Men are made to perform impos- sible feats, and women to sweep all them with their fascinations, There is excess in David Harum. but enough remains of the the innately good worked out under natural conaditions-- to captivate the reader, enough ori ginality of thought and phrase to make them remarkable, The book, too, has had the advan tage of a rare advertising by the press and people, and its popularity has been further enhanced by drama tization in g very successful way. Best thought of all, the Appletohs, who published David Harum when other book-men had refused it, have made handsomely out of their venture, and the family of a talented and far seeing man have been benefited by an income that would have illumina- ted the last days of another and more than compensated him for hig toil and suffering.

'That paper holds that the accoumt is not by any means large, and that the people have no right to know what its details are. It is difficult, of course, to determine whether the charge is excessive or not, because the details are with- held. Surely Mr. Ross would do well to furnish an account in order that this point may be settled. The Whig thinks that $9800 is not much for Mr. Ross to draw in one year from the public treasury. But when it is remembered that Sir Oliver Mowat on a smaller salary paid all his private expenses this view is open to ques tion. Moreover, Mr. Sifton, on a smaller income at Ottawa, makes European trips, keops nine horses, and maintains a summer seat at the Thousand Islands, and the most ele gant establishment at the capital. -- The Mail, The Whig has not expressed any of the views herein credited to it by its contemporary. It has simply com- mented upon the opposition's method of attack, which is very objectionable, and of which the quotation given above is a very fair sample. The question of a minister's expens- es ought tg be easily settled. If he be entitled to them the only issue should be the reasonableness of them, and it should mot be Becessary to fyle an exhibit of them in detail as the Ma theson end of the opposition. thinks he should. Comparisons are usually odious, and they are especially so if this case. Time changes the attitude of persons and parties towards a given subject. When the conservatives were in power the opposition took excep- tion, for instance, to the charges made by government officials and re- prosentatives for expenses on the ocean, en route to. Paris, and they were pronounced correct and paid, and the doctrine enunciated that some people have no business to nose too deeply into other © people's affairs. That doctrine does not now prevsil, because another party is in power, It is hardly necessary to say that the Whig did not in any way give ex- pression to the idea that "it thinks that 89.500 is not too much for Mr. Roos to draw in one year from the public treasury." The question in this form has not been engaging the #t- tention of the Whig or of any other sensible liberal paper. As for the references to Mr. Sifton they are simply oisgraceiul, Since his call to the government at Ottawa be bas been the object of tory venom and tory malignancy without a paral- lel. The man went to Germany and France for consultation with medical experts, and that voyage, taken in the interest of his bealth, is magni fied into "European trips." some place to which he can escape, at the water front, during the heated term, like many merchants and civil servants, ana he is credited with maintaining "'a summer seat at the Thousand Islands" He lives in « house that becomes a minister of the gover t. ana one no better than those occupied by former members of the Macdonald.

MEN THAT CAN'T LEAD. {| The Tory, the conservative paper | which has been provided with a spe cific purpose--namely the illumination | of the party leaders--has been obliged | to sacri'ly Mr. Borden. It { on these terms : "It is certainly depressing to con template the result of the dominion bye-eloctions which was so disappoint ing to all conservatives, and so dis | eveditable to the leaders of the party. It diwlosed an amazing lack of poli tical intelligence in quarters where political intelligence was supposed to exist and should have been found. There seems to have been bad judg: ment in the choice of candidates, bad judgment in the arrangement of the campaign, bad generalship in the manipulation ol the party forces, and an amazing lack of vitality, zeal, and enthusiasm of any kind in prosecution of the campaign. The leader of the party did not lead the party. He did not get into the fight. There seemed to no central directing head of the whole of the party forces, and the various candidates were left very much to their own resources in of policy, finance does so and organization." And if Mr. Borden made such a sad mess of things in the bye-elections what is there to inspire hope in Mr. Whitney in the general election ? The Tory has been moved to declare that he is lacking in constructive genius. In other words the party wants a man who can do more than find fault with his opponents. Lacking in gene- ralship, in men and resources, he is laying up trouble for himself, and some of these days The Tory will tell him all about it. The marvel of it is that The Tory is doing what it com- plains of in Mr. Whitney. It is ham mering away at the leaders and tell ing them where they have made mis- takes. It does not shed light as tg how they may escape the pit falls and their consequences. ---- EDITORIAL BRIEFS. The legislative committee made short work of the municipal law am- endments which were proposed by the Hemilton and Toronto councils. The faddists received a proper check. Can Chinese exclusion be enforced ? Can a tax upon them be made high as to become practically prohi- bitive ? That is the question about which the British may have occasion to say something. Toronto is a favorite stamping ground for the bank swindlers. The officials up there appear to be of the very confiding, verdant sort." In time, with a few more swindles, they will get their eye-teeth cut. $0 A firm of architects claim that they have discovered something new in school ventilation. It is to be hoped they have.

In Bethel church yesterday morn- ig, Mr. Morden gave his sixth dis course on the Israelites' experience as typical of the experiences of God's children of to-day. He took as the basis of bis discourse, Number xiii, 23 25, and sdid in part : "We have been following the history of the children of Israel out from under blood in Egypt, through the Red sea to Mara, where the bitter waters were sweeten ed by the tree that typiied the prin- «i b's of the cross of Christ. We have been them encamped at Elim wich its twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees significant of God's daily provision for all the nesds of His people; we have followed them in to the wilderness where their murmur logs were graciously wet - by the manna--a most beautiful type of the word of God, wherein is contained the food suited alike for the strong man and the babe in Christ. This won we find them in Kadish, on the very border of the Promised Land. Mark it was a Promised Land for hundreds of yeats before God Rad promised it to Abraham gnd his seed for an ever lasting inheritance. With what feel ings of joy and gratitude should they have looked upon this the finest land on all the earth! How eagerly would they now hasten to possess it 7 But what actually took place! Forget ting God's delivering power in Egvpt at the Red sea and in the wilderness this people filled with fear and Jistrust because of the obstacles report to be in the way of their taking posses sion of the land that God had given them turned their backs on this land overflowing with milk and honty to wander in the wilderness. Has not this strange conduct of God's people of old a parallel in our own lives ? Have not many of us been oft-times con scious of God's power being exercised in our behalf ? But despite all this, how many of us are living a wilder- ness experience. Perhaps we have of late become deeply conscious of - the poor, unsatisfactory lives we are liv ing and have been asking ourselves if there is not something better for us as God's children. Are we in our spiritual experience this morning at Kadish on the very border of Canaan' (Canaan dees not typify heaven for there will be no fighting when we reach the heavenly land, but it does typify a heavenly oxperience--an ex perience out of which we can truly say "I am not conscious of doing nove ing contrary to God's will or .1 leaving wndons wr vthing God woald have me do." We will endeavor to point out next Sunday morning how to possess this experience; meantime consider well this question, "Do you want the ex perience the Promised Land typi fied." ---- Church Items.
