Mr. Harty desives every man in the employ of the great works of which he is the head to act intelligently and independently. They will be allowed to go to the polls without any guides so far as he is concerned. Had he mar shalled them 'into squads and sent them off to the various polling sub. divisions, however, he would only be not doing what was done under conserva- tive auspices by the military authori years ago, far as outward appearances could in dicate, that performance met the en of the party and its ties some and, so tire PLS. The electors of Kingston will wndir- stand that this is a free country, and that they are at liberty to do as they They are expected to exercise approval please. prudence and common sense, and 0 Hon. they are expected to vote for Mr. Harty. ---- POLITICS AND THE ARMY. Kipling bas, not been fortunate in his last political reference to the British army. He insinuates that the officers are wasting their time and dissipating their energies in cricket and other field sports. "The Outlook, not so long since, deal ing with the army and athletics, had this to say: "When Wellington said that 'the bat tle of Waterloo was won on the cricket field at Eton, he was putting in a picturesque way o truth which many men learn too late, the truth that the victories of life are won not on the lields where the decisive struggle takes place, but in the ob secure and forgotten hours of propara- gion. Wars are won in times of peace in armories, foundries, training schools and at stafl headquarters. France was conquered, ® quarter of 'a century ago, before a single German soldier set foot on her' soil; conquered by the marvel lous preparation which had been go- ing on for years wnder the thorough German wilitary and educational sys tem." A military hero; now living in re tirement, "or in peacciul occupations, recalls his experience in the Crimea. He and others were lying in the trenches, and shielded, as far as pos: sible, from the pitiless fire of a con non, which occupied a' commanding position on a breastworks beyond. The iden was to dislodge it, but man after wan, in the fusilade which greeted him, failed to site a field picce which was calenlated to do this. THE DAILY WHIG, MONDA SHIRKING A RESULT sometime before Sir Charles called him into dominion politics the young destined political giant the a notable speech was in jhe legidature He was mier and head of the new government to be country made It said : "Some few months ago representa- tives of the conservative party met in convention in Winnipeg to to go before the electors and ask their support in the election which termin- ated so happily on the Tth of Décem ber last. That convention saw fit to of prohibition, that, if successiul, we would at once enact a prohibitory law, going as far as the powers of the pro- vinee would allow, and to the parlia ment of Canada for power to enact that we The moment in the platform, and at present do, plank went as a party went asking for support on that plank, coupled with others, my course clear, to carry out honestly the pledge made to the people more lower a public man and a party than. to have it supposed by the peo- ple that specific, definite .pledges are, like pie-crust, made to be broken." Would Mr. Macdonald, were he pre mier now, redeem his promise ? It is a pertinent question because in a re was not a prohibitionist and only championed a prohibitory measure be cause the people voted in favour of it. Mr. Rollin was his associate and sue cegwor, and Mr. Roblin is, in all con- science, bound by the pledges of his party. Yet he alleges that he is not going to enforce the law which the privy council says is intra vires, but iw going to see what Mr. Ress, Ontario, will do with prohibition, and in any cgse he will have another re ference to the people. And note this : That so far not one conservative pa per has opened fire upon. Mr. Roblin and called him to account. Why ? in EDITORIAL NOTES.

He was a splendid cook, and in sum mer wos engaged om the steamer Sovereign or City of Toronto--1 just forget which.
