THE LIBERAL NOMINATION.
1t has been freely stated that not
only did the Conservative Berry-
mander',chem', aim to maks two safe
Conservative seats in this county, but
by throw -int two Liberal-IeAndidates
into the "hive" it was hoped to int.•
duce strife among the Liberals' of the
riding and set *till further advance the
Conservative party interest. if this
. was a part of the Conservative plan,
it hat, wboliy'fiiirf of effect.1 Knott
fog that nomination by the Liberal
,patty of Centre Hutou is prtietically
4gWyale+� to elections it-, was natural
• that then should be a sharp contest
sinong the aspirants for the honor.
This was the case: but while the con-
test was keen, and the result indeed
very close, the convention at 8eeforth
on Tutted", was gymarked •hy the
splendid feeling which prevailed aid
by the cordial _manner•in which the
contestants epted the decision of
the meeting.

THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
A conspicuous failure of the Whit-

At the very beginning a grafi• mis-
take was made in placing at the head
of the Department of Education a
man wholly unfitted for the position.

1 tOne of the great cb,tpgaato ba wade
when, Mr. - iVRlNtey assumed office
wase the creation of a board 0/repre-
sentative educationists to which the
Minister
of Education atwn would look for
advice and information m all Import-
ant rjepurtut•er, 'rhe teachers of the
Province, who foltethat their experi-
etnfe. +truly their first-hand knowledge
wine pf amble vakte, had tong claimed,
with much force, that their wishes
and recenutueudatione were nott
treated with suMcient consideration.
Mr. 1Vhitney's Government wag to
remedy all this with an Advisory
Council. We have „the .-••Advisory
Council," but so Ler the prospect of its
being 'allowed to have auy practical
fluence in the determining of the
e ucational policy of the Province it
remote and nebtnholrs. In regard to
Pntue of the tu.a.y important de-
partures of the last three years.
the Advisory Council hew not. been
consulted et all, and in regard to
other matters its advice haw been
asked only in a'perfunctory manner.
One thing for which the present Ad-
ministration can he heartily com-
mended is the large increase in the
appropriations for educational puts
poses. From the' public echoed to the
University the etlucationel inatitu-
tiuus of the Province have ;benefited
by 'the more liberal policy of the prem.
ma Government., Even here, how-
ever, the Government has not escaped
reaeonisle eriticism in regard to its
metharre There is a good deal of
sympathy with Mr. MacKay's core-
tention that the yrovincial moneys
granted to the ('niversity eit Toronto
should he placed in the e;tineat's

lature as are other money. grant+.

A blunder of piiiezeng'propurth.ns
was the legislation in o'gltrl to the
salaries of rural school teachers.
Though the Uovetnmettt has receded
