No man could have carried himself with greater credit and discretion, and un- der conditions the most trying. Three yours ago, when the people of North America were concerned about the strike then on, when there was suffering, commercially and socially, from the coal famine, when want and distress made . the situation more painful than any one could realize, Mr. Mitchell played the man. He had to sympathize with his fol- lowers, to advise and counsel, to use his ingenuity in planning each day's programme. At the same time he had to lead .in debatgs with the ablest leaders on the side of capital, and, in conference, he crossed swords with the As one writer has put. it Mr. Mi chell shone at his best in the appeal to the president, when the worries of the hour carried all - other persons off their feet save and except Mr. | Roosevelt. The last named was acting a8 a peacemaker, and had to exercise the virtues of such an one. Mr. Mit chell, with a load of care upon him, flashed out his intelligence with all the coolness of an untroubled spirit. And now he rises to the highest point in the course of a noble career. With him was left the word which meant strike or settlement. Strike meant much, if it succeeded. It nwant more if a settlement failed, With the vision of the whole field in view with the hopes and desires and long- ings of every finer mirrored before him, he decided in favour of com- promise. Some may find fault 'with him, among the thoughtless class, but most people will. "applaud his action and commend his courage. Labour leaders need to' have great faith as well as great courage. "The duties that fall to them are onerous indeed. But there are men who are equal to any emergency, and Mitchell heads them all. John They Have Had Enough. The personal attack which was made upon Hon. Mr. Aylesworth, the post- master-general, has had one good of fect, It has cleared away a good many misunderstandings and made Mr. Aylesworth's position more ap- preciable by parliament and people. Mr. Lennox, who led the assault, said incidentally that he presumed he would be scarified hy the postmaster-gener- al, and his expectation was realized. The point advanced against the minister's appearance in court, in oe- casional cases, was these: That his presence might influence the judges. Mr, Aylesworth showed how ridiculous was this contention, He had nothing to do with the promotion of judges, and the occupants of the bench were generally men whose independence of any one was perfectly assured. The postmaster general "said ho had retired from the practice of . the law, and "was merely closing up some busi- ness which he had on hand prior to his election to the house. Hence had Mr. Lennox not made his resolution personal he might have supported it, on the ground that it was inexpedient if he is said to do s0 he was not guilty by any unconstitutional pro- ceadings, A minister has a Fight' to give first attention to the duties of his office, "but the public," said he, in legal business than it fast, snd 1 want it Pa 7 "Yeryome of the members mentioned "is no. more concerned whether 1 am- ploy my leisure time playing golf or is in the vital question of whether 1 eat beef- | steak or pork chops for my break- understood that I © Mr. Aylesworth referred to the man- per in which the people regarded his "| position by the election to the house, and the bar had expressed its opin- jon by givitig him eighty per cent. of {ihe vote cast in connection with the choice of benchers. - 'The house voiced its feelings on the matter by adopt: ing Mr. Fitspatrick's amendment, which said that the public business should have the first claim on the ministers and that the service should have all the time of the government staff. * The conservatives--at least some of the smaller members of the party-- have been nagging at Mr. Aylesworth for a long time, They wanted to try his mettle, Perhaps they are now sat | isfied. Loading The Country. When the bil)" to incorporate the Provincial Ldng Distance Telephone company was under consideration in the house at Hom. A. G. McKay moved to add a clause declar- ing that in ease of nationalizing or provincializing of the telephone ser- vice, the franchise should not have a value. That meant that as the fran- chise was given by parliament free, the same parliament should not have to purchase it at a high price, or be charged with confiscation. This pub- lic saving clause has been placed in provincial railway charters. The wise precaution regarding the new tele phone company, was sustained by Mr. Carscallen, who has presided over the Private Biils" Committee with such fearless and intelligent regard for the general 'interest as to be strong in the good opinion of members. In spite of this the premier and ° his following, gave Hon. Mr. Hanna, opposed the amendment, absolutely declaring that a value and they to Toronto, the franchise had were withing to confer it-in order hit the Boll Telephone company. It was inconsiderate legislation and in- ofective in the main object of checks ing the big monopoly. Discreditable Reports. On Tuesday, Hon. George P. Grah- am in the Ontario legislature declar- ea, regarding a remark credited to him by the Torcnto News, that he had not said anything which could be constru- ed 'into the alleged utterance. There fore it was a clear creation. On Thursday, 'the same newspaper, of pretentions to a high jofirnalistic and independent tone, announced un- der scare heads, thai a mutiny had taken place in the ranks of the liberal opposition; that Hon. Mr. Ross haa proposed amendment upon the electric- al energy bill to his followers, and that they had rehelled, and declared they would vote with the govern: ment; that they held an informal cau- cus, and had selected the member for South Brant to lead them in the "break." Every statement in the re port is absolutely baseless, is nothing loss than a malicious invention. Mr. Ross did not advise with his followers «n the power bill; none, save possibly Hon. R. Harcourt, knew the attitude he had in view; none protested, nor said 'they would not vote with the opposing side; no caucus, informal - or otherwise, was 'held; no member spoke to the member for South Brant, on the bill, prior to his speech; and ev- as mutineers (save Mr. Smith, of the S800, who had been abeent all week), and could not have been involved, de- nied emphatically any feeling or con. sultation. Surely the chief of the News inust be heartily ashameq of the acts of his staff, ' Ingratitude Of The People. The Telegram comments upon the absence of headship in the Toronto city couneil, and reasons that it does not pay one to bugy himself in 'the people's interest. The ideal alderman conducts the public business as he does his own. He looks at every ques tion in a critical way. He acts upon it according his judgment. He brooks no quairel with any ome, but he wants the men with whom he comes in contact to understand that he has | no desire to shirk anything because it to may displease some one, The ideal public servant is not ap- preciated in Toronto, The Telegram realizes this when it calls up the name of F. S. Spence. Here was the ablest fman, outside of Mr. Urquhart, who has been in the civie government for many a year. It is a question if Mr. Urquhart has his superior, There are some who think Mr. Spence had not tan equal, at least during the time he {was an alderman and controller: But "Mr. Spence's labors and sacrifices did not count for much when he became a candidate for higher honors. Toronto is a comservative city, and the last for a member to go to court, thongh election was made a political one. Mr. Coatsworth became a candidate, with no plea, save that he was 5 member of the machine and, that it should elect him, And it did. | The result is apparent. There is a head of the council, but what does he amount te ? His greatest concern is to appropriate all. the salary possible during the year, and in a grab of 81,- 500 gore than any one has ever before enjoyed, "But," says the Telegram, "a i ite folly at the polls in Janu- ary, and to yeap the rewards of wis- dom at ile eity hall during the rest of the year." The average alderman ruminates upon the fate of Mr. Spence and observes: "The strongest and most useful servant of the people in civic politics "was overwhelmingly turned. down in favour of Emerson Coatsworth, and still you talk about the people appreciating good work." Perhaps the people of Toronto have léarned gq lesson by their experience, Perhaps they will kéep polities out of municipal affairs. If they do the Coatsworth he without its advantaged, Good And Evil Of It. There are sides ta every ques- tion, even , that concerning meat- packing. No one seemingly could make out a clearer case than J. Og- den Armour, who, in successive num- hers of the Saturday Post, outlined what he and his associates had ac- complished for the good of the world. Mr. Armour is not the founder. of the will not meat packing business bearing 'his name, but the son of this founder, the great Phil Armour. He has caught the spirit of his distinouished predecessor, and has added to his entérprises, The meat 'packers have been, in a sense, benefactors of their race. They have by experiments, conducted by experts of the highest character, found ways through 'which to turn the for- mer waste of the shambles to good account, and from their laboratories have issued some of the rarest dis- coveries known in chemistry. The im- pelling motive was the profit of the business. Incidentally the world re ceives "a blessing. But the packers' story is not the only ome. Their critics have bein turning the Hmelight on the houses and startling are some of the revela tions. Herman Hirschauer, of James- town, for instance, in his expose of the beef trust, charges that the pack- ers are puting up goods that are un- fit to eat, that some meat is not wholesoine, that it has not been con- sidered as it should be, with regard to the age, the health and condition of the animal. Still more are the assaults of the upon the packers. The trust controls practically the refrigerator cars, and their tariff must be paid. They profit by the engagements of the trade railways whether in #he fruit or meat business. The char~es are shameful. The item of ice represents | two and three times the value of the { article.

SIDE LIGHTS SHED. The Precious North, and We Are Its Heirs. The Khan, in Hamilton Herald. Ten years ago 1 wrote some verses, bragging about Canada as usual, and, as usual, without an audience. One of the verses ran something like this : "Up in the North where the come forth And the hemlocks shed their balm, By the God who made it, 1 wouldn't trade it For the whole of Alabam !'" 1 was laughed at, not because poetry was rotten, but because idea was wildly extravagant. "You ought to know," said one edi- tor, sadly, "that North Ontario is a good place _to go for a month to fish and hunt, but God'lmighty never in- tended it for anything else but a game preserve. You're a little too enthusiastic about the future of Can- ada. If you would go and live in Alabama vou could sing better songs about it, and it would gather in more simoleons. Adieu, my misguided young friend, I wish you every pros- perity--and a little better ,judgment." After the passing of one decade I repeat 'that 1 wouldn't trade Northern Ontario for the whole southern states, now, then !
