SEAPORTII, FRIDAY, Dee 4, 1906.
. Ther Donainlon Parliament.
As we predicted the Dominion Par-
liament took a breathing spell after
he delivery of the Budget Speebh
and the eubmission of the new atte
iff, to permit members to thorough-
ly digest the somewhat batty mental
food supplied them by the Finance
Minister. Consequently the discus-
eion of the tariff changes proposed
tee ecarcely been rightly started thus
far. It is expected, however, that
membere vtill soon be in trim to
deal with this important question. It
is not likely, however, that any im-
portant changes will be made. The
matter has been thoroughly consid-
ered by the Government and they
will likely ;Stand by their guns, as
they know that if they make an op-
ening to accommodate one interest
they may have to Make rnteheopenin,gs
for others which feel that they have
been as heavily struck as their favor-
ed neighbor. In the mean time the
-Government are makinh 400d pro-
gress vrith other legislation. The
Minter of Agriculture has had what
should be a very usefill measure as-
sented to by Par/lament. His iIan
l� to appropriate $100,001) to encourl
age the starting of new codl storage
plants. When a man. has construct-
ed each a plant, and it has been ap-
proved, he will get ten per cent. of
ita -cost down' and, probably, five
per centa year for the four elle-
ceeding years, thus tiding over the
early and difficult yeare. The par-
ticulter features qf the plan are that
the Government let to have full power
to decide what plants to help ; that
existing plants are not to be helped;
that unfair competition with existing
plante is not contemplated; that the
Government reserves liberty to decide
as to what will eonstitute unfair com-
petition; that rates and temperatures
!will be oubJect to Government super-
vision.

e Cardiff,
chased by
' Mr. W.. F. McLean 'has- at the first
reading for hie bill providing that
Weeping ear rates on (railways and
express carrying rates - shall collie -
under the direction- of the railway
Commission and also providing for a
wo cent per mile passenger rate on
all railways. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
gave his assent to that part of the
bill relating tor sleeping ear fares and
express company charges, so that
these proposed changes will, un-
doubtedly be made. But the two cent
a mile passenger rete was sent to
the Railway Committee for consider-
ation and it will most likely meet
with death and destruction there. It
would eseern. to be the opinion 6f a
majority of members on both sides
of the Howie the time for a two 'cent
passenger rate has not yet tome. All
dmit thatit might do on the trunk
,lines where the traffic is heavy but
on side lines where there is light
traffic it le said it would subject
the railway coMpanies to sech loss
as would force them to deteriorate
or decrease the accommodation now
given and that is not degra.ble. It
will come however, in time. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier has, also, spoiled the
thunder of some of .his opponents by
promptly declaring 'himself in favor
of municipal ownership and control
ef the distribution of electoral en-
ergy developed or distributed in Can-
ada and also that in case a water

cumetances retain the power to fix.

Editorial Notns and. Comments.
It now seems ;:o be taken for grant-
ed that Hon. G. W. Ross will be ap-
pointed to onElOf the Ontario vacan-
cies in the Dominion Senate and be-
fore
thie reaches the eye of the read-
er it is quite possible the appoint-
ment will have been offIcia•Ily made.
This will leave a vacancy in the Lib-
eral leadership in th.e Ontario Leg -
feature. The Liberals wili be in ag-
reed a flight as the Conservatives
were when Mr. Meredith abandoned
the leaderehip of the party to take`
a seat on the Bench. The only re-
presentative of the old guard who -
°mailed the front eetitte on the Lib-
teral side in the Legislature is Hon.
Mr. Harcourt, but he, although an
able man and privately a very nice
man, is not the material of Which
leaders kfre made, and he is too old
to improve in this respect. 'The eillY

$30,000 • and the town to give a
• bonue to the company of $19,000 for
20 'yeers, the sinking fund and the
interest to be paid back annually.
