The much vexed and long-drawn out controversy bet ween the Ontario 1 Government and the Michigan lum- berman, who claim to be unjustly treated by the recent legislation of the Province, is to come before the % 'courts for adjustment, and general satisfaction will be felt that this cause of friction and irritation beâ€" tween the two counteries promises to be thus permanently removed. It is only fair to remember that the “trouble originated with the Ameri- can 1umbcrmen,at whose instigation high duty was placed upon Canadian lumber taken into the states, while at the same time it was provided that should Canada retaliate by a similar duty the American duty should be increased by the addition 'of duty Canada exacted. To this jug-handled arrangement Ontario at length responded by forbidding the export of lumber into the States ex- .cept in a manufactured state, and \this is the law against which the "Miehiganders are now protesting, claiming that that regulation was not ;in' the agreement under which they fimr‘e’hased limits and that they are therefore unjustly handicapped, by a «rehange which they denounce as a breach of contract. The answer of ‘thc Provincial Government to this is that the limits were bought subject to existing regulations or any chang- es that might be subsequently “made. '~Betweeu these two positions tl e courts will now be asked to decide» (and by this means a more satisfactory and final solution is likely to be :rcached than by adopting‘thet ex~ pedient of disallowance which was .for a time so vigorously urged in some quarters. uun n n n K For Saleâ€"F.

The storm of indignation which has “been aroused throughout the country and among an classes of the‘ electorate irrespective of party by the revelations of the election trials is a reassuring indication that public opinion is more sound than many have been led to imagine. Bribery and corruption at thepolls have been far tooprevalent in the past on both sides but the public reonseience has [been at last aroused and there is} good reason to hope developments .will now take place that will act as a healthy deterent in the. future.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION. honest, partial and partizan mea- sure” and calls upon the Senate to throw it out. One of the chief oh- jeetions urged is that the new Bill does not give representation by popâ€" ulation. But does The World pre- tend that-under the Gerrymander of 1882' there is now representation by population. In our own county North York has a population of 20,- 284 with one member, while West York with one member has 41,857, more than twice the former number. In Toronto the East Riding has 43,- 564, While Centre Toronto has only 26,632. With this inequality of pop- ulation The World has not one word of complaint. To say the least The World. ought to be ashamed of itself. The Markham Sun editorially says :â€"â€"“ The Globe of Friday last justifies the West Elg'in corruption case, by citing the fact that in 1884, a Conservative bribery plot existed to defeat the Mowat government. The Globe must believe, therefore that two wrongs make a right.” We have not looked up the Globe of Friday, but «venture teeny that The Sun is- laboring under a mistake. Instead of justifying the corruption in West Elgin it has time and again condemned it as every honest man should. Asa newspaper man prov fessing to be fair toward opponents we respectfully request brother Sun to quote the Globe’s paragraph justi~ fying the corruption, or acknowledge that it was mistaken.
