.Edttorial Notes and Comments
Hon. Mr. Fielding, Dominion Fin -
ante Minister, was entertained at a
complimentary 'banquet at the Wind-
sor Hotel, in Montreal, on Tuesday,
evening last by the Reform Mai) of
that city. The girest aof the evening
made a lengthy and very able speech.
There were present several members
a the Dominion Cabinet, Hon. -G. W.
Ross, Liberal leader in Ontario, and
the Quebec Premier, besides many
prominent politicians from the sev-
ere]. Provinces..
••••••••=1......!
The Canadian Northern Rallwa,y
Company, known as the McKenzie-
,
Mann Company, are applying to the
Dominion Parliament for permiesion
to band 9 new railways or branches
in Ontario. One of them is to run
from the Niagara River northwest -
%dye passing through or near Hamil-
ton to Lake near Goderiche
With branches of the Grand Trunk,
the Canadian Pacific and the Canadi-
an Northern, all competing lines,
rimning through this county we should
be tolerably well supplied with fail -
ways.
The life of the politican ler not al -
way e pleasant any more than profit-
able. A man who is prominent in
politics xnust be incased in a shell
of cast steel to be impervious to the
attacker made upon ,him by his op-
ponentS. The recent attacks on Hon.
Mr. Hymen, the Minister of Public
?Works in the Dominion Government,
are evidently telling on him. A -de-
spatch fromLondon on Wednesday
says: "It was announced to -day that
the physicians of Hon. C. S. Hymen
had ordered the Minister of Public
Worksto take a complete rest for a
period. Mr. Hyrnan is suffering from
peoloriged overwork and his condtion
has become such that he has left
for the south, where he will be joined
by Mrs Hyman in the course of a
few. dam"
The Ontario Government have very
wisely decided to impose a royalty
of 25 per cent on all'the ore mined
and shipped from the Cobalt district.
• This is a very wise are' proper ex-
action and if these mines are half as
rich as they are said to be the Pro-
vince should receive a very large
revenue from this source. Some object
to a royalty being imposed but any
such objections cannot have much
force. There is no reason why the
- mineral lands should not be made a,
scram of revenue to the Province as
well asthe timber. In the first place
the lands which contain the miner -
ale belong to the Province and it is
_ but right that the people should reap
some direct benefit from their own
property•. In the second 'place, the
Province has been at great expense
building railways and roads and in
other ways opening up the country
and making it accessible and it is
but reasonable and right that the
lands thus made valuable - by public
expenditure should be made to re-
turn a- reasonable proportion of that
experaliture. The course of the Gov-
ernment in this respect will receivg
the warm approval of the people on
both sides of politics.
The Dominion Grange, the Far-
mers' Association of 'Ontario, to-
gether with the- Grain Growers' As-
sociation of Manitoba have un-
lted in a strongly worded petition to
the Dominion. Government, vigorously
protesting against .any increase in
the Dominion tariff under the pro-
posed revision. On the contrary, these
bodies ask that the tariff be scaled
down to the heels of a purely re-
venue tariff instead. of being scaled
up in the direction of increased pro-
tection. In fact the farmers express
their Willingness to have the duties
-entirely reradven from agricultural
products providiee a proportinate re-
duction la made in manufactured ar-
ticles. Of course ei person X.11.0WS
what the mind of the Government is
in reference to thee matters, nor
will any information be given until
the Financ Minister deliverhis
budget spe ch. The farmershowever,
are takieg tune by- the forelock, and
Their behest will no doubt have eery
great weight with the Government.
The position Is an exceedingly diffi-
cult one for the Government. They
are faced by two powerful organize-
. Cons pulling in different 'directions.
•
The farmers assoelatione working ter
a lower tariff, and the manufacturers
• organizations pulling as stoutly and
determinedly for mere protection,
which means higher taxation. .A
'great deal can be said on both sides,
but we think the farmers have the
best a the argument. But as self
preservation is one of the first laws
of nature, the Government may be
expected to view the situation from a
a somewhat selfish stand -point, 58
to how the changes may affect the
standing of the Government, and act
cordingle. They can not afford to
ton their lintel( on either faction.
,They will try tosugarcoat the pill
So as to make it as palatable as pea -
titbit) to -both Parties. The farmers
have, roundly speaking, the votes,
and the manufacturers have the ' &h-
ews of war,"., and the Government can,
not get along very well Withottteith-
er. Renee, their task will be to make
such changes, which, while they may
red absolutely pletee hoth will not
cerioui3ly displease or alienate either.
They will draw the line as fairly
as p ossible between the two parties.
Hence, the probability is, that the
present 'tariff,which, although too
high, has 'given good satisfaction,
and the- country has prospered under
It, will not be radically' or even ma-
terially a1tered.0 Only such changes
will be made asare necessary to
'make it ,confirm more closely with
the changed conditions which . tithe
has wrought. Should this prove to be
the case, neither faction will have
sufficinet cause for complaint to
form a grievance,
In the bye -election -in East Ham-
ilton eonstituency, to fill the vacan-
cy in the Ontario Legisfaturehaused
by Henry: Carscalleit's death, there
arer two candidates in the field,„ a Con-
servative and.a Labor candidate. The
Libeealt3 have decided not, t� place a
candidate in the field but *ill large-
ly support the Labor man. The con-
stituency is Conservative but an am-
algamation of the Liberals and the
labor orgaIzationet may result in the
election of the Labor'candidate as

Another of the' i Canadian political
land marks has been removed. Sen-
ator • Vidal died at his residence in
Sarnia ire Sunday last. He WAS a
native of Berehire, England, and
born in 1819. He came et Canada
when. 16 years of age. He was a land
surveyor and -civil engineer by .pro-
fession, but later in life became a
bank manager. He was one of the
first white settlers in La.mbton county
and during this seventy years,, reale
dence in Sarnia saw the town grow'
from six 4og houses to its present
prosperity. He was prominent in
politics and temperance. He twice un-
successfully contested the county with
the late Alexander McKenzie, and has
been a. Member of the Senate since
Confederation. He had beehA

years President- of the Dornin on Al-
liance. i

Speculation in the Northwest, es-
peCially as far . as Ontario is con-
cerned, is being over shadowed by the
big stories from Cobalt, and the public
eye is being turned in that direction.
There le no doubt but the Cobalt
mines are very rich, while the real
developement has scarcely commenced,
But it' would be well for sensible,
sober, everyday People not to be car-
ried off their feet be stories of rap-
idly acquired forturies. It will' be,
there as it has been elsewhere. The
fortunes will be made by the few, and
the losses be the many. Those- who
are on the spot and who are Tor-
tunate and get in on the ground
floor mey.make money, bet those who
invest their' geed money in shares of
oy,er-capatalized companies will be
almost sure . to 'lose and most, if not
all the companies now being fleateh
are over-capatalized. Common people
should be very carefel of how they in-
-vest their money in these speculative
•
ehterprises. •They should .make a
thorough itivestigation, and be sere
that they are getting good „value for
their money before they part with' it.
And even' then the Investment is not
overly safe.
The Dominion Pirliament opened on
Thursday ., last with the usual dis-
play. -Thi speech from the Throne, or
the sesigional programme, was
have been delivered on Friday, whJh
it was expected the hotise would ad-
journ entil the following lehnday
The addrese in reply to the speech
from the Throne will be moved by
Mr. Pardee, of '‘West Lerobton, and
will be seconded by a French mem-
ber. This is expected to be a len-
thy and important session. The most
important bus iness will be the revis-
len ot the ta,rlif. The changes to be
made Will' likely be rannouneed be-
fore the Christmas holidays. The soon-
-er this is done the better, as there(
is always an uncertainty in the public
mind as to what the changes will be
aid this has an unsettling effect on
business. The statement lilts been
made that thss present may be the 'last
session of the'peesent Parliamentary
term; that ,soon after the close of this
:seesion Parliament will be dissolved
and there will be a new election.
We do not think, however, that there
is much probafdlity of this. There
will still be two seasions of this term
and members *ill not very -willingly
forego the indemnity for two ses-
sions. Should such a course be de-
cided on by the Government there Will
be some tall kicking on both sides
of -the House.
The Educational Advisory Council,
as provided for by the recently a-
mended Educational Act, has ,now
been nearly completed. This Board is
composed of two representatives el-
ected by the public school Inspectors;
four by the public school teachers;
two by the .high school teacherreand
one by the Separate school- teachers.
They are elected by the votes of the
class which they represent. The dut-
ies of the Board are purely advisory.
They consult with the authorities of
the Education department, and if
their recommendations agree with
the views of the Minister of Educat-
ion they may be adopted, otherwise
they will be neglected. The Minister

Streaks of good luck, like streake
Of bad, seldom mime 'Jingly. This is
being exemplified in the ease of
_ . .
the Ontario Government. Last session
they had legislation passed, reserving
for the use of the Province the miner-
alized portion of what is known as
the Galles limit In 'Cobalt This land
Is being developed, and a mine is be-
ing sunk under the direct super-
vision of the Government, the idea
beteg, if fohrid profitable, the mine
will be operated Eta a Government en-
terprise. It is now 'stated that these
reserved lands ar6 likely to prove
immensely rich, and that a company
of capitalists has offered the Govern-
ment fifteerr rnillion dollar's for min-
eral interests on these lands. The
offer,e of course, tempting as it may
be, can not be accepted without the
torment of the Legislature.

Toronto 'University seems to havll
struck a streak of good luck. Ac-
cording to an act passed last SeS-
Edon by the Legislature the Univer-
sity Is hereafter to receive an amount
equal to fifty pet. cent of the collec-
tions from succession duties, the -a-
mount to be based, on the receipts oh
the preceding three years. The re-
ceipts from succesdion duties ere
continually and rapidly growing. The
receipts from _this source thie year
will be at least one third: larger than
ever before. This, of course, will

terially increase its facilites and .use-
'fulness.The University also gains
in other- ways. Several years ago the
Legislature set aside a large-
47
of Provincial lands, 'the proc 9(di of -
which were to be devoted to his in-
stitution. These lands at the time
were not -considered', to be of much,
value, except for the timber on them.
Of recent years, however, on account'
of new railways and -the discovery et
mineral deposits on them, they are
proving to be of great value, and, of
course,' the University will keep the
