The proposer oi Mr. Shaw, on pom- ination day, made a great break when he ridiouled the idea of the govern ment spending a million dollars good roads. The grant, said he, has been po tied wp and complicated that "no municipality in the province has asked for a single dollar." Amazement' was depicted on the countenance of this man when Mr. Pense rose to speak and reminded him of an experience during the last ses sion of the house. Then a deputation had appeared, headed by the reeve of Wolie Island, and Mr. Pense said that he and Mr. Gallagher had been pri vileged to present it to the minister of public works. It petitioned that Wolfe Island recéive its share of the government grant direct if the county council did not appropriate the amount to which it is entitled, $23, 500, and spend it on a county sys tem of roads, Dr. Ryan appeared to very anxious to make a note of this infor mation, and wrote it down in large letters while Mr. Pense continued his speech. But so far he has not correct od the misstatement, which he em- bodied in his speech and gave out be forehand to the press. "No municipality in the province," said he, "has asked for a single dol lar!" Does Wolie Island not count ? Is it to be ignored? For all any friend of Mr. Whitney can tell, and for all hé can learn in the literature the party, there are several petitions before the a similar description ! ---- OUT FOR THE PLUNDER. The tories are crying, "Just put us in power, and we'll show you what we can do, We are so pure, you know. You'll never hear of any more scandal, nor waste of money. We'll practice economy. We'll turn ont half the officials who aré employed by the local government. We'll protect the people and the ballot box !" "The conservative party enoyved power at Ottawa from 1878 to 1396," «aid the Globe, "and never was power more unfairly ana relentlessly , used. The senate was packed. The franchise law was made to serve a partisan purpose, The constituencies were ger- rymandered, The libogals were hived. Ballots were destroyed. Whole con- stituencies were stolen. Liberals were virtually deprived of their rights as citizens. It was not merely that a fraud was committed here and there by some sShsewre knave. The whole system was devised with a view to Keeping liberals in a permanent state of impotence and inferiority. "Mr. Whitney is now asking the elect ors to lace in his hands such powers as were used by his frienas at Ottawa for eighteen years, * * The voter in fedoral elections between 1878 and 1806 became hardened and inured to fraud and injustice. If he was & lib eral he learned not to look for jus tice, but to submit and bide his time. Is there any guarantee that Mr. Whit- ney's friends will do any better if they obtain control of the electoral machinery of Omtario Any guaranfee? Let the men who undertook to parcel out Ontario into power and they'll plunder it again. on be of government of MOSQUITOES AND FROGS. George Taylor came from Ganano- que on Thursday for the county nomi- nation. * He is not an intellectual force in political life. If there were any doubt in the minds of the people before the nomination, upon this int, there ie mone now. Mr. Taylor was discussing New On- tario. He wanted it to be under: stood that it was not made by the government. It was always there. But what Mr. Ross iound was its timber, and he was giving it away. Mr. Taylor might have been more exact. He was in the federal parlia- ment when the boundary dispute J arose. He knew of the scandals that. attended it. He could name the chums who grabbed at timber limits is i Hi FA AGAINST THE COUNTY. Mr. Gallagher is very anxious to have the electors of Frontenac believe that he is a great temperance man, that he is very solicitous about the success of the cause. One is invited, therefore, to look in- to the manner in which Mr. Gallagh- rt has been expressing his feelings by his votes. It was in 1809 that the government introduced a measure which taxed the revenues of the brew- ers and distillers. * The distillers, especially, were not desirous of any sympathy. The con- servative government at Ottawa had passed a law which had either made or was calculated to make million- aires of them. That law required li- quor to be held for two years before being offered for consumption. The nine distillers in Canada made no objection. They may have been put to some expense in order to house and care the product, but they had a monopoly that was as good as a gold mine, A syndicate of the Morgan type could run up against them, or buy them out, but they were practi- cally protected from all competition. Ontario, following the example of the mother country, essayed to put a tax on liquors, because the govern went felt that these things could stand it. The bill went from stage to stage until it reached the third read- ing, and then Mr. Whitney, just to show that he was not a bit friendly with the corporations, moved the six months' hoist. . Every lowly follower of this auto- cratic leader immediately voted con currence. The tax raised each year over $60,000 for 1899, 1900 and 1901, $188,230. 81-- and it came from a monopoly that could stand the same, yet Mr. Whitney and Mr. Gallagher said they would not have it. The province might need the nioney, and Frontenae might geis its shave, but these things did not count when the opposition had a deal on. Mr. Gallagher, like Mr. Whitney, is one of the temperance men you read about. THE ASTUTE MR. WHITNEY. It is denied that the attitude of the government towards the Clergue en- terprises had anything to do with their success. 't is said that Mr. Clergue had begun operations before he got aid from the government for the Algoma Central railway. Sault Ste. Marie, it is added, was made 'what it is by thg building of the new canal, which was a scheme of the conservatives. The fact is, however, that the Soo and its canal did not amount to much when Mr. Clergue struck the town. He did not then represent very much capital, Sault St. Marie was in u distressed condition. Ite posi tion was made the more pitiable by the failure of the new power canal to attract manuiacturers, Mr. Clergue was keen, ambitious, dashing, daring. He displayea the spirit of the one Munsey has lauded, He had the nerve and energy which were not to be daunted by the fear of wistakes. The original idea was to put $4,000 in a pulp mill, and while contempla- ting this other schemes dawned upon him. They. immediately commenced to take shape. In the north there was timber and there was ore, but they were inaccessible, Hence, the Algoma Central was projected. It was oppos- ed by the Whitney party because it was not serviceable for colonization purposes. The government was im- pressed by Mr. Clergue's representa- tion and voted him the land grant he desired, the grant which Mr. Whitney called a' phenomenal steal, a crime without amalogy in the records of a continent. Mr. Whitney says that in a speech a month before the Algoma Central bill was presented in parliament Mr. Clergue, in Toronto, referred to the enterprises enumerated in the mea: sure, and he wants it to be under stood that these were going on any- way. Mr. Clergue' ought to be the best jurige of the situation, and he as- gerts that but for that railway con 'cession he would not Rave heen 'en couraged to go on with his schemes. When he discussed them in Toron- to be and the government had reach- ed an understanding in regard to them, and the bill went through in accordance with it. Only three years have passed since. Mr. Clecgue laid the foundation for the greatness that has been displayed in business, immense and diverse, that has so far invited the investment of 300,000,000, that employees be- tween 6,000 and 7,000 men and - WHITNEY IS A BRIBER. The Mail is horrified, yes, horrified, that is the word --because the Whig has advocated the election of a Bber- al candaidate, (1) as an expression of gratitude for what the government has done for Kingston in publie, in aid to Queen's college, and (2) ms an encouragement to that government to keep on in well doing. That cry, says the Mail, is a fraud Is it? Is it only appropriate when used hy a conservative, in behalf of the con- servative cause ? Mr. Whitney began the campaign well. He had only "good intentions" to offer to the people. Later he felt that he must angle for votes with better bait. So he told the people of North Bay that he was go- ing to build the Temiskaming railway himself. The government was too slow. He told the miners "at Sudbury that he would change the mining laws, and give them what they want ed He became holder as he proceeded, and promised better terms to set tlers, all the pine upon the lots, and all the pulpwood they could bid for in a public auction. He would erect: a government smel ter. He would refine the nickle at home. He would kill Mr. Clergue with kindness. He would give New Ontario 8 minister. He was out for power at any price, and the concessionaires, the contract ors, the exploiters, had only to say what they wanted and it would be theirs--if he got into power. Mr. Whitney, the Mail's ideal, can bribe by wholesale, and it's all right. But is is wrong, very wrong, to say, in bebalf of a liberal candidate, that the city has fared well since it sent the govermment a supporter, one in sympathy with its views and plans, and that common sense suggests this is not time for a change. A CRITICAL COMMISSIONER. A man must needs be in the service all the while, in conmection with pro life, to feel Dr. commercial Our friend fessional or that he is posted. Ryan is an old school teacher, but it is twenty years or more since he presided in the school room, and the school system has made many great advances in the meantime. There are no doubt a good many things about it that are quite new to him. it is hardly the thing, then, for him to offer his personal condemna- tion of the education department. There is, perhaps, one issue which he is capable of discussing. Some years ago a difficulty occurred in connection with some of the Ottawa schools, and Dr. Ryan was a commissioner whom the government appointed to report upon the facts. As he drew $700 for his work, it is presumed to have Leen carefully done. That the government was not indiffer- ent in regard to it may be seen in the fact it was acted upon, at once, and satisfactorily. Bhe inference is plain. system is not perfect, be complete. But it represents best thoughts of the best minds. represerits the experience of men who have the desire only to serve their day and generation in the most ac- ceptible way, Dr. Ryan talks about the education- al convention, and says it condemned the school system... It did nothing of the kind. The leading teachers and trustees of the province responded to Mr. Harcourt's invitation and offessd eriticism which was kindly meant. The opinions of the convention, diverse as they were, and even contradictory, will be duly considered by the minister of education and his advisory commit- tee. Eventually the ideas that ar practicable will be" crystalized into acts and laid before parliament. This point was made clear by the report to the board of education of its delegate to the convention in 1901. Approval was expressed in the motion The school It never will the It for its adoption. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Gallagher says he is a temper ance man, but he does not believe in prohibition. The county candidate says he would have supported the prohibition bill but not the referendhan. Anything for an excuse. The Whig reports the speakers at public meetings whether they are li- biral or conservative. It is a newspa- per. Hence its success. It is up to Mr. Gallagher to give Ontario's deficit. He will be excused, perhaps, when he adds that he can not analyse the accounts. Mr. Whitney, at Morrisburg, said he would "do all he could to maintain the present school system." Then it ean't-be so bad after all. It's time for - ery which is Gallagh all right as a conservative whip, but be is out of his class as a campaign er. He did not cover himself with glory at Cataraqui. J Why did Mr. Pense bolt from his party when the Hon. Mr. Harty was nominated for the federal house ? it is asked. He ddn't. He nominated Mr. Harty at the liberal convention, and Mr. McKelvey seconded the motion. The conservative party Pense pleased the party while he was president of , the Fberal association Is that so? The conservatives lost in every contest; and they really liked it? savs Mr. The local tories are shouting about the tax on corporations, "Away with it," "Away with it." But Mr. Whit- ney (changed about) shouting, "Hands offi! Leave it alone.' And wasn't he saying it should go? Yes. Well, he's changed his mind. is The Mail gives a list%f the places that would be benefited if the fire and life insurance companies and oth- er financial concerns were by the municipalities in place of the province. Kingston is not one of them ! It gets now some of the pro- vincial tax, Without this tax it would not get anything. "The Whig," said Mr. Gallagher, at Cataragui, "will tell you that Mr Whitney is no leader." There are leaders and leaders, friend. Mr. Whit- ney may be your ideal, but he is not leading his party to success. "The great heart of the party," says The Tory, "will not beat in sympathy with a head which ignor-s its exist and sniffs at its ucepest emo- tions." assessed ence NAPANEE CHEESE BOARD.
