It may only be necessary for the Conservative machine in the county to palin was ol the field with its tag in ¢ to secure his election, the press announces. It is that sort of thing and talk, however, which arouses the people and sooner or later as brings about a surprise. The nomin- tion of Mr. Gallagher is not satisfac- tory--to the conservative party. That fact has already been demonstrated by the action of Dr. Spankie, who was urged to contest the election, servatives who by con- the machine. revolted against manipulations of the said The way to produce more than a split is to keep on 'a that they do not want and will not have. It may be that the time for revolt has already arrived. Dr. Spankie had the promised back- ing of the anti-Gallagher element and it ie alleged to be pretty strong in PMontenac. These men expected the independent liberals to assist them in ridding the county of a political proach. Why should they not assist the liberals to the same end now that Dr. Spankie has retired from the cam- paign ? The independents made a Whitney government possible in 1904, and the premier commended the move. forcing men wpon free and independent electorate.' re- ment and said it suggested the ethics of England which he extolled. The in- dependence of any man has for its ob- ject the emphasizing of a doctrine or principle, Dr. Spankie became a can- didate only on the understanding that he would be supported by certain in- dependent liberals and conservatives and left the field when a liberal ap peared. The disaffected conservatives remain, and if thew assert themselves, as they can, the defeat of Mr. Gal. lagher will be sealed. There were some misgivings with re- gard to tha Spankie candidature--on the conservative side that he would do more than correct #he defects or de ficiencies of the education department; on the liberal - side that the govern- ment would, sooner or later, put on the screws and see that the holder of a government office met the govern. ment's views. The liberal candidate is the result of a decision to make the protest against the Whitney gov- ernment both strong and efigetive.

N. RAILWAY DEAL. Mr. MacKay on First Mortgage-- Blunder of Government. Torento Globe. No one who reads A, G. MacK; ay's sixth letter to the electors of Ontario will have the slightest doubt that for some reason the Whitney government resorted to sharp practice in order to secure the consent of the legisktive assenbly the proposal to « add $2,500,000 to. the liability which the province had already incurred on ac count of the Canadian Northern Rail- way company. Theugh the govern ment had long before determined to grant this additional aid, the hill em- bodying the proposal was not intro- duced tijl Thursday evening of the ast week of the session, and then it was not printed. It was read twice oy, the same day without members havi ing had an opporthnity to its text and note its provisions. The explana tions given to the assembly wore mis leading, and were apparently intended to mislead. The additional amount was given as $1,500,000 instead of $2,500,000. The first mortgage wns alleged to be defective when it was perfectly correct and walid. Mr. MacKay, who has taken the ut most eare to collect the facts and fix the dates, shows incontrovertibly that the government's allegation about the defectiveness of the first mortgage is unwarranted. The mortgage was drawn in 1906 for the present govern- ment, and it was drawn in harmony with the provisions of the statute of 1904 which authorized the original guarantee. The Ross government must be held entirely responsible for the statute, but not for the mortgage; if there is any defect in it the Whitney government must alone bear the blame. On the question whether the first mortgage covers the terminals in Toronto, Mr. MacKay speaks without a particle of hesitation. He ealls at- tention to the fact that the first guar- antee and mortgage covered the whole line "from its terminus in the city of Toronto to or near the town of Sud- bury," that the plans of the road were approved and filed two vears be fore the mortgage was taken, and that these plans showed .the road run: ning through Toronto and having its terminus at the Union station. Obvi ously, therefore, the first mortgage covered everything between the Union station and Sudbury, except certain property at Barnsdale, Muskoka, which is specified in the mortgage to see Whitney's Fraudulent Claim. Hamilton Times, 'he Toronto some years ago News complains that the salaries pail to Canadian teachers were exevedimly low, and it seeks to make for Whit ney the claim that he has increased the teachers' remugeration. The claim is frandulent. Tha one measure by which Whitney attenpted to increase teachers' salaries the insulting bill intended to school trustees, before Mr. Whitney, salaries, "the be class of teachers had been dr o the schools of the Canadian West, where better salaries were paid or to commercial life, where higher monetary rewards are offered." Every teacher in Ontario knows that to this western movement and to the peneral increase in wages in all lines of industry, any increase the teachers have obtained is due. To the western movement of the teachers and not to Whitney, . salaries to be credited. There are more unqualified teachers in our schools to-day, under Whitney, than "ever hefore, | Panama Hats.

Py.S Council. Toromto In the oe an government to give men in possession of the La claims they forget that these men had a lawsuit under appeal for an almost equally formidable sum, lawsuit that the government terested in settling. The claim of the La Rose people exte over the railway right of way, they assumed the railway com. mission had a surface right enly. On this assumption they followed their vein and mined a large quantity of ore under the railway mution. The railway commission claimed this ore, and the lessees of the right-of-way mining rights entered an action to secure its value from the La Rose company. They won in the lower courts, but the case is on its way to the privy council. This raises a seri. ons complication, If the La Rose company should win, and thus be de- clared owners of the minerals under the right-of-wav, it will virtually he'a decision that the railway commission, acting for thé government, disposed of what they did not own. The lessees of the right-of-way, if deprived of their claim by an adverse decision, will have a moral claim against the rail- way commission. If the La claim is valid where it includes the right-of-way, those who purchase the minerals in this part of the claim rom. the railway commission have ga clear right to compensation. The government, already of claim-jumping, eannot afford to profit by the sale of a bogus claim It was clearly in the public interest to improve the occasion presented hy the a Rose claim for $130,000 and settle the difference that is virtually be tween the company and the govern ment regarding the minerals' in the right-of-way.
