that the lack of uniformity there is bein

The figure at which the debt stoo a month

t seems to us t}.t -Sir Charles Tupper
his followers in parliament have made a
tical mistake iri raising such a row about
Yukon irregularities. If they desired
ake capital against the Government, as
they no doubt do, they coula have got
plehty better mat rial. The people of the
couatry generally are not particularly in-
tere ted in Yuk n affair. Aside from a
few pecplators w o have money invested
ther , and the ad enturous few who have
gone there in ques of gold, the rest of us
do n t care much about it. Oor principal

not ut any more of our good money into
