It is to the effect that the fen who are concerned in the pulpwood con ' pensions have subscribed large sums of money--in some cases not less than $100,000--for campaign purposes. This is, we believe, the veriest rot, the figment of an excited imagination. Mr. Whitney has been so unfriendly towards the concessionaries, so gross ly unfair, so heated in his discussion of tha ag ts which exist between : Corbett's - Hardware Only.

Mr. Foy has hurt himself in this campaign. He has wanted to pass as un very superior person while he has been talking some awlul twaddle. He in like others who have had a con nection with the loyal opposition in the local bouse. The late M, C. Cameron was 8 good lawyer, one of the best and, when he tired of polis tics, having vainly struggled against the Mowat liberal government for many years, he became a judge and an' adornment to the bench. Mr. Mevedith was a leader at the bar, and vonducted a splendid © law practice whilé he battled with the liberal gov- ernmont 'and suffered defeat in two general elections. He was glad to leave politics, and accept a judgeship, even if a chief justiceship, which he fills. with marked ability, Other cas os tould be cited to show that a man may excel in one profession and fail in another. As a politician Mr. Foy is certainly disappointing. His party is doing its best to boom him, but he is not the kind of man to arouse the enthusiasm of the people. His person: al friends are anxious to see him a member. of the local government and in the office of attorney-general, The liberals," however, are not likely = to take him up. In the generosity of their hearts they offered him a judgeship, and he declined it, When the election is over he may be sorry he did this; for ive defeats and discourag ments will drives him, like so many of his profession, out of politics. PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE LIFE. The resort to misrepresentation, by the conservative organ of this city, suggests that it has mistaken its mis sion and the duty of the hour. The fact that an dlection has heen ordored, and that the people of this city have been invited to choose a representa: tive in the legislature, does not war rant the gross misstatements in which it has indulged, The average man has a regard for truth snd decency. He may feel s | which presume to give the Amvrican he part of the manufacturers, as will ways true, he virtually concedes that | S-- RUIN TO BONE MEN. The binder twine business of the world has been afiected by the legis lation of the United States Congress, cordage manufacturers the benefit of remission of export duty in Manilla to the extent of 87.50 » ton. The Philip pines ave now a dependency of the United States and ils trade js sub- ject to such tariff imports and con- cossions as ifs government may sug: ib. hardy the deal is an effective one, for the manila can be got' nowhere elves than on the Philippines--the Musa Testilis being a native of the islands and not capable of cultivation sway from them--and only on such terms as the new conditions require, Canada is soméwhat peculiarly situ: ated. Manitoba and the North-West get their supply of binder twine from the United States, and their trade will be taken care of as usual, probably by such rébates as the manufacturers will agree upon. Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces will be served similarly if the Canadians lét the Am- ericans have a monopoly of the busi- ness, which is all they want. To fight them by a tariff, which would make the import duty equal to the American advantage of $7.50 a ton, invites trouble between different divisions: of the dominion. The only solution--if the tariff can be altered will be to make such concessions, on secure the control and agreement of all parties. But something must be done if all the cordage factories in Canada are not to be closed except those of the prisons, which can com pete with the Americans with | their cheap labour, but at the expense of free labour and its dismantled indus: tries. There is some hope that the British government may seoure some mitiga- tion of the ~bnoxious trade arrange ments. When' the Philippines were taken over by the United States the promise was made that none of the British trade arrangements would be affected by tariff preferences. The British government will probably ask About this manilla deal and with some degree of a modification in its terms. EDITORIAL NOTES. Kingston going crooked politically ! Oh pshaw { Dr. Stewart is the liberal candidate in Centre Bruce. He is a graduate of Queen's, and sure to win. More power for him. Mr. Whitney professes to be after the villaing and = scoundrels.

William Harty, at the close of his campaign, and in the presence of hondreds of electors, thanked the Whig for its able advocacy of. his cause at his bye-election. That is a sufficient denial to the slanders spread abroad of Galt. Reformer : That uncompromis- ing tory, James L. Hughes, pubiic school inspector for Toronto, and who used to have ambitions for the position of 'minister of education in a conservative administration, said, in an interview with the Detroit Tribuns: "I think the Ross government wil' he sustained at the approaching ele. tions." A clause in the resolution adopted on February 20th, at the last annual meeting of the reform association, reads : "Wo feel that the mantle of Mr. Ross' illustrious predecessors hes indeed fallen on worthy shoulders and we pledge him and his esteemed stand: ard-bearer, Nr i E our unanimous and unflag, support in the general lection That will Shorey take place." The Whig, knowing its readers and their, tastes, does not intend to in dulge in gutter politics. Jt hopes to appeal to intellects rather than men's passions. The issue is not who can throw the most dirt, but who can do the best service for Kingston in the Ontario legislators. With a liberal gov- ernment in power (and that is a certainty) a liberat from King- ston can best serve the citizens. The Globe speaking of premier Ross remarks : "We believe the people of Ontario, of all classes recognize his t qualities, and will take care on ay Wth, to continue in hic hands the vigorous policy of development upon which he has entered and give him full opportunity for the display of that great resource and capacity which has already proved of such sig- nal benefit to this province." - Mr. Whitney says he will not tax big corporations il he gets into jow- er. The revenue last year from cor rorations reached $237.506. These are some of the corporations with large Ontario franchises that he would Jet escape taxation : Bell telephone com. pany, $6,130; Toronto gas company, $1,780; Toronto electric light com- pany, $1,999. €. PR. company; $12: 176; Grand Trunk, $13,266; bank of Montreal, £36580; bank of Commerce, $1,025. How would the electors like that !
