Our taw makers at Ottawa are still pound. •ing awes at the Budget, and it is likely the debate will be carried over to be resumed after the Easter ho idays, as it is said some twenty or more m mbers are oda anxious to enlighten the w rld and make their con- stituents believe hey are earning their montsy,by airing their eloquence on the well worn subjects dealt with. The two moat notable speeches delivered were by Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr. John Oloarl- toe. They were both very able deliver. antes from their , reapective standpeints. Sir Ichard, as usual, gave forth no uncer- t n sound on the trade question. Ile is now, as ever, in favor of the lowest possible rate of taxation consistent with the fleeces- ; • eitiies of the count have increased pro protection, and no have been enduring so loog.„, If the menu- faeturera-must have more protection, similar consideratiens must be granted to the farm- ers also. And as this can not be done by way of import dut.T' s, it must be done OD the bounty statea . For example, the ' farmer must be paid from the public treasury a bounty of so much per hoelael on every bushel of grain he produces and pro- portienately on every animal raised en the farm. To campensate the farmere ia this way and to place them on an equal footing with the manufacturers, Sir Richard esti- mates, would require anexpenditure of forty million, dollars annually. le view of thia eatimate, Sir Richard thinks the manufac- turers should be thankful for what they have, and should improve their favorable opportunities, so as to be ie a position to ate.nd alone when the present system of spoon feeding is abandoned, as it must be sooner or later. Mr. Charlton, ox the other hand, while fatroring reciproci y between the United States and this corintry if it can be proeured, advises making our tariff equal to theirs uatil they agree to consent to a fair recipro- cel trade arrangement. And the same with eeery other country. Mr. Charlton, who etsed to be anch a Istrong Free Trader, is almost converted to the falacies of Protec- tionism. It has been announced that the Imperial Government have asked for another con- tingent of 2,000 mounted troops to be raised in Clanade for service in South Africa. They have also asked that an escort of 500 soldiers accompany Sir Wilfrid Lautier to Eugland '0 participate in the coronation festivities aect display. It is -tikelyithat both requests W:11 be acceeded to. As we notice in an- oher column, the railway committee have reported, recommending that the cattle guard bill be laid over until next year. 5 to the American export rates.

Mailer has ann g. Bat, if we are to ection it must be a fair the jug handled kind we Railway Discriminations. Professor S. J. McLean, who was ap- pointed by the Dominion Government to eaquire into the railway and freight dis- oriminatione, so bitterly complained of by the people of this country,and more particu- larly by those of Ontario and Manitoba, lure eompleted his labors and handed in hi3 re- port to the Government. The report is a trery exhaustive one, but the substance of it, is, that the local rates in °uteri° are in some instances ao excessive as to lead to the movement of commodities by team, also that there exists serious discriminations be- tween localities. In the Northwest he finds that the basis of local rates is s3 high that thera should be a re -adjustment. He finds that there is little competition as re- gards rates, it being more a competition of eervice than of rates. The difference be- tween ratea on long and short hauls is great- er, he thinks, than is necessary on account of tarrninal changes and other favorable con- ditions for long hauls. In short, there is not sufficient difference between the dia. taace travelled and the rate, and regulative aepervision is, consequently, necessary. In reepeet to Canadian rates and Ameri- oan rates, the professor finds that where the co idition exists that lower rates are charg- el for the same oommodity carried for a- 1 inger distance over the same line hi the ea ne direction, there is a prima-facie case to- complaint. Where a bigh4 rate is charged for the longer than for the shorter b u1, the rate for the shorter distance being at the same time manifeatly out of proper - Von to that charged for the longer haul, there is prima-facie an injustice. Where the lower rate, whether 'absolutely or pro- portionately, is given to the American produce by a Canadian road there appears to be a manifest discrimination against Can- ad'an interests. He considers numerous seecific cases, and closes this branch of the subject VS ith the following remerk s " Pub- lic policy demands that when a low rate blahs is given to American goods whioh dome into competition with Canadian goods, there should be a regulation to see that the expansion of Canadian trade is not hamper - sal. It should be seen to that Canadian g )ods are not given such a rate as to off -set their geographical advantage. It is obvious. ly not in the public intereet to allow the railway to determine unchecked what rela- I ion the Canadian export:rates should have these unjust local rates and upjustifiable discriminations. - 1 1 As a remedy for all this, the Professor recommends the appointmen013 of a compe- tent and independent railway Oosnmisaiap, clothed With ample power and abthority to deal effectually with all oompla nts and to remedy grievances where -they a s fund to, exist. This report and recommendation of 'their ()Wm commisdoner should, surel, form sufficient basis to make immediate action on the part of the Dominion Gevetnment 'and Parliament certain. There is n exerts° for further delay, and whab is done, shonld be done now, this session. The Dechne of the acycie. The Toronto Star of Monday last directs attention to the evident decline in the use of the bi3yo1e as a means of leasurn •or amuseraent. It says: On 'such a fine Sunday as yeeterday, three or four yews ago the main streets running east and west would have been thronged with bicyoliste. The season would have opened with a grand turnout, arid men would have stationed themse1vs at such advantageous points as- on s me of the Dundas street bridges ,and c tinted the •wheela that passed them in an hour going to inan with a o get across city at cer- the almeat ing to the Yesterday the west. A few years ago aewo baby carriage found it difficult t a main street leading oat of the tain hours on Sunday because o unbroken stream of bicycles g parks or out into the country. it was different. There wer almost as many carriages on the streets ne bioyeles. The horse has regained his place it would seem, for the fact is worth men not only did the bicycle make' a ing yesterday, but the hoisel was little, surprisingly little, Teis latter fact, however, may only mean that the automobile is slower than the horse carriage in taking advantage of the; advent of spring. No tloubt many of these who motor for pleasure have not yet got their vehicles made ready for the season. The bicycle has fallen into _place as the vehiele for the use of the individual. , Like the wheelbarrow, it is used by thOse who need to use it, and it is highly useful to a large proportion of the people. If the exact figures could be Been -red, ic might be found that a fairly large proportion of thoee who formerly rode bicycles do so still, but with- out parading it or making of it a pastime. A man now uses his wheel as a substitute for the street car in going to and from latiei- nesse at one time it was the eabstitute for his home, his church, bis reading, and alt his ordinary pursuits. At one time the churches complained of reduced attendance, the saloons of a lessened businees, the thea- ters of a diminiehed patronage, all, on ac- count of the craze for bicycling. Even the newspapers complained that people had quit reading in order to g� wheeling. I4tead of lying in bed until noon on Sunday morning, the artizen arose at cock crow and, ate his dinner in Whitby, Aurora, or Brampton. There is no doubt but what the Star says is true and it appliee not alone to the larger cities such as Torortto, but to the smaller towns and country distriets as well. 'the bicycle is a useful and convenient rmachine and will, no doubt, continue to be used in inoreased numbers for business purpases, but as a soarce of amusement and pleasure, its day has one by. Ib is too hard work. It is not likely, either, that the noble old horse ha.s much to fear from competition with th 3 automobile, especialle as a means of business or pleasure travel. In the firet place the automobile is too expensive for anything like general use, and in the second place there seems to be a facination and at- traction about riding or driving behind a good horse that does not attach etci any in- animate locomotion machine, espeCially for pleasure driving. So that the bottle is not likely to suffer much from competition with ' either the bicycle or automobile. icniteg that pee.,r shows egg carriage a evidence. Editorial Notes and Comments.

Speaking of the speech delivered by 'Sir ,Richard Cartwright, in the HouSe, at �t tewa, the other day ,-,the Montreal Herald says : "If there is a fault; to be found with Sir Richard Cartwright's speech, it is in the fact that it contains too mach im- portant material, that it develops too maray lines of thought, to be carried by t,he news- paper readirig public after a single:rdadin " That is a characteristic of nearly all Sir Richard's speeches, bat it i3 a fault to which most politioal speakers are not subject.
