Premier Whitney, the other day, read in the legislature a letter, alleged to be from Ottawa, doubting the local arceptance of the two liberal members for that city. He gave the name of @he writer as William Wright. Now this very modest purveyor of gratui- tous advice was entirely unknown to the members in question, than whom no politicians are in better touch with their constituents. He cannot be an elector of weight, superior intelligence or prominence, or he would be popu: larly known and recognized. Was the premier's shot worth the powder? Was it pot a school-boy performance ? The British ---------- THE REAL MEASURE. ' The premier twitted a liberal mem- ber this week because he had not pre- viously spoken during this session of the legislature. Then the member who had been subjected to the soft im- peachment looked over the houses list and gleaned that twenty-seven of the conservative foree had not spoken this year. The art of speaking is 'not, how- ever, the real measure of a member's service, but his attendance in the house, and in committee, his common sense voles, his attention to the spe- cial requests and desires of his con stituents and his creditable personal bearing while in attendance as a pub- lie representative, TACKLED AND STOPPED, When in the third last day of the session 'of the legislature the govern ment brought down a bill to enable them to hold back elections in New Ontario, liberals were ingensed; and made up their minds to fight till midsummer to prevent .an outrage wp- on electoral lairness. The one-day election has been fought for in the old days year after year, almost de cade after decade. In the even the conservatives thanked their oppon- ents for the result' of the agitation. That this is manifest is clear from the revolt of the conservative mem- hers. They would stand for a gerry- mander, but they told the premier in caucus that they would not tolerate his latest proposal to assist in "dish- ing the grits." And so the proposal was withdrawn when the house next sats It wae not the liberals this time who declared that Mr. Whitney was not hold enough to be honest. COERCION IN POLITICS. According to Lord Hugh Cecil attempt is being made by the tectionist party to coerce the conser- vative members of parliament into an abandonment of their free trade ideas, My lord is an authority for the state- ment that in his case he has been of- fered the alternative of an abandon- ment of his attitude on fiscal ques- to an pro- parliament, and he is anxious, 'as one who has given himself up to political service, to again find a seat in the commons, Will he surrender ? He has some of the spirit of his famous fam- ily, and has had occasion, two or three times, to call his party to ac ecunt. It is quite likely that he will assert his manliness again should the circumstances demand it. Mr. Chamberlain is no, longer able to. lead the protectionist movement, but he has emissaries, and they are doing the work as best they can. He depended on the forcefulness of his cam- paign for success, and he captured the Baliour faction by degrees. He, no doubt, tried his seductive wiles upon the late Duke of Devonshire, but without avail. The duke would not stand for any temporizing on the trade and tariff issue, and when Mr. Balfour began his coquetry he pulled out of the goyernment and took others with him. That the protectionists are becoming desperate in their game is showd by the further fact to which Lord Cecil gives publicity. He says that the coercion that is threatomed in his case is of a piece with that: which is offer- Led or suffered in twenty other cases. So that the conversion of the people rush things, to assume bat the credit of the government or: of the dominion is good enough for anything, and that where there is a will there must be a way of meeting the views of the peo- ple. The anxieties of the western mem- bers are not surprising. They have had 'their experiences, and some of these have their effects. The lacks of transportation facilities one yeapZihreatened to be the ruin of t rmers. The demands of the west were simply beyond the capaci- ties of the railway companies to serve, and there was a grain blockade and consequent crisis since the crop is the only source of income to many, and represents millions of dollars. It was promised that if foresight and enterprise, at any cost, could offer a guarantee against 5 repetition of the thing it would not happen, and yet it is only a short time ago since com- Plaint was made that again the car been depressing in service had fallen short. Hence the clamour of the western members of parliament is quite excus- able, and they are practically of one mind as to the needs of the North- West. Another railway is demanded, and with an outlet at the Hudson's Bay. The practicability of the -scheme is no Jonger questioned. Since the federal government passed an order in-council with gegard to it in 1885, several things have transpired, and one is a demonstration of the fact that the straits are navigable for four months in the year, and that Hud- son's Bay offers the shortest and most direct route to the markets of Europe, The question of transcendent im- portance is that of cost. Here is a scheme which involves millions of dol- lars. Where is the money to come from ? Mr. Sifton says the land, the sale of which means time- Others are less specific. They don't intimate what they think on this point. They scem to feel that parliament has only to decids upon the work and the rest will follow as a matter of course. Big projects and big talk are the order of the day, but there must he reason with all things In time the new Transcontinental line will be built, and the Hudson's Bay line, and the Georgian Bay canal, all necessary in order "40 contribute to the rapid development of - the newer provinces. The regources of the eountry are be- ing taxed to the utmost meanwhile, however, and the western members must be patient. SPECTACULAR IN POLITICS. The proposal of the Hamilton con- servatives--that the premiers of Brit ish Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brumswick should tour Ontario and Quebec--as a stellar attraction is warmly applauded. The Ottawa Citizen regards the suggestion with special favour. In thé course of events, it says, Mr. Borden must, as premier of Canada, find colleagues among the men who have developed strength in the provinces. It is well, too, that the people should see and hear them in advance. To be sure, It would not harm the liberal cause if they were put on exhibition and duly advertised. , Mr. MeBride would be interesting.as the: man -who attended .the provincial confekence on the subsidy question, who kicked over the traces, who went to England to lay his grievance be fore ihe imperial government, and who is fanning the fires of racial bi- gotry with his hot air on Asiatic emi- gration. Mr. Whitney would, especial ly,"in Quebec, be a great curiosity, as the man with the big stick, who is, according to the new phrase, coward- ly enough to be dishonest and dis- honest enough to be cowardly. Nr. Roblin could be announced as the hero of the thin, red line on the vot- ers' lists, the man whose success in elections depends upon the wholesale disfranchisement of the liberal voters. Mr. Hazen would havé to be a small- er light, as the baby premier, and the believer in coalition governments and the disbeliever in federal interference in provincial affairs. Generally the tour would give pro- minence to two things. First, it would offer the evidence of another political heresy on the part of = the conservative party, and to the effect that miniglery should be found in the bhouse they have had experi- ence. Sir Wilirid Laurier was found st -------------- EDITORIAL NOTES, Canada is "pot assisting the unde- sirable emigrants who is doing it ?

'A venerable patriarch of the Angli- can church clergy passed away at Guelph, on Friday, in the person of Canon Baker. Ordained in Phila- delphia, in 1853, the late canon spent fifty-five years iin: the service of the Lord. His first charge was 'ia the county of Renfrew. During his long life Canon Beker had charge of a large number of parishes in different parts of the country, until about ten vears ago, when, with increasing age, he was unable to continue his duties, he resigned from Bath, and, with his wife, left; to spend the remaining days with his sons, who now conduct a well-known stock farm in PuMlinch. Besides these two sons, Edward and Sidney, 'he is survived by his 'aged wife, "and three othof sons, Massey, of Lindsay; F. K. Baker, of this ¢ity, and Charles, of Mcleod, Alta., and one daughter, Mrs: Roberts, of Brantford. Bytown, now Ottawa, was the hirth- place of the late canon, and there he spent his boyhood. His father was the late Col. Baker, of the British army, who was given the appointment of postmaster of Bytown by the Brit- ish government. The married life of the late canon and his beloved wife, has been an un- usually long and a particularly bap- py one, and it is only a few months ago that the family was happily reun- ited to mark the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day Koepenicked.

Buffalo, April 11.--Judge Taylor, yesterday, in county court, decided that Mrs. Alice R.

Berlin, April 11.--Prof. Hauser, of the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, claims to have discovered a painting by Rembrandt underneath a picture which had been sent to him for re storation by Humphrey Ward, hus band of the novelist. The portrait is that of an ugly man in reverie, Mr Ward paid 81,000 for the picture in London. Prof. Hauser says ft is worth 825,000, andin this he is sup- ported by experts. The Lokal Anzeiger states that Herr Koppel, the financier, Kas bought the picture, paying for it the sum of 831. 250.
