I'HE DAILY WHIG. Opiter per Orbem Diecr.' PARTY OF PROFESSIONS, Mr. Whitney professes to be anxious about the next election in Ontario. He fears. that there may he corrug: tion, and he is willing to do what he can to prevent it. Oh ! Hadn't he bet- tor issue orders to his party that there shall be no campaign fund, so that it may be placed beyond temp- tation, One ef the scraps within the charmed cirele y which Mr. Whitney do- minates ie attributed to the cam- paign funds, and the misuse of them, and Mr. Mabee has outlined, in his pamphlets, the talk that followed and hail for its object the dismissal of Mr. Whitney as the party leader. Mr. now recommends a vigilance commitiee in each riding to watch the electioy workers. Will that be a guarantee of purity ? Not unlessthere is a committee to watch the comimit- tee, and another, and another, until the whole conservative camp is engag- od in the vigilance business and every man on that side of polities is under surveillance. Mr, Whitney: may think he is deceiving the folks with his talk on purity, but he is not. A SERIES OF FRAUDS. It has been announced by the tory aarty that it is going to keep a spe jal watch upon the ballot boxes. These boxes represent the consciences of the electors, and they deserve to be protected. But the tory party, as Mr. Whitney well remembers, has not proven wor thy of the trust which was reposed in it. Members of it profess to abhor ballot-stufing and _ballot-stealing, while evidence is on record, that dur- ing the last ten years (going no fur- ther back), there bas, in this way, and by conservative leaders, heen de- liberate attempts to defeat and de ceive the people. The greatest political rascality of which the country has ever heard, (barring, of course, the proposal to bribe = the legislature of Ontario), is that which was hatched out by the conservative party in Manitoba ia 1606, The plan. was to have extra ballots printed and circulated among election 'agents, who were educated bow to use them. The returning of ficers, (conservative), were to engage the scrutineets in a tally up of votes, if possible, were to call off the wrong pamé occasionally and exchange the good ballots for bogus ones. In addi tion the liberal ballots were to be spoiled by lead being fastened under the little fingér with beeswax and drawn across the same on the ballot as it was being opened. The frauds were, in further elaboration of this scheme, to be effected by slipping, switching, stuffing 'and spoiling, and according to the nwmuber of rejections in the election of 1896, as rompared with the aledtion of 1900, they were very successful Are particulars = peccssary ? they are : "In North Ontario the ballots of five poling divisions were tampered with.

Mr. Foy, the only lieutenant of Mr, Whitney who has presumed so far to offer any apology for the failings of the opposition, said at a méeting in Hastings that New Ontario was pro gressing in spite of the government. Mr. Clergue and others with their capital and energy were doing great things, and did not appreciate the legislative aid they had received. But Mr. Clergue is not giving any warrant for these assertions. He ac companied the ministers on a trip over the Algoma railway, ana into the solitudes of the north, passing several new and growing settlements. At one place, Goulois, a halt was made while the party inspected it, and found it to be beautifully located on & wiream which furnished motive power for mills and eleetric dynamos. The little place was laid out regular ly, with streets for business and resi- dentin} purposes. It had modern sew- erage and water works systems, and an hundred houses which the Clergue company had built for its working men. Around the village weve farms which are . being profitably worked. And it is but one of several places to which the railway has given origin, and which will be sustained by the wood snd agricultural enterprises of the sections in which they are situa- ted. Along the railway, toe, the minis terial party saw the forests of hard wood which, under conservative policy; would be left to rot, while now they are being converted into charcoal and used for steel making at Sault Ste Marie. "The land which had been de- nuded of its pine and pulpwood," said Mr. Clergue, "was being let go a8 useless when we came along and built a railway in return for a grant of land." That grant was the part the government had in the transac tion. The Whitney party pronounced it a "phenomenal steal," and would give the world to now recall their words. Failing in this Mr. Foy says that New Ontario owes nothing to the government and the liberal party, hut he knows better.

Tells Story Of Capture By Bri- gands To Newspaper Men. New York, April 14.---Miss Helen M. Stone, the now famous missionary, whose capture by Bulgarian brigands created such a sensation all over the civilized world, arrived in New York yesterdey, on board the Deutschland While the ship was still at quaran- tine it was boarded by scores of newspaper men anxious to get the story of her adventures from her own ips. Speaking of her capture, Miss Stone said © "We were passing through the mountain regions of Bulgaria, a party of about ten of us, when A as if they sprang up from the rocks, we were surrounded by a band of about thirty-five or forty savage looking men. They quickly closed about us and asked which of the party of wo: men were married. At first Mrs. Oosh- eva, a widow, was selected to go with me, and then, because of her feeble condition, she was left behind, and Mrs. Tsilka was taken in her place. "Usually our halting places were in huts or caves which the brigands knew where to find. The threats and tants that were given us daily were sometimes almost unbearable, vet there were never any acts of brutal cruelty beyond the terrible hardships. I was forced to write the letters that you -all have read in the newspapers, but I had to do it or die. "Seven weoks before we were freed," said Miss Stone, "Mrs. Tsilka gave birth to a dear little black eyed girl baby, and after that our lot was a little easier, because all Turks have a great fear of a curse that they think will fall upon them if they harm a mother with a baby." Miss Stone denied that their cap- ture was due to travelling without a proper guard, as alleged by the Tur- kish government, I they had been ac- companied by men armed thers would have been bloodshed and they would have been captered just the same.

Lanark Notes in Almonte Gazette, Sunday saw a large, devout-dress ed-in-spring-fashion congregation at morning and evening services in the town hall, It was the opening of the new arrangements whereby Zion Cone gregationalists and Old St. Andrew's Presbyterians ghall worship together during the coming sumer. As Pres Lbyterian and Congregationalist sat side by side, singing the hymns fami liar to both, reading from the word that each acknowledges the source of his inspirations for the better life, invoking the presence of & common God; uttering in prayer the sme sentiments, desires, hopes and aspir ations: pleading for the Divine will to be done, it seemed a great pity that any denominational nonsense the trash of a few minor differences in church government that do not amount to a row of pins at best-- should keep these christian people from always worshipping together in in this boasted age of enlightenment. Lanark has five Protestant churches and five ministers. There is not a single one of these churches but has an almost hopeless struggle to keep its head above water in a monetary sense, und it takes continual prod- ding at the giving spirit to hand out the cash necessary to keep payments up to the scratch for salaries, and the myriad--some of them very ques tionable--schemes of the church Lan ark is altogether too small a place 16 support so many.ghurch organizations and the people would show their practical govd sense by throwing their interests t@gether and joining in the establishment of one common church, Then would the . best svirit of citizenship be cultivated and the work of the Master advanced in the true sense. -------- Tribute From.
