FRIDAY, FEB. 18, 1898.
IT was certainly a very peculiar thing
that at Mr. Whitney's evening meeting
fn Brassie last Friday that neither Air,
Whitney nor Mr. Diokinson mentioned the
name of the Conservative candidate for
Idle Riding from beginning to end of the
meeting. Somebody evidently blundered.
WHY didu't A1r. Whitney or his frieads
do some kicking at the last cession over
the I]ogledue syndicate ? They were
no mum as an oyster, We think the
government is to be commended for the
move, and if another offer of the same
kind were made they would be foolish if
they did not aooept it. 520,000 handed
over as security by the syndicate to be
ooneamed in the purobaee of mining
lands ab a pries to be agreed upon ; no
timber limits to be inoluded ; $120,000 to
be expended in three years in opening up
and improving roads thereby making it
possible and convenient for other pros.
peters without the governmeub going to
the expense ; and millions of agree left
after the syndicate have taken up their
claims. The Opposition had better tense
than to discuss this question on the floor
of the House in the past session. It was
a wise move and safely guarded.

In 1874 a Bill for an Advisory Board was

by prominent men on both sides of poli.
ties, but after a trial of 2 years it was
found unworkable and a Minister of
Education was appointed. Hon. Mr.
Ross is all right as the head of that De-
partment, and a ohaoge would be for the
worse. Mr. Whitney voted on two oo-

of Education.
WHITNEY AT BRUSSELS.
LARGE GATHERINGS.
Mr. Whitney held two meetings in
Brussels on Friday of last week, both of
which were well attended. At the after-
noon gathering there was quite a large
number of farmers from the vicinity of
the town, while in the evening the audi-
ence was composed chiefly of residents of
Brussels. After Thursday's hard work,
when Mr. Whitney had, in addition to
his railway trip, to drive about forty
miles of rough country roads and address
two meetings, it was expected that he
would have had Friday afternoon free,
but on arriving at Brussels he found that
the program had been arranged, and con-
sequently he had to go straight from the
train to the Town Hall. His reception
at the town was very cordial. A large
crowd of citizens was on hand to greet
him and be was escorted up town in pro-
cessional order with a band preceding the
nutters. There were about 550 persons
in the hall, which was well crowd-
ed. On the platform were quite a num-
ber of ladies and the leading )members of
the Conservative Association of East
Huron. The ohair wee occupied by 33.

that he bad already been through the
constituency and everywhere he bad been
well received. in regarded his chances of
election as very good, and he asked those
present to come out and work as well as
vote for him. It was his belief that at

sions of personal regard and confidence
in his public conduct. When he rose to
speak he briefly thanked the members of
the party for their expressions of good.
will and then entered on a discussion of
public affairs. The reason, he said, he
was going about the country was to show
the people that the present Government
had nob done their duty by the Province ;
in fact that they had ruined the business
of the people and betrayed the interests
which they had been elected to office to
conserve, He hoped that he world never
have a harder task to discharge than this
one. He did not, however, come for the
purpose of saying anything personal
against anyone. In passing he desired,
he said, to express the esteem which he
felt for the late member of the consti-
tuency, Thos, Gibson, who was an earn-
est, estimable man and one who had en-
joyed the respect of both sides of the
House. He had came to appeal for the
support of Liberals as well as Conserva-
tives, and in saying this he did not wish
them to think that he was a political in-
vertebrate without party complexion. He
was a Conservative and a loyal member
of that party. He contended that the
Government was in debt and that one of
the reasons why this debt existed was the
multiplication of officeholders,
T00 LUNY OFFICEHOLDERS.

text books need in the Public school and
there have only been two changes in the
Readers in 50 years. Before a Commis-
sion, that sat 20 days, twenty witnesses
were palled as to the oost of sohool books.
Their evidence went to show that the
prices were not excessive. Mr. Whitney
says it was a partisan Commission, but
outside of the three firms who have the
contract the witnesses represented the

No other country publishes sohool books

educational system and Hon. G. W. Rose

Tan beet news comes in from Huron
County. There is not the least doubt as
to the result in the East or West Ridings.
In the West the Conservative candidate
has not held a public meeting, while many
Conservatives have pledged their support
to Mr. Garrow. The Liberal candidate
is a man of marked individuality and of
exceptional independence of character,
and West Huron feels proud of the lead-
ing place he has taken in the Legislature.
In East Huron the Liberals have a
splendid candidate in Mr. Hislop, and on
all hands his election is conceded, The
South has been claimed by the Conserve.
hives, but Mr. McLean, owing to the
position of influence he bas won in the
Legislature and his admirable oharactsr
as a citizen, finds a wonderful enthusiasm
among his old friends, and many new
friends rallying to his support. That he
will be re-eleoted by a good majority
seems now to be beyond question, and
the let of March will find the Barone
still solid for good government. There is
no light for Mr. Whitney in the West.—

in the afternoon, but enlor�od or. several
points on which his leads had toucher

Be continued that if the Opposition

meut of the public accounts, then the
people should dismiss them from power
and put in their places mei who would

attention to the educational policy of the
Government, and argued that Mr, Whit•
ney's proposals for the remodelling of the
Public School curriculum and the ap-
pointment of an Advisory Board were
necessary to the proper administration of
the school system. He spoke of the ap•
ppoiutment of the commission to inquire
into the price of sohool books, and then
took up the piggery issue. The timber

Mr. Whitney asked what excuse there
was for so increasing the officials when
the Liberal speakers all over the country
and the Liberal press had for years been
aging that the population of the country
was being diminished by reason of the
National Policy, and ib was urged by
them that the population at the preseub
time was no greater than it wee 22 years
ago, If the population was no greater
now than ib was 22 years ago why should
there be four times the number of offici-
els ? Mr. Whitney said the old claim of

in the pamphlet he referred to had been
denounced by his lieutenants as a UM -

selves, he said, had admitted that there
had been annual defleibe during 1804,

ME, WHITNEY AND THE 01000005.
Mr, Whitney before beginning his ad-
dress proper said be wishes. to draw at.
tension to a (notation published oy the
Globe newspaper from the Farmers' Suns
which appeared on February 10th. In
this quotation he (bur, Whitney) was
'charged with having 1n an attack upon
Joseph Haycock used language which the
Sun said to call brutal wouldto use an
inadequate terra. His language, the Sun
continued, was suoh as could only have
been addressed by one eonocions of his
infinite superiority to those v -ho were as
dirt beneath his feet. The laugna50 he
(3.10. Whitney) was accused of employing
VMS : "Who aro these farmers that they
should dare to claim for themselves an
interest in politics and a voice in the ad.
ministration of the State ? Who are
these political vagabonds that they should
dare to exercise their franohi:+s according
to their own consciences and not tocord
ing to the dictates of the authorized
organizations ?" This whole statement,
Mr, Whitney said, was untrue. "Never
at any time or in any plc ce," he said,
"did I use any of the word:. I am accused
of having used. Never iu all my life,
These are eimply the words of some

The finances of Ontario have been ad-
ministered honestly and economically.
There has not been even an attempt made
to charge the Liberal Government with
corruption during 25 years rule. Do the
electors want a change in this regard ? '
Before Mr. Whitney 0011 perenade the

government was ever given a single dol•
par's worth of advantage over anybody
else. It is nob yet time for a change
along this line.
