—The evil of "treating" is pretty
effectually dealt with in the bill which
Mr. McNaught has introduced into
the Legislature, and if it should be
passed and enforced, in the saute man -
nee as the Government is enforcing
the general license law, there will be
an end of what is admitted on all
hands to be one of the worst features
of the lignor traffic. The new act, if
passed, will go into effect in 1007.
**
—The new County Council Bill has
been introduced into the Legislature.
It provides that each municipality
shall have a representative in the
County Connell. It is also proposed
that the unit of representation shall
be 4,000 of population, and while there
would be an increase in the number of
councillors, it would not be great.
Udder the present system there are
510 councillors. This number will be
increased to 815. In towns the num-
ber of councillors would be increased,
**
—A special despatch to the Globe
says a representative of Edison is in
New Ontario, and offering to buy all
the cobalt in sight at 35c per Ib., the
material being required for a new
storage battery Edison is working on.
_ This is interesting as evidence of in-
creased prosperity for. Cobalt; it is
doubly interesting as containing a
half promise that Edison is at last
within sight of a practicable storage
battery. With a cheap and efficient
system of carrying electrical energy
in storage batteries, it would only be
a short time until electric power
would be applied to farm operations
in a large part of Ontario.

—Canada is credited by the Chicago
Record -Herald with leading the world
in the matter of wireless telegraph
development. The Canadian Marine
Department has in operation ten high-
power and three low-power Marconi
stations. These govern the entire
Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic
coast waters from Newfonndland to
the Bay of Fundy. The value of this
service was illustrated by the ease
with which communication was se -
clued and maintained with the British
battleship, Dominion, which brought
over from France to Canada recently
the body of M. Prefontaine, the late
Minister of Marine for Canada, who
died in Paris. The warship got in
touch with the Canadian wireless sys-
tem when 050 miles from Halifax, N.
S., and every detail of the ceremonial
at that port had been arranged by
exchanges of messages long before the
battleship entered Halifax harbor.
**
—The Christian Herald gives several
scenes from famine -stricken Japan.
Some of the people are living on
crushed leaves of burdock mixed with
a little rice flour. Even this gruesome
mixture, it may be added, is better
and more palatable than the frightful
compound of chopped straw and roots,
lime, and gobo tree leaves, which is
the only food in many a Japanese
peasant home. The soil of mountains
and valleys has been up -turned in the
search for roots, ferns and weeds, to
convert it:' food and appease the
gnawings of hunger. In some instan-
ces, desperate parents are'selling-their
children. A girl of nine was offered
as a. servant for $1, but the purchaser
could only pay thirty-six cents. The
actual state of the people, according
to credible witnesses, is far worse
than has been pictured. To aggravate
the misfortunes of the sufferers, the
intense cold and the deep snows that
cover the land snake it impossible for
them to get even routs of grass and
bark of trees and shrubs for food any
longer. They are sitnply facing star-
vatiatl day by day.

—A remarkable bill 11:1s baen intl'0-
duced in the Iowa Legislature by Dr.
R. R. Gtegory, one of the members.
ruder the provisions of this bill, if
adopted, any person over 10 years of
age, if suffering from a hopeless tnale-
dy, may request the physician attend-
ing to have his life brought to an end,
The physician to whoa. this request is
presented is to consult with two other
reputable physicians and the county
coroner. If these all agree that death
is unavoidable in any ease, and must
be accompanied with great pain, then
the neatest of kin of the patient must
be apprized, and if the latter agrees
to the proposal, the physicians and
coroner are to bring (about death by
the use of anaesthetics, Itt the rase
of an idiot, the nett of kill Mg' take
the initiative lo bunging about the
end. Penalties are provided for phy-
sicians who refuse to carry out the
law, while an abuse of the law w onld
be a capital offense. The member
who introdneed the measure says he
proposed simply to make legal a prac-
tice which is already carried on by the
greatest surgeons in the land, all large
hospitals being the scene of the re-
moval of the unfit almost daily.

ELECTORAL REFORM.
The Toronto News gives the follow-
ing from its Ottawa correspondent :—•
It really looks as if Parliament is
about to make a seriono effort to limit
electoral corruption, Mr. Borden
placed before the House, i11 what Mr.
Fitzpatrick called a complete and
Iearned statement, a series of sugges-
tions, the fruit of months of study.
Speaking for the Gaver'ninent, Mr.
Fitzpatrick in a most cordial speech
virtually accepted nearly all of the
suggestions of the leader of the Oppo-
sition. Mr. Fitzpatrick spoke amid a
ripple of applause from the Opposition
benches, in which the Ministet•ialists
--few of whorl were in the chamber—
scarcely joined. The subject is to be
referred to a small and strong com-
mittee, and Mr. Borden availed him-
self of a forth of the House to com-
mend Itis views and conclusions to
this body.
It is convenient to state concisely
the several proposals now before the
House, and their present status :-
1. Fixed dates for bye -elections.
Proposed by Mr, Barden ; approved
by Mr. Fitzpatrick.
2. Independent returning officers,
who are to have the unfettered ap-
pointment of deputy returning offi-
cers. Proposed by Me. Borden ; ap-
proved by Mr. Fitzpatrick.
3. 'Voters who do not exercise the
franchise to be deprived of it for a
period. Thrown out as a suggestion
by Mr. Borden ; rather favorably
viewed by Mr. Fitzpatrick.
4. Some features of the election
law, such as the clauses relating to
hiring conveyances, made more prac-
tical. Suggested by Mr. Borden ; ap-
proved by Mr. Fitzpatrick.
5, Much more stringent limitation
and investigation of election expendi-
tures and contributions. Proposed
by Mr. Borden ; not directly touched
upon by Mr, Fitzpatrick.
6. Appointment of an independent
official to initiate prosecutions for
electoral irregularities, thereby abol-
ishing the saw -off. Strongly advo-
cated by Mr. Borden; approved by
Mr. Fitzpatrick.
7, Election trials to be made simp-
ler and speedier. Proposed by Mr,
Borden ; not directly touched upon by
Mr. Fitzpatrick,
8. Prohibition of bribing by pro-
mises of public works. Proposed by
Mr. Borden ; not touched on by Mr.
Fitzpatrick.
0. Some reform in the preparation
of voters' lists. Strongly and signifi-
cantly urged by Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mr.
Borden not having said anything on
the subject.
10. Punishment of debauched con-
stituencies, either by saddling thein
with costs or by depriving them of
representation, suggested by Mr. Bor-
den, not touched on by Mr. Fitzpat-
rick,
FEEDERS AT THE TROUGH.
(Raymond's Record.)
The civil service list of Canada for
the year 1005 is before toe.
It contains the names of all persons
employed in 'the several departments
of the civil service, together with
those employed in the two Houses of
Parliament.
It goes into details.
It shows the date of the appoint-
ment, promotion to the present rank,
the age and salary in each case.
The Iist is large, the salaries big
enough to make every ordinary man
wish that he, too, was a barnacle on
the ship of State.
To comtnence with, there is the
Governor -General's secretary's office,
with Charles Jerome Jones, J. S. 0.,
B.A., chief clerk. at a salary of $2,500
a year, or about $50 a week. Mr.
Jones is aided in his strenuous life
amid the ink pots in this office by
William Henry Walker, B. A„ as a
first-class clerk at $1,900 per annum,
and Arthur Fench Sladen at $1,850.
Then there is Frederick Linwood Pe-
riera, who, although of a first-class
name, is but a second-class clerk, and
receives a bare $000 a year, or about
$18 per week. Thomas Rogers acts
as orderly in this department, dusts
the chairs up a bit, says "Yes, Sir,"
"No, Sir," salutes, bobs, bows at the
proper moment, opens and closes
doors, and all for a scant $700 a yenr,
Thus on the very first page of this
blue book the civil service list in the
Governor -General's secretary's offlee
runs up to $8,000 per year.
This is an unnecessary waste of
good Canadian coin, and it's your
hard-earned looney they are getting.
The Privy Council office ott the
next page revels in fancy figures, in
tt deputy head, chief clerks, first and
second-class clerks, With tivo private
secretaries and two messengers, The
salary of John 3, McGee, the deputy
head of this department, is $1,000, or
about $80 weekly, The total salaries
are 4,000 in this department.
Again, an unnecessary waste of
good Canadian coin, and again Ws
your hard-earned looney they are
getting.
And so Ott it goes, page after page
of it, page after page.
I stop at page 197, for here we 'enter
the sacred wallets of the mighty.
• Stiffs, the Senate, Being old, deere-
pi(l,
and slow Of fret, there are „many
messengers needed for this particular
branch, John Oarletou, as superin-
tenelellt of messengers, receives $1,800
a year and $100 for his house. Joseph
Ilereulet'egilde Pelletier leas the otil-
cial tithe of Wardrobe Keeper. In
- brief, he Inks to keep the moths out of
the clothes closets, and the flies off
- the Senators. For this be receives
- $800 a year or $10 a week.
Again, the waste of good Cttnacliatl
coin, and again it is your bard -earned
- money that they are getting,
The door -keeper in this House of
Canadian Lords, the Senators, also
receives $800, The total expenses of
those who wait alt the Senators in
their business, idle, or playful mo-
ments, per year, are $7,300, The as-
sistant house carpenter in this depart-
ment, who probably works harder
and longer hoot's than the Senate
and messengers combined, gets but $2
0 (lay, a very small sum 111 comparison
and is probably docked for time off.
The last pago of the bine book re-
lates to the Library of Parliament,
where Alfred Duclos DeCelles, L.L.D.,
F.R.S.C., is general librarian at $4,000
- per year, another $80 a week touch ;
while Martin John Griffin, L. L. D.,
likewise receives $4,000 for a minor
position.
This department costs, per year,
$23,000, and once more, permit me to
say, that it is 0111' good hard Canadian
coin that keeps these people sleek and
well groomed at Ottawa, and that
you are paying for it.
And so the book runs on, bristling
with fancy natncs and fat salaries.
There are many good men in the
civil service, but the majority of them
are there because they once did some-
thing for the party that put them
there, or their friends did, or their
friends' friends, or their friends'
friends' friends, or there friends'
friends' friends' friends.
They would fare very ill if they did
not feed at the public trough. They
would find it difficult to make a living
elsewhere.
And you pay for this state of affairs
and you are responsible.
