Rows, in the specch which he made at Stratford, exposed the mockery of Mr. Whitney the Algoma splendid in his attitude towards Central railway. "We proposed," said Mr. Ross, ferrins to the attitude of the govern went, "te build the Algoma Central railway, and said he would give: a grant of land toward it. Mr. Clergue wanted the railway to open up the country and get material for his mills. In return for the land grant the land was to be settled, smelting works established and other indus tries undertaken. Mr. Whitney oppos ed it, and denounced it as the most { henomenal steal, the greatest at- tempt to public robbery. What did he say three or four years go? He said. We voted against the grant, &w cause 'so far as we could see, and we could not see farther than our noses,' it did not seem to be a good bargain. 'Hore 8 a man who aspired to he 'premier of Ontario," declared Mr Ross, amid loud cheers, 'who admits he could pot see any farther than his nose." Mr. Whitney further said at the Soa the other night that he was amazed at the marvellous develop ment there. He was the man who conld not see farther than his nose, is he must got a can see far re and nll I can say longer pose, so that he ther." The point was well taken. When a person is referred to as the ond who cannot see beyond thé boundaries of his own person it is meant that pow: er of penetration is exceedingly = limit «d. Mr. Whitney does not wait until his shortness of vision is demonstra ted by some one else. He candidly admits his defects, and offers it as an apology for the blunders he has committed, Is he the man the people should put in the pldee of Mr. Ross, who is undeniahly keen and gggres- sive and far-seeing ? A ------ FACTS OF THE CASE. The first sod of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontarip railway has been turned near North Bay. As the engineer's survey of the line is not yet 'completed, nor the money for con- struction raised, the function may be set down as of political rather than industrial intent. Humbug is a great force in Ontario's public affairs. --Mon- treal Gazette, This indifferent representation, is hardly to be expect- ed of a paper which has the standing of the Gazette. It has been suppress. ing in place of elevating the truth. Hon. Mr. Latchiord, the minister of public works, in the speech which he made at, or near North Bay, on the 10th (last Saturday) told how that a week before the engineer who was con- ductihg survey was met jn Tovotito.' We had then," said he, "full data to en- able us to compare the two routes, and it did not take one half hour te of the eastern statement, or mis determine in favour route. As soon as that was sctiled a report was submitted by the council urging construction. The council ap- proved, and we took steps to advertise for tenders for the clearing of the right of way. I can assure you that so far ns I am concerned, and the gov: ernment of which I am a member is concerned, and any other government, is concerned, the construction of this railway must go on. I rejoice with you to-day, and while public life has not many attractions 1 would like to be in public life long enough to attend with you in the other interesting cere mony of driving the last spike. When we have built, and built successfully, as 1 know we shall, thers will be a demand. that the government will continue the work, and after we get to the million of acres. of agriéultural land at Lake Tewmiskaming, proceed to the sixteen million acres of agricul: tural land to the north and north west, and which is for the most part south of the southerly boundary of Manitoba." bi What about the cost of construe tion ? The Gazette infimates. that it has not been provided for. The act, i authorizes the public work, _-- ment are necessary and independent of any election. "Humbug is the great foree in On- tario's public afiairs," says the Ga- zette, It is limited to the opposition, which repudiated the railway in par liament, now supports it, and plains that it ix not being rushed fast com enough. A PARTY MUCH MIXED, Mr. Whitney is hedging. He Leen very severe upon the government for daring to tax the rich corpora tions. Mr, Ross has explained that the tax i» not peculiar to Ontario, and that it does not hurt any jany which pays it. Mr. Ross has further pointed out that when the get suthorizing the collection passed three years ago there was no objection to it. Thé corporations did not "kick." Bat Mr. Whitney has discovered that they should not he For days he denounced the law and gave the peo ple to believe that it should not be tolerated. He certainly gave the party he leads to imderstand that it ought to go. The fol lows that if he had he would repeal it. He suddenly stopped his talk gbout the matter, however.) That was signi fioant. Then he declared that he was not opposed to the tax (this was at Uxbridge), and branded 5 -tatement which reached bim to that effect as an "sbsolute' ard deliberate false hopd."' At the same meeting, and while the echoes of Mr. Whitney's voice could still he heard, Mr. Carstallen, of Hamilton, mtacked the corporations which, he said, dominated the ernment and did not pay their share of the taxes! Here we have the leader of the op- position and the fiith lieutenant ap: pealing to the electors from different platforms. Mr. Whitney has been de- sirous of sparing the corporations, of has com was taxed. inference the chance gov saving them the quarter of a million dollars taxes which they pay anual ly, and Mr. Carscallen has been com plaining that the same corporations are not "soaked" to a very siderable extent. Hadn't the pair better halt in their touring long enough to enijuire where con they are at? WHITNEY AS A DODGER. At Unbridge Mr. Whitney, we told, "assailed the tax gn corpora- tions." He sid, further, that "the government had, by imposing this tax, taken away from the municipali ties a portion of the revenue which they derived corporations. That was one reason why the conser vatives had opposed the bill" Did Mr. Whitnay have his own vote 'and that of his friends in the legisla this hill? Not is correct. 'The law was passed and took effect hy unanimous consent of the house. - Did the municipalities enjoy of the taxes referred to in this law, and did the province hy it, appropri ate any of the revenue formerly going these municipalities ? Not at all That is at once x misconception and are from ture polled against if our information any a misdirection of ideas. "Mr. Whitney has declared against the provincial tax on eorporations," eays the Weekly Sun, "and says that if placed in office he will repeal it. It is not clear whether he would wipe out the tax altogether or whether he proposes simply to, change its destin- ation and provide for its payment in the future to the municipalities in stead of to province, * * H Mr. Whit: ney's proposal is to relieve from fur ther taxation the corporate property which now contributes to the provin cial treasury he will find that public opinion will not support him. * * The principal work of the legislature at its next sepsion should be to adjust them, and put all property-owners, both great and small, upon 5n egal footing." ° Clearly, Mr. Whitney has bad occa: sion to hedge on this question, amd be is doing it with great celerity. AGAINST THE BREAD TAX. The result of the Bury election in England--the defeat of the conserva: tive candidate by an overwhelming majority--is not at all promising to the party. This bye-election was in- fluenced by the tax on wheat and flour. The ery of the opposition was, "Down with the party that will tax our bread."

Picton Gazette On Tuesday, 6th inst., about 5:30 p.m., standing on the walk near my boat house I noticed the tide coming in very fast. In about five minutes the water of the harbor had risen about twenty inches. It was shove the end of my water walk, and nearly level with my boat house floor, a height not before reached in many years. The harbor presented a rather unusual appearance, the water reach ing nearly to the tops of the wharves in some places. At about 535, or a very few minutes after that, the water to recede, and séon the tide was rushing out with considerable force, the harbor having more the character of a rapid running river than of a quiet bay a= usual. In about twenty minutes or hy six o'clock, the water had gone down fullyptdhizty in ches by actual measurement, the like of which, 1 will venture to say, has not happened here bejore in thirty wears. Considerable stretches of mud were suddenly left exposed along the inner part of the harbor near my tim ber frontage, the water being lower than at any time since the lowest last fall. In about five minutes more the tide began to return, but the water of the harbor did not again reach normal Jevel for a couple of honrs or so. The wind was moderate, about north-east erly The sky was mostly clouded over and had the appearance of a coming storm. A heavy storm of wind and rain did actually follow in the night. began \ Ending Of A Double Life.
