Still the Whig is not unprejudiced in its own cafe, and may be more sinful than is self-apparent. The best repara- tion possible is to start in right at once, and with unalloyed pleasure commend the qualifications in the lines of national sympathies, of a gentle man mentioned for vice-consul of the United States. May he win and say, as can his special aversion with pride respecting his five nominations for parliament,--that he never asked a vote for choice or a favor of inter- cession.

Herald accuses the change of front on the It says that this paper, some weeks ago, was indignant be- cause Mr. Beck proposed that Ontario build the transmission lines, on the ground "that the Whitney govern- ment would protect the municipalities loss by guaranteeing the ac- curacy of the engineer's figures." The Herald is not above perverting con- opinion, it and it certainly not accurately reflect the Whig's mind in this quotation. In the article from which the Herald makes an extract the Whig cited the original difficulty, the one on which Mr. Mackay commented during the election campaign. The statute creat- ing the Hydro-Electric not provide for the construction of the transmission lines as a provincial undertaking. When Mr. Beck made an amendmemt which this statute did not justify, Mr. Mackay called attention to the fact, and incidentally referred. to the injustice of making some parts of Ontario carry _a great burden without getting any: benefit. The Whig com- mented on the same point, The gov- ernment endorsed it, and Mr. Beck's announcement was cancelled.

The province, it says, is willing to appoint commissioners to hand out estimates, to get all the glory of it can out of the business, but it is "unwilling to put up a cent." The Expositor does ngt favour the idea of the government going ahead and financing the scheme for the time being, But holds that it should hand out definite information and fixed rates: to the municipalities, so that they will know where they are at. The conservative papers have an- nounced the date for the federal elec. tions, October 23rd, but sdmehow it does not inspire the bet tir on Mr. Borden, - himself ! - J tended. FAR NES WAKING TP. The farmers are open to the suspi- eion, if pot tae charge, of not being clannish politically, and not ating in their own interest. Tt is re- called that twice Ontario's commis- sioner of agriculture, Hon, John Dry- den, suffered defeat in' an agricultural constituency, and during a time when he. had demonstrated most clearly his usefulness to the province, In the last local election Hon. Mr. Monteith, the present commissioner 'of agriculture in the Whithey govern- ment, lost his election hen all around him and over most of the province his party was scoring & success. In the Saskatchewan election, only a few days ago, Hon. Mr. Motherwell went down to defeat, and at the hands of a private banker, who would not be ex- pected to appeal very successfully to the rural vote. All this is remarkable when rt is remembered that the farmers are the political power in the land, and that they have really the making and un- making of governments. But once in Ontario did They make any "pretence of showing the power they possessed. That was in connection with the pat- ron movement, when they had a large representation in the assembly, their own leader, and an experience 'that should have whetted their &ppetite for larg® things. The failure of the pat- ron party has never been accurately accounted for. It did not fulfil expecta- tions. The farmers dropped it; and mn do- ing so fell back into the attitude of placemen, without the ambition to as- sert themselves. The Dryden-Monteith- Motherwell incidents are a reproach to the farmers, and sooner or later they will atone for the same by becoming an active and dominatine force in the land. ------ l HAS REACHED THE LIMIT. John Macgillivray undertakes to castigate the Whig because some one through its columys has essayed to discuss the institute examinations. Mr. Macgillivray is an educationist, is presumably an expert, and ought to he able to write on educational issues in a bright ands interesting way. But does he ? Read this precious epistle of his, and note the offensive sgirit which runs completely through it. But let 'us look at his work, remem- bering all the while that he is a dure man. He says the Whig '"'may be trying to deceive the public on behalf of this or that interest,"" What inter- est is he talking about? The Whig cannot imagine, and it does not pre- tend to be a mind reader. Trying to deceive the people ? There is insolence for you, and of the John Macgillv ray type. The Whig has not discussed the ques- tion of whether the institute has received credit for service it did not render, or the difference between the examinations in which the matricul- afits and students for teachers' certi- ficates engaged. It has not concerned itself with the which the respective candidates should make in order to pass the examina- tions, It had no occasion to do this. It confined its attention to the com- plaints from various sources and with reference to other things. Finally * it had laid befare it the possibility of the teacher candidates suffering from an erroneous valuation of their papers. Then it was suggested that a re-reading of them might do some good. Only that and nothing more. The Whig may deal examinations as circumstances rant. It will be as courageous, aml probably as ceil as John Mac: in shedding light upon the "the trustees are pri- percentage of marks later with the war- gillivray subject.
