The conservatives under Mr. Whit ney, have not been verifying some of the promises they made to the elec: ors Here are some of the planks from the party platiorm before and during the last election : Lessened expenditure, Reduction of the number of cabinet ministers, Abolition of taxes on financial cor- porations. Reduction of one-half. Two-cent-a-mile passenger rate én the railways of New Ontario. Adoption of the Pettypiece plan of railway taxation. Requiring al) convict-made goods to be labelled such, At a late banquet Mr. Whitney swelled with pride, visibly, as he con. templated the wonderful things he had accomplished. The opposition, he said, he had nothing to complain of, nothing to criticise, No ? Well when he appeals to the people he will hear more upon this subject, and fo his manifest disadvantage, 2 aT --, EATING THEIR OWN WORDS. The inconsistency of the loyal op- position is Passing strange. The French treaty has been under con- sideration for some time, and the op- position has, through several speak- ers, attempted to show that it was not for the advantage of Canada. But a funny thing happened when the treaty was. voted on in the house. The yeas numbered: 108 and the nays only 5, and among those expressing satisfaction were Nr. Monk, the de- posed tory leader for Quebec, and My, Cockshutt, who some days ago shout- ed his disapproval, aye his condemna- sion, of the government. Both gentle- men astonished the house by practi- cally repudiating their own argu- ments, by giving a hearty concurrence to that which they had so unmer- cifully criticized. When it came to the last they refused to be put on record as objecting 10 a French treaty which bad heen negotiated by a French member: of the government.

He did not abandon the fight for active life when wounded in the South Afri- can war, but, deprived of his sight, resumed his studies in Queen's, and in due time graduated. He has had an ambition to get the inspiration o] the course in Oxford, and has gone to the classic halls of this great university the suceession duties No. CEW RICE ®) i" Svan glimpses of nature that fill but, like Holen Keller, in the belief that Providence will open up the way for his financial needs. Some of his Canadian friends, head- ed by Chancellor Fleming, of Queen's, have undertaken to raise the funds which are necessary to keep Mulloy to the end of his college course, and they should have ne difficulty in rea- lizing the aim they have before them. If any man should command popular Support it is the one who has suf- fered on account of his patriotism. Mulloy's case appeals to every true Canadian, and the common desire jg to see him, through a superior educa- tion, secure the success towards which he is laboring with a rare and ad- mirable devotion. He does not get any more the the soul with delight; he has the light within that glorifies, and it is hoped that, like her, he may be able to navigate life's bark "as certain of reaching the haven as he who steers by the north star." Mulloy's friends in Queen's and in the city will follow his career with the deepest interest and they will ye. joice when his ambition in going to Usford has been gratified.

The mention of this idea suggests this comment in the Witness : "We should be glad if we could, by any stretch of imagination, conceive of a more effici- ent administration from the men who are now the acknowledged leaders of the conservative party."
