|CANVASSING AT ELECTIONS.

Tue Examiner’s remarks concerning political corruption and how to deal with it have been favorably received by the (t is freely admitted by men of all classes and parties that the evil exsts, and that its suppression is demanded in the interests of the country. ' On the part of the press, The Pioneer eays : “Such a system ia entirely opposed to

public.

( the penalty,

the prospect of good government and . should, if possible, be wiped out. * *

| Something should stem the tide cf corrupt practices at elec- tion times and the soover such restric~ tion takes forcible and permanent ehap~ the better for the morals aud the general welfare of the community.”

The Guardian says:

“* * * * Doubtless there are great evils connected with the practice, but Tue EXAMINER’s remedy is a very radical one.”

And the Patriot pays: For our part we would be greaily pleased to see canvassing abolished; further we would not be strong- ly opposed to make carrying “black ducks, ’ eatchels and bank notes for corruption purposes a penitentiary offence. If this were the law, we believe that about two Tories to one Liberal wonld come under We have no sympathy with any one who bribes, and if Toe Examiner will only extend its appeal for reform, to all elections, federal, provincial and mun- icipial, it shall have our bearty support.

Our contemporaries are, Of course, all about equally blind to the guilt of their liberal part: zane.

ascribe our electoral “

liberal

All unanimously roitenness” to the Conservatives alone. This is a good story to tell tothe marines! But no inielligent elector, with the liberal record of the past six years before him, no one who has taken note of the record ot the courts throughout Cavada during the past twenty years, will believe it fora moment. We shal] neither cry tu qucaue nor indulge our contempo~ raries in the childish gane of “ kettle cal! the pot black,” will the prohibition of canvassing indivieual elec- tors have the effect of wiping out the evil which the Pioneer declares’ is entirely Opposed to the prospect of good govern- ment?”

The question is :

The Pioneer says that—

“ The tory press is so corrupt and tory politicians talk so much “ through their hats,’ eepecially at election times, that these discreditabie floating voters ‘vould be just as liable to have their political education blighted as to arrive at just, honest end correct Opinions upon polivical matters.’

This is begging the question. Tory papers are not in @ position to draw from a well-filled purse for the purchase of likely looking cats or their kittens, or for a ca%,

‘ purpose of buying over electors;

of whiskey, or for a barrel of flour for the nor can Tory politic:‘ans induce an elector to vote for them for a personal consideration or bribe while“ talking through their hate.’

Bui maintain and guard open and free discussion at public meetings and by the medium of the press, even though there are politicians who “ talk trough their hats” and newspapers which publish the thing that is not.

The Pioneer intimates that the abolition of Party ‘aiust accompany the abolition of Are we to understand that parties in the state cannot exiet without

canvassing.

the exhibition of personal selfishness and ambition promoted personally by means of canvassing letters and visits from door to decor with the accompaniment of bribery and corruption? Is that the Pioneer’s opinion ? On the part of the Liberal-Con- servatives, we repudiate and repel the idea that such are or ought to be of political parties.

the motives We maintain that the abolition of canvassing will not prevent men from differing upon questions of the day or from forming parties to carry out their views and policies in the Legislature and Government of the country. It naturally and probably relieve politics of much of the personal rancour and acrimony which now operates to the disadvantage of the country, and it woald take away from our politicians the desire to get back, in some way, full value for the money or other consideration given by them, under existing conditions, for the purpose of obtaining votes; because it would deprive them of the opportunity to bribe and corrupt the corruptible voters. But it would not prevent the formation or maintenance of parties for legitimate pur poses connected with the good of the

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—Montrea] Gazeite: Li Hung Chang has been dismissed from power at the demand of the British Government. China has reached the state of governmental weakness where it does anything that anybody calls for. Germany asks for a port, and ge's it; Russia demands a province, and it is handed over; Great Britain seeks her chief statesman’s dis~ miscal, and he goes. The oldest cf civi- lizatious is in its decrepitude. Its con- dition is an invitation to plunderers,

—The Guardian tries to make a point against Senator Fergueou because, though a thorough temperance man, a believer in probibition and & warm advocate of affirmative voting in the plebiscite, he re-~ ferred in his published letter to the secre~ tary of the Provincial Alliance, to the equivocal position as to prohibition taken by Premier Laurier and the Governmect. The Senator ouzht, in the opinion of the Guardian, to have been silent about the Government and the “ unassuring ” condi tion: created by 1. The Guardian vould, evidently, sooner have the electors go to the polls in the dark as to the true state of the case than utter a word against our Liberal Government. Perish prohibition rather than speak the truth about the Government’s actions concerning prohi-~ bition !

Chappell’s Plans Adopted---Princi- pal’s Apartments Obliterated.

The Priiee of Wales College job has taken another twist, LeMay’s pian has been discarded and Chappell’s plan adopt~ ed, after Some alterat Oas had been made. But the contract price remains the eame.

Work , according to Chapyell’s plan was wan begun on Friday afternoon, after a stop Of two or three weeks, Chappell’s plan, itmay be pointed out, calle for a building 132 feet long by 74 feet wide in tie nariowest part. LeMay’s plan provid- ei for a structure 132 feet by 42 feet, with wings. Accordi gto Chappeli’s plan the bailding will be pract cally equare.

‘he south front 1s widened by two pro- jections on the east and west sides making the building front 100 feet on Grafton street. Tne Weymouth street front will be 132 feet. The building runs north and south. This arrangement admite the sunlight to the class-rooms from the east and west.

Oa the first floor there will be two class rooms, each 26x40 feet, chemical laboratory 20x26, pbysical laboratory, 17x26, girls aud boys wardrobe rooms each 12426, and two normai class rooms 26x35, with cap rooms. A corridor 13 feet wide runs through the centre of the building from south to north, with the rooms mentioned above on each side. Oa the same floor, and crossing east to west, is another corridor 14 ft wide, with entrances at each side, ‘This corridor contains the stair-cases leading to the second floor. There are three en~ trances, one each from the south, east aud west.

On the second floor there are four cla+s rooms, 26x40 feet each, ateacher’s room 10x16, and an assembly ball 68x43. The assembly ball bas an arched woodea ceil ing, and is fitted with platform avd dress- lag rooms.

‘here are two playrooms in the basement each 26x40, one of which is for the boys and the other for the girls. Leading off the play-roome are the toilet rooms, Part of the basem: nt will be taken up by heat- ing apparatus and coal bins. The janitor will also have apartments in the base- ment.

Chappell’s plan gives about 3,650 equare feet more space for schoo/room purposes than LeMay’s. The principal’s apart~ ments are cut off entirely.

Provision is made for all ceilings and wainscotting throughout the building,

which was omitted in the other contract. The toilet rooms will be concrete instead of wood,as specified by LeMay’s p'an, and all the outside steps will be of stone instead of only tome of them being of that mater- ial. Allthe outside finish, such as ventil- ators, etc., will be of galvanized iron ins stead of wood as called for by LeMay’s plan, and instead of a shingle roof the roof will be of slate. — > © <a
