Bonaire 8aoialiet, will be a candidate on the Saoiallst ticket for Went Elgin, In the general election of 2875 the Lib. oral mai, In Ontario wao'16 ; in 1879, 26 ; 1868,10 i 1886, 25 ; 1890, 23 ; 1894, 8, and 1898, 8. Me. Mary Darwin be been nominated in North Toronto to outwit that riding for the legislatureon the woman's surf• rage platform. The Globe denies the report promal. gated by tine Montreal Star, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will resign the Premier- ehipimmedietely atter the coronation, owing to failing health. We observe that the Tory papers are now praising A, W. Campbell and his good roads, That reminds us the( the good roads officer was strongly opposed by the Opposition, j08t as they have opposed nearly all the progressive meas• wee of the last generation in Ontario. The Toronto News, although owned by leading members of the Conservative party, has always stood for Mr. Bose' de. velopment policy, and even now on the eve of the general election that journal with praise -worthy consistency declares that Mr. Matter is deserving of the sup- port of the electors of North Toronto. The Government ought to be turned oat because it is too longin power is an argument the Opposition fall book upon when they fail to present any other rea- eon. It is not the course pursued in or. dinary Meiners affairs. The offioial or the servant who does his work well is al- ways retained in preference to taking a and untried man. The Govern- ment of Ontario he done its work well and now has ae Ito leader one of the most enterprising and vigorous men it ever had. Would it be wisdom to risk a change jaet for the sake of a change? common sense answers that it would not. The Wroxeter Star remark :—The Eleotione for Ontario are on, bat in this riding things are very quiet yet. Of coarse In an eleotion, like a horse rave, you oanaot tell till it is over, but the demon are the riding will remain Liberal, as A. Rielop is a good mac with few faults or enemies. A. Spotton, the Con- servative candidate, is also a clever young mac and a good speaker, and will no doubt pat op a good fight, whether he wine or not. If be makes a good show- ing his time will not be wasted ae there will doubtless be another opening for him in thio or an adjoining riding. A Lekelet correspondent writes the Bardeen Tribune ae follows :—Yoe were quite right when you said in your last issue that Mr. Spotton has a big avow drift to book against in East Karoo. Were hie opponent an old obap who ehoald be relegated to his home instead of representing the people Mr. Spotton might have a show. The fact is though that Mr. Hislop, our representative dur- ing the past 4 years, is a young man of whom any 000etit0eney might feel proud. We do not for an instant question Mr. •Spotton'e ability but we do know that when they meat on the platform he will find in Mr. Hislop a very worthy oppon- ent. We know Mr. Spotton will get a mejoriby in oar polling sub -division here and a fair majority in Rowiok bat where is the rest coming from. At the last eleotion Mc. Hislop had about Ove hun- dred of a majority against the strongest man the Conservatives oonld bring oat and it Mr. Spotton van knock out that majority against a really popular, clever young Liberal he will have accomplished a feat that ebould call forth the acclema- tioe of a whole riding. A LEADSR'S EEEOE. Nearly all the conservative newspapers of the Province are silent upon Mr. Whit• ney's declaration that he would wipe out the taxes on corporations. They realize that it is a most untoward blander, es- pecially on the eve of a campaign. It ie a sample of the bad judgment he bas shown on other questions of policy, which led to the agitation for hie removal from the leaderehip of the party, It id eb• Burd to contend that the taxes on corpor- ations are diverted by the Government from the maaioipalities. Banks, tele. graph, telephone, express, lonn andiinenr. one companies operate all over the Pro- viooe, and should contribute to the Pro- vincial revenue. Tormerly the oitiee in which the head offices of snob torpor• Miens happened to be located, taxed their profits, which were largely derived from investments and trenaaotions in other municipalities. The present method equalizes the taxation among tbe manloi. polities, ae the latter have the money re- turned to them impartially in the form of expenditures on education, hospitals, charitable institutions, administration of judos and so forth. Those who say this new ware of revenue is direct taxation oaanot show that the money oolleoted by the Government has bad the effect of raising 100008nme premiums, money rates, express charges or telegraph and tele. phone toile. It comae out of the pookete of the corporations, not of the people,; °SEAT POBBTILITIEB. It in no exaggeration to say that Oen. oda bae a greater supply of pulp -wood than any other country on the globe. For that reason Canada should and .some day may, lead all other countries in pulp and paper making. Poaeeesion of the raw material is a natural advantage that ebould be turned to the fullest account. A prudent publio policy, dictated by purely Canadian interests, will.promote thie development. In the Proviooe of Ontario no pnlp.wood out on crown lands van be exported—it meet first be convert. ed into pulp or paper. This mate off On. tario ae a soar0e of pulpwood supply for foreign mannfaoturee, who would other- wise ravage oar eprnme forests. The Province thereby loses a direct revenue, but it preserves elle spruce and encourag- es the eotabliehment of pulp and paper plants to atlize the raw material and give employment to Canadian labor. In this repeat Ontario bas taken the lead over other Provisoes. In Quebec', trete of spruce are sold by cootie, and the par (haeer may export the loge in the rough by paying inareaeed dee. With the ' vieW of getting the bet results front our unrivaled natured reeoartee, it in obvious that Ontario's plat le the more far se. ing one. The nree of epraoe forests in the United State is dimishingt while the demand for paper in rapidly 1000088. ing. This means that oar neighbors will be feed to look abroad for pulpwood, Canada ebould prefer to send it',to thele la inaeenteolerud loom,. TILE ('RICE QF ENS.

"The Sebool Book Ring"`ie a Bounding phrase and rolls trippingly off the tongues of Opposition spellbinders. Mr. Whit. ney, who never paints his platform plot• nes in halftones, talks about the "School Book Barone" and the fine houses they are bailding with money squeezed out of the wenn of eobool ehildreo. To in. veetigete chargee of this kind, the Government in 1897 appointed a royal oommiesion, 000818ting of Edward Mor- gan, junior judge of the county of York ; James Bain, librarian of the Toronto Pablio Library, and 0. B. Robineon, president of the Weetminieter Publishing Company. Referring to the pnblio school readers the report of the emu/lesion states that "A careful inquiry into the cost of publiostioo, and an examination of the makeup of each book and the teat. irnony of wituessee qualified to judge as to the material and workmanship employed, has satisfied us that the readers are of excellent and durable quality as to paper, typo-grapby, illustrations and binding, and in addition have a very attractive am pearanoe, and that the retail price now charged for eaoh book is not excessive and ebould not be reduced to any lower prices than that to which the Minister of Education has, by reoe01 arrangemeate, reduced them." The total ooet of books for the whose public eobool course, inolading the work of the Fifth Form is $6.77. Assuming that it takes ten years to complete the pobiic school coarse, the average per pupil each year 18 57 ciente. In Massachusetts the average coat per pupil is $1.65 ; in III beds, $1.25 ; in Rhode Island, $1.13, and in Mtesoort, $1. In the etatee mentioned the publication of text books ie not in auy way controlled by the Department of Eduoatiou. Ilene publishers fir their own prices, and the eobool authorities may change text books ae often as they deem it fit. Such a state of rffaire is obviated in Ontario by the control exeroie ed by the Government over the whole matter pertainiog to text bocke. There have been but two ribcages in pnblio eohool readers eince our eobool eyetem was organized, 55 years ago. The first aeries was authorized by Rev. Dr. Ryerson in 1846 and the second aeries in 1867. The readers now in use in the public 80110018 were authorized in 1884. The majority of the text books formerly in use in both the public and high eohools were written by either Amerioao or British eolboru. At present there are only two, she Enmid and the Greek Be ginner)' Book, that are not the prodket of Canadian brains. Perhaps no better nor more oonotnelve answer can be given to the "eohool book monopoly" charge than the following excerpt from the report of the royal oommiesion, the members of which ore to widely and favorably known to be mali- gned by opponents of the Government. •'The contracts with tbe Government under which the various eobool hooka are published, contain certain provisions en• titling the Department of Education to make arrangements with otherpablioation of the same books, so that there cannot be a monopoly ; in fact, Bowe of these books are published ander those agreements by more than one publisher, but competition has not reduced price, showing that the original price was not exoeeeive. Great care has aloo been taken to provide that the material used and workmanehip em. played in the mano£aoture of each book shall be of excellent quality and kind, and we have muob pleasure in reporting that the publiehere have lived up to their nom traote in that respect, and that the various books published by them are excellent am to paper, printing and binding, very durable and of very attractive, exterior." Hicks' Horoscope For. Month of May. Rev. Mr. Rieke, of prophetic fame, the outlines the program ram for May : 6 g About the 3rd of May, the date on which the moon passes over the oeleetial equator coming Northward, look for de- cided rise of temperature, beginning, of course, in Western parte, resulting in threatening etorme of thander, wind and rain progreeeively from West to East about the 3rd, 4th and 5th. It is quite probable that an unsettled, if not stormy condition of the weather will continue from these reactionary storm days into and through the Vulcan storm period, extending from the 7th to the 12th. We would again oall attention to the fact that the mouth of May brings a tier of etatee. In the nature of things this generates an obnormal amount of electric and eller energy in our atmosphere and usually brings on a aeries of very threat- ening and often dangerous etorme. We believe that & daily eerie of etorme of thunder, rain and wind, with heavy hail in many localities, will mar from anoint the 7th to the 11011, and that at the final "blow out" or break up of the oyole, a marked change to cooler weather, with great probability of heavy frosts Northward are almost certain. If only one general storm aboald moor at this period, the pool wave and trete will fol. low it tip immediately. A reactionary etorm period i8 ventral on the 14th and 1501, followed on the 10th by the peerage of the moon over the celestial equator, on her way to South deolination. Such a thing le not improbable for the daily oyole period referred to above to last into this reaotionary period and if euob should prove to be the ease, look for a general and violent elimination on and toaehing the 16013, Very 000i nights and tests over Nor- thern eeetione will most likely follow these reaotionary perturbatiOne, With very pool Weather Over most parte of the country, hosting from about the 26011 up to abort the 19th. The Valoaa storm prided, oentral 0n the 21st, and covering the 10.11 to the 23rd, ie another period in whioh very active eerie may be wanted on. We will name Wednesday, 'Pbareday and Friday, the 21st,, 22nd and 28rd, ea the days upon whtoh the etorme of this period will develop and run their oourae from West to Had. As we enter this period of daye end nights begin to grow eultry and warts. About the 20th these condition0 will, break into active etorme of rain, wind ani thunder in western seldom), and there etorme will increase in extent and Bever. ity as they gather foroe and move east. ward woe ire country. Qo and tonol)tng the .26th and 27th look for change to much warmpr, falling barometer and decided storms of wind and rain. Summing up the outlook for May, we predict that generally 10 will be a fine month for paehing the work of the sea. eon. C orrf<t.
