is on foot to deprive them of that
right by means of a pettyfogging
legal technicality, and that, the Lib-

BASEBALL BOOMING.

Is AccEt'TED.
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

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

of Imperial Federation. 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

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

When the fate of governments and the result of last week's elections in

NOTES.
Last but not least British Columbia
has wheeled into line. While tt may
be admitted that party lines, as
understood in the East are not so
British Columbia has put the affairs
of that Province in the hands of men
who have been largely trained in the
Liberal school and whose post record
warrants the country in looking for
the Pacific Province has made no
mistake in the men she has placed in
authority and while the new Govern-
ment might have been better for
somewhat stronger support, still
worse things can happen to afovern-
went than have a strong and watch-
fill Opposition.
