Sometimes they simultaneous publication; more frequently they ' cation given a false dale, and painted off. on the Mail and Empire's readers as cablet “hot from the wire." The fact that the Mail and Empire I known the Tribune's exclusive Times cable to be a good thing, is shown ‘ by a letter: from one of its editors ask- I ing if the Tribune would sell this ser- vice. But1 that paperâ€"which has been one of the loudest bowlers in the Can- adian chorus. charging Americans with pirating English literatureâ€"eviduitly thought it cheaper to steal than to buy.

If 1 the. Chicago Tribune knew the Marl as well was the journal is known rn Toronto, there would be no outburst of United States indignation in Chi- cago. The Telegram spends a great deal of money on special cables. and the Mail spends a great deal of care and attention in appropriating those spee- iaI cables without a word of credit to indicate the source of the news which enriches its barren columns.

The bye-elections to fill the vacan- ciao in the Ontario legislature are to be hrid right away. and more inter- est attaches to them than is usually the case, from the fact that the num- erical strength of the two parties in tho local house is pretty evenly bal- ancod and the constituencies them- selves arc close enough to make a fight interesting. But while the op- position, as in duty bound, are de- claring with all the earnestness of ap- parent conviction, that they have the fate of the Bus administrat'onat their many, the electors are intelligently considering the situation, giving at- tention. not only to the twenty-seven year- of an honest. and progressive past, but also to an equally est on present contains and future. That program fifteen principal planks, ev- eryone of which is in complete ac- cord with the principles of sound lib- eralism as so long interpreted and practised by the provincial adminis- tration.

To ascertain the exact financial po- sition of the province by n commis- sion of experienced financiers. To open up New Ontario by trunk colonization roads and railways in or- do: to make homes for the sons of Ontario. who otherwise might seek a home In another province or under a foreign flag. {To make a thor h survey of, the province north of t e. Canadian I’a- crfic Railway to Hudson Bay, covering an area of over 100,000,000 acres. To apply? a reasonable portion of the waste lands of the province in aid of railwaysâ€"tho lands to revert to the Crown if not settled within a limited time. . . To extend the arable lands by drain- ing swamp lands, now reported. as amounting to 3,000,000 acres. To develop the agricultural ne- acumen of old Ontario by encouraging better methods of farming, making larger grants to farmers' institutes. dairy schools. and by a more practical education in agriculture in the schools of the province. To preserve the perishable products of the farm and dairy. such as fruit and butter, for a suitable market by the establishment of cold storage and collecting stations all over the prov- ince. To assist the Domin'on government in obtaining the quick and cheap transportation of the products of the farm and workshop to the markets of Great Britain, and to improve‘ local transportation within the province by means of good roads and cheap rail- ways. ' To improve the practical educat'on of the artisan classu by the estab- lishment of technical schools. as is now being done in England and the [hired States. ; To promote the manufacture of all natural products such as lumber. cop- per, nickel, etc., into the finished pro- duct within the province. To insist upon the control of all local rights and franchises. so far as prac- ticable by municipalities to which they properly belong. :To maintain with a firm hand the rights of Ontario against the Domin» ion or against any other province. 'l‘o enforce all laws enacted for the protection of public morality with firmness and impartiality. To maintain the efficiency of our system of education and to administer the same in the interests of the whole people. irrespective of class and creed. # Newspapers and Magamnct' â€"Il‘.he glory and glow of the fall and the tang of early winter color Outing for December.
