A commissioner, chosen by ithe government, because he was favorable to it, took evidence, land 'made a report. Mr. Whitney gave out that the registrar was guil- 'ty of the charges preferred against Jhim, and dismissed him. The defence is that the registrar is an innocent man, and a public meet- ing, in' passing on the case, reports: "If the commissioner, as stated by It turns out that the council, in 1905, was complaining about overlap- ping in the work of the schools, and so facilitated the action of the public 2 | schoor board respecting the fifth class. tion only strengthens the opinion that the dismissal of Mr. Whelihan was in fulfilment of threats made by promin- ent conservatives in the evening of the election, and boasted on in certain of the press of the riding." The offence which Mr. Whelihan is al- leged to have committed is not that he acted in a partizan way, that he forgot his public place and duty, and became politically obnoxious. If he were an active politician though an office-holder the treatment he has re- ceived would not be surprising. But he is declared to be a model official, and his removal was based on a statement which seriously reflects upon his in- tegrity. His redress, therefore, 'does not lie in an appeal to the federal government to retaliate, and commit an outrage on the plea that one wrong invites another, The registrar is said to have been grossly slandered, first by the men who fibbed about him, and then the men who pronounced this fibbing truth. Tf the testimony of credible witnesses at the hearing was deliber- ately set aside and a decision given which impeached a man's honesty he surely has a remedy in law and should The commons having - censured Mr. Cing-Mars because he called Mr. Foster a "Kar and a hypoer t," Mr. Bennett proceeds to refer to a public official as one "who told a deliberate false hood." He ought to have been sent to the bar of the house and censured also, It is not a justification of the cow- ardly charges of some consorvatives that Sir John Thompson once said a membér did not forfeit his seat by failing to make good his allegations. Knowing that they would not suffer banishment the wonder grows that some men can only deal in insinua- tions, -~ MARINE INTELLIGENCE. What is Going on About the Harbor.

The Whig of October. 31st, 1855, tells of :a fast trip from Kingston to Mon- treal, made by the new steamer Ban- shee (October 26th.) The Banshee loft Kingston at 4:25 a.m., with passen- gers and freight, made stops at Gan- anoque, Brockville, Prescott, Matilda, Morrisburg, Cornwall and Coteau du Lac, and reached Montreal at 5:35 p.m., or in thirteen hours and ten minutes. That was well considered a fast trip by the Whig editor of fifty years ago. The present steamers take between twelve and twelve and a hali hours to cover the distance, and make perhaps three or four more stops. of the general welfare a moderate percentage of the people's money."

NEW AND EVIL ERA IN ADMINISTRATION OF ON- TARIO AFFAIRS. Im------ The Spoils System in Its Most Offensive Form--The Dismissal of Registrar Brown of East Northumberland -- A Near Ré- lation'of Dr. Willoughly Ap- pointed. Colborne Enterprise. The dismissal of Lieut.-Col. Brown from the registrarship of this riding, for autocratic czar-like methods, for deliberate disregard of fairness and propriety and for utter contempt of public opinion is unique in Canadian politics, and marks a new and evil era in the administration of our ai- fairs. Col. Brown's removal had been threatened for many months, but as the office was most efficiently man- ag' and he had hecome a very po- pular officer in the absence of any reasonable ground for dismissing, the public had come to think the matter would likely rest. This belief was for- feited by the premier's distinct state- ment, from his place in the house, that except in the case of holders of minor offices no official would be dis- missed without a fair investigation affording an opportunity for defence. It will be remembered that this was in reply. to an attempt by Dr. Wil loughby and some others to introduce the spoils system in its most offensive form and when the premier practically told him. if he didn't like it, his re- signation would be accepted. In addi- tion to this it was undesstood on very good ground that Mr. Whitney stated over ~ his own signature that Col. Brown would not be dismissed with- out a formal investigation, affording a chance for defence not denied in trivial cases. But Dr. Willoughby wanted the office and he wanted it very badly and as it now appears, for a very near relative. These considera- tions 'were so forceful and so domin- ating that they controlled him, and Mr. Whitney despite the declaration and pledges given. It remains to be seen whether op" not self-respecting citizens will condone such violation of pledges and disregard of promises. I Dr. Willoughby's groom is charg- ed with the infraction of a municipal by-law he, in the spirit of British jus tice, demands a fair trial and right to make defence. But in the tase of a very responsible office the same Dir. Willoughby procures a dismissal bra- tal in its curtness and unfair as il is curt. The correspondence justifies this view. Last November the charge was partizanship but the case alleged scemed too transparent. This it is un- derstood developed a lot of talk and criticism that the gentle doctor did not like and did not want repeated. Then lately charges of an extraor- dinary character were preferred. The one going back over cight years ago affords evidence of the = desperate straits to which they were reduced. Those at all conversant with the facts know that even as to the back num- ber charge the colonel's explicit de- nial is abundantly supported by the facts, : As to the second charge in the ab- sence of the most conclusive testi- mony-there is not tha first tittle of evidence--everyone without hesitation will accept the colonel's denial. The lack of refinement and disingen- uousness of having their case grow out of the business operations of a man whose lips are sealed in death will not pass unnoticed. As to the third charge the colonel's simple denial will be readily accepted until further evidence is adduced. On June Ist a charge is made presum- ably by Arthur Gordon Willoughby that a year or so before a request was made of him by Col. Brown, which the colonel denies having made, Within a week after this thé colonel is dismissed and Arthur Gordon Wil- loughby is appointed -his successor as the result of Arthur Gordon's unsup- ported statement. An epitome of the case seems to be on the one side three shallow and peculiar charges that seem incredible and preposterous; on * the other side lat explicit statements denying every allegation specitically in the whole and in part. If the government had evidence justify their course and had given Col. Brown a chance to answer - it and he failed their position would have been defensible. But failing to do this the public will believe and will have a right to believe that they were unable to establish any case agaist the colonel and in order to get for one of their number though without port- folio a coveted office with large emo- lument for his own very near' relation they were willing to ignore precedent, to Of Col. Brown it may he said tion of the profession, the public and the department. He to-day enjoys the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens as he never did before. In military circles he enjoys, by merit, a most enviable position. He fetires from the office without a stain or blemish upon himself or bis reputgtion and in high esteem of his fellowYeiti- zens at home and in equally high es- teem by his military * chums from South Africa to the remdtest part of the dominion. hap filled the office to the entire satisfac.
