The Mail and Empire of Monday says: “ The first task that will en- gage the attention of the Prime Min‘ ister upon his return to the capital will be the selection of A Speaker. The general impression is that; the choice for speaker ofthe Commons )vill fall upon Mr. A. Campbell.” If Sir Wilfrid Selects the member for Centre York for the position of speaker, there is every reason to be» lieve the latter will fill the position with grace, dignity and honor. The Ontario House has been dis- solved by the Lieut. Governor, and dections wiil be held on ‘the 25th of January. The Toronto Star of Tuesday con- tained an article in which it was salted thzit the Dominion Alliance would probably nominate candidates for the legislature at the coming elections. A member stated that if Ir. Whitney wins in the coming contest the Alliance will ask him to grant prohibition. This looks like fully, as Mr. Whitney has publicly stated that he has no use for prohibi- tion. To what crimes and offences (lees The». Mail refer ? Mr. Gamey has gone so far as to charge contemplat- eJ murder against; the Ross Govern- ment. The Mail would like to as- sociate the members of the Govern- ment with the recent; ballot box frauds at Belleville, but where is the ground for such a charge ? The Government and all honest Liberals deplore the rascality, and are pre- pared to do what they can in punish- ing the perpetrators of the crimes. There has been no charge of corrup- tion proven against Mr. Ross or his associates. If empty charges and coarse abuse would stand for sound reasoning and argument, the names of the members of the Government would have been wiped ofi‘ the slate long ago. But no charge of corrup. ' tion has been proven against them. The Mail of Monday repeats its bpinion expressed on a previous oc- 'casion that “ every man who becomes 5a candidate for the Ross Government accepts the responsibility for the po. litical crimes, and the nominee can- not be dissociated from the offences.” We have no doubt Mr. St. John ‘was sincere in uttering the above words, but had he said half as much in the recent Conservative Confer- ence in Toronto, he would have proved himself to be a man possess- ing backbone. When the subject of temperance was touched upon in the conference, Mr. St. John opened not his mouth. The door of the liquor traffic will never be closed, nor will prohibition be secured by speeches made in Massey Hall on Sunday fter'n'oo‘ns. Mr. J. W. St. John, ex-M.P.P. for West York, who occupied the chair at the meeting in Massey Hall Sun- day, in connection with the Canad- ian Temperance League, spoke of the growing temperance sentiment in Ontario. It was the duty of Gov- Ernments. said he, to safeguard the citizen, and every effort that tended to minimize an evil made for the Safety of the people. “To the ex- tent that you restrict the liquor traffic,” said Mr. St. John, “you open avenues for increased freedom among the people: Oh, for the day to comeâ€"and let it be soonâ€"when we will safeguard our youth against the avenues to sinâ€"close the door of the liquor traffic.” Change Change Change @119 meu ‘I‘CHMOND HILL NEW Adfiiiartisements.

Local tenmlry of few Come now, Mr. Mail, tell your readers what Mr. Ross has said in a isneering way about Mr. Whitney that shows him to be a dwarf among men. Surely you do not take your readers for a. lot of blockheads who swallow everything they see in the newspapers. Give Mr. Ross’ exact words and let people judge for them selves. You often talk of British fair play, but we fail to see any trace of it in your remarks as quoted above. “Mr. Ross has begun his cam paign in the Globe by sneers at Mr. Whitney. Such tactics reveal the exact measure of the man who re- sorts to them. They show that the Premier is a dwarf among men.” The Muil of yesterday contained the following among its editorial notes:â€" Mr. John Richardson, who has been local member for East York for the past ten years, has been appoint- ed Clerk of the County Court for the County of York. Mr. Richardson have been a faithful member of the House, and his geniality and honesty has made him a favorite with both sides of politics. He has never been noted for making long speeches in the Legislature, but his previous municipal training as township councillor, county councillor and ‘ warden made him one of the most valuable members of the various committees on which he worked. Mr. Richardson has not en- joyed the best of health for a num- ber of years past, but we sincerely hope he may long be spared to fill the position to which he has recently been appointed; «mg called by the Convener, on (:vqung before the convention, at President BGSTON’S HALL, AT 1.30 P.
