If the Liberal party has no better explanation for the West Huron bye - election incident than was given -or not, given -by the deputy returning elacer at Ottawa to -day, Mr Holmes, the member who has a re- putation for honor and upright char- acter, should resign the seat which seems to have been Won for him by the peripatetic manipulators who have brought so much disgraceon the party that has always protested its own purity and proclaimed its op- ponents' sins. ' The Liberal Government has a re- cord which should .conamitnd success, and it can retain power without re- sort to stupid dishonesty at, the polls. It wonld be manly to frankly admitthe offences of the heelers and bounce them from the party, but to struggle against the revelations and allow the exposures only after despe- sate opposition will merely. inereale -Toronto Star. a....111••••••• WHAT PARLIAMENT IS VOTING.

The threatened expenditures will reach the tidy sum of $60,000,000. "I:say,- said Sir Richard Cartwright, it isa. disgrace and a shame to the • Government that bas been entrusted with our affairs that they come down to us and ask for an expendi- ture of $88,000,000 a year for Federal • purposes. Sir. the thing is utterly unjustifiable," Yet Sir. Richard votes the $00,000,000 without a word. THIS IS COOL This was Sir Richard Cartwrights statement when he was seeking office: "For my own part I do not hesitate to tell him (the Finance Minister) that I consider a yearly expenditureof $4,00- 000,000, or $38,000,000, altogether too large for the resources of Canada. "I say it is a disgrace and a shame to the Government that has been en- trusted with our affairs that they coine down to us and ask for an ex- penditure of $38,000,000, a. year for Fed- eral purposes. "Sir, the thing is utterly unjustifi- able. "Sir, there is very little use for honorable gentle/nen whinning over this matter. "They ought to try and meet it and the way to meet it is to reduce our present 'eStablishinent to reduce your present extravagant mode of Gey- er/II:tient and to reduce your enctnaVt: gant ideas. "I have said before, and I vepaatit • that $38,000000 is, in my judgment, a monstrous sum for this people to be called on to provide for. And this is the report the Toronto Globe new mikes: "Canada's running expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, • are estimated at $51,783,895 by the Minis- ter of Finance. The main estimates brought down by Hon. W. S. Fielding in April last, were for $46,286,550, of which $4,753,252, were chargea•ble to t, capital. Lastyetu- the total amount voted was $47,A00,487.

The Grits, because they have not had the appointment of the major- ity in the Senate, have never had a • good, word for that branelnof the lege islatureATo ehow their want of 'ape proclaim, or eontempt for the Sene Me, they have delighted, froanthe low- est to highest, of them, to denominate a conclave of "old grannies." That venerable body of mature gentlemen is showing itself very active,. and, searching in its inquiries into the sort of legislation passed by the Com- mons ih these days. It is now ackn OW - ledged that it saved the country :large sums of mouey and vast areas of gold bearing territory in the Yukon regions by the rejectima last year et the im- mature, and illy -advised Mann -Mac- kenzie, railway project to the Klon- dike and the Drummond railway deal. This latter project came np again this session in a modified form, and after amending it io a very important 'Arta-, cular, the Senate passed it • and returned it to the 0011.1111011S for acceptance as ammended, which was done and the wisdom of the amendment readily acknowledged. Now they have rejected the Gritgerry- Wander Bill, and killed thc cherished hope for revenge by the majority be- hind the Laurier Government, and that too at the very time when Mr. Laurier is introducing a resolution to petitiop the Imperial Parliament to re- form tbe Senate out of power to do good or evil. This was a bold act for the "old grannies" and the cry will resound in tones high and loud from the orient to the occident for the aboli- tiou of the Senate. •There can be no doubt that tbe Senate bas acted within its constitutional rights, and with the soundest reasons for its ae. tion, Miss Verner, of Stratford, is the guest of friends in Henson.

Mr. Alexander Matheson, formerly editor of the Stratford Beacon, but now bursar of the Belleville Deaf and Dumb Institute, has tendered his re- signation on the ground of ill health. It is understood that the resignation will be accepted. Mrs. Doagal Brayen and her five small children were poisoned at Wind- sor, Friday, by canned salmon pur- chased at a corner grocery. For a time their lives were in great danger. A doctor worked. with them and .suc- ceeded after strenuous efforts iu res- toring them to consciousness. All will probably recover. It is likely that the will of the late Ama.ssa Wood, of St. Thomas, will be contested. Tbe deceased left $8,000 to his widow and $10,000 to Dr. Eceles,of London. His daughter, Mrs. Eccles, received the balance of the vast es- tate. The deceased's granddaughter, ,Mrs. Aikens, of Toronto, was ignored, and it is said she will contest the will in the courts. • The severest earthquakeexperiencecl in California for several years, occurr- ed at Los Angeles at noon Saturday.

BANK OOMS TO GRIEF. 1Oeuse. •for the Seenensieo of the Ville Mario ltank—Dialtonest 341)114!oy .s Arroste Montreal, ,Inly 26.-enIn consequence of the large defeleatioa on the part ot tbe. payiag teller and consequent run ou the bank, the directors have decided, in the intereste of all concerned, to suspend payment. Meanwhile Alr. U. Garand has been pieced in °barge to audiu and re- •tiort." Taat aeuouncement tells the tale of another bank that bas come to grief. A Incur:tut is out for the arrest of 3. 3. Herbert, aged 27, paying teller of the Ville Mario, and F.' 0. Lemieux, $5 years old, chief accountant of the same instant - non, Harbert has probably left the city, but Lellitelix* was in Montreal yesterday morning. It is charged Quit the defalcation reaohes $58,000, and that the two xnen appropriated the notes of the bank. It is held that while the gold and securities were ehecked off and counted nightly. the Santo rule was not applied to the notes, and consequently these employes, conspiring together, were enabled to help themselves unchecked, and were also able to hide their operations. COUSpiraCY, gLYS r. Weir. Mr. Weir stated that nothing short of connivance betvveen the ohief twoountant, Lemieux, and Herbert, the paying teller, could have managed to rob the bank in the manner it had been clone. The presi- dent said that at different times, wbeu he was absent from the city, he bad en- trusted the keys of the Inner vault to these two inen, and he was of the opinion that they had openly conspired to rob the institution. When the defalcation became kneWil, Mr, William Weir, who is president and general manager, and who has the sym- pathy of all, decided to take advantage of the law and olose the doors. although Mr. Weir says that everybody will be paid in full.

With about 100 other prospectors, he wintered at Wind City. When he left in January 16 men were siok with scurvy, He heard in March that Dr. Mason ef Chieago, and W,Gonchie, son of a Chica- go banker, were dying. There were about 50 men stranded there, scurvy stricken and frozen. E. H. Harris of The Hamil- • ton Herald had both feet frozen, and they were amputated at the ankles. Two Rus- sians named Boorman, from California, were dying with sourvy. They were liv- ing on the siftings of sour flour only. Je Patterson, son of Lieutenant -Governor Patterson of Manitoba, and Coatesworth, a Chicago lawyer, were also stranded in 'Wind City in March. 11 would have been well if the Indian guides conld bave been inntmed to navigate beyond the divide after reaching Wind City, but there they stopped, saying that savages ten feet high roamed through the mount- ains and crushed them between their thumbs and lingers, and Me them up. The Indians reported several parties lost in the mountains. These men will never be beard of again. It was after the Indian guides loft them that they strayed into the section of the country.where there was no fuel, and there froze to death. The parties quarrelled among themselves and t.poir different routes.' Many rem- nants of parties were lost in this way, far in their anger they left the Indian guides.

Mr. Borden flied a declaration in con- nection with the futile efforts to serve Mr. James Fair with a summons to attend at tho committee. The declaration was made by a law clerk. named 13radley of Toronto. • James hloWillituits, sworn, resident of Colborne, voted in the last election at the booth, where Donald Cummings was the deputy returning (neer; he voted for Robert McLean.

Washington, July 06. -At yesterday's Cabinet meeting the main topio discussed was tbe Alaskan boundary line dispute. Secretaty Hay explained the status of the threat negotiations now in progress between biraself and Mre Tower,. the British charge d'aiTaires, and said that he was not without hope that this vexed problem would be scared by direot nego- • tiation.

And Still Better. The acuteness of the Alaskan bound- ary situation has been so much relieved as a result of the conference on Monday between' neoretary Hay and the British charge, Mr, Tower, that those who have taken the most active part in the new> nations feel that they can leave the city for a lunixeer vacation.

London, July 26. -The Daily Mail this morning, in a rather strong editorial an the Alaskan boundary dispute, contends that the interpretation of the 'treaty is pre-eminently a matter for arbitration. "Yet," says The Daily Mail. "the United States declines• to arbitrate, 'simply because the political pressure from the Pacific States is so strong that the President fears hisze•electionmight be endangered if he took the just course. We would not be misunderstood. Canada asks no concessions, but only for wbat she considers her own by right, and she is so confident of her ease that she is ready to go before any international tribunal. Reciprocal concessions are talked of, but why should Canada pay a high price for wbat seems to be her own/ ."Whenever the United States has pro- posed arbitration of any dispute, Eng- land bas invariably acceded. Why should the United States today bang back 'nn - less they feel that their case is weak? The United States have the reputation of being hard bargainers. ' That is all very well, and we have often made concessions 'thein simply because we did not desire to quarrel over trifles, bot here the vital interests of ' Canada are concerned, and it must be clearly understood that we cannot sacrifice Canada.

Now though bis item is short we can - seen a good deol in inin the first place he envies fins for being. able to sell a tew acres of hay at the enormous price of $6.00 per acre in all probability the gentleman has some bog hole on his own well tilled farm that would briaig him in twice that amount per acre if he would spend some of his spare time in improving it in place of meddling with other peoples' business, and when he does. meddle with other persons' affairs he. should have the honesty, not only to, give one side of the picture, but to give both sides,r1 He does not say how many acres of ours do not pay the taxes which are paid on it. , Next I would ask* him wbere he got his authority for stating that be heard. a great deal of complaint about our. being assessed too Ingle We are not aware that we employed any person to make complaints for its on that score; if we make complaints ourselves We Purely know where to make them, gertainly not to him, :whoever he may be ; as far as I can judge cif the matter he bas either stated a falsehood wilfully or his imagination has gone wrong,most likely the latter, and 1 would strongly advise him not to use his brain too much or it might notetand the strain. With .regard to the assessment when the gentleman who performs that duty comes to our place be is not interfered. with in the discharge of his duty; he is under oath to perform that duty to the best of his. ability withont fear or favor. He is under no obliga- tions to us, we give him as true a des- cription as we can of our property, we answer all his questions we do not hinder him from inspecting our prop- erty if he wishes to do so, and I think it ill becomes our Elimyille friend or any other person tp place before the publiennatters falsely or ignorantly,iti order to get a drive at men who. know enough to mind their own business and who do not begrudge, anyone a wave of good fortune if it comes their way.• Thanking you air.
