The first definite stage of the election contest has . been passed with the nomina- tions which were held in all parts of the Province on Tuesday hist. The reeult is that two Liberals have been. elected by ac- clamation, in Prescott and South Bruce. In Prescott this result was expeeted its no op- position had been offered against Mr. Evan- turel, the late speaker. In South Bruce, however, the result was uncertain until the last. Although no supporter of Mr, Wait - 'ley bed been in the field, it wan expected that al Patron would stand. In the 94 con- stituencies in the Province, the Liberals have 90 candidates. Mr. Beek, the inde- pendent candidate in Monk, has retired, leaving a straight contest between Mr. Hare court, the Provincial Treasurer, and Mr.Gal- braith. In Centre Bruce Mr. Shouldice, the Conservative candidate, has retired, leaving the field to Mr. Malcolm, Liberal, and Mr. Macdonald, independent. In North Essex a third candidate, Mr. Joseph Martin, has aps peered in the field. London is blessed with a plethora ot candidates, two independent labor candidates, in addition to the nominees of the regules parties, having been put up. In East Middlesex Mr. Shore, the Patron candidate, who wait a member of the Legis- lature just diasolved, has retired. North Oxford, like London, haa four candidates, two independents and the nominees of the two parties. In South Renfrew three candi- dates are in the field, and the same number in North York. A Pertinent Question.' Let any intelligent elector..consider for a moment the situation of the 1:rovitice of Ontario, so far as its public affairs are con- cerned. Property and civil rights secredly protected and safeguarded, an educational system thoroughly established the equal of any in the world, boa self-government by munieipidities broadened and extended un- til a very part ot people's lives, generous provision made for all the defective and unfortunate classes of the community, the rights of labor enshrined in the etatute book, agriculture -the dominant industry of of the Province -aided and encouraged in a hundred ways, and the publie assets of land and timber honestly administrated for the public benefit. Daring 27 years of satisfac- tory progress in these particulars a Liberal administration has' been in power at Toren - to, and these are the very things with whieh it has chiefly concerned itself. Could this advance all along Osie line have been possible if Reform government fe the hopelessly cor- rupt and evil thing which our Tory friends affect to believe ?- On the other hand, if it la true that by their finite ye shall know them,' is net fair to presume that a large share of the prowess and prosperity 'which Ontario has enjoyed is due to the beneficent adminietration of her affairs ? If so, what &eject is to be gained by changing servatits.. Liberal Prospects Bright. Before another issue of THE [EXPCSITOR appears the vote of the people of Ontario 7 will have decided whethiar the Hardy Gov- ernment is to be re -entrusted with the reins nf office, or Whether they are to be handed over to Mn Whitney. Elections are prov- erbially uncertain, and we do not profess to be able to read the future. But coming events cast their shadows before, and if the nvalanche which the Tory newspapers say ie about to overivhelm the Liberal party were, really iminent, it would by this time be visibly obstructing the daylight. Nothing of the kind, however, is in sight. On the contrary, the news from all parts of the Province is most encouraging to the lovers of good government. There was a Liberal majority in the late House of about 15 aver Conservatives and Patrons combined., though the latter voted as often with the Government at with the Opposition. In order, therefore, to overthrow Mr. Hardy, the Conservatives must retain all the seats, they DOW hold,' apture all the Patron ones and replace eig t or nine Liberal membera by their ,own andidenes. This involves a aerious change in public opinion, Of the exiatence of wh oh there is no proof what- ever. The party led by Mr. Whitney has not been atrenghtened, but weakened, for the present fight. The retirement of two such prominent men as Mr. Howland and Dr. Ryerson was calculated to give the im- . pression than they had no hope of their party coming into possession of the treas- ury benches aa the result of this election. None of the Conservative leaders in Domin- ion politice from Ontario, now out of a job, have deemed the chances of success hopeful enough to induce them to throw in their lot with Mr. Whitney. That gentleman has'at his back nothing but the old guard, so often rejected by electors, and it will be passing etrange if the electors endorse them now. The western part of the•Province has al- ways stood for an honest and capable admin- istration of public affairs, and it will do so again. No part of Western Ontario has a longer and more consistent record for attach- ment to the Liberal cause, both in adversity and prosperity ;- and we are confident that when on the night of the first of March men all over Ontario ask for news of the three Hurons, the reply -will be as ustal, " solid for good government and a Reform visible -signs of the return of the Lin, eral party to power,' it 'behoves every mem- THE MAIM highways to the Canadian Yukon, and 'al - :though occupied by the United States Were in disputed territory. Had the Dominion Government consented to this proceeding, because if it had, it might beinterpretedto mean that this country had . abandoned its claim to the disputed territory. He warn- ed the Government to be very cautious, otherwise we might be treated to a repiti- tion by the United States of its conduct in the San' Juan affair. Sir Wilfrid Laurier replied that the Do- minion Government was not aware that it wase the intention of the United States to send troops to Skagwaf and Dyea. Al- though this was disputed territory, the United States had enjoyed the occupation of it since 1867, and so far as he was able to learn, without protest from Canada. The question of the delimitation of the boundary between Canadian and United States terri- tory in that region was now occupying at- tention. Sir Charles Tupper pointed out that there was now before the United States Senate a bill providing that bonding priv- ileges on the Stickeen river should only go into effect on the "proclamation of the Presi- dent.' The Same bill also proposed that bonding privileges on the Strickeen should only be granted to Canada inreturn for the extension to United States fishermen of ad- vantages in our Atlantic waters which were denied to them by the treaty of 1812. He thought the Premier would appreciate the gravity of the matter, and that he would take steps to prevent the adoption by the United States of such a policy as was pro - Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the Government's attention had been drawn to• the matter,and he was glad to know that the bill referred. to had not yet become law. For his part. he could not entertain the idea that the United States executive had any intention of sanctioning a law which in any manner departed from treaty obligations. Replying to Mr: McInnes, a�Yanconver, it Wilfrid Laurier said the Government hd reason to believe that Maj. Walsh had issued an order requiring all persons enter- ing the Yukon district to carry with them provisions for not less thanaix months, and to avoid misunderstanding, the police sta- tioned on the boundary were instruct- ed in the early part of this winter that tb could no more than advise people not to proceed to the interior with "less than the amount of provisions named, but there was no authority under which force could be employed. The Yukon Railway. The arrangement which the Dominion Government has made with Messrs. Mace keezie and Mann for the construction of a railway from Glenora on t Stiokeen river to lake Teslin, is standingithe beat of ad- verse criticism very welli The route has been approved as the best under all the circumstances, and every one is agreed that the Government did well to stipulate for au early completion of the work, for if it ix to be done at it Inuit be done at once. The only point of controversy is the price to be paid for building the road. This takes two forms, viz. : A monopoly of the route, and a land grant of 3,750,000 acres. The monopoly will do the country no harm, for the rates of freight and ttavel are subject to Government control, and t are to be autematically reduced at the end of five year periods. The land grant is really the crux of the bargain. Every one who knows anything of placer mining, knows how ir- regular the value of land in mph a region is. A paying claim may be sineoundea on both sides by worthless ground, while such a thing as square miles of veluable placer territory in a block is seldom, if ever, found. It. is only along the banks and in the • valleys of streams, preaent or pre -historic, that placer gold occurs. Hence in chopsing their land, the contractors must *necessarily take in much that will prove to contain no gold,and as it will have no agricultural value it will be absolutely useless. On the other hand, they may secure some very itch valleys, with gold enough to repay them for their -outlay in building the railway, perhaps = more. But in any event they are taking big chances. The railway will coat them probably between four and five inillione of dollarnand their prospect of return is almost wholly a speculative one. It is to be hoped that the jealousy of our American cousins w not lead them to adopt bonding regula- tions which will have the effect of practic- ally closing the Stickeen river to British and Canadian vessels. This danger is threatened. Should any sech action be taken, the Dominion Government would be tuatified in meeting it with strong measures. THE DOMINIONPARLIAMENT. OTTAWA, February 21st, 1898. It has been Klondike week in the House. The Yukon country and affaint have monop- olized the time and taken precedence, and after a, week's hammering at the Yukon Railway bill the Opposition have only suc- ceeded in proving that thesmeasure has ex- tremely few vulnerable points. The changes premised by the Government in response to Opposition criticisms are that the majority of the directors& of the railway shall be British subjects, that the line must be oper- ated as well as built by the company to se- cure the grant, and that the reservation of alternate sections to the Government shall apply in the case of extensions as well as in regard, to the original blocks. These changes have been arranged for because they are reasonable. The Government wishes to do the best it can to perfect' the bill, and hints of a usetul sort are not re- jected, as they have been under former ad- ministrations., . because they come froM 'the Oaposition benches. The attempt of the Conservatives to discredit the measure on account of the land grant has failed signally. The Government has doted an arrange- ment with the Canadian Bank of Commerce by which a branch of ehat great financial institution will be established immediately at Dawson City. B. E. Walker, general and Senator Cox represented the bank in putting the arrangements through. The Dawson bank will not only be a great convenience to the miners, but will aid the Canadian Governnient in collecting the 10 per cent. royalty exanted on all gold ts.ken in the gold fields. 'Gold will be accepted at the bank and drafts given to 'miners on any bank in Can- ada for the amount of gold received, except 10. per cent. royalty, which will be deducted and handed over to the Government. Diafts will also be given on banks in San Francisco Chinage and New York. Miners will not lee charged any commisaion or ex- pense in obtaining their drafts. Gold will be weighed at the bank and dratts given for the amount. The gold will be kept in vaults and con- veyed mit of the country by a -military es- cort. Mimes will be enabled to walk away with their 'drafts in their pockets. The convenience which the arrangement will afford will be a great inducement to them to pay the royalty. • An Order -in -Council ratifying this agree- ment between the bank and the- Govern- ment has passed the Cabinet. The Japanese may go into the Klondike and take their chances with the other na- tions of the' world. Senator Macdonald, B. C., called the at- tention of the Government to the necessity for prompt action being taken for the pur- Tose of excluding all persons of the Japanese race from recording and working: mineral cliims in the Yukon district. He had no objections to either Chinese or Japanese eoming into the country as laborers but , thought that they should be prevented,from taking up the mineral lands of the Yukon. The Government should act at once, so that notification could be forwarded to these peo- ple by their own consuls that they would not be allowed into the Klondike to take up lands. The Minister of Justice said that Japan was recognized as a civilized nation, and was subject to the duties and privileges of a country within the domain of international lain Moreover, Japan was a powerful na- . tion as well as a civilized one and, person- ally, he doubted if it would b'e a politic step to attempt to place the people of that na- tion on a different footing from other civil- ized nations in this.regard. Senator Almon thought that it would be exceedingly unwise and unfair to subject to such an indignity a nation which has risked its national.existenee to fight for British interests in the East. Senator Macdonald explained that he had no desire that the Government should ex- clude the Japanese altogether, but simply preveet them. from taking up mineral lands. Similar laws existed in Japan with regard to foreigners taking up mineral lands, and if this wa,s so he could see no reason why Canada should not exercise the same rights. Attention was drawn in the House by Lieut. -Col. Prior to the report that the United States Government was sending two coetpanies of troops to Dyea- and Skagway. Helpointed out that theporte named formed South Huron Nominatio trys • The nominations for South H on took place • at Hensail, on Tuesday last, Mr. Irred Kibler, of Zurich,the returning officer, presided and proved to be the right man in the right place.

THE MADIE BLoWN UP. -The United States battleship Maine, which was station- ed in the Havana harbor, was blown up last week, The explosion, the origin of which is a mystery, shook the city from one end to the other. Most of the officers were din- ing on board the ward line steamer City of Washington and thus escaped death. It is supposed the explosion -caused the death ot 258 of the crew and two officers. STANSPELD DEAD. -The Right Hon. Sir James Stansfelcl, who had held the offices of Lord of the Admiralty, Under-Secretary for India Lord of the Treasuty, President of the Poor Law Board, and 'President of the Local Government Board, ne dead.

He supported Mr. Gladstone's 1 Home Rule policy, and in 1886, on the res- a ignition of Mr. Chamberlain, succeeded him as President of the Local Government EXPOSITOR Board, re-entering the Cabinet for the first time for twelve years. ADRIFT ON THE ICE. -Twenty or twenty- five men, who were fishing through the :ice about twelve miles from the shore on Lake Erie, near Buffalo, are believed to•be adrift on the ice or to have been drowned. A heavy east wind caused the ice to break away from the shore and to drift up the lake. Since early in the evening in which they Went, nothing has been seen or heard of the fishermen, •although large search parties are looking for them along the shore and along the breakWater.
