Yet the evehtS of the last ten days are suggeStion that it might be well for the Canadian Government to consider whether it cooldnot spare moremoney forarming and drilling the volonteers, without imposing additional lmrdens upon the people. Canada ought to bavo a well drilled and well armed volunteer force. The country now Igo: a force which is neither well ' drilled or well armed. The national revenues justify a larger expenditure upon the militia, force.

The liTifited, States is to blame not less than England. The streugth whieh is the gnv ofAinerican people, was not given to blow about. but tO use forthe :goal of humanity. If both nations - ban employed in tiat• service of helpless Christians in Armenia the energies they have wasted in discussions of Petty differenees in Venezuela. this . trouble might not have arieen to teach both nations that in war they would eeon lose more than they have saved I' neglecting the humane duty of beireing the Turk to time. :t- ea. long as United States school hook- teach ekmerican children that the Britain of to -day is identical in ephit with the England that oppressed the eolonies in 1770, so long will the pubiie opinion of the United States be a powder magazine, whieh any Preei- demae-ogne like Cleveland can ignite with etouch of his pen. The eovernine• force which oppressed the a American colonists in 1776 also op- preesed the British people. The free- dom which the Americans gained by • war was gamed by their English kins- folk in pretee. The British of to -day '1 ...leads the world in everything that makes for the advancement of the world, and. tbe material enrichment of the people. The United States does well to aspire to the position of leader- ; ahip whieh Great Britain now occup- ies. It can gain that leadership by . simply excelling Great Britain. The ‘"Afinerican people have only to be wis- er then the British at the polls. They have only to develop statesmen more a- • for eighted than the British Politicians, e They ehould seek to lead by building- ' thenaSeleres up, rather than beepulling The election in Jacques Cartier Mon day was adverse to the Government candidate by a majority of 574. This in one sense has only moderate sig- Ilificance, as the result was discountid an along, and the Government put forth comparatively little strength. in view of their large following hi the House, and the fat that a by-election at the tail end of a Parliamentary term insuch cases does not furnish ground for very zealous interference. It is not very surprising therefore that the McShane wave which arose in Mon- treal Centre should have eerved to sbove cm the Liberal candidate, Mr. Cbarbonneau, to hie expected haven. 'There are some 800 residents of Mon- teealhaving votes in the constituency, and it way be Sure that the influences that made for the saccess of "Jimmy" MeSteme were; exerted to the utter- most in .Taceuee Cartier to bring these to the polls.

Every county ethere a house of refuge has been established is. unanimous itt -favor of maintaining suchan institu- tion. The estimate for establishing such an institution in this county and maintaining it, arrived at after me- te', consideration by the committee ap- pointed by the county to investigate the matter, is a fair and reasonable one. The site or location forthebuilds' lug, if the people deride in its favor is yet an open question. But that should not deter any ratepayer from voting for it. The comities east, west, and , south of us have all established houses of refuge for their poor and needy.
