The toscin of war has been sounded, and the battle is on so far as the local house is concerned. The legisla- ture has been dissolved. On June lst the nominations will occur and on June Sth the people will be asked to will be their representa- decide who tives, The time for reflection is short. If Mr. Whitney could do it he would make the period of suspense or conflict even shorter. He finds that the last week's work of the parliament now dead was a wrecker of reputations. Nor is the tumult and rebellion con- fined to the liberal press and liberal party. Conservative papers and inde- pendent papers alike condemn the secrecy with which some infamous deals were smuggled through. Letters of the Hossack kind, too, are injur- ious, and Mr. Whitney does not want to face many of them. Their areu- ments are unanswerable: So there is to be a rush election, and a snap ver- dict if possible. Oh, some one may say, but the pre mier said there was going to be an appeal. Yes, some time in the sum- mer or fall. Jt is going to be right away, in a month, because the Whit ney record is not improving the more it is examined, and the critics are very busy. Turn on the limelights. HAND PICKED GOODS. The government has intimated that the immigrants whom Canada wants are farm labourers and railway con struction men. 'All others," it is in- timated, "should get definite assur ance of employment before leaving home, and have money enough to supports them for a time in case of disappointment." The government shousld go further and sce that the orders of the interior department are strictly carried out. The men of large families are not wanted pn the farm or railroad, and, when without means they become a great burden on any community. For the right quality of men there is room and demand, but it comes from a field where only the picked and the sturdy are fitted for the service that in expected from them. § Because others reath Copada, through the misdirected energy of missionary or benevolent agencies, im- migration should not be stopped. For long years the country longed for population. Of those who came to it many crossed the line and became lost .in the larger population of the United States. Now that the tidé is flowing this way it should not be obstructed. The country ean' stand filling up with the right kind of people. These, however, should be selected, especially when the sorting process is so advisable and necessary. PARTY THAT DOES THINGS. A tonservative Print quoted some of the things which were said about the civil service by the special commis- sioners appoiuted by the government, and intimated that the party in pow- er did not mean to do anything about them. The Laurier cabinet has in this respect been seriously misjudged. It meant business when it appointed the commission. It gave further proof of its earnestness when it followed the pointed references of the commission to the marine department by the se- lection of Cassels to have the men who were said to lack conséience aod honesty in the performance of their public duty, It adds to' the grand total of its business capacity by undertaking the passage of an act which will give Canada at once the reforms some of its people bave been domanding. The aim is to rid the give men place and promote them on their merits, to see that they are classified and paid according to their standing, and to make their future de- pendant upon their labour and the re- cognition of an independent civil ser- vice commission. The government will: not be relieved of the responsi. bility for this appointment, but it will be subject to such tests as the commission will apply as to its fit- departments of all: political pull, to him, and welcomed him as the herald| of u wighty public opinion. The conservative press gave prominends to! his philippics. They were decked with| flare headings and given a place upon; the first page. ! Mr. Hossalk gloried in the fall of the liberal government. He hailed with delight ' the advent of the Whitney combination. © He treasured all its bold and heroic leader had to say| about the independents. He carefully entered in his doomsday book the promises that Mr. Whitney made when bidding for liberal support. He look- ed for a disappearance of the parti- zanship which might be exercised in a federal election. He longed and look- ed for that discriminating public opin- ion which in England retired govern- ments so often and for very trifling departures from public virtue. Then came the ominous summing up of Mr. Whitney's shortcomings. The government, by its 'works, showed that it had "obtained office by false pretences," It showed that it lost lost confidence by gerrymandering and hiving the liberals. The law reform, declared to be so necessary in 1904, had been dropped. In this respect there had been a conspicuous failure, The three-fifths clause on the option law was 'reactionary legislation." The LaRose deal was extraordinary and unjustifiable, The deal, or misdeal, was not in harmony with Mr. Whitney's pretensions. The C.N.R. guarantee was a "'suspicious" pro- ceeding, suggestive of an approaching election, and the fact that *'it cannot be won by players." 'I'he expenditure was increasing at an enormous rate. There has been too much government by commission. The only consolation in the epistle is to be found in the lines, and they have been gladly quot- by the conservative Mr. Hpssack calls upon the independents hiberals and conservatives, power whole closing ed press. generally, to rally to the support of a and able opposition. They may rally even more than Mr. Hossack expects strong or Mr, Whitney desires. The premier is becoming uneasy about the outlook and is shaping for a tour of the pro- vince. He is not going to hold poli- tical meetings--perish the thought--but conferences, where he can whisper his apologies and plead for the help of the party as he cannot do in public meetings, - EDITORIAL NOTES.

WHY THE. FALSEHOOD? MORTGAGE COVERS ALL met amd discassed the THE ROAD'S PROPERTY And Even Property Which Might Be Acquired in the Future-- Arrant Mendacity of Whitney. Hamfliton Times. One excuse given by Whitney for his violation of the principle, to which he | 80 boastiully claimed to adhere, in giving that Mackenzie & Mann ¥2,- 500,000 railway guarantee, was that the original mortgage given by vir- tue of the 1904 act did not cover the terminals of the road, and he argued that the additional guaran- tee, with the additional mortgage, would put the province in a better position. The statement made by the premier, but adds falsehood and du-| icity to betrayal of principle. A G_| eKay has taken the trouble to lbok up the act of 1904, and it is found to fully cover not only all the property of the railway at that time, but even to include property which it might ob-| tain in the future. The wording of the act is : The said mortgage and the securities issued thereunder shall be a first charge upon the line of railway so aided, and upon the right of way and station] gr other real estate and in-| terest therein, buildings and other structires, and improvements, rolling | stock and equipment, plant, machin- ery, tools, supplies, materials and oth- er personal properties, present and fu- { t i QUEEN'S AND CHURCH. (Continued from page 1.) This morning, the {trustees again question. from {all sides. After two hours' conference, | Rev. Dr. MacLaren, of Toronto, mov- {ed the following resolution which was {adopted : "After. careful consivderation having regard to the fact that at the irequest of the general assembly the {board of trustees agreed 'to maintain the present relations between the church and university," the board re {solves to transmit the memorial with its accompanying documents to the general assembly and to ask for the assembly's advice in the premises." The motion was adopted practically unanimously, the ondv difference of opinion being as to the form of sub- mission. Other Business Done. At the meeting of the trustecs of Queen's University, held, Wednesday afternoon, evening, and Thursday morning, it was decided to build a |stone observatory on the grounds at the south end of University avenue. Professor Patchett was made assock ate professor of moderns. Oscar Skel ton, M.A., lecturer in political science was made assistant professor. All reports were of a most encour: aging nature, the large increase in the number of students was comment ed on, and the large increpse in the revenue, showing, however, a balance of only $64, after meeting the expendi tures of the year. ture, required for the purpose of the] said liné of railway, or in connection | with the operation, and maintenance or repair thereof, and upon the tolls, | incomeés and revenues of the company arising and to arise from the said line | of railway, and the rights, privileges, franchise and powers of the com- panty now or hpreaiter held in respect thereof. "In the face of the terms of the act it is useless for Whitney to attempt to plead that he gave this guarantee in an effort to improve Ross' transac- tion. © The Ross act contemplated a mortgage upon the entire railway, in- If proper se- curity was not taken under that act, the fault is Whitney's. Jt 'was under his government the mortgage was tak- en on July 12th, 1906, and it was filed at Ottawa on October 5th, 1906. The plans of the James Bay railway (Ca- nadian Northern railway) were ap- proved through the city of Toronto two years before Whitney signed the guarantee, and must, unless specially excepted, have included * all the ter minals and property. And if any pro- perty was excepted, it was done by Whitney. Send In the light of the facts, it is an ar- rant piece of mendacity for Whitney to attempt . to excuse the giving of this guarantee by attempting to make it appear that the security provided for hy Ross was insufficient. Is there something that will not bear the light in this transaction ? SPIRIT OF THE PAESS Meaning Of It All Ottawa Free Fress.

A. Abel, a Syracuse business man, sixty- two years of age, was killed by an explosion of dynamite at Casenovia. He was on a visit to his brother and had suggested the removal of a stump in the yard by the use of dynamite. He placed a charge in the stump, and when it did not explode he went to investigate. While leaning over the battery the charge went off, throwing him into the air. He was badly mangled. Death was instantaneous.

The above is the latest Portrait of Admiral George Dewey and the "only likeness showing thiz naval, hero as he appears today. May Ist of this year is a particularly notable date for the admiral by reason of the fact that it marks the tenth anniversary of the battle of Manila Bay. The captor of the Philippines has aged slightly singe that histori¢ occurrence, but he carries his years remarkably well, and no per gon could suspect from his appearance that he was more than sixty years of age, whereas, as a matter of fact, he is now in his seventy-first year.

'Lhe admiral is confessedly very fond of people, but Mrs. Dewey's health has been such of late years as to greatly restrict their social activities, © MISERY AT PRINCE RUPERT.

The Grand Trunk Pacific authorities have decided at once to becin work on the clearing of another. section of the town site on Kaien Island. The tract covered by this decision is four hundred acres in extent, surrounding the territory which has already been cleared. The work will be done by contract, and tenders for the job in sections are now being called for, the bids to be in by May 4th. on Is Your Skin Scaly, Hardy ?
