They are very few questions indeed coming up where one portion of any county would be likely to suffer by reason of not having sufficient repre- sentation. Expenses of the Lieut -Governor The most sensible proposition that Mr Marter has made for some time, is the motion to abolish payuaent of the Lieut -Governor's household expenses. Ever•since Confederation it has been practise for the Dominion Government to pay, the salaries of these ornamental officials, and for the Provinces to pay 'their household expenses. A good many people are justly of the opinion that with a salary of $10,000 a year, they should pay their own household expenses. While the Empire endorses Mr Marter's proposition, it suggests that the Dominion assume the whole pe,ynaent, salary and expenses. There is nothing to be gained by this change. If the Local government pays the ex- penses, the money comes out of the'. peoples' pockets, and it is the same for the Dominion. This is a democratic age, and it is, becoming more so every day, and the people who have been in the habit of footing the bill for all arms of governmental extravagance or superfluity, are getting tired of so doing, and a very strong feeling pre - that retrenchment must be made somewhere. - The government_ has expressed no opinion so far on Mr Marter's proposi- tion, but we certainly hope they will endorse it when they do, ever if the reform comes from the other side oft 'the hous e. It would hardly be fair to the pres- ent Lieut -Governor to make the pro- posed bill operative at once. Let it go into force on the expiry of the pres- ent term of officle, and then any aspir- ants for the honor would know just what they would receive. The abolition of the office of Lieut - Governor itself will be the next reform advocated, and it cannot come too soon, but the Confederation Act will have to be amended before it can be accomplished.

Cnt Conservative: papers ,are "trying to secure the support 0 the Patrons of Industry by alleging that the Conser- vative and Patron platform are iden- tical, It will require ''Something more than mereassertion to convince meet people that such is the case, but it shows the willingness ofsome people, toseek support in any and every quarter. Look at several of the planks in the Patron platform. Here they are: Abolition of the Senate. .. Tariff:for revenue only. Reciprocal trade witbethe-Werld. `---Preparation---of- ~Dominion -.and -Pro- vincial voters' lists by the muni- cipalities. When did it become part of ilia' o i= servative policy to advocate the aboli- tion of the Senate? Everybody knows that the Liberals have been derided time and again for their desire to abolish this superfluous institution, but the day is coming when the Con- servatives will advocate its aboliton. simply as a matter of public policy. When did the Conservatives decide on a "revenue tariff?" Sir 3ohn Thomp- son has time and again expressed his determination to stand by "a protec- tive tariff," and the Conservative press support hint. 'There is a vast difference between "protective" and "revenue.' The denunciation of the Conserva- tive press concerning the infamy of the Dominion Voters' List, have, of course, been of the most bitter kind. They always advocated uniform lists, to be prepared by the municipalities. 'bey have never tried to prove that the Dominion lists, as at present pre- pared, were far superior to those pre- pared by the municipalities. Oh, no. Well, if the Conservative and Patron platform are no more in harmony than they are on this particular point, they are not very much alike, and to tell the truth, we do not believe they are. A matter of nota little interest and considerable importance has sprung up in connection with the Patrons of Industry, and is likely to cause trouble in the organization. It is the old one of how far loyalty to the order should destroy the right of free judgment, so far as supporting parliamentary candi- dates is concerned. The head of the order, Mr Mallory, and its newspaper, The Farmer's Sun, have been preach- ing the" doctrine that a Patron must sink his individuality and become as clay in the hands of the potter. In other words that he should suppont the Patron nominee. We do not know whether this is one of the principles of the order, but it is at any rate its teaching. This substitutes for the bonds of partyism, which the Patrons have set themselves to break, a, new form of tyranny, if that word is not too harsh, and is not being readily ac- cepted by members of the order. It must be admitted that in a couple 'of instances the Patrons have, seemingly, . stood together in voting, but we are inclined to think that the old party. feelings, both with Liberals and Con- servatives, will prevail when a pinch 'q„ ., comes. One of the associations of the Patrons of Industry in North Grey hag passed a resolution protecting against the doctrine of supporting drily Patrons, which it describes as "a false and /Forced interpretation of the Patrons' obligation, The members of ii H-awthorne Association believe that life ahem to bu oze `t`iie t ci cr�"er ail deprive the of their ' liberty to 'Vote AO their noneoletice directs, .wiil ineeip, silty r0aUlt113 the° break4ip and COM - Ontario Cabinet Change.' Hon. C. F. Fraser, Commissioner of ,Public Works, has resigned on account of ill health, an announcement that will be heard ar of with regret by many Conservatives, as well as by thea Lib- beral party. By the retirement of Mr Fraser the Ontario Cabinet.: -loses one-- of neof its -ablest, most painstaking and re- liable members, and it will be no easy task to fill his place. The; leader of the Opposition, as well as the Attorney - General, paid a graceful and well - merited tribute to the excellent quali- ties of the retiring Minister. Until his successor is appointed Mr Fraser will continue as nominal head of the department, which it is considered probable may ultimately be presided over by Mr W. Harty, M. P. P., of Kingston, but will not be _responsible for any acts of the government. It simply means that Me Fraser will con- tinue to hold office until the expiry of the present term, which is not an un- reasonable thing, as the term will ex- pire in a few months, and there is no occasion whatever fpr the uneasiness of the Conservative press over what they call "an irresponsible officer." Commenting on his retirement, the Globe says:- "The consolatory featnre of the sit- uation is that the Province has been able to command the services of such a man as a Minister for more than twenty years, and that under him there has been carried to coinpletion the erection of the Parliament buildings, which, in the words of one of Mr Fras- er's colleagues, "are an ornament to the city, a credit to the Province, and a lasting monument to the ability and integrit, of the Commissioner of Public Works."

A Denver correspondent of the Ca- nadian Baptist, has this to serconcern- ing a yoou�ng man who at one time filled with Innen acceptance the pulpit of the Baptist church, in Clinton: -"Mr E. Seldon, formerly a student of McMaster University, now the pastor of Judson Memorial Baptist Church, Denyer,Col,, was ordained in this city yesterday. Nearly all the. Baptist churches of the city were represented in the Council. There were also delegates from church- es of neighboring towns. The candi- date having given satisfactory evidence of conversion and call to the ministry of the Gospel, was asked to state his belief of Christian doctrine. This was done so 'satisfactorily that the Council, without any parleying, voted unani- mously as to Ins qualifications for the Christian ministry. The ordination took place in the evening. The house was filled to overflowing. Bro. Seldom, as all who know him will say, is an earnest worker for the Lord. In Jud- son Memorial Baptist Church the work is prospering in his hands. Many will remember that Bro. Seldon was com= 'ppolled to come West on account of ill - health. We are pleased to find him looking so well that we cannot but he- lieve'that he has many years in which to work for the Master." Mr Milne, reeve of Grey, is the Pat- ron candidate in East Huron. He is a Liberal. Mr Gibson, Reform, and Mr Dickenson, Conservative, are also in the field. The Ontario ballot is the same as the British ballot, and it has never ' been alleged there that the ballot is not per- fectly fair. It has never been proved here, nor can it be, that the number- ing of the ballot is unjust, and to talk about telling how men vote by it, is moonshine. Supposing they can tell, who cares anyhow, not a dozen men on either side in any municipality. The Globe is authority for the state- ment that Sir John Thompson is mak- ing an effort to take Mr Meredith into the Dominion Cabinet, after the next Local elections, in ease Mr Meredith should not be successful in gaining power in Ontario—which is exceeding- ly unlikely.

It was a jury case, who awarded a verdict for plaintiff of $50.

The subject of Mr Gladstone'° resig- nation is revived in a way suggesting that there ratly be some foundatten for the report. The Pall Mall Gazette, the St, James Gazette, and the Westmin- ster Gazette publish articles almost identical in substance, indicating that Mr Gladstone will resign at an early day. The reason given in each is that the Premier's eyesight is failing so fast that his vision will become wholly ob- scured if he does not immediately retire from active political duty. It is also stated that it was the intention of Mr Gladstone to allude to his approaching resignation in the House of Commons, hut he was dissuaded by bis colleagues from doing so. Amendments. The Globe, in its parliamentary sum- mary, says: - Mr Garrow has introduced an amend- ment to the election law, providing that sailors and others working in the United States and maintaining homes in Canada shall not be disfranchised if compelled to take the oath of foreign allegiance in order to secure or retain employment. Mr (farrow has also introduced a bill intended to lessen the cost of execu- tions. It provides that a Division Court Clerk may issue an execution direct to the Sheriff on a judgment of that court, without the necessity of carrying it through the County 2ourt;' that one execution may stand against land and other property, and also that an execution shall be permanent. At present the necessity of issuing an ex- ecution through the County Court en- tails a fee of $10. The requirement for a separate execution for land and for other property and the necessity of yearly renewals greatly increase the attendant costs. Legislation in the direction of lessening the price of law seems always welcome to the public. thMr Bishop has renewed his attack on the law which enables townships to assess tee counties in which they are located for oe maintenance of bridges over 100 feet 1 ng. It is hard to make the municipal act go evenly into every question of re- sponsibility for bridges, roads and reclaim- ed swamps, but it is comparatively. easy to alter it to suit each new case arising. Mr Bishop olaime that the effect et the present law is to induce townships to ex- tend their bridges over the broke of streams, thus bringing them within the 100 -foot blast'. It Oleo bears heavily on townships having roads' to build through swampy lands. They must bear the, ex. pence of such roads, and also a share of ttia'"ovinlio"'c!-'-thr`'bridotliahig h-• com e nndePthe,j;ieliatibnof the County., The present law whichMrIliebop willes to change ase pissed #hreeesioneego.

It is a fact very well under- stood and recognized among prison author- ities that the health of convicts improves very greatly during their term of ithprison- ment. It could hardly be otherwise. The prison buildings of Ontario are clean, well ventilated and comfortable; the food is plain, wholesome and sufficient without being too plentiful; .the exercise regular, without involving exposure to bad weather. All the conditions are wholesome, and as a rule ninety-nine convicts out of every hundred are the better bodily for their im- prisonment. Of course, the condition of the mind is an influence on bodily health which is rcpt to be overlooked, and no doubt some convicts of the McGreevy and Connolly class suffer from that cause. It is possible, too, that some of the regular healthy' regimen is not enforced on such as they. But why is it that so much consid- eration is shown for the health of political criminals as compared with ordinary of- fenders, and how is it that when the rule is that the health of convictsimproves, that it so happens that the health of both Mr McGreevy and of Mr Connolly is found to be in danger of permanent injury. It may be that in view of the escape of the higher planed criminals of their clique, these men should be pardoned and releas- ed, but let the true cause be ascribed.- Montreal Witness.
