NOTES AND COMMENTS ONTARIO. Montreal Witness. We doubt if any more brutal and altogether indefensible piece of parlia- mentary warfare has occurred in all parliamentary history than the hold-up of the estimates and of all the bnsinese of the country undertaken by the Con- servative party for no more worthy pur- pose than to secure to itself, in defiance of the priuoiplee of the constitution, the control of the electoral lists in Manitob a and other parte. It certainly is ancon• etitutional to demand for the Provinces the control of the parliamentary elec- toral lists, and if Parliament chooses to take these lists out of Provincial hande no one oan make any reasonable objec- tion, even if it took them into its own. But when the control of the lists is to be transferred entirely into the hands of the judges and thus placed out of the reach of political manipulation alto- gether, the demand of the Opposition becomes as egregious as their method of enforoing it is subversive of parliament- ary liberity. The most painful part of this outrage is that the leader of the Opposition, who has so far shown him- self an honorable statesman, should have been forced into it by a Provincial Government, with the aid of such sour- ed men as Mr, Foster and suoh a man as Mr. Taylor, whose prominence in the, Conservative party has never contri- buted to pnblio amenity. It cannot be supposed that the whole Ooneervative party is in sympathy with this ie mon f brigandage. There are many gentle in it, Whether these will make them- selves felt romaine to to be seen. (Toronto Globe,) It is worth while facing the political situation in Ontario squarely and with open eyes. The defeat in the Provincial election last week was a call for self- criticism to the Liberals. It was not an accident. It had its efficient causes. Same of these causes were within and some without the range and o decontrol o was the Liberal party. Bat the defeat that Liberals, while they may smile at the foolish arrogance of their opponents, would do well openly and fearlessly to take stook of themeel- ves and of their party, and so to turn seeming defeat into a new beginning and an assurance of ultimate triumph. There are observant andwiseaisefriends qns othe Liberal party who frankly that Liberalism in Ontario is still suffering from a too long lease of power which oloeed in a lowering f the politic it ideals and a weakening of the moral fibre. If that be true no defeat oan be a disaster it it sends the party back, and its leaders with it, to renew their vision and to pledge again their honest and uncomprised allegiance to the simple and eternil principles and ideals which in the days of its greatness made Liberalism a power in the land. The few who stand to profit will fight for mere power and place, but the rank and file of the people, in whom is the life of Liberaliem, will not fight long n against great odds except for a prin- ciple they cherish and for a cause they believe to be right. There are those, too, who attribute a large measure of last week's defeat to the active and organized antagonism of the liquor interests. The Whitney Government would have been sustained in any case, but its majority would in all probability have been reduced, per- haps very considerably reduced, had it not been for the well -directed and most effective work of its ally, the liquor traffic's organization. Beyond all ones• tion the ligaor interests almost, to a man and to the limit of their influence sup- ported the Government candidates. They had more to hope for from Con- servatives who stood for the three•fiftha handicap on local option than nrom Liberals, many of whom by pronounced conviction are known to be in favor the abolition of the barroom throughout Ontario. Aa never before, the liquor men, with their own campaign fund, their own organized machinery in near - 1y, every constituency, and their own ways of reaching voters, played a lead- ing part in the election. They made no noise or boasting, but in many cases they were more earnest and effective in getting out the vote than were the regular workers of either of the poli- tical parties. Is the end that alliance may prove inconvenient and hurtful to the Conservative party, bat lest week it helped to pile up the huge majority. And Liberals would do well to recognize the significant faot which last week's experience made unmistakably plain. The offioial figures in S of5G Perth give Mr. Stock a mejerity ver Hon. Nelson Monteith. Mr. Kellerman, the Liberal candidate made an excellent showing in South Huron, reducing the Conservative majority. In our last issue we reported North Bruce under the Conservative head. Full returns elect the old member, C. Bowman, Liberal, with a largely increased majority. In the light of Monday's elections, the gerrymander made during the heat ses- sion of the Legielative Assembly ap- pears to be all the more cowardly. For a Government with a majority of more than 40 to first load the dice and then challenge its opponents to a game of balloting is not a square deal. -Brant- ford Expositor. The Government will mske a strong endeavour this week to materially ad- vance the remaining badness of Parlia- ment for this session, and it is hoped that the obstructive tactics of the Op- position, which have been undergoing a gradual modification during the past few days, will be somewhat less in evi- dence during the balance of the session. The Seaforth Expositor in speaking of the contest in North Huron says: -"In North Huron, the second Conservative stronghold, it was thought that Mr. Carrie, the Liberal, might have a fight- ing chance, owing to disaffection in the Conservative ranks, over the treatment of 8fr. James Bowman, of Morris. This breech, however, was patched up. But Mr. Corrie had the satisfaction of reduc- ing the majority, which is not a little task, when the trend of the vote throughout the Province is taken into consideration." Is is estimated that the number of working people out of employment in New York is eqaal to two-thirds the population of Toronto. The situation in other American cities is compar- able with that of the greatest centre in the Union. In Germany the families of working men have meat on the table but once a week and in Berlin, with 1,125.000 persons in receipt of incomes from earnings or accumulations, only 25,000 receive $700 a year or more. The policy of protection has been parried farther in these two countries than the same policy has been carried anywhere else in the world. The fact that in the Uuited States and Germany distress is at present more acute than it is else- where makes it impossible to maintain the position that protection is an abso- lute guarantee of national prosperity. -Toronto Weekly Sun.

Another day will come to Ontario Liberalism. When the spasms of radi- calism that disturb Premier Whitney and the public -ownership tendencies of Mr. Beck are submerged by the innate Toryism that dominates the Govern- ment, and when the characteristic quali- ties revealed in "that last awful week" -the cowardice of the gerrymander, the ohioaner), of the Larose grant, the cor- poration -affinity of the Canadian North- h - ern guarantee, the doable dealing. power polioy-when qualities such as these have developed the day of oppor- tunity will come to the Liberals. If in the meantime the Liberal party has re - conceived its principles and renewed its strength, with strong men and a people's policy, the day of its triumph will far overmatch any defeat its records may show. If defeat was earned and had its relation to moral causes, victory when it comes will not be an accident, and the secret of it will be found in moral char- acter, moral enthusiasm, and the com- pelling power of a moral inane.
