Sir Frederick in His Fighting Clothes.
An incident of the week wawa Audi-
ing attack by Mir Frederick Horden
upon_thecivil service commission for

fact.) were that, before the policy 05*
adoptee' on the reser) u11nendatton of
the • House of CCo11unonm, the Minister
Of Militia incorpon•atsd it a pane, in
which he had a predominating inter-
est, but, on the Government adopting
the policy of aiding cold storage, he
dishanded the company ; and one of
him associates became intereetel in
the New Brunswick Cold Storage
Company. which subsequently oda
tailed a Government suhddy.
Everyone in New Brunswick admits
that the company, is well worthy of
such aid, for it is well equipped and
will give the farmers a full oppor-
tunity of getting their produce to the
'utayplsGt_kers in a
condition to matt'. BIRO'

the highest prices. The Minister of
Militia took a patriotic interest in
giving this service to the producers in
the Maritime Provinces : and, it the
Government had not adopted the
policy it' did, he would have gone on
with his eompany. Yet the Opposi•
tion deftly made it appear that the
Minister of Militia hale a "cold stor-
age graft."
The fifth and moat recently ex.
pl led "scandal" is the Hodgins
charges. Here the country wan being
robbed of S1,(U),(I00 through over-
clasniHcation ; and yet, before the
committee of investigation, Major.
Ilodgins failed to prove that there
hall been a dollar of over -classification.
He now Heys that it in a queotion for
arbitration : and the inquiry has been
closed. The result of the investiga-
tion has only been to plane doubt as to
the standing of Major Il dgin aa* an
engineer : and it in to he regretted that
he should have ever been no foolish an
to let his feelings over b . enforced
resignation overcome his 1Nleetter jlldg=
ment. When he made the Statements
he did to The Victoria Ooolonist he
WAS, undoubtedly, the victim of very
bitter feelings, and, if he had allowed
Ute balm of time to heal the soreness
which he naturally telt, he would, no
doubt" have never pet himself hecome
the subject of such quentlon*hle no-
toriety. The' incident be preetieglly
closed, however, and the public will
be Bled to know that the commission
which has been entrusted with the
oversight of the Motioned Transcon-
tinental is neither lacking in its sense
of duty nor incompetent as guardian
of the public interest.
