Canada will never be invaded. 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

without imposing additional lmrdens
upon the people. Canada ought to
bavo a well drilled and well armed
volunteer force. The country now

drilled or well armed. The national

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 can be no mistake made: in
voting for the eounty house of refuge
itt the approaching inimieipaleleetions.
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.
Not one of them would go bank to the
