appear in the daily papers during the first week in August or at least- not later than the second Saturday of this month The other results will appear about a week or ten days lat er number of candidates the province is considerably larger than last year on account of the fact that the Junior Leaving and ihc Junior Matriculation examinations are separate Junior Leaving candidate may claim from the Department- a Matric ulation certificate in every subject In which he obtains onethird of the marks To cover this requirement the Education Department is- issuing a new certificate which contains a list of the subjects of examination and the marks obtained by the opposite each subject in which he has failed but nothing op posite the subjects in which he has passed It will be seen that the pre paration of these reports and involves great labor especially as only two can work at the job at once one copying and the other read ing figures- Mr Coombs also informs us thai the Junior Leaving Physics paper which has caused many students much anxiety is being marked most liberal ly half the paper was considered bad and the -candidates- knowledge of the subject will be by what he did on other part of the paper Accordingly no further anxiety need be felt on this matter There are one or two other papers which are marked quite liberally also they were usually- Op Fine About people attended the match on the Fair Grounds on Wed nesday afternoon between St Catha rines and Newmarket teams visitors were much heavier than our boys and from the looks of the teams a close match was anticipated hut right from first play St Kits was not in it The first three games were taken in a few minutes Our boys showed great agility and played fine lacrosse The combination was simply excellent due largely to the splendid catching Our boys scarcely ever missed a ball At half lime the score stood to in favor of the Talagoos The tenth game was tak en by St Catharines and this was the only one they scored though they tried hard When time was called the game stood to I An favor or New market Following were the players on home team Goal Clifton Point Webb Point Kennedy 1st Def

session juat closed a new phrase was coined on the Tory side Some of corrupt a ward ing of the of Mr art- he narrates dream with ail the oratorical Vanishments he is capable- ortothc House and cloyeshls Impressive by sternly remarking Mr Speaker Sir reveals to the House atro cious way which somebodys cook Had got hold of a claim in the Yukon thru the undue Influence of somebody else and having case con clusively by reading- an anonymous letter or two demands in tones of trembling indignation if this is high politics The Mr in thunderous tones of woollywestern eloquence denounce the turpitude of the Minister of the Interior in permit ting raiufn se cure a few cords of wood at an alleg ed advantage over and with an air of conviction which overwhelmed all In the minds of his declares that this Hi not high TOt FOR HOT Those who coin phrase should properly be considered the best ex pomuts of its meaning and we may therefore judge what the Tories un derstand by high politics from the character of the policy they have themselves adopted The misrepre sentation for example of the Pre miers attitude with regard to the South African contingents the persist ent attempts to revive the flames of racial strife in the Province of Que bec the attempt stir up religious animosity in Manitoba the to magnify the purchase of a few hundred dollars of war supplies which were not quite up to standard into a deliberate coldblooded on part of ihc Minister of the Depart ment to jeopardize the lives of Cana dians on the battlefield that a politic friend might benefit the persistent misstatements of fads for the purpose of minimizing the splendid results of the Literal policy of imperialism these are sample instances of Tory High Politics High politics like high game may become loo strong for the digestion of ordinary mortals and when they are as malodorous as in eases here instanced the aver- ago elector will lie inclined lo bury them pretty are in fact too high for this warm weather WHIPPING A MORSE Several times during session the Tories wasted whole sittings of the by rehashing their ridiculous Yukon charges which were disposed of to the satisfaction of all reasonable and unprejudiced men previous ses sion aid as a finale Hib- Tupper prepared a document which took over an hour to road re hearsing a variety of these nebulous romances and then putting hem in the hand of his- colleague from to bring before the House turned tail himself and repeated his performance of the previous session by skipping out to British Columbia and not com ing back Not only was the Minister of the Interior assailed but the Mini sters of Militia and Customs the Postmaster General and every other member of the Government who had anything to do in the Yukon received their share of gratuitous and irre sponsible criticism unsupported by one iota of evidence other than the- wild of anonymous correspondents of whom Sir Tupper himself was evidently so much ashamed that nothing could induce him to disclose their identity ON THE OTHER HAND And in reply to this sort of warfare innumerable testimonials have teen received from impartial ob servers as excellent administra tion and the marvellous law and or der which prevails in that faroH dis trict One of the latest of these comes from Rev John who after a lengthy stay in the territory as a Presbyterian missionary has re turned to Ontario on a visit and talks thus to a representative of the London Advertiser The Govern ment has done well in their adminis tration of the Yukon As to the charges of maladministration I con sider them greatly exaggerated Any thing of the kind that occurred was only what was inseparable from the circumstances of a now country being opened up and officials being appoint ed for duties and conditions which were entirely new The manner in which order has been kept and the law administered been the admir ation of all except rascals whose schemes and aims have been frustrat ed have had some correspondence with Mr Mulock continued Mr and have been able to aid him with a little information and ad vice as to the Yukon mailservice and I have found him quite willing to meet thc needs and of the Yu kon people The manner in which he took hold of the question of mail- service there has convinced me that he is an extraordinarily efficient man for his position
