WOULD BE A GREAT MORAL LESSON.. A Conservative victory in Ontario would teach politicians of all parties not to lean undnlyontheArm ofFlesh. If a Government with agood record, as Government records go in Canada, and upheld by the full strength of the Federal and provincial resources sizonld go down in defeat the result would signally illustrate the power- lessness of patronage and boodle and the power of the people. Some such lesson is sadly needed The people seemed to have taught the same good lesson to the politicians in June, 1890,. Short are the Memories of, all politicians, and the Liberals who were put in power by the people .im- mediately began to betray the in- terests which ought to have triumphed in their victory, and allowed their Government to come undertbecontrol of men in sympathy and interests identified with the corporations which had tried. to keepLaurier out of power.

WHITNEY'S SCHOOL POLICY. 1, Reform of the Public school sys- tem, so as to make of it what it was designed to be, a specific, substantive Institution for furnishing an educat- ion complete in itself to the youth of the . province, without any relation whatever to the . High or other schools. 2. Reduction in the price' of school books, the prices of which are now very much greater then they ought to be. 3. Reform of another evil of the Governuaeut's education system, namely, the manner in which they have allowed to be exacted enormous fees for examinations which were made the object of instead of incident to the educational course. 4. Reform of the practice of allowing frequent changes in text books, which has entailed enormous expense on parents for the benefit of friends of the Government.. 5, Mr. Whitney holds that neither Mr. Ross nor any other man is capable of dealing with all the minutiae of the educational system. For the purpose of properly directing this important branch of the goy ernnxenthe advocates a council of Education, composed of experts and representatives of every teaching class in Ontario. INTERESTING COMPARISON Visitors to the Legislative, building at Toronto during the session of the House in recent years could not fail to be struck with the great numbers of hangers-on' who tried to keep up an appearance of being busy. These were extra sessional writers and mes- sengers who put in a very profitable couple of months every year at the ex- pense of the people. The numberof sessional writers, messengers and pages employed in the Ontario Legislature at Toronto during the session of 1896, not including the permanent stain, was 121. The number of sessional' clerks, messengers and pages employed in the House of Commons and Senate at Ottawa during the session of 1895-96, the last session under the Conserv- ative rule, including French and Eng- lish sessional clerks, was 114. There are 213 members in the House of Commons and 78 in the Senate, making in all 291 representatives for whose services 114 extra officials were employed. In the Ontario Legislature there are 9:1 members, and these, under Mr. Hardy's economical management bad 121 extra officials placed at their ser- vice. In 1870; the last year of the SanfieId Macdonald administration, there were 88 members of the Legislature and they y managed to get along very well with only 26 extra sessional clerks, inessen- kers and pages, -r... A GREAT ARMY Or OFFICIALS. It will surprise the average elector to know that 'there are no less that 7,133 officials in this province appointed by the Mowat -Hardy Government: Of these 361 are provided with comfort- able berths in the Legislative Buildings at Toronto, 4,5Sd are on the pay sheet. of the province in the outside service, and 2,183 are appointed by the Pro- vincial Government but are paid direct- ly by the people either by salaries froin the municipal treasurer or by fees collected from 'the public. These figures are taken ' from the public re- cords of the Province and cannot be disputed. The total amount of salaries paid to those who are on the Provincial pay sheet is shown to be over a million and three quarters, or, with incidentals and contingencies, in round figures $2,000,000. To this may be added fully 81,000,000 more, paid by the munici- palities and in fees by the people, goes to the outside service.' which w S O that in reality the people of Ontario are : called upon to pay $8,000,000a year for salaries of officers, a vast number of whom are not required at all. This means a tax of $7.50 a year On every family in Ontario toFy n in salariesf Provrn ]al officials 0 o fici Is alone, not to mention the large amounts paid out to favored friends of theg ov- ernment for work done and supplies furnished at their own price without tender or contreact of any description.

Le Soleil, Pacand's paper in Quebec,gives the calculations of Mr. Hardy as regards to the result on March 1st. Of course avictory is predicted. But Se Soleil says the Local Government will lose Stormont, Glengarry, Price Edward, Centre Grey, East Hamilton, West Hastings, SouthHuron, West Kent, Lndon,' North Renfrew, North Wentworth, and the two Ottawas. Mr. Hardy is not telling half the story. SAUERKRAUT At the nomination in Hensall, on Monday, during the address by Mr.Henry Silber, of Crediton, soue ne in the audience, in answer to a quest- ion of what comprised incidentals, in a public account being discussed, sug-'mested sauerkraut. Wl e r '1 t e ]ateh u -ded as a joke or an insult to the Ger- mans, Mr. Eilber was a loss to know, but in blaming Mr. Lang,of Exeter, for making the remark, he mistook bis man. Those who profess to know state that the man who-ofered the insult was one McKay, of Tucker - smith. What opinion can Brother Dewart a superannuated methodist minister and the reform candidate of the methodist church in one of the Torontos, have of au administration that purchases with the public funds (vide public accounts, 1896, page 75) the following articles 53 packs playing cards $23.70 309 corkscrews 92.16 4 Testaments 1.7Mr Whitney's educational policy ought to command the support of every parent in the province,. especially of the farmers, as by its adoption the young people could obtain a satis- factory education at home, . without being subject to the temptations ici- dental to going front home, whilst parents would be saved the expense incurred in that regard. +x XThe entire official service of theprovince, from the highest to the hum- blest offices, isin the hands of various family cliques; not only are all • the brothers, sisters, uncles, and auntsfeeding at the public trough, but also cousins of remote degree, and the cousins of the cousins are always gath- ered around in force to seethatnaught however trivial, escapes the family grasp. The Ontario Government robbed the municipalities last year of $270,906 in connection with Liquor licenses. The total revenue for liquor licenses for 1897 was .$508,077. Th;e municipalities received $263,380. There was a time inthe history ofthe province when the revenue from licenses went into the municipal treasuries, where it should o now bv ri h s a lie eat t b tt t overnmg y 8 ghaving need of funds and party work-ers has changed the order of things and now reapsa double benefit.' -i- - •1- If William LyonMackenze lived to- day, and saw the Ontario .oligarchy serving out jobs to relatives and crea-ting situations for political friends by thehundred, he would think that; history was repeating itself in an aggra- vated form. The old family compact was not a circumstance to the new one, Sut we have the means of breaking up our Family Compact, and were William Lyon Mackenzie living he veonld advise iteformers to lay aside party feeling and help in the good work..- In 1870 the slaries and wages of the employes of the Ontario Governrnent took $495,299. In, 1897 the same expenses called for $1,731,200 of the pro-vince's money. The increase is some of"th'e Hardy Government's work.

Thus, wherever the, use of native boats is now permitted by treaty,' foreigners will; be equally allowed to employ steamers or steam lanarohes, whether owned by thein or by the Chinese. In View of the groat importance attached by Great Britain to the retention of the Yang -Tse region in Chinese possession, the Chinese Govern- ment has formally intimated to the Brit- ish Government that there can be no question of the territory in the valley or region of the Tang -Tse being mortgaged, leased or ceded to any power, The post of Inspector -General of Maritime Cus- toms, in the future as in the past, shall be held by a British subject so long as.

It says: "If limited to where we by treaty are permitted, the Yang -Tse, between Ye -Hang and Claim - King, where there are difficult and dan- gerous rapids, we can scarce suppose, howevtr, ° that :the concession is' so limited." FRANCE AND ENGLAND. Lord Salisbury Beads a lteassuring An- nouncement, Recoiv'ed From the Paris Ambassador, in the Upper House. London, Feb. . 28. -The Marquis of Salisbury in the House of Lords yesterdaj said: "My Lords, before moving the ad journment perhaps it would he conveni- ent that I should road a telegram received from Sir Edmund Monson (the British Ambassador at Paris) with reference to matters which have excited some atten- tion: `I placed in the hands of M. Rano- taux, the French Minister for Foregin Affairs, as soon as I could obtain anin- terview, a note drawing attention to the report published this morning of a French advance into Sokoto. I said that if the report was correct the news must be re garded as of a very serious character. " 'M. Hanotanx replied that be had no knowloclgo of any such proceedings, and that if anything of the kind had occurred it must have been done not only without the orders of tho.11rench Government, but against: their wishes and instructions, as they had no desire to approach Sokoto. Ho said hedid nob believe the news was true, and he has since oommunicated to me the assurance that there are no. French troops in that region.' The reading of the despatch was re- ceived with cheers. 1MI. Eanotaux Ambiguous. London,Feb. 28. --The Times, comment- . ing editorially on the statement of Lord Salisbury in the.
