Th L;) Pot Calling the Kettle Black.
e Toronto Globe whioh is phenomin-
ally fair to its political opponents, never ut-
ter d truer Words than the following:
T e Mail seems inClined to stick to its
noti n that corruption is a creation of the
Lib ral party. There may be isolated cases
of b iber on either side, but organized brib-
-ery, it contends, is peoulia to the Liberal
part . This is the sort 4f nonsense that
stands in the way of any real progress in
improving election meth de. Corruption,
whether little or great,isol ted or organized,
has nothing to do with party lines. No
partf label is a certificate 4f purity, and to
contend that it is is gimp' to put a premium
on hypocrisy. Mr. Calder was unseated for
organized, •extensive and systematic oor-
rupt on. The Mail said that it was all Mr.
Dry en's fault, and Mr. hitney said it
was Grit conspiracy. M Dryden is un-
seatd, and the Mail and r. Whitney fill
lp
the ir wieh howls of right ous indignation.
The, act is that there have been two corrupt
electlone in South Ontario, and instead of
each . arty trying to throw the blame on the
other, the two should corn inc and try to
have an election that Will e fair.
_
Th s is a manly, strai htforward stte-
ment of the facts and co treats favorably
with the peckeniffian and h pocritioal utter-
ance of the leading Censer ative papers on
this me subject. It is ei ply the essence,
of hy ocricy for one party o cast stones at

T e Picton Ti es, in discussing he policy

it
up a point whiclmay well engag the at-,
tenti n of our au horities, and on which it
would be well to make a thorough investi7
gation before that countrv becomes very
much older. It ays : " The Yukon coun-
try is to be egarded as •pecutiar in its
clim tic quality If the country is worth-
less, except for its geId, then it will be
abeol tely worth ess when the gold is taken
out. While it bas not the making of

may well be regeeded as a fair one, whether
we are not justified in making it an excep-
tion, shutting ou foreign trade, and help-
ing otirselves to the gold and to such trade
as my be incide tal to the mining of it."1
The large Mor on colony, which has re-
al
[
cently been locat d in the Canadian North-
west,, is commencing to fernish us with a
Mormon proble " in this country. In
his addrelis befor the General Assembly>
last week, Rev, Dr. Robertson, the veteran
superintendent of Presbyterian missions,
gave some important information regardin g
the Mormons in Canada. The Mormon
Chureh had 1,500 missionaries at work, the
brightest men am ng them, and -last year
made 63,000 converts, although their church
membership was only 300,000. In many
Mormon families the children number from
ten and sisteen to twenty. I " If the Mor-
mons are right, then Ontario is wrong,"
said the speaker, ' for we get no such fami-
lies -in Ontario." It is becoming quite ap-
parent that these people are likely to give
trouble in this e untry before long. At
any rete, they will bear close watching if
the abominations of their system are not to
be intioduced into this country.
The drilling ol the volunteers in their
severs military camps costs a lot Of money.1
Whet1er or not good value is received for
this expenditure stems to be a disputed
point. There is n1 doubt of this, that it is
more profitable to xpend money for the en-
couragement of pea e than in preparing for
a I,
war. The Unitei States have already
learned the truth o this by dear experience-
But,r: while it is sca cely neeesiary for Can-
adto Maintain a nilitary force for pro-
•
tective Purposes, it, does seem at least reaa
sonable that something in the nature of a
national police force should be maintained
if for n� other purpOse than to maintain in-
ternal peace, and this is about all that our
volunteer force is. And, even for this, some
drill and discipline s necessary. As an in-
stance of the cost to the country we give the
following igures : he pay list of the 33rd
battaliop t camp this year totalled $2,400.
The total ost was 26,420 of the London
camp. Tq this mus be added the amount
expended for rations $5,051.86, and for the.
staff offi ers over $1, 00, bringing the grand
total to early $34,( 0. The cost of the
v
rations re : Bre d, $822.30 ; meat, $2,-
16397 ; potatoes, $2 8.53; goceries,$7934;
forage, 5 3 ; fuel, 398.10; straw, $2.50.

The r p rt seems to be confirmed that the
Filipino eneral, A inaldo, had conspired
to secure t e death o General Luna, one of
his leading officers, ad the second in coin -
mend of t e Philippine army. Aginaldo
became jea 0118 of the k rowing influence of
Luna with Ithe rank a d file of the Filipinas,
and feared iim as a ival. As a blind, he
promoted him in offie , making him seeond
in conunnd to himse f. Thus thrown off
his guard, Luna soon became the victim of
the j
e machinery which- his chief had put in
motion for his destruction, his seassin-
ation in a most cruel and cunning Manner,
following quickly his promotion in office.
General Luna was educated at a European
university. OOP Of he junta which was in

trouble betweenthe whites and negroes is
continually growing more acute. Uncle
Sam is likely soon to have as much trouble
with his own cols there as he has pow
with the Phil ppines. It is said that the
negroes make rave and daring soldiers, and
stand the fati ue of the army and the rigors'
of an inhospit bits climate much better than
white men do. If the American authorities
could solve the S uthern difficulty by enlist-.
ing all the negroa into the army and trans-
porting theni to their new posseasions in
Cuba and the ph lippines, they might make,
them very useful and give them congenial'
employment. I is not long since the entire
country was sho ked by the mutilation and
burning of two n grow; by _ mobs of whitei
outherners. Si oe then several outrages
nearly as bad ha e been committed. Only a
few days agoat Dunnellon, Florida, a
negro killed th ity marshal. He was ar-
rested, but so afterwards disappeared,
and it was rep r ed that white men -had
hired two other agrees to take him to the
river and drown him. The negro popula.
tion evidently believeciethe story, for they
gathered in a mob ahd lynched the two
negroes who were thus accused. If the
whites of the South do not appreciate the
danger of mob law among themeelves'they
ought to realize that it is a perilous habit to
let negroes cultivate.

It seems the Dominion Government are
not onlyiputting forth strenuous efforts to
increase the male population of the North-
west Terkitories, but the Interior Depart-
ment has a scheme on hand to increase the
female population, and to furnish wives for
the thrifty bachelor farmers of the prairies.
It remains to be seen how such a tcheme
will be viewed by our Canadian girls, who
are pining alone and rapidly drifting into.,
the old maid's list. A recent despatch from
Ottawa aye : "Some months ago Mr.
Sifton en aged, as English agent Miss San-
ford, wh reached Ottawa to -night with
eighteen buxom, English lassies under her
charge. ituations have already been ob-
tained foe some of them, and there is no
doubt thalt everatene of them will be readily
engaged.1 his Sanford stated in conver-
sation that;not merely had she references in
1
each case, ut sh had inquired as to the
antecedezite, and ad interviewed the former
Elmistresse of the girls. These girls have all
been in service already in the old countre.
Some of t em are i from Dublin and l others
from Belf e. They are all the daughters
i
of small f r ere, and have been bronght up
to milk a d do the ordinary work which, is
allhtted ill daughter on a small farm.
They are 11 thoroughly respectable, and no
doubt ther will get along well."
Some e enty members of the Ontario -
Legislature, together with numerous news-
paper reporers, left Toronto, on Thursday
of last week! on an expedition of inspection
through Algoma, or New Ontario. They go
as the gueets of a committee of prominent
residents • the new district, headed by Mr.
James Con ee, M. P. P, and the expense
of the trip which is entirely borne by this
committee will amount to at least$10,000.
The object the committee have innterest the members of the Leg-
iew is to
islature in his new country by gi ing them
ivi
more fully •
an opportu ity to witness for themselves
its great n : tural resources and the require-
ments for e proper development of these
resources. The party have visit d Sault
Ste. Marie, Port Arthur, Fort Wil iam, Rat
Portage an other points of interes , includ-
ing the var ous mining cameos. T ey also
intend visi ing the Rainy River district.
At each at pping place the visit re were
hospitably ntertamed, and addres es were
presented d responses thereto made. At
one of the lace, Hon. (a. W. Ross, who
seems to be the iprincipal spokesman for the
party, in r ferring to the • historic ground
upon which the were, an ancient camping
place of th Ind ane, he jokingly said: "11
the honora le g ntlemen of the Opposition
in the Legislatu e could be treated in the
way the Indian treated their Opponents
the Government could do more for Algoma,
as its energetic nd enterprising represent-
ative, Mr. on ee, urged them to do." As
there 18 may a Teat truth uttered in jest,
no doubt t e h nerable gentlman's joke
furnishes a ey t the generosity or enter-
prise of the con ittee in organizing the ex-
pedition. It's ore money they're after.
