With a Liberal majority Sam can do no harm down there. ” The cables convey the surprising news that Bulgaria may pay up. There is hope yet for some of our subscribers. The Trent Valley Canal will be completed by men who know how, and who are in earnest in continuing the good work. Hon. J. R. Stratton has our heart- iest congratulations on the splendid vindication given him by the people of West Peterboro. - That great land-slide in Ontario didn't materialize. It only goes to show how easy it is for some Tory papers to blow themselves up. We are told that in Macedonia snakes are frequently seen that . are eight feet long. But then they don't have to keep their whiskey five years in bond over there. An instance of the fairness of the government it may be noted that it was announced that all bush polls would be abolished, thus preventing any possibility of wrong-doing. ' In Toronto the other day the judge 'tookthslibertycfdiaagrecingwith 'thsjnry.Thisevensitup. Several tinenm to disagree with the judge;- The people did for Mr. Borden what they felt he was unable to do for himselfâ€" purged his following of Messrs. Fowler. Lefurgey, Pope and Bennett. He will be the stronger for their absence. La Patric, of Montreal, says that the campaign was fought on the phrase, “Let Laurier Fillish his Wor, " and such was the sympathy which this appeal awakened from one end of the country to the other, that the Liberal victory was of such pro- portions as to surpass the most op- timistic forecasts. I There ought to be a war dance at Ottawa before the House opens. Mr. Carvell will be there with Mr. Fow- ler' s scalp; Mr. Amos with Mr. Bur- rows’ scalp; Mr. Fisher with Mr. Pope's scalp; a stranger will be around somewhere with Mr. Lefurg- ey 's , Mr. Aylcsworth, himself with- out a scalp-lock, will have Mr. Ben- nett's hanging to his belt. And Mr. Foster will be still in grateful pos~ session of his own. # The Minister of Agriculture ha: made almost a clean sweep of district, Sherbrooke being the only riding left to the Conservatives, and it by a very small majority. Conservatives talked confidentlyT winning Megantic and Compton, Sheflord was in doubt, and even Brome was to turn against the Min- ister. Mr. Fisher not only holds all that he had, but adds Huntingdon to the Liberal column The Opposition does not appear to have gained in debating strength, the loss of Messrs. Bennett and Fow- ler tending to weaken its power 'for offensive work. The Government, on the contrary, has gained by the re- turn of Mr. W. L. M. King, who pro- mises to become a strong figure in Parliament. He enters the House trative work as Deputy Minister of with a fine record of good adminis- Labor, and having at his belt the political scalp of a riding that has long been Conservative. THE GENERAL RESULT The result of the general elections held on Monday is a most gratifying one and assures that for at least four years the administration of the ef- fairs of the country will remain in the hands of competent and high- minded statesmen. The elections have been fought with perhaps more bitterness than we have experienced in late years. So anxious were the opposition to gain power at any cost that they hesitated at no slander no matter how vile to traduce the characters of eminent men of the Liberal party in the hope that advantage may be obtained from it. The people have been appealed to, and as the arbitrators between the government and their traducers they have given judgment, and it is a judgment that should prove a lesson to the hungry office-hunters who have been so'sadly disappointed. COMMUNICATIONS We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents. OUR RESPONSIBILITY. (To the Editor of The Post) Sir,â€"The majority of your readers must have read with seriousness Mr. Horn’s letter of last week, and I am sure that we are all heartily asham- ed of the unenviable notoriety ,this town has got itself into over the death of that poor unfortunate last week. It is all very well, however, to be ashamed, but the question is, what are we going to do about it ? Are things to go on in the same way until another poor devil meets the same fate ? We cannot divest ourselves of our responsibility by turning the whites of our eyes sky- wards, and elongating our faces, and emitting platitudes. What are the license commissioners doing about it ? Are they afraid, or careless, or callous about such things ? This is in their department, and they cannot shift the responsibility like Cain tried to do some years ago by asking the question “Am I my bro- ther’s keeper '1’" They are in a mea- sure thekeeper of every one who pat- ronizes the bar. We do not expect them to be detectives or policemen. but if they gave their inspector a free hand, and were prepared to back him up, I feel satisfied the large proportion of those that might be called tordinate drinkers, now that infest the bar-rooms, would find it very difficult to get a drink. The commissioners license certain people to fill a man up with whiskey, and take ad his money, and then when he has no more and becomes » noisy, the police are called in to put him out. What right have we to pay for police to keep the peace in bar- rooms '1’ Why should we prevent the people who frequent these places from making all the noise, or doing allthe damagethcywant,aa ulongasitis ccnflnedtothsbar-roomf Who is responsiblcfcrthestatsofmind champion-0111?
