They asked that in event of a the claims and cities change in the government and merits of Charles Murphy be not Hon. Senator Scott, after .a long and hon- overlooked. The withdrawal of orable service, gave Sir Wilirid Laur- ier an opportunity to the matter, and he invited Mr. Murphy to consider become his colleague and to be head of the state department. There was general approval express- ed of the choice, but the opposition Le Canada, which has served the tory party with has been heard from. all the ardour possible, is quite put out with Mr. Murphy's call to office. He is a liberal, and. that is enough. He cannot qualify for any position in the opinion of his political oppon- ents, An anonymous correspondent of the Montreal Gazette expresses the idea that Mr. Murphy's elevation to a seat in the cabinet is an insult to his co- religionists, which is His for urged by co-religionists, and it ts safe a fabrication. selection cabinet rank was to say that they have as good stand- ing in the community those for as whom the correspondent speaks.

Thus at a meeting in Dauphin, Manitoba, a characteristic letter read, signed W. H. Whimster, was Portage la Prairie. This was addressed to Nat. Joyd, M.P., who had sent it to T. M.

Mr. Whimster when in his communication said he was in Dan re- ceipt of a letter from Saunders, of Shoal Lake, who wanted a to cut timber on Section 4, township 20, commended as '"'a strong supporter of permit range 22 west.

Tully, of Strathelair, is also applying for the same piece of timbéF and, as he is an Mr. *Whimster, "I sée Saunders get it." opponent, wrote would rather Mr. Saunders got the limit. The next letter was dated Winnipeg, November 11th, 1894, fol- lows : "My Dear Daly,--Neil Keith has ap- plied to you to get a permit to ties in township 11, ranges 16 and 17 east. I would be glad if you could grant him his permit at once. Keith is a good fellow and a good friend of ours. He has been connected with Dan Mann for years. He is anxious to get his permit quick, so that he may ex- perience no trouble with other sub- contractors.

Mr. Keith got his limit. : Mr. Oliver read documents dealing with other instances showing that even the conservative government's own political 'supporters could not get their rights exeept by political favor and pull and yet the conservatives asked the people to believe to-day that they would be honest in their administration. It is significant to add that the T. M. Daly here referred to was formerly minister of the interior, and is mow the police magistrate in Winnipeg.

Canadian Gazette. 3 We fear that it must be admitted that there is some feeling of distrust in the city, but we think that in some respect our correspondent has misread what the premier of Ontario said. Sir James did not say that his govern- ment had reversed the policy of its forerunner in office; although it has adopted a policy which probably was not thought of by those who granted the concessions. What he did say was that "some years ago the then gov- ernment of Ontario did give the con- cessions referred to to the company mentioned, but = quite without any monopoly rights. Since then the pre- sent government of 'Ontario had been approached by a numberof municipal- ities and asked to act for them in the matter of obtaining from the several electrical power-supply companies at Niagara definite statements as to the rates at which they could supply elec- for the use of these vari- How trical power h ous municipalities." This perhaps might be expressed somewhat differently. The vast engi- neering difficulties having been success- fully overcome and the solid cash ex- penditure of a million sterling having been sunk in the enterprise, a cry was raised by certain politicians of 'cheap power for the people. A very excel lent thing for everybody in the pro- vince if the cheapness to the consumer no injustice te the producer involved reach The chief municipalities within 1 of Niagara were obviously ioe chief customers for power, but they being shepherded by the Hydro-Electrical commission the government could put a pistol to the head of the producers of power and force submission to their own terms. It was this fact that made the de- bentures practically unsaleable for a time, and very much scared British investors. Lately the goVernment has signed a contract for the erection and equipment of power transmission lines from Niagara to Toronto, thus dupli- cating those already constructed by the Electric Development company. As the cost of this duplicate line is de- frayed out of public money the bond- holders are ungasy, and application, we understand, Tas been made in the courts for an injunction. The whole controversy is regrett- able, particularly so because in Sir James Whitney we have a statesman who has shown a strong desire = to tighten the bond between Ontario. and the old country. Moreover, he is a staunch imperialist, a man in whose mind the idea ofthe consolidation of the empire is never; to be lost sight of. In the intérview\with our contem- porary, Sir James made the pregnant statement that "the whole question would before long be likely to adjust itself in a perfectly satisfactory man- ner to all concerned." We hope, there- fore, that he will before he returns to Canada make a statement that will finally set at rest all apprehensions on the part of investors. 'he whole point of the matter is, as our corre- spondent says, that British investors feel that government ownership in competition with corporations--especi- ally when, as in this case, the corpor- ation pays the government a larze an- nual royalty--puts private enterprise out of court. ee en About $1000 in cash was taken {from street car barns in Wellesley, Mass.

IN GANANOQUE TOWN GARNOCKS TRIED TO"KILL" THE UMPIRE At a Baseball Game at Lyndhurst and Got Soaked--Death of Mrs. Edgar Elliott, at Willets- holme. Gananoque, Sept. 23.--Excitement was created on King street, Monday evening, by a young man in an intoxi- cate' condition using profane and in- sulting language to passers-by. The police promptly took him in charge. I'he offender was arraigned before Freeman Britton, J.P., 'and was tax- ed five dollars and costs, the fine be- ing paid by the foreman of the tele: phone gang, operating in this locali- ty, with whom the young man had been working. The foreman immedi- ately discharged him. Quite a large number from town took in the first day of Lyndhurst fall fair, yesterday. Among those who went were the Garnocks baseball team, to avenge their overwhelming defeat in that village a short time ago, but Providence or the umpire Ss . wiiled differently, and after four in- nings of good ball, neither side scor- ed. The Garnocks thade up their minds that they could not win 'with- out "killing" the umpire, and Tiade an attempt to do so by throwing the ball at him, and refusing to go on with the game, which was of course awarded to Lyndhurst, 'nine to noth- ing. Fottie J. Elliott," beloved wife of Edgar Elliott, passed away at Wil letsholme, at an early hour, Tuesday morning, aged thirty-two years and seven months. Deceased had been ail- ing for some time, and the end was not unexpected. She was well and favourably known throughout this section.

By a Student at Queen's Medical College. Progressive Inquirer, Yonkers, N.Y. On Monday Henry M. Lemont lee- tured at the A. M. Zion Church. The young doctor was assisted by local talent and rendered a splendid musical programme. The "audience was mixed. Why the lecturer treated the subject of tuberculosis among the negroes es- pecially, was because of 'the adverse environments, tages, climatic disadvantages, the negro's ignorance of the disease, the want of more care of the negro by the nation, and the unsanitary dwellings which the negroes are compelled to live in, especially in the cities. The doctor said that a German phy- sician, Dr. Koch by name, in 1852 discovered that the cause of the dis- ease is a vegetable parasite. The sub- ject was treated in detail. Every me- dical term that chanced to be used was explained, much to the delight of the lay audience and much to the satisfaction of the professional men who honored the young doctor with their presence. Dr. Lemont did not only prove him- self a student of medicine and surgery but also a stadent and investigator of social and political science. young doctor is originally from Trini- dad, British West Indies, and has been in America about seven years, during the economic disadvan- which time he has worked up the va- rious stéps in the ladder of labor, has pushed himself through a college course in Lincoln University, Pa., and is now a member of the final year class in the medical department of Queen's University, Canada. Tis Only Hot Air. Winnipeg Free Press. In 1900 the conservatives would not concede a single one of the seventeen western constituencies to the liberals; yet there was a tidy liberal majority west of the lakes, In 1904 Roblin and Rogérs boasted weeks before the elec- tion of the coming sweep. They were going to carry all ten seats in Mani- toba, and have a majority in the ter- ritories and British Columbia. They succeeded in carrying only six out of ° the twenty-seven seats, To-day we are having the same futile silly gas- conade about sweeping the grits off the face of the earth and so forth. No one is deceived thereby. It is as certain as anything can be in polities that jthere will be a liberal majority in | every one of the four western pro- vinces., .
