It may not be possible to repair the
errors of the ;,past. It is possible to

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.

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

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.

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.

L N BANK.
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.
