A large percentage of the Conserva- tives in Victoria and Haliburton, in~ eluding sevoral of the most influential, object to Col. Sam Hughes as their Standard bearer in the coming election for the House of Commons, and Mr. T. G. Irwin, of Mariposa. in a letter to the Watchmanâ€" Wardcr, says: “ I am forced to the conclusion that. to enter the contest with Col. Hughes as the candidate means the election of the Liberal candidate; that is. if one be put in the field. I think it would be unfortunate if the success of our par- ty in this strong conServative constitu- ency were to be impci'illcd through dis- afl’cction in our own ranks......I can come to but one conclusion; that is, seek another candidate before it is too late, for to me it appears that it will require more than a will~o’-thc-wisp and his magic lantern to heal the differences that are entirely attributable to the col- onel's scheming genius." Mr. Irwin may rest assured that a Liberal candidate will be put in the field. and we think he may also rest as- suredâ€"though the assurance may dis- turb his rest-â€"that Sam Hughes won't retire in favor of Dr. Vroomao or any other man,~because, you know, he is n’t ofa retiring disposition. And what are the anti-colonclites going to do about it ? We have n’t the least personal ill feeling towards the Boer-busting hero of South Africa, but we wont to. see this constit- uency represented in the House of Com- mons by a Liberal. as we believe it will be after the next election. Besides, Col. Hughes is considered to be. and is often spoken of as, “ the member for McKen- zie & Mann," and a man sent to Ottawa as the representative of a constituency ought to represent it. and not an aggre- gation of capitalists. ‘ The “ antis " can get rid of the colonel either by putting a second Conservative candidate in the field, (if they can find any one willing to enter it with the certainty of being beaten.) or by chipping in and helping the Liberal. whoever he may be. For Sam's opponents in his own party to simply stay at home upon polling day would be easy. but it might not be suf. ficient insure to his defeat. as a good many Liberals, aware of the disaficction in the Conservative ranks, might cen- sidcr their own candidate quite safe and stay at home too. We have not the slightest doubt that this constituen- cy. after the next election, will be rep- resented either by a Liberal or- by Col. Sam Hughes. A Chum For Sam. Lord Dundrearyâ€"beg pardon : Dun- donnld, we mean â€"has gone home to England, but'it appears probable that he intends to return to Canada. The Toronto Star says :- “ Lord Dundonald has not sold his grey horses. Before leaving Ottaiva he did not have an auction sale of his household effects. Therefore it is ru- mored that he will return to Canada, after a. trip to England in which he will resign from the army, and, with both feet planted in Canada, will enter poli- tiec in real earnest and seek election to the House of Commons. So be it. Should Lord Dnndonald' follow this pro- gramme, s. new interest, if not actual excitement, will be imported into our politics. In taking that course he would necessarily discard the halo so for were as a non-partizan military expert, seek. ing to improve the defences of his Maj.- esty’s dominions.” He. would hang up his halo at home and-come back here in his private capacity..-- He would be reduced to his own inherent value, and. would have to ,meet- the-leaders of the Liberal party on, level: ground. We trust that those who treasure the memory that on a certain rollickingnight they had the honor of being among the five thou.- sand: who shook hands with 3. lord, will bear with us if we observe that the Lib- erals of the country need» look forward with. no misgivings to such an cncounté or, if it is fated to occur. Why should the prospect not attract Lord Dundee.- ald?’ Has he not some. excuse for re- garding himself as the hero of the Ca- nadian public? Was he not borne tri- umphantly through the-streets of Toron: to and Ottawa, and stormed by an ad. miring crowd on reachithr Montreal last night? Does he not see here a Cop- servative party hungering for an .cnthu- siasmâ€"for such an enthusiasm as he ‘ seems able to supply ? Even if he knows â€"and he may not knowâ€"«that is is not the people, but the Conservatives, who have taken him up,because of his quar- rel with their adversaries in office, Is. not that enough toattraet him ?. The prospect is one of adventure. It is in line with family tradition. l'Iis grand- father played a stormy role in Chile and in Brazil, and why should not he also cut a figure in. a toy statsaeross .4...- _Q . seas? He has nothing in particularéto do in the near future, unless, there should be an entanglement with Rus- sia that would give soldiers of title a good chance." If Lord Dundenald should come back to this Canada of ours and effect an en- trance into the House of Commons, what a chum for Sam Hughes he ’11 make; provided always that Sam be not bounc- ed at the next election, of which, judg- ing from present indications, there is more than a possibilitv. That Sum will tryâ€"if he have a chanceâ€"to cultivate Lord Dnndonald’s acquaintance is a foregone conclusion ; but, to succeed, he will have to czu'efully'avoid wounding his lordship’s ambur-‘projjrc, for the ma- jority of persons of noble birth are prot- ty considerably “stuck up," and even colonelsâ€"cspecially colonial colenclsâ€" are expected to address them reveren- tially, and Sam’s “ organ of veneraticn," as the plirenologists call it, is very im- perfectly developed. But is» he can suf- ficiently subdue his native impudence to gain his lordship'e good will, they may become real chummy and mutually helpful, for Lord Dundonald can shed some of his " halo " on Sam, and Sam, in return. can give his lordship pointers on Canadian politics and military af- fairs. So mote it be! for it will afford live lord. A Better Method Needed. Some very interesting information is being gathered by H. B. Gowan. Super- intendent of Agricultural Societies, who is making an investigation of the work being done by the various agricultural. societies of the province. It has been found that, as a general rule, the exhi- bitions that are paying out the largest some for special attractions are giving the least for agricultural purposes. Ma- ny of the township societies in the prov- ince receiving small grants are holding much better exhibitions and-doing more for the cause of agriculture than a large number of district societies are doing; while there are many township societies which hold such poor exhibitions that they should be closed up or utilize their funds for other purposes. In quite a few counties in the province there are so many exhibitions that they conflict with each other seriously. Fewer, but better, exhibitions would be a great im- provement in these counties. Personals. Mr. A. P. Ross, of Jamestown, N. Y}, is visiting his uncle, Mr. G. J. Nie. Rev. A. B. Chafee. of Coboconk, was at the Falls for a few hours on Tuesday.
