This will enable,. Mr. Whitney tiii add s.nother menthe'. to his Cabinet or to promote one of those wile are new without f portfolio. The late Government had promised if abstain- ed toeetablish this department. In view of • the rapid development ot our mining indaetries it is reqeirecl. It is also promised that the num- bered ballot will be done asvay with. This seems to be very warmly wel- comed by the Conservatives if we are to judge by notes of rejeicing icentaireed in the remarks of themov- er and seconder of the Address, But it is ncit a reform of very vital im- pertance. The, numbered ballot, al- though strongly condenanecl by some was net a trouble to any person and under existing circumstances,. if it -will please any person to have it done away with there is no reason why it should be continued. The ob- ject of the numbered ballot in the first piece was to facilitatea; scru- tiny of the ballots in case of the bal- lots having been tampered with, so that a person who had been proper- ly elected would be enabled to se - 'cure his seat. But the operation of a scrutiny was on trial found, to be so lengthy and Costly as la Make it impracticable. So thar no cause will suffer and it is possible, al- though doubtful, that some gond may result from the proposed change. A measure is .also promised to change the designations of theheadsof the Crowe Lands and .Pu.blic Works departments froni Commis- sioners to Minister. This is a very _harmless measure surely and it might be interesting to know whose massive intellect evolved the, great inovation and caused it to be hon- ored by mention in flee Lientenant- Governor's iepeech. These are, really, about)ell the measures promised in the address,but others :are hinted at such as that for the taxation of railway eorpora- tions and the amendments to the Shoot law, but the nature of these have snot been announced as yet. But it would hardly be fair to expect much -from an administratiou not yet two months old. A year from now the public will not be so indulgent in the event of a barren sessional programme, A good deal its expect- ed nlong mealy lines. We hope, how- ever, that even this session the. Fi- nance Minister will -be able to an- nounce that he ha e diseovered the surplue. If be is able to do this he with tio doubt, rejoice the hearts of many of his supporter. A good deal is being made of the proposed extension of the bounder - lee of the Province to Unison Bay. Of Course it will be the duty of the Government to look after the inter- ests of the Province in this respect, but so far they 'cannot claim credit for haitine: initiated any new polkY in this direction. When the eorres- pondence is produced we fancy it will be found that the late Premier was the instigator of this movement and it 'was indonced by Sir Wilteld Kaur- ly assured that when the division bell rings the .pin will marry by a large majority. After `the second reading is carried, then it will have to be .considered clause by clause in Committee .of the Whole and after that ;receive its third reading before Lt is finally disposed of. The division on ;the Seecmd reading, however, is the (crucial test, the principles of the bill being then, approved of. The Government supporters will be near- ly solid for the bill and the Opposie tion will be divided. Hen. Mr. Bor- den, the leader- of the Opposition, while gently approving of separate schools and commending the Roman Catholics for their zeal .and consis- tency in their desire to have relig- ious instruction imparted to their ehildren in connection with _secular lore, 1.tlisapproves of Dominion inter- ference and declares the new Pro- vinces !should be left to their own Legislatures to solve their educa- tional difficulties in their conn way and Made an amendment to, that ef- fect- Mr. 'Monk, on the other hand, the Tenservative leader from Que- bec entirely disagrees with Mr.Bor- den. He strongly supports the edu- cational clauses and maintains that the Dominion Parliament is bund by the 'Constitution to, aeoure to the minolity in the new Provinces a cen- tinuanoe of the educational system in existance at the time of their en- trance into the DinoiniOn. But he is opposed to the Dominion retaining :control of the public land e as he thinks they should be handed over to the Provinces. Probably the most notable ispeeele delivetted and. the one which !attracted most attention beth in the House and in the 'country was that by Hon. Mr. Sifton, lateMinis- ter of the Interior. It was, mertain- • ly, h most able deliveranoe and gave to the people a more olear under- standing of the situation than they before had. Mr. Sifton, it will be remembered, resigned frdm the Gov- ernment because himself and Sir Wilfrid Laurier :could; not agree on the wording - of the Edueational -clauses of the bill, But after 4 Com- promise 'Was reisched and an amend - meta was drawn up which seemed to satisfy (Mr. Silken and his friends, arid was es* temptable to ,the Govern- ment. Mr. Siftbn in opposed to the' separate noltool system in any form, but*In view WOK, tact that separate sehools already exist in the Territor- lee and, so as to have the matter fin- ally settle,d and further agitation and turmoil avoided, he agrees to the modified form at present existing being tiocured through this law and will, tvecording, accept and vote for the 'Government bill as it has been amended. The burden of Mr. BMWs sPeech was, however, to ,show the difference between the educational Clauses 'of the bill as they, were in- trouced by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the amended clauses as they now ex- ist. The,•former he ,contended would continue and perpetuate the system of 4 ehools authorized by the law of 1875 passed by the -Dominion, while the amended ;clauses simply enact the =modified form at preeent in ex- istanee rand which was enacted by the touncil of the Territories and con- sequeritly .sanctioned by the ,people through their representatives. This, .therefore, being Mr. Sifton's opinion - he is quite justified in the ;course ,he has taken and is consistent in oppos- ing the bill as it formerly -was and supporting' it as it. now is. But it is the opinion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and many others, that the difference whiph sa,ppears to Mr. Sifton doesnot exist, but that the same result would have been refuelled by the original resolutions as by the amended ones. Buteetsthey are now both satisfied none twill complain except the irre- nonsilables evho think the Provinces should be left a free hand irrespec- tive of the requirements of the Con- stitution and -the rights of the min- ority. TftE plaseed upon *he statute book of the Territeries. So that on that point there is a wide differenee between the eondition of affairs in respect to Manitoba and the eondition of ate fairs in reaped tn the Northwest Territories. Editorial Notes and Comments. The Toronto Globe says: "Mr. Sifton's tipeesh made certain beyond cavil that *be amendment clauses safeguard. absolutely against any taint of ecclesiastical dontrol or de- nominational endowment." That is quite true, but the original ,clauses, as introduced iby Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier, did ipreeisely the same thing on- ly in different words. Hon servit Mr. St. John; the first ton- ve Speaker of the Ontario Legisleture has introdueed A new inovation. A report, says: "Tile prayers were trepeated by the Speak- er from memory, end not read, as has been usual." This may seem someWhat surprising Considerbag the fact that Mr. Speaker is a lawyer; but, then, we believe het is a Meth- odist, which May account for this pe- culiar aptitude in the particular line named. , • .1•••••••116 AM. 11/1.r. T. H. Prestoa, M. P. P., for South Brant, has given notices in the • Legislature of lam amendment he pro- poses to make to the -municipal act, reducing the property qualifications of 'Mayors in-mities and town from $1,000 to $500 for freehold, and from $2,000 to $1,000 for, leasehold. This is going in the wrong direetion. The qualification is now low enough, and might be Increased with beneficial= results in many instances. Where revenue is raised by direct taxation as it is under the municipal act,those who administer it should have at least a. reasonable stake in the mu- nicipality. . At a Lord's Day Alliance meeting in lrfontheal last week Mr. Ralph Smith, whd represents British Colutabia 'constituency in the Do- minion Parliament, and is a labor -representative, in the 'course of an address, said. that "the greatest friend of industrial -labor was the Lord's- Day." 4 Certainly it is lone of the greatest boons the workingmen enjoy; that is, those of than who still enjoy 'it; .because there are thousands of Workingmen in Canadaa, who have !already lost it. And ifthe railway and other immense 'corpora- tions that are becoming so powerful in this country are not very closely looked after " the one day in seven." will soon cease to be a day of rest in so ter as they are concerned. Mr. F. G. Maediarmid of West El - Quite Different It is sometimes said that the Lib- eral party are acting inconsistently in providing in the Northwest Au- tonomy Act now before Parliament for the continuance of the separate school system in the new Provin- ces whereasa few years ago they opposed the forcing of a similar sys- tem upon the Province of Manitoba. But there is no inconsistency because there is no similarity between the two sitautions. This twas brought out very plainly by Mr. Fielding in his speech in Parliament the ether day. He said: We are niet with the statement that the position of the Liberal party in that respect is different to- day from the position which it held in the ease of Manitoba. We have heard that from the leader of the Opposition. I think it will have to be admitted, after a eareful eX0111- inn tion of -the situation, that con- ditions in respect to the Northwest Territories are widely and entirely different from the conditions that existed in 'connection with the pro- posed' legislation dor the Province of Manitoba. It was !proposed, by the remedial bill 'of 1896 to override an act of the Legislature of Manitoba, passed with the yoke of the people of thattProvince, and, as subsequent- ly was !maintained, entirely within the legislative 'authority of that Pro- vince. We do not propose to over- ride any art of any Legislature.. What we propose to -day is to con- firm and loontinue for all future time a measure which tile free voice et the Northwest Legislature has gin promises 'to introduce into the Legislature a bill for the relief of municipalities from civil liability in cases of accident on highways which occur from lack of repairs. The bill leaves them still ;criminally liable. The effeet 'would be to rid the municipalities from harassing no- tions for damages from trivial muses in which law costs become the most important featore. ,Mr. IMakdiairraid is dealing with a Very delicate ques- tion. If he could distinguieh in bis bill between trivial actions and ao- tione that are not triviall'there might be some moose in his proposi- tion. But it would be an outrage to entirely tree niunicipalitien from civil liability, no matter how culpa- ble or Oarelens they may be and re- gardless of the extent of the loss or the seriousness of the injury SUS- tained Trile Its proposed to leave munielpalitien NUN criminally liable, But it would be mighty slim satie- faction to e person who bad a val- uable horse injured or killed, for 10- -stance, through nedefeative culvert or bridge to have the privilege of bringing a criminal action against the municipality. Municipalities, like 'other corporations lieve no flouts „ to be doomed nor bodies, to be burn- ed and the only way punishment eari reach them is through the money chest. POSITOR leagues. This is isoniething that ev- en a gentleman le Mr. Sifton's abil- F ities Ulla illflfallill SS would do well to bear in mind. Indeed, the exper- ience thattarrifton has already had of the Peemier's lobaranteristics in this respect will, no doubt, be of service to tim irii the event of his again entering the Cabinet. A meeting Of al. the western mem- bers wase held inl Ottawa on Satur- day and they un nimously passed a resolution asking Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier to invite Mr. Sifton to -reenter the Cabinet. A deputation was ap- pointed to present the resolution to the Premier. Mr. Sifton is, -certain- ly, an exceptionally able man and his permanent withdrawal from the Cabinet Would be a loss to the Gov- ernment :and lic party. Ills col- leagues from the west are proud of him. and this ep ech on the sclhool question has str ngthened thei re- spect for and achiratioll of hi ..Of eourse, Sir Wilfrid did not co mit himself, but it peed not surprise any pee -son if, after. the Autonomy bill is passed, Mr. Sifton resumes his old position. - Grand Be9d.

The fire originatedin the eat!) and must have been sm.o ldering for some time before it brok out. Another good man and prominent Canadian politician has been remov- ed f roin this' life in the very prime of his :manhood. Mr. Andrew Ms- campbell, ex -M. P. P., and -organiz- er for the Conservative party in On- tario, died at his residence in To- ronto on Saturday last. Mr. Mis- camp'bell was 67 years of ege and was a native of Simcoe county. He represented East Simeoe in the On- tario Legislature for several terms and at the election in 1902 was elect- ed for Sault Ste. Marientbut, was afterwards unseated; He 'again con- tested that loonstituency at the bye - el tion and 'was defeated by the pre - se member, Mr. C. N. Smith. Mr. Miscampbell was for several years extensively engaged in the lumber- ing business and for a time studied for the (ministry- in Knox College, Toronto, but ne-ver completed his course. Previous to 'the last gener- al election, at the solicitation ofhis political leader be accepted thie po- sition of Conservative organizer for Ontario and it ,was under his direc- tion in this capacity that the great victory,of last .3-anuary was achieved. Soon after the, election he became in and has been 'confined to his resi- dence ever since. He was one of the ablest and best informed men in the Ontario Conservative. ranks; was .a close friend tend trusted adviser of the present Ontario Premier and but for the. state of his health wreuld al- most .certainly have been a member of the present Cabinet. He leaves a widow but no family. Clever as Mr. Sifton is and useful as he may be to the Reform party, should he ;resume his former posi- tion in the Dominion Cabinet, he will be wise not to let the idea get pos- session of his mind that he is "the whole show" and try to nun things accordingly. If he does he will most assuredly share the fate of Messrs. Tarte and !Blain He will, like them, get a fall :that will hurt tip. He will sink from eminence to nothing- ness in e surprisingly short time: He will Noon discover that Mr. Sifton as a member of the Dominion Gov- ernment and the heed of a great spending department. is quite a dif- ferent individual in public estima- tion from Mr. Sifton as a private member of Parliament and an every, day citizen. Sir :Wilfrid Laurier is, no doubt, ns he is so often tsaid to be a man of sunny ways.' But he has 'also given evidence that Ire uoderstands his position ; that he will not nerrait the usurpation of au- thority by fa subordinate that right- fully belongs to himself and that in 'ordinary parlance be will not stand any feeling on the part of his col. • Notes. -Mr. end son of , last Week to the west.
