Notwithstanding Sir John Thompson’s pledged honor for a thorough investi- gation and Premier Abbott’s earnestly hypocritical appeal for assistance in unearthing corruption and rascality the ' ministerialist forces at Ottawa have done their level best to stave ofi‘ as far as possible the discussion and investigation of the Caron charges and the consider: ation of the petition against Judge Elliott. These questions are extremely awkward ; and it is not surprising that the ministry dread facing the music. Mr. Carling holds on to Mr. Hyman’s seat with stolid lndifl‘erence, though the finger of scorn is pointed athim. Sir Adolphe’s monocle for once fails to cover up its wearer’s nervousness. It slowly dawns upon Sir John Thompson apparently that he has made a fatal blunder in refusing an investigation of Mr. Edgar’s charges, and that the reputation upon which he had been trading is rapidly becoming Peck- snifian. He made a still worse blunder, in one sense, in threatening Mr. Somer- ville of Brant with a resolution of ex- pulsion if he did not withdraw an apparent charge of irregularity in returns made against Mr. Denison, M. P., and involving afew dollars. Mr. Somerville merely read some affidavits in asking for information and expressly declared that he did not charge misappropriation. Mr. Edgar on the other hand in the most formal, direct and specific manner formu- lated his charges against Caron and demanded reference to a committee. On that occasion Sir John Thompson argued that a private membercould for- mulate the wildest charges without being held responsible. Sir John’s remarkable inconsistency has been quickly sized up bythe public, and the public have also sized up the sincerity of his professions. Sir'John said sharply to a blundering tory M. P. whowas explaining too much in the house the other day, “that will do.” The public now say sharply to Sir John, “that will do; we see through you.” There may be something in the sugges- tion that the Governor-General has intimated tint the Caron charges should receive an investigation. We should prefertobesble to say that there was suficient independence and patriotism in thaconssrvative parliamentary ranks to bid upon an investigation. Both'flls farmer-M. P.'slike Mr. Fun-hairs voted againstthe proposition to place binder twineonthefreelist. Itstoughonthe farmer when fat monopolist! like Stairs sitting in the house vote money into theirownpocketsatthe expense of the hard-working farmers; but it seems the veryacxne of absurdity for a man like Mr.Fairbairntostaudupinthehouseas proo a farmer and vote to take money out of the pockets of the farmers and put it into the pockets of monopolists like Stairs and ' the Yankee cordage combine. The fact is that Mr. Fairbdrn sacrifices the far- mer’s interests to the exigencies of the toryparty at Ottawa. That party i8 largely dependent upon the N. P. and the red parlor contributions ; and any attempt to break up a single sectionin the monopoly ring would involve the party in confusion and trouble. Mr. Davin has declared that the binder twine tar presses too heavily upon the farmers of the N orth-west ; but our South Victoria rep- resentative flippantly declares that it is of no consequence whatever. The entertaining part of the whole thingis that our tory friends are in the name of loyalty compelling the farmers of this country to pay into the calibre of a Yankee cordage combine a contribution of nearly half a million dollars a year. The Yankee combine controls all the Canadian concerns and a number of American factories, and they fix at one place in Canada the prices that are to obtain in this country. They have no competition here, thanks to the tory government and “farmer’s friends” like Mr. Fairbairn, and they make the price to the Canadian farmer 3c. a lb. more than obtains generally on the other side, where they have to face competition. There are strong American concerns not in the combine, but the Canadian farmer can not deal with them owing to the duty. If binder twine were put on the free list the price would drop 3c. 8. lb. in Canada at once. ” ____,____â€"â€" EDITORIAL NOTES. The Empire refsâ€"rs_to Sol. White, its annexationist friend, as Mr. LeBlanc. Hon. C. F. Fraser has returned to Toronto with health greatly improved by his stay in Colorado. He received a most cordial welcome from many friends. The commons bye-election in Welland takes place today. Mr. Jae. A. Lowell is the reform candidate and Mr.John Lawson the conservative standard bearer. Mr. W. F. MacLean of the Toronto World has captured the tory nomination for East York for the commons. He is known as the ‘ butter” candidate, but it is rather early to turn him out to grass. The London Advertiser says: “Mr. Mac- kenzie was both an honest man and a. politician. His life is a standing rebuke to those men who stand aloof from partici- pation in the management of public afi'airs because they believe that all men are crooked.” An item is going the rounds to the effect that the Grand Trunk's lease of the Mid- land has nearly expired. and as it will not be renewed the Midland will probably pass into the hands of the c. P. R. The’ item is erroneous in the important particulars that the lease has some twenty odd years yet to run, and as the G. T R have made rmancnt works “One of the last speeches made in par- liament by the late Hon. Alexander Mac- kenzie," remarks the Ottawa Free Press. “was one in support of Mr. Blake's resolu- tion proposing that Canada should obtain the right to negotiate her own commercial treatiesâ€"a proposal which has recently been described as dlsloyal and tending to. wards the disruption of the British empire. Mr. Mackenzie was a loyal Briton, but he [ was a true Canadian also, and did not believe in having his count ’5 liberties, lettered by Downing street tape." The local elect’on in Tomato to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. H E. Clarke, takes place to-day. The conserva- tives, who regard the city as a tory strong- hold, have selected Mr. H. A. E Kent, a respectable nonentity, as their candidate. They o wed it to Mr. Meredith to sive him as first lieutenant one of the ablest men the tory ranks in the city could furnish, but they could induce no man of ability to come into the fieldâ€"or the ward heelers claimed the honor for one of themselves. The reform candidate is Mr. N.Gordon Bige- low, an able and po ular man, who would at once take 9. gb place in the house. Mr. Bi elow is a rather of Messrs. S and 0. Bige ow of this town, and is well known here. Mr. Ph llipps Thom n is running as a labor candidate.

Mr. T ompson would make a much abler representative than the tory candidate. That eccentric tory E A. Mac- Donald. is out as an annexationist. with the view no doubt. of strengthening the $01. White wing of the torv party in the house. The reportof a committee of the recent synod of Hamilton and London condemned in severe terms the gerrymander and the political corruption that prevails.

The Montreal Witness says: “Lord Stan- ley, the governor general, is said to have demanded either the investigation of the charges against Sir Adolphe Caron or his withdrawal as an adviser of the Crown. The governor-general. might take such a stand. but it is not probable that he did so asit is one that he would only take as a last resort, his alternative in case of a refusal of the government being to accept the resignation of the prime minister, involvln , of course. the fall of the govern- ment. t is not improbable that Lord Stanley,after reading the .demand- ed, or was voluntarily given ex‘pla- nations by the accused mluister, an if these did not ripper to him altogether satisfactory, or tseemed ht that the denials or explanations shoul be estab- lished and made public for the satisfaction of the people he may have intimated that an investigation should be held.
