The road between eget-soli sad Woodstock, which paralleled wo steam roads, had been a dos paying con- cern, giving a semi-annual divideud of six Sr coot., and it earned no freight.

I TARTt from the Cabinet, and give the impression that Mr. TASTE dismissed by the Premier. These papers simply pervert the facts, wilfully or ignorantly, and in either cars art not, reliab o gwaee to their readers. There are always vultures who delight to settle down upon the carcass of • lion, bet they usually make sure that the lion is dead before they settle down. In the preeeut case our gleeful contemporaries are a little "too previous." It is quite true that Hon. J. I. TASTE has resigned from the Cabinet, and that the Premier has accepted his resit. nation, but it is not true that Mr. Tatra is dead, politically ; neither is he sleeping i nor has he left the Liberal party --an some of 'the minor politicians and short-nght. ad newspapers would have the people of Ontario believe, and as our Tory friends fondly hope and pray tor. Run. Mr. TASTE has carried out hie oria ginal intention by submitting his resigna- tion to the Premier at the first opportunity after the arrival of Sir Wtt.yttu Latrines In this country from Europe, whither Ile had been for some months past Sir WILe rain has not had a great deal of time to ac- quaint himeelf with the question et ram., but has deemed it proper to aomilit the ree- ignation of the Mini.tmr of Pu' lic Feorks. There is no personal foaling iuvolved [s the resignation or its acceptance. There is no room for ghoulish glee on the part of Libor. ale who are opporet[ to Mr. TARTS'. views, and there is no reason why the Tories should rejoice that they have succeeded in capturing their strongest opponent, Hon. J, I. TARTS ie, first of all, a bey paper man who believes in a progress! pulley for Canada. Atter that he in etateeman who has endeavored to do mon for the development of this oountry the was ever attempted by any of his predecese t on in office. He Is in favor of trade an tariff reform suitable to the times and con ditione. It he cannot have a free band as stateemen, owing to the holding back of th toil -enders amongst his colleagues, then h must needs grapple with the great ques- tions through his power as a newspaper edi tor. Anil that's what he will do. For weeks past Ron. Mr. Taws las beet from end to end of Ontario, and in some o the other Province,, feeling the public pulse.
