Mr. Blake voted for the con- servative candidate in South Toronto, and the fact has been heralded to the world by the conservative leader and the conservative press. Jt was announced that this was be- cavse of a difficulty which had occur red between Mr. Blake and the crown lands' department. It was the result of a personal grievance, and not of anv change of heart or faith or poli- tical convictions, The Mail has been anxious to give more light on the subject, and prints a new explanation of the case in the language of Mr. Blake. It reads thus : "The reason that I voted for Mr. Foy and against the government was because of the manner in which the government dealt with the university question, and because one of the principal departments was so conduet- ed as to destroy confidence in a gov ernment responsible for its adminis tration." The political world is as unenlight- ened as ever, and if the government and its former friend are not to be misjudged there will have to be fur ther information. What is the matter with the university question ?! Where in ie the department referred to faulty and undeserving of the public confidence ? : Hon. Mr. Blake has been a gioat liberal in his day, and any difference between him and the government is, of course, significant. It becomes the more so when Mr. Whitney feels free to talk about it, and Mr. Blake him- self is willing to give it an airing in public. Governments are not infallible. Neither are inaividuals. The erring side will never be known if all that oan be has been given to the press. Everything has qo beginning, of course, and what has appeared may be but the text for - the controversy. The discussion may follow ana it may be loeally interesting if, as the aver age reader supposes, the college ques- tion involves the 'aid which has been given to the school of mines here. NG" THE CHURCH OF THE DAY. Canon Welch, of the cathedral in To- .ronto, and one of the most active leaders in the Anglican church in Can- ada, discounts its imitative spirit. He 80 Yer, or rather if it ware failing to ex- ercise the inflience which it should is an Englishman by birth and elica a THE WHIG -- 68TH YEAR the war regarding mobility, flexibi- ity, adaptability. ' St. Peul's thought was, "1 am be come all things 0 all men that I may all means save some," and the church had read it: "1 am the same thing to all men, whatever their con dition, circumstances, or disposi or tion, the problems, to the past." "That has been is that which shall be" the despairing conclusion of the most in the pages deference helpless pessimist Holy Writ. The church, in the opinion of Canon the Welch, was not the end. but means to the end, the glory of and the salvation of nen.

Last night 1 saw my friend, ° the commercial traveller, comfortably seat ed in the iobby of the hotel, his feet vesting on the window sill. He was smoking a perfumed Havana, with now and then, a formidable jet of saliva, which ' he with- a true aim and impeccabie accuracy nto a spittoun, as large as a tub, placed at six feet from him. Unhke most of his comrades, who afe generally shy and silent, my iriend is talkative He speaks well and much, has a quick wit, but he never listens. He avows candidly that lis tening is for him an intense pain and life is too short to submit to such a strain. I wok a seat near him, on the op posite side of his frequent trajpctory to the cuspidor. And then my friend went on with this little speech : "You, Kingstonjans, you are the most extraordinary people possible. You don't know what is good for you, You have the finest little city on earth, and you don't appreciate it. You seem dead, for military garrisons have" killed you. Garrisons bring in fads, fashions and social functions, but they kill commerce and industry. Look at Quebec. It was dead, but now since it hos no more garnsows, it is coming to life again. It's now a flourishing town. You should do the same. Well, I counted to-day nine empty stores, in two blocks on your principal street. If you can't revive in dustry, turn your city into a 'sum mer resort. You have for that the finest situation in the world, immense waters and the most beautiful islands at hand. In front of your elegant city park, there is a spo, cumbered with weeds and rubbish, which are a shame for the surroundings: Tear that all down to the water shore, and build a luxurious, a gorgeous hotel with lawns, flowers, games, sports, chestra days and evenings, dances, wharves, boats of all descriptions. Do things grand, and thousands of travel lers will stop a few days with you, and vou will enjoy their money and their society. But you must put your hands in your pockets. Wake up, my friends, wake up. It's a downright shame, to see every day in summer time boat loads of vour shores; giving you the cold shoulder, Yes, your city should be the finest summer resort of Canada, and vou are the only ones who seem not to know it." Then, after a last and supreme shot in the centre of the bull's-eye of the cuspidor, my friend and took leave of me. It is with a rather timid pride that I publish here the very interesting ut terances of my friend, the commercial traveller, who is alone responsible for the tersoness and savour of his say ings. projected or tourists going by rose IS LIKELY UNTRUE. As Brace in His Statement Said Nothing of it. On Tuesday we copied a paragraph from the Globe, that after the shoot ing of Corpl. Knisley and Pte.
