f ae k DURHAM REVIEW.! Going to press earlier last week on account of Thanksgiving Day we were too sodn to notice the retirement of Premier Hardy and the eleyation of Mr. Ross to the Premiership. The retirement of Mr. Hardy has\ been expected for some time by his triends, because his health has shown\ signs of breaking up, causing enforced absence from pressing duties; by his opponents because it is alleged, politicâ€" al corruption is pressing at his door. Mr. Hardy in giving his reasons for the step denies that his resignation has been caused by these allegations, but says they haye deferred it. He speaks out in healthy denunciation of the corrupting methods employed at some recent elections and disclaims for himself, for prominent Reformers and indeed for all true Reformers, particiâ€" pation in the dirty work. . This will not prevent mudâ€"throwing by partiâ€" zans on the opposite side though his explicit declaration should be weighty enough to dull the edge of criticism. After all Mr. Hardy retires full of honor. To have been a member of the government for about a quarter of a century, to have had a share in the progressive â€" legislation which â€" has made this the premier province of the Domuinion, and almost the only British self governing community in the world, with a surplus instead of a deâ€" ficit, is in itself no light honor, Mr. Hardy will tower above his detractors, and is entitled after so many years of brilliant seryice, to public recognition. Thursday, October 26, 1899. Hon. Arthur Sturgis Hardy was} born at Mount Pleasant, County of Brant, December 14, 1837, and is the descendaat of United Empire Loyalist stock. â€" The tuture statesman attended a private academy at Mount Pleasant; graduated to the Grammar School of Brant County, and passed on to the academy at Rockwood. _ He took up the study of law and was attached to the office of Harrison and Hodgins in Toronto. _ In 1865 he was called to the bar and began practice in Brantâ€" tord. In 1867 he became city solicitor tor Brantford. The year previous he was elected bencher in the Law The following brief sketch of his career is from an exchange : C. Ramage, Society and created Q, C. In 1873 Mr. Hardy was elected member of Parliament for South Brant. and in 1875 he was elected by acclamation trom the same constituency. In Maich, 1877, he entered the Ontario Administration as Provincial Secretary and Registrar. Mr. Hardy continued nis successful beginning ‘in politics from portfclio to portfolio, and in 1896 was made Premier of Ontario. His successor to the premiership, the 1 Hon. (i. W. Ross, has been long beâ€" fore the Ontario public as Minister of Education, in which department his work has been such as to secure honors from foreign juages, win the admiration of his friends, and compel the respect of his foes. _ Again and again he bhas beenr attacked, camâ€" paigns of exceeding bitterness have been waged against him, little men whose capacity was not capable of judging his work, stood on tiptoe to fling stones at him, but he has come through it all, has lived down his detractors, and can look with pride on the edifice of the Ontario Educational System as a structure with fewer taults than is commonly to be found in other provinces and countries. Beginning life as a teacher in the lowest grades, he worked steadily upwards, was appointed Inspector of Public Schools, and then of Model Schools in which position his work was of great value. His educational career having been crowned by his appointment of Minister of Education, it only remained to him to reach the top of political preterment by the appointment just made. The ministry as now arranged is as below, and that they are capable men, no one in the light of past actions can deny. Whether they will be able to perpetuate the long series of Liberal successes in elections when next they go to the country, is still to be seen, but without doubt, the development of new Ontario especially, would be safer in their bands. than in the hands of any possible ministry in sight on the opposite side : Messrs. J. T. Garrow and Wm. Harty. Saturday‘s Globe gives the following cast of the New Ministry, with reâ€" inarksadded: â€" c: : . â€" _ _â€" Premier and Proviacial Treasurerâ€" Hon. Geo. W. Ross.

This would leave Mr. § | Ross comparatively free to devote himâ€" n | self to the duties of the Premiers hip. The first meeting of the new Cabâ€" | With heavy losses on both sides. There is abundance of war news to satisfy the most sanguinary of readers. ‘The contest so far is altogether unlike the Spanishâ€"American war. Britain has a far more powerful land enemy than the Yankees had, and the conâ€" flict promises to be a desperate, PCrâ€" haps a bleody one. TnHnurspay. October 19th. _ News from Mateking show that the place though still surâ€" rounded is holding out bravely, the moral effect of the generalship shown in the blowing up of the Boers by sunken mines, has been good and every day things are happening that destroy the bumptious feeling that "‘one boer is as good as ten Englishâ€" men." British cavalry patrols report forces converging on Ladysmith. Native tribes are invariably chatfâ€" ing to get at the Boers and Britain, though pleased to have their friendâ€" ship, is anxious that no barbarous warfare should shock the world. In the British House of Commons yesterday the militia reseryes were called out. This has occassioned great surprise, and sets men guessing whethâ€" er the authorities fear a clash with Europe. The Irish members, with a fatuous disloyalty oppose the Government while the Liberals drop all criticism in the meantime in the face of Kruger‘s insult. The work of filling up the Canadian Contingent goes bravely on, and in the cities enthusiasm runs high. Fripay. News comes that Vryburg has surâ€" rendered to the enemy. The police withdrew, and possession was taken without loss of life. This place lies south of Mateking and north of Kimbâ€" erlv. c Confirmation of successes at Mafeâ€" king has been reccived. Interest is now centering on Natal, in the east, however, where a great concentration seems to be taking place. _ _ _ These carious armored trains are doing good work one of them engagâ€" ing 500 Boers who "suffered heavily." ‘The British authorities are restrainâ€" ing war correspondents, and are going into the news business themselves, censoring all news in South Africa, and issuing bulletins at home. Captain Nesbett and a party on an armored train were captured, but are being well treated, Kruger says. _ Volunteer patrols met with 2000 Boers yvesterday and succeeded in killing 16 of them. Though in imâ€" minent danger themselyes they esâ€" caped largely owing to bad shooting by the Boers. Hot cross firing in the British parâ€" liament over the war. _ Bannerman says animmosity will be increased a hundred fold by slaughtering each other. Chamberlain says racial anâ€" imosity is based on contempt, and better teelings will prevail when each respects the other. Both agree of course no retreat row. SAaATURDAY. Most important news toâ€"day since the opening of hostilities. The historâ€" ic name of Glencoe, will have in futâ€" ure a new and better association. True, there was slaughter at both, but in this later (ilencoe, it was a fair and standâ€"up fight, and against odds the British bhave won a signal victory over valiant enemies though at heavy loss. o ty (Glencoe is in natal, 40 miles north of Ladysmith, and yery near the Transvaal border. Boers to the numâ€" ber ot 5 to 8 thousand secured a positâ€" ion on a hill to the north of the British Camp and commenced firing their artillery with which they are well supplied. The British cannon replied in kind and forced them to desert their guns, the infantry then pressed torward and up the hill under a withâ€" ering fire, the attacking regime nts being the Dublin Fusiliers and the King‘s Royal Rifles. The hill is said to be ‘"‘almost inaccessible" but up it they went, and the Boers, amazed stunned turned and fled, and all their guns are in the hands of the British, a large number of prisoners are taken, among them many Hollanders, Gerâ€" mauns and French. This is the glory part: the gory part shows 250 British killed and wounded and 800 Boers. : sds ;z;v;'&‘_iriumph rolled oyer the { Rainfall for the week 0.9 inch.
