Mr. Meredith's Platform. To keep the expenditure of the province within the limits of the rev - trate. To give to the poor voter the protect- ion of an absolutely secret ballot. To take the control of education and the sehools out of politics. To destroy the power of Govern- ment appointees to collect campaign funds from liquor license holders. To put the public lands on the same basis as the other assets of the province so that they may not be disposed ot without the assent of the representat- ives of the public in the Legislature. • To take measures to conserve and maintain the forest wealth of the prov- ince. Sao promote the development of its mineral wealth. takTo reduce the expenditure by abolish- • ing Government house. t iTo hold only biennial sessions of the. Legislature. NOTES AND COMMENTS Tin political fight is beginning to tell on the weak-minded. An editor in an adjoining county has gone crazy. • x x x Rif, says the Welland Telegraph, there eeally is a Provincial surplus, why has the Mowat Government borrowed all these millions to meet current expenses? The question. will be found a difficult one to answer. x x x Ontario Liberal campaigners would have a better time of it if doubting Thomases would not ask for particulars about the Mowat surplus. The more • they try to make it visible, the more does it appear that it is not there. x x Mr. McIntyre, the independent can- didate in Ottawa, has joined those who demand a readjustment of the appro. priation :divided between High .and Public schools. The question promises to be a live one in the next Legislature no matter which party holds power. x The American coal miners' strike is becoming more serious every day. Se- vere fighting has occurred at several points and already more lives have been lost than were sacrificed by the Canadian troops in putting down the Northwest rebellion. x x x Liberal politicians and papers assert that the Patron andLiberal platforms are similar. The similarity, however, has not prevented the Liberals from op- posing Patron candidates in every county in Ontario where both had made a choice of candidates, except in two cases where the Patron candidate haa • been endorsee. by the Liberals. • x x x The Farmer's Sun, the Patron's organ, reports that Mr. Horsman's prospects of defeating Sir Oliver Mame in North Oxford, are very bright. At Brown's school house and at Lakeside, meetings called in the Premiers interest resulted in favor of the Patron's -candid- ate. At the latter meeting it is seicl. that"• about two to one Were in favor of florsman." x The counter affarlivits in the case against lar,Dryden, who even purchased stock for the htodel Farm to secure votes for the Government, do not put the Minister of Agriculture in any bet- ter light than he was before. The fact remains undisputed that Mr. Mackie, according to Mr. Dryderas own state - had threatened to bolt from the Libertelperty ; and that as a means of preventing this defection, the coming Minister told Prof. Shaw that the dis- gruntled breeder "must not be over- looked in making the next purchase" • for the Model Parrn, There was a /Mai ht order to Use the public patron- age fo the purpose of securing I/althea!, support, Governor McKinley reports that g, 400 troops are under arms in Ohio for the porpOee reetrattring the- striking miners. Thie sbouttlie same number , as was required to put down the North- West relielliOn. x x The abelition Of the egg duty is One ot the advantages Canada will derive under the reformed U. tareif. With thisstax off the Dominion ought to send $a 000,000 worth of hen fruit to the American market every year. x x The Urine' who has wooded land has sense .enough these days to keep it. If he were orced to sell the wood in order to keep a mortgage off his place, he. would regard the circumstance as a mis- fortune1. yet this is precisely what Mr. Mowat is doing, and on a very large scale, in order ta meet the expense of a wasteful Government. x x Sir Oliver Mowat says only a small sum will be saved by the abolition of Govern meat House. > That is the plea that a spendthriftalways urges when seeking to justifyan extravagance. But as a mat- ter of fact, observes the Toronto News (independent), the sum involved le not a areal one. The expenditure on this useless institution is equal to two-thirds the amount spent in aiding the poer schools in the newer sections or the Provinoe, x x x Ontario cannot afford to dismiss Sir OliverMowat,seys Principal Grant, who is the head of one ot the several separate universities that Sir 011yer Mowat has either brought into existence or else encouraged by State aid. As Principal of Queen's Univeratty Prof. Granb has in the past appealed to the Government for aid to that institution, and he nu doubt expects to appeal to Sir Oliver Mowat in the same behalf in the future. That is why it is alleged Ontario cannot afford to dismiss Sir Oliyer x x A capital of $12,000,000 a rest of $6,000,000 ; a profit on the year's oper- ations of $1,313,000, and $30,000,00 0 on deposit. These are the leading fea- tures in the annual report of the Bank of Montreal just published, Th e immense deposit proves that the bank still has the public confidence and the earnings and rest account show that this confidence is fully justified. While the facts set must be gratifying to the shareholders they are also a cause of satisfaction to the public generally be- cause the abundant prosperity of the chief financial institution of the Dom- inion is fairly good evidence that the Dominion, itself las been but slightly affected by a world-wide depression. • x x x So far the Liberals have put up 76 straight candidates in the 94 con- stituencies. The Conservatives will op- pose them straight in 58, while the Patrons are fightingfor 47 seats. Their are also 18 independent candidates in. the field, including Mr. Campbell, of East Durham. Yet in only 13 ridinas are three cornered fights going to take place.. In 30 constituencies the fight is be- • tween the two old parties, in 1:8 the Patrons are opposing Liberals, and in 5 they are opposing Conservatives. In each of 6 constituencies there is yet but one candidate. Of these the Patrons have the field in 3, the Conservatives in 2, and the Liberals Of the 18 inde- pendents 4 only are in three -cornered. fiehts. x x x Word has been received that the 0. P. R. authorities had announced that until further notice trains on the line would run no further than Calgary and. the mountain division of the 0. P. R. would he closed up. The Rickine Horse river broke loose ern Sunday and the damage done is &to great to:estimate. It is said by some that it will be fully three months before communication can, be hail with British Columbia. The track for mites has been washed away and several bridges altogether destroyed. The telegraph line is down and any telegraphic news from the coast has been transmitted by way of San Francisco. The Northern Padfic and Great Northern Railways are suffering in a similar way. Advices state that all the lowlands are inundat- ed by the rising of the Kootenai and Columbia rivers and distress amongthe tanners is very great. • x x x Speakers on behalf of the Govern- ment sneer at anOpposition that based its attacks ontheGovernment on a purchase of a 'few groceries' at a cent or two a pound, above market price, and Sir Oliver Mowat also gently chaffed at the same charge. Sir Oliver Mowat knows that the evil complained of is not tin - important. He knows that citron pee i and. vinegar are but used as examples by the Opposition in condemning a system Under which the Province loses in the neighborhood $100,000 every year, Take the case of TorOntoAsyltztnaldne. Over $601000 worth of supplies are an- nually purchased for that institution, and of these, so far as the public ac- counts show, only about $14,000 are obtained under contract, The rest are all bought "from friends of the party" at prices fixed by those friends. • Near - !sr .S5,000 worth of clothing is purchased' in this way ; over the same amount in groceries is so bought and the purchase of meat by private bargain aggregates upwards of $12,000. On the entire outlay on Supplies in thie one iturbitu- ,tion it is safe to say that the Province Loses annually, Owing to favors shown friend's of the Government, about $10,- 000. And the Toronto Asylum is only one of about a dozenpublic institutions in which a aimitar system prevails, Gov. ernment speakers may sneer at the coat of a "few groceries" as they will, But the tpeopla .of Oritari,o are likely to look upon a less of $100,000 a year as a a very serious matter, -Toronto New COXEYITES DROWNED' 'TRUAX Rov OAS% T/se Rev.

Behind were the mountains, down whose stone.bound sides ioaring torrents leaped and sprung from rock to rock like living things, and away up on the mountain tops were the fatal snows, omens of evil, but marvelously beautiful. Moving abent the trees were every conceivable kind of crafts, manned by people of the town, who *ere steadying their boats by- pushing long poles into the mud. They stood staring at our boat with dull eyes, dogged and careworn faces. Two houses and a general store floated out towards the steamer, but the People of the buried,. • town never spoke, never moved, they were too wretched, too desperately indifferent to ask for assistance. The steamer hur- ried its passengers away from the silent, grim visaged waifs of the floating forest, and in another moment deck hands and passengers were pulling a herd of swine from the waters that had tumbled off a raft rocked by the waves from the steamer. Soon Mission City Was reached and a quantity of provisions was put off by the relief company. The populace of Mission are noted for their politeness, and certain- ly one remarkable scene did occur. Half a dozen men strolled leisurely along the front street up to their waists in water. Here they met a lady in a canoe, they paused, doffed their derbys and entered into a quiet chaff. VANO0UVER, B. C., June 12. -Engineer Tracy came through from Ashcroft by handcar, steamer, raft, train and tramway on Saturday night., being the first paean - ger from the east in a week, He reports it was cloudbursts up the line which tore away the track and trestle work at Pennys and Gladwin. Half a million dollars. worth of govern- ment bridges have been washed away on the Thompson, Bow and Columbia rivers. There are washouts at Savonas, Ashcroft and Lytton, and at Kicking Horse Pass. Hell Gate, which is one hundred feet above low tide, is out of sight. A number of letters have been sent to the newspaphrs asking for relief and signed "Sappliant." The distress in many die ttictii is very great. The newspaper correspondents havd been accusedofsending out exaggerates actounts of disasters. This, however, ie not Correct, the accounts, under the cir • cumstances, being 'mostly accurate. So far the death roll, as far as is known and not proved. to be incorrect, is: MeTavish, Canadian Pacifies railway employe; child of Peter Brown at Langley, swept away by the floods 'from the veranda of its father's house; five bodies, alleged to have been seen by two passengers on a flood - bound train, and repoeted to the captain of the steamer Transfer, who wired the news to a friend and so reached the news- papers; three Chinese and -two Indians, also seen floating in the river, lan.deel in the debris, and the reported finding, by the postmaster at Hammond, of the bodies at Henan. The woman found at Haney is said to be about 50 years old, with grey hair. The children are about 6 and 4 years old. At New Westminster the water has not risen any more, but the mills and the lower town are still flooded. There are bad washouts on the tram line between there and Vancouver. The West Home Island people are alarmed by the fact that the' river bank is being washed away and dis- appearing like melting sugar. •All the settlers in the district are out• working night and day strengthening the banks. The serious damage has only recently been commenced to be felt. The loss from the &tide has been very heavy. From a dozen other small places come the reports•that the houses are being ttudermined and washed bodily clown the river, several of them being handsome three-story country residences. At tvtro places along the line, where passengers are detained, they are fishing out of the car windows and supplying a slim larder with emelt, herring and other varieties of the finny tribe. •The Chinese merchants are subscribing handsomely to the relief fund, all of them in Vancouver donating. There are no exceptions, every man in business is contributing according to his means. The Canadian Pacific people are unable to say positively when they can transfer passengers across the continent. They may be able to -day to get the passengers as far as Kamloop ,s but as the wires are still deem little is known of the condition the track east of that.
