HON. MR. ROSS' SPEECH,
as both parties honestly admit its exis-
tence and unite in eradicating it. But
a single year's maladministration of the
public heritage would entail irreparable
injury. The result of a repetition of
Dominion Conservative escapades could
never be remediect. Forest wealth once
alienated could never be regaiued. The
loss would be irreparable. The disposal
of timber by the Conservative operators
led to court prosecutions aud the retire-
ment tef some public men to private life.
But that was but a poor satisfaction to
the taxpayers whose property had been
alienated. Electoral corruption they
could reform, but the timber wealth cer-
ruptly bestowed 011 favorites could not
be regained. The only safe policy is to
leave this great heritage in tried and
trusted hands till such times as the Oppo-
sition leader and his followers show
themselves capable and worthy of public
confidence. Their helpless incapacity
is seen in their utter lack of political in.
itiative, and their reliance on a corrup-
tion cry to carry them into positions for
which they are in no way competent."
The people had a foretaste of the way
in which the timber of the province
woanybe parcelled out to politieal favor-
ite- fnuder Conservative rale in the man-
, in which the limits in the disputed
.fierritory were disposed of when it was
e claimed by the Dominion Government
under Sir John Macdonald. Limits
were then sold for a mere song to politi-
cians without either bid or tender. How
much worse would be the spoliation
under Gamey, tie prospective Tory Min-
ister of Crown Lands, we leave it to the
reader to imagine.
Liberals can safely leave to the leaders
of their own party and to the courts the
stamping out of electoral corruption,
but they must work to prevent the pub-
lic domain passing into corrupt and in-
competent hands. The Liberal Govern-
ment of Ontario have safely guarded the
public interests, and wisely and econom•
ically administered its affairs. Not a
single scandal has marked an adminis-
trative record of thirty-two years. That
record stands unparalleled in the
political history of the world. Would
it be a wise act to break that record at
the present time when so much is requir-
e ed to be done in the development of the
pruvince? The sober second thought of
the people will, we believe, answer this
question in the negative.

tuition to damage him in the estimation
of his fellow citizens.
His clear and able exposition of the
administrative record of the Govern-
ment, his convincing exposure of the
obstructive policy of the Opposition, and
his frank and manly treatment of the
charges brought against the Liberal
party, were worthy ot him as a states-
man, a candid man aud au orator. They
will appeal to fair-minded men of all
parties; they are to sufficeent auswer to
the reckless aud malignant mad -throwers
who seek to defame him by falsehoods
and cunning half-truths.
The Premier' e challenge to Mr. Whit-
ney to place his finger on one ballot box
that has been stuffed by a deputy returu-
Mg officer under the Liberal rule; his
exposure of the method adopted by the
Conservatives to prevent prosecution of
persons charged with guilt in the Prit-
chett case, aud the Minnie M. case, of
which they talk so much,make good read -
nig. Nor did he confine himself to de-
fence ;he carried the war into the enemy's
camp, and exposed to public gaze its
waluderuus past and its hateful present.

MUNIdIPAL.
The nomination for the Mayor, Reeve,
Deputy Reeve and Councillors for 188 5
took place oa Monday last. The follo w-
ing were nominated: -
For Mayor.
H. W. 0. Meyer, John Neelands,
George MoKay, George McKibben, John
Hanna and B. Wilson. The contest will
be between Messrs. MaKay and Nee -
lands,
For Reeve.
The Toronto Tory press, and the
alleged independent press, which is
worse than Tory, have so overdone
abusing Mr. Ross that a reaction has set
in, which bids fair to greatly strengthen
the Premier in the country.
The Mail seeks to disprove the state-
ment that although 10,000 ballots had
been supplied in 1896 for the Winnipeg
election, they were nevertheless ex-
hausted at 4 o'clock, by pablishing the
total vote cast, which was less than
5,796. What has this to do with the fact
that was sworn to in the courts?
If anything were wanting to prove
that the reterenduni vote was ',loaded"
by Tories to "put Ross in a hole" the re-
cent vote on local option in Iroquois
proves it. In the referendum vote Ina
quote gave its voice for prohibition by
147 to 22. The local option by-law was
defeated the other day by a majority of
5. Let the Dominion Alliance take note
of this.
Mr. E Dunlop, late member for North
Renfrew, was one of the speakers at the
Ottawa Conservative convention. Of
all subjects in the world he held forth
on electoral corruption. The Ottawa
Free Pres, says very aptly: -
"Was it not something like Satan re-
proving sin for a youug gentleman who
has just escaped the election courts,
where he would in all probability have
been disqualified, as he expended, ac-
cording to his own showing, nearly
eight thousand dollars for personal ex-
penses!"
When all the Dominion election re-
turns are in the total vote will be 1,000,-
000. The Government will have a
majority over the Conservativea of about
60,000, and over all parties of nearly
50,000. The returns from McKenzie in
the Northwest, and, the Yukon, have
yet to be received. Then there -are no
figures for Gaspe and L'Aesomption in
Quebec, Dauphin in Manitoba, and
Comox Atlin, B. 0., where the Liberals
were elected by acclamation. Allowing
the ordinary vote in these eonstitueneies,
the total vote will be over 1,000,000, and
the Gotrernment majority beet the Con-
servativee about 60,000.
For purists of the first water our Con-
servative friends have 'h record, even in
recent times, which leaves them no
ground her boasting over their opponents.
Here is the record of the two parties in
the matter of seats vacated by the courts
since the last general election of the

Since more boys than girls are born
in the countries of western Europe, the
proportion being 1,040 to 1,000 boys to
every 1,000 girls, how can we account
for the fact that there are more women
than men in these couutries? To this
question af. de Varigny, a French set-
' enlist, replies at length in a leading
Paris paper. "Since there are more
women, although more men are born," .
Ito says, "we must conclude that more
men die than women because they are ,
not as beelthy. There is no other so- •
lution, and, moreover, all the obtains '
ble facts point in the same direction.
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys, Many persons think
that Biel prineipal reason why more
men die then women is because they
lead Intemperate lives; but, though
there may be some truth in this,'it can-
oot be the sole solution of the prob-
lem, as the mortality among males is
greatest during their early years, be -
tore they know whet vice or intemper-
ance means,"
Savages First to Wear Mustlehest.
In Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without beards, but in the
conquering days of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the mune of barbael, or weavers of
beards, attempted to shave in imitation
of their conquerors, but as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is notorious-
ly the hardest part of tbe face to shave
in the case of any one poorly skilled
in the art they Were unable to make a
clean job of it and left a quantity of
hair on the upper lip. This mark was
characteristic of several nations on the
confines of Roman civilization, of the
Gauls In particular, of the Decians and
some others. The Latin language has
no word for musteche.
The Distance to the Sun.
If the water in the Atlantic ocean
were made to fill a circular pipe reach-
ing from the earth to the sun, a dis-
tance of 93,000,000 miles, the diameter
of the *sine would be 1,837 yards, or,
rather, over P mile, while a pipe of
similar length to contain the Pacific
would be over one and three-quarter
miles across. Yet the distance to the
sun is so great that. if a child were
born with an arm long enough to reaeh.
to. the sun it would not live long
enough to know that it had touebed it,
for sensation passes along our nerves
at the rate of 100 feet a second, and to
travel from the sun to the earth at
that rate would take one and a half
centuries, and such an abnormal In-
fant is an unlikely centenarian.
The Value of Fresh Air.
In the museum connected with the
Edinburgh university is an exhibit
that is a striking object lesson of the
value of fresh air. .A. professor has
secured the lungs of an Eskimo, a
Londoner and a coal miner. He has
had them preserved by cberaidal proc-
ess, and they are now side by side in
a glass case. The Eskimo's lungs are
pure white, the Londoner's lungs are a
dirty brown, and the coal miner's lungs
are jet black. The Eskimo bad kept
his lungs clean not because he knew
more about breathing than the Lon-
doner or the coal miner, but because
he lived in a land of snow fields and
spent his time in the open air.
When the Hand Is Kissed.
In Germany and Austria the custom
still prevails among the upper classes
of society of . the men kissing the
hands of the ladies, although the prac-
tice has been abandoned in England,
Scandinavia, Spain, etc., as well as in
France, except among certain of the
members of the ancient regime in the
Faubourg St Germain at Paris. In
Austria the women are accustomed to
make a distinction between the right
and the left hand. Thus the right
hand is extended to be kissed by in-
feriors, while the left, as nearest the
heart, is reserved for the kiss of . peo-
ple of equal social rank.
Won the Bolden Ball.
A former sultan -so runs the story-
affered a golden ball for lying. Many
lied to him, but the sultan replied that
be could himself lie better. Finally an
aged man from Angora appeared be-
fore him with a large jar on his shoul-
ders. "Your father," be said, "borrow-
ed a jar like this full of gold from my
father and said that you would repay
the gold to his son." "Impossible!"
said the sultan. "If the story be true,"
replied the pilgrim, "pay your father's
debt. If impossible, I have won the
golden ball." The sultan at once
awarded him the prize.
A DUFFY Soldier.
The Westminster Gazette reports the
ease of an English officer who was sta-
tioned for two years at Cairo and who
never took the trouble to go out to
look at the pyramids. In explaining
his failure to see those landroarkis of
progress he said, "What with polo and
parties and bridge and cricket I never'
bad a minute to inyeelf."
