guard needed is that we shall have took tire .and the inmates barely es-.
in the Auditor General a fearless eaped wlth their lives. It is said
•
critic ,of accounts and expenditures,
who shall see that Parliament is ful-
ly informed, and. the Government is
not blindly -walking into • error.
Where the judgment of ..tbe adminis-
tration seems, in the 'opinion of tbe
Auditor General, to erre and. where
Parliairient confirms the error, that
°Mina sbould still be free -to clas-
sify it as being in his opinion en
error, lyterin the exeoutive work of
Government his view could nq_t be
pernaitted to override that of the
Ministry and lasrliament. It would
be to make or the Auditor. Pn autp-
crat, At the same time EM.r. Mc-
Dougall's services to good govern-
ment have been so eminent, so invel-
liable, that we must 1i hope that
he will withdeew his resignation,
and that such further assistanceaaf

The Auditor General.
Mr. -3", Larne McDowell who, for
a quarter -a a century, has filled
the position of Auditor- General • of
lthe Dominion has resigned his p0 -
QT what is tantamount to the
nameething, has asked for superanua-
tion after the first a July. In the
event of his application being ac-
cepted be will vacate his office and
retire on an annual,allosvance. Mr.
McDougall was appoiated by the
Maekeicizie government when the
office was created. He is, therefore,
the, only Auditor General that Can-
ada. has had. Prior to his aptastast-
ment be bad been a member of the
Ontario Legislature and afterwerds
- of the Dominion Parliament. He re-
isigeid his seat in ParliameEt to
:take his present office. He ha i- fil-
led the positien with credit to him-
self and benefit to the conntry and
it will not be easy to fill his place.
He bas always acted with the great-
est impartiality and has treated. all,
Conservative and Liberal alike, and
has never even been t suspected of
favoring one more than another. He
was appointed by Parliam-ent and
holds bis position subject to tbe will
of both; branches of Parliament' and
can only be dismissed on a, two-
thirds Vote af the members of .both
the Commons and the Senate. He is,
therefore, entirely independent of
the Government of the day. The
aaowers 0i:inferred upon him, by the
audit act ere very. wide. His duties
are to make regulations, approved by
the treasury board, which is a com-
mittee of 'the ,Government, for the
Internal management of his office,
treeelve accounts of all. moneys
deposited ; check all payments to
anvil servarits '; countersign cheeks
for expenditures and guard against
eexceeding appropriations ; zee that
no 'cheek issues for money not voted
ty Parliament, without repcirting to
ithe Government ; obtain vouchers
•Ifor payments _; prepare a statement
of all reeeipts and payments in de-
tail, and lay it before Parliament.
.00. has access to all ,aceounte and.
„papers, and is expected. keep- Par-
liament irifortne& of any excess, of
'expenditure or °titer irregularities.
In 'case 'of his refuial to certify.to a
check .the treasury board constitute
so* of court appeal, and deeides
inliether shall issue or net.
In leis application for auperaapes
tion Mr. McDougall complains that
bis ,decisions have frequently been
over -ruled by the treasury board
and in :order to -prevent tbis- he
asks for enlarged powers , and it is
because that the Government and
Parliament decline to take action
- this direction that be desires to
be, 'relieved from. his position. it
seems to Us that in his demarids Mr.
MeDougall misapprehende his true
pasition. If, on account ef the. ex-
panding business of his office: he de-
sires mere, aseistanco, the demand is
•reasionable ana should. be granted.
But, whorl he asks for increased
powere that will on a ble lam to
Over-ruic the Government and Par-
liament, he makes a nernand that
should not be granted ewn to him.
.1t. is his privilege and his duty to
yeport Part naent and tke coun-
try any action may deem to be
improper, bait when this Is me his
duties cease. Ile must n, be al-
lowed to, -usurp the functions and.
_powers of Parliament. If he were
te do this he would become a dic-
tator and an autocrat. This we do
net want in this co-untry. If the
Government and Parliament beed his
remonetranees on any ma I ter, well
nd good ; hut if 1 lte,t fail to do this;
then on them and not on t he Audit-
or -General must rest the respoeeibil-
ity. In all these matters we must

-The principal- item or interest
in the Domieion .Parliamient during
the past week was the discussion, of
the Dundenald-Fisher embroglio. It
seas the subject of an animated and.
somewhat acrimonious 'discussion.
All admitted that] Dundonald had
acted indiscretely and that the Gov-
ernment could not have, done other-
wise. than eancel his Appointment,
but th,e OppositiOn Sought to blame
the .Minister of Agriculture, Hon.
Mr. Fisher, for, interfering With a
departmeet over which he hed no
control. But it was very elearly
proven 'that Mr. Fisher's interfer-
ence was 'simply an ineident of the
difficulty .and that thee* lied been
,
for years frietion anddissatisfac-
tion between the -Minister of Mili-
tia and. Lord. Dundonald, the Com-
mandant and that the friction was
'occasioned because the Commandant
sought to secure a control suca as
should only be held by the Minister
andith.e Government. Besides Ibis it
was also shown that,the Minister of
Agricultuee had only interfered ine
a. case where he was personally in-
terested. as the representative or
the district in which the new regi-
ment was organized and. Obit his in-
terferenee was not only sanctioned
by hiS'oelleagues but was . actually.
invited byr them and by the respon-
sible Minister. This being the case
the Commandant had really no cause
for complaint as if he had, properly
understood the responeibilities ea
his pbeition he would have recog-
nized the feet that his authority
must always 'be subservient to the
authority of the Government who
are responsible- to Parliament and
through Parliamont to the people.
13ut, as Sir Wiltrid in his able ad-
dress very truly said, it was simp-
ly a tontintation of the struggle
which has existed in a]l countries

Minieter of Agriculture for his -in-

tirement of Lord Dundonald. This,
howevete was voted down by the us-
ual majority on a straight party
vote end thus the matter ends in so
far as Parliament La concerned. 11
would, also, be a great deal better
if both parties , outside of Parlia-
ment would let it drop also. De-
spite the statements of Lord. Dun-
donald, every person know % that the
-'militia of this country was never in
a more efficient condition than H„,
is at the present time. We hew: all
of nailitaryisrn that we requit•e or
want in this country and the cost is
as mach as the people can stancl or
will beer. The very best defenceeve
flfl have is to cultivate a feeling of
frieed.ship bet wean eurselvem and
our neighbors and te make them feel
that Lt is in their interests as well
as ours to live on friendly terms
with each other and to cultivate
