Which seldom takes lees than six weeks
of the session, there are already indica-
tions of a reetlese desire ou the part of
the members to burry on prorogation.
This is not surprising, for the session ie
now well into its fourth month, and even
if every expediency is used to hurry on
the work, there is scarcely a possibility
of getting through before the end of next
month. So far, apart from the evident
desire in Opposition ranks to waste tithe
in all manner of frivolous disoussione on
side issues the proceedings of the session
have been marked by better feeling than
was antioipated. Itis tree the members
on Mr. Speaker's left have been indulging
in mutterings loud and deep of the
horrible disclosures they were going to
make, but nothing could more conclusi-
vely demonstrate the unbroken 0000800
of the Government's policy in every di-
rection and its aoknowledged strength in
the country, than the complete failure to
implement any of these threats by definite
motion, together with the repeated
attempts which have been made to drag
insignificant issues before the public and
magnify them into affairs of importance.
TEE OARTwEr0BT BANQUET.
A notable event of the week lies been
the banquet tendered on Wednesday
evening by tbe Ontario Liberal members
and Senators to tbeir grand old leader,
Sir Richard Cartwright. From every
point of view the event was a notable and
significant one. Sir Richard has been a
tower of strength to Liberalism for many
a deoade, and his self sacridoing labors
for his country and his party are well
understood and warmly appreciated; but
however well a condition or a fact is
known and recognized, it dues no harm
occasionally to give it special emphasis.
The occasion was essentially a family re-
union, and it gave the opportunity for a
general exchange of congratulations on
the splendid work the party had accom-
plished for the country in the past, its
enviable position in the confidences of
the nation in the present, and the'mmgui-
fioient outlook for the future. Betting
aside all partisan prejudicse no observant
man, who values his reputation for corn-
mon sense and calm judgment, will besi•
tate t0 admit that
The benefits t0 be derived from the
abolition of statute labor and having a
thorough system of roadmaking are thus
outlined in the Municipal World :
'In every township it is now practically
admitted that the statute labor eyetem ie
of but little veins in making further im-
provement in the condition of the roads.
Many Cannella expreee their willingness
to make a ohmage, but they have not
eatietied themselves with a eyetem to
take its plane. The following is an out-
line of the townobip eyetem; whioh is
being oommonly eaoepted. • A careful
study will make its merits plain, Coun-
cils, however, which expect to see their
way clearly from the beginning will be
very apt to be disappointed. The only
way is to move ahead with courage and
the details will fall into line.
Do away with the statute labor roll
entirely. If this line le x01 favored the
labor may be commuted ata rate per day.
This ranges from 26 cents to 75 Dente in
the townships now commuting.
If etatnte labor ie entirely abolished
levy a rate on the aoseeement of the
township to raise the money required.
For road purpoaee, divide the township
intoe convenient number of divisions,
usnally four.
Apportion the money among the road

SETTLERS CROWDING IN,
The immigration returns for the month
of April indicate that both in numbers
and quality the influx of settlers into the
North West is decidedly satisfaotory.
No lees than 6,636 persons were register-
ed at Winnipeg as new comers settling
in the West, being 1,000 more than the
number received in April 1899, and ex-
ceeding also the total of March wbioll
W8,8 itself an unusually heavy month.
Of this 6,536 no less than 1,171 came
from the States. The total of immigrants
which have passed through the Winni-
peg immigration office during the first
four months of the present year are
close upon 12,000,—not a bad start.
TEE VERDICT OP I3I010113
will be in the words uttered by the guest
of the evening, when he declared that the
four years which had elapsed from 1896
to 1900 had been pre-eminently fruitful
years in the history of Canada during
which she had made gigantic strides both
morally and materially. In these four
years, said Sir Richard, we have shown
our American friends that while we are
willing to carry on trade with them still
if they abut their doors to us we are not
merely able to etand the blow but to
prosper and develop our trade and nom.
meroe in a greater ratio than even they
can do ; and we have shown our friends
on the other side of the Atlantic that
Canada oan send to the field soldiers well
worthy of taking their place alongside the
greateat veterans the empire can produce.
Continuing Sir Richard uttered a well.
timed note of warning against over -eon.
fidence in preparing for the approaching
election, with the reminder that how-
ever good and righteous a cause might
be, it might easily stiffer defeat if
thorough organization and strenuous
work were neglected. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.
A JODENALISFIO MOUNTEBANK,
One of the humors of the political situ-
ation is the position occupied in Canadian
journalism by the Montreal Stam Early
last session the Star issued a circular let.
ter to itsoorrespondents throughout the
Dominion, informing them that in polite.
cal matters it was strictly independent,
though in some unaccountable manner
the idea had got abroad that it was a
Coneervativo paper supporting the Tories
both in federal and provinolal politics.
This, the letter entered, was a mistake,
for it favored no political party and was
prepared to deal with public questions on
their merits regardless of party. Open
the face of it it would appear somewhat
strange that the management abould con.
eider it necessary to Impress this upon
its own employees, foe surely the poliey
of a paper should be intelligible to its
own staff, however enigmatic it might ap•
pear to the outside public. The circular
created considerable amusement at the
time among those who received it, and if
the columns of the paper may be taken
ae any criterion

that are generally oommon to tiler dis-

This, however, is not at all surprising
when we consider the fait that thekid-

are the great waste pipes of the system,
end the perfect working of those organs
means the elimination of ell sorts of Ma-

theu to thie riddance of the system by
the kidneys and bowels of waste sad
dangerous substances, liquid and solid,
