FOSTER, The Montreal Gazette should realize that the objections to Mr, Foster do not wholly arise with and find ¥éx- , | pression in the liberal press. Its local ontemporary has expressed the opin- ion candidly yet none the less freely, hat Mr. Foster should go into retire- ment until the people can forget about his treatment of Sir MacKenzie Bowell and his performance as a land specu- Iator. . He will not believe otherwise than that the insurance commission projected for no other purpose than for his political destruction. No one besides Mr. Foster believes that, but they are willing to admit that it ex- and. that he was posed" him unmercifully, needs fumigation. Now the Halifax ward to make a few remarks of a very character. M7. Foster has been down in Nova Scotia, and it can only be assumed that the Herald has his performances in mind when it that 'Mr. Borden would greatly strengthen himsblf with the people by relegating Mr. Foster to a the back * benche# of the party." That is plain talk, hand- writing~on, the wall which anyone can read and understand. Herald comes for- personal declares seat in C AMES AND HIS PICTURES. Word comes from Saskatchewan that Mr. Ames, gentleman: politician of Montreal, has failed completely to im- press the pedpléi He wag assigned the alleged timber.scandals 'of the Laurier government, and he indulged in a new departure, the illustration of his ideas with pictures and a magic lantern. He toured the Maritime Provinces, with- result. When the local elections announced in Saskatchewan he was rushed west and began his un- happy pilgrimage there. When the best he could do was draw an audience of half a hundred persons, and invite the ridicule of these esteemed his Hy Iriengs ids tecings Bg be imagined. THEY cannot be "deseribed. E, W. Thomson, Canadian' cérres- pofitlent' of' 'the Boston Transpript, who! thé' tory press delights %o Bonor because of his rare impartiality, 're- gards Ames as the biggest failute of tho ee. . Rk Ahoppsop gives the member for Montreal credit for be- leving that he had originally discov- ced. angenuing,. Mayor's. sesty. but the evidence proved that '"'Ames whole fabrig of inuendo hdd been based on suspitions,"? that 'ghe sslandered both Burrows and Turpifi, men as respec- table as himself, ahd that he tried to out were suppress the, information which estab- lished this fact. " The conclusion of Mr. Thomson will generally if Mr. Ames had not gone into the case, the be endorsed--that opposition would have gained the cre- dit 'of advising a reform in the timber regulations; however, their whole timber case land he by and "marred his -preposterous scandal mongering." WHY SCOTT SUCCEEDED, There were three very notable and distinct issues in the Saskatchewan eléction. The goverifiient eld. for the eonstruction of the Hudson's Bay rail- way by the federal government. The federal government gave its tonsent. The opposition argued that the pro- vincial - governments should whidertake the contract. This was the first ques- tin in which the parties differed to the advantage of the Scott party. The government undertook to give the school children free, books of Can- adian authorship, and of the highest quality, in material and workmanship. Me opposition could not resist a demand so reasonable, but it sought to develop a grievance because Mor- ang & Co. of Toronto, the publishers, in order to rush the first edition, had the printing and binding done in New York. The government realized that some land owners, and to the extent of 20,000,000 or 25,000,000 were not contributing to the cause of edu- a tax of le. acres, cation, and it imposed per acre. Of the proceeds 97 per cent. went to the public schools, and the ibalance to the provincial university, the high schools, and the agricultural college. The opposition dissented. If figured on the support of the land speculators and probably got it, and yet suffered defeat. The government wa not tried upon its merits, sb far as the opposition's campaign was concerned. The Scott party had made good all its promises. It had developed fan excellent munici- pal system, improved the license de- partment, readjusted the constituen- cies without suspicion of a gerryman- der, dealt fairly' with its opponents notwithstang ing the coarsest abuse, and deserved the favour it received. The opposition did not discuss the work of the legislature or the government, but rested its case Jargely the racial cries of a previous election, and met the fate that was its due. on "EDITORIAL NOTES. Ontario contributed its quota of henchmen for dark service in the Sas katchewan election. The defeat was tain party. Hon. Mr. Seott, of Saskatchewan, is as mild a man as the country pro- duces, But he can fight when it is necessaty, and knocked position in the late election. out ¢ the op- g-- Mr. Scott, in the last legislature of Saskatchewan, had a majority of sev- en. In the new assembly he will have probably fourteen. There more than a moral victory in that, : Several changes ip the teaching ap puintments. of bur publie séhools are expécted. The policy of moving some of the teachers around annually ap- pears to be revived, or it is meeting with greater favour. z is The Board of Health act needs amendment. At present any expense ean be contracted by its members, or any two of them, and the council has no altemative than pay the bills. This is simply outrageous. The opponent of Hon. Mr. Motjer- well, in North Qu'Appelle, is a lijjeral who had a personal grievance to sat- isfy. He vowed he would win if it cost him $50,000, and money has its inflience in a local election, as the people of Kingston kiow. ---- In the Saskatchewan election Mr. Scott had. pitted against him the election machinery of the Manitoba government and all the loose rifi-raff that the party in Ontario and Quebec could send to Mr: Haultain's aid. The rout of this combine will have far- reaching results. - -- Some of the conservative press have been trying to read the hand-writing on the wall, and they profess\ to see in it defeat for 'the Lalrier Aoverns ment. It is not a peifect gover 1 99 but it hetter, than anything 'the Borden-Foster combination pro- is ean mise. Mr. the popular end of a discussion in argu- Haultain had elearlyf un- ing that the three western provinces should build the Hudson's Bay rail- way, not the federal government. The balloting was scarcely over when the federal government sent out its sur- veyors, proving 'the earnest of what Mr. Graham said, that "the road would be built without delay," LOST WAD OF $60 And Asked Police to Locate It For Him. i sie Francis Hillier, a ydung 'Hulcher, living near = Elginburg, was an early caller at the police station this morn- ing. The other day, while in the city, he Jute a-wad of '$60, and 35 ha pec ome person, of-stealing it, Hg Ranted the police RL He gave the particulars of the. case to the officers, - . Hillier says that he had the money safe in his pocket, while' he was around the city, doing a little busi- ness, and that he never missed it un- til he got home. He is almost certain that he was relieved of the wad, and that it 'did not drop amt from his pocket any place on the road. He says that while driving out home he went to sleep, and it may be that he was robbed while on his way. He says that it is a usual thing 'for him te sleep when driving home. PROFESSOR: OF HISTORY. Has Secured a Scottish Minister. Rev. E. F. Scott, :M.A., B.A, ; of Prestwick, Sootland, has been . snap- ped up py Queen's University, to . be professor of church history. Mr; Scott was one of the cleverest young men of his time at the University of Glas- gow, where he got his M.A, and at Oxford, where he got his B.A. . He went in for the ministry: of thes United Presbyterian church, and settled at the fine Ayrshire village of Prestwick, where he has made a name for him- self, not only as a preacher, but as a scholar and theologian, fit to take his place in any assembly of learned men. He will arrive in Kingston in October. He is the guccessor of Prof. John Macnaughton. Queen's \ Was Away Twenty Years. J. A. Berryman, of Stroudsbury, Pa., is on a visit to Ms brothers, G. F.

It is just twenty years since Mr. Berry- man left this district, and this is the first time in that period, that he has met ths other members of the family. In company with Mrs. Berryman, he left Kingston, to-day, for Almonte and Carleton Place. Considered Dangerous.

ARE A FAILURE. 'Automobile No Good For Military Purposes. New York Times. 'Ihe automobile , was given a test during the recent anmy maneuvers at Pipe Plains, extending over a period of thirty days, and the army board which had the . matter in charge has repprtedthat the machines are a failure for military purposes. ! Where the roads were favorable, the automobile gave good satisfaction, but on poor roads the anny officer had to get out and pusly, and that was very, much to his distaste, So the board reports that the horse is not likely to be su- 'perseded-in the game of war for some time to come. We suggest briefly that a similar judgmént would in due time have to be recorded against the military bal- loon. As if in confinmation of this, a cablégramm has been printed under a Berlin date line to this eflect : "Dur- ing 'a session of night practice by a machiffe gun corns of the army near Augsburg, last night, the gunners were ordered to train on a target balloon which had been sent up during the day, and was floating far above and / » the left of their encampment. The bal- loon was brought down at the first volley. The test was made for the purpose of ascertaining what chapco offfosing a hostile balloon corps which ca énotiggh to its camp to drop explosives on 'its works." * ovements in thine' guns Which have been 'made cently; 'and the Nnereasing' eo gunhery practice; due to the in ence upon!

It is prebable that; they be met with a shower of bullets from which there will be no possible escape, if the enemy is on the alert, as they will be. no doubt. However, the bal- loon mav be useful in reconnoissance even though it may not revolutionize warfare. * of t- n Epidemic Of Wife Desertion. New York, Aug. 18.--An epide- mic of wife desertion has struck the poorer districts of this city, according to reports which the Children's Aid Society has received irom its visitors in the eight districts where the so- ciety maintains branch stations of the Sick Children's "Mission. One: visitor discovered twelve deserted wives in one neighborhood within a. month. The reason for these = desertions, as explained by this visitor, Mrs. Edith K. McArthur, of the East 88th street station, is the "hard times." Mrs Mrs, MeArthur bases her assertion on a comparison of the conditions in her neighborhood before the financial j.anic threw hundreds of its residents cut of work and the epnditions which exist there now. eemeithtcmrtete Are Making Emquiry. Quebec, Aug. 18.--The story of the murder in the northern part of the province of a hunter's guide named Lemieux, whose body, it is elleged, was afterwards mutilated and devour- ed by human beings, is being investi- gated by the attorney-general's de- partment. Two Frenchmen named Bernard and Grasset, who employed Lemieux, and were with him when last seen, are being searched for by pro- vincial detectives. i The Neebish Channel. Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Aug. 18.-- The Neebish Channel, which cost $1, 000,000, opened to traffic when the steamer (eorge F.

A MASTER OF POISONS. Romantic Career "of Sir Thomas £2 Stevenson. Londen, Aug. 18. --There Bas just died at his | 8 ih Streath@m Thigh Road -- the wologiist of the home office, Sir Thomas Stevenson many years has been knownj ag "the master of "poisons." For is last twenty-six yedrs 'he has aided the prosecution in all trials in which the supposed tq haye n poisoned, and to the guilty: he was a veritable witness of doom. He was the crucial witness Jor the prosecution in the Maybrick case in 1889. He deposed to the presence of arsenic and bismuth in the organs of Mr. Maybrick,, declared that death was due to arsenical poisoning, and stated that arfenic taken as a periodic would not leave the effects he had dis- covered. Last year Sir Thomas was engaged in the Croydon mystery, when it was proved that Richard Brinkley murder- ed Mr. #@nd Mrs.' Black by putting poison in a 'bottle of stout. fie was also present at Highgate cemetery on behalf of the home office when the body of Thomas Charles Duce was exhumed to set at rest thé allegations of the claimant to the Portland duke: dom and estates that the hurial was a mock one, and that the coffin con- tained nothing but lead. WILL. NOT LOSE HAND. J. J. Hill Will Have Sore Spot For Days. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 18.--James J. Hill 'will not lose his hand as was feared when surgeons first examined the injury following the accident. The magnate sustained injuries while re- pairing his auto in the country near Grasston, sixty miles north of here. Mr. Hill was accompanied by his daughter, and when the motor car halted on a rough road, he assisted the chauffeur in making repairs. The chauffeur started the engine before Hill had withdrawn his hand, with the result that his hand was painfully crushed and the skin torn from the back.
