The Shaw organ slleges that conservative leader "is a man no 'politigal roustsbouts can cajole.'" A roustabouts is described by the lexaco- grapher as "the deck-band on a river steamboat," the man "who moves the cargo, who loads and unloads wood, and the like, or 'he is a shiftless vagabond, who lives by chance jobs." Is that the sort of individual James Pliny Whitney wants a discussion of public questions with? He had able mep before him in the legislature, and he never once rose in it to call his opponents opprobrious terms. Only when he got away from the men who were able 26 correct him when he went wrong did he become saucy in his language, and his political friends in the press hoast that there is not a roastabout. in the land who can ca- jole him ! My, isn't he very brave} the TALKING UP FIGHT. The performance of Mr. Whitney, at a recent political meeting, reminds one of something similar on the eve On that occasion the late Mr. Pardee was the object of Mr. Meredith's wrath. Mr. Pardee usually discussed public questions with a clearness that cut ried conviction. He had been distress ing the leader of the opposition hy his incigiveness of spose andl oeca- sionally by his badinage, and Mr. : Meredith, having got very near to the vonstituency of the commissioner of crown, let free his fury. He intimated that be knew something that make Me. Pardee wince when the legis- lature met. Raising his strong right arm, and swinging it above his head, he vowed vengeance upon the offend ing minister. When the legisiature met the political gladiators faced each other and there was not a word to disturb the harmony of the meeting. There will be u repetition of this ex- perience with Mr. Whitney. Just now he ig in very bad \emper. He wants his party to do something desperate in his behalf. He hints that there may be blood shed at the polls, and he metaphorically rolls up his sleeves and pitches into the fight. But it's all 4 bit of acting. The campaign is warming, and Mr. Whitney is warming too. But he means nothing by all this talk of vigilance committees dis- nster, and flight. It's only for effect. would ---------- HIGH TONED CORRUPTIONISTS. There is a new way of corrupting the constituencies, and the Toronto World, conservative, had occasion to expose it after the Howland-Maclean mayoralty election in Toronto. "The surest way " was thus outlined : " "Are you a worker in that sub-divi- sion "Yes, 1 can handle it. "How much will it cost ? "Two hundred dollars. "And you will guarantee to keep the vote even for that ? "Yen. ' "All right. Here is the money. But do you see this other hundred dollar bill ? "Yeon. "And you know this gentleman » "Yes, I know him and can trust "Well, I am going tn give the brn dred dollars to him, and if you make the majority 'n your division ten or better he will hand the bill to you when the count is made and the ma- iority is shown. "1 understand, and I'll do it." In a later issue, with more of the facts before it, the World denounced the demoralization which had prevail- ed in this election. The Albany Club, the alleged "head centre of toryism in the province," had been oul against Mr. Maclean, and his paper declared : "The public are being aronsed at last to the existence 1a Foronio ol an or gonizedt machine of professional cor- ruptionists. They have a nest in the centre of the city. They handle the money of corporations; their mission has been to corrupt representatives of the people, tors; most of all to iade the one thing that ougat to be sacred in our politice--the ballot box." With this nest of professional oor: at west, and to corrupt the elec | VILLAINS AND SCOUNDRELS. Mr. Whitney, at a public meeting up advised the formation by his party, in every constituency of «a vigalance committee, whose duty 'it would be to watch for the "villains" and "scoundrels" who tampered with the electors, and drive them out of the country. He ssid that physical vio lence would not be needed, as the aforesaid villains and scoundrels were cowards, but at the same time he sug- gested that the committee he com- posed of men weighing about 170 pounds each. \ Now who are these villains ? They are-not liberals. Mr. Ross, the premier of the province, speaking at a meeiing not long ago, said that since 1867 there had been over 900 elections in the province, and out of all the re turning officers who had been appoint. ed not one had been proven guilty of using his position in favour of a lib- eral candidate. Of the deputy re turning officers over 55,000 had been selected by the liberals in the last thirty-thre¢ years, and there had not been a charge or a suspicion of wrong doing brought home io one of them. What of the other side? In Mani toba, the leading switcher said he got his pointers from one Turner, who said he had been given them hy the conservative organizer in Toron- to. Great rascality followed. Some of the criminals confessed. Prosecutions were entered against others, and some of them were convicted. L. Later, only-last- Januery,- Ms. . Mae: lean, M.P., a defeated candidate for the mayoraity in Toronto, described a certain swell club as the nest of pro- fessional corruptionists whose business it was to debauch the constituencies, to corrupt the elections, anfl "to in vade the one thing that ought to be sacred in our politics, the ballot box." Fancy the appointment of a vigil ance committee, at the bidding of Mr. Whitney, to watch for these vil- lasing and scoundrels and drive them out of the city ! EDITORIAL BRIEFS, The cry of the conseryatives, "We've been too long out of power." Peace seems to be at last brooding f over South Afric, The close of the war seems to be at hand. A Hamilton barber has put in the apparatus for the sterilizing of his appliances, and his business is boom- ing. The secretary of state has some sympathy for the widows and orphans that own stock in the. Bell Telephone Company. Are there "many of them ?

Some one will be asking some of these days if John Sandfield ever had a surplus. The big and little loaf--and the big 'and little price-- are very much seen in England at the present time. The tax on wheat and flour looked insignifi- cant, but the bakers bave made the most of it, and working classes are in rebellion. That tax may yet have to go. The political cartoon is all the rage.

Oswego, NY. Paliedive, Fitty-Goe years ago, April 2ist, 1851, oceurred one of the most disastrous accidents that has been recorded in connection with the shipping in Os: weégo harbor. As the Canadian side wheel stesuacr Comet was swung away from the dock at the foot of = West Seneca street, ber boiler exploded and thirteen people lost their lives. Eight wera killed outright and ive died of theif injuries. Those who were killed were Royal Davis, first engineer; James Caroll, second engineer; Thomas Beguns, fire man; John O'Connor, James Church, waiters. The missing were John De were, deckhand; C. Hennessey, carpen- ter, and the colored cook. James Frier, waiter, and Daniel Mé- Guire, cook's mater, were among the infared, and with three others, whose names are pot in the list, subsequent. ly died. : Bronson Babcock, at that time a boy, stood on the lower bridge and was an eye-witness to the accident. The Comet had laid at the dock with bow po nting up the river. A stern ine had been made fast to 3 spile an the dock by which she was turning. She bad succeeded in getting about one-quarter of the way around when the explosion ocourred. There was a cloud of steam and smoke, the hull drifted around until the bow bointed about due north and theh settled up- on the bottom. . The injured were horribly scalded and as soon as they could be reached were hrought ashore and taken to the old Frontier house, which stoed where the Herrmann lumber company's plant is now located, fronting on Seneca street. One poor fellow had lost sll of the skin on his body excepting a little patch on the tip of his chin. The burns were all covered with flour to exclude the air and everything that medical aid coyld suggest was done to relieve their sufferings. Samuel R. Beardsley was mayor of the city on that occasion and the fol lowing communications was received from the mayor, Francis M. Hill, and common council of the city of King- ston, returning thanks for the kind- ness shown hy the people of Oswego : City Clerk's Office, Kingston, Ont. April 20th, 1851 Sir,--I have the honor to enclose to you a resolution passed unanimously at a Yneeting of the common council of this city held yesterday. I have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient ser- vant, M. Flanigan, eity clerk. To his honor, the mayor of Oswego "Resolved, That the thanks of the mayor, aldermen and commonalty of the city of Kingston be given to the authorities and citizens of Oswego, N Y., for the prompt and generous as sistance rendered by them to the cap tain of the steamboat Comet, of the port of Kingston, on the occasion of the dreadful aceident which destroyed the vessel in the harbor of Oswego on the 2st inst., and for their kind and humane attention to the surviv ors of the disaster, their exertions in recovering the bodies of the dead from the water and for the praise worthy facilities afforded by them for conveying the remains of the unfor tunate men who lost their lives by the melancholy event, with every becom: ing decency and respect to their fami lies and friends in Kingston." A true copy~---M. Flanigan, city clerk. City clerk Flanigan was for over half a century clerk of the city of Kingston and died only a few years ago. The Corpet was® raised from the bottom of the river by George Weeks, taken to Kingston and rebuilt; the name changed and for many years thereafter did service as a passenger steamer. The accident was attributed to defective boilers. ---- War Correspondents To Dine.
