L. Gibson to the Registrarship. The writer very properly takes excep- tion to it on various grounds, and bamps on several of the county papers ecause they have expressed no opin- ion concerning it. This is hardly fair for the reason that the appointment was not announced until Thursday last, and the papers had hot time to say anything about it, though one of them did copy the matter in detail from the Globe. Give the papers time to express their opinion. Should Not Do It The Globe advoca- tes that the sum of four or eight thousand dollars should be paid to the estate of the late Hon. W. D. Balfour, in recognition of his services. In a certain sense the NEw ERA is sorry that .it cannot endorse this, all the more so because the late W. D. Balfour and the NEW ERAlwere peisonal friends. We take the ground that public funds are not intended for this purpose, and while this may seem a cold and heartless way of stating it, we, nevertheless, believe it, and havea strong conviction that the public is of the same opinion. Mr Balfour leaves an estate valued at $4,000; not very much, yet a great deal more than many men can accumulate. If this is supplemented from the public funds, it will not be hard to find a justifica- tion for a similar' circumstance Bowe time again. Mr Balfour entered pub- lic life for the honors and emoluments connected therewith. . It may have been a personal sacrifice on his part to do it, yet it was to satisfy a personal ambition, and while we frankly admit that it is a nice thing to be generous, we have to drop all sentimentality when certain principles are involve There are any number of us who are quite willing to be Cabinet Ministers under ordinary circumstances, but there are a great many more who wonld like to be sacrificed on the altar of their country, if there was a possibility that the government would be generous to their heirs.
