ies to the government. ' The pub
lie has never bad a chance to ex-
press itself on the matter: so that
it is a pure assumption on the part
of the Free Press, which may or
many not be true. For our part
we believe the people favor direct
taxation. We know that in their
%annicipal affairs the people would
mot pay their taxes in any other
i, r;; -way. Taxes raised directly are
snore economically collected than_
by the ' elastic' method spoken Of
by the Free Press. If it is better
to raise a Federal revenue by in
;direct taxation, it should follow
flat it would be better for a mu-
einality-to do so, but the absurd-
. ty'of suggesting that a munici-
pality go back to that method is
so great and ridiculous that no one
would think of such a proposition.

Referring to the disclosures
in connection with the Public
Works department, the Empire
says:—
What public opinion demands is
that whenever wrongdoing " shall odour
it shall be punished, and that the gen-
eral interests shall be well proteoted
and administered as far as human in-
telligence and honesty can effect it.
This is just exactly what pub-
lic opinion does demand, and we
are glad to find such a sentiment
expressed where -least- -expected.
Rightly or wrongly, a large sec-
tion of the public have formed the
idea that the department of Pub-
lic Works in particular has Leen
grossly mismanaged, and not-
withstanding the unsavory repu-
tation of the man Murphy, are
disposed to believe his evidence.
At, any rate they demand a search-
ing investigation in order to sub-
stantiate or disprove it.
" We cheerfully avow our preference
ler direct taxation. The $35,000,000 is
».,,only $7 per head of the population, or
$35 per family, and with no duty upon
imports it would be a very easy thing to
.cave $35 to pay to the tax -gatherer.
The reduction in the prion of sugar from
ar 8 cents to 5 cents a pound saves Veto a
family using 300 pounds a year. In
buying $150 worth of men's, women's
' and children's clothing at English, in-
stead of Canadian prices, a saving of
amore Ena'n $35 would be effected. On
arlaJmost every item of food, furniture,
' ;took; and transportation, there would
.'be :a:substantial saving if the customs
' ;dnties were remitted, and the direct tax
sof 635 per family would not hurt when
there would. be $75 to $100 of saved
money to pay it with.
Nor is .there anything in the argu-
eseent that taxes are not felt when paid
?a little at a time. Take the case of a
Mann who pays $35 a year for water
rates. That is about 10 cents a day,
but it would not be as handy to pay 1
,rent every time a fellow wants a glass
nf water, and 2 Dents every time he
washes his hands, as it is to pay $8.75
per quarter. Canadians pay their
;municipal taxes directly in bulk pay -
retests, and what property owner would
;prefer to hand over 10 cents every day
gather than $36.$0 at the end of the
iy
Mae en' direct tax makes the citizen
eolitribnte a great deal more than the
treasury gets. It was invented to fool
'the people, and to get money from them
wbioh they would not consent to if they
yealizedhow it was going. It is a fraud,
and the sooner we get back to the hon-
, test direct tax for all public expenditures
the better it will be for the whole popu-
• lation—except the booders. "
Civil Service Suspensions.
When Mr Murphy, in his evi-
tlonce before the committee at Ot-
tawa, swore that he bad made a
iliberal donation to Mr Perely, the
,Engineer of the Public Works de-
farimont, the Empire ridiculed
the iitatement, claiming thilt it
Web on a par with others made by
Murphy, that Perley was above
the suspicion of receiving a bribe,`
>ad therefore no reliance could be
, 1' ltc'i d on Murphy's evidence.
but alt the very next sitting of
rho committee, Mr Porley confess-
ed that he did receive the donat-
len, which was in the shape of
jewellery to the value of $1888.
Porley's official record, outside of
alis on act, seems to have been
;wZtt141 t a stain, but ' in a moment
of weaktioss" ho did that which no
)afkfal.4bduld do, and loses his
hatuatlon ill Consequence, the goy-
O'111iionthaving suspended hint, In
The Barley Question.
A recent issue of the Empire
contaied an interview with an
Englishman, wherein he gives ut-
terance to the following concern-
ing barley:—
"Canadians have the power to grow
the finest two -row barley that can be
produced anywhere. In Canada you
have the necessary soil and climate
and all that is required to make the
barley everything that a British brewer
requires is a little more attention on
the part of the Canadian farmer.
He must be more skilful in the prepar-
ation of the ground for the seed bed.
A proper manure of right character
must be used, and strict attention given
to the garnering of the barley. After
gathering, it must be put in stack or
barn in order to give itan opportunity
to sweat. If proper attention were
given to these two important points it
would insure to the brewers all over
the world the very finest barley which
could be produced anywhere. Nature
has singularly favored Canada as a
barley•growing country, favored her to
such an extent that if the barley is
properly grown she can easily beat all
rivals and control the market."
This reads very nicely in print,
and wo only wish, for the benefit
of the Canadian farmer that it
were true. In theory this Eng-
lish gentleman may think he
knows all about the bailey quest-
ion, but when it comes to pract-
ise there is a failure to realize the
bright results prophesied. Un.
fortunataly Canada has not ,the
climate necessary for the proper
ripening of barley for the English
market. The season hole is too
short. Last season was more fav-
orable for barley than this
one has been, and the results of
last year's experiments were so
unsatisfactory that a much lower
f, ,reago was the result. The soil
is productive enough, but the
English standard of weight is not
reached an average of once in one
hundred instances. If farmers
can improve the conditions under
which they grow barley, by all
means let them do so, but to con.
vey the idea that they can grow
barley. suitable for English malt-
ing purposes, is simplW delusion-
al e took the trouble et year to
ask every farmer we knew of who
bad grown the samples of English
barley hent them, what the results
were, and their unanimous declar-
ation was that Canada could not
produce barley suitable for export
toBritain Many farmers here-
abouts aro fully as well posted or
qualified as any one to speak au-
thotitatively on this subject, and
we refer those who think we
can successfully grow barley for
this purpose. to them or their
o iihiou.
It a man has no conscience he
can evidently make money as a
government contractor.
Kingston penitentiary will
need to be enlarged, if it is to ac-
commodate all the civil service
employees who seem to be quali-
fied to go there.
It is highly creditable to the
Kingston News, an out-and-out
Conservative paper, that it openly
condemns the present expensive
Franchise Act, and recommends
Parliament to get back to the
simple, workable and less expen-
sive Provincial lists.
The fact that nearly every pa-
per feels compelled to call upon
its readers to see that their names
are placed on the Dominion Vot-
er's List, is an evidence of the
difficulty experienced in working
a franchise that should not be
tolerated for one hour.

gratulated on his success in bringing

HEALTH MATTERS—People should
not wait for a visit from the Health
Inspector, before they remove any
nuisances that may exist about their
premises. Sometimes an innocent
looking manure heap may breed dis-
ease; rea►ove it. A well may be in
such a position that a closet, though
far removed, may drain into it, and
thus pollute the water, to the injury
of those who use it. A dry -earth
closet—the beat kind if kept proper-
ly—may be left unemptied too long,
and thus become foul and unhealthy.
These and various other things may
have an existence, and they should
all be remedied without notification
from the Inspector.
A great many dl owning acci-
dents aro reported in the daily
papers. Those who pay attention
to this matter every year,will find
that a much larger proportion
than at first supposed, occur on
Sunday. People may draw what-
ever inference they like, but such
is the fact.
If farmers would always sell
their grain as soon as threshed,
they would not only give a won-
derful impetus to business, but
they would do better year in and
year out, than by holding. The
best authorities in the world lay
this down as a rule, and demon-
strate its correctness.
Reynolds' newspaper•, an influ-
ential one in England, declares
that `the pri'ncipies of tho Mon-
archy are rapidly. decaying since
it produces such nincompoops as
the Prince of Wales,' This is
strong, but it may nevertheless be
true language. A good many
people are certainly of the opinion
that the Prince will never become
King of Great Britain.

A well-known Conservative,
who was denouncing vigorously
the supposed irregularities in the
Public Works department, re-
marked ' it's bad enough' but the
Grits would be just as bad if they
were in power.' This is a com-
mon style of argument, but is
nevertheless unjust, unfair and
untrue. The Grits have been in
power in Ontario for twenty
years, and no one can place their
finger on an improper expondi-
ture of ono cent, and in the face
of such a record as this no one is
justified in charging that matters
would bo any different in Federal
affairs,
peas good for a fair average crop
since late rains. Barley light; po-
tatoes good; turnips, carrots and man-
gles fair; apples light; plumbs and

TOBONTO COLLEGE Or MUSIC.—The
closing concerts in June last in con-
nection with the Toronto College of
Music, fully represented the underlying
principles of this excellent school of
Divine art. The solo work, together
with the ensemble and conoert playing,
evidenced the efficiency of the staff and
portrayed the ever present spirit of
genuineness thak characterizes the
founder and prominent director of the
College, Mr. F. H. Torrington. Affili-
ated as it is with the' Universityof
Toronto, the Toronto College of Msic
occupies a first plane among Canadian
institutions of learning and one in
which Canadians may have the fullest
confidence in acquiring a co mplets and
highly ' artistio musical education.
Mr Torrington, who is at present in
Europe, will return refreshened in all
branches of the musical art before Sept.
3rd at which date the fall term of the
College begins. A handsomely printed
prospectus will be sent on application.
The Expositor says:— M . J. H.

Speaking of the exposurers at Ottawa
the Toronto News says: "The first
thing to do, one would think, would be
to suspend Mr Dowdney, in whose de-
partment those irregularities occurred,
and who should bo held fully respon•

Parliament' is kept pretty busy at
present investigating irregularities
which have been going on for long
periods in the public departments
at Ottawa. In the Department
of the Interior it appears that
regular officers have been, in contra-
vetnion of the Civil Service law,
drawing extra pay under false names,
and one man smilingly confessed to
having committed forgery in 'order to
get the cash for cheques drawn in
favor of another person. Are all these
exposures the beginning of the deluge
so long foretold, and, if so, how high
will it rise 7—Ottawa Free Press.
The humiliating disclosures now be-
ing made at Ottawa should seriously
startle every loyal Canadian. The
fact that politica and morality are not
conjoined is generally admitted. A
more painful fact is that man' in high
places not only dissever morality and
political life but use the name and af-
fect the character of Christian morality
in order to hoodwink the public while
quietly stealing public money. It may
,be old-fashioned, but it is nevertheless
true, that the simple, homely virtues
of sobriety, honesty and intergrity are
the lessons yet to be learned by some
of our leading politicians. There can
be no separation of true loyalty to
a country and loyalty to high moral
principle. The essence of patriotism
is the virtue of morality, not in theory
but practically. --Toronto Telegram

The revelation as to the way in whieh
the Department of the Interiorhas been
conducted is the cause for the most
rigid investigation by Government.
Compared to the boodling revealed in
the inquiry into the Tarte charges, the
manner in which the Deputy Minister
of the Department of the Interior
allowed business to be conducted in
offices under his supervision is mach
more reprehensible and should call for
severer punishment He must hays
known that these things were going on
for years, and it was his duty to put
a stop to them; but it appears front
the evidence that he himself did not
scruple to take advantage of the lax
methods he permitted to secure at
least $100. Donbtless a commission
will be appointed to investigate the
department, and it oannot get to work
too soon so that the full extent of the
irregularities May be known and an
example made of those responsible for
them. That one department is rotten
in its management casts doubt and sus-
picion on all the branches of the Gov-
ernment, and it cannot too quickly
show that frond in any form will not
be tolerated.—Toronto News, Conserva-
tive.
