To an observer who has had an opportunity to compare the official statements and the newspaper com- ments of the two combatants in this war, nothing is more striking than the modesty andiself-restr:1int of the one and the arrogance and bcastfulness of the other.

' The intention was to `prevent are- - petition of the North Rentrew `scan- dal, but the new law is `apparentlyii to have the effect` of driving the Ross Government" to its inevitable defeat much sooner than it cares -to go. At the present time-the Government has a majority consist- ing of the -Speaker, `and there are seven vacant seats. Several of these have -been vacant close" upon three months. and the time is rapidly ap- proaching when the Clerk of the House.` according to the new law. is compelled to rder an" elect-ion to be held. Mr. alto s has two alter- natives: he can`. -remain quiescent and be defeated `piece-meal-. or he can go to the ', country with .9. splurge. and .make a final. desper- ate appeal to the people. to `be. re- tained in office. from which he would have -been least out long arzo had the people -had their -will. .He has. naturally. chosen the latter plan. and is now casting: about him for material with which to stren- 'gthen his cabinet` and make it more presentable. It has been definitely decided that Mr. Stratton is to go. This in itself is equivalent to ad- mitting that the *people` believe Ga- mey told the truth. as far as Strat- A ton was concerned. It likewise has. the effect of placing Mr. Ross in the -position of shielding the guil- ty. Mr. Davis. `Commissioner of Crown Lands. is also to retire.

Mr. Latchford is not strong enough. So far. Mr. .Ross has only_ been able to find two men to replace the de- parting ones. Mr. George P. Gra- ham. of Brockville,_`is to fill VMr. Stratton s shoes, and is credited with the ability \to do it in more ways than one.

For years he has coquetted with the _ ]?rohi-bitionists, who have a large V bill of unredeemed vpromises agtainst him." Mr.eVRoss is still apparently of tiliedopinion,` and he is probably right. that he can obtain an ex- tension of credit, providing he only makes the promise large enough. The Prohibitionists are a trusting and confiding lot of people. The re- _ port is that he is prepared to offer themsprohibition. ,with a proviso that if any'~mun-icipality does not want prohibition it can have the othermthing. This is local option, just as it. exists to-day, the sole difference being that the prohibi- tionists will be. technically on top instead of underneath. that is. they will have to fight to retain . which they have instead of to get that which they want. Mr. Ross . probably imaginesthat this promise ' will. enable "the machine-to keep on -the usual intimate termswith the powerful liquor interests of the Province.` which` in the past have done yeoman service for him and his. ; i s f Mr. Ross undoubtedlystill spells it f-i-g-Ii-It.
