It is not surprising that Mr. ;‘ Valin’s evidence has carried dismay and confusion into the conservative camp at Ottawa.

SirHector cannot plead ignorance. He does not, we believe, plead ignorance. Bispoeitionseemsto be a very peculiar Now if there is one thing for which Sir Hector Laugevin has prided himself, and for which his friends have continually sunghispraises, ithasbeen his thorough mastery of all the details and his perfect control of the afl'airs of his department. And we frankly admit that Sir Hector has always shown a ready acquaintance with departmental details and a complete grasp of public afl'airs that justified to a considerable extent the praises of his friends. He was one of the ablest and most industrious members of Sir Johni Macdouald’s cabinet. He always exhibit- \ ed in the house a far more intimate} acquaintance with his oflicial duties than his colleagues, Sir John Thompson perhaps alone excepted. Sir Hector has always been in fact a very hard-working departmental chief. He knew what was going on. It is idle and absurd to eonservutive of Quebec city, a former M.

Mr. Lister, the clever reform member for West Lambton, on Wednesday presented to the house of commons the largest petition ever placed before that body. It was signed by Fifteen Thousand (15,000) farmers of Ontario. It set forth “(1) That the agricultural interests of the n country are not in as prosperous a con- n dition as we would desire. (2) That 10 the tariff legislation for the purpose of n assisting the manufacturing interests of n the country has been taken advantage n of by such manufacturing interests as n to enhance prices of many such articles u as are indispensably necessary to farmers n in carrying on the business in which n they are engaged.” And the petitioners duly prayed “That the house of commons n will be pleased tx) take this matter into n consideration during this session, and n to cause the important duties charged n upon binder twine, salt and sugar to be u removed and these articles placed on n thefree list. ” It will be remembered that Mr. Fairbairn voted and spoke against the removal of the binder twine duty. Mr. Barron and other liberal members voted for its removal. Farmers There is a new crop of scandals every day, and the end is not yet. Even a fair beginning, it is evident, has not yet been made in the work of investigation, and what startling and shocking re- velations have already been made! It is a. dis 'ng commentary on the eulogies prayed upon the departed leader that th revelations of corruption and malversatiort, exemplifying the corrupt character of his edministration and betray- ing the hidden and sordid sources of his power should have so soon occurred. that ministers who have character to maintain talk of resigning, that there are open threats of throwing Sir Hector over- board, and that the tory cabinet is break- ing up from internal dissensions and the tremendous pressure of outside troubles. It is impossible for a weekly paper with the limited space at its command to keep pace with the startling revelations at Ottawa. The disclosures of the past two days alone would fill columns.

What do respectable and fair-minded and patriotic conservatives all over the country think of these revelations?

The cable refers to Lord Salisbury’s speech Wednesday night in which he threw out “feelers” as to the policy ”resolved upon by the government in the hope of distracting the attention of the electors from the home rule question at the general election. That policy is evidently to be one of electoral and admin- istrative reform, including the concession ,of parliamentary sum-age to women. The tories were immensely delighwd by the premier's emphatic declaration that para liament should run its full legal lease“ and they hope that the next session will be devoted to the reform bill b means of which it would be quite possi 1e so to re- arrange the electoral areas as to make secure many tory and liberalunionist seats. which under the existing arrange- ment must certainly be lost. The scheme is a hold one, and will require perfect party discipline and hard work to it throu h, but the to leadersare co dent that t e thing can done it the entire session be devoted to it. and it Lord Hart- ington and his followers give it their active support. The scheme, of course. will meet persistent and determined resistance from the liberals who den the right of any moribund government to ring in any reform bill, and it is by no means improbable that the next session will be of the liveliest character.
