THE FORCES OF NIAGARA. The Syracuse Post-Standard does Lord Kelvin, who is now in America, 8 serious injustice when it credits hin with saying, or meaning, that he ex pects to see the Niagara Falls, as a great national wonder, removed. My Jord was discussing electrical energy, in New York, as be can do with great interest for there is not in the world an engineer who holds more advanced views as his discoveries and inventions and books have displayed. He has contemplated the immense waste of power at the falls, and, with the eye of a seer, he predicts the time when the water that is now rushing on unchecked will be captur: ed, sent through the turbines, and made to spread "light and power in all directions." Something towards this end has already been accomplish ed, and a great 'deal more will be at- tempted in the not far distant future, And this can be done without any practical impairment of the falls as & nataral ov neticnei-attzaction ne of The Post-Standard does Lord Kel: vin a wrong when it credits him with demanding the extinction of Ni- agara Falls, and charges him with a lack of common-sense, Says our eon temporary ¢ "When the enterprise of the gentle men who operate those power plants at Niagara have gone far enough, so thatthe existence of Niagara Falls is threatened, the attachment 'of the people of this country have for the majestic and beautiful things of na ture will take practical form, and the power which preserves the Adiron: dacks and the Palisades will preserve Niagara Falls from further destruc tion." The waste power on either side the Niagara river can be utilized, and the falls remain in all their grandeur with no less of rock save that which is worn away by the swiftly running current and drop of thousands of tons of . water upon the bed below. Lord Kelvin is a practical man, but he ap- preciates the great and the beautiful in nature, and has an intense admir- ation for Niagara Falls and all that they 'suggest. -------- THE WHOLE TRUTH. The conservative organ bas done just what the Whig desired it to do. It has made a statement about the West Elgin ' election, which fairly bristles with errors or untruths. They may be called errors if they are mace by some one who is ignorant of the facts, They must be called untruths if they are the work of some one who knew the facts and ignored them. It is first asserted that the returning officer was instructed to allow an army of scoundrels and rascals to act as returning officers. The commis. stoners who investigated the case, three judges, found that ** the return- ing officer was imposed upon by two or three persons, who took the places of deputies that had declined to met, These acted under assumed names, snd no doubt were out for mischief, and did not succeed. The com missioners founa, however, that the returning officer acted 'throughout in good faith, and without any sispicion of wrongful acts. It is alleged that in one instance the returning officer refused to obey the machine, that he received a note from Hon. E. J. Davis, and that it settled the matter. There is not, in the official report of the enquiry, any allusion to Mr. Davie, and there i# no evinence whatever that Mr. Davis had anything to do with the returning officer. So that the refer once to him is slanderous and. ficti- tious, : "Then," says our contemporary, "the ballot boxes were stuffed, the votes were 'switched,' and 'swiped,' and the grit candidate was elected. The judges found that thourh one Pritchett--afterivards called "a seli- convicted liar "said he had miscallod eighteen or twenty votes, the in the ballots. at Os goods Hall revealed the fact ol I em " the evidence satisfies us that the said box, with its contents, was not destroyed with design or deliberate purpose." and they will be believed. So that there was neither the sipfi- ing of boxes, nor the "switching" and "awiping" of votes, aad there was not the, evidence to Warrant Mr. Pense, or any other man, in appland- ing the shrieks of Mr. Whiteey about the crimes of West Elgin in the dying hours of the legislature, POLITICAL HYPOCRITS. The West Elgin election case bas af- forded the conservative speakers more scops than enough for the use of coarse language. Mr. McNish has been accused of im- porting into the riding an army of men whose work was not good. But three judges, by royal commission, went to West Elgin, and advertised for the co-operation of all who could cast tight upon the subject. There was no response. So they began and cou ducted an independent and searching investigation. They have put it on record that they could not -trace to the persons named by the conservative press--Alexander Smith, liberal organ- jzer, W. T. Preston, his predecessor, and others-- 'any knowledge of or par- ticipation in the fraudulent and illegal practices" that prevailed. Ptitshett, whose evidence the tories gloried in--and evidence that was secured in consideration of immunity from prosecution if he returned to FOnmada from Detroit; whence he fled was so confusing in his statements that Judge Morgan referred to him as "a seli-convicted liar." And it is upon such stuff and such men that the conservative speakers de- pend when they, affect to be mortified over the revelations in West Elgin. How dreadiully soft and tender they are becoming ! FARMERS' SONS' VOTES. The assertion is made that the con- servatives in the legislature were friendly to the giving of the farmers' sons votes. Long ago, says the Mail, it was demanded by these con: servatives that every male inhabitant, except the criminals, the, insane and the aliens, should have the franchise. They did, eh? ! Well, the record of the house pro- ceedings does not say that. It does say, however, that in 1877 the liberal government proposed to extend . the franchise so that the sons of farmers, those who remain at home, and help to work the soil, might have a voice n the government of the country by the use of the Ballot. How was that proposition received by the opposition, which was then led by Hon. M. C. Cameron? He moved in amendment that this favour be not granted. Why ? Because "it would be to confer special privileges upon them (the farmer sons), and discriminate between different classes of the people, contrary to the genius and spirit of our constitution, and in derogation of the equal rights of all." The opposition to a man supperted that resolution, which is somewhat to be wondered at, since rural life is strongly represented in the house gnd the interest of the farmer is not usual ly unlooked. However, this franchise question became g party one, and the Cameron amendment was put and voted down. The young men on the farm will un- derstand, then, who are their friends, "and that it was the liberal party that gave them the privilege of vot- ing. ADVICE NOT REQUIRED. Mr. Charlton is an able man, but one who is essentially lacking in the element of - judgment. In a motion which he submitted to the commons; seconded by Mr. Bourassa, he advised that the British government be asked to exercise mercy and magnanimity in its settlement of the South African war. Without meaning it--for he was most patriotic in his speech, and most desirous of British rule and British supremacy in the Transvaal--Mr, | Charlton offered to put a stumbling bidck in the way of those who are endeavoring to end the hostilities that are no longer deserving of the name of war. The time of the motion, too, was most inopportune. Canada was fitting out and dispatching a new conting- ent for the seat of conflict. What the Boers might think of it- no one could conjecture, but it was evident, as the premier pointed out, that they. would THE DAILY W HIG, FRI endorsed the position taken by the premier, and begause of this, and his reference to the pitiful efforts of the mover and seconder, excited = Mr Mook and called from him a gentle rebuke. He wondered at Mr. Monk de elining to petition the king for a mer: ciful settlement of the terms of war when in the bye-elections he had com- plaived" that Canada had been made the recruiting ground for a foreign war. : Barring this unpleasant reminder of an unfortunate political episode the debate showed that the heart of the Canadian parliament is sound on the war question, and that it is quite satisfied the British government is capable, without pressure, of exercis- ing the qualities of mercy and mag nanimity in its dealings with a dis tressed and fallen foe. ------------ EDITORIAL NOTES. Again the sigh--*'We've long out of office." * -- Electors, remember Ross, and do your duty towards him on election day. It is time for a change--of conserva- tive leaders. Mr. Whitney ground every day all over the pro vince. Oh, victory for Whitney is in the air, is it 71 will-not do much for him there. The victory the govern ment wants is in the ballots of the people. is The great and original ballot switchers were conservatives, and the party in this capacity holds , record without o parallel. Its championship has never been disputed. The Whig has no knowledge of and no dealings with roustabouts. Mr. Whitney, according to one authority, is in his glory when he's with them, and he can have a monopoly of their company. "The voice of the people may be the voice of God," says The Tory, "but the voice of the party caucus is not the voice of the people." Do you hear that, Mr. Whitney ! The discon- tent over your leadership is very widespread. The conservative party professes to have a great affection for the work: Looking over the record of the Whig cannot find Mr. Whitney has done Will he condeseend ingmen. the legislature enything that for labour party. 10 even notice it? The Belleville conservative paper says that the one thing on which Mr. Whitney can, with confidence, appeal to the electors, is his educational policy *. And what is it, pray? He talks of doing moré for the public schools, but what ? The conservative party which pro- poses an excursion into new Ontario-- the territory saved to the province by the liberalg--will start out on May 20th. The Mail will, of course, have the usual report made upon the sup- plies that go along. The greater part of the Clergue works are said by a conservative print to be in the United States, and the boom is on from there: Is it, now? What about the twenty mil lions that have been invested in Can- ada ? Don't they count? The Montreal Gazette accepts the vote in Manitoba as a justification of the referendum. '"Three-sevenths of the people cannot," it | observes, "against the majority's will, regulate the personal doings of the four-sev- enths.'"" And it is right. Mr. Marter will not run in North Toronto if there is a liberal in the field. He does not wish to split the conservative party. He's 4 bett party man, apparently, than the fel lows that are filling the air with their cries of "Traitor, traitor." The Intelligencer is wrathful be cause contingents of soldiers have | gone from Canada at the Britis gov- ernment's expense. Is it in favor of Ca- nada paying expenses of all these con tingents ? Why does not the party offer a resolution in parliament to that effect ? ; ¢ What is Mr. Whitney's non-partizan plan of dealing with the liquor ques. tion ?

DAY, mm---- WEY LBERALISI'S STRONG. STERN AND ECONOMICAL IN POWER AND PATRONAGE. Two Ridings Up West Are Likely to Be Redeemed to Liberalism --~Remember Ross For What He Has Done For Ontario. Pense ! The liberal candidate. Has assurances of victory. Help him to secure it. Liberals buc- kile in. It's never time for a change for the worse, Kingston is liberal and it will main- tain its record. It's a case of constructionists vs, obstructionists. Rememl and what be has he only policy Whitney bas is his policy to get office. He can't win. Ii you still have your coat on, get it unbuttoned, ready to peel at word. A man who has been a sudcess in business should be a success in parlia- ment. Elect Pense. If you know any liberal whose name is not on the voters' list report him at once to secretary Dean and it will be put on. e Whig prophesied would win. He did. It said Harty would win. He did jor five times. Can you accept another prophecy, that Pense will win ? The electors will have no difficulty countifig on the fingers of one hand men of the opposition who might even bé mentioned for a cabinet, to say nothing of their qualifications to fill that Britton of 'those land grants Rose was going to give the veterans !"' asks the Hamilton Specta- tor. Hon. Mr, Davis is busy signing certificates and will issue them all at once so that all veterans can get an even start for their land. People will be interested in Mr. Whitney's tour to New Ontario, but they do not cary what he carries in the larder. That is his private con cern. On the borders of Oxford are two tad ; ridings of which there is excellent pro spects of seeing return to the liberal fold, East Middlesex and South Perth. In both the liberals are fight ing a winning battle. The Guelph Mercury challenges Mr Whitney, to point out any subjects which are being taught to disadvant- age in the public schools, that is sub jects which would not be taught there only because of preparation for the high school. Electors are asked to help Whitney candidates because the opposition leader is a 'friend of the people." Friend of the people, indeed ! Is it an evidence of friendliness for the people to declare that he will remove from the corporations their fair share the burdens of taxation and place upon the poor man's ghoulders ? The contract for the building of a great pulp mill, at a cost of R500 000 for the Sturgeon Falls company has just been closed. The Toronto World says : 'When completed it will rank as the second largest pulp and pamper manufactory in the world." The goed work so fiercely opposed and denoune ed by Mr. Whitney and the Ontario tories goes on. The people will not be in a hurry to stop Mr. Ross irom building up Ontario. - Toronto Star : There has not been a government, great or small, on the continent that ever held a party to gether with so stern and economical a use of power and patronage. It may be that at times some liberals have thought this policy was carried too far, but the reward of the gov ernment must be found in the faith of the people and the confidence ex pressed over and over again in men who, while the business has Leen growing rapidly, have rigidly kept down the operating expenses. It .i this that has made the government so strong that all attempts to oust it have failed. It is this and nothing else, of n DISTRICT DASHES.
