—The strike at Winnipeg cost, we
are told, over $3,000,000. It is perfect-
ly evident what in the end must be
the fate of an industry Handicapped
by such losses,
—The Tentiskaining Railway Com-
mission will spend a quarter of o. mill-
ion in building branches from Engle-
hart to Long Lake, from Cobalt to
Kerr Lake mining region, and from
the main line to the wharf at Halley -
bury.

--The total value of Canada's export
for the year ending June Last was
about two hundred and thirty-five and
one-half million dollars. Of this total
one hundred and twenty and ane -half
millions, considerably aver half, was
made up of produce of the farm. It is
on agriculture that the whole super-
structure rests.

---Right-thinking men of both politi-
cal parties will endorse the following
from that excellent independent paper,
the Weekly Sun :--"There ought to
be a public opinion strong enough to
prevent even the re -nomination of a
man who secures an election by such
open corruption as was practiced on
behalf of Mr. Hyman, or of a group of
men who were enabled, by the grace
of twa railway magnates, who are
always looking to Parliament for con-
cessions at the public expense, to
scoop in $200,000 they did not turn a
hand to earn."

—That Saskatchewan has no elec-
tion Iaw, and that therefore the elec-
tion of members to the first Provin-
cial Parliament was irregular, was the
substance of an alternative argument
advanced by Hon. F. W, G. Haultain
in the Prince Albert election case.
Mr. Haultain contended that if the
decision of Judge Prendergast, to the
eflect that the Controverted Elections
Act was not re-enacted into the laws
of the province, was sustained, then
the court • must also hold that there
had been no re-enactment of the elec-
tion ordinance itself. This would
mean a new election for the province.
Mr. Haultain pointed out to the court
that if the contention of Liberals was
true, that there was no Controverted
Elections Act in force, there was ab-
solutely no protection for the public
against frauds and corruption hi con-
nection with the exercise of the fran-
chise. Comments from the bench
seemed to indicate that the conten-
tion of Mr. Haultain was carrying
weight. Judgment was reserved.

—The receipts in the Ontario Pro-
'cineial Secretary's office for 1906 bid
fair to come close to the million -dollar
nark. A fair estimate will show an
increase of about V.a0,000, which, add-
ed to the $610,000 odd received last
year, brings the total up to $920,000.
The increase in license fees will ac-
count for $125,000 of the increase, and
the eharging of patients' fees to the
munieipaiities in the eases of indigent
lunatic aeylum inmates will Also ac-
count for a large stem. The muniei-
parities are able to meet these pay-
ments without inconvenience, because
of their share of the increased railway
taxation. The systematic mariner in
witch the fees of pay patients are
rune eollected is also responsible for a
considerable increase. The Provincial
Secretary's department proper~ has re-
, eeipts to Oct. I of $133,012, while the
total for the whore of feat year was
only $131,01: . There is already, there-
fore, to increase of $1, in the de-
partment itself. The increase in the
departmeat for the year is therefore
estimated at abO`rt tt35,00O. Last year
the receipts shozred an increase of
about $0,000 over the previous :rear.
' The other large receipts in the depart-
ment conte from the licenses, public
institutions, Central Pr110 a indurtries
and miscellaneous soutees.

---Prof. Goldwin Smith thus reviews
the eitu*tion in Ru„lit2:-..-"it appears
that in Ilneela the Government is like-
ly to weather the stein. The army
tetras in the rtiairt to ingrain faithful,
I cnnArnted itlu ciosbt ie its loyalty by
hattir0i1124 isellf wrrs tom. *at
which it takes a terrible revenge.
The greatest danger remaining is, per-
haps, that of famine in the rural dia.
t2 irts, where the anarchists, for the
purposes of their civil game, bare
recklessly stirred the peasantry not
only to revolt but to devastation.
The Government, it is to be Hoped,
Will now more on the line of practical
and constitutional reform, frankly
opening that great safety -valve, the
freedom of the press, There would
be danger in reassembling the Damn
on the same footing as before. It
would almost certainly again, like its
counterpart in the Drench Revolution,
instead of co-operating with the Gov-
erunient, try to seize into its own
hands supreme power, for the exercise
of which it is disqualified by want of
experience and education, as well as
by revolutionary passion. A grand
council of leading mere from different
parts of the Empire, selected on broad
principles and deliberating in public,
,
might be better fitted to launch the
new system. Anarchist outrage un-
fortunately can hardly have failed to
increase the accursed influence of the
Grand Dukes and the party of stolid
reaction.
WHAT THE VERDICTS MEAN.
(Guelph Herald.}
It is idle to contend that the results
in East Elgin and North Renfrew do
not indicate a strong tide of public
sentiment setting in against the Lau-
rier Government. Bye -elections iu
this country usually go with the party
in power. Towards a. Government
sustained at a general election a feel-
ing of absolute indifference charater-
izes the attitude of a great many peo-
ple when a contest takes place in an
isolated constituency. The fact that
the result cannot possibly change the
administration is in a large measure
responsible for this condition of af-
fairs. The frequency of our general
elections, Provincial and Federal, and
the desire fora respite from political
turmoil also conduce to this public
apathy. The verdicts of East Elgin
and North Renfrew therefore possess
peculiar significance. They clearly
show that the people are awakeniug
to the fact that the Laurier Govern-
ment is pursuing a policy of "Power
at any Price." Long since, these gen-
tlemen abandoned every pretense of
carrying out their pledges. Now they
stand convicted of resorting to every
device known to the • political heeler
and election crook. For a time these
methods succeed. But the day of
reckoning surely dawns. The public
conscience becomes stirred, partizan-
ship no longer is accepted as a substi-
tute for patriotism and the demand
for clean Government becomes more
impressive than the appeal to party
loyalty. Thus we see all the outward
signs that betokened the doom of the
Ross Government now revealing
themselves at Ottawa,
THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILL.
(Weekly Sun.)
The evidence already, given in this
London election case shows that in-
dividual voters were bought in the
Hyman interest at from $5 to $10
each. With payments on so liberal a
basis, and in view of the testimony
pointing to so many purchases of
venal voters having been made, one
can readily believe the statement that
as much as a thousand dollars was
spent in asingle polling division. Un
less the bribery practised was confined
to one or two divisions, and we have
no reason to believe it was, the total !,
cost of electing the successful candi-
date niay easily have reached twenty j
or thirty thousand dollars. This was
to bye -election, it was important to
the Government to secure the return
of one of its members, and money !.
doubtless flowed much more freely
than it would in an ordinary contest,
No one can doubt, however, in the'.
light of recent revelations in rhe';.
courts, that enormous sums are spent
in bribery in connection with the
election of many members of Parlia-
ment. Where does the money conte
front 1 Candidates probably put up
some of it, but the bulk of the corrup-
tion fund is undoubtedly provided by
men who obtain franchises, subsidies,
and profitable contracts from the
Government; and it is safe to say
that for every dollar these men put up
they obtain at least two from the
public treasury, that they do not earn.
Thus the people are taxed, not only
for the funds that buy purchaseable
voters, but they provide as well the
money that goes to the enrichment of
the men who furnish the eorruptionist
fund.

POSTMASTERS* CONVENTION.
A convention of Huron toturty post -
:natters assembled in the Town Mall,
Clinton, an Tuesday, Oct. $. Whilst
the meeting was not largely attended,
the disctiasions were profitable, the
interest well sustained and nlany
items of business disposed of, Mr. D.
B. McKinnon of Myth occupied the
chair, and Mr. W. T. England of Cre-
diton East acted as Secretary. After,
full diecneeion and it being conceded
that the beet system of olganizatioa
would be the formation of touhty as-
sociations, with representatives from
these to attend the provincial meet-
Ings, it was ,decided to proceedto or-
gairise under the narne of the "County
of Huron Postmasters` Association."
The following °Mees were elected:
President, D. 13. McKinnon, Myth;
Vies -President, P. nation, Otrattella t
Sec. -Treys„ W. T. Eugland, Crediton
East; Executive committee, T. Far.
row, Ertii;sels, P. Fisher, 1Vinglutiu,
T+, Christie, Exeter, and P. D. Slither -
laud, Seafortb.
It was decided that the payment of
the membership fee of the Provincial
Assoeiatiou should entitle to member-
ship in. the C oiruty Association, it be-
ing expected that a small percentage
of these fees should go to the county
treasurer to meet necessary local ex-
penses. The president and Dir. 0,
Sproat were named as delegates to
the next meeting of the Provincial
Assoeiation. 11Ir. H, E. Proctor of
Aurora, secretary of the Provincial
Association, was present and gave an
instinctive address, malting special
reference to the advantages of organi-
zation and discussing the present
prospects of the postmasters and the
possibilities of improvement by intelli-
gent co-operation. The following
resolution was unanimously adopted :
"That we, tate members of Huron
County Postmasters' Association, de-
sire to express our admiration of and
confidence in Iitr. Ira Stratton in his
advocacy of our cause and heartily
commend the "Postal Current" to all
postmasters and undertake to use all
our inlluenee to increase its circula-
tion." It was resolved that the next
meeting be held at Cliuton some titue
in January.
