Mr. Marter, exâ€"leader of tb‘ Opposition, but who has become disgusted with his party leaders and is row appealing to his old constituâ€" ents of North Toronto as an Indeâ€" penflent, in opening his campatgn the other night said that it was not good policy to send men to the Legâ€" islature from that city to wage constant and factious opposition to the Government in power, and . inâ€" quired how Toronto could expect to receive legislative favors from an edministration so much abused.

No boodlers need _ apâ€" ply.‘‘â€"Newsâ€"Record. It is encouraging to hear a testiâ€" mony like this from this source, and it is to be hoped the Record man and his party imay have grace to carry out these commendable resoluâ€" tions and thus "thwart‘‘ the possiâ€" bility of any one . giving evidence similar to that given by an elector from the neighborhood of Weisenâ€" burg at the election trial, to the effect that he had received money in 1896 to vote for the Liberalâ€"Conserâ€" vative candidate. Mr. Whitney says "he has positive knowledge that the big corporations which escape their share of municiâ€" pal taxation â€" under the Scrapâ€"Iron Assessment _ Act, have contributed heavily to the Government‘s camâ€" paign fund." The positive knowledge in the posâ€" session of Mr. Whitney is the same kind | as the pbsitive sincerity posâ€" sessed by Saul of Tarsus when perâ€" secuting the Christians. But if Mr. Whitney came to the light he might be constrained as Paul was, to spend the remainder of his days in trying to undo the wrongs he perpetrated while laboring under a delusion. The â€" Conservative organs, both| small and great, are laboring hard to prove that the Government _ of Ontario deserve no credit whatever for their progressive policy carried out in the development of New Onâ€" tario. Here is a sample of the course of â€" reasoning followed by these â€" philosophers: ‘"The Clergue Company deserves the credit for disâ€" covering the natural wealth of the districts and so developing them as to create the necessity for a â€" railâ€" way. The Government simply comâ€" plied with the request for a charter and land â€" grant to the road, and really deserves no more credit than it does for granting a charter to the Berlin and _ Bridgeport line." Acâ€" cording to this kind of argument the Newsâ€"Record must have been in erâ€" ror when giving Mr. S. J. Williams credit for being chicfly instrumental in geiting the ‘Ontario Sugar Refinâ€" ery located in Berlin. Christopher Columbus is the man, and not S. J. Williams, that should have the creâ€" d.t for Berlin‘s fortune in obtaining the sugar factory, because he dis covered America. News from _ the northern municiâ€" palities bas just arrived in Berlin announcing the fact that the utmost enthusiasm prevails throughout that portion of the North Riding of Waâ€" terloo. In fact so general is the opinion that Mr. L. J. Breithaupt will be elected to represent the ridâ€" ing, that no other name is taken inâ€" to serious consideration. This is just the condition of things that might reasonably be expected, when we consider Mr. Breithaupt‘s exâ€" cellent qualifications as a parliamenâ€" vary representative. .

The joint committee of the High, Public and Separate School Boards that was appointed to devise ways and means to secure the erection of a Manual Training School, met in the Water Commissioners‘ room on Wednesday evening. Those present were Chairman C. Bitzer, Ed. Smyth and D. Forsyth of the High School Board; A. Pequegnat and Dr. H. G. Lackner of the Public School Board; Rev. Theo. Spetz, of the Separate School Board, and Archiâ€" tect Knechtel. JOINT COMMITTEE MEETS AND DISCUSSES PLANS. 'it'. was â€" after â€" nine o‘clock when Chairman Bitzer called the meeting to order. i In answer to Chairmar Bitzer'sl question regarding the feeling of the Separate School Board in the mat-| ter, Rev. Mr. Spete said that he could not say that his Board _ was in favor of constructing a $15,000 building for Manual Training purâ€" poses _ as _ proposed . by the High School Board. They were, howâ€" ever, with one exception, in favor of adopting Manual Training teachâ€" ing in our _ school systems. Mr. Spetz also stated that at the preâ€" sent time the Separate School Board could not well _ afford to contribute to the maintenance of a Manual Training School, unless they asked for more than the usual five mills from the town, owing to the heavy expense entailed by the Board in the erection of an addition to their school two years ago. Further amount required for anpual $4,.189,000 MORE ASKED FOR. â€"CORONATION AND * COLONIAL CONFERENCE EXPENSES: «> Mr. A. Pequegnat stated that he telieved the majority of the Board were in favor of Manual Training, bit the jidea of the High School Board â€" is..ng for $15,000 for this purpose was a "sticker" to them. Several members of his Board . beâ€" lieved the school should be more centrally located. He was satisfied, however, that if the school was erâ€" ected the Public School Board would ’send their pupils there for instrucâ€" tion. The members of the committee participated in an informal discusâ€" sion and the unanimous opinion seemed to be that it would be unâ€" wise for the High School Board to approach â€" the Council for a $15,000 addition to their building for Manâ€" ual Training purposes, unless they had the coâ€"operation of the Public and Separate School Boards. The meeting adjourned for a few wecks and in the meantime an efort will be made to secure the coâ€"operâ€" ation of the Public and Separate School Boards. MANUAL TRAINING IN STRATFORD.
