There should also be some guarantee that the work of laying the pipe. if it la, undertaken, will be properly done.

BURDEN'S WILD TALK. 1Ve are accustomed to extravagant statements frau Sir James Whitney, but Mr. Borden, the Conservative leader at Ottawa, has had some repu- tation fur fairness and moderation. Perhaps it was the presence of tbe Ontario Premier on the same platform with him at Toronto the .cher night that led Mr. Borden, in ritirizing the expenditure id the Federal Gov- ernment, to say- that he "was con• vinced from what he had seen at Ottawa that half the revenue was as 1110011 wasted as if it had been thrown into the sea." It may be that the large increase of expenditure at Ottawa is not justi- fiable, but wholesale denunciation in this style will not effect any reform, Mr. Borden rouf/t do store good_ by pointing 0111 14141' specific item of 9100 that might be saved than by talkie* indefinitely of millions.

Mr. Proud(oot's Declaration on the Liquor Question.

A great deal had been said, Mr. Proudfoot remarked iu his *perch, of the results of the past general etee- (ion. it had ire lessons, "but he sues• Toned if it was e.thulsted at Eta real v lue.
