In 13 l3 A significant feature of the campaign so far, is the way the Laurier Cabinet is falling to' pieces. The late dissolution of? Parliament followed a violent! row between members of the Gov-. ernment in which it is said that blows were exchanged. The ven- erable Minister of Finance is said to have received an upper-cut iol the scuffle which necessitated :11 messenger being sent out for leeches in order to remove the ef- fects of a black eye. Mr. Field-- ,ing is not unaccustomed to leech- es, as this species of the human variety have been infesting‘ Ottaâ€" wa ever since the Laurier Govern- ment came to power.

What will be- come of Mr. Oliver is still a ques- tion still in the lap of the gods. hut he has been certainly discred- ited before the country by the recent hasty dissolution of Parlia- ment,â€"â€"a dissolution evidently de- cided upon for the express purâ€" p.‘se of preventing any examina' tiz’vn into the serious charges pending against the Minister of the Interiar l Alen entered pullic life a bitter; partisan. hut otherWise a man of high ideals and patriotic inscint-t-‘d He rendered distinguished se1‘1‘ice' to the country in the recent fishâ€"i eries arbitration at the Hague. and i was knighted in the Innmrial’, (1:11 ernment. \Ot11 that Andi 1:1 his deafness he is Well qua ified; fo1 his position. and it is 1111 UPC'J seeiet that he entered the Cab-i inet expecting to 1e1nain in it as. long as Sir Wilfrid Laurier re-‘, mained in po11‘er.

He 91 en fathered the Ne11 market can- a1 now generallw known as A1 lesâ€" worths ditch. But the la111 er Ewho defends criminals does not 7.11am to be associated with them. Sir Alen has doubtless become dis- gusted at the universal corruption around him. He is also too good a Canadian to give a hearty sup- port t-o the reciprocity agreement. Under all the circumstances it is not surprising that he leaves the Government, shaking the dust off his feet as he returns to his law practice in Toronto. He is quot- ed as saying that he prefers civil practise anyhmv. Hon. Geo. P. Graham, Minister of Railways, is running again in Brockville, with many elements of Opposition to him. The Farmers Bank failure and the Grand Trunk strike are local factors which will strongly militate against the‘ genial minister again sitting jn' Parliament. Moreover, reCiprocity his a heavy load for him to carry. lAt the convention which nominat- led -Mr. Graham, an appeal was lmade to the delegates present to I show their belief in reciprocity by !standing up.- Only two-thirds of ‘those present complied with the request. These men who attended lthe convention were faithful party men and personal friends of Mr. Graham. If one-third of these are opposed to reciprocity, it is a fair surmise that fully one-half of the Liberals in the riding of Brockville are Opposed to it. Mr. Graham had a small majority last time, and it will bea most as- tounding feat if, handicapped as he is in thiscampaign. he manages to secure a re-electi-on.. ind made himself out an anti-| tilitarist. The peorle believed“ that this ygmng philosopher was expressing his real convictions, and Would' stand by them, .and therefore supported him at the polls. They were astounded a few months later, when, as a .mem~ ’ her of the Laurier Government he assisted in foisting a navy upon this country. It is hard to get the confidence of a German, hard‘ to lose it, and impsosihle to regain it when once it has been lost. Mr. King will never joil'y this part of his constituency again. And in addition to this other trouble, he is confronted with the bitter hos- tility toward reciprocity which naturally exists in the big manuâ€" facturing centre of Berlin. Finally in Nova Scotia. we have the spectacle of Sir Frederick Bor- den, one. of the. D'li'nisters. prepar- |ing .to leave the Cabinet to l~ecome 'Hig‘h Commissioner at London. ‘while his colleague. Mr. Fielding. is wandering around in search of ‘2 seat. It is praciically certain that the latter cannot be {again elected in Queens and Shelâ€" ! burne. Mr. R. L. "Barde‘n will be on the ,stump continuoust for the five weeks before the election. He will nut go west of Lake Suneiim‘ but “ill thoroughly canxass Ontario, the Maritime Provinces, and a l”).'l'llOil of Quebec.

In On»! tario, the reports received at headquarters from all over the province are most encouraging; 1 Certain constituencies now held by the Liberals are virtually hand- ed over to the Conservative can-l didates; thus for example no Lib- ieral here contends that his party} i can hold the districts of Stormon-L lGlengarry, or West Peterborough. iOther districts that might be nam- led. long' represented by Liberals, are in much the same condition, {including BI‘OCkVIHB and Kingâ€" lcede a Conservative gain of five lin Ontario, but that the gain will not be less than ten is generally predicted.
