Although it may not be BO, it looks ver much as if our Dominion legislators wer simply marking time for the purpose o prolonging the session. The thing is be coining monotonous even to outeiders, an to those who have to attend the session day after day it met have became intoler able. Not that the tessiora is longer tha other sessions of late years, but there doe not seem to be anything done and little t do; and in former sessions the Oppositio were always able to make a lively passag once in a yvhile which avoided absolut menotony„ But the Opposition this sessio does not seem to have the ability to pit u a discussion on any subject worthy of th name. On any of the points whore ths?Gov ernment are vulnerable, the Opposition ar even more so, and where they make attack are just the points where the Governmen are most solid with the people. During' th past week a lengthy discussion took plac on the 'transportation question. This is a weak point with the Governmena Wher they cituld have benefitted the p ple they have failed to move, and where t J benefi to the people was the smallest the t pent the most money. For instance, millions o dollars have been spent in deepening canals, dredging the harbors and increesing the efficiency of thorough transportation, thus giving our American neighbors a shorter and a cheaper route to the seaboard with their products,to compete with the products of this country in the markets of the world, while the local transportation, which is of more importance to the common people of the country, has been, practically, neglected, and the great railway and other carrying corporations who daily discriminate againetd Canadian shipper e 9,,nproducers in favor of the Americans, are not, even molested. On points like theft, where the Opposition could score a point, they are at one with the Government, and both parties appear to be united to facilitate the movement of Am- erican products at the expense of this coun- try. Again, on a matter such as the con- tract made by the G-overnment with the Olergue Company, which secures the estab- Bailment of exteneive iron works in Canada, a transaction of which every sensible Can- adian approves, they waete hours condemn- ing, and so the battle wages. It will be a relief to the reading public when Parlia- ment is prorogued, and the sooner that event takes place the better. The Cook charges committee of the SPn- ate resumed its sittings this -week. It was supposed that the work of taking evidence had been closed, but for some reason sev- eral additional tvitnestses were exemin ed. Mr. Preston and Sir Richard, Cartwright were again recalled, and Dr. Wilson, of Landon, son-in-law of the late M. C. Cam- e e e eron, and executor of the estate, wee exam- ined, as was also Mr. M. 0. Cameron, of Goclerich, son of the deceased Mr. Cameron, A number of lettere written by Mr. Cameron and ethers were ales) submitted, but no new light was cast on the metter. The cese of Mr. Cook was weakened, if anything, by the additional evidence. There was no eentenee in any of Mr. Cameron's letters that could in any way be twisted into an offer of the senatorehip to Mr, Cook for a pecuniary consideration. It did home out, however, that Mr. Cook had got at logerheade with the Provincial Government and had threat- ened them with destruction, and in thie way had incurred the displeasure of Sir Mowat, who opposed his appointmeet to the Senate, and as Sir Richard put it these were two conditions with which Mr. Cook mu,t comply before his application (*aid be even eoneidered, and them were : " Firat of all, that he should make his peace wit% the Lacal Government, and in the next plaf.e, that he t.hould conduct himkelf prop- erly by not brawling at street corners." Wit.h these conditions it seems Mr. Cook wis not able to comply, and coasequentl y he ncver laid any chance for the appoint - melt which he coveted. Tne investig4tion ha.; conpletely exploded the charges, and the furthey they are enquired into the lees f ountlation there seems to be for them. Britihh Finances. The Budget statement of Sir Miehael Hicks -Beach, Chancellor of the 14.;x:Thequer in the British Parliament, recently deliver. ed, was an eye opener to a good many. It was generally known that the South African and ehineee wars had been very expensive, and that the finances were not in as satis- factory and comfortable a condition as in scene former years, but few expected the gloomy forebodings indulged in, with good. reason, by the finaneial head of the nation. That war is a terribly costly cuterprise, the tax -payer ie now commencing to realize. The glitter of the pomp and glory attaching to hostilities is wearing off, and the people • have now got down to the prosaic duty of paying the enormous bills that have been contracted. This is not ao pleasant, and the British trxspayer is not k o good nat- tiredly enthueiastici as he was. But, as there ie no other way of raising the money, • he must bend his b tali to the burden, and ,arame0 expenditure $917,960,000, leaving a deflo it of $266,035,000. spit: war expendkure for the year was $3:25,1000,000. For the current year the eatimateld expenditure i3 000,000, and the revenue $716,275,000, leaiv- ing a deli sit of $220,000,000. To •provi le for this di proprsed to it o inerease the i; income tex ; to pace a customs duty of about a cent a pound on sugar, and to place an export duty of e ehilling a ton on co:O. These new taxes are expected to yield $5 000,000, and the balance is to. be made by a lo:an, which has already been placed the market and which has been erubsoribd for twice over,. thui showing that there is no scarcity of money fon-investment, .and • that • the credit of the old land still stands at the very top fioteh. In this way, aloo, the cest . - of the 'war is being partly paid •by the ,pr Il- ent generation, i but the main portion of it , will be borne by future generation. _ The total cold of the 'South African War thus fer has footed, up to the snug sum of $740,0Q000. Jingoism comes, expensive. In addition to flits the operations in China have cost about $25,000,000. It is almost impoeeible to reel'zi what • these figuries mean, they are so colosal in exteut. B t , the waste of treasure is the leaot of t ie evil. The loss ef life has been ptoportio - ate with the expenditure of money. This is the mok costly war that Britain 'has eVer had, that is in proportion to the time it Itas lasted, And the end is not yet. What a saving it wept be in both life and treasu e if the most enlightened nations of the ear h should reach that degree of civilization th t they could settle their disputes by so e more humane means than by setting - m n to kill his fellow man. Will this degree f civilizttion ever be attained ? Tee National public debt, including recert and peoposed additions, will he at )cat $3,650,000,000, or about $90 per head of t e population. At the close of the war wi h Franco, in 1515, the realized debt or t e United Kingdom was $220 per head. 1 i• Now -Is the Time. A dispatch frrn Otniwe says , -" The growing need of more accomm dation for the various departments of tl e Government is receiving attention at tt e hands of Hon. J. I. Tarte, who has devolved a scheme for connecting the present Parlia- ment huildings with the east and west co as to form an fexchisive irregular scn i• circle of buildhaget' having the base on W I- riii lington street, with the preeent Perliame t, buildin s as the apex. The new buildings which •t is proposed should form , the con- nectina links would be used as department• al buildings. The work will be very tic c- lish indeed, and if carried out will eith make or mar the proposer. Plans are bei prepared and it it is possible that a cons: erable gum for the purpose will be includ d in the supplementary estimates."' Thu z is afforded an excellent oppertunt for e.m)iiering the propriety of recluel the nutther of members. Would it not better and more hal the interests of t e_ountdr for Mr. Tarte to exercise his i genuity in devieind a echeme to this end instead, of one to afford additional accommo- dation for the present representatives? Thie reduction could very easily be ma le without, destroying -in any way the preee t proportion of representation. The • Senate should leither be abolished or reconstruct/d and reduced. In this way more room could be made for time who are left. In addia 1 tion to ;this no interest - would suffer if the number of representatives in the Commens were rWucecl by a third, or even • a half. With these reductions no doubt the presilna buildings would still afford ample mon). Change3 such as we suggest would be vastly 1 more popular with the people than the ex- pendi;dre of two or three millionn of d l- iars ilfenlarging and improving the preeent bnildings, as is proposed. .e Editorial Notes and Comments. - It is stated that Hon. Thomas preen way, the leader of the Liberal party invzi Manitoba, intenda shortly to retire from politica. The Liberate will have difficulty in ,getting man to take his place. He has done splen- did service to his country and his pray and there is no man in. pOlities to -day who (le. -serves Letter at the heads of both. He c.en new well afford to reeire with cradle oe himself, although with loss to ,the prbvin,e he has so long and so faithfully served.' The development of electric railways n Canada luring the laet ten years has been phenom4ae1. Accordiug to a recent retain the elettric railway milage of Canada at the end f last year was 681 "miles, or 49 miles m re than in 1899. A total of. 118,- l29.826 aeseogere was carriecl. by the 35 electric ailWaye in the Dominion in 1900, being a Mereave of 14,097,203. This is egeivalent to 21. -tripe for every man, woman and child. The capital invested in elec- tric lineon December 3i4st, 1900, was $20,. 02'2,000, and the bondeddebt wae $12,619,• 422. The total receipts for the year • were $5,922,5 0 and the expenses $3,268,1)011. This ie lot of money to be contributed iz half dime pieces. In poi ting out the ,various eo-called act of maim ministration on the part of Hon Mr. Roe , the Toronto Mail !mare ; " Th recent a, ti -Liberal proposition to ext -en the terns of the Legislature beyond the dat for whic 1 it was elected, and thus to 'kee the Govirmeent in :without the consent of the peo le, goes far to oonfirrn the opinion that Mr. lases is Liberal in theory only." If Mr. ose never does anything more anti - Liberal than this, the Liberals will not complai very loudly, nor will they bo dis- posed to find fault with his administration. This was one of the most sensible acts of the recent et ssion. The A ontreal Witnees, which usually takes a s risible view of moat nubile ques- tions, co ies out strongly against the pro- posed in rease in the indemnity of niembers of the D minion Parliament and the Sen- ate. It oints out the fact that each mem- ber knew what the indemnity was when he sought e ection and accepted the position, and that t would be a breech of faith with the peopl were he now to use the position in which is constituents placed him to in- crease hi pay. There in it good deal in thie and befo sa. the indemnity is inereased the matter ehould be placed before the people, and if the are willing to pay more, good and well, nd if not it would be Wrong to force ther to pay more than they think they have a right to do. Besides this, as the Wien as points out, each member does receive a eum considerably larger than beer it with as much tquanimity as possible. $1,000 a year. Torthie ainount is to be ad- F As shown by the Chancellor, the revenue ded the mlage allowande to each member, t for the past year was $651,925,000, and the as all bray -1 on a free pass and consequently_ •A THE HURON EXPOSITOR the milage they receive is really so much addition to the sessiona indemnity. Be- sides this, an antival pars on the railways in Canada is worth very uoh more to many members, who need to t avel much in con- nection with their priv te business, than their milage allowance. So that on the whole the Witness conoln es that our mem- bers of -Parliament are ery fairly, if not liberally, remunerated f r their services. This, we venture to ray, a also the opinion of four fifths of the elect() a. — The city council of Tor nto, by a vote of 12 to 10, have refused to • ake a grant of $500 er any other amo tit to the horse show being held in that c ty this week. The province gives a very liberal grant to this show, and hereafter this grant should be made conditional on its b ing liberally sup- plemented by the oity. f the show serves any goGd purpose it is tie tainly of as great advantnge to Toronto as o any other part of the province. If To onto received 130 greater benefit from the' how than the ex. cellent opportunity it gi es the ladies of that city to dieplay thei spring millinery the city council should deal more liberally with it. Besides this, a 1 the visitors to the show must live in the city for two or three days and most of them are liberal spenders, and we ventur to say that three- fourths of the premiums • ill go to Toronto people. - Great men as well as m tensions, usually have th principal difference, how big fellows are usually ab hobbies, whereas the li rarely are.

P., from Lon- don; has sent his resignation to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. His reason for thie is Reid to be because of the action taken by the Government regarding the issuing of licensee for net fi shingin the Thames, eepec- ially in reference to that art of the river below Cashmere dam. T ie Colonel claims that he had secured a considerable reduction in the number of thesse 'licenses, but that afterwards a number of new -ones had been issued by the Government. The Premier says that Colonel Lep; entirely misunder- stands the action - of thei Government, and he hopeo that -when ho gets a proper appre- ciation of the situation he will recall his resignation. The Colonel seems to be an eratic sort of an individhal who, when he can's, get things just to stit him and entice others: to see through his ,spectacies, flies off at a tangent and makes a row. He is fan- puleive and seems to have an exhorbitant appreciation of his own importance. He is mid, -however, to be a stnong man in Lon- don, and he certainly has pluck, whether it is exercised in the right direction or not. • , Huron Notes. -The sum of $127,66 Was collected last year by the Brussels Bible Society. . -The Oddfellows of Goderich , paid out, during 1900 $885.30 for sick andther bene - 13 fite to members and their relative . -George Day fell fronnthe loft of Beattier Brothers' livery :barn, in Wingham, the other day, and broke one Of his aims -Mr. Gavin Davidson, of Wingham, has eet the big egg competition going this year -with it Plymouth Rock egg that meas- ures SA by 61 inches. . -According to the asseesor's returns, the population of Wingham is 2,192, an in- crease of 9 over last year.
