how he can sit among honest men without feeling a tinge of shame. That he is immune from the election law decent and respectable people. If any- 1 thing, it tends to make him appear in‘ a very much worse light when he re- fuses to surrender a seat that even if he had doubts about two years ago, he need have none now. It is no excuse to say that London is a hot bed of cor- ruption and the other fellows did it Every time the London election scandal that is being aired before Mag- istrate Denison in Toronto gets a new prod. new light is let.in upon the scene and it becomes more brazen and barefaced as it proceeds. One can un- derstand the part played by political parasites, such as the Lewises, the O’Gomans, the Pritchetts, the Pres- tons and others of that ilk, and we can readily see the motive that} prompts the generous contributions to l the party fund by the wealthy con-l tractors, such as James A. Corry, of! Ottawa. and others. But for the life of us we cannot un- derstand how a Minister of the Crown too. The other fellows are not on trial; but if at any time they should be. and it can beshown that they were guilty of such wholesale debauchery: as has been proven in London, the 1n-J terests of common morality would de- mand the disfranchising of such a con- stituency. But we hope for the good name of the Liberal Conservative party that never will such an array of criminality be charged up against it as faces Hon. Chas. S. Hyman, Minister of Public Works. We trust that should ever a Conservative appear in such a mix-up he will have the hon- osty l50 Step down and outas graciously as the occasion will admit of hisdoing.

It is quite probable. that ac- tion will not follow close on the talk topics of the town sports. A good- rink would certainly be anice thing and we have little doubt thatan inâ€" dividual or a joint stock company would soon be able to reap a revenue from a reasonable investment.

We had a visit here a short , time ago from Mr. Porter. of New York, a man who has spent his whole time from boyhood in the printing of- !fice, and he. even now, is willing to admit that he knows of few, if any, 1 better trades for a man to engage in. l f ' Of course Mr. Porter is an artist, highly capable and quick in his work, I and has no trouble in getting the best i that’s going in the way of good wages. [He can deliver the goods and he can i deliver them in right shape, and men l of his ability are the men that are lwanted where the good pay is to be doled out weekly. In these days of competion a man must be quick as wellas good. It makes little difierence how good a joba man can do if it takes him all of time and a portion of eter- nity to get through with it. his ser. vices will not be in very pressing de- mand. Mr. Porter served his appren- ticeship in this office when the oppor- tunities were not even asgood as they are now, and with him printing as a: trade is quite satisfactory. and it will‘ be the same with everybody of the’ right kind of stuff. : SANCTUM SIFTINGS. such case the place could be well oc- on, and arrange for a proper building for next season. Mr. Calder is one of the principal movers in the matter. Since we spoke last week of the erec- tion of a town hall on the “Vollet property” we have met a. number who took kindly to the suggestion as to location, but as we naturally expected there is a. divided feeling regarding the ability of the town at present to engage in such an undertaking. The Taken altogether there will be plenty of fire works. and with such lightning arresters as Burns and Churchill there should be plenty of ammunition to last the historian for the next twenty years. Whether or not it will redound to Britain’s credit. time alone will tell. Hon. A. J. anour will lead the op- position forces. The labor element demands recogni- tion, and the fact that a labor leader has been taken in as a member of the Cabinet, indicates the Government’s feeling along this line. During the recess now coming to a close. the Soc- ialist wing of the Labor party have opposed the Government candidates. This certainly means more trouble.\ Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the vetern, will be on deck to give and take hard blows. The Irish question is a slumbering volcano, which may break out at any moment. Redmond and O’Connor have given out that nothing short of complete home rule will satisfy the Irish people. There will certainly be doings when the Irish get their in- nings. Then there is the Merchant’s Shipping Bill and the Revision of the Transvaal Constitution. The two great things to be decided on are. of course. the Education Bill and the W'orkmen’s Compensation Bill' Around these two the fight is sure to wax hot. To both of these the House of Lords is known to be strongly Op- posed. Of all the mean hypocrites going these days the meanest is the one that profits by election frauds, and yet who pretends to know nothing about the 88.1138.

One Isaac i Emigh was charged by one ‘Villough- by with stealing fifteen dollars from him while sleeping off a debauch in one of the hotel stables. Before com- plaint was made Emigh had left for his home in Stratford, where he was followed by Constable Clark and brought here on Friday night. The evidence of the complainant was very crude, and even rude to the extent of profanity and could scarcely be ex- pected to carry much weight with the magistrates who dismissed the case for want of sufficient evidence for a' committal.
