The Right Attitude Those who bring rata prejudice into play in reeding the Liberal press of Ontario will :not find: reason to cam. plain of the, attitude of these papers towards, the charges inade against Air. Stratton, says the Toronto. Star. From the first the Liberal newspa- pers have insisted that there must be (1n engtidry that would bring out the evidence in its entirety. They refuse ed, naturally, to accept the unsupport. ed istatementn of M. Gamey int iso serious a matter. No charges; could b:'. more serious theist those which he made, and every man in the Province who had had faith in the Ross Gov- ernment declined to accept those char_ gea until they glad' been] made good in court. 'The Liberals, found. it as easy to suspect Mr. Gamey of concoct - hag his story int order to secure the overthrow of the Government as the Conservatives {found it to suispect Mr. :Stratton jf doing want wars charged against him in order to buttr,essi the Government when it wale shaky. V is no light thing to ask hun;dredsl of thousands of people to believe1'that e • Cabinet Minister in; a. Government they re- spect and keep be office has been guilty of buying the support of.a member of the Legislature. People, therefore, wanted a full and fair trial, and such a a .:trial is now in, progress. It suits} the purpose of some cri- tics to deserib:a the Liberal press as anxious to destroy the, accuser and save the acoused at any cost, but such is not the attitude; of the Liberal press. The true interests of the 'tarty will bash be, served, by the lay- ing bare of the truth, whatever it is, beeause the country( is young, the party has a long future, and big and busy times approach. What the party wants is to see the Government vindicated if it le entitled tor be clear- ed of the charges) made against one of its mmember,s, and; if it is not bo entitled, the best interests of the par- ty will b3 served) by the; exposure of guilt, thus freeing thei party from those who have done) it a, worse in- jury than defeat would have 'been. This is the view:, that prevails ;among Liberals everywhere as we meet them. They bold no other( view•. Burt they have more reason than before for dis- crediting crediting the story told by Mr. Gamey. He is flatly contracted by Frank Sullivan, but he was, largely discre- dited before Mr. Sullivan, en ered the box. His lawyers dropped' him and refused to be saddled with responsi- bility for him. They- distrust' much of what he, has said, and are not sure as to what he may say, or do before the enquiry ends. Such being the situation, people aro now saying that Mr. Gamey's story need.5 to be con- clusively corroborated ere it canbe believed, as hie word cannot be accept- ed.. It is generally supposed that the plresecuting counsel know of or sus- pect important concealments in Mr. Gamey's evidence, and lave their own reasons for distrusting him. At any rate, he is at rapidly dwindling in- fluence in the case. .. h' CURE SICK HEADACHE. A Bad Breath 1A bad breath means a bad stomach, a bad digestion, a bad liver. Ayer's Pills are liver pills.

CANADA'S TRANSCONTINENTAL Where it will go and What it Will Open Up. In the April issue of the American Review of Reviews, Mr. E. T. D. Chambers present's a most inter- esting sketch of the Canadian 'Trans- continental Railway system. "e After outlining the great ,sueces.s achieved by the C. P. R„ the progress of the Groat Northern, and the needs of the country, he points out. that the proposed line of the Trans- Canada Railway is ono of the most direct that can span the continent. Starting from deep water terminus at , Chicoutimi, the head of naviga- tion on the Saguenay River, at Que- bec, and at Muntroat, it is'dee tined to traverse and develop the best part of the newly discovered wheat ;Ind timber lands of northern Quebec, in the James Bay District, to tap the whole of the James Bay and Hudson Bray trade, to open ;rp •the valuable mineral country of northern Ontario, cross the centre of the rich wheat lands of the Peace River valley, and finally to reach ono of 'the finest ports on the Pacific coast by a pass in the mountains only 2,000 feet high, as compared, with 4,425 at Crow's Nest, and with 5,400 at Kicking Horyo !Bass. ' . . , From Quebec to Fort Simpson Pia - Railway,will be tilt Trans -Canada only 2,830 miles, all of the route south of the northern limit of wheat while the difference between the Istame points via the 'Grand Trunk Itt:iiway, will be about '3,400 miles, and that fromm Quebec to Vancouver er by the Canadian Pacific Railway is 3,078 miles. "The expected saving in bot): • distance and gradients by the proposed road over existing rouges from Manitoba. to the Canadian 'sea- ports on the St. Lawrence is so great that the prone() tors have already un- dertaken to celery wheat from an points on its line in the province if Manitoba to the ocean steamer at Chicoutimi, Montreal, or Quebec, at rates which will save the farmers of A. enitoba and, the Northwest about seven cents firer bushel on the present cost of transportation to the seaboard.

If you work for a man, work for hitnul If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him— speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him, and stand by the institution which he represents. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is -worth a pound of cleverness. If you must condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position. 13ut do not, so long as you are a part of an institution, condemn it. Not that you will injure the institution—not that—but when you disparage the con- cern of which you are a part, you dis- parage yourself. Everywhere yon find these out of a job fellows. Talk with them, and you will usually find that they are full of bitterness, and have a sour ugly disposition—often constitutionally imperious.This is the 1 of do lawtrade, not find fault with the concern nor with your employer. The reward is only for the man that helps. Run down the insti- tution of which you form a part and the man who employes you, and you are loosening the tendrils that are holdiug you to the institution, and the first high wind that comes along yon will bo up- rooted and blown away to the blizzard's track—and probably you will never know why. The letter only says, "Times are dull, and we regret that there is not enough work," etc. Everywhere you find these out of job fellows. Talk with them and you will usually find that they are full of railing bitterness, and con- demnation. That was the trouble -- through a series of fault-finding they got themselves swung around so they blocked the °helmet and had to be dyna- mited. Every employer is constantly looking for people that can help him ; naturally he is on thelookout among his employees for those that do help, and anything and everybody that is a hinder- ance has to go. This is the law of trade; do not find fault with it; it is founded on nature. The reward is only for the man that helps, and in order to help you must have sympathy.—Exchange.
