NOTES AND COMMENTS.
There is a, great surprise in New
Brunstvick at the statement of the
Toronto Globe that the Government
does not intend to buy the Canada
Eastern railway. The St.John Sun says
this intimation "will be interesting
veading on the Nashwaak. The declar-
atioes of Mr. Blair in conversation,
his statementh on the public platform
were solemn enough two weeks ago.
Now they are Tory 'yarns' and
'screeching towers' and things of that
kind. The Sun has several times ex-
pressed the opinion that there was no
certainty in this transaction. Mr.
Blair bas nndertakeu to pnt the af-
fair through. He has persuaded Mr.
Gibson and the people of York that it
will be done. He leas obtaiued and
shown a communication from Sir Wil-
frid Laurier, which was exbibited as
a convincing document. Now that the
election is over, and the Marysville in-
fluence has done its work, the Govern-
ment organ at Toronto, which kept
quiet until the vote was polled, comes
out with its repudiation. We shall see
what happens next." There can be
little doubt that while the Govern-
ment is promising in the East that it
will buy the road, the organ in the
'West is put up to deny its promise.

Purifying the EleatiOns.
The Westminster publishes an article
on the above subject that trenchantly
points a moral from the character of
the campaigns waged of late by the
Liberalparty in constituencies such as
West Elgin, West Heron and South
Perth, though in the latter riding they
felled of their purpose. Many an
elector will soundly endorse the re-
marks of the Westminster. We sub-
join that paper's article entre:
"The Ontario Legislature has before
it tlais session several bills for the
amendment of the election law. There
may he defects in the act at present
on the statute book end the proposed
amendments may provide some rem-
edy. But ameudnients to the act will
not avail. The real evils which threaten whole thing was a shameful Impose -
this country cannot be remedied by a tion.
vote of the Legislature. It is not the Search every country where Paella -
law that needs amendment so much as rnentary institutions exist, and I defy
its administration. Under the elea, you to show me one single case in
tion laws as they now are it would be which so monstrous, so absurd, and eo
possible for this country to prosper in
all things that make for the better-
ment of the people, but there can be
no prosperity so long as the election
methods now in vogue are continued.
As now managed an election campaign
is a curse to a coastituency. Some of
the best communities in Ontario have,
during the past few months, been in a
continual political ferment, and. the
effect of the agitation has been in-
jarioessocially and morally. Socially
there has been bitterness and strife;
morally, confusion and degradation.
And this, too, without any compensa-
tion. There may be some great prin-
ciples dividing Liberals and Conserva-
tives in the Ontario Legislature, but to
most men who are not blinded by par-
tizanship, it seems an affitir of ins and
outs, or at niosta question of men—
which party is strongest in men of
ability,knowledge and integrity.. And
there is nothing in the campaign itself
to conapensate for the accompanying
evils. It is the veriest clap -trap to
say an election campaign educates elec-
tors in the great questions of their
country's government. The average
election speech is not framed for the
purposes of education but immediate-
ly and directly to catch votes. The p01 -
tical education of the constituencies
which have recently been brought
through the agonies of bye -elections
and election protests has • not been
advanced one hair's breadth. They
have lost socially and morally, and
have made no real gain to matcb. And
in this bad business men of both poli-
tical parties have been bavolved, sin-
ning against their best:traditionsof
their past and inortgaging heavily
their chances for the future in the
blindest and maddest effort to win the
petty present.
"One amemiment might indeed be
made to the election law, one which
would check the growing tendency to
take the management of the campaign
• I out of the hands of the local candidates,
The policy of the Government has
really been an anti-British policy.
It, is my opiaion that the itaterests
of Canada required, not that there
ebould be an adjournment (of the High
Joint 'Commission), but a suspension of
these negotiations.
The time has come when the world
should know that we are net in the
humiliating and. dependent position of
being obliged to cringe as supplicants
at the feet of the United States. on teoy
consideration whatever.
The feeling throughout the whole of
this country is that the position of
Canada would be infinitely higher,
stronger, and better to -day if that
High Joint Commissionhad never
been heard of.
The conditions under which the pleb-
iscite was taken were deliberately
made such as to crush the enthusiasm
of the tempera,uce advocates. The
The Executive of the Dominion Alli-
ance has issued a circular in reply- to
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's refusal to take
action in- the shape of prohibitory
legislation. It is beaded, "The Voice'
of the People ; a definite demand for
prohibitory legislation," and. is signed
by F. S. Spence, secretary of the Alli-
ance, Chairman J. 3. Maclaren. The
xecent plebiscite vote in analysed in a
variety of ways to show that the voice
of the people, as expressed at the polls
warrants the enactment of a law mak-
ing, the liquor business illegal. It is
pointed out that in 1896 the Liberals
had less than 45 per cent. on the vote
actually- polled, while in 1898 more
than 50 per cent of the vote polled was
recorded infavor of prohibition. The
Premier's promise to the General
Conference of tbe Methodist Church,
on March alth last year, When he said
"If the plebiscite meets with the sup-
port of a majority of the people, those
who find themselves in the minority
will have to concur ba the verdict of
the majority," is cited as a direct pro-
mise, and the futility of the big ex-
penditure in connection with taking
the vote is commented on. Finally
the alliance appeals to the Dominioh
Parliament in the name of "128 cons
stituencies,and268,487 voting electors,"
to enact legislation thab will fairly
embody the expressed will of the
people.
If Mr. Laurier made this promise he
should stand or fall by it. The men
who signed it are political friends of
his.
The Dominion Government is said
to contemplate a change in the laws
respecting life insurance for the pur-
pose of renderieg more secure the in-
tetests of insurers. At present the
life insurance rates of most companies
are based on the supposition that their
reserves are earning 4 1-2 per cent.
The falling rate of interest, however,
leaves that rate rather theoretical,
most of the companies finding it diffi-
cult to realize 4 1-2 per cent. after pay-
ing expenses. A few companies have
earned a title to credit 17 voluntarily
basing their calculations on a 4 rcr
cent. basis, which is tearer the prac-
ticable in this clay of cbeap money -
The Governmett's proposition is said
to be to gradually rednce the rata a
interest which it eegniree the reserve
to earn until it reaches 3 1-2,!allowing
seven years for the completion of
the procets. This law will of course
necessitate a material increase in the
reserves and also an increase in the
pasmiums on new business, The pri-
vate citizen will likely be moved by
these circumstances to enquire, if such
measuree are necessary to perfect the
security of holders of policies hi regu-
lar liFc companies, where those insured
in cheap assessirtent companies come
in. The law at teeesent requires the
regale& life companies to put by two-
thirds of every premium in order to
proteet the future policy. How the
assessment companies can give safe
committees and workers, and to place
it in the hands of the professional or-
ganizers and henchmen of the perties.
The presence of certain paid outside
professionals in a constituency for a.
fortnight before an election is too
significant and suggestive to be dis-
regarded. It means business. The
hovering around these strangers of the
known purchasable voters of the dis-
trict is an indication that the business
of the strangers is crooked and corrupt.,
A carcase must be there, otherwise the
vultures would not gather. An amend-
ment, that would secure the punish-
ment, swift and merciless, of these
outside skilly men, who are in the em-
ploy of their party,a,ncl whose manage-
ment of an election frustrates the
honest efforts of local candidates and
workers, would be a move in the right
direction.
"But what is really needed is a new
spirit and a bigher ideal. Unless we
get these all tinkering with election
laws vsil be vanity. Both in the Leg-
islitture and in the constituencies men
must love righteousness and hate in-
iquity, and men must be made to know
that iniquity wrought in a good cause
is the more iniquitous because of its
insult to truth and right. The Jesuits
doctrine that the end justifies the
means is not an argunaeiat whose use
is a credit to either Liberals or Conser-
vatives. The doctrine that we must
fight the devil with fire is not only a
two-edged sword cutting both ways,
but is a compromise with tbe devil and
is, in the language of the Apostle
james,a, `damnable heresy,' Whose pro-
pagation is a crime against morality
and truth."
utterly untet able a proposal (Sir Wil-
frid's Senate reform scheme) was ever
made as that to which the Premier
has committed himself.
I believe when the figures ere
brought down, it will be found the
new postal rates, instead of placing
hundreds of thousands rif dollars in the.
pockets of the people, will really ne-
cessitate a tax of several millions in
order to make up the deficit occasioned
by.the change.
I contend it(the proprosed gerryman-
der) means that, having improperly
obtained a majority in this House, the
Premier wants to escape the verdict of
the electorate he represents, a verdict
-Which he cannot get repeated.
The Ontario Government made a
nuniber of changes in its revenue bill.
The taxation on smaller breweries has
been slightly decreased, while that on
the larger breweries has been increas-
ed. On tbe other hand, the tax it
was proposed to impose on license
holders has been reduced by from $20
to $50, according to the size of the city
in which the license is issued. The
tax on banks bas been Changed so as
to strike out the $15 on each $100,000
of capital over $6,000,000. This change
affects only the Bank of Montreal, but
it will reduce the tax it was proposed
to impose on that institution by $900
ayear. The tax on stock fire insur-
ance companies is increased. from 1-2
per cent, on the premium revenue to
2-3 of one per cent. Mutual companies
which receive premium payments in
cash must also pay the tax. They
were exempt under the bill as first
drawn. Life Companies which have
not their headquarters in Ontario,
must, he addition to the tax on their
premiums, pay one-quarter of one per
cent. on the returns from their invest-
ments in the province. The bill as
first drawn imposed a tax of 815 per
mile on all railways bonused by the
province: The new bill puts a tax of
$5 per mile on all railways bonused by
the province. The new bill puts a tax
of $5 per mile on all railways, whether
bonused or not. This will increase tbe
revenne from this source by over
$4,000 a year. The express company
tax is reduced from S3,000 to $2,000.
Gas and electric -companies were
exempt under the old bill. Under
tbe new one tbey are to pay one-tenth
of one per cent. on their- paid-up capi-
tal.

Some newspaper subscribers erten
wonder why a publisher will keep on
sending his paper when the subscrip-
tion has expired. The reason' is this.
When the subscription price is paid to
a certaiu time and promptly discon-
tinued at that time many a subscriber
allows his angry passions to rise and
curses the publisher for insinuating
that his credit is not good. That will
make the average man mad. Rather
than cast any insinuations against the
subscriber's honesty to pay a small
debt, it has become customary for
country newspapers to continue send-
ing the paper after the subscription
bas expired, although the large dailies
and weeklies do not onerally follow
this role, as their subscribers live at a
distance and besides they are not
acquainted with them aud do notknow
their financial standing. (inc should
deem it an honor to know that his
credit is not doubted NO en the publish-
er continues to send the paper. Should
the subscriber desire to have the paper
discontinued at any particular time,
be should inform the:publieher to that
effect.
