In the legislature last session, M. B. Morrison, M.P.P., of West Hastings, proclaimed in his one short epeech that there was no virtue in fighting elections if the party didn't get the offices ! His policy is a sacesss. Tle has been appointed sheriff of the county. ------------ A REASON FOR RUSH. There may be some reason for a de- sire to get the local election over as soon as . possible, It is feared that scandals are brewing, and that soon er or later there will be an" explosion and the good name and record in which some men 'have been trading will be gone forever. There is as suredly something - under cover in connection with the Cobalt business. The provincial treasuger and kis allies refused to Jet the probe go op in the Public Accounts committee, on the ground that actions were in court and that the parti of them could not be discussed. t the lid cannot be kept on murh longer. The Guelph Mercury has heen looking into one case, and finds it by no means credit- able to the Whitney government. There was a dispute between two com- panies over the title 'to a certain mining property. The government elected to give the title to one of the disputants on condition that a royalty of twentydive per cent. should be given to the provincial treasury. The other party had to he pacified in some way, and at the very ciuse of the session a grant ofl about $30,000 was made to jt, the $30,000 for ex- penses, and the $100,000 in payment for information furnished. to the gov- ernment, which made the twenty-five per cent, royalty possible. It hap- pens that one member of the syndi- cate which gets this large sum js «a brother-in-law of. the . minister ; of lands and mines. Tt will be bard to get the public to believe . that nepo- tism had not as much to do with the grant as the value of the information had. CANADA'S CHECK REIN.

It is one thing to alter electoral boundaries, and by the changes indicate how the government want the people to vote, and it is 18 aimed at. In the days when g con- servative government réigned at Ot- tawa, and an attempt was made to manipulate the electors by an iniqui- tous bill, there was an experience which may be repeated. The designs of the government were frustrated, and in & way which has not been for- Eotten, ---------- POINTER TO YOUNG MEN. The man who knows is the man who is in demand nowadays. He is peculiarly constituted. He is not sa- tisfied with any employment which he does not understand. Mr. Sliter, of the Collegiate Institute, illustrated this idea beautifully in his Sunday al- ternoon address before the Young Men's Club of the Queen street Metho- dist church, The talk was on the ancient Greeks, who flourished three and four hundred years before Christ. Mr. Sliter was describing their characteristics, and he remarked that if one of these Greeks were acting as a motorman he would not be satisfied with knowing how to turn the lever and so direct the power that took the car around its circuit, He would want to know all about electricity, and in becoming master of the situation would quickly qualify himself for advanced service. Or if an early Greek were employed in a grocery store where prunes were for sale he would not be satisfied with identifying the article and knowing' its value, He would-know where prunes came from, what fruit they represent- ed, how they were grown and how they were cured. Incidentally Mr, Sliter pointed how this large and qualifying informa- tion was to be acquired. By the study, the exercise of the spirit of research, the investigation which meant great activity of mind and body. This made for health and usefulness, Yes, it is the man who knows who is going ahead and the commercial and financial papers, Success, System and other 'magazines, tell how young men of studious manner are climbing the ladder of fame and fortune. If there are failures in life they can he largely accounted for.
