Sir %Mind Tisch.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier returned on Fri-
day, and was given a grand ovation at
Quebec and also at Ottawa. During his
abeence, he had a little trouble with
his stomach, whicit gave rise ,to the
stories of his ill-health,but he is in good
health and excellect spirits. He has

Ron. Mr Tarte Retires.
. At the request of the Premier, Mr
Tarte handed in hisresignation as Min-
ister 'Public Works, and the same has
been accepted, This was due to the
tact that Mr Tarte, by ------recent
4peeches, was pursuing a .'course that'
.was unconstitutional, as he _bad no
right to:discuse openly a_ poitcy •that
bad fl
t ,rist been approved of 17. the
m
That there are a good many • people
Who agree with Mr 'Tarte's views; can-
not be gainrid, but it was nOt the na-
ture of ht e npiniene that called for his
resignation,. but.thefact, that he ex-
pressed them without -the concurrence
of his colleagues.
Mr Tarte's letter of resignation' was
written in a friendly strain, wishing
Sir Wilfrid speedy restoration to health
and also expressing hie wiobee for the
future welfare of his colle„aguea,moat'nf
whom had been kind to hire. Mr Tette
added that he preferred freedom. of
speech to 0,011 the ;treat honor of be-
ing a minister.
In his letter of acceptance, Sir Wit.
•
r poin ••
a r arte's Wan s
led him to inform. His Excellency that
he would have to demand Mr Mute's
resignation of the portfolio. Sir Wil-
frid pointed out further that the minis-
ter's &Wen was such as to impede
the, prngress of constitutional
government, and entirely at variance
with custom. Mr Tarte, the Premier
added, should have brought his 'views
before the Cabinet, with a view to get-
ting unanimous consent, and if failing
to do that he would have to conform to
the views of the majority or resign.
Not until he did this was he free to ad-
dress the public. ,
Mr Tarte's retirement weeps the
withdrawal ()fa good man. His admin-
istration of the Public Works Depart -
meat has been ;dean and free from the
-,elighteet taint ot corruption. That he
is a ma.n of ability is admitted by all.
Speculation is rife as to what be may
do. From our personal knowledge of.
him yee believe he will re-enter the
Journalistic field. He has always liked
thisdepartment, and several times
stated to us his intention of going into
it,and now that his sons have bought a
Liberal paper at Quebec,' we Would not
be at all surprised to see him take 'up
his old duties, at the same time retain-
inghis seat as a private member of the
House. .

It is not Often that the Toronto Tele-
gram (Conservative) has anything plea.
sant Co gay of Liberals, but it pays. the
following Pleasant coMpliment to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier ,
"Canadians differ among themselves
at to the exact natiobal value of Sir Wil-
frid Laurier's Life, but they are unaui-
moue in their desire that hislifeshould
be prolonged. The retnrn ofSir Wilfrid
is good cause for rejoicing in the ranks
of the party which otves so much to hie
talents and good fortune and in the
conntrywhiehhas.been well slerved„hy_
the Premierin England: The necessities
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position inEng-
land displayed his strength and con-
cealed his Weaktiese. The eloquence and
iMpressive personality of WiffridLaur-
ier Were brilliantly useful to Canada.
NO other man in the 'public life of the
country could have done better, and it
Is a question ' whether Canada has
another politician in her_iiervice who
could have done as well."
