nor Mr. Richardson," says the Telegram, "developed that pecun- liar New Brunswick type of independ- ence which permits its apostles to strain at gnats when its friends are in opposition and swallow camels when its party is in power." An aw- ful example of this political degener- acy is not given, but it is not diffi: cult to find one. Mr. Foster at once looms up before the eye. He was originally very independent, ana as the champion of lofty ideals, on the non-partizan plan, he was elected to parliament. He fell from his high pe destal before the blandishments of Sir Jobn Macdonald, and once down there was no limit to his lapses. As a further example of how the conservative party regards indepen- dence one has only to point to Mr. Marter. His only offence consists in the fact that he could not see eye to eye with his leader on the matter of developing New Ontario, and because ne did like Mr. Calvin, namely voted according to his judgment and con- victions, he is called a traitor and kicked out of the party. Oh, yes, Mr. Telegram, the opposition in Ontario has the very highest respect for the man who uses his bead and dares to difier with the leader. Of course Mr. Marter and Mr. Cal vin are unlike in one respect. Mr. Marter bas never enjoyed the luxury of "kicking" while his party has been in power, gnd present indications de not point ta a time when such a th ng will be possible.

A short time ago he was enjoying » country walk near Ruccarigo, and, feeling very thirsty, he personally ask- ed a peasant woman, who was milk- ing a cow by her roadside cottage, for a glass of milk. "] can't give you this," said the woman, not knowing who it was that addressed her; "bat if you will mind the cow I will fetch you one from the house." The king jovously agreed, and mind- ed the cow until she came back with pthe promised milk. When she returned he asked her why no farm hands were ghout, "They've all gone to eatch glimpse of the king." she answered. "Well, little mother, vou c¢an see him now." replied the king, "and that, too, without: leaving your work." At this she laughed, for this demo. cratic, simple-garbed = stranger did but try to jest with her. The king laughed, too, as be saw how she do- ceived herself. Then, pressing a coin into ber hand for the milk, he saun- tered om.
