—Dundas Banner (Liberal); Wher-
ever we turn, bribery, dishonor, dis-
honesty, corruption, stare us boldly
in the face. What an example is
being given aur growing youth, the
boys who will be called on to replace
the men of to -day in handling the
helm of the great ship of State and
steering it through troubled waters to
a port of safety. To what end will
the lessons tend which are being given
them day after day? Are they not
bo*and to absorb some of the evil at
least, and, if so, can we hope for a
purer life with a higher ideal from
11 them than we have from their fathers?

—A
k
new system of communication
has recently been installed on the line
of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com-
pany. The system is called a telegra-
phone, and by its means itis possible
to telephone and telegraph over a
single wire at the sante titne without
interference, Through the courtesy
of the company controlling the sys-
tem, the following facts have been
furnished to tate department :—The
telegraphone instruments are for the
use of railroads, and connection is
made with the ordinary telegraph
wire used by the iailway company for
directing trains. It is possible to talk
for a distance of from 60 to 75 miles
through sin telegraph instrurnents on
the regular despatcher's wire. If the
wire is not so heavily Ioaded it is pos-
sible to talk for any distance up to 200
miles. A set of instruments may be
carried in the baggage car of the train
and by its use the train crew can talk
to the despatcher from any point of
the line. The time required to make
connection is one minute. The tele-
graphone is connected to the tele-
graph wire by means of an extension
pole with a clamp on the end which
hooks over the wire without damaging
it. The method may be learned in
one demonstration.

--Prof. Goldwin Smith, over the
signature of Bystander, says in the
Weekly Sun :—The most cool-headed
and competent observers telt us that
corruption reigns at Ottawa. The edi-
tor of the Government organ there
leaves the place in disgust at the
shameless dishonesty which prevails.
"The callousness and carelessness," be
says, "of the public men of to -day, in-
duced by a seeming belief in the ad-
miration of the people for smart trick-
ery and corruption, is offensive to any
icon who hopes to find statesmanlike
ability, common honesty, and straight-
forward dealing in the chief council -
house of the country." He contrasts
the present deadness of the public
conscience with the horror shown at
the Pacific Railway scandal. Since
that time opportunities for graft, es-
pecially in connection with railway
companies, have greatly increased;
while in both parties alike any sort of
distinctive principle such as might
give moral life to a party organization
has faded away. In what other legis-
lative assembly could be found an es
hibition of corrupt influence so general
and so shameless as that which we
were called upon to witness in the las
session of our Canadian Parliament.
What greater misfortune can befall
community than total loss of puhli
respect for its national council and i
Government ?

BEGIN AT THE TOP TO -DAY.
(Toronto Star, Liberal.)
The men who can do most to stop
fraud and corruption are the parts
leaders, and especially the leaders of
the party in power. The best toursa
that the members of the Dominior.
Government can take at the present
moment is to admit this responsibilit
fully and frankly, and act upon it.
The Government of the day is abso
lately responsible for the character of
the election officers, the returning offi
ter, and the deputies. It can insist or
these being men of good character,
just as it insists on the honesty o1
clerks hi the post -office. It can insist
on the returning officer maintaining
his independence, and refusing to sub
mit to the dictation of politicians an
patronage committees. It is withit
the power of the government to elimi
nate fraud and • tampering with tht
ballots with almost absolute certainty
The Government can put a stop tc
public corruption, that is, to the offer
of public works in return for votes,
It is not enough for a Minister to sad
that he is not personally making these
appeals. He can repudiate there, not
generally, but specifically, to -day is
North Bruce. He can declare as often
as the appeals are made, that the Gov
ernment -will treat North Bruce with
impartial justiee, no matter nhether
it may support or oppose the Govern
went. He can declare that the Gov
eminent respects the independence of
the electors of North Bruce, and will
not seek to destroy it by threats or b
bribes. He can declare that the Minis
ters are servants and trustees of the
people, and have no right to use the
trust funds for purpose* of bribery
He can repudiate all those who see
