Mr. Cook is, no doubt, a keenly dis- oppointedi man. We do not pretend to -lay he is not deserving of sympathy. .'.l'hrough all his life he has been a faith- ful party worker, and snow at this late hour, when misfortune has overtaken him at the polls, and when he feels himself entitled to some preferment at _ the hands of his political bosses, to his chagrin he. discovers that he fails to come up to the requirements, `No new name will be added to the Subscription `laht until the money in paid. The goal of Mr. Cook's ambition was a seat in theDominion Senate, and as these things usually go, the casual onlooker would readily have concluded` that he was quite entitled to the appointment. If party service in the past were the only consideration, it. is evident his ' qualications would have been satisfac- tory, but, to all appearance, the ability -for future usefulness is also a matter of prime. importance, and in this-`Mr. 0001: failed. We do not pretend to say -that the effect an appointment will" haveon the future prospects of a party, as well as the desire to reward faithful service, has not always been a promi- nent factor in making these appoint- ments, and that such is still the case there is no doubt the strictest party man will easily concede, but if in this case. as is charged, the seat in the red chamber was reduced more to the tatus of a commercial commodity, and the proposed appointment made all the more to savor of a corrupt transaction, then all we can say is, it is not without many -parallels in the public acts of the pres- .sen_t Dominion Administration.

'1`erritories.i Not acting for himself, than `the question , comes, for who didheact? . A '0 1 There is no use disguising the fact, 1 `and we may well hang our heads 1 in confessing it, but the political * life ' of our country, irrespective of - ' party, is lled with crookednesa and _ corruption, and the malady, we must r remember, is not altogether conned to the lowest ranks. It is true the more a conspicuous performers, as ,a- usual thing, are drawn from the rank and le, but when occasionally theconscience of the country becomes ar'oused,as the re- ` 0 sult of ome revelation, itsometimes becomes necessary, as in the present case, even for men in high places, to demon- strate to the people their dexterity in E concealing from the public the extent of their implication in the game. Who `' was implicated in the present game? Who started Mr. C. Oameronon. his quest for plunder? Who` were the Fl. parties to prot by the spciles in case the game proved successful? These are questions not answered by. the present 9- investigation, and in all probability will on remain unanswered. _'That Mr. Cook has been unable to connect any member of the .government directly with -the transaction, is a matter for congratula- tion to all unbiased people, but that he had very good reasons for believing that thosein authority were cognizant V` of the negotaticns going on, seems fairly well borne out by the evidence. Sir Oliver Mowat, in considering his claim for a Senatorship, is reported as saying, You are mistaken, Mr, Biggs, about it Mr. Cook. He has not done all he claims for the party. `He has been a 5 very selsh man.- And then Mr. W. _ T. R. Preston, of hug the machine" 9' fame, saw Sir Richard Cartwright about 5 the same matter, and on his "return re- "' ported, that it would be necessary for `ti Mr. Cook to do something more for the 16 is - party. What did `.`doing something more for theparty mean? And when we remember that all this was taking" 3' place at the same time that Mr. Cameron, *3 both by letter and by conversation, was 9f pressing for a $10,000 subscription . "- surely there can be very little surprise 5. that Mr. Cook should have associated 11 in his mind the two events. so similar in character, and so harmonious in out- 001110. It could "scarcely have been expect-' ed that he would have succeeded in implicating any member of theCabinet. Our political leaders have so manyreadya henchmen of the Cameron-Preston type, to do their bidding, and even to an- ticipate their wishes, that it is not neces- sary for `them to become publicly as-_ sociated with such shady transactions. |- On the `whole the Senate is to be again congratulated in once more show ing itself capable of performing a great public trust, `by givrng the people a glance at the'inward working of our; national affairs. -As evidence of the Dominion Govern- Vment s well `established preferenoefor sh caught in foreign waters, `comes the news of Colonel 0 Brien c appoint- ment to a lucrative position. He is to attend the Glasgow Exhibition at a sal- ary of $2500 per `year and 85 a day expenses. ` We certainly have no objec- tion to the . Colonel's appointment, but would -rather prefer to congratulate thin": on his aatuteneaa in so aooruately read` ing the signs` of the - when Hon.

ED1'I'bR1AI.-"NOTES. At the Ontari`o'Legiala,ture on Thurs- day last, a deputation of prominent men from this County, including Messrs. Dm.`1Quinlan,` Barrie ; Wm. Wood, Brad- ford and Geo. Webb, Innisl, were introduced by Mr. Little, to the special Committee on Highways. In the Mail and Empire's issue of last Friday, the statement was made. that Mr. Webb favored the County System. This re- port is a `mistake as Mr. Webb is decidely in favor of township control of publichighways. ' Mr. McCarthy will live many years before the ghost of his manifold incon. sistencies willcease to rise up and con- demn him. During the recent cam- paign ,he made a great splurge about the iniquitous practise" of pairing in parliamentarydivisions, so frequently indulged in. by straight party men, and adding, with that childlike simplicity so characteristic of him, that "we poor independents are not permitted to pair. But as a matter of fact, as was pointed out in these colums at the time, Mr. `McCarthy was not only frequently vpaired" during the last Parliament, but at the rst vote of importance taken in the present Parliament we once more rind Mr. McCarthy paired with a good Conservative. How long will such shameful duplicity and misrepre- sentation on the part of our men in public life, be allowed to go uupunish- ed '1 Grenfel. Advance Correspondence.
