Moreover the system is not sound. Why should a few people be allowed to ` make themselves mil- lionaires in such a way? It may not be possible to repair the errors of the ;,past. It is possible to prevent their repetition in the case of new railway undertakings in the future. The ideal policy as it appears to the undersigned, for Government to adopt, so soon as it shall be deemed necessary to take np the subject of a third trans- continental Railway, would be to in; sure, first, that the railway shall not promote the carriage of our export products or our imports southerly by way of United States lines of railway; but to and from the St. Lawrence in summer and the ports of Halifax and St. John in winter. That the Quebec bridge be utilized as a part of the said line and the railway be pushed westerly from that point by degrees to the Peaoe River district. Through the Rockies to the Pacific Coast. In the meantime it would be well to de- cline all assistance of railways to which Government has not already commit- ted, and propose. to Parliament that railway charters covering this terri- tory be withheld. oh Props. s, p & x tw SandersO a , F A GREAT DJVINE On Wednesday night of last week the 'Rit ht Rev, Maurice S. Baldwin, Bishop of Huron, departed this life, after a short illness, at his home. in London, He was born in Toronto 68 years ago last June. He was educated in Upper Canada College and. Trinity College and was ordained in' 1860 in in the Diocese of Huron where he la- bored. for five years, when he was ap- pointed Rector of St. Lake's church, Montreal. In 1871 his great ability as a preacher was recognized by his be- ing made Rector of Christ Church Ca- thedral in that city. In 1879 be receiv- ed his final honors in Montreal when he was made Dean of the Diocese. His ministry in Montreal was a remarkable success and was marked by a deepen- ing of spiritual Life and great liberality in his congregation. The record of his. good work and his fame as a preacher was not confined to Eastern Canada for in 1883 he was chosen to fill the va- cancy in the Bishopric of the large and popular Diocese of Huron. The late Bishop was a man of wide charity and was universally respected. Those who knew him best loved him most. There was a simplicity in his character and daily life which made his presence a power wherever he went. He was a busy man continually travelling throughout his large Diocese and preaching two or three times nearly every Sunday.. He was a great student of the Bible and very earnestly defend- ed its truths when they were assailed by higher critics. He was a warm friend of the Bible Society and was President of the Western Bible Socie- ty. He was also President of the Lord's Day Alliance in London. He will al- ways rank among the foremost of the preachers of his time. There was a zeal and a fervor in his preaching which seemed apostolic. It was al- ways a joy and a privelege for him to proclaim the simple truths of salva- tion. He was above all a spiritually minded roan. His thoughts were al- ways on things above. His death will be a great loss to the church in Cana- da and be will be mourned not only by people of the Angelican church but equally so by members of other de- nominations who had learned to ad- mire and love him as a man of God. GOVERNMENT U TVNERSHIP. The Memorandum, which appears in the Montreal Star opens with a strong defence of Government Owner- ship. - The Intercolonial, Blair urges, has not had a fair test. Its location is bad commercially and was dictated by politica.] and military reasons. As for its administration Mr. Blair argues (1) that it has been free from secret rates and discrimination. (2) that corporation owned railways are by io means free from political influences and corruption in Management. He heartily approves Government Own- ership of railways in Ganda. There is one certain means of put- ting the Intercolonial upon an inter- est paying basis, and that is by the extension of its line. The Montreal extension has done much; but the further extension will do more. All winter shipments from West or- dinarily reach r-dinarilyreach the seaports, to St. John or Portland via the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk, respectively, and although the Intercolonial is fairly well placed to carry freight to Halifax and St. John it must always remain excluded from that portion of the bus- iness arising west of Montreal so long as the present conditions continue. The undersigned has long held the opinion that a port on the Georgian Bay should be reached by the Inter - colonial and thus a connection bad with the Canadian Northern by water transport open and practicable for from 4 to 6 weeks longer than canal navigation. To the undersigned, it has always appeared as if no good reason, found- ed upon the highest political wisdom, existed why the Province of Ontario should not be traversed by the Inter - colonial, That Province bas been the storm centre of all opposition of the Government Railway. Nothing it would seem could be de- vised in the way of a railway policy better calculated to strengthen the Labor Party in Ontario than this would do. If evidence were required to supportthis view, it wouldhe found in the enthusiasm with which the people of that Province haveapproved the building of the Terniskaming Rail- way by the provincial Government. Not a word is heard of the folly of Government Ownership in connection with that project. The fact is public opinion is ripe to accept such a policy as a boon from the Government, and as promising relief to the Country, from what, rightly or wrongly, people ,believe' are unreasonable exactions of the Corporation Railways. It would be a grave political biunder ;to respond to the western cry—and ft must be responded to—without seeing to it that the interests of the people of the east are not overlooked. Mr, .Blair next urges the purchase of the Canada :Eastern by the Govern- ment. Public opinion, Mr, Blair states, "is. now very decidedly opposed to the Bon using? policy," If bonds may be disposed of by com- panies at a large discount, and stock distributed gratuitously or on terms Which produce little or no cash at all for construction and equipment pur- poses-- which urposes--which has been forbidden by the law --the business suet railn'ays THY THE CENSUS COST 440 MUCH. The Hon. Mr. Fisher has giyen many reasons for the enormous cost of the 1901 census over that of 1891. The cost of the former (1901) up to the present being over $1,200,000 and not yet finished, whilst that of 1891 was under $600,000. The real reason for this vast differ- ence in the cost came out before the public accounts coin in during the session of 1903. The facts demonstrated were: That the enumerators were engaged at $3 per day of eight hours, and the same rate for overtime. That two days after they were :at work they were recalled to a central point by the commissioners to receive fresh instructions., This was the evidence given by the census commissioner for West Middle- sex, and there can be no doubt but that all the commissioners had to do the same. To call the enumerators to a cen- tral point after they had been some days at work, re -instruct them, and have them go over; the ground they had already covered, must have taken onthe average about ten days. There were 8,800 enumerators engaged at $3 per day. The extra cost owing to this blunder would be $264,000. The evidence taken proves that after the work was nearly completed an order -in -council was passed on the 28th April changing the pay of enumerat- ors from $3 per day to piece work. This mode of -payment would deprive the enumerators of any compensation for the delay in being recalled, and having to go over the work again. Many of the enumerators wrote to the papers at the time recording their objections to the change. To satisfy the enumerators they were permitted to charge for extras to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars, as may be seen from a reference to the Auditor General's report for 1902-03. The above was the main cause of the costliness of this census compared to the last. Other mistakes were made that were not so costly in money but their ultimate effect will be hurtful to the good name of Canada. NOTES AND COMMENTS Vote for B. B.

DIED IN LONDON, -This' community has been shocked by the premature and sad death of a former resident of this village in the person of Percival W. Brown, who died in the Victoria Hospital, London, on Monday night last. About three weeks ago Mr.. Brown was taken down with a severe attack of typhoid fever and while his case presented symptoms of a serious nature there was every prospect of his rugged constitution throwing off the ravages of the disease and that he would be restored to his usual good health, but He who rules all things willed it otherwise and the deadly dis- ease performed its work. He was a young man of excellent qualities and his amiable disposition made for him no end of friends, who will deeply re- gret his early demise. His remains were brought from London by train on Tuesday evening to Exeter and from there were conveyed to the resi- dence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Brown, here, from where the funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery on Wednesday. Besides a sorrowing widow and two small children he is survived by his parents, two brothers and one sister. Mr. R.

This flourishing institution only lacks one year to complete the half century of its operations. During all the years that have elapsed since its foundation, dividends haye been regularly paid. It has achieved a suc- cess which speaks volumes for its judicious and conservative manage- ment. As regards capital paid-up and rest or reserve fund, it occupies a foremost position, the latter being equal to the former, both standing at $3,000,000. Snch au achievement places the institution on the strongest possible foundation, one which cannot. fail,in these days of rigid competition, to inspire renewed confidence. The statement of profit and loss for the past year shows the net gain at the large figure of $457,290, being an in- crease of $18,198 over that of a year ago, the net profits of which were re- garded as highly satisfactory. The directors appropriated $150,000 out of this year's profits to the reserve fund and thus made it equal to the total paid-up capital. At the same time the directors were enabled to declare a dividend of nine per cent. per annum, and the probabilities are that as the. reserve fund has reached its present high figures, further additions to it ]nay not be desirable, in which case an increased dividend may be looked for in the currentyear, in fact the Presi- dent in his address held out the pros- pect of an increase of one per cent. at the same time impressing upon the shareholders the necessity of continu- ing a policy of safeguarding the in- terests of the Bank and adding to it immediately available assets, for lean years must follow the years of great prosperity which have blessed our country. The assets of the Bank were given at $27,848,493, and the liabilities to the public at $21,595,943. Of the forrner no less a sum than $9,150,785, which is equal to about 424- per cent. of the total liabilities to the public, is immediately available, thus showing the prudence which is exercised in safeguarding the bank against the remotest of possibilities. A feature to which attention should be specially given is that brought out in the Presi- dent's address when he said in refer- ence to the building up of„the reserves that they were invested so as to be pronaptly realizable and available to meet any demands. The general statement is a very satisfactory one and indicates that the interests of the shareholders are well looked after and that the sphere of the future of the Bank has been enlarged to an extent which promises even better things in brae to come.
