Does the Appointment Signify that Mr. Borden Is Still Committed to the Nationalists, or Has Mr. Coderre Forgotten Mow lie Was Elected ? - Other Political Topics. Utt.twa, Oct. :il.—Now that the changer of mind exhibited by Prime Minister Borden with regard to his Cabinet reconstr.tction have been ended with the appointment of Hon. Louis Coderre ase Secretary of State, a vast amount of •peculagou is going on amongst Uobservativea ah well as Liberals as to just what this extra- ordinary move mews; for extraordin- ary it is in every way. While Hon. Mr. Coderre is a reputable lawyer of good standing in Montreal, be has never distinguished himself in a way to indicate that be was built of Cabinet timber. In fart. up to September 21.t, 1911,. be bad been twice defeated in Horbelaga, and aha, as a candiditr for city controller. In 1911 the Uocbelaga ehrtiou WAN run strictly according to schedule. Mr. Coderre was kept almost entirely out uf. Weetmount, where the English - .peaking workers applied the typpical Ontario campaign antongst the ultra - Protestant Tories, while the really hard work was done quietly amongst the Fren h -speaking population in lit. Henri, so that in the one riding ooncentiaterl the whole double sh system by whieb the Tories won Ontario and gained in Quebec, result WAS that Mr. Coderre wan about 1,3111. But during the campaign Coderre was not prominent enol for his utterances to be followed w much interest, no that though supported the Nationalist platform attracted no attention. No dreamed of him as a Cabinet bility. Nor did they until the Pri Minister's characteristic w o b b 1 i brought bin to the front a few de ago as a strung aspirant: if the Co s.rvative press is to be believed would seem that first Mr. Bort tried to get T. Ohnee Casgrain Montreal, an old political warbo w w•cept the vacant portfolio, but t latter courteously declined. Then was offered to L. T. Marechal, a w known lawyer end Conservative lead of Montreal. The latter did not cline, and alma"t to the lest it seem certain that he would be appointed. such an extent that he received ms eougratulatione. The plan was provide in Bowe suitable manner Mr. Coderre and give Hochelaga Mr. Marecnal. But again the spirit changed. Rodolphe Forget appeared on t scene, and the spectre of Nationale crept in. Mr. Mareehal was astral( Conservative. mad it was not. thoug diplomatic w break too definite with the Nationalistst So at the 1 moment the Prime Minister changed his mind. and decided to co tinue the Nationalist representation his coalition Cabinet, and Louis 0 etre became Hon. Mr. Coder Secretary of State. Thus, awing to the political exige cies caused by Mr. Monk's reeeignatio Hon, Louis Coderre is in the peculi position of a Ministerial re,rpsentati of the French-Canadian embattle, Quebec with a seat won foe him by th Protestant English-sp.eking vote. o Westmouht. He is in the position o a man who won hie next, throng open support of this Nationalist principles and an acceptor o Nationalist help, taking the place i the Cabinet vacated by the leader o the Natinnallet* because of hope) divergencies on the usye) issue. It pretty evident that with this un expected rise to eminent.* Hoo. Mr Coderre must. to able to forget a fr things. The chaoge, however, sir fa nit personality is concerned, is hardly one likely to add to the prestige of the Borden Government, though it may add to the quiet of council meeting,.. Sir Wilfrid Laurier at asid that Hon. Mr. Monk's resignation wee the beginning of the end. Hon. Mr. Ooderre'a suceeesion is another appre- ciable eteyp in the same direction. it is palpable that. he was appointed, not benau.e of any peculiar fitness of his own, but neriines of the Tory vote of Wentmount which gave him his big majority and trade Hocbplaga about the only Quebec riding the Tories, dared open after the lemon of Richelieu. It was an open rontesaion of the Conservative party', want of faith in its own following's strength in the Province of Quebec. Nor will either Ontario or tush e(' 1a. much placated by ibe practical vote of want of confidence in Hon.

And then to cap the climax came the amazing attesk by Magistrate Illolllicken upon the lawyers who dared to defend Liberal victims, and the subsequent contempt- uous dismissal of cases he entered against them. No sub exhibition of the prostitution of courts for partisan ends has ever been known in Canada and it is small wonder that the Roilli° work in aid of Mr. Borden's candidale is denounced everywhere by the Western press its worse than hussies met hods. Threats Phis Bribery. lu the Macdonald bye -election the Conservatives used special police, de- tectives and courts to bulldoze the electors into a proper expression of good Tory belief at the polls. In Richelieu less violent tnethodei were used and the Government workers fell track upon the more convenient met hods of bribe' y and threat. Sir Rodolphe Forget -31.

He knew that elections were not made with prayers and proceeded t, promise the people of Richelieu a touch needed railroad if they would elect the Conservative candidate. while if they dared to return a Liberal they were threatened with the removal of the big Government shipyards from Sorel to Levis or Collingwood. The Richelieu voters refused to he either cajoled or threatened and stood by their Liberal principles. Sorel should furnish some good material for the Government axe. Policy or Opportunism? There are four naval attitudes be- fore the country just now. There is the Boura•sa-Nantel-Pelletier cry of no navy, nu contribution, no nothing; there 1* the Monk attitude of neither navy nor money until after a reter- euce to the people ; there is (he Bor- den idea of an "emergency" contribu- tion with some future policy to be worked out as opportunity allowe ; and there is the Laurier policy of a Canadian navy to be built in Canada, as far as possible of Canadian meter - isle, mnnned by trained Canadians, and maintained under the authority of the Canadian Government tut ready at Any emergency to he placed at the disposal of the Imperial Gov- ernment. the choice should not be difficult. It is not money that Great dritain needs. It is good material in ships and men, and that is what the Laurier policy caps for. SWI Swinging the Axe. There is a general iuspreesion abroad that tion. Mr. Rogers, who in- herits Mr. Monk's trusty axe, will wield it with patience and dexterity on the bigger game while his col- league, Hon. Mr. Pelletier, will see that the open seamen for postmasters is indefinitely extended. Any Gov - eminent servant appointed between 18118 and October, 1911, would do well to walk warily and be ready for "re- moval" at any time. Who Will Lead Now that the Hon. Mr. Monk has been put in cold storage, will the Hon. Bruno Nantel become one of the lead- ers of the anti -jingo wing of the Cab- inet.? At present the Hon.
