JOHN OFFORD, « Propristor, Assistant Business Wanager. i2 DAILY WHIG.. Opiter per Orbem Dicor.' TESTIMONIALS: This from the Toronto Telegram, whose publisher, J. Ross Robertson, was formerly the conservative repre- sentative of East Toronto, ia empha tie: "It would be good tactics for the conservatives to try and prove that thoy would do as well, or better, than the grits have done in handling the public resources or spending the public money. But the opposition does pot strengthen itsell by its feeble and ineffectual attempts to prove that the liberals have handled the public resources unwisely, or have spent the public money either rashly or dishonestly."' This, from a conser vative and unquestionably independent sourse, ought to hush some people up, and made them stop their crook- ing. Perhaps the boldest and most im prudent of them all is the Mail, and ite own columns bear the testimony that "the Ontario government's man- agement of the finances has been thrifty, judicious and élean." ------------ A CHANGE OF MUSIC. The opposition has npt improved in these later years. Time was when iv was at least interesting in its public performances. In the early days of the: Mowatt government the Cannon Lavder-Roultbee Rykert famous quar tette made some 'great music, and its remarkable appearances were illustrated by Grip, the best of Canadian comic papers. Later, and during the time the Hardy administration reigned, the St. John company commanded attention while it discoursed upon the calf with a cough, the white bull without a tail. the ram Dan, and the Humber piggery. In this campaign the scan dals, the carrion, and the smells of the past have been abandoned, and Mr. Whitney is posing a® a moralist and appealing to the clergy, the re ligious press, the good men and wo- men to Tall Gown and worship him. This the party hes presented itself in varios guises, but always with the same result--that the people will not trust if. "We cannot sing the old songs," says Mr, Whitney, but it would be all the same if they did, and they would be quite as interesting. humorously A PARTY AT SEA. What is the policy of the local position ? Nobody knows. Mr. ney has been finding fault with the government and ita proceedings, but hoe has not advanced any programme which he can conscientiously say - has the party's endorsement. That the party, as a whole, is not satisfied, has been made very clear. It will be remembered that the leader of the opposition summoned a ocomneil of political friends which met in Toronto in Di ber, 1900. Dr. Smythe at tended it. A platform was then sug- gested. The erstwhile candidate of the party in East York, Mr. Moyes, de manded that a convention be cat. d and a policy defined, but he was over ruled and silenced hy Mr. Whitney, who feared that at a larger gathering "rash and injudicious statements' would be made, and the party held espousible for them. He had his way then, but he did not quiet his follow- ers. Soon after the World, conservative, op- Whit- about snythbing, snd thst he is so cir cumstanced because he will not, or dare not, consult the party. He talks gometimes about the liberals stealing his ideas of government, when, as a fact, he has nothing in that line which * can be appropriatel. SUNDAY LABOUR. The Lord's Day Alliance, and all who are in sympathy with its objects, will approve the decision under which an appeal is to be niade to the court of final resort, the privy council of England. The provincial court of ap- peal has, for a long time, had before it certain questions which were rufer red to it by the government, and which were calculated to settle the power of the = province to determine and enforce Sabbath observance. Some questions tae judges, excepting Judge Armour, declined to answer. So that the purpose of the reference has been practically defeated. What has been said by the court--and by no means unanimously--is more against the in terpretation of the law by the Lord's Pay Alliance than in its favour. The chief issue is the point whether a pro vincial measure can deal with what properly belongs to the dominion par liament. In addition works of neeos- sity may be carried on, and at once there has been a case which was dis posed of on this point, namely that against the contractor at Cornwall who worked his hands on Sunday in order to push to completion the canal | contract . he had on hand. Contriba- tory to the result was the concession of the federal government, which struck out of the contract the prohibi- tion against Sunday labour, and so paved the way for the plea that it was a necessity. - Having failed to get a satisfactoey ruling from the Cana- dian court upon the subject appeal is quite properly taken to. the highest court in the realm. The questions at issue are such as call for the fullest light from the highest legal lumin- aries, and for the settlement of them for all time. GREED OF MONOPOLIES. The beel trust is exhibiting its greed in no uncertain way. Its plan is to wholly monopolize the trade, and to employ no one who is not its willing agent and tool. There are apparently two objects in view. One is to take over the complete control of the meat trade, ana che other is to run up the prices and keep them up. The battle between the forces in a place like New York, (now the great- er city because incorporated with Brooklyn), where other and aggres- sive combinations have existed, is ex- ceedingly fierce. Hitherto in Gotham two associations have grown rich up on the bounty of the people, and bounty they have exacted with no un sparing hand. These are the Brokers' and Butchers' associations. The bsok- ers bought all the sheep, calves and hogs from the farmers, and sold them to the butchers, and a violation of the compact led to serious financial pains. These associations have had to be reckoned with, because in a trade of about two and & half mil- lion of sheep and lambs and nearly half a million calves the annual com- missions must have been about half a million dollars. The associationy will not go out of business without = fight. The great trust must, however, have very carefully prepared for the combat, and caléulated upon an ex: traordinary campaign. It includes the buying up of eggs, hams, lard, ponl try, evervthing that can be aceepted a8 a substitute for meat, which is restricted in its supply and sold at exorbitant rates. The eggs and poultry are put into cold storage, and so well cornered that they have become scarce and dear. The people have still their bread and butter and vegetables, but they realize that they may have to pay for these far more than they are worth. They are the sufferers on every hand already, from the oil, sugar, cotton seed, envelope, steel, glass, milk, oil cloth, cordage, coffin, carpet, beer, and other trusts. They are all prospering, and the plan is to add to their number, and, in the matter of food, to organize one huge and soul less corporation. "Like the frogs of Egypt they have dish, and the powdering tub. They with the butler in his box. They ill mot bate us a pun. We may not clothes without their brok- EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Whitney's greatest grievance, "We've have been out of rower too long." The date of polling, May 29th, suits the leader of the opposition. He is { ready--to be offered up. The Whig is rcpresented as having. in previous elections, abused certain leaders of the conservative party. But jit is not in the habit of abusing | friends. its A campaign button has been gotien out by the conservative party with Mr. Whitney's picture on it: By and bye it will be handy for the game, "Button, button, who's got the but. ton." The Hamilton Spectator protests against the spoon-feeding of New Oan- tario. Hasn't Old Ontario had any of it? Hasn't even the ambitious city profited considerably by govern. ment favours ? One does not hear any more alout the calf with a cough. Poor thing it must have died since the last elec tion, though the conservative party does nol seem dN have gone into mourning on its account. ---- Now that the conservatives are ab out to send a deputation into New Ontario, the nicest things are being said about it. The last has been pro- bably heard about Mr. Clergue's phenomenal steal for the Algoma Cen- | tral railway. The Witness has information to the effect that, in the Ontario political campaign, "the prohibition question seems to" count for nothing." It is only one question, and it is only ov- ershadowed by others. Mr. Whitney dodges it all he can. The young Americans tend Oxford, as a result of the Rhodes' scholarships, will not lose their nationality. They will," however, get impressions of English life which will do them good and indirectly bene fit their nation and people. PITH OF THE NEWS. The Very Latest News Culled From All Over The World.

Kingston stands for Pemse, ' whose public spiritedness, zeal for the city, willingness to help all good causes,and stalwart liberalism, marked by inde pendence and thought, has made him esteemed by all classes. Will the conservative educationalists step right up and tell us what chan- ges they would make in Ontario's school system ? They shout loudly, but offer no improvement. They de stroy. but do not construct. The new electric light in front of the liberal © committee rooms on Princess street illuminates the whole block Similar to the noble record of the Ross governmert, it "shines like a good deod in a naughty world."

MAY GO ON STRIKE. Plumbers and Tinsmiths' mands Not Yet Met. There are some important difference es botween the union plumbers and the bosses. The union has asked that two grades of men be recoguized, and that one grade be paid 22}c. an hour or 82 a day, ang the other 194c. an hour or $1.75 a day, the day in each case being a nine-hour one. The boss os gre willing to pay the better class of workmen 32 a day, as usual, but severgl of the largest employers in the city object to pay second grade men $1.76 a day. Another clause in the un ion/s agreement is that no man, who is not a of local union, No. 221, shall be employed to do union work. The same firms object to this course. The other boss plumbers have signed the agreement. It is said that unless the two objecting firms sign the. agreement before May lst, a strike will take place. Three city firms have refused to grant the demands made hy the tin smith's union. The men ask that the minimum wage for second grade em plovees hé 81.75, instead of $1.66, the present wage. They also want a nine hour day, with an eight-hour on Saturday. Prominent members of the anion stated this afternoon that if the demands were not granted by to- morrow morning the men in the three shops mentioned would be called off, and a strike declared. It i¢ almost certain that the tin smiths' demand for an increase of 10c. a day will be agreed to this al ternoon, and there is a [ovibiuly that the plumbers' trouble will settled befote May Ist.
