Certainly there is none from Israel ; Mr. Tarte is otherwise engaged. = By the recent action of the Domin•- ion, Government in alloWing the American Oil Trust to get control of the Cana:dian oil interests,' the price of coal oil has, advanced several cents. It is mow worth 20 to 25 cents per gal- lon. There is a wide difference be- tween this price and the price the member for North Middlesex promis- ed tbe electoks during the late cam- paign.

So long as he bad the confi- dence of. the House, he was practically A dictator. If he were not a strong man, then one or two of his cabinet controlled the situation, made op their minds as to what should be done and then the policy was forced on the members who Must either accept it or take the odium of differing with their party.
