Ottawa, where his wisdom and experience ‘5 will find wider scope in helping to settle “ the vexed questions there to be found. This important change will'involve a re- casting of the Ontario cabinet. Hon. A. S. Hardy will become premier, as ' matter of course. He is the senior mom- :2 , her of the ministry, and will receive the had got ahead of him in securing the promotion to which his ability and experi- services of the best legal talent in once entitle him. Mr. Gibson will, it is Toronto. - There is a duty to be discharg- ‘ ed to the public in this matter and it must be done. There are many able lawyers not yet retained by Clarke Wallace. ~We are pleased to recommend tothe doctor John A. Macdonell, esq., whohas been retained by the government to oppose the Goodwin claim, in which $210,000 of l . a: if. three successive elections by constantly r i increasing majorities, and is now so firmly in his seat that an election by accisma- fig ‘. tion could be predicted should . he be called to the government. in the distribu- tion of the higher honors of the provincial government it is fair to say that while the western part of the province received a larger shareâ€"and to which we did not ob- Ject, and do not now obiect-the central and eastern portions should now receive equally fair consideration, based upon the increased support accorded the party. The preponderance of ministers has always been from the west. and the speakershlp has always (alien to the lot of a western man. it is now proper to urge the claims of this portion of the province, when we have the man for the place. Mr. Stratton . . would make a shrewd and judicious cabi- ' 3 net minister; he is a ready debatcr. And a -‘ pleasant. approachable man. who would ‘" be popular in charge of a department. He 5! l is not onlv a representative of an impor- Ill taut portion of the province, but he would '1 represent the Fourth Estate-not an un- important factor in the work of moulding public opinion. As an able and popular a, newspaper man Mr. Stratton’s appoint I: ment would be gratifying to his ccnfreres, '" irrespective of political lines, for he is popular with both parties. We trust, therefore, that the vacant portfolio will be placed in Mr. Stratton’s hands. w NORTH VICTORIA. In North Victoria the liberals made a plucky fight to carry the election. They were. however, contending with the larg- est expenditure of public money in Canada, every dollar of which was handled with -. the especial view of bribery. " .; Mr. McLaughlin gained largely in all the ' eastern part of the riding, and wherever therewasanythiug like a fair fight Mr. 1 ‘~ Hughes was left considerably behind his ii? former vote. The townships of Pension. Semerville, Galway. Luttsrworth, Snow- don. Minden. Barley and Laxton, all showediarge gains for Mr. McLaughlin. The secret and the sole cause of the re. 2 election of Maj or Hughes was bribery and ‘ the extraordinary work that was carried ‘ on at the canal. 3 '~: Upto the present season most of the i work being done on the canal was done by foreigners. and the maxim appeared to be :9 i, “No Canadian need apply." The contrac- ‘ torsweresnxioustomakeall the money g : possible out of their contracts. and could I: ': l , and; a. ‘ . eon-oz- ~. get foreign labor cheaper than Canadian. The government and the representative 3: were more anxious to secure the favor of ”r thecontractors last season than that of 3 the people. and the clause in the contract requiring the employment of Canadian labor was so generally violated that great dissatisfactionwascaused.

Surely Mr. Macdonell must be as counsel of some eminence or he would not be entrusted with the Goodwin case by Dr. Montague and his colleagues in the cabinet. So there need be' no further cause for delay in pushing on the case, and the public is really anxious to know who wrote those letters. ’ * EDITORIAL NOTES The “ unrest " Kick the monopoly organs talk about and try to make people believe is so widespread, came to the sur- face in one spot Thursday, when a factory firm ap ared before the finance commit- tee of t e Hamilton council to talk about largely increasing its business in that city. Combines make goods dear and work scarce. Even torles condemn them in theory as an excl-essence on the protec- tive system, though tolerating them in practice. The liberal overnment owes no debt of gratitude to t e combines, and is not bound to continue a system under which factory owners draw full dividends while keeping their factories idle and paying no wages to workinemen. The straddle-tho~fence prose through- out the country is for the most part now saying, as we anticipated it would some weeks ago, that the tory defeat was ex- pected by it ; that it iii a good thing for the party that Mr. Laurier is an excellent man and will do well, etc. It is no doubt ready to kick itself for not climbing down sooner, but if it bad it would not have benefitted itself. It is no secret that Mr. Laurier despises time servers. Tne Japanese government is evidently smitten with the craze of militarism. She is going to use the most of her war in- demnity in purchasing ships of war and arms, and nearly all the huge war in- demnity exacted from China will be spent in Britain.‘ Only $80,000,000 of the $125,000,000, will be used for any other purpose, and that sum only temporarily. Like the money which Germany got from France, China’s payment will prove a dear acquisition to the Japanese people if it lays the foundation of a huge naval and military system, which ' will become a permanent tax on their industry. The Toronto World charges the grits with “offensively gloating” over the elections. Defeat, party, and personal. has soured the Maclean or he would never make such a charge. The liberals are leased ; they are not vindictive. The ave some stake in this country, too. an thgy cannot injure the tories without an ering themselves. Thousands of former conservatives joined in helping the liberals to break the group of the mono- polies that were making a mere tsxin machine of the government which, ins of ruling, was ruled to the country’s disadvantage, and the liberals are going to try toestablish a vernment, not for the classes. but for Canadians.
