fere wears ago, it was a rare tiring''
for the Senate to have to deal with
more than one application for di-
vorce in a. session, indeed there
have been less than two dozen di-
vorces granted by Parliament in 35
years ; but recently a perfect epi-
deulie seems to have broken out in
the matter of divorce, and no less
than ELEVEN ap lications for a
roverenee of the marital tie Have
been made this year.
The debate on the Address was
short but interesting, and the for-
mal motion that ‘An humble Ad-
dress be presented to His Excel-
lency in .reply to his gracious
Speech from the Throne," was car-
ried ; and immediately thereafter
the Hon. Mr. Fielding laid the
estimates for the fiscal year 1902-3
on the table. This was commend-
ably quick work, and shows that
the Government has been really
preparing for the session ; and the
result is that the Ilouse is comfor-
tably at work now voting the or-
dinary appropriations, the largest
portion of which are fixed by stat-
ute, As for the estimates them -
solves they are, as my friend the
Postmaster General would- express
it, "Greater than has been,"
amounting to no less a sum than
$53,361,638.00, as compared with
$50,398,823 last year, an increase
of $2,962,815, and it must be re-
membered that there are supple-
inentary estimates for 1901-2 And
1902-3 to be brought down. Last
year the supplementaries amount-
ed to over $9,000,000, and there is
every reason to believe that it will
not be surprising if the Government
asks for $75,000,000 before, the
close of the session.
—According to statistics com-
piled. by the Department of Rail-
ways, there were an J'.ule 30th
railways
u
'
i
last, 163 stearal 1 ysin actual
operation in Canada, including the
Iutercolonial and the Prince Ed-
ward Island Railway. At the
close of the fiscal year the number
of miles of completed railway was
18,291, an increase of 658 miles,
besides 2,710 miles of sidings.
The number of miles laid with steel
rails was 18,154, of which 634
miles was double track. The
number of miles in operation was
18,110. The paid up capital
amounted to $1,042,7S5,539, an in-
crease of $51,598,893. The gross
earnings amounted to $72,898,740,
an increase of $2,994,396, and the
working expenses aggregated $50,-
368,726, an increase of $2,987,037,
compared with those of the previous
year, leaving the net earnings $22,
530,023, a decrease of $29,642.
The number of passengers carried
was 18,385,722, au increase of
1,281,379, and the freight traffic
amounted to 36,999;371 tons, an
increase of 1,286,149 tons. The
total number of miles run by trains
was 53,319,394, an increase of
727,870. The accident returns
show sixteen passengers killed.
—The design of Hon. G W.
Ross in the introduction of the re-
ferendum appears to have been
to provide his prohibition friends
with the healthful exercise of vot-
ing for the unattainable.

—The Weekly Sun ' remarks
thusly:—In speaking of Mr. Petty -
piece's motion for the second read-
ing of his bill, Mr. Ross said that
care must be taken lest the tax-
ation of railways should interfere
with their success. We hope that
Mr. Ross will be just as regardful
of the public interests, and that he
will see that no subsidies are grant-
ed this session that will mean the
taxation of the people for the bene-
fit of the railroads.

(Goderich Star.)
The Dominion estimates have
been brought down. The , total
amount to be voted is $47,845,038,
as against $44,102,323, or an in-
crease of $3,750,000 over last year.
Of this Clinton gets a second five
thousand for a new post office ;
Goderich harbor dredging $10,000,
and $15,000 for general repairs
and improvements to harbor, river
and bridge works. St. Joseph,
Lake Huron wharf, is given the
enormous, sum of $50,000. Last
year 5,000 was placed in the esti-
mates for this work, although St.
Joseph has no more need for a har-
bor than it has for angel's wings.
Reformers refused to endorse the
grant, and several local newspapers
notably the Brussels Post, protest-
ed against such wanton- waste of
the people's money. But it will
be remembered that Tim STAT.
made mention last year of a select
party from Quebec, including a
son of J. Israel Tarte, visiting this
section and St. Joseph. They
were dined and wined and had a
real big time. The promoters had
the votes of the people for forty
miles square, right up in the
sleeve! The result is a $50,000
grant. Such wanton extravagance
and wilful squandering of the
people's money cannot be condoned
and it will be the bounden duty of
the three members from Huron,
Messrs. Holmes, McDonald and
McEwan, to enter a vigorous pro-
test on the floor of parliament.
They know quite well that such a
grant cannot be endorsed before the
electors of the County of Huron.

—The investigation of the Lon-
don municipal election frauds
shows what a determined effort the
Liberal machine made to win the
electian for Parnell. A surplus
of 311 ballots, used and unused,
was found in the boxes. 10,500
ballots were given to the deputies,
but 10,811 ballots were found
the boxes. There were 163 more
marked ballots than the poll books
accounted for in voters. Ninety-
four forged
inety-fourforged ballots were unearthed.
The rascality was general. At
only one polling booth in the city
did the ballots in the box tally with
the poll book. The forgeries
found were invariably marked for
Parnell. North Waterloo, West
Elgin and West Huron rascalities
aro now being repeated by the
machine in our municipal politics.
The wonder is that the machine is
shielded and its work defended by
so many who consider themelves
respectable Liberals.

that Grit speakers who used to ful-
minate volleys of abuse at the Sen-
ate, and describe it as the home for
defeated candidates and political
hacks, have gladly accepted seats
in the "asylum for worn out and
defeated politicans." When Mc-
Mullen., Landerkin, et al, were ac-
customed to say nasty things about
the second Chamber, few thought
that those same men would so soon
be glad to take refuge among the
"worn out or defeated politicians."
They will never poke fun at the
Senate any more, and they are pro-
foundly grateful to the grim mon-
ster, Death, for his work in effect-
ing "Reform of the Senate." As
a matter of fact, that plank in the
Grit platform never meant any-
thing more than a change in the
political complexion of the Senate.

—Electors may well pause and
reflect for a hour on the extravagant
and yearly -increasing expenditure
by the Liberal Government of this
Dominion. With probable es-
timates nearing .175,000,000, and
at the same time large additions to
the debt of the Dominion, the sit-
uation should cause alarm and de-
mand for strict economy. Notwith-
standing a larger revenue than
ever, there has been not the slight-
est effort at a reduction of the debt,
but on the other hand, annual in-
crease by transference of expendi-
tures to capital account. To pay
the interest on the debt now will
be required $11,320,041, an in-

The . session does not give pro-
mise of being of any great length
or of more than ordinary impor-
tance. Still, as my good old friend
Archie Bremner used to say, "One
cannot always tell from where one
sits, what thing it is be least ex-
pects the most ;" and it is a cur-
ious fact in Parliamentary history
that the three longest sessions on
record—those of 1885, 1900 and
1891—were all' regarded, before
they were opened, as likely to be
"short and uneventful," yet the
first lasted 173 days, the second
168, and the third 155, so, it will
not be very surprising if "some-
thing" which we "least expect
most" turns up, and the session
drags out to midsummer. One
thini;, however, must be remem-
bered with duration of future '; es-
sions, and that is that last year the
sessional indemnity of bunators
and Members was permanently in-
creased to $1,500, the principal
argument in favor of the increase
being the greater length of the res
sions now compared with 20 years
ago when the indemnity
s fix dat
$1000. Indeed Sir Wilfred Laurier
said hi almost as many words,that it
would be useless to expect session's
in future to last less than four
