of the questions that Aare dealt with h
from tune to time by the local House d
have made him familiar with every it
Ir
phase of provincial politics and fully of
qualified him for .the responsible post- n
tion that a majority of the people seem L'
resolved to honor him with at the first h

opportunity. He is a fluent, and pleas- a

ed public man is .not known to -day t

men. The affairs of the Province will a
be safe in the keeping, and administra- D
tion of such a man as Mr. Whitney. t
In all the addresses by Mr. Whitney s
r
and his colleagues, charges of waste- c
fulness, incompetency and lack of fore- i
sight were driven home with telling t
effect against the Hardy administra-
tion and many facts laid before this:
people that aroused them to It sense. of ,
the danger that lies before the Pro- 1
Pro-
vince unless a decided change is t
brought about in the Government of
Ontario. The vast timber wealth of i
the Province has been sacrificed to i
meet defieits in the treasury ••c r by 1
year as the result of reckless and waste- '
ful expenditures ; the rich mineral
resources have remained almost, unde-
veloped because of the stupid and
blundering policy applied to these
districts, a policy against which the
whole northern part of the Province is
practically up in arms; the fine agri-
cultural lands of Algoma and Nipissing
remain largely unsettled because of the
Illiberal and shameful treatment ac-
corded to farmers who were per-
g*ded some years ago to buy
land in these districts and settle
therein; the jobbery and robbery
in connection with schools and
school books, the favoritism, blunder-
ing and unwise disposition of public
monies in regard to educational affairs,
the tyrannical rule of the head of the
education department, all came in for
merciless criticism and exposure; the
double faced dealings of the govern-
ment with the liquor dealers and the
temperance peop P and the retrogres-
sive enactment of recent legislation in
the local House on temperance Matters
were fully exposed ; the improper
management and wastefulness at the
Agricultural College and. Farm were
dealt with in a manner to prove to the
farmers that a great change is needed
in that department.
It must be evident to all who atten-
ded these meetings that the allegations
of Mr. Hardy and his colleagues and of
the Globe newspaper, that the Oppo-
• sition is weak and that there are no
men on the Conservative side of the
House fit to assume the responsibility
of govering Ontario is the utterest non-
sense and braggadocio. It is also an
insult to the constituencies that sent
these Conservatives to the Legislature
EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS IN ON -
7 ARIO,
TheOn tario Government boasts much
of what it has dune for the Public and
High Schools of the province but the
public will scarcely believe that the pro-
vincial aid to the furtner is only about
$50,1100 peryear tilta a than it wits twen-
ty, five ye trio ago and to the latter a-
bout $21,6tl) n►ore. lis 18513 the total
expenditure for education purposes
was $702,569 of which sunt the grants
to rill Publiciand Separate Schools was
$280,373, and to High Schools $100,000.
From this it \rill be seen that it re-
quires about as much to rim the depar•t-
inelital services as is given in direct
aid to the :schools.
Again tine people of Ontario are Ac-
customed to glory greatly over (ut• so-
called free schools. Free• they are it,

Parents of children attending schools
Ili this province have been systemati-
cally and openly dis boiled for years to

THE PROI7NUTAL FINANVES.
One of the most important que,stions
that tiny administration in Ontario
will have to deal with in the near fu-
ture is in respect to the provincial finan-
ces. For several years past out, ex-
penditures have fax exceeded our or-
dinary receipts. To make up the de-
ficiencies the Government has been
compelled to sell off vast tracts
of our valuable timber, lands
frorn time to Habra and finding that
even these resources were not stlfftci-
ent to balance their ledgers they inau-
gurated a yearly sale of Annuity bonds
to raise money to pay off indebtedness
falling due on railway bonuses, thus
mortgaging the Province for many
years to come. Up to 189.1 the amount
of Railway Certificates and Annuities
issued by the Government was $3,813,-
310.88, the then present value of which
