The seat has been declared vacant, by reason of the numbering of the ballots in one poll at the Dominion election in• November last. . �. -The disturbances in Russia con- tinue, and great rigor is displayed in suppressing demonstrations. From St. Petersburg come stories of ahnost incredible brutality towards suspects. Students and women have been inhu- manly tortured and flogged to obtain confessions. The strikes continue, and in many of the towns military repres- sion is all that prevents outbreaks, and trade is stagnant. + r+ -A resolution has been introduced into the Ottawa City Connell asking the Dominion Government to take over the government of the city, and place it upon a footing similar to that of Washington. The city would thus be governed by commission, but the citizens would lose their franchise, and the council and aldermen would be abolished. The part that tempts the present aldermen is lower taxation and the prospect of the Government spending a lot of money in improve- ments and in other ways. * r * -The total value of Canadian cattle sold or slaughtered in Ontario last year was $25,867,000, upwards of nine and one-half millions rnore than for 1898 ; the value per head of the cattle disposed of was $35.03 in 1904 as against $29.18 in '98. The total value of sheep slaughtered or sold last year was $3,074,000, and the value per head $4.22, as against $2,400,000 and $3.70 seven years before. The value of the hogs disposed of in this Province last year was $10.39 per head, or a total of $22,532,000, as against $7.44 and $11,- 852,000 in 1898. 4 s r -Full returns of the vote cast on January 25th are now to hand :- Conservatives 238,713 Liberals 204,658 Whitney's majority34,055 The vote for Independent candidates was 2,530; if this -is added to the Lib- eral vote it gives Mr. Whitney a ma- jority of 31,510 over both. The stand- ing of the parties in the Legislature is thus :•- Conservatives 67 Liberals 31 Conservative majority 36 + - + The Clinton News -Record says: In a fair fight Mr. E. N. Lewis was elect- ed member for West Huron by a handsome majority. Had he used un- due means there was the court to ap- peal to, but his opponent did not take action. However, because of doing a good turn to a Liberal friend, some doubt has been cast upon his legal right to the seat. It is a trifling mat- ter and nine out of ten of the electors of West Huron say it is too contemp- tibly small to take advantage of. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is of this opinion and so stated in the House the other day. - - ----1n the last Dominion election in Manitoba, it wasfound that a large number of fAmservatives were dlsfl'an- ehiseci by having their names marked od or erased from the lists, The Re- turning OMeer in Pr'ovencher swears that he left the lists for that county r with I.eectt, the Liberal. organizer, and that they were not returned in the same couclition, .A. warranthas been issued for the arrest of Level*, who, after the elections, wasappointed to a government position. There are sev- eral other constituencies where the lista were tampered with' after being sent from Ottawa, and the Manitoba Government will press investigation into the cases. --There was a sharp debate at Ot- tawa last week over the resignation of Mr. Blair from the Railway Commis- sion, and the appointment of Justice Killam as his successor. The discus- sion arose over a proposal to allow Justice Killam the same retiring al- lowance after quitting the commission as he would receive if he remained With the Supreme Court. It was pointed out by the Opposition that Justice Killam would, during ten years' service on the Commission, re- ceive a total of $30,000 in salary in ex- cess of that received by hien on the Supreme Court. Objection was also taken to the promotion of judges; this tended, it was asserted, to cause jud- ges to look forward to preferment, and thus place them in a position of suppliants to the Government, Mr. Maclean. of South York, during the debate, submitted Mr. Blair to a well- deserved castigation. After putting the country to all the expense of or- ganizing the Commission, including purchase of a special ear, he had quit his post without a tnoment's :yarning, leaving a host of important cases, in- clusive of those presented by the far - niers' organizations in ,Tune last,un- finished. Elul heever(t man deserv- ed IfaFlie b eel punishment of some kind, that matt le Mr. Blair, declared the mem- ber for South York. The Ministers declared they did not know the cause of Mr. Blair's resignation. ':_ -Ontario has been exceedingly lib- eral in the matter of donations to rail- ways, Up to 1903, the Province had given to railway corporations $10,- 000,000 in. cash and eight and a half million acres of land ; the land as the country develops becomes equivalent to cash. Notwithstanding this, the railways do not give the people of On- tario any 1}rivileges that the people do not enjoy that have never paid a dollar in cash or an acre of land. Besides giving the i'ttilways so much, Ontario has demanded a very small tax from them. Up to the present time the taxation borne by railways is light in- deed, when compared with that of the fanner. The Conservative party sug- gested the formation of a Provincial Board to assess railway and other cor- poration property as a whole, and the division of the taxation so raised be- tween the Province and 'the munici- palities, the former taking, say, 15 per cent. and the latter 85 per cent. In any case, the giving of railway subsi- dies should cease. * + R -War causes terrible suffering at any time, but the campaign in pro- gress now between Japan and. Russia is especially full of agony for the sol- diers at this season of the year. A correspondent, in picturing the'scenes accompanying the recent fighting in Manchuria, says :-"The cold is of Arctic intensity. The fingers, hands and feet of the men were benumbed, while stinging snow and dust blinded them. The slightest wound caused excruciating pain. Warm blood no sooner exuded from lacerated flesh than it began to freeze. The wounded could not be left exposed, and if they did not receive attention within an hour they died. The surgeons, their assistants, and nurses were almost powerless in the bandaging of wounds, for they were obliged to wear leather gloves or mittens in order to resist the cold. The men seemed to lie living again the horrors of the winter cam- paign of 1812 against the Turks. Ev- erything that could be done was done, but man was powerless in the face of nature, which heaped torture upon the troops." + * -The most important question com- ing up in connection with the proposal to organize the North-West Terri- tories as Provinces is that relating to Separate schools. Separate schools are guaranteed ander the Territorial Constitution, and the question is as to whether this guarantee is to be con- tinued in the Act creating the Terri- tories into Provinces. Already a good deal of discussion has been heard at Ottawa on the question and a good deal more will soon be heard in the Territories. The President of the Winnipeg Liberal Association, in an interview in the Toronto Star, has de- clared that he is opposed to sectarian schools, and declares that the Terri- tories should be allowed to have Na- tional schools. The President of the Young Men's Conservative Club of the same city says he does not believe the Territories will tolerate Separate schools. On the other hand, W. H. Youhill, a prominent Catholic in Win- nipeg, says nothing but Separate schools will satisfy the minority. It is quite possible that within a few months we may find ourselves in the midst of a conflict equal to that which raged over the Manitoba school ques- tion a few years ago. - .I: RUSSIA'S INTERNAL SITUATION. tion on the street, and has made it H. legal to. introduce Polish papers into the country from abroad. Suspects have been freely transported to Sibe- ria and elsewhere, and even the lands of the Poles have been taken from thein. It is natural, therefore, to find the Pl(sin Russiatake advantage of their enemy's ilitllculties in an effort to recover some of the rights taken front themselves. Tap NEW. I Al31NET, Ontario itis a new Government. Mr. Whitney has chosen his colleagues and they have been sworn in, as fol- lows ;--- HON., J. P, WHITNEY, Premier and Attorney -General. HON. J, J, FOY, Toronto, Commis- sioner Of Crown Lands. }ION. A. J. MATHESON, South Lanark, Treasurer. HON. R. A. PYLAE, Toronto, Min- ister of Education. IRON. NELSON MONTEITH, South Perth, Minister of Agriculture. DR. BEAUME, North Essex, Com- missioner Public Works. HON. W. J. HANNA, West Lamb - ton, Provincial Secretary. Ministers without portfolio :-- HON. J. S. HENDRIE, Hamilton. , HON. DR, %VILLOUGHBY, East Nortltyntberland. HON. ADAM BECK, London. Mr. Whitney has shown good judg- ment in choosing his assistants. The new Government is composed of safe rather than brilliant men, of practical administrators, who "will have the courage and capacity to give the Pro- vince clean, honest, progressive gov- ernment. Ontario will expect then to do their duty. The members of the Cabinet with portfolio must appeal to their con- stitnents. for re-election. The bye - election dates are fixed ; February 21st for nominations and 28th for polling if necessary, but it is thought that no opposition will be offered and that the Ministers will be returned by accla- mation. The New York Post, in an article explaining the present situation in Russia, says the immediate cause of the troubles now -existing is partly industrial and partly political, but the origin of the trouble is found in the political situation. For some years advanced thinkers in Russia have been striving for political reforms. Find- ing it impossible to stir an isolated and ignorant peasantry to action, they turned their attention to the masses of" factory operatives, brought into indus- trial centres by the protective policy recently adoptsd by Russia, The work among these began with organizing these operatives in a union with the avowed object of itnproving their ma- terial condition. Once organized it was a comparatively easy matter to start a political agitation through the anions. Thus it was that on the occa- sion of the recentdemonstration in St. Petersburg the demands which were to have, been presented to the Czar included both political and industrial reforms. In Warsaw wholly different causes are found for the distttrbaneea which have oceurred in Poland's old capital t that trouble is of national or race ori- gin. The Poleshhave never ceased to rebel against the conditions imo sed upon theta when Poland was divided between neighboring nation,;, Russia, - In order to break down the insnrree- tionary spirit among the Poles within her ptnpire, has prohibited the use of the Polish language even in aoilv'ersaa- u muniia.l,111111 1i.I111 SPEAKERS OF LEGISLATURE.
