Ruarantee, if not at the Rossin house, at some othet convenient spot.--Ham- ilton Spectator, A western paper (not the Spectator) started the story that Mr. Pense and Mr. MacKay had a talk over the at- titude of the opposition on the C.N.R. the Rossin house, and the matter went unchallenged for days during the extended absence of Mr. Pense from the province. As soon as his attention was called to the .mat- ter he gave it an emphatic contradic tion. He had not, he said, discussed the guarantee with Mr: MacKay in the Rossin hotise, or "any other place. That statement the Spectator shopld accept, in the high jeurnalistic, spirit which it much appreciates. Tt should as. readily receive rorrection in this matter, as the Whig accepted cor- rection on the Hendrie patronage gpes- tion. guarantee, in so The liberal candidate is not likely to suffer by the personal abuse of his opponent or his organ. Let it be re- membered that in the several elections which he has contested, My, Pense has one slanderous word his opponents. Whatever the result of the campaign his policy will not uttered about not be changed. JOLLYING THE LABOUR PARTY. When Mr. Hanna was in Kineston he made the lamest kind of a defence of the prison labour system, and es pecially of the contract he Wad enter- od into with a Toronto firm for the sale of convict labour at three bents per hour. "Incidentally, during his talk, he said that the labour men approved of the policy of the Nothing could be further In 1906 the manufac- turers sent a deputation to. the gov- protest (and in vain), against the revival of the contract sydtem, after its abolition for seven- teen years. The labour party dent a deputation to the government to 'offer its objections, and the Tri- bune, ita official organ, put this, among other thinvs, on record : "So far as the labor delegation was concerned, they came away convinced that nothing will be done by the gov: ernment to cancel this agreement. The only satisfaction they received was that they had Avain placed a standing protest an behalf of orean- izod labor against placing the labor of convicts in the open market against honest and free labor, and to prevent Mr. Hamna, or. anv other member of this government, from again making use of the assertion that no objection bad heen recived from the unions against this most unfair kind of com- petition. This committee is now con- firmed ih. the belief, which has been growing for some time, that the pre- sent government is in no way friendly, to labor, and no relief need be looked for from the Whitney government." Is that not definite enough ? Tg there any word here which could jus- tify the conclusion that the labouy men approved of the prison labour contract system ?. On the contrary is there not the evidence that Mr. had government from the truth. ernment to also Hanna, a% usual, has been trying to jolly and humbug the people ? Mr. Crothers, of St. Thomas, is bidding for new honors by announc- ing, on' the authority of the premier, that school books will be published by the government and given away ! Strange that Mr. Whitney does not make any these announcements himself. of # I ---------- ---------- ROUGH -HOUSE WAY. "The liberal majority in the House of Commons, at the instance of the Laurier government," says the Mont. real Gazette, "rejected an amendment declaring that appointments to the civil 'service of Canada should be based upon merit and character alone, and should be regulated by competi. tive examination under a non'partizay, commission." Now, is that not a rough-house way of stating the case? Mr. Foster, for pure cussedness. in or der to block the business of the house in order to prevent the passage of supplies so that the members of the civil servies Gould gel their monthly salaries--brought = down a motion on civil service reform. "He aid this on the very day on which the Civil Ser vice bill was to hove been intro. dueed by Hon. Mr. Fisher, and < his absence from the house. was caused by the death of a friend. : A summary of the bill has been pub lished, and is. provision, it seams, for a reclassification of the civil servants, fod prowtlions accord- THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1908. -------- amenable to parliament only for its work. : It is assumed that the government will have something «till to say about appointments, since there is provision for the engagement of technical ex- perts or specialists who may be res commended by the heads of depart tents, and with the concurrence of the commission. The government has ng power to override the commission, however, and, so far as the bill indi- cates. they are to be supreme. The outside service may later be brought under the same law and conditions. It is hoped it will, and the publié ser- vice everywhere become at once hon- orable and dignified and free from all reproach. The point is that while all this is being aimed at by the government My. Foster should be engaged in mov- ing want of confidence resolutions (as a means of obstruction), and that hee party press should allege that the government is opposed to civil service reform because it disapproves of Mr: Foster's nonsense. The Mail and Empire calls for the resignation of Mr. Macdonald, of the Globe, because he dare criticize the general policy and short-comings of the Whitney government. The pre- mier had better dismiss this hireling of the government ! ; A -------------- WHAT DID GALLAGHER DO? The electors (of the county have reason to be thoroughly dissastisfied with the educational policy of the Whitney government. The idea of mak- ing the salaries of the rural school teachers depend upon the assessment of the school section was unjust, and s0 the school trustees protested against it. The theory was that the education department was desirous of raising the salaries of the teachers-- which was laudable ¢nough--but the liberals argued that worth, experi- ence and qualification could be recoy- nized by the government giving an extra grant to the schools in which such teachers ara employed. / The law as passed was not only an imposition upon the school sections, but it was arbitrary in the extreme, in that it applied to the rural scheols to schools in villages, towns and cities. What have the far mers done that they should be wingled out for this discrimination ? Js faith- ful support. to rewarded in this way ? What did Mr, Gallagher do to only and not be change it ? At the convention which nominaf®d him. he pleaded that he had "kicked," but in vain, and Dr, Spankie, who followed him, said that if he held - a seat in the legislature, he would not be ignored, and .his voice would mot be silent, when there' there was so much cause for it to be heard. It is the order of the day to call members who allowed ob There is some excuse or apology for the liber down the HOXious Ineasures to pass. als, who were not taken into the con- fidence of the government, but there is no excuse for the men who sit in cau- consent, Mr. Gallagher must have done, to the law which proposed to make the rural school trusiees so many tax- gatherers, with- out any right to pass upon the sal the should be raised and paid. -------- What is the use of blaming federal government for sending many helpless people to Canada.

Hence forth there would be no personalities in public Sinsusiiegs: Un no account would there be a lapse from grace, Some men might suggest roughness, they might even threaten, these lov. ers of coarsp abuse, but the Standard would remain true to its ideals. There were some evidences of rebel- Hon in the party, and some evidences, too, that it was being met in a fam and courageous spirit. Hence the in- terest that centred in the "'announce- ment" of u few days ago. There were certain rumours in circulation, and they were calculated "to weaken the influence of the Standard," and the editor deemed it expedient to say, "briefly, but none 'the less emphati: cally, that he and he alone was re sponsible for the editorial policy 'of Abe paper." Lest there might be any misgivings upon this point, ho added : "This is not a personal organ. It js not a party organ.
