Br • NOTES AND COMMENTS The Tory organs argue that Garnay's Eltery is probable because Ross' majori- ty was not large. That sort of reasouiug works both ways. The majority being sznall,there was more of an inducement fo abaneloued opponents to plot to wreck ' it by putting up a job like Gamey's. Better wait for the enquiry; hear the evidence before judgment.—Hamilton Times. Tho following reference to West Huron's member of the Ontario Legisla- tion is taken from the Kingstou Whig: — "Interest is deeply centred in public cir- ' cies on the new members of a political chamber,. qud on Tuesday. at Toronto, ,.., •. ,Q Macy 'were much gratified at the muicl• • en effort of M. G. Cameron, of Goderich, son of the late veteran polttician, M. C. Cameron. Clearly he is a chip off the old block, for he marshalled his facts and Made his points like a veteran. Being ready also in debate he will be a marked strength to the ministerial benches." "Where died. the money come from that was used ao bribe Gamey?" is the question that. orae are now pressing for- easletinao'the place of first importance. i. Mr. Stratton says the money did not come at all. If the commission finds that the money was used, the report, when placed before the Legislature, will justi- fyeninquiryinto the matter. Moreover, as both parties are known to have cam- paign funds, the people who want an in- quiry cannot object to it being made in- ssources of .both funds.—Toronto 4 Star. After 50 years of prohibition, ti er- now tirade that the saloon keepers of the cities worked strongly for no. Recuse, es in the past they lead simply* to make the ,necessary "financial. arrangement" with the police, tr hioh they held to be eheap- er titan payiug license fees. Never get it into your head that you are too good to miugle with "common people," Nice clothes and a four inch collar do not necessarily ruake you too good to be civil to those who wear a pair of blue overalls and a.blouse. In young men this feeling is called, swelled head, and in old men aristocracy. Whatever it may be it is not gentlentauliness. No man, young or old, is a gentleman, who treats a working man as au inferior. Some of the most intelligent men of the age were, and are, workingtnen—meu udt afraid to take ort their coats and work at bard labor. But the meal who boasts that he never had to work and who thinks he is doing a workiug man a favor by speaking to hint is cue the world gets aloug much better without. The workiugutau could get along with- out the dude who doesn't work, but the dude couUu't get along without the workiugtuau. rnont has adopted a license law that has some unusual features. It calls for a vote annually as to whether licenses shall be issued or not. In voting, the electors may declare whether general liquor aur licenses maybo*iven, or licenses to sell only malt liquors. The number '"of drinking places to be licensed is strictly limited. The fees are high, r allging front 8u00 to $1200. Special provision has been made against the treating system.
