' The proposed _Y_'ukon iRaiiwu.y_ will extend from fStick_i_ne `River- to Teelin Lake; as a connecting link in; an all Canadian route into the Yukon or Klondyke. -The construction of this" railway has been given without tender to on `company of two, McKenzie 8;` Mann, at enormous prot to the com- pany and trernendotise sacrice to the country. The iniquitous features of i this railway. deal are being discussed at every reside, and Caiiadians are almost ` a unit not againstthe building of such a railway, but in denunciation of as con- - tract that gives 25,000. acres `per mile, or 3,750,000, acres of Canada's most valuable gold lands to a "company for building a three-foot tramway 150 miles in length, the material for which will be second hand, or that used for the old Lethbridge line in the west.` In addi- tion to this mass of valuable public property the company secures -a mo-. nopoly of railway privileges in that territory, in addition to the privilege of xing their own transportation rates for the same period. Well `may the company agree to this, for Engineer Jennings report on the proposed road says that two years business will easily pay for the construction of the road. The Yukon, Crows Nest, and Drum- mond deals indicate that the Grits are turning Canada over to railway mo nopolists. WHAT WE nowr 1=A*TBAcK. An empty boast ot the Ontario Gov- rnment is, what we pay back to the municipalities each year, but they never tell of -the amounts they take from the municipalities nor dothey compare the sums returned by them with the sums returned by other provincial govern- ments of the Dominion. While the Ontario Government gives six and a half cents per head of the population to assist the -municipalities in building roads and bridges, Quebec gives eleven cents, Nova Scotia fty-ve cents and P. E. Island thirtyvseven cents for like purposes. I c A . A. While the Ontario Government. gives eighteen cents per head for educational purposes in the province, New Bruns- wick gives fortyone, cents, Nova Scotia forty-ve cents and P.E. Island ninety- ve cents. Ontario gives only seven per cent. of its entire revenue to schools while. Nova Scotia gives twenty-three, New Brunswick, twenty-four, Manitoba seventeen and P. E. Island fty-four per cent. The people of Ontario pay ninety~three per cent. of the cost of education by direct taxation and yet the Hon.

The centralizing policy of the 011- y tario governmentis identical with that of the departmental stores. It seeks to control everything and everybody in the province and manipulate all the oices and officials to serve the one great aim to keep the Hardy govern- ment in power. The departmental in many of the small towns and villages within a hundred miles of Toronto and caused to be tenantless and unproduc- tive many of the nest business.build ings in the city itself because of the power of capital to centralize so much control and interest in these establish- ments. The provincial government has centralized all control over educa- tion, liquor licenses, appointments to municipal as well as provincial offices, and every petty kind of patronagethat it can grasp until now the people are ruled by an autocracy or family com- pact as greedy` as ever existed in On- tario. The rights of the people to local self-government are totally disregarded T Ind they are imposed upon . by favor-` ites of the ministry, while the local revenues of the municipalities are taken from them and the tax-payers compell- ed to pay heavier rates for municipal .purposes in consequence.` ._ In one re- spect the government`di`ers from the big stores. -It has no competition while - the stores have competition and some - times erce at that among themselves. The government allows no rivals in the distribution of favors and patronage. It is a mighty monopolist and . regards`._ Itself as master of the situation irre- spsotive of what the `pews think. .1; sets on the ssmelinyes as-the big tr_nsts,,_ ==nP1i=3s= swine: and panics!

Spohn, an Ontario GAdA- ernment oicial in the capacity of phy- sician to Penetainguiaheu Reformatory, spoke in McCrossen a Hall in T Mr. Davidson's interests according` to the Penetang Herald. The Government have acknowledged their weak and dangerous position by cancelling all Farmers Institute meet- ingeto give. all lecturers and other paid servants in connection with these meet- ingaa chance to get in their best digs for -their masters. ' Two Frenchmen, Messrs. Maroil and Lubelle, of Montreal, are in Tiny, working for Davidson among the elec- tors of that township. Is it right that electors of Quebec should come into Ontario` and tell the electors how to vote? it is 9. piece of impertinence, and should be reaented.. l l . :Tueaday s Globe: sends out the fol~ lowing as an explahation tovan editorial in last week : ADv41_vcn' concerning _ is -.

Maloney 8: succeeded" to the basis a ness 0 Reil1y_ Bros. - and brought their Back debts. The sums which the a government owed to O Reilly Bros. were accordingly paid to. Maloney & Co. This explanation is the product of some fertile imagination in the as O Reilly Bros. ; it was 0. E. O Rei1- ly & 00. Could there be anything more ridiculous than to think that bankrupts as C. E. -O Reilly,& Co. were, having sold out at a rate on the dollar, would leave a government debt of $563.20 uncollected? The thing is absurd. The public accounts show that the goods were purchased during Ma- loney & 0o. s time. The Globe will have to make another trial at this thing, Death of Frances E. Willard. Miss Frances E. Willard, the Presi- dent of the World s and National Wo- men s Christian Temperance Union, whohad been suffering from an attack of inuenza, died shortly after mid- night last Thursday night at New York. Miss Willard had been ill for about three weeks. u--on-. u . Frances Elizabeth Willard was born in -Churchville, N .Y., September 28, 1839. She graduated at North- western Female College, Evanston, III., in 1859, became Professor of Natural Science there in 1862, and was Princi- pal cf Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in 1866 67. The following two years she spent in foreign travel, giving a. part of the time tostudy in Paris, and con- tributing to periodicals. In 1871 74 she was Professor of Aesthetics in Northwestern University and Dean of the Woman's College. `IE2..- X17111...) 1.1;. L-.. ____-l`_,,__!__ 3-, Miss Willard left her profession in 187 4 to identity herself with the W0- men's Christian Temperance Union, serving as Corresponding Secretary of the national organization till 187 9, and since that date as President. On the death of her brother, Oliver A. Wil- lard, in 1879, she succeeded him as editor of the Chicago Evening Post. Since 1882 she has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Pro- hibition party. 'I'_'IOOl.'

In'l886 Miss Willard accepted the leadership of the White Cross move- ment in her own unions, which had obtained, through her inuence, enact- ments in twelve States for the protec- tion of women. In 1888 she was made President of the American branch of the International Council of Women and of the World s Christian Temper- ance Union, which she had fcunded Ive years before. -- v -.--V vv. . vary-4-uuuw The political meeting held here last Saturday night gave some local Grit politicians from Barrie a chance to spread themselves. E. B. Reid gave a rehash of Grit newspaper comments, using. freely such stale terms as chol- eric hogs, calves with coughs, Pro- testant horses, "political menageries, etc. When he was speaking some per- son was heard to ask, What is the matter with the little shoemaker any way I Hewson, the County Council rag baby and wind bag, came next. He dealt in such garbage as-Every- thing in the y sheet, Whitney will win is clear cut lies or misleading statements; took to himself the credit of discovering the Sanford steals ; stat- ed that Andrew Miscampbell went to Barrie and voted against him at the County Council election,` _in his dead father's place; called Whitney an in- sigmhcant member of the bar like my- self, etc., etc. Hewson takes care to cover up his own tracks. Why does he not tell_ of some of his own dirty transactions? It required a John Cor- mack as chairman at this meeting, and then -the North Bay episode might have been repeated by Hewson being de- clared out of order, and then this Assistant organizer of Provincial Re- form party would again have collapsed.

The meeting opened by the lusty singing of Red, White and Blue. `The build- ing was terribly jammed with electors enthusiastic in their reception of able speeches by Mr."1`hompson, Mr. Pepler of Barrie, and Mr. W.
