They were not represented at the conference, and that nothing which it did should af- - = & ve oa 'dhnot," said the premier, "ex- pect that conditions which prevail | one country shall in another, and am strongly of the opinion that should leave the question to the gov- eraments concerned, both of the Transvaal and the Orange Free Col- ony." « The sentiment may mot have much to do with the fellowship which ex- ista between the premiers of the Transvaal and of Canada, but it in- dicates a temperament which is char in I it Canadian who says that this ebuntry now holds first place in his affection must sce in each other a great deal to admire and appreciate. HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT. The premier of the province did not improve the situation when he in- sinuated that Mr. Hastings, as license inspector of Toronto, had done great wrong. The retention of this man in the public service, under conservative rule was, said Mr. Whitney, the ini- tial blunder of the government. In what way was not revealed, and for the' very good reason that it could not. When the license scandal was under consideration it was threutened that the history of liberal rule would be opened up and that some shocking disclosures would be made. But, though every cffort was made to find something which would offset the in- famies growing out of the Reense job- bing, it failed, miserably failed, and Mr. Whitney knows it. Still he in- sinuates that there was ground for Mr. Hastings' dismissal. The Toronto News is most friendly to the government, and in the same issue which contained a review of the ances in particular, it said : "There is a suggestion of cowardice in the gowrnment's treatmént of Mr. Hastings. The truth is that Mr. Has- tings was dismissed on demand of the license-broking, ward-heeling element of the conservative party, and not on account of any failure of duty -or of in which his work was performed. This was officially = confessed by. the minister who ordered his dismissal, and it is unfair now to blacken his vice.
