There is in India a Hue of them; they are 30 feet long, 14 in, in diameter at the bottom, and six inches at the top, square and straight, After a year's test they are pronounc- ed a success, —In the past there have been corn - plaints that examination, papers have been unfair to the students of our schools. The reason has been perhaps that those who prepared the questions were not in actual touch with the work, It is said that the Education Department will make a change, and in future, teachers of the various branches of education will set the papers for their respective, branches, and thus secure examination papers bearing on the work covered by the curriculum of studies. This should be a decided improvement, and a far more satisfactory test of preparation. If 88 50 00 80 11 0600 00fi© 0600 NBC BUG Head Office, Hamilton. One public function of a chartered bank is to furnish a safe and con- venient place - of deposit for the surplus cash of the people - . . . • THE establishment of branches of a bank in each small centre of population, is to meet the convenience of the local citi- zens, and afford them, both a "clearing house" for business tran- sactions and a satisfactory custodian of savings. Every local branch of a Chartered Bank has the full finan.. cial strength of the Head Office. The Capital and Reserve of THE BANK OF HAMIL- TON amount to Five Million Dollars ; Total Assets are over Thirty Million Dollars. All this stands as security for every dol- lar deposited for safekeeping in the local branch of the Bank, The point is, that the Chartered Bank is the natural place to keep your money, and safe, sure and convenient. THE BANK OF HAMILTON specially invites the Sav- ings Accounts of both then and women, and has thoroughly sim- plified the routine of depositing and withdrawing either large or small sums, whenever desired. BAN C. P. SMITH, Agent y - Wingham obarged with obstruction. The party resisted the attempt of the govern- anent to select two Conservative pro- vinces and part of another for Federal control of electoral franchise end reg- istration, This was such a ecanclulous discrimination, and suer an impudent attempt to steal an unconstitutional advantage, that opposition members were bound to fight it by every poses. hie means. Their resistance was suc- cessful, except so far as the bill ap- plied to the unorganized districts of Ontario, The justification is that in the provinces which were rescued from this conspiracy theca were rio frauds in registration or election, whereas in Algoma and Rainy River Federal interferenee was attended by critxiinal stuffing of lists, wholesale perjury and personation, fraudulent polls and, an organized, violation of law and, justice. Another obstruction was due to the failure of lilr. Brodeur to bring down the statement of his $70 a day expenses daring his summer tour in Europe, after he had solemnly promised that full information would be given before he asked for money. The opposition offered to go on with other estimates, but Mr. Brodeur, while withholding the promised infor- mation, iusisted on having his supply. He did not get it until he furnished the statement. A third case was when the government refused to pro- duce in the House the original papers respecting the Burrows' timber leases. The Premier admitted that the House had a right to this information, but Me. fielding advanced the tyrannical doctrine that the opposition had no right to any information except what the majority choose to furnish, In the end the government backed down, after wasting much time, and the in- formation so obtained had much to do with the defeat of brother-in-law Burrows and his Manitoba associates in the lato election, The disclosures also made it necessary for Sir Wilfrid to withdraw from the field, after he was nominated in Ottawa, Mr, A. W. Fraser, who fligured extensively in these original documents. —A delegation representing the Dominion Trades and Labor congress, waited upon the government last week, and presented a number of reso- utions from the congress. They in- cluded the following requests :—"For abolition of the $200 deposit of parlia- mentary candidates, and making elec- tion day a, holiday. The strict en- forcement of the fair wage schedule. Increase in salary of letter carriers. The exclusion of Chinamen, Hindoos and Asiatics. The appointment of a technical educational commission. Strong opposition to assisted immi- gration." The Premier promised con- sideration. —A sea voyage is not a pleasant trip for horses. Not long ago, the U. S. transport steamer, Victoria, was on her way to the Phillipines with a cargo of 410 horses and mules. She was forced by stress of weather off Cape Flattery to turn back from her voyage to the Phillipines. Of the 410 horses and mules carried by the Vic- toria, fifty-five were literally pounded to death against the sides of their staIIs in the storm, and many of the remaining animals are so badly bruis- ed that the officers of the vessel be- lieve they cannot be saved, The transport Siam, also bound for the Phillipines, lost 365 out of 875 mules on the voyage out, arriving with only ten left. • —It is now understood that amend- ments to the Truancy Act will form part of the programme of legislation for the coming session of the Ontario House. Chief among them will be an enactment providing for a more rigid enforcement of the law through the school boards, instead of through the local police authorities. There have been complaints that the truancy law was observed in only one-fifth of the schools of the province, and that .this was due to the division of powers. Now it is proposed to give the school boards the right to appoint officers to enforce the Act. It is asserted that some provision will be made to keep the boys who leave school at fourteen years .of age under the eYe of the school authorities. It is pointed out that lads allowed to leave school, and to remain idle, have been found in England to drift into crime, and ef- forts will be made to prevent this in Canada. —There are now 11,823 post offices in Canada, and last year mail (natter was despatched from these as follows : 300,011,000 40,664,000 9 078,000 13,207,000 Letters Postcards Registered letters Free letters Third-class matter pieces....70,498,000 Closed parcels for abroad..., 82,315 The inerease in the number of let- ters carried was 31,916,000, which, although large, was less than in any year since 1905—due doubtless to the financial stringency which set in at a usually busy season in the depart- ment. Ontario, as usual, leads in the amount of postal business, as will be seen from the following statement of the number of letters posted : Ontario ......182 838,000 Quebec 77,750,000 tN anitoba 83,923,000 British Columbia 29,521,000 Nova Scotia 24,075,000 New Brunswick........ 15,800,000 Saskatchewan 14,848,000 Alberta 13,540,000 Prince Edward Island. 2,907,000 Yukon .. 693,000 PARLIAMENT AND OBSTRUCTION.

There is nothing more discreditable in connection with Dominion affairs in the last twenty years than the failure to enter criminal prosecution against those who have robbed the public treasury, and the Opposition will greatly fail in duty if the govern- ment is not called to account for its failure as soon after parliament opens as the forms of procedure will per- mit.—[The Weekly San. There Are Others. There are other evils in the com- munity besides intemperance in the consumption of intoxicants. There is the drug habit, which has many men and women in its toils. There are the prevalent gambling practices, to which attention has been called by Rev. Mr. Stauffer. And there is an- other evil which more than any other threatens the welfare of society. Any reputable physician of experience is aware of its existence. — [Toronto News. It has been intimated that at the coming session of Parliament, the closure may be applied in order to cut short debate. If by this is meant to curtail some of the useless long speeches that sometimes burden Han- sard and accotnplish nn good, few will object. But if it is intended to pre- vent the Opposition from obtaining information that the country is en- titled to, but is held bank by the Gov- ernment, then the attempt to limit discussion will be wrong, and not in the public interests. Last session, information was ob. tatned by the persistent efforts of the Opposition, that would not.have been secured had it not been for lseraever. auce. That is one duty of an Opposb. tion.

It is a good thing that Opposition in parliament and legislature should have both energetic and capable lead- ers, also that they should be strong numerically. Such conditions are necessary to the health of a , govern- ment. No greater blessing could fall to the lot of the Whitney government than that its opposition might be larg- er and that the opposition leadership might be in the hands of the keenest and ablest parliamentarian the Re- form party has in its ranks. It may be that Mr, McKay is this man ; as yet, however, the fact has not been proven.—[13amilton Spectator. Little Big Men. The trouble with the Commons chiefly is that so many of its members are only local celebrities. They are not big men, but men with a little local popularity whish gives them strength with a narrow electorate. The really big man may not be a good "mixer," and thus may be at a disad- vantage with the merry joker, who knows and is known to all the boys. Yet• the big men are the men we want in parliament, and if we could get constituencies large enough to render it impossible for the little jok- ers to cover them, we would compel the parties to nominate candidates who must run on their merits and not on their merriment. The big head would then beat the "glad hand," and we might find ourselves with a Senate worthy of the tradition of that august "nanie.—[Montreal Star. A BAPTIST ELDER. W.
