An earnest and sincere l Christian, and a scrupulously honest 8 and true gentleman, is the earthly record he leaves behind hien. Mr. Carling was a brother of Sir John Carling, and there survives him, a widow and nine children. LAKPLIT. THE WINGHAM TIMES, SEPTEMBER 6 1895, RS SIR CHARLES RIV ,WiESDN, Interesting View of the New Grand Trunk Ruler, ,I;T:VOLTJTION P' RATES NECESSARY To DIVIDEND -7111?; C:17ATLAN DX - RECTORATE ougse ON SIR OiaAPL1;,S' VERSONALrrY CQNTj;11S-• TEA Wan SM, HENRY TYLER'S,. Authority ever finds new instill ments. Dissatisfied at last with the candidly autocratic, paradoxically, genial sway of Sir Henry Tyler, that forceful personality familiar for so many years with Montrealors, says the Witness, recedes from. the view at the behest o£' the proprietors, and the supreme autthority of the Grand Truck Radley centres in a slight, middle-aged, brown -eyed man who wears insouciance -like a well-fit,'ting garment; who may conceal a great energy beneath an exterior which suggests a 'fine indifference to care or worry, who has the easy accents of leisure, and who, throwing himself back in his -chair, talks with the con- fidenee of .power. Sir Henry came upon you Iike a fresh anorning breath from the moun- tains, .a blunt, hearty, soldierly man who, having endured the interview- ers with an unfailing courtesy, sud- denly transfixed the latter with an in- tertxygatory index finger, hurling at the same time a series of questions at him, which, in their �comprehen- siv'eness and demand for -encyclope- dic ;knowledge, quite took the breath aweet. And, relishing the stupefac- tion, (sir Henry would pii�t,his thumbs into the armholes of his vest and the • soulful laugh of a humanist would escepeFthe folds of a mighty beard. Sir,Cbarles Rivers -Wilson, on the ! otber :hand, is slight, 'delicate, re- • served, walks softly, wears very , palpably the air of the drawing - room; has a low, musical voice, which it would seem rather bad form to raise; listens to the question, closes his -eyes a little, puts' it through a fine sifting process, and then turning a pair of fine brown eyes upon the questioner, vouchsafes an answer which is probably .more diplomatic than ingenuous. Behind that soft - cress, that manner which might, per- haps, be called languid, one must believe there are reserves of power and value. His record proves this.. 1' This is a rapid portrait of the man or whose word and net are supreme in a ewnporation in which hundreds of n millions of dollars are involved, and g upon whose shoulders now devolves r the herculean task of earning wages for those who sit at home crying vainly all these years, " Give, give," after having deposed from power one • who, with the best intention, was un- able to satisfy the finaneial hunger through. causes to which the entire . railway system of this continent was party. There was, first of all, tlsequestion of the personnel of the ,company. Rumors have been rife that, with the induction of the new president, there would be changes in the local man- , agement.So I may ask you, Sir Charles, if there is any likelihood of radical change inthe officers of the com- pany? I do not ,know how such rumors got afloat. Certainly I had nothing to do with them. I do not see why there should be any reason to sus pect changes. That would be one of the acts that I, as the new presi- dent, would not care to commit, but apart from that there does not ap- pear to me to be any reason why there should be changes in the man- agement. I am only upon the thresh - hold of my business of making ac- quaintance with the system and its officers, but from what I have seen of both so far I do not apprehend any changes in the direction you mention. As far as I have seen the line from Portland to Quebec it is in a good way, and my acquaintance with the higher officers gives me reason to believe that there need be no changes in management. Is it possible that a local director- ate, able to act promptly in a given emergency, without waiting for or- ders from London, would have a stimulating effect upon the business of the company ? property. The divorce between the control of the company and tho oper- ation of the line is thus accounted for.. It is quite Conceivable that if you had this local directorate with powers, we might see Ineasures nn- dertaken by it which might not meet with the sanction of the proprietors, who are vitally interested, The local directorate might thus be harm fol, for, not being proprietors,they y might possibly eomfuit themselves to' undertakings for which the proprie- tors in England in the last resort. would be liable, But do you not think that the company suffers for the lack of some such power which would give the management here the right of initi- ative.?' I fail to see it, was the reply. The management here has full power to operate the plant of the .company. The proprietors should surely have the right to control its poficy, And these proprietors happen to be in England, No; I do not think any- thing is lost to the company by the present arrangement, which, with the capital in the hands of English stockholders, cannot well be differ- ent. It has been -frequently claimed for the C. P. R. that the fact of it being wholly directed locally, though mach of its capi tial is Engtlisb, is • respon sible for its more energetic and en - 1 terprising ananagement. 1 I do not wish to disparage any lother road, but, said Sir Charles,. quietly, turning a sudden look upon the interviewer, •" 1 clo not think the management of 'the C. P. R. has been such a conspicuous success after all." Could the hope be expressed, Sir Charles, that the• Grand Trunk will ever became a dividend -earner ? Well, that depends-aud the new ruler raised himself' in his chair and spoke emphatically, that depends, not upon reduced wages, nor reduc- ing the number of'eniployees, nor so; much upon the number of tons of, coal you burn, nor upon any tem -j porary expedient, but upon -rates., It is not the kind e rails you use-' it is rates. It is not a fit of economy here or there, it is -rates. It is not; a question'even of men, though that? is much, too, but -rates. We have, not been having rates. They have been cut and cut till there are no rates left. This is cruel; that is fatal. And the worst of it is that when rates have been made, and a decent prospect was assured, some- body has broken the agreement, and there has once more been chaos. The supreme thing we need is firm rates, upon which all companies can rely Miss' Etta Scott, daughter of Mr. John Scott, left last Thursday for Sault Ste. Marie, where she will take charge of a school. --The Rev. E. Mahood, who for the past while has been pastor of a church in Iowa, ar- rived here on Fridat-. He will spend sonic weeks at the home of his d father here. -We do not think that even the Jubilee Singers last spring attracted so great a crowd to the church as did the Rev. I?. Harkness on Sunday. As Mr. Harkness has labored in Asia, principally Japan, during the past seven years, all were eager to see and hear him; the result was a very crowded church. A very interesting account of the people, customs, difficulties experi- enced by the missionaries, etc.was given and all left feeling that they knew more of the east than hereto- fore. We only wished the speaker had had more time as everyone's in- terest was thoroughly aroused when for want of time the subject had to be brought to a close. Mr. Harkness intends a SOtll'i to return to his work in Japan, railway,. 2.5 for sinking fund, 8.25 and the Gov. School rate 33-40 of- a mill -Carried. Moved by Messrs.

Moved by Messrs. Doig and Gregg, that the editor of The Clifford Express be paid $25 on printing contract ---Carried. 11Toved by lilessi's.

The Grand Trunk is all right; her con- nections are all right; we need a revolution in rates. • Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson was born in 1831, and commenced his public career as a clerk in the Treasury. He acted as priyate secretary to Mr. Disraeli when Chan- cellor of the Exchequer in 1867-8, and in the same capacity to Mr. Lowe a few years later, He was appointed Comptroller -General of the National Debt Office in 1873, and represented Great Britain at the In- ternational Coinage Commission in 1867. In Egypt he did valuable service in examining and placing the finances of the country on a sounder basis, and has since 1879 been one of the British Government administrators of the Suez Canal. Sir Charles in 1881 was appointed a Royal Commissioner for the negoti- ation of a treaty of commerce with France. Last year he devoted four. months to the inspection of the Cen- tral Pacific Railway,on the affairs of which company he issued an elab- orate report.
