W. J. MITCHELL,
Editor and Proprietor
THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT.
Parliament adjourned on. Wednesday
night for the Easter. holidays.. -
The consideration of the ..public
works estimates brought front the. Pp -
position a stringent' criticism of the
government's extravagance. At Otte-.
wa the public buildings are overflow-
ing with civil servants and :private
property has been rented at -a• cost of
533,000 per annum.
• The government refused to give any
information in regard to trans -con-
tinental railway . lines,
The government'sneglect to provide
a satisfactory mail service from • the'.
mainland to Prince EdwardIsland
-
was very strongly cohclerrined by Mi.
Hughes, Liberal, and other speakers....
Mr. 'Smith's (Wentworth) bill- tei
amend fruit marks act was inttodue,
ed.
A protest frotn the Yukon miners
was read asking the government ,to
refrain front granting concessions t�
private individuals. If the prectiee
is continued it Will result in theruin
of the gold field.
A large deputation :of • labor Men
waited on the government and pro-
tested • against . the iMportation . of
alien labor. This evil has extended
to the Kingston Locomotive .Works
where engines are being 'befit for. the
IntercoloniaL The delegate's Were
coldly received.
, THE ECONOMICAL LIBERALS. '
• • . •
The economical ..Libetals expended,
about a quarter . of a million ,dollars
last year 011 the upkeep of the Do-
minion public buildings. The ceet
has beenincrea.sing very raCidly:.
since 1896. . The bad features Of the.
Ccmservative regime have all • been
retained by the present, administra-
tion aed new .ones adcled.. The treas-
ury, under the peatence that -our. fin-
ancial status permits almost any ex••
travagance, is calledupon to meet
endless bills which should never be
presented. On page V.' a20 of the
Auditor General's report will be *found
some items of great interest ' to - the
taxpayer. To pay carpenters and.
laborers on Parliament Hill required
Stio,536. The superintending staff -tee
ceivecl $8,22o. Then there is a so -call.::
ed mechanical staff that got • 'attra.y.
with $20,4t0. Other large itenirifor
furnishing building's, etc., bring . the
aggregate up to '5250,000. Luxury, is'
presenting itself on every .side and is.
received with open arms by'erstwhile.
economists, The farther, whose. 'farm
was once threatened by these large
expenditures, will .doubtless be pleased
to find that the prospects for doubting
the burden are becoming. brighter end
brighter.

ANOTHER IMPENDING nuncyr.
Hon. W. S. Fielding gave the Com -
irons a beautiful example of incon.
sistence in explaining the govern-
ments position in respteti to the
opening at Ottawa of a branch of the
Royal mint. When it was proposed to
est Amish a Ciiadian m int i mice en -
dent of the British itistitution Mr.
Yielding pointed out that the eoinieg
of money in this country would re.
stilt in large dereits. Ac-crding to
his stotement suelt 0 feint would be
elceen months out of the year un-
less cret4 l5 eo'bedf and th:s could
only be done at great los. Ur, Fiala.
1ftTeow barite his argunteet fit favor
of a branch of the royal mint on the .
elailit that gold SON' c.e'gns may ea
freely Mined. rt. Ion stiray be grati-
fying to Canadians to leapt that by
striking British coins they eon loSe
money. .A.t the' pr.:snit time we reap.
large profits by having per coin
eureence produced in England. When
the govermitent inaugurates its new
policy the simples. will give way to
large dsfieit. . This, :and this •-only Gan
follow, according to the .Alinister of
Fluauce's own view of the. case. The
scheme, however, is quite in. keeping
with Mr. Fielding's fixed policy, which
nos resulted in almost doubling our
expenditure, lit six years.
THE FAST ATLANTIC muunix.
The Atlantic Vast Line is ouce more
in the political arena.. The question
was almost settled in 1896 by Sir
Charles Tupper, who had arranged all
the details for a 2o knot service, equal
in all respects to the best afloat.
Shwa that time marine experts have
revolutionived the Atlantic passenger
hervice. Faster ships are being laun-
ched almost every year and the inten-
sity of • the fight for supremacy be-
tweenthe great ship owning nations
is increasing. Yet in 1903, over six
years after the Aliens had arranged
to furnish Canada with vessels of eo
knots, the Leerier government calls
for tenders for a service of two ves-
sels of 21knots and two of a7 knots,
or an average of 19 knots,
The govertunent evidently considers
that Canada is unable to support in
1903 what was fitting for her in 1896.
Either site has progressed or retro-
gressed. The Liberal party say she
has moved forward mightily. Our
trade has increased, our population is
developing at immense strides and our
Prestige as a nation is. acknowledged.
Iri the name of common sense why
then are we antedating our desire for
first class •steamphips ? If our people
are .so progressive surely an' unpro-
gressive spirit must exist in the
ranks of the Laurier administration.
The government can find money to
build publ:e works for members of
Parliament ; the Intercohinial has
carte blanehe in its raitts pm the pub,
lie treasury ; funds for useless high
commissions and European pienies are
easily' available ; but when it earnes
to an ocean service of which Canada
has need, and hi which Canadians
have pride, nineteen knots is consider-
ed fast enough. It is hardly credit-
able that the people are in sympathy
with any such proposal and we have
theexpert opinioa of steamship men,
that it is as ridicylous as it is behind,
the times. •

. Judge Street has given judgment for
$1b,000 damages in the ease of. Smart
Versus Dana, under •the followirtg
circumstances. •Smart was Sheriff of
Leeds and Grenville and Delia, who
wanted the lob, offered him $I,260 a
year if he would resign the fees of the
office then amounting to between. f2, -
00e and'153',ocio a .year. Smart .accept-
ed the offer . and resigned thc. office
and Dana was; appointed Sheriff by

fees began to fall off Sheriff Dana got

. SIR OLIVER 'MOWAT HURT,
General regret was expressed when
it became known that on Sunday ev-
ening .S•ir Oliver Mowat, the venerable.
atatesman :and Lieutenant-Governorof
this ptovince, had met With a serious
.aecident, the results of . which may
yet prove fatal.
The accident occurred about 9 oselo.
eh. in the evening and Was most pa -
&liar, While .being moved by attend.
ants from his invalid's their to his
bed la some manner his thigh' bone
was broken midway between the hip
and the knee. Dr. Primrose, who with
Dr. Temple, the family physician, and
Dr. Moir, house surgeon of the Hospi-
tal for $ick Children, reduced the frac.
titre, said . Monday that it was a.
clean 'break and that it had set nice-
ly.. Sir Oliver suffered great pain but
under the skilful treatment of. the pity-
sicians managed to spend a tompara-
tively eosyoright and had some sleep.
The fact that Sir Oliver's health for
some time has been poor and that lie
has reachdr such an advented • age,
makes the ultimate result of the acci-
dent a matter of grave doubt.
Sir Oliver \IVIOWat had a refreslihig

remarks. the Sportsman' cotiChidee :
'There is a ring. of •expioiters ie. title'

MIMIC OWNERSHIP. .
Grand . Rapids has rejected private
ownership in its water service, light
service andtelephone service and ha.s
adopted a form of pitblie ownership
unique in Many respeCts, Says the
Municipal. World. The local telephone
deavice, while not under muirieipal
ownership, .is under a plan of public
co-ciperatee ownership, wliielt is Unique
Tire plan'. Obtaius .itt only Iwo other
cities in the Malted 'State:: and the
saving remitting to the people .frobi
the system is calculated .itt $7,000.
The plait of lighting • service grew out
of' it and is similar to the plan of •the
telephone service. The rates, Without
making allowatice for dividends, are
forty-five per cent. less thaw the rates
charged lis' neighboring cities for shit-
ilar service. The .saving resulting
from the syitein hicalculated at $5,-
0oo annually, its compared with what
would be paid if the rates in neigh.,
boring cite s were. charged. The tele-
phone and , light service plants thus
make for the city an *tumid saving of
