Clean and honest goeernment achieved a great victory in New York city on Tuesday Last. For year New York has been under the iron heel of the Tammany Ring with Boss Crocker as its manipulator. Under this rule the municipal government of New York had become so notoriously corrupt and demoralizing as to be a by -word and re - prow& the world over: Becoming alarmed at the terribly extravagant and notoriously corrupt and vicious rale of Crocker and his gang, the respectable element of the city decided to try and make a change. Hither- to the elections had been conducted on party lines. This time partyism was obliterated and there was a fusion of the best elements in. both parties. •This new combination selected as its chief standard bearer Mr. Seth Lowe, who was the candidate for the Mayorality, and a full ticket right through. These were °posed by a hill ticket brought nut under the Tammany wing and it was feared by many that Tammany had acgeired such power and influence that it world still prevail despite the effortr being p; e forth against it. The results, however, sl, v that these fears were groundless as not oe ee have the union people succeeded in electing _their candidate for mayor, but have been success- ful with their entire ticket. A clean sweep has been made and for the credit of eivilize- tion,ie is hoped,the days of Tammany and its rule have been ended for ever. The new Mayor is said to be a strong man, and he is . aupported by good men,but all their strength will be required to wipe out the fruits of corrupt and.prcfligate rule for many years. Mr. Low is a graduate, and was until re- cently, President of Columbia- University, resigning that position on accepting the candidature of the fusion ticket., He is fifty- one years of age and wealthy, having amas- Bed a forttate in mercantile pursuits. His lila has been that of a citizen with a high senile of public duty. He is a Republican, and was elected Mayor of Brooklyn in 1881, the term being for two years. ie was re- eleeted by an overwhelming majority in 18,83. He was the Mayoralty candidate for the reform party of Greater New York in the contest of 1897, which resulted in the return of Van Wyck.. He has alwaya been a vigorous opponent of Tammany. General Buller's "Rank Bad Luck." Tee treatment reoently aceorded to Gen- eral Buller by the Brieieh War Offiee has createl a great deal of hoatile criticism in tha old country. G-eneral Buller, as he says- himself, has been the victim of " rank bid laek." ,Oe, returning from South Africa he wee made cornmender of the First Army Corp, Within the past few weeks he has been dismissed from the commend and has been retired on half -p_ay, Cionerai Freneh having bean appoiated his is iocets With the appeintment of Geueral French, no per- gola hal aay cotnplaint. H.3 has proved himself a courageotui and efficient officer and has well earned the honor bestowed upon him, and had he been promoted without degrading Buller all would have been satire. tied. The reae na given for -the degr dation of Bailer, is a Speech which he delivered a short time , aizo defending himself from Censures lefficted upon him by the press for his conduct in South Africe. For a military ofilaer to make such a wenn is said to be a breattli of military discipliee. But cve,n eapposiag this to be the cas3, the punish- ment mama to b3 entirely out of proportion to the- offence, and in view of the General'e very great sirvieze to his couetry, under most trying circumstancee, one would think the tinny autheritiee might bve adhinie- tared reproof in a very much iniidei form. That they have not done se would seem to indicate ehet here must be a ',liver behin 1 the e adehth:tois n ne yet eome late tbe open., Tne :ndigriation aroueed in the public trOrut by Gib cheadearti frorn the serviee of so able ea I fai -Mut an °tither as General Buller, for so triviel a cauee, ii not un- natural. He has, from the very first, occu- a rery difii mid, position and ono in which it was impossible for him to win the distinction which it was the good fortune of some of his colleagues to achieve, The fault, however, whe not his. He was place ed in commaril of the forces sent to South Africa when the trouble broke out. The authorities in England had no idea of the iramensity of the task they gavo him to perform, and consequently he was but very poorly equipped for the performance of that task. They entirely underestimated the strength of the opposing forcea and had the most primitive knowledge of the coulee try in which their armies were sent to operate, When General Buller arrived _in South Africa he was not lung in learning that hie forces were entirely inadequate for the tar& set for their accomplishment ; that the forces opposIng him were much more formida,ble and vastly better equipped than any person at home had supposed, Ho also found that his knowledge of the country in which he had to operate ev_ as of the mcst imp trfect nature. He did not even have proper trope of the country, and the British VW. THE HUlto.N EXPOSITOR War Moe was not able to supply thorn to him. All this was not his fault, but the fault of those who had sent him out so ill prepared for the work they had given him to do. General Buller was superceded in South Africa by Lord Roberta, but even he .could not do anything,and -refused to move until he was provided with an immense army many times greater -thee thab whioh was furnish. ed Buller. Acting under Lord Roberts, also, General Buller accomplished great things. In the relief of Ladysmith he. was given an herculean bask and had difficulties and obstacles to overcome, such as, none of the other generals in the field had to en. counter. But by firmness, courage and persisteney he overcame !all these difficul- cultiee and sumeeded in accomplishing what some people thought to be an impos- sibility. • Another nOtablii .characteristio of Buller also, was his great coneern- for his men. He was always striving to accomp• lish his object with as little loss of life as poseible. On the whole, and judging from outside, et does seem to -us thee in the history of the South African war from its inception until the preseent time, no figure stands end with more promilihnoe or with greater eredit than does that �f General Buller. None' have distinguished them• selvee more signally and none had more " rank bad luck to contend with. It seems to us, also, that he has been most shabbily, if not most shamefully, treated, and that the trifling indiscretion, if hulls. oration it was, of defending himeelf egninst the envenomed shafts of his detractors, was no just reason for the degredition inflicted upon him. It would seem that there must be some other reason further ie the back• ground than that given. Although the English journals are charey to attribute unworthy or spiteful motives 'to Lord Rob• erts, who is now in charge of the war de- --partment, it has been hinted that he is not entirely blarnelese. He is', no doubt, a Cory honorable mau and a very bran and skilled soldier, but he is only ,human at best, and signs are notovant.ing of the leek of cordial- ity between himself and tho cominander whom he supereeded in South Africa, and no person need be surprised if it should yet transpire that Buller'a undeserved punieh- ment is slue more to this circumstance than to any other. In the meantime General Buller will have many sympathisers the world over on account lof the "rank had - luck d whi ill has beeerhim, and they will not forget his many brave and daring deeds perfoPmecl under many and great difficul. ties, as well as his humane and _thoughtful care for those under him. Even in the British army it would seemaa if promotion :goes sometimes more by favor than on ac- count of genuine merit. The public, how- ever, generally size up the situation pretty acourately in the long run and give piitiee where it is actually due. This seethe to be the case in the present instancie and al- though Buller has been lowered in the army he has not fallen in the estimation of the people, Editorial Notes and Comments.. Where was all the boasted talent of the Ontario Ministers when they had to import a man from Ohio to prepare their patnphlets and epeeches wilco the Toronto Mail. The "-man from Ohio," meaning the now not6ra ions Mabee, was not imported by the On. tario Ministers. but by the political iriends of the Mail.- And after he was imported be found them so cliegrantled and discordant that he left them ia disgust and tried to get into better company. - According to figures supplied by tins Commiesinier of Agriculture, the export, trade in pork, bacon and hams from Canada has grown from $645,360 worth in 1890 to 811,829,050 for the year ending June, 1901. The great bulk of this, if not the whole of, it, has found a market in Great Britain, and with a very liable encouragement from the old mother, :moll as we referred to last week, gratifyiug a showing would soon be evi• dent in all our produote. Mackenzes and Mann and the Manitoba Government have had a falling out, it ap._ pears, all because two sets of lawyers have different ideas about the meaning of words. Tae right of the Government to fix freight rates is disputed, and now it seems other lawyers are to be employed to find out what the lawyers of the first part meant. And here starts along tusaeF which means feee for lawyers and costs on the people. And this is the great Manitoba Railway bubble. If it burstsit may kill tho Govern- ment, but the Province will be saved a good many millions of ,dollars. If the Govern ment do not get the control of rates they do not get anything of value. That was sup period to be the keynote of the deal. There are now thirteen vacant seats hi the House of Commons, one in Prince .Edward Island; one in- New Brunswick; five in Quebec ;five in Ontario, and one in Mtini• toba, Itis expected that Governtnent aupperters will be elected in -nine of them conetiturneies. There were before eight Liberals, four Conservat yes and one Inde- pendent. Not since Confederation hes the Dominion' Conservative party been se weak and demoralized as it is at the presentetime. It is not 4trong enough nor united' enough to make even a passably efficient opposition, Respecting the vacancy in the representas teen of West York, caueed by the death of He'll. Clark Wallace, a well informed cor- respondent says : er" There is some talk of the younger element of the West York Con- servative party opposing the nomination of Thomas F. Wallace, brother of the late member, whom the exeoutive of the riding have urged to run. The McCarthy element is also said to be in line with the young men, who want Captain Tom Wallitee, son of the late member, to run. A well known Conservative, in discussing the question, said: '1 would take off my coat and fight for eaptaia Tom Wallitoe, but I will do nothing tit` aseiat._ T. F.1 Wallace. It the Conservative patty wants a mire and easy victory let it, unite on Oeptain Tom.' " It's all in the family, which ever way it goes. The Wierton Canadian, a Conssrvative paper, says that Mr, Plergue, the great "Soo" magnate, has mat 'hie lot with the Coneervative party, as is hown by the fact that Mr. Misca,mpbell, " his superintend- ent, friend and confident," has accepted the Conservative nomination in East Algoma. " The name of Olergue," says our Wiarton contemperary, with an air -of intense Natio- , faction has been a wonderful one to con. jurierwith in Northern Oatetio, and if it pregeen as potent in the older sections, where Mre Whitney will not fail to make the mosb of it there hello doubt there will be a great weaknees in the Reform cikufie." tvlr. Cler- gue is, no doubt, like the rest of -his ilk, his businesi is his politics, and if he has oast in his lot with Mr. Whitney, it is ,because he thinks Mr. Whitney will be more pliable in his hands than Mr. Ross, and that the Pro- vincial treasury will be more comeatable under the former than under the latter. Li Hung Chang,:ehigreat Ohinose states. man, died on Thursday morning, at Pekin, China. There was an interesting battle in progress this week in thie court in Toronto between the doctors and •the Cluietian Sciontiste. Some time ago a child belonging to a man named Lewis beeame siok with diphtheria and instead of sending for a dootoz to treat the ohild he called in a Chreettan Seientiet. The child died, and now the father is being proSecuted for manslaughter, for allow- ing his child to die without procuring med- ical aid. Several doetors leave bees exam- ined, and all of them flout the idea that dia. ease can be cured by such means as thoee adopted by the Christian Scientists and several have expressed their be lief.that the child would helm been mired had proper medical aid been -secured; Oa the other side, &number have testified that they had been cured of didease by Christian Science methods, after medioal doceors had failed. The case is being tried before a jury, and judging from the evidence, they had a mighty kntty question to decide. The jury brought ie a verdict of guilty, but the prisoner wae let off on suspended sentence. The cue rcill be appealed to a higher court. Hon. Geo, W. Rose,1Premier of Ontario, was on Monday nominated as the Liberal standard bearer for West Middlesex. The nomination was proposed by Squire Dual'', a gentleman 82 years of age, who nominated Mr. Ross 30 years ago, when he first ran in the constituency, and has nominated him ten 'times since thet Memorable campaign. Each time -Mr. Duftin's nominee has won, and of course he will win again, as he seems to be more popular in the constituency ehan he was ever before. No other name was even mentioned in the convention, and the nomination was enthusiastic. In his address Mr. Rose remarked that a convention had never beer, divided by a ballot, as his nom- ination had always been unanimous. Cor- dial resolutions were moved and seconded by gentlemen who had cast their firet votes for Mr. Rose a quarter of sa, century ego, and among the delegates were dozens of men who have watched and cheered Mr. Rose from the day he entered politics. West Middlesex people hava good cause to be proud of their distinguished and talented representative, and all the more so that he is one of themselves and a slit of the soil. A better example of Seta!' reproving sin was, ,possibly, never given than the follow- jowin-g from the Toronto Mail : "When Mr. Whitney comes to power, as come he will, in spite of tho efforts of the War Horse to smother him with slander, the first advantagethe Province will experience will be absolute freedom from the machine that has dominated and disgraced it in recent years." • Now, let us nee. What about Mr. Whitney's machine" Mabee has made a statement, and has backed up his statement by an affidavit. Oa° paragraph in that statement s to the effect that at the last Provincial election Mr. Whitney had an election fund of $76,000, and that the die, content existing in the Conservative pal ty to•day isolargely due to the reckleesi manner in whioilMr. Whitney dispersed of this large. sum, ;Seventy-six thousand dollars will run a tobfrably large eleotion " maohine." It is More by three times, we venture to say, than the Liberals had, all told. If, therefore, Mr. Wiiitney is so succeeeful in raising " machine money "in opposition, what may be expected from him in that line when he has the Provincial money bage at his dis- posal ? Does it not strike the Mall that in this respect, at least, the people of Ontario had better put up with' the ills they have than fly to those they know not of. If the Grit "machine" has been as irksome as the Mail says it has, do not the circumstancea justify the fear that the Tory " machine " will be very much more so 7 If the people of Ontario are ever foolish enough to desert R083 for Whitney, they would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire ineeo far as machineism is concerned, and none know this bettev than the Mail.
