THE tory editors are repeating with tiresome monotony that "if" the constables have a right to vote the courts should be depended upon to vindicate it. There is no "if" about it. The constables "right" to vote is undoubted, but a movement is on foot to deprive them of that right by means of a pettyfogging legal technicality, and that, the Lib- eral Government will in no wise per- mit.

The following challenge, signed by henry James, manager Clipper 'base ball club, Brussels, appeared in the alai! and Empire un Tuesday : "I was somewhat surprised to read in your sporting columns the much heralded victory of rhe Wingham mase ball team against Brussels, at Blyth, on July 12th. We admit de- feat on that oceasion by the seole of to 13, but we will not permit them to think it was their playing that did it, but through the ignor- ance of the umpire, who knows as little of the rules of baseball as any person who ever occupied that posi- tion We admit we had on Parry, but there are ethers who do the same trick, not leaving out Wingham. l the Government We are also of the opinion we can A 13ILLIANT IDJSA. beat the same team woo played for Then the brilliant idea struck the Wingham v ith the same boys who Conservative managers to object to played fur Brussels on July 12th. the vote of the election constables, \Ve t, re also prepared to back our who are naturally supposed to be opinion with any part of ?10U, and Uovernment supporters.

Ur.

When the Brussels ball i.ossers accuse bun of any unfairness in the matter, they do so malignant- ly. Now then, dear Manager James, if yon are really in earnest and want to play Ring ham for $ 100 a side, the citizens of Blyth will put up a urse of $25, to be given to the win- ing team it' the game is played here - Think it over, ye Brussels and Wing. Ilam leather hunters, and let us here from you." The Wingham boys have sent the following to the Mail and Empire : SIR:—We notice the challenge issued by Brussels baseball club in Tuesday's Mail and Empire. They admit playing an outsider, Parry. Why not admit that the pitcher also was an outsider. Wingham played all home men and not its strongest taani either. Whilst not desiring to lawer the noble game by making challenges for money, yet if Brussels tr sebatl club is anxious to lose some money, we will play them. Each club playing bona fide local men :tnd no others. This is fair And will prevent either club bringing in ringers, Manager James has had ail the say, but he must remember there are others that have a say in r(gard to the Conditions.

While it is true that may Imperialists have been for years engaged in endeavoring to bring about this much desired reform notably Mr. Henniker Heaton, it is equally true that Humor nu progress has been recently made ; and it was therefore entirely due to the deter- mined advocacy of Postmaster Gen- eral Mulock, carried even to the extent of threatening to withdraw from the Conference, if the official opposition was not modified, that victory has been secured. The difficulties m the way were very real, but,the reputation which Canada has made during the last two years in Imperial circles enabled her representative to overcome all obstacles. There is something peeu- liarly angenerous in the deliberate attempt of a section of their political opponents to detract from the ree.l value ot this latest service which the Liberal Government has rendered to Canada, by making the absurb claim that the credit was practically due to their predecessors and one or two sympathizers in old London. THE YUKON ADMINISTRATION. It is with very general satisfaction that Canada receives the announce- ment of Mr. Win. Ogilvie's appoint- ment as successor to Major Walsh at the head of the newly organized Yukon administration. The country and the Government alike• are for- i tunate fo securing the services of a man so peculiarly qualified for the work and with such exceptional credentials as to character. While his predecessors, the pioneers of good government in that far away dis- trict, have worked faithfully and efficiently, and while the sensational stories propagated by political ad- versaries have carried little weight with thoughtful readers in the ab sense of more reliable testimony, it will require a bold man, of more than average recklessness, to con- tinue to circulate similar stories, with Mr. Ogilvie at the head of affairs. Major Walsh has done well, and Mr Ogilvie will continue the good woi k; his subordinates individually and collectively have been chosen with an eye to peculiar fitness for their individual duties and the pursuers of the terrible Siftcn will have to start off on another track. WILL WITHHOLD THE SUBSIDY. The Federal Government has notified the C. P. R. that a lieu will be placed upon the subsidy to which they are entitled on account of the Crow's Next Railway until Ottawa, July 16th, 1805 The sadden call from Ontario's Premier for the newly elected Leis• lature to assemble within the next two weeks has proved the all -ab sorbing topic of interests in Eastern Canadian politics this week, and the unexpected summons created as much commotion as the proverbial bolt from the blue. Whilst several mat ters of provincial importance may be dealt with by the House, there is no doubt that the supreme Interest of the Session will centre aruun'i the vestion of the right of election con- stables to exercise their franchise. For thirty years they have voted like any other citizen and with as little question of qualification as the de- puty returning officers and poll clerks, and other public officials, but at the election last March the vote in many places was so very close that the change ot' a few votes in eight or ten eonstituences would have turned out Legislature to disqualify them, or that by any commou-sense interpre- tation of the law they could be disqualified or that any public bene - tit could be secured or public interest, bountiful yield of the fruits of the earth this year. Favored on every hand by a benignant Providence, by prudent administration and renewed energy and enterprise.in her people, Canada to -day stands second to none, I e as the ideal home for the capitalist, the farmer, the manufacturer, the GROCER, I R 1 1"u . mechanic, and the laboring man.

That Mr. _Hardy's strong and un- expected counter-move will effect- ually cneek-&nate this scheme is Very evident from the hysterical hubbub that was created in the Conservative camp by the calling of the Legisla• tare, Mr. Whitney's reply to the Premier's memorandum strikes one as peculiarity lacking in effective argument. Three quarters of the document is simply a statement of the case from the Opposition leader's stand point and contains neither proof nor argument and the only actual reply to the case for the Government begins almost in the last paragraph hut breaks of at the end of the first line with the remark that ` titne and space will not permit a full explanation." closely recognized on the coast, still When the fate of governments and the result of last week's elections in the inherent rights of the people are at stake, the recognized leader of the self-appointed champions of civil liberties should not consider time and space.
