Whitney's platforlll:---'4We oiler you the good intentions of honest men, who are honest enough to be bold and bold enough to be honest," Mr. Ross's platform :-•-- "t\`'e will jolly you along in the sante old way, keeping our promis- es when it suits us," ---Trusts are still being multi- plied. Among those now projected are two -one is to be formed in the United States of all the hardware mercantile interests, with a pro- posed capital of $120,000,000; fin- other is a gigantic new steel trust, with a capital of $200,000,000, to compete with the United States Steel Corporation, - ' -According to the auditor of the Clergue syndicate of the Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., the pay -roll of the allied companies during Febru- ary reached $120,000, and, in ad- dition, $60,000 was' paid out for wages at the mines and along the line of railway. These companies disburse for material from $500,000 to $750,000 monthly, but Febru- ary's total amounted to $900,000. Altogether there are about 4.000 men on the pay -roll. -This is how the Weekly Sun refers to the Dominion Parliament: "The machine for grinding out favors and privileges for railway speculators at our expense met on Tuesday of last week. In one hour and 40 minutes it passed six and laid over two bills -an aver- age for the six of 10a minutes each, as compared with six hours manoeuvring to drag the life out of the Cattle Guard bill." .. -Eton. G. W. Ross says "Build up Ontario." Of course --Why not? Tho Liberals have been in power over thirty years, and ap- pear to bo just now awaking to the necessity of action. In three de- cades, they should have had the work of "building up" well ad- vanced. Instead of that, Mr. Ross seems to have just discovered that New Ontario is not the worthless country he declared it to bo a few years ago. Since he has discovered that fact, his method of "building up" seems to have consisted iu giv- ing away to speculators vast areas of many square miles of the natural resources of the province. Out of these valuable concessions, the speculators will make fortunes. This may be "building up" bank accounts for a few favored individ- uals, but by no stretch of imagina- tion can it be called wise legislation towards building up Ontario. -One hopeful sign of the present campaign is the stand that so many ministers of the gospel are taking. Speaking of the ballot frauds that have marked so many elections during the past few years, Rev. Mr. Farthing, of Woodstock, • says :- "The forces of evil have lately. grown very bold and have felt strong enough to come out of their hiding places and appear in day- light. No truth -loving man, no man who values his own liberty, will attempt to excuse these crimes against the State. They are far more serious than crimes against individuals. Three men who at- tempted to destroy a commercial highway, and risked the lives of many people, have been severely, but not too severely, punished. The men who have conspired to rob us of our liberties -for he who robs us of our ballot to -day does that -is just as great an enemy to our country as these three, and if they are not speedily stopped, will do more lasting injury to our coun- try than would have been done by this last outrage." a " + -A short time ago, the Christian Guardian, a leading religious week- ly, had an excellent editorial on "Corruption in Voting." Among other things, the Guardian said :- "It is sad, beyond expression, to think of the condition of cor- ruptibility that has been begotten and fostered in Canada, in Mani- toba and Ontario. The flippant way in which these serious crimes are dismissed by our public men, and the careless way in which they are treated- by the press,- these are signs that iniquity is wrought in the land, and the peo- ple love to have it so. We cannot establish all the corrupt facts in the courts, but the fact that the foul odor of political corruption has been offensive to all pure citi- zens as it has rolled on through the courts and the press, is enough to awaken all the moral forces of our fair province to denounce and destroy the forces of corruption." What the Christian Guardian says is true -sadly true. The beat way to mend matters is to put better men in high places, and let the cor- ruptionists and those who have shielded and defended them be taught that such things will not be tolerated. Yes, it is indeed "`i}tu Fon. A. 0IHANt1n," a.n(1 we hope that when the editor of the Guardian casts his ballot, it will be to correct the abuses of which he complains. THE SCHOOL 11QOK8, At the atmuat meeting of the Ontario Zino tion al Association, the policy of 11,1r. Whitney on the schools and publishing of school books was endorsed, and resolu- tions passed condemning "the• text books at present in use, and de- manding that new ones be prepared in the near future, and be submit- ted to the public school teachers for their approval before being published." The whole question was ably threshed out, Mr. WI Moore, the president, thus referring to the high schools : "The High school course is too broad:and cum- bersome to be useful. Since so few children get, beyond the public schools, every effort should be made to improve them." The sup- plying of the children in the public schools with books at cost price was also advocated. Mr. Ross and the Minister of Education were both present, and the adoption of Mr. Whitney's policy almost in full on the school question must have been anything but gratifying to them ; and this was done in the face of a promise from Mr. Ross "to introduce at the next session legislation assisting in the superan- nuation of teachers." Evidently the members of the Association failed to be influenced by the bait thrown out by Mr. Ross, and stood firmly to their own opinions in the interests of education, THE PRICE OF BEEF. The advance in the price of beef is causing considerable comment. Some. have attributed it to the operations of a Beef Trust, When all the circumstances are taken in- to account there does not seem to be any ground for this statement. The fact is, there is a scarcity of beef cattle, and as the supply and demand vegulate the price, the price has advanced. The Advance has gleaned a few facts that may be of interest on this subject. In England beef cattle recently sold for 14:1 cts. a pound dressed weight. The United States has been a large source of supply for England's markets, but now better prices can be obtained in America, hence a reduction of the exports of meat to England. In New York, porterhouse steak sells at 30 cts. a pound, and all kinds of.meat show an advance of three cents a pound over last year's prices. One of Toronto's leading cattle dealers says :-"Not only in Cana- da, but also in the United States, is there a scarcity of cattle. This is shown by the fact that American firms have had men in Canada for six months buying beef cattle. The demand for beef is universal, but the supply is limited. The con- ditions in Canada and the United States cannot improve till grass-fed cattle can be placed on the market, and this will not be for months. Farmers have been shipping their stockers to the United States, and have nothing to fall back on. I expect to see the price of beef go still higher." The Weekly Sun says :-"Every- thing points to the prospect of a continued firmness in the Canadian cattle market. Some three years ago it was thought a wild predic- tion when the possibility of beef cattle reaching 7 cents in Chicago was hinted at. Since thea the best cattle in Chicago have run away beyond that figure. It will not be surprising, under existing condi- tions, if we find the 7 cent limit reached in Toronto before the pres- ent summer is over." Toronto butchers' prices now are :-Round steak, 121 cents to 15 cents; sirloin, from 17 cents to 20 cents; porterhouse, from 18 cents to 20 cents ; prime ribs, from 17 cents to 20 cents. The coarser parts show a corresponding in- crease. Cuts from the chuck have gone up from 8 to 10 cents ; shoul- der and brisket, from 7 to 9 cents ; and shin and neck, from 5 to 7 cents. The Toronto World says :-There is only one way for the man of moderate means to break even with such a game. It is to stop eating beef and shift to a diet of albumin- ous foods, with occasional eggs or pork. At this season of the year, authorities say, the body does not require meat in any cluautities, and if there were less meat taken there would be less sickness. Under the circumstances, it would not be a great hardship to practice a little self-denial, both for the stomach's sake and for the pocket's sake. Butchers find it difficult getting fat cattl.'.
