He deserves a long rest, for really his is: the best illustration af the strenu- g ifo which he constantly advo A White House and its offices, that his demands inwolve sn expenditure of $100,000 more than his predecessor re- quired, and that $25,000 a year have is, not personally lin- Ible for the gm of the public busi: | ness and! public" expenditure, and if the office he holds calls for layer out lays he shows the need of it by his Irs 3 it t for the constant li president.

Strong constitution as hb' has, there in a limit to human endurance, and he seems to have passed the limit. It would be' a pity were he to collapse fromy nervous prostration, but it is the penalty always of overwork and worry, and at this juncture it would ond his usefulness. Ho cannot be spat- ed yet a while. Ere his term ends a qualified successor may be found, but he ie not now in sight. New Educational Nlovement, It is time that an effort were made to improve the Continuation classes. When they wore organized some Years ago, under Jogislation which was very much approved, it was not deemed prudent that the expense would be incurred of having them taught by high class teachers. Many of ' the above schools had as their teachers men that they should may be some first and | alleged that the majority of tench been looked for, Continuation classes carries with i things will not be permitted to that a regulation who rendered good service, and with. out a trial it was not considered wise be replaced or set aside, \ Hence it is that few of the Gon- Ainvation classes, which aim to do modified high school work, are man- ned hy duly qualified teachers. There second class certificates among them, but it is ers in these classes hald third class certificates, and they have not heen able to reach the results which have The appointment of an inspector of the meaning that the old | order of hold very much longer, It is safo to infer will shortly issue and to the effect that the teacher of {a Continuation class shall possess at least fiest class certificates.

The Preston case has been again immigration commissioner. Mr. Pres- ton is a man of great energy, and before the parliamentary committer, | when the North Atlantic Trading case was under consideration, he cariied himsell with some dignity, some com posure, and some offensiveness, Per- haps he showed his contempt for the opposition h little too much, and he will not be forgiven for that. The attack on Preston is accentua- ted by the attitude of the labour unions. They have been ld to, be- lieve that he had something to do with the bureau which sent skillad mechanics: to Canada when they wero not wanted. He has denied the charge. Still it is pressed by Jury, an associate in the immigration of- fice, and because of references in cor- respondence with the agent of a steam- ship company which is subject to a variable interpretation. The government is evidently dispos- ed to look deeper into the immigra- tion office troubles, to get at all the facts, and to take such a course as will end the scandals. It could not do otherwise than reject the Monk re- solutign, because it was suggested by political animus, and should not be regarded as the mind or feeling of the labour unions. The enquiry will he true to all concerned. The Whig has already expressed it- self preity freely regarding the Pres- ton-Jury quarrel. It should have been suppressed at the outset. The cause they represented was suffering because of this squabble, and it will suffer still more, for the disputants are still talking, and to the injury of each other, Wisdom and prudence and pub- 'lie policy may require a change' in 'the officials all' around, " Lave Of National Colors. The Whig does not regret that British sentiment asserted itself, some. what unexpectedly, in one of our churches on Sunday and that the so- called emblem of liberty was remdved from the conspicuous place which it temporarily occupied. There are some people who can re- gard the national colours with more or less indifference. They are not con- cerned about the place the Union Jack or British standard holds in conjunct: ton or contrast with the Stars and Stripes. It is all a matter of educa- tion. Thank the Lord there are others who see in the flags of the mation the emblems of true liberty, -the prestige of the greatest empire in the world, the power which cannct be ignored or de- fied, the protection which every loyal son may have when encompassed by its folds. : 5 The national holiday moves the loyalist to an expression of his devo- tion, and he is seriously disturbed when there is thrown across bis vis- jon that which suggests the flights of fancy in which the average American indulges. The peaceful meditation of the native Canadian is not possible in the presence of display of foreign there was on this particular Sunday in Kingston. Some fault has been found because the British Jag has not fared well dur- ing American rejoicings in neighborin cities, It may be that it was a much out of place as the Stars and Stripes are in Canada during the cele- brations of a purely national anniver- - | sary. At all events it is well tha there is something occasionally to stir Cana: dians from their lethargy, and make them exhibit a becoming pride in their country, its colours and its cus- ¢ | toms. They are becoming really sane on a subject of the greatest impor: tance. + Editorial Notes.

Pays Fine of Twenty-Five Dollars © for Every , Bout---Discoverer of the Klondike Gold Field Has Special Permit to Buy Whiskey. ; Vancouver, B.C., July 5.--Probably unique in the British empire is 'the case of = Tagish Charley, the Indian who first found gold on the Klondike creeks and reported his discovery to white men. Charley is a wealthy mun, and is permitted to enjoy his affluence in a manner forbidden in Canada to all others of his race. In consideration of the valuable services he rendered the country in discovering gold, and also in consideration of five thousand dollars in cash, the Dominion govern- ment granted him the privilege of drinking intoxicants, so that he is exempt from the law prohibiting In- dians taking whiskey, This privilege is resulting in the Canadian treasury obtaining a good deal more than the ,000 originally paid. Charley gets k nearly every day now, accord- ing t¢ men just down from White Horse, Yukon Territory, and he is re gularly artested and as regularly re- leased on paying a fine of $25. At this rate his fortune, estimated at $100,000, will last him about seven years. He has no extravagant tastes outside his Shookam Jim, his friend and form- er partner in Klondike, sought a like drinking privilege and offered the gov: ernment $10,000, Ho was refused, & fact which benefits Tagish Charley, for Shookum- Jim looks after his fellow- Indian, while 'the latter "fills up," and until he is ripe for police inter- ference, When that occurs Jim leaves Charley to the tender mercies of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, knowing full well that he will have his companion to look after again in a few hours, minus twenty-five dollars. Was Made Too Realistic, Philadelphia, Pa., July 5.--Two col- ored boys who were impersonating chicken thieves for the benefit of come moving picture men along York Yoad, had a bad quarter of an hour yéster- day, with some residents in the siein- ity, who took the make-believe for reality, and visited the supposed cul- prits with condign punishment in 'he shape of sundry cuffs and blows, As a result one of the hoys, Philip Johnson thirteen years old, had one rib brok- en and his scalp lncerated. The picture men, representine a New York company, made a contract with Elihn P. Shirley, on York road. . to use his place as the theatre of tle imaginary raid on the chicken yard. Each with a squawking fowl under hie arm, Johnson and a companion ran down the road from the ostensi- bly plundered chicken house. while the picture men chased them in counter feited rage. The affair was so realistic that some neighbors, in righteous in- dignation, fell upon the luckless boys and pummeled them until they were rescued by the picture men. Danger To Greenwich Observatory London, July 5.--~At the last meet- ing of the council of the Royal As- tronomical Society the following re- solution was unanimously agreed to : "That the council learn with deep con- cern of the danger threatened to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, from the erection of .a large electric gene- rating plant near the observatory, and desire to represent to the ad- miralty at the earliest opportunity their conviction of the paramount im portance of maintaining the integrity and efficiency of Greenwich Observa- tory, which has been adopted as the reference point for the whole world." It was further resolved that a covy of this resolution be forwarded to the first lord of the admiralty. Castro Resumes Presidency. Caracas, Venezuela, July 5. Presi- dent Castro, who rétired from the position of president of Venezuela more than two months ago, to-day resumed the duties of his office, reliev- ing Vice-President Gomez, who had assumod the duties of the president during the latter's retirement, It is understood that Castro did not wish to resume the presidency, but was forced by Gomex, who threatened to call an extra session of the Venezuelan congress in case Casiro should refuse to resume his position. The change was 'not accompanied by any sensa- tional circumstances and there was no interruption in the regular. routine of the various offices, Reopening San Francisco Saloons. San Francisco, Cal., July 5.--The saloons of this city, which survived the earthquake and fire, and were kept closed ever since by order of Mayor Schmitz. with a view of preventing drunkenness and disturbances in the stricken city, were re-opened to-day. They were kept closed yesterday, as it was pot considered safe to allow them to be open during the excitement which usually accompanies the celebra- tion of the Fourth of July. The police authorities have the situation well in hand and there were no serious dis- turbances to-day, although the sx loons were patronized quite liberally. ---------- A Big Showing. ; Gf men's nebby straw sailors, 30c. to 82, at Campbell Bros.', the style centre for men's hats. ------ Rev.
