--Ross is still making appointments;
but can a government without a ma-
jority, and represemating a minority of
the people, make appointments that
ttuuettller government is impend to re-
rpc
• ▪ *
--The total vote cast in Ontario on
Nov. 3 was 440,478. The Conservative
vote was 40,017, Liberal 217,828, Inde-
pendent 2,033.. The vote for Valentine
Itatz hi Middlesex is included in the
Independent column.
e *
The Weekly Sun says; -Froin a
partye
standpoint, a
tbPremier has
Made a mistake in holding the election
back so long. His chances of success
would have been ninth better had he
gone to. the country while such enthu-
siast as was created by the Liberal
Convention was still at its height,
The cork has been out so long the fizz
has disappeared.
" • *
-The Toronto News (Independent)
says :-"The case of Sault Ste. Marie
election stands out as one of the most
complete and comprehensive pieces of
electoral villainy in the history of
Canada. The constituency had to Im.
won. The life of the Government was
at stoke. Nothing was left undone,
fair or foul, that could be made to pro-
long its existence." Hence the trip of
the Minnie M. with the knowledge of
the Attorney -General.
*
*
-Hon, MacKay, one of Ross' new
Ministers, expressed a desire that
every one of his doings might be close-
ly examined, and then he went to the
court at Owen Sound and objected to
the investigation in the North Grey
election ease, on the ground that the
seat was vacant. So anxious was he
that the investigation should be called
off that he volunteered to pay the
costs, if the Conservative side would
agree to call the thing off,
* . *
--One of the strongest arguments
advanced in support of the Ontario
Government during the last two or
three elections has been the alleged
danger connected with the turning
out of men of experience and the put-
ting of inexperienced men in their
place. That argument can no longer
be advanced. Mr. Ross has taken in
as Ministers four amen wholly without
experience in the work of administra-
tion. Mr. Whitney will have no diffi-
culty finding men of superior calibre
to the latest accessions to the Ross
Cabinet.
*
-Canada's censusspecifies forty-
five different religious denominations.
Canada has over 8,000 priests and
ministers. The Catholic Church has
2,500 priests ; Methodists, 2,000 minis-
ters; Presbyterians, 1,600 ; Anglican,
1,500 ; Baptists, 000. There are 2,229,-
600 Roman Catholics in Canada. There
are 2937,606 Protestants in 14 denomi-
nations in Canada. There are 10,000
Jews in Canada. There are 10,000
members of the Salvation Army in
Canada. There are 31,797 Mennonites
in Canada, and 10,000 members of the
Y. AL C. A.
-Alderman McCoig, a staunch Lib-
eral of Chatham, was requested to be-
come the Liberal candidate, and this
is what he said: -"Definitely and posi-
tively I will not be the candidate. I
couldn't if I would and I wouldn't if I
could. What use would it be to me to
go down to the Legislature and sit in
some back bench in Opposition ? Anti
what use would it be to my constitu-
ents to have me there? I think the
Ross Government is a goner. They've
been there altogether too long and
they've got too many heelers and
hangers-on. The whole thing is cor-
rupt and rotten, and I believe they
should be turned out. No ; I tell you
solemnly and honestly, I wouldn't be
their candidate if I could."
s * *
--Optimists believe that Dr. Stephen
Smith, surgeon of the eye department
of Battersea Park Hospital, Notting-
ham, England, has discovered a new
treatment ofthe-
eye which will l
s I lac
p
tically abolish spectacles. It is styled.
"manipulation of the eye," and is gen-
tle and gradual, occupying a few min-
utes daily, causing no pain and having
no injurious effect of any sort. Some
patients are cured in a week, and in
all cases improvement is rapid. Thirty
patients who had been obliged to wear
spectacles for a long time have so far
been treated by Dr. Smith, and, with
a a single exception, all have discarded
glasses and can now read, at either
long or short distances, as well as peo-
ple who have needed assistance, The
cures of myopia, hypermetropia and
astigmatism are said to be permanent.
-Walter Mills, son of the late
staunch Liberal, Hon. David Mills,
said, at the Ridgetown meeting of the
East Kent Conservatives, he was well
known as a life-long Liberal, but he
was pleased and proud to stand on the
platform in support of the Conserva-
tive candidate, Mr. Eowc y er, a, roams to
be esteemed and loved. It was in the
interest of the province to clean out
the men who bad tarnished the good
name of Ontario by corruption. It
was, Mr. Mills said, time for a change.
A letter Was read froth Rev. Edward
Softley, lector of St. J'ohn's Church,
to the convention, in which he said s• -.
"I feel it my duty to speak mm. word in
condemnation of the briizen dishones-
ty and perjury which the courts have
proven to be associated with the potty
now in power, and I trust his majes-
ty's loyal opposition will make it their
aim in the present crisis to fight
strenuously for the maintenance of
our national righteousness and moral
rectitude,"
