DAILY BRITISH WH published at 306 30 street, tario, at $6 per fed and Thursday morn- SICK OF THE DICKER, Mr. Nickle's paper says that in his nomination address he announced that he was against the letting or com- tracting of prison labour in competi- tion with free labour. Then he must be against the deal which Mr. Hanna ef- fected in the night, or recess, with Ellen Charlotte Taylor, in accordance with which prison labour is sold at 3c. an hour, Mr. Hanna intimated that the labour party approved of the manner in which the government was proceeding, but he 'casnot get from any source the information or evi- dence that labour is satisfied with the case as it stands. The contract sys- tein was renewed in 1905, after it had heen abolished for seventeen years, and it will go on since the Central prison cannot be removed to the pro- posed farm for four or five years. The conservative candidate does well in getting away from the Hanna slip, es it is very unpopular, but Mr, Nickles paper has not so far had the temerity to state just where it stands upon the subject. The workingman who cooks his meals.on a stove, heated with gas at $1 per 4,000 feet, has mo right to such a favour. Why ? Because he gets iis heat below cost. And the great | kicker against it is--Ald. Nickle, who uses the elgctric power at $1.66 per kilo-watt, which costs the working- man 1.94 per kilo-watt, SALARY AND OBSTRUCTION, In one of the late heated sessions éf the commons, A. K. Macdonald, said: "I submit, that when the head of an organized political party is im receipt of an indemnity almost equal to that of the prime minister he is in honor and in morals bound to exercise some control over the party which follows him. It is not fair, intelligent or reasonable that the leader of a politi- cal party who is in receipt of a salary as such can relieve himself of the obligation to pay some little re- spect for what is the business of mem- bers of parliament here assembled.' This has hurt 'the feelings of the opposition, and its members are talk. ing big things. It is proposed that Mr. Borden decline' to receive the salary provided in the indemnity act, and that fhe party rgise in some other wayr--by an appeal to the party ~such an allowance as will make the leader independent of the government, But that will not relieve the opposi- tion of the epithet, that it is now "ap organized hypocrisy," that My. Bor- den has lost control of it. There has been so much humouring of the sub-leaders, Foster, Fowler, Bennett, Sproule, Taylor, and others, that they have assumed the direction of affairs and Mr. Borden has been On Friday night, Nr. Foster deliberately took the business out of his hands, and ordered ob- struction when Mr. Borden was will: ing to abandon it, pushed aside. Do not be deceived by appearances. In 1878 the Mackenzie government seomed to be strongly entrenched in power--and was defeated, The Whit- ney governmént was supposed to be as strongly entrenched, bat Mr, MacKay pute the outlook very clearly when he "says "There will be some. thing doing for the liberals next Mon- day.' ---------- ANOTHER SCALP IN SIGHT. For aljout the thirtieth time the Whig has been challenged to fight. With every turn of 'the wheel of for: tue--or with every chayge in the pro- prietorship of our contemporary-- some one has assumed the airs of a Goliath of Gath. Again and again he has stepped out in battle array to taunt and curse the liberals and their newspaper allies. Always this mighty warrior made a great exhibition of himself. He was a phenomenon in his profession. He had seen foreign service. - He 'had en- tered into many a combat. Meta phorically speaking, he stamped the hillside beyond, like Goliath of old, brandished his sword and spear, and shouted, in a voice at once loud and terrible, "Give mie a man that we together I" he, Whix su stayed its answer as long as possible, exercising great forbear ance upder provocation, but ft had at its David. forth, vn- pretentiously, with - sling and stone, J and the enemy_was his.

They appear, however, to have spent their time in geteeat binding up theie 'wounds sand | preparing for a new are: thee is « maint there is a sally forth of our stripling, [and the thirtieth forelock or head will decorate the walls of the liberal sano tum, Phe advice of Mr. Whitney when in opposition, is good and should be fol- lowed: when bribery is attempted. "Take the money," said Mr. Whitney in-ffect; "vote as you like, and in- form on the crooks afterwards." The men on whom the road overseer in the county has been operating carmot do better than act on this advice. MODEL SCHOOL WANTED. Is Frontenac going to have a model school this year, or next 7 Mr. Gal- lagher ought to know, and Mr. lagher will be to blame if the model school students have to go to some other county for the education they should get at home, "The policy of the government was to do away with the county model schools, and to make all candidates for go to the Four new normals were projected, in different parts of the province, not where they were most wanted, but where, from a pa- tronage standpoint, they would do the most good. Meanwhile it became evident that the models could not be wholly abolished. It was suggested that fewer of them might do, but that district schools would be necessary. Then came the question, Where should these be lo- cated ? The minister of education--that roystering politician who knows more about the caucus than the school-- had the matter referred to him for action, and it is presumed -that during the campaign he has been getting calls from the '"'educationists," and giving such diplomatic answers as the situation required. A demand from Frontenac should certainly have been made upon the minister, and the conservative party should have done a little pushing on its own account, seeing that Mr. Gal lagher has been so helpless in the past. Kingston, as an educational centre, should have a model school, and a committee of the Board of Education has been deputed to lay the matter before the education department. But it is essentially a county matter, and Mr, Gallagher will be very remiss in his dwty if he does not impress Dr. Pyne with the importance of his con- stituency and its wants. Gal- the teaching profession normal schools. members of parliament," says the Freeman, "grow weaker in political strength, but it is not so with ' Mr. 'Pense, who to-day stands more popular than he did when he made his appearance as a parliamen- tary candidate." Mr. Nickle's paper will please make a note of this, ------------ A LESSON IN FAIR PLAY, From Saskatchewan, one of the new- er provinces, come lessons that our provincial farmers can lay lovingly to heart. It was held in some contempt by the politicians of the older pro- vinces while it is for those neophytes in provincial government te pity the ancient methods of the east. For instance Saskatchewan is having a new election bill, embracing stich provisions as are calculated to give the province pure and honest elections, and the leader of the op position, the veteran Mr, Haultain, actuglly compliments the government, His exact words were: "I think the government has dealt with an im- porfant matter in a broad and effec- tive manner, and I congratulate the attorney-general and accord him all praise for the work he has done. in preparing this act." There is no stick there, obstruction or horse play on the part of the opposition, no waste of words, of time or money. Nor ie the exhibition of candour, of fair-play, of reasonable service with regard to the election bill, the only one of its kind. There is to be a re distribution of seats, necessitated by the increase in the population, and both the government and opposition have concentrated their attention up- on the work. When the matter came up in the legislature a few days ago, the government had a map showing the boundaries and electorate in twen- ty nine constituencies, and the oppo- sition had a map showing the ogtlines and voting power of thirty proposed constituencies. The sides exchanged maps in order that they might be thoroughly and seriously studied. Had Mr. Whitney shown the epposi- tion anything like this consideration in Ontario 'there would not be the feeling there is over the gerrymander "Some one no .

BRIBERY IN THE COUNTY. The boast of Mr. Gallagher, on now- a larger grant than usual this year, and he could have given the reason-- because there is a provincial election and a certain candidate is in need of help, During the Domination pro- ceedings a sensation was sprung. The road overseer--or the party dispenser of patronage--was charged with bri- bery. He had spent the time for which he was paid as a road official piloting - Mr. Gallagher over the voters, in county and in canvassing the with him. A reasonable inference followed--that Mr. Gallagher knew what his man Friday was doing ond was a party to it. What is of more conseguence-- and a scandal of no mean proportions --is the charge that the colonization roads money is being used for corrupt purposes, 'The attempt was made to influence an ex-county councillor by intimating that his support of the con servative candidate meant "a job for the family.'. Mr. Gallagher pleads "not guilty," but he did not deny the charge. since the man who had been approached was present at the meet ing and was not to be trifled with. The Whitney government has claimed credit for its ability to do things because it had lots of money, and the charge that it is being improperly spent is not confined to Frontenac. In New Ontario there are lavish expendi- tures and the minister of mines is per. songlly promising great things to his disgruntled voters in the constituency. The road grants everywhere are cor- rupting in their qualily. The local incident is net without some value as indicating !the scare that is on the conservative party. Mr. Gallagher is sure of re-election--oh, so sure--but he is acting liken man who has very serious doubts about it, He wants a pure election, too, but he will be content that the road mon- ey shall be used in his interest, and it will be remarkable if there is not a row about it, even before election day.
