More disastrons than any fate that can
befall the Conservative party will be the
inauguration of the spoils system. The
Dominion Government will be urged to
retaliate, and on every change of Govern-
ment, at Ottawa or at Toronto, there
will be a demand for sweeping dismis-
sals, each party being stimulated by tbe
acts of its opponents. For this train of

DUPES OF BEATTIE NEt BITT.
{
Commenting on the dismissal of the
Chief Liceuse Inspector for. Toronto and
his two assistants by the Whitney Gov-
ernment
overnment and the resignation of the To-
ronto License Commissioners, the Toron-
to Telegram says: -
The members of the Ontario Govern-
ment who surrendered to the sporlsmeu,
and thus compelled the resignation of
Messrs Flavelle, Davidson and Murray,
aoted like the dupes of Dr. Beattie Nes-
bitt.
Three of the Torouto members, Hon.
J. J. Foy included, are so much clay in
the hands of Dr. Bedttie Nesbitt, and
the Ontario Government was no better
when it virtually decided to partially
Tamwauy ize the license administration of
Toronto, with Dr. Beattie Nesbitt as a
boss thereof. The whole proceeding, be-
ginning with the dtemissal of the in-
spectors, and ending with the resigna-
tion of the commissioners is a brutal,
cowardly and discreditable episode in
the hitherto bright history of the Whit-
ney Government.
Do the Conservative spoilsnnen ever
think how many heads would have fall-
en if the Laurier Government bad gone
through the Torouto Postoffice and Otte -
tom House in 1896, as the Whitney Gov-
ernment went through the Torouto Li-
cense Commission in 1905?
When the Whitney Government strik-
es its flag to the spoilsmen, its surrender
is an unspeakable dissappointment to the
Oanadiane who had reason to hope for
better things. The independent journals
which urged Liberals to leave their party
and vote Mr. Whitney into power, are
made to look like dopes or rogues by the
proof that the Beattie Nesbitt type of
spoilsman is in the aecendant.
A Government that stoops to the
meanest of warring on women and chil-
dren by wantonly throwing breadwin-
ners out of office• on account of their
politics cannot be accepted as the exceed.
ing great reward of the independent and
Liberal patriots who voted that Govern.
men t into power.
The partisan trickery and greed that
drove Messrs. Flavelle, Davidson and
Murray out of office supplied an example
of bad faith and bad tactics on the part
of the Whitney Government. If the
Ontario Government has once and for
all revealed its true character in its first
great surrender to the Nesbitt howlers,
Canadians who might be united for the
good of the conntry will again be divid-
ed for the gain of the party.

by a woman who had no trouble. The
widow soon discovered it was no easy
task to find such a person, but at length
was referred to a lady who seemed
surrounded with every comfort and
happiness and possessed a husband
who seemed devoted to her. The wid-
ow made known her request and for
an answer was shown a closet where a
skeleton hung suspended from a beam,
She was told It was the remains of the
lady's former lover, who from motives
of jealousy had been slain by her hus-
band, and that he compelled her to vis-
it it every day. The widow concluded
that n0 one was without trouble, that •
"there is a skeleton in every closet,"
and became reconciled to the approach
ing loss of Iger son.
'Washington's Yllrtiu*ay,
The first known celebration of Wash-
ington's birthday was on Feb. 11, 1784.
The old style date was still adhered to.
This was during the lifetime of the
first president and eornpleted his fifty-
third year. The following is from the
Pennsylvania racket of Philadelphia
of the date of Tuesday, Feb. 17, 1784;
"New York, Friday, Feb. 13, -Wednes-
day last being the birthday of his ex-
cellency General Washington the same
was celebrated by all the true friends
of American independence and consti-
tutional liberty with that hilarity and
manly decorum ever attendant on the
sons of freedom. In the evening an
entertainment was given on board the
East India ship in this harbor to a
very brilliant and respectable company,
and a discharge of thirteen cannon was
Bred on the joyful occasion." The ob-
servance of the day was not confined
to New York city.
Newton's Telescope.
Newton fashioned a concave mirror
from a mixture of copper and tin,
Which gives a surface with almost the
luster of silver. An image of the star
was produced in the focus of this mir-
ror, and then this image when exam-
ined by a magnifying eyepiece permits
the astronomer to study the star at
what is equivalent to a greatly reduced
distance. Such is the principle of the
famous erecting telescope which bears
the name of Newton, The little reflect-
or which he constructed is still pre•
served as one of the treasures of the
Royal society, The telescope tube had
the very modest dimensions of an inch
in diameter. It was, however, tbe pre-
cursor of a whole series of magnificent
instruments, cavil outstripping the oth-
er In magnitude.

A Freak of Meath Valley.
Saratoga springs is oue of the freaks
